"In the land of Yan and Zhao, there have been many generous and tragic people since ancient times!" Zhao Kuo sighed after receiving Mao Sui's letter, "According to Mao Sui's request, nineteen righteous people were made Lunhou, and one son would inherit the title. If
If there are no heirs, choose one person from the clan to inherit. Let Zhou Ye adapt the deeds of the Nineteen Martyrs into a story, publish it in a slanderous newspaper, and spread it throughout the world."
For a long time, the impression given to everyone by businessmen is that they are profit-seeking and do whatever it takes to achieve profits. The word "black-hearted" is often added in front of them.
Zhao Kuo really didn't expect these businessmen to be able to do this.
"I personally came to write the article." Lin Xiangru said solemnly. He is a person who values loyalty more important than life. However, he is much luckier than the Nineteenth Martyrs. Although he has experienced many setbacks, he has successfully overcome them.
He became the prime minister of a country and took charge of the world.
"The Prime Minister's writing couldn't be better," Zhao Kuo said.
After processing the memorial for a while, Zhao Kuo stood up and walked outside: "I'm going out for a walk."
Lin Xiangru nodded and did not get up to see him off. Zhao Kuo left, which meant that he had to work overtime again today and had no time to take care of these complicated etiquette.
Zhao Kuo obviously handled these government affairs faster than him, but he couldn't sit still for even half an hour and ran away, leaving everything to him.
Thinking about him as an old man who is nearly 70 years old, not only does he not have time to go home to take care of his grandchildren and enjoy his old age, but he also has to work overtime every day. It is really... hard to describe!
"Bring all the official documents here." Lin Xiangru raised his head and said to the guard next to him, then lowered his head again to review the official documents.
The snow in Handan has just stopped. Looking around, one can see a blanket of snow. Children Po Nu, Zhao Zheng and Meng Tian are having a snowball fight in the yard next to them. Several big yellow dogs are jumping around the children, very happy.
It brings a lot of life to the cold winter.
The weather this year has been very good. Although it snowed in most parts of Zhao State, except for the four counties of Mozhou, other areas did not suffer from snow disasters.
There is nothing that can be done about the four counties of Mozhou. The grasslands are affected by disasters almost every year, and the environment is far worse than that of the Central Plains. They will not change because of Zhao.
What Zhao Guo can do is to do all-out disaster relief, protect the lives of herdsmen, reduce property losses, and improve the building strength of houses and pastures to prevent future snow disasters.
Outside the palace, there were people sweeping snow at the door of every house, and even the snow on the streets had almost been cleared.
"Tofu~tofu!"
Small vendors have already come out with wheelbarrows to sell goods. No matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for making money.
After several women swept away the snow at the door, they carried the soybeans and walked to the wheelbarrow to exchange steaming tofu with the vendors. They then called back the children who were playing in the snow in the distance and asked them to take the tofu home.
Save it for lunch, and then walk towards the west of the city talking and laughing.
The Handan Dumpling Factory is built in the west of the city. Every winter, a large number of people are recruited to make dumplings. Not only can they get paid, but they can also take some dumplings home to cook for their children.
During the Chinese New Year, the government would transport the dumplings they made to all parts of the country and distribute them to local people.
This custom has been going on for several years and has never stopped.
Sometimes, on a whim, they would put clean copper coins in dumplings, the smallest denomination, representing their most sincere blessings, and give them to strangers far away.
This also shows that the living standards of Zhao people are improving. At least if it was before when they didn't even have enough to eat, no one would give money to strangers on a whim, even if it was just one or two yuan.
After wandering around the city for a while, Zhao Kuo came to the military camp outside the city.
The snow inside and outside the military camp has long been swept away, and there are shouts and shouts from inside. It is obvious that the soldiers are training, and it does not stop even if it snows.
"Your Majesty." The soldiers guarding the camp saluted quickly when they saw Zhao Kuo.
"Zhou Bin, right? You're good, you're energetic again." Zhao Kuo patted the soldier on the shoulder.
"Hey." Zhou Bin grinned and his chest puffed up. He was a little excited and didn't know what to say.
"How is your body recovering?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Thanks to the doctor invited by the king, my mother's illness has been cured. Now she can eat and drink. The doctor said she can live for at least twenty years." Zhou Bin said loudly.
"That's good, you stay here and stand guard while I go in and take a look." Zhao Kuo pointed to the military camp and said.
"No." Zhou Bin said loudly.
