Chapter 2269 Great Victory

For these so-called nobles of the Northern Empire, Li Wei can't even look down on them from the corner of his eyes. No matter what these people do, the first thing they don't forget is that they are all nobles, and they seem to be much higher than others Similarly, such a thing is uncomfortable for anyone. If you have the upper hand, it is your own business to do what you want to do, but is this the situation you think it is now? That's absolutely impossible, just look at your appearance and you'll know what's going on, sometimes you have the final say on many things, just like now, the people from Cao's House are in charge of the whole thing , then since you are in a subordinate position, you should understand what you are doing, instead of wanting to be the master in a daze, not knowing the situation, and thinking that you are someone else's uncle at the beginning. Uncle is naturally respectful, but you, uncle, don't know where he came from, why should he respect you? If you really recognize your relatives indiscriminately, your seniority is really too young, all the royal families of the Northern Empire are your relatives, how will you invade your land in the future? I don't want all your wealth? That is impossible. If I want to become the king of this land in the future, this is what I have to do. As for the other relationships, you can save yourself. Seeing that Li Wei has no intention of coming up to greet you Meaning, the Duke of the Northern Empire could only dismount and walk in by himself. The regulation of Cao's House of Firm was that no one else could ride in except for the generals on his own side. Pinshu.com (w W W . V o Dtw . c o M) Of course, if these soldiers go out to perform combat missions, that is also possible. As for other people, if you dare to rush in on horseback, you can let them go If you look at the power of our gatekeepers, they will definitely let you know how uncomfortable your life is, and they will definitely beat you down, no matter how high your status is or how powerful you are sharp. This rule is the tiger's ass. Unbelievable, if you want to try, we will accompany you. The soldiers on both sides immediately pulled out their sabers when they saw this guy dismounted. Make a passage for this guy on his way. Your head is the sword. This is what makes you bow your head. If you don't bow your head, you probably won't be able to keep your own hair. Anyway, Li Wei made it clear today that he didn’t want to give the Northern Empire any face, and let you all understand that the people in our Cao’s firm are not easy to bully. Your little princess from the Northern Empire is indeed my grandfather’s wife, and she can be regarded as one of my grandpas. , But this does not mean that you can do whatever you want. Look at what you have done in the recent period. You just let the troops of the Eastern Empire and the Western Empire attack the troops of the Cao Family Firm on your territory. This is What kind of behavior is it? Fortunately, we still helped you so much in the past. If you really don’t want to live this life, you don’t need to continue to live this life. In the future, I will definitely make you look good , now that your plots have been ruined by us on the battlefield, it is time for you to taste such an insult. Li Wei sat happily in his seat and watched all this. People in the Northern Empire were a little terrified Looking at all this in front of you, you must know that on this planet, this is the treatment for the defeated, and they have not yet been defeated.

"What does this mean? What do you want to do? I am the Imperial Duke of the Great Northern Empire, and I have my own seat on this continent. If you do that, it will cause disputes between us. Call your Supreme Commander Come out, I don't believe that the people of Cao's House are so disrespectful, if I pass this kind of treatment to our capital,

