Chapter 2355: Let the Tiger Go Back to the Mountain

The people from the Cao’s House of Commerce have not launched the final fatal blow to the people of the Southern Empire. It’s not because they can’t beat them, but as long as the fight starts, it must be over at once, and it will definitely not be as procrastinated as before. Yes, this is not only understood by the people of the Cao Family Firm, but also by the Southern Empire and some other large forces. People from the other three empires originally thought that the capital of the Southern Empire could last for more than half a year. It's useless to compare with one, the door was opened from the inside, and then there are those damned eunuchs, they didn't do anything, they turned out to be scrambling to surrender to the people of Cao's house, of course, there are still Then some of the more loyal people, but what is the use, as long as the line of defense is broken even a little bit, the whole line of defense is useless, not only those eunuchs, but also some royal families in the Southern Empire are the same, at this time Abandoning the Southern Empire, in their view, such a thing is really useless, they can't be the opponents of Cao's firm, just look at their attack speed, if we follow them In other words, there is no other choice but to die here. The people of Cao’s House have already promised that as long as we don’t resist, they will give us a way to survive. It seems that it is not that simple now, but even if there is Then there is a glimmer of hope that they don't want to continue to hang around here in the Southern Empire, because such a broken ship has no future at all. If they continue to follow them, they will die here sooner or later, so they are unwilling. For them, these things in front of them are already very disturbing. The emperor of the Southern Empire recites the imperial decree several times a day. What is the difference between the imperial decree and the paper that wipes the buttocks at this time? Who would do such a thing? something. ...≦, they don't care at all, so they keep in contact with the people of Cao's House of Commerce, in order to hope that they can negotiate terms with them when Cao's House of House of Commerce finally attacks, and they all know it At this time, the people of Cao's House will find a few people to deal with themselves, and they will not come out to deal with themselves after everything here is over. Because they all feel that there is no need for this, and they all feel that it is easier to call directly. Of course, they have to bring some news when they surrender in the past, for example, there is a warehouse somewhere in the city or something. It's something else. Anyway, if you have such a thing in your hand, things will be easier to handle. If you don't, then I'm sorry. Our place is not a place to raise idlers, or you should continue to hang out with the Southern Empire for a while, anyway, we will go there to liberate you in a short time, such a statement can directly suppress them Damn, how could there be such a person, I brought so many good things here, why don't you appreciate it, if this is the case. We won't come here yet, which also makes many people go back directly. After all, how can there be so many secrets in the entire Southern Empire? Some of them have low status, where can I get them for you?

The people from the other three empires did not expect that the people from Cao's House would take down half of the capital so quickly. Originally, they still prepared a mobile unit. If the Southern Empire could really hold on for half a year If the above is the case, their army will bring a large number of foster care and so on. This is a tactical support, it can bring some hope to the people of the Southern Empire, and it can also let the people of the Cao Family Firm know that they will continue to support the Southern Empire. Such a battlefield is not the same as before. Yes, but now that mobile unit is basically useless. They can honestly get out and go home to rest. If they want to continue brushing here for a while, that is impossible.

As for what you want to do in the future, it has nothing to do with us, but after this battle, there are many different places, especially in the territory of the Eastern Empire. It has been affected to a certain extent, that is, the army of the Eastern Empire is not fighting as hard as before. They will find some middlemen to hope that the people of Cao's House can temporarily cease fire with them. Of course, it is the front line. The kind of ambiguous agreement between generals, such things will not be written on paper, because no one wants to become a living target in the future, everything needs to be done in private, and it happens to be in the east now. The imperial army is also in a hard fight, and each of them needs some time to cultivate. Since you have given us such face, if we don't take this opportunity to cultivate properly, I will be too sorry for you The filial piety, in fact, the reason why such a thing happened is because the Southern Empire was about to perish, and there was another voice in the Eastern Empire. If you continue to fight, there is no benefit. For them, these things in front of them are enough for them to drink a pot, and they don't want to continue doing this. Sometimes there is a way to survive. These people have listed various losses since the beginning of the war. This requires the Eastern Empire to develop the wealth accumulated for ten years in peacetime. Now all the one-year wars have entered. The most important thing is I also lost hundreds of counties on my own land, not one or two cities, but hundreds of counties, and their navy, basically all of them were killed overnight , It was made by the silver saved by the Eastern Empire. Now that there is nothing left, it is not that simple to get a navy out again, and they seem to understand something, that is themselves The manufactured ships are like paper in front of the warships of Cao's House of Firm. It is irresponsible to their own soldiers to continue to use things to fight against the people of Cao's House of Trade. In the war on land, although the people of the Cao's firm lost a lot, the loss ratio was as high as 1:25. This is the reason why some places fought well. After all, they also accounted for The right time, the right place, and the right people.

