Speaking of this, Chen Xin paused slightly, and waited for the adjutant to change his senses a little before continuing, "The order that the commander has decided must be carried out, unless all the officers just said unanimously expressed their objections.

Of course, in addition to the military affairs, you will also be responsible for the dispatch of personnel from various divisions of the expeditionary force to the Indian city-states, including but not limited to immigration, tuntian, colonization, mobilization of local colonial troops, ensuring the military needs of the expeditionary force, foreign affairs, and other government affairs. ”

"Minister, this, subordinate, that thanks, thanks, king." The adjutant was stunned for a moment. Only then did he react, stammering and thanking Chen Xin's promotion, he didn't seem to be mentally ready to be promoted.

Zhong Fulin was drinking tea slowly, which had nothing to do with him, the chairman of the National Security Committee. So, he just watched quietly.

However, as an old brother who has been following Chen Xin, has a lifelong friendship, and has been cultivated for many years, he is still carefully thinking about the relevant matters of this appointment in his heart according to the method taught by Chen Xin.

Ziggy, although he is a little shallow in terms of qualifications, is one of the closest lieutenants around the king, and he is also in charge of the chamber, so there is no doubt that he is a close confidant of the king.

Chen Xin never deliberately concealed him when he was doing things and giving orders, so he could be said to be the person who could best understand Chen Xin's true intentions.

At the same time, being able to do so long in this position can also know that he is also the most loyal to Chen Xin.

The appointment of Ziggy as chief of staff, a completely compliant promotion, did not affect the military command of the commander of the expeditionary force of the Indian city-states, and ensured the smooth flow of the most important military orders.

However, Ziggy was also in charge of the local departments, but he was deliberately breaking up the military power in the enclave of the Indian city-state in case the chief official had too much power.

In addition to the decentralization of Ziggy and various functional agencies, the Kingdom's naval Northern Fleet also controls the rear routes of this force, and the transport fleet also controls the communication and exchange of guards between the expeditionary force and the country.

Coupled with the fact that the families and assets of the soldiers of the expeditionary force were under the control of the intelligence services, this would ensure the effective command of the kingdom over this expatriate force.

Zhong Fulin admired Chen Xin's arrangement very much, and he knew Chen Xin's strategy in terms of personnel, and he knew very well that Chen Xin was still training him how to do things.

He secretly reminded himself in his heart that he must seize the time to follow the king to study hard, once he is released to become an official in the future, there will be no such good opportunity.

Chen Xin stood up and walked in front of Zige, patted the other party's shoulder encouragingly, and then said, "Work hard, your future is promising!" ”

With that, he left only Zhong Fulin, and after sending everyone else away, he walked to the front of the map and beckoned to Zhong Fulin.

Then he pointed to the map of Daming and said to him: "The task I have assigned below is to hand over to those armed forces that are lurking in the political envoys of Henan in the Ming Kingdom."

You have to tell them that everything we are doing now is for the future of China, that is, for all of us. Their first task now is to stabilize our various tunbao in the Central Plains and clear the trade routes between them.

In addition to the rogues who are too close, stop other large-scale attacks on the rogues, only focus on small forces of combat and cavalry contact, in short, just can't chase the rogues, that's one of our cards, don't be easily destroyed by ourselves.

At the same time, in the tunpu that we completely control, we will organize a part of the reserve troops, and plant some alfalfa in the uninhabited wasteland around the tunpu to supply the cavalry. ”

Zhong Fulin looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he asked Chen Xin about the doubts in his heart.

"Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being stupid, the ministers are really a little puzzled, the current Henan has been scooped enough by the rogues, it can be said that it is a thousand miles of red land, even if it is said that the birds do not, there is no problem.

Why does the king pay so much attention to this place in Henan, and moreover, he also wants our intelligence department to focus on the development of this place and put so many armed forces? ”

"Old Zhong, I want to say that you underestimate that place in Henan, which is very close to the Grand Canal.

Our armed forces in Shandong are stationed on the boundary of Dengzhou Prefecture, and if we go to the Grand Canal from there, we must at least cross several state capitals such as Qingzhou Mansion, Jinan Mansion, and Dongchang Mansion, which are not only far away, but also blocked by mountains on the way.

The Grand Canal is now the lifeblood of the northern region of the Ming Kingdom, and the millions of people in the capital are counting on the Grand Canal for food. At the same time, the Grand Canal is also the lifeblood of our China in the Ming Dynasty.

Our domestically produced materials have been shipped to Tianjin Weiland, and then not far away is the Grand Canal, through which our goods can be marketed to almost all the rich areas of the Ming Dynasty, and we continue to penetrate into various places.

Therefore, no matter what form it takes, I will work hard to ensure that our army has control over the Grand Canal. ”

Zhong Fulin immediately understood, and summarized in a low voice, "As soon as the king said this, his subordinates completely understood, that grand canal is very important to the Ming court, as long as we cut off the canal traffic at a critical moment, then the capital will immediately become an empty city." ”

Chen Xin nodded appreciatively, and then continued, "In addition to the capital, the Jiangnan region of the Ming Kingdom also relies on this waterway and sea for most of its commercial and trade activities.

Among them, there is no need to worry about the sea, the Ming Kingdom now has no money to support the reconstruction of the naval division, and our gradually growing navy is already the overlord of the surrounding seas, and it can completely control the situation on the surrounding seas.

So, the next step is to deal with the Grand Canal. The capital and the Jiangnan region, one is the power center of the Ming Kingdom, and the other is the economic center of the Ming Kingdom, and these two places are connected to the Grand Canal.

The purpose of putting an armed force on the side of the Grand Canal is to cooperate with the navy in certain tasks at a critical moment. ”

"My subordinates understood." Zhong Fulin was really convinced at this moment, he really didn't expect that when the Tartars attacked southern Liaoning, Chen Xin was still thinking about the layout of the Grand Canal.

However, Chen Xinke is not finished yet.

"In addition to this Grand Canal, I have arranged an army in Henan, and I have this other task."
