After the Nanjing Conference, many people newly joined the Chinese Army and learned about the Seven Pillars Kingdom for the first time.

However, since Wan Jun is determined not to be the emperor, there is nothing wrong for everyone to let the Seven Pillar Kingdom hold the supreme power of the empire. As long as they secure their status as the founding hero and have access to the supreme power, it is a rare thing.

opportunity.

In China, emperors take turns. If the Yang family sings and the Li family sings, now there are six more little emperors, not to mention that sooner or later, the Seven Pillar Kingdom will be the head of state one day.

Under the excited gaze of everyone, Zhao Boyuan continued to read.

"Wan Jun is the first head of state of the Great Chinese Empire, Zhao Boyuan is the Zhuguo and deputy head of state, Zhang Sheng is the Zhuguo, Zhang Wuyang is the Zhuguo, Chen Xinmin is the Zhuguo, Liu Tichun is the Zhuguo, and Wen Anzhi is the Zhuguo."

At the beginning, Wan Jun relied on the help of Zhao Boyuan and Zhang Sheng in the bandit village of Laolong Mountain to capture the entire village and establish the earliest six teams of the Chinese Army.

Zhang Wuyang and Chen Xinmin led the army on their own. Not only did they have great military exploits, they were also veterans who joined the Chinese army in the early days.

Liu Tichun and Wen Anzhi were the ones who considered appeasement and balance for Wanjun. The composition of the Chinese army was diverse, including the Great Shun surrendering troops and generals, the Ming Dynasty surrendering troops and generals, and Daxi surrendering troops and generals. Liu Tichun and Wen Anzhi became the pillars of the country.

It can make the Dashun sect and the Daming sect have no distinction.

As for the surrender of troops and generals in Daxi, firstly, the military strength was too weak compared to today's Chinese army, and secondly, the period of surrender was too short.

After the Seven Pillar Kingdom, Zhao Boyuan announced new appointments, "Zhao Boyuan is in charge of the Ministry of National Security, Zhang Sheng is in charge of the Jiuzhou Intelligence Department, Wen An is in charge of the Ministry of Finance, Liu Tichun is in charge of the Supervision Department, Cui Ziyi is in charge of the General Staff Department, Yuan Jixian is in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Xie Xiaoni is in charge

The Ministry of National Trade, Li Youtian is in charge of the Political Propaganda Department.”

Wan Jun combined the memories of another timeline to construct the highest authority of the Great Chinese Empire, seven pillars and eight divisions.

The state affairs were agreed upon and everyone announced their inauguration.

Wan Jun said, "The Battle of Southwest was a great victory. Li Laiheng defeated Sha Dingzhou with 10,000 men with 300,000 men. It is gratifying and congratulatory. Come and tell our generals about their command experience."

Amid the praises of the crowd, Li Laiheng stood up and said, "The head of state has made false praises. Everyone, this is nothing. The main reason is to ambush him unprepared and then break their morale and fighting spirit."

Zhang Wuyang said, "Why should Laiheng be so modest? Tell me how you used to break up their fighting spirit."

Li Laiheng said embarrassedly, "Actually, it's just a fight to win lives. I ordered the musketeers to come forward in a dense formation. They approached 30 steps in front of the enemy's formation and fired. The muskets fired a volley and the enemies fell in pieces. This was a huge blow to the enemy's morale."

It’s a huge blow to morale.”

This way of fighting is not just exchanging lives for lives. Everyone was so shocked that they took a breath of cold air. Zhang Wuyang said, "I also want to tell you about your new fighting method."

Li Laiheng said, "I think if we can add a foot-long white blade in front of the musket, then three or five rows of musketeers can approach the enemy formation and shoot. After the fire strikes, they can still take advantage of the situation to charge forward."

When Wan Jun heard this, he secretly thought, Damn it, this is not the legendary queuing and shooting! Queuing and shooting is also called "line tactics". In the 18th century, the British used this tactic to fight all over the world.

