The 2051st Day Settled in the Eastern Empire

King Ning himself did not expect such a thing to happen, nor did he expect that the court would characterize this matter as aggression. Are these people from Cao's firm really here for aggression? Didn't they discuss with the court that they want to enter here in the future? I am really useless as a prince. If many people would stand up and shout for me in the past, they would tell the court that they are innocent at all. And can those ministers who attack other places be able to resist it? That is also impossible. My own army can be said to be the most powerful army in the entire empire. The armies of other ministers are not as good as my own. If I let them resist, it is likely to fail more completely. How much am I still resisting now? If it were them, all the territory would be lost.

The first thing His Majesty did was to lower Prince Ning's title by one level and become a county prince. He was originally a prince, and he was the most noble and powerful among all the princes, but now he has become a prince. The county king, although the difference is only one word, but the power gap represented is indeed very strong, as if his fiefdom, his army and his clothing all have a decline, and this blow is still very huge, It's like the carriage I'm making now. In the past, when I was a prince, the carriage could seat 20 people. It can be seen that it is difficult for 10 people to hold the title of the county king. On the way to the capital, all of my own My thoughts have turned into despair and I went back, and the ministers in some places never came out to see me. Because the court stipulated that all the ministers would come out to greet the prince only when he was traveling, as for the county king? That's unnecessary.

There has never been a shortage of people who act with winks in the world. They have already seen that His Majesty the Emperor's patience with His Highness King Ning has reached a certain level, and he will not continue to endure, so continue to curry favor There is no need for King Ning. After returning to the capital, King Ning still doesn't know how to live his life? Judging by His Majesty's current temper, it is possible that His Majesty King Ning will be driven into the abyss of eternal doom. This is also possible. When His Majesty the Emperor was fighting against the Linghu family at the front line, it was already extremely dangerous. At this time, His Royal Highness King Ning is not in the capital to support him. He actually ran into his own fief and started planning something big? Everyone knows that big event, it is nothing more than rebellion, what other big event can be brewed besides this matter? This kind of thing that takes advantage of others is even done by King Ning, and now we have to bear the consequences, we don't care.

Most ministers think so. Back then, when King Ning wanted to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to confront him. They chose neutrality. Now I still feel that I should choose neutrality, but some brains are faster, and you can choose neutrality on the side of the emperor. He won't hold you accountable for the stability of the empire? If you still choose to be neutral when he comes back to attack King Ning, you will not open your eyes. His Majesty the Emperor wants to find a step to go down, so you have to stick your own body on it as a step. He just started his journey from his own fiefdom, and the imperial court’s memorials to impeach King Ning were piled up in the entire upper kitchen. His Majesty the Emperor only glanced at these memorials. He wanted to deal with King Ning. You people also came to add to the cake. No need, where did you all go when your king was in the capital and forced Lao Tzu to step down? It's not a bunch of grasshoppers.

Although His Majesty thinks so,

But he can't do that yet. Now that he wants to attack and deal with King Ning, it is necessary for these people to support him here. It will fall apart, just like many ministers know that he has their black materials in his hands. According to Li Cong, these materials must have been destroyed, but they don't know that they think these materials are in the hands of King Ning. When King Ning returned to the capital this time, he also added more than a dozen carriages to the back of his car, with luxurious boxes on it. Why did he say that it must contain the files of hundreds of officials, but as long as it is People with brains will think about the strength of King Ning. Doesn't it even have a space ring? Should he put it in his hand or in the car? Even a three-year-old child can understand this reason.

It is obvious that there is no silver three hundred taels here, if you really have these things in your hand, how could it show up.

There are also many people who have other ideas after being dyed. For example, those people think that His Royal Highness King Ning will take out these things to remind those people. Let you know that your handle is still in my hands. When you are in the capital, you have to think carefully when you are talking, when you are doing things, who is the master behind you? If you really fall to the side of His Majesty the Emperor, and publish all these contents, will His Majesty the Emperor use you? Even if you are temporarily enlisted because of the struggle with King Ning, but in the future, will you be able to live well for the rest of your life? That's impossible. An emperor will never allow his subordinates to behave half-heartedly. Are some of you not as simple as half-hearted? There are even several masters? No one needs such a subject. When the time comes, your good days will come to an end, so why not come to assist His Highness King Ning now, and it is good to stick to the end.

