Although most of the people were from the lower class and had limited knowledge, they still saw clearly some issues, especially what Meng Zhao said clearly and understandably.
The reason for the current situation is, on the surface, the problem of rebellion in the south, which Dayong has been unable to solve for a long time.
In fact, it was the top nobles of Dayong who were fighting against the royal family of Dayong Beitang.
Meng Zhao did not explain the specific reasons, but the word "stern" he said already indicated some problems.
This made everyone's hearts ripple, and they began to think involuntarily.
It is widely circulated that Taizu Dayong founded the country. His skills surpassed those of other heroes, and he was supported by many separatist forces. He successfully reached the top and avoided countless disputes and accidents. However, at the same time, too many people who should belong to the royal family were divided. right.
This is the so-called hidden danger left by the ancestors. Local forces are strong, but the central government cannot suppress everything, and the master-slave relationship is vaguely imbalanced.
Now, it seems that the Dayong royal family wants to take back the rights that should belong to the royal family, thereby offending the noble system.
This should also be the fundamental reason why the Beitang royal family has been unable to quell the rebellion in the south.
It was not a fight with mere rebels, but a fight with the top noble forces, and it wasn't even one family.
It's no wonder that the imperial army is so weak. It is obviously the elite of the prosperous imperial court, but it can't put down the rebellion in just one place. There are deep-seated reasons for this.
But now, the situation is even more serious. The problem in the south has not been resolved, and the outcome of the two sides has not been decided. A heavy snowstorm has swept across the north, causing civil unrest and turmoil.
To put it in layman's terms, even the Beitang royal family could not imagine that they would face such a dilemma.
However, from another perspective, the dilemma of the Dayong royal family is a victory for the weakened noble system. At least the snowstorm in the north attracted a lot of attention and energy from the court, the southern rebels, and the people behind the scenes. The forces also got a chance to breathe.
Not to mention, under the snowstorm, there are many ambitious people hiding in the snow disaster who want to take action against this dynasty that is obviously strong on the outside and capable on the inside.
The Divine Power Army is just a force supported by many careerists. There should be similar forces in Liangzhou.
After everyone tasted it, smart people such as Xiang Qing, Si Peng, Hong Tianzheng, and Shen Zhihang vaguely understood that the reason why Meng Zhao said this to them was actually a kind of temptation and bewitchment.
What is the direct impact of what Meng Zhao said?
It's very simple, shake everyone's impression of the Dayong Dynasty's tyranny and invincibility, and instill a feeling that the Dayong Dynasty is not invincible, and it is now in a dangerous situation.
What are the benefits of doing this?
It is also very clear, so that everyone can endure loneliness and at the same time increase their confidence in Meng Zhao.
After all, although the Meng family is inconspicuous in the noble system, it is indeed a force in it.
Meng Zhao represents one of the strongest forces in the land of China, and its future is bright.
Didn't you see that even the Li family, with the ninth surname, personally supported the puppet rebels, and their momentum was huge. Although these rebels did not have much success, their prospects were not necessarily as good as those of the southern rebels.
Because the chaos in the south has become a serious problem for the imperial court, and the snowstorm in the north has severely damaged the imperial court's influence here, there is a lot to be done.
It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that Meng Zhao's ambition was probably far beyond their imagination.
From some of his comments about the Yong Dynasty, there is no sense of respect or regret. Instead, he seems to be a hungry tiger, coveting this piece of fat.
Relying on his close relationship with Meng Zhao, Si Peng carefully raised his eyes and probed,
"General, if this is the case, will the future goals of our Shenwei Army remain the same?"
The purpose of the Divine Power Army is to rebel, to maintain the status quo, and of course to rebel.
But before, the person behind the Shenwei Army was Bai Shuai, and now he became Meng Zhao. The contrast is actually quite big.
At least Meng Zhao is still a general appointed by the imperial court, and he is deeply grateful for the emperor's favor. However, he has evil intentions. If this reputation spreads, it will definitely be harmful and useless.
Meng Zhao smiled slightly, said nothing, and just responded with silence.
When everyone saw this, they understood something and did not dare to mention it again.
"I know that the Shenwei Army's first battle was to unite with the Pudu Sect and form a horned force to attack Lingwu City, seize the gateway to the three states, open the passage between the three states, and thus occupy the strategically deep place.
However, now that I own the Divine Power Army, this plan will naturally fail. "
"What does the general mean by asking us to pretend to besiege Lingwu City like before, but in reality we are joining forces with the Yangwu Army to defeat the Pudu Sect?"
Everyone is vaguely aware of the Shenwei Army's plan, and they also understand that with Meng Zhao here, they can't even think about it.
So, is it to use the Divine Power Army to defect in the face of battle and defeat the Pudu Sect?
"Wrong, the Pudu Sect is a religious rebel army, people who pretend to be gods and ghosts. Although they are more numerous than the Yangwu Army, I have enough confidence to defend the city and even defeat the thieves, so there is no need for the Divine Power Army.
What I mean is that the Shenwei Army, as a secret army in my hands, lurks in Liangzhou and exists as a surprise force.
I don't have high demands on you either. Just keep training as usual. The higher the morale, the higher the skills, the higher the loyalty, the better.
After solving the logistical risks, you can go out in batches to eliminate bandits under the leadership of the guard generals.
It can not only play the role of training troops, but also recruit the best among them, train them into elite soldiers, and plunder their supplies to enrich their strength.
Thirty thousand soldiers are still not enough. At least 20,000 soldiers must be raised, or even more, to be of great use.
When the time comes, the Shenwei Army, the Yangwu Army, our Meng family's army in Jizhou, and even the army in Yanzhou will all join forces to conquer the Northland, which will have the final say. "
The prospect that Meng Zhao planned for everyone can be described as great.
There are strong soldiers in the three states, as well as Lingwu City, which is the gateway, and it seems that everything is possible to attack the city.
But, is it really possible to achieve such dazzling results so easily?
Everyone was worried, but looking at Meng Zhao's determined, domineering, and confident eyes, they involuntarily chose to believe him.
The imperial court is already in this state. It seems that all the strength has been exhausted, and there is even a heavy snowstorm falling from the sky.
And the person in front of me has risen like a comet, becoming a dragon among men, and may have a certain chance to dominate the world.
If this is the case, the noble family and wealthy family of today may not be the same family as they will be in the future.
This is honoring our ancestors, and we can do it despite the risks!
And it was these words that eliminated the hidden dissatisfaction and doubts of the senior leaders of the Shenwei Army who were not accepted as officers and soldiers and were still regarded as thieves.
In addition, it also stimulated the ambitions of these people and, to a large extent, attracted their loyalty.
This is why Meng Zhao took the risk to reveal many secret information.