The ministers of the other faction of the Eastern Empire didn’t think so. They also carefully studied some of the tactics of the Cao’s firm, and they would definitely not compromise with them so easily. They must have other ideas. . If the current war ends like this, maybe I won't get anything in the end, and I still have to let them fight back. They have thought of such a thing. If this is the case, they You can do some other things. Each of these people in the Eastern Empire also felt the seriousness of the matter. They have already officially started to verify how these two things need to be done. Should they continue to fight the Cao family firm or fight the Cao family? The people in the commercial firm negotiate peace, what kind of price will be paid for this peace negotiation, these are some major issues, this is not something that people from Cao's commercial firm will happily come to negotiate with you if you just say a few words casually Yes, those people in Cao's House of Commerce have dealt with them for so many years, so they know a little bit about them. From their boss Li Cong to their young master Li Wei, which one will be a fuel-efficient lamp? They are all unscrupulous when they do things one by one. Of course, they just think so. In fact, the Li family and his son are quite good in the eyes of the common people, at least much better than those rich and unkind guys, otherwise there would not be so many common people supporting them when wars started in various places Their. There will not be so many difficulties when occupying some areas, and it is for these reasons. Only Cao’s House can afford to operate on this continent. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have thought so much about occupying other people’s land. At least now, conflicts between their soldiers and some local people rarely happen. Well, it's not as good as the Eastern Empire's own army clashing with the common people. Some of the things their soldiers can say most are that I was bleeding and sweating on the front line. What's wrong with bullying you here for a while. Why don't you go to the front line and try it, I really can't kill you. There are too many such things happening, so if some people in the Eastern Empire hear that there will be some soldiers around them, they will be scared one by one. You have to close your door. They won't come out at all. In their eyes, these soldiers are like poisonous snakes and beasts. As long as they come over, it is impossible to keep some valuable things in their homes. These guys Everything has to be taken away. This kind of thing happened many times before, and they were all scared of being bullied. Don’t let such a thing happen in the future. Everyone’s heart is like this Prayer, if everyone is doing things like this, what kind of military-civilian cooperation are you talking about? I guess it will be good if there is no fight. Even if they really go to the battlefield, I don’t know who these ordinary people are helping. These guys are so useless, bullying common people everywhere.

Many people in the upper echelons of the Southern Empire are also very puzzled at this time. Why don't these ordinary people unite to deal with these invaders? Why do they seem to be willing to work for these invaders? This is also something that can’t be helped. This matter has nothing to do with patriotism and the like. The main reason is that they all have to work hard here, because they also need to eat. At this time, they are We all understand that the economy of the Southern Empire has been destroyed, and almost everyone in the entire empire has no food to eat. No one cares about agricultural production. In the past, some people of insight still cared about this matter. , but now such a thing is gone, most people in the Southern Empire are concerned about this damn war, and most people don't think there will be any problems, but it is in this matter that they least care about Something went wrong, this year's grain output is not even one-tenth of the original, in other words, only 10% of the people in the Southern Empire have food to eat this year, and the rest basically don't have any Cao's Commercial Bank has so much food that they don't even know how much they have, and the food bases on several huge islands have also come out. Hundreds of millions of people have gone to farm, plus rty The mechanized production on the other side of the planet is definitely an astronomical figure. It is no problem to feed all the people in the Southern Empire. In the future, the Southern Empire will be a base of the Cao Family Firm, so within the entire empire, Some large-scale public utilities have begun to be constructed. This is a consensus among all the people in Cao's Commercial Bank. In the past, because these people still had their own affairs, even if the prices offered by themselves were relatively high , It is also difficult to find some people to do this. But it’s different now. Many people have no food to eat. Of course they want to come to Cao’s House to work, and they basically have 10 catties of grain in a day’s work. After they go back, their family members They can also eat enough, and this is not the first time for the people of Cao's Commercial Bank to use food as salary. Now that there is such a big famine, food can be said to be a more precious thing, and the most important thing is that the people of Cao's Commercial Company occupied a place and immediately restored the local food supply. There have been many such food in history. Crisis, but none of them did such a thing. They all raised the price of food to an astonishing level, but the people in Cao's Commercial Bank did not do that. In Li Wei's view, the majority of ordinary people There is nothing wrong with it, and they don't want such a war. It's just that some high-level people forced them to come in. They should have their own food, so the price is still the original fifteen cents a catty. The reason why the workers are given such a high salary is because they don't want to let too much It’s enough for people to starve to death, and this is the way to survive for them. Of course, if all of you don’t want such a thing, then I’m sorry. We will not give you relief food free of charge. It is estimated that no one will do such a thing.