Our emperor, His Majesty, will immediately seal up all the properties of your Cao family firm. Don't you want to do business in our Northern Empire? If the land of our Northern Empire is missing, I think your business will shrink a lot. You have to figure out who is standing in front of you? "The duke said loudly, he had already seen Li Wei, and Li Wei was sitting on the opposite side of this passage, looking at this side while eating, as if he was watching a play, my God, could it be that I Does it look like a clown? This person is too crazy. I have never seen such a person. If I had to pull this guy out in the past, I would have broken the car. The Duke of the Empire is really rude. Didn't his old man tell him who I am? I belong to your uncle. How could he do things like this? He thought that Li Wei would come to entertain him after he had spoken. How can I say that I am also the Duke of the Northern Empire? If this is a peace talk, my words now represent the attitude of the Northern Empire. Besides, do the people from Cao's House really dare to defeat the armies of the two empires? Is it impossible to attack the Northern Empire immediately? How could they be so powerful? Don’t all soldiers need to rest? Even if the soldiers’ combat effectiveness is very good, there is another problem. What about their food and other things? This is absolutely impossible. These damned guys will have their own ideas. The gambling houses around Li Wei have no intention of going there. This guy Hong Lie originally I should attend such an occasion, but this guy is more interested in weapons, and now he is transforming some shells to make them more powerful, so this matter should not be here today, we are not like that So I don’t want to bring Lao Tzu here, I’d better just look at my weapons, the company commander at the door is Li Wei’s guard company commander, he glanced at Li Wei not far away, obviously He didn't mean to come over, so he walked over and said, "Sir, this is our rule. Although you people in the Northern Empire have not been defeated, we treat everyone like this, so if you want to make peace , please go through here, this is your way. "After this guy finished speaking, the soldiers around said loudly, "Please walk over here, this is your way. "The duke almost lost his breath when he heard this voice. What the hell are you talking about? This is my way. I really haven't been defeated. If it goes like that, how much will there be after this time? Those bastards are waiting for Yu Shi to impeach him. If his seat is vacant, there will be many people who will not come up. The Northern Empire was defeated. That is absolutely impossible. There was absolutely no defeat in the Northern Empire, absolutely nothing.

"No, who are you? What right do you have to speak to me. Are you equal to me? I told you. Tell your supreme commander to come to me. That's the man, he's sitting there, you go Tell him. If he does not come, there may be a huge war waiting for you? I am here to hope that the flames of war will not be brought to our people. Our Northern Empire is a peace-loving country. Our army does not We will be dispatched casually, but we will not let others bully us. Your behavior today has already constituted an act of going to war. If you continue like this, I will tell you clearly that it will be a very dangerous situation. The tens of millions of troops of our Northern Empire will wipe you out. Don’t think that you will be invincible after defeating the armies of the Eastern and Western Empires. They are also a group of mobs, and they They all traveled thousands of miles to this place, and they don't have much fighting power anymore. We are different from them. Our troops are all born and bred here, and they are very familiar with everything here. They can fight in this place. If you don’t want to go to war with our powerful army, call that guy over.” He almost roared, although he has no status in the capital, he is here to represent No one from the Northern Empire can ignore me like this. This is like killing me. I belong to the nobles of the Northern Empire. Although the power of the Cao Family Firm is huge, your old man Li Cong is also from the Northern Empire. I know he is a hereditary earl, but I belong to a duke, and he is also younger than me in name. What kind of attitude do you have? You will just be an earl in the future. He really can’t Tolerating Li Wei's gaze, I feel like a monkey, and that child-like person seems to have put a lot of pressure on me, making me feel very uncomfortable all over. It can't go on anymore, the company commander didn't mean to run over to report back to Li Wei at all, he glanced at Li Wei's side, Li Wei still had the same expression, he knew that the duke in front of him was just a duke It’s just an ordinary visitor, and it’s his job as a security guard to deal with such things. This guy said, “I’m sorry, what is this... um... By the way, it’s the Duke, we are not like this here You are called, so I am not very clear about such things. Our young master is already waiting for you there. You should understand the so-called do as the Romans do. If you don’t follow our rules today, I think this Things will not have a result, of course, as for the things you said, there is no problem, you can start at any time, what you want to do is your own business, those are your freedom, You can do whatever you like, just like now, you can go over and talk to our young master, or turn around and go back, as for what war you said we won, there is no problem, I am a rough People, don't understand this. "The guy said with a smile, and the other soldiers didn't say anything. Although there were a few majors beside them, they didn't say anything. This matter has nothing to do with them.

