The light words mixed with the incomparable confidence were revealed bit by bit from Wu Feng's calm momentum. Even Shi Yawei, who had always been hostile to Wu Feng, couldn't help but feel sad, and Shi Yayin and Shi Yafu's eyes were full of joy. Such a man is called a man when he is intoxicated. Those self-proclaimed political elites who scheming and deceitful in the officialdom all day long are undoubtedly a group of clowns in front of this man. Looking at this man's low profile in the imperial political arena, But no one dared to underestimate him. Look at the panoramic view of Western Xinjiang behind him, from Northern Luzon to Tengger, from India to the Peninsula Alliance. Even in the heyday of the Tang River Empire, these places had never been conquered. He has extended his power to these places, but now they are all crawling at the feet of this person in front of him. I am afraid he is the only person in the entire empire and even the Eastern Continent who dares to boast like this.
"Your Highness, but you still need to be careful. Although those villains' methods are difficult to achieve, but once they cause harm, they will bring you irreparable losses. How can your rich body be compared with those people? If Your Highness needs , we heard that Xuexuan is also willing to provide loyal guards for His Highness to prove our sincerity." Shi Yayin's eyes moved, and she slowly stood up to express her attitude. This was undoubtedly a public oath of allegiance. Such an expression of attitude would not be perfect. There was no room for change. Shi Yayin was able to make such a statement naturally because of her father's authorization.
Nodding slowly, Wu Feng looked calm, "Miss Shi, I can feel the sincerity of your Shi family. But I don't need it in this regard yet. As for the current situation of your Shi family, I already know it. Xue Baiying's I have already asked someone to inform him. Your martial arts school can resume operations immediately. As for the Salt Monopoly Certificate, the position of Minister of Economic Development of the Empire has been vacant for now, but I have asked Mr. Zeng Guohong to inform the Economic Development Bureau of the Imperial Capital on your behalf. I believe it will be sent to you soon. But it doesn’t matter even if you don’t have the monopoly certificate. Jinzhong, Longquan, and Heishan are now under the rule of Western Xinjiang, and there are many things waiting to be done. If your Shi family is responsible for the salt affairs in these areas, If you are interested, you can develop there.”
"Your Highness, do you really mean what you said?" he asked in an almost trembling voice. The three women stood up at the same time, looking directly at Wu Feng, who was playing with the jade paperweight in his hand very leisurely, as if they couldn't believe that such a great thing happened. When it fell on herself, Shi Yayin couldn't help but tremble all over. You must know that everyone in the world knows the profits of this salt business, and the Shi family's salt business is not even ranked high in the imperial capital. Several major salt merchants in the imperial capital accounted for more than eight of the salt sales in the Zhongzhou area, and the remaining two were divided among a few retail households. The Shi family was just the larger one among several retail households, and could not compete with those big merchants. Compared with salt merchants, even so, most of the expenses of the Shi family and Ting Xuexuan come from this industry, which shows how profitable this industry is.
"Don't you hear Jun Wu's joke?" A meaningful sentence coupled with an ambiguous smile at the corner of his mouth. Shi Yayin and Shi Yafu, who had already been here for a long time, couldn't help but feel like deers, but the gift in front of them was too grand. Let alone the land of the three prefectures, if they could get the salt of the first prefecture of Jinzhong If they occupy a large part of the affairs, the strength of Ting Xuexuan and the Shi family can be doubled immediately. The Shi family can even get rid of the restrictions of the Jianghu sect, break away from the circle of right and wrong, and concentrate on developing into a real aristocratic family.
Wu Feng's assassination did not cause as much turmoil as imagined. Under Wu Feng's deliberate suppression, the public opinion media only pointed the finger at Situ Tai by insinuations and then slowly calmed down. This is an understatement of a story. Page Even Situ Tai himself felt strange. Although this assassination was not his fault, of course, this did not mean that he was not prepared to take such measures. It was just that the time was not yet ripe. He had always pursued the principle of either not doing it or doing it. One hit.
The people of the imperial capital are waiting day by day for the arrival of the new emperor's enthronement. All parties are actively preparing for the various changes that may be brought about by the new emperor's enthronement. At this time, the Central Continent, thousands of miles away, finally turned a new page of war.
The battle to siege Shuangdui Mansion has been going on for two days, and the Komini offensive has not weakened. Hu Yanqiu stood at the top of the city, his thick eyebrows furrowed and his eyes focused on the city in front. The burning crenellations and wooden catapults had been extinguished. Waves of green smoke are still emitting, and arrows and rocks are scattered here and there on the top of the city. Most of the rolling logs and rocks on the other side have also been consumed. The transport troops are constantly replenishing supplies from the city, and the engineering troops have already After seizing the time to repair the damaged defensive equipment, especially the ballistas and catapults, the Cominis were more prepared than imagined, and their combat effectiveness was quite good. They were not as vulnerable as many people imagined. At least the other party's bravery and strength in the past two days still won everyone's praise.
