On the first day of King Jin's arrival in Youzhou City, there was a great uproar, and when he was talking with officials above the fifth grade, Yang Guang had already ordered people to go to the camp of the prince's army and directly began to split.

Of course these people were unwilling, but they found that they couldn't find their superiors, without the orders of their superiors, how could they dare to disobey the orders of the King of Jin, and besides, the big black man in the lead was carrying a pitch-black spear, and it was not easy to mess with him.

The most fearful thing about the high-pressure policy is to cause resistance, but the prince has been locked in seclusion for a long time, in fact, the people of the prince's party also know in their hearts that if they resist only stubbornly, now several people in charge have been transferred, and the people below have no backbone, but are just transferred to other places, which is better than direct liquidation.

Even if there is a slight dissatisfaction, there are very few words.

In the Assassin's Mansion, Yang Guang dispersed everyone, leaving only the Yin Shishi Sect behind.

The Yin Shishi asked again puzzled: "Your Highness, now that there is no one around, Weichen still wonders why His Highness wants me to go to the river to set off cannons, isn't this a reminder to the Goguryeo people?" ”

"Do you think I'm just trying to make a name for myself or if I'm trying to do it for another purpose?"

"I naturally feel that it is impossible for His Highness to delay the fighter in order to show off his might, although I have not seen His Highness for a long time, but from the past hearing and short contact, Wei Chen does not think that His Highness is a person who likes to show off his might, on the contrary, His Highness is far more calm than I expected, but I really don't understand what His Highness's purpose is for doing this?"

Yin Shishi is Yang Guang's most trusted person in the Youzhou Army at present.

"It's also the method I just thought of when I looked at your Kanyu map."

Yang Guang walked down, walked alone with the Yin Shishi in front of the Kanyu map, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sharpest position of the Liaodong Peninsula and asked, "Here, how far is it from the closest place to my Great Sui?" ”

The Yin Shi Master looked carefully: "There are about three or four hundred miles of road." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yin World Master instantly reacted: "Your Highness, you won't be ......"

"But Your Highness, with such a distant waterway, our army has never fought such a water battle."

Yang Guang asked rhetorically: "Our army has not fought, has the Goguryeo army fought?" ”

Yang Guang's rhetorical question made Yin Shishi stunned, he didn't expect this angle of thinking about the problem, since he hadn't fought it, he must be defenseless, and the other party didn't even think that the Great Sui army would come from the sea.

Therefore, his army is pressed on the border line, firstly, to avoid being attacked by the Sui army and seize the city as before, and secondly, now that they have firearms, they seem to have the confidence to shout with the Sui army.

Yang Guang estimated that they and the Khitan in the north should have some small moves in the premeditated, as for the specific plan, it is unknown.

"Netherworld, my plan may be a bit risky, but the matter of fighting a war itself is risky, and if a big ship wants to attack over such a long distance, I have to negotiate with my navy, so this matter must be kept secret."

"Weichen understands that no second person knows about this matter except Weichen."

"I trust you so I told you about this, and there are a few things you need to do next."

Knowing that Yang Guang had such a plan, the Yin Shishi was even more determined, and immediately replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you command." ”

"First, send spies to help me find out if Goguryeo really has the ability to manufacture firearms, or if the firearms they have now were bought from our spies, and if they really have the ability to manufacture firearms, help me figure out where their firearms arsenal is."

This is what Yang Guang is most concerned about, if North Korea really has the ability to manufacture firearms, then it means that they understand the principle of gunpowder, and have the ability to supply follow-up, although the current firearms of the Great Sui are definitely better than those of Goguryeo, but the gap is narrowing.

"Second, send spies to the Khitan, the Khitan is in our north, after the Turks are weak, the Khitan will take advantage of the situation to become bigger, although we don't plan to do anything to the Khitan now, but we also have to guard against it, and come back with more news."

"Third, create a tense and antagonistic atmosphere on the border, our Great Sui is strong, and Goguryeo will never dare to rashly invade, creating a tense atmosphere, which can attract their attention to this side and buy time for our warships."

"Fourth, help me deliver a letter to the king of Goguryeo, and I want to meet him at the border."

