Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 48 East and West

Shaking his head, as if he wanted to put these messy and disorderly thoughts aside, Wufeng tried to calm his mind, and returned to the problem in front of him, "Longdong is a strategically important place, it is indeed worth it. Pay attention to it, but I think the empire will probably see this, and will not let it go. I guess the divisions of the Imperial City Guards Corps are also staring at it. Under the order, we may have to withdraw obediently. And Bo Jinchen of the Taiping Sect will not fail to see the importance of Longdong Prefecture, and there must be countermeasures. The reason for sending troops to seize Zhegu Pass is probably to prevent us from attacking Longdong Prefecture from both sides. Let's go."

The three of them agreed with Wufeng's opinion, but felt that it would be a pity if they didn't take this opportunity to take down the Longdong Prefecture City, so they all smacked their lips unwillingly.

"Okay, here in Longdong, I think we can step up our efforts to collect information. If we don't take it down now, it doesn't mean we won't do it in the future. Since the empire is confident that we can take it down by ourselves, let's just stand by and watch." Feng thoughtfully said, "What do you guys think in Xikang?"

"I don't think it is appropriate for us to send troops to Xikang now. The land there is sparsely populated. Unless we take Xikang Prefecture in one go, there is no need to disperse our already insufficient troops. It is best to wait for the time to come. Conquering Longdong is the top priority." Long put forward his own opinion.

"I also agree with Zi Zi's point of view. Now our strength is a little weak. Both the Taiping Army and the Imperial Army have considerable strength. We can only wait for the opportunity at this time." Muliger also supports Long Zi Zi's point of view .

Hearing what the two said, Wu Feng felt very relieved. He was worthy of being the commander of his main division. Judging the direction of action by comparison, this is the minimum quality to become a commander in charge. It can be seen that these two people have indeed matured a lot in the past few years following me, but She Nei is a little edgy. It seems that they have more tempered His growth has been of great benefit.

"Well, everyone should rest when they go down, and they should arrange and arrange. Since this Partridge Pass is in our hands, we have to take good care of it. The logistics work, especially the defense, will be handed over to the Second Independent Division. Tuan, I think there is still a lot of defensive equipment needed here, and you'd better send someone to coordinate with the Combat Readiness Department in Shenei, so that they can deliver it as soon as possible." Although Wu Feng was very happy in his heart, he didn't show any signs of it, and just made a simple arrangement a bit.

Back in the study, he took the thick piece of information that Qin Shuangying handed to him. It was the information that Gu Dengyun sent back from Hanzhong. How could there be so many? Wufeng was a little strange in his heart, he took it, and after only reading a few words, he was attracted.

The lights in the study room came on, and Wufeng was still reading carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, obviously this information is very important, after reading it, Wufeng stroked his forehead and meditated, and even Qin Shuangying handed it to him. Chazhan didn't notice either.

"Brother Feng, take a break." Waking up from deep contemplation, Wu Feng quickly took the tea cup from the beauty's hand, subconsciously put it to his mouth and took a sip, but his mind was still stuck in the information that Gu Dengyun sent back superior. This is a summary of the Taiping Sect's information on various aspects of the Kansai region in recent times. It is quite detailed, and what makes Wufeng most satisfied is that a lot of Gu Dengyun's personal opinions have been added to it. These opinions are very suitable for Wufeng's appetite. , Some of the suggestions put forward were also quite practical, which shocked Wu Feng's heart.

There have been new changes in the situation of the Taiping Sect in the Kansai area, especially some new trends in soothing people's hearts.

First of all, the Taiping Sect changed the original statement that the land of the nobles and landlords should be confiscated and distributed to the poor believers. Instead, the land of the nobles and landlords who fled because they were afraid of the Taiping Sect was confiscated and distributed to the believers. Those nobles, merchants and landlords who maintained a good relationship with Taiping religion and were willing to cooperate with Taiping religion were protected. Since most of those who fled were imperial gentry with a large amount of land, and there was quite a lot of land left behind, those poor religious people also A relatively sufficient amount of land was allocated, and the interests of those upper-class gentry who were willing to cooperate with the Taiping Sect were also protected, so the situation in the entire Kansai region has become relatively calm, and the rule of the Taiping Sect has also been temporarily obtained among the local middle- and upper-class gentry. A certain limit of recognition is quite beneficial to the consolidation of the Taiping Sect's rule.

