Chapter 95: Remonstrance
Seeing You Daofang avoiding talking about the policy adjustments in the control area he mentioned, but suddenly shifted the topic to the empty and ethereal issues of Jiujiang and Wuhu, and constantly conceived the dream of the Holy Kingdom occupying the Five Lakes area. A glimmer of hope that had risen in Bo Jinchen's heart was like a broken kite shaking towards the endless darkness.
Cheng Dayou has clearly had a different dream with the Holy Kingdom. The officials sent by the Holy Kingdom were either excluded from the side or driven back and could not interfere in any matter. Bo Jinchen was sure that Cheng Dayou had colluded with some powerful people in the empire, but on the surface he was still vain with the Holy Kingdom, but the Holy King did not believe it. He even wanted to inspect Jiujiang. If it weren't for his repeated dissuasion with Xu Wenzhe, he would have really made a journey. Going south to the Five Lakes? That was just a distant dream. If this continued, the Holy Kingdom would never have that day.
Bo Jinchen, with a gray face, no longer had the intention to listen to You Daofang, who was standing in the hall talking loudly, but just stared indifferently at the obedient colleagues in the hall. It was not until You Daofang Shen finished talking that You Dao remembered the topic that he, the Wu Xiang, who had already gone further and further from him, mentioned today.
"Well, as for the questions raised by Bo Xiang today, it is indeed worthy of everyone's attention. Many things are too much and too little, and everyone should consider them in the future policy operation process." After glanced at the expressionless wave process, You Daofang's few words casually put the opinions raised by Bo Jinchen's careful consideration aside, and only heard a group of people cheering loudly: "The Holy King clearly decided!" and declared the end of the meeting.
"Wenzhe, Bailin, do you think there is still hope for us to continue like this?" He had moved to the Wu Prime Minister's Mansion, and the dry lights were like beans. Occasionally, a trace of cold wind passing through the gaps swayed, and the lights were swaying, and there were shadows. "Your master can no longer listen to any different opinions. I don't know how he became like this. After Anyuan established the Holy Kingdom, I felt that he had changed, and it became more and more obvious. I don't know if you two felt this?"
The faces of the two young men sitting in the lower head flashed with painful confusion. They were all present during the daytime debate. Although they were more inclined to the opinions of the poor, in the face of such fierce debate, such opinions of Yu Yongzhi's faction still make sense. Is the current critical situation caused by policy mistakes in the Holy Kingdom?
"Bao Xiang, the master is now focusing more on studying the essence of the Holy Teachings, and may also ignore some changes in the reality. I think we can slowly persuade him through other methods." Xu Wenzhe's words were a bit reluctant, and even he himself felt that he didn't feel much persuasive.
"Wenzhe, don't say these unwilling words, how much time can we delay now? Once the Kamans have gained a foothold in Qinghe, they will not touch the imperial capital. It is the heart of the empire and will be counterattacked by the entire empire. They can only advance west or south. To the west, the Pinglu Mansion is in the hands of Li Wufeng. According to information, Li Wufeng's Northwest Army has defeated the Kaman army that attacked south from Yulin. Now the Northwest Army gathered in Pinglu Mansion has more than 100,000 people, and it is still increasing. The combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army is far greater than our Taiping Army. I believe the Kamans will not chew this hard bone. At that time, the Black Mountain and Longquan in the north will become their next target. Li Wufeng will never sit by and watch the Kamans expand their territory in the Central Plains little by little. He will definitely advance eastward in front of the Kamans, and the river is not a natural barrier!" Bo Jinchen's face was extremely calm.
"But, the master has not understood the mind now, so we have no other way." Lan Bailin looked helpless.
A faint dark light flashed in Bo Jinchen's eyes, "If this continues, I am afraid that the Holy Kingdom will not last long. We only have the four Heshuo Mansions in our hands now, but Yu Yongzhi is already making this place angry and resentful. I am afraid that if we drag it down, we will not have to attack the Kamans or the Northwest Army. The gentry and tycoons here will attack them in groups."
Seeing that Wu Xiang, who was famous for his resourcefulness and decisiveness in the religion, both Xu Wenzhe and Lan Bailin couldn't help but sigh. From the peak of his life, he controlled the three counties almost as much as half an empire. The people rushed to support each other, and in just a few years it was difficult to maintain the existing base areas. The powerful enemies on both sides eroded and swallowed them, constantly suppressing the living space of the Holy Kingdom. The territory was betrayed by relatives and riots. Is the future of the Holy Kingdom really a flash in the pan?
