The General Staff Headquarters has conducted deductions, and with the current strength of the New Army, it will only take a month and a half to conquer the capital and its surrounding areas.
Of course, this is just military.
In order to completely solve the subsequent political, economic, cultural and situational issues, it will take several years or even ten years.
This is also the reason why Zuo Mengeng released a kind signal.
Today's world has become a situation where heroes are competing against each other.
The Hou Jin Dynasty in Liaodong was aggressive, the bandits in the northwest became more and more violent, and civil unrest continued in the southwest and southeast.
Under such a situation, all senior leaders of the camp agreed that the strategy of building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and slowly becoming king was not outdated.
There is no need for the New Army to put itself in the spotlight.
Therefore, Zuo Menggeng proposed a series of conditions to the Ming court on behalf of his camp.
First, ensure Shandong’s independence. Then Shandong liberalized canal transportation to ensure supply to the capital.
Since Feng Lun blew up the Chaoguan Wharf in the second year of Chongzhen, Zuo Menggeng has fully realized the importance of the Grand Canal.
Without this canal, the Ming Dynasty would have been completely paralyzed.
But this canal flows through Shandong, and it is now in his hands.
I have to say, it feels really good to pinch someone else's nerves.
Secondly, the Ming court recognized officials appointed independently by Shandong. In other words, Shandong maintained de facto independence, but was still nominally under the Ming Dynasty.
Thirdly, the Ming court was not allowed to obstruct economic and trade exchanges between Shandong and other places for various reasons.
If the Ming court agrees to the above three conditions, Shandong will promise not to fight against the capital.
Li Maofang went back.
The three conditions Zuo Mengeng put forward were the only results of his trip.
There is no place for him in Shandong, but with such results, he will not be held accountable by Chongzhen after returning to the court.
"According to the intelligence we have obtained, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely not give in easily due to his character. I believe that in the future, the imperial court will definitely carry out military operations against Shandong. To achieve the situation we want, military victory is The only guarantee.”
At the joint meeting, Liu Yiyuan's military uniform was straight and neat.
He likes his life now.
As the chief of general staff of an army of tens of thousands, he truly lived up to his standards, turning his oars into ashes while talking and laughing.
"If the court wants to fight, then let's fight. People are like this, and they won't reflect on it until they learn a lesson."
As the commander-in-chief, Zuo Mengeng's relaxed attitude gave everyone the firmest guarantee.
"If this is the case, we need to build a complete defense line in eastern Shandong."
On the big map, Liu Yiyuan began to state the general staff's vision.
"In the north, our army should capture the important town of Dezhou. Using this as a hub, the enemy in the north will not be able to penetrate deep into Shandong."
Dezhou has been the gateway to Shandong since ancient times, and its geographical location is very important. In order to avoid irritating the Ming Dynasty, the New Army's line of control was limited to Pingyuan County.
Now the attitude is revealed. In order to cope with the military pressure in the future, it is logical to win Texas.
After talking about the north, Liu Yiyuan emphasized the west.
"Linqing is covered with plains. If we just defend, we will need tens of thousands of troops. Therefore, the General Staff proposed to take Qiu County, Wei County, and Qinghe, and use the Zhang River and Lu River to build our army's western defense line."
"What about the south?"
Hou Xun is about to become the chief official of a province. Like a tiger in the mountains, he attaches great importance to his own territory.
But when it came to the security of the south, Zuo Menggeng and other military personnel all burst into laughter.
"If Mr. Gu doesn't worry, the south will be the focus of our army's attack immediately."
Military arrangements are the easiest, but how to govern a province and even the world in the future is the key to testing everyone.
"A few days ago, all my colleagues from the School of Liberal Arts have devoted themselves to research and carefully summarized it, and finally achieved something. I will bring it out today, and please refer to it for details."
Liu Zongzhou also had his mission when he came to Jinan.
He took out a thick charter, which was the result of his continuous discussions, arguments, and hardships with Lu Shanji, Sun Qifeng, Jiang Cai, Jiang Gai, Huang Zongxi, and all the senior officials.
This involves an ideological system that is urgently needed for the development of the new regime.
The greatest role of this system is to explain why people are human and the equal relationship between people.
No one is born a slave, especially now that slavery is in full swing everywhere, which is more conducive to the spread of such ideas.
Regarding politics, Liu Zongzhou's views are very mature.
He fully absorbed Zuo Menggeng's thoughts and insights and designed a relatively complete framework for the construction of the new regime.
The separation of powers, the functions of government, the impact of economics on politics, the importance of land, etc. are all implemented throughout.
Everyone here is happy after reading it through.
Zuo Mengeng waved the charter excitedly.
"For the needs of future development, it is time for us to have a unified understanding. Only when all of us have the same goal can we exert our greatest strength."
Everyone's hearts are surging and they are becoming more and more energetic.
There is nothing more satisfying than starting a great project from scratch.
"We are about to occupy the entire Shandong and have a complete administrative territory. Our relationship with the imperial court has been made clear, so there is no need to be secretive. At least on our territory, we must make a big splash and set up our own flag. , let our career be fair and aboveboard."
Zuo Mengeng's plan was supported by everyone.
Nowadays in Shandong, no one would naively say that "gentlemen are a group of people but not a party".
Whether it is the imperial strife of the Ming Dynasty or the conquests of the past and present, it is no surprise that all parties are united and opposed.
The relationship between Shandong and the imperial court obviously determined that peace would not last long.
In order to build a new world in the future, more and more people need to understand the new ideas and invest in them to increase their own strength.
After this obvious change in the balance of power, the establishment of a new world will become a matter of course.
Managing tens of millions of people is almost like managing a country.
Therefore, it has become inevitable to establish a more efficient administrative system.
"Everyone has a lot of work on their hands, and there are still many places that are in the ascendant and need to lay a solid foundation. I think we need to give them a certain amount of time. How about June? When the affairs in various places come to an end, we will hold a conference together. Solve all problems."
Hou Xun was mature and cautious and came up with a plan to get the best of both worlds.
Bullshit April Fools' Day!
I'm just waiting for the day 81192 comes back!
It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge this!
