Chapter 9721 Thoughts
Rongshan.
Zhang Tianyi expressed his concerns.
The imperial court’s spring offensive should be the most worrying thing for the strength of the Southern Witch Cult.
What they urgently need to do is to prevent Luo Fengtang from leading troops to attack Bozhou.
"Just think about it from that aspect."
Zhang Tianyi said.
“I’ve guessed this too, but what method will he use to stop it?”
Luo Fengtang frowned.
He is not a fool. He also thought of what Zhang Tianyi thought of, but when he thought about it more deeply, he couldn't think of anything.
"They can think of ways from the aspects of funds, ordnance, food, soldiers, generals, and the court."
Zhang Tianyi stood up and walked gently, holding his chin with his fingers as he thought.
"On the court side, the Southern Witch Cult should be powerless. Even if they infiltrate into the court, they will not be in a high position. As long as the emperor can always support Brother Luo, there will not be a big problem in this regard."
Da Qi court officials have always been infiltrated by forces from all sides, but the current Qi Emperor Qi Xingyun is not a mediocre person. Those important officials of the court have been investigated by hidden guards for eight generations. It is almost impossible for the enemy to do anything. To the level of an important minister.
So it is difficult for the Southern Witch Cult to influence the plans of the Qi court.
"General, if they want to assassinate Brother Luo, it will probably be extremely difficult for them."
The Southern Witch Sect should have considerable strength in Yizhou, but it is unlikely that they will directly assassinate Luo Fengtang, even if they want to It is also very difficult to do.
After all, Luo Fengtang was a rare martial arts master, and he had a powerful personal guard around him. If he was assassinated, it would be an evil act.
“Look at the funds again. The money is allocated by the imperial court. If the imperial court is stable, the money will also be stable.” Zhang Tianyi said.
“The imperial court only allocated part of it, and part of it was self-raised. Currently, it is self-raised in Yizhou.”
Luo Fengtang suddenly spoke.
In some aspects, he knew a lot of information that Zhang Tianyi did not know.
Since Zhang Tianyi is responsible for planning, there is no need to hide some confidential information.
Otherwise, it would be an injustice if Zhang Tianyi came to the wrong conclusion because some of the information was wrong.
"Some of it is self-raised... Then the funds are not 100% safe. I wonder where Brother Luo is going to raise funds?"
Zhang Tianyi asked.
“When I came to Yizhou this time, I brought a lot of bonds from the imperial court. I raised funds by issuing bonds and letting people in Yizhou buy them.”
Luo Fengtang said.
“Aren’t you collecting donations from the wealthy squires of Yizhou?”
Zhang Tianyi couldn’t help but ask.
In the past, when the imperial court wanted to raise money, it basically used donations, but this time Luo Fengtang did not use the same old tricks.
"If fundraising doesn't work, those wealthy squires will definitely cry for poverty. They won't give a lot of money, and they will hate the court privately... Those people are not very capable of helping, and behind the scenes The ability to cause destruction is not small, so the old methods will not work. "
Luo Fengtang said slowly.
“I understand, if we use bond issuance to raise funds, we can avoid many problems, but the consequence will be an increase in the financial burden of the Yizhou County Sheriff’s Yamen.”
Zhang Tianyi could spot the problem at a glance.
This is to transfer part of the financial burden of the imperial court to the local government.
Local yamen themselves also need to be maintained. So many officials have to pay their salaries, and all yamen affairs have to be handled. Corresponding funds are indispensable.
"That is for the future..."
Luo Fengtang said slowly: "If we can defeat Bozhou and destroy the Yang family in Bozhou, any financial crisis can be resolved."
"If we lose, Yizhou may not be safe, and the financial crisis will no longer exist." "Brother Luo said that no matter whether we win or lose, we can solve the problem."
Zhang Tianyi nodded and admitted that Luo Fengtang was right.
"In this case, due to funding issues, it may be difficult for the Southern Witch Cult to do anything. I believe that some people will buy the bonds of the imperial court, and I am afraid that the supply will exceed demand."
"Sent from the capital. The bonds were all redeemed by the previous imperial court, which shows that the imperial court has a high credibility, so the people of Yizhou are not afraid of the imperial court defaulting on its debts."
Zhang Tianyi saw that this was a matter of credit. If the imperial court had enough credit, it would be enough. Raise enough money.
"Take away the issue of funding, and then only ordnance, food, grass and soldiers are left."
"Ordnance, food, grass and soldiers should not be a big problem. It seems that the most likely problem is soldiers."
Zhang Tianyi Target locked.
“Why is it not a big problem for arms and food?”
Luo Fengtang asked doubtfully.
"Brother Luo is not from Sixiang County."
"The battle of Sixiang shocked the world. Daqi's new firearms became famous all over the world. Brother Luo's name became even louder. Ordnance came from Sixiang. How can there be any problem if the food is shipped from the city? As for the grain and grass, Brother Luo has already overthrown the county governor Wan Yiren. Wan Yiren has hoarded a large amount of food and should not have time to transfer it away. "
Zhang Tianyi. road.
"Brother Zhang is indeed very knowledgeable. You guessed it right. We found a large amount of food in an underground warehouse in the west of the city. All of them were accumulated by Wan Yiren over the years and he had no time to take them away."
Luo Fengtang said.
"That's easy to handle. In the end, there is only one possibility left, and that is the soldiers."
"The most likely thing for the Southern Witch Cult is to manipulate the soldiers."
Zhang Tianyi narrowed Close your eyes.
Now that he has found the best possible direction, Zhang Tianyi is spending time thinking.
He considered himself as the Southern Witch Cult.
"Soldiers, I plan to look for soldiers from four aspects."
Luo Fengtang said slowly: "One is the veterans I brought from Sixiang City, a total of two thousand people, these are elite Soldiers are veterans who have experienced life-and-death battles. "
Zhang Tianyi himself is also a soldier. On the surface, he is a wild man, but in fact, he has read serious military books.
In this way, he has both theory and practice, so he can be regarded as a qualified general.
“Veterans are the most precious. Two thousand veterans, in extraordinary times, can be expanded to 200,000.”
Zhang Tianyi said.
"These are veterans. Secondly, I will obtain soldiers from the hundreds of thousands of mountain natives."
Luo Fengtang said.
“One hundred thousand mountain natives, I think there must be something fishy among them.”
Zhang Tianyi frowned.
"No way?"
Luo Fengtang said.
“One hundred thousand mountain indigenous tribes, good and bad, all seem to be indigenous. In fact, they have different factions. There are dozens of small tribes among them, and there may be ethnic groups that have been completely infiltrated by the Southern Witch Cult. If Where the soldiers come from, it is very likely that someone will cause trouble."
Zhang Tianyi said.
"How can they cause trouble? As soon as they enter the barracks, I will disrupt them and manage them separately. They will not be able to cause trouble."
Luo Fengtang has a set of methods to prevent those who are determined to cause sabotage in the military camp.
