Sima Zhi suddenly became hot and red.

As a prince who could be bored to the point of playing tricks in the yamen of the Imperial City, and whose daily pleasure in life was to eat and drink in restaurants after get off work, Sima Zhi was once like a salted fish...

No, he is just a salted fish, a salted fish without any pursuit.

However, the changing situation in the court suddenly made this old salted fish become tender and plump, attracting countless salivating cats.

In a grand manner, gorgeous carriages drove out from the mansions of princes and nobles in Anyang City and entered Sima Zhi's palace. Then, gorgeous gift boxes were moved out of the carriages one by one. And quickly entered the treasure house of Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Precious Tao pills, magical weapons, heavenly weapons, acquired spiritual treasures, and even those innate things that are so priceless that ordinary people have no chance to see them.

There are also lively and stunning beauties, rare birds and animals with terrifying cultivation, and even various interesting beauties from alien races... They were all sent to Prince Xuan's Mansion like water and settled in. Pavilions and pavilions are housed in neatly cleaned livestock pens.

Then, according to the value of the gifts, these princes and nobles received from the red-faced Sima Zhi a number of appointment certificates stamped with the imperial city's military and horse division seal and Sima Zhi's personal seal.

The Xiyuan, Beiyuan, and Nanyuan Imperial Guards each have one first-grade general-level captain, twelve second-grade general-level deputy captains, and thousands of civil and military officials of each rank. These are all good Location.

In addition to the re-established Sanyuan Forbidden Army, the Imperial City Army and Horses Division will also re-establish the Twelve Guards Forbidden Army, the Zichou Yinmao Twelve Guards Forbidden Army. Each guard has three first-grade general-level guard commanders and two-grade general-level guards. There are thirty-six deputy commanders and tens of thousands of civil and military subordinate officers of various ranks.

For so many years, the Linghu family has controlled the Jin military headquarters, and many important positions in the Jin military have been controlled by elite generals who were born as generals.

Although some of the descendants of the Sima clan of the Jin royal family also served in the army, they were suppressed by generals who were born as generals. Their influence in the army was far less than that of generals.

The Imperial City Military and Horse Department re-established the Sanyuan Forbidden Army and the Twelve Guards Forbidden Army, with Xuan Wang Sima Zhi taking charge of the matter.

Countless royal relatives, princes and nobles saw the huge benefits here, and came to the door in a hurry. Find a way out for their beloved bastard, and place some back-up men in the army for their own family... All in all, they all have enough reasons to convince themselves to send Sima Zhi a sky-high gift.

Linghu Qingqing's words in the court had already spread.

There is no doubt that many people will die in the battle with Dawu.

Many elites in the military will die in battle, including countless elite generals who were born as generals.

After the war, the military's power will shrink greatly, and the Imperial City's Military and Horse Division has reestablished the Sanyuan Forbidden Army and the Twelve Guards Forbidden Army. This force will undoubtedly be enough to affect the situation in the court after the war.

Hold military power and suppress one side.

To greatly expand one's own voice in the court, this is something that many royal families in the Jin Dynasty and many idle nobles in the Jin Dynasty dream of.

Linghu Qingqing's control over the military is extremely tight. It is basically impossible for the Jin royal family and idle nobles to meddle in the military at will.

And this time, the opportunity came.

For some unknown purpose, Linghu Qingqing actually made the Qingshui Yamen in the Qingshui Yamen of the Imperial City Bingma Division suddenly become the leading Dahongmen in the Jin Dynasty.

No matter how secretive it was behind the scenes, in short, the entire Anyang City was shocked.

Linghu Qingqing's name was constantly mentioned in the mouths of many princes and nobles. While many people were laughing at whether Linghu Qingqing was old and confused, they couldn't help but hold their foreheads in admiration - the left prime minister really did a great thing this time. .

The Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Department quickly built a huge courtyard nearby. The young elites from various mansions in Anyang City, carrying the appointment certificates exchanged for countless rare treasures, were all in bright clothes and with spring breeze on their faces. Yes, he came with a large group of private military guards to take up his post.

Civil and military officials quickly filled the courtyard of the Imperial City's Military and Horse Department. High-ranking officials sat in the lobby with a majestic appearance, while low-level officials and low-ranking officials were running back and forth waving various official documents.

Groups of troops from the Imperial City's Army and Horses Division, holding banners and riding their mounts, quickly rushed out of Anyang City and rushed to nearby states and counties.

There were also large numbers of soldiers and horses from the Imperial City who boarded the fastest flying warships, passed through the space gate, and set off towards distant states and counties.

