The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 181 Arrangement
Jia Ke is now thinking about next year. If the Tatars come back again, with the strength of his troops and the Manchu Eight Banners, he will definitely make him come and go.If they don't come, but bypass the two towns of Xuanhua and Kaiping, I will lead these Eight Banners soldiers and the cavalry from the two towns into the grassland, and wipe out all the nearby tribes. This will not only gain population, but also expand the territory.Let the Manchus under his command truly become an independent nation, and then he will be able to compete with Arslen Khan on the grassland.

In this way, even if the Central Plains can no longer stay, it can still be king in the grassland.

At this time, Jia Ke had a greater ambition in his heart.He doesn't want to be controlled by others anymore, he wants to be a chess player.

After Jia Ke made arrangements for the Tatar captives, he began to deal with the affairs of Xuanhua and Kaiping towns. He had already thought about the general arrangement.Now it's just a matter of calling together a few important people, discussing the details together, and then sorting things out.

Now Jia Ke is most concerned about the issue of military power. He wants to firmly control the 4 people in his own hands.Rather than a decree can deprive oneself of power.As for the method of brainwashing, he will carry it out in an all-round way.Every soldier and every household has to study hard and shout slogans every day, so that they can unconsciously hypnotize themselves, so that they can completely control these people psychologically and make them have a strong sense of identification with Jia Ke.

On this point, what Jia Ke admired was Yuan, who was able to train the recruits from the six towns to become his own private soldiers under the eyes of Lafayette.Therefore, in addition to modern brainwashing, Jia Ke also implemented many methods used by Yuan to control the new army in his own army.

A few days later, Jia Ke summoned three guards, Fan Kang and Chen Xi, to his study for a meeting.

After the five of them arrived, the guests and hosts were seated. Jia Ke coughed and said, "We have done a pretty good job this year. The emperor already knows our achievements, and I am now the commander." After finishing these words He laughed himself. As a commander, he controlled a lot more troops than Wang Tao's Jiedushi, and he had more power. The people under his smile also laughed. Everyone knows the specific situation.

Jia Ke coughed, put away her smile, and continued, "You guys have to follow suit. I have reported your achievements to the Ministry of War. I think you will get your confession papers soon, and all three of you will be promoted to rank." Guard, the ordinary thousand households below are all promoted to guard thousand households, and the deputy thousand households are promoted to thousand households."

The three thousand households were overjoyed when they heard this. They followed Jia Ke for only a year or two, and they were promoted from ordinary hundred households to guards. This was something they didn't even dare to think about before, but now their loyalty has changed from today's. The emperor's body turned to Jia Ke's body.I am afraid that no one can command them now except Jia Ke's orders.

After Jia Ke finished talking with the three of them, he said to Fan Kang, "Fan Kang will be the magistrate from now on, responsible for all administrative affairs of Xuanhua and Kaiping towns."

Fan Kang also stood up with a smile on his face and thanked Jia Ke, although he didn't care about these official positions.But to be honest, whoever gets promoted will be unhappy.

Jia Ke finally said to Chen Xi: "You are still the chief bookkeeper, but you are the chief bookkeeper of the entire commander, and you are in charge of the logistics of our entire army."

Chen Xi also hurriedly apologized. Although he was also the chief bookkeeper, his official rank had been raised by one level, and there were many more people in charge, and the corresponding power had also been expanded a lot.

After Jia Ke finished arranging their official positions, it was time to arrange the defense affairs of the two towns.Jia Ke first said to Feng Mo: "Feng Mo, you go to Xuanhua to serve as the garrison, and bring the well-trained archers and Fangzheng soldiers with you, and let the cavalry Qianhu Mazuo take his cavalry Qianhu, and then take two thousand cavalrymen. Ordinary cavalry will go with you. After arriving in Xuanhua, train two thousand cavalry. Xuanhua will depend on you, whether you think you can do it or not."

Feng Mo never liked to talk, but he only said one word after hearing Jia Ke's questioning, "Okay." Then he shut up.But there was a determined expression on his face.

Jia Ke was at ease with Feng Mo. Although he was not talkative, he handled things very safely.And the character is very resolute, the talent who can stand on his own.

After Jia Ke gave Feng Mo instructions, he said to Huang Baifeng and Zheng Kai, "You two have a very heavy mission. Feng Mo took away all the veterans and left us with nearly [-] remnants. You have come to train. I have sent all my personal guards, and they will serve as hundreds of households. To help you train, we must train this army this year, and next year we will be foolproof."

After instructing these words, he thought for a while and continued: "You pick out all the good seedlings among these recruits, and our officer training class will continue. Let me give the lectures in person, and we must ensure that all the grassroots Officers, all trained."

Huang Baifeng asked: "How many people do you want to pick?"

Jia Ke roughly estimated and said: "We have a lot of people now, so we will select 300 people first. It is better to have more people to be promoted in the future than no one will be used by then. Last time we trained fewer people, and now we have some Not open."

Huang Baifeng immediately cupped his hands and said: "Anyway, don't worry, I will send him over to the adults within a day or two."

