Chapter 1133: Lotus Mountain Camp (Part 2)

(This is the first time I have heard of it. In this way, there must be some killing pigs and tails. Everyone has their own way of killing, hahaha!)

When Xiang Zhen touched the bag, he was shocked.

"Why are there so many?" he asked.

Wang, who was eating brown rice in big mouthfuls, said vaguely: "I asked, some time ago, wasn't there a Yixing Society conference held in Chang'an? The Tang Weekly published supplements every day, so so many accumulated."

"Do you send it every day?" Xiang Zhen took a deep breath, opened the bag, looked at the thick stack of Tang Dynasty weekly newspapers, and fell silent again.

He has always read the Datang Weekly, and is very clear that the front page headlines of the Datang Weekly are all about the relevant policies of the Northern Tang Dynasty. From the inside, he can see a lot of information.

But he really didn't expect that so many things would appear in the Northern Tang Dynasty during this period. Wherever Chang'an, something amazing must have happened.

"Have you seen it all?" Xiang Zhen asked as Wang You, who was almost finished eating a large bowl of brown rice.

"As soon as I came here this morning, I ran to you, General, and didn't have time to see!" Wang put the last little brown rice into his mouth, swallowed it whole, and picked up the soup bowl. He ignored Xiang Zhen's drinking it, and drank it in a few sips, and slapped the bowl on the table with a loud bang.

"The first year of Xinghua!" He picked up the top newspaper and Xiang Zhen's eyes shrank.

"Yes, General, Li Ze ascended the throne and became emperor, and the year name was changed to the first year of Xinghua!" Wang said again.

Xiang Zhen was silently arranged a large number of Tang Dynasty weekly newspapers according to the date and picked up the top one.

"All those who care about our Chinese civilization are one of our Greater Chinese nation. I will use my lifelong energy to make our Greater China stand tall among the nations of the world, and make our Greater Chinese Empire a true central country and last forever."

Xiang Zhen recited silently, but it seemed that Li Ze stood in the center of the hall, word by word, and a sonorous tone to his civil and military officials.

Li Ze usurped the throne, which is not news in the south. Everyone knows very well that this is going to happen sooner or later. But Li Ze's series of operations after ascending the throne really shocked the south.

Xiang Zhen looked at these newspapers one by one, and every time he read one, the expression on his face became more complicated.

"He actually decentralized power." He put down the newspaper in his hand, Xiang Zhen looked at Wang and said: "Li Ze established a Supreme Committee. There are six people in this Supreme Committee, together with Li Ze. Any decision on major policies must be passed. The other five people, one vote, and the emperor Li Ze has two votes. No matter what policy implementation, the first thing to do is to obtain a majority in this Supreme Committee is to be passed. In other words, if Li Ze wants to monopolize the power, he must obtain the support of two more people."

Wang Youyi Dai, "Is there such a thing? His behavior is really unexpected. But he is the emperor. If he wants to overturn the table, no one can stop him, right?"

"The emperor has no veto power!" Xiang Zhen said.

After hearing this, Wang was excited: "General, this is a good thing! This means that the remaining five people all have the ability to compete with Li Ze. We all know that once the power cannot be unified, there will definitely be problems. Everyone's demands are different. Li Ze is destroying the Great Wall. Even though this person's prestige is unparalleled, over time, the power of these people will grow bigger and bigger day by day, and one day, Li Ze will tie himself up."

Xiang Zhen sighed and placed a newspaper he had read in front of Wang You: "The emperor can stay here forever, but the chairman of these Supreme Committees has a term of office. Look, the maximum re-election cannot exceed two terms, which is ten years. Ten days later, no matter how good you do, you have to step down and replace others. Do you think these people are qualified to fight Li Ze in ten years?"

The king suddenly felt relieved again.

"Isn't this a change of soup or a change of medicine?"

"No, it's a big change." Xiang Zhen picked up another newspaper and said, "The formal training is about to begin. Since you are here, go and take a look, stare at me, and let me take a good look at the news. I need time, take a good look, and think about it."

The king stood up again, nodded and said, "Okay. General, please watch first, I'll go outside and stare at them in training."

When he just stepped out of the room, the assembly call had already started to blow outside the room and the rumbling drums sounded. Wang turned around and looked at Xiang Zhen seriously holding the newspaper, and found that the other party's face was really bad.

All day, Wang had looked at Xiang Zhen's thatched house on the campus countless times, but the door panel of the thatched house had never been opened.