They took the recruitment certificate issued by Sima Zhi and rushed to various places in the Jin Dynasty to recruit troops.

The original residences of the Sanyuan Forbidden Army and the Twelve Guards Forbidden Army were bustling with traffic. Countless building materials were delivered. Construction teams one after another began to renovate the barracks, build defensive formations, arrange various restrictions, etc.

The factories and workshops arranged by the Dajin Gongdian in various prefectures and counties were in full swing, and the sky turned red with fierce flames and thick smoke.

Countless ordnance and armor flowed out of the factories and workshops like water, and then were quickly sent to the warehouse of the Army and Horses Division of the Imperial City of Anyang City.

All the factories and mines related to forging worked overtime, and mountains of ore were excavated from the ground and then sent to monster-like factories and workshops.

In the many pastures and pastures under the jurisdiction of the Nong Highness, fat and strong mounts were mobilized. After the red-hot iron left a clear Imperial City Army and Horses Division logo on their buttocks, large groups of mounts were mobilized. Sent to the giant transport ship, it slowly flew towards Anyang City.

It was lively and heated. The entire Anyang City and most of the Jin Kingdom were in a commotion because of the sudden rise of the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division.

Three days later, a large-scale caravan slowly flew out of the space gate, arrived at a stockyard hundreds of miles away from Anyang City, and then began to slowly descend.

This caravan came from Pingzhou, a million miles away from Anyang City.

It was a prefecture in the Jin Divine Kingdom that was famous for producing all kinds of rare elixirs. Every year, the Jin Military Headquarters would purchase huge amounts of various grades of elixirs, elixirs and even Taoist elixirs from Pingzhou.

Pingzhou's elixir business is dominated by three giant chambers of commerce.

One of the chambers of commerce alliance, Sanjianghui, ranks first among the three major chambers of commerce in terms of comprehensive strength and controls half of the production of medicinal herbs and elixirs in Pingzhou.

This caravan consisting of one hundred transport ships and five hundred armed cargo ships was owned by Sanjianghui.

The Imperial City Army and Horses Division suddenly turned around and re-established the Sanyuan Forbidden Army and the Twelve Guards Forbidden Army. The news spread quickly, and Sanjianghui was even more responsive, immediately dispatching a large amount of medicines in stock and sending them to Anyang City. .

The Sanyuan Forbidden Army and the Twelve Guards Forbidden Army, not to mention the consumption of various medicines required on the battlefield, just say that their soldiers practice every day, and the auxiliary elixirs they consume can pile up a small mountain.

Sanjianghui has a backstage and a backer. The elixirs they transport can be guaranteed to be purchased by the Imperial City Army and Horses Department, and the purchase price will be at least 30% higher than the market price!

Sanjianghui didn't dare to mess around with military procurement.

Linghu Qingqing was ruthless in military procurement, but Sanjianghui only dared to take the initiative to lower prices, and did not dare to attack the military procurement at all.

But the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Department...

The leader of the team, the shopkeeper of Sanjianghui, stood on the bow of a flying boat at the front, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Imperial City Army and Horse Department, Royal Procurement, haha, this is the biggest piece of fat meat in the world. The owners of Sanjianghui only increased the price by 30%. In the eyes of the shopkeeper, this is simply too merciful.

Who doesn’t know that royal business is the best

When the royal family buys a cabbage gang, it costs the same as buying a golden pimple.

Tsk tsk.

Only increasing the price by 30% is really too merciful.

"Hey, my bosses, you have worked hard for my promotion. A 30% increase in price? This, this, this, this is simply... so loyal to the country!" The shopkeeper who led the team sighed sincerely.

Then a flying sword whizzed over, swiped across his neck, and a good man's head flew high, spraying hot blood.

In all directions, large groups of dexterous and maneuverable small airships emerged from the formation restrictions. Countless soldiers wearing black armor and expressionless faces activated flying knives and flying swords, sweeping past like a heavy rain.

One hundred large cargo ships and five hundred armed cargo ships, the Sanjianghui caravan suffered heavy losses in an instant. All the merchants, sailors and guards busy on the deck were killed in a very short time.

Dozens of powerful caravan guards relied on their cultivation and the powerful defensive magic weapons on their bodies to break through the stormy attacks of the soldiers and rushed into the air.

"We are from Sanjianghui..." a guard leader shouted sternly.

"Kill!" A ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind him, slashing across the body with a slash, forcibly cutting through the armor of the guard leader, cutting off his head, killing his vitality, and destroying his spirit. fetal.

