In the central army's tent, everyone with their own thoughts said goodbye and left one by one, leaving only Wang Qiang and Li Fugui. As Yun Zhao's direct generals, they stayed to talk to Yun Zhao as appropriate. No one was surprised, nor would anyone stayed to be annoyed.

"Governor, is it a bit hasty to put Yao Changkun in such an important position? Although he is indeed talented, after all..." Although Wang Qiang was a little afraid, he still mustered up the courage to say for a while. He even had the word "sloppy" to describe Yun Zhao's appointment. "In fact, I think General Su Dingfang is more suitable."

Yun Zhao tilted his head and looked at the young general who was only eighteen years old. At this time, he was still a horse thief, but he was a general who had 20,000 people. It was said that he had created the speed of promotion from the Great Yue Dynasty, but this guy was the one who was right! He knew Wang Qiang very well for himself. Wang Qiang was also the general he focused on training. He had a good family background, was quick to react, and learned from one example. Yun Zhao believed that in time, he would definitely become the most powerful general under his command, in all aspects.

Yun Zhao was not angry about Wang Qiang's doubts, but was happy that a qualified general must first learn to weigh the benefits and to express his opinions to his boss at the right place and at the right time.

Seeing that Yun Zhao had no smile on his face, and even looked at Wang Qiang with a gloomy look, Li Fugui on the side quickly said, "Governor, General Wang is not intentionally contradicting and questioning, he is just a little worried."

Yun Zhao waved his hand, "I'm not unhappy. Li Mazi, you know how to be a human being. Are you actually thinking about the same thing in your heart?"

Li Fugui smiled embarrassedly, "Yes, Governor, I think so too, but I don't have the courage to question the Governor. Yao Changkun is different from me and Wang Qiang!"

Yun Zhao smiled slightly. "I was born into a horse bandit. I have been on the horse's back for several years. Although my subordinates kept rising, there were not many people who could really stand alone, especially those who you could absolutely trust, such as Xiao Yi. That guy chopped people on the horse's back and trained cavalry. He was a good player in leading cavalry. But if he was asked to be the commander, he would definitely be stubborn. Those who followed me would prosper, and those who went against me would perish. When ordinary people wanted to eat, they would catch them blindly. Hao Ren was not as good as him, but Mr. Jiang was so good.

But people who are almost seventy years old have been worried about me over the past few years. They are walking shaking. Can I let him come? If he falls to office, wouldn’t it be my fault? Ma Yigong is loyal and capable, but compared to Qin Yiliang Pu, it is obvious that Yizhou and Luzhou are more important to us. There is our base camp. I need him to build this base camp more firmly. The Su Dingfang you mentioned is too square, without Yao Changkun’s clever changes, and what I need is a person who can adapt."

He paused, looked at the two of them, and smiled and said, "What's more, although Yao Changkun took office as the commander of the four prefectures of Qin Yiliang and Pu, he has command of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but under his command, you two are you! Do I need to worry about anything?"

Both of them laughed.

"But you have to be clear!" Yun Zhao suddenly looked straight, "If you are under his command, you must obey orders. You must not rely on your relationship with me, and dare to give him a face, contradict him, or disobey him. If I know, don't say that I will transfer you to Gaoyang to train me without any politeness."

The two stood up solemnly, "Don't dare to disobey!"

"Sit down!" Yun Zhao nodded and smiled, "Relax, don't use anyone, don't doubt people, since I dare to use Yao Changkun, I'm sure there will be no accidents."

"Governor, I want to say that the two armies of Fugui and I want to support the four prefectures of Qin Yiliang Pu. Although there are more than 40,000 people, they are only a little over 10,000 to the four prefectures, and the troops are not sufficient. Moreover, General Yao said that he would use troops to the four prefectures of Yonglong Yanhe in two years. Two years later, I think the governor would not be able to draw troops from him. This involves the issue of military expansion. If nothing unexpected happens, this newly expanded army will become the direct troops of General Yao. This is not easy to control the size of the governor. What should I do at that time?"

"If Yao Changkun expands his army, you only need to stick to it, that is, no matter how much he expands his army, grassroots officers must be transferred from your army. If Yao Changkun is smart enough, he will also apply to transfer more middle and high-level officers from the Anqing border army."

"I understand!" Wang Qiang said: "Li Fugui and I are his right-hand men. He will inevitably seek our consent when expanding the army. At that time, we can use the excuse of forming combat power very early to transfer a large number of grassroots officers. If he has a different intention, he will definitely disagree. If this is the case, the governor will also make a decision!"

Yun Zhao glanced at him and smiled and said, "It's good to understand some things, you don't have to say them out. Wang Qiang, you are very smart, but remember, sometimes you don't need to be smart, and it doesn't necessarily mean you can be smart if you show off."

Wang Qiang blushed, "Thank you for your teachings!"

