Northern Borderline.
In the meeting hall.
At this moment, many high-ranking officials of the Northern Borderline were gathered here. The administrative and military personnel in Feather County were all gathered here.
"Everyone already knows about the news of ceding territory, right?”Lin Qing Yu asked.
"Lord Marquis, what should have come has finally come. I'm afraid that this person has ill intentions! Our Northern Borderline has sufficient defensive forces against the barbarians and demons, but we're almost defenseless against the Tianwu Dynasty.”Black God General Li Feng said sternly,"
"If we go against the Tianwu Dynasty and fall out with the imperial court, it will be very difficult. The northern border is difficult for the Tianwu Dynasty to defend and easy to attack.”
"That's not the main point." Fang Rui said calmly," With our Northern Battlefront Army's ability, we can quickly build defenses once we fall out with them. Many of our generals are also experienced in battle. It's not difficult for us to fight against the Tianwu Dynasty. Our biggest weakness is not here.”
"Advisor Jun is right." Lin Qing Yu nodded." In terms of military strength and armaments, our Northern Borderline is not afraid. Even if we are attacked from both sides, with your strength, we can deal with it with ease. The key is…the economy and trade!”
The Prefectural Governor of Feather County stood out."Lord Marquis is right. If the Tianwu Dynasty blocks the trade and economy of the northern border, it will be a heavy blow to us!
Although we've been trying our best to reclaim wasteland in recent years, the grain production in the northern border is very low. Although the silk, tea, and porcelain industries are prosperous, most of the raw materials come from the Central Plains. Although the animal husbandry, mining, fruit, and clothing industries in the northern border are the pillar industries, they are quite dependent on export…"
"Lord Marquis, although the people of the northern borders are willing to tighten our belts, if we fall out with the Tianwu Dynasty, our economy will go back by at least ten years.”Li Cang was also a little anxious.
"Lord Marquis, I have a plan! But to ensure that the trade and economy of the northern borders remain stable, Lord Marquis only needs to make up his mind!”Fang Rui suddenly said.
Lin Qing Yu's knocking on the table stopped for a moment.
"Speak."
"Lord Marquis, I believe you already understand what I want to say.”" The economy and trade of our Northern Borderline are quite dependent on Zhongzhou," said Fang Rui." In order to prevent the trade of the Northern Borderline from being hit and regressing, I suggest taking down Zhongzhou!" "As long as we take down Zhongzhou, the industrial chain of our northern border and Zhongzhou will be combined to form a perfect internal circulation system.”
"We have signed a twenty-year treaty of friendship with the Central Plains. Do you want Lord Marquis to be a traitor? "This is detrimental to Lord Marquis 'reputation…" Uncle Wang frowned."Our Northern Borderline is founded on integrity and believes in justice. If we rashly take down the Central Plains, it might contradict our beliefs.”
"That's right, I disagree! "The Central Plains did not declare war on us, and we have always been allies. Before we become enemies, I will never agree to a surprise attack on the Central Plains!”"Honesty, justice, fairness, and freedom are the core values of our army. We must not break this concept!" Li Feng suddenly said.”
"That's right. If we launch a surprise attack on the Central Plains for the sake of benefits, although we can obtain short-term benefits, ask ourselves, will our army's soul still be stable? Taking down the middle state like this would probably leave behind hidden dangers.”Li Cang nodded.
"Not bad!" " Of course!" Uncle Wang nodded." We were able to purge the northern border not because of our strength, but because of our military spirit!" The reason why we can make the Barbarian Demons fear us isn't purely because of our martial strength, but because of our military spirit!”
"Everyone, I know…but taking down the Central Plains is extremely important to us. To the people of the northern border, this is justice!”Fang Rui continued to argue.
"Enough."
"I won't give the order to attack the Central Plains before they fall out with us.”
" But…" Fang Rui hesitated.
"Fang Rui, have you fallen into a misunderstanding? Who said that the Central Plains would definitely stand with the Tianwu Dynasty to deal with our Northern Borderline?”
Fang Rui was stunned.
"Is it because the Central Plains belongs to the Tianwu Dynasty? Our Northern Borderline is now also under the Tianwu Dynasty!”"We rely on the Central Plains, and the Central Plains also depends on our Northern Borderline! We're working together for a win-win situation. Is the Central Prefecture Marquis really prepared to pay the price of becoming enemies with us?”
Fang Rui was enlightened.
"I understand now! Lord Marquis is wise!"
"Fang Rui, hand over the visiting card to the Central Prefecture Marquis!”"I have to have a good talk with him in order to prevent the Marquis of the Central Prefecture from being muddle-headed.”
