Chapter 80: Fangs These few words made Zhu Chongjiu's heart skip a beat.
Su Mingzhe was absolutely right, he really didn't want to go to war with the world's heroes.
Because deep down in his heart, he always felt that these people could lead everyone to resist the Mongolian rule, which was a great achievement.
It is a huge tragedy that these heroes did not die under the sword of the Mongols, but in the end they all died in the hands of Zhu Chongjiu.
Even if he finally succeeded in unifying the country and successfully drove the Mongolian and Yuan colonists back to Mobei, thinking about it in the dead of night, he would feel extremely guilty in his heart.
However, other people in the General Manager's Office would not see it this way, even though Zhu Chongjiu had followed Lu Shuang'er's suggestion and began to work hard to promote his own views and influence the people around him.
But the results were minimal.
Because in everyone's eyes, both Zhu Chongba and Zhang Shicheng were despicable people who relied on the support of the General Manager's Office and then betrayed their trust.
No one knows the glorious trajectories of these two guys in another time and space, so they are eager to cut them off while they are still young to avoid future troubles.
And the development of the situation has gradually proved that no matter how many concessions Huaiyang makes, it is impossible to get the goodwill of Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Chongba, Han Lin'er and others in return.
There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country.
After solving the biggest threat of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty, everyone is the destined enemy.
If Zhu Chongjiu insists on not letting these princes bleed, then the blood of everyone in the Grand Manager's Mansion will be shed for these princes.
Either you die or I live, and there is almost no possibility of a third option in between.
Everyone in Huaiyang, including Su Mingzhe, was unwilling to sit still and wait for death.
For Zhu Chongjiu's sake, they can choose to be patient for the time being.
But the end result of patience until the end is still a fight to the death.
This will not change at all because of Zhu Chongjiu's own kind thoughts.
The Jingzhou Treaty concocted by Wu Liangmou, Lu Deshan and others undoubtedly opened a narrow gap between the two choices of "life or death".
Although it is still unclear whether this gap will eventually become a third way, but at least he gave everyone a hope.
One that can prevent other heroes from dying at the hands of the Huai'an Army, and will not delay the Huai'an Army's hope of unifying the world in the future.
Of course, the final result is still very far from what Zhu Chongjiu always preached.
But at least it can satisfy some of his ideas, so that he won't be depressed to death, or abandon everyone and return to the mountains and forests with anger.
"My lord, do you remember what Zhu Chongba said when we first wanted to meet him?"
Seeing Zhu Chongjiu's expression changing, Su Mingzhe considered it for a moment and continued to advise carefully.
"At that time, he felt that we were too cautious, and even some of the rich people were ignorant.
Although he said it tactfully, it made the old minister very angry."
"Of course I remember.
If it weren't for his reminder, we wouldn't have led the troops south so quickly."
Zhu Chongjiu's thoughts were quickly brought back to reality, and he nodded with a smile.
"So Zhu did not misjudge him after all.
Although this guy's character is not very good, his vision and knowledge are first-class."
"Since then, I have never dared to underestimate him."
Su Mingzhe also nodded and added with a smile, "So the veteran has been wondering recently whether our Grand Manager's Office will repeat the same mistakes of the past."
"You mean, we shouldn't rest and recuperate."
Zhu Chongjiu was stunned for a moment, and quickly frowned, "This was a decision that was made after repeated planning in the meeting hall.
At that time, you didn't say anything against it."
"Old Minister, I really have no objections."
Su Mingzhe continued to smile and nodded, "We in Huaiyang cannot become fat with one bite, so it is most appropriate to work slowly and steadily.
But if someone is willing to pay and provide food, why not let the Huai'an army go out to sharpen it more?
After all, we are just immersed in hard work.
You can't train a good soldier.
It's just a mule or a horse.
Sooner or later it has to be taken out for a walk."
"You mean to let Jingzhou pay for the military resources and use war instead of training?"

Zhu Chongjiu frowned again and asked hesitantly.
Affected by Zhu Dapeng's memory, his development idea has always been "farm land, mine, and expand troops, then farm land, mine, and expand troops."
So every time after a big expansion, I instinctively want to stop and repeat the routine of the previous round.
Today, Su Mingzhe spoke softly to me, and I immediately realized the possible problems.
"My lord is wise."
Su Mingzhe immediately gave a thumbs up and patted him, "I know that my lord will see this sooner or later.
Although that boy Wu Youtu is reckless, his heart is all towards our Huaiyang.
Let Xu Shouhui and After Monk Peng and the others have paid out the money and food, we will send troops and horses to Jingzhou to participate in the war anyway.
Even if the war occasionally goes wrong, it will not affect this side."
"Yeah" Zhu Chongjiu's eyebrows twitched, his face full of surprise.
Accepting the lesson from the severe shortage of troops in the last battle with Tuotuo, the Huai'an army has been continuously expanding in the past six months or so.
Excluding Wang Xuan's Sixth Army and Wang Kerou's Seventh Army, the other five main forces currently have as many as six brigades of full-time soldiers in each army.
Thirty brigades, more than 100,000 strong men whose occupation is solely fighting.
Just counting the food and drink every day, it is an extremely terrifying figure.
Fortunately, the salt tax and commercial tax collected by the Huaiyang General Manager's Office every year are astonishing, and many businesses in Huaiyang are profitable.
Otherwise, Zhu Chongjiu would not be able to support this behemoth with just the small harvest in the fields.
However, although the number of soldiers and horses has been rapidly expanded, their combat effectiveness is still unknown.
Unlike back then, Zhu Chongjiu, the general manager, could go down in person and point fingers at every brother.
He has no time to go down to the front line now, and the current scale of Huaiyang General Manager does not allow him to do everything as he did back then.
Therefore, how to ensure the combat effectiveness of soldiers and horses while recharging their strength has become a difficult problem.
Zhu Chongjiu couldn't find a proper solution, but he didn't expect that Su Mingzhe, who everyone thought was a dead man, would come to his door with the answer.
"I believe that Wu Liangmou's alliance does not pay enough attention to Jingzhou."
Su Mingzhe's voice suddenly became louder as he repeatedly glanced at Zhu Chongjiu's face.
"If my lord feels aggrieved by Xu Shouhui, you might as well send all six brigades of the Fifth Army to help Jingzhou regain its lost territory as soon as possible.
If conditions permit, you can even help Jingzhou expand outward.
When the Fifth Army is exhausted, , just send out the Third Army.
When the Third Army becomes exhausted again, it’s time to finish the reorganization of the Seventh Army
