Power and Empire Chapter 3063: The Blazing Fire (24)

The longluoshan hot spring on Dijing West Road with misty water, hot spring water containing considerable minerals gushes from the mountainside, braving a faint white mist, following the mild summer breeze, deliberately piled up along the way The winding water channel flows from top to bottom into a huge palace covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters. Since the foot of the mountain, it has been under martial law by the emperor. The hot spring is not open to the outside world, and it has never been opened in China. During the imperial period, this was one of the imperial palaces. The Yelv family entered the capital. This palace built next to the hot springs began to be deserted. Because the people of the grasslands believed in gods, especially for rivers and lakes, they had a natural awe of rivers and lakes.

After learning that the water here is warm and pleasant all year round, Yeluhongtai ordered the hot spring palace to be sealed off with a green face

For more than two years, the entire palace was completely isolated. The original village at the foot of the mountain was forcibly driven away by the grassland army. Only one palace was completely covered by weeds and vines. In winter, it was originally The hot spring effect has made this place green in winter, and it also convinced the people of the grassland that this is an area blessed by the gods, and even a horse farm was built at the foot of the mountain. The hot spring water flow here is not too big. But with the right temperature, clear spring water, rich minerals, and a great terrain overlooking the entire Dijing West Road, Berlante Bonnie entered the Dijing West Road, and women have a natural preference for hot springs, not to mention Burlan. Te Bonnie, a female knight who sleeps and eats all the year round, has long heard from the emperor that hot springs have a magical effect on women's skin care. After learning about the situation, she was ecstatic and immediately reactivated the place.

A black carriage was crushing the not-so-level mountain road. Under the **** of a group of imperial cavalry, it slowly entered the gate of the huge villa in front of you, and the imperial guards at the door checked the relevant documents. Later, he gave a military salute to Li Yuehua in the carriage, handed back his certificate, and said in a condensed voice, "Master Li Yuehua, Your Majesty is in Hot Spring No. 6 now"

Blante Bonnie was injured. The emperor mobilized Li Yuehua to take charge of Emperor Jingxi Road and was fully responsible for the military and political affairs of the empire in Central and Biyaa. This news was spread out by Li Long, and it was no longer a secret. What the forces value more is the intention of the empire to suddenly push Li Yuehua, the former princess of the Li clan, to this position. Originally, he thought it might be playing an emotional card with the Zhongbian people on Dijing West Road. If the ruler of the empire is a The high-ranking nobles of China and Biya can naturally weaken the resistance of Dijing West Road to the greatest extent, but soon, all the forces were completely shocked by the news of the return of tens of millions of people from China and Biya. In this case, Li Yuehua replaced Berland Bonnie’s presiding over the affairs of Dijing West Road is a completely different concept

As Li Yuehua entered the Dijing West Road, another imperial organization also appeared in front of the entire Chinese and Bianist forces, that is, the Imperial Bank! The Empire Bank is quite unfamiliar to the forces in China and Biya, and I don’t even know what the role of this commercial group that lends money to people everywhere is. But if it’s from Europa, the name of the Empire Bank is like a thunderbolt, and this time The imperial bank really showed before the power of China and Biya is a woman, Princess Mingyue, the eldest princess of China, who came with the news that Li Yuehua became the ruler of the Imperial West Road, and that Princess Mingyue of China and Biya served as the imperial bank. Message from the head of the branch

Wind and rain are coming!

At this moment, even a fool can feel that the empire’s such mobilization is aimed at the tide of the tens of millions of Chinese returning south that has shaken the whole of the country. The forces of all parties are also dumbfounded this time. This is the first time I have seen such a magical method, just using the act of releasing the population to oppress a big country with tens of millions of people to such an extent

It turns out that there are still wars like this! After the shock from the beginning, all the forces were amazed at Yelv Hongtai's decision. It was a magical stroke!

Yes, where is the sincerity of reconciliation? It is basically an offensive, that is, a war. In the eyes of all forces, this offensive consisting of tens of millions of returnees from Biyanan is like a prairie fire. The fire hung in the southern part of Central and Piazza. Although the various forces did not know that this was the result of the empire behind the scenes, they also knew how difficult it was to relocate tens of millions of people. It was simply an impossible task. To do, even if it is to take out all the existing food in Central Bia, it will not solve the stomachs of these tens of millions of refugees, but let it go, once the riot is a big storm that fluctuates the entire southern part of Central Bia,

These people from Central and Biyadh, who kept pouring from the north to the south day and night, did what the Yelü family’s 100,000 cavalry could not achieve, that is, they completely dragged down the Long family

Although the Yelu family turned over in the first battle of Hanshui River, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Yelu family suffered a lot of damage after all. Even if they want to recover, it will be a matter of years later. During this time, the biggest thing they faced The threat is no longer the embarrassing royal court in the north, nor the rebellious tribes that have been thrown into the arms of the empire, but the Southwest Dragon's home, which is fighting hard in the south of the river.

