Chapter 107 Chen Gong offers a plan!Fundamental question! Chu Jiang nodded slightly. Only in this way can we explain why the Yan court would appoint the king at this juncture, in order to send lobbyists over to carry out a long-term lobbying in an upright manner.
From the time when the two princes established the vassal state until the death of the ancestor of Dayan, this period of time was the time for the two princes to weakest among the Baizhan Hall is also a master of the Tongxuan Realm. If they can win over a few Tongxuan Realm warriors for the Yan court, the goals of King Duan and King Su will be would be even more of an unexpected surprise if he could win over Yuangang Realm masters.
In the Tongxuan Realm, he is already the top master in Dayan. Everyone in Dayan is an official of the third rank or the entire Liangshan Army, there are only two Tongxuan Realm masters, which shows that Tongxuan Realm masters are more powerful than rare.
"So Gongtai thinks, what should we do now in view of the current situation in the north?" Chu Jiang's eyes were on Chen Gong again, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Previously, they only asked about the general situation in the north, but this time they asked about strategies. The latter was much more important than the former. Chu Jiang hoped to get better strategies from this counselor to help Chu Jiang develop his power.
Chen Gong pondered for a moment, then bowed his hands to Chu Jiang and said, "Sir, I feel that we currently have two problems that need to be solved!"
"Those two, please speak on the stage!" Chu Jiang raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and his expression became serious.
"First of all, your Excellency has no foundation!"
"If we want to achieve anything, we need a foundation. The people are the foundation of the country! We need the support of the people. War is about logistics and national strength. Without the support of the people, there will be no source of food, no logistics subsidies, and everything will be impossible. .”
"The masters under your control now have begun to take shape, but they still cannot be called a force. The most fundamental reason is that they do not have their own territory, and there are no people under their rule. All logistical materials are provided by Dayan The imperial court provided that once they leave the Yan imperial court, the army under your command will not even be able to eat." Chen Gong said seriously.
Chu Jiang nodded slightly, "That's true, but now that Dayan and the Northern Liang King are powerful, we are not their opponents yet. Now hiding in the dark is the best choice."
"Your Majesty is right. The current situation is indeed very serious. However, the army cannot be exposed, but it does not mean that the foundation cannot be obtained!" Chen Gong said.
"What's Gongtai's clever plan?" Chu Jiang asked immediately.
"Sir, the entire northern border can be regarded as the foundation. They are all behind the Three Hundred Miles Fortress. Take Liangshan Prefecture as an example. The seven counties of Liangshan Prefecture are the foundation of the entire Liangshan Prefecture. The area of the seven counties of Liangshan is only the entire Liangshan Prefecture. Two-thirds of the state, but [-]% of the population in the north!”
"That's the best place in the entire Liangshan Prefecture. Most of the food in Liangshan Prefecture is produced there, and the soldiers in Liangshan Prefecture also come from the rear. Although there are not many troops in the rear, the entire Liangshan Army is deployed in the Three Hundred Miles Fortress. . But without the support of the seven counties behind them, the 15 Liangshan Army will not be able to hold on for long and will be destroyed."
After a pause, Chen Gong continued: "However, the most important foundation of the Northern Territory is the least noticeable existence in the Northern Territory, whether it is King Duan, King Beiliang, or even Baizhan Hall. , their eyes were all on the frontline army, and never fell on these foundations."
Chu Jiang looked thoughtful, and then his eyes suddenly lit up! Okay, he is indeed a counselor!
Chu Jiang didn't care about the seven counties in the rear before, because whoever has the military power will naturally have the seven counties in the rear. As long as he takes the entire northern army into his bag, the seven counties in the rear will naturally belong to him once the army arrives. .And as the old saying goes, if you station food next door and I station troops, you will never have to worry about running out of a large army at hand, there is no need to worry about having no way out! But Chen Gong's words woke up Chu Jiang. There was no land and no people under his rule, but as long as the army was there, he would definitely not be hungry, but only that.
But after mastering the territory, the annual income will be much two most important points of a force are strength, a powerful army, and powerful other thing is money. It costs money to raise troops, it also costs money to develop power, everything costs money.
Nowadays, Chu Jiang's command has a considerable fighting force, but in terms of money, he is still a poor battalion most money Chu Jiang has ever seen in his life was what a group of Youwu Guards snatched from a gambling house...
Nowadays, in the C-shaped military town, the iron needed by the weaponsmiths to forge weapons was obtained by the Jinyiwei from outside by robbing the rich and giving it to the poor.
Chen Gong was right, it was time to make money. All of Chu Jiang's income now comes from the salary of the imperial court. Apart from that, he has no other on the few taels of silver issued by the court, fortunately Cheng Yaojin and other summoned figures were loyal and would not rebel without salary. Otherwise, all the people under Chu Jiang's command would probably have rebelled.
Chen Gong, who was on the side, then said: "My lord, the leaders of the seven counties behind are all officials of the imperial court. They only have a few government officials and a group of government soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is extremely weak. Your Excellency can send Jin Yiwei to find out the details of everyone. , secretly controlling a group of officials and their families.”
"After that, he secretly took over the government office for his own use. Without disturbing the court, he secretly accumulated as much money and food as possible for his own use."
Before Chu Jiang could say anything, Cheng Yaojin on the side immediately clapped his hands and said, "I'm still waiting for you literati. We military men are all focusing on the army, but we have forgotten about logistics!"
Chu Jiang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. The strategy given by Chen Gong was not safe. King Duan and King Beiliang focused on the army and Baizhan Hall. This was an indisputable fact.
However, there are many secret guards and shadow guards in the rear, and the civil servants will inevitably be closely watched. It is not easy to control the imperial government under the noses of the shadow guards and secret to mention that there are King Duan, King Beiliang, and even Baizhantang behind this. If one of them is not good, it will inevitably cause a backlash.
However, with the presence of Jin Yiwei and Ji Gang, a strong master at the sixth level of the Yuan Gang Realm, whose real combat power is comparable to that of a great master of the Zhen Gang Realm, all this can be achieved.
A trace of determination flashed in Chu Jiang's eyes. If it can be achieved, let's do there is a lot of risk, it is worth taking a little risk compared to financial freedom.
Moreover, after the government office is controlled by his own people, it will be of great benefit to Jinyiwei. Not to mention anything else, the purchase and sale records of houses in the city can allow Jinyiwei to seamlessly integrate into the major cities in the north.
At that time, with the help of the government, the Jin Yiwei will become dark, and the dark guards and shadow guards will become light!