Secondly, the Taiping Sect has also adopted some new economic measures, such as reducing taxes to buy middle and lower class industrialists and farmers and farmers who own small plots of land, promulgated some regulations to encourage the development of industry and commerce, and punished the big nobles who had close ties with the imperial government. , Big landlords and big businessmen intensified their attacks on Lidu, confiscated all their properties, obtained huge funds, and laid a material foundation for expanding military power.

Third, some of the more extreme teachings in the original teachings were weakened, such as equalizing the rich and the poor, abolishing slavery, and strictly prohibiting the use of slave labor. Although they have not been completely abolished, they have won the approval of many people.

In short, these measures have greatly consolidated the Taiping Sect's rule in the Kansai region. Many businessmen have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Taiping Sect, and many people have expressed their conditional acceptance of the Taiping Sect's management.

In his letter, Gu Dengyun suggested that measures should be taken to poison the local atmosphere, stir up conflicts between religious and non-religious people, neutrals and pro-Taiping sects, and disintegrate from within In addition, externally, the economic blockade of the Taipingjiao-controlled area should be increased, economic exchanges with those businessmen in the Taipingjiao-controlled area who are willing to cooperate with the Taipingjiao should be prohibited, and special measures can be used to crack down if necessary, etc. .

It can be seen that Gu Dengyun has devoted a lot of effort to this information, both the introduction of the situation and the countermeasures taken are well-founded, and Wufeng can't stop nodding after seeing it, staying up all night.

Seeing the battle reports sent back from Longdong and Xikang, Bo Jinchen's heart was shocked. Li Wufeng really made a move, and he faced off against the holy army as soon as he arrived. It seems that he is still a little careless. One step, maybe the situation will not be so severe.

Sighing, Bo Jinchen stood up, the map on the desk was flickering under the oil lamp, the master and several envoys in the teaching had already left Kansai and turned to Heshuo for the north, Er Shao The teacher also went to the Machi Khanate, and the uprising in the north was imminent. All the Kansai affairs were entrusted to him. Serious consequences.

After carefully reviewing the information sent from various places in his mind, Bo Jinchen's thin face became more and more uncertain under the light. He has made up his mind to decline the "help" of the Northwest Army, otherwise Li Wufeng's army will not stand still, but it depends on how long the empire can last.

Bo Jinchen is still very confident in the defense of Longdong Prefecture City. The defender of Longdong City is his own favorite student, and has nearly 50,000 troops. The city walls have also been thickened and reinforced, not to mention some The measures have also improved the situation in Longdong as a whole. However, if the northwest army and the imperial army are allowed to attack back and forth, there will be danger. There is no trend in this regard, but it does not mean that the enemy will still stand still like this when the situation develops. In many cases, the situation will also change. Changes as circumstances change.

It seems that we have to consider Xikang's support, in case the Northwest Army will inevitably take advantage of the situation once the situation changes. Bo Jinchen was pacing around the desk while carefully thinking about the countermeasures.

30,000 people can't stand a battle and there are only 8,000 people left. It seems that the strength of the Northwest Army is still underestimated. If the imperial army is like this, I'm afraid I will have to admit defeat. It has to be arranged properly, and Li Wufeng must not let Li Wufeng take the opportunity to pick a cheap one.

Liang Chongxin looked at the urgent report in his hand with a gloomy face. This is an urgent message from Qingyang, and it was sent by a special snow pigeon. It seems that the matter is not a good one. What exactly happened that made Liang Chongxin look so cautious.

After reading the letter, Liang Chongxin felt a little depressed. This group of Western Region fans really have a good time. They actually want to set up a joint defense front at this time. It seems that they are impatient. This so-called joint defense front is too obvious. Well, it's not for yourself but for the Luobei people, what would the Luobei people think?