"Bao Xiang, what do you think we should do?" Xu Wenzhe could see that there was something in the other party's words. He also knew that the other party must have other ideas to communicate with him. After all, he was the personal disciple of the Holy King. Although he was not considered a position in the Holy Kingdom structure, in the minds of ordinary church members, he was the successor of the Holy King. Perhaps the other party wanted to rely on his identities to achieve some goals.
Bo Jinchen's cold eyes were stumbled on the faces of the two of them. He was a little confused, but if he didn't make any decisions, he was afraid that the Holy Kingdom would really fall into a state of doom. To be honest, even if he changed his course now, Bo Jinchen himself did not have much confidence. The early movement that swept the entire control area had already allowed too many people to go to the opposite side of the Holy Kingdom. To resolute these situations, he didn't know how much effort and effort it would take. Will the surrounding enemies give him this opportunity? But if he didn't bet on this, he would really have no chance. The powerful enemies from the north and the west would strangle the cause of the Holy Kingdom on this land of Heshuo.
After thinking for a while, until the two of them had become a little confused when they were fighting, Bo Jinchen made up his mind. He calmed down and looked out the window: "Wenzhe, Bailin, I think I can only make a quick decision at the moment to remove Yu Yongzhi's military power and take him down. Yu Yongzhi's behavior in Heshuo was too much, and it had far exceeded the original boundary set by the Holy Kingdom. Moreover, a group of officers led by him colluded with officials, and through the equalization of wealth and poverty movement, I have received a lot of reports to him, and the evidence is conclusive. Only by releasing his power, and restoring the original policies in the four prefectures of Heshuo, mobilizing the enthusiasm of all parties
, restore production and economy, and at the same time, purify the team, eliminate the redundant military personnel, and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army. Only in this way may the Holy Kingdom have a way out. Now many senior officials in the Taiping Army are busy accumulating money and no longer have the aura of starting a business. They just want to save the current situation and be rich, but the enemy will tolerate us and continue like this in Heshuo? The answer is no, and they will not tolerate our Taiping Army staying in the core area of the Central Plains of this empire. Whether it is the Kamans, the Northwest Army, or even the Empire, now they regard us as soft persimmons, and the first knife will be cut at us. I think you two know as well that I am not exaggerating!"
Bo Jinchen's words can be said to be deafening, but what shocked the two of them was Bo Jinchen's suggestion to remove Yu Yongzhi's military power and bring him to justice! Yu Yongzhi is now the most popular general under the Holy King, and Heshuo can also be said to have been defeated by Yu Yongzhi. His relationship in Heshuo is also deeply rooted. If you want to touch him, don't talk about whether the Holy King will agree. If you don't do it well, you will be hurt by the other party.
"I have heard of Bo Xiang, and I have heard of what Yu Yongzhi did in Heshuo, but there are too many people involved, and the area involved is very wide. Heshuo is his old nest, and his relationship is complicated. Even if we want to move, he may not be able to move. In addition, I think even if you hand over the evidence you have about him embezzling money and property to my master, my master may not be willing to believe it. This is also the key point. If it is not easy to make a fuss, it will be even more troublesome." Xu Wenzhe finally spoke, and he thought it very thoughtfully. In such an internal struggle, the master's opinion is very important. Once the master supports Yu Yongzhi, Bo Xiang can be said to have no chance of winning.
"But Wenzhe, have you ever thought about how long can we last if this continues? My idea is to first transfer the Holy King out of Hejian and ask him to inspect Longquan or Heishan, and then you use your troops in Longquan to stabilize the position. I still have some influence on the tens of thousands of people returning from Qinghe. We can first capture Yu Yongzhi and then make his actions public. Apart from the few people who are particularly tightly wrapped with Yu Yongzhi, we will not expand the scope. I think when the Holy King comes back, the Holy King will do nothing." Bo Jinchen's words have put himself in a very dangerous situation. Even if this action is successful, with his own understanding of You Daofang, he will definitely not have good results in the future, but the situation in the Holy Kingdom is unbearable, so he cannot help but take such risks.
Xu Wenzhe and Lan Bailin were both a little moved. The other party had actually put his own situation out of it. His master's performance in recent times has also made the two confused. From a realistic political perspective, Bo Jinchen's policy is more suitable for the current situation. However, if it is contrary to the ideas and doctrines of the Holy Church propaganda at the time, it will arouse opposition from many fanatical supporters of the Holy Church. However, if this series of increasingly fierce movements continue, it will probably trigger a strong rebound among the middle and upper classes in the control area, and this trend has appeared now, especially when there are strong enemies around it, which is even more dangerous.