Since the Long Family has mastered the power of the Central and Biadian court, it has mobilized the entire force of the entire Central and Biacia to expand the 300,000 army. The Long Family is the main force, and the combat power of the Central and Biayan has long been different from what it used to be. A hundred thousand troops are training in the big river day and night, and there is a steady flow of supplies and food, and the number of cavalry has broken 30,000 horses for an unprecedented number of times. The fighting spirit is soaring, the dragons and horses are screaming and roaring. The heart of the Emperor Jing’s counterattack has become clear like a sharp sword about to be out of the sheath, let alone the Long Family’s plan to use a huge northern expedition to establish his intention to ascend to the emperor of Central Bia.

Now, it’s all over

If these tens of thousands of refugees return to the south, the Long Family will not be able to go to Beijing, and when these refugees are settled, the best fighter for the Northern Expedition has passed,

"This is the request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the purchase of food from the Central and Bahia side. Your Majesty has already seen it. The princess is about to intervene as the Imperial Bank. It is better to take a look too!"

Li Yuehua nodded with a shining gaze, took the ID from the guard, and sat down on the seat again, glanced at the bright moon princess who was wearing a white palace dress on the opposite side, and the twinkling eyes, and then glanced at the carriage The scene of the guards from the outside, with a bitterness in the corners of their mouths, pushing a document to the opposite Princess Mingyue

Princess Mingyue took the document and held it in her hand. She opened the page with her white fingers. She glanced over her pretty face and was slightly surprised. This is a report sent by the Chinese and Biya court through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The huge pressure brought by the tens of thousands of people returning to the south, China and Bahia hope to buy a large amount of food from the empire to save the emergency, but the food money they are willing to pay is pitifully small. In fact, it is not that the money is low. It is estimated that this is already China. Chaotang currently has the largest amount of funds that can be mobilized, but compared to the amount of food that needs to be purchased, it seems pitiful. Closing the report in her hand, Princess Mingyue glanced at the opposite Li Yuehua with a weird look, and said with a wry smile.

"This time so much grain trade, even if it is to mobilize the funds of the whole of China and Biya, it may not be solved, not to mention that the Long family will deliberately withdraw half of the funds from it for use as collateral, and the rest I'm afraid that I can't even buy 10% of the food I need. How can your Majesty agree to this price? I, the person in charge of the so-called Imperial Bank branch temporarily assigned, is even more of an empty shell. Is it really an imperial bank in a word? Is it possible to transfer so much food from the empire?"

"It seems that the princess still doesn't know the real horror of Imperial Bank"

The corner of Li Yuehua’s beautiful mouth, with a mysterious smile, said, “The princess shouldn’t look down on the Imperial Bank. The Imperial Bank is not well-known in Central and Bahia, but if it is in the Obaro region, it is a real monster, but the princess is I was temporarily ordered, but I have not really been to Obaro, so the deviation is understandable. I can only say that in Obaro, the imperial bank borrows almost all over the area of ​​Obaro, 8% Ten royal families are all related to the Imperial Bank, but there are only two branches of the Imperial Bank. One is the southern branch of Obaro. The controlled area involves more than a dozen countries in the south, and it is almost the same as the southern hegemon. The empire competed against the empire. The bank’s guards alone had as many as 80,000, and there was also the princess’s Central and Biyaar branch. "To be honest, I envy the princess. If I were to be in the current position with the Imperial Bank branch. Make a choice in the position of the person in charge, I will choose the person in charge of the Imperial Bank branch! "Li Yueguang coughed sincerely, saying that even if he was in charge of the military and political affairs of the Empire in China, he seemed to be somewhat inferior to that of the head of the Imperial Bank

"Really so powerful?" As soon as these words came out, Princess Mingyue's pretty face showed an unconcealable surprise. Temporarily appointed to be the head of the Central and Biya branch of the so-called Imperial Bank, I thought that the Imperial Bank was a business group similar to the business alliance of the Empire. I never thought that the power of this business group would be sufficient to control the country. I was still a little unwilling in my heart, but at this moment I have to re-examine what Li Yuehua said is somewhat true

"If the princess is in Obaro, just by relying on the identity of the head of the Imperial Bank branch, it will be enough to make many Obaro royal families rush to flatter her. It can be compared to this useless princess of China. Powerful"

Li Yuehua looked and nodded solemnly. "In fact, this time your Majesty let the princess take charge of this negotiation. It was also very kind, because your Majesty believes that if there is anyone in China who can't bear to see so many Chinese people hungry. Death, then the princess must be undoubtedly, so letting the princess be the head of the Imperial Bank must be the most dedicated."

