Power and Empire Chapter 3095: Aden Battle Cloud (5)

"The pirates couldn’t count on it. The Longchang Wujia was uprooted again. The Mingyue Chamber of Commerce, which relies on the Imperial Bank, has integrated the commercial power of the entire Longchang Port with the infusion of strong funds, and has a strong impact on all Longchang’s Aden. The expulsion of the merchants was originally set as a bridgehead to block the imperial business forces from going south, but now it has become an embarrassing situation that completely excludes the merchants of Aden

The failure of Longchang Port is equivalent to cutting off the access to the north by Aden merchants. Although Aden merchants can still choose to bypass Longchang, the lack of Longchang Port as the support point of the entire business route has made the Aden merchants. In order to transport the goods to the north of Longchang, the price we need to pay is undoubtedly greatly increased. The result of this is that the quota of the Aden merchants is squeezed by the imperial merchants. At the same time, the price of the goods is also obviously higher. Higher than the price of the imperial commodities, the final situation is that the imperial side of the commodity is continuously imported from Longchang Port, and large quantities are poured into the southern port area of ​​Central Biya. The business advantages that Aden merchants have only established for decades have been taken by the Empire. It broke with strength. . . . . . "-------Excerpted from the third volume of "The Expansion of the Imperial Bank"

In June, the summer heat has become more and more beautiful. The wild flowers all over the mountains and plains are like stars covering the earth, and the streets are also getting in the way of the flowers. Then the season shifted, and the thick new dark green filled people's vision, and the breeze blew hot breath, penetrated into people's skin through thin clothes, and made people's hearts also active. ,

In a gray-white building, there is a very young Chinese woman walking. The footsteps are very regular, slender figure, silky skin, palace dress, black hair curled behind the head, exposing a piece of white skin on the back of the neck, delicate and charming face, charming and slender Danfeng eyes, It gives people a noble and not arrogant feeling. The hot summer is extremely sultry, and the clouds are changing and flowing rapidly. The children from school seem to be urged to fly from the street to the home. Li Yuehua came to the corridor in front of him. At the end of, two Imperial Guards saluted her and opened the door in front of her for her

"Miss Yuehua, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time" said a captain of the guard,

"Thank you" Li Yuehua nodded, and after succinctly thanked him, he entered the spacious office, his eyes fell in front of the bright window, the emperor was standing by the window and looking out, hearing the sound, turning his head, as always. He wore a black emperor's uniform, and his cuffs were decorated with silver military uniforms to set off his youthful body.

"Your Majesty!" Li Yuehua respectfully salutes,

The emperor's eyes flashed, he pointed to a military newspaper on the table, and said solemnly,""This is a report sent by the Biyanan Sea Squadron in the empire. They accidentally encountered the Aden pirates outside of Longchang. If It’s just an ordinary encounter, but according to the confession of the captured Aden pirates, someone from Aden contacted them to attack Longchang Port. It’s no wonder that Longchang Wu’s family chose to attack Lu Yangyu that night, because it could be pushed to the Aden pirates afterwards. , Even if you missed Lu Yangyu, it was enough to cause chaos in the entire Longchang Port and draw everyone’s attention to the attack. No one would have thought that thousands of Aden pirates had already arrived outside of Longchang. The attack on Longchang, if it weren’t for the accidental encounter with our fleet, the current Longchang would have been bloodshed long ago."

"Your majesty meant that it was the pirate contacted by the Wu family?" Li Yuehua picked up the military report, glanced over, and her pretty face could not help but change its color slightly. It said that the pirate was not the Wu family, but Aden. Grand Elder Aglan, seeing this name, could not help Li Yuehua feel that the battle report in his hand was a bit burnt

"If you are asked to fully mobilize the power of the empire in Zhongbia, how sure are you to get rid of this Agren?

The emperor’s gaze was cold, and this Agleen made the fat man feel a sense of danger. This time, in order to fight against the entry of the empire, he did not hesitate to launch a pirate attack. Fortunately, it did not succeed. As far as the whole plan is concerned, it is a lore. Even if the imperial bank talks about its own benefits, it is not as much as a massacre by the Aden pirates, which makes the people of Central and Biyarians more jealous. In the face of absolute force, all words They were all pale and weak, and the position of this elder Agleen in the hearts of Aden merchants made the emperor feel a little bit jealous. Judging from all aspects of intelligence, this elder Agleen was all in the Central and Biya region. If the spiritual leader in the hearts of the Aden people can get rid of Agleun, the Aden people in the entire Central Biya region will be equal to a group of dragons without a leader!

