In March, the earth warms up, and the east wind in the small building is howling, making people feel comfortable.

The buildings in the north are somewhat rough, with yellow-brown carved wood and wood railings. When grass grows and birds fly, the spring breeze is rapid and violent, the streets are bustling with traffic, people come and go, and people are clamoring.

Li Xingzhou lay on the railing and looked at the bustling street scene, and felt a sense of accomplishment that would make him enjoy.

You can see many faces of southerners from afar, speaking southern dialects, selling fruits such as loquats and guava. These things were hard to see in the capital before.

There are also many exquisite utensils and specialties from the river-along cities in the north, gathered in Kaiyuan Prefecture.

The entire Jingguo has been operating rapidly and prospering in the past two years as if he had opened the Ren and Du meridians. It is undoubtedly the first achievement for his vigorous operation of the two major river basins.

Just as I was thinking, a crisp voice came from my face: "Are you annoyed..."

Li Xingzhou lowered his head, Shiyu was wearing a green dress, with a shy and angry face, and gave him a light look, "I'm just paying attention. Don't bother me, go find Gillian."

He smiled wickedly, took back his big hand that was so stupid, and said helplessly: "Giao is helping me write a memorial."

Li Xingzhou is now at the age of 19 or 20, and the oldest boy is just a fierce and powerful person. In addition, he is now about 1.85 meters tall, he is practicing martial arts every day and is full of energy. He can't stand him, and Gillian can't stand him, and He Qian has passed by. The little girl is lively, but she follows Qiu'er curiously every day.

Li Xingzhou sighed, "There are three wives who are busy, and one of them is disobedient, which is so miserable."

Shiyu heard his sigh, and couldn't bear it. She put down the account book in her hand, and her beautiful cheeks flushed. "You think that's also the night, and you won't be allowed to be unfair."

He put his hand on Shiyu's waist, hugged her gently, and stopped moving. This is the small backyard building of Tingyulou, which is the office place. The information collected from various places is summarized here, so outsiders cannot enter.

As the weather gradually warmed after the spring breeze, the country of Jingguo was full of flowers and a prosperous scene. However, the Xia civil war was in full swing. Both sides sent envoys to Kaiyuan for help. Under his instructions, Honglu Temple spoke to people and ghosts, and both sides spoke good words, and both sides sold weapons at high prices. They could not only deal with the elimination equipment after changing clothes, but also make a lot of money.

The two sides fought even more vigorously, treating Jingguo as the side that can save them from water and fire, and sending envoys to please them from time to time.

This is the biggest fallacy of the upper class of Xia State. It is natural to rely on foreign power to consolidate its dominance when both sides still have common interests. He is willing to buy Jing State and sell it. When both sides do not share the interests or have conflicts of interest...

The monarch of Xia Kingdom is far from comparable to their two wise monarchs. The founding emperor of Xia Kingdom and his father, King Xia, were very visionary. They paved the way that Xia Kingdom would take for decades in the future. While responding smoothly, they were self-reliant and self-reliant and finally became emperor.

Nowadays, Li Ji is far from comparable to his ancestors. Xia Guo can't hold on to this short-sightedness. Let them fight for a few more years. Then, the new fleet will go north along the Great River and then the northwest can be settled.

This is Li Xingzhou's long-term plan.

...........

The biggest thing today is the reform of the new army. Restructuring is not simply a change of name, but a complete change of the situation of the army to exert the maximum combat effectiveness of the new weapon.

This matter requires coordination between the royal palace, the Ministry of War, the Privy Council, the Military Arts Supervisor, the Ministry of Personnel and other departments. There must be a lot of controversy and mutual ruling. Fortunately, the time, place and people are in harmony, which is what Li Xingzhou is like.

As a decisive nail on the crown prince board, his powers alternated, and many people were eager to please the new core of power. The matter of the new army was known to everyone, so everyone wanted to continue to please him, the new leader. Not to mention shirking the responsibility, it was too late to rush to do things, because the matter of accelerating the reform of the new army made the progress of the matter very quickly.

This is a good thing and a big thing, and it cannot be done overnight. The personnel have changed a lot and all aspects need to be coordinated. He has been busy with this matter these days.

In addition, the new rear-loading gun and rear-loading gun were officially issued by the Privy Council, and was officially named by Li Xingzhou, the Privy Council, as the Type 04 rifle and Type 04 field gun.

The original meaning is named after the chief designer Zhao Si, but if you always feel it is not easy to say, it is called Zero Four Style.

