Section 96 The Great Debate
"Xikang Prefecture is located on the northwest edge of Guanxi County. It has a weak economy, a flat terrain, and a small city, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. At this time, the Taiping Army gave up here, which was also considered by these issues. Abandoning Xikang can not only shrink its strength, but also lead to the fight between two tigers. At present, the Bashan in the south is already in the hands of the Lang family. Their intelligence system will also get this information, and they will also hold the idea of going north to swallow Xikang, so that they can not only occupy a good production area. The territory of the horse is a great temptation for them who are extremely lacking in horses. Once they control Xikang, not only can the power extend northward along the Hengduan Mountains, but they can also take care of each other with Bashan, forming a semi-arc surround in Hanzhong. In this way, whether it is bargaining with the Empire or the Taiping Teachings, they have more sufficient capital. If we also want to take this place, it is very likely that our Yelang family will have conflicts."
"After the annexation of Myanmar land, the power of the Lang family has increased significantly. Their ambitions have been nourished by the fertile and rich Myanmar land. I am afraid that their expectations for themselves will be much higher. Now that they have controlled Bashan, they will definitely not give up Xikang. For us, half-fat or thin is just a useless thing, but for them, it is a top-notch fat thing. Once we have a conflict with the Lang family, we will only be cheap. The Lin family and the Taiping Army, the subordinates think it is really not worth it." In full view of everyone, Jin Zecheng seemed calm, with a slightly white face and his expression remained motionless. He analyzed his views in an orderly manner, and could see that he had quite confident in his views.
Xikang produced horses? Wufeng's heart moved slightly. Before he could ask questions, someone below questioned Jin Zecheng's view: "Brother Jin. Your view is worth discussing. Although the Tiannan Lang family annexed Myanmar land, the Myanmar land has rich resources and vast territory. However, the population is sparse and the productivity is extremely low. Now Tiannan has begun to set off a climax of developing Myanmar land. You said that the annexation of Myanmar land will significantly improve the strength of Tiannan. In addition, Tiannan now has two legions, apart from the county, Myanmar land and Bashan, how much power can they use to attack Xikang? If they want to compete with our northwest, it would be a bit overestimated, right?"
The question was that Long Zixing, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Northwest Legion, was the one who led the Fifth Division into Yinchuan when the revival of Yinchuan. It was his strong recommendation that Jin Zecheng was exempted from arrest and became a senior general in the Northwest. Although the two had not been in contact for a long time, after this incident, the relationship was already quite close. Although Long Zixing's words were tactful, his attitude was very clear, and he obviously did not agree with the other party's views.
Seeing that it was his close friend who refuted him, Jin Zecheng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Long's words make sense, but Brother Long seems to have ignored the current situation and situation of the Lang family, which is not much the same as the situation a few years ago. The Second Legion of the Lang family has been established for two years. He has experienced wars from north to south. Although these wars are the First Legion as the main force, according to Zecheng, Lang Yongquan intends to train the combat effectiveness of the Second Legion, and almost every war, he tries to let the Second Legion participate in the war in the organization of the First Legion. It seems that the First Second Division of their Second Legion are two divisions of the original First Legion. Lang Yongquan intends to let them exchange numbers to balance the combat effectiveness of the two legions. From this point of view, Lang Yongquan has spent some effort to strengthen the combat effectiveness of his army."
"Secondly, the Lin family in the east was the Lin family in the east, but now the situation has changed. As soon as the Lin family entered Lujiang, they had to station heavy troops in Lujiang due to the direct pressure from the Empire and Taiping Cult, and Kanten in North Ronesia had been captured by the Maqi Khans, which directly threatened the control of the Lin family in North Ronesia. The Lin family had to station heavy troops in North Ronesia. In this way, the troops stationed in Sanjiang County were now completely against the Lang family.
It is no threat. The Lang family can be said to be at its best time in history. To the south of Myanmar, some small city-states near the southern passage. The Lang family did not have the idea of making a move. They had to secretly worship God and ask Buddha for thanks. To the west is the natural barrier of the Great Hengduan Mountains, and to the north is the Xikang Prefecture. Now, what can greatly improve the combat power of the Lang family is to replenish a large number of horses. Xikang Chacha is one of the top domestic and mainland China in the empire. Do you think they can take a risk?”
Speaking of this, Jin Zecheng smiled and added: "Although we don't know the combat effectiveness of the Lang family, we may not be too weak since we can compete with the Lin family, which has always been a major troublemaker in the empire for 10 or 20 years, right? Besides, with the victory of Myanmar and Bashan, Zecheng thought that it would probably increase their self-confidence. Maybe they think they have the ability to fight with us, or they think they have a tough attitude, so we won't be willing to break up with them for Xikang?"
