"What do you mean?" Tang Yin stared at Qiu Zhen and asked.
Qiu Zhen said: "Most of our local officials are military generals, and are good at leading troops into battle. Their ways of doing things are also swift and decisive, and the moment signs of rebellion appear within our jurisdiction, they will immediately send troops to suppress them. So, although the citizens of other nations who have been merged into the Feng Country hate us, they are also afraid of us and do not dare to rebel against us. "Now, the King has replaced the generals who have been on the battlefield for years with officials who have never fought a war with him. It is likely that there will be rebellion everywhere and the whole country will fall into internal strife!"
"If this is true, the imperial government will directly dispatch troops to suppress them!" Tang Yin said in a serious tone: "Greedy officials, the root of the calamity for the nation and the people, perhaps they can stabilize the situation of our country in a short period of time, but if this goes on, the foundation of our nation will be shaken by them, and they will not be able to keep us alive. Longer pain is less painful than shorter pain. For this matter, I have already decided. I will not make any changes, and you all do not need to persuade me anymore. "
"Great King ? ?" Qiu Zhen still wanted to continue to persuade him, but Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted him, muttering: "Your worries are reasonable, I had forgotten about this before."
He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Ah San, immediately send someone to summon Peng Haochu, Nan Ye, Zuo Shuang, Qi Heng, and Nan Yan to see me."
"Yes!" "Great King!" Ah San replied to both of them. Then, she passed Tang Yin's order down.
Right now, the generals had yet to leave the palace, and not long after Tang Yin's order was passed down, the five people hastily rushed to the study room. After they saw Tang Yin, the five of them bowed together. Tang Yin waved his hand, signalling for them to not be overly courteous, and then shouted anxiously: "Haocheng!"
"This lowly general is here!" Peng Haochu stepped forward, and interfered with the greeting.
"Immediately bring your Chifeng Army back to the Feng Country. If there is any rebellion, annihilate them. We will not spare you!"
"This lowly general obeys your command!"
"Zuo Shuang, Nan Ye!"
"This lowly general is here!" Zuo Shuang and Nan Ye stepped forward.
"The two of you will immediately lead Feilong Army and Huwei Army to the Ning Country. Zuo Shuang will be in charge of the eight counties of Ning Bei. Nan Ye will be in charge of the eight counties of Ning Nan City.
"This lowly general obeys your command!"
"Qi Heng, Nan Yan!"
"This lowly general is here!"
"You two are responsible for the safety of the Mo Country, especially Nan Yan, you have the fastest speed. I want you to lead the entire army and prepare to send out troops at any time, the moment there is a rebellion in the Mo Country, give me the first chance to send it over! Do not show mercy just because the other party is a man, because today, we cannot put an end to the rebellion, and in the future, it will be endless, with no peace at all, and at that time, there will be even more Mo people who will die, do you understand?
Nan Yan's expression became serious, and interfered: "Great King, do not worry, towards traitors, this general will not be merciful, and will definitely make an example of this!"
"Very good!" Tang Yin nodded in satisfaction, he looked around at the generals and said: "As long as all of you are willing to do your best, even if there is a rebellion, it will soon subside. "Remember, after you leave, you will represent the imperial government. Your actions will also represent the determination of the imperial government and this king."
"This lowly general understands!" All the generals interfered and saluted.
"Yes!" Tang Yin immediately looked at Qiu Zhen and asked: "Qiu Zhen, what do you think about this arrangement?"
Qiu Zhen laughed helplessly and said: "Your majesty, prepare for a rainy day. With such an arrangement, it can't be better.
He could see that the King was determined to change officials. When the King had made such a decision, no matter what she said, it would be of no use, and she would not be able to change the King's mind.
Furthermore, from Qiu Zhen's point of view, the King's actions were not a fundamental matter of principle, he did not need to argue with him, and did not even hesitate to fall out with the King. Of course, there were still dangers, but with the strong military power of the Feng Country, suppressing a trifling rebellion was not a difficult matter.
Seeing that Qiu Zhen gave in in in the end, Tang Yin was quite happy and pleased. He clapped his hands and laughed: "Looks like everyone has no objections.
"The King is wise!" No one could change Tang Yin's decision, and they could only follow what he said.
This night, Tang Yin's banquet at the palace caused a huge commotion in the entire Feng Country. The heads of the various counties and counties were replaced, and even a series of chain reactions occurred.
As the new officials took up their posts, they immediately began changing the officials in the counties and counties, as well as the various Mayor s under their jurisdiction. It was as the saying went, "The emperor has his son, the emperor has his official seat", and so did the local officials.
No matter who it was, they all hoped that the people below would be their trusted aides and trusted aides!