"Sir, the king really knows you. Your mother's illness turned out to be cured by someone sent by the king." After Zhao Kuo disappeared, the soldier looked at Zhou Bin excitedly.
In the past, Zhou Bin always boasted to them, saying that he knew the king, and that his mother was not in good health before, but the king sent people to bring his mother to Handan and asked a doctor to cure her.
They only thought that Zhou Bin was bragging, but after seeing the scene just now, they realized that he was not bragging, but was really bragging.
"Standing guard, please don't whisper to each other. If you have anything to say, we can wait until the end of guarding." Zhou Bin scolded, holding his head high and looking straight ahead, his body full of strength.
"Your Majesty!" Le Yi and Qin Kai saw Zhao Kuo approaching and quickly came over to salute.
"How is the training of the army?" Zhao Kuo said with a smile. The most capable soldiers in the Zhao Kingdom are Le Yi and Qin Kai. In the past, Le Yi was in charge of military training. After Qin Kai joined the Zhao Kingdom, the two were jointly responsible.
.
Le Yi and Qin Kai were partners in Yan State. They knew each other well and there was no problem in working together.
Although other generals can also train troops, there is still a big gap compared with Le Yi and Qin Kai.
Li Mu is considered the most capable of training troops among the younger generation, but since the Great Wall Army lost its military spirit, Li Mu gave up training and devoted himself to the Great Wall Army... However, judging from the current strength of the Great Wall Army, Li Mu not only did not suffer any loss,
On the contrary, he earned blood.
Another reason is that Le Yi and Qin Kai are getting older and older. Although their strength has given them a longer life span than ordinary people, they still cannot avoid the decline in energy, reflexes, and thinking ability as they age.
decline.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Compared with fighting on the front line, training troops in the rear and cultivating younger generations is more suitable for them.
Zhao Kuo did not want to hear the news that they died in battle one day in the future.
Now that Zhao's new generation has grown up, it's time for them to stand alone.
"There is only one actual battle left!" Qin Kai said proudly.
The group of heavy infantry in front of them, wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand and a heavy sword in the other, can be said to be a complete replica of the Xuanjia Army.
However, the load-bearing capacity of these ordinary heavy infantry is far inferior to that of the Xuanjia Army. The armor and large shield of the Xuanjia Army are made of genuine pure steel. For ordinary people to wear them, let alone fight, they can do it without being crushed.
Not bad.
The Xuanjia Army consists of thousands of strong men selected from all over the country. Without Lian Po's talent, they would not be able to withstand it.
However, after becoming the Army Soul Legion, this little weight could no longer stop them. It was only 300 kilograms, but they said they could add more.
The weight of these ordinary heavy infantrymen was only over a hundred kilograms, but even so, it was Qin Kai who initially used his talent to help them gradually adapt to their own weight and train slowly.
Of course, the effect is also very obvious.
One hundred thousand heavy infantrymen wearing heavy armor and holding large shields lined up on the battlefield. Zhao Kuo did not believe that any country in the Central Plains had the strength to resist.
Even if the six kingdoms of Qin, Chu, Qi, Han, Wei and Wei join forces, they cannot stop this torrent of steel.
This is because Zhao State's focus has always been on development. If it starts the explosion mode, it will not be 100,000.
The Art of War? What is the Art of War? What I want is to push it flatly.
Why do we need to do all the bells and whistles when problems that krypton gold can solve?
Rather than relying on clever calculations and ultimately relying on strategy to win, Zhao Kuo preferred the feeling of pulling the army to the battlefield and making the enemy desperate enough to surrender.
"The first talent is adaptation, which can adapt to one's own weight. Other talents such as cold, heat, fear, etc. also have certain resistance effects, but not much. The second talent is heavy armor strengthening, which once again improves the defense of the equipment on the basis of the original defense of the equipment.
"Qin Kai looked at the soldiers in front of him and felt a little sad.
When he led the troops to attack Ding Ling last year, he had a sense of Zhao's heritage. This year, when Zhao Kuo asked him to train 100,000 heavy infantry, he was completely shocked.
Who is a good man who can hire a hundred thousand heavy infantry?
In other countries, the number of heavy infantry units is thousands. If you have a few thousand units, you are considered powerful. How about one hundred thousand units?
Moreover, all of these 100,000 people possess inner energy, and many of them are in the Gangyuan realm.
In addition to the Zhao people selected from all over the country, the 100,000-strong army also included the Qiang people, Hu people, Jizi Koreans, etc. whom Zhao had wiped out in recent years.
