Everyone knows that the Buddhist Kingdom and the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom in the Western Regions will not easily give up the two commercial towns that are making a lot of money every day.
Friction is inevitable.
It is absolutely inevitable for soldiers to meet each other.
Wu Yu brought up such an obvious thing at this time, leaving many people unclear about what Wu Yu wanted to do.
Wu Zhao seemed to understand what Wu Yu wanted to say, but Wu Zhao did not stop him and allowed Wu Yu to continue.
Wu Yu paused and continued: "If we really need to go to war. If we still have to give priority to Baijia College, then do we also have to delegate part of the military power to Baijia College?"
After Wu Yu said this, those who had not understood what was going on before suddenly all reacted.
yes.
If we need to go to war, do we need to hand over part of the military power to Baijia Academy?
Now that hundreds of colleges have the right to perform, it has already given them a huge headache.
If another part of the military power is given to Baijia Academy.
Then who can control hundreds of colleges?
Now the military power in the world cannot be touched by Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.
The military power in the hands of the prince and the vassal king can be taken back.
The military power of the Huwei Army was completely in Wu Zhao's hands.
Therefore, Wu Yu's words were clearly testing Wu Zhao to see if Wu Zhao planned to take back their military power.
When Wu Zhao was crowned emperor for 100 days, nine of them had presented military talismans.
But not only were they disturbed by Ning Chen, they were also given a favor order by Ning Chen.
This push order is still giving them a headache.
With the existence of this grace order, they must monitor the movements of their heirs and immediate family members at all times.
Wealth and silk attract people's hearts, let alone fiefdom.
It’s just that this is really emotionally hurtful and takes up too much energy.
It really made them miserable.
Having said that, the meaning of Wu Yu's temptation this time is very obvious.
If Wu Zhao does not handle this matter well, it is very likely to cause an internal mutiny.
"Prince Yu is right to worry. Baijia Academy does not have military power. If Taoist soldiers meet, it will be difficult to deal with them."
Changing the topic, Wu Zhao continued: "But regarding this matter, I have just thought of a solution. You can listen to it."
"Holy Words!"
Wu Zhao said: "I don't agree with the two commercial towns, and they should be handed over to Baijia College for management.
Although Baijia College has opened a business channel, the number of people is sparse, and it may be difficult to manage a business town.
So I want to manage the two shopping towns separately for the time being.
One of them will be managed by Baijia College, and the other one will be jointly managed by the two royal brothers."
Wu Yu and Wu Yan heard that Wu Zhao actually wanted to hand over a commercial town to the two of them for joint management.
They couldn't help but look happy.
Any commercial town in this area is a place where money is made daily.
If it were really managed by them, it's hard to imagine how high the profits would be.
However, the two of them also knew very well that Wu Zhao would not hand over Shang Town to them for nothing.
Wu Zhao must have additional conditions.
Of course, if the price of additional conditions is acceptable to them, then it is not unacceptable to them.
Wu Zhao continued: "The northern commercial town connected to the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is not far from the fiefdom of King Ang Qin.
King Ang Qin was also the master of business, so this northern trading town was handed over to Baijia College to take over.
After accepting it, it will be temporarily protected by the Huwei Army and the Border Guard Army of Prince Ang."
After a pause, Wu Zhao looked at Wu Yu and Wu Yan and said: "The Western Shopping Town, which is connected to the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions, needs to be troubled by the two royal brothers to accept it."
After another pause, Wu Zhao said with a troubled face: "The two royal brothers also know that the Huwei Army has just been reorganized.
The recovered combat power is limited, so it would be great to be able to help protect the Northern Shopping Town.
Therefore, the Western Shopping Town can only be guarded by the border guards belonging to the two royal brothers.
After Wu Yu and Wu Yan finished talking about the ownership of the Northern Shang Town, they knew what Wu Zhao was going to say next.
So the two of them have been calculating and weighing the pros and cons since just now.
To say that the interests of the Western Shopping Town are not great is absolute nonsense.
If nothing else, follow the algorithm just given by Wu Ang.
