Throughout the ages, strategists have emerged in endlessly, but strategists have been few and far between.
Especially a world-class strategist who is unique.
Even the resourceful Xiao Long remains at the level of a strategist.
And Zhang Yi is a strategist.
Before him, there were no examples to learn from because no one had successful experience in unifying the world.
Genghis Khan and his golden family conquered Eurasia with the help of more than 100,000 top-notch grassland horsemen and archers. It was the peak of the cold weapon age, but the empire they built by relying on killing was short-lived.
The world won by martial arts is unstable, and good governance skills are needed.
You cannot rely solely on martial arts, nor can you rely solely on faith. Even if the two are added together, you will not achieve your goal.
Zhang Yi knows very well that if we want to realize world civilization, we must have an open mind and accommodate various beliefs and cultures. We must have a pattern of prosperity for all people, and we must not favor one over another. We must have strong force, and we must not sit back and talk about doctrines.
He is a leader, but if his starting point is wrong, in the end he will only be a hero for one life, far from being a sage king for all generations.
Therefore, Zhang Yi’s strategy cannot be understood at once.
If everyone can understand and think of it, what should Zhang Yi do?
According to normal people's thinking, at best, he is just an overlord rising in the wasteland world, not the founder of a new civilization.
Xiao Liu finally understood Zhang Yi.
Xiaolong and Xiao Han, Zhang Yi's right-hand men, could of course guess Zhang Yi's intentions, and they eventually understood it.
Fierce generals such as Niu Ben, Shi Gandang, Wang Zheng, Aser and Chen Yiyi could not think of too many things, but they almost worshiped Zhang Yi and were firm executors.
As for the civil and military officials and countless soldiers, they often only believe what they see with their eyes. The fact is that Zhang Yi can lead them to victory and create a prosperous life. This is enough. They will follow Zhang Yi and fight to the end.
"Liu'er, there are only four people in this world who can understand me," Zhang Yi said with emotion, "That's my father, you, Xiaolong and Xiaohan. I'm very satisfied."
"Haha, we are your close friends." Xiaoliu said happily.
"You are not only my close friends, but also my noble people. Without your help, I will not be able to accomplish great things." Zhang Yi said gratefully.
"Then you should work hard. We all want to see the day when dragon flags are planted all over the world." Xiao Liu said happily.
"There will be a day." Zhang Yi said confidently.
…
Zhang Yi asked Chen Yiyi to inform the senior officials of Greater China that the Eastern Expeditionary Force will set off from Chang'an on March 1, arrive at Andong City before the end of March, and is expected to conquer South Korea before the end of May.
After that, Zhang Yi will go to Xiamen Port and join forces with Little China to solve the Ryukyu Islands issue.
If everything goes well, we will prepare for an expedition to Japan.
This is an ambitious plan.
Chen Yiyi was excited and looking forward to it, but also a little worried. Can it go smoothly?
"Brother Chen, my plan is based on the premise that there are no variables," Zhang Yi said sincerely. "If Vice Premier Sun and others interfere with it, it may affect the implementation of the overall plan."
"This is exactly what I'm worried about, Brother Yi," Chen Yiyi lowered his voice and said, "I'm just a warrior and don't know the inside story of the top management, but I have prejudices against Vice Premier Sun. Brother Yi, do you remember that when
When you went to Xinhui City, he tried to control you!"
"I remember this, Brother Chen, I remember."
Zhang Yi held Chen Yiyi's hand and nodded repeatedly. If not for Chen Yiyi's help, he would have been taken to the capital by Vice Premier Sun, and the consequences would be disastrous.
"At that time, we were still very weak, Brother Chen, but it is different now."
There is something in Zhang Yi's words.
Chen Yiyi nodded and held back what he wanted to say. In fact, he wanted to remind Zhang Yi to leave a way out, but it was obvious that Zhang Yi had already made arrangements.
It was precisely because of honest soldiers like Chen Yiyi and Marshal Zhu Hao who were willing to consider the future of China that Zhang Yi firmly believed in peacefully resolving internal conflicts.
Zhang Yi believes that it is only a small group of people who create obstacles. Most people want China to be integrated together. The lives of innocent compatriots cannot be sacrificed just because of a few people.
He will take extraordinary measures when necessary.
Zhang Yi has a ruthless side, but he has to wait for the opportunity.
…
There is still half a month left until March 1st, the day of departure.
Zhang Yi mobilized 100,000 new troops to rush outside Mopan City and set up camp. In name, they were conducting military training, but in fact, they were ready to go out at any time.
The commander-in-chief of this army is Xiaolong, and his deputy is Liao Fan.
Once the old China turns its back, they will take on the task of raiding and assist the Eastern Expeditionary Force to return to its territory.
Of course, this new army is also equipped with artillery and armored vehicles, but they are kept confidential. The artillery is installed in the armored vehicle, and the outside of the armored vehicle is covered with wooden boards. It only marches late at night, and after arriving at the designated location, it is sealed up.
Heavily guarded.
In order to avoid instability at the rear during the expedition, Zhang Yi recalled Wang Zheng and Asir and gave them face-to-face instructions. Before successfully conquering Korea and Japan, the Western Military Region and the Northern Military Region must remain on the defensive and no longer launch any active attacks.
When encountering an invasion from a foreign enemy, you can only fight back when you have no choice but to do so.
"The situation in the north is very stable. The Tsarist Empire is in a state of decline. The tribes they control are showing favor to us one after another," General Asr reported. "I want to station some troops in Tongliao. Once my brother is in danger, we can be there in a few days."
We will rush to rescue within a few days.”
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded: "Very good, Brother Aser, with you sitting in the rear, Old China will not act rashly."
"This is the best," General Wang Zheng agreed. "It always makes people feel uneasy when I go deep into the hinterland of old China. With Xiaolong and Aser as backup, it should be much safer."
"Don't worry, Brother Wang, we are just thinking about the worst. Maybe, that bad situation will not happen." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"It's always good to be careful, Yi Ge," Wang Zheng said. "Recently, the situation in Central Asia has been a bit turbulent. There has been no letter from Qiao Da for a long time. I sent people to investigate and found that envoys from England, France and Germany have appeared in various countries.
, this is not a good sign!”
"I'm very worried about the safety of Qiao Dayou and others. Brother Wang, you are trying your best to get in touch with Qiao Dayou." Zhang Yi was concerned about this matter.
There will be a turmoil in Central Asia. This is a matter of time. With the development of Chinese trade routes, tea, silk fabrics, plastic products and glassware have been continuously shipped to the West, and trade has begun to bear fruit.
At the same time, the Western powers began to make moves. They watched their gold and silver flowing to the East, and they must not be able to sit still.
"Okay, Brother Yi, please rest assured. I will contact Qiao Dayou as soon as possible. After Brother Yi takes over Korea and Japan, we will use our full strength to deal with the barbarians coming from the west!" General Wang Zheng clenched his fist and said.