Although there are many newspapers, I don’t have to watch it all day. Even if I finish reading all the small advertisements in the corners, it won’t take so long.

When it was completely dark and the second meal of the day had already begun in the military camp, Wang knocked on the door with two bowls of rice.

"Come in!" Xiang Zhen's voice came from the room.

He pushed open the door with his elbow and looked at Xiang Zhen and said, "General, is it so good-looking? Apart from some of their policies, everything else is nothing more than some inexplicable things."

In the room, newspapers were scattered all over the floor, but Xiang Zhen was lying on the table and writing quickly. When he heard this, he raised his head and said, "It's very interesting. In addition to these policies, even these things you think are inexplicable can see a lot of mystery from it. If you are careful, you can even calculate their economic situation, public security situation and other information from it."

"We have special people to do this, so I won't worry about it!" Wang put the big bowl in front of Xiang Zhen again: "General, let's have a meal first. This big bowl of tender lamb meat is specially dedicated to you by the whistle that won the reward today." Wang said again: "To be honest, the mental outlook of these soldiers is really new. I remember when I recruited them in, they all had pale faces and thin skin, shrunk, and they didn't dare to look up at people. Now they are talking in front of me, but the sound is like a bell, and they are very arrogant!"

"If even this change cannot be achieved, how can we compete with Li Ze?" Xiang Zhen did not eat, pushed the food aside, paced back and forth between newspapers all over the ground, and said, "Wang again, we need to make changes."

"Hmm?" Wang looked at Xiang Zhen with a strange look again: "General, isn't everything we do now just for change?"

"I'm not talking about the two of us, nor our army, but our entire south!" Xiang Zhen supported the table with both hands and looked at Wang You with bright eyes.

"General, we all know that with our current situation, we must make changes, but we are really careless now, and it doesn't matter what we say. And if we say frankly, change means that many people will lose their current interests. Do you think they will agree? The Grand Marshal has always said that what the Southern Alliance needs now is stability and unity, so it is impossible to make a big move." Wang shook his head and said.

"I don't know whether what Li Ze is doing now is good or bad in the future, but it is undeniable that he can fully stimulate everyone's energy in a short period of time. Because of his policies, he has truly opened a channel for ordinary people to move upward. I carefully studied the list of committees published on the Tang Weekly Report. Each of these lists has a detailed introduction to the resume. Do you know? Children of aristocratic families account for less than 20% of the scholarly families. Most of the remaining people are from poor families, and some are even originally poor. But for more than ten years, these people have gone from nothing to the power-ruling class of the Northern Tang Dynasty through their own efforts. This will attract countless people and inspire countless people to take them as examples."

"This is the truth!" Wang said again.

"Look at us again!" Xiang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Look at how many of our current imperial courts are from poor families? Even in our army, those who hold military power are also nobles and generals? Those soldiers are extremely up to the level of sentry officers, and it will be difficult for them to move upward."

"General, what are you going to say?" Wang looked at Xiang Zhen again in confusion.

"My father said that our Southern Alliance needs unity to resist Li Ze. But, are we really united?" Xiang Zhen ignored Wang You and continued: "In the battle of E Yue, Qian Wenzhong refused to send troops, and Ding Taiyi refused to send troops. They all thought about their own acre of land and their own little interests. I was soft-hearted at that time. If I had made a quick decision to seize Qian Wenzhong's military power and even directly abolished his position as the Jiangxi Observer, with our troops in Jiangxi at that time, could he make waves? If I ignored Liu Xinda at that time, and directly led the army to Hunan, pulled out Ding Taiyi, swallowed their troops, and turned around and fought with Shi Zhuang again, would I lose so badly? Even if E Yue was thrown away because of this, the overall situation would be much better than now."

The king was startled again: "General, but in this case, I am afraid that Rong Guan, Gui Guan, Qiannan, and Fujian will die and will collectively oppose us."

"Before the army, any verbal opposition is pale and powerless." Xiang Zhen said coldly: "We need to change."

Wang looked at Xiang Zhen again, and his heart was thrilled.

"General, what are you going to do?"

Xiang Zhen pushed a stack of letters on the table to him: "This is a letter I wrote to some people. Look, and then take them out and send them to their hands secretly one by one."

Wang opened one of the letters. Before he could finish reading them, he was already trembling and couldn't sit still.
Chapter completed!
