"If this can really be done, I, the governor of Northern Luzon, will first ask for the merit of Lord Cui, and I will personally celebrate Lord Cui in the most solemn way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although Kong Yunzhen believed that this was possible, he still suspected that the plan to provoke an all-out war with the Luzon people at such a time was not in line with the intentions of the imperial government.

"Master Kong, it seems that you still have some doubts about my intention to come to Northern Luzon this time, His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Privy Council have authorized me to handle all the military affairs of the Big 6 region, that is to say, how to compete with these opponents of ours in the Big 6, everything is up to me to plan and decide. Glancing at the other party with a smile, Cui Xiu said lightly.

Kong Yunzhen doesn't care about the sarcasm of the other party's words, the martial arts go their own way and have nothing to do with each other, although Cui Xiu is the commander of the big 6 military, he has no right to interfere in his normal government affairs, this is the principle determined by the empire, the government council and the privy council are not subordinate to each other, they only cooperate with each other, and the local government only has the obligation to cooperate with the garrison, unless it enters the state of military control, Cui Xiu can only give orders in his own army. However, Kong Yunzhen didn't want to separate from the other party, after all, it was all for the interests of the empire, and it was pointless to fight for these wills.

"Hehe, Master Cui, our North Luzon is also your defense area, if there is any need, just put it forward, as long as North Luzon can do it, Kong will definitely give it his full support. ”

"Okay, what Cui wants is the words of Master Kong, Cui Mou's coming to Da 6 this time is not something that can be done in a year and a half, and this war is also an important step in the westward expansion strategy determined by the empire. I hope that Master Kong can fully cooperate with my actions here, and when the time comes, Cui will promise to let you add two more prefectures to Northern Luzon County. Cui Xiu was not polite, and spoke arrogantly.

Kong Yunzhen's eyes lit up, it seems that this guy really wants to dig a hoe in the Luzon people's homeland, if there is really such a good thing, he needs to make friends with the best of this emperor.

"Master Cui is serious. You and I are both officials in the empire, although Wu Shu has a different way. However, it is the same on the point of safeguarding the interests of the empire, and what needs the military should also be supported by our local government. Kong Yunzhen stopped playing with the empty ground at this time, and asked the substantive questions directly.

"It's very simple, Master Kong, you see that there is not a decent city in this Pamir region for a hundred miles. There is not a single fortress that can provide our army with support, although the possibility of an attack on the Pamir region is very small at present, but I want to make this a springboard for a southward assault, and my idea is to build some castles in the shallow hills near the Bamao region, as an offensive base for our Great 6th Front in Northern Luzon, well, right here. ”

At Cui Xiudi's signal, the military staff officer next to him had already spread out the prepared large-scale military map in front of the two. The commander of the Tenth Legion and the Andean Legion, who had come with Cui Xiu, and the local officials who had come with Kong Yunzhen, surrounded him.

Kong Yunzhen's gaze followed Cui Xiu's hand to a point at the southern end, and he muttered, "Jialing Mountain?"

"Yes, it's the Garing Mountains, although it is said to be mountainous, but the terrain is relatively gentle, according to what we know. This area is supposed to be an ancient mountain area, after thousands of years of erosion, the terrain seems to be very fragmented, here, here, and here, there are relatively low mountain passes that can easily enter and exit the Bamao area, if we can occupy these three key passes, and build them into castle-like fortresses, then we can almost be invincible in the Bamao area to the south. And they can go south at any time to cut off their corridors. Fatal blow to the Luzonians. Cui Xiu's words were full of unquestionable decisiveness.

"What? Master Cui is going to build three fortresses here?" was taken aback, and Kong Yunzhen almost stood up. He looked incredulous: "Lord Cui, do you know that this place is still thirty miles away from Pamir Town, and less than ten miles away from the border of Ba Mao, this area has a complex topography, and the roads are only connected by small roads, how can the materials be transported? How many people and laborers are needed? The total population of the Pamir region is only 100,000, where can you find so many laborers?"

"Master Kong, if there is no difficulty, does Cui still need to consult with you?" Cui Xiu was also a little angry, these people from the financial department are like this, they must be more than baht, they are afraid of difficulties like a tiger, and as soon as they put forward their opinions, this guy began to retreat.

"But, Lord Cui, it's not Kong who poured cold water on you, how much people do these three fortresses cost, how much materials do they need to consume, converted into gold coins, I'm afraid I can't take it without three or five million gold coins, not to mention that Northern Luzon can't afford this expense at all, even if I can afford it, I won't invest this money in this place." Kong Yunzhen's tone was not so polite, this is simply asking for human life, as soon as he took over, he put on such a hot potato, isn't it embarrassing?

