Kai Fu Han

Chapter 461
When he received news of the "big event" by Chongchang, Liu Xinqi sailed on the Lushan in the East China Sea and headed for Jeju Island.

August [-]th.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival for family reunion, but Liu Xinqi had to embark on a long trip again.

He had broken his promise to his wife Zhou Yue that he would stay at home for a while after the invasion of the west.

The information came from "Golden Coin". After many trainings, the only golden eagle that could find our own ship in the vast sea and accurately transmit the message was "Golden Coin".

Liu Xinqi understood that it was due to the strategic attribute attached to the high-star general card.

In the future, the task of sending messages at sea will become more and more heavy. Liu Xinqi is already considering whether to take out a few four-star cards and assign them to Eagle's Nest.

However, considering that the added strategic attributes of the four-star card might have a greater positive effect on scientific research, I was still hesitant to make a decision.

Passing the information in his hand to Cui Wu, Cui Wu quickly read it and commented: "It disrupted the alliance's plan by making arbitrary decisions."

Liu Xinqi shook his head: "It is true that he is good at making opinions, but it does not disrupt the alliance's plan."

"Oh?" Cui Wu, as the head of the regiment and a high-ranking military officer, is very familiar with the strategic planning of the Xinghan League.

After the Xinghan Alliance's westward attack strategy, they then kept a low profile and then implemented a strategy around the Bohai Sea. They would not continue to expand the territory of the east and west roads of Beijing to the west to avoid irritating the south and being attacked by a group.

"Chongchang got it right this time," Liu Xinqi explained: "I have been unable to decide how to deal with the relationship between Xinghan League and Nanzhao. Chongchang has given me a solution."

The Xinghan League and Southern Zhao still have a nominal "subordinate" relationship. After intense discussions, Southern Zhao finally dared not send troops northward, and it was even more impossible to send officials northward. No one wanted to die in vain by going northward.

"Chongchang secretly funded the uprising. Is this a mistake?" Cui Wu didn't understand.

Chongchang's report to the alliance afterwards was very detailed.

This uprising obviously did not have the power to revive the Han League. All the big leaders in the rebel army were ordinary people and there were no soldiers.

The Diting soldiers in Jiyin County were only helping secretly.

Chongchang also said his plan would continue to develop westward or southward.Steal money from wealthy businessmen, gentry, and big landowners to buy weapons, equipment, and food in the Xinghan League.

"Chongchang's doing this has many benefits for the revitalization of the Han League." Liu Xinqi continued to explain:

"First of all, we nominally belong to the Nanzhao court. If we go to war with the Nanzhao court for no reason, it is rebellion. So far, the Nanzhao court has not provoked us, so we have no excuse. With Chongchang made As a rebel, you can do a lot of things.”

"Secondly, the Xinghan League has restrictions under the Land Law. If the gentry and landlords do not break the law, if we want to take back the land in their hands, we have to buy it with money. Only the two states of Denglai are okay. This time, Jingdong East Road, West The reclamation of cultivated land in Luliang Road has already put some financial pressure on the finances. If the scale is larger in the future, the finances will not be able to support it."

Liu Xinqi was too benevolent in the past and did not openly rob, but now he has caused problems for the Xinghan League.

This time I personally went to Japan to expand trade with Japan.

"Again, wherever the rebels went, order was broken. Wouldn't it be easier for us to take over after the Xinghan Alliance and draw on a blank sheet of paper?"

"That's true." Cui Wu nodded in agreement.

"In the end, Chongchang secretly funded the establishment of the 'Rebel Army' organization this time, showing the Xinghan League a way to handle relations with neighboring countries, which can be used for reference in the future." Liu Xinqi finally said.

In later generations, the United States funded opposition groups around the world, spread "liberal" ideas, and made people in many countries miserable. It then sought benefits from it and attacked its enemies.Chongchang's actions this time were similar to those of the United States in later generations. "So, this time Chongchang did such a big thing privately, but he has no merit?" Cui Wu still couldn't believe it. Chaos, isn’t it supported by experience?
And not everyone has Chongchang's talents.If this kind of plan succeeds, it will be easy to say, but if it fails, it will be very miserable.

"It's not without fault." Liu Xin said.

"I'll just say it."

"He created chaos in a local area without authorization, causing large-scale casualties to local people. This is the biggest mistake." Liu Xinqi said.

After all, the Xinghan League is not the United States, and there will be no democracy or inhumanity.

During the westward advance strategy, Liu Xinqi always urged his generals to control casualties and avoid killings.Even against the enemy, he chooses a victory strategy that involves killing fewer enemies.

However, Chongchang's heartbeat in Jiyin County this time caused the death toll of defenders, rebels, reinforcements, local people, gentry, and wealthy businessmen to exceed 5000.

It can be said that there is not much difference with the total casualties caused by the entire westward strategy.

"Then what do you plan to do with him?" Cui Wu asked.

"Gong is merit, fault is fault, merit and fault are not equal, I have to think carefully about how to deal with him." Liu Xinqi sighed, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

It is difficult to balance the merits and demerits.

But if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. Only by clear rewards and punishments can you effectively manage your subordinates.

Finally, after careful consideration, Liu Xinqi decided to shelve the matter for the time being, without reporting, praising or punishing him. The external propaganda was an uprising organized by Mr. Xiao and had nothing to do with the Xinghan League. The same was true for internal propaganda.

Chongchang's role in it is only known to those within the scope of work needs.

He wrote back to Chongchang, asking him to continue to implement his own strategy, and Di Ting headquarters would send him additional manpower, and he would not be rewarded or punished for his unauthorized actions since then, and he would decide how to deal with it after the dust settled in the future.

This result is generally rewarded for Chongchang.

With this action in hand, Diting has also sent additional manpower. He will have many great plans in the future, and he will naturally earn back all the rewards he did not get this time.

In his reply letter, Liu Xinqi also reprimanded Chongchang, saying that the casualties caused were too serious and should be avoided in the future. If the problem can be solved without killing people, try not to kill people to solve it.You can make money if you spend money, but you will suffer big losses if you lose people.

Do not consider morality, only talk about benefits: people are productive forces, and it takes 20 years or more to cultivate a labor force.

If this labor is easily destroyed by a small blade, it is really the biggest waste in the world.

Therefore, Liu Xinqi has always adhered to the "people-oriented" strategy. As long as he is not incurable or the crime is extremely heinous, he will basically be sentenced to forced labor and used as waste.

Chongchang directly caused the death of thousands of people this time, which made Liu Xinqi very sad.

If he had written to the alliance to ask for instructions before taking action, he would definitely have a better way and the casualties would be minimized.It's a pity that he is good at making opinions, which makes Liu Xinqi unable to reward him.

Not removing him from his post would be a sign of disrespect for his talent.