In short, as long as you have the ability, you can be selected, no matter what your status is.
After the Zhao State wiped out the Hu people, they did not demote everyone as slaves and throw them away to build roads. Those with skills, those with internal Qi cultivation reaching the level of Qi training, or those under twenty years old with internal Qi, would
Granted household registration and resettlement to various parts of the country.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Zhao State alone to select so many soldiers with inner energy.
However, it is not completely impossible. The popularity of Qi in Zhao has been increasing year by year in recent years. As long as you have enough food and the body is not too depleted, it is possible to produce internal Qi. However, the older you are, the less likely it is.
"This is a truly elite soldier. The most important thing is that it can be mass-produced!" Zhao Kuo nodded with great satisfaction.
The Army Soul Legion may be powerful, but there is no way to mass-produce it. A country only has one or two of them, and if they are surrounded by several times this amount of heavy infantry, they will still die.
Although heavy infantry consumes money, as long as it produces energy, is money consumption a problem? Not at all.
As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
If it wasn't unnecessary, Zhao Kuo would have shouted: Another hundred thousand!
"By the way, I hope you all still remember the legion that Bai Qi created during the Battle of Rangcheng? It allowed the soldiers to blend into the earth and even breathe weakly underground." Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of a legion.
At the beginning, this legion also caused many casualties to Zhao Jun.
"I have an impression that the king wants to..." Le Yi looked at Zhao Kuo.
"Can you get one?" Zhao Kuo rubbed his hands.
"...This legion has great limitations. Generally, it is only useful for defense. It has no effect when attacking, because the soldiers cannot move underground and can only wait for the enemy to come over. Even for defense, it is limited by time.
It can only work if you know the time and place of the enemy's attack. If you know the time and place of the enemy's attack, it is not difficult to win even without this legion. On the contrary, if in this case,
Even with this legion, it will be difficult to change our destiny." Le Yi said.
If nothing else goes wrong, Zhao State will soon embark on the road of expansion, and there will not be many opportunities to defend.
There is no need to waste resources on such a place.
The heavy infantry in front of me is so good. Even if you emerge from the ground and attack me, see if you can attack me?
"If you can get one, just get one, just in case you can use it sometime. It won't cost much anyway," Zhao Kuo said.
"..." Le Yi.
Well, you are the king and you are right. It is not my money that is being spent anyway. You can do whatever you want.
That is to say, the king is Zhao Kuo. If another king dared to play like this, he would have made the world angry and people would complain.
"I'll do it." Qin Kai glanced at Le Yi and took over the job. Are you used to the good life and have you forgotten what it was like before?
When he attacked Donghu, what did King Yanzhao give him? A group of soldiers who had just put down their hoes, a bunch of broken guns, and nothing else. Even his grandma’s scouting work was done by me himself, so he killed Donghu forcefully.
I retreated two thousand miles.
Now I will give you whatever you want, and you are still picky. You are really in a state of blessing and don’t know how blessed you are.
If Yan State had such conditions back then, would it still have to unite with other countries to defeat Qi State?
"..." Le Yi.
"It's up to General Qin Kai." Zhao Kuo patted Qin Kai's shoulder solemnly, "Just now, the Taiwei said that this legion has a weakness and cannot move underground. Can General Qin Kai optimize this weakness by then?
For example, you can move on the ground, even if the speed is a little slower."
"..." Qin Kai really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, okay, why are you opening your mouth?
Also, Your Majesty, you treat me as a wishing tree, do whatever you want with me?
But it doesn't seem impossible.
"Let's try it in the end." Qin Kai said helplessly.
"There are also Qin's Iron Eagle Warriors and Guanzhong Army. Can they be copied?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"The Guanzhong Army can copy the Iron Eagle Rui... Although the attack power is very high, its fault tolerance is extremely low. If it is not the Army Soul Legion, its practicality is not as good as the Guanzhong Army." Le Yi said, as for the Army Soul Legion, it is not
It can be done if it is said to be done.
The Shesheng Battalion he built has not yet become a military soul army.
"Then we will train a Guanzhong Army first, and then we will compete with Qin to see who is the real Guanzhong Army." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, are you preparing to... start a war of unification?" Le Yi asked. Since last year, Zhao State has been continuously expanding its army. According to past experience, this is a precursor to launching a war.
"Wait for the news from the Western Regions." Zhao Kuo said, although he knew that the possibility of Meng Wu's defeat was unlikely, but to be on the safe side, it was better to wait.
I have been waiting for such a long time, and it is not short of a few months.
