Become a feudal king from today

"This is yours." Zhao Xu gave Xu Lie a look.

Like Liu Fu and Yang He, he also gave Chang Wei and Yang Feng a booklet.

The above is what he said about the in-depth reforms.

After all, the short period of time between now and the launch of the steamship is a rare window period, which is very suitable for reform.

He wanted to make a big move before, but it was inconvenient because of the war.

This time, in addition to the changes in general position titles, the book also requires Yang Feng and Chang Wei to form a staff department.

Its main tasks are to give instructions to generals, collect and provide battlefield intelligence, and be in charge of the replacement of military equipment in peacetime, as well as military training and management.

In the contemporary Napoleonic period, the General Staff appeared, whose responsibilities were equivalent to those of a military advisor and were responsible for providing operational advice to the generals.

The most important thing is that this is a formalized construction of the army.

The modern army's victory over the feudal army lies not only in firearms, but also in excellent military systems.

The court meeting started in the morning and lasted until noon.

After discussing many details and matters needing attention with the officials and generals, Zhao Xu asked everyone to disperse.

Out of the palace.

Chang Wei asked Liu Fu mysteriously, "I heard that His Highness is getting married? Is he the granddaughter of Duke Yi?"

"That's what happened. Your Highness has devoted all his energy to Yanzhou. He has not yet gotten married at the age of twenty. The other princes are all married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Now His Highness finally meets his beloved. It really relieves a lot of worries for us." Liu Fu crossed his arms and smiled.

Chang Wei nodded, "Indeed, but it's a pity that I came back a step late..."

Hearing this, Liu Fu looked at Chang Wei, who looked serious, and suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, "You don't want your daughter to marry His Highness, do you? I remember that your daughter is less than ten years old this year."

"So what, you can be a child bride." Chang Wei glanced sideways at Liu Fu.

"Hahaha..." Liu Fu couldn't help laughing, "Come on, your daughter looks 80% similar to you. She really married His Highness, and His Highness got up in the middle of the night and thought she slept with you."

"You have a bad tongue, I have to beat you up today." Hearing this, Chang Wei jumped up and cursed, rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat you.

Liu Fu took three steps and two steps together, but he reached Yang Feng's side and gave Chang Wei a provocative look.

It means that if he dares to take action, he will tell his words to Duke Yi.

Seeing this, Chang Wei had no choice but to stop angrily.

He didn't want to mess with the veteran.

Furthermore, it was a pity that he did not have a daughter as well-educated, talented and beautiful as Yang Zhen.

Otherwise, he would really have to fight.

Returned to the General's Mansion in Beidaying.

He and Yang Feng were flipping through the booklet given to them by King Yan, preparing to reorganize the royal army.

On the one hand, he gave orders to Qin Shan and Guantong in Yangcheng, asking them to lead their troops to Xiangcheng and wipe out the powerful clans in Jiangbei.

Jingzhou is the thoroughfare of Jiuzhou, adjacent to Bozhou.

Starting from Yangcheng, Qinshan and Guantong only need to cross Bozhou to reach Jingzhou, a distance of only more than 300 miles.

After five days of trekking, Qinshan and Guantong arrived with more than 80,000 troops.

Originally, their fifteen-strong army crossed the river, and Lu Chang took away 30,000 and left 30,000 in Yangcheng.

From Qizhou to Yangcheng, some more soldiers were killed or injured.

They can only take away this amount.

…

Jingzhou.

Xiangcheng.

Another royal army came from the east, and the news reached Xiangcheng immediately.

royal palace.

After a brief hesitation, Dou Wei said to Dou Mu: "Your Majesty, the three powerful families have crossed the river and are now confronting King Yan across Jiujiang. This allows King Yan to spare most of his troops and concentrate on dealing with me, Nanliang."

Dou Mu's face turned pale. During this period, the situation took a turn for the worse and he could not sleep well at night.

Xiao Cheng returned to Xiangcheng from Qizhou, and Ma Han's troops retreated north and returned to Wuguan.

But if Xiao Cheng's army and Beidi's cavalry showed signs of leaving, they would come back.

The Nanliang army and the Beidi cavalry were always unable to move.

This prevented them from providing support to the other three powerful families.

Now, they in Nanliang are afraid of being accused of treachery again.

The Xie family and other powerful families will never trust them again.

Therefore, they will definitely not help Nanliang in its current crisis.

"The three powerful families are not the opponents of King Yan. I am afraid that our southern Liang will not be able to support the isolated tree. If the Ma family's soldiers and horses and the army of King Yan coming from the east attack from the east and the north, I am afraid that the fall of Xiangcheng is just around the corner. ." Dou Mu looked depressed.

This period of time was enough for them to see the power of the Ma family's soldiers.

The firearms used by these Ma family soldiers have a long range and are very powerful.

Their soldiers fought with them simply to die.

After the Beidi cavalry returned to Xiangcheng, they tried to encircle and suppress the Ma family army.

But after encountering the opponent's hollow phalanx and leaving thousands of corpses behind, they no longer dared to attack rashly.

According to the reaction of the Beidi cavalry, they were 200 meters away, and the Ma family soldiers and horses could shoot their cavalry.

And the opponent's bullets are as accurate as bows and arrows.

Two hundred meters, this was a distance that they couldn't believe at all, not to mention it was so accurate.

This ultimately destroys their confidence.

However, before the three powerful families crossed south, they were still trying to get lucky.

I hope Liang Kai will take action and defeat King Yan together with the three families.

But the actual situation is that when three powerful families crossed south, Wu State took the opportunity to attack Xiangzhou, causing him to be attacked from both sides of Nanliang.

There is no place in the south of the Yangtze River for the Dou family to establish itself.

"Therefore, before our soldiers and horses of the Dou family are lost to the soldiers and horses of King Yan, we should make a decisive decision and retreat to Yizhou, relying on the natural dangers of Yizhou that one man can pass without ten thousand men to defeat the King of Yan." Dou Wei advised, "Otherwise, without troops and horses, how can we suppress the Xiao family when we go to Yizhou?"

Dou Mu nodded. From the beginning, their strategy was to protect the Dou family's troops.

This is the capital of their Dou family and the foundation for whether Nanliang can continue to exist.

"In this case, we should retreat to Yizhou now before Yanzhou's soldiers and horses have reached Xiangcheng. But in this case, the entire Jiangbei will fall into the hands of King Yan." Dou Mu looked painful.

He wanted to defeat King Yan, but he faced the cruel reality again and again, and he was very anxious.

Dou Wei patted Dou Mu on the shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, you can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood. Yizhou has been known as the land of abundance since ancient times. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you manage it carefully, it will be ten times better than Jingzhou. Don't regret it."

After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, Beidi is attacking Tubo and has gone to Yizhou. In the future, we can rely on Beidi. When we regain our strength in the future, it will not be too late to recapture Jingzhou."

Dou Mu nodded slightly.

After settling the matter, Dou Mu officially ordered the capital to be moved to Yizhou.

Immediately, they left some troops to garrison Xiangcheng, and hundreds of thousands of troops marched out from the south gate of Xiangcheng toward Yizhou.
