Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 543 Rules
Seven days have passed since Lu Bu last had a drink, five days have passed since Lu Lingqi went home to complain, and more than ten hours have passed since Zhang Chunhua's father and Zhang Yang's brother Zhang Wang and his wife entered the palace for a family banquet...

At this time, Bai Tu was being interrogated by the four halls. At the round dining table, Lu Lingqi, Xia Houjuan, Xu Rong... and Zhang Chunhua, who usually would not appear here, were sitting on one side. After Bai Tu saw this layout, he was already late!
Originally, Bai Tu thought that Lu Lingqi and the others were going to have a good talk with Zhang Chunhua today, but who knew that as soon as they entered the door...there seemed to be some problems this time?

"Your Highness King Chu, please sit down quickly. Do you want me to move a chair for you?" Lu Lingqi said with a cute look.

"Everyone, stand down! I will move it myself." Bai Tu said majestically.

But at this time, there were no other guards following, including Sun Shangxiang, who were also guarding outside, and Lu Lingqi and the others...no one had any intention of helping him move.

Originally, Bai Tu thought that Lu Lingqi specially asked Zhang Chunhua to come here today, and also asked her to come after her work, in order to "train" Zhang Chunhua.

Of course, Bai Tu also knew that since Lu Lingqi nodded, she would not embarrass Zhang Chunhua more. At most, she would just "intimidate" him - after all, Zhang Chunhua had always been disliked by Lu Lingqi because he had too many "minds".

Even Bai Tu was ready to intercede for Zhang Chunhua and ask Lu Lingqi not to scare others. Who knows... In reality, it seems that it will be the other way around!

Sure enough, after Bai Tu took his seat, Lu Lingqi began to criticize Bai Tu's bad behavior in recent years. What made Bai Tu depressed was that not only Xia Houjuan and Xu Rong were just watching the fun, occasionally winking at her, and even... they were always considerate. Zhang Chunhua was speechless at this time!
It is in vain that this king values ​​you so highly and even wanted to plead with you before...

Bai Tu looked at Zhang Chunhua with some anger and grievance, but Zhang Chunhua completely ignored it and even occasionally helped Lu Lingqi.

Naturally, Zhang Chunhua had figured out Bai Tu's character a long time ago...

Helping Bai Tu to speak at this time would offend Empress Lu in vain, and these small help would not be enough to make Bai Tu favor her in the future. On the contrary, if she had the intention of relying on her favor and being arrogant, Bai Tu would definitely be the first to be dissatisfied!
In contrast...Bai Tu doesn't "hold grudges", not to mention that since he first entered the Chu Palace, he naturally has to have a good relationship with other people!

Lu Lingqi talked for a long time, and after drinking all the tea that Zhang Chunhua poured for her, she finally came to an end.

Then entering the main topic of the day, Lu Lingqi looked around and then said: "In order to avoid any unexpected behavior by 'His Royal Highness King Chu' in the future, several sisters unanimously support me and formulate the highest code of conduct for the Chu Palace to restrain it! " Xia Houjuan and Xu Rong only acquiesced in embarrassment, while Zhang Chunhua nodded positively.

Baitu: ...

After a series of "nonsense", Lu Lingqi mentioned the core of the norm - the number of harems should not be unlimited. Facing the ministers, especially a certain unnamed Privy Councilor, Bai Tu, as the King of Chu, should stand firm!

"So...His Royal Highness King Chu feels that if he sets a limit for himself..." Lu Lingqi said while looking at Bai Tu.

"I have always supported monogamy! Even now, I... the four of you are enough!" Bai Tu said immediately.

"Haha, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, think twice." Lu Lingqi curled her lips when she heard this.

In fact, last night, when Lu Lingqi first mentioned this matter to Zhang Chunhua, she did think so - there is a fifth one, she will be responsible for beating to death, Xiaojuan will be responsible for writing to death, Rongrong will be responsible for calculating death, and Zhang Chunhua will be responsible for pissing him to death... …

However, Zhang Chunhua gave different conditions.