Moreover, most of those officials and Mayor s relied on gold and silver to buy official positions. If one did not have the ability to learn and did not have the ability to learn, how could the newly appointed and County Commanders look at these mediocre people?
In addition, their positions were only temporary and weren't stable. People all wanted to show their accomplishments to the king and the imperial court as soon as possible, prove their abilities, and remove the word 'temporary' from their positions.1
It could be said that Tang Yin's actions had changed the chaotic and miasmatic atmosphere around Feng Country into something new overnight. Of course, chaos followed suit.
Qiu Zhen's concern was not wrong. The Feng Country was expanding at such a rapid pace, but the situation in every region was also very stable. A large portion of the situation depended on the County Head s and county commanders who had moved from the military to the local government.
Each of them was adept at using troops, and they acted without hesitation and decisively. As soon as a rebellion appeared within their jurisdiction, they would immediately lead their troops to encircle and annihilate it, using their brutal and bloody wrists to suppress it.
Now that the new officials were taking up their posts and changing their subordinates without restraint, the local officials were in a state of chaos. This allowed those who were dissatisfied and resentful of the Wind Nation to see an opportunity to do so.
In the following month, over a hundred rebellions appeared in every corner of the Feng Country. In some places, just within a single county, there were already three or four rebel forces that appeared at the same time.
In this one month's time, I can make Feng Country go to the back of my head, run around, and feel tired, more tired than fighting in an enemy country.
Feng Country was the basis of all kinds of Feng Country. To an old man like him, no matter who became the County Head or the capital of a county, it did not matter to them who became the ruler;
It was fortunate that there were a lot of Feng Country garrisoned in the army. Other than the Sanshui Army fought in the western part of the Huan Country, there were also Battle-tested Army and Heavenly Eagle Army, as well as Pingyuan Army that were later sent over. These were all the most elite Central Army legions.
As for Ning Country and rebellion, there were quite a few of them but relatively speaking, they were not large in scale. Moreover, many of them were not even considered to be rebel forces, and it would be better to say that they were a group of people with ulterior motives who wanted to seize the opportunity to make a profit.
They were acting in the name of defying the will of the wind, but they were acting as bandits and robbing their homes, robbing the wealth of the citizens, killing and arson, robbing and committing all sorts of crimes. Their ways of doing things were even more barbaric than the barbaric Feng Army back then.
These rebel forces that took advantage of the chaos did not have the support of the local people at all. Instead, they hated them to the bones, so naturally, they would not be able to create a climate for themselves.
As Tang Yin sat in the palace, every day, he would see urgent reports from various places. As for the degree of chaos in every place around the Feng Country, he was completely clueless about it.
On this day, Cai Gui came to see Tang Yin, and reported to him about Li Meier's situation at Ann Country.
It had been a few months since Li Meier was sent to the Ann Country, and just as Tang Yin wanted to ask Cai Gui about this matter, he took the initiative and came over.
He asked, "How is she doing at the Ann Country?"
Cai Gui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, everything went smoothly, but ?"
"But what?" Tang Yin said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it!"
"However, things are progressing too smoothly, far beyond what I had expected." Cai Gui said, looking troubled.
"It went too smoothly? Isn't that a good thing? " Tang Yin was happy, he lightly waved his fan and laughed as he looked at him.
Cai Gui laughed bitterly: "Being too successful might not be a good thing."
He swallowed his saliva and said: "Yue Xin fell in love with Meier at first sight and is extremely infatuated with him. She has now adopted Meier as her wife, if not for Meier's strong objections, I'm afraid that Yue Xin would have already taken her as his concubine."
"Oh!" Tang Yin blinked his eyes, he did not feel that there was anything bad about it.
Cai Gui continued to speak, "At first, this humble subject only wanted Meier to be Yue Xin's concubine. This way, in the future, even if An Wang wants to get hold of her, she won't have much reservations, but it would give us a very good reason to send troops.
So that's how it was! Only now did Tang Yin understand why Cai Gui said that it was not necessarily a good thing for things to go so smoothly.
He pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter can't be too forceful. Even if we only let her stay by our side, it's still a good thing. At the very least, through that trust, we can obtain a lot of important information regarding the Ann Country."
"However, this is far from what this humble subject originally planned." Cai Gui frowned, and shook his head.
Tang Yin laughed and comforted him: "No need to worry about this, you have already done very well with this matter." At least it was beyond his expectations. It was not that easy to force a person into the side of a country's young master, and even make him become his wife.
From his point of view, Cai Gui's power was like a bottomless pit.
He changed the topic and asked, "Ever since there were so many changes in the local officials, most of the reports that were sent over were about the rebellion. Tell me, how is the situation with Ning Country?"
