Troubled Times

Fang Han knocked on the door of the study: "Uncle, are you looking for me?".

"Well, it's still a matter in the Northeast. Although Zhuang Xun has repelled, it is actually a hidden danger. The opinions of the cabinet have not been unified. Some people advocate the battle, while others advocate peace. The government decided to hold a cabinet meeting tomorrow to discuss this matter together. " Jiang Yihong frowned slightly, the current situation was unstable, the government was still discord, everyone was thinking of their own interests, never considering the overall situation.

"Zhuang Xun has been seriously injured at this time, and our army has not withdrawn, we need to make a decision early! It would be a pity if we give up. Is the president the main battle or the main peace?" Fang Han asked, if the president does not agree to fight, what will they do? I'm afraid there is no way.

"I think the president's attitude is that he doesn't want to fight. He said that this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term way, and we should take it easy." Jiang Yihong sighed.

"You who are greedy for life and afraid of death! It's only been a few days of easy life and I forgot the previous lesson." Fang Han said angrily.

Jiang Yihong shook his head helplessly, "Even so, there is nothing we can do. Moreover, the President is worried about transferring troops away from the Beiting, and the group of people in the south will cause some trouble."

"Uncle, the troops in several provinces of Beiting are under our control now. If the president is like this, why don't we... replace him? The Sifang warlords are already like this, why do we still have to be subservient?" Fang Han looked at Jiang Yihong.

After hearing this, Jiang Yihong glanced at Fang Han standing in front of the table unexpectedly, and said, "Now is not the time. After all, Beiting still occupies an orthodoxy. Although the four warlords have established forces, they cannot be unified. The political status of the warlords is here. Those warlords who want to establish themselves as kings are not justified. If we rebel, even if there is a legitimate reason, the warlords in other places will definitely not accept it. At that time, they can use this to unite and attack Beiting .”

"Uncle is very right, this matter still needs to be deployed slowly." Fang Han agreed.

Jiang Yihong patted him on the shoulder in relief, and said: "Remember, what people who achieve great things need most is patience, and don't be too reckless in everything!"

"Yes" Fang Han gave a military salute.Now the government is headed by Zhang Tianlin, mainly supported by local forces. The central government does not have military power, but almost all the members of the cabinet meeting are his confidants.

"Young Marshal, we followed Han Feicheng's people and found Han Feiyu. When we arrived, Han Feiyu was seriously injured by them. We didn't know whether to save him or not if we didn't receive the order. At this time, Master Jiang rushed out to save Han Feiyu. Arrived in Liyuan." Private guard Jiang Rui reported.Jiang Rui didn't have this real name, but because his parents died early and was adopted by Jiang Yihong, he changed his surname to Jiang and stayed by Fang Han's side.

"Oh, the person Ah Ying saved that day was Han Feiyu, and Han Tong owed us a big favor! Their house is really messy enough." Fang Han paused. "Protect Han Feiyu for me. If he dies on our territory, Han Tong will definitely end up with us, and it will be troublesome for multiple opponents to worry about him."

In the government hall, Chief Justice Feng Zeng saw Jiang Yihong and his party at the door of the meeting hall.

"Marshal Jiang, there is no reason for soldiers below the rank of marshal to participate in cabinet meetings. With so many people here this time, do you want to threaten the president with a large number of people?" Feng Zeng was the first to express his dissatisfaction. He said It's also straightforward, and people have to admire his courage.

"Hehe, the chief is joking. Soldiers are also members of the people, but they are just expressing some opinions on state affairs and doing their own meager power. You are saying that seriously? The chief is so resistant to their participation, is it because he doesn't want to listen to the opinions of the people? , let the president wear the hat of arbitrariness?" Jiang Yihong said unhurriedly.After bypassing Feng Zeng, he went in.

Zhang Tianlin, who was sitting in the room, heard his words at the door, his face froze, and he raised his voice and said, "Marshal Jiang, don't misunderstand, because there is no such exception in the cabinet meeting, and Feng Zeng just followed the rules. But the rules are made by people." Yes, you can also change it appropriately."

Hearing this, Jiang Yihong relaxed his expression slightly, walked into the room, stood up first when everyone was present, and said, "Then Jiang will speak directly. Regarding the question of whether to send troops this time, Jiang Yihong A certain person would like to offer his own opinion. If the Northeast was the first to revolt, if they do not crack down severely, other regions will think that there is no one in Beiting, and follow the example of the Northeast. These regions are completely out of the control of the president. Therefore, on behalf of the military department, I hope that the president can severely punish the Northeast uprising army.”

As soon as Jiang Yihong said this, several cabinet ministers across from him began to discuss.

"But there are not enough troops now. If the Han family from the south of the Yangtze River takes the opportunity to fight over, wouldn't it be impossible for us to resist." Ma Zhe questioned.

Fang Han, who was sitting by the side, snorted coldly in his heart. This Ma Zhe probably hooked up with the Han family long ago. If the Han family joined forces, this guy would definitely be the first to respond.

"Lord Ma, you are too worried. We have already reached an agreement with the Pang family in the southwest. As long as the Han family dares to do something, we will unite and strangle him from the south to the north. We will definitely not let the Han family take advantage of it." Jiang Yihong said as if Inadvertently looked at Ma Zhe and smiled, but in Ma Zhe's eyes, it seemed that something had been discovered.He didn't expect Jiang Yihong to be able to unite with those bandits in the southwest, and his heart suddenly turned cold.Ordinary people don't want to lose their worth by being in the company of those bandits.After all, he underestimated Jiang Yihong, and some things seemed to be re-planned.

"Marshal Jiang, how can you be sure that the Pang family is sincerely cooperating with us? You must know that those bandits are not loyal people." Hearing the rebuttal of the navy chief Xue Mingbi, Ma Zhe's eyes lit up, yes, bandits are not so It's easy to cooperate. Could it be that Jiang Yihong came to deceive them in order to send troops?

Zhang Tianlin seemed to have thought of this possibility, and looked at Jiang Yihong with a gloomy expression.

"The Southwest is a barren land, and its economy is extremely backward. Although they want to change, if Jiangnan, which is next to them, is unwilling, they can't do business by force. The Han family has always looked down on these bandits, so they don't want to do business with them. We just promised them that no matter whether it is Jiangnan or Southeast, as long as we capture it, we can do business with them." Jiang Yihong explained.

"Then can't they take down Tongshang by themselves?" Asked Cheng Minfeng, chief of agriculture and commerce.

"The Pang family is somewhat self-aware. They know that even if those places are captured, they may not be able to rule them. I have promised them that as long as the two armies unite, they will send some business talents and merchants to the southwest to do business. But is there any adult who needs to answer? " Jiang Yihong looked at several cabinet ministers present and asked.Seeing that no one spoke, Jiang Yihong said again: "Since there is no objection, I hope the president will make a decision sooner.

In the military commander's study

"Why did uncle agree to let businessmen go to places like the Southwest?" Fang Han didn't understand what Jiang Yihong was doing.

"Why can't we go to the Southwest? We must know that the Southwest is a place that hasn't been really used for thousands of years. I agreed to this, and I also want to go to the past wisely to see if there is anything worthwhile. We develop business places. If they are unified in the future, every piece of land will determine the national strength."

"Uncle still thinks long-term"
