Chapter 919: Conquering the world is difficult, ruling the world is even more difficult

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, several people's faces twitched involuntarily.

I have seen shameless people, I have never seen such shameless people!

Maybe Lou Yi was used as a snack by the barbarians, and he could still blame it on Lou Yi.

He is really not afraid that Lou Yi’s coffin will not be able to hold him down!

"My dear brother, if you push the blame on Lou Yi, the tribes in Moxi will have to believe it!"

Qin Qihu said with a helpless smile.

"Whether they believe it or not, we believe it anyway!"

Yun Zheng grinned, "Anyway, these people ran from Guifang to plunder the tribes in Moxi, not from Xing'an Fort or Sawtooth Ridge! We can take care of those prisoners, but can we take care of the defeated soldiers of Lou Yi's army?"

As long as they don't come openly, even if the Moxi tribes suspect them, they will not turn against them immediately.

For some things, even if everyone knows what happened, it's fine as long as it can be explained away for the sake of face.

After all, they don’t want to fight now, and neither do the tribes in western Mo!

The worst that can happen is that the tribes in western Mo will also use shady tricks!

If that's the case, they'll take it!

"You have completely defeated the tribes in the western desert."

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng with a smile and asked, "If these so-called bandits are brought together by someone with ulterior motives, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated. Aren't you afraid that they will turn around and deal with you?"

"I am not afraid of this small number of troops!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "If they dare to mess around, we must be prepared to have their entire family executed!"

This is also the reason why he chose those who have larger family members.

All of their families are in their hands.

If they had not acted recklessly and just robbed, they and their families might have lived a prosperous life.

If they dare to mess around, be prepared to have their families buried with them!

He believes that those people have their own scales on how to make choices.

"According to what Your Highness said, this is indeed a very good idea!"

Dugu Ce was pleasantly surprised. "However, I suggest that these bandits cannot all be surrendered soldiers from Dayue. There must also be some surrendered soldiers from Qiuchi. We can even let Mondo and Zulu send some people to participate..."

In short, we must not allow these bandits to become a united front.

This will make these people wary of each other and make it easier for them to control them.

"That's good advice!"

Yun Zheng nodded, "If this plan is feasible, the transportation of materials must also be strengthened..."

The looted materials must be delivered to the Northwest Protectorate as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of materials during transportation.

In addition, it can also create a competitive relationship between the bandits.

Let everyone compete secretly to see who can loot more supplies.

Speaking of secretly competing, Emperor Wen suddenly said: "When necessary, you can deliberately cultivate some smaller clans to help you stabilize and develop the Northwest Protectorate..."

When the time is right, we will take away the military power from these people.

But when it comes to cultivating a powerful family, one must strike a balance.

There can be small gates, but there must not be big gates.

Once there is a flame in the big door valve, it must be extinguished in time!

After that, everyone put forward their opinions and suggestions based on Yun Zheng's idea, hoping to make this matter as perfect as possible.

Yun Zheng adopted all the useful suggestions they made.

They stopped discussing until Mu Shun came to report that the banquet was ready.

Emperor Wen stood up with a relaxed look on his face and looked at Yun Zheng with a smile: "First, you should draft a charter and set the rules for this matter, and then we can discuss it in detail later."

As the saying goes, there is no circle without rules.

Since we are going to do this, we must decide on all the rewards and punishments and not act arbitrarily.

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng nodded in agreement.

……

Three days later, all the rules were finalized.

Yun Zheng also formally issued a looting order among them.

However, they had signed an agreement with the tribes of Moxi after all, and only a few people knew about the looting order.

Yun Zheng only needs to control the general direction.

The specific matters were left to Dugu Ce and others.

Yun Zheng’s requirement is speed.

"First, we should quickly select some people to go out and plunder. Let them get some benefits first, and let others see that we are true to our word. We will then gradually relax the selection criteria later..."

Before leaving Yufeng City, Yun Zheng repeatedly instructed Dugu Ce.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely get this done!"

Dugu Ce nodded heavily.

"Also, the rewards for the meritorious soldiers in the Battle of Dayue should be implemented as soon as possible! Those who are willing to be military households can be given them, and those who are not willing will not be forced! As for the promotion of generals above the rank of captain, you should check them first, and then send someone to report to this king..."

Now, with the looting order, there is no need to forcibly assign military households to meritorious soldiers.

Those who want immediate benefits should take immediate benefits.

Those who want long-term benefits must become military households.

How to choose depends on the soldiers at all levels.

"Yes!"

Duguce took the lead.

"Also, each city must be alert to the plague. If there is any situation, it must be reported immediately..."

They were about to leave Yufeng City, and Yun Zheng seemed to have suddenly become more things to explain.

Although he had already explained some of these things before, he still explained them again.

The next period of time is a critical time.

Whether the Northwest Protectorate can be governed well depends on whether they can do their next work well.

Only after confirming again and again that there was nothing else to be told to Dugu Ce did Yun Zheng lead his men to catch up with Emperor Wen's team.

Seeing Yun Zheng catching up, Emperor Wen immediately waved to let him come over.

"Have everything been explained?"

Emperor Wen asked with a smile.

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "I have explained everything."

"How do you feel?" Emperor Wen asked with a smile.

"what?"

Yun Zheng was puzzled, "What...how is it?"

Emperor Wen smiled to himself, "I am asking you, do you understand that conquering the world is difficult, and ruling the world is even more difficult?"

That's it!

Yun Zheng looked at Emperor Wen with a bitter smile, "I feel deeply touched! Ruling the world is indeed much more difficult than conquering it!"

Who said no?

If he had just focused on conquering the world, he would probably have wiped out one or two of the tribes in western Mo by now.

But unfortunately, they can't keep fighting!

If the fighting continues, the people's livelihood in Shuobei will completely collapse.

By then, they will keep winning in the front, but people will keep starving to death in the rear.

In other words, he is simply not qualified to rule the world.

He is suitable to be a governor and maintain peace in the area.

"It's good to know!"

Emperor Wen smiled with satisfaction, "Now that you have decided not to continue fighting, spend more time on governing the local area! Although there is not much fertile land in Shuobei and Northwest Protectorate, there is still a lot of room for development! Spend a few years governing this area well, and then you can continue to fight in peace..."

It’s not that Yun Zheng doesn’t have the ability to govern, but he just doesn’t have that much time.

Yun Zheng’s main energy was not focused on civil governance at all.

Now, it is time to stop and strengthen civil governance.

Many dynasties that were once powerful eventually perished because they exhausted their national strength through constant military campaigns.

"My son, I understand."

Yunzheng nodded solemnly...
