Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

The head of the Zhuo family seemed to have expected it. There was no wave on his face, and his eyes were calm and calm. He just said,

"Dragon City is not here today, but the Meng family is. Why don't you ask the Meng family for confirmation?"

Um? That's an idea. If you've never eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig running?

In the same way, the big guy really knows nothing about leading troops in battle, but he can't be fooled casually.

Mr. Xun then touched his smooth white beard and said,

"Master Meng, in that case, please tell me yourself, do you know how to arrange troops and train a strong army?"

Meng Zhao had already weighed it in his mind. Being pushed to the stage by the head of the Zhuo family must have advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that from now on, he will become a banner facing the county prince's palace.

Because everyone recommended him to compete with the people in the county and prince's palace for military power, instead of just letting him follow the crowd.

You can't keep a low profile. Standing in this position, you will naturally have to accept challenges, and in a short period of time, there will be troubles that ordinary people may not be able to handle.

Of course, there are advantages. He is directly qualified to take charge of the government army, which is not something ordinary people can spy on. At least it saves Meng Zhao a lot of energy, and he has a promising future.

If it can be operated well, with the help of military power, it can actually radiate to the entire Lingwu City. By then, even if it does not annex the local wealthy families, it will be enough to suppress all dissatisfaction and reach the peak of Lingwu power.

So, do the pros outweigh the cons, or do the cons outweigh the pros?

Of course it's the former. After all, Meng Zhao has never been afraid of challenges from others, and he even planned to do his best to get this qualification. Now he is so lucky that he has to eat it.

Therefore, he thought for a moment, a friendly smile appeared on his face, and said,

"Everyone, since we are talking about Mr. Meng, as a member of Lingwu City, I really have a few things to say and would like to ask you for some advice.

Let’s talk about the fight for military power with the prince’s government first.

Yes, 99% of the people in the army are all transferred from our subordinates, so they naturally have certain advantages, which the Beitang royal family cannot match.

However, have you ever thought about whether this government army is a formal establishment or a makeshift rebel army?

If it's the latter, then that's it. If there are enemies, gather them together and kill them bravely. If there are hidden dangers in the enemy's side, you should disperse this rebel army and return to its original appearance.

We have gathered the strength of most people, and we are indeed qualified and capable to compete with the prince's government.

However, if this army is formally trained, registered with the Imperial Ministry of War, and even given a name to form an army, can we privately award and accept the positions of generals from top to bottom?

For example, take the Dragon City mentioned by the Ding family leader. Even if he really has the ability to use troops unexpectedly, how can he compare with the generals sent by the royal family?

It's a single personality difference that you may not be able to resolve even if you try your best. "

When everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized what they had overlooked.

They had heard Beitang He say before that the formation of the government army was a verbal order from the imperial court, so naturally it was a rebel army that was no longer forming.

Now think about it carefully, if it is really registered with the Ministry of War, their little calculations will be really ridiculous.

The generals of the rebel army can be elected by everyone, but the official generals of the government army must be approved by the court before they can be qualified to sit in this position and secure this position.

For example, Long Cheng, no matter how famous he is in the martial arts world, from the perspective of the Ministry of War and the military, he is just a passerby, and it is impossible to directly promote such a person to a general. General of the army, this not only messes up the rules, but also breaks the laws of the court.

Therefore, after thinking of this, everyone panicked. If the imperial court really didn't want to lose face, how could they, who could only huddle in Lingwu City, have any chance of competing with the royal family?

When someone comes down with a decree, they must listen to it or not, otherwise they are disobedient.

As for the argument that Lingwu people govern Lingwu people, the court also has something to say. The premise of this meaning is that there is no army. Now that there is a large army, naturally we cannot act according to the old rules.

The formation of an army was unanimously agreed upon by all the forces in Lingwu City, and there was no way to go back on it even if you wanted to.

When that time comes, they will really become idiots who lose both their wives and their troops.

The calculations come and go, but in the end the calculations come to nothing, and you have nothing. Wouldn’t you be ridiculed by others?

There are also some sober-minded people who shake their heads secretly when they see the whole library crying and feeling bitter and resentful.

This is the limitation of the local forces in Lingwu City. More than a hundred years of success have made them think that the world they see is the entire world. However, they are always a frog in the well.

The imperial court was just unwilling to disobey Taizu's orders, and did not bother to compete with them for the gains and losses of this mere city.

But if it is really necessary, it is extremely simple to deal with these people. As it is now, it is obvious that the imperial court intends to use the power of the prince's palace to clean up Lingwu City.

If they don't realize it, they die in confusion. If they realize it, there's nothing they can do about it, because they don't have the strength to compete, so they can only sit back and wait for death.

In the future, it will be absolutely impossible for these wealthy families, sects, and gangs to regard Lingwu City as their backyard as they did in the past.

This is the result of having no backing and blindly resisting contact with major outside forces.

They were used to being local bullies, and suddenly someone came and wanted to treat them as dogs. Meng Zhao himself would not be happy either.

It's a pity that no matter how unhappy or unhappy you are, you can't change the current reality.

At this time, the head of the Ding family tried to say,

"Perhaps we can use Dragon City to get in touch with General Huwei in Weizhou and use his connections in the court to mediate for us?"

That's what he said, but he himself didn't seem confident, and his eyes were a little restless.

In the past, he had only heard how the two daughters of General Huwei were beautiful and fragrant, and they were captured by Dragon City and treated as a romantic affair.

How could he bother to investigate a general's personal connections?

Meng Zhao was already prepared. He sighed and said proactively,

"Master Ding, I'm afraid you don't understand. General Huwei of Weizhou was born in a poor family. He was famous for suppressing the Sea King clan in the East China Sea. After fighting many battles for many years, he gained the attention of the general in the army and was promoted to general.

But so far, you are only a fifth-grade military officer, with only three thousand tiger guards under your command. You are not allowed to do anything without the order of the imperial court. I am afraid that you don't have the face and connections to make the imperial court do what you want. "

This is embarrassing. Although General Huwei is very powerful locally and can speak for himself, in the central court, he is really not a general, let alone a good relationship.

What Meng Zhao said was that he had a nose and eyes, and the guys didn't think he would lie and deceive them.

At this time, Zhai Hao, who had always been on good terms with Meng Zhao and had some understanding of the relationship between the Meng family, said,

"Master Meng, is there nothing you can do?"