However, what was expected was that the new guns and cannons had a qualitative improvement, but because the new firearms were more refined in processing and better craftsmanship, the production was more difficult and the speed was much slower than that of old firearms, it was difficult to meet the new military equipment for a while.

This is like World War II propeller aircraft and modern jet stealth fighter jets. During World War II, propeller aircraft could be produced in hundreds of thousands, but to the modern era, the output of the best fighter aircraft is only hundreds. Has the combat effectiveness decreased? There must be no.

It is the new balance between mass and quantity.

This is the reason for the new generation of firearms and old firearms. In this way, it is necessary to make a choice, because the complete change of clothes may be next year, and the buffering will only last for about two years, and the training of the new army cannot be stopped.

So he ordered that the new Type 04 rifles were given priority to be equipped with four divisions of the New Army, while the new Type 04 rear-mounted artillery was given priority to be equipped with one division of the New Army Navy.

He and Di Zhi, Yan Shen, Wei Yubai, Cen Lin, Liu Ji and others discussed the matter carefully.

Finally, based on everyone's opinions, the new artillery was given priority to the first Navy Division, while the new rifle was given priority to the four Army Divisions.

After careful consideration and consideration of the opinions of various schools, for the Navy, after changing clothes and installing cannons, combat effectiveness is a qualitative leap.

The first flight was to improve the performance of the artillery itself, and the second was to loading methods. When the front-loaded artillery was fired on the ship, the gun had to be extended to the fire hole, and then used the firing recoil to return to the cabin and then refilled. The whole process was cumbersome and troublesome, and it would greatly affect the shooting accuracy of the artillery.

The sea is full of turbulent winds and waves, low shooting accuracy, and various restrictions on the front-loading guns, naval battles almost require the sidelines to be used to exert combat effectiveness.

After changing the equipment and installing the cannon, you can truly beat any sea ship. High-precision home rear-mounting can fully attack the opponent's ships at a distance of several miles. The sea is different from the land and infantry cannot pass. In this era, no ship can pose a threat to the ships in the royal palace between several miles and can only be beaten unilaterally.

Rifles are not very helpful for naval battles, and the enemy rarely has the chance to board the sideways within fifty meters.

However, when the army fights, local soldiers are dense, and rifles become the main firepower.

Therefore, the 04 rifle is given priority to be replaced from the Army, while the 04 gun is given priority to be equipped with the Navy.

According to the production speed after re-evaluation, it may take about three to four years to replace all the clothes. His estimate was too optimistic before.

But Li Xingzhou can wait, he is still young and has time.

With the emperor's approval and the Privy Council issued an order, the imperial war machine began to slowly operate...

In the Jiangzhou area, Li Xingzhou was the Privy Councilor and ordered Ningjiang Road, Guanbei Road, Taiyuan Prefecture and other places to start repairing official roads and slowly prepare the army's food.

The ship of the royal palace also followed the waterway and began to quietly buy grain from the south in the name of doing business and transport it to major camps in the north for storage.

The whole country is being slowly dispatched.

He was originally worried about whether he would act too much, which made the Jin Kingdom alert, but Wei Chaoren wrote a memorial saying that the Jin people were interested in crossing Shanhaiguan and entering Yanshan Prefecture.

Li Xingzhou asked him to defend the enemy, and at the same time he felt relieved. At the same time, he handed over all the military transfer powers from Ningjiang Prefecture to Guanbei to Yanshan Prefecture to Wei Chaoren. There was only one request, and he would not have to take the initiative to attack.

On the other side of Taihang Mountain, Yang Wenguang had contacted the Datong Prefecture area for activities. Since the Han people were the main body mixed with the Khitans and Qiang people, the leader was Mr. Xin. I don’t know the specific name, because in the enemy-occupied area, I must be careful at all times. Even if the informant here said that he was under Yang Wenguang, the other party was still careful and did not disclose his full name.

Li Xingzhou didn't care much about those things, and was very happy. He personally wrote a letter to Yang Wenguang, asking him to be careful when contacting the rebel army, so as to prevent kindness from harming others. At the same time, he wrote a letter to ask the emperor to add him.

The emperor was also very happy after hearing this and personally named him General Huaihua.

Many affairs are proceeding slowly, and the entire Jing Kingdom is slowly continuing its strength under the prosperity and prosperity of the country. It is only a few years later that it will defeat the strong enemy in the north and recover the northern regions and Liaodong areas that have been lost for hundreds of years.

...........

Things were already very good, and at night he had a happy mood with He Qian, who had just married into the royal palace. But the next morning, the genius was in a daze, and the roosters in the kitchen yard of the royal palace crowed, and Li Xingzhou was hurriedly woken up by the maid.
