Chapter 676 Means

Zheng Huchen's reply made Zhao Bing a little confused. According to the spies from the affairs bureau, Chen Diaoyan was mobilizing troops and frequently contacting Huang Hua and Mrs. Xu, as if he was preparing for a major operation. In this way, his plans would all be lost. As Zheng Huchen said, he had no time to operate and support Mrs. Xu to become the eldest sister.

"Your Majesty, it's better to make a decision..." Zheng Huchen said again when he saw the young emperor remain silent for a long time.

"No, their actions will only target the Mongolian Yuan, not our Qiongzhou. It will not harm us when fighting. I just regret that so many brave men have died in vain!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, even though that is said, Chen Diaoyan has become king, and he is incompatible with the Xinggong Dynasty. Why should we regret it?" Zheng Huchen said.

"After that being said, I still feel deeply saddened to see them bleeding!" Zhao Bing sighed. He understood that the least valuable thing in troubled times was human life, but this was contrary to modern values. He also felt that as his power increased, he had to act against his original intention, but it was still difficult to make him regard human life as he regarded it as a grass.

"Your Majesty is kind and righteous, but you should not tolerate traitors, and raise tigers as a disaster!" Zheng Huchen said, "Your Majesty, it is not easy to meet those stranded in the palace as far as your subordinates know. It is common for you to write letters to advise and disobey your wishes."

"You mean I'm too soft-hearted." Zhao Bing smiled and said, "As the saying goes, "There is a ruler that has strengths and a shortcoming in a short time. There is no perfect person in this world. Those famous scholars have some tempers, but they also have talent. Only by knowing others and using them well can they make up for their shortcomings. If it is right, we must obey it. If it is wrong, we must not be beaten to death with one stick. And your subordinates have also been used for bandits and thieves and criminals, but they can do things for us, not just do things with one knife!"

"What Your Majesty taught me is that I am abrupt!" Zheng Huchen hurriedly said.

"At present, I and you no longer need to charge forward and do it yourself, but a word can determine the life and death of people, or even the life and death of thousands of people. Therefore, we must not be cautious and sacrifice anyone without any intention." Zhao Bing also said that in his previous life, he felt that the senior executives of an enterprise were mainly to build three teams of management, technical and skilled talents. As the supreme ruler, we must do it to coordinate the military and political teams, trust and never let them do it, and lose their true intentions.

"Your Majesty teaches me to me in mind!" Zheng Huchen politely said again.

"Mr. Zheng doesn't have to be too polite in private, just be more casual." Zhao Bing waved his hand and asked him to sit down, "Since there is an accident at the moment, we can re-consider it and think of a safe way!"

"Your Majesty means that you still want to support Mrs. Xu?" Zheng Huchen asked.

"Well, the other side of the crisis is often opportunities." Zhao Bing nodded and thought, "Master Zheng, where do you think Chen Diaoyan wants to hit?"

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think it is Zhangzhou, and all the surrounding prefectures and counties fall into their hands. There are only two wealthy places around them, Chaozhou and Zhangzhou. Their goals are nothing more than these two places."

"It makes sense, but I think Zhangzhou was captured by it for only more than a year, and the treasury was robbed. Even if the battle was limited, their target should be Chaozhou!" Zhao Bing said with a dialect.

"The subordinates' opinions are contrary to His Majesty. Those brave and brave fighting power are limited. The only ones who can go on the battlefield are the personal soldiers. Most of them are waving flags and shouting to make up for the numbers. Otherwise, Chen Dianyan would not have to rely on the power of Huang Hua and Mrs. Xu to have 50,000 troops. Although Zhangzhou has been broken, the city defense has been destroyed and it is easy to break the city. And now it is the merchant ships that are traveling between the Fengfeng Sea will stay in Zhangzhou. If they are defeated, they will still gain something!" Zheng Huchen said.