The annual profit of the Western Shopping Town is at least several million taels, and the annual turnover is probably tens of millions of taels.
The two of them only need to use their hands and feet a little, and each of them can get hundreds of thousands of taels of additional military spending every year.
These hundreds of thousands taels are enough for each of them to support an elite force of 5,000 men composed entirely of warriors.
The shortcomings are also very obvious.
Wu Zhao's doing this was tantamount to dividing their troops into two places.
Invisibly, it weakened their combat effectiveness.
If Wu Zhao really planned to do anything to them in the future, it would be difficult for them to unite.
But the benefits from Shangzhen are really very attractive.
Because he had thought about it a lot before, when Wu Zhao asked about it, Wu Yu said directly: "Being able to share the worries of Your Majesty and the Wu Dynasty is what my royal family should do.
But I just have a worry?"
"Brother Emperor, is it okay to say that?" Wu Zhao asked.
Wu Yu said: "If we go to take over the Shang Town in the west, we will inevitably divide our troops. After the troops are divided, how can we ensure the security of the four northern states?"
After hearing Wu Yu's words, Wu Zhao shook his head and said:
"Brother Huang has misunderstood.
I'm not asking you, brother emperor, to divide your forces and defend two places at the same time.
Rather, I hope that the two imperial brothers will take all the border guards and station themselves in Hezhou.
While managing the commercial town, he was stationed in Hezhou to prevent the Buddhist kingdom from the Western Regions from attacking Hezhou."
After Wu Zhao said this, Wu Yu and Wu Yan were stunned.
Not only were they stunned, but all the other civil and military officials in the court were also stunned.
If we just divide our troops, that's fine.
Now that you have removed all the people, what will happen to the four northern states?
The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is directly adjacent to the four northern states. Unlike Hezhou, there are some buffer zones in between.
By simply removing the two border guards under the command of King Qin, you are not obviously telling the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom that my border defense is empty now and you can come and attack me.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate!"
Wu Yu didn't even need to object to this matter, someone immediately stood up and objected.
Moreover, the person who opposed this was not from Wu Yu and Wu Yan, but from Wang Lin.
This is one of Wu Zhao's own people.
Even my own people are against it, which shows how inappropriate this is.
In fact, not only Wang Lin was opposed, but Lin Dunxin was also opposed.
However, Lin Dunxin was relatively steady. Seeing that Wang Lin had already stepped out, he silently took back his foot, which was blocked by the court uniform.
If someone robs him, Lin Dunxin can take a look at the situation first, and then decide whether he should stand up.
Wu Zhao interrupted Wang Lin and said, "I know your concerns, Minister of War, but I haven't finished speaking yet. We'll discuss it later with Minister of War after I finish."
Wang Lin also realized his recklessness and impulsiveness and repeatedly confessed.
After Wu Zhao signaled Wang Linping to stand up, he continued: "The military vacancy left after the two royal brothers left the northern border will be filled by the Huwei Army."
Wang Lin is happy to do this.
He is currently in control of the Huwei Army. The more territory he gives to the Huwei Army, the higher the important status of the Huwei Army is, and the more recognition the Huwei Army gets.
After hearing Wu Zhao's words, Wu Yu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, although the Huwei Army has recovered some of its strength.
But it may not be safe to close down the border now.
And after the Huwei Army leaves, who will ensure the safety of the state capital?"
Wu Zhao said: "Sooner or later the Huwei Army will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. This is the last time.
Let the Huwei Army go to the four northern states. If there is any change in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, it will be possible to support war with war.
Let the Huwei army go to the battlefield earlier so that they can understand the cruelty of the battlefield earlier."
After a pause, Wu Zhao continued: "As for those transferred state guards, they can continue to recruit new ones.
The Huwei Army now has clear measurement standards, and its reputation has been reversed, so it is not difficult to recruit new troops.
Coupled with the threat from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom and the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions, it is time to expand the army at this time."
At this moment, everyone understood Wu Zhao's plan.
First move the border guards of Wu Yu and Wu Yan to weaken their influence in the northern border.
