Lord Yunyang rarely opened Yunyang's treasury.
Here is stored the family business he accumulated from traveling around when he was young, and the dazzling collection seems to have not been touched for a long time. He picked up a trident on the ground, brushed off the light dust on it, and briefly waved it in his hand. When he suppressed the Cangzhou lord's uprising, he successfully led his troops to ambush one of the generals under the Cangzhou lord, and forcibly snatched it from that person.
There are many such weapons in this treasury, as well as all kinds of treasures. For so many years, Lingyun City has been continuously squeezing Yunyang's people's power like a blood pump, and has brought countless treasures to the Lord of Yunyang. He enjoys this kind of accumulated happiness, and it is always more pleasant to ask than to give.
But now, Lord Yunyang had to open this treasury in exchange for more important things.
The frontier soldiers are fully equipped, but the 200,000 people received from other princes need real money for food, clothing and military pay. Yunyang Territory has never expanded such a large number of troops in one go, so the weapons and equipment in stock in the house are definitely not enough, and it is too late to make them now, so the only way is to buy them.
Lord Yunyang's face was as gloomy as water. In his opinion, these were unnecessary expenditures.
If Li Yi hadn't stabbed him, Karpass would have attacked Xiaxin City early, even if he lost, it doesn't matter, at worst, the northern frontier and southern frontier troops will be transferred there, and Fang Shisan will be killed. the army below. But during the period when he was in a coma, the already irrepressible Yuxi City ushered in a chance to take off directly. Although Lord Yunyang immediately stopped the civil strife of other princes after waking up and kept the remaining vitality, but The future direction of Yunyang is still confusing.
Now he knew that he had to do bloodletting, otherwise, if he lost the battlefield, all the things he had worked so hard to save would be used as wedding dresses for others. Rather than being a slave with an outsider, it is better to take advantage of this time to exchange some supplies. After Yunyang's rebellion is pacified, sooner or later he can still earn it back.
The only regret is that you will never be able to buy the best weapons and equipment through purchasing, which is bound to happen.
Compared with the predicament of Lord Yunyang, Lide's side is much better.
The industrial system of Yuxi City has not yet developed to the point where it can mass-produce weapons, but its steelmaking technology is already ahead of this era to a certain extent. After Black Steel City and Jianjian City were captured, Yuxi City took control of two relatively large iron mines, and was no longer under the control of others in terms of steel. It could find craftsmen in the sea of clouds to produce relatively high-end weapons and equipment through outsourcing. Yunhai also acquiesced in this kind of cooperative relationship. One party provides high-quality steel, and the other party is responsible for processing. In the end, the results are divided according to a certain ratio, and no one suffers from the other.
Fang Shisan is arming the army at a faster speed. The weapons and equipment used by each soldier must be tested and passed before they can be put into use. Many, many people will definitely die in the war in the near future, so Lide must hope that more people will survive on his side.
Because there will be at most two conscriptions, Yunyang's people's strength will be at its limit. A large amount of land needs to be cultivated, and before the popularization of mechanized planting, farming requires young labor to do it. Therefore, the army in Fang Shisan's hands must be used as little as possible, and it is very important to ensure the survival rate.
Five days later, Shuang met Li De and reported two important things.
The first thing is the movement of Abyss Church in Yuxi City. After Lide approved the mission of this church, the Church of the Abyss seemed to be much more honest, and did not continue to do things secretly behind the scenes. But at the same time, the Tradition Temple issued a solemn statement, ordering Lide to shut down the Church of the Abyss as the city lord, otherwise a holy war would be launched against Yuxi City.
"Don't worry about them for the time being. Since the revised teachings of the Church of the Abyss have passed the review, we will allow these people to preach on our territory. The people in the temple feel unhappy, so let them be unhappy. It is best for them to withdraw in a fit of anger Yunyang, then I can wake up from my dreams with a smile."
Lide paused, and continued to say to Shuang:
"We are the first place to openly allow the Church of the Abyss to preach, and they will definitely protect us. We don't need to worry about the temple forces, let the Church of the Abyss fight with them first. Those people live in dark places all day long, and they should come out Get some sun."
Frost nodded.
The traditional temples are spread all over the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. They are a very large, bloated and terrifying interest group. If they are enemies, they will cause countless troubles. However, Shuang has always been the type of obedience in the workplace. Now that the leader has spoken, she will nod in response, and then think of ways to implement it.
As for the second matter, it was the information sent by a succubus girl who risked her life to sneak into Lingyun City. After the general Takis of the southern frontier army entered Lingyun City, although he was not relieved of his military power, the two lieutenants who had been with him for many years were all imprisoned on trumped-up charges and replaced by Lord Yunyang's own cronies. Lord Yunyang's attitude is obvious: I won't touch you, but I will arrange two people to monitor you, you'd better work hard for me.
Takis looked normal, probably because he had expected such a thing to happen.
After communicating with the succubus, the Anbu organization handed her a heavy task.
Do everything possible to poison the two lieutenants who were sent to prison...to death.
Because the succubus girl stayed by Li Yi's side for a while, even though Li Yi had lost power, she stayed in the lord's mansion as an ordinary little maid because she was well-behaved and sensible. She had the opportunity to deceive the jailer's trust, and falsely spread the order of Lord Yunyang to poison and kill the two lieutenants, because the jailer did not know the tacit agreement reached between Lord Yunyang and Takis, and they thought they were framed by Lord Yunyang and sent to prison The time of death is near.
If it succeeds, the southern frontier army will definitely have resentment with Lord Yunyang, and even the northern frontier army will be in danger. However, you must run quickly, and you must plan your escape route before executing the mission.
After listening to Shuang's report, Lide thought for a while and asked:
"I seem to have heard this person mentioned by the female charm and the demon boy. A little fan of the bottle?"
A smile appeared on Shuang's face, and she replied:
"Yeah, Bottle has a lot of fans now."
Lid yawned with a smile, a little lazy in his tone:
"It's best if we succeed, and it doesn't matter if we fail. We will win in the frontal battlefield. These strategies are just added value. If they succeed, they will save us from dying, and if they fail, they will not have a particularly big impact. Let that little succubus ensure his own safety, and act after thinking clearly."
Shuang let out a "hmm", turned and left.
Li De looked at the blue sky outside the window, the wind blowing through the clouds in the sky, and the cicadas singing in midsummer made people a little upset.
Both sides are already making final preparations. Soon, there will be war.
