Text Chapter 1175: Shang Clan Alliance

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and everything was very peaceful. Both Qin and Shang needed time to recharge their batteries, while the Tianjue Empire remained dormant.

For more than a month, Lin Muyu worked hard to govern and prepare the army for war. The most important thing he did was to prepare food, weapons, etc. Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi also came from Xishan Province and brought 150,000 elite troops to help Lin Muyu defend The three southern provinces, for the Qin Empire, these three provinces are the deep rear, the backing land that provides food and wages, and must be well guarded, otherwise it will not be able to gain a foothold in this foreign land.

...

Spring is here, but there is no sense of spring in the world. Every three to five days, there will be a heavy snowfall, and the temperature will always fluctuate with the melting of ice and snow.

Hongyan City is a fortified city. When He Song ruled Hongyan City, he was cruel and ruthless. He secretly captured civilians and sacrificed wolf souls. The imperial charter was distributed to all states and counties, ordering the whole country to implement the constitution and govern the country by the constitution. After all, this decree was placed here, and even the empress had to follow it, and the entire social order began to become orderly.

What the people need is actually very simple, a sense of security, life security, fairness and justice.

Lin Muyu's injury slowly healed. Although the speed was much slower than expected, it was still healed after all.

In the early morning, wearing a marshal's cloak, he walked out of the room slowly, and came to the windy courtyard, only to see that the peach blossoms in the courtyard were still not in bloom, but the small buds were covered with ice and snow. If the severe cold continues, I'm afraid it won't bloom this year, and those buds will freeze to death as the season goes by.

"well……"

Lin Muyu looked up at Taozhi, and couldn't help sighing. The weather was still severe cold, which only showed that the breath of the devil world was still surging and infiltrating into the six realms. Although the punishment of heaven had passed, the chaos was still there.

"Wake up?"

Behind him came Qin Yin's soft laughter: "Come, have a sip of hot soup first."

"Thank you Xiao Yin."

Lin Muyu turned around, took the soup, then glanced at Qin Yin's beautiful face, and said, "Xiao Yin, is there any news from Xishan Province and Shang Kingdom these days?"

"Not yet." Qin Yin blinked, and said: "For the time being, Commander Feng, Qianfeng, Ding Xi and the others will watch over there. It's all right, brother Ayu, the most important thing is to take care of your health."

Lin Muyu took a sip of the soup, continued to look at the peach branches, and said, "This year's peach blossoms will not bloom."

"Yes, maybe." Qin Yin clasped her hands tightly, looked at the footprints on the snow, and said thoughtfully, "Brother Ah Yu, have you considered..."

"Think about what?"

"Hand over the military power and let Wei Chou command the Long Dan Camp and Bai Ze mercenaries?" Qin Yin said cautiously, "I'm worried about your health...so don't bother so much, Xiao Xi also means the same."

Lin Muyu couldn't help smiling, looked down at her, and said, "Xiao Yin, you are not worried about my body, are you worried about my confidence? Hongyan City is defeated, are you worried that I will have a psychological fear of Chen Yu? "

"This...I..." Qin Yin stammered, as if he had acquiesced.

Lin Muyu put the bowl on the stone table, stepped forward to support Qin Yin's fragrant shoulders, looked at her straightly, and said, "Yes, Chen Yu is indeed very powerful, so powerful that I don't have the absolute confidence to defeat him, but Xiao Yin, you also need to know that Chen Yu is a hurdle for me. He used tricks to kill my general Xu Jiantao. If I can't cross this hurdle in person, defeat Chen Yu in person, and use his blood to pay homage to Xu Jiantao, I will die for the rest of my life. I'm afraid everyone will regret this, and feel ashamed of Xu Jiantao's spirit in heaven."

"But……"

"Don't worry, hatred won't make me lose my cool, I've already recovered." Lin Muyu smiled slightly, with incomparable confidence in her clear eyes.

Qin Yin also laughed, just as Lin Muyu said, the invincible Lin Muyu is back.

Slowly sitting on the cold stone bench, Qin Yin brushed her hair and said softly, "Brother Ah Yu, are you going to start a war between the north and the south?"

"Um."

Lin Muyu's gaze was like a torch: "Feng Jixing, Qianfeng, and Ding Xi are guarding the Xishan Province. There are a total of 500,000 troops, which is enough to check and balance or even destroy the army of Yangshang. What I have to do is to hold Chen Yu here. Don't let him act rashly, wait for Brother Feng to destroy the Shang Kingdom, sit on the entire territory of the Blackstone Empire and the Tianji Empire, and when the time comes, the north and the south will advance eastward together, and it will only take a few months to destroy the Tianjue Empire."

"What are your plans?"

"Yes." Lin Muyu naturally confided in the empress, and said, "No matter how resourceful Chen Yu is, most of his troops are recruits, and the lack of combat power is a very objective fact, so as long as Chen Yu uses troops, he will never return to Lin Xi." Attack on Dafengjixing and Qianfeng's headquarters, then I will have a chance. Starting from Dongguan in Hongyan Province, Qingqi can approach Luohan City within two days. If Chen Yu dares to fight the wind, I will Immediately, the strange soldiers took over his lair, and without the support of Luohancheng, Chen Yu's 800,000 army naturally collapsed without attacking."

"Aren't you worried that Chen Yu will feign an attack this time and set up an ambush?"