"You....Do you know that what you said just now may cause a war between our Northern Empire and your Cao's firm. You are just a junior officer. Can you decide such a thing?" The Duke was trembling with anger. Well, such a person is just a third-class guard in his own mansion. Usually, he would not take a second look at such a person, but today he is such a person. I really don't know what's going on in his mind after I said such ugly words. Seeing such a person, I really feel full without wanting to eat for a day. The Duke really wants to turn around and leave, but thinking of this The cannon of Cao's House, he actually knew why he came to this place when he came. I came here to ask for peace, to compromise, and now is not the time for me to say anything, as long as everything here can be stabilized, it’s okay to lose someone, but now This situation is that I don't see any meaning of peace at all, but I want to lose a big person here. This kind of thing makes me feel very uncomfortable, and it's nothing to be ashamed. But there has to be hope anyway. If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter eagles, we are, how can you see a rabbit now, how can such a thing happen, the situation is basically deadlocked at this time. But Li Wei is also a person who will seize the opportunity. At this point, basically everything I have to do is done. This guy is also a shame, although he didn't really come from this place, but it's been such a long time. It's basically enough for me to mess around, just like what he said, I really can't continue the war now, there is nothing wrong with millions of troops, but the reserve of shells has reached an emergency point, and there is no need at all. I don't have so many reserves anymore. If I don't do it well, I may really make these people angry. At that time, everything I have obtained before may become nothing. He is very happy with such a thing. It is clear, especially for such a guy who is not very clear-headed, but Li Wei can't take the initiative to go out and tear this thing apart. In that case, he will become the person who shows weakness, that is not allowed Yes, these people can't let these people think that the people of Cao's house will fail. Li Wei looked at the entourage of the Duke who was on the side. This is the time for you people to do things. I saw one of them The guy walked up to the duke's ear and said a few words, the duke nodded, and then the duke was not feeling well, he wanted to find a doctor or something, and the rest of the people had to come from this The passage passed, and both sides took a step back. Besides the Duke, there was also an Earl and two Viscounts in the team. These people were considered nobles of the Northern Empire, and some of them also wanted to pretend to be sick. Yes, but the company commander's hand crossbow is already aimed at them. It is our greatest gift to keep your Lord Duke from going here. What are you people? Do you think you have the ability not to go here? ? If this is the case, the words of our Cao's firm will have no deterrent effect at all. What are we doing, we must not be cheap, you bastards, absolutely not.

This can be regarded as a small episode, but it just made the people in the Northern Empire very uncomfortable. Just now, they all came over with their heads down. Some of them wore hats and even took photos of their own hats. This is It's a matter of etiquette, they were all forced to salute, and each one of them was naturally uncomfortable, and when they saw Li Wei now, these people didn't show any good looks, and each one of them felt uncomfortable. With a straight face, Li Wei naturally didn't intend to deal with them. Seeing the unwell Duke walking in slowly, he just nodded. This etiquette is not bad. Others Many people don't even have this, Li Wei asked his throat and said, "Everyone, we are sitting here today to solve a matter, we might as well open the skylight and speak honestly, now you are here because you are afraid of us People from Cao’s House want to attack you, don’t tell me what you just said outside, why do you have tens of millions of troops in the Northern Empire, I also have my own intelligence organization, and the southern part of your Northern Empire is basically covered by those Eastern The ruined soldiers of the empire can't find the north. Now you are all exhausted. If my army presses up, I believe that about a dozen counties can be taken in ten days. At that time, you must be more difficult to explain to your court. I will never lie, my army is also very tired, and they don’t want to fight, but if I tell them that I can give They pay three times the salary to attack a few cities with less than 5,000 defenders. As long as they win it, they will get a bigger reward. If our Cao's house attacks, you all know it, it will be a rapid development. , you know how our people attack, that's right, we will use artillery to blow up there directly. In the concept of our Cao's firm, as long as it can be done with artillery shells, we will not let us The soldiers of the Eastern Empire went up to take risks. It is said that the routs of the Eastern Empire did a good job. It has already weakened your control over the south. These bandits are everywhere. If my army goes there again If so, I think you may not be able to control the affairs of the south. This is definitely not what you want, so I think it is better for you to agree to my idea quickly. I may be more direct when I speak. But this is also a way of saving our time. If it can’t be done like this, you don’t know what to do, don’t you? Sometimes things need to be done like this, and both of us need to talk. Of course. This Negotiations will inevitably have a weaker party, and your Northern Empire is that weaker party. If you don't get involved in this matter, there will be nothing for you. Now you have made a mistake. You have to take responsibility Responsibility." What Li Wei said didn't give them any face. These people in the Northern Empire wanted to stand up and say something one by one, but they still had their last shred of reason, and they all knew that it was not allowed to speak casually at this time. If you really anger this person in front of you, it will bring great danger to your own empire. If the army of Cao's House of Firms starts from here, things may happen in the Southern Empire. They don't want to The entire empire was in chaos.