After Jia Kehuang nodded to Huang Baifeng, he told Chen Xi: "The production of paper armor must not be stopped. Now we will make [-] pieces first. Come and tell me if you are short of money. We captured the Tatars this time." A lot of money can just make our troops better equipped."

Chen Xi said with some doubts: "My lord, isn't one hundred thousand pieces of equipment a bit too much?"

Without even thinking about it, Jia Ke said, "The rest is of my own use, so don't worry about it, as long as you make all the paper armor for me before next summer, it will be a great achievement."

Chen Xi said proudly: "My lord, don't worry, now our workshop has expanded nearly ten times, everyone's treatment is better, and the children of craftsmen have a way to make money. So make [-] pieces of paper armor before summer." No problem at all."

"Don't be proud, I have one more thing for you to do. Although our paper armor is good in defense, it is damaged faster after all, and its defense is still not as good as iron armor. You go back this time and gather skilled craftsmen to try to make it Iron armor, I want more than a hundred generals in our army to wear iron armor." Jia Ke ordered Chen Xi with a solemn expression.

Chen Xi was a little embarrassed at this time, "My lord, the manufacturing technology of iron armor is very important, and the iron materials used are not ordinary wrought iron, but real steel materials. With their strength in Kaiping Town, if it is just repairing, It can barely be achieved. It will consume a lot of energy to make iron armor. And our craftsmen may make some substandard steel.” The imperial court has strict control over the army of elite soldiers, and the craftsmen at the border can only do minor repairs. But, the real skilled craftsmen are all in the Ministry of Industry in the capital.

Jia Ke didn't care about this, "Since you can't, let's try a few more times. I don't believe that two shoulders carry one head. If others can do it, we can't. Go down and tell those craftsmen that if you can do it I will reward you with 500 taels of silver for the steel materials that can be used to make armor."

Jia Ke believes that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. He has produced such a great player, and those craftsmen with special skills have not worked hard to study them. As long as one of these people succeeds in making armor steel, there is no need to worry.

Chen Xi pulled himself together again. Since Jia Ke trusted him so much, he would live in the craftsman's camp this time, and he had to train steel materials to repay Master Jia for his kindness.

Jia Ke finally said to Fan Kang: "I don't have much experience in government affairs, and I have little experience. I will rely on your help in the future, and you will worry about the candidates for officials at all levels."

Fan Kang nodded and said: "My lord, don't worry, I will do my best. But I'm afraid we don't need to decide many things. The county magistrates of Kaiping and Xuanhua towns may be sent by the imperial court to take over."

Jia Ke listened to this and snorted, "We are here at the border, and we fight every year. If the county magistrate who comes over is still sensible, let him stay. If he is not sensible, we will be attacked by Tatars at any time. A frail scholar like this is probably the most favorite target of the Tatars."

When Fan Kang heard this, he had nothing to say. What Jia Ke said was also reasonable. Before Jia Ke came, several Qianhu were assassinated in office.What's more, these frail scholars who came to be county magistrates.

After arranging these things, Jia Ke finally said to them: "The troops must not relax in their studies. The booklet I handed out must make them study hard. As long as you study this booklet, you can roughly understand Let’s apply the tactics of Kaiping town.”

After arranging these things, Jia Ke let them go to work.

After they left, Jia Ke secretly summoned Wei Kun and asked him to strengthen the intelligence work with all his strength, strengthen the monitoring of military officers at all levels, and intensify the attack on the imperial court's intelligence system.It is best to drive out the court forces in the two towns.To make it seamless, people think it is the revenge of the Tatars. If it cannot be foolproof, I would rather not take any action. Another thing is to select suitable candidates from among the captured Tatars to serve as spies to spy on the Tatars. Tartar intelligence.

But Jia Ke's arrangement for Tang Kuai was to investigate the Tatar tribes near the two towns of Xuanhua and Kaiping with all their strength, to find out how many people they had and where they migrated every year?Where are the nearby water sources?Make preparations for Jia Ke going north to the grassland next year.

Jia Ke has already made up his mind that if the Tatars don't come to monitor next year, then he must go north to the grasslands and give the Tatars a hard time.Let them know Kou can go and I can go.

Jia Ke will be very busy in the next ten days. Although he has arranged things, it does not mean that he can be a hands-off shopkeeper.In the end, he was the one to decide on many matters, and he had to personally complete the signing of many documents, and he had to go to various places every day to check them out. After all these things were arranged, Feng Mo also took his troops to Xuanhua Take over the defense and go.

On the day Feng Mo left, Jia Ke took special time to see off all the generals in Kaiping Town. This time Feng Mo's departure represented a large-scale expansion of Jia Ke's power.

After Feng Mo went to Xuanhua Town, Huang Bofeng and Zheng Kai also started a big military training in full swing. The training of 3 people leveled the grassland outside Kaiping Town.

The training of tens of thousands of Tatars also began at this time, but the Tatars did not directly conduct military training, but began a long period of brainwashing.Only after this step is completed, can they be regarded as a qualified slave.The next step is to create profits for Jia Ke while training.
