"Perhaps Brother Renlong, you are not very clear yet. The current situation of the Mongolian tribes has changed greatly. The strength of the Inner Khalkha people has increased astonishingly. The Outer Khalkha tribes and the Horqin people are already under their control, and the Chahar people are already under their control.
There is disharmony among the people, Lindan Batur is strong on the outside and cadre on the inside, Zaisai intends to solve the Chahar people, intends to achieve the unification of the Mongolian left wing tribes, and then solve the Mongolian right wing, Xiao Feng Chief Assistant is very worried about this situation..."
There is no need to say more about the next words. He Renlong's eyes were bright, and he subconsciously pressed his hand on the tea table in the tea pavilion, almost knocking the tea table down. {What? You don't know yet|.Read.ＣＯＭ,

The rest of the people had been driven out long ago, leaving only He Renlong and Hou Chengzu, whose soldiers guarded the tea pavilion.
"This is a good thing. I have long thought that letting the Inner Khalkha people expand unchecked is not a good thing. Now is a good time to formally solve it. Didn't Chief Feng always say that on the grassland, we must hoe the strong and support the weak? In that case
, it’s time to use troops against Mongolia, why don’t we have to wait until it swallows Chahar?”
He Renlong was overjoyed. This was a great thing. As long as troops were used against Mongolia, there would be no way to disarm. The Denglai Army could just come in handy.
"Haha, you and I both think so, but the princes in the court don't think so. They think it's better to wait until the Inner Khalkha and Chahar people go to fight life and death. After the fight, there will be Tumut.
People, it’s best to wait until they fight to the point where both sides will be injured, and then it won’t be too late for us to step forward.”
Hou Chengzu spread his hands and looked helpless, "How wonderful the princes thought, everything will go according to their intentions, just like in the former Song Dynasty, when the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the former Song Dynasty also united with the Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom. What happened?
In the end, Jin Langzi became so ambitious that he wanted to eat Song's flesh..."
"The situation cannot be said to be exactly the same. The former Song Dynasty was too weak, and our Zhou Dynasty is not as good as the former Song Dynasty. But if the Inner Khalkha people are allowed to swallow up the Chahar people, it will definitely be a big mistake. Chahar
People are not small tribes. If we really let the Inner Khalkhas capture them, then there will be no one on the Mongolian grasslands that can control them. The Tumuts are simply incomparable, and they will kneel down if they don’t."
He Renlong also fought in Liaodong for several years and was no stranger to things on the grasslands of Eastern Mongolia.
He also knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty had been supporting the Inner Khalkha people in the past few years, but once the Jurchens in Jianzhou were destroyed, the identity of the Inner Khalkha people changed. They were no longer close allies, but became a vague role of both enemies and friends.
As their strength expanded, the Inner Khalkhas gradually evolved into a threat, and now this threat is still growing.
"If a unified Mongolia appears on the grassland, it will definitely be a disaster for our great Zhou Dynasty. Xiao Feng, the chief minister, is extremely intelligent and can only see this. But the other princes are a bunch of fools. How can they see so far?"
He Renlong did not hide his contempt and disdain for the princes in the court.
"But Xiao Feng, the first assistant, could not defeat four people. All the princes were firmly opposed and did not agree to use troops against Mongolia. They argued several times. Xiao Feng, the first assistant, was so angry that he fell ill..." Hou Chengzu also said with a bit of bitterness in his tone, "
Now that Chief Minister Feng is ill, the other three cabinet ministers are in charge. They are only thinking about disarmament. They even suspect that Chief Minister Feng wants to use this method to interfere with disarmament, so they are also working hard to promote disarmament..."
"Sun Chengzong didn't stop him either?" He Renlong's eyes had a hint of evil again.
He was originally a fierce and wild man, and during the war in the northwest, he was famous for his bravery and unruly spirit.
Before Feng Tang came to Yulin as the commander-in-chief, he often contradicted his superior officers. Therefore, although he made many meritorious service in battles, he was never promoted.
After Feng Tang took office as Yulin's commander-in-chief, he felt that he dared to risk his life and promoted him. Later, he led him to conquer the north and south, and later partnered with Cao Wenzhao. Cao Wenzhao also had a fierce and wild temperament.
However, he gradually restrained himself when he became a senior official, but he became very attached to He Renlong, and even handed over his nephew to He Renlong to take care of him.
"Haha, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and everyone thinks that he wants to speak for us warriors, who can listen to him?" Hou Chengzu said lightly, "Nowadays, anyone who has anything to do with warriors will not get a good look. Well, Xiong Tingbi actually agrees with those civil servants.
, Yuan Keli said a few words to help the warrior, and it is said that he was almost impeached by the imperial censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, saying that he had interests in dealings with the Songjiang merchants. Doesn't it mean that the Songjiang merchants had collusion with our Denglai Navy?...
"
The army was the focus of the civil servants' attack, and the navy did not gain favor. It was also the focus of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which believed that businessmen and the navy had always been colluding in their interests.
He Renlong couldn't help scratching his itchy neck, and was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes, "So we warriors have now become a thorn in the side of these civil servants, and they wish we were the only ones to die? I don't want to.
Who do you think is guarding their borders? Without us, they can sleep peacefully and drunkenly in the city?"
"They don't think so. They all think that we are just like poor beggars, and we should do all this." Hou Chengzu also felt that what he said was a bit out of line. The fierce light in He Renlong's eyes flashed in front of him, and his eyeballs turned around.