Then transfer into the Huwei Army and transfer your confidants there.
It can not only guard against the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, but also monitor the changes of the feudal king.
Then the last step is to expand the army.
Increase the size of the Tiger Army.
Increase the size of the Wu Dynasty.
This also shows Wu Zhao's ambition.
Let those idealistic and hawkish ministers know that their place of use has come.
Although Emperor Shun was fatuous, he was trained by two generations of Ming Prime Ministers, Kong Jijiu and Lin Dunxin.
There is no shortage of ministers with ideals and ambitions in the imperial court.
Before, they had no place for heroes, but now after hearing Wu Zhao's hard-core proposal, they all knew that their spring had come.
Open up territory and expand territory, leaving a name in history.
What a tempting offer.
And at this moment, it really is a perfect coincidence.
The Wu Dynasty was suppressed by the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom and the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions for so many years.
Now that we have recaptured two commercial towns, it basically means starting a war.
There's a war here, but if you don't expand your army, are you waiting to be beaten?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Wang Lin was the first to say with his hands raised.
Then in the court, those who had ideas handed over their hands one after another.
Especially among the generals, the largest number of people expressed their approval.
Because of Emperor Shun, these warriors were basically idle.
His status was completely suppressed by civil servants.
Now that they have finally met such a tough Wu Zhao, they will finally regain their former glory.
You must know the Wu Dynasty, but it is not just called Wu Dynasty because the royal family's surname is Wu.
The Wu Dynasty relied on force to establish the country, but by the time of Emperor Shun, things were better.
Anyone can ride on top of these civil servants and scholars.
The reason is that their heroes are useless, isn't it?
More than two-thirds of the civil and military officials in the court immediately agreed.
What can be said about the remaining third.
All I can do is agree and agree.
"Since everyone has no objections, the matter has been settled. Let's withdraw from the court."
"Retreat!"
The eunuch said in a high-pitched voice.
After everyone exited in an orderly manner, Ning Chen, who had been silent in the court, asked Bai Yaoyao: "Senior sister, what do you think of Wu Zhao's performance today?"
Bai Yaoyao said truthfully: "It's better than I thought. She has ambitions, ambitions, and means. She should be an emperor who is good to both the Wu Dynasty and the human race."
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Senior sister, you can say this, it seems that she did a good job."
Bai Yaoyao did not answer Ning Chen's words, but changed the subject and said to Ning Chen: "The better she behaves, the more careful you will be in everything."
Ning Chen was stunned and didn't understand Bai Yaoyao's meaning at first and asked: "Senior sister, you are telling me to be careful, Wu Zhao will kill the donkey. She shouldn't be able to, right?"
Will Xiao Wu Zhao kill himself?
This is really not within Ning Chen's consideration.
Although Xiao Wuzhao threatened him several times, it was just for the sake of lip service.
He was the leader of hundreds of families, and from this point of view, Xiao Wu Zhao could not find a reason to kill him.
Bai Yaoyao said: "Wu Zhao will not kill you, but anyone who wants to kill Wu Zhao will also want to kill you."
Ning Chen frowned and asked, "Senior sister, what do you mean by this?"
"You have heard all of Wu Zhao's plans. Whether Wu Zhao wants to expand his army or Wu Zhao wants to expand his territory.
They all have a close relationship with your family."
Bai Yaoyao, Ning Chen will understand.
Wu Zhao wanted to do so many things, but he needed money and people.
Who can provide silver and money to Wu Zhao now?
Then there are only one hundred families of your own.
Farmers are responsible for producing food. When there is more food, the population will naturally increase, and at the same time, money will naturally come.
Then there are the merchants in your own family, which itself is a waste of money.
And when he had money and people, Wu Zhao wanted to raise an army.
Then it is even more inseparable from the military strategists among the hundreds of academies.
Therefore, these ambitions and ambitions of Wu Zhao are really most directly related to his own family.
It must be very difficult to kill Wu Zhao.
But killing yourself and the people in your hundreds of colleges is definitely much easier than killing Wu Zhao.
