I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 154 United Front
When Zhao Xi and the others arrived in Mingying Prefecture, the entire Mingying Prefecture was heavily guarded, only allowed to enter and not allowed to exit, completely turning into a military city.

It's not that Nong Zhigao knows that Wang Shixi is advancing, but that His Royal Highness is in trouble because of Wang Shixi.

When Master Wang set out, Di Qing chatted with Yu Jing.The dispatch of the army is likely to cause the situation of the Nong people to be on alert, thus increasing the difficulty of His Royal Highness's actions.

Just looking at the time... His Royal Highness should be on his way back.

"His Royal Highness is triumphant..."

Ok!This soldier has a future, and his speech is extraordinary.Don't say you're back, don't say you're safe and sound, just call Triumph!

When Zhao Xi approached the west gate of Mingying Prefecture, the soldiers guarding the city shouted.This shout was like lighting firecrackers, a series of shouts...

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness..."

Before arriving at Gongxi, all the civil and military officials in Yongzhou ran out to greet him.When he called His Highness, he was obviously dissatisfied, and even prepared to spray.

"Wait a minute..."

It's been more than ten days, let's wash and wash, right?If it weren't for this obvious clothes, it is estimated that even the defenders of the city might not be able to recognize them.

Zhao Xi needs some time to let this group of civil and military people who are holding their breath relax a bit.

Sometimes it is like this, many emotions have a one-stop saying, need to diverge, slow down, it will be the result of repeated decline and exhaustion.

Zhao Xi also knew that he had passed a bit this time, especially for Yu Jing and Di Qing to bear such a heavy psychological burden, he was really embarrassed.

He doesn't have the idea that His Highness the Crown Prince is superior to others. In the court, no one seems to think highly of His Highness the Crown Prince, even the officials.

"residence……"

Zhao Xi was about to leave, but turned around and handed over to everyone, and asked about his address very embarrassedly... He had seen Qing Lan's sister, and Su Yan who was evasive, so he didn't know where to go.

This action is somewhat rascal... This group of civil and military men looked at the face of His Royal Highness whose facial features could no longer be clearly seen, and matched it with actions and attitudes that seemed very apologetic...

"Lead Your Highness to go quickly..."

It's done!As soon as Yu Jing said this, Zhao Xi knew it was over.It's time to fade away.

That's right, after more than ten days of raiding, just joining the army, he was sprayed by a daredevil, which seems to be unreasonable.

His Majesty's attitude is still very sincere.

……

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Xi's actions confused those who were waiting for him in the state capital.

Instead of showing the relevant evidence that Annan, or Dali, gave to Nong Zhigao, he threw out the half-armor from the guard battalion with a knife.

"Zhongzheng..."

Zhao Xi yelled, and Wang Zhongzheng swung his knife and slashed on the armor a few times, without any pretense, he slashed with all his strength.

The waist knife slashed on the armor, jingling, and you could see the traces of the blade cutting in on the armor, but it couldn't cut through, and the blade seemed to be a little curled.

"Your Highness, we have seen the armor of the guard battalion in Guirenpu. At this time, Your Highness should make a statement about this unauthorized risk, instead of showing off the strength of the armor!"

"Your Highness personally conscripts, and we agree with the right to make decisions on the fly. However, without informing the Yamen of the Guangnan appeasement, he entered the dangerous place without authorization. We can report to the imperial court..."

I knew there would be these words, but fortunately they were not harsh.

Zhao Xi was still speechless, and threw out a few pieces of black ore...

Finally, it's all about exploring.

"Your Highness, have you found the source?"

Or are they all smart people.Su Song intervened at this time, and immediately brought the topic to Zhao Xi's mind.

"The following topics involve the secrets of the state and the court. All of you present here are all important officials of the state and the court. Please decide for yourself whether it is serious or not."

"I, Zhao Xi, have something to say here. If anyone leaks it, even if it is Daliao Daxia, the guard battalion headed by me will swear to destroy the entire family without leaving any chickens or dogs behind! Don't doubt, the guard battalion has this ability !"

It was supposed to be a criticism meeting against Zhao Xi, but Zhao Xi disturbed it like this...

A group of people were stunned, curious about what happened, and why did you bring the clan with you?

"Su teaches..."

The rest is Su Song's time.

"Your Highness calls this manganese ore. When we make steel, we add a little to make the armor so tough that it cannot be damaged by swords or spears. Your Highness calls it manganese steel alloy."

It's that simple, and it wasn't too difficult.How to refine, how much to add, etc., Su Song didn't say much.As long as you know the recipe, it is nothing more than trying a few more times.

Therefore, Zhao Xi carefully put on the hat of state secrets.

"The place where the manganese ore is produced is here...Mingying Prefecture. The southern expedition of the guard battalion is not a credit, and the military exploits are useless to the guard battalion at this time. The purpose of this southern expedition is to inform the imperial court of the improvement of the guard battalion's military equipment. "

"About what the guard battalion did in Guirenpu, you must have reported to the imperial court. When the guard battalion returns to the court, it will be the day when this armor will be promoted."

"Here, I have a plan. Everyone here can take part in manganese mining, regardless of civil or military skills."

"In addition, a part of the personnel must be reserved for mobile use, and it is owned by the civil and military personnel who work in Guangnan, Yongzhou, and even Mingying Prefecture."

"The management of manganese mining must be from the military, and everyone except the miners must also be related to the military. That is to say, the place where manganese mining can be defined by military cities."

"Furthermore, after this campaign is over, there will inevitably be some Western troops staying in Guangnan. I suggest that the family members of the remaining Western troops should be given priority in all affairs of the manganese mine except miners' hard work..."

It can be clearly explained in a programmatic way, but it still needs to be organized when it comes to specific details.This... Zhao Xi has already prepared it.

He gave detailed explanations from the planning of the mine, the setting of management personnel, to the treatment of miners and daily militarized training, including the income of manganese mines and daily decision-making.

The tax revenue of the mine belongs to the court, the decision-making of the mine belongs to the magistrates, and the profits of the mine belong to the people... Let everyone treat the mine as a part of their own family as much as possible, and never allow anyone to get involved.

The mine is located in Mingying Prefecture, a prefecture and county adjacent to Guangyuan Prefecture, and even Annan and Dali.

There are millions of soldiers in the imperial dynasty, not to mention the flamethrowers equipping the army, just the armor... Don't look at everyone's members are not many, there may be differences due to status and seniority, but everyone Can see this future for a long time, this manganese mine will be a cornucopia

There is nothing more solid than interests, and nothing more firm than interests.

The righteousness of the family and the country, these literati and bureaucrats can all say it, quote from many sources, and they speak clearly and clearly.However, if something similar to the rebellion of the bandits is really encountered, I am afraid that there will still be behaviors of abandoning the city and fleeing.Because the country does not kill scholar-bureaucrats!
Is this Southern Expedition simply driving Nong Zhigao away, or is it taking further action to create a century-old peace in southern Xinjiang? With the link of manganese mines, at least in the current Guangnan appeasement office and the entire Yongzhou, A consensus will be reached, thus forming a unified report to the court.This is Zhao Xi's purpose.
