The Southern Army relied on its old qualifications and great independence, and did not take the central government very much in the past. However, the old fox Sean's parliament was checking and balanced. Now the parliament has been withdrawn and the only checks and balances have disappeared. It would be strange if the Southwest Army did not become big.

Yang Zheng analyzed this situation with Rachel back then, and I believe this smart woman would never be unclear.

Wigolan is a hub and an economic and military center. It is located in a relatively awkward position. It would be strange if it is not used to make a fuss if it is not used.

Yang Zheng rubbed his eyebrows.

The beauty with a noble family and a unique style appeared in my mind.

His "sister"!

When the three countries jointly conspired to get rid of him, it can be said that as he expected, he even vaguely put himself in this situation. Therefore, he knew that Wei Rongguo had always been hiding Rachel's side, and some of the situations after his death were also collected by the shadow troops. From Rachel's reaction, she could see that she was extremely angry and sad about her "death".

It can be seen from the growing size of the Demon God Army of Weirong Kingdom and the people's belief in the Demon God General.

The Demon God Army is now the only other army in Weirong that can compete with the Southwest Army. Rachel relies on this army to have the strength to challenge the Southwest Army.

"Rachel..." Yang Zheng said softly, put down his hand, and he made a decision.

...

In the rain, an iron-armored ship meandered on the Yelan River, the largest river vein in Wigolan.

On the deck, a black canopy was covered with only a pair of eyes left outside watching Wigolan in the wind and rain.

Compared with a few years ago, Vigolan at this time no longer had the desolate and bleak scene. Although the rain was very heavy during the flood season, a large amount of rain formed small rivers, which then gathered in large rivers, then rushed out, dividing them into several branches of large lakes poured into the lower ones.

Eight very large reservoirs have been built in the county, which have a larger flood discharge than before.

After urban planning, the people's houses have been surveyed and built in some places with higher terrain. The mass production of cement land has also made the building stronger. Although some houses will inevitably be damaged when the three-year flood season comes, compared with the previous Vigolan, which was full of water thieves and broken walls. This small loss can be ignored.

From time to time, ships crossed the river and saw armored ships, they all avoided them.

The armored ship goes to Jiaolan, where there is currently the largest port in Wigolan County. It is also an important base for import and export of iron and iron.

The iron-armored ships parked at the port attracted the attention of countless Jiaolan people.

There were bragging people whispering in the crowd: "Look, that's the fleet from Taoyuan. I heard that such ships are now spread throughout the mainland, and only those who are qualified to own such large steel ships are qualified to be called large caravans."

The people looked at the steel ships that were completely different from those wooden ships. They asked in surprise: "Why can steel float on the water? Why don't they rust?"

No one can answer this question, which is also a difficult problem that shipyards in various places are puzzled. Therefore, Taoyuan Iron Armored Ship is so famous and is also exclusively operated.

Among the crowd, a wealthy man who operated iron ore land saw this huge and sturdy iron armored ship and had secretly decided to buy one.

A group of people came down from the iron armored ship. These people were strong and upright. They were well-trained. The leather armor on their bodies and swords on their waists looked like they were not ordinary people. They were very military when walking.

Standing at the port to welcome the rich people from Jiao Lan brought this group of people into the city.

Get on the carriage without a carriage.

Marquis Haitula talked and laughed with Baitou Wenggis, the president of the Jiaolan Iron Society. This "villain" who resigned from his nest to the top was still able to control the Iron Society. It is enough to see that he is not the kind of person who has no brains, nor is he as brave as he looks.

Jiaolan's area doubled compared to a few years ago. There were jingling sounds from the blacksmith shops on both sides of the road, although it was still raining at this time, it could not hide the busy scene. Iron ore trading is a profitable industry, and no one is willing to stop work unless there is force majeure.

Baitou Ongis diligently introduced the scenes along the way to Marquis of Hetula.

The name of Taoyuan Trading Company has now been popular among all countries, especially since the iron armored ship was released, Taoyuan has been named "Ship King". Marquis Haitula is now a member of the Haoran Commercial Parliament. As Taoyuan's only spokesperson for the outside world, Marquis Haitula has been respected by the chaebols of various countries.

Baitou Wenggis naturally recognized his name.