"Senior sister, if you put it like that, Aunt Min's side is very dangerous." Ning Chen said to Bai Yaoyao with a heavy expression.
Bai Yaoyao said: "Min Si's side is indeed dangerous, but it is not as dangerous as yours.
You are the master of the farm road. Only by killing you will it be equivalent to cutting off the farm road.
If you kill one Min Si, a second Min Si will appear.
In addition, the protection surrounding Min Si is already quite high.
In addition, Min Si himself is also in the fourth grade.
So the possibility of killing Min Si is very small."
Ning Chen was unhappy after hearing Bai Yaoyao's analysis: "Senior sister, it's so difficult to kill Aunt Min. How come it's so easy to kill me? I have a senior sister by my side."
Bai Yaoyao glanced at Ning Chen and said: "Compared with Wu Zhao in the palace, who do you think is better to kill?"
There is no need to compare this, it is definitely easier to kill yourself.
"If they even dare to scheme against Wu Zhao, will they still be afraid of you?" Bai Yaoyao said straightforwardly.
When Bai Yaoyao said this, Ning Chen felt a chill on the back of his neck.
It seemed as if someone was going to kill me at any moment.
"Sister, what do you think I should do?" Ning Chen asked humbly.
Although my current longevity looks like I can live to be three and a half years old.
But you can still work harder and live longer.
"Leave Fengjing." The advice given by Bai Yaoyao was also very clear.
"Leave Fengjing? Isn't Fengjing the safest place?"
Bai Yaoyao said: "The same principle applies, if someone dares to plot against Wu Zhao in Fengjing.
Then I will also dare to plot against you."
Then Bai Yaoyao asked another question that affected the relationship between Ning Chen and Wu Zhao as husband and wife.
"Do you think that if you encounter danger, the protective force around Wu Zhao will protect you first or Wu Zhao first?"
This kind of problem really affects the relationship too much, so Ning Chen decided.
"Sister, where do you think I can go?"
I don’t want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay.
"You choose one of the four borders." Bai Yaoyao said.
"Why go to the border? Isn't the border dangerous?" Ning Chen resisted every time he thought of the environment at the border.
Bai Yaoyao patiently explained to Ning Chen: "It's because of the danger that you can take away some masters openly."
"If it were a safe place, do you think the ministers in the DPRK would allow so much protection around you?"
"Those places that look safe only look safer because you haven't been there."
Ning Chen had nothing to say.
I can only start thinking about where to go to avoid the limelight.
Exclude the west side first.
Hezhou in the west is now the territory of Wu Yu and Wu Yan.
Neither of them can deal with him, so leaving his safety in their hands is not a good choice.
Then there's the south.
Ning Chen has already been to the south.
Although Prince Jing is in charge, the south is considered a safe place.
But the south side is so boring.
Those girls are not at all interested in handsome guys like themselves, who have thin skin and tender flesh.
After this elimination, only the east and north are left.
The east side is connected to the sea.
The main enemy in the east is the Kraken in the sea, but there aren't many other enemies.
To the north are the four northern states, and the threat to the four northern states is the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.
But I have never been to the east or north, so I don’t know what they are like.
I still have to wait until I go back and get to know the customs of the east and north before making a decision.
Ning Chen was walking like this, thinking about things, and didn't even notice Sun Banban waiting for him in front.
"Uncle Champion, Your Majesty, please come over." Ning Chen didn't react until Sun Banban spoke to Ning Chen.
"Ah, Sun Banban. What's the matter?" Ning Chen raised his head and asked Sun Banban.
Sun Banban repeated again: "Uncle Champion, Your Majesty, please come over."
"Okay, let's go together."
Bai Yaoyao naturally followed, and Ning Chen also hoped that Bai Yaoyao would follow.
After all, the palace is now a place that can only be said to be safe for Wu Zhao.
It's so unkind to yourself.
Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao followed Sun Banban to the imperial study room.
After officially ascending the throne, it is not appropriate to continue to stay in Myeongdeok Palace.
