Power and Empire Chapter 2901: Mad Blood (12)

The meeting with the imperial emperor was shorter than expected. It took only ten minutes. Song Que appeared at the entrance of the alley with a pale face. Everything was intact, but his footsteps seemed a lot eager.

The four Song guards of the "Patriarch" hurriedly surrounded them nervously, wondering if their Patriarch had been conspired, otherwise the Patriarch had always been a steadfast faction. Why did it take only ten minutes for a trace to be unnoticeable Impatient, what happened in the alley!

"I'm fine"

Song Que waved his hand to stop the four guards from asking, knowing that his face must be ugly. In fact, anyone who knew the current situation in Yanzhou would behave like this, although most people's mouth The disdain for Longyang to defend Yanzhou, although the courage of tens of thousands of people and the great moral view of giving up their lives for righteousness has always been the moral symbol most worshipped by the nobles of China and Biya. Although the Long family is a local powerhouse, I have always received all kinds of slanders from the Central and Bahia court, but this time I defended Yanzhou alone, but many people couldn’t help but raise a thumbs up and say admiration.

"Go to the location outside the city immediately, and we will return to the south as soon as possible." Song Que smiled faintly, saying that there was nothing wrong with him, and his gaze swept through the people of Guangling who were still celebrating in the city, Guangling at this moment. Everyone in the city is cheering for the Yanzhou victory. No one knows that the most dangerous stage of the Yanzhou battle has just arrived. The fifty-thousand-thousand north king’s court went south and the Yelu family went north. Strategically, it was a front and back attack. , The Long Family has just gone through the bitter battle in Yanzhou. Even if you are lucky if you have ten thousand remaining troops, how to resist the rush of fifty thousand prairie cavalry? As for giving up Yanzhou, it is too late at this time.

How could that old fox in Yeluhongtai let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He must have set up an ambush on the road to the south, just waiting for the Long Family to bump into it! 100% of the news of the Yanzhou victory should have been sent out in advance, otherwise, surrounded by layers of 50,000 grassland powerhouses, the news would not be transmitted at all. Even if someone really ran out, the message should be sent for help. The Long family may not know about the letter from Yanzhou. The situation in Yanzhou has changed abruptly. Whether Longyang can survive this battle is a question. How long can Yanzhou's so-called great victory continue? When news of the defeat of the Long Family comes, what will it look like? Even the head of the Song clan dare not think about it!

The meeting with the Song people was completed, and the agreement to open the southern waterway was finalized in the shortest time. The fat man sent someone to say hello to the Southwest Long’s family, and he immediately took people away from Guangling. If you don’t leave at this time, can you wait until Longyang? Did the news of the fiasco come before leaving?

After the winter, the Port of Lisbon is getting busier and busier. There are large and small ships everywhere around the port. The white sails seem to be reflected on the sea with dense white clouds in the sky. There are no gaps at all. It was originally green. The transparent sea also became white at this time. A large number of large merchant ships were orderly and non-stop, unloading a large amount of materials, and then carrying away a large amount of imperial products or ore. Those Aden merchant ships from the far south, carrying a large amount of spices and precious metals, and their unique upturned hollow bows, are particularly eye-catching among the densely packed merchant ships docking in Lisbon. The size of these Aden merchant ships are generally It is extremely large and requires careful command from the navigator before it can be moored on the dock smoothly.

Corresponding to the bustle and bustle is the silence in the Imperial port. Today, many soldiers from the Navy Department have been added to the military port. They are distributed in a straight line, standing like statues on the pier of the military port. The imperial sword at the waist exuded a biting cold light in the sunlight. Among the soldiers standing guard, there are several mobile outposts with temporary armbands on their shoulders

Towards the evening, two large Imperial Dragon-class battleships flying with special flags entered the naval harbor. Kusterdella, in black dress, stared at the imperial Navy Dragon-class battleships that came to a halt slowly. Until a beautiful woman with a hood above saw her.