Lin Muyu smiled: "Even my Xiaoyin thought that Chen Yu would use this strategy, so why would Chen Yu play tricks?"

Qin Yin couldn't help being coquettish, and said with a smile: "Are you calling me stupid!?"

"No la."

Lin Muyu shook her warm little hand, and said: "Just talking about the facts, Xiao Yin is not stupid, but I don't want you to be involved in this treacherous world of conspiracy."

"Um……"

"Where is Xiaoxi, there was no one in the early morning."

"Oh, she and A Yao went to the street to buy vegetables, and they said they wanted to buy some fresh vegetables and cook them for you."

"There are so many cooks in the Spirit Fire Department, and the two of them actually need to do it by themselves..."

"Well, it's different."

"All right……"

Not long after, there was a bustling sound outside. It seemed that Sikong Yao and Tang Xiaoxi had returned. The two girls had a lively personality, and they were so lively together. Lin Muyu and Qin Yin immediately walked out of the courtyard. In the compound, Tang Xiaoxi and Sikong Yao came side by side, Sikong Yao was extremely excited, and said: "Brother, I brought a person back, guess who is here!"

"Who is it?"

"Here..."

Si Kongyao stepped aside, but behind her was a dusty woman, wearing the clothes of a noble girl in Tianji City, but the skirt was covered with mud, obviously bumped along the way, her face was still pretty, and she was very handsome. With familiar eyes, Lin Muyu recognized it at a glance, and said in astonishment, "Miss Shang Qian?"

It is the eldest lady of the merchant!

After Shang Qian saw Lin Muyu, her eyes turned red, and she bowed and said, "Shang Qian sees the marshal..."

"Why are you so polite..."

"You are the Marshal, you are no longer the same person as before..." Shang Qian moved her red lips, and said, "And I am just a daughter of a subjugated country, a poor wretch with a ruined family."

"What's going on?" Lin Muyu wondered.

Sikong Yao said: "Brother, don't you know? The Chamber of Commerce of Sister Shangqian's family is called the Shangshi Guild. The business of this merchant alliance once controlled nearly 30% of the economic lifeline of the Tianji Empire. The merchants are also the richest people in the world. But then...Bei Mingyuan was no longer the emperor, and the new emperor Yang Shang continued to squeeze more and more, until a few days ago... I made a secret agreement with Sister Shang Qian, and the Shang Clan Alliance secretly provided military rations to Xishan Province. , the entire business has been affected..."

Shang Qian's eyes were red, and she said: "Twenty days ago, my father and elder brother were killed. I was not in Tianji City, so I got the news and survived. I was among the refugees along the way and came to Hongyan after a few troubles. City, the servants who followed me have changed from more than 70 people at the beginning to four people now... I have no relatives anymore, and Ayao is my only support..."

Behind Shang Qian, the four servants were also in a state of travel and dust, and even one of them was seriously injured, with half of his arm cut off. It seems that they have indeed experienced hardships along the way.

Lin Muyu said apologetically: "Miss Shang Qian, please be sorry... This matter is said to be caused by our Great Qin Empire, please rest assured that the Great Qin Empire will definitely live up to the merchant. A Yao, what are you going to do?"

Si Kongyao shook her head: "I don't know for now, let's arrange for sister Shang Qian to live in Hongyan City..."

"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded, with a hesitant expression. Qin Yinbingxue, who was at the side, naturally knew what he was thinking, so she leaned closer and whispered: "I did hear the news that the entire business was almost wiped out, and more than three hundred people were beheaded. , if it is an insider, the price is too high, and Shang Qian's despair is absolutely impossible to pretend."

"Yeah, I got it."

Lin Muyu nodded and said: "The merchant used to be a famous family, so there must be friends in the business world all over the world, right?"

Shang Qian was taken aback for a moment: "Well, that's true, what does the Marshal mean by asking...?"

"I mean..." Lin Muyu spread his hands and said, "I want to hand over the business lifeline of the three southern provinces to Ms. Shang Qian, and the business of clothing, food, housing, etc. will be given to you through government channels. Provide help, you want to revive the economy of the Blackstone Empire as soon as possible, I wonder if Miss Shang Qian is willing?"

"Ah?" Shang Qian was obviously very surprised: "I...I'm afraid..."

"how?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm afraid that I'm not capable enough." Shang Qian lowered her head and murmured, "What's more, why should the marshal trust me, a woman who once betrayed you?"

"It's up to each other, it's not considered a betrayal. Now, Miss Shang Qian is willing to accept my invitation to be the first member of Daqin's business alliance in Tianji?"

"I... I am willing." Shang Qian looked at him with bright eyes like water, and said, "It's just that the territory of the Blackstone Empire has always been full of martial arts. They look down on merchants, and they despise the business of the merchant alliance, so the Shang alliance rarely cooperates with them." People from the Blackstone Empire come and go because they don't pay attention to rules, since the Marshal and His Highness trust Shang Qian, they must first agree to a condition for the little girl."

"you say."

"Revise a commercial law to protect the interests of the business alliance. Only in this way can we fundamentally change the status quo of the three southern provinces and the people's perception of the business alliance."

"No problem." Lin Muyu nodded, and Qin Yin at the side also smiled and said, "People from the National Congress will discuss the formulation of this commercial law with Miss later."

Tears filled Shang Qian's eyes, and she bowed deeply: "Thank you Your Highness, thank you Marshal, for giving me the chance to revive the Shang Clan Alliance!"
