Chapter 793: Add another fire

The more you know about Wei Zheng, the clearer it is that Wei Zheng is a very simple and upright person.

Therefore, in front of Wei Zheng, Luo Yangxing also began to slowly relax.

As soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, Luo Yangxing said without the slightest nervousness: "It is indeed the government forcing the people to rebel...... Because of the tax increase by the imperial court, many people became destitute overnight. ”

"In the case of not having enough to eat, the business of those smuggling salt dealers who target ordinary people can be said to be much worse than before......

"Under such circumstances, many smugglers are selling smuggled salt, and at the same time, they are also engaged in the business of killing people and stealing goods......

"Not only that, but many people who became destitute overnight joined them when they saw that they could survive by smuggling smuggled salt and killing people and goods......"

"According to the latest statistics of the internal guard, in the past month, there have been at least 30,000 ordinary people who have joined the ranks of smuggling smuggled salt and bandits...... In every county in the south of the Yangtze River, there are so many bandits and thieves, which can be described as a miasma......"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's mocking smile on his face became even more, and he said calmly: "This is just the beginning...... From now on, if the imperial court collects so much tax every year, then the number of people who become bandits because they can't survive will become even more ......"

"If this goes on like this, the provinces south of the Yangtze River, which are still very wealthy, will become rampant with bandits and ...... displaced people everywhere."

"When the time comes, the new army of the imperial court that he Chongzhen has worked so hard to build, before he has time to deal with my tiger and leopard army, he has to face a large number of bandits in the territory, and then he is completely dragged in the territory by these bandits. Can't get out of ......."

"That's it. After the expansion of our Tiger and Par Army is completed. With only the strength of two armies, you can take advantage of the situation and go south and catch the imperial court off guard. Defeat the more than 100,000 new troops that Chongzhen worked so hard to build, and extinguish Chongzhen's hope......"

At this time, even the scheming Luo Yang couldn't help but begin to sigh at Wei Zheng's original decision.

As an ancient person, Luo Yangxing could not have thought of breaking a country's finances and taxes even if he wanted to break his head. It can also be a devastating blow to a country.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, Luo Yangxing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The prince is wise...... I really didn't expect that a small decision made by you, Lord Wang, a few months ago, could bring such huge benefits...... I couldn't have thought of this before......"

Wei Zheng didn't show too much smile on his face because of Luo Yang's compliment.

Instead, under Luo Yangxing's gaze, he said with a worried face......

"This is indeed a great benefit for us to defeat the imperial court and seize Jiangnan. However, the devastating power it generates. It's also very big...... This king is worried now, and when we take over Jiangnan in the future. Jiangnan will be completely destroyed by the imperial court, just like the northern provinces, and it will take us a lot of time and money to restore it......"

"Therefore, this king is wondering, is there any good way, while keeping these benefits, as much as possible to reduce the damage of the war to the entire Jiangnan......"

What disappointed Wei Zheng was that he didn't see the slightest answer he wanted from Luo Yangxing......

And at this moment, a very bold idea popped up in Wei Zheng's heart.

Because, at this moment, he suddenly thought of a strategic tactic that almost saved the entire War of Resistance in the Anti-Japanese War in later generations!

That is, base areas behind enemy lines and guerrilla warfare......

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng's eyes lit up directly, and he asked Luo Yangxing: "Commander Luo, do you think it is possible for us to add another fire to the already chaotic situation in Jiangnan......

Seeing the puzzled expression on Luo Yangxing's face, Wei Zheng followed up and explained......

"Since there are so many bandits in these provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, then we will send people to organize these bandits for my use...... In this way, we will be able to avoid the destruction of these provinces by bandits as much as possible......"

"Not only that, but we can also conduct formal training for these bandits, equip them with muskets and grenades, and let them occupy some territory in Jiangnan to fight against the new army of the imperial court......"

"In this way, when we attack Jiangnan in the future, we can attack inside and outside with the assistance of these bandits, take down the new army of the imperial court in the shortest time and at the lowest cost, and occupy Jiangnan ......"

Luo Yangxing's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to affirm: "The prince is wise...... These bandits, who appear to be bandits on the surface, are actually a group of civilians who have just put down their hoes, and their combat effectiveness is not even as good as the recruits we have just trained......"

"If we can send some veterans over, there will be absolutely no problem with controlling them......"

"Not to mention, if there is a squad of veterans of the Haw Par Army in the land of a prefecture, and if you give them enough firearms and equipment, they will be able to create a territory of their own......"

"You must know that although the new army formed by the imperial court is powerful, it is limited to the new army. Compared with the officers and soldiers we have encountered before, the local garrison has not only not improved, but it is also somewhat inferior to ......."

Wei Zheng nodded and affirmed: "A class of the Tiger and Leopard Army in a place is a province, and a company in a province...... In this way, the entire Jiangnan province will need the strength of one regiment......"

"Although the strength of the Haw Par Army is insufficient, and the army is being expanded...... However, it is still possible to draw a regiment of troops from among more than 100,000 people......"

"The king's idea is that the more than ten soldiers who go to each province will be commanded by a company commander or deputy company commander, and then accompany him to three platoon commanders and deputy platoon commanders, and the rest will be given to veterans of more than one year, and bring a company of musket grenades, with the help of the internal guard, secretly go to Jiangnan ......"

"In the future, after our Haw Par Army hits Jiangnan, if they can expand a battalion according to the standards of the Haw Par Army, this king will make him the battalion commander. Expand a regiment, and the king will make him the commander of the regiment......"

"Because these people are in Jiangnan, even if the staff wants to, they can't do anything...... Therefore, as long as these people enter Jiangnan, they will be under the control of your Luo Yangxu...... As for their status, they are still ...... officers and officers of the Haw Par Army"

"How about it, Commander Luo, what do you think of this king's ......?"

It can be said that as long as he takes on this errand, his position in the Haw Par Army will not only be more stable, but will also be further improved.

Such a good opportunity, of course, Luo Yangxing will not let go.

Without thinking about it, he replied: "Please rest assured, Lord Wang, you believe in me Luo Yangxing, and I Luo Yangxing will not let you down......

"Good ......," Wei Zheng replied with a satisfied face......

"In this way, this king will write you a warrant immediately, and you will go to the chief of staff with the warrant and ask the chief of staff to transfer troops for you...... The chief of staff of the armament will also come back to you...... As for the rest, it's up to you......" (To be continued......
