Li Wei and Gu Jinzhi exchanged glances, and each of them could read a hint of heaviness in the other's eyes.
They had previously calculated...
Li Wei flew directly to Fengzhou. It was not difficult to eliminate the high-ranking bandits. One day was enough.
But the bandits were not limited to the one under Fengzhou City, their influence almost spread throughout the four provinces of the Central Plains.
Xu Yuncheng's strategy of suppressing bandits with a net set up in ten directions and in four directions and six corners was declared bankrupt because of one flaw.
Now, many bandits have sneaked into neighboring provinces, and the situation is almost out of control.
In order to completely stabilize the Central Plains, Li Wei used all her strength to put out fires everywhere and defeated all the bandits.
But, we can't kill all the millions of bandits and the people they have taken hostage, right?
As for screening, Li Wei alone cannot do it.
Therefore, taking into account the time she had to wait for officers and soldiers to gather the surrendered soldiers and prevent the main force from disintegrating and turning into stragglers to cause harm to the local area, even if she compressed the time, she would still have to leave Yujing for more than two months.
The past two months have been the time when the Northeastern barbarians like to go south to plunder.
In the past two years, the barbarians have had no time to enter the pass due to the internal changes in imperial power.
But this year, secret reports submitted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard showed that the new barbarian emperor had already firmly established himself on the throne.
This year, they will certainly raise troops again and invade the capital area.
If Li Wei happened to be away from the capital when the barbarians invaded, and the capital's military strength was so weak...
By then, all the achievements of the new policy will probably be wiped out.
Even more seriously, if some blind and powerful person had evil intentions and joined forces with the outside world, Yujing City might not be able to be defended.
Given the barbaric people's brutal nature of massacring cities at will, once they invade Yujing, the millions of people in this city...
Just thinking about it is chilling.
Li Wei's heart was raging, and her voice was also a little dry:
"How about we attack the outside first and then the inside? I'll go straight to the barbarians' Fengjing City and plow it up! After all, there's no need to worry about the aftermath after we finish dealing with them. I'll be back after the fight, it'll only take a day or two at most!"
When Duke Li heard his daughter's earth-shattering words, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
When did that group of "invincible" barbarians become the radishes and cabbages in the fields that could be plowed at will?
No wonder my daughter was able to subjugate the entire Yujing and bring those civil servants of the imperial court into obedience...
With this kind of domineering aura, even the current emperor Taizu cannot compare with her.
Zeng Yi, standing nearby, reacted quickly. After hearing Li Wei's thoughts, he immediately bowed and shouted in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful! Unifying the world is just around the corner!"
When Gu Jinzhi heard this, his eyes lit up.
This time, he was getting stuck in a rut.
Previously, we only thought about "pacifying the country before fighting the enemy", but we ignored the fact that pacifying the country requires a long period of post-war recovery and local stability.
It is time-consuming, manpower-intensive and material-intensive.
But dealing with foreign enemies is much simpler and more direct.
Li Wei only needs to fly over Fengjing and send a few sword energies towards their palace, barracks, and the residences of the powerful. It seems that they will not have the leisure to go south to plunder in the short term.
Bang!
Gu Jinzhi slammed his right fist onto his left palm and said in a deep voice:
"Okay! Let's do it this way, first the outside and then the inside! It's just a pity, I was originally thinking of using the blood of the barbarians to recruit the arrogant and powerful generals of the Floating Cloud Iron Cavalry."
Li Wei reached out and punched his chest gently, saying in a relaxed tone, "You're just overthinking things. There's no need to go through so many twists and turns to gather the troops. Just charge straight ahead!"
Gu Jinzhi was choked by her and was speechless for a moment.
Zeng Yi took advantage of every opportunity and flattered her: "May the Empress live forever! May your wisdom shine brightly!"
Li Wei was in a good mood and glanced at Duke Li, who was sweating and had a slight shiver.
She tutted her tongue twice and said, "I say... Dad... cough cough, you've become so fat, it's time to move around. Come on, let's take a walk on the city wall and help you lose some weight!"
Before she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked along the battlements.
Gu Jinzhi and Zeng Yi hurriedly caught up, and Duke Li also wiped his sweat and followed closely behind.
During this time, Duke Li's eyes kept moving back and forth between Gu Jinzhi and his own daughter.
He was a little confused. Why was the relationship between the emperor's son-in-law and his daughter so weird?
As she walked, Li Wei looked at the Beijing army that had already set up camp in the distance, stretching for several miles.
She felt that she would have new things to do in the future.
When the time comes, she will send the boys in the palace who have been "carefully trained" by her to serve as instructors.
The troops began to practice, and the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention" were sung loudly, coupled with the spiritual guidance she had just grasped...
I believe that before long, Jingying will also become like Li Wei.
Unlike Li Wei, Gu Jinzhi felt a little suffocated at the moment.
I tried to talk about government affairs twice today, but was interrupted unexpectedly both times.
He wanted to say something else, but seeing that Li Wei was in high spirits, he couldn't bear to disturb her.
However, when he thought of Lu Zhenyan and her gang, he felt a dull pain in his temples. Whenever he proposed a new reform measure, they would always ask in a roundabout way "whether the Queen knew about this."
He was very sure that "saving the impending Dajing Dynasty" was not as simple as simply eliminating internal and external enemies.
I think we should revitalize Dajing from the root.
Just like the several times when dynasties were revived in real history.
