He Tuizhi and Sima Lang were sitting in the living room of He Tuizi's house looking ugly. There were also some ministers sitting in the living room. These people were all one of the six ministers. Their faces were not good-looking either. They already knew that today
What happened? He Tuizhi and Sima Lang wanted to force the palace this time, but they didn't expect that the Immortal Emperor would push them back. That's why their faces were so ugly.
No one spoke for a while. Just when everyone was silent, He Tuizhi suddenly said: "Warrior Ying." Warrior Ying immediately stood up and said to He Tuizhi, "The general is here."
He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is the biggest in the entire Ministry of War. However, his ability can only be regarded as average. The only advantage of him being able to sit in the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War is that he is very obedient, so he can sit in the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War.
s position.
He Tuizhi looked at the warrior Ying, and then said: "After we return, we will integrate the army immediately. The army we control must undergo an integration and expansion. Otherwise, this kind of thing will not happen just once. I
We don’t want it to happen again, so we must have enough troops in our hands, can you do it?”
Samurai Ying said quickly: "Yes, I will definitely do it."
He Tuizhi nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Zhao Hai should report to the Ministry of War soon. You don't want to leave him idle and give him something to do, but these things must all be insignificant things.
Don't let him sit idle, but don't let him know too much about the Ministry of War."
Samurai Ying responded quickly, and He Tuizhi continued: "Remember, give him a warning and let him know that he is not the one who has the final say in the Ministry of War. In the Ministry of War, it is still us who have the final say." Samurai Ying
He responded once and for all.
He Tuizhi nodded, and Samurai Ying sat down. After Samurai Ying sat down, he opened his mouth and said: "This time, your Majesty went too fast and was too well prepared.
Give us time to react, and we don’t want chaos in the fairy world, so this time we give in, but this is also the last time we give in. I don’t want this to happen again. After you go back, you will all put your own
Wipe your butts clean and don't let others take advantage of you, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you next time." Everyone also responded.
He Tuizhi then said: "Your Majesty is getting tougher and tougher now. If it keeps going like this, sooner or later your Majesty will take back the power bit by bit. By then, do you think you can have any good fruits?
Yes? Your Majesty has said that if we are willing to hand over our power, Your Majesty will keep us safe, but you can just listen to this. You know better than anyone else what we have done in these years.
We have completely emptied His Majesty's power. Do you think His Majesty can hide this tone? Your Majesty cannot bear this tone. Then when we no longer have power in our hands and no strength enough to protect ourselves, then we will
It’s really over, do you understand?”
Everyone's expressions were startled, and then they all responded. He Tuizhi glanced at everyone, and then said: "This time, Your Majesty has the upper hand. We must do what we promised His Majesty, otherwise, Your Majesty will
He will not let us go, and by doing these things, His Majesty will think that we have surrendered, which will buy us more time to deal with our affairs. As long as our strength is strong enough, then we will not have to
I'm afraid of His Majesty's threat."
Everyone responded at once, and He Tuizhi continued: "Okay, let's go back." Everyone then stood up, saluted to He Tuizhi, and then turned around and walked out.
After they left, He Tuizhi turned to Sima Lang and said, "Right Prime Minister, what do you think we should do next?" He Tuizhi was still very fond of Sima Lang, and they were weak now.
If they can't find a way to protect themselves, they will be the unlucky ones.
Sima Lang said solemnly: "The most important things now are two things, one is soldiers, and the other is wealth. Prime Minister Zuo, you have asked the warrior Ying to organize the army. There should be no need to worry too much about soldiers, but about wealth.
On the other hand, we really have to think carefully before we go, after all, the military salaries for His Majesty's personal troops will also come from the national treasury."
He Tuizhi nodded and said: "This is to the point. If we want to train new recruits, it will indeed require a lot of money. Well, I think we can add some taxes to increase the revenue of the national treasury.
There will be more, and then we will have money to train troops."
Sima Lang nodded and said: "Now the tax rate here in our fairy world is one for ten taxes. We will change it to one for eight in the future, so that the treasury will have money."
He Tuizhi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's do it like this. We will bring it up at the next court meeting. Didn't His Majesty ask us to help him raise troops? After adding the 20% tax, it is enough to raise troops."
After saying that, the two looked at each other, and then laughed. They were both very proud. Although they would have to raise more soldiers in the future, their income had also increased, which was definitely a good thing for them.
Son.
In the following two days, the fairy world has been very quiet. Only a few cities around the Da'an Forest were not very quiet. All the city gods in those cities were transferred. Of course, new city gods were also transferred.
Over here, several cities changed their city gods at the same time. This incident caused quite a stir.
