Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Episode 84

Just as Ha Xian was hesitating, Tu Da had already noticed the abnormality in the face of his capable subordinate, raised his head calmly, and asked slowly: "If there is any bad news, let's tell it together, don't you?" Haxian, do you think I'm that fragile?"

"It's nothing, actually it's nothing, Marshal, but I heard that some nobles seem to have doubts about our request to increase the number of standing troops. Eastern." Hasian laboriously considered his words, trying not to arouse Tu Da's sensitivity to the originally harsh words.

Although there was no expression on his face, Tu Da couldn't help sinking in his heart. Haxian's words were very cryptic, but Tu Da knew that the dissatisfaction of the nobles was by no means so simple. There are many more things hidden. Since the last time he submitted a report suggesting strengthening the standing armies of Zhengxi, Zhengdong and Zhengnan, Tu Da noticed that His Highness the Great Chief seemed to see him in a different way, and his suggestion had not been adopted. However, the pace of the Chidi's army expansion was even faster, which made Tu Da even more anxious.

He and Besan jointly signed a letter requesting an increase in order to maintain the military balance after the expansion of the Chidi army, and finally got the approval of the chief. , although there was only an increase of 10,000 people in each department, the fierce quarrel at the noble meeting still vividly recalls today's Tu Da. Sternly, but Tu Da knew that the seeds of doubt had been sown in the great chief's heart earlier. It can be vaguely seen from the fact that His Royal Highness the Great Chief increased the number of his own guards directly under him to 50,000 shortly after the addition of the ministries. You must know that some people proposed to increase the number of guards several times before, but they never got the consent of His Royal Highness the Chief, but this time, the number was increased by 20,000 at once, and there was no discussion at the meeting of the nobles, which made Tu Da feel secretly Startled.

"Oh? Are there any new rumors?" Tu Da tried his best to calm his fluctuating heart, not wanting his subordinates to see his worries.

"Uh, this," Ha Xian really didn't know whether to tell these shameless rumors. If it was said that the commander-in-chief had a heart of disobedience, Ha Xian would not believe it even if he was killed, but these rumors are the most powerful at any time. It can guide the tendency of ordinary people, especially when facing the threat of Chidi people. If the commander-in-chief is not allowed to know clearly, once there is a disturbance, the commander-in-chief may not know the storm behind it, " Commander, it’s just some despicable rumors, but we have to guard against them, the subordinates have heard some people say that the Lord is using the threat of the Chidi people to increase his strength to conquer the west and east, and intends to suppress General Wule.”

Although Ha Xian's words were very vague, he certainly understood the implication of who Tu Da was. Besan was his good friend, and the two had always had a good relationship. The primary mobilized force of the standing army controlled by people has reached 80,000, which is naturally a threat to those nobles who have always opposed and suspected themselves. They will naturally try to frame themselves, making Tu Da worry that it is not these nobles, but the chiefs he is worried about His Highness's opinion of himself, if His Highness the Chief still trusts him, then everything is just a breeze, but if His Highness has an idea in his heart, I am afraid that his situation will be a little embarrassing.

"That's enough, don't listen to these gossips, the more you pay attention, the more proud those people will be, don't bother them at all, they will naturally be boring." Tu Da waved his hand to stop Ha Xian who was about to say more, and said decisively : "His Royal Highness the Chief is extremely wise, how could he fail to understand these things? If there is anything in Tu Da, I'm afraid I won't be sitting here."

When Ha Xian's figure disappeared outside the door, Tu Da's figure seemed to have aged several years suddenly. I'm afraid it's the wisdom and talents that make people feel uneasy. Who can really make people feel at ease in these matters?

Wufeng can finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a good rest.

Negotiations with the representatives of the untouchables were quite difficult. Their conditions were very simple. They only asked for equal citizenship for all the untouchables. After Wufeng gained the dominant position in the Central Plains regime, he changed to give the untouchables equal citizenship rights. This absolutely unrealistic condition made Wufeng almost give up his original plan, but Lei Zhu's attitude was extremely firm. , it seems that there is no room for compromise, so Wufeng can't help but feel a little discouraged about his original thoughts. Fortunately, Su Qin and Wang Liao had in-depth and multi-faceted discussions with Lei Zhu respectively, and explained in detail the strong relationship between the Northwest and the Central Plains gentry. The society's opposition is probably only for withdrawing from the Central Plains. Even Lei and Zhu can see this clearly. Li Wufeng will never accept this kind of result, nor are they happy to see it.

