[Chapter 229 Wang Chong’s Distress]

: “This thing is called a sand table. From now on, there will be someone in the army who will be in charge of the sand table. As for the function, it is to be able to deduce battles on this, so that you don’t panic during wartime. This is what the generals must master. “Zhao Xu said.

What he made is a war sand table, mainly to let the generals play the red and blue sides to conduct confrontation exercises on the terrain of the sand table, so as to improve the command ability of the generals.

Especially when artillery is installed in the army, generals need to know how to use artillery on various terrains.

When Chang Wei heard the words, he secretly remembered them in his heart.

In the last battle to defeat Yuan’s soldiers and defend Yanguan, neither he nor any general in the army questioned King Yan’s ability to lead the army.

If before, to the soldiers, King Yan was just King Yan.

But now, King Yan has undoubtedly become the supreme general who no one can replace in the royal family’s army.

The prestige in the army is unshakable.

Therefore, since King Yan said that the sand table is useful, it is naturally useful, but he has not realized the benefits yet.

“How about the recruiting?” Zhao Xu said seriously after sitting down on the chair beside the sand table.

Xiliang surrendered to Beidi, which greatly increased Beidi’s national power.

These days, Beidi seems to be harassing the border continuously in order to intimidate Dasong.

Invisibly, this gave him a lot of pressure.

Therefore, he must expand the army of the royal residence, fill up the army with 120,000 people as soon as possible, and conduct training.

After all, he knew very well that the surrounding environment of his Fengtu was very harsh.

The imperial father of the capital is also an unreliable person.

“Returning to Your Highness, many people have been displaced during this chaos. The young and strong among these people are actively participating in the recruitment. The recruitment of 60,000 recruits is half completed in a short time, and it is estimated that it will be full in half a month.” Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu nodded.

For these common people, three taels of silver a month, and the royal family’s army with food and drink are definitely very tempting, so it is not difficult to understand the enthusiasm of these young people.

Keeping his eyes on the sand table, Chang Wei continued: “Now these recruits have been sent capable generals to train, but Your Highness, there are too many recruits, and the military uniforms, armor and weapons cannot be supplied.”

Zhao Xu nodded, In disguise, Chang Wei asked him to urge the military commander to provide equipment to the army.

He also scratched his head at this matter.

The scale of the Bing Zhansi is too small, and the productivity of an army of 120,000 people will inevitably be unable to keep up.

Therefore, the Military Division must expand.

In addition to Bing Zhansi, other workshops also need to be expanded and formalized.

After all, he was just playing around before.

But as he took charge of the four northern counties, he could no longer develop wildly at will. He wanted to establish an industrial foundation on his own land.

“This king will remind you.” Zhao Xu said.

Wang Ying was not afraid of Chang Wei at all, Chang Wei was so anxious that he rolled his eyes and said two words, “No”.

When Zhao Xu said that, Chang Wei felt happy.

Without uniform uniforms and armor, these recruits looked like disaster victims, which really made him uncomfortable.

“By the way, have you selected the first batch of students for the Military Academy?” Zhao Xu remembered something.

“The generals were very active when they learned that His Highness was giving lectures in person. The last general had no choice but to draw lots to select 300 people.” Chang Wei recalled that the generals almost fought over the places, and now they are still laughing.

Zhao Xu felt relieved now.

The three major halls are the foundation for him to take off in the following three aspects of government affairs, military affairs, and technology in the four northern counties, and he cannot ignore it.

Although the knowledge in his mind is vast, it is impossible for him to come up with everything by himself.

And teaching them what is in their minds is equivalent to having a clone of a lot of knowledge.

With them, all aspects of Yanzhou will gradually develop and improve.

“Well, that’s right. Next, I will send five hundred scholars to the army.”

“Five hundred scholars? Your Highness, why would you dare to have so many scholars in the army? All of them are powerless.” Chang Wei suddenly felt hairy.

The confrontation of cultural relics is not a matter of one generation.

General military generals don’t like civil officials with pens.

Think they are sour, and often like to direct blindly.

In addition, civilian officials often deduct their military pay, and this disgust is even worse.

So when King Yan said that he would give 500 scholars in the army, he suddenly felt cold.

Zhao Xu had expected Chang Wei to be like this.

But his changes to the military were unswerving.

After all, the current royal army is still a feudal army.

If it weren’t for his high prestige in the army, the stinking problems of a soldier would also exist in the royal family’s army.

When Beidi was hunting in autumn, some generals tried to confuse the soldiers under his command to mutiny.

Although most of them were sent to Chang Wei by the soldiers, some of them followed the generals to make trouble.

It’s just that Chang Wei discovered it in time and suppressed it.

It had only been a few months since it happened, but he kept it in his heart.

Especially after the royal army expanded to 120,000 people.

Some troops will be stationed in the Yanzhou Pass, which is a little far from Yanjun.

If there is a character like Yuan Shikai in these armies who turns recruits into private soldiers.

The plot of bombarding the palace is not impossible.

“Whether you want it or not, these scholars have to be arranged in the army, and their role will be great.” Zhao Xu said: “When they pass the school examination, they will enter the army and be responsible for educating soldiers. But you tell the generals not to worry, they won’t compete for the command of the soldiers.”

“…” Chang Wei tried hard to think after hearing the words.

After thinking for a long time, he admitted that he had failed.

He still couldn’t understand King Yan’s unique idea.

However, the royal army is the personal guard of King Yan.

He just needs to execute.

“The duty of a soldier is to obey orders.” This is also a sentence that hangs on the Military Academy of Peking University, and it was engraved by King Yan.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Clenching his fists heavily, he shouted loudly.

Zhao Xu rubbed his ears, rolled his eyes at Chang Wei, expressing his dissatisfaction with his loud voice.

After chatting a few more words, he left from Beidaying and went straight to the government office.

…

the military commander.

Wang Chong angrily threw the failed spring steel on the ground.

Rubbing his head in pain, he muttered to himself, “Why can’t it work? Why can’t it work?”

Ever since King Yan handed him the firing device of the flintlock, he has been competing with spring steel.

There is no other reason, because he found that the most important thing in this firing device is the spring steel.

If you can’t make spring steel, you can’t pull the trigger to drive the flint to hit the gunpowder tank to ignite the gunpowder.

At the beginning, he didn’t care about whether it was spring steel or not, he just used ordinary steel bars.

But this kind of steel bar cannot return to its original shape when it is bent.

This made him seriously think about the meaning of the word spring steel.

Next, he kept trying to forge a steel bar that could be bent and restored, but failed every time.

“Let’s go ask His Highness for advice. The three-legged cat’s kung fu still wants to be the leader. I really don’t know how much to eat.” His father’s voice sounded behind him, and Wang Chong was even more ashamed.

“If you don’t go, Your Highness will laugh at me.” Wang Chong’s self-esteem was severely hit.

Although Wang Ying was strict with Wang Ying, he still hoped that Wang Chong would achieve something.

He showed a smile that he rarely showed in front of Wang Chong, “I think back then, I failed more than a hundred times in order to make a piece of porcelain for my father. In the end, I asked an old potter for advice. With a little help, my father only mastered the essentials. Fear of failure, fear of failure, and fear of failure.”

Wang Chong was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth.

In his youthful mood, he was just angry with himself just now.

Having figured it out, he said, “I’m going to find His Highness right away.”
