The romantic affair of His Highness King Qin, who is regarded as a national hero by the people at the bottom of the empire, has always been the focus of the people in Western Xinjiang and even the entire empire. Even many official media in neighboring countries have paid more attention to this matter than others. From being engaged to the seventeenth princess of the empire and rumored to have a lifelong private engagement with Angel of the Huey family, one of the three most beautiful flowers in the imperial capital, and becoming the consort of the Jeroke principality, to having a secret love affair with Miss Yuhu of the Lin family of Sanjiang, there are countless other secret versions in between. For example, the ambiguous relationship between Leng Ruoxing, who has always been alone as a sister-in-law of the Tianshan Sect, and His Highness the King of Qin has been widely spread in the martial arts world. What is the connection between the three concubines of the Shi family and His Highness the King of Qin is also reported by those in the imperial capital. The best thing to watch in the tabloid publication is whether the piano fairy Yao Lian is related to an attempted assassination against His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and what role the frozen rose Zhu Zimei played in the alliance between the Zhu family and Xijiang. All of this is the best chat material for the people of the empire who like this kind of news. As a result, many newspapers and periodicals often sell out as long as they have an issue about the emotional secret history of His Highness King Qin, but without this kind of information, sales plummet. As a result, many tabloids sometimes have to make random speculations and fabricate information in this regard to seek sales.
But this time the news seems to be not groundless, because according to reliable information, this is the news that His Highness King Qin accidentally revealed during a conversation with the business gentry, and it was confirmed by many well-known gentry and wealthy businessmen present. .
The gentry and merchants who attended the banquet were immediately overflowing with guests. Of course, most of the people who came to ask for confirmation were reporters from newspapers and media, and there were also political figures among them. After all, they paid more attention to this matter than others, and His Highness King Qin seems to have never made such a statement on a formal occasion, and the most important question is who will become His Highness King Qin's first wife? There seemed to be several candidates in front of him, including Miss Angel of the Huey family, Situ Yutang, the seventeenth princess of the empire, Princess Anne of the Jeroke principality, and Miss Yuexin of the Lin family of Sanjiang, who seemed to have an important position in the eyes of His Highness King Qin. Among them, the recognized popular candidates are An Qier, Situ Yutang and Lin Yuexin. Who will have the last laugh in this wedding
At this time, the shocking secret that Shi Yawei, the third young lady of the Shi Family in Tingxue However, Shi Shi's three concubines suddenly disappeared from the social circles of the imperial capital, facing unprecedented pressure from public opinion. Shi Yunyao not only briefly explained that his three daughters went out to recuperate due to physical reasons, but also refused to answer reporters' harsh questions about whether Shi Yawei was pregnant or not, saying that he had no comment, which aroused the ire of many interested people. Concerns, physical reasons, what reasons? Is it really true that the baby is secretly waiting to give birth? But Shi Yunyao didn't mention a word about where his three daughters went to relax, which disappointed the tabloid reporters. There seemed to be no shadow of the three girls beside His Highness King Qin. A big picture was posted searching for Shi's three concubines. The net was cast wide.
After confirming that the source of the news was correct, he went from the imperial capital in the Central Plains to Eastern Samoa in the southern peninsula. From Yuhang on the east coast to Shuangdui on the west coast, every gambling stall immediately opened a betting market, ranging from Angel's 1:15 to Princess Anne's 1:500. Shi Yawei's popularity soared even more, surpassing Situ Yutang and Lin Yuexin and suddenly becoming the most popular candidate after An Qier, and her betting ratio also jumped to an astonishing ratio of one to two.
The impact of this incident was unexpected even by Wu Feng himself. The level of attention it received from the public and newspapers far exceeded that of the ongoing Peninsula Campaign and the increasingly complex and severe situation in the Five Lakes. To a certain extent, it also attracted the Situ family's attention on whether Western Xinjiang would send troops to the Five Lakes.
The gratifying news finally came from the Tengger Grassland. Under the strong suppression of Western Xinjiang, the Anou people finally accepted the peace proposal of the Luobi people. The Anou people obtained 30% of the shares of the Mobei Gold Mine. This was an absolutely unacceptable result for the Luobei people, but on the one hand, under Xijiang's persuasion, on the other hand, Xijiang also promised to give Luobei certain financial compensation to make up for Luobei's losses in the Mobei gold mine. Only then did Luo Bei reluctantly accept this somewhat humiliating agreement.
