Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 8 Military System
The atmosphere in the study room became extraordinarily dignified. The huge pressure made the three of them deeply feel the taste of being shy, especially Wufeng. Expansion, whether it is the expansion of influence in the countries of the Western Regions, the infiltration of Nanjie Rock's forces, or the complete victory in India some time ago, all of these can be said to be a matter of course, not to mention the generals under his command, even I also feel a little smug. Su Qin's trip to the south of the Yangtze River has left him with one less person who can clearly see the changes in the surrounding situation. I am afraid that what I have done has long been seen by the Luobei people and the Sisiluo people. I kept it in my eyes and my heart, the enemy's endurance has to be said, and finally I waited for the opportunity to take advantage of my full strength to give myself a trick from behind, even Wufeng himself had to admit the opponent's move Well done indeed. Although this put him in an extremely embarrassing situation, Wufeng still admired the enemy's poisonous move.
The two were speechless for a while, Wufeng's face was gloomy, but he was quite calm, and there was no strange color in his pair of tiger eyes, and he said after a while: "It's more than that. After leaving Feng Qi, the entire Hanzhong Taiping Sect defender surrendered to Lin Guowei. It is estimated that the defense handover of Hanzhong Fucheng has been completed now. The two divisions of the Lin family have taken over the Taiping Army to take over Hanzhong Fucheng, and the other division is stationed in Hanzhong City. Besides, the Lang family has probably already made up their minds to settle with the Lin family in Hanzhong Mansion. According to the latest information, the Lang family has already sent two divisions from Tiannan County to Bashan. More troops."
After a pause, Wufeng said again with a gloomy expression: "In view of the changes in the situation here, I have ordered the Guards Division and the Independent Third Division to return to Qingyang immediately, and only keep the necessary troops to garrison. The passes on the west and north sides of Hanzhong.”
Xiao Tang and Su Qin exchanged surprised glances, and Su Qin couldn't help asking: "Don't you want to gain a foothold in Hanzhong?"
"Currently the Hanzhong prefecture has been occupied by the Beilin family. In fact, the Lin family has taken the absolute advantage. The Lang family is adding more troops to Hanzhong. I guess it will be difficult to end the Hanzhong war within three to five months. I don't want to put my What's more, the situation has changed, and everything needs to change with the times." Shaking his head, Wufeng sneered faintly, and his tone was firm: "I was a little negligent in the early stage, and I didn't expect that Besan, a Luobei man, would The Great General Zhengdong really has some tricks. He was able to join hands with the Sithrows to overthrow the regime of the Motts. It seems that I underestimated the heroes of the world, but it seems that God did not stand on their side. At least Guer Sufu's escape proves this!"
"What are your plans now, sir?" Xiao Tang has already sensed Wu Feng's implication from Wu Feng's resolute eyes, and he has followed Wu Feng for quite a while. Whenever Wu Feng shows this look, Xiao Tang knows that A sign that one's own master has made a major decision.
"Since the people of Luobei are not benevolent, don't blame us for being unrighteous. Since the people of Sithrow want to get in their way, if we don't cooperate with them, they will feel that they are not enough friends!" Wufeng said this When he spoke, he almost paused every word, and even Xiao Tang and Su Qin could clearly feel the murderous intent revealed between his teeth. It seems that this incident has greatly stimulated his master. Thinking about how to get revenge crazily.
"What should I do if I just face the east?" Su Qin didn't pause, and asked directly. This is an unavoidable problem, and it is also the core problem. If the situation changes, the Northwest may not be able to intervene.
After a moment of silence, Wufeng opened his mouth and said: "That's why I thought you two came here. I originally planned to make a thorough calculation before discussing with you, but now time is waiting for no one, and I can't help it anymore. A decision must be made immediately."
As if he was thinking about his words, Wufeng thought for a while, until the gazes of Xiao Su and the others had passed his face several times before he said slowly: "I have decided to carry out a reorganization of our army in the northwest. .”
Although the voice of the words is not loud, the words are thousands of words. In fact, Xiao Tang also knew that there would be such a day. Xiao Tang knew better than anyone what the important officials were thinking about. Fortunately, he had made considerable preparations in advance, so he was not surprised when Wu Feng brought up this matter. Su Qin also estimated this point. Faced with the situation in the Northwest that is so evil, blindly adopting a defensive position will only make the situation in the Northwest even more embarrassing. The economy in the Northwest is weak, and the finances cannot support such a large army. The only way out is to support the war with war. On the one hand, they can annex the rich surrounding areas and rely on the wealth of these areas for maintenance. On the other hand, they can also use these wars to train their own troops. The huge wealth seized has also laid the financial foundation for the current military expansion. It should be said that the time for military expansion is ripe.
