Otherworldly Castle Era

The reason why Yang Song decided to rush to Naturalization City to accept that division's army the next day was because the distance between the two places was so far, it was useless to rush.

Secondly, it was because Yang Song knew that the appearance of this new standard division would definitely bring a full set of equipment and logistical supplies for a period of time, and they would not be hungry for a few days.

The next morning, the queen train departed early in the morning. After ten hours of driving, the queen train arrived at Shanhaiguan in the evening of the same day. This is also the northern terminal, and the rest can only be carried by horse-drawn carriages.

Speaking of horse-drawn carriages, since the emergence of steam engine technology in Xia Guozhi, Shen Kuo, who is in charge of the research institute, has studied the miniaturization of steam engines instead of horse-drawn carriages as the power source for horse-drawn carriages, but he has not succeeded.

Yang Song still remembers that when Shen Kuo reported to him that it was possible to miniaturize the steam engine, but either the power was insufficient and the fuel needed to be consumed too much, so that all the power of the steam car was used to carry its own fuel. Up.

Either the material is not good enough, the high-pressure steam boiler can theoretically operate, but there is not enough strong material for its high-pressure boiler.

If stainless steel is used to increase the thickness of the boiler, its volume and weight will be too huge, and it will become the head of a steam train again. It is better to use the existing steam train directly.

After Yang Song, who knew the development trend of science and technology, learned of Shen Kuo's research, although he did not stop the other party's research, he had little hope for him.

The other thing is that Yang Song wants to see if Shen Kuo can build a steampunk technology line on top of the steam engine. Of course, even if it can, Yang Song will not use it. He knows that the world also has oil. of.

So until now, except for steam trains, most of the other means of transportation are still horse-drawn carriages.

Yang Song, Li Jing and Liu Ji, and Yang Ren, who was in charge of logistical support, had a rest in Shanhaiguan for one night. They decided to go to the city of Guihua, ten kilometers away, the next morning. They didn't have to worry about getting here anyway.

That night, Yang Song was dealing with political affairs in the room. Although he had left Apocalypse City, he couldn't leave things behind.

Suddenly I heard a briefing from Jin Yiwei's commander Wang Wei: "King Qi, General Li and Jun Liu come to see you."

"Let the two of them come in." After Yang Song called Wang Wei to let them in, he was a little curious that Li Jing and Liu Ji came to see what happened to him.

After Li Jing and Liu Ji entered the door, they saw the ceremony and said: "The ministers wait to see the king!"

"Exemption." Yang Song asked the two dubiously, "Bowen, Pharmacist, what do you mean by coming here so late?"

"Xie Dawang." After the two men finished the ceremony, Liu Ji was the first to answer Yang Song's question: "Going back to the Dawang, the ministers are waiting to come to see the Dawang at this time. This is a matter under the control of the team."

Seeing Yang Song's picture of you continuing, Liu Ji continued: "Although the army currently has more than 200,000 troops, if you count the new divisions, the total strength has reached 300,000."

Yang Song secretly calculated it. Counting that he was waiting for him to accept a standard division at this time in Guihua City, and the 10,000 people in the navy, Xia Guo’s total force had really reached more than 290,000.

Just listen to Liu Ji continue to report: "With such a large number of troops, but his army has lost only a few divisions, and his commanding generals have fewer than ten generals, they are now stationed on the side. If it is..."

When Liu Ji was talking, he glanced at Yang Song, no longer hesitated, and said bluntly: "If these generals have two hearts, the king only has one guard to use. I'm afraid of accidents!"

After listening to Liu Ji's words, Yang Song's heart was suddenly struck by lightning. Only then did he realize that Xia Guo had such a huge potential hazard!

The Intelligence Department established by Xia Guo with Chen Ping and Yang Yi would definitely not be able to conceal Yang Song if something really happened, but if something hadn't happened yet, the Intelligence Department would not have the ability to know in advance.

The current number of troops owned by Xia State is counted as the Imperial Guard, with only five divisions, and the navy has only two fleets.

Although the total number is not small, the number of the army is somewhat small. As Liu Ji said, if the army is stationed outside for a long time, it will not be conducive to Yang Song's control over the army.

However, at the current stage, after occupying the vast land outside Shanhaiguan, Xia Guo had to keep his army stationed on the border for a long time.

In the past, Xia Guo had only one Shanhaiguan pass to the outside world on land, so even if the army needed to be stationed, several divisions took turns to come. The rest of the time was in the military camp at Tianqi City or Tianhouguan.

Therefore, except for the imperial guards, the rest of the army is now stationed, including the navy's fleet that is also patrolling the boundary river—the offshore line. This way, the army has been out of sight of the court for a long time, which is not conducive to Yang Song's control.

It is impossible not to send troops to the border, but this is always a problem for a long time.

When Yang Song was in a dilemma, he suddenly remembered the two people in front of him when he raised this question. He didn't believe that Li Jing, who had come to see him with Liu Ji, had no knowledge of the matter.

"Berwen, Pharmacist, you have already discovered this problem, so do you two have a solution?" Since the two of you have come to Yang Song, there must be a way.

"Lord Enlightenment." Regarding Yang Song's question, Liu Ji avoided Li Jing, and Li Jing replied with a fist: "The minister and the military division decided to adopt a rotation system after discussion."

"Rotation system?" Yang Song heard this word and thoughtfully, he frowned and ordered to Li Jing: "Go on, say it carefully!"

"Yes, King." Li Jing clasped his fists again to lead his orders: "The King once showed:'Iron fights the camp, the flowing soldiers', to make the soldiers flow, not owned by a certain army or general, only by the King and Xia Guo. Based on this, a military system was established."

Seeing Yang Song nodded, Li Jing continued to preach: "If the army's defense area is determined, the divisions will be stationed, the divisions will be rotated, or the generals will be recalled to the court, and the divisions and regiments will be responsible for their respective jurisdictions. The rule of the army."

Although Li Jing didn’t say much, it was detailed enough~www.novelmtl.com~ After Yang Song heard the two solutions mentioned by Li Jing, he looked at Liu Ji and asked: "Which one does Berwin think is better ?"

Seeing that Yang Song turned the problem back to him, Liu Ji replied: "Know the great king. The minister thinks it is better to rotate the generals of the divisions."

Without waiting for Yang Song to continue to question, Liu Ji explained: "If each division and its regiments are responsible for certain defense areas, although the army can be prevented from leaving the control of the court, if it encounters an enemy situation, it may be difficult for the regiments to respond in time, which will delay the fighters. ."

"The method of rotation of generals, um~" Liu Ji said this, pondered for a moment, and raised his head to report to Yang Songhui: "It is best to rotate with the chiefs of staff of the divisions to avoid too much personal affair between generals."

"Although it's a bit late, it's not too late!" Liu Ji said to himself in his heart.

After all, Di Qing and Lu Su, Huo Qubing and Liu Qi, Yan Ren and Wu Yi have been cooperating for some years. It is a lie to say that there is no friendship.

It’s just that Xia Guo is still in the stage of rising and expansion, and the time to come is still long. From now on, we have noticed the problem. It is a good thing that it can be solved one day earlier. If many things are solidified in the future, it will not be easy to change .