Dozens of guards from the Tibetan Realm were killed by nearly a hundred generals who suddenly appeared in just a few clicks. Large groups of soldiers rushed into these cargo ships and began to clean the chambers of the chambers layer by layer.

Half an hour later, a blazing bonfire broke out in the dumpster owned by Sanjianghui, and all the beheaded members of the chamber of commerce were burned to ashes.

The same thing happened almost simultaneously in hundreds of prefectures around Anyang City.

The wolf-like army broke into every chamber of commerce, every shop, and every mansion.

No nonsense, no communication, just kill directly.

Rivers of blood flowed and mountains of corpses formed.

The wealthy businessmen and wealthy families were slaughtered one after another, and the local officials who had friendship with them were directly captured and killed by envoys specially sent by the military department with military orders.

In times of war, marching laws.

Linghu Qingqing's command directly released a ferocious beast, using his most ferocious side to instantly shock countless people.

As mentioned before, the residences of Princess Zhao Xiu and Princess Jing Sheng are not in the Zhao family's mansion. Instead, they opened separate mansions and lived alone in Anyang City.

Zhao Xiu was on the southwest front, accompanying the army to resist the invasion of Dawu, and Princess Jingsheng became the only mistress of the Zhao family.

Zhao Xiu's character is reserved and deep, but Princess Jing Sheng has an extremely flamboyant temperament, and she likes luxury and fun.

Early in the morning, Princess Jingsheng's phoenix chariot appeared in front of the Zhao Mansion. Hundreds of guards rode on their mounts, surrounding the phoenix chariot.

Princess Jingsheng has forgotten what she did to Yinbao'er a few days ago. Such a trivial matter is not worth worrying about for a noble person like her.

Dressed up early in the morning, like a gorgeous red peony, Princess Jingsheng slowly walked out of the mansion gate with the support of two maids, and stood in front of the door looking left and right for a while.

Narrowing her eyes, Princess Jingchen said calmly: "Today, I will not go to Jiuquxi Hall. I will go outside the city... Well, the Golden Pavilion in Xiyuan. The scenery at this time is excellent. Let people, let Master Ma and the others , go to the Golden Pavilion to find me later."

Before he finished speaking, he heard heavy footsteps.

A large group of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor, carrying iron chains in their hands, like leading a dog, forced the large group of men, women and children to walk along the street.

The residences of Princess Zhao Xiu and Princess Jing Sheng were naturally chosen in a neighborhood with the highest concentration of dignitaries. The surrounding mansions were full of big shots. The streets here were usually heavily guarded and patrolled with many guards. Ordinary people in Anyang City could not even connect. No chance to step in.

Therefore, the neighborhood here is extremely quiet and clean. Have there ever been such a large group of people strutting through the streets

Especially those men, women, and children with chains around their necks. They were all covered in blood. The clothes they wore were made of extremely expensive top-grade goods. However, their clothes were in tatters. Many women were obviously harassed, and their clothes were torn. It couldn't cover the body, exposing a large area of white skin.

The huge army of soldiers was walking quickly along the street. At a glance, it was at least seven or eight miles long. The soldiers were like wolves and tigers. The men, women, old and children trapped in the iron chains were crying and screaming. Wails, cries, scoldings, and curses were like a heavy pot of porridge, thickly covering the sky above the neighborhood.

Princess Jingsheng's face suddenly twisted.

It was early in the morning, I was in a good mood and ready to go out to have some fun, but suddenly something like this happened...

Princess Jingsheng's cultivation level is not weak either. With the resources of the Jin Dynasty, she can be brought into the womb state. Her eyes flickered, and she caught sight of dozens of old people with long beards dancing in the crowd, who were originally quite extraordinary.

She recognized that these old people were all her party members.

They were all wealthy businessmen in Anyang City. They were influential in many industries and contributed a huge amount of wealth to Princess Jingsheng.

Early in the morning, at the delicate moment when Princess Jingsheng went out, her confidants were caught in front of her like dogs... Princess Jingsheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. There was no doubt that this was intentional. Yes, some people did it intentionally!

The large group of people arrived in front of Princess Jing Sheng. Suddenly there was a burst of excitement in the crowd, and a stream of blood spurted out from the arm of a soldier.

There was a cry of pain, and a rough voice came from the team: "Dare to resist? Kill!"

On both sides of the long team, more than 10,000 soldiers raised their swords and slashed at those who were led by iron chains in a uniform manner.

No matter men, women, old or young, they were chopped down to the ground neatly in rows.

Princess Jingsheng's vision went dark, her energy and blood surged, and she immediately fell to the ground and fainted.