Seeing that both of them nodded at the same time, Wufeng was a little surprised. Su Qin has always been not very supportive of military expansion, but his attitude is not firm, but Xiao Tang, the Northwest General Manager, is a firm opponent of military expansion. Why? Today, he didn't even have a word of anti-dialogue, instead he nodded his head in agreement, which can't but be said to be an anomaly.
Seeing his boss's strange gaze lingering on his face, Xiao Tang took the initiative to pick up the conversation: "Does your lord feel that Xiao Tang's position today is a bit different from his previous position?"
"Hehe, yes, I feel that your attitude today is very different from the past, but unfortunately I prepared a lot of words to persuade you two, all of which turned into superfluous, which makes me very disappointed. "Wufeng's face looks a lot better. After all, he can get the unanimous consent of the two giants on the government side without fuss. The ending is more satisfying.
"My lord, Xiao Tang and Su Qin are not people who don't know the importance. In the past, their subordinates opposed the random expansion of the army from the perspective of the overall situation of the Northwest. They are not personal prejudices or narrow-minded individuals as some people say Looking at the problem from a different perspective, the current financial situation in Northwest and Northern Luzon has improved greatly, and Lulong, Longdong, and Xikang have been brought under the control of your lord. Sir, temporarily assume the administrative work of the two prefectures of Lulong and Xikang, and in the eastern part of Longdong, I will first let Liang Chongxin temporarily implement military control according to your request, and ask them to follow the Northwest policy to regulate the economic and commercial activities in these three prefectures. The economic foundation of these three prefectures is much better than that of our northwest, especially Lulong and Longdong. Now our foundation is much better than the previous year and last year. Although it is not rich, it has also laid the foundation for the expansion of the army. A certain foundation; In addition, the economic income from the Punjab people can greatly make up for the remaining deficiencies. Although this is not a long-term solution, at least it has eliminated the financial hole for us now, and it is enough to support our military expansion; and the current situation is changing drastically. If there is no With a strong army as a guarantee, everything we have worked so hard to build will be greatly threatened, so my subordinates believe that the time is ripe for military expansion, and we firmly support your lord's military expansion!" Xiao Tang answered his superior's question calmly.
"That's right, my lord, my subordinates also share the same opinion as Brother Xiao. Now is indeed a good time to expand the army. Earlier, Brother Xiao had informed Lord Rao to make certain preparations in advance. However, due to time constraints, it may not be able to fully satisfy Your Excellency. It depends on the scale and plan of your military expansion." Su Qin also took up the conversation.
What he said was also true. As soon as Xiao Tang got the gold and jewelry from the Punjab people, the first step was to arrange for the War Preparation Department to buy horses from various nomads on the Tengger Grassland, not only the Mote people and the Luobei people. Rao even entrusted transit merchants to purchase at high prices from the Chidi people on the West Tengger Grassland; , Vito’s suppliers of various weapons, armor, vehicles, medicinal materials and other logistical materials placed large orders ~IndoMTL.com~ and directly delivered a considerable amount of deposits in advance. This unprecedented move directly stimulated the sensitive emotions of merchants and workshop owners. Nervous, many people used this deposit to expand the scale of production and recruit workers, which also led to the upgrading and expansion of a series of industries involving the military. On the other hand, Xiao Tang also realized the urgency of time, and without waiting for Wufeng's consent, he decided to lend a considerable amount of funds to the Shuangdui Autonomous Government to expand the development of the iron mines in the north of Shuangdui and to expand the iron mines in Shuangdui. Lu Man was overjoyed by the new iron smelting workshop, but he never understood why this boss, who always counts every penny, would be so kind.
Appreciative gazes turned around the faces of the two of them. Finally, Wufeng could confidently and boldly reveal his military expansion plan. A decision has been made, maybe this plan is too big, but it is better to get it in place in one step than half-step, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. The funds obtained are quite sufficient, enough to support himself for a while, otherwise Wufeng would not have dared to have such a crazy idea anyway.
Although they had been prepared in their hearts, Xiao Tang and Su Qin were still shocked by the huge scale of their superiors' military expansion. In their original thinking, the superiors would merge several independent divisions into the Second Northwest Army. In the past, Wufeng's idea was to draw elite cavalry from various ministries to form a heavy cavalry division. The status was similar to that of the Guards Division, and it was directly controlled by Wufeng himself. With the formation of combat effectiveness, with two legions, it is enough to fight a head-to-head battle with the Luobei people.
