When the earl looked at the person in front of him, he was already filled with hatred. If possible, he would really want to kill the person in front of him with one knife. The earl waved his hand and let these people go out. It took him a while
They didn't want to see this guy anymore, and the other servants didn't say anything. They all thought it was the reason for the earl's discomfort. It's no wonder. Every time someone comes from the capital, the earl doesn't feel very comfortable.
, because the people in the capital will basically not make it easy for the earl. Those people will make trouble for the earl as long as they have some troubles. There is no way. Although on the surface, the earl's palace has no connection with the duke's palace in the capital,
But no matter how you say it, you all come from the same father, and the Earl's Mansion can have the current capabilities, which are inseparable from the capital. If the people in the capital don't take care of this, the Earl in front of you will be the one who suffers.
You are an adult, so even if you get beaten, it will be nothing. This is what everyone is guessing. In their opinion, it is the matter in front of them. It is estimated that there can be no other things besides the matter in front of them.
Only the earl and the second steward understand what is going on. Because of the reason for handling this matter, the earl has long had no contact with the Duke's Palace in the capital. This superficial relationship is actually a real relationship.
The people over there have not been in contact with this place for at least several decades. Many people may have forgotten what happened here. When the Earl thinks about what happened back then, he really regrets it to death. If he had been there at that time,
If I had not contacted this organization, I would not have become what I am now. Although I am living a good life now, how can I be a real earl? I am just living like a servant.
, the bastard in front of me can do whatever he wants to him. He really has no freedom at all. If he can make a choice again, it would be better for him to contact the Duke's Palace in the capital, at least because
Those people over there, the people in this organization will not be too harsh on themselves, and they are definitely much better than the current situation. But there is no room for regrets. We have not contacted each other for decades, and now the Duke
I guess I don’t even know where the government is. For this reason, I can only keep interacting with these people. There is no other way to get help. In this situation, I can only follow these people.
The road has become dark. This is the last thing I want to do, but I don't have any other abilities, and those big shots won't pay attention to me. If I only have some other abilities,
It is also possible to accomplish this thing. What they did this time is very big. Although I don’t know some of the main things, some general contents are still fine. If I can meet with a senior executive of Cao’s Trading Company
That's good. If I sell this news to them, everything will be easier. That shitty second manager has bullied me for so many years. Now he should know what he is like bullying you for a while.
As a result, there is also that woman, who he said is his wife, but he has never touched anything. It is very frustrating to talk about such things, but this is the fact. After solving the second manager's problem, everything
It's all true.
If Li Cong knew what this guy was thinking, he would probably run in and talk to this guy at this time. Both of them have their own needs. What the Earl needs is a powerful person.
allies, and what Li Cong needs is information from this mysterious organization. If the earl can trade with him, the current crisis of the Cao Family Trading Company can be said to be solved, and the two-sided advance can be said to be going on normally.
Li Cong's side has just made some progress, but Li Yi's side is not so lucky. It can be said that three thousand societies have not found out why. It took Li Yi a month.
I took the time to investigate this matter, and the last news I got was that these people wanted to make money from this thing, and as for some other purposes, they basically had no purpose. Such things made the investigation of Cao's Trading Company have to stop.
After coming down, and there is no news about the base in the Warcraft Mountains, the investigation in the Southern Empire has stopped. However, Li Li trusts the people on his side very much, and there should be no news out.
Yes, so I discussed it with the ninth-level warrior that Li Cong was looking for. They ambush a lot of masters at that gathering point. As long as the people above get through, they will catch those people.
, Of course, if the person who came last time was the de jure Earl, Li Cong would have taken action directly here, but before taking action, Li Cong would have definitely figured out something. Just like now, the local Cao Family Trading Firm
The intelligence department of the Cao Family Commercial Bank got a fatal piece of news. It seems that none of the sons of Count Juris are here. They all seemed to have been sent to study somewhere. In the end, the intelligence department of the Cao Family Trading Company paid hundreds of thousands of silver.
Only after paying the price did he find out that they had all gone to Xuanyun Sect. Such a thing did not surprise Li Cong. It seems that this matter is really related to the people of Xuanyun Sect. What are these people doing?
? Or this thing was done by people from the Xuanyun Sect. Although the Xuanyun Sect could feel the threat from the Cao Family Trading Company, Emperor Xuan was not a fool. How could he do such a thing, even if it was before?
The anti-Cao alliance formed after the incident was also hidden in the back, and there was absolutely no intention to come to the front desk. It was such a thing that made Li Cong feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where exactly it was.
Anyway, the whole thing is a bit unreasonable. It seems that everything still needs to be settled slowly. Li Cong saw that the earl was angry for a while but did not do anything. However, the second manager could not do anything.