"His Royal Highness" Sokust Delan salutes with a slightly worried look. This is the first time she has really had direct contact with the imperial princesses. No one knows what will happen, let alone from the battleship. Coming up and down was Mao Manaqing, the first princess with the greatest power in the empire. If he was not nervous, it was a fake. He raised his head and saw a black-haired Zhongbian woman behind Mao Manaqing, Kustedai. Lan also knows Li Yuehua. I heard that there was no news due to the investigation by the Ministry of Supervision. Now she is present next to Princess Mao Manaqing, which shows that there should be no problems with the investigation.

"We finally met, it's a hard work!"

Mao Monaqing looked at the beauty in front of her, smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand to support Socust Dailan, and behaved very generously. This time, I don't know what empire of the Aden people provokes the emperor, a secret order When it was served to the Imperial Sea City, when he saw the name of the person who met him in Lisbon, Mo Naqing was so excited that he immediately terminated the annual meeting of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and immediately asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to arrange for the warship to go south to Lisbon. There were many emperor’s women. But the woman who most worries about the first princess, Mao Manaqing, is not the princess, but a businesswoman. That woman is the thirteenth deacon of the former Imperial Business Alliance, who single-handedly suppressed the Deacon of the Business Alliance. Tusdelan

She has long been like the emperor’s underground lover and business assistant, but the two women have never really met. The Dark Rose and the Queen of Empire’s business all said that this enigmatic woman has thousands of styles and styles, and the same can be done. Ruthless, with a smile, can make the person facing her head overwhelmed, and her enemies can be like falling into the ice cave. This is a woman like a shadow, but underneath her tender and seductive appearance, she controls the strongest in the mainland. The big business organization, the Imperial Bank, controls the wealth and power of a wealthy and enemy country. As the imperial princess who controls the internal affairs of the empire, I don’t know how many times I have come into contact with the power of the imperial bank controlled by this woman

If the army of the empire is the sword of the empire that expands its territory, then this woman’s empire bank is a well-deserved empire treasury! In the last quarter alone, it is said that the amount of gold coins passed by this woman reached 30 million. Even Mao Manaqing was a little jealous. Not to mention that the power of the Imperial Bank enveloped 60% of the empire. Business, the economic lifeline of more than ten kingdoms outside the empire, is the emperor’s true confidant, and a powerful force that the emperor has always kept secret. It is by no means comparable to those other princesses, if not his own son is the empire*** *, the secret of the empire will be handed over to his son one day, the emperor is afraid that he will not let himself come into contact with this woman now!

"His Royal Highness is struggling from a long distance, it is better to take a break and discuss things first!" In the carriage, Socutus Delan waited and said, knowing that her identity has always been private, and this time , The emperor deliberately let himself go into the sun, in addition to because Maomao Naqing is the mother of ****, he also plans to expose himself to the princess class. You must know that among all the princesses, Maomao Na Qing is the first. If you can get the support of the first princess, your identity as an underground lover will not appear so embarrassing. If necessary, it is not impossible to receive the emperor's harem!

"Don't be too polite. Although Lisbon asked me to come here for the first time, it is definitely the first time to visit in secret. I don't know if I am honored to let you, the landlord, take me around!" Mao Mona Seiichi With a relaxed face, piercing and interested eyes looked at the port outside the carriage. It was the setting sun. The sea of ​​the port was shining with gold, and the merchant ships were still in an endless stream preparing to enter the port. Lisboa is worthy of being the center of gravity of the imperial sea trade. The last heavy blow was only a few months ago. Not only did it recover, but even more so, the taxes it paid accounted for 5% of the imperial taxes. It was really the hen who laid the golden eggs, and according to her own It is guessed that the emperor obviously handed Lisbon to Socutus Delan to manage, that is to say, Socutus Delan is the uncrowned queen of this super commercial city,

This woman is a legend. Mo Naqing was born in an orthodox aristocratic family. Although she has a tolerant personality and is quite disciplined in doing things, she has never been a bit crazy in her heart. For example, she asked Socutusdai Lan, what happened to the financial war that rumored to have swept the southern part of Obaro with tens of millions of funds last year? Is it really possible to destroy the economic lifeline of a country with money? If it weren't like that, how could the Fazer Kingdom suddenly fall into a state of total treason, and how could Southern Obalo, who originally hated the empire, collapsed under the empire's gold bullet offensive! If that financial confrontation is also a big battle, then is the woman in front of you the commander-in-chief in that war? It turns out that a woman can also command a war at the continental level. Just think about it, even if it’s Mao Manaqing. Attentive

