Commercial tax revenue is rising every year, and the fiscal revenue of Nulin Province is now higher than before Baron Bonham took office."

"Of course, the Northwest Army does not have its own methods. At least in terms of military strength, they have been firmly suppressing Baron Bohan. The local garrison in the northwest region belongs to Governor Bohan in terms of command power, but in

In terms of material supply...according to wartime regulations, they are allocated by the Northwest Army. Therefore, the equipment of the local garrison in the entire northwest region is very backward, and supplies are often delayed. The combat effectiveness of the local garrison is low, and there is nothing Baron Bohan can do about it.

.Although he has money in his hands, he cannot spend his own money to replenish the army, because that is against imperial laws! The Northwest Army is very smart in this regard and has been keeping a close eye on Baron Bonham. If he dares to act rashly,

I will accuse him of interfering in military affairs. However, I have reason to suspect that Governor Bohan has also done some tricks secretly. At least as far as I know, the local garrison in Mulan City is well equipped and has daily training.

Very formal.”

"In general, the current situation in the northwest is that Governor Bohan is supporting the overall situation by himself and confronting the Northwest Army. Governor Bohan is suppressing the Northwest Army in terms of food, while the Northwest Army is suppressing it in terms of military strength.

Governor Bohan. The two sides have been at odds for several years. At present, it seems that, generally speaking, the Northwest Army has the upper hand. But the biggest trump card in the hands of the Northwest Army is the wartime doctrine from twenty years ago."

At the end of the sentence, Philip couldn't help but complain: "Sir, this doctrine is the biggest support of the Northwest Army. It has to be said that a wartime doctrine from 20 years ago is still in use today, which is extremely ridiculous.

"

"But the Empire Central Committee has been unable to cancel this order, right?" Du Wei sighed.

"Yes." Philip nodded, and he turned to another page: "Look, this is the record I made. The Northwest Army's annual spring drills are very strict. It has to be said that it is an act of showing off force. I want to see it.

Come, the empire wants to eradicate the evil in the northwest. Baron Bohan’s weakening policy will hardly accomplish this task, because even if it is weakened further, the military power will still be in the hands of others, and there is nothing he can do. Unless..."

At this point, Philip did not dare to continue talking.

Du Wei didn't shy away from it and said calmly: "Unless the central government of the empire has the courage... to start a civil war!"

Philip shuddered and looked at the young Duke in front of him. This young aristocrat still had the childishness unique to young people in his appearance, but the cold light in his eyes and the sneer at the corner of his mouth, where was there any trace of childishness?

"Sir, my lord..." Philip forced a smile: "You can't say this casually."

"Humph." Du Wei smiled and shook his head: "That's all I can say. With the current national strength of the empire, can it support a civil war?"

Phillip's eyes dimmed, he knew very well that Du Wei was telling the truth!

If you want to completely eradicate the chaos in the northwest, you can only rely on weakening and restraint without thunderous means to barely maintain a balance. If you want to eradicate it, you must be willing to pay a certain painful price!

But this price... can the empire afford it now?

Thinking of this, Philip couldn't help but glance at the Duke. Frankly speaking, when the teacher recommended people like him to the Tulip Duke, Philip was still a little skeptical. After all, although the Duke was famous,

He is very old, but his age is really hard to convince people. How can a boy who is less than fifteen years old go to a land of tigers and wolves like the northwest and not be swallowed up by those warlords to the point of leaving nothing behind?

So what if he is a powerful magician! In this kind of thing, individual strength cannot influence everything!

But as he had in-depth conversations with Du Wei in the past few days, Philip felt more and more extraordinary about this Duke. He quietly obtained a complete infantry regiment of the former Imperial Ace Army from Big Er City.

Du Wei's temperament has been revealed in Du Wei's conversations over the past few days. It can be said that Philip has been completely convinced by the teacher's arrangements. This Duke is definitely qualified to serve him!

However, the fierceness in Du Wei's eyes and words occasionally made Philip feel a little worried.

When such a decisive young man comes to the northwest, will he be able to bring stability to the northwest... or will it cause a great chaos?!

"Philip." With a smile on his face, Du Wei woke up the thoughtful staff: "Seeing that we are almost at the city gate, I think the governor must have sent someone to greet us. I really want to see the man who was arrested now.
