By the Thames, Richmond.

Hampton Palace.

Looking at the Hampton Cort, composed of eight oil paintings hanging in the most conspicuous place in the first hall of the State Bin Building, the most beautiful palace lady of the Shakespeare era, Joao V, the king of the Portuguese Braganza Dynasty, smiled and said: Compared with Hampton Palace, my Mafera Palace seems to lack some feminine atmosphere.

King George II of England heard this and glanced at him faintly, feeling jealous.

Although George II was the king of England and was tall and burly, his fate was much more miserable than the lucky one in front of him...

During his childhood, his mother, Queen Dorothea, George I, was disgusted with her husband and fell in love with a colonel of the Swedish Dragoon.

For this reason, George I not only divorced Dorothea, but also imprisoned her for life in Alden Castle.

Dorothea was only twenty-eight years old at the time, and was imprisoned for a total of thirty-two years until her death.

When George II was in his teens, he learned about his mother's misfortune. He tried to swim through the moat of Arden Castle and visit his biological mother, but was caught by the guards before he got ashore. When his father learned about it, he asked someone to beat him hard.

George I refused to grant him any humble official position to his eldest son. Despite this, George II fought with his father, very brave and made military achievements in the battle of Odnard, but George I kept belittling his military achievements.

The long-term depression made him irritable and arrogant. He regarded all the men and women around him as slaves who would kick and hit him whenever he was happy and kiss him whenever he wanted to.

And Joao V ascended the throne at the age of seventeen. Unlike the previous young monarchs, this young man did not give any chance to the conspirators. As soon as he came to power, he firmly held the power and became the first truly autocratic monarch in Portugalia's history.

Fortunately, his father Pedro discovered gold and diamond mines in the Redwood Kingdom (Brazil) during his reign. He died of illness shortly afterwards. This dividend was enjoyed by Joao V.

A large amount of gold poured in, greatly increasing Portugalia's property.

Joao V relied on these wealth to promote the revival of Portugalia under his rule.

Military, Joao V rectified and expanded the navy and army, which brought Portugal's military to the same level as Europe temporarily.

In terms of diplomacy, on the one hand, Joao V remained neutral under the disputes between European countries after the War of Succession of the Polangji throne, and remained friendly with all the countries.

Therefore, today he can chat and laugh with the increasingly powerful King of England...

After entering the inner court, after sitting down, Ruo Ao V tasted Scottish black tea, gently put down the delicate porcelain, and after looking at it, he exclaimed: The porcelain of the big Yàn is still so elegant and noble.

When George II heard this, he snorted and said: If that guy William heard this, he might be very unhappy.

William IV is the King of the Netherlands.

Malacca and Batavia, the hubs leading to the East and even controlling the East, were originally in the hands of the Netherlands.

Although the Netherlands has been beaten several times by England and its power is no longer as good as before, it is still extremely powerful in commerce.

Especially in the East, before Delin's military bombarded the gates of Japan with giant cannons, except for the Great Yàn, only the Netherlands was qualified to enter Japan for business.

Little Liuqiu and Dutch East India are both the thickest wallets in the Netherlands.

Now, all these have been taken away by the great man as a domineering person.

All countries in Europe know that King William IV of the Netherlands has cursed the Eastern Kingdom with the most vicious and dirty words every day for the past two years.

Interestingly, William IV's father, William III, triggered the glorious revolution in England, which completely opened up the constitutional monarchy of the Kingdom of England, and also made the king's power far less than that of the king under centralized autocracy.

So, George II naturally would not like William IV.

Joao V chuckled slightly when he heard this, but looked at George II and said softly: England has lost India, isn't the loss smaller than the Netherlands?

George II's face suddenly became gloomy and he slowly said: The Portuguese Far East Fleet was completely destroyed, the Governor of East Timor was captured, and the countess of the Hokkien became a stubborn creature among the Orientals. Is Portuguese willing?

The countless fertile arable land in India is nothing, and England's colonies in North America are equally fertile.

But India still has more than 100 million cheap dings that are not even considered to be people, but it is an indispensable livestock labor force, source of raw materials, and dumping place for commercial products for the rise of the British Empire.

India's losses have made England heart-wrenching.

As he wanted to challenge Joao V, George II fought back mercilessly.

The smile on Joao V's face also disappeared. He looked at George II and said: Of course he was unwilling to give up.Augustus, the country in the East is rising, although so far, their warships are all imitating our warships, and their artillery skills are also learned by us.Their natural sciences are nearly zero...

However, if they are not dealt with as soon as possible, if they underestimate them, in another ten or twenty years, they will develop their own natural sciences and will independently build their warships and giant cannons.

That is a superpower with a population of more than 10 million. Once it begins to explode, can Augustus and the entire Europa add up to stop them?