"Your Majesty, this is basically impossible!"

Li Yuehua hesitated and said, "I have also heard about this great elder of Aden who has been entrenched in Central Bahia for more than ten years. One of the great elders of the Red Dragon Palace in Aden, even if he is in Aden, his position It is also similar to the status of a prime minister. In the Red Dragon Palace, which is known as the state religion of Aden, Agleon is ranked second among the four elders, second only to the chief elder who is in charge of the Red Dragon Palace, in Aden. , Has the title of the protector of merchants, and is a highly hierarchical country in Aden. There are few big figures who are willing to say a few words for merchants. He came to Zhongbia 16 years ago and used one person to treat Aden that was originally like scattered sand. Merchants turned into a force, defeating merchants from other countries one after another, turning the entire Central and Bahia market into the largest wealth location of the Kingdom of Aden. Nearly all such people are Adenites, and every one of them is extremely loyal. It’s too difficult for our people to get close, and the whereabouts of the great elder Aglan is secretive, and there is also the cover of the local Aden businessman, it’s difficult to assassinate him"

"Yes, this kind of old fox would have died countless times if it were easy to die"

The fat man sighed, looked at the wild flowers in the mountains outside the window, and said in a condensed voice, "This time I borrowed the hands of the Lu family to completely control Longchang Port. I thought that the people of Aden were just a pile of scattered sand, under the impact of the Imperial Bank. , It must be a collapse across the board, but with the great elder Agleon, I am afraid that it will not be so easy. Although the empire has strong funds, the resources and connections built by the people of Aden in China for more than 100 years in business , It can’t be taken lightly. The second fund of the empire must be disbursed immediately, and the Aden people must have no time to react and drive them out of the port of Liucheng in the first time."

"Yes, I understand." Li Yuehua nodded. In order to seize Liucheng Port, the emperor invested 1 million imperial gold in the early stage, and the so-called follow-up was a full 3 million imperial gold. Such a huge influx of funds The Port of Six City, unless Aden can gather enough funds, it will be crushed by the impact. However, considering that there are figures like Elder Agleon behind the people of Aden, Li Yuehua can already foresee that this time the Six City The fighting of Hong Kong businessmen is not just as simple as blood flow, but I don’t know that the people of Aden are forced to jump over the wall, I am afraid that everything will be done!

Just let Li Yuehua leave, the guard at the door reported to Yelu Wangting’s special envoy to see him,

"Let him in"

The fat man rubbed his temples with a headache, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of helplessness. The special envoy of Yelu Palace has been here three times. What he did was the one million loan given by the Imperial Bank to Yelu Palace. "Your Majesty, when you are busy I was really terrified when I came to bother me, but the imperial bank’s delay in issuing loans has already attracted a lot of discussion in the royal court."

Sure enough, the envoy had a bitter face when he entered the door. This name is also Zalguo. He is a little shorter, but he has a larger body. He has the fierce appearance of a prairie warrior, but for some reason, his hair is in his ears. The sides of her are pale, and there are some white hairs in the eyebrows. As far as the age of thirty and half is concerned, it gives an unsuitable impression

"The money will be transferred in the near future"

The fat man paused his gaze on his face, and sighed with some helplessness. The Yelv Palace is now a vassal of the empire. In order to help the Yelv Family restore the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Bank agreed to loan one million to the Yelv Palace, but This money has always been stuck in the hands of Princess Mingyue. Princess Mingyue deliberately stayed on the front line of the river. In name, she helped the refugees stranded in Central and Bahrain. In fact, she was hiding from this incident.

In the final analysis, the hatred between Yelu’s family and the Royal Family of Zhongbia is not so easy to dissolve. After all, Yeluguda slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Zhongbia people in the Battle of Linhang, resulting in more than one million refugees. Starving to death and freezing to death in winter, the tens of millions of refugees from China and Biyah who have returned south on the side of the river are all the proceeds of the looting and capture of the Yelu family during the war.