Stop, you are obviously thinking of something.
"Brother Renlong, please don't act recklessly. If we want to dismantle the army, it's not just to lay down Denglai Town, Shanxi, Datong, Liaodong, Jiangbei, and Yulin. Can these towns still be able to escape? Aren't people in a hurry?
Besides, there is Mr. Cao from Jingying."
Hou Chengzu's words did not calm He Renlong, but made He Renlong even more anxious, "Master Cao is in the capital camp. I'm afraid it may not be easy to do anything. It's too sensitive there..."
"Then there are also places like Jizhen and Xuanfu that are close together..." He Renlong reminded.
"Hmph, You Shigong is cunning and cunning, and He Shixian is waiting to die. Neither of them can hope for anything..." He Renlong shook his head, "If the disarmament knife is really cut down, the world will be in chaos. I want to see Xiao Feng, Chief Minister
He is also too cowardly. Is he so afraid of a bunch of literati who have never seen blood? He wants to raise his arms and call out. If the world doesn't want to follow the situation, even the emperor can do it? "
Hou Chengzu was taken aback, "Brother Renlong, you should be careful when saying this. There are rumors in both the government and the public today that the emperor of this family is a coward. There have been four emperors in the past ten or twenty years, and all of them are secretive."
Silently, this kind of emperor is not interested, the implication is that the cabinet has neglected the emperor,..."
"So what?" He Renlong said nonchalantly, "Emperor Yuanxi is still young and we don't know. But when Emperor Yonglong was around, it was okay, but it wasn't to suppress us warriors. This Emperor Wan Tong, hehe, just came to fill the hole.
, it’s not just whoever the cabinet wants to recommend. As for the current emperor, haha, that’s even more of a joke. Have you and I ever heard the emperor say a word? I can see it during the court meeting. It’s just a puppet, sit down.
I was wandering around there, and I had to ask Chief Minister Feng to remind me before I solemnly announced the end of the great dynasty meeting. Isn't this just a scene? What's the use of it? It's really better to replace Chief Minister Feng as the emperor. With him here, everything will be better
It’s better than being manipulated by these literati in the court!"
The more he said this, the more outrageous it became. Hou Chengzu still quite recognized it deep down in his heart, and this was not what they thought.
As soon as this disarmament plan came out, it immediately caused consternation in the entire border town and the Jingying camp, and even the provincial guards were greatly shocked.
Even the elite Ruos frontier army has to be cut in half. How much of the provincial guards can be retained? 30%, or 20%?
Why are the civil servants in the current court so hostile and fearful of the warriors? They really can't hide it at all. They are sharpening their swords to cut the warriors into pieces and there will be very few left.
As the admiral of the navy, Hou Chengzu often traveled between Jinzhou, Dagu and Denglai. In addition to having the closest relationship with He Renlong, there were Chen Jisheng who had been promoted to the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and Mao Wenlong who had been promoted to the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.
All have contacts.
In particular, Mao Wenlong's adopted son Mao Chenglu is now the deputy commander-in-chief of Ji Town, stationed on the front line of Shanhaiguan. The current deputy commander-in-chief Liu Xingzuo of Dongjiang Town is stationed in Jinzhou, and the staff general Liu Xingzhi is stationed in Zhenjiang Fort. Hou Chengzu often goes to these places, and the relationship between these two people is particularly close.
Close, no less than the relationship with He Renlong.
Hou Chengzu could hear the news from Liaodong and Dongjiang where Mao Chenglu and Liu Xingzuo were, which was actually Mao Wenlong's attitude.
Chen Ji, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang, was Mao Wenlong's confidant during his prime, and he was also the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang recommended by Mao Wenlong to succeed him. Liaodong and Dongjiang are now on the same side.
Mao Wenlong was extremely dissatisfied with the DPRK. He believed that the civil servants in the DPRK were just like rabbits and dogs, and they were not even willing to do anything. Now Liaodong Town and Dongjiang Town are being left out, and it is said that the main target of disarmament is Liaodong and Dongjiang Town.
The reduction ratio may be more than half. As soon as the news came out, the soldiers in Liaodong and Dongjiang Towns were all worried, and even ready to take action.
There are even rumors that if the imperial court wants to disarm, the towns of Liaodong and Dongjiang will send troops to North Korea on their own, occupy Pyongyang, and proclaim themselves king. Of course, this is definitely a lie, but it also shows that the towns of Liaodong and Dongjiang are dissatisfied with the attitude of the imperial court.
It has reached a point where it is like dry grass that burns instantly when exposed to fire.
In the towns of Liaodong and Dongjiang, there are more rumors that hope that Xiao Feng, the chief minister, can establish himself as emperor. They all think that it is better to kill all the civil servants in the court, so as not to have to deal with the military.
Hou Chengzu also asked Mao Chenglu about the attitude of Jizhen. His subordinates were extremely dissatisfied with He Shixian, but He Shixian ignored him and just sat back and watched the people below him running around and making noises. He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. In short, people in Jizhen were also popular.
Panicked, because of this, Hou Chengzu came immediately as soon as He Renlong made a move, in order to find out the intentions of Denglai Town.
"Brother Renlong, your tone is the same as that of the brothers in Liaodong and Dongjiang. Could it be that you heard something too?" Hou Chengzu smiled half-heartedly.