Hearing the last thing, the Yin World Master hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, you have a golden body, it's too dangerous to meet their king." ”

"Let's go ahead of this, do you think their king really dares to meet me?"

The Yin World Master was stunned for a moment: "Ying ...... I don't dare. ”

"That's right, but he'll keep thinking about why I'm going to meet him, it's just a small way to make the other party suspicious."

The Yin World Master didn't know what His Highness was thinking in front of him.

After the order was finished, the Yin World Master retreated first, and as soon as he returned to his house, there was a group of people waiting for him.

They were all the main generals of the Youzhou Army and the officials in the city, and the Yin Shishi ordered most of them to leave first, leaving a few important people behind.

The other party asked very anxiously: "General, what is the number of His Royal Highness the King of Jin?" Why did you deal with all the prince's subordinates in front of us? This is a slap in the face of the prince, and it is also for me to wait for a dismount, even the prince's subordinates don't pay attention to them, let's count a few green onions. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness King Jin has his own reasons for doing things."

The person who spoke before was silent, and another person on the side asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin dares to do this, does this mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really can't come back?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say the rest of the words.

The Yin Shishi interrupted their speculation: "I'm waiting to sit in Youzhou, and the news above the court will come slowly, but don't speculate, since the imperial court has sent His Royal Highness the King of Jin over, then it naturally has its deep meaning, and we just need to do things." ”

When everyone heard the Yin World Master say this, they stopped talking about it.

"General, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has just arrived in Youzhou to give you the title of taking charge of the military of Yingzhou, this is deliberately trying to win you over."

"Can't you see it yourself?"

Yin Shishi took a sip of tea: "Whether it is deliberately wooed, or sincerely, at least His Royal Highness the King of Jin is much better now than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and it has also given us a lot of self-care rights for the Youzhou Army, which is a good thing for everyone." ”

"We have to think about it ourselves, at the moment of state affairs, it is better for a person like His Royal Highness the King of Jin to be the commander than for the imperial court to send someone who does not understand military affairs, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has fought after all, he knows the hard work of being a soldier, and he also knows that we are desperate to sacrifice our lives for the country, for something, now I am acting as the military affairs of Yingzhou, and I can count it in this area."

"Yingzhou is adjacent to Goguryeo, and there may be a war at any time, which of you is willing to go with me?"

"I'll go."

"I'll go."

"Where are you going, Yingzhou, I followed the old general, I went with the little general."

For a while, General Yinshou's group of old subordinates began to ask to accompany him.

They are a group of people who follow Yin Shou, and no matter where they go, they will form an interest group, and do their best to keep this interest group from being destroyed, so as to maintain the stability of their own interests.

After the death of General Yin Shou, this interest group that favored the military generals had no backbone, and maintained a network of intertwined relationships, and the Yin Shishi was reused, and for them, the central figure of this interest group was re-established.

Yang Guang naturally understands the disadvantages of reusing the Yin World Master, once such a Youzhou City interest group continues to be inherited, it will definitely become an unbreakable gate lord in the future.

This is also the reason why after the death of General Yin Shou, the emperor gave Yin Shishi, the successor who was in his twenties and was a young man, only a name and no real power.

But at this time, although there are drawbacks, but the benefits are greater, so you have to use it.

Just the reuse of the Yin World Master can greatly alleviate the differences within the Youzhou Army, so why not do it for Yang Guang?

And Youzhou has its own interest group, doesn't Yang Guang have it? He also needs such a young talent to become his helper, as long as Yin Shishi does well this time, then he can officially join the core interest group that belongs to Yang Guang and belongs to the future of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Yin Shishi is a smart person, understands what Yang Guang means, and at this time, he should be doing his best.

……

On the second day after Yang Guang arrived in Youzhou City, Qiao Zhuang dressed up and went out, first to see the situation in Youzhou City.

Behind Youzhou City are Zhuojun and other places, there are quite a lot of noble families in this area, and it is naturally easy to give birth to some noble clans in ancient times, but Yang Guang doesn't plan to meet them, so it would be good for Yang Xuangan, who came in the future, to meet him instead.

Visit Youzhou City to see the local situation.

