I became the son of Renzong

Without sufficient preparation, Zhao Xi would not be foolish enough to start a war.It is not a big deal to lose once, but I am afraid that if I lose again, the whole country will really lose all courage.That is not a matter of not talking about military affairs for 20 years, but that there will be no more wars until the dynasty is destroyed...

"Your Highness, what is the new military ration? Your Highness knows that the matter of military rations is not trivial, so how can you innovate at will?"

Zhao Xi found that Han Qi should be the most contradictory one.

How to say this old man, I guess he is the one who most wants to teach Xixia a lesson, but he is also the one who is most afraid of starting a war with Xixia.

Such a state of mind made him even more eager to prepare for the war to the extreme...

"It's just biscuits, another form of biscuits. Biscuits have been verified for many years, so there is no need to say much. And this kind of biscuits can still be eaten after half a year or even a year."

At the same time, Zhao Xi waved his hand, and Wang Zhongzheng quickly ran to the inner court.

"Your Highness, once the war starts, how many civilians will be recruited? How many soldiers will be mobilized? How many food reserves will be released? None of these can be prepared in a short time. But after the battle is over, the war is likely to start in a short time."

Since it can no longer be changed, let's put the topic on how to win this battle.

"My lords, there is no need for a civilian to participate in this expedition. All Zizhong's transportation will be handed over to the transportation team of the workshop city."

"Because the weight of the new army is different from that of traditional armaments, besides gunpowder, other armaments should not be transported by civilians."

"As for the mobilization of soldiers, except for the new army, it only needs the cooperation of the Western Army. This is especially true for the army rations. There is no need to open the reserve, and all of them will be handed over to the workshop city."

From the very beginning, Zhao Xi trained the track soldiers, workshop city labourers, and the entire transportation team in accordance with the engineering soldiers of later generations.

All of Zhao Xi's previous industrial planning was for profit, rather than a complete industrial chain of armaments.

Coal, iron ore, steelmaking, firearms, biscuits, sleeping bags, rails, transportation, etc., all of these are not related to war. At least now, all industries are ready to serve war.

Similarly, Fu Bi, Han Qi and the others are not of the easy-going type. After listening to Zhao Xi's words, they connect in their minds what Zhao Xi has done over the years... It turns out that His Royal Highness was planning a long time ago. It's time for this big battle!

eat?Cookies are for eating.Military to civilian?On the contrary, it is for both military and civilian purposes.The benefits of rail transport?Rather, it is more convenient for the transfer of armaments.

The husbands chewed the compressed biscuits. At this time, they really had mixed feelings.

So what about Shangwu?At this time, the industrial chain of His Highness the Crown Prince can completely set aside the court and complete a big battle on its own.

This is the real readiness. His Royal Highness is basically ready to realize his ambition.

Chapter 301 The Frustration of the Emperor and the Minister

At this time, everyone in the Chui Gong Palace, except for Zhao Xi himself, counting from his father, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Ouyang Xiu, and Bao Zheng, are the top decision makers of the entire dynasty. Mixed feelings.

I don't know whether to be gratified or jealous, but there is a deep sense of frustration anyway.

From very early on, His Royal Highness, little by little, tossing and tossing with a hammer here and there with a stick, until now, the overall plan of the whole plan has emerged.

If it wasn't for the fact that His Royal Highness would appear this time and had to connect all the arrangements together, they would still regard them as separate affairs.

Now, judging from the current results, the context of the entire development is quite clear.

Since the establishment of the guard battalion, His Highness the Crown Prince has been implementing his grand idea step by step, and even several times the court officials unconsciously set up obstacles, which actually contributed to the perfect layout of His Highness the Crown Prince.

However, the implementation of every step made it impossible for the imperial court to stop or refuse, and had to cooperate actively.From emperors to ministers to courtiers, there is no exception.

The South Expedition solved the shortcomings of the lack of copper and insufficient food supply in the country. At the same time, His Royal Highness benefited equally and recruited a large number of ministers and workers to participate in the development of copper and iron mines.

Then there is the track, despite the obstacles set up by the court, and after several twists and turns, His Royal Highness finally made it.

He also solved the problem of redundant soldiers for the court time and time again.Can't refuse!

Even the earliest meals were assisted by the husbands.

But none of His Royal Highness's affairs is beneficial to the country, nor is there any one that harms the interests of the emperor, the minister, and the entire court. On the contrary, everyone benefits, even the common people.

Without people knowing it, in a subtle way, it has become such a colossus...

For a while, the Chui Gong Temple was very quiet, even the sound of chewing compressed biscuits and swallowing could be heard.

Zhao Xi knows that there are many things that need to be digested by them...

Shocked?Maybe, it's okay to be incoherent, but once it's coherent, it's a bit of a shock.

But Zhao Xi didn't care, it had already reached this point, the general outline was formed, and it didn't matter whether it appeared or not.

This level is no longer something that the gentleman or the courtier can change.It's not just a fait accompli, but what's more terrifying is the vested interests. The entire court's officials, and even the court itself, are the fathers, and everyone has vested interests.

Besides him, Zhao Xi, who else could move?

The biscuit tasted good, Zhao Xi also chewed a little bit, it was really good.

Guochao's cooking is really not comparable to Zhao Xi's half brush. He just put forward an idea, and the women in the guard camp workshop made this kind of compressed biscuits comparable to later generations... After all In the end, those who ate these biscuits were their own relatives.

This is actually the most critical part of all Zhao Xi's plans.

By linking the soldiers who fought with the craftsmen who made the armaments, only one's own people will truly love their own people.Only one of his own will desperately protect the armament that can save his family's life.

Husband and wife, father and son, mother and son, brothers and sisters, siblings, etc., the closest and most direct relationship allows the entire armament production system to be closely integrated with users, which not only ensures the yield rate of armament production, but more importantly, is It is possible to prevent any soldier from defecting.

"Your Highness, when did this military ration take shape?"

It tastes good and is quite filling. Although it is not as good as biscuits, it is not much inferior.

Fu Bi had a guess and wanted to get confirmation from Zhao Xi.

"More than ten years, about the same time as biscuit making. At that time, because of Liu Yi, there were a lot of cakes produced that day. You all know that it is difficult to store cakes."

"Generally speaking, the amount of moisture is one of the factors that determine whether food is rotten. Xi was just experimenting at the time, and after verification, it is indeed usable. As for the taste... it is the work of the guard camp workshop."

Let me explain, otherwise I can't make it clear. This excuse is still reasonable and true.

"Why is it announced now?"

That said... Lao Bao didn't seem to have entered Bianliang at that time, did he?Otherwise I wouldn't ask this question.

"Bao Gong, the court at that time did not talk about military affairs for 20 years!"

No one paid attention to why Zhao Xi called Bao Zheng as Bao Gong, they were all ashamed by this sentence.

Fu Bi, Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gongliang, were all in the center at the time, and they also drew up the strategy of not talking about military affairs for 20 years.

In fact, at that time, even Zhao Xi knew that he really couldn't talk about military matters.

Speaking of which, the policy at that time was not wrong, and it has been almost 20 years now...

"Your Highness, the envoys of the Third Division will allocate all the money and food for the compressed biscuits, and please Your Highness, in this campaign, all soldiers are treated equally without distinction."

The salary of the imperial army is not comparable to that of the new army, even the western army.But once the war starts, they are all fighting for the country, and the equipment of the soldiers is different, and the morale of the army is unstable.