When he heard that he was going to come to Wigolan to do a big business, he couldn't find a way to try to get on the iron-armored ship business and was immediately ecstatic.

The two are chatting

Crossing the street corner, a sudden burst of rapid and chaotic horse hooves came.

A cavalry came from across the street. They ran in the city without slowing down their horses. When they passed by...

When he saw their military uniforms, Gis cursed and asked the coachman to give in.

With a "Wake...", the cavalry stopped beside the Baitou Weng's carriage convoy. The leader of the cavalry officer held a long whip in his hand and did not dismount. His eyes were patrolling the Baitou Weng's carriage.

Gith squeezed out a smile: "It turns out it's Captain Rand. Why do you still have to patrol if it rains so heavily today? Thank you so much. Frank, please ask Captain Rand and his brothers to go to the morning dream tea house in the city to drink tea and reduce the cold."

Frank, dressed in a housekeeper, got out of the carriage, took out a pack of gold coins from his arms and handed them over.

Rand was not polite, his eyes fell on the escorts of the Hattola Marquis who were following the carriage, and his eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of cold light: "Who are these people? They are wearing helmets and swords, and they are not good people. I wonder if the entire Wigolan is under martial law now?"

Hattola stood up and bowed without waiting for Gis to speak: "This officer, I am Hattola, the big shopkeeper of Taoyuan Trading Company. I just arrived in Jiaolan today and I am discussing a business with President Gis."

"Taoyuan, Haitula..." Rand whispered: "It sounds familiar."

A sergeant leaned his ear and said a few words.

Rant's eyes showed a sudden look, and he looked at Hattola and said coldly: "It turned out to be the ship king, but he was a businessman. Why did his subordinates dress like this?"

Hatura was stunned and reacted and smiled, "I don't know that Vigolan has this rule."

Gith also smoothed out: "Captain Rand, Marquis of Hetula and his caravan have only arrived here today and don't know the situation in Vigolan."

"Now I understand, all the weapons are confiscated." Rand waved his hand and several knights jumped off the horse.

Marquis Hatura's face suddenly became gloomy and he looked at Gith with a bad look.

Gis was also sweating coldly. This big money owner just came today. Will he be offended by these things that have no eyesight?

He quickly jumped off his horse, stopped the cavalry and the guards of Taoyuan, and shouted: "Captain Lant, they are merchants, you don't need to do this."

Rand sneered: "Gis, you are just a chairman of the chamber of commerce. Are you qualified to point fingers here?"

Gis's face turned blue with anger and a gust rushed upwards.

"Give them!" Marquis Hatura suddenly shouted.

The Taoyuan guards all disarmed their weapons and threw them on the ground in front.

Rand laughed, letting his subordinates restrain their weapons and leave.

Gis looked at their departure backs and spat fiercely. He climbed into the carriage and looked at Hetula with apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. Marquis, I'm sorry for this happening."

Haitula asked without expression: "Who are they? My Taoyuan business is all over the mainland, and I have never encountered such a situation."

"They are not targeting you, they are targeting me," Gise swallowed: "These people are the auxiliary defense forces sent by Juma Province...they..."

Gise suddenly stopped and shook his head: "Forget it, don't mention this, Mr. Marquis, our business is important. I will definitely rebuild a group of the most exquisite swords to compensate you for the confiscated weapons. I have set up a banquet in the best restaurant in the city. Why not move there first."

...

After drinking, the Taoyuan caravan moved into a manor specially prepared by Gith.

The drunk Hetula sent two guards into the room, and the maids of the Gispah here let them block outside.

After the door closed, Hattola's drunkenness disappeared. He stood up from the bed and asked a guard to sit in with a respectful look.

"Mr. Primas..."

The guard took off his rainproof cloak and was disguised as Yang Zheng.

Haitula poured him a cup of tea, Yang Zheng waved his hand to signal him to sit down, Haitula asked in a low voice: "Sir, why did you hint us just now and let us hand over the weapons? I see that Gis is willing to stand up for us, so why should he be humiliated by those soldiers?"

"There is a hidden story here. We are here to do business, not to be brave and fierce." Yang Zheng's eyes still showed traces of thought when he spoke.

After a while, he said, "Hetura, help me get a set of civilian clothes. Here you will be the one you are the one who will be the one you are the one who will be the one you are the one you are best at here."

"Sir, are you leaving?"