Chen Xinmin said, "Such a fighting style is unheard of. They line up in a dense formation and shoot at close range. The barbarians are eager to get closer. What if the Eight Banners soldiers charge up?"

Li Laiheng said, "There is a white blade in front of the musket, which is used for close combat.

So there are cavalry to suppress the formation and protect the two wings."

Wan Jun said, "Your idea is very good. If there is a bayonet on the front of the gun, you can eliminate the pikemen and increase the firepower of the troops. That's it."

Zhang Wuyang stood up and said, "A lot of money was seized in the Southwest Campaign, including 500,000 taels of gold, 15 million taels of silver, 20 million stones of grain and grass, and countless various types of jewelry and supplies."

Wan Jun said with a smile, "It's easy to do things with money. We have discussed how to use this money in the past few days. Bo Yuan, please read it to everyone."

Zhao Boyuan said, "Allocate 5 million taels of silver to establish 24 elite new armies, each with 10,000 people, totaling 240,000. They will have ten regiments, with 120 two-wheeled vehicles, and 100 artillery carriages."

Twenty, sixty grain carts, three hundred in total. Sixteen cannons, eighty cannons, eight hundred muskets, one hundred grenadiers, and one hundred gunners."

"Appropriate two hundred thousand taels of silver to establish the Huaxia Continental Army Academy, and make the teaching team the first batch of military academy instructors."

"Appropriate five million taels of silver, change the food stamps of the supply system into imperial banknotes, use gold as the standard of the imperial currency, and silver coins as the supplementary currency, and achieve free exchange between banknotes and gold and silver currencies within two years."

"With one million taels of silver, the Ministry of Agriculture promotes new crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes."

Wan Jun said, "For thousands of years, we have been following the old path, one dynasty after another. Now it is time to wake up. Our enemy is not in the northeast, but in the west!"

In the entire Chinese army, only Cui Ziyi has been with Wan Jun for the longest time and has the deepest understanding of what Wan Jun said. The Europeans' tentacles have extended to East Asia. In another timeline, the overlords of East Asia have become the target of bullying by the great powers.

Thirty years before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Germany in Europe had begun to promote compulsory education. The gap was emerging, but it was still too late. Wan Jun said, "In addition, two million taels of silver will be allocated to the China First Academy of Sciences.

Three million taels of silver to abolish the imperial examination and promote compulsory education."

In the venue, whether they were the generals of the Chinese army or the surrendered generals of Dashun and Daxi, there were very few people who took the imperial examination seriously. Although Zhao Boyuan was a student aid, he was extremely tired of the stereotyped selection of scholars.

Only Yuan Jixian and other Ming Dynasty ministers who surrendered were mostly winners of the Eight-part Imperial Examination. Shang Zhao said in his heart, "The head of state should be careful. Recruiting scholars through open subjects is a system that has been passed down for thousands of years. If you want to rule the world and claim to be an orthodox dynasty, you can only get scholars through open subjects."

, the Hu people announced to the world the opening of imperial examinations the year before last, how could the head of state abolish the imperial examinations now? Wouldn't it mean that all the scholars in the world would like Hu Qing?"

Wan Jun knew that abolishing the imperial examination would have great impact, so he thought about it again and again before bringing it up. When Shang Zhaoxin said this, he asked, "Who else thinks so?"

Yuan Jixian, He Tengjiao, Du Yinxi and other surrendered ministers of the Ming Dynasty stood up together and bowed to the soldiers, "Please be careful, head of state. The barbarians are invading China and must not chill the hearts of the scholars in the world."

Although the other generals of the Chinese Army were puzzled, they did not question Wan Jun's actions. Wan Jun said, "A few years ago in Shangluo Mountain, I had a conversation with Li Zicheng, and I mentioned why the Dashun Army only stayed in Beijing.

Return to Shaanxi in forty days."

