Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

"From now on, don't call me your subordinate. From now on, when you receive an order from me, just say "Commander of the First Army Group, I have received your order" or just "Fan Jingtao, I have received your order"! Do you understand?"

Fan Jingtao responded respectfully: "Commander of the First Army, Fan Jingtao, I obey your orders!"

Zhenbei King Hongxuan's gaze fell on the right general Yu Shunshen.

"Right General Yu Shunshen, listen to my orders!"

The right general Yu Shunshen half-knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and responded: "I obey your orders!"

"I appoint you as the deputy commander of the First Army!"

"Yu Shunshen, deputy commander of the First Army, receives the order!"

"Well! Your commander and deputy commander should still lead your old troops. The current establishment is 30,000 soldiers!

The original 5,000 soldiers were too general and difficult to manage as a battalion.

The strength of a battalion is limited to one thousand soldiers.

You two army commanders must implement all the reforms of the army! As for how to reform, I will tell you in detail later!"

"Respect!"

Although the two army commanders are not clear about how the King of Zhenbei will reform, they feel that after such reforms, the control and cohesion of the army have been greatly improved.

"No wonder it is rumored that the King of Zhenbei is very good at using and leading troops."

“It’s true!”

Hongxuan looked at the six cavalry officers:

"From today on, you six cavalry captains cannot use this title! This title sounds very general and does not sound very good for command."

"Chang Mai Qing, You Wenxu, Lu Songlong, Gong Fangyi, Zeng Ying, Zhu Yaoshi, the six of you listen to my orders!"

"I'm here!" The six of them knelt on one knee to accept the order from King Zhenbei.

"I appoint you as brigade commanders of the First Army Group! Based on your future performance, three division commanders will be selected from among the six of you!"

"The last general takes command!"

"Do you still call yourselves the last generals?"

The six of them said:

"Commander of the First Army, follow my orders!"

"good very good!"

Hong Xuan looked at the six of them and said:

"From today on, you will be organized as an army group. Your current establishment is 30,000 people! In the future, you can expand it to a full establishment of 100,000 people!"

The eight people were shocked when they heard this.

The army's full strength is 100,000 soldiers.

"I am here to teach you how to manage the entire army! Starting from the army commander, he is the highest commander of the army. All generals and soldiers must obey him, unconditionally."

"I will first talk about my reforms to the army! Commander Fan Jingtao and Deputy Commander Yu Shunshen, you two must remember this."

"I, the King of Zhenbei, will definitely do that! No, this commander will definitely remember it!" Commander Fan Jingtao responded.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at the six people and said:

"My reform starts from the smallest units, companies and platoons!"

"We should not underestimate the mobility of the company! The combat strength of the entire army depends mainly on the strength of the company!"

The two army commanders and six brigade commanders were all shocked after hearing King Zhenbei's theory.

The strength of an army depends on the strength of its companies.

"The First Army now has 30,000 soldiers. Each brigade commander has 5,000 soldiers, and 5,000 soldiers can be divided into five battalion-level units. A battalion-level unit has 1,000 soldiers. A battalion-level unit can be divided into 10 companies, and each company commander manages 100 soldiers."

"As for the candidates for battalion commanders and company commanders, they will be proposed by five or six brigade commanders, and the two army commanders will decide."

The two army commanders and six brigade commanders were extremely shocked when they heard this. No other army could be as detailed as theirs.

"Commander Fan Jingtao, Deputy Commander Yu Shunshen, you take the six brigade commanders to redivide your troops, select and promote battalion commanders and company commanders to firmly control the army!"

The two army commanders and six brigade commanders responded in unison.

"Follow the order!"

The reform of the military was completed so smoothly.

Hongxuan controls the most advanced military management structure.

In this era, you only need to find the main positions in the combat troops, and as for the position of political commissar, you have to take it yourself.

The entire Zhenbei King's army was built with himself as the core, so he, the Zhenbei King, is naturally equivalent to the ideological and political commissar of the entire army.

The combat effectiveness of an army needs to be consolidated.

The first step is to strengthen management and reform.

The army is like a piece of good steel. The impurities inside need to be removed and it needs to be constantly forged in fire. The best way to do this is to reform the army.

After the eight officers left.

Qilin walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have already found all the skilled craftsmen in Yuzhou according to your instructions, and I am waiting outside!"

Zhenbei King Hongxuan showed joy.

"Please invite all these craftsmen in quickly!"

If we were to say what Hongxuan values ​​most now, it would be the skilled craftsmen who are able to manufacture equipment.

"There are three hundred craftsmen!"

Hongxuan was overjoyed when he saw these three hundred craftsmen.

The three hundred craftsmen saw the blush and shouted

"I pay my respects to the King of Zhenbei!"

Hongxuan hurriedly said, "Please stand up quickly:

"I summoned you here to set up a department specializing in equipment manufacturing.

You three hundred skilled craftsmen, please elect six representatives so that I can manage the city.

You three hundred skilled craftsmen will be organized into my specialized equipment production department, and you will have the same official positions and salaries as my personal guards, the Qilin One."

After some discussion, the three hundred skilled craftsmen selected six representatives:

Qiu Rufeng, Chu Yixiong, Han Junru, Niu Changqi, Ning Mingpei, Liao Ruisheng.

"My Lord, I wonder why you came here?"

Qiu Rufeng asked curiously, and the other skilled craftsmen were also very curious about this question.

They didn't understand why King Zhenbei summoned them?

In the Dafeng Kingdom, skilled craftsmen were not actually a very respectable thing, and many officials looked down on these craftsmen.

These skilled craftsmen are often overlooked.

It was the first time for them to see such a powerful figure as the King of Zhenbei.

"I summoned you here to have you make a batch of special military crossbows!"

Everyone was curious, a special military crossbow?

Chu Yixiong said respectfully: "We, the King of Zhenbei, do not know how to make military products."

They cannot do anything to deceive. If they know how to do something, they will do it. If they don’t know how to do something and say they can do it, wouldn’t that be deceiving the king?

Zhenbei King Hongxun smiled and said:

"This crossbow is called the Kongming Composite Crossbow."

"What a coincidence! I know how to make this Kongming compound military crossbow."

This Kong Ming compound military crossbow is the most powerful weapon Hongxuan can think of since coming to this world.

Adding the word "Kong Ming" before the compound military crossbow means continuous firing, as the name suggests. It can fire continuously like a pistol and release multiple crossbow arrows at a time.

The compound military crossbow is a crossbow with a wheel, axle and lever added to it.

This axle lever was known to Hongxuan and was the best and easiest to manufacture that could be used on the battlefield of Dafeng State.

Because Hong Xuan was a fan of Jun Nu in his previous life, he once disassembled a complete compound bacterial milk, and he knew all the various equipment, devices, and parts inside it.

This is also the most powerful weapon besides gunpowder firearms.

In fact, the power of the composite military crossbow is very strong.

Its lethality is ten times that of an ordinary military crossbow, and it can also fire continuously.

It can be said that the Kong Ming compound military crossbow is the most powerful weapon in the world today.