What worries Huyanqiu is not the fierceness of the Komini people. The entire legion, except for leaving one division to guard Zijingguan, all four divisions have retreated to Shuangdui Fucheng. Coupled with the full preparations made in the early stage, just by virtue of If the 200,000 or so Cominis under the city want to take over Shuangdui Fucheng, I'm afraid they won't have to think about it in a short time. Hu Yanqiu was worried about the Luzon people who had been standing still. Until now, the news coming from Huoshan Mansion and Vito Mansion was still calm. The Luzon people's army of 300,000 had been assembled and had begun to march north, gathering in Manchu. The number of forward troops in Longcheng has exceeded 150,000, and the whole city of Longcheng has been under martial law to block all news. The strictness is unprecedented according to the intelligence department. Except for the last intelligence, another 30,000 soldiers have entered. Outside Manlong, the intelligence department completely cut off the source of clues, and the entire Northern Luzon front line was completely blocked.
The news about the Luobei people is also a bit worrying. The Luobei people have completed their mobilization, and the vanguard has moved eastward along the northern trade route. Although the speed is not fast now, once their main force catches up, they can rush towards the target as quickly as possible. . Although His Highness the King of Qin has issued an order to temporarily abandon East Tengger County when necessary, what if the Luobei people are not satisfied with showing off their power in Tengger? Hu Yanqiu did not think that the Luobei people would continue to march eastward into the Northwest County, but they might invade the Xiyu County from the south, and his hometown might face the persecution of the Luobei cavalry. At present, in addition to some self-defense police forces in the Xiyu County There is no armed force at all, and no troops are stationed. Once the Luo Bei people break into the Western Regions, the Western Regions can be said to have no ability to defend themselves. They can only watch the Luo Bei people being cruel, but His Highness the King of Qin seems to have no idea about this. Not paying much attention to it. As a soldier, Hu Yanqiu naturally cannot disobey military orders, but watching helplessly as his hometown may be in danger, he cannot help but worry.
With a slight sigh, Hu Yanqiu forced himself to return his mind to the battlefield in front of him. Saibo, as the governor of the Western Region County, had sent an urgent letter to the Military Affairs Administration and the Prince of Qin's Palace, but he still had not received a reply, and he did not know. How could His Highness the King of Qin turn a blind eye to this imminent problem? Did he really intend to give up the Five Prefectures of the Western Region and wait until things turn around before taking it back? But with the mentality of the Luobei people, they would never occupy but only destroy and plunder. The accumulation of the Western Regions after suffering this disaster for many years will be reduced to ashes. Could it be that His Highness does not understand this? Or did His Highness originally intend to use the Luobei people to destroy some disobedient Westerners? This last idea only flashed in Hu Yanqiu's mind before being rejected. The Western Regions have now completely surrendered to the Western Xinjiang. Although there are still some so-called populists who seem reluctant to admit this reality, the tide of history has eliminated these People were pushed to the edge, and they were unable to stop this trend of national integration. Hu Yanqiu did not believe that His Highness, who had always been wise and wise, would make such a move.
Shaking his head, Hu Yanqiu did not want to think about this problem anymore. As a soldier, he must first consider matters within the scope of his responsibilities. Since being appointed as the commander of the Indian Army, he has actually become a pure senior officer of the Western Xinjiang Army. The commander is no longer an officer of Wusun in the Western Region. He needs to consider the strategy of the entire theater and even the Western Territory and can no longer mix his personal feelings into it.
It seems that the Komi people were only assigned the task of attacking Shuangdui City. They probably did not expect that such a city was actually guarded by four divisions, while the two important towns of Huoshan Mansion and Vito Mansion only had five divisions. The strength of the regiment, especially the newly built Volcano Mansion, and its location is particularly important. According to common sense, it should be the focus of prevention. However, this time it seems that the Western Xinjiang Army has focused its attention on the west against the Komini people. Compared with the central line and the The defenses on the eastern front seemed a bit weak. There are only three divisions stationed in Huoshan Mansion, and the defense facilities are not perfect. Once the Luzon people use all their strength, they are very likely to get a breakthrough here. Even Hu Yanqiu is a little worried. Fortunately, Helianbo also placed a The mobile division serves as a support between Volcano Mansion and Vito. This is a newly refitted rapid reaction division. It has been improved in terms of transportation and equipment and should be able to cope with various difficulties that may be encountered.
Just when Huyanqiu was suspicious of the Luzon people's intentions, Helianbo, who was in the Huoshan Mansion, was also confused. Although the news from the south was strictly blocked by the Luzon people, some clues could still be seen from some clues. .