When he was in Xiaoyi Town, Li Zicheng came to see Wang Lihui and had a conversation with Wan Jun. However, many of the Shunjun present did not know this. Wan Jun continued, "Li Zicheng did not collect food for three years, and the people were able to recuperate, but there was no

How can we support an army with money and food? The people are extremely poor and Emperor Chongzhen’s dragon robe is even sewn with patches. Where has all the money and food in the world gone?”

"Li Zi

Cheng found money and food, and it was all in the hands of the scholars. They found 70 million taels in half a month, but the scholars wanted money rather than their lives. In the end, Li Zicheng was quickly defeated, Wu Sangui surrendered, and the whole Zhili surrendered. Everyone could

Guess what happened."

The surrendered generals of the Shun Army who were present had never been able to figure it out. When Wan Jun said this, the confusion in their hearts was suddenly broken. It turned out that it was those thieves who betrayed Dashun.

Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Li Laiheng, the surrendered generals of Dashun, all said together, "The head of state is very wrong to abolish the imperial examination. These book thieves are all bad people."

Du Yinxi said, "There is so much morale in the world. Some people love money as much as their lives, while others destroy their families to relieve hardship."

Wan Jun said, "Yes, so some scholars are in the palace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and some are sitting in the conference hall of the Great China Empire."

Zhao Boyuan said, "I think before there was no imperial examination, the Han Dynasty was still very powerful. We might as well abolish it. After a few decades, everyone will get used to the lack of imperial examination, and there won't be so much to say."

Wan Jun said, "Yes, the imperial examination will be abolished and all seven-year-old children will receive compulsory education. After two years, the smart ones can enter the Academy of Sciences to continue their education. Others can also understand the national regulations. Isn't this the way to enrich the people and strengthen the country?"

Yuan Jixian said, "The people can follow it, but they cannot know it. If the people can understand the state regulations, wouldn't they be able to point out and talk nonsense about state affairs, how can the world be peaceful?"

He Tengjiao followed and said, "There are so many scholars in the world. If we abolish the opening of colleges to recruit scholars, wouldn't it mean that the only way out is to surrender to thieves?"

Wan Jun said, "You are all scholars. How can you say that scholars can only surrender to thieves? The world is in ruins and waiting for prosperity. We, the Chinese Army, welcome you with open arms. As for the people to give advice on national affairs."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "I stand on the side of the people!"

After leaving the Chengtian Hall hall, Cui Ziyi walked to Yuan Jixian and others and said, "My lords, do you have something you don't know whether to say or not?"

Yuan Jixian said, "Cui Dao just said it doesn't matter."

Cui Ziyi said, "Suppose a person suddenly knows that someone will come to kill him when he is sleeping, so he gets up in the middle of the night to sharpen his knife. What do you think his wife and children think of him?"

He Tengjiao said, "It's ridiculous. How can his dream be taken seriously? Isn't it ridiculous?"

Yuan Jixian said, "In the eyes of his wife and children, he is probably crazy if he sharpens his knife in the middle of the night."

Cui Ziyi said, "What if at dawn, someone really comes to kill him, but he sharpens his knife and defeats him?"

Yuan Jixian asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Cui Ziyi said, "Four years ago, in the Shangluo Mountains, there were only a few thousand of us. The head of state took us to brave the heavy snow to set up an ambush in Xiaoyi Town, and relied on the favorable location to block Li Zicheng and more than 100,000 Qing soldiers."

Cui Ziyi stopped, looked at Yuan Jixian and He Tengjiao and said, "The key is that when the ambush was set, Li Zicheng was still in Xi'an, before the defeat of Tongguan."

He Tengjiao was surprised and said, "If there is such a strange thing, wouldn't it be a foretelling of the unknown?"

Cui Ziyi thought of what Wan Jun told him on the last night of the battle at Prince Qin's Mansion, about the strange remarks about time travel, "A sage knows the subtleties, but there are many things we cannot understand."

Yuan Jixian said, "You mean, we are like the wives and children of someone who sharpens a knife in the middle of the night?"