Although the threat of war on the Chidi people's side still exists, in the face of the Luobi people who have been fully mobilized to deal with the crisis, coupled with the help of more than 100,000 Western Xinjiang Rangers and the support from the Hansen Alliance, the Chidi people's war The rebels were obviously suppressed. News from within them confirmed that they were no longer as unanimous as before on whether to fully mobilize for the expedition against Luo Bei, and Muluwa's untimely illness also made it difficult for them to insist on the eastward expedition. Luo Bei's hawks were shaken, which also contributed to the Chidi people accepting the peace initiative proposed by the envoys sent by Xijiang. However, the Chidi people also made their request, that is, the four ranger regiments in Xijiang must Evacuate the Luobei actual control area in the East Tengger Grassland. And they are not allowed to help rearm Luo Bei. Xijiang naturally agrees to this kind of treaty that has no binding force on both sides. As long as it can bring temporary peace, any conditions can be negotiated. What Xijiang lacks now is time.
Even under the supervision of the Western Xinjiang envoy, the Chidi people lifted their military mobilization. But Luo Bei's side still didn't dare to relax at all. After Besang took over the escort, he immediately shrank the defense circle, gave up some less important parts, and concentrated the main force on the Barona line, while Ha Xian was gathering After mobilizing the army to conquer the west, they also joined forces with the remnants of the army to conquer the south and assumed a posture of defending and resisting to the end. After all, the military strength of the Chidi people now far exceeds that of Luo Bei. If it weren't for Mulua's sudden illness, If it weren't for the reinforcements of more than 100,000 rangers from the Xijiang people, if it weren't for the timely mobilization of the Luobi people, if it weren't for the Anou people who retreated due to the defection of the Numidians and the pressure of the Ur people, this battle would have decided the two sides. No one can guarantee whether a full-scale war over the fate of the nation will break out, and no one can predict what kind of outcome this war will turn into once it breaks out. But there are no ifs in history. Various subjective and objective reasons led to the smoke that must have been ignited before the sight of it. The clouds and mist dispersed, and the dawn of peace once again shone on the Tengger Grassland.
The calming down of the situation on the Tengger Grassland is undoubtedly a huge boon for Western Xinjiang. Although hundreds of thousands of rangers are still waiting for the Chidi military mobilization to be completely lifted before they dare to evacuate the Luobi territory, at least the Indians The Indian Army and the Second Army no longer need to bear much pressure. Both the Indian Army and the Second Army suffered considerable losses, but in exchange for the submission of the Luobi people, no matter from which point of view, This battle should be considered a complete victory. The Tengger turmoil gradually subsided, but the war in the empire started again. It seemed a bit inappropriate to place the armies of the two legions in the central mainland. The Military Affairs Administration quickly issued a transfer order, and the Indian Army was renamed the Seventh Western Xinjiang Army. The Second Army Corps was stationed in Northern Luzon and the Western Regions. The Second Army Corps also officially received orders to end its stationing career in the Central Continent and set off to return to the interior of the empire. This also heralded that Western Xinjiang began to shrink its military power in other regions. Use all our strength to deal with the increasingly severe domestic war situation.
Bo Jinchen seemed to be in a very calm mood at this time. He was not worried about what Lan Bailin would do to him. Although the failed military remonstrance had opened an unbridgeable gap between the two of them, Lan Bailin He also knew that he would never forgive him. Although Bo Jinchen didn't blame Lan Bailin for his choice in his heart, he was more concerned about why Lan Bailin didn't directly oppose his and Xu Wenzhe's choice at the beginning, but only took such a step at the last moment. No matter what the objective reasons were at the time, in fact this was betrayal, a naked betrayal. In Bo Jinchen's eyes, he could allow different choices, but he would never accept betrayal.
But the reason why he accepted this mission was definitely not because of Lan Bailin. He made no secret of this when he met Lan Bailin for the first time. He did it because of Lan Bailin's hundreds of thousands of loyal Taiping disciples. To get a brighter future, of course Bo Jinchen also expressed his intention to recruit Lan Bailin on behalf of Li Wufeng, but this is only the responsibility that he must fulfill as a minister. From a personal feeling, he hopes that Lan Bailin Lin himself refused to recruit, so that Xijiang could justifiably wipe out this army, but this was too unfair to the 100,000 soldiers.
Seeing the elder who was both his teacher and friend sitting there with a calm expression on his face, Lan Bailin also had mixed feelings in his heart. Why did he make that choice in the first place? Even now, he is still not sure whether what he did was right or wrong. But one thing is for sure, he will not regret anything he has done. Even if he makes a mistake, he will stick to it.
Lan Bailin was surprised that his senior brother did not join Xijiang. He chose a wandering path. This choice also left Lan Bailin speechless. The glory of the past seemed to have gradually faded away, leaving only a The earth has gone through vicissitudes, but the Taiping Military Prime Minister who was famous in the empire has now become an officer of the Western Xinjiang Military Affairs Administration. Things have changed and people have changed. It all seems to have changed too fast, too fast for me to accept. Is this history? How quickly does a trend become obsolete? So now that I am in such a desolate state, am I already a bit behind the times
