"Let the two of you serve as the chief soldier and deputy chief soldier of Jizhen respectively, which was finally decided by this duke after careful consideration, so what this duke said in front of the generals, I hope you are all engraved in your hearts.

I don't want you or others to engage in the so-called factional division after leaving Jizhen!

If you let my father hear any rumors, no matter whether it's right or wrong, my father will hold you both accountable! ”

Zhao Zongwu looked at him with a serious expression, and the two generals Ma Shilong and Duan Guoren, who were sitting in danger, had a strong warning in their words.

It was not easy for him to open an opening in Jizhen, if it was finally consumed by the so-called factional dispute, then Zhao Zongwu really wanted to be angry.

Ma Shilong and Duan Guoren glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Grandpa Guo, don't worry!" The last general must bring this town well! ”

After the two of them said what they wanted to say, they both looked at each other with surprise on their faces, they didn't expect that on this point, they were surprisingly consistent.

Seeing this, Zhao Zongwu couldn't help laughing.

Being able to find such a partner is not easy in itself, not to mention that Ma Shilong and Duan Guoren have not worked together before.

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said, "Okay!" What my father wants is your spirit, and if you want to be more serious with each other, then be more serious in private, see who is more capable, and see who can better take Jizhen to new heights.

At the same time, my father also said ugly things in front, in one year's time, my father wants to see the bad habits of Ji Town completely eliminated, and in two years, this father wants to see the new look of Ji Town! ”

Since it is intended to link Liaodong and Jizhen together, according to Zhao Zongwu's planning and deployment, in the next two years, Jizhen must not only form three standard Huaxia Army Corps and a local garrison force of more than 60,000 people, but also have enough military tun and fertile land to wrap the above-mentioned army.

With the help of such a foundation, it is necessary to dredge all the waterways within the influence of Jizhen and build a standard straight road connecting Shanhaiguan......

The task is not ordinarily arduous.

But this is also a very challenging thing for Ma Shilong and Duan Guoren.

If the two of them can do this well and perfectly, then in the next career, there will be rapid changes.

"Grandpa Guo, don't worry! The last general will surely complete the military orders you have deployed! Ma Shilong and Duan Guoren bowed down to Zhao Zongwu and promised.

Hearing the assurances of the two, Zhao Zongwu smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go and do our own things, my father still has some things to deal with here." ”

"The last general will retire...... "Raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhao Zongwu, the two of them then bowed their heads and said, and turned around and left after speaking.

When the two left, Chen Qiyu, who was beside him, couldn't help but praise: "Grandpa Guo, your trick of using military force to control the area under your jurisdiction is really too clever!" It is only now that I have tasted the essence of it! ”

Zhao Zongwu shook his head slightly and smiled: "Now the place of Daming has become a mess, groups of homeless people are wandering wantonly, and more and more yeoman farmers are declaring bankruptcy, especially in the area near the capital, which is a place sought after by many forces.

If Bengong didn't take this opportunity to really intervene in the affairs of Jizhen, it would not be an easy thing.

But in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, Bengong had to make this move, otherwise Zhang Weixian's forces under their command are getting stronger and stronger, but the forces under Bengong's command have not made the slightest progress, I am afraid that it will not be long before the public auxiliary government of the four countries will become the public auxiliary government of the Three Kingdoms, and even the prince will be given the title of anti-thief!

In order to avoid such a situation, then Bengong can only strike first, and deter the surrounding forces by reviving the military power of Jizhen, so as to lure it.

In this way, the power of Jizhen will grow stronger and stronger, and with the increasing number of elite soldiers and horses under the command of Jizhen, then the right to speak in the region must be Bengong's! ”

Speaking of this, the fierceness on Zhao Zongwu's face became stronger and stronger.

During this time, what Zhang Weixian and they did was really a bit excessive, because they felt that Zhao Zongwu's power was too strong, so when Zhao Zongwu wanted to do some innovation, there would be such and such problems, or they would refuse tactfully because they did not conform to the rules, but Zhao Zongwu He is the kind of master who eats soft and does not eat hard, since Zhang Weixian is doing this behind their backs, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Political gambling is itself a life-and-death process.

Chen Qiyu nodded and said, "Grandpa Guo, you are right, so can this method be applied to the nine sides?"

At the present stage, according to what we have learned, it can be said that the defense of the nine borders can be described as a mess of hemp, and if we can solve the trouble of the nine borders as soon as possible, will we be able to clear the army's sluggish situation in advance? ”

Zhao Zongwu waved his hand and said: "Yuxuan, you want to make it simple to reset the nine sides, this prince can now take Ji Town to carry out innovation, it is also because of various factors to this step, this prince can have the opportunity to meddle in the affairs of Ji Town, and besides, Ji Town is adjacent to my Liaodong forces, which makes it relatively simple to control Ji Town."

But for other nine-sided towns, it's not a concept, the current nine-sided towns, like a gambling table used by all parties to play, there are too many dark things hidden in this private, and once a new force is involved in the middle, it will definitely attract many forces to fight back.

If you want to innovate the heart of the nine sides, my father can understand, but the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step.

So we need to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity for us to get involved, and with that opportunity, we can slowly ......"

Zhao Zongwu's heart knew very well what would happen next, so he knew better than anyone that in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would face many catastrophes.

Although he was abandoned by him for the greatest catastrophe of Jiannu, the many reasons that existed inside him were enough to kill the behemoth of Daming!

Just like the ambition in his heart, only if he really disappoints Daming in the hearts of the world, then he can gradually release his ambition.

And in this process, the peasant uprising in Shaanxi and Gansu played a crucial role, which would also be a step to push him to complete this initiative.

There was not much time left for him, and before that he had to solve the problem of Jingying.
