Seeing Kang Jianguo's hesitant expression, Bo Jinchen nodded slightly. It seemed that this rough-looking man had made a lot of progress after so many years of hard work. At least he could see through the hidden worries in the current Jeroke situation.
"Haha, Jianguo, don't worry too much. The Jerok people don't dare to turn against us yet. Although we only have one division in Merlington City, at this critical moment, even if the old guy Barrins wants to change the situation, He also has to consider whether the consequences of this behavior can be accepted by the Principality of Jerok, and which is more serious or less serious. I believe Barins can think it over clearly." Bo Jinchen was well-prepared for Kang Jianguo's worries, and the calm and calm look on his face made Kang Jianguo felt that he was a little too cautious.
"However, Mr. Bo, Jianguo has always believed that instead of letting the Jieluo people live with us like this, it is better to ask His Highness King Qin to marry Princess Anne earlier. In this way, there will be no phenomenon of one country and two masters in the Jieluo Principality. We It is also much easier to get along with the Jerok people. On the one hand, they have to join forces to attack the Kaman people, and on the other hand, both sides have to guard against whether the other party has other plans. This makes everyone feel exhausted. If In some specific situations, uncertainty will delay important events. If Lord Bo has the opportunity, you might as well persuade His Highness King Qin to get married earlier so that the old brothers below can settle down earlier." Kang Jianguo's words were straightforward and generous, and he did not hide his inner thoughts.
Looking away from the busy city wall construction site, Bo Jinchen paused for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something: "Jianguo, many things are not as simple as you think, and some things can only be said between us. Say, if you tell it, it may cause unnecessary trouble."
Seeing the other party's confused eyes on his face, Bo Jinchen realized that he had made some mistakes. Considering that he had not yet established a firm foothold in the Xijiang central system, his words were a bit out of line, but he had already said it. It was not easy to take back the exit, so I had to bite the bullet and point it out: "Jianguo, His Highness's marriage is not a trivial matter. At present, except for Princess Yutang, Miss Angel and Princess Anne have either explicitly or implicitly made a marriage agreement with His Highness. And there are rumors that His Highness seems to be more attracted to Lin Yuexin, the daughter of Lin Guoxiong, and his marriage to Mulan Hariqina of the Western Region. The complexity of this is no less than a war, and the emotional entanglements and interest disputes involved are not yours. It’s something that outsiders like me can understand.”
"Lord Bo, what you said has confused Jianguo. It is normal for His Highness to marry ten or eight women. What other problems could there be here? If Miss Lin is willing to marry His Highness, Of course, everyone is happy. If you don't want to, it won't affect His Highness's ability to marry other women, right?" Kang Jianguo became more and more confused as he listened. As a warrior, he certainly didn't know much about the various relationships and relationships behind each of these women. power, and this marriage represents the rise and fall of these hidden forces in the entire Western Xinjiang power circle.
"Alas, Jianguo, you have taken this issue too simply. This matter of marriage is of great importance, which one comes first, which one lasts, which one is right and which side is right. I believe that even His Highness himself can't decide for a while. He is the best person. Many times, you often cannot act according to your own wishes, but you have to obey the overall political situation, so this is a reality that His Highness the King of Qin has never been willing to face." As a military minister in the Taiping Holy Kingdom, Bo Jinchen has a deep understanding of the upper class society. However, the role of marriage in the harem is quite accurate, and even the boss's thoughts are not bad. However, as a foreign minister, it is best not to talk about these things, otherwise the pillow wind blowing out of the harem is often more violent than some political storms. If you don't pay attention, your own fate will be affected.
Kang Jianguo scratched his scalp and saw that the other party was vague in his words, as if he was afraid of a wolf before a tiger and a tiger behind him. He also felt something in his heart. When it comes to His Highness's personal affairs, many issues are not that simple as the other party said, and there are too many things hidden behind them. There are many conflicts of interests. As a soldier, it is best not to interfere with these. It is best to only obey orders from superiors, so he also deliberately changed the topic: "Master Bo, how are you planning to arrange the garrison in Jiama City?"
"Well, the status of Jiama City is particularly important. I plan to place two divisions as the main garrison force, and let the Jerok people leave 50,000 troops to help defend. This will be enough to deal with the Kaman people's attack and will not be destroyed in a short time. If a problem arises, as long as the two trunk lines remain in good condition and our mobile troops can quickly reinforce from the west and south directions, the Kamans will never be able to recapture the armored horses from us, and their southern defense system will also face us at any time The test of the light cavalry!" With a powerful wave of his hand, Bo Jinchen's deep and powerful voice became louder and louder as he went on, sounding extremely confident. Kang Jianguo couldn't help but nod his head again and again, expressing his agreement with the other party's opinion.
