Power and Empire Chapter 3207: Jagged Xinjing (4)
Lu Yangyu walked into the lobby of the Bai family and, as a special envoy of the empire, met with Bai Lie, the head of the Bai family. When he was in Liuchenggang, the Bai family was the main customer of foreign trade. For this man in his sixties, he was treacherous as a fox. It is not the first time that Lu Yangyu has dealt with the general Patriarch of the Bai family, but the sight in front of him still made Lu Yangyu's eyes squinted.
There are not only Bai Lie, the head of the Bai family, but also a dozen core figures of the Bai family in the entire hall. It can be said that the entire Bai family’s senior leaders are here. Since the outbreak of the Emperor Jingxi Road incident, the name of the deacon of the Imperial Bank, Lu Yangyu Like Zhenlei, it spread throughout China and Piazza. The Lu family has become the second only to the Li family in the Dijing West Road area.
For the sake of Lu Yangyu, the northern empire even went south, even if Yu Fenglong, the prime minister of the court who wanted to favor the Aden people, could only send him back to the empire after detaining Lu Yangyu for a month. Without daring to hurt him at all, it can be seen that Lu Yangyu’s identity at this moment is an existence that is unwilling to provoke for the entire southern part of Central Biyadh. The man from the empire is Lu Yangyu. This alone allows him to see people in the past. The lord of the white family with a three-point smile, at the moment on the stage outside Zhuo Li with his negative hand, his sharp eyes looked like a knife through the narrowed eyes, and his whole body exuded some indescribable aura
" When I heard the fall of Linhang that day, I thought Yang Yu had already died in the country, and I was very sad for a while. I didn’t expect how long it would take. Yang Yu is already a height that I need to look up to. It’s just that Yang Yu is in the middle. As a Biya, he has taken refuge in Ximan and abandoned his homeland. Has he ever wondered how he would meet the ancestors of the Lu family after he died? "Bai Lie looked at Lu Yangyulong walking along, and he was completely calm about the pressure on the Bai family. The expression, the corner of the old bark-like mouth suddenly sighed
"I don’t think there is anything ashamed of my ancestors. The empire is not the Aden that ravaged Luzhou. The empire came to the west, and there was no record of massacre of the Chinese and Byanians, and it was also the empire urging the Yelv family to release millions in the north The people from China and Bahrain are returning south, just for this, I, Lu Yangyu, can face anyone." Lu Yangyu met his gaze without letting go, with a faintly challenging smile on the corner of his mouth, haha smiled, arrogant and dry.
"Okay, well said!" Bai Lie gave a thumbs up. He didn't expect to see him in a few years. Lu Yangyu was already an outstanding figure who had the upper hand everywhere. "They all said that you Lu Yangyu abandoned your homeland and embraced the empire. Traitors, but just based on what you said, tens of millions of people from China and Bahia are returning south, it’s enough to wash everything away. Come on, you shouldn’t be as simple as reminiscing about the past this time, but if it involves asking me for nothing. Home has become the hidden line of the empire. Needless to say, you know, the Bai family has been neutral for decades, and even Long Po was rejected by me just now. Why do you think it can move me?"
" I did not come to make the Bai family a hidden line of the empire. I just came to tell the Bai family that the times have changed. If the Bai family still upholds the previous neutral posture, the final result will be the Southwest Long family, the Song family and the Lu family. "Tripartite besieging" "Lu Yangyu stopped in the hall, looked sharply at the Bai family, and smiled at the corner of his mouth
"Nonsense, my Bai family has been standing in Xupu for more than a hundred years, and there are tens of thousands of flying bear troops guarded, who dares to besiege our Bai family!"
