The end of the military era

This time, the imperial army took less than half a month to capture all 12 other cities, including Yanshun City, the capital of Pushan Town.

Of course, the reason why the imperial army was able to capture all the 12 cities of Pushan Town in such a short period of time should be attributed to the Xiuyitai.

It is precisely because Xiuyitai used money to buy a large number of generals of the Pushan Army that the Pushan Army from all over the country turned against each other.

Originally, under the connection of Shuodong Town, the six Northeast Towns had secretly formed a military alliance against the court, but unfortunately the court moved too fast, and the Pushan Army was too disappointing.

Before the other five feudal towns among the six towns in the Northeast could react, the entire Pushan town had already fallen into the hands of the imperial court.

In Shuodong Jiedu Mansion in Puqiao City, the capital of Shuodong Town, Xue Daoquan, Shuodong Jiedu envoy, asked his eldest son Xue Tingwu: "Tingwu, do you think our Shuodong Army still needs to send troops?"

Xue Tingwu said with a wry smile: "Father, now that Pushan Town has completely fallen into the hands of the imperial court, sending troops at this time may not make much sense.

Moreover, the imperial court has almost completely incorporated the Pushan Army this time, and its strength is no longer comparable. I suggest that it is better to wait and see first.

What's more, the barbarian empire has been frequently moving around the border recently. Even if our Shuodong army wants to send troops, we can't gather too many troops. "

Shuodong Jiedu envoy Xue Daoquan sighed and said: "Letting the imperial court occupy Pushan Town is not good news for all the Jiedu envoys of the Han and Tang Empires."

Zhou Rui found Hu Yi after the imperial army captured Pushan Town.

"You ghosts are going to strengthen your power in the court. After Pushan Town returned to the court, the power of the court has soared. Some newspapers even called for an end to the current separatist regime in the town."

Hu nodded, "Don't worry, Commander, our ghosts" have already strengthened the manpower of the court, and some people have even entered the court. "

"How many troops does the imperial court have now?"

"It's about 60 or more, and Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the forbidden army, will carry out a new round of reorganization of the imperial army and recruit some new soldiers."

"Do you know how to organize it?"

"The Pushan Army will all be organized into the imperial imperial army. According to the plan of Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the imperial army, the imperial imperial army will have 30 infantry divisions under its jurisdiction, and each infantry division will have an establishment of about 3 people."

"The 90 imperial imperial guards are not too small. Pushan Town is not a wealthy town. Can the imperial court support so many troops?

I'm just wondering, where did the commander-in-chief of the forbidden army get so much military expenses? "

"Marshal, our ghost has been investigating, but we haven't found any clues yet."

"Have you found the 10 Lion Clan members, 9 Tiger Clan members and 8 Wolf Clan members from the Nine Stars Hotel?"

"No, we have conducted three large-scale searches of the Nine Stars Hotel these days, but we still haven't found those orcs, nor have we found any secret rooms in the Nine Stars Hotel."

Chapter 188 Kangyang Town

Hearing that the orcs who were suspected of being killers had not yet been found, Zhou Rui frowned, "What about other places in Ganyang City? Did you find anything?"

Hu Yi shook his head and said: "We have also considered that those orcs have already left the Nine Stars Hotel through the secret passage, but so far, we have not found any traces of those orcs in other places in Ganyang City."

"So, those orcs may still be hiding in the Nine Stars Hotel."

"Master, this possibility is the greatest.

However, considering the Golden Lion Empire behind the Nine Stars Hotel, we, Guiying, have no way to interrogate the staff of the hotel. "

Even though the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet defeated the Golden Lion Empire's navy three times in a row, it is impossible for Zhou Rui not to be afraid of the world's most powerful country.

If the Golden Lion Empire was really pissed off and attacked the Zhou family at all costs, even if the Zhou family could hold it back in the end, it would definitely be a result of mutual losses.

At that time, there were absolutely no fewer people who wanted to hurt the Zhou family.

Therefore, Zhou Rui had to be more cautious when dealing with some matters related to the Golden Lion Empire.

As far as Zhou Rui knew, the boss behind the Nine Star Hotel had a lot of power in the Golden Lion Empire, which also made "Ghost Shadow" a little timid about this matter.

