"Before making a detailed plan, I must have enough understanding of your strength. Let me ask you and answer it." As he said that, Xiong Yan took out the charcoal pen invented by Guanzhong and prepared to record it.

Although Xiong Yan's memory is getting better and better, his habit of recording key information and thinking repeatedly has long become a habit of deeply rooted in his bones.

"What strength do you think you have now? Don't be anxious, say one by one, don't miss it, and don't exaggerate it. Now it's time to make a plan. If you exaggerate one point, it will lead to exaggerating two points in the plan, and the final result may not be satisfactory."

Upon hearing this, Confucius thought for a quarter of an hour before he began to answer: "First of all, there is a camp of ten thousand gentlemen in the army. They are all new Confucians. They all know literacy and martial arts. They are generally between the ages of twenty and forty."

"What about the specific strength? What about the organizational level? Where is the overall combat power of the army?"

"Well, every soldier has the strength of the Eight Banners soldiers outside the Pass. During the war, he can wear three layers of armor and walk as fast as flying. The army is extremely organized, and every soldier is literate, recognizes Qiu's new Confucian philosophy, and is willing to fight for his ideas. The army's overall combat power is extremely strong. Except for the Taoist soldiers who are not as good as those of fellow Taoist Sun Wu, it is the best in the world."

Confucius was still very confident in this regard. If he had no trump card, he would not dare to teach Chongzhen how to be a human being before Li Chuang arrived.

"Secondly, there are about 23,000 Confucian scholars who recognize my philosophy in the capital. These Confucian scholars, in terms of physical fitness, are uneven, high and low, some are without the power of a chicken, while others are already big and small. Overall, they are very good sources of soldiers."

"Although they did not join the Gentleman Camp directly, they were also deeply influenced by me and were considered their own people. They also supported me in serving as prime minister and saving the Ming Dynasty."

"Then it is Qiu's strength. Now Qiu can barely be considered invincible in the realm of blemishes. If the conditions are right, it is not impossible to find an opportunity to kill the main general and leave. As long as you don't encounter obstacles from fellow Taoists, killing the ordinary realm of blemishes is not much more difficult for Qiu than killing a chicken."

Hearing this, Xiong Yan always felt that Confucius in front of him was so violent!

Why do you, an old master, always think about riding a thousand horses every day, and killing thousands of people every day? No wonder your disciples are more violent than the other, and the source is all here with you!

"In addition, due to the secret method of the mind, many old seniors who have profound spiritual cultivation but do not have good qualifications have also joined the Neo-Confucianism. Their strength has rapidly improved. Now under my command, there are about seven or eight hundred Zhoutian realms and dozens of leak-free realms."

This number is extremely unsatisfactory. The Jinyiwei who had surpassed the peak of the times, and also surpassed the major sects such as Wudang and Emei. As for Huashan, it can no longer be considered a sect.

"By the way, these are just the strength in the capital. In the north and the south, there are also a lot of new Confucian scholars who recognize Qiu's ideas and practice the secret method of the mind. They have some influence in the local area and should be able to play some role at critical moments."

Hearing this, Xiong Yan began to envy.

If Wang Xu had the influence of Confucius when he launched the coup in the capital, why would he have gone overseas? It would have been long since been said to be a little emperor located in a remote branch and began to control the government.

The same thing, Wang Xu did, and the result was that the whole world was enemies. The civil servants called on all directions to serve the kings, and eventually defeated the Ming Dynasty. Confucius did it, that was the sage emperor ruled with his pride, and the radicals among civil servants carried out reforms, which was an internal struggle.

After recording this, Xiong Yan threw the charcoal pen on the table: "If I remember correctly, there are at least about 10,000 officials in the capital today, former officials, and about 30,000 scholars. As for the number of servants and guests, there are 20,000, which is the number of 60,000."

"These 60,000 people are basically literate and have excellent physical fitness. There are many extraordinary people among them. If you can understand the righteousness and then take the Gentleman Camp and the Warrior Camp as the main body, absorb the 60,000 reserves and a little training, you will be an army with considerable combat power of 80,000."

"With these 80,000 troops as the foundation, what are you afraid of? The Break Army is known as a million troops, but in fact, it is only 50,000 old camps. At that time, you find another opportunity and win a few random battles, and the people in the capital will be at peace?"

"So don't worry, even if you have zero political ability and basically have no political experience, as long as you can win battles, people's hearts will naturally be stable. Strength is the first important factor in politics."

"As long as you are strong enough, as long as you are so strong that people cannot resist, you don't need any means at all. There is no need to conspire and conspire on the outside. You can make a plan and post it everywhere."

The biggest benefit of digital administration is its intuitiveness!

When the people are idle, they can also check the plan to see if the court has made any progress.

When the people determine through their own observations that the court they are in has really achieved one small goal after another, their sense of identity with the court will naturally be greatly enhanced. This is like a cultivation game, which brings a lot of happiness and confidence to the people.

When Modi first fought the siege and suppression, the land of Guanzhong was really panicked. This was the influence of orthodox, righteousness and status in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Then Xiong Yan formulated a relatively simple but visible and tangible plan. Finally, when the imperial army arrived, the plan had been implemented for four months. In these four months, Mozi led the Momen to achieve at least 120 small goals, directly making the gentry, Huashan disciples, and ordinary people in Guanzhong full of confidence in him.

At that time, even the most depressed people felt that Modi had a way out. As for those who were positive and optimistic, they even began to think about counterattacking Beijing and occupying the dream of Ming Dynasty.

"You have to be more confident. As long as you delay for three months, there will be no suspense in this battle."

Speaking of this, Xiong Yan held an empty tea cup and gestured to Confucius. Confucius also poured Xiong Yan a cup of tea.

After taking a sip of tea and tea, Xiong Yan said confidently: "Sixteen years ago, when I was predicting the future of the Ming Dynasty, I once said this: The Ming Dynasty never lacked food, but what I lacked was a reasonable distribution method."

"Now, I still have to say that the hard power of the Ming Dynasty has never been weak. What is lacking is a reasonable mobilization system, a reasonable political system, and a reasonable financial system."
