The end of the military era

Regarding the 20.00% stake in Pingluan Gold Mine, is Boss Yan satisfied?

If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again. "

When Yan Shaoqiu heard what Zhou Rui said, he nodded quickly and said, "Satisfied! Very satisfied!

Our Yan family actually took advantage of this kind of exchange.

Because they lent a large amount of silver coins to Yan Nanjiedu Mansion and Yan Bei Jiedu Mansion before, the Yan Family Bank is now short of at least hundreds of millions of silver coins. "

Zhou Rui said indifferently: "I already know about the situation of the Yan Family Bank.

Since Boss Yan agrees, it's settled like this, exchange 20.00% shares of Pingluan Gold Mine for Yan Family Bank. "

After talking about the Yan Family Bank, Zhou Rui said to Yan Shaoqiu: "I have always admired Boss Yan's talent.

This time I'm looking for you to come here, besides discussing the matter of the Yan Family Bank, I also hope that Boss Yan can stay with the Jiedu Mansion and help me with some government affairs.

I wonder if Boss Yan is willing? "

"Yes! Commander, I am willing!"

No fool would want to!

This is an opportunity to hug the thigh, of course Yan Shaoqiu will not miss it.

Hearing that Yan Shaoqiu was willing to stay in the Jiedu Mansion to work, Zhou Rui nodded slightly, "Old Yan, what do you think of the dispatch of troops from Shuodong Town to Yongwei Town?"

Yan Shaoqiu secretly said: Could this be the commander's inspection of me?

Yan Shaoqiu pondered for a moment and said: "Commander, it is obvious that Shuodong Town sent troops to Yongwei Town this time, and it was obvious that it had secretly reached some kind of agreement with the imperial court before.

And it is likely to be an agreement to carve up Jinggu Town, Zhongfang Town and Yongwei Town.

If it was just the imperial court sending troops, maybe Jinggu Town, Zhongfang Town and Yongwei Town could fight against each other, but if Shuodong Town also sent troops, then Jinggu Town, Zhongfang Town and Yongwei Town would basically have nothing to do. up.

Given the current situation of our Han and Tang Empires, towns with scattered military power like Jinggu Town, Zhongfang Town, and Yongwei Town will be annexed by other forces sooner or later. "

Zhou Rui asked again: "Old Yan, do you think our Zhou family should go all out and take down the last two feudal towns in the Southwest?"

Yan Shaoqiu had thought about this for a long time, so he immediately replied: "Marshal, after Yannan Town and Beibei Town are under the control of our Zhou family, the connection between Boting Town and Deyang Town and the five northwest towns is equal to being controlled by our Zhou family. cut off completely.

Without the assistance of the five northwest towns, it would be impossible for Boting Town and Deyang Town to resist our Zhou family's army.

However, based on my understanding of Boting Jiedu Envoy Ma Sheng and Deyang Jiedu Envoy Xia Shijie, maybe our Zhou family can take Boting Jiedu Mansion and Deyang Jiedu Mansion into their pockets without using force at all. "

In the Jiedu Mansion in Yishan City, the capital of Boting Town, Boting Jiedu envoy Ma Sheng asked Hu Wu in a cold voice: "Mr. Hu Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it!

But I, Ma Sheng, were not scared, and my hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Boting Town are not vegetarians. If your Zhou family has any tricks, I, Boting Town, will definitely follow them! "

Although Ma Sheng's tone was quite firm, there was unavoidably some meaning of being strong on the outside but doing nothing on the inside.

Hu Wu smiled slightly, "Marshal Ma, what kind of strength our Zhou family has, I don't think I need to repeat it here.

Even if Marshal Ma can really control hundreds of thousands of troops, if our Zhou family really wants to rule Boting Town, Marshal Ma will not be able to stop us.

What's more, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Boting Town, what Marshal Ma can really control are the 4 infantry divisions and 3 independent brigades belonging to the Boting Jiedu Mansion, which add up to only more than [-] troops.

And among the more than one hundred thousand people, when our Zhou family army enters Boting Town, many of them may choose to quit.