In terms of armed forces, after His Majesty the Emperor returned to the capital, he has made major changes to the defense of the capital, so those generals who are related to King Ning have been transferred out of the capital for either this reason or that reason. Otherwise, she was directly promoted to the ministry, became a court official, and had no contact with the general who actually commanded the army. Although such a thing was not what King Ning wanted to see, what did she have? How to change it? That is not at all. His Majesty the Emperor is the actual supreme leader of the entire empire. Whoever he wants to be in charge of the army can be in charge of the army. Even some ministers in the court, those hard-core King Ning sects have all been changed. It is impossible for them to continue to let them stay. If they stay, it will bring a lot of trouble to His Majesty the Emperor in the next struggle!

The chief executives from all over the empire have seen it every year. They used to flirt with His Royal Highness King Ning, but now they understand that they can't continue to wander like that. If they continue to be half-hearted, His Majesty the Emperor might take him After the operation, King Ning's various industries in the entire empire were immediately ended. For example, this kind of problem or that kind of problem that was obtained due to business reasons came up one by one. In the past, these problems were not considered problems. But now that these problems have come out, even a small problem will be magnified by the employer with a magnifying glass. Such problems are not small if they accumulate. There are definitely not many people who beat the dog in the water. Up and down the entire empire. But anyone with a certain status hopes that he can get rid of the relationship with King Ning.

King Ning on the road has completely lost his mind. According to his current speed, he still has one month to reach the capital. He originally wanted to slowly think about the way to deal with it in this month. After all, I have existed for tens of thousands of years, and some of my foundations are still very powerful. If I really show them all, I think His Majesty the Emperor does not have the courage to tear myself apart. The disasters that the Eastern Empire has encountered recently There are too many, first is the issue of the Thunder Gate, then the issue of the Linghu family, and then it came out again, Cao's firm harassed the coastal area, and even occupied a large number of islands in the coastal area, and now it is time to wipe out Linghu The family, and then myself, can be said to have never been idle. For the entire country, the overall national strength has declined, but it is very serious. If His Majesty the Emperor is in full-scale war with him, the Eastern Empire will be in jeopardy. He will risk it. Does this risk deal with itself?

His Royal Highness King Ning understands the truth. As the emperor of the Eastern Empire, he naturally understands the truth. The reason why he dares to take action against King Ning now is to wake up those forces in the capital that are about to move. This time the crusade against Linghu The family, the entire capital can almost be said to be in shock, and the entire empire is living in unease. People of small powers are not qualified to stand up and jump. If they want to follow those big powers, those big powers are naturally not reconciled to the current situation. If you want to expand your power, if you harm the interests of His Majesty the Emperor, His Highness Prince Ning is a target this time, and other dishonest princes and dukes will be punished slowly. Those who don't have this strength, because he has to deal with the Linghu family, but now that he is free, these small powers, which are not considered large compared to the Linghu family, have come to an end.

The most important thing for King Ning now is to think about how to keep his current position, so that he can make a comeback. Although he is only a county king now, if he can keep it, he will hide for many years and wait for His Majesty to return to the west. Opportunity, if he can't even keep the seat of the county king, that's the most terrible thing, so now he can't make any mistakes, he brought a lot of money besides those things this time, in the In the capital, he is going to be a money-spreading boy. As long as he is a person, he has to give away the money in his hand, and he must let them mobilize all the power they can mobilize to intercede for him. Where is the emperor and the queen mother? Where are the palaces of the princes? They are all objects that need to be managed by themselves. The money I have left over the years can be thrown out to let them keep their seats. This is the most important thing.

I feel that I can earn such a family property before, and I can have more family property after 10,000 years. I don’t want all kinds of real estate and shops all over the country. I just pack them up and give them away. At this time, I only need If there are still people who want to confiscate it, then my future can be pre-determined. If someone dares to confiscate it at that time, then I will be considered playing? As long as someone receives a gift from her, she has a certain relationship with herself. If His Majesty the Emperor wants to uproot himself, he must also get these people up. Choose, beg for perfection and keep your own. At that time, I have to change my current strategy. It is absolutely impossible to be brave everywhere. I have to lock myself in the house for a hundred years. Otherwise, I will return sooner or later. It's the current fate.

