"Your Majesty, by all means!" Hong Yanyan hurriedly exhorted the queen not to have the intention of trying to contain the princes of the Western Road.

The relationship between the court and the princes was an extremely complex system, and the slightest touch on either side could upset the balance between them. There is absolutely no compulsory binding force in this regard, especially now that the main forces of the imperial court are all outside to conquer, how empty Mengzhou is now, and the imperial court must not force itself to come out in such a situation.

As the princes of the Great Song Dynasty stationed at the level of marquis in the frontier, the princes of the Western Road themselves have a certain power to open up their territories to the outside world, and it is obviously inappropriate for the imperial court to restrain them in this regard.

What's more, the Great Song Dynasty and the Hu people have been fighting and killed on the border for so many years, which of the princes on the border and the Hu people are not as deep as the sea, this time there is finally a chance to defeat the Hu people, it is the time to smash the Yellow Dragon with high spirits, how can the imperial court come forward at this time to drag its feet.

Doing so will not only anger the princes from all walks of life, destroy the relationship between the court and the princes, but may even cause chills in the world.

It is better to leave the affairs of the princes to a professional senate.

This is definitely not the time for the queen to come forward.

The queen listened to Hong Yanyan's admonition, but it made sense, this was originally what she was worried about.

"But if you can't make a move, what if the Naji Prefecture Hou family breaks through the Baloch Branch, and the morale is greatly boosted, and the Khan King is really defeated in one go? These must also be guarded against! ”

The queen's words were more explicit.

In the final analysis, the base is still afraid that the victory of the frontier princes is too great, the harvest is too much, and the strength grows too fast, and then the balance between the court and the vassals will be broken, and the court will be even more difficult to do, after all, the relationship between their own Tianzhu and the Great Song Dynasty is a lesson from the past.

Hong Yan smiled,

"Your Majesty, you are thinking too much, you can't help but give up the basics, now we can't focus on the corners of the west, what does it matter if those Hulu lands are occupied by the Jizhou Hou family, and that kind of place is much worse than the anointed land fought by the Great Governor in the east?"

"The Marquis of Jizhou will let them fight on the border, and the importance of that side is not as important as that of the Metropolitan Governor in any way! Now we only need to ensure that the Metropolitan Governor's side ends smoothly, and we can ensure that this biggest harvest now falls into my hands, and when the time comes, the land directly controlled by the imperial court will double out of thin air, and the strength of the imperial court will not only increase several times, will we still be afraid that the strength of the vassals below will grow too fast? No matter how fast they grow as fast as ours, when the time comes, no matter what they get, they will obediently stand out to us, as long as the governor can return to the army smoothly and let the horses go all over the world, can there be heroes and heroes who dare to stand in front of the governor? ”

"As for the threat of the vassals that Your Majesty fears?" Hong Yan smiled, he had personally asked the Metropolitan Governor about this matter, but the Metropolitan Governor's answer was shocking.

"Your Majesty, in fact, no matter how strong the private army of these princes is, it is impossible to threaten us."

"Why?"

The Queen's Wonder,

"Naturally, it's because all their guns and ammunition are out of my hands. Your Majesty should know that the reason why this gun can be used is to consume a lot of ammunition, this consumption is far more than in the past era, the current war is very dependent on logistics, their guns and ammunition are all bought from us with real money, and as long as we cut off the ammunition supply, the guns and cannons in other people's hands will all become a pile of scrap metal, it is better to use wooden sticks.

Do you think that those princes would dare to point the finger at us, although we did not send troops, but we can directly decide their life and death. So Your Majesty doesn't have to worry at all. ”

"Oh? I see. ”

Hong Yan's comfort finally made the queen feel a little relieved, and she understood that she was still a little too stingy just now. Hong Yan's speech is also right, now in this crusade against King Ning, King An has already obtained the biggest piece of fat, so why do you have to grab everything in your hands.

Thinking about it this way, the victory of those border princes was actually not so surprising, after all, it used the firearms and artillery invented by Li Lang.

Although these princes were far from being able to combine these cross-era weapons with their own tactics, these weapons alone were enough to gain the upper hand in the battle against the Hu people.

The current Hu people are far from the courage of the past.

Although the queen did not understand that the arrival of modern firearms troops was about to form an overwhelming advantage over the grassland Hu people with strong cold weapons, the strategic advantage of the imperial court border army over the Shanghu people in recent years could still be seen. All this is actually because of advanced weapons and ammunition.

It can be said that weapons are the absolute factor that the princes' alliance can quickly gain the upper hand on the battlefield against the Hu people.

Therefore, it is not so surprising that these frontier princes won victories over the Hu people.

No matter how powerful they are, aren't the production of these guns and ammunition still in the palm of their own hands? It is obvious that until now, the production of Li's guns and rifled guns has always been controlled by the Li manor and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Li Zhe family.

At this time, the queen suddenly understood why Li Zhe put so much effort into rectifying the security and confidentiality measures of weapon production technology, and this is the core of force!

No wonder Li Zhe always said to her at the beginning:

"Industry, industry, industry is the core of force! Whoever owns the most powerful steel industry is the master of this era. ”

What a stranger!

It turned out that he had already understood all this, and had firmly grasped the core of the armed forces of this era earlier, and he had created such terrible weapons single-handedly, but at the same time, he had also preemptively controlled the production of these weapons, and he had raised himself to the high place of controlling everyone in advance, and grabbed everyone's throat.

Never before has the importance of weapons ever been so important as it has been in this era. And Li Zhe, who took the lead in controlling these, naturally stood in an invincible position.

Victory comes from steel, and steel comes from industry.

Thinking of this, Queen Zhao Jieyu suddenly understood many of the major things Li Zhe had done this year, as if she had suddenly opened up the second vein of Ren Du.

Why is Li Zhe always so persistent in the so-called technology, why does Li Zhe vigorously support the construction of those steel plants, and why does he encourage the development of business......

Although she still doesn't understand Li Zhe's way of governing the country, there has never been a moment when the queen is so confident in Li Zhe's seemingly incomprehensible measures.

Now that she really believes that Tianzhu has the potential to become a country that can compete with the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the seat of Jinling, can't she really think about it?
