Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 760 The thief's heart is immortal
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has taken over the existing firearms and ammunition factory and has begun to expand various arsenals outside Hengyang City in an effort to meet the operational needs of the four major legions."

Situ Tianyin finally added.

"General Situ, I am not sure that Zheng, Yue, Xixia and the Zhou Dynasty can be frightened. Therefore, we must be prepared for a war."

"In addition, because the arsenal is flammable and explosive, we need to do counter-espionage work to prevent enemy infiltration and destruction..."

Lu Hao warned in a deep voice.

"Weichen has already studied this security issue with Mr. Wu, and will conduct strict checks on people entering the factory to prevent enemy spies from sneaking in."

Situ Tianyin glanced at Wu Qingyu and responded loudly.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has always been in charge of secret spies. A few days ago, we captured a group of secret spies from the Sui Empire."

Wu Qingyu quickly added.

"The relationship between the Sui Empire and us is very tense, especially the newly appointed Crown Prince. He is very interested in our new weapons and wants to come and take some back to study. However, we still caught him. Unexpectedly, he sent people again. , You really won’t change your mind!”

"However, whether it is sent by them or by other forces, as long as it is a secret spy, it must be investigated thoroughly to prevent the leakage of military secrets..."

Lu Hao nodded slightly, obviously thinking of Nangong Zhen.

"Your Majesty, two days ago, we discovered secret spies who had infiltrated from the Eastern Turks and the Great Grassland. However, the two great grasslands are now the territory of the empire, so we have not alerted them for the time being."

Wu Qingyu bowed slightly and added.

"Oh...two secret spies sent from the prairie? What do they want to do? Are they still evil? Or do they want to..."

Lu Hao hesitated to speak, and said with a meaningful smile: "Master Wu, just keep a close eye on me!"

"Wei Chen understands!"

Wu Qingyu responded loudly.

Next, Lu Hao dealt with some political matters on the spot, such as increasing the financial budget, assessing the personnel system of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and planning for the primary and secondary schools that were about to start construction.

Although these are national affairs, to Lu Hao, they are small matters, and they can all be solved in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions.

It was not until the end that Tantai Mingyue talked about the two main armies that were on the expedition.

"Your Majesty, the first and second main corps of the Empire's Central Army, [-] strong, have already set out, crossed Hangu Pass, and are heading towards the border of Jin. I don't know what to do next?"

Tantai Mingyue asked loudly.

"The first main army of the Imperial Central Army goes west to occupy Yingzhou City, and the second main army goes south to occupy Penzhou City. If it encounters the armies of the other two countries, they will be killed without mercy! Tell them that I will personally go and command the war!"

Lu Hao responded in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the third and fourth main armies of the Empire's Central Army also strongly request to participate in the war."

Dong Xiaojun knelt down on one knee and took the initiative to ask for help.

"General Dong, you and General Pei should stay calm for the time being and train your troops well. It is estimated that after the Chinese New Year, we will march into the Western Regions."

Lu Hao said casually.

In fact, the reason why the two legions are stationed in the imperial capital is because the Eastern Turks and the northern steppes are not stable.

Just like what Wu Qingyu reported just now, both grasslands have sent secret spies to sneak into the imperial capital, which is definitely not a good sign!
Lu Hao had already predicted the actions of the two grasslands, and they might do this several times until the cultures merged completely with the passage of time to solve this problem.

No one knows when they will rebel, nor how many of them will rebel, but Lu Hao will definitely reserve a lot of troops for them.

"By the way, where is the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy now?"

Lu Hao looked at Tantai Mingyue and asked loudly.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy has crossed the Great Bay Strait, and half of the ships are transporting guns and ammunition..."

Tantai Mingyue responded.

"Tell them to slow down the ship. The two legions on land cannot keep up with their speed." Lu Hao explained.

"General Situ, how many guns and ammunition are equipped with the two legions?"

Lu Hao turned to look at Situ Tianyin.

"Reporting to the emperor, each soldier is equipped with two hundred rounds of ammunition, four grenades, and four gasoline bombs. In addition, each legion is equipped with thirty submachine guns, as well as [-] rounds of ammunition, and a thousand explosive bags..."

Situ Tianyin spoke carefully.

Because the two main legions are cavalry, the war horses can not only carry people, but also transport supplies, which is why they carry so many weapons and ammunition.

Of course, this is also because the battlefield is too far away and it is difficult to supply supplies, so they bring so many.

Because they carried too much supplies, the army's marching speed dropped a lot, but it couldn't be delayed for more than a few days.

"Your Majesty, the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy has brought a lot of weapons and ammunition. Once the navy lands, the weapons and ammunition of the two main armies should be enough."

Tantai Mingyue finally added.

The weapons and ammunition carried by the imperial navy fleet were originally shipped to Negese because the Qiang people were raided by Lu Hao's cavalry. Therefore, the later batch of ammunition was shipped to Qiongzhou Port.

This time the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy was dispatched not only to form a sea and land attack, but also to transport this batch of weapons and ammunition to the Western Region.

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark soon. Would you like me to arrange a dinner for all the adults to have a meal together?"

Tantai Xiyao asked.

"No, they're definitely not hungry."

Lu Hao decisively refused.

"Your Majesty, I am a little hungry!"

Du Ze muttered in a low voice with a grimace on his face.

"You brat, I don't even want to have a meal with my whole family. Well, let the queen make arrangements and let you have a meal here."

Lu Hao rolled his eyes at him and was speechless.

"Wei Chen knows that the emperor is kind and will not let us starve."

Zhang Zhongwei also laughed happily.

"Master Zhang, the empire is going well and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. The Criminal Department should be considered the most relaxed, right?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The crime rate continues to decline. The Ministry of Punishment is investigating and collecting public opinion, and is preparing to continue to adjust relevant laws and regulations."

Zhang Zhongwei responded loudly.

"The Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Shu have now been merged into the empire, and the laws and regulations must be those of the empire. However, since these places have just experienced civil strife, there will definitely be many bandits. Once the administrative agencies of the empire move in, your task is to eliminate them. These bandits, although I am planning to let you stationed in the two countries in the Western Region after the New Year, you must make a plan in advance, do you understand?"

Lu Hao explained casually.

"Wei Chen understands."

Zhang Zhongwei responded quickly.

"The rest of your departments, especially the Ministry of Personnel, must do a good job in allocating local officials, and the Ministry of Household Affairs must also do a good job in census, land resource distribution and other tasks."

Lu Hao looked at the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Hubu again.

"Follow the emperor's will!"

The two adults quickly stood up and responded.