Now my battle against the Punjabs has just begun. I gathered so many troops and wanted to fight a good battle. It seems that I will fail. In the letter, my lord wants to take a look at the overall situation, and don't lose the big because of small things. The implication is probably that you should stop fighting the Punjabs in moderation, and don't push the opponent into a hurry. It seems that this ingeniously designed battle of mine can only be put on the shelf again. He smacked his lips regretfully, and Liang Chongxin glanced at the side and looked at him eagerly. The four of them calmly said: "What are you looking at? Go back and rest!"

"Boss Liang, what's going on?" Helian Botang stood up and asked in a rough voice.

"Yes, Mr. Liang, the boys are still waiting to fight a good battle and teach those Indian **** a lesson!" Shan Zhu, head of the division, said, "The battle a few days ago was like scratching an itch. It was meaningless at all. If you want to fight, it will be a big one."

Ignoring the two, Liang Chongxin directly ordered: "Come here! Go and invite Lord Lu Man to come, and say that I want to discuss with him and ask him to talk to the Punjab people about the ransom of the prisoners."

"Yes!" As soon as the soldier who received the order stepped out of the gate, the room seemed to explode.

"What?! Release the prisoners?!" He Lianbo jumped up first and screamed strangely: "What's going on? Why didn't you fight anymore? What do you mean by talking about releasing the prisoners?"

"Then what do you mean by that?" Liang Chongxin calmly turned his face and asked back.

This sentence made He Lianbo almost speechless, his swarthy face turned red, "I, what I mean is, Boss Liang, can you explain to us what's going on?"

"Yeah, there must be a reason. We worked so hard to design such a plan, and it just aborted without a sound. Uh, this, isn't it ``````?" Muttering to his lips, seeing Liang Chongxin's gaze sweeping over him, he had no choice but to take back the words that came to his mouth.

On the contrary, although the other two also looked puzzled, they didn't say much, but they looked over and were obviously waiting for his explanation. With a sigh of relief, Liang Chongxin said: "You think I'm willing to do this, don't you think I don't want to clean up these guys who are strong outsiders, but the situation has changed, those guys in our north are a little restless, we have to deal with those guys first Guys will do."

"Oh? The countries in the Western Regions are going to raise their tails again?" Linghu Yi continued.

"Well, I still don't give up. The joint plan at the beginning of the year was messed up by Su Qin. No, it's here again, but this time it's done in secret, and it seems to be to prevent us from noticing it. I don't know my lord Where did you get the information?" Liang Chongxin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "There is no way ~ IndoMTL.com~ Your Excellency arranges for everyone to obey."

"Then, isn't that why there is no need to fight?" Shan Zhu licked his thick lips and asked with a disappointed face. A large group of brothers under him pestered him all day long to ask for a war, which made his head dizzy .

It's no wonder they, who let themselves talk nonsense when they were recruited and selected, followed Mr. Li and had to fight, and if they won the battle, they could be promoted and get rich. Ordinary soldiers don't care too much about being promoted. After all, the number of officers is limited, not everyone can become one, but getting rich is different. As long as you win a battle, I heard that Master Li is always generous and never treats his brothers who have won battles badly. These words were exaggerated by his subordinates, the training of the troops became more and more arduous, everyone was holding back their energy, and waited for a quick battle with him, this is good, just caught up with the first battle, and it’s not enough yet, It's yellow again.

"Hehe, don't worry, the trees want to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. I think the guys from the Western Regions are also itchy. We need to scratch them. I want to see if the United Defense Front can defend us?" Liang Chongxin His words were also filled with a strong fighting spirit, and it was obvious that his plan was ruined by this sudden incident, and he was very upset.

"Master, do you think the countries in the Western Regions don't care about the Luobei people in the north when they set up this so-called joint defense front?" Qu Bo, who hadn't spoken all this time, finally got to the point.

The room that was noisy just now suddenly fell silent. Several people were thinking about this very obvious problem. The establishment of a joint defense front can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden forever. It's not a mediocrity either. Once the matter is over, the joint intervention of the two parties is enough to make the five countries of the Western Regions fall into a situation of irreparable doom. What kind of problem does this indicate?