King Ning knew that he was too strong in the past, and he refused to give in on everything. For example, in the past, His Majesty the Emperor got a very beautiful cup, and the cup felt nothing to him. I found one even more beautiful than the one of His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor who is showing off here feels very ashamed. This kind of thing must never happen in the future. If such a thing still happens, then I am too embarrassed. Incompetent, His Majesty the Emperor is also an ambitious person, and he also needs others to flatter him. I, who had never bowed my head before, began to flatter him. He should be very satisfied in his heart. Thinking of this, His Majesty King Ning felt a burst of depression in his heart, but there was no other way. Figure out a way. This word has another way. Just can it be used?

King Ning slowly turned his palm over, and there was a tiny black line in it that could not be seen with eyes, but he could feel it himself. That is the mark of a black potion pharmacist. In the past, I didn’t have this mark because my black potion potion master was not very powerful, but now it has reached a certain level. The black potion potion master wants to carry forward in this world. , I will only unite with some powerful people. I am their partner in the Eastern Empire, and they also said that if they need it, they will send a large number of people to help them win power. This is just the last step. Even if I gain power by relying on their strength, what can I get in the end? The common people don't want to be with me at all. The most important thing is that they are really here to bring disasters to the east and west. I don't want a dilapidated empire.

Looking at Li Cong, the coastal province of King Ning has become even less defensive because of King Ning's departure. Now the Marine Corps is already lined up to accept cities one after another. Among these cities , although most of the wealth was taken away by King Ning, there are still a lot left behind. For example, these lands are a very important wealth. To develop these coastal areas, the development of coastal areas is always much better than inland areas. Now that King Ning is gone, these lands will become some lands without owners, and they can be directly collected by themselves. King Ning bought some other houses or something? I don’t want these anymore, and they are all things that can’t be moved. Of course, he didn’t remove some expensive ornaments or anything, but he didn’t keep them for you. They were all burned, this damn guy.

It will take about two months for a province to occupy it. After all, there are still some small armed forces in various places. These armed forces still think that His Royal Highness King Ning can bring troops from the capital to aid them. In fact, they are not moving. Think about it in your own brain, the war has already begun, if there is reinforcements for such a long time, they must have arrived long ago, but look at the provinces around you, there are millions of troops, why even one Not a single soldier has been sent to you, which shows a problem. They have received orders from above, and it is impossible to send troops here. Who is the upper hand? Then only they themselves know. His Majesty the Emperor must have ordered these generals not to send troops over. Otherwise, those who took the order of King Ning would not have been able to send the troops over. Now no troops have come. It is clear that to die in vain resistance here is to take one's own life for nothing.

When Li Cong's army took control of the seaside, the sailing army also came, and they brought Yang Decai and most of his men. After two days of interrogation, Yang Dacai finally told the things on the ship, and Li Cong looked at the hundred-turn files, and hesitated. Should he keep these things? At this stage, he can keep them, but in the future, the Eastern Empire is a very large empire. , is bigger than the other three empires combined, especially their colonies on the sea. It is impossible for him to completely control these people, and it is impossible for him to completely control these people. Although the archives are very important, the emperor of the Eastern Empire also knew about this matter. Once he had arranged everything, he would come back and ask himself for these things. These things may become an excuse for war. At that time What if you don't want to go to war?

When Li Cong considered the problem, he always considered it comprehensively, and now Cao's House has the upper hand. Because I have provided a large number of new weapons and some advanced management experience, a future person has a higher chance of winning against these ancient people. These ancient people do not even have a chance to fight back. Fighting back is definitely a failure, there is no possibility of success, but what about the future? 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, this planet is so huge, there may still be many places that I don't know, if all those things come out. Do you also need a few allies? It is impossible for him to regard all the people on the entire planet as his enemies. Now, he really does not have a few reliable allies. Even friends are using each other. Such things make Li Cong feel very confused. But if you think about it carefully, do you understand that the two sides are opposites?

