"I don't think you need to worry too much about the situation in Northern Luzon. Although the Luzon people have now occupied Shuangdui City, the area in Northern Luzon is too large. It is really difficult for them to control the situation with their existing military strength. If they do not get the support of the local people, their rule in Northern Luzon will never last. I have absolute confidence in our people's hearts in Northern Luzon, especially Northwest Luzon, and I believe Liang Chongxin should also be able to see this, as long as We need to adjust our forces appropriately, first stabilize the situation in the Western Region, break the alliance between the countries in the Western Region, and eliminate worries, and then mobilize the people's power in Northwest Luzon. I think it should be expected to regain Northwest Luzon. Of course, it cannot be If we take it lightly, if the Luzon people are allowed to stay in Northwest Luzon for too long, something will inevitably happen. Therefore, we must solve the problem in the Western Regions in a relatively short period of time, and then send our troops south to defeat the Luzon people in one fell swoop." Ling Tianfang On the contrary, he was less worried about the situation in Northern Luzon, perhaps because Liang Chongxin was in charge there.
"Well, Tian Fang, your opinion is exactly what I want. It seems that you have to play some role in diplomacy. If the Luobei people just sit and watch the situation change and remain indifferent, how can there be such a good thing in the world? They want to enjoy rights, but they don't want to Fulfill their obligations? I will let Su Qin convey my intention to the Luobei people clearly and unmistakably. If they think they are unable to intervene in the situation in the Western Regions, then please go away. I signed with them that the countries in the Western Regions belong to their sphere of influence. This article will be automatically abolished. If we take any excessive actions then, don’t blame me, Li, for not saying anything first." Wu Feng grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, but there was a hint of cold air between his teeth intentionally or unintentionally, which made him Ling Tianxin next to him also felt shocked.
"To be honest, I don't care too much about the gains and losses in Northwest Luzon. People are all inherently bad. Once they taste the sweetness of a wealthy life, if you want them to return to a poor and backward life, they will make every effort To oppose it. I had considered this when I spared no effort to support the development of Northern Luzon. As long as the living conditions of the various ethnic groups who have been in poverty for a long time can be greatly improved, it will be more useful than stationing a few legions there, and the people will support it. It plays an absolute role everywhere, but now many people can't see through this." Wu Feng sighed.
"Frederick's attempt to use military occupation to retake the land that once belonged to them would be too underestimated the power of local forces. Military rule that lacks a public base will not be able to control such a large area of land in northwest Luzon for long. Maybe he I didn't expect that even the people of the same clan as them might not support them. Hehe, I will let him accept this harsh reality." After swallowing a sip of coffee, Wu Feng stretched his body, stood up, and slowly Pacing, "On the contrary, we cannot take the issue of the Western Regions lightly. Once the countries in the Western Regions form a military alliance against us, it will be even more difficult to break it. It will be like holding a sharp knife on our back at any time. You can give us a sharp knife at any time, this is something we can definitely tolerate."
"Chongxin handled the situation in the west very well this time. He also put forward his opinions in the letter. I want him to do it by himself without waiting for my orders. The battlefield is changing rapidly. Sometimes, there is no way to wait for instructions from the rear. ? As long as the big strategic policy is in line with our intentions. By the way, last time you wrote to say that Taixuan Mansion has strengthened the training of a division's reservists, how is their quality?" Rolling his eyes, Wu Feng paid attention After moving to Taixuan Mansion, I came up with the idea of reservists for this division.
"Sir, this was organized by Fielding in order to strengthen the defense of Taixuan City. Now it has not even been established, and it is still a reserve establishment. You must not take advantage of these people." Seeing Wu Seeing the smile on Feng's lips, Ling Tianfang quickly said: "Sir, what you are doing is really a bit too much. Taixuan Mansion still needs a large number of troops to defend it. You also plan to withdraw troops from Taixuan. This is too much. The power cannot be too empty."
"Tian Fang, don't be a guilty conscience thief. I didn't say I would punish these people. I know that these people are of good quality. If necessary, they can be upgraded to form the Taixuan Second Guard Division in the near future. I just don't know about the Taixuan Mansion. Can the current finances support it?" Wu Feng joked while playing with the jade paperweight in his hand with a smile.
Ling Tianfang smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult. If the county finance can support it, the problem can be solved."
"Hey, don't tell me this. You can coordinate the money issue with Xiao Tang yourself. I think he has been in a good mood recently, so he should be able to agree. Okay, we talk to these people about official matters every day, so let's not talk about it today. It's business, come down and arrange for people to do what needs to be done immediately. I have been suffocated in Lulong City during this period. Let's go to the lively place of Lulong tonight for a good 'inspection' and just relax. ." Wu Feng invited enthusiastically, "Even this guy Mulige is pretending to be serious, and he doesn't even invite me out for a walk. Long Zizi is even more rigid in his thinking. They are all boring people with no training. There’s a future.”