"Lord Bo, in the opinion of my subordinates, whether in Merington or Jiama, our military strength comparison with the Jerok people should be more appropriate, unless the Jerok people really become His Highness's territory." Kang Jianguo estimated that in addition to the Jiama City garrison, the Merlington garrison also had two divisions that could control the situation. Pushing the Jerok Guards to the front line of Jiama City was also a clever move. Kaman People will definitely not give up the armored horses easily, and there will definitely be no shortage of brutal battles surrounding the armored horses in the future. Let the Jerok people consume their vitality and ensure the absolute advantage of the Western Xinjiang Army. This is probably the opponent's real idea.
The word "mixed joy" is probably the most appropriate word to describe Situ Tai's mood at this time. Situ Lang finally responded and was willing to consider abdicating. However, there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of conditions. These are not important, as long as He has this intention, and everything can be discussed. The important thing is that after the news came out, the media and public opinion inside and outside the imperial capital unanimously remained silent. What does this mean? In Leng Qian's words, it is because the imperial nobles have adopted an attitude of staying out of the matter and even supporting him. Otherwise, the news media in the imperial capital would have been overwhelmingly condemning his behavior, which currently seems to be rebellion and betrayal. . However, I heard that the stinky girl Thirteen was insinuating accusations against me. After I entered the imperial capital, I would like to deal with this guy who claims to be a talented girl of the Situ family, and let her know that strength is the last word in the battle for the throne. This truth.
With the support of the nobles of the imperial capital, Situ Tai felt that most of the stone in his heart was relieved, and everything could become logical. Now he only waited for the envoy sent by Situ Lang to negotiate with his side, thinking that he would be able to enter the country in the near future. After taking over the imperial capital and becoming the new emperor of the Tanghe Empire, the joy and joy in Situ Tai's heart was enough to make him feel ten years younger. However, resistance is not without resistance. The strength of Lao Liu in the south is now expanding very quickly. This may be the first issue that he needs to consider after taking office as the emperor of the empire. However, this Lao Liu does not have a deep foundation in the imperial capital and the north. I believe he cannot stop him from ascending to the throne. In order to ascend to the throne, as long as he becomes the emperor and uses the name of unification to contain and weaken the other party, this should not be a problem. With the land of five lakes and one county, he will not even have to think about how much trouble he wants to cause.
What about the west? Li Wufeng, a guy who seems to be extremely submissive to everyone, may be the biggest disaster. With the help of his brothers' battle for the throne, he worked hard to develop and strengthen his strength in the cracks. His current strength is probably not inferior to his own, especially in terms of military strength. He is even more powerful. If he did not occupy the orthodox position of the Situ family in the Tanghe Empire, it is still unknown whether he could win against the other party. Situ Tai has never thought that Li Wufeng is a person who dares to be a bitch, but now the people are undecided, the western region is vast, and this guy has a big appetite. He can swallow a lot of places in one go, and it will take some time to digest. Especially recently, this guy has been aggressively raising troops to the Peninsula Alliance without revealing any information to the central government of the empire. The so-called Sulawesi Principality's well-intentioned proposal to reject the Western Xinjiang trade channel can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. It is just an excuse. This can also be seen from this. This guy is very ambitious.
Li Wufeng brought more pressure and urgency to Situ Tai than anyone else. This was also the main reason why he was eager to reach an agreement with Situ Lang and strive to ascend the throne as soon as possible. The expansion momentum shown by Li Wufeng may still be a problem for others in the empire. It's a good thing. After all, Li Wufeng is now focusing his main energy on foreign expeditions and seems to be suddenly not interested in domestic affairs. Being able to promote the prestige of Tanghe is something everyone in the empire is happy to see, but Leng Qian is not. Think so.
As his first think tank, Leng Qian pointed out the key point. He believed that Li Wufeng was keeping a low profile within the empire, but he was aggressively attacking the outside. On the one hand, he used strong military power to annex neighboring areas to strengthen his own strength; On the one hand, he used external campaigns to boost morale and hone the army. More importantly, Li Wufeng's image of winning every battle and raising the prestige of the Tang clan was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the empire. This move was more powerful and vicious than his direct participation in the internal struggles of the empire. Even Leng Qian deeply admired Li Wufeng's image project that he had started a few years ago. Subtly, almost everyone in the empire worshiped this man who was called the hero of the empire. This has been a great success in winning the hearts of the people. He had the upper hand.
Situ Tai did not expect Leng Qian's analysis to be so thorough and insightful, which also prompted him to want to ascend the throne as soon as possible in order to take measures to limit and restrain the further expansion of Li Wufeng's influence. However, some things cannot be rushed. In this situation, The mental torture made Situ Tai feel restless.
