Section 48 East and West

readx;

Shaking his head, as if to put these chaotic thoughts aside, Wu Feng tried to calm his mind and return his thoughts to the problem at hand, "Longdong is a strategic place, it is indeed worth paying attention to, but I am thinking that the empire will probably see this, and it will not let it go, I estimate that the divisions of the Imperial City Guard Corps are also staring there, even if we can take Longdong Mansion City, under the order of the empire, we may only have to withdraw obediently." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info And the Taiping Sect that Bo Jinchen will not be able to see the important surname of Longdong Mansion City, there will definitely be countermeasures, and sending troops to seize Partridge Pass is probably to prevent us from attacking Longdong Mansion City on both sides. ”

The three of them all agreed with Wu Feng's opinion, but they felt that it would be a pity if they didn't take this opportunity to take Longdong Mansion City, so they were unwilling to smack their lips.

"Okay, here in Longdong, I think we can step up the collection of intelligence, if we don't take it at this time, it doesn't mean that we won't do it in the future, since the empire is confident that we will take it by ourselves, then let's stand by and watch." Wu Feng said thoughtfully, "What do you think of Xikang?"

"I don't think it's appropriate for us to send troops to Xikang now, the land is sparsely populated, unless we take Xikang Mansion City in one go, there is not much need to disperse our already somewhat insufficient troops, it is better to wait for the time to be ripe and conquer Longdong first. The dragon offered his own opinion.

"I also agree with my own opinion, now our strength is a little weak, whether it is the Taiping army or the strength of the emperor [***] side is quite considerable, we can only wait for the opportunity at this time. Mulig also supports the dragon's own view.

Hearing the two of them say this, Wu Feng was very relieved in his heart, worthy of being the commander of his main division, although he was also eager to fight and make meritorious contributions, but he was not blind and reckless, and he was able to calmly judge the direction of action according to the battlefield situation and the comparison of forces between the enemy and us, which is the minimum quality of becoming a commander in charge of himself, and it can be seen that these two people have indeed matured a lot in the past few years with him, while Shenai is a little frizzy, it seems that more training is good for his growth.

"Well, everyone should go down to rest, rest, should be arranged, since this partridge pass is in our hands, we have to keep it, and the logistics work, especially the defense side, will be handed over to the Second Division of Reading Force, I think there is still a lot of defensive equipment here, you had better send someone to coordinate with the War Readiness Department, so that they can send it as soon as possible." Although Wu Feng was very happy in his heart, he didn't show his face, just made a simple arrangement.

Returning to the study, he took the thick piece of information handed to him by Qin Shuangying, it was the information that Gu Dengyun sent back from Hanzhong, how could there be so much? Wufeng felt a little strange in his heart, took it, and only read a few words, and was fascinated.

The lights in the study were turned on, and Wu Feng was still reading carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, obviously this information was very important, after reading it, Wu Feng stroked his forehead and pondered, and he didn't even notice the tea cup that Qin Shuangying handed to his hand.

"Brother Feng, take a break. Awakened from his contemplation, Wu Feng hurriedly took the teacup in the beauty's hand, and subconsciously put it to his lips and took a sip, but his mind was still on the information sent back by Gu Dengyun. This is a summary of the Taiping Sect's intelligence in all aspects of the Kansai region in recent times, which is quite detailed, and what satisfies Wu Feng the most is that there are a lot of Gu Dengyun's personal opinions added to it, these views are very much in line with Wu Feng's appetite, and some of the suggestions put forward are also quite practical, which makes Wu Feng's heart also shocked.

The situation of the Taiping Sect in the Kansai region has undergone new changes, especially in the area of pacifying people's minds.

First of all, the Taiping Sect changed the original article that the land of the nobles and landlords should be confiscated and distributed to the poor parishioners, but the land of those nobles and landlords who fled because they were afraid of the Taiping Sect was confiscated and distributed to the parishioners. Merchants and landlords were protected, because most of the fleeing were imperial gentry who owned a lot of land, and there was a lot of land left, and those poor parishioners also got a relatively sufficient amount of land, and the interests of those upper gentry who were willing to cooperate with the Taiping Sect were also protected, so the situation in the entire Kansai region has been relatively calm, and the rule of the Taiping Sect has also been temporarily recognized to a certain extent among the local middle and upper class gentry, which is quite conducive to the consolidation of Taiping Sect's rule.