This point cannot be changed by Marshal Ma lifting the military authority of some officers. "

Boting Jiedu made Ma Sheng's mouth twitch, "Mr. Hu Wu, are you threatening me?"

Hu Wu shrugged and said, "Marshal Ma, I'm just stating a fact, not a threat.

I am here this time to represent the Zhou family. I hope Marshal Ma can see the situation clearly and avoid the two sides fighting each other.

As long as Marshal Ma is willing to give up the post of Bo Ting Jiedu to our Marshal, our Zhou family is willing to directly pay Marshal Ma a pension of 2 million silver coins! "

Ma Sheng couldn't help but be taken aback by Bo Ting Jiedu, "Retirement money?"

"It's a pension, a pension of 2 million silver coins, and it will guarantee the safety of the Ma family's private property.

To be honest, our Zhou family also offered a pension of 2 million silver coins to Marshal Xia of Deyang Town. This time, our Zhou family is bound to win Boting Town and Deyang Town. "

Ma Sheng, the governor of Boting, gritted his teeth and said, "What if the commander-in-chief doesn't want to ask for a pension?"

Hu Wu sighed and said: "Marshal Ma, it is often said that those who know the current affairs are heroes.

Feng Zhihuan, the former envoy of the Southern Jiedu and Wang Yongxing, the original envoy of the Northern Jiedu, probably wanted to get a pension very much, but unfortunately they had no chance. "

After Hu Wu left, Boting Jiedu envoy Ma Sheng called several of his confidantes over, and then told them what the Zhou family meant.

Ma Sheng's younger brother, Ma Xiang, the commander of the Second Infantry Division of the Boting Army, sighed and said: "Brother, the Zhou family is already a giant.

If we really want to start a fight, our Boting Jiedu Mansion has no chance of winning.

What's more, there are many coastal cities in our Boting Town, but the Zhou family has a southwest coastal defense fleet comparable to the navy of the orc nation. "

Ma Sheng's eldest son, Ma Ji'an, the commander of the [-]rd Infantry Division of the Boting Army, went on to say: "Father, in order for our Ma family to continue, it is better to surrender!

The private property owned by our Ma family now, together with the 2 million silver coins given by the Zhou family, can at least guarantee the prosperity of our Ma family for generations to come. "

Several other confidantes are also the children of the Ma family, and they all agree to surrender to the Zhou family. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

Boting Jiedu made Ma Sheng said with a melancholy face: "Since everyone thinks so, let's surrender!"

Not long after the Zhou family took control of Beinan Town and Beibei Town, Boting Jiedu Envoy Ma Sheng announced his resignation as Boting Jiedu Envoy. The 4 infantry divisions and 3 independent The brigade will be incorporated into the sequence of the Zhou family army.

Three days later, Deyang Jiedu Envoy Xia Shijie also announced his resignation as Deyang Jiedu Envoy. The 5 infantry divisions and 3 mixed brigades belonging to Deyang Jiedu Mansion will also be merged into the sequence of the Zhou family army.

Even the two Jiedu envoys surrendered to the Zhou family. The major families in Boting Town and Deyang Town knew that they had no other choice, so they sent people to contact the Zhou family one after another, expressing their willingness to submit to the Zhou family and handing over their family names. military power.

Chapter 2 and Ten

After the Zhou family annexed Beinan Town, Beibei Town, Boting Town and Deyang Town almost calmly, the most frightening thing was the other major powers of the Han and Tang Empire.

Those were four feudal towns, but the Zhou family seemed to have annexed them without any effort, which is really scary.

In the Governor’s Mansion of the Forbidden Army in Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhao Shicong, the commander of the Xiuyitai, said to Zhao Rongguang in a deep voice: "Father, the major families in Boting Town and Deyang Town have obediently handed over all the military power to you." the Zhou family.

In this way, the entire southwestern region has been completely owned by the Zhou family. "

Zhao Rongguang sighed and said, "It's really troublesome!

It seems that the Imperial Army has to send a few more infantry divisions to Henghui City. "

Henghui City is one of the four great cities in Tiansheng City, the capital, adjacent to Deyang Town, and is the gateway from Tiansheng City to Deyang Town.