In the past, Cao's House of Merchant would often distribute some free relief food to some disaster-stricken areas. But later found that this matter is not so good, because these things are free, they will take these things for granted, in their view, such things are very normal, before they did not It's all because of their bad luck, we have to enjoy it when we meet. The result is that these people have not been able to resume production for a long time, or even do not want to resume production. They feel very good when they receive some relief food every day. This is definitely not helping them. Instead, they changed from people who can work to people who can't work. For their whole life, it absolutely hurt them. If this is the case, Cao's House will change in the future. Without their action, basically such a thing will not happen, and they will not give these people similar help for free. We basically have everything here, and we can also provide you with some help. , Of course, everything needs to be done by yourself. We also have a large number of doctors and so on. If your family members have any illnesses, just bring them first. It is necessary to sign a contract, just go and work for us, and the debt can come slowly in the future. Of course, for some orphans and elderly people in the war, Cao's Commercial Bank will also build some living quarters for them Yes, as long as there were no major crimes in the past, you can come in to take care of you, but because it is a time of war, the losses of Cao's firm are relatively large, so it is impossible to take good care of you, of course Yes, there is no problem with eating enough. This also makes the people in the occupied area feel happy, because they have seen such a thing for the first time, and know that the government has other things besides the usual money. This is a huge change in their hearts. In fact, even some people who come to realize this matter don’t quite understand. What is tax collection from the people must be used for the people? They also feel that this is very strange. In the past, when the money was taken away, wouldn’t it belong to His Majesty the Emperor? How could it be used upside down for the common people? They couldn’t believe such a thing, but this is a fact. The people of the Southern Empire After researching for a while, I also know that this move of Cao's House is true, not some face-saving project. It is probably because of this reason that the people of the Southern Empire will not be fierce with the people of Cao's House. Those who resisted, under the management of the Southern Empire, they really didn't have a good life to live. Now the people of Cao's Commercial Bank really liberated them, and each of them felt that it was possible to live under the management of Cao's Commercial Bank. Their lives will be better, and it is because of this that Cao's firm can quickly occupy such a large piece of land without any blows. This may be the so-called good will be rewarded.

After resting for a period of time, Cao Jiashang's army marching into the city has reached 2.5 million people. They have already held the established base very stably. They have already formulated some battle plans. Basically, It is all about quickly occupying all the city wall positions, which is definitely not an easy thing to do. Because what we have to face is more than 40 million defenders. Although the number is very large, there is also a characteristic, that is, these people are basically scared out of their nerves, and each of them has no thought at all. The desire to resist is in their hearts. It will be a matter of time before the end of the Southern Empire, and they will never make any sacrifices for this empire that is about to end. Of course, some of them have another idea. In their hearts, they would rather die than die. If the tile is complete, they will live and die with the Southern Empire. Just when the staff of the Cao Family Firm were about to formulate a battle plan, a team of peacemakers appeared from the palace of the Southern Empire. They hoped that they could fight with the Cao Family Firm. Negotiate. The answer Li Wei gave them was to surrender immediately and unconditionally. Apart from this, we will not negotiate with you in any form, and we will not pay anything. If the peace talks are still going on, it would be a bit too sorry for our sacrificed soldiers. The court of the Southern Empire should never exist. The intelligence department of Cao's House already knew the emperor's thoughts. He still wants to keep everything he owns, and hopes that the people from Cao's House can give them this face. They will also completely obey the orders of Cao's House in the future. It's just that we gave you this condition before. If you mix with the other three empires, you will have the strength to defeat us. But in the end, you didn't achieve anything, but we all did it, and now you are still dreaming of such a beautiful dream, I really don't know what you are thinking in your mind, these people alone One goes back as one came here. Even the one who answered them was a group leader of Cao’s House. It’s impossible to have an interview with Li Wei. In fact, their conditions are not many. There is only one, that is, they hope to retain the original Southern Empire. For the imperial court, Cao’s House of Commerce also has this item in its plan, but it’s definitely not for keeping the court in front of it. Prince Xian already has almost contact with Cao’s House of Commerce. This guy is a good candidate. In the future, the Southern Empire will also exist, and the emperor of the Southern Empire also belongs to this prince, but there are two more state affairs assistants beside him. It is a bit unrealistic to fully take over the Southern Empire with the current ability, and they don't have that kind of ability. It is necessary to support a puppet, but this object must not be the current emperor. You have to find a new one, and such a person will accept your control.