Don’t forget that the Tatars of that year almost swept across the entire Europa.

We cannot sit idly by and watch the arrival of this day. We must form a dragon-slaying army and kill it hard while the evil dragon has not yet become a man and cause harm to this world!

Otherwise, everything we have now ends.

George II looked at Joao V and said: Antonio, would you exaggerate the strength of the Eastern Kingdom too much?

Joao V shook his head and said: The wealth and stability there are, and the people with more than a hundred million people obey the centralized rule of the dynasty... No matter how exaggerated their strength, it is not an exaggeration. And the Prince of Oriental said personally that in one day, they will occupy all the fertile land in the world. They are the reappearance of the Tatars, and if we do not do anything, the Whip of God will inevitably reappear on the continent of Europa and on the ocean. By then what else can we and our children do besides kneeling down and licking their boots?

After staring at Joao V for a moment, George II nodded and said: OK, Antonio, you convinced me.So, what do you want to do?

Joao V smiled and said: Not just what I want to do, Augustus, have you been driving warships to the east over the past two years?There are also the Netherlands, Fronji, Frons and the others.

George II said slowly: It is probably not enough for us five families alone.

Joao V asked: Then how are you going to?

George II smiled and said: Eros had never given up his ambition to annex the land. Instead of letting them covet the West, it would be better to lead the female tsar to the east.Those human-shaped animals are not really a waste.In addition, the war madman Frederick William I of Prussia, and Japan also hated the great yoàn to the core.

Although Japan is not a powerful country, it is also an Eastern country and has the convenience of geographical advantages.

So a total of eight countries formed a dragon-slaying coalition. Can’t the evil Eastern dragon be destroyed?

Dragons have always been a symbol of evil in the West.

Joao V smiled and said: There should be no country in this world that can resist such a dragon-slaying coalition.It seems that you have planned...

Yàn country, plus Mughal India, two superpowers with a population of billions, that is really endless wealth...

George II reminded: India belongs to the British Empire.

Joao V shrugged gracefully and said with a smile: Of course, Portugalia is not interested in having too many colonies. We just want Portugalian merchant ships to travel to every corner of the world.

Upon hearing this, George II narrowed his eyes and smiled: This is not difficult. As long as England has two colonies, India and Great Yàn, I promise that Portuguese merchant ships will be able to travel in any sea area.Moreover, they will provide them with a port like Haojing.

Ruo Ao 5 bowed slightly and said with a smile: May God bless us and everything goes well.

……

The Governor's Office of the Five Army.

The middle hall.

On the front wall, a large map of more than meter high was hung high.

The Yongcheng Hou Xue Xian, the Linjiang Hou Chen Shi, the Jingchuan Hou Zhang Wen, the Jingning Hou Ye Sheng, the Yongding Hou Zhang Quan and the Jinghai Hou Yan Ping surrounded a young man in regular clothes and stood in front of the map.

Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu, Jizhou, Shanxi and Guyuan, these nine towns occupy more than 80% of the troops.At the moment, it is obviously out of place.

The Yongcheng Hou Xue Xian was the governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, and he was the other four. At this moment, he pointed to the map with his stick and said in a deep voice: In the past two years, the firearm army has swept across the grassland, and there are nine thousand households in Mongolia in the grassland, and five of them have been settled by us.Even the jung Gerweilat Mongolia was completely pacified.The remaining four are all in Khalkha.

If the distance was not too far and they were worried about logistics, they would not be able to escape!Therefore, it is not appropriate to set up hundreds of thousands of troops on the nine sides at this time.

Jia Qiang nodded when he heard this, looked at the map for a moment and asked: Are there any conquered Mongolian tribes willing to surrender?

Chen Shi smiled and said: Of course.Hou Huawen of Huai'an and Hou Xingyuan of Huai'an have many gathered together. They used to do business with the Mongolians and were easy to talk to.Those two guys, tsk, the Mongolian beauties make them stubborn...

Before he finished speaking, seeing that Jia Qiang had changed his expression, Chen Shi immediately woke up and quickly smiled and said: This is all random guesses and does not take it seriously.

Jia Qiang said slowly: If you are in a state of hostile war, either you die or I live, then no matter what means you use, it is not an exaggeration. However, if they have surrendered and acted freely, it would be a serious violation of military law and should not be tolerated.

After Chen Shi and others received the order, Jia Qiang said: Those who surrender should use it. Whether it is a scout or a soldier, they will lead the way and strive to completely pacify Khalkha within two years! The Nine Borders should not be set up, but they should be located in Khalkha, north of Liaodong, and northwest to establish three major military regions to guard the border. When will the territory expand outward and the military region continue to move outward?

