Murong Fu finally insisted on attacking the Zheng family first, but everyone had no choice but to give up persuasion.
Of course, there were three main reasons why he attacked the Zheng family first. One was that he had promised Shi Lang to personally send troops to attack the Zheng family to avenge his shame. The other was that the forces developed by the Xiake Island coalition forces and Ah Jiuxin were both
In the Fujian area, these two forces are now rootless duckweeds and need a foundation, and Taiwan is just the right one.
The third reason is also the most important one. Taiwan Island, Shenlong Island, and the newly captured Xiangyang City are at an angle to each other, surrounding the huge Central Plains land in the middle. In the future, when a full-scale war begins, no matter which direction he comes from
The troops were dispatched at the right time and in the right place.
This is a big game, and although it is a little troublesome now, it is nothing compared to the benefits.
After that, Murong Fu arranged several things, including the issue of the fate of the Mingjiao Army and the Huxiang Army. Since the first battle in the Qinling Mountains in the northwest, the Mingjiao Army completely crippled Temujin's personal army. It can be said that he became famous in one battle. In Xiangyang City
The area caused quite a stir, but immediately after the war, Murong Fuxue hid him in the mountains, and the people gradually forgot about it.
Murong Fu had agreed with Assassin that when the war in Xiangyang City was over, the Mingjiao Army would serve for him for one year. Of course, this year could not be wasted, so he sent the Mingjiao Army to Hangu Pass as the basis for the Tianxuan Army to send troops to the Jin Kingdom.
The pioneer, Hangu Pass is still the territory of Dayuan. Let Mingjiao and Dayuan confront each other, and they are not afraid that they will not work hard.
In addition, the Huxiang Army was sent by Murong Fu to lurk in the Qing Dynasty. This army of less than 2,000 men was composed of elite disciples of various martial arts sects. It made brilliant achievements in the battle of Xiangyang, and Murong Fu did not
They generously increased rewards without hesitation. After the war, a small number of sect leaders also proposed to recall their disciples, but the general's office refused on the grounds that the war in Xiangyang was not over yet and they would have to wait and see for some time.
In fact, the hearts of those disciples have been bribed so much that even if they were summoned, they would not be able to recruit many of them. Of course, in order to appease these sects, Murong Fu may have given them a lot of benefits.
Finally, there is the problem of the original Xiangyang defenders and the Beggar Clan disciples. After such a long period of assimilation, most of the original Xiangyang defenders were cannibalized by the Tianshu Army, and those who were lost in this battle were almost all those who were not cannibalized.
The army, Murong Fu simply waved his hand and asked Deng Baichuan to formally recruit the original Xiangyang garrison.
As for the disciples of the Beggar Clan, although there were many in number, they were mixed, and they were accustomed to living a free and lazy life. Not only did Murong Fu look down on him, but Deng Baichuan also disliked them, so the two of them worked together to recruit some of them with potential.
If you have potential, you can do whatever you want.
After deciding on the Murong family's overall troop dispatch plan, Murong Fu changed the subject and returned to the issue of controlling Xiangyang City, "A'Zhu, if you want to completely control Xiangyang City, you must control the officials in the city. Ah Zi can help you with this."
, after I leave, all the five hundred disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion will stay at your disposal. In addition, I will ask Li Mochou to send a group of training talents to you. You only need to penetrate slowly."
The Murong family's underground palace can not only cultivate martial arts masters, but also talents with specialties in various fields. Some are good at business, some are proficient in classics and history, and some are good at business. Although it is difficult to produce any worldly talents, quantity is the best.
Many, as long as there is a suitable helmsman, it will not be a problem to run Xiangyang City into a piece of iron.
A hint of joy flashed across A'Zhu's face when he heard this, "That's great, I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."
"Brother, what should I do?" Murong Xue listened to Murong Fu's words for a long time and had nothing to do, so she couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.
Wang Yuyan immediately spoke up, "And my cousin, I... although I don't know anything about business and I don't know how to fight, but I... I..."
She seemed to want to say something about her strengths, but she paused when the words came to her lips. Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have no strengths except for being extremely talented in martial arts, and she was always lazy when practicing.
Murong Fu shook his head in amusement, "A'Zhu will be in charge of Xiangyang City from now on, so he will definitely have no time to attend to the Crystal Palace. Yan'er should go back to Yanziwu to assist Bao Buliang in taking charge of the Crystal Palace."
"Ah? I want to go back again." Wang Yuyan pouted in dissatisfaction, but finally nodded in agreement.
Murong Fu looked at Murong Xue, "Xue'er, you still go back and take charge of Yanziwu."
"I'm not going!" Murong Xue curled her lips and said angrily.
Murong Fu stroked his forehead and said, "Xue'er, be obedient. No matter what, Yanziwu is our first base camp. We must not allow any mistakes. If someone steals our home, all our previous efforts will be wasted."
"Stealing a house?" Murong Xue was stunned, and then Wang Yuyan suddenly laughed and said, "That's fine, I'll go back and you'll go back too, just to keep me company."
"Who wants to keep you company?" Murong Xue glared at her and looked at Murong Fu pleadingly, "Brother, Yanziwu is so boring, please don't let me go back, okay?"
Murong Fu's face was stern, "No, I had to take away most of Yanziwu's strength before, and almost had it stolen. I must not take such a risk again in the future. If you can get away with it once, you may not be able to do it the second time."
Seeing that he was serious, Murong Xue lost her temper and said, "Okay..."
