Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 213: Crisis and Opportunity
"Your Highness, there is an urgent message from the north station!" Suddenly a guard reported.
"Say." Ning Wanjun nodded.
"The detectives discovered that the Shenzhou Army had left the garrison this morning and marched towards the west in a team!"
The news caused a tumult in the crowd.
"They are going to support the Western Territory!" He Guicai slapped the fan in his hand, "Is Leizhou unable to hold the local frontier army alone?"
The princess couldn't help biting her lip.
Xia Fan noticed this detail, "What's the matter?" According to reason, Qiguo's occurrence of this situation is definitely good news for Ning Wanjun's goal. The weaker the dynasty, the smaller the threat to Shenzhou, but the other side's expression seemed quite anxious.
"I... a partner who is also a teacher and friend, is serving in the Leizhou Frontier Army." Ning Wanjun hesitated and said, "With him sitting in the west, it should be impossible for Gao Guo to enter the hinterland of Leizhou. Yes. I have already made an appointment with him. If Jinxia had an incident, he would also respond in Leizhou, but now..."
"Your Highness——"
Xia Fan was interrupted by her as soon as she opened her mouth. "I know, I know all. I am worried that there will not be any changes to what has already happened. If the Bian Army is still there, he will tell me the news. If the Bian Army has been defeated, he should be able to rely on it. My ability survives. I have to focus on what’s in front of me."
Ning Wanjun said while regaining her spirit, "Counselor He, what do you think of the situation in the west?"
"The frontier army is in danger!" Since most of the princess's team came from the frontier army, her expression was more serious. He Guicai said bluntly, "The emergence of refugees means that Leizhou has lost counties and cities. Gao Guo The army can threaten these places, and it must have crossed Pozigou to the brownstone beach area. There should have been the home field of the frontier army. The Gao Guo has not been able to break through this line of defense in the past ten years. Now the line of defense has fallen, and the court has returned. The Shenzhou Army’s support was mobilized, and General Ba... must have gone wrong!"
"Where are the others? Do they hold the same view?" Ning Wanjun looked around.
No one opposed it.
"In that case, let me talk about how Jin Xia should take advantage of this situation." The princess stood up and said, "First of all, I will put the words first. We cannot support the frontier army, whether it is the army or the logistics. We don’t support our intervention in Leizhou’s war."
Xia Fan couldn't help but glanced at each other.
She was obviously worried about the partner's situation before, but when it came to business, she had completely suppressed her unnecessary emotions. Ning Wanjun is undoubtedly competent in the position of commander of the first army.
"The humble post thinks so too." Xu San focused his head. "The humble post suggests sending a team of scouts to Leizhou to inquire about the situation. By the way, you can also get more information from the refugees."
"Yes." The princess responded briefly.
"As for Jinxia City...our army may be able to take advantage of the departure of the Shenzhou Army to take another or two more territories." Xu Youji continued, "It is estimated that the big city will not work? But the county or township should be fine. Now Leizhou Has been chaotic? The court will certainly not take care of us, as long as the news is blocked? No traffic? It is not difficult to hide it for half a year."
"No." Xia Fan couldn't help but blurt out.
"Master Xia, why?" Xu Guerilla asked, arching his hands.
"That’s not governance? It’s occupation. The blockade will spread panic among the people, and it also requires a lot of manpower to stay there. If the locals don’t cooperate? Or there is resistance? What we can get in half a year, I’m afraid not Many."
The other party’s set is probably often used at the border. Xia Fan said in his heart that the scattered settlements can search for supplies to the maximum, but putting it in Shenzhou will do more harm than good.
"I agree with Xia Fucheng's point of view." Staff Officer He opened his mouth to help? "Honestly? Since repelling the Dongsheng Kingdom attack, what the army wants to do is not difficult. Just say hello to things that require the cooperation of the people. It can be done, and the remuneration can be given later. This is the first time I have encountered this situation. Now I really believe that Xia Fucheng's "New Jinxia" is not a lie? If it can, I think Shenzhou We should treat other places as well."
"How can there be such a good thing." Xu Sanzhong frowned? "If it weren't for the pirate incident that created a vacuum in the power of the government, it would be hard to say whether this Bureau of Comprehensive Affairs could be established. I naturally know that fighting for the people's support is Good thing? How can those local officials watch us decentralize power?"
"This...Shall we focus on Jinxia City itself first?"
"Then let go of this rare opportunity?" He bowed his hand to the princess, "I am unwilling to be humble."
"General Xu? How long will the Shenzhou army return after this trip?" Xia Fan asked him.
"The army will not move lightly? It will take three or four months to leave." Xu Sanzhong has obviously thought about this problem? "December arrives, and it may snow at any time in the west. If it is not an emergency, The Shenzhou Army would not choose to march for a long distance at this time. It is the safest choice to rely on the big city to obtain supplies and wait until the weather turns warmer before setting off to Shenzhou. Of course, these are all based on the smooth situation of the war, if the high country is difficult. Tangle a little..."
That means that Shenzhou will usher in a fairly long gap period.
It's no wonder that he is unwilling to wait in Jinxiakong.
Xia Fan pondered for a moment, then turned to the princess and said, "Maybe you can change your mind and do not rely on the army to complete the expansion."
"How is it possible?" Ning Wanjun asked in confusion, "Those local officials will not listen to my orders."
"My idea is...Let the Privy Council take the lead." Xia Fan organized a speech, "Non-state capitals will not set up a Privy Council, so these places only have contact points, or there is nothing at all~ IndoMTL. com~If the Jinxia City Privy Council wants to expand its influence, opening branches to other towns and even counties will not violate any prohibition."
The reason for only setting up a Privy Council in the state capital is very simple. One is that it costs money, and the other is that there are not so many questions and trials are available for dispatch. In addition, the princes do not interfere in local governance, so there is no need to share it. .
But Shang Yuancheng never said that this is not allowed.
"—but what you want to set up is not the Privy Council branch, but the General Affairs Bureau?" He Guicai's eyes lit up, and the swinging fan in his hand stopped. "If you use the name of preventing evil, whether it is Registration, publicity or assistance can quickly increase Jinxia’s influence."
"This is indeed the main idea." Xia Fan agreed, "Winter is a difficult season for ordinary people. I believe there is no shortage of good opportunities to increase fame. The military is not unnecessary, because the Privy Council is basically There are not enough alchemists everywhere, so whether it is dealing with small evils or deterring local snakeheads, an armed force is needed to deal with it."
"In addition, I do not intend to release only the civil affairs department. The Privy Council should still perform its own duties-to eliminate evil, or the source of evil." At this point, his voice deepened, "I don't know how many officials there are. Dare to say that you are honest and upright and have never violated the Daqi Law? If you just imprison them and report them to Gyeonggi for disposal, it is reasonable and fulfilling your duties, right?"
Even if the above does not agree with Jinxiacheng’s approach, it is difficult to continue to restore the stained officials to their positions. Once the staff is re-appointed, the gap during this period will be enough for the bureau to take over the authority of the government.
