At the meeting, Wei Zheng announced a decision on behalf of Liaodong Xingying.

The first decision was to disclose to the people of Liaodong that Yuming had been promoted to the king of Zhou, in charge of Liaodong's military affairs, and had been engaged to Princess Luoqi, so as to appease the people's hearts, so as not to have anyone talk about the Liaodong army as a rebel army and Yuming as a rebel, which would have a bad impact on Liaodong's absorption of immigrants and doing business with the Central Plains counties.

The second decision is to immerse ourselves in construction in the near future, and it will soon be the autumn harvest season. This year, Liaodong was also considered to be in good weather, and due to the strong appearance of the Liaodong Army, there was no major war in the region. The arrival of a large number of immigrants from the Central Plains increased the area of cultivated land and improved agricultural technology. A better harvest is expected.

At the same time, there were a large number of soldiers recruited from nomadic peoples such as Goryeo, Khitan, Heishui, Sumo, and Xi in the Liaodong army. It will take time for these people and the existing recruits in the army to form a joint force and eliminate the distrust between them.

Therefore, Yuming decided to establish a Liaodong Military Academy, where the chief generals of various armies and experienced senior generals in the army could serve as teachers to train grassroots officers. The content of the training is not only martial arts, but also various tactical drills, arranging troops, and commanding operations.

According to his meaning, this military academy should not only serve the purpose of training officers, but also allow soldiers of all ethnic groups to strengthen integration and become a rope by learning knowledge together.

The first decision is to determine the future development goals of Liaodong. Yu Ming proposed that at present, the development of commerce and agriculture in eastern Liaodong, the increase of the immigrant population, and the strengthening of their own strength will be the first priority. When the time is right, make a new move. Although he did not say it explicitly at the meeting, everyone understood that the king of Zhou wanted to march into Hebei after the chaos in the Central Plains.

After the general policy was decided, everyone's thoughts began to come alive. They have offered suggestions and tried their best to strengthen their strength.

Hu Sizheng first proposed that the top priority was not how to deal with the imperial court. Because Yang Guang suffered heavy losses in the battle of Yanmen Pass, the imperial army suffered heavy losses, and the 100,000 forbidden army was almost completely annihilated, and it was impossible to pose a substantial threat to Liaodong in the short term.

In contrast, in the future, the biggest enemy in the Central Plains is Luo Yi, Xue Shixiong and others. In particular, Luo Yi's Youzhou Iron Cavalry is located in the area of Beiping and Zhuojun, and if they are not subdued or eliminated, the Liaodong Army will always be locked up outside the pass and cannot enter the Central Plains.

In order to prepare for the future attack on Youzhou, it is necessary to occupy Liaoxi County first. In this way, the strategic depth of Liaodong City can be greatly expanded, and secondly, once the war starts, the troops can be under the city of Zhuo County and take the lead.

Now, in Hu Sizheng's view, what the Liaodong Army wants to capture Liaoxi County lacks is still a reason.

Because in Yang Guang's holy decree, Yuming is in charge of the military and political power in Liaodong. However, Liaoxi County also belongs to the Liaodong region in a broad sense. Although it is not under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Prefecture now, if Yuming wants to send troops into Liaoxi County, it is not impossible. It's just that there must be a reason that is not suspicious, otherwise it will immediately make Yang Guang and the imperial court look at Liaodong again. even raised the army of the country again to conquer Yuming.

Yu Ming showed an approving look in his eyes, Hu Sizheng was worthy of being an important minister of the DPRK who had served as a squire in the military department, although he had voted for Yang Xuangan, but he had a very clear understanding of the steps after the incident, the priorities of the work, and he was scheming, and he saw the key to the current problem at once.

So he said in a deep voice: "Si Zheng, according to your opinion, what should we do now?" ”

Hu Sizheng smiled and said: "The current county guard of Liaoxi County is Xue Shixiong, he was also a famous general in Hebei before, and his martial arts and combat ability are second only to Luo Yi. However, this person's weakness is that his majesty is not strict, although he himself has no problems, but several of his nephews are really not good, especially Xue Wansong and Xue Wancheng, who have long been notorious in Liaoxi County. ”

"Lord Hu, do you mean to start with these two people?" Wei Zheng said with understanding.

"Hehe, it seems that Lord Wei has also thought of it!" At this time, Hu Sizheng pointed to the road of Liaoxi County on the map: "Liaoxi County is dominated by Han people, with a population of only more than 100,000, but because of its unique location, there are many herdsmen of various ethnic groups in Liaodong in the county to sell cattle, sheep, war horses, ginseng and other things. In transactions, there are often disputes between local businessmen. Xue Wansong is the city guard who is responsible for mediating disputes, and Xue Wancheng is a merchant engaged in the fur business. What these brothers did in Liaoxi County can be ......"

Speaking of this, Hu Sizheng said with a sly smile on his face: "Since this is the case, then we will help add fire!" Let's make a big deal out of this! I have a plan to start with the princess......"

With that, he told him his plan.

After everyone heard about it, they were all amazed.