Seeing Princess Mingyue fell into silence, Li Yuehua also closed her mouth, and the carriage shuttled between the wide pavilions. The water from the hot springs flowed forward along the smooth stone-paved waterway, and the water was dripping under the sun. As the person in charge of the empire’s intelligence in Central and Bahrain, Li Yuehua obviously knows much more than Princess Mingyue. His Majesty’s personal visit to the Imperial Capital this time is not idle and boring, but a truly bloodless fight. Use the Li family to take back the imperial emperor, and then concentrate on defeating the Fengtai Ministry in one fell swoop, and promote the peace talks between the Yelu family and the emperor of Zhongbia, so that the long-prepared Northern Expedition of the Long family came to an abrupt end

And the most powerful thing is that this time pushing tens of millions of people from China and Bahrain to return to the south is the real fire. It makes China and Bahia unable to resist even if they want to resist. The Imperial Intelligence Department sent a large number of spies to be caught in it. These people are all Chinese and Bianlian people personally selected by Li Yuehua. These people will infiltrate the provinces, ministries and cabinets of Central Bahia under the arrangement of the resurgence of the Li family. This is only a political, economic, and persecution. The Chinese and Biyaese court came to sell grain with the empire, and the opportunity provided by the empire bank to intervene was the most important method

In Oballo, Li Yuehua has seen the terrible imperial bank. The business alliance is aimed at businessmen from various countries, while the imperial bank is completely facing the powerful and royal families of various countries, and the imperial bank lends him military expenses. , Who likes to have fun, the Imperial Bank loaned him to spend

The release of these loans provided the empire in exchange for the tax power of these countries, ports, cities, and the independent exploitation of various resources. Southern Oubaro, which was originally extremely resistant to the empire, has been wiped out by the Imperial Bank in coastal areas. After controlling most of them, the benefits in exchange for it have already exceeded the loaned out by several times, or even dozens of times. Many materials and products that seem to be worthless in the local area may be worth a hundred times the profit after passing through the empire’s huge commercial routes. , This huge monster formed by the emperor himself almost combined the empire’s strong financial resources, strong military power, and huge commercial power. For the first time, it turned commercial means into an intrusion. If the empire’s early commercial alliance was only one This is a business penetration model, then the Imperial Bank has truly changed from penetration to control

And this time, the emperor appointed Mingyue Princess as the head of the Central Biya branch of the Imperial Bank. The meaning is self-evident. The empire is about to start the Central Biya royal family. The emperor is put back in front, and the other party is also included. A large wave of benefits has made it a "holy king" with its embarrassing reputation comparable to the king. Doesn't it mean that the other party should cooperate in this negotiation. The return of the emperor of China and Biyah, the first nature to deal with It is the powerful dragon family, and the power that can be used, besides the empire, who else can anyone else, China and Bialand want food but can’t afford it, so naturally it has to be mortgaged by something

The emperor’s coveted six ports along the coast of Central Bialand is not a day or two. The heavy taxes on imperial goods after entering the southern part of Central Bialand have also caused the imperial merchants to be quite dissatisfied. These are bound to be this time. The focus of the negotiation,

Because of the emperor's return to the Long Family~IndoMTL.com~The refugees returned to the south, looking for it is already a mess. It is said that Longpo has vomited blood. This time, he forcibly deducted half of his food for military expenses. People scolded, faced with the crying and scolding of countless returnees, who remembers the first general of China and Bahia who fought **** battles with the steppe people. Now China and Bahia have ceased war with the steppe people, and they have left so many. What about the military expenditures? There are thousands of people starving to death on the big river every day. As long as they can find food, there is no need to worry about so much!

China and Biya are obviously anxious. Under the anger of all parties, Long Po has been unable to completely control the court, and even the Long Family Army has heard dissatisfaction. This is also a short time in the Long Family. The sequelae of the large-scale army expansion, if it were the former lineage of the Long family, it was natural to look forward to the dragon breaking the horse, but in order to compensate for the loss later, Long Po absorbed a large number of young people from the refugees suppressed by the steppe people. The soldiers of the Long family naturally knew what happened to the people of Central and Biyadh who came back from the south in ragged clothes. They fought **** and fought to death with the steppe people, not to be able to fight back one day to rescue those compatriots who were oppressed, but Now, the compatriots have returned, but they are holding food, watching these people starve to death. Regarding the military orders issued above, how these soldiers are not angry, they even broke out several times of beating the officers.

And what impressed Li Yuehua the most was the emperor’s magical hand in appointing the princess of Zhongbia as the head of the Imperial Bank branch. Although the reputation of the royal family of Zhongbia is very poor, Princess Mingyue is definitely the outstanding person in it. This negotiation involved the seizure of taxes, ports, and other substantive things. For China and Biya to agree to such an embarrassing request, it is natural that a person who can be trusted by both parties is needed

Such a candidate is simply made for Princess Mingyue