Lu Yangyu's words immediately exploded the entire hall. The Bai family stood up and accused them. Just now the lord of the Long Family, Long Po, did not dare to say such things. Who does this Lu Yangyu think he is? The three besieged Bai's house, a joke! Although the Bai family is neutral, it is not weak to be deceived by itself. The more than 10,000 Fei Xiong troops under the Bai family are well-equipped and composed entirely of Bai family children. Anyone who wants to move the Bai family must consider whether they can afford the Bai family. 'S counterattack "
"Yang Yu, you've gone too far with this. It depends on the original feelings, let's go, I won't embarrass you!" Bai Lie waved his hand, suppressed the curse of the crowd, and turned around. Looking towards Lu Yangyu, his face is cold
Lu Yangyu glanced across the crowd, sighed, stared at the towering mountains in the distance, and slowly said, ""The Bai family can be neutral, and it can live in the gap between the Zhongbia court and the southern mountains for decades. It is because the court is supporting the Bai family. The dragon class and the Song family need the Bai family as a trade transfer station. Naturally, they are polite, but now the court is unable to protect itself and cannot take care of the Bai family. Now the empire is involved in the south, the only trade of the Bai family. The identity has lost its use, and the Lu family has expressed their willingness to unite with the Long family, which makes the Bai family no longer rely on. If you are in the camp, it is better to say that you have to be neutral. If you replace it with anyone, you will be the first time
Take the Bai family as an object that must be eradicated. Since the Bai family refuses to listen, then treat it as I didn’t say it."
"I don’t know the so-called guy, I’m not afraid to flash my tongue when I say this. My Bai family has been neutral for more than a hundred years. This is something everyone knows. The other three attacked us only after eating too much." The Bai family said, "Besides, my Bai family has no interest worthy of the three attackers. Even if the Bai family is really defeated, it will not pay off!"
"Haha, the Bai family is really in Baoshan and don’t know it. He also said that there is no place worthy of the three attackers. Will this be sober until death?"
Lu Yangyu suddenly laughed, and his contemptuous expression made everyone in the Bai family not know what to say,
Bai Lie looked blank and whispered, "Is the Bai family in Baoshan?" As the head of the Bai family, how could he not know that the Central Court can tolerate the neutrality of the Bai family, but in fact it is more necessary for the Bai family As a balance lever to balance the southern mountains and the Southwest Longjia, the Bai family is located in the southern mountains and the Southwest Longjia power is like a point of strength. For many years, if the southern mountains rise, the court will let the Bai family join hands with the Southwest Longjia. Suppress the southern mountains. If the Southwest Dragon family rises, the court will use the Bai family to unite the Song people. The Bai family is far from being as simple as it looks outside. The Bai family not only uses the help of the court to have its own smuggling fleet, but also the South. One of the biggest transfer points for arms trade, because of the neutral status of the Bai family, whether it is the blocked Southern Song or the Southwest Long family, before the imperial merchants intervened, they used the Bai family line to obtain high-quality products from the Central and Bahia region. Weapon
But if the Bai family has enough resources to fascinate the three families, that would be nonsense
But looking at Lu Yangyu’s expression, it doesn’t look like an exaggeration. At present, the situation in the South is quite clear. The Long family is the largest and the Song family is second. Although the Lu family was hit hard by the Lushui War, it launched 30,000 afterwards. The army regained Luzhou, and it also showed quite strong. The three major forces faintly took charge of the entire south, and the total strength of the army added up. I am afraid that it will be more than 300,000. When I think of the 300,000 army attacking the Bai family at the same time, according to the current strength of the Bai family , I'm afraid that it won't last three days. The back of Long Po hurriedly flashed through Bai Lie's mind. He didn't think there was anything at all, but now it seems that it is more like a decision of some kind!
is not really going to fight my Bai family! Bai Lie’s pale hair stood up a little, waved his hand to calm everyone down, and looked at Lu Yangyu sincerely. When it comes to the future of the entire Bai family, he said something arrogant at this time. Said that the relationship between you and me is extraordinary. No matter what I say, Bai Lie will never blame you."
"Since Patriarch Bai Lie said so, then I will just say it."
Lu Yangyuyuan stood proudly and calmly said, "The Dragon Family and the Empire lost 200,000 troops in the two wars, and the Southwest War was severely damaged by the Song Clan. Although it is still known as the 200,000 Dragon Family Army, In fact, the internal troops are already exhausted and the logistics are tight. In the past few months, the Bai family has seen the Long family recruit a soldier!"
"This is, the Long Family has never recruited new soldiers since the court retreated to the southwest!"