Li Cong himself came from an outer space. His main purpose of coming here is to conquer this planet. And the original strength on this planet belongs to the royal families of the four great empires, and they and Li Cong were originally on the opposite side. The reason why there were some contacts and cooperation in the past is also because it is temporary. It is impossible to cooperate for a long time. The royal families of the four empires have reached a consensus long ago to jointly strangle the Cao family. The strength of the firm is only because the power of the Cao's firm is relatively strong. They can't find a chance to do it for a while, and they don't have the ability to destroy the Cao's firm, but what about in the future? It is impossible for Cao's House of Commerce to remain so strong forever, and there are still some unrevealed strengths on the entire planet. Once those strengths are exposed, Cao's House of Commerce may not be able to resist it. Thinking about these, Li Cong still hopes It is better to have a strong and permanent ally.

When Li Cong said his idea, some of his staff thought about it. If he wanted to find friends, he couldn't find the emperor of the Eastern Empire. Li Cong also knew that the emperors of the Four Great Empires were better than the emperors of the Eastern Empire. It can be said that he is the most scheming person, and also the most powerful. If he wants to plot against others, he has that brain and strength. He is completely different from the emperors of the other three empires. Most of the emperors have been spoiled by hedonism. Even if they have their own ideas in their hearts, they don't have the strength. Therefore, if they want to cooperate, it is better to cooperate with the emperors of the Eastern Empire. Li Cong and the four empires The emperor with the worst relationship is the emperor of the Eastern Empire. In the past few years, Li Cong really had nothing to do except the war with the Eastern Empire. Thinking of this, Li Cong touched his temple helplessly, This matter is really tricky!

After a day of thinking and discussing with the people around him, Li Cong decided that it would be better if he could not keep these things. The excuse of doing it yourself, I must not leave this excuse to him. Although I may not be united with the emperor of the Eastern Empire in the future, but if there is such a chance, I cannot give up, especially in the recent period. Some experiences in the empire made him feel that the Eastern Empire is much stronger than the other three empires. Even though the Eastern Empire has experienced so many things, the foundation of the entire empire is still not broken. If it is Among the other three empires, it is estimated that the three empires are already subjugated. Only when the three empires unite can they fight against the Eastern Empire. This alone can explain the strength of the Eastern Empire.

Some of the subordinates were silent after hearing Li Cong's thoughts, but it could be seen from their expressions that they were not willing to hand over these things to the royal family of the Eastern Empire, even if they did not pass the news It is also a very cost-effective thing to take out all of them, only one or two of them or when you need them. The officials of the Eastern Empire are very greedy. If you want to use money to feed them I don't know how much it will cost, and it doesn't work very well. Why don't you go to them with some of the things in it, and make sure that they do things properly for you, and treat yourself as a guest, Li Cong also knew their thoughts very well, but in the end Li Cong still didn't take their approach, and used airships to transport these things to the capital, and transported these things to the capital as quickly as possible. , so that His Majesty's heart can feel at ease.

For the other three empires, they were also very surprised. His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire was able to reach an agreement with Cao's House of Firm. You must know that the royal family of the Eastern Empire had just suffered a big loss in the negotiations with Li Cong on the southern coast. They should be the kind of enemies who quarrel endlessly when they meet. There is no intention of negotiating. They did not expect that they would accept such an ending in such a short period of time. This really made the royal families of the three empires feel very puzzled. In their view, this war It should be a protracted war, the imperial family of the Eastern Empire should want to wipe out the Linghu family. And the Linghu family and Cao's firm are allies. The most powerful ally of Cao's House of Commerce in the Eastern Empire is the Linghu Family. It is impossible for him to let the Linghu Family lose their base in that way, so Cao's House of Commerce will mobilize a large number of troops to help the Linghu Family. That was when Cao's House was at its weakest. They will also deal with Cao's firm.

