Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 8 Pressure

The days in the imperial capital will always be the most memorable time for Wufeng. Even after many years of ascending the throne as the emperor, Wufeng and those involved are still very fond of revisiting the old place. After rejecting Situ Yushuang's meeting, Wufeng lingered on Sophia tirelessly, and after the reception, the Shi's twin sisters also visited together from time to time, together with the Li's three daughters, Wufeng was intoxicated among the flowers, Or be intoxicated in the Longmen Grottoes, or climb high and look far from the Luoshen Tower, or fly in the Peony Garden, or explore the secluded scenery and win the White Horse Temple. It was only hard for the guards, seeing the master wandering among the flowers, he could not get too close to spoil the scenery and disturb the master's good deeds, and he could not stay too far away in case he was attacked by assassins and killers and had no time to respond. In view of the fact that Wufeng has been in danger of being assassinated several times, before each trip, hundreds of Wufeng's guards always go to the scene half an hour in advance to investigate, and even the Daxiangguo Temple and the Qingye Sect have to send out capable people to mix in with the crowd Assist in case something happens to this big backer of his.

Angel's becoming Wufeng's wife has become a half-open secret in the imperial capital, and even Situ Yutang is silent, especially Wufeng Angel's two important social events in the imperial capital together confirmed this point, but On the bright side, Wufeng and Angel did not personally prove this situation, which made the political media and entertainment media report the news at length. Others could use the pressure of the media to force the two to come forward to confirm or deny it, but they failed. Achieve their goals.

With this news, the status of the Huey family has also increased, and the five major families of the empire have also begun to split. The Huey family, which was originally the lowest, became popular because of the Wufeng line. Situ Yuan climbed up the friendship, and there was a faint tendency to replace the first Miao family in the empire. His Majesty's most loyal supporter, the Tang family in the imperial capital, squeezed out the Ye family, which was originally attached to Situ Jun, out of the five major families. The Miao family, which Situ Tai maintains close ties to, has a deep foundation. Although the influence of Situ Tai has declined somewhat due to Situ Tai's influence, the family's power is intertwined in various departments and localities of the empire, and has not yet been shaken. .

Although Wufeng never tires of this kind of life of playing with dragons and phoenixes, the changes in the situation forced him to leave the imperial capital for his new territory, Kansai County. Wufeng's departure made many people sad. Since he and Situ Lang and Situ Yuan were still in a honeymoon relationship, Wufeng didn't want to show the appearance of fleeing with his family, so Angel still stayed in the imperial capital, while the three of Li Shi But at the invitation of Wufeng, the girl went to Kansai with Wufeng. Although Sophia accepted Wufeng's invitation, she only said that she would go to Kansai at the right time, but did not agree to go forward with Wufeng, which made Wufeng very disappointed. He has a crush on this girl who looks like an angel but reveals a graceful and luxurious atmosphere in her bones. It is a pity that the time they met in the imperial capital is too short, and the relationship between the two seems to only stay at the level of sympathy. , but it still takes some water and millwork.

Although Situ Lang ordered the Northwest Army to launch an offensive in Qinghe as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the defense circle of the imperial capital, Wufeng made a big fuss by using the word "as soon as possible". This word has rich meanings. The Kaman people readjusted their deployment in Qinghe, and the army of more than 200,000 people gave up fighting against the imperial army in the southeast corner, but retreated to Fucheng. Obviously, they wanted to consolidate the rule of Qinghe Mansion with peace of mind. At the same time, two infantry troops of 10,000 people and a cavalry team of 10,000 were deployed in the west of Qinghe to strengthen the defense to the west and prevent the Northwest Army from sneaking attacks. In view of this situation, Wufeng wrote a letter stating that the current defense line of the Kaman people is stable, and the Northwest Army cannot break through, so they can only wait for the opportunity. If Li Wufeng went to fight such a war of attrition that had no chance of winning, Li Wufeng would definitely not agree.

The eastern front is peaceful, but it does not mean that the Northwest Army has stopped. The war against Anyuan is still being actively prepared. Various reconnaissance cavalry are active in various places in Anyuan, and the instigators sent by the intelligence department are also frequently with Unstable elements in the Anyuan Taiping Army came into contact with, and there were a few precedents that the Taiping Army received reasonable treatment after surrendering. The religious forces can be said to be the most stubborn. Although they have already realized that the main force of the Taiping Sect in Heshuo is unlikely to break through Kansai to support An Yuan, who is hundreds of miles away, these guys still refuse to catch them without a fight. It is required that Anyuan will be won immediately, just wait until the second half of the year, and it will come naturally.

