Chapter 179 The Truth about the Northwest
Mu Feng felt more and more that this young man was not simple. You know, they had also conducted some investigations on Lin Kunlun. Otherwise, they would not have let him participate in such a confidential matter. They knew that Lin Kunlun had never even attended a private school for a day. But from the way Lin Kunlun talked, he was not like an ordinary mountain dweller who had never been to school and had no experience!
"Mr. Lin! If things continue to develop like this, what will happen to the Dakun Dynasty? Will it be overthrown by these rebels? Will anyone among these rebels be able to rule the Dakun Dynasty in the end? Or will it have to go through a long period of chaos like before?" Mu Feng is not like other generals! He has a lot of his own ideas, otherwise he would not have been left in the village to take charge of the overall situation.
"If Emperor Chongming continues like this and fails to punish those corrupt officials, the Dakun Dynasty will surely perish! The drought is just a fuse! The drought in the west has prompted the hungry civilians in the west to revolt! The barbarian tribes in the northeast have tied up their elite troops! The finances of the Dakun Dynasty, which has long collapsed, can no longer support this kind of two-front war! The collapse of the Dakun Dynasty is only a matter of time, and it also depends on who among these rebel forces can first occupy the rich areas in the east and grow stronger! From the current perspective, the Yuan Quan brothers have the best chance. After all, both in terms of the combat effectiveness of trained soldiers and the reputation of the Yuan family, there is a chance! But no matter who finally captures Kyoto, the real thing to guard against is the barbarians in the north!" Lin Kunlun analyzed at this time.
"Barbarians! Although they are relatively strong now, they actually have only tens of thousands of soldiers who can fight! With these tens of thousands of people, although they can rely on their superb riding and archery skills to harass and attack the heartland of the Central Plains from places with weak border defenses! But it may not be easy for them to conquer the world!" Mu Feng objected when he heard Lin Kunlun's analysis!
"Now it seems that they only have tens of thousands of people! If they cooperate with those grassland tribes in the north, they may have hundreds of thousands of people! And with their current strength and marriage relationship, I am afraid that the grassland tribes in the north have been conquered by them! What we really have to face is not the tens of thousands of barbarians in the northeast, but the barbarians, combined with hundreds of thousands of other grassland tribes! When the Dakun Dynasty was founded and was at its strongest, it was naturally not afraid of these grassland tribes, and it could drive them to the Mobei area! But the current Dakun Dynasty may not be able to produce such a powerful army! And have you ever thought about why? Those barbarian tribes can get so many sophisticated weapons between the Black Water and the White Mountain. Those weapons are probably no worse than those of your border guards! Where do they get the raw materials to make weapons?" Lin Kunlun asked back at this time. He didn't have a real military talent under his command, so he wanted Mu Feng to be convinced by him at this time. Or to be closer to him. Well, he can train troops for him in the future and even help him fight.
"I've heard about this from the old commander! Inside Dakun, there are a large number of merchants who sell a large amount of ironware to the blind in exchange for the precious herbs and animal furs that are harmful to their health! We used to be unable to catch some of these merchants! But in the face of huge profits, people keep finding ways to sell them ironware and even gunpowder! If it weren't for these people, so many brothers of the border army would not have died!" Mu Feng was very impressed after listening to Lin Kunlun's words.
"That's right! As long as there are enough benefits, there will be people who will ignore the stability of the Central Plains Dynasty and support those barbarians! Even at the critical moment, some generals can surrender for the sake of benefits. Dakun is now rotten to the core and there is no hope! If we really want to save the people in the Central Plains! Don't let them become the objects of arbitrary slaughter by these northern foreign races! We can only change the world and completely rot this corrupt Dakun Dynasty and bury it in the dust of history! Build a new dynasty on it! All the benefits gained by those civil service groups must be spit out by them! Use it to develop the dynasty! Only in this way can we resist these northern foreign races! To some extent, Zhu Zhong, the founder of the Dakun Dynasty, did this! The termite was able to build such a big dynasty from a beggar! In the current situation, our starting point is not lower than his, why can't we make achievements? Give the people of the Central Plains a dynasty where they can live and work in peace and contentment!" Lin Kunlun's words were full of passion and foresight. He not only saw the crisis that the Dakun Dynasty was about to face, but also proposed his own solution. His views aroused Mu Feng's deep thought and resonance. Mu Feng obviously had a deeper understanding of Lin Kunlun's talent and insight.