Second, the Taiping Sect also took some new measures on the economic front, such as reducing taxes to buy off middle and lower classes of industrialists and merchants and peasants who owned small plots of land, promulgating some regulations to encourage the development of industry and commerce, and cracking down on the big nobles, large landowners, and big merchants who were close to the imperial government, confiscating all their property, obtaining huge sums of money, and laying the material foundation for the expansion of military power.

Third, the dilution and weakening of some of the more extreme doctrines in the original doctrine, such as equalizing the rich and the poor, abolishing slavery, and strictly prohibiting the use of slave labor, have not been completely abolished, but they have won the approval of many people.

In short, these measures have greatly consolidated the rule of the Taiping Sect in the Kansai region, and many businessmen have taken the initiative to express their willingness to cooperate with the Taiping Sect, and many others have also expressed their condition to accept the management of the Taiping Sect.

In his letter, Gu Dengyun pointed out that measures should be taken to poison the local atmosphere, provoke contradictions between various local social strata, including Christians and non-Christians, and between neutrals and pro-Taiping sects, and divide and disintegrate and divide them from within; externally, we should intensify the economic blockade of the areas controlled by the Taiping Sect, prohibit economic contacts with those businessmen who are willing to cooperate with the Taiping Sect in the areas controlled by the Taiping Sect, and if necessary, adopt special measures to crack down on them, and so on.

It can be seen that Gu Dengyun has put a lot of effort into this information, whether it is the introduction of the situation and the countermeasures, it is reasonable, and he nods more than nodding at Wufeng, and he has not slept all night.

Seeing the battle report sent back from Longdong and Xikang, Bo Jinchen was shocked in his heart, Li Wufeng really made a move, and as soon as he came, he confronted the Holy Sect Army, it seems that he is still a little careless, if he takes the lead, maybe the situation will not be so grim.

Sighing, Bo Jinchen stood up, the map on the desk flickered under the oil lamp, the grandmaster and several envoys in the sect had already left Kansai and turned to Heshuo to the north, and the second young master also went to the Maqi Khanate, the north was about to rise, and all the affairs of Kansai were handed over to him, and he suddenly felt that the pressure was doubled, but the situation was becoming more and more serious, and the slightest carelessness would bring serious consequences to future development.

The information sent from all over the country carefully passed through his mind, Bo Jinchen's thin face became more and more cloudy under the light, although the situation was grim, but it was not yet out of control, it seemed that the empire was determined to refuse the "help" of the Northwest Army, otherwise Li Wufeng's army would not stop, but it depended on how long the empire could survive.

Bo Jinchen is still very confident in the defense of Longdong City, the defender of Longdong City is his own protégé, and has nearly 50,000 troops, and the city wall has also been thickened and reinforced, not to mention that some measures have been taken to improve the situation in Longdong. However, if the Northwest Army and the Imperial Army were to be flanked in front and back, there would be danger, and it is not yet clear that there is a trend in this regard, but it does not mean that the enemy will still stand still like this when the situation develops, and in many cases, the situation will change with the change of circumstances.

It seems that we have to consider taking measures from Xikang's side, in case once the situation changes, the Northwest Army will inevitably take advantage of the fire to loot. Bo Jinchen paced around the table while carefully thinking about how to deal with it.

30,000 people can't withstand a battle and only 8,000 people are left, it seems that the strength of the Northwest Army is still underestimated, if the emperor [***] team is like this, I'm afraid I can only admit that I have failed. You have to arrange it well, and you must not let Li Wufeng take the opportunity to pick a bargain.

Liang Chongxin looked at the emergency report in his hand with a gloomy face, this is an emergency report from Qingyang, it was sent with a special snow pigeon, it seems that the matter is not a good thing, several people next to him looked at each other, I don't know what happened to make Liang Chongxin look so cautious.