Cheng Yanjin also sighed: "It seems that Lord Hu is still powerful, if Xue Shixiong knows what, he will obediently return to our Liaodong Army and give up Liaoxi County." Otherwise, even if we send troops to conquer the county town of Liaoxi and kill him, others will not say anything about us. At most, I will only think that our Liaodong Army is acting impulsively. ”

Yu Ming was also shocked, if he could really make the trip, then he could completely bring Liaoxi County under his rule within the year and open up the passage to Hebei. In the future, once the time is ripe and there is any wind and grass in the Central Plains, he will be able to enter the customs immediately. It can be said that the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish can jump.

However, the eldest grandson Wujian questioned it, she frowned, and said in a condensed voice: "Although Lord Hu's plan is good, there is a little loophole!" ”

"The eldest grandson is innocent, what are the loopholes?" Hu Sizheng asked with some surprise.

The eldest grandson Wujian smiled slightly: "Although it seems that we are taking advantage of this on the surface, we are not taking the imperial court into account. Although with the current strength of the imperial court, it is impossible to attack Liaodong. But it is possible to issue a statement to rebuke my husband. Therefore, the concubine thought that it was necessary to report the incident to the emperor as soon as possible, and it was best to get the acquiescence of the imperial court, so it was the best policy! ”

After Hu Sizheng heard this, he was stunned at first, and then came to his senses. He is a veteran of officialdom, so he naturally quickly realized that there was indeed this loophole.

"I didn't expect that my wife didn't work hard in the officialdom, and she knew everything about the accidents and habits in the officialdom. It really makes Hu admire! He said with emotion.

"Lord Hu has won the prize! Immaculate was also thought of by a flash of inspiration in his mind. In fact, even if the concubine doesn't talk about it, it won't be long before Lord Hu will think of it. The eldest grandson said modestly.

Yuming's wives are so shrewd and capable, and Luo Qi, who is now engaged, is also a powerful character, which is difficult for ordinary men to control.

At that moment, the eldest grandson Wujian and Hu Sizheng finalized the details of how to send people to lobby in the DPRK. left Yuming, the husband, aside.

At this time, seeing that his subordinates were able to integrate and discuss big things so quickly. Yuming couldn't help but be happy.

After sighing in his heart for a while, Fang didn't look away and continued to pay attention to everyone's discussion.

At this time, everyone in the hall was talking.

Red Sleeves decided to move the headquarters of Nishiki Guard from Aoki Castle in order to convey all kinds of information more quickly. After the establishment of Jinyiwei, in order to keep it secret, the headquarters has always been located in Aoki City, not in Liaodong City. 、

But now it seems that Chen Ling, the Liaodong left-behind guard sent by the imperial court, has long since died, and the Liaodong region has been completely under Yuming's control. Although there are many people in Liaodong City, there is a high possibility of spies. But now it is possible to ignore this, after all, it is more important to improve the operational efficiency of Jinyiwei now.

Moreover, after nearly a year of intelligence gathering, she also had some new ideas, hoping to use this to relocate and reorganize the intelligence department.

Zhou Tao proposed to expand the scale of the naval army, build a city near the dock of the naval division to prevent the enemy from attacking, and at the same time provide a place for the officers and men of the naval division to go ashore and rest.

Zhou Qiang, on the other hand, pointed out that the existing shipyard is small in scale and needs to be expanded, and additional funds for the research and development of new warships should be allocated.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, pointed out that at present, Liaodong's grain output can only be 70 percent self-sufficient, and there is still a need to buy from Japan and Jiangnan, and after a large number of immigrants from the Central Plains pour in, the problem of food shortage will become even more serious, and if Liaodong is to become a large rear area for advancing into the Central Plains and becoming a solid development base, it is necessary to solve the grain problem.

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui did not think so, and these two ministers believed that the land in Liaodong was fertile anyway, and although it could only be harvested once a year because of the cold climate, as long as the cultivated land area was expanded, this problem could be well solved.

However, Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao retorted, believing that this required the introduction of a large number of skilled farmers, and these farmers were tenants in the coastal area, and it would be difficult for them to move their families to Liaodong, and the local landlords would not agree. It will definitely be reported to the magistrate, and finally the matter will be stabbed to the imperial court, which will make the imperial court find that Liaodong is expanding its power, which may lead to a series of adverse consequences.

Listening to his subordinates speak freely, and even fighting for red-facedness, Yuming was very pleased. That's exactly what he wants. Yiyantang is dangerous, and even more terrifying. As a superior person, you don't need to be an all-rounder, that will only tire people to death. All he needs to do is to put his subordinates in the most suitable position according to their abilities and give full play to their greatest strengths. And if the subordinates are afraid to speak and express their opinions, how can they let the superiors discover their strengths?

Moreover, it is better to let subordinates quarrel in public than to fight in private. It is impossible for them to be so good as brothers, but it is even worse if they are at odds with each other. Therefore, this kind of superficial conflict between them in public is the best way to resolve the contradictions between each other and detonate inner resentment and dissatisfaction.

"That's it! I think everyone is talking about it! Seeing that everyone was tired of arguing, Yu Mingfang stood up and made a concluding speech: "Now, let's go our separate ways!" The most important thing at the moment is to make our Liaodong Army strong and prosperous as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the future march into the Central Plains. Please do your job according to your own division of labor......"
