Everyone understood that due to the existence of the anti-Qing tripartite forces at this time, the only way to prevent a civil war from breaking out after the success of the Northern Expedition was to preserve their own strength.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone's hearts were "blooming", Wu Zheng said in a timely manner: "Yanzhou was entrenched by Dolbo's 100,000 troops, which caused difficulties for our army's Northern Expedition...... Ganyu! ”

Wu Zheng poked the word Ganyu on the map vigorously with his finger, "It is the only place where our army can bypass Yanzhou from the coastal northward expedition...... Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again! ”

It was not that the Northern Expeditionary Army cared about the 100,000 troops in Yanzhou, and it could not become a fundamental obstacle to the Northern Expedition.

The young Dolbo is not the object of Wu Zheng's jealousy, and even Shen Zhiyuan is not.

The reason for bypassing the Yanzhou Northern Expedition is that the enemy's enemy is a friend, at least, it should be an ally!

No one objected anymore.

No one really dared to object.

In fact, as long as Wu Zheng did not hold this meeting, but simply gave an order, then the general's mansion would quickly implement Wu Zheng's order, and there would be no controversy today.

This is obviously a kind of redundancy to take off your pants and fart?

No, not really, redundant, but indispensable.

Democracy and dictatorship are opposites.

But there can be a gray area in between.

Wu Zheng wants this gray area, and he needs to rush for time. At least, a military junta was more executive and efficient than a formal imperial court before the people's wisdom was opened.

……。

The army was stationed and besieged but not attacked.

This requires absolute discipline and execution.

Wu Zheng needed to choose the chief general of this army.

Whether Jiang Quanyi, who was leading the Taizhou Guard stationed in Haizhou, was suitable, and the objections of Zhang Guowei and others did make Wu Zheng a little embarrassed.

Jiang Quanyi's "work style" was indeed not good, and almost every battle had "disobedience to orders"; because of Wu Zheng's connivance with his subordinates, the newly promoted generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army, especially the middle- and lower-level officers who had come out of the military academy, were almost proud of their limited "disobedience to orders."

This is a sign worthy of "vigilance", and old generals such as Zhang Guowei and Fang Guoan have repeatedly reminded Wu Zheng.

But Wu Zheng has been "perfunctory" and procrastinating.

Is Wu Zheng not worried?

No, for Wu Zheng, the phrase that power comes out of the gun is unforgettable.

But Wu Zheng is not afraid of this kind of "disobedience", he also firmly believes in a sentence, people with "temper" always have some ability.

In Wu Zheng's heart, he believes that curbing and stifling a general's subjective initiative is tantamount to self-harm.

Then, we should systematically restrict this old system of soldiers going with their generals.

This is also the real reason why Wu Zheng founded the Jiangnan Military Academy.

The most different thing between the era of hot weapons and cold weapons is that the mass production of elite soldiers is possible.

To put it simply, the adjutants and generals in the era of cold weapons were all from the generals.

Ordinary people may not even be able to eat, where can they have an outstanding physique to be competent for this kind of very physically demanding battlefield fighting?

The soldiers followed the generals, and the prohibitions did not stop, and finally became the end of the tail.

This is also the fundamental reason why the founding emperor has always been ruthless to the old brothers before him once the imperial power is stable, because the emperor cannot mobilize these troops at all, and the army only listens to those main generals.

If you don't clean up the "portal", will you wait for someone to come to the "Qingjun side"?

But the era of hot weapons is different, as long as it takes dozens of days, or even more than ten days, an ordinary person who has just washed the mud on his legs can be sent to the battlefield after mastering a few simple steps.

Then, it doesn't matter if the generals are against Boone.

In this way, the chronic problem of soldiers leaving their generals has been fundamentally solved.

In addition, the "baptism" of the minds of the students by the three major colleges and universities in the south of the Yangtze River and the "loyalty to the nation and the country" have gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, and as long as the General's Mansion does not subvert the ideas it adheres to, then it is impossible to produce the possibility of a mass mutiny.

And the rebellion on a small scale can no longer deter the rule of the Great General's Mansion over the territory under its jurisdiction.

This is also the real reason why the Yixing Dynasty before and the new Dynasty now cannot shake Wu Zheng's status even if it has the righteousness of the clan, countless scholars, and celebrities.

Wu Zheng has been laying out, and it can be said that every step has its necessary truth.

This is a reborn national transformation, and if you want to hurry, you will not be able to achieve it.

Wu Zheng also did not want to argue with Zhang Guowei, Fang Guoan and other old generals, so he ordered Jiang Quanyi to return to Hangzhou to report on his work.

……。

Southwest of Yongjinmen, on the shore of West Lake.

There is a relatively independent courtyard - the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Although there is no plaque, in front of the mansion, the officers and soldiers patrolling in six shifts every hour make ordinary people unable to approach and dare not approach.

Of course, there were still some other courtyards and mansions here, but now, they are all gone.

It is said that horses should not go to the army, and people who are poor should not go to relatives.

But Wu Xiaomei must not be considered poor.

If she were poor, there would be no rich people in the world.

At this time, the famous Jiangnan Weaving Division, the General Administration covers an area of 800 acres, which is a strange existence in the Wu Wang's domain, which is a strange existence, you know, Wu Wangfu and the front yard of the General's Mansion, covering an area of only 16 acres.

There are 30,000 weaver girls, 50,000 hired workers, more than 100 large and small weaving mills, and no less than 80,000 spinning machines.

The annual income is tens of millions of taels, accounting for almost 30% of the annual income of the General's Mansion.

Can Wu Xiaomei still be considered poor?

The key is that Wu Xiaomei is the county lord, the county lord of the two dynasties and three generations of emperors, and the county lord of the Ming edict of the prison country.

This is one more than Wu Zheng's county kings and princes.

Also, Wu Xiaomei's real surname is Zhu.

There is no impermeable wall, and it is indeed too difficult for people to keep secrets, which is no secret in the upper echelons of the new dynasty.

In fact, people who are rich cannot go to their relatives, especially sensitive relatives, who can not leave, because this is related to politics.

Politics has always been dirty and filthy, and there is no blood in killing.

Wu Zheng had given an order before, "One mile in front of the eldest princess's mansion, don't get close." ”

As a result, no one dared to approach the entire city of Hangzhou, and even those speculators who had always taken observing the direction of the wind and climbing the dragon and the phoenix as their "duty" were also discouraged.

In Jiangnan, no one dared to disobey King Wu's order.

But there are always some people who are exceptions, such as King Wu and his father Wu Bochang, such as King Wu and Princess Wu, and for example, Zhou Simin, who can ignore Wu Zheng's reaction and insist on accompanying Zhu Yujiao...... There must be one more person, that is the county lord Wu Xiaomei.

Zhou Simin, the side princess, can't really help Zhu Yujiao get rid of the reality of "captivity".

But Zhou Simin can come and go freely under the patrol of hundreds of troops day and night, and no one dares to stop the side concubine of King Wu, especially the side concubine who gave birth to the eldest prince.

On the order of Zhu Yujiao, she invited Wu Xiaomei to the eldest princess's mansion for a meeting.

Wu Xiaomei hesitated at first, but after Zhou Simin said a word, she agreed.

Zhou Shimin said that the eldest princess has a plan to help the county lord, and her wish will come true.
