Chapter 58 As long as the money is in place, they can beat whoever they ask!

Being rebuffed by Liu Bowen like this, Yu Lianzhou couldn't help but blush.

"Well, I'm just making a suggestion. I didn't know our current situation would be so serious!"

As he said that, he looked at Song Xuan and said apologetically: "Qingshu, it's my uncle's fault. When I heard that Wuji was in trouble, I lost my sense of proportion and almost missed a major event on your side!"

Song Xuan said indifferently: "This is just a discussion. Everyone can express whatever they think. Second uncle does not need to blame himself."

Although he said this, he still gave Liu Bowen and Li Shan a vague look of satisfaction.

These two men are still very powerful at critical moments. There are some words that are inconvenient for him to say, but from the mouths of these two gentlemen, the effect is definitely just right.

Sure enough, when everyone in Wudang, except Song Yuanqiao, heard that Zhang Wuji was going to fight with the main force of the Yuan army, everyone looked nervous and wanted to go immediately to support.

But after Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen explained the current situation, Zhang Wuji's matter was immediately forgotten by them.

No matter how difficult it is for Zhang Wuji, he still has at least hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, and he only has to face one enemy, the Yuan Army.

However, it was completely different that they were in Hangzhou at the moment. They had not noticed it before, but now after careful calculation, Mader, himself and others were surrounded by rebels from all walks of life!

Zhang Wuji can still lead his troops to retreat if they can't fight there, but here, they don't even have a way to retreat!

After such a comparison, everyone in Wudang understood that their current situation was much more dangerous than Zhang Wuji's.

Just like that, Yu Lianzhou actually sent troops to rescue others. Liu Bowen didn't point his nose in his nose and scold him for cheating, which was enough to save him face.

This is why Yu Lianzhou blushed and apologized to Song Xuan immediately.

The atmosphere that was originally relatively relaxed became a bit solemn at this moment.

Before, everyone thought that Jiangsu and Zhejiang were being encroached on step by step in the name of suppressing bandits. They controlled half of the territory and were already developing very fast.

But now after Liu Bowen said this, many people discovered that there are countless heroes and capable people in this world. They are busy developing, and others are not idle at all!

Song Xuan spoke at this time and said: "Mr. Liu, according to your opinion, what should we do next?"

Liu Bowen pondered for a moment and said: "First of all, there is no need to send out small-scale troops to encroach little by little. Lord, it is time for a large army to attack and completely capture Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces!

Especially the ancient city of Jinling, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a place where dragon energy flourishes. If it can be captured, it can be used as the foundation of the capital, and the emperor's career can flourish!"

The words "The emperor's career can be prosperous" immediately excited everyone.

When troubled times begin, who doesn’t want to be a minister who obeys the dragon, becomes a prince, becomes a prime minister, and leaves his name in history?

Song Xuan nodded and said: "Mr. Li once said before, build walls high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king. Now, do you want to continue to follow this strategy? Or, do you want to directly raise a banner and declare yourself king?"

Liu Bowen glanced at Li Shanchang, but saw that the other party was also looking directly at him.

He smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with Mr. Li's strategy. My lord can just continue. At this stage, it is not time to become king!"

Now that the main force of the Yuan army has been held back by the Ming army, in the next few months, we can still send troops in the name of suppressing bandits, but there is no need to be as cautious as before, for fear of attracting the main force of the Yuan army."

Song Xuan nodded. Seeing that the others had no objections, he stopped talking nonsense and directly issued an order to send out troops in three days.

In fact, most of the unsubordinated cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces also have internal agents in the cities, so it is not difficult to capture them.

"Lord, there is one thing you need to pay attention to!"

Li Shanchang, who felt that his position as the number one civil servant was a bit unstable, suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Mr. Li, it's okay to say so!" Song Xuan said with a faint smile.

"An army of 200,000 people attacked. The movement was too big and it will never be hidden from Yuan Ting's attention. The main force of Yuan Ting can't get away now, but what if they defeat Zhang Wuji's Ming army?

At that time, we, who controlled Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, were likely to be the next target of the main force of the Yuan army!"

"Well, this is a problem." Song Xuan nodded, "Does Mr. Li have any good ideas?"

Li Shanchang said: "This matter will have to be troubled by the Hu family!"

Hu Qian has not spoken much since the beginning of the meeting.

He is a businessman and an opportunist, and he is not lacking in scheming and courage, but governing the country and the people is really not what he is good at.

At this moment, when he heard Li Shanchang talking about himself, Hu Qian was shocked. Could this man named Li want to sacrifice his own head?

"The head of the Hu family, as a big family in Hangzhou, has been operating in the south of the Yangtze River for many years and has remained standing. There should be someone who can speak for the Hu family in the center of Yuanting, right?"

Hearing this, Hu Qian's expression froze and he looked a little unnatural, "What do you mean by Mr. Li's words?"

Li Shanchang smiled and said: "Master Hu, don't be nervous, Li has no other intentions."

After saying that, Li Shanchang looked at Song Xuan and said respectfully: "My lord, the military strength of the Yuan Dynasty is not weak, but the imperial court is very corrupt.

What we lack most now is time. Some things can be solved with money, which is actually the best thing!

For example, the Lord can ask the head of the Hu family to contact the important officials of the Yuan Dynasty to tell them what money should be spent and what gifts should be given. In short, let them speak for us in the court.

Although we occupy the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we have not proclaimed ourselves the king. Secondly, we have no choice but to protect ourselves because of the rising bandits in the surrounding areas.

In short, we must convince Emperor Yuan Ting that we are still the subjects of the Yuan Dynasty and that we sent troops to occupy Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces just to protect ourselves, which is completely different from those rebels!"

As if he was afraid that others would say that he was spineless, Li Shanchang hurriedly said: "Strengthening the army and fighting for the world is never just a contest of military strength. For Yuan Ting, there are so many rebels in the world, which one are they fighting?

As long as you don't come to attack us first, wait until next year, when the grain, tax and other money from the two provinces are put into the warehouse, then you can raise a million troops and sweep the world unstoppably!"

Song Xuan looked at Li Shanchang, who looked a little nervous, and comforted him: "Mr. Li, there is no need to be nervous. I am not a pedantic person."

When Li Shanchang's expression improved, he looked at Hu Qian again and said, "Mr. Hu, this matter shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Hu Qian accepted the order with a smile and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will live up to my lord's trust in this matter!"

If he talked about other things, he really didn't dare to vouch for it.

But he is good at spending money to build relationships and win over the important officials of the court who have corrupted the Tatars!

That’s really good!

Li Shanchang is right when he says that there are so many rebels in the world, who can the Yuan army attack?

The soldiers and horses of the Yuan Dynasty were powerful, but weren't they still the ministers in the court who controlled the soldiers and horses?

As long as the money is in place, they can beat whoever they ask!
