"Your Majesty, you should understand one thing. www.biquge.info Zhang Cheng put down the gold-inlaid ivory chopsticks in his hand, took the snow-white napkin from the servant on the side, wiped his mouth, and looked at the young emperor sitting opposite with a flat gaze, "There is no free lunch in this world." If you don't have the corresponding strength, you shouldn't ask for more than you can do. People must be self-aware and self-aware. ”

The emperor, who was originally full of excitement and even the acne on his face was slightly shining, suddenly turned gloomy when he heard this: "Do you want to regret it?" ”

In dealing with the family consortium, the young emperor also made great efforts. not only frequently contacted important military and political officials in various places, made various promises and guarantees, but even showed his hole cards when the fierce battle in the imperial capital was in full swing.

Nearly half of the Imperial Guard, which was responsible for monitoring and defending the imperial family, was secretly co-opted by the young emperor. Their backlash at the critical moment not only dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Saga Foundation's forces, but also took control of an important private airport in the city, completely cutting off the escape route for the Saga Foundation's representatives.

Originally, I asked Zhang Cheng to come to dinner to share the delicious fruits after the victory, but I didn't expect Zhang Cheng to say such a thing.

The emperor, who had taken out all his strength, almost wanted to flip the table at this moment. If it weren't for reason telling him that he couldn't do this, the young emperor would have called someone to rush in, arrest Zhang Cheng and torture him, and then force him to hand over all his benefits.

"Don't be so impulsive, Your Majesty is the king of a country, and impulsiveness can't solve anything." Zhang Cheng smiled and took out a cigarette and lit it.

"What do you mean?" The emperor took a few deep breaths, calmed his mood, and then looked at Zhang Cheng and asked out loud.

"My meaning is very simple, the demands that Your Majesty has just made are basically not possible. Don't say I won't agree, and neither will Shousuke-sama. Zhang Cheng shook his head slightly and spoke.

The young emperor did what his fathers had wished for many years and succeeded in striking a heavy blow to the family consortium. Spurred on by the great success, the somewhat carried away emperor tried to get the rights that he could not get with his current strength. This is unacceptable to anyone who is still awake.

"If you want to get benefits, the prerequisite is to have the corresponding strength in your hands." Zhang Cheng swept away the ashes of his cigarette and said softly, "Your Majesty, what strength do you have now?" What else is there besides those royal guards? The wealth of the royal family? I'm afraid that the wealth of those royal families is not completely owned by His Majesty, right? The other members of the royal family, those princes, princesses, and auxiliary generals will obey His Majesty's arrangement? ”

At this moment, the young emperor had no other armed forces in his hands except for half of the emperor's guard. As for the wealth owned by the imperial family, it is not completely in the name of the emperor, and he does not have much power except for his own righteous name.

"He Ziqiu, they are all my people!" The young emperor's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Those generals have called back and said that they will obey my orders!" They all have a million soldiers, and I only need a telegram......"

"The telegram that His Majesty gave them an order would be thrown into the paper basket by them as paper to wipe their butts." Zhang Cheng unceremoniously interrupted the emperor's reverie: "What they value is only the name given to them by His Majesty." Did Your Majesty really think that they would naively obey your orders? No matter how you look at it, Your Majesty doesn't look like this kind of visionless person, does he? Can our conversation continue normally? ”

The Emperor was silent. Compared with his parents, he is really smart, and he also knows what it means to be Taoguang Yanghui. It's just that he is too young to fully settle down. He didn't understand in his heart that he was just in name. How is it possible to really let those military leaders die for themselves? He just didn't want to believe it in his heart, after all, the authority of the royal family had been lost for too long, and he wanted to feel the feeling of taking it all back.

"It's not over yet." Zhang Cheng shook his head: "It's just the beginning." ”

"Haven't all the people been arrested and killed?" The emperor looked at Zhang Cheng with some doubts: "What's the trouble?" ”

"Your Majesty, are you the only dozens of people in the family consortium?" Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "To say something inappropriate, even if you are sitting in this position, there are many people who can take over, let alone those family consortia?" What family doesn't have dozens or hundreds of excellent descendants? We just caught them off guard and had a strong advantage at the beginning. ”

The young emperor's body paused slightly, and the greedy faces of those uncles and brothers flashed in front of his eyes in an instant. A wave of anger suddenly welled up in my heart.