After reading the letter, Liang Chong's confidence was a little depressed, these Western Regions fever will really pick the time, at this time, they will actually want to engage in a joint defensive front, it seems that they are impatient, this so-called joint defensive front is too obvious, it is either aimed at their own side or against the Luope people, what will the Luope people think?

Now that the battle against the Punjabs has just begun, I have gathered so many troops and I want to fight a good battle, it seems that I am going to fail, the adults in the letter want to look at the overall situation by themselves, don't lose the big because of the small, the implication is probably to stop the battle of the Punjabs in moderation, don't force the other party to be anxious, it seems that his cleverly designed battle can only be shelved, smacking his lips regretfully, Liang Chongxin glanced at the four people who looked at him next to him, and said calmly: "What are you looking at? Go back and rest!"

"Boss Liang, what's going on?" Helian stood up and asked in a rough voice.

"Yes, Lord Liang, the children are still waiting for a good fight and a good lesson to teach those Indean rabbit cubs!" ”

Ignoring the two, Liang Chongxin directly ordered: "Come, go and invite Lord Luhmann to come, and say that I want to discuss with him about having people go and talk to the Punjabi about the ransom of the captives." ”

"Yes!" As soon as the soldier who received the order stepped out of the door, the room exploded.

"What?!

"Then what do you mean by that?" Liang Chongxin calmly turned his face and asked.

One sentence choked Helian Bo almost speechless, and his swarthy face turned a little red, "I, I mean, Boss Liang, can you explain to us what is going on?"

"Yes, there has to be a reason, we worked so hard to design such a plan, and it was so silently miscarried, uh, this, isn't it ''''''?" Shanzhu's thick lips muttered, and when he saw Liang Chongxin's gaze sweeping over, he had no choice but to take back the words that came to his mouth.

However, although the other two were also puzzled, they didn't say much, but their eyes were obviously waiting for his explanation. With a sigh of relief, Liang Chongxin said: "Do you think I'm willing to do this, don't I want to clean up this group of guys who are strong outside, but the situation has changed, those guys in the north of us are a little restless, and we have to deal with those guys first." ”

"Oh, the countries of the Western Regions are about to their tails again?" Ling Fox Wing picked up.

"Well, I never give up. The joint plan at the beginning of the year was disrupted by Su Qin, no, here it is again, but this time it was carried out in secret, and it seems that it is also preventing us from detecting it. I don't know where did you get the information?" Liang Chongxin shrugged and smiled: "No way, the adults have arranged for everyone to obey." ”

"Then, if it's not a battle, you don't have to fight?" asked Shanzhu as he licked his thick lips and asked with a disappointed face, and a large group of brothers under his hand pestered him all day long to ask for a war, making his own head bigger.

It's no wonder that they, when they recruited and selected them at the beginning, who let themselves talk nonsense with their open mouths, they had to fight with Master Li, and if they won the battle, they could be promoted and make a fortune. Ordinary soldiers who are promoted don't care too much, after all, the number of officers is limited, not everyone can be a person, but making a fortune is different, as long as you win the battle, I heard that Lord Li has always been generous, and never treats the brothers who have won the battle, these words were blown to the sky by his own group of subordinates, and the training of the troops became more and more hard, and everyone was holding back their energy, just waiting to be able to beat him happily, this is good, just caught up with a battle, and it is not enjoyable, this is yellow again.

"Hehe, don't worry, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, I see that these guys in the Western Regions have itchy skin, and they need us to scratch him, I want to see if this joint defensive front can defend us?"

"Division commander, do you say that the countries of the Western Regions have established this so-called joint defensive front without scrupling the Luope people in the north?" Qu Bo, who had not spoken, finally got to the point.

The room that was still noisy suddenly fell silent, and several people were thinking about this very obvious problem, the establishment of a joint defensive front can be concealed for a while, but it can't be concealed for a lifetime, the current general of the Luope people to conquer the east Besan is not a mediocre person, once the matter is gone, the joint intervention of the two sides is enough to make the five countries of the Western Regions fall into a situation of no return, what kind of problem does this mean?
