Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 75 Turmoil
"Well, Kono-kun, you have worked hard these past few months, and the Liyuan family will never forget you." Liyuan Shanchuan showed a rare expression of gratitude on his face, and his pair of sharp eyes also implied excitement.
"Master!" Kono knocked his head on the ground again, with tears in his eyes, then raised his head and said in a whimpering voice: "Kono will repay the trust of the Lord with his life."
"Very well, my Liyuan family can dominate the Japanese land and cross the ocean, all thanks to you loyal ministers." Liyuan Shanchuan's face has returned to seriousness, looking at the magnificent giant military ship by the pier outside the window, he asked Said: "When will this ship be completed?"
"Returning to my lord, we will be able to launch a sea trial in half a month, but I am worried that the quality of our paint is not as good as that of Tanghe people. Maybe the durability of the military ship will be affected." Kono immediately became full of confidence in the warship he built.
"Well, I see. I will immediately arrange for someone to go to the mainland to buy it. Our Liyuan family's military ships must not be inferior to others." Liyuan Shanchuan showed a proud and arrogant look on his face.
"That would be great. If everything is normal after the sea trial, my lord, then we can start large-scale construction." Kono suggested excitedly.
"Well, everything is ready, I only owe the east wind, and now I just wait for the results of the sea trial." Liyuan Shanchuan's slender face also faintly flushed, and the years of painstaking efforts are about to be realized, how can this be? Can he not be excited? With enough power, the rest is up to him to seize the opportunity to complete the great cause of unifying the Wo land.
Returning to the wooden house in Isoban Castle, Li Yuan Shanchuan closed his eyes and entered a state of contemplation, until the ghostly Maori Centurion Tai sneaked in, which made him wake up from his meditation, seeing his confidant in front of him, Li Yuan slightly Nodding his head, he asked, "How about those sides? What's going on?"
"There is no big move yet, but the Tianqiu family's Fumoliu activities have begun to become more frequent. I am worried that they will get some rumors and want to spy on the secrets of our military ships." Kneel straight.
"What?!" Li Yuan Shanchuan raised his eyebrows fiercely, and couldn't help but ask, "How did they find out about this news?"
"My subordinates probably judged that in the past few months, the outer port of Isabara was under martial law. The obviously unusual security measures may have aroused their suspicion, so they sent out ninjas to spy on them. The subordinates have been near the outer port several times. I found the whereabouts of the Fumoliu personnel." Maori Baifu expressed his judgment calmly.
"Oh?" Li Yuan Shanchuan couldn't keep calm at this time, the secret of the military ship was the key to the rise of his family, and he must not let anyone know, "Mr. Mao Li, this matter should not be underestimated, it must be taken seriously. Immediately arrange manpower to step up precautions, and you must not be negligent. If anyone trespasses in the forbidden area, they will be killed without hesitation. You must ensure that this period of time passes safely. As long as we enter the stage of large-scale construction, by then, even the Bijia It doesn't matter if Hetian asks his family to know."
"This subordinate understands." Maori Centurion said abruptly.
"By the way, what's the situation over there?" Li Yuan Shanchuan turned his gaze to the west, his eyes full of fanatical light.
"The people of Tanghe have strengthened their defenses recently, and the patrolling of the fleet has also increased. The whereabouts of their first and second fleets have been found near the Ryukyu Islands and Kamchatka Island. The defense of the Great Pearl Islands There are no major changes. The Second Corps of the Milanese Army suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Machihans, and almost the entire army was wiped out. It is planned to be rebuilt this year. It is said that Louis XI will increase investment in the army. However, recently, a squadron of the Tanghe People’s Third Fleet has been stationed on Huludao in the North Pearl Islands for a long time, and they continue to lease it here from the Milanese The island is being vigorously built, and it seems to be expanding into a medium-sized military port." Maori Centurion is in charge of the intelligence system and knows everything about it.
"Oh? Tanghe people have stepped up their guard? Why?" Liyuan Shanchuan became nervous.
"Don't worry, my lord. I think it's because Situ Mingyue went to the Zhoushan Islands for summer vacation. The emperor's safety is naturally the most important thing. I'm mainly worried about the attacks of some short-sighted pirates." Maori Centurion said firmly.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Situ Mingyue went to Mount Putuo again to escape the summer heat? Hmph, this old man really has a lot of leisure and ambition for a day. The domestic turmoil is turbulent, but he seems to be fine." Li Yuan Shanchuan looked contemptuous. .
"Perhaps he is just smiling at the calmness of the situation, and I will stand still." The Maori centurion also rarely quoted two sentences from the Tang people. To put it bluntly, it is really Yangchun Baixue, they have always admired it for a long time.
