Power and Empire Chapter 3062: The wind of the empire (23)
Lanzhi City, bright sunshine shines from the newly constructed hall, golden light spots are reflected on the steps leading to the hall, among the people coming and going on the street in front of the hall, Longxue Mountain is guarded by a dozen Coming down from the war horse, the family crest on the armor of the Long Family Army changed the complexion of the people around them, like a piece of ice, making the people around them unconsciously step away.
"I am from the Long Family!"
"Is the Long Family going to play Laneige?"
"No, if you want to fight, you would fight it a long time ago. Now that the Long Family wants to attack Lange, they are really not afraid of the Empire's revenge?"
The whispers from all around came to my ears, Long Xueshan's hand holding the horse whip twisted tightly, and then raised his head, looking solemnly at the city hall in front of him, his heart is complicated, although he has seen Lanzhi outside. The city has changed, but when you enter the city, you can really feel the prosperous rushing toward you
There are shops on both sides of the street, and it is almost difficult to travel with a lot of people. From the beginning of entering the city gate, not only the guards of Longxueshan are stupid, but also Longxueshan is also dumbfounded. Is this Lanzhi City? This is the dilapidated little stone road in the whole city. When encountering the rainy season in the south, it is the muddy mountain city of Lange?
What is Lanzhi City like? He hasn't seen Longxue Mountain. Even if it is a wagon wheel, it can be entered. The city is barely a few large shops, mainly making mountain specialties. Within a year In the spring and autumn seasons, there will be caravan packhorses passing by. Now this one, there is no trace of the original Lanzhi City, all the stone roads, and there are at least four carriages running in parallel. , Both sides of the street are full of shops with large quantities of goods,
Lanzhi was originally a small mountain town. Although the Northwest turmoil did not affect Lanzhi, the migrants from the north also had a great impact on Lanzhi. In addition, the Southwest Dragon family opened its door to the northwest in order to accept the refugees. Some of the Lanzhi people chose to move to the southwest. As a result, the population of Lanzhi city dropped sharply from more than 20,000 to less than 5,000. Almost all the people who could walk were gone. Most of the remaining people were helpless. Move, or reluctant to let the common people of this homeland,
No one thought that Laneige would become what it is now. It was an overnight change from a pheasant, from an obscure mountain town to a golden route with the trade roads of the east and west continents. Tens of thousands came from the imperial wilderness areas. There are countless businessmen from the two sides, plus the refugees from the southwestern region, a small city of 20,000 people, and it turned into a city with a huge population of 200,000 in a month and a half. The wasteland that used to be worthless is now covered by countless stacked wooden houses
Here, whether you are from the Empire, from China, or from the steppes, you are here to do business, and you can all be traded. As for leaving here, it is their own business to continue to fight for life and death. In the Empire In the region where commerce and trade are at the core, with the guarantee of the empire, no forces dare to make mistakes. In the two years since the empire intervened in China and Bahia, such a concept has been accepted by all parties in China and Bahia, and it is brought by absolute force. The absolute stability here is the main reason why Lange City has become a golden place. Otherwise, a battlefield that will be seen back and forth, who would dare to come here to do business?
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Longxueshan’s mouth. If he hadn’t seen this scene with his own eyes, even if someone told him, he would have laughed. The small town of Lanzhi, the rich and powerful people were full and sent a caravan here. ? However, the situation in front of us is naked, the powerful and powerful from all over the country, and all forces really gather in the mountain city of Lanzhi. I did not expect that the city of Lanzhi turned into what it is now in just one and a half months. , What did you do to Laneige,
I was still thinking that if I find an opportunity, I will first occupy Lanzhi with one hand. Even if the empire is pursued, I can say that the city of Lanzhi is just a river away from the area controlled by the Long family. From the beginning of the Southwest Dragon In the decades since the rise of the home, Lanzhi City has actually been recognized as the periphery of the Southwest Long Family. For Lanzhi City, although the Long Family does not have the name of real control, it is a real controller. Xueshan believes that the Dragon Family’s decades of control cannot be comparable to the empire that has just settled in Lanzhi City for more than a month. Even in Lanzhi City, I don’t know how many people are looking forward to entering the Long Family. Laneige, in the hearts of Zhongbian people, no matter how good the empire is, it is also an outsider! But now, Longxueshan is shaken
,
The situation of made him feel a little helpless. If according to the wishes of the original residents in Lanzhi City, the Long Family’s rule of Lanzhi naturally deserves its name. The problem is that these people in front of him are born in the Western Continent. The people, even those with the face of the surplus, are the locals from Laneige?
