readx;?“ Well said, Brother Wang, this time we are here to leverage our strength to do our part for His Highness to realize his dream as soon as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Su Qin was also moved by Wang Yu's words, and his face was full of appreciation," Many people don't understand this truth, they are still obsessed with the pattern of the past, it seems that these nobles can dominate everything, the rebellion of the Taiping people does not seem to have been able to make them completely sober, they are still intoxicated with the glory of the empire in the past, sometimes I even think that the reason why the Taiping people can uncover the rod and rise up a hundred responses, the people look at the scenery, there should be a specific reason for this, don't the people know that this is a rebellion, the rebellion is to rob the family and kill the head to destroy the nine clans? Then why are the people still desperate to join it? The Taiping Sect does not seem to have much to look forward to, so why would the people work desperately to serve it? This is worth pondering and is enough to serve as a warning. It's a pity that many people in the empire don't seem to understand the truth yet. ”

"Well, Brother Su, you said that if we hadn't been so active in suppressing the Taiping Sect in the Western Xinjiang and had instead prompted it to expand and attack the hinterland of the empire, would we be in a better situation now? Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Yi's words became more presumptuous, but his voice was lowered a little.

Su Qin knew a lot about his friend, and he was afraid that only he could come up with such shocking remarks, so he shook his head with a smile: "Brother Wang, it's better to mention less about such things that have passed, now let's put more thought into these two days, don't look at this is just a preparatory meeting, in fact, this is also a good time for us to meet the thinkers of Situ Zhuzi, this later princes meeting is important, but many strategies are generated in the minds of the thinkers of this preparatory meeting." ”

"Yes, but didn't His Highness set the principle for us to respond to all changes without change? No matter what they turned upside down, I didn't move, he has a thousand plans, I have an old idea, now let's enjoy the scenery of this Fengze Garden. In his opinion, the confluence of Situ Tai and Situ Yushuang is only completed, I am afraid it will be difficult to break the alliance between the two, and the only thing that can be fought for is Situ Biao, and with the current posture, I am afraid that Situ Biao will take more of a wait-and-see posture, this is already an indisputable fact, rather than spending more effort on this, it is better to spend energy on dividing and disintegrating those forces that are attached to Situ Tai and Situ Yushuang on behalf of different factions, weakening the alliance foundation of Situ and Situ Yushuang, and preparing for all aspects of the war that may break out in the later stage。 Wang Yi always believed that war was inevitable, and it was the top priority of the diplomatic department to actively weaken the overall strength of the other side by various means, which also won Su Qin's approval.

The two of them strolled forward along the corridor of the water curve, where there are constantly small bridges at the edge of the fortress to divide a small water surface, "Zhiyu threshold" is its most famous scenic spot, the lake is colorful, rippling into fun, weeping willow shade, green face, two people strolling through it, one side is the stone bridge, the other side is the powder wall leaking window, the pond is planted with water lilies, and the small fish under the lotus swim leisurely, forming a very secluded small space.

"Knowing the fish" is a famous allusion to the two ancient legendary characters Zhuangzi and Huizi swimming on the Haoliang, recorded in the chapter "Zhuangzi #86; Keiko said: "Zifei fish, the joy of knowing fish." Zhuangzi said: "The son is not me, and I know that I don't know the joy of fish." It was this very emotional dialogue that created this scene, and Ji Cheng, the chief designer of Fengze Garden at that time, specially designed and built this scene to cater to the pursuit of this state of tranquility and inaction.

The faint breeze and the intoxicating spring scenery made the two of them intoxicated for a while, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time, until a burst of words came from the other side to wake the two from the drunkenness.

"Brother Hu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already entered the city, why has His Royal Highness the King of Xiang not entered Beijing for a long time? Could it be that he is still worried about something?" Some hoarse voices came from the water corridor on the other side of the pool revetment.

"Oh, Brother Ming, you should go and ask Su Qin and Wang Yu, didn't His Royal Highness King Qin have already arrived under the imperial capital, why has he stayed in his military camp and is reluctant to enter the capital?"

"Li Wufeng? Does he dare to enter Beijing? There was a lot of trouble in the Jinhe Military Department, and now the investigation of the Military Department is still ongoing, and what Xu Tao rebelled against, I think is purely a pretext for Li Wufeng to try to occupy Jin, and now the responsibility is put on Xu Tao, who has committed suicide in fear of crime, and such means are inevitably too vicious. Xu Xiangyang has now been bitten back and has been put in prison, he is really wrong, one night wind 1iu is now accused of dereliction of duty, how can the officials who prostitute women with him be unquestioned?"

