Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 213: Crisis and opportunity

"His Royal Highness, there is urgent news from the north station!" Suddenly a guard reported.

   "Say." Ning Wanjun nodded.

   "The detectives discovered that the Shenzhou Army had left the garrison this morning and marched towards the west in a team!"

   The news caused a tumult in the crowd.

   "They are going to support the Western Territory!" He Guicai slapped the fan in his hand. "Is Leizhou unable to hold the local frontier army alone?"

   Princess couldn't help biting her lip.

   Xia Fan noticed this detail, "What's going on?" According to reason, Qi Guo's occurrence of this situation is definitely good news for Ning Wanjun's goal. The weaker the dynasty, the smaller the threat to Shenzhou, but the other side's expression seemed quite anxious.

"I...a partner who is also a teacher and friend, just served in the Leizhou Frontier Army." Ning Wanjun hesitated and said, "With him sitting in the west, Gao Guo should not be able to enter the Leizhou hinterland. I am. I had already made an appointment with him, if Jinxia had an incident, he would also respond in Leizhou, but now..."

   "Your Highness——"

   As soon as Xia Fan opened her mouth, she was interrupted. "I know, I know all. I am worried that there will be no changes to what has already happened. If the Bian Jun is still there, he will tell me the news. If the Bian Jun has been defeated, he should be able to rely on it. My ability survives. I have to focus on what is in front of me."

   Ning Wanjun said while regaining her spirit, "Counselor He, what do you think of the situation in the west?"

"The frontier army is in danger!" Since most of the princess's team comes from the frontier army, her expression is more serious, and He Guicai said bluntly, "The emergence of refugees means that Leizhou has lost counties and cities. The high country army can threaten. To these places, you must have crossed Pozigou to the brownstone beach area. There should have been the home ground of the frontier army. In the past ten years, Gao Guo has not been able to break through this line of defense. Now that the line of defense has fallen, the court has also mobilized Shen With the support of the state army, there must be a big problem with General Ba...!"

   "What about the others? Do they hold the same view?" Ning Wanjun looked around.

   No one expressed objection.

"If this is the case, then let me talk about how Jinxia should take advantage of this situation." The princess stood up and said, "First of all, let me put the words first. We can't support the frontier army, whether it is the army or the logistics. We do not support our involvement in the war in Leizhou."

   Xia Fan couldn't help but glance at each other.

   She was obviously worried about the partner's situation before, but when it came to business, she had completely suppressed her unnecessary emotions. Ning Wanjun is undoubtedly competent in the position of chief of the first army.

   "The humble post thinks so too." Xu San focused his head. "The humble post suggests sending a team of scouts to Leizhou to inquire about the situation. By the way, you can also get more information from the refugees."

   "Yes." The princess responded briefly.

"As for Jinxia City...our army may be able to take advantage of the Shenzhou Army's departure to take the next two territories." Xu Guerji continued, "I guess the big city will not work? But the county or township should be fine. Now Leizhou is in chaos? The court will certainly not take us into consideration, as long as the news is blocked?  No traffic?  It is not difficult to hide it for half a year."

   "No." Xia Fan couldn't help but blurt out.

   "Master Xia, why?" Xu Guerilla asked, arching his hands.

   "That's not governance?   It's occupation. The blockade will spread panic among the people, and it also requires a lot of manpower to be permanent. If the locals don't cooperate?  Or there is resistance?  There is not much we can get in half a year."

   The other party’s set is probably often used at the border, Xia Fan said in his heart that it can search for materials to the maximum extent in scattered settlements, but putting it in Shenzhou will do more harm than good.

"I agree with Xia Fucheng's point of view." Staff Officer He opened his mouth to help?   "Honestly?   Since repelling the Dongsheng Kingdom attack, what the army wants to do is not difficult. Some things that require the cooperation of the people can be done by just saying hello. , The remuneration can be given later. This is the first time I have encountered this situation. Now I really believe that Xia Fucheng's "New Jinxia" is not a lie?  If possible, I think we are elsewhere in Shenzhou It should be treated the same way."

"How can there be such a good thing." Xu Sanzhong frowned?   "If it wasn't for the pirate incident that created a vacuum in the power of the government, it would be hard to say whether this Bureau of General Affairs could be established. I naturally know that fighting for the people's support is a good thing?  Yes How could those local officials watch us decentralize power?"

   "This...Shall we focus on Jinxia City itself?"

   "Then let go of this rare opportunity?" He bowed his hand to the princess, "I am unwilling to be humble."

   "General Xu?  How long will the Shenzhou Army come back after this trip?" Xia Fan asked him.

"The army will not move lightly?   It will take three or four months to go and say." Xu Sanzhong has obviously thought about this problem?   "When December arrives, it may snow at any time in the west. If it is not an emergency, Shenzhou Army I would not choose to march for a long distance at this time. It is the safest choice to rely on the big city for supplies and wait until the weather turns warmer before setting off back to Shenzhou. Of course, these are all based on the smooth situation of the war. If the high country is more difficult... …"

   That means that Shenzhou will usher in a fairly long gap.

   It is no wonder that he is unwilling to wait in Jinxiakong.

   Xia Fan pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to the princess, "Maybe you can change your mind and complete the expansion without relying on the army."

   "How is it possible?" Ning Wanjun asked in confusion, "Those local officials will not listen to my orders."

"My idea is...Let the Privy Council take the lead." Xia Fan organized a speech, "A non-state capital will not set up a Privy Council, so these places only have contact points, or there is nothing at all~www.NovelMTL.com ~ If the Jinxia City Privy Council wants to expand its influence, opening branches to other towns and even counties will not violate any prohibition."

   The reason for only setting up a Privy Council in the capital of the state is very simple. One is that it costs money, and the other is that there is not so much inquiries, and the trial is available for dispatch. In addition, the vassal does not interfere with local government affairs, so there is no need to share it.

   But Shang Yuancheng never said that this is not allowed.

"--But what you want to set up is not the Privy Council branch, but the General Affairs Bureau?" He Guicai's eyes lit up, and the swinging fan in his hand stopped. "If you use the name of preventing evil, whether it is registration or publicity It is also aid, which can quickly increase Jinxia's influence."

"This is indeed the main idea." Xia Fan agreed. "Winter is a difficult season for ordinary people. I believe there is no shortage of good opportunities to increase reputation. The army is not unnecessary, because the Privy Council does not have enough. The alchemists are located everywhere, so whether it is dealing with small evils or deterring local snakeheads, an armed force is needed to deal with it."

"In addition, I don't plan to release only the civil affairs department. The Privy Council should still perform its own duties-to eliminate evil, or the source of evil." At this point, his voice grew deeper, "I don't know how many officials dare to say that he They are clean and upright and have never violated the Daqi Law? If they were just imprisoned and reported to Gyeonggi for disposal, it would be considered reasonable and fulfilling their duties, right?"

   Even if the above does not agree with Jinxiacheng's approach, it is difficult to continue to restore the stained officials. Once the staff is re-appointed, the gap during this period will be enough for the bureau to take over the authority of the government.
