Chapter 255 Hidden Rebel Family for Several Generations
"It seems that some people have a big idea."
Mo Zizai's face was a little solemn, besieging the county city and hiding his strength. Judging from this posture, the person hiding in the dark did not intend to make a small fuss, but wanted to make a big deal directly.
Yang Weishang and Wei Huang looked at each other, and their faces were also a little solemn.
After coming over for a while, Yang Weishang asked Xiang Weihuang, and said, "Commander Wei, according to the current situation, if you were asked to lead troops to suppress the Nanjun Rebel Party, how many troops would you bring?"
Wei Huang instantly understood what Yang Weishang meant. He thought for a moment, and then said, "If I don't know that they have hidden strength, I will lead up to five thousand soldiers."
"Even if I know now, I can bring no more than 10,000 troops. After all, the capital is much more important than Nanjun."
"If you want to say this, their hidden strength will definitely be sure to eat ten thousand of your Yulin Army."
Yang Weishang's face was very serious, "The army in the East is confronting the Three Kingdoms, and most of the northern borders are the power of the King of Bei'an. If ten thousand Yulin troops are lost, the court will have no deterrent power."
As the Minister of Personnel, Yang Weishang had a very accurate grasp of people's hearts. After knowing that the enemy wanted to surround and attack aid, he instantly guessed the enemy's purpose. The greatest deterrent force of the court now is the 30,000 Yulin Army in his hand.
If the 30,000 Yulin Army had some mistakes and lost its deterrence power, the court would lose control of various places in an instant. By then, it would be hard to say whether the court's government orders could leave the capital.
"I also agree with Mr. Yang's speculation, but I can't figure it out."
Wei Huang looked puzzled and said, "My Yulin Army is full of veteran soldiers, and each of them is an elite soldier. If you want to eat my Yulin Army, you will need at least 20,000 troops of the same size."
"And your... The late emperor has been weakening the forces in various places over the years. The aristocratic families do not allow private soldiers at all. Even the forces of counties are strictly restricted. Logically speaking, they should not have much force in their hands, let alone have the forces that can directly take up ten thousand Yulin Army."
When Mo Congyi was in power, he came up with some tricks in order to make it easier to destroy the aristocratic family in the future.
First, the troops of the county were abolished on a large scale, and then they turned a blind eye to the corruption of the troops of each county and even deliberately indulged them. This led to the faction soldiers who were already strong in the Great Zhou Dynasty who were in good shape and were directly corrupted.
It is common to have something to eat empty wages. A county town has recorded that there are five thousand soldiers. If you really check it, it is considered that there are two thousand people who are considered to be conscientious in the local garrison.
However, this behavior is limited to the county soldiers in various counties and counties. Mo Congyi's three trump cards, the eastern border army, the northern border army, and the Yulin army in the capital. Whoever dares to do this, Mo Congyi directly kills the whole family.
Mo Congyi did this to minimize the strength of various places. After all, the counties and aristocratic families are too deeply involved. Half of the commanders in the county soldiers may be from local aristocratic families. If Mo Congyi turned around and tried to deal with those aristocratic families, the two sides fought, and there was no need to say who would help those county soldiers.
Therefore, Mo Chengyi’s idea is to start from all aspects and minimize the power of the aristocratic families. When you have accumulated enough power, you can just take them away in one wave.
But he didn't expect that he would collapse in the middle way, which led to the situation becoming so bad.
"They don't need twenty thousand elites."
Mo Zizai thought of the Yuzhi Army at the first time. This army consisting of all warriors can be formed by himself, and others can naturally form it. So he said, "If they have an army similar to the Fengwei Army in their hands, they don't need to deal with the 10,000 Yulin Army, but five thousand people are enough."
"In this way, the target is small and it is not easy to attract attention, and the combat effectiveness is not weak."
"How is this possible? The Fengwei Army cannot be built casually. Such an army requires too many resources."
Wei Huang subconsciously shook his head. It is easy to get started with physical cultivation, but if you want to achieve results, you consume too many resources.
Meat, medicinal baths, and various treasures of nature and earth, these resources require massive investment.
In order to build the Fengwei Army, the old emperor saved up his wealth for most of his life and basically invested in it. How could those aristocratic families have such a big deal?
"Don't underestimate those aristocratic families."
Mo Zizai's face was a little solemn, "I think the man who planned to plot against Uncle Tang back then had planned for at least ten years, or even decades. With the background of the aristocratic family, it is not difficult to spend all his time building a Fengwei Army for so many years."
"This...isn't this a bit too exaggerated, right?"
Wei Huang was a little hesitant and spent more than ten years or even decades to build an army. How courage would it take?
You know, raising an army is a bottomless pit, and the army of pure warriors is even more a gold-swalking beast.
The most important thing is that the army that has spent so much money to build cannot bring any profit. If it is accidentally exposed in advance, not only will these investments be wasted, but even the families hidden in the dark will be uprooted. Who would do such a stupid thing?
"I don't think it's exaggeration."
Mo Zizai thought more about it. He tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly: "Since that man can spend more than ten years to plot against Uncle Tang, he naturally doesn't mind spending decades to support an army."
"I don't even think it's decades. After all, thousands of physical cultivation must require a lot of resources. If they dare to buy on a large scale, they will inevitably be noticed by my father."
Mo Zizai paused for a moment, then said firmly: "So, I think if there was such an army, it would be the result of their efforts for generations!"
After hearing Mo Zizai say this, Yang Yanzhang said in shock: "Prince, do you mean that there is a family that has thought of rebelling several generations ago?"
"I think what the prince said is very likely."
After listening to Mo Zizai's analysis, Yang Weishang nodded, but he thought for a long time, but he didn't expect that any aristocratic family was more suspicious.
A family that has been rebelling several generations ago can still hide so deeply, which makes Yang Weishang shudder.
In Yang Weishang's view, this family is like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark. It may reveal its fangs and bite you at any time, releasing venom that is enough to kill you.
"Prince, this aristocratic family hidden in the dark is too dangerous. We must pull them out!"
"fine."
Compared to Yang Weishang's nervousness, Mo Zizai didn't care too much, "If they were hiding in the dark, I might have a little headache."
"Now, since they have jumped out, wash your neck and wait for death."
