Chapter 785: One Side
Chen Zhihua was a little depressed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He also unabashedly showed this depression in front of Qin Feng.
"Your Majesty, what a chance!" He reluctantly said: "The Qin State is in chaos now, and the country is about to be ruined, and we haven't forgotten the internal strife, who will die if such a country doesn't die?" Your Majesty, after this village, there will be no such shop. As long as His Majesty gives an order, Chen Zhihua will vouch for his own head, and he will definitely be able to win Qingzhou County for His Majesty. ”
Qin Feng looked at the general with a slight smile, "Zhihua, sometimes our eyes can't be on the point in front of us, yes, if we march now, even if the troops are insufficient, even if there are problems with financial resources, we can still take Qingzhou County and obtain the war horse resources we dream of, but we still have to consider whether it is worth it?" ”
"Why isn't it worth it? Of course it's worth it. Chen Zhihua said a little excitedly.
Quan Yun smiled, "General Chen, fighting a war is not only a matter for the soldiers at the front, but also for the people in the rear." As soon as your army and horses move, it is ten thousand taels of gold, and to tell you the truth, these three wars have emptied our treasury. If the fight continues, the finances will go bankrupt, and then a series of problems will arise, and then it will be serious. ”
Chen Zhihua stared at Quan Yun, he didn't quite understand this.
"And we also have to consider the issue of value for money. If we were now facing the State of Chu, I would definitely not stop Your Majesty from launching an attack, because the fruits of victory after winning can effectively fill our deficit, but we are opposite the State of Qin. What else does Qingzhou County have besides war horses? ”
"What else?" Chen Zhihua scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and really didn't think of anything. I couldn't help but shake my head: "No! ”
"And!" Quan Yun stretched out his finger and tapped on the table, "There are hundreds of thousands of extremely poor people. If we take Qingzhou County now, we do have war horse resources, but in the same way, you will have to afford these hundreds of thousands of mouths. Moreover, these people are still hostile to you. General Chen, don't forget, Qingzhou County is the old nest of the Deng family, Deng Hong has been operating here for many years, and a large number of military families are concentrated in Qingzhou County, how many Qin people died in our hands in this war? Where we are, in addition to war horses, we will also harvest hatred. ”
"In this way, won't we be able to fight Qingzhou County in the future, because the hatred will always be there!" Chen Zhihua was dissatisfied.
"No, time will be a good medicine." Quan Yun said with a smile: "And now, these Qin people still have illusions about the emperor of Qin and the court of Qin, when this beautiful illusion is shattered, that is when people's minds change, and we need such an opportunity." ”
Chen Zhihua smiled bitterly: "When will this opportunity come?" Five years, ten years? ”
Qin Feng laughed, "Zhihua, you are wrong, one year, no more than two years, this turning point will come." ”
"Why is Your Majesty so sure?" Chen Zhihua was a little strange.
Qin Feng smiled and didn't answer, and Chen Zhihua didn't ask any more.
"For me, the war against Qin has come to an end, and I am about to leave, but for you, it is only the beginning of the next war. You want to make the most of this time. Qin Feng looked at Chen Zhihua and said slowly.
Chen Zhihua couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, this is the rhythm that wants him to sit on one side, just like his father did back then. History is always a cycle of reincarnation, his father has been guarding Kaiping County for many years, and now, this mission has fallen to him. Unlike his father, Yue Guo at that time was always on the defensive, and a small defeat should be won. But now, the form is very different, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides has been completely reversed, and it is the turn of the Qin people to worry day and night.
He stood up, bent down deeply and bowed, "Your Majesty, Chen Zhihua will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust, bow to the best, and die." ”
Qin Feng laughed: "You can't just die, otherwise your father suddenly returned from overseas one day and asked me for a son, and I couldn't explain it to him." ”
At the mention of his father, Chen Zhihua couldn't help but feel sad. My father insisted on following Luo Yishui to go overseas, but there was no news from him, and if there was really a day to return, it would be really good.
"Zhihua will definitely be a pawn for Your Majesty to attack the Qin State. Make every effort to obey Your Majesty's orders at any time! Chen Zhihua said loudly.
"Good, good!" Qin Feng nodded: "Kaiping County has been in the hands of the Qin people for two years, to be honest, it is really good for Deng Hong to lead the troops to govern the army, but when it comes to governing the place, it is far behind." Kaiping County has been completely deserted in the past two years, and I have been snubbing Ma Chao in the past few days, on the one hand, to make him feel urgent, so as to raise the initiative in our negotiations, and on the other hand, when I met with the squires of Kaiping County, I was also anxious about the current situation of Kaiping County. ”
Chen Zhihua nodded, "Yes, the current Kaiping County is not even as good as when it was still under the rule of Yue Guo many years ago, not to mention that compared with other counties in my Ming Dynasty." The Qin people only knew how to take, kill chickens and take eggs, dry up and fish, and did not know how to feed the people, although this method strengthened the Qin army in a short time, but in the long run, it was a failure. But now this black cauldron is up to us. ”
He shook his head and frowned.
