Zhang Gui: What are they doing to eat! You can't even block a few tributaries! Zhang Weixian remade the table case with an indignant expression, which made his haggard face look extremely pale, "Every year, so much money is allocated to them, and so many ordnance, grain and grass are gathered, but in the end they are a mess!" Ahem......"

  Because of his power, Zhang Weixian, who was supposed to be in Chongzhen for three years and died of illness on the bed, is still alive and well.

  Zhao Zongwu's butterfly effect has completely messed up the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

  He has passed the age of knowing his fate, although he said that there were some problems in his body, but the change in his mentality made Zhang Weixian live for more than ten years, and there was no problem at all.

  Zhu Chunchen said indifferently: "It's not the time to settle accounts for us at present, now I still want to think about it, the rogues led by Wang Ziyong broke out of the encirclement surrounded by the soldiers and horses organized by the imperial court on a large scale, and rushed towards the Central Plains, what should we do next?!" ”

  Because over the years, Zhao Zongwu has been secretly provoking the relationship between them, which also makes the relationship between Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi already have a delicate relationship, and for Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi, they are really unwilling to listen to the instructions of the old man Zhang Weixian.

  "What to do? Of course, continue to find ways to contain it! Listening to Zhu Chunchen's lukewarm answer, Zhang Weixian's heart was angry: "You can't let Zhao Zongwu continue to lead the troops south!"

  The current nine-sided towns have all been brought into his hands, and the soldiers and horses under his command are even more obedient to the announcement, and they have formed a force that cannot be defeated.

  Although it is said that the northern border towns have settled down since then, on the other hand, Zhao Zongwu used his authority to forcibly appoint fifteen chief military officers, what is the face of the imperial court? In the name of restoring the people's livelihood in the northwest and eastern Liaodong, the so-called Government Affairs Council was established under the name of the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion, and its thief and minister's face has been undoubtedly revealed!

  In such a situation, if we show the slightest tone and let Zhao Zongwu lead the troops south to pacify the Liukou, I am afraid that the authority in your and my hands will be stripped away by him! ”

  Standing at the height of Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi, there are actually many things, and they are the clearest in their hearts, saying that Zhao Zongwu is a thief, in fact, they are not much better, since Zhao Zongwu led the army to Shaanxi to pacify the Liukou, Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi began to gradually increase the authority in their hands, and according to the development of these years, they also have the corresponding self-reserved land.

  For example, the eastern part of the mountain is Zhu Chunchen's own land.

  For example, the Central Plains area, which belongs to Zhang Weixian's own land.

  For example, the southeast zone, which belongs to Xu Xi's own land.

  For the sake of these self-reserved lands, they also made all kinds of deals, and in more than five years, the Ming Dynasty once again had a eunuch force that was not weaker than the Apocalypse period, and such a force was four.

  And under these four big forces, there are still many small forces, who don't care about the life or death of the local people for the little power in their hands.

  Why Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi are not so active in the matter of the Liukou going south, the most important point is because the Liukou who went south did not affect their own land.

  Xu Xi said: "The truth is like this, but you also know that this time, in order to contain the Liukou army, we can say that we have transferred elites from all over the Ming Dynasty, and even the Tusi soldiers have been transferred, but in the end, they did not achieve the expected effect at all."

  Although it is said that this time the Liukou went south to the Central Plains, one thing is still certain, after this series of battles, the army of the Liukou does not want to oppose the imperial court, why don't we take this opportunity to try to recruit these mud legs? ”

  Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi also knew in their hearts that it would definitely not work for Zhao Zongwu to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and it would be impossible for Zhao Zongwu to urine, as long as he led the army south, then it would be impossible to maintain the current balance.

  But in Xu Xi's eyes, since the power of these mud legs is strong, why not open up new ideas to solve it?

  "This prince agrees with Ping Guogong's proposal." Zhu Chunchen nodded slightly and said: "Since sending troops and horses to continue the encirclement and suppression is an unfavorable thing for the imperial court, then we must change our thinking and strive to solve the biggest crisis at the lowest cost."

  For these mud legs, there is nothing more practical than glory and wealth, since they are scrambling to rebel one by one, they simply want to get something, since this is the case, then the court can use the corresponding price to appease them, and when they have relaxed their vigilance in their hearts, it is not too late for us to do the measures of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots! ”

  It is also very helpless for Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi, because of Zhao Zongwu, so that more than ten years ago, he has begun to consciously search for generals who can fight well.

  For a country, when there are factions in the top ruling group, then these branded generals will not be used by anyone other than themselves.

  Zhao Zongwu dared to expand his army on such a large scale in just five years, and he had enough generals in his hands, which was the fundamental basis for him to dare to be so bold.

  If Zhao Zongwu didn't have these generals in his hands, then he wouldn't dare to expand on such a large scale, after all, in this troubled world, it is easy to get thousands of troops, but it is difficult to find one!

  The remaining generals of the Ming Dynasty cannot be said to be useless generals, but because the overall military and political system has collapsed, coupled with the many factions of the imperial court, this has led to serious local corruption.

  This also makes on the one hand Zhang Weixian and their hands have no available good generals, on the other hand, although a large amount of money has been allocated, but in terms of the overall situation of suppressing bandits, there is not much improvement at all, which is why Wang himself uses them, under Zhao Zongwu's troops, they are constantly suppressed, but under Zhang Weixian's troops, they can continue to accumulate strength.

  Of course, this is also related to Zhao Zongwu's secret troublemaking, in order to further accumulate his own strength, Zhao Zongwu has set up secret agents under many forces over the years to balance and weaken the forces of all parties.