Tiger, the king of the beasts, does just that. If not dealing with him when he is at his weakest. Then you will never find a chance to deal with him in your life. The high-level officials of the three empires have already contacted each other. When watching the emperor of the Eastern Empire fight with the Cao family firm. The strength of the Cao's Commercial Bank is the weakest. If you don't deal with the Cao's Commercial Bank at this time, you will simply give up all opportunities. At this time, the Cao's Commercial Bank will definitely transfer a large number of troops, and they will also return to Cao's Commercial Bank As for the very powerful navy of Cao's House, they are not very afraid at all, because their coastal areas are not very developed at all, the big deal is to move all the people in the coastal areas to the inland Well, they have that kind of courage, and it’s okay to let some people not live. As long as they can pull out the huge nail of Cao’s Commercial Bank, it will be very happy, but it’s a pity that their calculations are all empty.

Some of their thoughts are also very clear to Li Cong. Before they have any action, Li Cong has already changed his army. The original serial chain is no longer needed. The original range is about 3 kilometers. Now The serial crossbows that I refitted have all reached 3500 meters, and the magazine has also increased to 15 rounds. Don't underestimate such a simple number. The improvement is not just that little. You must know that a square team is organized according to 1500 people This means that these 1,500 people can be used as the previous 2,000 people, so that the combat effectiveness has been increased by 30%, and the ability to use a weapon can increase the combat effectiveness by 30%. On this planet, it can be said that It is unique, and it has appeared in large numbers on the earth, but some technologies on the earth will not appear on this planet, and they are not the same.

The other thing is grenades. In the past, Li Cong would never add some explosive and powerful gunpowder to it. Now that the situation is urgent, he can't take care of so much. The area of ​​three meters has been affected, and now this kind of high-explosive gunpowder newly developed on the earth has been added. If it is thrown out, within a range of four or five meters, as long as someone is either killed or seriously injured, and these shrapnel will become more explosive after the explosion. It is very easy to want people's lives. Li Cong distributed all these things. The most important thing is to add them to some cities of the three empires. These are the cities occupied by Li Cong and the three cities. The Great Empire has discussed that if you want to pull out these cities, you have to see if your teeth are enough. If they are not strong enough, I advise you not to take the humiliation yourself. Otherwise, the teeth will be broken and it will be your own. matter.

Now the army of Cao's Commercial Bank has begun to modernize, and these various equipment are slowly catching up. Although it is not yet possible to replace all large-scale troops with these new equipment, among them A small army will also change their outfits. For example, if the army has been organized to 10,000 people, at least 1,000 people will use new weapons, and the remaining ones can be eliminated with old ones. When starting a battle, the overall combat power is much stronger than that of the armies of the four great empires. Of course, Li Cong also found some shortcomings, that is, recruits are still afraid when they go to the battlefield, and they still hold the trigger and don’t move directly. Release all the arrows on your chain crossbow. This is very detrimental to the entire battle, especially in terms of army logistics. It cannot keep up. bow and arrow.

Looking at the Hunting Fox Clan, after this battle, although the entire army of Linghu Jiazhong was not wiped out. But they also suffered a lot of losses. A total of 50 provinces were occupied by others. If they were in the past, the Linghu family might not have looked down on these trump cards. After all, there are still a lot of people in the entire empire. assets, but now those assets have become the royal family of the Eastern Empire. Here I have to say that the large amount of assets of the Linghu family, except for those that can be taken away, have all been ended by His Majesty the Emperor. It is him. What he accepted was not accepted by the entire royal family. In the past, he wanted to give points to some people in the royal family, but now he received them all directly in his pocket. I don't want to share it with other people in the royal family at all. He also saw that if it was given to other princes and dukes, these things might become a tool to rebel against him in the future, and he himself is not that stupid. So it's better to keep most things by yourself. It's better to give to his own son than to give to those guys when he dies.

Those fifty provinces were the last reliance of the Linghu family. The overseas territories are also gone, and most of the overseas territories have been accepted by the people of the Cao's House of Commerce. It can be said that the Linghu family was divided up by the Emperor of the Eastern Empire and the people of the Cao's House of Commerce. It is not an exaggeration to say that, the Eastern Empire emperor and Li Cong have benefited not at all. Li Cong has benefited from the empire and the Linghu family. Like some black intermediaries in China, both sides take bonuses to please both sides, so that people on both sides have not achieved their respective goals. On the contrary, they are very full, and this eating situation is a bit too ugly. It’s good to get the actual benefits. I don’t spend money. I have used the army and the navy, and my military expenditure is not a small amount. Spending thousands of dollars, where did I get it wrong from you guys?