"But what does this have to do with the danger of our Bai family? Isn't the Southwest Dragon family going to beat our Bai family without recruiting soldiers, it's extremely absurd, a joke!" There was a sound of gracious discussion, and there were several disdainful voices in it. Laugh,
Bai Lie glared at him before calming down again. Bai Lie said in a deep voice, "Only with this, it is far-fetched to say that the Long Family will attack us, let alone the Song and Lu Family,"
Lu Yangyu glanced at Bai Lie and continued, "The Song clan suffered a miserable defeat in the southwest, and almost even Song Que got in. In addition, the southern mountain rebellion, although suppressed, the accumulation of decades was wiped out. This time, he moved north again. In fact, being able to mobilize 20,000 troops is actually a hard work. If the logistical problems cannot be solved, the only way is to return to the southern mountains. According to the style of Song Quemou, how can it be possible to let the 20,000 Song army do useless actions. The route to the north has always been in the direction of the Lu family, but this time, I chose the side of the Bai family. Haven’t you thought that the nearest material hoarding area along the route of the Song nationality’s northward entry is enough? The place that supports the 20,000 army, I believe that without me, everyone in the Bai family should also be able to think of
"Materials that can support an army of 20,000?"
In the hall of , the Bai family looked at each other from a high level. This time the Song family was indeed uncharacteristically, passing by the edge of the Bai family’s control zone. According to reason,
Now that the three families are united, it is obviously better to go to the front line of the Lu family. The strangeness here has suddenly changed the complexion of the Bai family. Is the Song family really coming to the Bai family? I can’t think of this kind of thing, and the more I dare not think about it, the more this idea makes the Bai family’s mind go through.
" Twenty thousand troops are not a small number. In the Bai family, is there such a place?
Where is ! Can’t think of it!"
Bai Lie’s old fingers squeezed sharply, his eyes flashed, his face was gloomy, and he wanted to drip water, and suddenly said, "It’s the Heyang Ji of my Bai family. The Song nationality’s northward route is indeed from Passing by Heyang Ji"
"Yes, Bai Yangji!"
"My God, why did I forget Bai Yangji?" There was a horrified voice all around. Baiyangji was the largest trading bazaar in the south of the Bai family. Although the 20,000 army is not known whether it is true or not, but Judging from the judgment, the Song nationality’s 20,000 troops marching north want to stand firm, and there is really only one way to occupy Baiyangji. Hearing that now, the Bai family’s heart has already believed most of it,
"Where is the Lu family, why is the Lu family..." Someone can’t wait to ask them, obviously they have panicked, and in a blink of an eye it is the scourge of genocide, and no one can bear it.
"The last is the Lu family"
Lu Yangyu glanced at Bai Lie whose face was discolored." The Lujia Lushui battle was damaged and the Lu family camp was destroyed by the Aden people. Although Luzhou was eventually retaken, it was said that recovery in a short period of time was impossible. This time they unite to control the South. If they want to take the opportunity to expand, soldiers and materials are their biggest weakness, and these are what the Bai family now has. In terms of soldiers, millions of refugees from the north have flowed into the Bai family’s land. For the three families They are all the best soldiers. In terms of materials, the Bai family has been neutral for more than a hundred years. It has not been affected by the war. The hoarded materials are enough to support the three large-scale expansion. If the Bai family joins the camp, the three can get help from the Bai family, or not yet. Will launch, but the Bai family actually chose to be neutral, and the three naturally do not need to be polite. If the Bai family is not taken down, how to support the expansion of the three!"
"His" in the hall, there was a sound of inhalation, Bai Lie's body shook, and the entire Bai family collectively lost their voice, only the sound of the cold draught wind.
"Go ahead, tell the Bai family what you need to do?" Bai Lie took a deep breath. The previous tough attitude towards the empire has softened a lot. Facing the three major military groups in the south, the Bai family It seems too weak and weak. Facing the difficulty of extermination, even the Bai family has to adapt to the situation.
"Naturally, I hope that the Bai family will announce that it will join the Southern League. As long as the Bai family announces to join the Southern League, the other three will have no reason to fight against the Bai family. If the Bai family is actively supplying supplies, then everything will be safe!" Lu Yangyu shrugged. Shrug your shoulders,
"Yangyu persuaded my Bai family to join the Southern Alliance. What good is it for the empire?" Bai Lie's eyes turned bright and he said word by word. "As the head of the Bai family, I don't believe in Yangyu As a representative of the empire, he would come to Bai’s family to persuade because of the interests of the Southern Alliance.” Lu Yangyu sighed secretly. Jiang Guoran was still very old. Bai Lie’s words can be said to be straightforward. There is no more room for ambiguity,
Lu Yangyu pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's very simple. Our Majesty hopes to establish the Southern Branch of the Imperial Bank within the Bai family. To put it bluntly, we only hope that the expansion of the Southern Alliance will expand the business route. That's it"
"That’s it?"
