After sighing at the magnificent and beautiful mountains and rivers in front of him for a long time, Wu Feng, who had never looked back, suddenly said quietly: "I wonder how long such mountains and rivers can be preserved in your hands?"
Except for Song Tianxiong, all of them looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what Wu Feng meant by his words. Finally, Sanders, with a gloomy face, asked coldly: "Why do you say this, sir?"
Wu Feng slowly turned around, glanced at the few people and said, "You must all be loyal believers of the Wuyi Sect. I don't want to doubt your beliefs, but as far as I know, the Wuyi Sect has no longer been on the Senger Plain. Popular, at least among the upper class, the nobles in power among the Hyderabadi people in the north and the Tik people in the south seem to believe in the White-clothed sect, but they hate the Black-clothed sect deeply. Now you Panzhe people have changed their masters again. , but the new masters have converted to the Black-clothed sect, what do you think they will think? Not only the Hyderabad and Tik people, but even the smaller tribes in the west are also in power of the White-clothed sect. You are actually in the White-clothed sect. Surrounded by the faction, in this situation that can be said to be extremely dangerous, I am very worried about whether you can survive it? "
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Wu Feng's words were like heavy drumsticks beating in the hearts of several people. No one answered them for a moment. It's not that they had never thought of this, but the excitement of gaining power made them temporarily forget what was going on behind the scenes. Hidden things, power is lovely, but maintaining this power requires considerable strength as a guarantee. However, the Wuyi sect has been in decline for decades. Although it is actively developing in secret, to be honest, apart from having some influence on the middle and lower classes, it has no influence on the middle and lower classes. It can be said that the upper class has no one else to support them except their own few families.
The cool breeze is blowing and the waves of maple trees are blowing. It was such a beautiful picture, but Sanders felt a chill mixed with it. Sandwiched between the two major forces of Hyderabad and the Tik people, I am afraid that the teachings of the Wuyi sect have disappeared before people can understand them clearly. Although the believers believe in them sincerely, they are really faced with the conflict between life and death and faith. When it comes to his choice, Sanders has no assurance that these believers will not succumb.
Seeing the gloomy faces of several people with hints of anxiety, Wu Feng ignored them and continued: "No matter the people of Hyderabad or the people of Tik, they are probably not willing to see a regime controlled by the Wu Yi faction in their own country. Appearing around us, this will undoubtedly encourage the Wuyi sect believers in their own territory, so they will definitely do their best to extinguish this emerging regime. I wonder if you are mentally and materially prepared for this?"
Sanders lowered his eyes and said no more. These questions should not be answered by him, but by the guys around him who have been talking loudly. As long as you enjoy the benefits of power, you should also think about the crisis behind it. This is a double-edged sword.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Kundan was still in high spirits even though he had been busy all day and night. He said with a smile on his face: "You must have something to teach us."
Shaking his head, Wu Feng declined politely: "I'm sorry, this is your business. I'm afraid I can't interrupt."
"But your lord, you can't just watch us being tortured and raped by the Tik people or Hyderabadis and just let it go, right?" Kundan said with a smile: "We are willing to follow your leader's lead and hope that your lord can show us a clear path."
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Feng paced in place and said slowly: "I just briefly browsed your ideas and feel that under the current circumstances, your ideas may be difficult to realize."
"Right now, the three cities of Jaipudu, Golok, and Selmes should all be under my control. The military operation is expected to have come to an end, and it's up to you to perform the rest. In fact, the entire area is now in a state of chaos. This is a power vacuum. My army cannot stay here for too long. You must enter your role as soon as possible and play the role you should play. I personally think your power base is too narrow, although I also hope that you can firmly control the power. , but given your current actual situation and having been away from the center of power for too long, I find it difficult to believe that you can control it, especially to organize effective management to deal with the upcoming external interference."
"In addition, I think the religious beliefs you proposed are also open to question. The influence of the Black-clothed Sect in this land is not optimistic. Once the White-clothed Sect forces collude with the remaining aristocratic forces, I think even if there is no external interference, Your life is not easy either." -
Those words were like cold water poured on the heads of the excited people, chilling them from head to toe. The analysis pointed out by the other party are all weaknesses and sore points of their side. Being rejected by the ruling nobles for a long time has greatly weakened their own strength. Except for the Rather family, which still has some strength because of its better disguise, the other families are all in vain, otherwise they will not be able to do it. We will unite at this time. And Sanders also knew that the other party was telling the truth, and the Wuyi Sect could only develop secretly in the middle and lower classes. Although it had achieved considerable results, in the Senge Plain, a land with strict hierarchy and aristocratic power, it had an absolute advantage. , the Wuyi Sect still has a long way to go before it can gain a firm foothold.
