Chapter 1719 Decisive Battle

"Then the current domestic situation is extremely dangerous, isn't it?"

Wu Qingcang could even imagine that once those people found out that all their life savings had disappeared, the angry people would immediately trigger a civil uprising.

A civil uprising is not a mutiny.

The former is a thousand times more terrifying than the latter.

Once a civil uprising occurs, the world will be in chaos, the credibility and deterrence of the imperial court will collapse, and local warlords will begin to separatist rule. At that time, everyone will rise up and everyone will stand on their own. If it goes wrong, the world will fall apart like the later Han Dynasty and even the Warring States Period.

Tragedy.

Wu Qingcang was worried about civil unrest, but what Li Chen was really worried about was an uprising.

Uprising, that is the name given by later generations. To those in power, they are all rebels and traitors.

Although there has been no true successful example of a peasant uprising in the entire history of China, it is undeniable that any major change in dynasties and the complete collapse of the old dynasty all started with uprisings.

Therefore, signs of uprising must be nipped in the cradle and never allowed to happen.

It's just these words that I can't say to Wu Qingcang.

Not just Wu Qingcang, no one can reveal even a word.

What Li Chen has to do, what he can do, is to suppress all rebel forces with iron and blood tactics.

"It is extremely dangerous, but it is not hopeless."

Li Chen said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about the matters in the rear. I will handle it. You only need to win this battle. This is the foundation of the whole situation. If you win this battle, then the matters in the rear will wait for me."

When we go back, everything will be settled, and those clowns won't be able to dance for a few days, but if we lose here, I will really be completely defeated."

Li Chen looked at Wu Qingcang seriously and said: "In other words, the future of this palace, even the imperial court, the entire Jiangshan State and the Li family, all depend on Wu Shuai."

Wu Qingcang suddenly felt a mountain of pressure.

He stood up and said solemnly: "Your Highness, please rest assured. The general and the entire army are willing to die for Your Highness."

"Just this sentence is enough."

Li Chen nodded and said: "Prince Ning will send a similar official letter to one, and send them all away when others come. Tell them that they can find a way to solve the problem of food and grass by themselves, or ask the court to solve it, and recover the tax revenue from the fiefdom."

They have the right to collect money and put it in their pockets. When they need money, they reach out to the court and ask for it. Where in the world can such a good thing come from?"

"If Prince Ning comes in person, let him come to see me."

"The general will obey his orders."

With Li Chen's endorsement, Wu Qingcang felt much more relaxed.

Although he knows that Li Chen will most likely make this decision, he must ask if he needs to ask. This is not unnecessary, but respect for authority. If he makes the decision without authorization, he will be suspected of exceeding his authority.

"Just like this, it cannot solve the problem from the root."

Wu Qingcang said hesitantly: "The shortage of materials is now a certainty. If there is no magical way to conjure food and materials out of thin air, there is only one way to solve it."

"Shorten the time and launch a decisive battle as soon as possible."

Li Chen took a deep breath and said: "This matter...Does Wu Shuai have a plan?"

"have."

Wu Qingcang said seriously: "Eighty miles south from here, Wolong Mountain is the place chosen by the general for the decisive battle."