Youzhou City is different from Daxing City, even if it is a sunny day, it seems to be shrouded in a thin layer of clouds and cold fog, if Daxing City is a lively warm color, this populous Youzhou City is a bleak cold color.

Maybe it has something to do with the city's positioning.

As a border fortress, there are many people in the city, but a large part of them are soldiers, and there are military families, and the people here seem to be much more nervous than the people in Daxing City, and they do things quickly, and they eat quickly, as if they are in a hurry.

The only thing that slowed down was the tavern teahouse where the rich rested.

The simplest and most direct way to evaluate whether a city is truly prosperous is not to look at its population, economy, and high-rise buildings, but to look at its lowest place, the beggars.

There are many beggars in Youzhou City.

Yang Guang asked Qin Qiong: "Qin Qiong, the wealth of Daxing City can't cover Youzhou City now, how do you think it is good to develop Youzhou City." ”

"Your Highness, where am I the material in this regard, if you ask me, I can't answer."

"Qin Qiong, you can't just follow my martial arts, you have to learn something else by my side, do you know why I seem to make decisions easier than others?"

"Your Highness is very talented."

"The sycophants are also unsatisfactory."

Qin Qiong smiled.

"Qin Qiong, you are young, you have to study hard, the reason why I make decisions easier than others is because I have two weapons that you don't seem to be aware of but are the deadliest."

"Which two?"

"One is money, the other is food."

Qin Qiong thought about it carefully, and when he was doing things next to Yang Guang, he never seemed to have considered these two things, and after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to understand, it was because he didn't have to think about it that surprised him, and before he knew it, Yang Guang was so rich that he didn't need to think about it.

Yang Guang climbed the city tower and sighed lightly: "The prince and Uncle Wei went out to fight, the money and grain were allocated by the imperial court, the prince's temperament, which also had to eat a lot of empty salary, when making some decisions, it was difficult to make a decision if the money and food were not enough, and I was afraid that the transportation of grain and grass would be delayed, and it would be even more troublesome, after all, the court and the father did not understand, and would not arrange too much money and grain for him to squander at will." ”

"I'm different, I use the money and grain given by the court first, I have a lot of money, I can spend it if I can't do it, I win the battle, I have a way to earn it back, and I don't have to worry about the grain and grass, Luoyang's national granary, I ordered it to be man-made, and the management is also my people, I can move first if it doesn't work."

"These two things have no worries, and it is much easier to make things and decisions, just like I plan to use the navy to attack Goguryeo, which will increase the budget, but I am not worried at all that the father of this money will not be approved, because I have the bottom in my heart."

Qin Qiong sighed sincerely: "Your Highness is still powerful." ”

"I'm not telling you this to make you sigh how powerful I am, but to make you understand that in fact, many times, we have to think not only about how to fight, but also how to save money and food.

If you don't have these two things, the soldiers won't fight for you, and the people will turn against you.

"Your Highness, what are you talking to me about? I, Qin Qiong, am just a military general, and I have to be as smart as Your Highness to manage these things. ”

"Don't be presumptuous, Qin Qiong, I tell you these things, just to see that you are a material that can be made, from today on, in addition to practicing martial arts, you will also take a good look at me, study hard, read more books, and when you are older, I may not be able to send you out."

"Your Highness...... I...... May I? ”

Yang Guang patted Qin Qiong's shoulder heavily: "I am most optimistic about you, so you must work hard." ”

Qin Qiong looked at Yang Guang with gratitude: "King Jin, Your Highness, Qin Qiong will definitely sacrifice his life to serve." ”

This kind of famous general who has been cultivated by his side since he was a child, is loyal and righteous, and always has a trace of apology for himself because of Liu Wuzhou's affairs, who will be cultivated?

Yang Guang's expectation for Qin Qiong is that he is a trustworthy future feudal official with heavy troops.

Yin Shishi's wooing is a short-term and efficient, and the choice after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Qiong's cultivation is long-term, and the effect may be slow, but it is more sustainable and stable.

Yang Guang has now begun to lay out his forces for the future, and now the situation about the position of the prince is already offensive and defensive, he attacked at the beginning, the prince defended, and now he is the one who wants to hold this position, although he has not yet obtained this position.