"In your opinion, what should we do now?" Sanders and Lasse exchanged glances with each other, convinced that the other party had no other intentions, and then they jointly asked Wu Feng for his opinion.
"My opinion is that the primary issue at the moment is to form a stable regime and re-establish a military force of your own to deal with various storms that may come. Your proposal to abolish the chieftaincy system and establish a parliament is a good way, but The restrictions on the Council you have set are too narrow. I suggest you expand the scope of those who can enter the Council to participate in the discussion. For example, some middle- and upper-class civilians who support the Black-clad faction and some moderate White-clad nobles." Wu Feng said calmly.
As soon as the last sentence came out, it immediately aroused strong backlash from several people, especially Sanders, whose face was ashen and dressed in a black robe without wind. "Sir, do you mean that we compromise with executioners like the White Faction? Let China Do ordinary people from the lower classes also participate in government affairs?"
"Humph, Mr. Sanders, please calm down. Think carefully, are your current strengths enough to deal with the opposition forces that may collude internally and externally? Even with my support, I'm afraid the outcome is 50-50. Count them. If I fail, I can leave, but you, I am afraid, will really have to leave your hometown. Expanding the ruling base does not mean that your power is weakened, and their participation does not mean that they can influence the political situation. As long as You retain the right to make decisions, so what’s the harm in letting them participate? A temporary compromise does not mean that the Black-clothed sect has given in. As far as I know, there are also several mainstream factions among the White-clothed sect, and the moderates have different understandings of many doctrines. It seems that they have something in common with your Wu Yi sect. They were also opposed to violence and suppression of your Wu Yi sect! You can have an honest exchange of opinions and seek common ground while reserving differences, so that your strength can grow a lot!"
After a pause, Wu Feng continued: "With all due respect, the Wuyi Sect also has congenital flaws in certain doctrines and rules. This may be the fundamental reason why you failed in the Baiwu War. I think this issue With the intelligence of Mr. Sanders and you, I shouldn’t need to say more, and you know it very well. I don’t want you to make the same mistake again.”
Wu Feng's words left several people speechless, and Sanders was even more surprised. He didn't expect that the other party knew so clearly about the White Crow War decades ago, and even how the Wu Yi Sect came from The reasons for the tragic defeat in the struggle can also be clearly pointed out, which can't help but shock him. It must be known that even the Wuyi Sect itself has only gradually summed up this most profound reason after so many years. However, as time has changed, the Wuyi Sect has lost its Without the foundation, even if they want to make some changes, those in power will not give them another chance. Now the situation is different. Opportunities are in front of us. As long as we have the power and make appropriate adjustments to certain doctrines and rules, Sanders believes that the Wuyi sect will definitely be able to develop and grow. Of course, the premise must be given a certain amount of time to demonstrate these changes. Sanders had been prepared for this a long time ago. He didn't expect that an outsider could see so clearly. He couldn't help but feel a sense of fear for the young man in front of him, a fear that came from deep in his heart. .
Seeing the uncertain look in Sanders' eyes, Wu Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and shrugged subconsciously, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Whether you accept it or not is up to you. I believe you can make a wise decision. In addition, I will keep my promise. Before your regime is established, my troops will not withdraw from the three places for the time being. But I hope you can see the situation clearly and take action as soon as possible. I think those guys may not give you too much. time, and I can’t stay here too long.”
At the end, Wu Feng blinked again and added meaningfully: "I really don't want to see the Hyderabadis and Tik people running rampant in this land."
It wasn't until the figures of several people disappeared into the distance that Song Tianxiong, who said nothing, quietly picked up the conversation and asked, "Sir, do you think they will accept your suggestion?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't accept it. The little power they have is not even enough to suppress the remaining opposition forces, let alone deal with the Hyderabadis and Tik people." Wu Feng's eyes flashed with a faint luster. , "It's a pity that our strength can't be spent here, otherwise I really want to have fun with the Tik people. This land is really tempting, and I'm really reluctant to quit."
Song Tianxiong was very clear about his master's thoughts. He smiled and said: "My lord, I will play hard to get. Pang Zheren is a good servant, but this servant is not very obedient and seems to be a little arrogant. After he is taught a lesson by outsiders, , he will know that wild dogs without owners will be beaten wherever they go.”
"Hahahaha," the two of them laughed knowingly, startling a group of herons returning to their nests to look for food in the maple forest at the foot of the mountain.