According to Zhang Chunhua's analysis, the four people... would definitely break the precepts, and once the agreement was broken, it would be meaningless.

And what time is it now?Although the people are seeking stability and accumulation as much as possible, the DPRK, China and local government agencies are already fully prepared for war!

The focus of preparations for war is nothing more than logistical reserves, the army, and government affairs.

Needless to say, the logistics reserves of the Chu State are now at a level that allows the soldiers to eat dried meat, salted fish, and compressed dry food, dragging them to the armies of other princes without even gnawing the grass roots and bark of trees - provided that they do not talk about it The supply line is too long or passes through some difficult-to-transport road sections!

As for the army, it is nothing more than a thorough implementation of the new military system, and at the same time... training grassroots generals in the profound meaning of "true air guns".

Now they are basically captain-level officers, and their rotation training has basically been completed. As long as the time is right, the training will be comprehensively promoted to lieutenants and second lieutenants. Naturally, the Ji Zao soldiers below can command on the battlefield and undergo preliminary training - after all, the "real air rifle" Compared with bows and arrows, they are known to be simple to train and easy to operate.

And with today’s breech-loading guns, you don’t need to practice too much target shooting, as long as you can shoot forward in volleys...

"Difficulty" is more reflected in the fulfillment of orders on the battlefield.

For middle-level warriors, it is mainly to train some tactical command and cooperation. The actual use of firearms is actually very easy to train...

It's just that once the lieutenants and second lieutenants are fully trained, there is no need to think about keeping the "real air gun" a secret. Even now, there are already many reports saying that a new powerful "pinball crossbow" has appeared in Chu State, and Be fully equipped!

Of course, many people don't believe this. Although everyone has never seen a pinball crossbow, since it falls on the "Crossbow", everyone's first impression of it is that it is expensive - how can it be fully equipped with [-] yuan? An army worth tens of thousands?
However, in fact, after the ceiling of steel production was pierced, the cost and mass production speed of guns were much cheaper and faster than "crossbows", and bullets were even cheaper than crossbow arrows. After all, a It's a knuckle-sized piece of metal, and the other is a collection of wooden poles, arrowheads, and bird feathers...

Judging from the current situation, Chu Guoshi is planning to officially start comprehensive training by the middle of the year and will no longer hold back to keep it secret.

As for the preparations for war in the government, at the local level, it is the full development of the two-level system of prefectures and counties, while in the government... some important positions will give priority to "stability."

For example, the Grand Bachelor of the Imperial Palace, who has a tendency to make substitutions, will inevitably complete the substitution within a few months to avoid changing "looks" on the spot, such as Lu Bu and Huang Chengyan.

The former is because he will be on the front line in person at that time, so he is naturally not suitable for holding important central positions that need to stay in Aurous Hill at the same time. "Wired intelligence" can only be useful in defense. If it is offensive... it will take time to lay out.

The latter is because he will personally be in charge of Nanjun to prevent other troubles in Jingzhou...

And the successor can be guessed by anyone with a little bit of official position.

Lu Bu's replacement will be Chen Gong, who has returned from the south. After his "bright strategy" has new uses and he sets an example in land reclamation, Chen Gong's value has shifted from battlefield command to policy planning.

In addition to being a minister of Chu, Chen Gong is also Lu Bu's "retainer", still perfectly continuing the previous faction mission.

Huang Chengyan's successor will undoubtedly be Jiang Wan, who is likely to take over together with the "Minister of Staff".

Jiang Wan was also born in Jingzhou, but... he was more inclined to a poor family, to meet the requirements of being in contact with the Jingzhou nobles, and at the same time, he was inclined to Chu learning, the king of Chu, and the country of Chu!

Not long ago, Huang Chengyan started taking him to visit his "old friends" in Jingzhou.

And when it comes to Huang Chengyan...

"His Royal Highness King Chu, please don't forget that when Mr. Huang resigned from the position of Grand Master of the Imperial Palace, he might still bring up some 'noisy matters'!" Lu Lingqi gritted her teeth as she spoke to Bai Tu.