"Kaiping County is the main battlefield where we plot against the Qin State next. Therefore, I am going to appoint you as the county warden of Kaiping County. Qin Feng looked at Chen Zhihua and said.
Chen Zhihua was stunned, "Your Majesty, I would prefer to lead the army." ”
"Don't be in a hurry." Qin Feng smiled and said, "This county guard is different from other county guards in the Ming Dynasty. You got on your horse to take charge of the army, and you got off your horse to manage the people, do you understand what I mean? ”
Chen Zhihua was stunned again, Qin Feng's arrangement was extraordinary, the Ming Dynasty pursued the separation of military and government, and those who unified the army were not allowed to meddle in political affairs, and one of the consuls was not allowed to concurrently serve in the army. Because that's what one side is waiting for.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the minister is not up to the task. Moreover, there is no precedent for this in my Ming Dynasty, and I am afraid that there will be criticism in the court. Chen Zhihua excused himself. If he does this party that manages the army and the people on the horse, I am afraid that there will be more people staring at him. His identity is different from those veterans of the death camp, and his identity is a little sensitive.
"Don't shirk." Qin Feng said lightly: "I know your worries, but since I dare to use you, I will not be swayed by a few random words from others." Now the situation is special, just now Shoufu also said, my Daming's treasury is empty, in fact, it is not only empty, but a lot of debts, Su Kairong is in a hurry to fall ill in Yuejing. ”
Quan Yun on the side said with a smile: "But when Your Majesty returns to Yuejing with this war indemnity from the Qin people, I believe he will be alive again." ”
Qin Feng laughed. "So Chen Zhihua, in this to two years, you don't expect the imperial court to give you too much support, you need to support yourself, this is why I let you hold both military and political positions. The imperial court has no extra strength, so you must use every power of Kaiping County to the sword. While the military is constantly being strengthened, we must not allow the people to have too heavy a burden. If I send another consul, then this county guard will inevitably fight with you for his own merits, and it will not be good. ”
"But?"
"No, no." Qin Feng waved his hand: "I let you unify your affairs and powers, just hoping that when the opportunity comes, you can make a final decision." If you're still worried about that, I'll have to change players. ”
"Chen Zhihua, Your Majesty's words have been made very clear, the reason why I chose you is because you do have the ability to stand alone, and secondly, because your Chen family has been in Kaiping County for many years, and the local people are inextricably linked. And this is only a stopgap measure in wartime, and once it happens, of course, you will be removed from one of these positions. As Shousuke, I will always remember it. ”
Chen Zhihua took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, the minister understands, for the sake of the Ming millennium plan, the minister will not be stingy with himself, and he will not dare to cherish his feathers." ”
"That's good!" Qin Feng nodded: "The Baoqing camp will stay and be under your control, Jiang Shangyan is a general with a lot of personality, but he is also a very capable general, his identity is a little special, but you can completely trust him." As for how to control him, it's up to you. ”
"The last general understands!" Chen Zhihua nodded vigorously, he got on the horse to manage the army, and got off the horse to manage the people, and the Jumu battalion led by his younger brother naturally couldn't stay in Kaiping County to help him, which was also a way of checks and balances. He wasn't surprised.
"Yu Chao's cavalry battalion will also leave." Qin Feng's gaze narrowed, "The affairs of the Qin State are over, but the affairs of the Qi Kingdom have just begun!" ”
Chen Zhihua was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty still wants to start a war against the Qi Kingdom?" ”
"It's not necessarily going to be a fight, but I have to make Qi Guo understand that this time they stabbed a hornet's nest, and someone Qin didn't get angry easily, but if he got angry, he would become a madman. Didn't the Chu people always hope that we could go to war with the Qi State? This time, I will let Qi Guo see it and provoke me casually. ”
"Join forces with the Chu people to teach the Qi State a lesson?" Chen Zhihua asked.
A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Feng's mouth, "Of course." The Giant Wood Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion, the Death Battalion, and the Thunderbolt Battalion in Izumo County will all be in battle at the Qiming border in the future, and if the Qi people don't give me a clear statement this time, then it's better to fight. ”
"Your Majesty has done a good job." Chen Zhihua applauded loudly: "People are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, Qi Guo has always thought he is the boss, this time let him understand that he, the boss, is not stable." ”
Qin Feng laughed. This time he wants to give Qi a little color, but not only to unite the Chu State, but also the Qin State, on top of that agreement, Xiao Qiang of the Tiger Prison Pass must also send troops, no matter whether Xiao Qiang fights or not, his soldiers and horses must also go out of the customs, just put on a look, and the Qin people have to face it seriously.