"Hehe, the problem of funds, you don't need to worry about Lord Kong, and what I want to tell Lord Kong is that except for the one fortress that can accommodate more than 10,000 people, the other two fortresses are completely sufficient as long as they can accommodate 10,000 people, not the kind of large castle fortress you imagined. "My heart calmed down a little, it turned out that this guy thought that he wanted to let him pay for North Luzon, no wonder he pushed back, and it was no wonder that he wanted North Luzon to pay such a large sum of money to build a fortress in this place, and no one would be happy to be the governor.

"Oh?" I heard that the problem of funds should not be borne by myself, Kong Yunzhen suddenly became interested, as long as the money is not paid by himself, then it can be a good plan, if the other party can raise funds by himself, this money will be invested in Pamir, but it can greatly improve the investment environment in Pamir, think about it, this King Cui Yan is said to be famous in the golden land of Indean, I am afraid that it is easy to get a sum of money from the hands of Indean, and he needs to be good and befriend this guy. It's just that in a blink of an eye, Kong Yunzhen's attitude is a 180-degree turn: "If the funds are safe, then it can be a good new software for ants, not only to download and hoard the three fortresses in the Jialing Mountain area, but Kong Mou only saw that although the mountain rock in the Jialing Mountain area is weathered, it can still find some quarries that can be mined, well, Lord Yang, it seems that I heard you mention that there are a lot of stones that can be mined, right?"

An official-looking official nodded again and again: "Yes, Master Kong, this piece is a good piece of bluestone, a high-grade building material for building cities and buildings, but it is limited to road traffic conditions and cannot be opened on a large scale." ”

"It doesn't matter, since the military needs it, it's a top priority, and we have to cooperate no matter what. Although the problem of building materials has been solved, a large number of materials are still needed, such as the supply of the garrison, so Kong suggested that the road from Pamir Town to Garing Mountain should be repaired and widened immediately, and the road from Pamir Town to Shuangdui and Volcano Fu can also be arranged to start construction in the second phase. Minfu problem, Lord Yang, I'm afraid you have to think of a way to do this, now is the winter idle period, it should be possible to recruit twenty or thirty thousand laborers, and start the road from Pamir to Garing Mountain first, of course, the quarry must also be put in the first place. Kong Yunzhen began to arrange the work without asking anyone's opinion: "By the way, the timber problem also needs to be cut down immediately, a few more logging yards can be built along the Pamir Town to the Garing Mountains, now the climate is just right, the timber can just be dried, it won't be long before it can come in handy, tung oil and lacquer, you also need to buy it immediately, Lord Yang, you arrange someone to handle it immediately, you may need to buy it from the interior of the empire, you have to hurry up, write it down?"

A series of arrangements and abrupt changes in attitude made Cui Xiu and Qiu Zicheng, who have also seen a big scene, can't help but be dumbfounded, Cui Xiu can only say in his heart that he is convinced of these people from the financial department, as long as the problem of money is put aside, they are undoubtedly the best officials, without waiting for their own statement, they have a rough idea of the entire construction plan, but the priorities are quite in line with their own ideas. But this guy obviously has his own selfish intentions, obviously wants to tie the entire Pamir exhibition with his own plan to build a fortress, but if you want to mobilize the enthusiasm of this guy, I am afraid that if you don't give him a little thought, this guy will not be so interested.

"Master Kong, I seem to have heard that this is more like the infrastructure construction plan of the Pamir Province, how can it be counted on the head of our military?" Cui Xiu's leisurely smile made Kong Yun really feel a little uncomfortable.

"Uh, Master Cui, don't say that, Pamir is not only the focus of our Northern Luzon exhibition, but also a strategic place for the military, uh, of course, this must be dominated by the military, right, not to mention that you have to know the situation of our Northern Luzon, we can rely on the support of the army big brother, and the people of North Luzon will definitely remember the help of the army big brother to us, right?" Kong Yunzhen's attitude at this time is better than ever, and if he can hold on to this big pillar and shake it well, maybe he can let the Pamir take advantage of it.

Seeing the other party's brazen appearance, which is completely different from Fang Cai's justice, Cui Xiu is also angry and funny, these guys from the Financial Department are almost all cast in a mold, and they forget their righteousness when they see profit, which is simply a little unacceptable These guys are also from Western Xinjiang like themselves, and they still need to improve compared to him.
