Thousands of miles away, Bo Jinchen was still troubled. Exhausted physically and mentally, he increasingly felt that he could not control the situation. Whether within the Holy Kingdom or in the areas controlled by the Holy Kingdom, old and new conflicts appeared alternately. And there is an increasingly intensified phenomenon, but the Holy King does not seem to agree with his point of view.
The thick tea could not resist the attack of fatigue at all, which was a feeling of haggardness. Bo Jinchen seemed to be able to feel the difficulties and internal and external difficulties in recent times. Those stupid guys within the Holy Church were still shouting and demanding fulfillment. The empty promises made by the holy religion when they first preached, hehe, even the rich and the poor, everyone has their own land, their own house, their own family, the three policies, to change the privileges of the gentry to monopolize politics, but let these guys who don't even know the word Come to manage the place, do they have the ability? Bo Jinchen didn't know what the Holy King was thinking about, but at least the Holy King's ambiguous attitude had conveyed such a message. At least he did not object to this opinion, and even had some support.
Bo Jinchen is very worried that if we want to implement the so-called three-have policy, equalize wealth and poor, and reform politics, if some people want to gain something, then some people will lose something, which will inevitably lead to the consequences of their hard work. To maintain a barely stable situation, the nobles and gentry whose interests have been infringed will inevitably react strongly. And our own side, which is already very weak in terms of justice, may no longer be able to win over those nobles and gentry who hold a wait-and-see attitude. With their support, even some of the people he had worked so hard to win over would change their stance in an instant. He absolutely did not want to see this happen, but it seemed that it was not based on his will. However, under the current circumstances, Bo Jinchen could not see what would happen in the Holy Kingdom's control area without the support of these people and even the neutral fence-riding nobles and gentry. Even Bo Jinchen himself had to admit that he was too Having underestimated the power of the aristocratic class formed in the Tanghe Empire over the past few hundred years, it is obviously unrealistic to change it in a short period of time, but it seems that time is not on one's side.
"Prime Minister Bo, Lord Yu Yongzhi is asking for an audience." The guard's voice woke up Bo Jinchen, and he frowned slightly. Bo Jinchen immediately regained his usual composure, "Please come in."
Yu Yongzhi? What is this guy who thinks he has outstanding military exploits doing here? Bo Jinchen had no good impression at all of this guy who hung around the Holy King all day long and focused on pleasing the Holy King without caring about the reality. If he hadn't seen his unsatisfactory performance in the Battle of Heshuo, he wouldn't have paid any attention to such sycophants. However, since the Battle of Heshuo, this guy seems to be getting more and more favored in front of the Holy King, and his voice is getting louder and louder. Sometimes he doesn't even buy his own ideas. Bo Jinchen doesn't care whether the other party buys his account, but he won't tolerate it if his strategy is not implemented.
"I've seen Bo Xiang." A strong-looking man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in quickly. When he saw Bo Jinchen's gentle eyes directed at him, his heart jumped for no reason and he quickly saluted.
"Yongzhi, sit down, why? The front line is quiet. Do you have time to go back to the Holy City to see? Have you met the Holy King?" Bo Jinchen affectionately signaled that the other party did not need to be polite, and pointed to the seat next to him to indicate that the other party should take a seat. Qikou asked.
"Xiang Bo, my subordinate has just come from the Holy King. I have just reported some things to the Holy King. The Holy King wants to ask Mr. Bo to show me whether the subordinate's suggestions can be implemented." Although the middle-aged man seems to be respectful, he is so inwardly deep. A hint of arrogance was revealed without reservation.
With a cold smile in his heart, Bo Jinchen was a little angry even though he was so generous, but his expression on the surface became more and more friendly. As a military general, it was obvious that he did not report anything to the Prime Minister first, but went directly to the Holy King. It was a sign of contempt for his own authority, but Bo Jinchen didn't want to care about it at this time. He was more concerned about what Yu Yongzhi wanted to report.
"Oh? What's going on? Is there another problem on the Heshuo side?" Bo Jinchen first considered whether there was another movement in the imperial army east of Heshuo.
"No, Prime Minister Bo, the empire's army is already in the sunset. Although their third and fourth legions have been formed, according to the judgment of my subordinates, their combat effectiveness is probably far inferior to the original third and fourth legions. Even if we want to launch an offensive, we are still invincible. However, the city guard regiment is still entangled in Qinghe Mansion, so Prime Minister Bo needs to seriously consider it."
Yu Yongzhi's words were full of confidence, which made Bo Jinchen feel even more disdainful. At the same time, he was also a little worried. Jinzhong is the east gate of Heshuo, with the Qinghe Imperial City Guards in the north and the newly formed Empire in the east. The situation of the two legions is not optimistic, but this guy is extremely arrogant. If something happens, he will regret it.