"Go and rest, I think Yao Changkun is in Li Fugui's tent at this time, waiting to see you!"

"So anxious?" Li Fugui smiled and said, "I want us to pay my respects, so he doesn't need to stay in my tent!"

"Li Mazi, I'm talking nonsense again. Now we are his left and right hands. If he doesn't handle us, how can he successfully realize the Haikou he boasted to the governor!" Wang Qiang poked Li Fugui, and the two bowed to Yun Zhao and retreated.

Within a few days, Ma You first led 500 carefully selected soldiers who knew the water from Shuntian Prefecture and drove to Boyang County. Then, Li Fugui, as the vanguard, drove to Qinzhou adjacent to Luzhou, and handed over to the four guards to Cheng Qun.

Ten days later, Yun Zhao led more than a thousand of his personal guards to Xingling, Yizhou, and sent a senior official from the North Governor's Office, led by Yao Changkun, Wang Qiang and Zhuo Yiming, ten miles away.

Xingling, a newly emerging city in the north, has become another important political center in the north. Yun Zhao did not set up his Northern Governor's Office in Yizhou, but was located in Xingling. This important prefecture in Yizhou, after several years of operation by the Anqing border army, has expanded its scale several times. Along the outer periphery of the original old city, several residential gathering areas are round and surrounded by the old city. The newly emerging cities have dozens of square kilometers in the area. In this new city, except for the original residents, most of them are

If the family members of the military and officials live, if the foreign population wants to enter this circle, they must go through extremely strict screening to obtain the right of residence. As an emerging political center, the commerce in the city is not developed. In addition to some restaurants and shops, there are some official workshops, and most of these workshops are related to military industry. The largest Fengrui Bing Workshop has moved its finished product production location from Guangchang to Xingling. Guangchang is now only used as a component production point, and the completed ordnance parts are transported to Xingling to complete the final assembly.

The military work workshop has completed a detailed division of labor. For example, Fengrui, it focuses on making offensive weapons. These offensive weapons are mainly long-range strike forces, such as bed crossbows, strong crossbows, thunderbolt cannons, thunderbolts, thunderbolts, thunderbolts and other powerful weapons. The only close-fitting weapon retained is Modao. However, due to the high requirements for the users of Modao, the output of Modao is not high. Other military workshops are classified into workshops with different functions such as sword spears, shields, armor and leather armor, military tents, etc.

The classified production not only increases the output of military ordnance, but also greatly improves the quality. Another function of classified production is to allow these workshops to avoid vicious competition between each other, so that these workshop owners will devote more attention to improving product quality. After all, in addition to Fengrui's monopoly nature, there are several competitions in each category. Yun Zhao has always won the bid for high-quality products in the procurement of military products. If he does not want to improve quality, he will be ruthlessly eliminated.

Another product classification is to improve the quality of Silian Steel. Guangchang Mine only provides iron, and refined steel must be smelted by the soldiers' workshops. After all, without good steel, it is difficult for you to create products that are better than others.

Military products have become Xingling's largest industry. This place not only provides Yun Zhao with all kinds of weapons, but also provides Yun Zhao with the best place to resettle soldiers injured and retired due to his age. The addition of these people not only allows Yun Zhao to better master these workshops that create killing weapons, but also improves the quality of the products from another side. Only soldiers who retreat from the battlefield know how good weapons help soldiers. What's more, once Xingling has something to do, these people can form an army with great combat effectiveness in the shortest time.

The original Xingling Old City became the location of the new Zhengbei Governor's Office. After receiving Yun Zhao's notice, Ma Yigong, who was staying in Xingling, immediately began to prepare for the establishment of the Zhengbei Governor's Office.

On the outside of this city, there are large areas of farmland communicating with the mountains and rivers. Unlike other places, between these farmlands, you can see the road with four access points. It is based on three-dimensional soil and is covered with gravel, and then the flat roads make Xingling extremely developed. No matter what the weather is, the roads here will not cause any obstacles to traffic.

The farmers here are basically composed of migrant mountain tribes. The mountain tribes who came down from the mountains can be divided into land, houses, and livestock, and their living standards have been greatly improved compared to the past. This makes them grateful to Yun Zhao. The poor and countless generations of mountain tribes cherish their hard-won happy life. They form the most solid barrier outside Xingling City.

Unlike all the political centers of Dayue, Xingling does not have a towering city wall. Firstly, it is because Yun Zhao does not have enough financial resources to build a majestic city comparable to Yizhou City. If it does not reach the level of Dayuezhou City, it is better not to build it, which will make it more grand. Secondly, Yun Zhao is now growing stronger and confident that no matter who it is, he will not be able to attack Xingling. Even if they fight Xingling, Xingling people can defeat all the invaders. People's hearts are walls!

On the eighth day of the eighth month, Yun Zhao set foot on the land of Xingling.
Chapter completed!