"You are right. Is it better to be mature than to be raw?" Zhao Bing thought for a brief moment. He judged that the battle against Chaozhou was evaluated based on the combat effectiveness of his Qiongzhou army. Now he no longer looked down on those "leftovers". The income is not enough, and it is not very meaningful in politics. But the righteous people are different. They do not need to support so many officials, nor do they have to pay them salary. To put it bluntly, just take care of the food. The right to seize war is used as red envelopes, and by the way, they can also catch some people to be younger brothers. Zhangzhou is easy to fight, and the losses are small, so it is naturally the best goal.

"Then your Majesty will not send troops to help, right?" Zheng Huchen asked hesitated. He knew that Your Majesty likes to get cheap things the most, and thought that he would not be taking advantage of the situation to rob, but he couldn't say that!

"I don't want to mess with this muddy water, but I can participate in it secretly!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and sneered.

"What do you think about your Majesty?" Zheng Huchen knew that he could only do this black work by himself, so he asked him to do it immediately.

"What we need to do now is to give away people and weapons to Mrs. Xu as soon as possible!" Zhao Bing said.

"Your Majesty, aren't we going to give them salt?" Zheng Huchen said in confusion after hearing this.

"It's too late to fight. In such a chaotic battle, those who have combat experience can take advantage of the good guys in their hands, grab more things, gather more people, and quickly strengthen their strength!" Zhao Bing said.

"Oh, Your Majesty is such a genius. We don't need to slowly support him. This bad thing has turned Your Majesty into a good thing!" Zheng Huchen said in surprise. Of course, he understood that the righteousness and courage had not undergone strict military training, and those grassroots officers lacked command ability, let alone the coordination between the various departments. Whoever stole the things was naturally the one who stole it. In this way, those grassroots officers had combat experience and sufficient weapons would definitely take advantage of it. It is still cost-effective for Your Majesty to quickly recruit a team of tens of thousands of people with just these.

"No, this is just the first step." Zhao Bing said, "If you capture Zhangzhou again, Kublai Khan will not be able to watch the wall again. He will inevitably mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress them. There will be variables in it, but we cannot grasp it yet!"

"Well, with Chen Diaoyan and his strength, it is difficult to fight against the Mongol Yuan. They may be wiped out under heavy troops or surrender to the Mongol Yuan!" Zheng Huchen nodded and said.

"We have to seize the opportunity. Chen Diaoyan still has some vision. This is the rainy season. He chose to take action at this time because the Yuan army is not good at fighting in a humid and hot environment, giving himself a chance to breathe, but it won't take too long, so we have to seize these few months!" Zhao Bing said with a long sigh.

"Your Majesty even if you give your orders, I will never let you down!" Zheng Huchen said. He had already seen that what Your Majesty wanted was not only Mrs. Xu's little man, but even his territory.

Zhao Bing's plan was very simple. In the name of repaying kindness, he asked someone to send a batch of armored equipment and a letter from Chen Dun, but he never mentioned the matter of imperial edicts and recruitment. The escort team was composed of grassroots officers from Fujian selected by each army, and they had to arrive just before the war and assist them in the siege to gain trust. The next step is to gradually increase the aid and strive to build them up within two or three months.

Then, the Yuan army's large-scale conquest and suppression opportunities were used to weaken the strength of Chen Dianyan and Huang Hua, and at the same time, the personnel lurking in their hands took the opportunity to join Mrs. Xu to strengthen his strength. After this war, even if Huang Hua and Chen Dianyan were not destroyed by the Yuan army, their strength would be greatly damaged. A volunteer team led by Mrs. Xu was formed in the Fujian-Guangzhou area, and an anti-Yuan base was established, gained a foothold in the mainland, and a second battlefield was opened to alleviate the pressure in Qiongzhou...

…………

When Fengyu heard this, Zheng Huchen left Boao to mobilize personnel and arranged the transportation of materials, because it was handled in Zhao Bing's personal name, and all the needs came from the Zuozang Depot, and the personnel were also transferred from the guards, which also saved the verbal verbal criticism in the court and delayed the effort. At the same time, Huang Hua's ships who came to sell salt began to emptie. The reason was that the rainy season had arrived, which reduced the salt output and had to reduce their supply to them.

