"Ten millions of troops? I don't need so many main forces to conquer foreign countries."

"But the army of Fusang and Jin Kingdom combined..."

"It doesn't matter. For me, the main function of the army is to clean up the battlefield, suppress resistance, maintain rule, and other things... I will take action."

“…………”

Zhou Rou looked at Zhao Yinshun dumbly, her mind was in a mess.

Isn’t the main function of the army combat?

What you are talking about... is more like the job of a militia constable...

"So, the dumpling skin is fine. I only need elite troops who can fill the front line, a northern battlefield... two million are almost enough..."

Speaking of this, the boy in white pursed his lips in distress.

"I am more worried about the post-war rule than the war, and we have too few officials."

Not to mention external expansion, the current gap in officials in Luzhou is an astronomical figure.

The original ruling group was killed by him, almost completely destroying the lower bureaucratic structure. The advantage was that a piece of white paper could be painted at will, and the disadvantage was that a huge power vacuum appeared, which caused various chaos.

And he was unwilling to support comprador puppets and rule like those of the colonists of Taisie.

Since you swallowed it, you must thoroughly digest it, change customs and return to Han territory forever!

Nodding thoughtfully, Zhao Yinshun patted Zhou Rou on the shoulder and ordered solemnly.

"Bureau training schools need to continue to expand. What we lack now is not combat capabilities, but digestive capabilities after the territory is built!"

"I can dominate the war, but I can't become a billionaire to manage every county, every town, or even every village..."

"I can sweep the world by myself, but I can't control the world by myself. I still have to rely on you in this regard."

Hearing Zhao Yinshun's earnest expectations, Zhou Rou's heart instantly felt a lofty sense of mission and nodded firmly and resolutely.

"In one year, I will definitely train enough grassroots cadres!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yinshun smiled with relief: "I'll leave the family matter to you."

"Ah? You are leaving Luzhou?"

Suddenly, he could hear the subtext in Zhao Yinshun's words, and Zhou Rou felt a little reluctant.

"Well, the undercover agents in the court are getting more and more amazing. I'm going to go back to Beijing recently. If you have any questions, you can go to Yani. I will come back if necessary."

After giving instructed the miscellaneous matters in internal affairs, Zhao Yinshun turned his attention to the confidant general standing not far away.

"Tang Hongda, how is the military reform going forward?"

"I'm still sorting out my head, and it's expected that it may take several months..."

Tang Hongda agreed with his fists and replied in panic.

"Well, speed up the progress. The military system of the old era is no longer suitable for the current large-scale combat mode."

In ancient times, the population size and productivity were considered a big army that was despicable. Now, Luzhou's military power alone exceeded 10 million. Although it was suspected of being a powerful soldier, it would be easy to maintain a standing army of 50 to 60 million under normal circumstances.

As the army expanded, the organization was chaotic, and the old command system with chaotic titles became increasingly bloated, seriously dragging down combat efficiency.

So Zhao Yinshun simply referred to his previous life experience and ordered Tang Hongda to create an extraordinary version of the modern military system.

Delete the messy generals, clarify the basic organization of squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, and divisions, and strictly regulate the military rank system...

However, this kind of military reform was not his original name. I heard that similar reforms began more than ten years ago.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yinshun couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

Damin, I'm too behind in all aspects!

Thoughts flowed, the boy's dark and deep pupils moved to the west, and he vaguely saw a decayed and chaotic death aura shrouded the heart of the empire.

"I am already strong, but if I am strong, I will change."

……………………………………………………………………

"The famous general of the master Mo Zizhuo, thousands of troops avoid white robes~~"

Walking on the streets of the Damin Imperial Capital, a distant nursery rhyme came to my ears, and Sato Hirohito's kindness, complacent and fulfilling, disappeared.

When he thought of the "white robe" in the nursery rhyme, a heavy sense of oppression enveloped his heart, making him unable to help but want to take a deep breath.

Damin [Duke Zhenguo]... The biggest obstacle to the prosperity of the imperial country...

I have to find a way to get rid of him!