Ever since he retreated on the battlefield that day, Prince Xian never thought that he would have such good luck. How could such a thing come to him directly? For him, he thought his life It's come to an end with everything, he thought he could rely on his army to deal with the people of Cao's House for a while, which is why he retreated with his army at the beginning, but after a few hours More than half of the people who fought him lost more than half of them, and it was only a matter of time before all the losses were completed, so this guy didn't make any unnecessary sacrifices, and his people surrendered directly. It's a prince, the people from Cao's House will definitely search the entire palace immediately, and in the end I just follow them into the prisoner-of-war camp with nothing left. They just surrounded their own palace. I thought they were going to start a search, but they didn’t do anything. They actually protected their palace. After all, after such a war, almost There is no law and order to speak of. There are too many people here taking advantage of the fire to rob, and Prince Xian's army has encountered a major blow. It is obviously useless for them to protect Prince Xian's mansion. Could it be that I have done nothing to them What's the use? This was Prince Xian's first thought, such a thing would be thought of by anyone, and soon he understood what was going on, and some high-level executives from Cao's House came to visit one after another This guy, of course the tallest is Min De, and he is very clear about Min De. Before Minde said anything, this guy understood what was going on. To put it bluntly, the government he formed basically had no rights at all. It was just a superficial form, a transition That's it, because the Cao's House of Commerce still doesn't have the ability to directly manage such a huge empire. I still need this guy now, who will tell me what it will look like in the future, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any rights at all, Prince Xian feels that this is a good thing. A prince, but after the people from Cao's House of Commerce take over, he can become the emperor himself. Although it will make many people in the royal family feel that he has betrayed them, what's the matter. In the past, I could only think about that seat in my heart, as long as I said it, it would be a fatal disaster, but now it is different, I can get on that seat, and being a puppet emperor is more important than being a puppet emperor. The prince with real power is much better. I really didn't expect that I would have such good luck in the end. This guy happily agreed to this matter. There are dozens of princes. How can I have such good luck? It's really good that the people of Cao's House have taken a fancy to me. I have to do a good job in this matter for others.

After receiving the promise from Cao's House, Prince Xian immediately began to attract some royal power. Now the old emperor is useless, and when the capital is brought down, he will have nothing left. If you follow me now, you will definitely be a hero, and I can't guarantee anything else. Your current title and everything can be reserved for you. Many nobles let their representatives enter Prince Xian's mansion immediately after hearing the news. They also want to leave a way out for themselves, don't they? The reply from Cao's House was that you will be aristocrats in name in the future, and it is impossible for the government to pay to support you. Even people like Prince Xian can only be his direct descendants, and the others are nominal nobles, who can only receive part of the living expenses from the court every year, and the rest is your own business. So you All of your family property will be confiscated. Now you only need half of it. This is a great way to give you face. Of course, you can also choose not to cooperate. In this case, we have a reason to take it all away. These Among the nobles, there was a guy who yelled at the people of Cao's House as robbers, so why should he take half of his family property? This guy is a duke, and maybe he was older among the nobles in the past He is used to being overbearing. He thought that the people of Cao's House would need nobles like them to come out to stabilize the situation in the future, so he really regarded himself as a piece of cake. This guy even wanted to talk to the senior management of Cao's House. In the end, Cao's House of Business didn't give him any chance at all, and immediately asked someone to search this guy's home. This guy is like other ordinary people. If he wants to work, I will give you some Workers, if you don’t work, then you can go to the side and go hungry. As for the so-called rights you want, I’m really sorry. I really can’t give you here. What is needed is some obedient people, not people who want to come out from time to time to realize their own existence. For such people, Cao's House of Commerce does not have any good face for you. We also feel very embarrassed to do such a thing Yes, don't give us a chance next time. To be honest, people in the royal family of the Southern Empire were immediately dumbfounded when they heard the news. They thought that Cao's House of Commerce would seek them out, and that's exactly what happened. People need their help, but you should also see your current position clearly, can you all mess around? Is this the time for you to mess around? That is absolutely impossible, now you have no role at all except to be honest and obedient, and what we want to do to you is also very easy, you'd better not do it indiscriminately Some decisions are better, otherwise, I will definitely let you drink a pot in the future, and you are not willing to drink it before it is over. No matter when you want to make a condition, you must know how old you are. weight, otherwise such a thing would not exist.