When Xue Xian heard this, he frowned and said: Prince, it’s really bitter and cold there, and the soldiers are probably not easy to recruit.

Jia Qiang shook his head and said: In the future, the recruitment system will be changed.How can a great cause of national defense be defended by recruiting troops?It is simply outrageous to drive the army to get money, to travel twenty miles, to get money before taking the knife!Every citizen over 18 years old has the responsibility and obligation to serve in the military to defend his country, so there is no need to worry that no one is guarding the bitter and cold land.

Hearing this, the governors of the Five Army began to feel cold and their expressions were shocked.

This is not a stubborn joke. Changing the way of recruiting soldiers is a big event in the army!

This will cut off the wealth of many people!!

In the past two years, in order to streamline the redundant soldiers and generals, the Governor's Office of the Five Army has been dying for 18 lifetimes. The ancestors who were in peace underground have been sneezing desperately, and they were scolded so miserably.

The establishment of the Constitutional Guard and the Military Law Department made the generals in the army feel dissatisfied, thinking that a sharp blade was hanging on their heads, which made them very unhappy.

Now the recruitment system has changed...

Xue Xian's voice became heavy, and he looked at Jia Qiang and said slowly: Prince, although the conscription system can prevent the emergence of separatist warlords who are supported by the army, it will increase the burden on the people.Fighting power may be greatly affected...

Whether it is the Great Northwest or Khalkha, it is too far away from the center.

If the conscription system is not implemented, a group of soldiers will be replaced every few years and the recruitment system will be adopted, and separatist forces will appear sooner or later, which will be uncontrollable.

Jia Qiang smiled and said: You don’t have to do this. I am not a person who takes it for granted and will not make it so difficult for you to do it. Although the military system has changed, today's conscription system is definitely different from that before the Five Dynasties. At that time, all recruitment and service were obligated and no military pay was given. The recruitment system also provides money and money, and the family is exempt from taxes and labor service, which can greatly reduce the burden on the family. Therefore, the recruitment system replaced the conscription system, which is a kind of progress.

But now the territory of DaYàn is becoming more and more broad, and it is no longer possible to rely solely on recruiting troops.The conscription system can ensure stable soldiers, and of course, it also needs to ensure the benefits of soldiers.Not only will they pay money and exempt from corvee service at home, the court will also divide the land with them after they have served in the military service period, and they will never let the soldiers of the Great Yàn suffer losses.

Since it involves money and property, it is inevitable that corruption will be difficult to escape.

Jia Qiang has no choice but to cure all diseases with one medicine.

After first changing the military system, there is plenty of time to pick up those hyenas that eat rotten meat!

Xue Xian and others looked a little calmer when they heard this.

With his calm and cunning mansion, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment and said: Prince, the establishment of the Five Army Governor's Mansion has really made me feel infatuated and worried.I just breathed a sigh of relief when I streamlining the soldiers before. Now, there are many storms in the changes in the military system.If some things are handled improperly, they may be missed...

Jia Qiang smiled and said: Those who are capable should work hard, as for fear of something happening... there is no need.Yesterday, I told the old man at Duke Zhao's mansion that the Jiang family and your twelve families are also here. I am planning to create a model for the king and his subjects to get along with each other for the king and his subjects.So you don’t have to be afraid of doing something wrong. For the sake of national affairs, even if you make some mistakes or even big mistakes, just make a mistake!I am not a harsh tyrant. Unless I break the big mistake that even I can't fix, I will take care of you!

The Governor's Office of the Five Army is the highest official office of the million-strong army. It allows people to curse and say some complaints. However, as soon as the military order of the Governor's Office of the Five Army is issued, no matter how fierce the scolding is, they must be carried out meticulously.

Not to mention disobeying orders, even those who are procrastinating must go to the Military and Justice Department to discuss their crimes!

Having said that, Xue Xian, Chen Shi and others will not say more.

Moreover, changing the military system will indeed greatly strengthen the power of the center.

After saying this, Jia Qiang's eyes moved south and finally landed on Java Island, and said softly: You must move neatly, quickly, ruthlessly, and completely reach the rear!A big war is about to begin in the South China Sea.In the past two years, Western countries have been sending warships and horses here, and their intentions are ulterior motives.

Today, I can't stand two wars.

Obey the order!

Please rest assured, the Governor's Office has never relaxed its preparations for the war against Khalkha. Since the prince is willing to fight the Western Yi Luosha in the South China Sea, he will immediately send an order for Liaodong Town, Xuan Town and Datong to attack Khalkha from three sides. It is necessary to completely destroy the four tribes of Tu Xietu, Zhasaktu, Chechnya and Saininoyan before this winter!

It is not easy to occupy and it is difficult to settle, but it is no longer difficult for today's great Yàn!