"Wrong, Mr. Maori, as the emperor, he is irresponsible to his subjects. His abandonment of opportunities is also giving us Japanese opportunities." Liyuan Shanchuan retorted with a solemn expression.
At the beginning of June 695 in the mainland calendar, a large group of nobles, headed by the Vice Minister of Courtesy of the Empire Zhuang Liqiang, and the Advisory Council arrived in Bonan and began as a visiting delegation to the northwest and northern Luzon of the empire. A routine training activity, mainly by the nobles of the various ministries and the Council of the Empire, inspected the government affairs and people's conditions in various parts of the empire, and gradually evolved into the best way for the nobles of the empire to travel and ask for bribes.
When visiting the pottery industry base in Bonan Prefecture, nearly a hundred nobles wantonly seized the precious porcelain from the local kiln owners and publicly demanded bribes, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the kiln owners. They could only swallow their anger.
Stimulated by Bonan's fruitful harvest, the delegation quickly went north to Guide. After learning about the wealth of the salt merchants and wine merchants in Guide, the nobles visited each house like blood-sucking leeches. Or coercion or intimidation, frantically asking for money and goods. The local businessmen fled after hearing the news, and went out one after another to escape. The nobles did not give up, and demanded that the guard of Guide City punish those businessmen who escaped from the "respected nobles" in the name of disobedience, and they must get real rewards.
Guidebonan and Guidebonan were turbulent, but they did not stop the progress of the inspection team at all. Stimulated by the rich money, the nobles rushed like hungry wolves to Qingyang. At the welcome dinner held by the inspection team, except for all the officials, almost all the businessmen did not make excuses. This aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the nobles in the inspection team, who dismissed the local specialties and 10,000 gold coins presented by Xiao Tang. income. However, the shrewd businessman had already left home, leaving only a butler-like figure to deal with, which disappointed the nobles.
The unsatisfied nobles went south to Jinzhou. The situation in Jinzhou was similar. When they became angry, the nobles attacked and cursed the people in the northwest with the most vicious language in public. The clansmen call them barbarians and beasts, and call immigrants bastards, and Northwest officials call them a bunch of simple-minded, cowardly and stupid country bumpkins.

This report quickly ignited the anger of the people in Northwest China who were already extremely dissatisfied with these shameless aristocratic schistosomes.
On June 25th, thousands of angry people surrounded the posthouse of the Northwest County Government and burned the gorgeous carriages of the nobles under the organization of people with good intentions. . On June 26, large-scale public demonstrations erupted in both Guide and Bonan. The crowd chanted slogans, "Noble people, get out of the Northwest!" and "Kill the noble people!".
On June 27, the situation deteriorated further. The large-scale Gaoyue tribe in the southern part of Jinzhou demanded justice and surrendered the nobles who slandered them as "barbaric beasts", otherwise they would never stop. Immediately afterwards, the Gaoyue people in the eastern part of Northern Luzon also organized demonstrations, demanding that the nobles must apologize in the media ~IndoMTL.com~ to recognize the equal status of the Gaoyue people.
On June 28, a mutiny occurred in the Third Division of the Northwest Army. The Third Division, which was almost entirely composed of Gaoyue people, expelled the Tang officers from the Third Division and announced that it would not accept the management and control of the Tanghe Empire. The leader, and sent troops to surround the post house in Qingyang Mansion, threatening to use the heads and blood of the nobles to wash away their insults to the Gaoyue people.
On the same day, the Guide garrison division (formerly Jinzhou garrison division), which was also mainly composed of Gaoyue people, also mutinied. Insulted by the Gaoyue nation, he left the garrison without authorization and advanced to Qingyang to apply for aid to the Third Division.
The nobles of the Advisory Council, who had never encountered such a situation, panicked. It turned out that in their eyes, they were just a group of obedient pariahs. They dared to stand up to the noble nobles, and unexpectedly asked them to apologize. Tan, they rejected the unreasonable demands of these untouchables without hesitation, and demanded that the interior affairs department of the Northwest take immediate measures to stop them. However, the weakness shown by the interior affairs department of the Northwest made them disappointed.
However, when the news of the mutiny and riots of Gao Yue soldiers from the two divisions reached their ears, they really became nervous. Those barbarian soldiers are no different from ordinary people. They are army soldiers and all have weapons. Seeing that the Northwest local government has been unable to control the current situation, they strongly demanded that other troops in the Northwest immediately suppress the mutinous army. On the other hand, they continued to send messengers back to the imperial capital overnight to report to His Majesty the Emperor, requesting His Majesty to immediately send troops to suppress the imminent eruption. Northwest riots.
All of a sudden, there was turmoil, everyone was in danger, and the situation in the northwest suddenly became tense.
