Chapter 978: Establishing a government army
A person's personality and ability do whatever he has. It is actually a bit unreasonable and very different from the character he has shown in the past.
However, many people looked at the smiling, lacking momentum, and still very kind Prince Yanping, and did not think that he was disguised in the past. When acting, he was still the one he was familiar to everyone.
Therefore, I don’t understand where this person got the courage to form a government army.
Could it be that this prince who has been eating, drinking and having fun for more than ten years is tired and wants to play with higher-level things?
Beauty, food, and all kinds of strange and lewd skills can no longer satisfy his desires, so he aims at power?
But can military power be touched at will?
Because Meng Zhao's knowledge has increased greatly and his presence in the Dayong aristocratic system, he heard a lot of inside information from Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao, so he has his own set of insights.
I'm afraid that the prince did not intend to fight against the forces in the city, but someone was forcing him to do so, and he had to do it.
In the world, there are actually not many people who can force a prince to do what he doesn't want to do. There is a high probability that the emperor Beitang, who is in charge of the mountains and rivers, will be in charge of the mountains and rivers.
This also explains how Beitang Ang had the courage to form a government army. To rule out the possibility of rebellion, it was only because the court had an order, and he was just an executor.
At this time, the helmsman of the Ding family, who was in the first echelon, suddenly stood up and clasped his fists towards Beitangang,
"Prince, this matter is of great importance, and I am sorry that I cannot easily agree. For more than a hundred years, the court has never formed an army in our Lingwu City. The reason is Taizu's order. Is it impossible to fulfill the promise made by Taizu to this day?"
Although his voice was not loud, he used true qi skills to make everyone in the hall hear clearly, as if someone was telling it in his ears.
The attitude is not mixed with others. He directly brought out the Taizu of Dayong to fight with Beitangang. Do you do this to be worthy of your ancestors?
Meng Zhao even knew even more that as a major force that was used to controlling the resources and power in the city, he could not tolerate his own power being weakened or even taken back.
Just like people are used to being rich and well-dressed, good food, wine and delicacies, will they endure hunger and cold and not eating enough? It is impossible.
This is also the reason why emperors of all dynasties have to take back their authority, and even have to have the last bloody war from time to time.
To put it bluntly, the simpler the competition for interests, the more cruel it is. Either you have more or I have less, or you die or I have died. There are fundamental contradictions.
Now, Beitang Ang wants to form a government army, and his troops must be drawn from all large and small forces. Wouldn't he intend to weaken them and strengthen the city?
The Ding family helmsman was only the first to refute. With the first one, there was the second one. The head of the Xun family followed closely. This was an old man who was already quite old. Although he did not have the tough and fierce style of the Ding family helmsman, he had the wisdom of hiding a needle in a cotton field and making a big move. He quietly raised his own objection.
He did not directly refuse to form a military force, but instead used a sincere tone to persuade the prince to be the most urgent task, to rescue the people suffering during the snow disaster, and to pay attention to the reconstruction of Lingwu City after the disaster, and to restore various transportation, especially the waterway.
This will not directly harm the prince, but will also leave enough time to deal with it.
They can investigate in more detail what happened, whether it was Beitang'an's personal opinion, or was he inspired and lured, or the court ordered it, which was the general trend.
Different answers, they will take different responses.
As one of the three upper families, the Zhuo family also stood on the front of the Ding family and Xun family and directly denied the establishment of the government army proposed by Beitang Ang, which had no meaning at all.
There has been no such thing as a government army in the past century. Now it is suddenly proposed that not only can they not stand it, but how can the people in the city bear it?
An army needs to build various military ordnances, full-time soldiers, daily survival and martial arts consumption, and massive resources to fill them. Who will bear these things?
If the central government does not allocate military funds, will it eventually fall on the people all over the city?
Life is already difficult after the snow disaster. If the city of the palace is to exploit these people and form the government army, aren’t you afraid of any riots?
Can the City Lord's Mansion give a perfect answer?
The head of the Zhuo family has been agreed with most people.
To form an elite mansion army, you can’t build it with just a word and say it. There are countless tricks inside. The key is to have money.
Only with money can one have an army, and only with support can one support the strategy of strengthening the army proposed by Beitang Ang.
Most people oppose it, and of course a small number of people agree, shaking the flag and shouting for Beitang Ang, so that they will not be completely rejected.
For example, Meng Zhao's old acquaintance, the leader of the second-rate Bishui Sect, Shui Xianrou, who met on the shore of Mingxiu Lake, and a beautiful woman with a full body and outstanding appearance, was the first to clearly agree with the prince's proposal.
In terms of influence, she is definitely far from being the helmsman of those powerful forces, but her significance lies in that someone has given another choice for your reference.
In the past, no one dared to break this rule, but now that the rules have been broken, everyone may not necessarily have to abide by them.
Meng Zhao also secretly sighed that this woman is so tough and has a kind of heroic spirit.
And I also understood something vaguely.
Meng Zhao said at the beginning, how can a woman be able to build such a big foundation in the city alone? She must have a backer behind her, so she will not be swallowed by those big zombies.
Now, when you look at it, the backer is probably the Prince of Yanping, and there is no doubt that there is some special relationship between the two.
It's really too imaginative.
Beitang Ang is a good at eating, drinking and having fun. He is not weak in playing with women, and he is full of romantic affairs on the streets.
Having a congenital female strong man as a lover is in line with his position as a prince.
Perhaps this prince himself does not have any strong personal charm, but the four words of royal blood are enough to smooth things out.
In terms of bloodline, Shui Xianrou, a congenital warrior, was not even qualified to be a concubine for the prince. She was already arguing that she could be a lover.
If Beitang Ang had no such thing as Beitang, how could she support the great business of Bishui Sect with her only?
In addition to Shui Xianrou, Wei Gang, the fragrance master of Lingxu Sect in Lingwu City, is the highest-ranking person among those who agree to form the government army.
