Chapter 9737
Mount Rong.

Zhang Tianyi expressed his concerns.

The imperial court's spring offensive should be the most worrying thing for the strength of the Southern Witch Cult.

What they should do urgently is to prevent Luo Fengtang from leading troops to attack Bozhou.

"Just think about it from that point of view."

Zhang Tianyi said.

"I guessed this too, but how will he stop it?"

Luo Fengtang frowned.

He is not a fool, Zhang Tianyi thought of this, he also thought of it, but when he thought about it further, he couldn't think of anything.

"They can think of ways from the aspects of funds, ordnance, food, soldiers, generals, court, etc."

Zhang Tianyi stood up and paced lightly, pinching his chin with his fingers and thinking.

"On the court side, the Southern Witch Cult should be powerless. Even if they infiltrate the court, they won't hold high positions. As long as the emperor can always support Brother Luo, there will be no big problem in this regard."

Officials of the Great Qi court have always been infiltrated by forces from all sides, but the current Qi Huang Qi Xingyun is not a fatuous person. Those important officials of the court have been investigated by Yinwei for eight generations. It is almost impossible for the enemy to reach the level of important officials. .

Therefore, it is difficult for the Southern Witch Cult to affect the grand plans of the Daqi court.

"As for the generals, if they want to assassinate Brother Luo, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult."

The Southern Witch Cult should have considerable strength in Yizhou, but they are unlikely to directly assassinate Luo Fengtang, even if they wanted to, it would be difficult to do so.

After all, Luo Fengtang is a rare martial arts master, and he has a powerful personal guard around him. If he was assassinated, it would be evil.

"Looking at the funds again, the money is allocated by the imperial court. If the imperial court is stable, the money will also be stable." Zhang Tianyi said.

"The imperial court only allocated part of it, and the other part was self-raised. Currently, it is self-raised locally in Yizhou."

Luo Fengtang suddenly spoke.

In some aspects, he knew a lot of information that Zhang Tianyi didn't know.

Since Zhang Tianyi is going to plan, there is no need to hide some confidential information.

Otherwise, if Zhang Tianyi came to a wrong conclusion because of some wrong information, it would be too wronged.

"The other part is self-raised... Then the funds are not 100% safe. I wonder where Brother Luo plans to raise funds from?"

Zhang Tianyi asked.

"When I came to Yizhou this time, I brought a lot of bonds from the imperial court. I raised funds by issuing bonds and letting people in Yizhou buy them."

Luo Fengtang said.

"Didn't you collect donations from the wealthy gentry in Yizhou?"

Zhang Tianyi couldn't help asking.

In the past, when the imperial court wanted to raise money, they basically used donation methods, but this time Luo Fengtang did not use the old routine.

"If donations don't work, those gentry and wealthy households will definitely cry poorly. They won't pay a lot of money, and they will hate the court in private... Those people are not very capable of helping, but they are not capable of causing damage behind the scenes. Small, so, the old method doesn’t work.”

Luo Fengtang said slowly.

"I understand that if the funds are raised by issuing bonds, many problems can be avoided, but the consequence is to increase the financial burden on the Yizhou county government."

Zhang Tianyi saw the problems at a glance.

This is to transfer part of the financial burden of the central government to the local yamen.

The local yamen itself has to be maintained, the salaries of so many officials have to be paid, and all the affairs of the yamen have to be handled, and the corresponding funds are indispensable.

"That's for the future..."

Luo Fengtang said slowly: "If you can win Bozhou and destroy the Yang family in Bozhou, any financial crisis can be resolved."

"If we lose, I'm afraid Yizhou will lose its security, and the financial crisis will no longer exist."

"Brother Luo said that no matter you win or lose, you can solve the problem."

Zhang Tianyi nodded, admitting that Luo Fengtang was right.

"Since this is the case, it is difficult for the Southern Witch Cult to do anything about the problem of funds. I believe that there must be people buying the bonds of the imperial court. I am afraid that the supply will exceed the demand."

"The bonds sent by the capital have been exchanged by the previous imperial court, which shows that the imperial court has a high reputation, so Yizhou people are not afraid of the imperial court's repudiation."

Zhang Tianyi saw that this was a matter of credit, and the court could raise enough money if it had enough credit.

"If you remove the funding issue, then there are only military supplies and soldiers left."

"Ordnance, food and grass should not be a big problem, it seems that the most likely thing is the soldiers."

Zhang Tianyi locked the target.

"Why is there no big problem with ordnance and food?"

Luo Fengtang wondered.

"Didn't Brother Luo come from Sixiang County?"

"The battle of the Four Elephants shook the world. Daqi's new firearms became famous all over the world, and brother Luo's name became even louder. How could there be any problems when the arms were transported from the Four Elephant City? And the food and grass, Brother Luo has already Wan Yiren, the governor of the county, was overthrown, and Wan Yiren hoarded a large amount of food, and it should be too late to transfer it away."

Zhang Tianyi said.

"Brother Zhang really has extraordinary knowledge. You guessed it right. We found a large amount of grain in an underground warehouse in the west of the city. All of it was accumulated by Wan Yiren over the years, and he didn't have time to take it away."

Luo Fengtang said.

"That's easy to handle. In the end, there is only one possibility left, and that is the soldiers."

"The Southern Witch Cult is most likely to tamper with the soldiers."

Zhang Tianyi narrowed his eyes.

Now that he has identified the greatest possible direction, Zhang Tianyi is spending time thinking.

He put himself into the identity of the Southern Witch Sect to think about it.

"Soldiers, I plan to look for soldiers from four aspects."

Luo Fengtang said slowly: "One is the veterans I brought over from Sixiang City. There are a total of 2000 of them. These are elite soldiers, veterans who have experienced life-and-death battles."

Zhang Tianyi himself is also a leader of soldiers. On the surface, he looks like a wild way, but in fact, he has read serious military books.

In this way, he has both theory and practice, so he can be regarded as a qualified general.

"Veterans are the most precious. Two thousand veterans can be expanded to 20 during extraordinary times."

Zhang Tianyi said.

"This is a veteran. Second, I will get soldiers from the indigenous people of Shiwan Dashan."

Luo Fengtang said.

"One hundred thousand Dashan indigenous people, I think there must be tricks among them."

Zhang Tianyi frowned.

"No way?"

Luo Fengtang said.

"The indigenous tribes of the Hundred Thousand Dashan Mountains, good and bad, seem to be all indigenous. In fact, they have different factions. There are dozens of small tribes among them. Maybe there are tribes that have been completely infiltrated by the Southern Witch Cult. If the soldiers come from there, it is very likely There might be trouble."

Zhang Tianyi said.

"How do they mess up? As soon as they enter the barracks, I will mess them up and manage them separately. They can't do anything."

Luo Fengtang has quite a set of methods to guard against those who intend to wreak havoc in the barracks.