"There is no need to mention the past, now that Jin has fallen into Li Wufeng's hands, and the westward passage has been opened, Li Wufeng will probably be able to stay in the imperial capital with peace of mind, but if you want him to enter the city, I am afraid it depends on his mood. The shrill voice known as Brother Hu replied lightly.

"Brother Hu, do you know? His Royal Highness's First and Second Legions seem to be undergoing large-scale adjustments during this time, I heard that the Cangzhou barracks stretch for dozens of miles, and there are also many troops stationed in the north of Lianzhou, and I heard that they are all His Highness's troops. "The hoarse voice is a little tricky, the more mysterious it is.

"Oh, isn't this strange, Cangzhou was originally the territory of His Highness, and it was not a big deal for his army to be stationed there. As for the state, His Royal Highness must bring a certain number of guards to enter Beijing, except for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the King of Qin and the King of Xiang will have soldiers to escort them. The shrill voice was unimpressed.

The footsteps gradually walked towards this side, Su Qin and Wang Yu exchanged glances with each other, smiled knowingly, and stepped forward to meet them.

The corner kiosk in the cloister became the place where the four met, and almost at the same time, both sides recognized each other.

"Brother Su, Brother Wang. "Brother Hu, Brother Ming. ”

After a meaningless exchange of pleasantries, it seemed that both parties consciously avoided the matters to be discussed, and talked about the scenic spots of Fengze Garden, and it could be heard from the tone of both sides that they were a little insincere.

Su Qin looked at the thin young man, this Hu Tingzhi is a great figure, he was the director of the Logistics Department under the General Administration of Military Affairs, but unfortunately he was jealous of the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs Pique, and after several fights, he ended up in a prison waiting for death, and then he was sentenced to exile for some reason, it seems that Situ Biao should have helped him at that time, otherwise with a high-minded and arrogant person like him, how could he succumb to Situ Biao, who was still a playboy at the time. This time, Situ Biao's negotiator was probably him, and he couldn't tell anything from the other party's tone, but with his knowledge, he should be able to see the current situation, but Su Qin couldn't predict what kind of attitude the other party would take.

Just when Su Qin was pondering Hu Tingzhi, the surname Hu was also thinking about the two men in front of him who were opponents in the long run, but they might be collaborators, Xijiang put their strongest first army in Guanxi, and the navy also moved, obviously intimidating their own side, but this is not completely a bluff, if they really want to join this joint camp, I am afraid that Xijiang will really provoke and attack the five lakes, avoiding the strong and weak has always been the usual means of Western Xinjiang.

Hu Tingzhi actually didn't want to cooperate with Xijiang in his heart, because he had an intuition that the alliance between Situ Tai and Situ Yushuang now looks amazing, coupled with the support of external forces, it seems that there are not inferior to Xijiang and even surpasses the strength of Xijiang in terms of overall strength, but the fragility and looseness of this alliance determines its fate is worrying, and cooperating with Xijiang will only accelerate the collapse of this alliance, and when this alliance between Situ Tai and Situ Yushuang is finished, as an ally, it may become an enemy. Compared with this kind of alliance with different evil intentions, Western Xinjiang is in the hands of a powerful person, unified government and military orders, and a strong armed force, perhaps its weakness is probably that compared with the excessively large armed forces, the backward economy of Western Xinjiang and the environment in which it is located are not very peaceful, such a huge armed force Hu Tingzhi has not been able to understand how Western Xinjiang's finances can be supported.

According to his calculations, with the existing armed forces in Western Xinjiang, Xijiang's finances should have gone bankrupt several times a long time ago, even if there is bank support, but this will never last so long, financiers are not philanthropists, they cannot infinitely put funds into a financially unsupportable regime, although it is said that Xijiang made a lot of money in grain speculation last year, but it is still impossible to maintain such a large-scale army, and what is even more strange is that long before grain speculation, Xijiang's military strength has swelled to an astonishing extent, but the finances can still be maintained, and there are funds for speculation, which is a problem that Hu Tingzhi can't get through if he wants to break his head。

Hu Tingzhi inferred that there should be other channels for raising funds in Western Xinjiang, but just thinking about such a huge amount of military expenditure makes one feel terrified, and how did Western Xinjiang obtain this funding from channels other than fiscal and taxation? Hu Tingzhi has been tirelessly searching for this answer, but until now he has not found a reasonable explanation.
