I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 27 Cleansing the Major Families

In the vast land of Asia, there is a country called Dazhou.

Although unification was achieved on the surface, in reality it fell into a situation of warlords fighting each other.

The various forces are fighting against each other and no one is willing to submit to the other.

At the same time, the neighboring country Dongyang has been eyeing Dazhou, trying to find opportunities to expand its territory.

Qin Ruihua sat on the dragon throne in the palace and summoned Army Minister Chen Yixin to discuss state affairs.

"Minister Chen, we must take action to suppress the major families and ministers in the country."

"They are like cancerous tumors, corroding the foundation of the country."

Chen Yixin replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will immediately order the army to launch a suppression operation."

Qin Ruihua continued: "However, Minister Chen, we do not want to oppose all families and ministers."

"Some families are still worth preserving. We should treat them differently and focus on cracking down on those who are morally corrupt and have lost their humanity."

Chen Yixin nodded and said yes, indicating that he understood.

Later, Qin Ruihua mentioned the importance of military construction.

He told Chen Yixin that the formation of ten divisions must be completed as soon as possible, and that the military factories and shipyards had been completed.

At the same time, due to restrictions, only relatively backward weapons such as the 98k rifle and MG34 general-purpose machine gun can be produced.

Chen Yixin suggested that the caliber of these weapons be reduced to improve their performance and adaptability.

Qin Ruihua asked in confusion: "Minister Chen, why do you say that? Can you explain it in detail?"

As the Minister of the Army, Chen Yixin replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, if our own soldiers use this kind of firearms, there will naturally not be too many problems."

"Because they have stronger physical fitness and can withstand the recoil of this kind of firearm."

"However, if the local army were to use this gun, it would have a lot of recoil."

"It may not be suitable, which will greatly affect their combat effectiveness and combat efficiency."

Qin Ruihua nodded to show his understanding, and then said: "Minister Chen, I will order the scientific research department to design a rifle specifically suitable for us as soon as possible."

"And improve and develop the existing MG42 general-purpose machine gun, changing its caliber to 7.62 mm."

"In this way, all guns equipped by our army will be unified into 7.62mm caliber."

"After all, if the caliber is too small, not only will the power be insufficient, but it will also mean a shorter range."

After hearing this, Chen Yixin quickly agreed: "Your Majesty, this caliber is indeed just right, but I hope to develop a fully automatic rifle."

Qin Ruihua couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard the word "fully automatic rifle".

He knew very well that although this weapon was powerful, it consumed a lot of ammunition.

Qin Ruihua responded: "Minister Chen, if we use fully automatic rifles, I'm afraid our logistical pressure will be too great."

"I intend to have the Research Department design two rifles, one semi-automatic and the other fully automatic."

"Fully automatic rifles will be given priority to the five divisions at the front, while the five divisions at the rear will be equipped with semi-automatic rifles."

"This will balance the relationship between combat effectiveness and logistical supply."

Army Minister Chen Yixin replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Ruihua then asked: "Minister Chen, do you have any other questions that need to be addressed?"

Army Minister Chen Yixin replied: "Your Majesty, I have no further questions."

Qin Ruihua nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, then you should immediately handle the matters I have entrusted to you."

Army Minister Chen Yixin saluted Qin Ruihua and left the palace.

With the departure of Army Minister Chen Yixin, the entire Yan Country is about to face a bloody storm.

Army Minister Chen Yixin has ordered the direct dispatch of four newly formed divisions to various locations to suppress the major families and ministers.

This move caused an uproar, and the major families and ministers began to feel panic.

For a time, major families and ministers united together and tried to fight against the court's suppression by combining their strength.

However, their resistance was insignificant when faced with the powerful regular army.

These newly formed divisions are well-trained, well-equipped, and have sufficient experience and capabilities to suppress rebellions.

Amid this bloody storm, the situation in Yan State became tense.

In a certain large family, a group of family members gathered together with angry faces, shouting loudly:

"Chief, we can't stand this any longer!"

"The imperial court has oppressed us so much, we should rise up and fight them to the death!"

"Don't act rashly! I suggest that we hand over 90% of our property to the court. This may bring us temporary peace." Another young man said anxiously.

"We surrender today, but what about tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow? Are we going to let them force us every day? We must resist!" roared a young and energetic young man.

"But what power do we have to fight against the imperial court? Just relying on those servants and guards?"

"If they just send out a squad of soldiers, they can defeat us!" someone said worriedly.

"I think it's better to follow the court's arrangements."

"Although we will lose a lot of property, at least we can save our lives." A more stable young man persuaded.

Just as they were arguing, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps suddenly came from the distance.

An aggressive army was rushing towards their family.

Everyone was panicked and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy, saying that they were willing to hand over 90% of their property.

After a long and arduous battle and encirclement, half a month later, the major families and court ministers were finally successfully suppressed.

They were once arrogant and domineering, bullying the people, but now they can only face the judgment of justice helplessly.

As these evil forces were suppressed, a large amount of wealth also fell into the hands of the state.

The amount of this wealth is staggering, almost countless.

They will become an important cornerstone of national development and bring more benefits to the people.

At the same time, the bandits and other armed forces that once wreaked havoc in the territory of Yan State have now been almost completely eradicated.

They once brought endless pain and disaster to the people, and now they are finally getting the punishment they deserve.

Although there are still a few fish that escaped and hid in the deep mountains and forests, this cannot change the overall situation.

Now that military factories and shipyards have been completed, it is time to mass-produce warships, aircraft and tanks.

In Qin Ruihua's view, military strength should be put first, followed by economic development.

If a country does not have a strong military force to back it up, it will be of no avail no matter how much wealth it accumulates.

It's like what people often say: "If you hoard food and others hoard guns, your food will eventually become someone else's."

At the same time, gold from the mountains was being transported back to the palace in an endless stream.

In the future, Yan Country will develop all fields comprehensively.

Although it is impossible to have meat at every meal, at least we can ensure that every household can eat meat.

Not to mention that you have to have meat at every meal, but you can at least have it once every two or three days.

After all, Yan Country has a population of only more than 20 million, so it is not difficult to achieve this goal.