The Duke of the Northern Empire is not a fool either. He is very clear that what Li Wei said is true. Now the southern part of the Northern Empire is not in chaos at all, it can almost be said to be extremely chaotic. It can only manage the county town. The county towns and towns below are already in disarray. Tens of millions of troops rushed in. Basically, there is no foster care. What can they do? But some are armed with knives and guns. All they have to do is to feed their stomachs, so they all started to rob houses. This is already something that soldiers can’t do, so they have to do it even more. Those The women have also suffered. If it was just robbery, those people in the Northern Empire would not really dare to fight against the army, but if something happened to their sisters and wives, if they were still like a turtle , What’s the matter, these people also started to fight back, and the bloodshed just started. When the defeated soldiers of the Eastern Empire faced the army of Cao’s House, they were just a bunch of rats, and they were useless at all. Of course, Their escape speed is relatively fast, otherwise they would not be able to enter the Northern Empire, but these people are different when they face the common people of the Northern Empire, they can beat several of these common people even if they are hungry , Such "bravery" is not seen on the battlefield, but it is seen in this place. Basically, there is no military power below the county seat of the Northern Empire. How can it be possible to block these people? The Northern Empire Although the army has already started to move, but these are tens of millions of troops, not a small number. If you want to get them all out, it is impossible. It's for the sake of eating, and the troops of the Northern Empire don't want to fight against them. Being a soldier is nothing more than filling their stomachs, but if they really go up and work hard, I don't want to. I went, so Li Wei said these words are also telling the truth. If the army of Cao's House of Commerce passes by at this time, maybe the southern part of the Northern Empire will lose contact with the central government. Those who win two or three provinces, if the close combat is quick, the rout of the Eastern Empire may be even bigger. The provinces in the border areas are not important. If they really rushed to the central region, this Things got really serious. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor would never let him off lightly. It is better to agree to the conditions that they have now. Besides, with today's posture, there is absolutely no possibility of a second round. Negotiations, no wonder many people have accepted them. Negotiations with the people of Cao’s House are only the chance to say yes or no. If you give up this opportunity, there will be no chance at all in the future. These damned guys But I will never give you a second chance, so everything needs to be grasped carefully, otherwise, I will really regret it to death. The rest of the team basically entered the state of meditation at this time Now, I absolutely can't talk too much about such things. If these guys remember this, it will be their own business when I go back in the future. Absolutely not, it's all the fault of the Duke, just follow us But it doesn't matter.