Now the cooperation between Li Cong and His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire has not yet been completed. There is another more important content of their cooperation, which is about the actions of those black magic medicine masters. , but it was found that the clue was King Ning. His Highness King Ning is now going to the capital. The plan of His Majesty the Emperor and Li Cong is to start persecuting His Highness Ning. After all, this is a place with laws. Although there is an emperor, the Emperor can There is no need for law enforcement for the common people, but it is not allowed for His Royal Highness Ning Wang. After all, His Royal Highness Ning Wang is the most beloved son of the previous emperor, and there is such an imperial decree. The people of the entire empire dare not say anything, but they will think in their hearts. It will definitely be very detrimental to His Majesty's future rule. Therefore, His Highness King Ning must be forced to reveal the matter of the black magister. It's easy to say anything if he has something to do with this matter.

His Royal Highness King Ning understood this truth, so he didn't want to take that step. When it came time to take that step, it was his last time, and there was no way out? Black potion masters are a taboo existence on this continent. There is no benefit in talking with these people. These noble people do not want to be with them, and they will be strangled by all magicians. These magicians used to Sometimes the Black Potion Master is not pleasing to the eye, as long as you have nothing to do with her, no matter if you are a prince, even the emperor of a country, they will stand up and resist. Many people say that magicians have no brains. Well, there is nothing wrong with this, as long as it is something they are sure about, they will pay a huge price and have to complete it. The black grinding pharmacist is the first law of all magicians, and all magician unions will support this In the world, the most important thing is that all senior magicians will participate in this matter, which is a huge fighting force.

The first part of His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire has been completed, and the second part of Mr. Li's work has also been completed. The two of them combined to break the hands of His Highness King Ning. Now it depends on how your Highness should deal with it. My own hands have grown up, and the power of King Ning's Mansion in the capital can be said to have weakened very much. Besides, his fief has been directly occupied by people from Cao's House. Li Cong is now standing at the gate of Li Wang's Mansion Come on, looking at the three golden words on it, it was okay for him to come here in the past, but this is someone else's home, and it has nothing to do with him at all. From now on, this sign will be taken down , to change the signboard of Cao's House of Commerce, from now on this place will become the headquarters of Cao's House of Commerce in the Eastern Empire. How has the situation in the Eastern Empire changed? After all, the Cao's House is here, and the Eastern Empire has its own territory, a very large territory, and an entire province.

Alas, speaking of it, we have struggled in the Eastern Empire for many years. There has never been a place for us to settle down. Although there are some cities in the south that belong to us, they still belong to the Eastern Empire on the surface, and we cannot be blatant there. We have set our own standards carefully, but it is different now. I didn’t expect that the entire palace will be our future headquarters. The area covered here is really very large, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of people to work in it. Transferred from another place, he has already served as the general manager of the Eastern Empire. From now on, all the affairs of the Cao family business within the scope of the Eastern Empire will be managed by this guy. He used to manage it when the Western Empire opened up. These things can be said to have profound work experience. Li Cong is very relieved to hand over everything here to him, because the next expansion will be some very, scattered things. Li Tong will not be responsible for these things for the time being. It will be very nerve-racking to see these things, so let this guy do it well.

What is there to be happy about? This is just one province. I didn’t ask you to arrange this optional job. I asked you to arrange the job of the manager of the entire Eastern Empire. The xenophobic thinking of the empire is much stronger than that of the other three empires. Did you ever pass me in Xidi? There is also the protection of Prince Zheng and his help. In the Southern Empire, after our victory, not many people dared to fight against us, but in the Eastern Empire, it is estimated that the emperor issued an order to strangle our price adjustment list number. Of course, it’s not about killing the army on the front, but about business. The business of the Eastern Empire is very developed, and the merchant ship trade here is also very powerful. If we can’t integrate into this circle, we may be killed by them. Your future path But the female student who was very unclear said that the business of the Eastern Empire was indeed just as he said, every step of the way was a crisis or a benefit. (To be continued..)