Who knows how many forces are involved in it, let alone other foreigners, the flags planted on the Zhongbian caravans crowded on the road have already made Longxueshan's heart look distraught
The golden long wind flag of the Li nationality, the Ming Huangshan party flag of the Song nationality, and various colors of flags, at a glance, it looks like a sea of flags,
The first-class celebrities like Li Song don’t say that since Zhang’s family died in the Imperial Capital, the Li family was suppressed after they went south, and almost the entire family of the Tang clan was destroyed in Linhang, and they originally controlled the government affairs of China and Bahia. , Financial resources, the four first-class military powers, only the Southern Song people still have power. Only the purple representing the second-class family and the withered yellow of the third-class family can make Longxue Mountain messy in the wind. Feel
Lanzhi City, how many powerful caravans are there in China and Biya?
Now that the power of China and Bialand is in control, it is no longer the first-class gate lords at the time, but the second- and third-ranked nobles who were originally under the first class, especially the southern aristocratic group that had been suppressed by the north. After being hit twice in succession by the great northern aristocratic group, it quickly rose to power in the court and began to grasp real power
Even if it is the Long Family, it is still the wish of the Southern Group. How can they not tear their faces with the second and third nobles who hold the real power, and the caravans of these second and third nobles seen by Long Xueshan The flag almost encompasses more than 80% of the nobles in Central and Bahia.
Longxueshan's face is blue all the way, the hand holding the horse whip gurgling, the eyes are full of cracking coldness,
The more than one hundred thousand dragons of the dragon family were fighting on the front line in blood, and behind, it was these elites who were doing business with the prairie people. Just now, he saw a second-class blue The leader of the Shanbo caravan and a businessman from the Yelü family leaned back and talked happily. What they were talking about turned out to be about weapons and equipment.
If it were not for suppressing the anger in his heart, Long Xueshan would almost cut it with a sword. It took so much effort to fight the deadly battle of two generations of Patriarchs, and the blood of more than a hundred thousand dragons’ children. That’s the result, how not This made this general of the Long Family feel chilling, but he couldn’t do it,
The Dragon Family wants to win the hearts of the people of Central and Biaya, and the hearts of the people of Central and Biaya seem to belong to the masses of civilians, but in fact, it is still in the hands of these dignitaries in Central and Biacia
For this, the Long Family can be regarded as having a deep understanding
A generation of famous general, Longyang, bathed in Yanzhou, carried the Yelü family's army and recovered the last piece of dignity for Zhongbia, but how? The crime was so heinous, the Long family was immediately stigmatized by countless people. Outside of the southwest, Longxue Mountain was not only slammed in the new Beijing and Hangzhou, but there were people throwing dirt and rotten eggs along the streets. It was like a mouse crossing the street. Everyone shouts and beats,
And the new patriarch Long broke into the area of the prairie people several times, seriously delaying the progress of the prairie people going south, allowing the powerful to escape south safely, the powerful immediately changed their words and said that the Long family is a good person, is the direction of heaven and justice Teacher, the Long Family is like the God of War in China and Biya, and the savior of the world singing together. Regardless of the inside and outside of the Long Family, when you mention the West Army of the Long Family, there is no way to praise a good man without giving a thumbs up. It is worthy of being my species in China and Biya. It’s the situation where the tide is rising and the boats are rising. I have forgotten. Just over half a month ago, how they scolded the Long family and how they caused tens of thousands of the Long family’s children to die in Yanzhou.
are all villains, a group of villains who have forgotten their own gains!
I told you a long time ago that the so-called human heart and the so-called wind direction are not what these powerful and powerful people say! But you just didn't believe it, now you believe it, your head has been chopped off, and no one remembers you well!
In the white dragon family worship hall, the new Patriarch Longpo, with heavy armor and filial piety, has a fierce gaze with cracked corners of his eyes, blood is flowing, holding a hip flask in his hand, and the sound of spitting, gnashing his teeth, is like the impact of an accent. Inside the sacrificial hall, the generals of the Long Family who were kneeling in the Longyang sacrificial hall, all of them reddened in their eye sockets, their bodies were as strong as iron, and the silent scene still made Long Xueshan feel panicked in his heart.
