In the imperial study, Xiao Ming was watching the battle report from the grassland.

In front of him, Pang Yukun and Fiji looked happy. For them, this victory was comparable to the era of the joint fleet in the naval battle in Dengzhou. After all, they were people living in the terror era of barbarians, and their hatred for barbarians was natural.

"140,000 barbarian cavalry were killed and 20,000 surrendered. In this battle, the main force of barbarian cavalry was eliminated, and the remaining barbarian tribes would not be afraid!" Pang Yukun was furious.

Fiji agreed: "Niu Ben proposed to increase the number of lances to 30,000 to completely control the grassland. I think this plan is feasible, and in order to save money, it is not the cavalry that will destroy the remaining barbarian tribes."

Xiao Ming nodded. Niu Ben and Luo Quan's mission had ended. It was not a wise choice to encircle and suppress the barbarian tribes on the grassland with infantry. Just as Qi Guangyi suggested, only by building a lancer can we control the grassland at the minimum cost.

He said: "Since this is the case, the production of Han-style rifles will be temporarily suspended, and Qi Guangyi will be given priority. The barbarians will die without being stiff, so this time they will destroy the barbarians in one fell swoop."

After pausing, his eyes turned, and he remembered a serious question in the battle report, so he said: "Niu Ben and Luo Quan both proposed to release their armor and return to the field at the same time. What do you two have?"

Pang Yukun had read the battle report, and he sighed and said, "Niu Ben and Luo Quan are old. Since they are unwilling to serve in the court again, it is better to fulfill their wishes."

"Emperor, Niu Ben ordered the execution of hundreds of thousands of barbarians this time, which caused us to lose so many slaves! How good would these slaves be used to build railways? I think even if Niu Ben doesn't untied his armor and returns to the field, he should have dismissed him." Fiji said with heartache.

After pausing, he continued: "As for the old minister Luo Quan thought he could not let him retreat without authorization, otherwise the military headquarters would lose two generals at the same time, who should be in charge."

Pang Yukun glanced at Fiji when he heard this. He frowned and said, "The words of Feige Lao may be biased. In this battle report, Niu Ben and Luo Quan clearly stated that it was the two who discussed together to make this decision. Why did Niu Ben go to Feige Lao and Niu Ben's fault? Besides, in my opinion, Niu Ben's inaction this time is not only unforgivable, but also made contributions. Let me ask, how did the barbarians invade Dayu Kingdom ten years ago? At that time, the barbarians would first massacre a city to let other cities give up arrival, so Niu Ben just for tooth."

"Shoufu Pang is a plea for Niu Ben. Is these hundreds of thousands of barbarians used to build railways or kill them? Can't Pang, who is very careful in calculations, calculate it?" Fiji bit Niu Ben and wasted manpower.

When the two were arguing, Xiao Ming's eyes swam back and forth on the two. When he arrived here, he said, "Don't fight with you two. Niu Ben and General Luo Quan had the intention to retreat before setting off for the grassland. I also agreed to them. Moreover, the two of them's previous war experience can no longer keep up with the ever-changing military changes today. It is their original intention to give up their position to the right person. As for the killing of prisoners, Niu Ben has a lot of merits and demerits. Even if the war report is delivered to me, I will agree."

Fiji said in surprise: "Master, why is this?"

"In order to destroy the will of the barbarians, if the barbarians continue to resist, we will have more soldiers sacrificed. Therefore, if the killing of prisoners this time makes the barbarians lose their will to resist, we will defeat the soldiers without fighting." Xiao Ming said seriously.

Fiji was silent. He originally wanted to protect Luo Quan. After all, the two had a close relationship with each other, but now it seems impossible. He sighed and said, "It's the old minister who is too short-sighted."

Pang Yukun breathed a sigh of relief. When Fiji was speaking, he guessed what Fiji thought, but there was a saying in Fiji that was right. If Niu Ben and Luo Quan step down at the same time, what should the Ministry of Military Affairs do?

He said: "Emperor, since Niu Ben and Luo Quan both want to retreat, then this Military Affairs Department?"

"Retreat!" Xiao Ming said decisively: "This military headquarters was a temporary institution before the Civil War began. Now the north and south are unified, and the northern grasslands are about to be recaptured. The name of the Chinese Empire is worthy of its name. In order to further exert the strength of the army, my army divided the imperial army into six military regions. One of them was the Siberian Military Region, with Ye Qingyun as the commander of the military region. This military region will be responsible for the wars between Japan, Goryeo, Siberia and Tsarist Russia."

After pausing, he continued: "The Second Military Region is the Northwest Military Region. Qi Guangyi will serve as the commander of the military region. This military region will be responsible for the war between the Northwest Grassland and the Golden Horde, and at the same time defend the countries of the Western Regions, especially the blank areas of power left after the demise of the Golden Horde. I do not want to be taken advantage of by the Ottoman Empire. The third is the Southwest Military Region, Luo Xin serves as the commander. This military region will be responsible for the security of the southwest region of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and at the same time participate in the control of the countries bordering Tubo, Southeast Asia and South Asia. The Fourth Military Region is the Southeast Military Region, and Lei Ming will serve as the commander. This Military Region will be responsible for the defense of the southeast coastal south of the Yangtze River and the war against South China island countries such as Australia and the Philippines. The Fifth Military Region is the Central Military Region, with Lu Fei as the commander of the Military Region. This Military Region will be responsible for the security of Kyoto and the security of the Central Plains. The Sixth Military Region is the Eastern Military Region. This Military Region is commander with Zhu Sansi as the commander. It will be responsible for the defense of the coastal areas north of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yellow River and the war against the American continent.

While speaking, Xiao Ming used his pen to draw the responsible areas of the major military regions on the map. This military reform can be said to be the ultimate military reform for him, because in the long years to come, these six military regions will strive to realize their mission.

Niu Ben and Fiji were already stunned. Throughout history, they had never seen such military reforms, but machine guns have appeared. What else is impossible?

What's more, from this military division, they saw the ambition of the emperor in front of them. Xiao Ming wanted to compete with the West for colonies around the world.

However, what makes the two more worthy of thinking about is Xiao Ming's appointment of the six commanders, Lu Fei, Ye Qingyun, Luo Xin, Zhu Sansi, Qi Guangyi, and Lei Ming.

Five of them were not surprised by Pang Yukun. After all, these five of them have been fought over the past ten years, but Zhu Sansi seemed to be in fact still in his opinion.

Fiji is also confused. Zhu Sansi is now just a division commander and has no background. How can he take charge of the Eastern Military Region?

"Emperor, Zhu Sansi was promoted to commander of the Eastern Military Region and could not help but convince the public." Fiji said first.

"Who does Master Fei Ge think is suitable?"

Fiji pondered for a moment, and he said: "In terms of qualifications, of course, Luo Hong is the most suitable, and it is also what everyone hopes for."