one hour later. The signing of the "Agreement of Friendship between Cao's House and the Northern Empire" was completed. Although it was signed by a duke of the Northern Empire, this guy carried the great seal of the Northern Empire. In this era, when an imperial envoy of a dynasty goes out to do business, he will Those with the seal of the imperial court have had this habit in the past. It is better than the feudal dynasties on earth. It respects the spirit of the contract very much. For them, as long as it is signed, it is considered His Majesty the Emperor also needs to abide by it. The last time the people of Cao's House fought against the Southern Empire. The people from the Southern Empire tore up the contract, and immediately wanted to seize the property of the Cao family firm. At that time, people from the other three empires hated this very much, even if they were enemies. But as long as you have a contract in your hand. It can't be done that way either. Now that the Southern Empire has recovered, apart from the punishment given to them by the people of Cao's House, there are many other punishments. There is such a one among them, as long as the merchants of several other countries deal with the people of the Southern Empire, they will pay both money and money, and there will be absolutely no debts. You must know that in the process of business, debts It can be regarded as a way. If a person has no debts, it is absolutely impossible to do big business. He can only do some business within his own range. Such a thing is not good for anyone. How comfortable, they all understand this matter very well, and the people of the Southern Empire also feel very strange about this practice of the court. At the beginning, the court of the Southern Empire thought that they would definitely defeat Cao's firm, but In the end, he was defeated by others. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he directly became a subsidiary of Cao's House of Commerce. This kind of thing was also seen by the other three empires. The ability of an empire to go to war in an all-round way, the Northern Empire now also thinks of the Southern Empire at that time, they absolutely do not want such a thing to happen, they just want to settle this matter, the contract is basically in accordance with According to Li Wei’s statement, the first one is that the Northern Empire should apologize to the people of Cao’s House of Commerce. Of course, this should be used as a benchmark. The people of the Northern Empire cannot resist. The problem is that the 10 counties in the south and 70 million people should be handed over to Cao's house for "management". The time limit is 199 years. The checkpoint of the commercial firm collects 5% of the total amount of goods each time as a tax. Of course, the Cao’s Commercial Firm also has its own obligations. Among them, the monsters and bandits will be wiped out. In fact, there is nothing now. Their army is all active in this generation, and there are no monsters and bandits to come out, unless they are the kind of desperate guys, otherwise they will not appear. The fourth item is to compensate the military expenditure of 10 billion silver for the Cao Family Commercial Bank. These are all necessary things, and the people of the Northern Empire also feel that this contract is very humiliating, but can they have any other solutions? Take a look at the cannons of the Cao's House outside. If you say nothing, you will probably be in trouble at the end. All these people will be in trouble, and you don't know what to do when you go back. How to explain it, no matter what, someone will be sacrificed, this is the law.

Li Wei didn't mean to keep them for dinner, but after all, these people have helped him a lot. It's very old-fashioned to invite people to dinner. When they go out, everyone has I bought a small gift, which is not so expensive, each person is less than three million silver, and they will all face the anger of the Northern Empire court after returning, especially those censors inside the court. These people have nothing to do when they are full, and they are dedicated to causing trouble. As long as these guys find a little problem, they will immediately call out. If they are asked to really do something, these people can't do anything. They It's just that I have a good mouth, and then I have to act in accordance with the laws of the empire and criticize other people. They don't know what happened on the front line one by one. If this continues, the remaining people But it is impossible to have a good end, these people also know that what they do is not very authentic, and they are notorious among officials, but there is no way not to, if they don’t do such things now It will be even more difficult when the time comes, and they can't do anything about it. If they want to be promoted, they have to find other officials. This is an offending thing for other officials. will do it. But they definitely don't think that way, they all know clearly that this is a channel for them to ascend, and it must be done well. The Duke and the others don't mean to be happy when they receive this gift, but no one Those who returned this thing, speaking of it, they all think of their own empire in their hearts. In the past, they all collected money from the Cao's house. According to the rules, they have reached the level of the Duke. It doesn't matter whether it is useful to Cao's house or not. There are 200,000 silver enshrined every year. This is a matter of etiquette. There are more than 400 dukes in the Northern Empire. Just for such a matter of face, Cao's Commercial Bank spends nearly hundreds of millions of silver every year. This guy has also been enshrined by Cao's firm for nearly five years. One million silver is not a big amount to him. But for ordinary people, it is a sum that they will never get in a lifetime. He is very depressed now, and he doesn't get much benefit. Such an infamy can be regarded as a setback, and I really regret that I didn’t sign a contract with the people of Cao’s House at the beginning. At that time, I might not have suffered such a heavy loss. The conditions offered that time were only half of this time. Yes, if that's the case, maybe I won't be as ugly as I am now when I go back, but these people all have their own skills, and one of them said that the conditions of the Cohiba Cao's house are so much better. I doubled, and when I went back, I said that they fought hard and finally got the current contract. If it weren't for their credit, I don't know how to solve this matter now. When the Duke heard that this person is simply a talent , How could there be such a powerful person? Why didn’t I hear about it? I quickly praised this guy. This guy is really good. If it wasn't for this guy who said he wanted to give Cao's House a little color, how could he procrastinate? Now it seems that he doesn't need it, and it's not bad.