The focus of the dispute between the two parties was on when to recognize and declare the equal citizenship rights of the untouchables. Wufeng proposed to completely solve this problem within 20 years, but Lei and Zhu could not accept it at all. It must be achieved within three years after taking control of the Central Plains, but the result of Wufeng's retreat was to be resolved within ten years. In the end, Wufeng made a huge concession, agreeing to solve the issue of equal citizenship for untouchables within five years after he gained a decisive advantage, and is willing to A covenant was made to prove it, but it also raised a requirement, that is, the untouchables must use their sincerity and achievements for Wufeng to prove the basis for pardoning them to the people of the world.

After completing the principled questions, Wufeng directly handed over the later work to Su Qin and Ling Tianfang. Lei Cangpu immediately agreed to transfer 300 elite Shui Yong to the Northwest Naval Base of Baixiang Lake in batches. Formally participate in the establishment and training of the Northwest Navy, and will successively send more than a thousand sailors into the Northwest to form the Bonan Water Battalion together with the 10,000 strong men selected by Wufeng from the reserve staff who are familiar with water. Wufeng will also integrate its intelligence system resources in the Central Plains, realize the reorganization of its original intelligence agency and Lehu's intelligence network, so that its intelligence network can truly cover every corner of the empire. Of course, this is a long-term job, but This is at least a good start. With Lehu's ears, eyes and tentacles all over the middle and lower levels, especially in Qinlou and Chu Pavilion, Wufeng believes that the work efficiency of his intelligence network in the Central Plains will undergo a qualitative leap.

After finishing the negotiations related to untouchable affairs, Wufeng unabashedly threw an olive branch to Lei Cangpu, hoping that Lei Cangpu could join him and serve as his naval staff officer, which made Lei Cangpu quite To be touched, Li Wufeng has such a big tolerance for a bandit leader who was born as a pariah, which made him more optimistic about the Northwest, but out of responsibility to his clan and the entire Changfeng Society, Lei Cangpu declined Wufeng's offer Solicitation, and proposed to Wufeng that from a long-term perspective, Wufeng should also allow Changfeng to maintain a certain strength, and if possible, let Changfeng grow further. When Wufeng sets foot in Jiangnan and the East China Sea, Changfeng It will be an important arm of Wufeng.

Under the attention of Wufeng, the heavy armored cavalry division has been fully formed since the rebellion in the Western Regions was resolved. This is the first heavy armored cavalry division organized into a division in the entire Northwest, and Wufeng has made a lot of determination The heavy cavalry division was just formed, because the cost of the heavy cavalry division was too high, and each soldier needed three horses on average, and the training requirements were quite complicated. An iron leaf armor weighing more than ten catties~IndoMTL.com~ also requires skillful and flexible use of iron spears weighing more than sixty catties. To give full play to combat power requires uniform discipline to guarantee, and absolutely strict discipline requires long-term training to achieve, let alone achieved overnight. These requirements have prevented Wufeng from being able to make up his mind to form an important team at the division level. Installing cavalry, Wufeng didn't really decide to form it until the formation of the four major legions.

A total of six brigades of heavy cavalry were drawn from the heavy cavalry regiments of the first and second divisions of the Northwest First Army Corps as the basis for forming the heavy cavalry division, which made Qu Bo and Sha Lang very surprised Dissatisfied, but helpless, after all, the formation of heavy cavalry divisions is an important step in this military reform, and heavy cavalry is no better than other military branches. Troops formed in a hurry are worthless and cannot be used in actual combat at all. This requires some The troops made sacrifices to make up for it, but in the entire Northwest Army, only the First and Second Divisions of the First Army had a regiment of heavy cavalry. Wufeng was able to reserve two brigades for each of the two divisions. It is already commendable. The formation of the light cavalry divisions was drawn from each division of the four major armies, and the supplementary personnel Ling Tianfang was simply supplemented directly from Mott's reserve. The engineering corps was also quickly established under Wufeng's close watch. A large number of equipment was quickly produced and equipped with the continuous financial support of the combat readiness department for the newly formed engineer corps. It was first used in the Engineer Division, and the technicians of the Science and Technology Department even went deep into the Engineer Division to work with the Engineers to study the use and maintenance methods of these equipment in actual combat. This has become the most important task of the Science and Technology Division.
