Chapter 179: The Southeast's Turmoil (Part II)

Thinking of the royal rebellion, He Tengxiao couldn't help but shudder.

If the royal family rebelled, it would be far more difficult to deal with than the current Lu Tianhao and his ilk and the Zhejiang rebellion more than ten years ago.

Lu Tianhao's uprising and the Zhejiang rebellion more than ten years ago have one thing in common: both were hasty and unprepared.

According to Shi Yufeng, if the royal family really has the heart of rebellion, the royal family is definitely not in a hurry, even if it is counted from the time the royal family finances the Zhejiang rebels to fall into the sea, the royal family has at least ten years of preparation time.

More than ten years is enough for the royal family to prepare a rebellion. Moreover, the royal rebellion has an advantage that others do not have. The eight major clans of Fujian are known for their strong cohesion, and if the royal family rebels, it will inevitably drag the other seven clans with them.

The rebel force composed of the eight major clans in Fujian will never be a rabble. In the south, the Imperial Town Army was almost eroded to the point of losing its combat effectiveness, and the local town army could only maintain local law and order at best. The role of the Southern Town Army was limited to this, and it was simply impossible to expect such a town army to suppress the rebellion.

The only way to quell the rebellion is to tear down the eastern wall and make up for the western wall, and mobilize the fighting forces in the northern border areas to Fujian to suppress the rebellion. And the dispatch of troops from the northern border of the empire thousands of miles away to Fujian, with the empire's current low organizational and mobilization capabilities, will take at least nearly a year.

The soldiers are fast, and one year is enough time for the royal family to consolidate their rebel base.

"What a fucking mess!" He Tengxiao scolded secretly, there are signs of a big war everywhere, Liaodong and the Liao Empire are fighting hotly, Lu Tianhao in Shaanxi is still jumping, and now it's good, the eight major clans in Fujian will also jump out and join in the legs.

The war with the Liao State belonged to the military struggle between two hostile countries, and Lu Tianhao's original intention of rebellion was to raise a pole to beg for food so as not to starve to death, and he had to take risks as a last resort.

What was the reason for the royal rebellion? Thinking about it, it is only possible that the real power of the eight major ethnic groups in Fujian has been continuously weakened by the center over the past hundred years, infringing on their local interests in Fujian and arousing their dissatisfaction. In addition, He Tengxiao couldn't think of other reasons for the eight major clans in Fujian to rebel.

"What's the chaos, this great victory is exciting for the whole country, I'm afraid it won't be long before General He will become the same as the Governor General of my Great Zhao Empire. I remember that General He is only twenty years old this year, tsk, he is really young and promising. Shi Yufeng teased.

"This time is a fluke, for this great victory, the army participating in the war suffered great losses, the Liao State is known as having 300,000 people who control the strings, and 30,000 people are not enough to deal a fatal blow to the Liao State and shake the foundation of the Liao State." He Tengxiao sighed lightly, he had not been carried away by this great victory, and he still had a very deep understanding of the comparison of the military strength of Zhao and Liao in Liaodong. With the current strength of the Zhao Empire deployed in the Liao army, it can only barely maintain the momentum, "Besides, Governor Peng's family is a serious imperial examination scholar, and I am a vulgar martial artist, and I can't become a cadre city of the country." ”

"I'll tell you the truth." Shi Yufeng gave He Tengxiao a lot of help, He Tengxiao not only regarded Shi Yufeng as his partner, but also regarded Shi Yufeng as his friend, to Shi Yufeng, He Tengxiao still told him frankly, "The reason why I urged you to rush the goods this time is because I have already prepared to retreat to Changsheng Island and Zhongdao." ”

He Tengxiao had already had this idea the moment he asked He Fangxiong for Changsheng Island and Zhongdao as his fiefdoms, and retreating to manage these two deserted islands was not a retreat he had imagined on a whim.

"Even you are so pessimistic about the war in Liaodong?" Shi Yufeng frowned, He Tengxiao was the one he finally found and partnered with, and with the help of He Tengxiao, the Shi family opened up the situation of Liaodong's business.

If He Tengxiao retreats to Changsheng Island and Zhongdao, the efforts and achievements of this year will be in vain.

"The facts are there, I have to bow to him." He Tengxiao knew what Shi Yufeng was worried about, and said to him, "But don't worry, after retreating to Changsheng Island and Zhongdao, the business of the He family and you will continue as usual, and your brother Yufeng's share is indispensable." ”

How much profit is there after retreating to a desert island? Shi Yufeng is a businessman, and the essence of a businessman is to pursue profits, and Shi Yufeng is no exception. He was still concerned about how much commercial benefit the family could get from Liaodong.

Since He Tengxiao stacked the words here and made a promise to him, Shi Yufeng couldn't say anything more, although Shi Yufeng, who grew up immersed (lewd) in the shopping mall, understood that verbal promises were the least valuable, and the so-called empty words were unfounded.

"You are so pessimistic about the situation in Liaodong, but I am optimistic about the situation in the southeast sea and Xinjiang." Shi Yufeng smiled and said mysteriously.

"Why?" He Teng asked puzzled.

"The governor of Nanzhili has done nothing, but the secretary of the Jinling Military Department has some means. After the failure of the Nanzhi Governor to rectify the Jinling Naval Division, the Shangshu of the Jinling Military Department fully intervened in the rectification of the Jinling Naval Division. Moreover, Shan Futian has achieved great results in rectifying the Jinling Naval Division, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to bring you out of the Longjiang Shipyard next time. ”

Jinling Castle, as the capital of the empire, has the same official settings and institutions as Jingshi Castle. The Jinling City that there is in the Jingshi City is also indispensable, the difference is that the officials in the Jingshi City are real power figures, only the officials who have lost power will be sent to Jinling City for retirement, Jinling City has always been known as the retirement home for imperial officials.

Most of the officials in Jinling City are idle, and the officials of the six departments in Jinling City are very different from those in Jingshi City. Except for the officials who have only one department, that is, the Jinling City Military Department Shangshu. The Shangshu of the Jinling City Military Department is the only one of the six Shangshu of Jinling that really retains real power.

"Listening to what you say, this Shan Futian is also a capable minister." He Tengxiao said with a smile, He Tengxiao has witnessed the erosion of the town army, and those who can effectively rectify the town army must have extraordinary means and abilities.

Shan Futian was able to rectify the Jinling Water Division, he did not have a disgraced face like Xia Zhenxian, the governor of Nanzhili, and he was not a human being inside and out, which has proved his ability.

"Everyone was surprised." Shi Yufeng sighed, revealing his reverence for the Shangshu of the Jinling Military Department, Shan Futian brought some bright color to the gloomy southeast sea frontier, "After Shan Futian rectified and took over the Jinling Naval Division, it was only two months to clear the water bandits around Jinling City, and now, Shan Futian is preparing to encircle and suppress the sea bandits. ”

The troubled times are not only out of heroes, but also prosperous ministers, since ancient times, the troubled times out of the capable ministers are not less than the prosperous times. A troubled era needs more capable ministers than prosperous times.

He Tengxiao thought to himself that if Shan Futian could encircle and suppress the Japanese and Haikou smoothly, the southeast sea frontier might be reversed. There is a capable minister in the south who can support the scene, at least he can suppress the eight major clans in Fujian, and dare not mess around.

Perhaps in the future, if the Eight Great Clans really raise the banner of rebellion, this Shan Futian will also become the fierce rival of the Eight Great Clans in Fujian. (To be continued.) )