Bai Lie's pupils shrunk a bit, his expression stunned,
"That's it!" Lu Yangyu said categorically
"Good, deal!" Bai Lie laughed and said, what is the Imperial Bank? The Bai family in the south has only heard a little about it. I heard that it is an institution that borrows money from everywhere. It is a new industry of the empire, so I didn't feel anything wrong. On the contrary, Lu Yangyu was so incomprehensible that Lu Yangyu was just to establish a so-called branch, but he didn't know how much storms would be set off once the imperial bank's entire capital predators intervene in southern China Now, Bai’s family is located in the center of the three houses and is the largest trade distribution center in the south. It is the best choice whether it is geographical or commercial location.
Coming out of the Bai’s house, Lu Yangyu walked to the parked carriage, the attendant pulled the car door, Lu Yangyu bent over and got in, and sat down on the sofa where almost half of his body was sunk
put the signed document on the table
On , Lu Yangyu rubbed his swollen temples and looked at the scene of the mountains and forests facing backwards from the carriage. In his heart, he was full of unparalleled admiration for the emperor. It was really amazing, only from the Song Dynasty. On the way in, I saw the attempts of the three southern companies to raid the Bai family. I don’t know what their expressions would be if they received news from the Bai family claiming to join the Southern League.
shouldn’t be happy. This feeling is like being cut off halfway. As long as the news of the Bai family’s joining the Southern League spreads, the three companies will never covet the Bai family anyway. I will move about the Bai family, because once the Bai family is moved, who in the other southern provinces will believe in the integration strategy of the three families, once the integration of the south becomes a melee, it will be quite choking
The three powers are expanding. There was originally a big supplement for the Bai family. The three were afraid that they had already planned it. They waited for the Bai family to declare neutrality, which is to make a full march to divide the Bai family. Now it is flying and fighting. Asking for money, asking for money for recruiting, money for buying food, and wooing other southern provinces to ask for money, and those who can provide this fund, I am afraid that the Imperial Bank can do it. At that time, as the three companies expand in the south, they will be unified. The various resources in the South are collateral. According to the characteristics of the Imperial Bank, the three companies who want to obtain war loans must pay considerable benefits. The so-called Southern Alliance is actually helping the Imperial Bank to work!
The emperor’s move, it is estimated that even if the three families know that they will vomit blood, they can only bear it.
" The Xupu Bai family announced to join the Southern League! "The news from the south shook the city in front of you. For the civil servants full of courts, the rebellion of the chess piece of Xupu Bai family ~ IndoMTL.com~ made the civil servants feel like a face Shang was slapped fiercely, like the rebellious rebellion of the Long Family, only need to mobilize the Bai Family to keep him trapped in the southwest for decades, and regard the Bai Family as an important piece of balance between the southern mountains and the Long Family. Chess pieces have always been the things that court officials are most proud of. Who would have thought that Xupu Bai’s family fell into the arms of the traitor at once,
"In the beginning, Bai's neutrality should not be tolerated, but now it’s fine. He lifted a rock and hit himself in the foot!"
" The Bai family has been neutral for more than a hundred years, and this time it is also on the side of the rebels. Is it really the loss of luck? "The civil servants discussed at the court meeting, and they argued about Xu Pu Bai’s rebellious enemy. You die or die, even surpassing the argument that the Fifth Army raided the Yaden Army's left camp last night. Prime Minister Yu Fenglong couldn't see it. After a dry cough in his mouth, the ministers stopped arguing and Yu Fenglong stood up from inside. Reported to the emperor of last night’s victory
"A big victory again?’
The emperor of Zhongbia looked at Yu Fenglong indifferently. The so-called victory of hundreds of people in Xian County in front of him had already made the emperor vigilant in his heart. This time, Yu Fenglong came forward to report victory again, and he didn’t believe it anymore. , Just nodded, neither offered a reward nor said what to do. Instead, he asked about Xupu Bai’s betrayal. It’s a far cry from the previous review in person.
Tang Yu, the head of the military cabinet, stood in the first position of the military minister with a sullen face, and felt a pain in his heart. What kind of world is this? The fighting of tens of thousands of troops has severely damaged the people of Aden and burned percent of the left line of the Aden army With sixty food and grass, three thousand assault troops killed more than two thousand in battle, and they are not yet a betrayal of the Xupu Bai family.