After shook his head and threw the heavy pressure behind his head, Sato Hirohito cheered up and quickly came to Honglu Temple surrounded by his followers.

"Brother Sato!"

A strong man with a rat tail hanging from behind his head was greeted with enthusiasm, and his joy was beyond words.

"Brother Guargatu."

Sato Hirohito smiled reservedly, and the two walked into Honglu Temple hand in hand, looking relaxed and skillful as if they were the masters here.

Inside the Honglu Temple, the real owner of this office's office's vision penetrated the obstacles, watching the two of them walk into the negotiation hall with their arrogant eyes, frowning tightly together.

Originally, he, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, should have participated in the negotiations throughout the process, but he really couldn't stand the rampant success of the villain opposite him and the servitude of the court participants, and he never participated again after a few times.

However, although he himself did not participate in the negotiations, he monitored the every move of both sides throughout the process.

One morning passed, Ren Zhi, who was "attending" the negotiations, bulging blue veins in his temples. No matter how good the qi cultivation skills are, it is difficult to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Ren Hua."

"Father."

The chief clerk of the Honglu Temple flashed and appeared in front of Ren Zhi, bowing respectfully.

"Go to report to the eldest princess, the Jin Kingdom and the Fusang Kingdom [Emperor] put forward new conditions..."

Hearing his father's whisper, Renhua's eyes were filled with anger and nodded with gritted teeth.

"I'll go find His Highness the Princess now."

Seeing his son turning around and leaving without any delay, Ren Zhi brewed a cup of tea for himself, but he held the tea cup blankly until the hot tea became cold and his eyes were out of focus and looked at the sky outside the window.

I don't know that it took too long, but he raised the teacup in his hand and threw it hard on the ground.

"How come my vast Heavenly Dynasty has become like this ghost!!"

Table Tennis ~

The best porcelain exploded on the ground, accompanied by the clear sound of shattering, and an excited shout came from outside the door.

"Father! Father!"

Hu~ Hu~

Take a deep breath, Ren Zhi calmed down his emotions and whispered calmly.

"How many times have we told you that our officials of the Honglu Temple want Mount Tai to collapse before us without changing their expression. We represent the face of the empire!"

Before he finished speaking, his son Ren Hua rushed into the room, so excited that he danced and speechless.

Seeing his son who had always been mature and steady, Ren Zhi's eyes moved and his breathing gradually became heavier.

"What the hell is it?"

"Wu...isn't it, [Duke Zhenguo], [Duke Zhenguo] has returned to Beijing!"

“??!!”

With wide eyes, Ren Zhi's slightly bent spine suddenly straightened up, and he stretched out his hand to grab his son's shoulder tremblingly.

"[Duke Zhenguo] has returned to Beijing? Are you sure?"

"Well, the eldest princess said in person, he will come to Honglu Temple in the afternoon!"

"【Duke Zhenguo] wants to participate in the negotiations?! But the court..."

After a pause, Ren Zhi suddenly realized that with the free-spirited character of [Duke Zhenguo], what would he care about the court's attitude?

I'm afraid [Emperor] doesn't speak well!

The corners of his solemn and tired mouth slowly rose uncontrollably. Ren Zhi only felt a breath of anger in his chest gradually dissipated, his bones all over his body hardened, and his heart felt refreshed.

"Quick! Go and prepare for the afternoon negotiations, and I will participate in it myself for my father!"

"Hahahaha, I can't wait to see the expressions of the two barbarians seeing the [Duke Zhenguo]!"

………………………………………

After drinking and having a drink with senior official Damin who participated in the negotiations, the two sides exchanged affectionate feelings. Sato Hiroin and others, who were full of wine, returned to Honglu Temple and suddenly found that the atmosphere had some subtle changes.

The resentful and dissatisfied Honglu Temple Minister took the chief clerk to the negotiating table, and each of them smiled and nodded at them with a cup of fragrant tea.

Looking at the smiling eyes, Hirohito Sato felt a chill inexplicably cold in his vest, and he vaguely felt that the two people looked at him as if they were looking at a monkey.

Wasn't he so angry that he withdrew from the negotiations?

Why did your attitude suddenly change again?
To be continued...