"Mr. Lin, your insights are truly unique and profound. I have never thought about these things, and you have allowed me to see the direction of our future." Mu Feng said with emotion.
"General Mu, these are just my superficial opinions. If we want to truly change the current situation, we need to work together and unite as one." Lin Kunlun responded modestly.
"That's right, we must unite. For the well-being of the people in the Central Plains and to resist the foreign invaders in the north, we must overthrow the corrupt Dakun Dynasty and establish a new dynasty." Mu Feng said firmly.
"Then, General Mu, are you willing to join us and work towards this goal together?" Lin Kunlun took the opportunity to invite.
Mu Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly: "I am willing! I believe that as long as we work together, we will succeed!"
The two smiled at each other, as if they had seen hope for the future. They knew that this road would be full of hardships and dangers, but they were ready, and for the well-being of the people of the Central Plains, they would move forward bravely and fearlessly.
"Alas! It's a pity that Yuan Quan hasn't figured this out yet!" Mu Feng sighed.
"How can you say that!" Lin Kun couldn't help but frown. You know, Yuan Quan has brought people to turn the entire Northwest County upside down. From the news from the mountain stronghold, it can be seen that Yuan Quan and his men have defeated the government troops of Northwest County more than once. This is undoubtedly a fallout with the Dakun Dynasty. Could it be that Yuan Quan still wants to surrender to the Dakun Dynasty again?
"Yuan Quan is still thinking about overturning his father's verdict at this time! So all along, even though they are developing very well now, they have never expanded the army to other places! You must know that there is no extra food and grass resources in the entire Northwest! This is very bad for the development of the army! The reason they do this is to let the Chongming Emperor overturn his father's verdict through negotiations! But the Chongming Emperor is stubborn and self-righteous, how could he admit that he was wrong! I'm afraid the result will be that the Chongming Emperor will send people to encircle and suppress them! Without enough food and enough manpower, if they are trapped in a county in the northwest, it will be dangerous!" Mu Feng sighed and said!
Lin Kunlun nodded. This is indeed the case. He was also confused at first. Why? The news he heard was that rebels appeared in Northwest County. But other places around were safe and sound. There were even few refugees. It turned out that Yuan Quan and his team were the strongest. They had never thought of fighting out of Northwest County! They were still waiting to negotiate with Emperor Chongming.
You may think of this and shake your head. Although the Dakun Dynasty is in crisis now, no matter whether it is Emperor Chongming or the ministers in the temple, no one will take a rebel army active in the Northwest Army seriously. If they are trapped in a county in the northwest, as long as they block the main traffic arteries, and then take out some food to help the victims in the northwest, I am afraid that the whole team will fall apart because of hunger and follow Yuan Quan and others.
"This won't do! We can't expand our territory, extend our strength, and gather more troops while the court is still not reacting! If it is limited to the northwest county! As long as the court sends a few troops to block the borders from the northwest county to other counties! And mobilize some food to help the victims! Then they will run out of manpower and be trapped there to death!" Lin Kunlun quickly thought of the key to development.
"That's why we're going to do something in the southwest! Now we can't persuade the young marshal, so we can only do something in the southwest to distract the court! We hope Brother Lin can lend us a hand! We are willing to help Brother Lin develop! And if Brother Lin thinks highly of us old bones, we can also charge for you!" Mu Feng suddenly said at this time! Lin Kunlun finally understood why they agreed so readily to help him train the army.
