Iron Dynasty

Hahaha……

Hearty laughter came from Lu Fei and Luo Xin. In the eyes of the two, it was not easy for Lin Youde to be able to hide in the Merchant Council for so long, and to convey a lot of important information.

After the greeting, Lin Youde's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, Now is not the time to relax, the father and son of the Cao family and the Qinglong King took away a large amount of the wealth they looted. This wealth was probably smuggled to the UK a few months ago. man's place.

Damn! Lu Fei scolded, If this killer is caught by me, I must skin them and cramp them.

Lin Youde looked a little regretful. He said, I also made a mistake this time, but this time the three people are too deep, and many congressmen have been buried in the dark.

Probably how many things they took away. Luo Xin asked.

After losing the war again and again, they behaved a little abnormally. They kept asking members to pay money to buy weapons. At the same time, they would kill and loot gold and silver when they didn't go anywhere. I guess they stole at least one million taels of gold and silver. Six million taels of silver, and there are a lot of jewelry and the like. Lin Youde said, This is still under the circumstance that they don't have enough manpower to transport them. If there are, they will be transported more.

That's quite a lot. Lu Fei felt a pain in the flesh, but this was all real money, not land or houses.

Don't just focus on sighing, now it is estimated that you will not be able to recover unless you keep hitting their territory. Luo Xin advised: Let's collect the things that can be seized at present, this time there are many big fish in the city. .

Lu Fei was immediately enraptured, and called his division commander to let them collect the spoils.

After the royal army entered the city, the battle in Guangzhou city came to an end, and a large number of soldiers surrendered to them. When they arrived at the parliamentary station, they found that the members of the parliament were basically killed.

Angry people and soldiers have already unleashed their hatred on them.

It doesn't matter to this Lu Fei and Luo Xin, anyway, in their hands, these nobles are also dead, and now it saves them a lot of things.

After taking control of Guangzhou Cheng, under the leadership of Lin Youde, they immediately cleared the wealth of the lawmakers, and now they all understand a truth.

This war is the same as doing business. The more you fight, the more profitable you need to be. A loss-making war is a heavy burden on the country. Only a profitable war can make the country richer and richer.

In the process of going south this time, the existence of the Merchant Council gave them a reason to clean up the wealthy families, and the wealthy families who were recalcitrant in almost every state and county were fined and confiscated.

The land is distributed to the common people, the houses, and the shops can sell what they can sell, and all the gold and silver items are transported away.

Only then did they understand why the barbarians were keen to go south, because it was a profitable business for them to rob the Great Yu Kingdom, and it was a losing business for the Great Yu Country to fight them.

If things go on like this, Dayu will only lose the bottom.

...

February 25, Qingzhou.

The news of the victory of the Guangzhou war was transmitted from Qingzhou to Qingzhou with the sound of the post generals. The post generals with the victory report rode their horses all the way into Qingzhou City, riding horses and shouting at the same time.

Before arriving at the palace, he immediately presented the battle report to Du Boyuan, the commander of the imperial guards, and the news quickly reached Xiao Ming.

At this time, the officials of the outer palace also heard the news, Pang Yukun got up and left the imperial study.

The city of Guangzhou is broken, and most of the members of the Merchant Council have died. Now the Merchant Council exists in name only. The only pity is that the father and son of the Cao family and the Qinglong King escaped. Pang Yukun showed a pity expression after reading the battle report.

Xiao Ming frowned, The most hateful thing is that they also transported a lot of gold and silver jewelry. These three idiots, do they really think that the British will always protect them?

He comes from modern times, and he naturally knows the face of these robber countries. The father and son of the Cao family defected to the UK with their wealth, but the result must have been taken advantage of by the British.

This UK is really abominable. Everywhere is our Great Yu country. Now that the Merchant Council has been destroyed, we can pull out our hands to clean them up! Pang Yukun said fiercely.

This is also what I thought, but now there is a more difficult problem. Xiao Ming handed the information returned by Wang Xuan to Pang Yukun.

Just glanced at it, Pang Yukun exclaimed: The barbarians have taken refuge in Tsarist Russia! How is this possible?

Nothing is impossible, the Great Yu country is changing, and the barbarians are also looking for a way out. According to Wang Xuan, after the loss of Guandong, the barbarians are also being squeezed by the Ottomans in the west. Facing the feud between us and the Ottomans , Tsarist Russia is the only force he can rely on. Xiao Ming frowned.

In fact, he has been worrying about this matter, but now it has happened. Similar to contemporary history, the nomadic people in the north would rather take refuge in Tsarist Russia than accept it. It can be said that this is the dignity of the nomadic tribe, or it can be said that The wolves despise a group of sheep, and perhaps the barbarians will not surrender to the country of Dayu, which they once became two-legged sheep.

Pang Yukun is no longer unfamiliar with the current situation in the world. He knows that Tsarist Russia is a big country with a population of 46 million, and this country is good at annexing other countries.

Now that the barbarians have thrown themselves into the arms of Tsarist Russia, together with their Cossack cavalry, they will become the strongest enemy in the north of the Great Yu Kingdom.

It's really a wave of unrest. Pang Yukun shook his head with a wry smile. Their internal worries have just been resolved, and now foreign troubles are coming one after another.

Hahaha, Pang Shoufu don't have to worry, today's Great Yu Country is not the Great Yu Country of ten years ago, we can fight back at any time if we invade, and once the railway between Guandong and Chang'an is repaired, we can quickly transport troops to arrive. , then both barbarian cavalry or Cossack cavalry will lose the advantage of mobility. Xiao Ming said loudly.

Pang Yukun came back to his senses, he smiled and said: The emperor said that the old minister was confused for a while. Since the robbers came to the door, they can only compete with them.

Xiao Ming nodded, he said: Don't worry about the north for the time being, Qi Guangyi and Luo Hong are here, they can't turn the sky for the time being, and now the final thing is to integrate Jiangnan and Jiangbei to achieve the unification of the world, so that the soldiers from the southern expedition can withdraw. .

Yes, Your Majesty, the lower officials have drawn up a new administrative division plan for the Great Yu Kingdom, and will be ready to implement it next to realize the integration of the North and the South as soon as possible.

That's very good. Now that Guangzhou has been broken, the overall situation has been decided. The rest is to establish a government office and eliminate the remaining bandits. I will leave you a part of the army in the south to cooperate with your management. We must let the south recover as soon as possible.

When talking, Xiao Ming looked at the world map in front of him. He didn't feel much relieved after the civil war ended. Now the world's territory has basically been divided up by the great powers.

The rising Great Yu Kingdom will definitely not be able to escape Thucydides' trap in this wild era.

This means that a new rising power will inevitably challenge the existing power, and the existing power will inevitably respond to this threat, so that war will become inevitable.