Princess Mingyue deliberately hid in the Dahe Road, which resulted in the delay in disbursing the money

"Thank your Majesty" Zalguo looked up excitedly, hesitated and said, "This time, entrusted by His Highness Qiyeguang, there is one more thing to come here specifically for His Majesty Bingcheng"

"Oh? What's the matter?" The young lord standing by the window looked over his shoulders and looked back.

"The cold people from the north of the grassland have moved south and have invaded half of the area of ​​the northern grassland. Now not only the Yelu Palace, but also people from all parts of the north have suggested that they should be sent back to the northern grassland." Zharguo looked solemn, especially Explained to the emperor what the cold people in the northern part of the grassland are, and the relationship between the various parts of the grassland and the cold people in the northern grassland. It is said that just ten days ago, even the most abundant Yanmu grassland was lost. If you continue to sit and watch, I am afraid that the entire northern grassland will become the land of the cold people, so His Highness Qi Yeguang specially asked his subordinates to petition, and please allow your Majesty to agree to the Royal Court of Yelu to participate in this battle! "

"Since the survival of the northern grassland is involved, it is reasonable for the Yelu family to participate in the war. I agree."

The fat man was silent for a few seconds, and said that he had heard about the cold people going south to the northern grasslands. He also heard that the northern court did not perform well. I don’t know that it was because most of the powerful grassland tribes chose to go south. , Caused the great loss of strength in the northern grassland. It was because the new King Khan of the northern court was too poor in fighting. Anyway, the northern court was suppressed by the cold people. One-half of the land was already covered by the cold. In the Yanmu Caochang that just ended, the royal court suffered heavy losses. More than 30,000 cavalrymen died in the Yanmu Caochang, and even King Khan of the Northern Wangting was seriously injured. The subordinates risked their lives to break through, so that they can be considered ashamed of not being caught by the cold people

According to the number and equipment of the cold people, there is no such combat power.

According to the intelligence, the total number of cold people who moved south this time is between five and six hundred thousand, and the number of soldiers is about one hundred thousand. Although the Northern Court has suffered damage, it still has tens of thousands of elites. Cavalry, it is very difficult to say that all the cold people are wiped out, but it will definitely not be the defeated situation in front of you. The real reason is because the cold people go south, like a coward who has entered the northern grassland. The grassland king's court has always been deliberately built to be strong, and it will be a great crush

The people in the cold regions are already sturdy and tough. They go south with the desire to survive. When they fight, they are naturally brave and not afraid of death. Although they are infantry, they are determined not to retreat in the face of the impact of the prairie cavalry. They have survived several battles. , Has made the grassland side a little bit afraid. The several defeats of the grassland king’s court have also made it clear to the other ministries that were originally suppressed by the king court~IndoMTL.com~ It turns out that the king court has long been worthy of the name. Still willing to work for the royal court

Faced with the attack of the cold people, it is natural to hide and hide, run and run. This is the habit of steppe nomads. The prairie is as big as there is no fixed gathering place, and they take the lookout for the enemy’s attack. It’s not a shame to go, but it’s a strategy for preserving the tribe. The tribes start to waver, and rely on a royal court, and naturally they can’t hold it. The royal court, even the native grassland, can’t be deterred, let alone deterred. The big clans who have been moving south to the northern grassland have always been obsessed with the northern grassland. It’s no wonder that the various forces on the grassland are ready to move. The northern court is obviously no longer able to do so. At this time, whoever returns to the prairie can definitely replace the court

The most important thing in each department is still profit. The fat is the first, and everyone wants to take a bite. As for the ancestral homeland, that is to say, if anyone really takes it seriously, it is a joke! However, for the empire, it would be a good thing if the various ministries could really take back the northern grasslands. Although the northern court had not dared to fight the empire, it was still a hegemon on the northern grasslands. Because the tribe moved south, almost There is no threat to the opponent. If it is allowed to develop, I am afraid that it will be restored to the previous level in a few years, and it is good to let the ministries go to the northern grassland to play a fight.

"Your Majesty, the Admiralty Urgent Report" At this time, a guard officer walked in from the outside, fighting for his body in front of the fat man

"The Admiralty?" The fat man was stunned. He took the emergency report and looked over. A pair of eyebrows were twisted together. As expected, the Aden people's revenge was very fast. The Aden Navy, which could not be curled out, suddenly appeared in In the southern waters of Central Piazza, and the number is staggering, the Admiralty believes that this time, the Aden navy may have come out in full force and pounced directly in the direction of Central Pia.rw