In addition to changing the city god, the news that the Gufeng Mountain Military Camp has begun recruiting troops has also spread in these cities. Everyone knows that the Gufeng Mountain Military Camp is going to recruit troops to deal with the demon clan. This has caused people in the surrounding cities to have
Some people are panicking. You must know that the demon clan has not attacked them for many years, and now it suddenly wants to attack them. It's strange that they don't panic.
But similarly, some people regard this recruitment as an opportunity. Here in the fairy world, there are still countless people who want to become monks, but they usually have no way. Now the Gufeng Mountain Military Camp is recruiting soldiers. This is a way.
Because of the lack of connections, many young people are starting to get ready to take action.
But soon the news came out. It turned out that the purpose of recruiting soldiers at the Gufeng Mountain Military Camp was to reorganize the Da'an Army. The soldiers they recruited this time were mainly the original city defense troops in each city. These city defense troops had received military training.
training, so they were recruited into the Da'an Army. However, the new city gods in each city were really recruiting soldiers, and they were recruiting civilians. This made those civilians even happier. They thought that they would be able to become soldiers.
They joined the very dangerous Da'an Army, but they didn't expect that they would just become the city defense army. This is good news for them.
Of course, these people cannot know that this is actually a method. The new city gods did not take over a city as blank as Nan'an City, and the people they used were all their own people. They could
They were not so lucky. Although the city god had been transferred from the city they took over, the other officials in the city had not been transferred. He had to fight wits and courage with those officials.
If the officials in the city still have military power, then even if they become the city god, they will only be ignored and will not have much power. Therefore, they will just learn from Nan'an City.
Let the people of the Blood Killer Sect transfer all the original troops in their city to the Da'an Army. He is recruiting new troops. These newly recruited soldiers will naturally listen to them. In this way, they will
Now that they have military power, they will have more confidence to fight against the officials in the city. This is why they transferred the city defense army to the Da'an Army Corps.
No one in the court said anything about such changes around the Da'an Forest. Now the people in the court have bigger things to deal with, which is the matter of Zhao Hai becoming the Minister of War.
The Immortal Emperor has sent two assistants to Zhao Hai. Both of them are from the Hussars. One is named Meng Jiao and the other is named Zhan Da. Both of them look to be in their thirties and are not tall.
, you can’t tell how strong it is, but standing there, it’s like a javelin.
Zhao Hai saw these two people at Wei Xiaode's place. Both of them saluted Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai returned the salute. Then Wei Xiaode said to Zhao Hai: "The two of them will be your assistants from now on. They
Two of them, one is appointed as a doctor in the Qingshi Division of the Arsenal, and the other is a member of the Yuanwailang. With them helping you, you should be able to get started faster at the Ministry of War."
Zhao Hai responded quickly, and Wei Xiaode nodded and said: "Okay, then you can lead them to take office tomorrow."
Zhao Hai responded, and Wei Xiaode looked at Zhao Hai and said: "I heard that the Ministry of War is going to give you a slap on the wrist this time, so when you go to take office tomorrow, you must be more careful. Of course, you don't want to be tough. Now the Ministry of War
People like you should not dare to stand up to you."
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Yes, father-in-law, I finally understand."
Wei Xiaode nodded and said: "You are now the minister of the Ministry of War, so you might as well show some prestige. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to move forward in the Ministry of War. Go ahead." Zhao Hai responded and then went to Wei Xiaode.
After bowing, he exited Wei Xiaode's room and left the Immortal Palace.
After Zhao Hai left, Wei Xiaode turned to Meng Jiao and Zhan Da and said: "Zhao Hai has never held such a position before, so you must help him in this matter, and I also told him
Yes, he will not care about anything at the Ministry of War. If anything happens in the future, it will be all handled by you. Remember, no matter what happens at the Ministry of War, you must report it immediately. Do you understand?
Already?"
The two of them said in unison: "Yes, father-in-law, we understand." The two of them came from the Hussar Guards. The Hussar Guards were Liu Zhong's force. Wei Xiaode was originally unable to intervene, but these two people were
The Immortal Emperor transferred him here, which means that these two people are completely loyal to the Immortal Emperor. Naturally, Wei Xiaode would not say anything, so he just told them what to do with these two people.
As for how far they can achieve it, that is beyond Wei Xiaode's control.
This does not mean that Wei Xiaode has any dissatisfaction with the Immortal Emperor, but that these two people were sent by the Immortal Emperor, which means that these two people have the power to directly report to the Immortal Emperor. Their real
Jurisdiction is also in the hands of the Immortal Emperor, so Wei Xiaode cannot control it too much.
