Yang Zhi is still very smart. He knows that traitors generally do not have a good end. Even if the court uses him very seriously now, it is because he still has some use value. Losing your head is common.
To protect himself in the future, and of course to follow suit in the future, he must take the initiative to pull out another force. Of course, he will not take the lead himself, and he does not have that ability.
But he can encourage capable potential stocks within the Manchu Qing Dynasty to come forward, and he will become the first think tank and first hero around this potential stock.
In this way, his identity has changed. In Xiao Letian's eyes, he is a traitor, and in front of Cixi and Guiziliu, he is a traitor, both of whom will not get a good end.
But here with Yi Pei, his identity has changed. He suddenly transformed into a minister from the dragon! This status is incredible. As long as Yi Pei does not fall, Yang Zhi's wealth and peace will be saved for the rest of his life.
For his own life, Yang Zhi fought hard!
"Your Majesty, I have three strategies to share with you. As long as your Majesty listens to me, no matter whether you can take a step forward in the future, at least you will be in an invincible position!"
"Oh? The plan is to come out..." A group of people gathered their heads together. Yanzhihu saw that the men were all interested. She didn't bother and went to make the sobering soup. The woman who was waiting for everyone while they were resting also wanted to pick something. Beautiful choice.
Yang Zhi looked around and said in a low voice, "The first is to train elite soldiers. It is better to train elite soldiers than to be indiscriminate. According to Xiao Letian, they are special forces..."
"With your influence in the Three Mountains, Your Majesty, it should not be a problem to secretly recruit 600 to 800 heroes. These people have high martial arts skills and very good physical fitness. What they lack is Western warfare..."
"We gathered them together and trained them secretly according to Western military training methods. They must be able to operate muskets, artillery, explosives, telegraphs... all kinds of new weapons, and then they must be able to read and write, and they must pay attention to military discipline... "
"My lord! Don't think that these conditions are simple. In fact, they are very difficult! Especially reading and literacy, as well as the military discipline of collective combat, are not something ordinary heroes can learn, so six hundred to eight hundred elites are already It’s the limit!”
"Don't despise the role of having a small number of people. It cost 10 million to build 800 elite tiger soldiers. You can think about how powerful this army will be! When the big changes come, these will be the surprise troops in the battle. !”
"At a critical moment, if you kill through the formation and take the general's head with thousands of troops, it will be more useful than training 12,000 ordinary troops!"
Yi Pei has also read military books. "Isn't this Lu Bu's soldiers who are trapped in the battle? Is this the elite black armor in Li Shimin's hands? If I really gave up 10 million to build 800 elite soldiers, I would really be able to train such elite soldiers!"
"Yes! That's right, my prince, times have changed. The army has changed from focusing on quantity in the past to focusing on quality. Even if you have thousands of troops, you will still be unable to defeat a heavy artillery bombardment!"
"We must admit that we have no numerical advantage compared to the imperial court, and we have no qualitative advantage compared to Xiao Letian. So what should we do? We can only make dangerous moves, temporarily avoid their sharp edges, and train our elites. There will be times when their bayonets are red, and when the situation becomes chaotic, we can take advantage of the chaos!"
Bang bang bang... Li Tuo's excited eyes lit up and he clapped involuntarily, "Yes, this idea is right! The prince chooses strangers from the world as his army. These people are most suitable for melee, chaos, and night battles! The tasks that are inconvenient for the army to move quickly are all places where we can manipulate!"
"Hahaha... Beheading operations, capturing hostages, intercepting and killing supply troops, burning food, grass and baggage, by then we will become a strange force. If any force wants to win, it must have a good relationship with us. This is the only way to stand on the ground. The foundation of an invincible land!”
Yang Zhi nodded, "Training troops and training elite troops is only the first plan, but the second plan is to make money!"
Speaking of this, Yang Zhi couldn't help but look lonely, "Whether we admit it or not, the most profitable person in Asia right now is Xiao Letian. If you want to make money, you can't go against him. If you want to make big money, you have to chase him. Go in his footsteps!”
"The Chinese War stock came out of nowhere, which has both advantages and disadvantages for us. The disadvantage is that Jiangnan's wealth has been wiped out by Xiao Letian, and there is not much left for us..."
"But the good side is that it is precisely because of the stock of Chinese War that Xiao Letian's financial strategy has become transparent. We don't have to guess what kind of conspiracy he is planning to use. As long as we hold a large number of Chinese stocks, By fighting this stock, we can steadily reap dividends!”
"This is using Xiao Letian's money to support our own army!"
"From now on, our source of wealth should be divided into three parts. The first part is to use the Beipiao printing press I control to secretly prepare military expenditures. The second part is to hold a large amount of Chinese wars and enjoy Xiao Letian's war dividends. The third is to make good use of the Jiangnan stock market, buy low and sell high, use our network among officials, and use the news to make money..."
"As long as these three financial sources are guaranteed, and finally some other assets are properly equipped, our army will never be short of money! This is my second strategic plan!"
"Exquisite, really exquisite! What a great talent!" Yi Pei's eyes lit up after hearing this. "What about the third item?"
Yang Zhi was suddenly silent for a long time before he said, "I actually didn't want to talk about this third strategy, but I've already mentioned it here... That's it, that's it!"
Yang Zhi hugged Yi Pei and said, "Today's Qing Dynasty is a country in name, but it is already fragmented internally. Your Majesty, you have to leave yourself a way out!"
"A way out?" Yi Pei was stunned.
"Yes, the retreat is in the southwest, in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. From today on, the officials of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan accept that the prince must fight and intervene! In the current Qing Dynasty, the southwest region is already owned by the Hunan army, Chinese, and foreigners. Our sphere of influence is over, we can’t reach out!”
"The Northeast region is the root of the Eight Banners, and is where the Far East Volunteer Army and the Rakshasa ghosts fight. We have no place, and the northwest is also fighting. No one can get in unless Zuo Zongtang leaves. As for the Central Plains, it is the imperial court. The key hinterland, we will see it clearly as soon as we take action against the Queen Mother and the Six Japs!"
"Only in the southwest of the Qing Dynasty, not many forces are involved so far. We must make that area your own private territory. It will be your retreat in the future when there is really no way out!"
"Yungui River is a good place, with Tibet to the west and Annan to the south. Now the French are expanding their influence in Annan. As long as we connect with the French, we can carry out foreign trade leading to Annan, and the products of the Land of Abundance can pass through Annan. The port goes straight to Europe..."
"Land, population, trade routes, natural chasm...With these, what else does the prince have to fear?"
Yi Pei's heart was beating wildly, and he stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Zhi, "Sir, you are a great talent! From now on, Xiao Wang will obey your advice. If you have three clever plans, Xiao Wang dares not to obey!"
In the spring of 1869, Yang Zhi proposed three strategies. From then on, the Wuye Party in the Qing Dynasty suddenly emerged and was destined to make trouble in the history books.
