Chapter 1725 Liu Fang, who is not stingy
At this time, no one is entangled in the four words of reckless military force, and no one dares to argue on the basis of reason and put forward the reason for insufficient financial resources.
This is an unprecedented mobilization of the whole nation, just as Wu Zheng said at the meeting, the huge wheel is rolling, and whoever dares to stand in the way will be crushed!
But it would be inaccurate to say that there was not a hint of noise from the attendees.
It's just that there are too many people who have to put the noise in their hearts.
But there are also those who are not stingy, such as Liu Fang, who "challenged" Wu Zheng at the end of the meeting.
Because he finally understood the particularity of the "Hengyang Wei Commander", this special is indeed too special, so special that Liu Fang's face that could not be cut into it with a knife is burned red.
He also understood the title of "appeasing generals", which made people laugh, and even understood that his military position was so "humble" in front of these famous and outstanding generals.
Liu Fang was not convinced, he thought that his military exploits were enough to leave a name in history and be praised by thousands of people.
So, he challenged Wu Zheng in front of all the attendees, including General Chi, who he was convinced of.
Liu Fang said so, "Lord Wang, you are too much of a bully...... Three kings, kill two and capture one, no matter which dynasty or generation Liu's credit is placed in, it is all worthy of being crowned king and knighted and given a thumbs up...... The commander of the five grades, and the ...... Tut-tut Fufu general, Liu has no face to go back to see people...... Lord Wang, you are not so bullying! ”
The eyes of all the participants were on Wu Zheng, and they were observing Wu Zheng's reaction.
There are generals who followed Wu Zheng's rise, generals who defected halfway, and officials and generals of the Jianxing Dynasty who were not on Wu Zheng's side.
They were all observing Wu Zheng.
Liu Fang is just a gangster, everyone knows this.
But his credit is indeed too "scary".
If the credit is divided and given to anyone, then there are at least a few more princes in the evaluation.
This is not an isolated incident, but a wind direction, a political wind direction, which determines the criteria for the division of power among various strata and forces in the future.
No one doubts the power of His Royal Highness King Wu, at this time, if there are still people who doubt the power of His Royal Highness King Wu, then this person must have his brain in water, no, his brain is soaked in water, and it has been soaked not for a day or two, but for a year and a half.
But can King Wu be crowned king?
Of course not, even if it is to seal Liu and put a county king.
Everyone is observing, and there is even a dark psychology of eating melons and watching dramas, afraid that things will not be big.
Indeed, Wu Zheng suddenly characterized this battle as a national war, which hurt the interests of many people.
Perhaps, this is also a silent countermeasure to Wu Zheng's "covering the sky with one hand".
……。
However, to the disappointment of many.
Wu Zheng didn't care about Liu Fang's "arrogance".
Not only did he not care, but he announced on the spot that in the name of the general, Jin Liu Fang was the general of Zhaoyong.
This general position is a general position, and it is a three-grade scattered rank.
At the same time, Wu Zheng used the power of Wu Wang Wang Jue and Linji to be good at it, and awarded Liu Fang the lieutenant of the light car, from the third rank.
In this way, coupled with Liu Fang's actual position in Hengyangwei, it can be said that officials, scatters, and honors are all available.
In other words, from this moment on, Liu Fang is a serious senior general of the Jianxing Dynasty.
Everyone was surprised, this was Wu Zheng once again subverting the Ming ancestral system, and it was even more unscrupulous.
Because since the beginning of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Minglu has been a father-son inheritance.
There is a saying that "dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rat sons will make holes", and everyone, since their ancestors, has been naturalized.
This registration not only refers to the household registration, but also includes the professional registration, such as the upper, middle, and lower nine streams, the lower nine streams, the yacha, bang, the time demon, the dog beater, the porter, the high platform, the blow, the circus, and the prostitute, and must not be promoted to the middle and ninth stream.
The middle and ninth stream Tong Xian, Xiang Ming, Lang Zhong, Danqing, hermit, qin and chess, monks, Taoists, and nuns are never allowed to enter the upper nine streams.
It can be said that the layers are distinct.
So, like a servant, it sounds like an official, but he can never become an official.
Liu Fang was born in the ninth rank, whether it was a gangster in Hengyang or an errand of the Inspection Department, he was not allowed to become a serious official.
There's a world of difference.
But Wu Zheng, with a wave of his hand, easily shattered it, who was not shocked, and realized that Wu Zheng's power was only one step away from that position...... No, it's actually just a piece of paper.
It is for this reason that after Wu Zheng announced the promotion of Liu Fang, everyone praised the "wise prince" and congratulated Liu Fang "enthusiastically".
Liu Fang naturally didn't know, and he didn't care if he knew.
At least he is satisfied in the moment.
He felt that His Royal Highness King Wu was still wise and an object of loyalty.
Therefore, Liu Yishou, who originally wanted to ask for food-saturated equipment and ammunition from Wu Zheng, actually did not say a word after the meeting.
……。
The nature of the war has changed, but the strength and situation will not change because of the change in the nature of the war.
The Financial Secretary remains stretched.
The output of military workshops has reached its limit.
Even if the whole people are mobilized after the meeting, the newly recruited soldiers will not be able to get weapons and equipment in the short term.
The sailors' grain purchase fleets to Annam, Sarawak, Brunei, and Luzon returned for the first time, and only brought hundreds of thousands of stone of grain.
Wu Zheng pinned high hopes on him and sent Ma Shiying to Bashu to buy grain, but Li Dingguo politely refused.
This cannot be blamed for Li Dingguo's selfishness, but the whole army of the Great Western Army was dispatched, and its size was even larger than that of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the Great General's Mansion was not enough to eat, and the Great Western Army was even more inadequate.
Li Dingguo did not send someone to ask Wu Zheng for food, so he could already be regarded as understanding Wu Zheng's difficulties.
The shares of the weaving division have been thrown, and I heard that there is a lake of rich businessmen who have thrown tens of millions of fortunes and swallowed two percent of the shares of the weaving division.
But silver cannot be turned into food and weapons at once, or even thrown in large quantities, it will only cause prices to skyrocket.
The five million silver dollars were snapped up by the people of the 29 prefectures of the Jianxing Dynasty, bringing nearly two million taels of "profits", but it still could not quench the hunger and thirst of the Financial Secretary.
If the Huai'an Conference was a milestone in the transformation of the Jianxing Dynasty into the Northern Expedition, then, in fact, it was at most a spiritual mobilization meeting.
At this time, Wu Zheng lacked everything, food, cloth, copper and iron, etc., there was no shortage of food.
And the shortage of materials is definitely an astronomical amount.
Three directions, just like three "howling" children to be fed, if they are not fed, they will not grow up.
But the secret constraints from the civil and official family made Wu Zheng feel a little powerless.
Oppose it openly and easily prevent it, come secretly, sincerely, tired!