In March, there was already a hint of spring in Kansai. When the warm wind blew the land of Kansai with the help of the melting spring sun, Wufeng had already stayed in Hanzhong for nearly ten days. In addition to the grain storage situation, Wufeng is more likely to inspect and visit the various prefectures. At the same time, he receives local prominent families, gentry merchants, scholars and celebrities who have been newly brought under management in the four prefectures, and listens to their views on the current situation in Kansai and their concerns about the future. The idea of ​​the Western Times Bureau. Wufeng's friendly and generous image has won unanimous praise from people from all walks of life in Kansai County. Although some conservative ruthless people are quite critical of the fact that Wufeng is accompanied by a few foreign women instead of imperial princesses, but this kind of private matter Not only did the problem not have much negative impact on Wufeng's reputation, but it became a good talk among the literati who claimed to be celebrities. He won the praise of the Kansai scholars who have always been wild, and also won a lot of popularity for Wufeng.

While inspecting Kansai, Wufeng was thinking about the next step in military affairs, and on the other hand, he was also considering the reform of Kansai's political structure and how to effectively integrate the Northwest, Kansai, and the future half of Beiyuan County. , Lay the foundation for establishing your own complete base.

The landlords and aristocrats in Kansai County are more conservative, which is quite different from the situation in the Northwest that Wufeng took over initially. It can be said that it is a blank space, which is extremely beneficial to the establishment of Wufeng's absolute prestige in the northwest, and the facts have proved this point. From a certain point of view, Wufeng should also thank the Luobei people for their invasion of the northwest. At least their frenzied raids wiped out all the landowner and noble forces in the northwest, leaving Wufeng with a blank sheet of paper to paint at will. The situation in Kansai is the same. Although they were raided by the Taiping Army, the time for the Taiping Army to seize power was too short, and they did not establish a stable rule in Kansai, nor could they shake the foundation of the landlords and nobles. The entry into the lord is just a generalization, so if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Kansai, Wufeng has to face these land nobles first.

Fortunately, Wufeng's illustrious military exploits on the northwest border and his dominance over the Kamanians and Taipingjiao people have made everyone in Kansai admire him. It is the influx of goods from the Northwest into Kansai, which also makes all classes in Kansai have great expectations for Wufeng. They all hope that this hero who is almost a **** among the people of the empire can bring them a life like that of the Northwest. General sea change.

The nobles hope that Wufeng can show them a clear way, which can not only maintain the peace and stability of the region, but also make their lives more and more prosperous. After the shocking waves, they all realized that maybe it is not a clear path to continue like this, and maybe one day they will be subverted in this turbulent wave, but they can't change everything, so they hope that Li Wufeng can lead them out of this path. Dead end ~IndoMTL.com~ brings them abundance and security.

The merchants are the most enthusiastic about Li Wufeng's taking over. The industrial and commercial development in the Northwest has become a model for the entire empire. They are jealous. The developed road transportation network and the active commodity economy in Northwest China make businessmen envious and worried about their environment at the same time. The Northwest, which was dismissive in the past, has become an economy that keeps pace with itself. This bitter feeling can only be truly experienced by the person concerned; and the farmers cheered for the arrival of Wufeng. The mandatory low land rent and low tax policy implemented in the Northwest used to make them resent why they were not born in the Northwest, and this day finally came. , the owners of the northwest will also become the owners of their own land, and they are looking forward to a better tomorrow for themselves; the citizens also welcome this legendary overlord. Well-developed urban education and sanitation facilities, as well as a beautiful urban environment, are well-known among travelers and businessmen from all over the world, and citizens hope that their city will become like that one day.

This huge expectation pressure from all aspects made Wufeng feel the push no matter whether he was among the nobles and gentry, wandering among the common people, or facing the eyes of businessmen and peasant representatives. Responsibility for not going. In the Hanzhong Mansion, where the Taiping Sect and Lin Lang have taken turns to rule, this kind of pressure makes Wufeng even feel oppressed to breathe. Every warm welcome slogan, every exaggerated newspaper praising Wufeng, every pair of eager anticipating gazes, and the flowers, wine, and beauties who greeted us everywhere, made people feel happy. Wufeng felt the heavy burden on his shoulders.