The past patriarchs of the Long Family were all military leaders, few of them died well, most of them were
He died on the battlefield, but his head was chopped off by the enemy after his death. Only Long Yang took office. It was not until a month ago that Long Yang's head was returned to the Long family by the royal court. It was announced that it had been buried, but it was actually vacant. The empty coffin of Longyang, which has been in the worship hall for several months, is truly qualified to enter the Long Family Ancestor’s Tomb. A shriveled and frozen human head, in cold weather, has been running through the northwest for more than ten days. Condensed together, you can't see the true face for a long time, only the right ear is missing half of the invisible earlobe, which proves the identity of the former owner of Long Yang
Secretly buried that day, Longjia Guanglinchuan, who had not snowed for more than 30 years, covered the world with goose feather-like snow, and the cold wind blew all over the city. The tens of thousands of children who died in the battle for Yanzhou were hung. The white sails are flying like a whistling, no one knows what happened except the Long family
"Lord Longxueshan is below!" A young Chinese man wearing the uniform of an emperor official saw Longxueshan below, his eyes brightened, and he quickly walked down the steps. The family crest of the Long family is easy. Acknowledgment, and the breath of the great general on Longxueshan's body is equally unforgettable,
"Your Excellency?"
Long Snow Mountain retracted his gaze from the city hall in front, stepped up the steps seemingly lightly, and stepped down, but he could not wait to step on a pit. Originally, he was planning to annex Lanzhi City, but it has already been thrown away. The clouds are gone, and the court is unable to control the region. The noble clans in the regions of Central and Bahia are already representatives of all regions. Faced with the reshuffle of the new power structure, they will naturally choose the side that is beneficial to them, moving the city of Lanzhi, undoubtedly It is to move 80% of the nobles in China and Biya! Even the Long Family can’t fight against the entire Zhongbian aristocratic class
"There is no seal in Xiabai, I am the head of the Yanzhou Banner of the Imperial Wilderness Army!" The young man's eyes were shining, and his expression was cold. Is it for Master Longxueshan to see and laugh!"
"Your Excellency is so polite. At such a young age, he is already a member of the Imperial Army. It is really admirable." Long Xueshan narrowed his eyes, knowing that the other party was ridiculing his ambition for Lanzhi City. , For a Chinese citizen who became an imperial army officer, he would naturally not be polite, with a smile on his mouth, "It's just that as a Chinese citizen, he is willing to work for a foreign race, is it really puzzling? "
"Haha, Master Long Xueshan is really quick to talk, but unfortunately, these words are useless to me, it is true that I am from the Yanzhou Army." Bai Wufeng grinned, his native Yanzhou Army and Southwest Dragon The family was originally known as the two Great Wars of China and Biyah. Over the years, the two have been secretly competing with each other. I saw Longxueshan, the general of the Southwest Long Family, who had just been promoted to the head of the Yanzhou Banner of the Imperial Wilderness Army. I couldn’t help but provoked. Besides, Long Xueshan’s ambition for Lanzhi City can be felt even by a blind man.
"Born in the Yanzhou Army!" Long Xueshan's cold and arrogant complexion suddenly became serious~IndoMTL.com~ His eyes fell on Bai Wufeng, and he looked back for a few seconds before retracting his gaze. "I thought Yanzhou The army is dead. I didn’t expect to see one here. Regarding what I said just now, I’m sorry, no matter what yours is, at least the Yanzhou army has shed the last drop of blood for Zhongbia, the same. As a member of the Central and Bianbian Army, my Long family is not blind to the Yanzhou Army. The former Patriarch Long Yang once wanted to rejoin the Yanzhou Army in Yanzhou, but unfortunately... ..." Longxueshan's voice stopped, looking quite emotional
"What do you want to say, is the Long Family's kindness?" To Long Xueshan's expectation, the officer from the Yanzhou Army in front of him seemed to become cold all of a sudden, even his eyes began to change. The killing intent is surging
"Your Excellency, what are you?" Long Xueshan frowned slightly, not knowing what he had said wrong, under the eyes of the emperor, he snorted resentfully, "Could it be that the former Patriarch Long Yang told Yan The state army is better and there is a mistake. I think that when the Longyang Patriarch was in Yanzhou, he also gave special care to the remaining members of the Yanzhou Army, and also absorbed some people into the Longjia Army. Unfortunately, the Yanzhou Battle , Basically it’s gone, even if you are not grateful, don’t you need to have this attitude?"
"Yanzhou Army!" Bai Wufeng's eyes were red and terrible. He saw Long Xueshan's blank face and gritted his teeth and said, "You still have a face to mention Yanzhou Army? You know, just last month, I The Yanzhou army belongs to more than 80,000 people. Has it been ordered by your Long Family Patriarch Long Po to slaughter them all?"