"Yongzhi, be careful with your Wannian ship. You are blocking the east side of the river alone, so be careful." Although he knew that such words would be hard for the opponent to hear, as the military prime minister, he had to remind the other party that when he saw the other party's face, he became upset. Hey, Bo Jinchen still added calmly: "Don't underestimate the Imperial Army. There are still people in the Imperial Army who are capable of fighting, but we haven't met them yet."
"My subordinates are aware." Yu Yongzhi said something with great reluctance. Yu Yongzhi's face was already very ugly. He was not good at hiding his emotions. He was very dissatisfied with Bo Jinchen's words as if he was telling a child. He had experienced it himself. Although he was a veteran of many battles, He Shuo had been defeated by him through many hardships, but the other party always regarded him as a new recruit. How could this not make him feel uncomfortable
"By the way, what's new there?" Bo Jinchen finally returned to the topic.
"Some new problems have arisen in Jinzhong and Hejian, especially in Jinzhong. The coal mine owners are very cunning. They form a group and viciously squeeze and enslave the miners. They are not allowed to join our army and are very hostile to us. The previous paragraph During that time, their so-called mine protection team even killed several miners who tried to escape quietly to join our army. This aroused a strong reaction in our Crusaders, and the brothers all demanded that these stubborn people be punished. A lesson for mine owners, especially those who are domineering and domineering, they should confiscate their property and let them repay their debt with blood."
There was a hint of anger in Yu Yongzhi's brows. It was obvious that he also supported this idea. However, at the beginning of the founding of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, the upper echelons of the Holy Church had reached a consensus, that is, not to touch the nobles and gentry too much for the time being. Interests, as long as they do not openly oppose the major policies of the Holy Religion, do not openly resist the implementation of the Holy Religion's policies, first collect the family property of those nobles who have been closely colluding with the imperial bureaucrats, and at the same time try their best to win over some nobles who have a wait-and-see attitude, The lower classes who support the Holy Religion should try their best to appease them through spiritual means, supplemented by certain benefits in return.
However, this policy was full of controversy when it was first introduced. It also caused many conflicts even among the upper echelons of the Holy Church. In addition, this general policy also has considerable ambiguity in its specific implementation. Different places have different understandings of the policy. They all have many different understandings, and their operations are even more diverse, but in general, they basically operate in the originally planned direction.
But as time went by, many problems gradually came to light. In the Beiyuan prefectures, many believers who originally supported the Holy Religion continued to demand more distribution of benefits and to liquidate the nobles who originally rode on them. The situation in the Heshuo area was even more serious. Seeing that the Taiping Sect did not take too many drastic measures in Beiyuan, and all the things left by those who were timid enough to abandon their property and run away were returned to the public, many nobles from the Heshuo prefectures were After being occupied by the Taiping Army, they all chose to stay. Except for a very small number of families that were highly indignant in the local area and had close ties with the upper echelons of the empire, most of the others chose to cooperate with the occupying forces with reservations and a wait-and-see attitude, at least on the surface. Seek to preserve existing interests.
This also caused great trouble to the Taiping Army. If the original policy continued to be implemented, the remaining nobles would all appear to be respectful, but deep down they knew that most of them did not trust these new occupiers at all. The Taiping Army had to contact the Taiping Army purely to protect their original interests. This was a group of unstable factors. The Taiping Army, which had not gained much benefit, could not satisfy the strong demands of the lower class working people who demanded changes and obtained legitimate rights and interests. Even the own consumption and supply have problems. This kind of contradiction is naturally difficult to be accepted by local operators such as the Taiping Army. The intensification of contradictions must require a solution. This is especially prominent in Jinzhong, so there is Yu Yongzhi’s trip to Anyuan. No matter how powerful Yu Yongzhi is, he does not dare to easily advocate changing the policies unanimously determined by the Holy Church. He needs the support of the supreme leader, so he will report to You Daofang as soon as possible and put forward his own suggestions.
Hearing what Yu Yongzhi said, Bo Jinchen immediately understood the implication of the other party's words. There was no doubt that the guy in front of him supported taking drastic action against the mine owners, and he probably had the approval of the Holy King, but the Holy King Wang probably didn't want to get into trouble with himself, who originally supported the policies at the time, so he deliberately sent Yu Yongzhi to test his own ideas.
Staring coldly at the other party's expectant but uneasy face, Bo Jinchen's heart slowly sank. These short-sighted guys really thought that with the little military power and a bunch of fanatics in their hands, With his support, he could be called a loner in this three-thirds of an acre of land, but if the Holy King also believed in these views, I am afraid that the Holy Sect would be in danger. Bo Jinchen suddenly felt a little cold-hearted. Could it be that he had worked so hard? Is the good situation that we have created through so much pain really going to be destroyed like this
