Ch 330: Eastern Border Strategy
Mo Yunxuan looked at Empress Ji Ruxue with a shocked expression, his eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty, even stopping the nonsense he was about to say.
He really couldn’t imagine that such insightful words could come from the person in front of him?
When did Ji Ruxue become so capable?
Could it be that she had been secretly hiding her abilities all along?
Or had she recently gone somewhere to improve herself?
A flood of questions appeared in Mo Yunxuan’s mind, leaving him momentarily stunned.
“Are you thinking about something bad?”
Ji Ruxue looked at Mo Yunxuan’s expression and questioned him through Sound Transmission.
Her gaze was as if she were looking at trash, almost causing Mo Yunxuan to explode.
Good heavens!
You were the one spouting wild and shocking words, and now you’re the one disgusted with me.
You’re playing all the good roles, aren’t you!
“Yes, yes, yes, I’m always thinking about bad things. I was even thinking of taking you on the next adventure!”
Mo Yunxuan casually retorted, but Ji Ruxue immediately seized the opportunity.
“Come on then! If you don’t take me with you, don’t blame me for looking down on you!”
“Hiss!!!”
Mo Yunxuan looked at Ji Ruxue’s triumphant smile with shock, and said in disbelief:
“You’re setting me up?”
“No way, how could I, impossible!”
Ji Ruxue shrugged her shoulders, directly denying it.
But her gleeful expression made Mo Yunxuan realize that he had really been tricked.
Mo Yunxuan simply avoided the topic and switched to something else.
“Your Majesty, the Eastern Border has now been completely pacified, but the powers are chaotic, warlords are everywhere, there is no unified command system, and the strength of the armies in the hands of the various noble families is uneven.”
“During this war, apart from a few noble families whose armies often had the opportunity to fight with the Three Kingdoms neighboring the Eastern Border, most of them were just flashy but useless.”
Ji Ruxue looked at Mo Yunxuan, who was seriously changing the subject, and didn’t expose him.
To be honest, she had only said those words just now while holding her breath.
If Mo Yunxuan really came over in the middle of the night to take her on an adventure, she really wouldn’t dare to go.
Now that Mo Yunxuan took the initiative to skip this topic, Ji Ruxue was naturally happy to do so.
If she really pushed Mo Yunxuan too hard, then it would be her turn to be anxious.
“Then what does Duke Wei intend to do?”
Ji Ruxue’s expression became solemn, and she said in a deep voice.
“Your Majesty, your subject believes that we can imitate the Northern Border and Southern Border and support a great noble to preside over the overall situation, thereby achieving a unified main force, allowing the Eastern Border to free up more resources to focus on training the army.”
“Your subject believes that with the wealth of the Eastern Border, if it is properly cultivated in the future, it may have the strength comparable to two borders.”
Seeing that Ji Ruxue didn’t pursue the matter, Mo Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
This plan was Mo Yunxuan’s plan for a year later.
A year later, Mo Yunxuan would be able to get another 200 System Soldiers.
With the Hunting Squad’s efficiency, a year should be enough to upgrade all two hundred people to the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
And among the soldiers already possessed, the number of Body Integration Realm and Great Ascension Realm cultivators would further increase.
In addition, the Southern Conquest Army and Garrison Army that the Wei State Duke’s Mansion is currently constantly training in the Southern Border and Northern Border will also be completed by then.
At that time, the Wei State Duke’s Mansion would be fully capable of opening another map in the Eastern Border.
It’s just that in order not to let Ji Ruxue be idle all day long, he said it in advance.
“What about the local noble families? You should know the unspoken rules of the Great Qian Dynasty’s military affairs. I remember you used them when you first attended court.”
Ji Ruxue thought about Mo Yunxuan’s proposal and felt that it was indeed feasible.
However, it would not be an easy task to promote it, and the resistance would be great.
After all, everyone was doing well as local emperors on their own territory in the Eastern Border, and if you didn’t offend me, I wouldn’t offend you.
But if this proposal were to be implemented, it would definitely infringe on the interests of the noble families.
Not to mention the military power, just one point: everyone was free to be local emperors, but now suddenly a great noble was parachuted in to boss them around.
Who could stand that?
No one could stand that!
Ji Ruxue frowned, her eyes fixed on Mo Yunxuan, waiting for him to give an answer.
“They can keep the military authority if they are willing to keep it, there is no need to force it.”
“Our main purpose is to integrate the resources of the Eastern Border. This matter can be promoted slowly. After decades or hundreds of years, we can gradually have a base in the Eastern Border.”
“At that time, it will be much easier for us to completely bring the Eastern Border into our grasp.”
Mo Yunxuan spoke eloquently about his plan.
But in fact, his plan was not like this.
Mo Yunxuan planned that after a year, when the personnel were ready, he would directly seize the political and military power of the Eastern Border.
With the absolute difference in strength, any resistance would be meaningless.
Those who didn’t listen would be directly beaten to death, leaving only those who listened to be dogs.
Mo Yunxuan believed that he would definitely be able to harvest a large group of dogs, and by the way, plan a family planning for the Eastern Border.
And the plan he had just said was just to shut Ji Ruxue up, and he didn’t even think about implementing it.
Mo Yunxuan didn’t have Ji Ruxue’s patience to wait for such a long plan to unfold, and the risks in the middle would be uncontrollable, so it would be better to be straightforward and give the Eastern Border a quick solution.
Directly take them as dogs, and he believed no one would object.
Ji Ruxue didn’t know what Mo Yunxuan was thinking, and after listening, she only felt that it was indeed a good suggestion.
If Mo Yunxuan was still a loyal and good general of the Great Qian Dynasty, then the Imperial Family would gain this fertile land of the Eastern Border in a hundred years.
Even if the Imperial Family only took half of the Eastern Border’s income after distributing it with the local noble families and the Wei State Duke’s Mansion, it would still be a large amount of resources.
With this resource alone, Ji Ruxue was confident that she could double the number of Great Power of the Integration Realm in the Imperial Family, and the original Great Power of the Integration Realm would also be able to improve their cultivation even further.
Making the Great Qian Dynasty as stable as Mount Tai from then on, without any more turmoil!
However, unfortunately…
Ji Ruxue looked at the leisurely Mo Yunxuan in front of her, feeling helpless in her heart.
Unfortunately, such a treacherous official and freak like Mo Yunxuan appeared in reality!
Ning Xueqing was standing beside Ji Ruxue at this time, and she was completely dumbfounded.
Please, shouldn’t such important matters involving the military and political affairs of a country be brought up and discussed with all the ministers during the morning court?
Why were you two discussing everything so casually from beginning to end?
Ning Xueqing was completely dumbfounded. These two people were not as serious as she had imagined. Instead, it was like they were having a tea party, discussing which dessert was delicious and which tea was good.
Moreover, was this something that a small maid like her should be involved in?
Wouldn’t these two eventually want to silence her?