Zhou Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Since it's not clear, let's keep it in the dark. The chief manager named Hulk must be clear about the matter of the Nine Star Hotel."

"Yes, Commander, I understand what to do."

"Do it cleanly, and don't let the Golden Lion Empire catch anything.

Now that our arrangement in Kangyang Town has been completed, at this juncture, we will try our best to avoid extraneous complications from happening. "

Kangyang Town is one of the six northwest towns of the Han and Tang Dynasties, adjacent to Zhenwei Town, and the only town with a coastline among the six northwest towns.

Originally, Kangyang Town was also one of the most powerful feudal towns among the feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires. The military and political power of the entire Kangyang Town was controlled by the Kangyang Jiedu Mansion.

However, after the death of the previous Kangyang Jiedushi, his two sons fought for the position of Kangyang Jiedushi, and a fraternal war broke out.

Moreover, the war lasted for several years, and the two brothers both served as Kangyang Jiedu envoys. This also made the courts of the Han and Tang Empires not know who should be canonized as the real Kangyang Jiedu envoys, so that Kangyang Township There were two Kangyang Jiedu envoys in the territory.

When Zhou Rui was reborn, the civil war in Kangyang Town had already broken out, and the battle between the two brothers for the position of Kangyang Jiedushi has not ended until now.

However, after several years of internal friction in Kangyang Town, all aspects have been severely damaged, especially in order to expand more troops, the two brothers have increased a lot of exorbitant taxes in their respective control areas, making the people in Kangyang Town miserable. Word.

At present, the other four feudal towns among the six southwest towns, Boting Town, Yannan Town, Beibei Town, and Deyang Town, have long been secretly united in order to deal with the threat of the Zhou family.

If the Zhou family took action against any of the above-mentioned towns, the other three towns would probably not sit idly by, so Zhou Rui had no intention of continuing to expand the territory among the six towns in the southwest for the time being, but he focused on Kangyang Town.

In a high-end hotel in Anrui City, the capital of Kangyang Town, Wei Jichang, the commander of the Sixth Division of the Kangyang Army, looked at the thick stack of gold tickets on the table, with a tangled expression on his face.

At this time, a middle-aged man sitting opposite Wei Jichang smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, here are exactly 200 gold tickets with a face value of 1000 gold coins from Zhou's Bank.

As long as Mr. Wei is willing to cooperate with our Zhou family, our Zhou family will give Mr. Wei another 200 Zhou's bank gold notes with a face value of 1000 gold coins. I wonder what Mr. Wei wants? "

Wei Jichang said hesitantly: "But the second son is so kind to me, I"

Before Wei Jichang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Feng, the commander of the third division of the Kangyang Army next to him, "Brother Jichang, the people in Kangyang Town have been tossed about by the eldest son and the second son.

Now that the Zhou family is willing to take control of Kangyang Town, it can be regarded as a way for the people of Kangyang Town to survive. Don't be obsessed with it anymore. "

Wei Jichang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Feng, I also know that if the eldest and second sons continue to fight like this, our Kangyang town will become poorer and poorer.

But the Second Young Master has been kind to us all these years. "

Li Feng snorted coldly, "In the past few years, my two sons, two younger brothers, three nephews, and four nephews all died on the battlefield. No matter how great the kindness is, I don't owe the second son.

Brother Jichang, just tell me, do you accept these golden tickets or not? "

Wei Jichang reached out and picked up the stack of gold tickets on the table, "This is the end, for the more than 2000 million people in Kangyang Town, I can only feel sorry for the second son."

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Wei Jichang and Li Feng couldn't help smiling and said, "Mr. Wei made a wise choice. Our Zhou family welcomes Mr. Wei to join."

After the middle-aged man left, Wei Jichang asked Li Feng: "Have all the teachers of our divisions already received the golden tickets from the Zhou family?"

Li Feng said: "I guess I should accept them all. Anyway, you are the third one recommended by me. Zhang Daoyuan from the Fifth Division and Wang Ren from the Seventh Division were also introduced to Mr. Xu by me."

Wei Jichang sighed and said: "It seems that the Second Young Master's situation is over. With so many golden tickets coming, few people will not be tempted."