For the various questions of the first princess of the empire, Socutus Delan just sneered and answered respectfully

"Your Majesty joked, that financial raid was entirely your Majesty’s layout, and the small ones were just a coordinating role inside! As for the external rumors that the deaths of several deacons of the business alliance were related to me, it is completely ridiculous. Those people are just insatiable, trying to use the business alliance to blackmail the empire, so they are all looking for misfortune. In fact, they really have nothing to do with me! The Fazer royal family's treachery is naturally the betrayal of the people."

The relationship between women often starts from a conversation. Socutus Delan has experienced various storms and waves in the business alliance. Naturally, I know that the content that His Royal Highness is most concerned about is the content. If it is too bloody, it is natural to not say it. It cannot be said to be cruel. If the princess wants to listen to the kind of passage that sweeps the south, she picks one or two particularly exciting to talk about. Hearing Mao Mo Na’s green eyes brighten, she deeply touched Socutus Dailan. Regarded as an idol, it is so extraordinary for a woman to be able to do this. It’s no wonder that her own man handed Lisbon to her the Imperial Maritime Trade Center with great confidence. Only Li Yuehua next to him rolled his eyes. As an intelligence officer, what you know is naturally the cruel truth. That imperial financial attack on the South caused 80% of the southern commercial guilds to go bankrupt. In particular, thousands of small and medium-sized businessmen were forced into desperation. Knowing how many people sell their children and women, and how many people commit suicide in debt, how beautiful is the ruddy little mouth of Socutus Delan! Wars are deadly, financial wars, no fewer people die than on the battlefield!

But this woman is really talented in business, and she is definitely not inferior to her in a place that is decisive and cruel, and she doesn’t know where the dead fat man came from. She always thought she was eager among women. Li Yuehua, who has suffered a lot of attacks recently, was first removed from his post and then investigated by the Ministry of Supervision. Finally, the first princess got out of the Ministry of Supervision in the name of a female head of guard, and encountered another such evil here. Woman

As more and more connected to the core layer of the empire, Li Yuehua found out that the empire she knew before was so superficial

I always thought that the empire could defeat the enemy’s powerful weapons, but it was only after Mao Manaqing was behind that she saw the empire’s strength in all aspects. The empire’s investment in various technological transformations has always been Astronomical figures, even Li Yuehua looked at the dizzy funds, which promoted the rapid improvement of various technologies of the empire. You must know, technological progress. It is the result of a comprehensive combination of all aspects. Only when the conditions in all aspects are mature can more advanced technologies be born. However, Li Yuehua has seen something called a steam engine in the secret report of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs~IndoMTL.com~ and The three-line water mill textile machine from Central and Biyah has been developed to five-line in the empire, and five or six thousand workshops have been built densely in the western coast area of ​​Obaro, which is rich in wool. Some of the empire’s clothing materials already have wool textiles

The empire’s use of ocean trade has already made Li Yuehua dumbfounded. She knows that ocean trade makes money, but she never thought it would be so profitable. The empire has never spared any effort to invest in ports. At the same time, there are more than 60 super-large ports with hundreds of large ships berthing on the imperial coastline. Each berth is also equipped with a shaft puller. These large-scale loading and unloading equipment looks very simple, but very practical. It takes a few people to easily pull up thousands of catties of cargo, which greatly accelerates the speed of cargo loading and unloading, which is countless times faster than manual loading and unloading, especially for heavy cargo. In some ports of the empire, A large iron box has also appeared, and most of the loose goods are loaded into the large box. It can be pulled directly onto the carriage without re-disassembly and assembly, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the intermediate links. These technologies are basically invisible if they do not come to the coast. It is no wonder that the Emperor ** team can sweep and talk, and it can be so arrogant. , There are indeed reasons for arrogance. According to her estimation, the cargo throughput of just one Lisboa port exceeds the cargo throughput of the entire port of Central and Bahia. The huge wealth brought by these maritime trades eventually became the emperor* * The team's excellent and heinous weapons, each of them is enough to destroy the city and the country Thor!
