Doomsday Code

Chapter 337 Military

Huidun looked at Chen Cheng with a very unpleasant expression and said:

"Do you think I really deserve to die? What the hell is this royal pressure? Can the royal pressure be redeemed by eradicating a royal scandal?"

Huidun then looked at Chen Cheng. At this moment, Chen Cheng could see the real determination to kill on his face.

"I need your help. I want to surpass them in economy, reputation, military and other aspects, even if it makes my father wary.

At worst, I will just do what you wrote in the book and purge the emperor's court."

Chen Cheng's eyelids jumped at Huidun's words, and he secretly cursed the eldest prince and his men for being stupid for using such despicable means.

He really hadn't thought about asking Huidun to raise an army or something like that. Although it was very effective, it was also the lowest form of means, and in the end it was the ordinary people of the kingdom who would suffer.

But when he saw Huidun's determined eyes and thought about the scenes in various places along the way of this competition, he really wanted to agree directly and let the Huidun City machine run quickly.

But in the end Chen Cheng calmed down and said:

"I can help you, but now is not the right time."

Chen Cheng's words undoubtedly poured cold water on Huidun's head.

When it comes to recognizing the potential of Huidun City, besides Chen Cheng, the only one who has any opinion on the city's potential is the Lord Huidun.

He knew very well that with the current development momentum of Huidun City, if it really worked at full capacity, he would be able to defeat all domestic forces in terms of economy alone.

"why?"

“You don’t have the support of the military. Many of the people in the stories I wrote to you failed, and the main reason for their failure was the military.

We are just a place. Even if everyone becomes a soldier and is equipped with new firearms, it is still a drop in the bucket for the kingdom.

We need a military ally, even if he won't betray the king to help us at the last minute, but we need him to stand aside and watch."

“But now, I can’t do any of this. Before the soldiers are fully trained, we will be surrounded by the Governor’s army.

And then there is no need to even talk about clearing the court.”

Chen Cheng's analysis is very reasonable. The Seven Kings of the Western Han Dynasty were the first to propose the idea of clearing the court of corrupt officials. The main reason why they failed was that they relied on one place to confront the central government.

The population and wealth of one place could not possibly compare to that of the central government. In the end, the seven kings fell apart under external pressure from the central government and internal conflicts, and the attempt to purge the court failed.

Zhu, who successfully led the Fengtian Jingnan Campaign, and Li, who flexibly applied the Xuanwu Gate Succession Law, both had military backgrounds.

Especially Li, it can be said that he was the one with the highest military merit in the empire at that time, so after the Xuanwu Gate Succession Law, there was no military unrest.

Although Zhu was not as strong as Li, he also had military prestige and obtained powerful border troops from other vassal kings. With his own bravery, he finally succeeded in taking control of the central government.

Huidun’s current situation is similar. The only thing he lacks now is the military. If there are military figures who can support him, then Chen Cheng is still very confident about this.

After hearing Chen Cheng's explanation, Huidun calmed down.

His only weakness now is the military, which is a problem he cannot avoid.

No matter how wealthy his Huidun City is, without strong military support, it will end up being a favor to others.

"Then do you have any good ideas?"

Huidun could only come to ask Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng thought for a while and said:

"There's no rush for this. I wonder if you, Count, have received an invitation to explore the ruins?"

Huidun didn't know why Chen Cheng asked this. He did receive an invitation, and the time was after March.

Huidun took out his token and answered Chen Cheng:

"This is the invitation token. Why are you asking this?"

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows and said:

"Nothing. It's just about whether you can get the support of Mo Duo Ni Ke, a powerful figure in the military this time."

"The person leading the team this time is Mo Duonik, and during this period of competition, I have also gotten to know this Governor General a little better. He may be able to help us."

After hearing this, Huidun frowned and said:

"How is this possible? He is one of the people that father trusts the most. He will never betray father."

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said:

“Please make one thing clear, Count, we are not going to oppose His Majesty.

Even if we really launch an uprising to purge the emperor's court, our goal is still to purge the emperor's court and eliminate those beasts who have lost their humanity and murdered their younger brothers.

We are not planning to go against Your Majesty and drive Him off the throne."

Chen Cheng needs Huidun to recognize this, even if it is fake, but Huidun must take it seriously and make it more real than the real thing.

Huidun adjusted his thoughts and said:

"That's fine, but Mordornik has no position between us. His position is that of our father. How can he help us?"

Chen Cheng smiled mysteriously and said:

“It’s a relief that he has no stance between you brothers. After the last disaster beast tide, he has become your side with the eldest prince and his men.

And his position in his heart is His Majesty, so you just need to let him know that everything you do is for His Majesty."

As Chen Cheng said this, a smile of success appeared on his face.

Afterwards, Chen Cheng gave Huidun a long talk about the future code of conduct, and the general meaning was to accept all the national policies formulated by Moss XIII on the surface.

Especially since he now has banks and exchanges, this has already invisibly catered to the current national policy of internal development.

Then the bank and the exchange would have to open branches in Kurkos so that Mondonik could see the role they played in the local economic development.

At the same time, some contraction and adjustments must be made in business during this period, so that the eldest prince and his men can jump out and let everyone see that not only do they not support the national policy, but they also want to disrupt it.

After hearing this, Huidun was a little surprised and said:

"that's it?"

"that's it."

“These are enough. Let the Governor-General have a taste of the sweetness first, and then let him know the attitude of the Grand Prince and his men towards the current national policy.

As for the rest, we don't need to do much. The Governor himself naturally knows the character of the Crown Prince and his men.

Do you think a loyal person like the Governor-General would want a successor like this, a prince who always opposes His Majesty and then gets close to other organizations?"

Chen Cheng was completely taking advantage of Mo Donik's loyalty, but he was also glad that Mo Donik was not a blindly loyal person.

Huidun then thought about it carefully, and felt that the guy in front of him was really scheming.

Although outsiders thought that his father was a foolish man who had lost the ambition to make progress, he actually changed the national policy to internal development.

But only after he developed the economy during this period did he understand his father's deep intentions.

If the kingdom continues to wage foreign wars as it did before, it will become increasingly poor and weak, and may soon be destroyed.

But now the kingdom has turned to internal development. Although there are many obstacles from old forces, the results of this development are visible in the fullness of the national treasury.

Each of these trusted generals chosen by my father is not only a talented military commander, but also has certain abilities in governing the local area.

It can be said that if these people loyal to Moss XIII had not served as governors in local areas, this new national policy reform would definitely not have any effect.

And now Chen Cheng took advantage of this and made Mondonik become his side invisibly.