The coach's exclamation made Ling Tianfang feel dizzy for a while. There were so many things going on at the moment and he couldn't afford to neglect any of them. However, the guy in front of him seemed to have no feeling at all. He was still thinking about such boring things. He really didn't know that this guy How can your boss have such leisurely ambitions at this time
Seeing that the subordinate sitting in front of him just sat there and didn't respond, Wu Feng could only shrug, "Since you are not interested in these things, I will leave it to you to handle these matters. If it's nothing important, don't disturb me. I'll be here tonight." Be sure to go and take it easy.”
A somewhat dirty smile appeared on his face, and anyone could guess what he was thinking. Before Ling Tian could reply, he walked out of the room and walked away.
"My lord, my lord!" Ling Tianfang, who had just woken up from a dream, didn't realize until Wu Feng's figure disappeared outside the door. He quickly stood up and shouted, but the guy didn't seem to hear him and disappeared through the door without looking back. outside.
Just when a certain guy led a large number of guards to wander around the major sex venues in Lulong City and fully experience the bustling nightlife of Lulong City, Ling Tianfang, who replaced him, was extremely busy. Now that the general policy was determined, Ling Tianfang no longer hesitated and galloped out on his fast horse. Snow pigeons soared into the sky and flew towards their respective destinations.
"Oh, Lu Long's Taiping rebellion has been defeated?" Situ Mingyue's mental state seemed to have improved a lot, but his thin cheeks and slightly tired face proved that he was still a patient.
"Well, according to our intelligence, after the Taiping rebels entrenched in Lulong occupied Heishiji, an important town in the south of Lulong, the situation in Lulong was already quite critical. However, the northwest army suddenly crossed north from Partridge Pass, which they had controlled first. In the Liupan Mountain area, the unprepared Taiping rebel army was defeated in one fell swoop, while another northwest army also set out from the Yangmakou Fortress in Bonan Prefecture in the southwest, penetrated directly into Lulongfu City, and took control of Lulongfu City." Minister of Intelligence. Zhou Baozhong spoke in a low voice while secretly observing His Majesty the Emperor's expression.
Minister of Military Affairs He Zhiqiu was also sitting aside, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
Situ Mingyue's expression didn't look strange. Maybe she had heard about it a long time ago. She just breathed a sigh of relief and moved her body that was leaning on the recliner. "Zhou Aiqing, how many Taiping rebels are currently gathered in Lulong?" how many?"
"Your Majesty, there are about 120,000 people stationed in the east of Lulong, not too far away from Anyuan Prefecture, but they have not made any movements now." Zhou Baozhong immediately replied.
"How is the progress of the Fourth Army?" Situ Mingyue asked immediately.
"All three divisions have entered the territory of Longdong, but there are now 50,000 rebel troops stationed in Longdong City, and the walls of Longdong City have been greatly reinforced by the rebels. An attack may cause considerable casualties, and Intelligence shows that there are also signs of enemy troops moving eastward in Hanzhong Mansion." Seeing the Minister of Military Affairs sitting next to him expressionlessly, the Minister of Intelligence replied hesitantly.
Looking sideways at the Minister of Military Affairs sitting next to him, Minister of Intelligence Zhou Baozhong felt a little relieved when he saw that the other party did not respond.
"Well, what has happened to the situation in Guanxi?" Situ Mingyue half-closed her eyes and snorted from her nose.
"The situation in Kansai has not changed much. Since the First Division of the Fourth Army withdrew from Lujiang, the entire Lujiang River has been controlled by the Taiping Rebellion. The entire Bashan Prefecture has basically fallen into the hands of the Taiping Rebellion. The Empire There are no troops stationed in the entire Kansai area." The Minister of Intelligence's voice became deeper and deeper, but he had to bite the bullet and tell the truth.
Maybe His Majesty the Emperor had already been mentally prepared, or maybe he had heard some news in advance from other channels. Situ Mingyue didn't seem to be too touched by the news. He didn't even open his eyes, but just nodded silently to express his understanding. .
"Zhou Aiqing, is there anything special?" Situ Mingyue opened her eyes slightly and looked very tired.
"Well, there is intelligence that the Machi Khans in the south seem to have made new moves, and the troops in the border areas are mobilizing frequently, but it is still impossible to verify what their real purpose is." After a pause, Zhou Baozhong felt faintly on his forehead. Sweat oozed out, as if he was debating whether to say what he said next.
Strangely, the Minister of Intelligence, who was a little embarrassed, felt uneasy in Situ Mingyue's heart. This guy must have some bad news, otherwise he wouldn't act like this. He composed himself and asked in a calm tone: "Zhou Aiqing, just say what you have to say. Don't hesitate. The situation is already like this. What else can I not bear?" His words were full of self-deprecation.
Gritting his teeth, Zhou Baozhong raised his head and said hastily: "Your Majesty, I have received news that the Japanese in the Atlantic are building warships on a large scale, and according to intelligence, the styles and structures of their warships are all imitated by ours. Imperial naval vessel." After saying these two sentences, the Minister of Intelligence had already buried his head, not daring to face the eyes of His Majesty the Imperial Emperor.