Regarding the military reform, the situation changed again as several famous scholars and anonymous scholars and scholars from Boao joined the debate. Zhao Bing had to admire that these people were indeed knowledgeable, citing classics and refuting the opposition, and vaguely gained the upper hand. As the positive propaganda work for the army began, the people's attitude towards soldiers began to change, and they were sympathetic.

The confluence of the two voices made the conservatives in the Conservative Dynasty feel a little panicked. After being unable to pronounce "Qiongtai Information", they turned to other tabloids. The debate escalated again for a while. Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang felt that the situation was urgent and reported for many consecutive days to interfere with public opinion. They also held a meeting as soon as possible to discuss the matter of military reform and make conclusions as soon as possible to prevent the situation from getting out of control. But as long as they issued a statement in the "Imperial Daily" to express the attitude of the court, the statement was also extremely simple and vague, which could only cause more speculation, but could not achieve the final result.

Zhao Bing was not in a hurry to see the panic of the two chief ministers and the discussions in society, but promoted his plan in an orderly manner. He remembered that a group psychologist in the United States had analyzed the psychology of the group based on the US election, pointing out that among all the characteristics of the group, the voter group often showed very little reasoning ability. Similarly, they did not have a critical spirit, were credible, were prone to anger, and had extremely simple minds. This situation would not decrease slightly with the progress of the times, because as long as the nature of the voter group did not change, it would always have all the characteristics of a heterogeneous group.

Based on the psychology of the masses, he summarized several routines of persuading the voter group and achieving success in the election. Zhao Bing felt that this was not an exception, and it was very similar to the current situation he was facing, and there were some things to learn from.

First, because fame has a huge dominance on the group, it surpasses all other factors. Therefore, candidates must enjoy fame, or try to win it. The only factor that can replace personal fame is wealth. In addition, knowledge, talent, and even genius are not very important factors for success. Under the same conditions, the probability of a celebrity winning in the election is much higher than that of an unknown ordinary person, and the reason lies in the role of fame. In the eyes of the voter group, it is more reliable to vote for a celebrity they are familiar with than to a stranger. Even if the celebrity is a complete villain, the voter group will feel that they have at least some understanding of his shortcomings.

The second point is equally important, that is, candidates with prestige must be able to force voters to accept themselves without discussion. Since most voters are workers or farmers, they rarely choose their peers to represent themselves. The reason is that they despise people like themselves, and such people have no reputation among them. For example, if voters are workers, they should try to insult and slander their employers as much as possible. No matter how many such behaviors are, they must use assertion, repetition and contagion to make people feel confident that the opponent is a complete rogue, and it is a well-known fact that he continues to act. If votes are cast for him, it means that a great disaster will come.

Third, if your opponent is slandering you, you must remember that it is useless to bother with any superficial evidence. If a person lacks understanding of the masses' psychology, he will defend himself with various arguments instead of denying the rumors with a firm assertion. In this way, he will not have any chance to win.

Fourthly, a candidate must not handle the program written in writing too absolute. It must leave some room for himself, otherwise your opponent will use it to deal with you in the future. When the program becomes black and white, it is a foregone conclusion and cannot be denied or denied. However, if you only explain your program in oral narrative, then it is not too much to talk big. You can promise the audience the most important reforms without fear, or you can tell the audience the lack of good future without shame.

The group welcomes extreme exaggerated things, and speaking out extreme words can have a huge effect among the masses, but in the actual political field, they are not binding on the future at all. Because things will always change, any reform requires constant observation, and voters have neither the energy nor the opportunity to see these things, and they never even want to worry about it. They do not want to know how far the candidates they support have gone to implement their campaign program and how much reform has been carried out, even though voters think it is this program that guarantees his choice.