The war here is basically over like that. Originally, this matter was a dangerous matter for the Cao's House of Commerce, but it is completely different now. Now the army of the Cao's House of Trade has an absolute advantage. For them, there is nothing to think about now, but their enemies need to think about it. People from the Four Great Empires and some other large organizations are re-evaluating the war potential of Cao's House In the past, I knew that the people of Cao's House had a great advantage in fighting in coastal areas, but now it seems that it is impossible. Sometimes these people think that way. They thought they had taken advantage of the disadvantage of living in Cao's House, and this time they all saw the gap between them and Cao's House. This is really a big one, and they want to make up for it. This gap is not that simple. They thought that the giant crossbow was a sharp weapon against Cao's House before, but now it seems that this thing is of little use, because the people of Cao's House are already It can deal with this thing, that is, it can bring certain dangers to the people of Cao's Commercial Bank at the beginning, and there will be no danger in the future. This kind of thing made the people of Cao's Commercial Bank find a way to defeat him They may need to research a more powerful weapon. These people are also surprised by the transportation capacity of Cao's House. In the past, it would take at least twice as long to transport so many troops as it does now. This must have happened in the recent period. The last time Cao's firm fought in the capital of the Western Empire was not so powerful, but now it is suddenly so powerful. This is simply impossible. In fact, it is all because of the airship Adopting a fully enclosed model in the sky, and reforming the propeller, the current airship can almost reach a full-load speed of 500km per hour. If it is empty, this speed will definitely be faster, especially in war Morale, this speed can do a lot of things, just like now, this time if the army reinforcements from Cao's Commercial Bank hadn't arrived so quickly, it is estimated that those people would not have set off such a powerful counterattack one by one Well, these people also have their own ideas in their minds, and sometimes they do some good things. For example, they have learned to research now, but in the end, everything about the enemy has been researched. , but how to deal with it, they don't know about this matter, this is a very terrible matter, if you can know how to do this matter, it will be easier to handle, but unfortunately, you don't know how to deal with it now. How to do it, what is the purpose of the research? Have a problem with your brain? It took a lot of money and energy to study this thing, not only some people in the military department, even some people in the military department have begun to study this matter, they put down their work, and finally found that A bunch of useless things have been researched. Of course, it cannot be said that they are useless. At least they have scared them. This fact is a fact. Of course, fortunately, the research results have not been released. There are some problems with this matter, and it is estimated that the common people of several great empires will start to panic.

Although the war was over, Li Wei didn't relax in any way. All the soldiers could have a good rest, and good wine and food were delivered, but these prisoners of war didn't have such a good thing. What people have to do is another thing, to build some defensive measures on the spot, and at the same time, some supplies from the headquarters also need to be arranged there. Those things need people to do, and now this thing is also It must be carried out, otherwise if the enemy comes to counterattack, he will suffer a loss. Of course, this counterattack will not come so easily.

The people of the Eastern Empire still have a terrible thing to do, and that is what to do with the soldiers who are messing around in the Northern Empire. The mission of the Eastern Empire has already started, and they must give the people of the Northern Empire A reasonable explanation is all that is needed, otherwise the people in the Northern Empire will go mad. (To be continued..)
