At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange.
Everyone's faces were not pretty.
Although they were still a little unconvinced in their hearts, they had to admit that the gap in equipment was too great. Once they faced each other, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lin Bai took in everyone's reactions and said immediately: "Of course, I won't do that."
"Even if I knew there would be danger and that someone was deliberately instigating me behind my back, I still wouldn't do it. I didn't even mobilize General Zhao's army."
Everyone couldn't help but look up at him, with doubts in their eyes.
Yes!
In their view, the reason why Lin Bai took the risk in the first place was entirely because he had no other choice.
All the major chieftains in the southwest launched an attack at the same time. The small number of troops in Guinan was simply not enough. As a last resort, the talented man went alone, and his troops were in danger.
But now they know that's not the case at all.
The great talent has a trump card, and Zhao Qianjun's three thousand army is a trump card, but the opponent did not use it, or even mobilize it, and there was no trace of defense.
This couldn't help but make them all a little curious.
Lin Bai continued: "I can also tell you that there are many people in the court who want to do this."
“They all want to completely integrate the southwest.”
"Because these powerful crossbows gave them enough confidence. They believed that the imperial court had the ability to integrate the southwest and was not afraid of Dali's interference."
"Your Majesty also hesitated about this."
The faces of the chieftains became increasingly ugly, and some of them had a hint of anger in their eyes.
These words undoubtedly meant to look down upon the southwest chieftain.
But recalling the powerful destructive power of those crossbows, they really didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lin Bai did not give them a chance and continued: "But in the end His Majesty denied it, or I have said it before, I asked Your Majesty, what kind of Southwest do you want?"
"Is it the ruins and desolate Southwest?"
"If it is, it will not be difficult to win the southwest, even if Dali interferes, it will be useless."
"But, in this southwest, peace is only temporary, because the seeds of hatred are scattered all over the land. It won't take long for them to sprout again, and then rise up to resist. Then, similar things will happen again and again, and it will continue like this. "
"Besides, is a devastated southwest really interesting to Li Chao?"
"Your Majesty is silent."
"He is a man of great talent and strategy, so he naturally knows that such a southwest is of no significance to Li Chao. Li Chao has a vast territory. What does he need such a southwest for? What's the use? Isn't that just adding trouble?"
“That’s why we created the Southwest Development Plan.”
"Because what we want is a prosperous southwest, a southwest that is closely united with the interior."
"..."
Similar words were said by the great talent four months ago outside the governor's office in Guiling.
But it was really not convincing at that time.
Everyone thinks that a great talent is just bragging.
Although the talented man has proven over the past four months that he is not bragging, to be honest, he is still not very convincing.
Because the major toasts in the southwest are not soft persimmons, they are not so easy to win.
In the eyes of some people, the great genius was simply talking too fast, and in the end he was forced to implement the Southwest Development Development Project without any other choice.
The key is that a talented person has outstanding abilities and is trusted by businessmen, so he is impressive.
But to say that the imperial court had formulated it this way from the beginning, not many people believed it.
However, this will be different.
With the backing of those powerful bows and crossbows, all the chieftains would have to believe it, because with those things, it would not be difficult for the court to capture them.
Of course, they had no idea that even Lao Zhu didn't know about Vulcan crossbows and large crossbows.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that there really will be no Southwest Development.
At this time, no one spoke.
Looking at Lin Bai.
Maybe they didn't understand Lin Bai's intention, or maybe they were still shocked by those powerful crossbows and didn't come back to their senses.
Lin Bai's tone also slowed down a bit. He paused slightly, looked at everyone and continued: "Do you know why I am telling you this?"
"Because I want to tell you that today in Southwest China is hard-won and no one can destroy it."
"No one can do it!"
His voice was decisive and his eyes were resolute, "I don't know what other people's attitudes are, but I, Lin Qingfeng, was the first to refuse, because this is my hard work and the result of your joint efforts. You can just watch the previous efforts. All in vain?”
"No! You absolutely don't want to."
"Before, the southwest was poor and poor. Who has ever looked at this place?"
"Now that Southwest is starting to show some signs, they are targeting them one by one. What happened to Dali? What about Wanxiang Kingdom? No matter who they are, if they dare to take advantage of Southwest, I will be the first to refuse."
"..."
"Yes! I can't agree. What nonsense is Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom? What do they want to do!"
"That's right, the southwest has just started to improve, and we must not let anyone destroy it."
"..."
The emotions of all the chieftains were aroused and the mood was passionate.
Chaiyue also felt a little excited.
Although she knew that her uncle was talking nonsense, what she said was so good that it seemed true.
Of course, some people sensed something was wrong, so Luo Xingchen wanted to open his mouth several times, but looking at the crowd's reaction, he finally endured it.
To sing the opposite tune at this time is somewhat of a bad character.
Moreover, the other party still hasn't said anything about borrowing troops. He also wants to see how the other party can make such a request.
Of course, this mouth needs to be opened, otherwise the half-day acting would be in vain.
Lin Bai said loudly: "That's right! We will never let anyone destroy the development of Southwest, and the imperial court will never allow it."
"Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom will definitely pay the price for this, and the imperial army will arrive soon."
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lin, when will the imperial army arrive?"
Lin Bai said: "Everyone, I know that everyone is eager, but everyone should also know that the court is worried about your resistance, so there are very few troops stationed in the southwest, and it will take time to come over."
"And the reason why I called everyone together today is precisely for this reason."
coming!
Luo Xingchen's pupils shrank slightly, and he finally wanted to borrow troops.
It's so exciting, but the result...
"I know, everyone thinks that I want to borrow troops from everyone, because the imperial troops are too late."
Lin Bai glanced at everyone, then shook his head and said: "No! I have never thought of it that way. I just want to tell everyone that His Majesty has not given up on the Southwest, has not let it down, and has vigorously developed the Southwest despite heavy pressure."
“What happened in the Southwest today is there for all to see.”
"Now that the southwest is facing a crisis, the imperial court immediately sent troops to reinforce it, so should we do something?"
"The Southwest is not only His Majesty's Southwest, nor is it only the Southwest for me, Lin Qingfeng, but it is also the Southwest for you, the people who have lived on this land for generations."
