Three days later...
Tianfu
Former Governor's Mansion.
It is now the residence of Qin Jinhong
Outside the mansion, a black military vehicle stopped at the door. Xu Zhiyong got out of the car in military uniform. The four soldiers at the door saluted: "Chief of Staff."
"Is the leader inside?"
"Chief of Staff, the regimental commander is inside now."
"Okay." Xu Zhiyong nodded and walked inside.
Qin Jinhong was looking at the map in the living room at this time. Xu Zhiyong walked in and saluted: "Captain."
"You're here, come and sit," Qin Jinhong said, pointing to the single sofa next to him.
"yes."
Xu Zhiyong took out a piece of paper after sitting on the sofa and said: "Captain, our army's casualties have been temporarily calculated."
Qin Jinhong's originally lowered head suddenly raised.
"Say it."
"In this battle, 3,760 of our troops were killed, 572 were seriously injured, 31,000 enemies were wiped out, and 6,452 were captured."
"The casualties are not small." Qin Jinhong sighed.
"Captain, although the casualties are huge, the battle loss of nearly one to ten can be said to be a complete victory." Xu Zhiyong nodded and pursed his lips.
"How is the prisoner doing?"
"Basically all the more than 6,000 prisoners surrendered. I had bullied the common people and asked them to go mining. The rest were dispersed to four battalions."
"Cao Yi revolted with more than 13,000 people, and they were also assigned to four battalions."
"Well..." Qin Jinhong nodded, then looked at Xu Zhiyong and said: "The pensions for the sacrificed soldiers must not be less, and the seriously injured soldiers must also ensure their livelihood. Please pay more attention to the work of their families."
"Captain, you always tell me this after every battle. Don't worry, I've already given you the order." Xu Zhiyong said with a slight smile.
"Our victory all comes from the people. Without the bloody fighting of the people, no matter how good our equipment is, it will be useless. We cannot forget them." Qin Jinhong took a deep breath and said.
"I understand, Captain."
"We don't have enough equipment now."
"It's not enough."
"Okay, the next batch of supplies is coming soon, and there will be weapons soon."
"There are still too few soldiers now. You should continue recruiting."
"Yes, Captain."
Xu Zhiyong then asked for a few more words and left.
…
After Xu Zhiyong left, Qin Jinhong opened the system that he had not opened for a long time.

"More than 80,000 reputation points, suddenly rich!" Qin Jinhong was excited when he saw the more than 80,000 reputation points.
"System, let's do ten consecutive draws first!"
"Ding... ten consecutive draws are ready..."
"Ding... ten consecutive draws are activated."
"Ding...congratulations to the host for getting the Mauser 98k rifle*10000"

After all ten rewards were drawn, Qin Jinhong's mouth was watering.
"System, you are really awesome." Qin Jinhong couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"This is what the host deserves." The system said in a mechanical voice.
"System, can you exchange engineers in your system? The kind of engineers who can make firearms." Qin Jinhong suddenly thought of this question.
"The character panel has been opened for the host."
"Character panel? And this section? I didn't even notice it."
"The host is just stupid."
Qin Jinhong:......
Qin Jinhong was speechless and then looked at the character panel.
Rifle Development Engineer: 1000 reputation points.
Submachine gun development engineer: 2000 reputation points.
Machine gun development engineer: 3000 reputation points.

Qin Jinhong was dazzled by what he saw. There were hundreds of engineers with everything they wanted.
"System, will it be a real person after redemption?"
"The exchanged one is a robot, but it needs to eat and use the toilet just like normal people."
"So that's it." Qin Jinhong nodded.
"System, extract the equipment."
"Ding...the weapon was extracted successfully...it is expected to arrive in an hour."
…
Beijing.
Inside the hall of a magnificent courtyard house.
Zhao Wanfang was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back in front of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, I deserve to die." Zhao Wanfang cried with runny nose and tears.
This middle-aged man with his hands behind his back is Prince Cheng, the prince of the imperial court.
"Then why do you want to see me? Why don't you die?" Prince Cheng said a few words in a cold voice.
"My lord, I don't know where Qin Jinhong got so much equipment. There are more than 50,000 people. More than 50,000 people have not beaten him."
"Do you still have the nerve to say it?" Prince Cheng turned his head and looked gloomy.
"There are more than 50,000 people. Now the imperial court has started a war with the Northeastern Army in the plains of Hebei Province. The imperial court has been retreating steadily. My three divisions have also been wiped out. I originally thought that Shu Province was my retreat, but now you have given me everything. You messed up, what do you think I should do with you?"
Prince Cheng's tone could not tell whether he was happy or sad, he was very calm.
"Your Majesty..." Zhao Wanfang swallowed. As an admiral, he was one of the few people who felt pressure.
"I know Qin Jinhong. I was surprised when he went to Shu Province, but I didn't think much about it. I didn't know it was because your family had a conflict with him. In this case, I have to use your heads to apologize to Qin Jinhong. That’s it.” Prince Cheng waved his hand after saying this.
Then two soldiers walked in from the door and opened the two boxes in their hands. They were the heads of his brother-in-law and his wife.
"Ah..." Zhao Wanfang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I was wrong... I was wrong..."
"boom!"
Before Zhao Wanfang could say he was done, the prince went up and shot him.
"Take them down and send their three bodies to Shu Province."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After the soldier finished speaking, he was about to go out when he was stopped by a voice.
"etc."
Prince Cheng turned to look at a thin middle-aged man with a goatee next to him.
"Old Xing, what's wrong?" Prince Cheng asked.
"My lord, you were right to send the bodies of these three people, but I have something to say."
"Tell me." Prince Cheng sat on the chair and took a sip of tea.
"Your Majesty, now the imperial court and the rebels in the northeast have started a war. You are also aware of the situation. It will be a matter of time before they attack the capital."
"Continue..." Prince Cheng's character changed from sunny to gloomy. Although he was very reluctant to hear such words, it was undeniable that what he said was right.
"Now that the Fourteenth Regiment can defeat the Eastern Sichuan Army and the four imperial divisions, it means that Qin Jinhong must have unusual abilities. And now that the Fourteenth Regiment is not independent, why doesn't the prince recruit him?"
"Um?"
"What do you mean? Stop beating around the bush and just say it directly." Prince Cheng looked at Lao Xing and said directly.
"I suggest you, Your Majesty, ask the Emperor to order Qin Jinhong to be appointed the Admiral of Shu Province and allow him to develop independently. With the abilities Qin Jinhong has shown now, once he is allowed to develop independently, no one knows how far his potential will explode."
"Moreover, Your Majesty, you did not have a bad relationship with Qin Jinhong. On the contrary, you saved his life. If the imperial court is defeated, Your Majesty, you will have a way to go."
Lao Xing's words are very straightforward, but very realistic.
"Saved his life? When?"
"Of course you didn't take action directly, my lord. The reward you personally gave him that time was his biggest talisman, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to go to Shu Province."
"That time..." After hearing Lao Xing say that, he became a prince and remembered it.
He stood up slowly and waved his hand: "Just do it."
After saying that, he returned to the back room.