"So what now?" The emperor leaned forward slightly, and looked at Zhang Cheng with blazing eyes, "Zhang Yue is about to die, and then it will be up to you to take it." If I really let the family consortium counterattack, even if I am a puppet or simply lose the throne, I can at least save my life. You just don't have any way back. ”

"Your Majesty." Zhang Cheng raised his hand to extinguish the cigarette butt and looked at the emperor sitting across the table, "Do you have any uncles and brothers you don't like?" The kind that qualifies. ”

"Huh?" Although Zhang Cheng said something hidden, the emperor quickly understood what he meant, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty can send some members of the royal family to the territory of the family consortium that cannot be encircled and will inevitably raise troops to give them a chance in name." Zhang Cheng's words shocked the emperor: "It's still wartime, and there are enemies on all sides. An excuse to give them a move at this time?! Isn't that adding to the chaos? And Shousuke is about to die, who will deal with this situation then? It's not that I underestimate you, your ability is sufficient, but your prestige and actual connections are far inferior to Shousuke. Once a full-blown war starts, it will be troublesome. ”

"Within a week at most, Kazan and the surrounding area will definitely be occupied." Zhang Cheng suddenly changed his words and began to talk about the Russian war situation: "Before, He Zhiqiu was half-pushed and half-concealed and refused to go all out, because he wanted to preserve his strength while constantly reaching out to the Supreme Command for support. Now that the domestic situation has changed greatly, and the German and French expeditionary forces have entered the territory of Russia, once Ho Zhiqiu, who is in dire need of performance scores, gets serious, then Kazan can hold out for a week at most. No matter how difficult and tenacious the defenders there were, how singable and weeping the battle was. Nothing will change the outcome of the matter. ”

The emperor was silent, looking at Zhang Cheng patiently, waiting for his next words.

"On the North African side, although it is said that the French blockaded the fortress of Gibraltar. But it's Gibraltar after all! The Ming Dynasty has worked hard for hundreds of years and invested in countless super fortresses. The capture of the fortress of Gibraltar required a huge military investment, including heavy artillery and a strong air force, and took at least three months. Zhang Cheng took a sip of the water glass on the side, and then said, "This is not counting the time to mobilize such a huge military force, and it also does not count the strength of the Gibraltar fortress to receive assistance. ”

"So, there won't be any major changes in North Africa and Southern Europe for at least half a year. Unless the French change their strategy and bring back the main forces from the Russian battlefield. But I don't think the French leadership will be so brainless this time, and the same is true for the Germans. Zhang Cheng's voice calmly recounted the war situation everywhere: "The Americans have always been grinding foreign workers, or watching the tiger fight from the other mountain. They are constantly expanding their production capacity to produce a variety of materials. At the same time, Japan and the countries of Europe were supported to fight with us, depleting the forces of both sides. The Americans' own armies retreated to the Americas and expanded their forces, bringing the whole of America completely under their sphere of influence. This situation will not change until there is a major turning point in the tide of the war everywhere. Of course, their Pacific Fleet still contributed a force, at least to contain the main naval force on Hawaii. ”

"You want to say we have time to deal with internal affairs now?" It was said that the young emperor was very smart, and he quickly understood Zhang Cheng's thoughts.

"That's right." Zhang Cheng snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "There are some things that you can't help but do, and the longer you drag on, the more harmful it will be." Since it can't be stopped, it's the way to let them perish as soon as possible. ”

"What does this have to do with giving them a name?" The Emperor's eyes were full of incomprehension.

"It's not 200 years ago." Zhang Cheng shook his head and sighed lightly, "Two hundred years ago, I pulled a prince with royal blood as a gimmick to raise troops to rebel, and if you clear the monarch's side, there may be people who will work and understand." But in this day and age, most people have gone to school and read books. They all have the ability to discern. The merits and demerits of such an important matter will be clearly seen by most people. Especially the soldiers. ”

"Good!" The emperor's eyes gradually lit up, and he raised his hand and slapped his thigh hard, "That's right!" The soldiers were at least educated, and such an act of mutiny in times of war when the country was in danger could not be understood and supported. When the time comes, we will publish some evidence of the betrayal of the family consortium, and then announce that as long as all those who can escape from the rebels anyway are not to blame, the rebellion of the family consortium will soon fail! ”

"Unpopular with the people." Zhang Cheng raised his hand and gently tapped on the table, "If they really don't move, it will be very embarrassing." But if they do this kind of thing at this juncture, it will not be supported by the vast majority of people. Even if they could master the generals, what about the soldiers? Even when they are coerced into fighting, these soldiers who are educated and able to distinguish between right and wrong are either defective on the battlefield or ineffective. This is the best way to end this infighting in the shortest possible time. (To be continued.) )