The person in the palace basically knew what was happening outside. It was really hard for him to accept these things. Before the city gate was breached, all these people were still in front of him. He tried to scold the people in Cao's house for being so hateful, but now they all ran to their side. And you started to quarrel over a small job over there. You are all the royal family of the empire. In the past, you were all dragons and phoenixes. You are definitely the highest ruling class in the empire. Do you put down your worth so much for your own life? The most terrible thing is that my sons also want to go there. In the past, you were all princes. Now he even wants to do that. His Majesty the Emperor wanders alone in the entire palace. In the past, he didn't care about any of the scenic spots in the palace. Although many places are trying to please him, but Now these are no longer needed, and I don’t want to continue to stay in such a place. This place will soon belong to others. After they come in, I want to take a look at it. It’s a luxury, so now I go more. Just go. The people below are already in panic. Either this person disappeared today, or that person disappeared tomorrow. The inside of the palace has already become like this. I don’t know how chaotic it will be outside. The guards themselves don't trust them much anymore. It was an honor for a family to be a royal guard in the past, but now it seems that it is simply impossible. The emperor saw that some people not far away were still yelling. If they were in the past, they would never have such courage. But it's different now, these people don't pay much attention to themselves now, and when they saw him coming, they all hurried away. In the past, they would have already run to their own eyes and knelt down to plead guilty. Maybe they also feel that they are no longer the emperor. Forget it, don't continue to be that annoying emperor. After the emperor returned to his main hall, he selected tens of thousands of absolute elites, and the emperor made an order. Going to escape the summer heat... It sounds very nice. Going out of the city to escape the summer heat is heading towards the only north. The people of the three empires have also said that if the emperor is really willing to go there, they can also give affirmation. In their hands, an emperor of the Southern Empire can do a lot of things, and their brains are not all fools. In the past, he thought it would be too shameful if he left like that, but now I don’t have that idea anymore. In fact, it’s nothing. What can I do by myself? It’s much better than being a prisoner here. The people below are dumbfounded. His Majesty the Emperor is about to flee. People absolutely support His Majesty the Emperor. In their hearts, they all think that this is just a temporary thing. Nothing will happen. They will all come back in the future, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong of the place.

The people from Cao's House also received the news. For them, they were very surprised to receive the news, because they thought that the emperor would probably fight to the end with them. Although there are surrenders everywhere in the city, But his core army will have at least hundreds of millions of people. If there is a real fight, the result will not be very good. It is for this reason that each of them will have such an idea, but His Majesty the Emperor There is another reason for doing this, that is, he has clearly told these people that there will be no more battles in the future, and this capital city can be regarded as an artistic treasure. It's all possible. If wars are carried out in the city, the city may be destroyed. They will not be such sinners. In the past, it was the era of cold weapons, and these weapons would not be harmful to the city. It caused too much damage, but it's different now. If they really fight, these hot weapons can definitely bury the entire capital. If it wasn't because of the magic shield that lasted for a while, Now it is estimated that there is no such thing as the city wall of the capital. For the emperor's idea, Li Wei absolutely supports it. The guy was intercepted, so that it can hit the other three empires even more, and make their emperors feel so terrible. In fact, this can also be considered from another aspect. If the three emperors Each of them felt their own sorrow, and they might fight to the end in the future, which would be a great loss for Cao's House, and the people of Cao's House didn't want their enemies to be like that They are very powerful, and they will feel very depressed when such a thing happens in the end. It is better not to have such a thing happen, otherwise there may be big things in the future. People don't know how much it will take to take down the entire continent. Li Wei's order to the following is to cease fighting for 24 hours, get out of the way, and let the emperor use his last army to go out, and then launch an attack on the entire city Occupation, as long as all those who resist are taken down, the emperor should just let him go. Don't make things too difficult for them in the future. The position of the prince is not very secure. There is an emperor outside. He seems to be a counterfeit. I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and some rebels in the country will definitely unite with the emperor. When I got up, it was even more difficult to do at that time, but after analyzing it, if this guy doesn't leave, the loss on my side will be even greater, so I just let this guy go away quickly, as long as this guy leaves In the future, if there is any problem, just deal with it slowly. Sometimes letting the tiger go back to the mountain is also a necessary choice. If I don’t do that, I may be in trouble. (To be continued..)