After everything was decided, everyone went about their own business, but A'Zhu and Zhou Zhiruo stayed. A'Zhu was asked to stay by Murong Fu's signal, but Zhou Zhiruo did not want to do anything because she listened for a long time and said she had nothing to do.
She knew what Murong Fu asked her to do.
Murong Fu smiled and said, "Zhiruo, I asked you to come because I plan to continue to hand over the supporting army to the command of Yuan Ziyi. In addition, I want to hear your opinion on whether the Emei disciples in the army should stay or not."
The Huxiang Army is a very special army. Among them, the disciples of the three sects of Emei, Wudang and Quanzhen make up the majority. Forget about other sects, the disciples of the Emei sect wanted to ask Zhou Zhiruo what he meant.
Zhou Zhiruo pondered for a moment, "Husband, I can't help you with anything else. I'll leave all these Emei disciples to you. As long as they are willing to stay, I have no problem with it. But that girl in Ziyi is a bit difficult to deal with. I'm afraid I have to ask."
The meaning of Master Baimei."
Murong Fu waved his hand indifferently, "You don't have to worry about him, old man with white eyebrows, as long as you have no objection."
Zhou Zhiruo still felt a little guilty and sighed slightly, "I thought that as the head of Emei, I should be able to help you, but I didn't expect that I couldn't help you at all."
When she thought about it, if the Murong family made a move, hundreds of thousands of troops would sweep across the world. The role of the martial arts sects was becoming increasingly smaller. Even the Sun Moon God Sect and the Lingjiu Palace could only play a supporting role.
Of course Murong Fu also understood this. From the beginning, he never wanted to rely on martial arts sects to dominate the world, but the supporting role was indispensable. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Zhiruo, I got to know you and sent you a gift."
You went to Emei not because I wanted you to help me a lot, but because I wanted you to be safe, happy and carefree. Besides, in this battle of Xiangyang, Emei sent a lot of troops, so you have already helped me a lot."
The more he said this, the more ashamed Zhou Zhiruo felt. He gritted his teeth and said, "No, I must help you. If not, I will resign as the head of Emei and go to the Murong family. You can let me join the army.
I can assassinate you, and I will listen to you."
Murong Fu shook his head in a funny way, and just as he was about to appease her, a sudden thought came to his mind, "Zhiruo, if you really want to help me, you don't have to resign as the head of Emei."
"Oh?" Zhou Zhiruo looked happy, "What do you want me to do?"
Judging from her current appearance, it seems that she would sell the Emei Sect without any hesitation. If Master Taiquan had known about it, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Murong Fu pondered, "The Murong family wants to conquer the world, and the supply of food, grass and armaments is the biggest problem. I have saved a lot of food and grass over the years. I just need to ensure smooth operation. However, the armament build-up has always been unsatisfactory."
He didn't lie. Even though the Murong family secretly operated so many iron mines, in fact, after so many years, the inventory of armaments was not large. One of the reasons was that it was restricted by the weapons workshop. Although under his guidance, the Murong family's weapons workshop
The efficiency has been greatly improved, and the quality is good. However, due to the casting level of this era, the supply is always in short supply.
The Emei Sect is already good at casting, and Zhou Zhiruo has obtained the true casting tradition of the Emei Patriarch. If the Emei Sect can be turned into a weapons workshop...
Zhou Zhiruo also heard the elegant meaning of Xiange, and instantly understood what Murong Fu meant. After a slight hesitation, she nodded, "That's no problem. I will order the sword tomb to be reopened as soon as I get back."
"Sword Tomb?" Murong Fu was stunned.
Zhou Zhiruo explained, "The Emei Sect has a sword tomb, which was opened by the third-generation ancestor. It later became the burial place for the swords of all ancestors of Emei. In addition, there is a natural fire pool inside, which was built by the Emei predecessors."
It's a sword-making pool, but it hasn't been used for many years."
Murong Fu suddenly realized, "It turns out that your Emei sect still has this foundation. It is really extraordinary. It's because your master doesn't know how to run it. Otherwise, with this sword-making pool, why would the Emei sect not be rich in the world?"
"My master doesn't care about those things outside the body..." Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly thought of something, her face was suffocated, "But husband, the Emei Sect doesn't have much iron material, and the manpower is not enough. If you want
I'm afraid that weapons can be made in large quantities..."
Murong Fu laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will send a lot of manpower and material resources to you. You only need to be responsible for providing forging technology. You don't need to forge magical weapons, as long as they are better than ordinary weapons."
"
Zhou Zhiruo agreed wholeheartedly, "No problem, I'll pass the message back via flying pigeon and ask the disciples guarding the mountain to prepare."
As she said that, she stood up immediately, walked to the door and suddenly paused, "Husband, the Emei Sect has gathered a lot of food and grass over the years. I'll have them all sent to Xiangyang City."
Then Murong Fu left happily without waiting for him to speak.
Seeing this, Murong Fu couldn't help but a trace of teasing flashed across his face, "I wonder if the white-browed old man will come to fight with me when he learns that the Emei Sect has become the weapons workshop of my Murong family?"
A'Zhu covered his mouth and chuckled, "Thank you for thinking of turning such a large sect into a weapons workshop."
"This is about making the best use of people's talents and making the best use of things. We are all one family anyway, so why are we so polite? By the way, I'll leave this matter to you. Xiangyang City is not far from Mount Emei, so it's convenient."?