He also started to scold other people loudly in the mansion because of things that violated the norm. Many people from the earl were scolded by this guy. You must know that these people are basically direct descendants of the earl's mansion. And that guy
The second steward is someone brought by the Madam. Although this kind of thing does not change any specific things, it can make the earl hate this guy even more, and make the people below think that the earl is a henpecked person. In this way
The earl is very anxious about the matter. If he really wants to take revenge on this guy in the future, it will definitely be no problem. By then, this guy's life will definitely not be very good. It is for this reason that the earl has recently
They all have the same dark face. It’s just that they don’t like anyone.
The war between the Western Empire and the Cao Family Trading Company has also undergone some changes in the past month. Tuoba Yuanye has begun to carry out more urgent defense plans on the front line, and is worried that the Southern Empire's army may have problems by then, so
This guy got all the troops from the Southern Empire out. At this time, the Cao Family Trading Company's own troops had almost arrived. These hundreds of divisions of troops could definitely withstand hundreds of millions of troops from the Western Empire.
Yes. We are afraid of huge casualties if we attack you. But if you attack us, this matter will not be that easy. In the end, you may all have a bad life.
Although the prince of the empire said well, he said that he would drive out the Cao Family Trading Company's army from the territory of the Western Empire in one fell swoop and bring decades of peace to the borders of the Western Empire, no matter what it was.
When people mention the Western Empire, they all say that it is not an easy place to get. People from all over the Western Empire have begun to praise Prince Ding. The Emperor of the Western Empire also gave this old guy the title of Prince Protector.
, you must know that such titles rarely exist in the history of the Western Empire. Such titles can be said to have reached the status second only to the emperor. If it continues to rise, there will be problems in the head of Prince Ding.
, it is for this reason that Prince Ding hurriedly led the troops of the Western Empire to the front line. If he continued to wander around the capital, his final result would definitely not be very good. As long as he is
If his reputation is much better than that of the emperor, then this is basically the end for him. No one will say anything to him at all. Each of these people will adapt to the situation. Don't look at those people now.
I wish I could kneel down and praise myself, but when my boat fails, those people will immediately go to the opposite side of me, that is, those people who usually tell me that I have good relationships and family friends, these people...
At that time, you will be the most powerful person against you. You have already seen all this very clearly. In the past, you did not see this clearly because you were not in that high position, but now you are here.
In this position, some things can be seen more clearly, and he also understands that some of these things are far from simple. The emperor of the Western Empire gave him such a title, which seems to be giving him honor.
But another sentence is that if you go this time, you can only win, and you must not fail. If you fail, you, the prince who protects the country, will not be able to come back. If you fail, you will kill yourself. The empire has given
You have so many benefits, but in the end the empire was defeated and you were still alive. This matter would not be easy to say. No one is stupid, so when Prince Ding led the army out of the capital, he was still very happy just now.
This guy has already frowned. Of course he knows how uncomfortable the current changes are. They all know how terrifying the Cao family's attack is. The battle in the capital a few years ago was still the same.
It is very clear that now that the people of the Cao Family Trading Company are on the defensive, they are about to attack, and the casualties will definitely be greater. Although there are hundreds of millions of troops on the front line, it is still a huge unknown whether they can do it.
Perhaps knowing that Prince Ding had come to the front line, the airships of the Cao Family Trading Company were not idle. They directly sent out hundreds of airships and began bombing along the route of Prince Ding of the Western Empire. There were also some
A lot of people came down from the airship and planted some uncomfortable mines on the road. These things are also very good. As long as the Prince of Ding dares to go up and try it, this thing will not care whether you are the Prince of Ding or not.
An ordinary soldier will give you the fairest treatment. These people probably don't know much about such things. In their opinion, such things should be given to those high-ranking officials.
The speed made Prince Ding very depressed. It used to take ten days to reach the place. Now it has taken fifteen days and he is not even halfway there. Although His Majesty the Emperor often comes here to ask him to
Pay attention to safety and so on, but now everyone can see that the words of His Majesty the Emperor are already very stern, and what he said is different from what he said before. In the past, he just gave in.
The prince and others are paying attention to safety, but the most they talk about now is the situation on the front line, and then they scold the marshals on the front line vigorously, saying that these people are useless, it seems that the prince is the one who is engaged.
It is the most useful. Many times I have said that as long as the betrothed prince arrives, the Cao Family Trading Company’s army will definitely not be enough to watch. If you say this less, it is an honor, but if you say it more, this will not be enough.
It's not an honor anymore. If it does, it will become a reminder. Prince Ding understands this very well. Of course he knows that he needs to speed up, but no matter where he is, no matter what route he takes.
The airships from the Cao family business will all land on my head. These bombs will be dropped by the hundreds. They won’t care if you belong to the prince or not. They will kill you directly. It’s better to be honest about such things.
It's better, otherwise he might lose his life before he reaches the front line. If the people from the Cao Family Trading Company send out ground troops, Prince Ding will naturally not be afraid of them, but this airship really has no
There is no way. Although there are many magicians around him, the attacks of magicians can't reach those damn airships. These people also know that there are magicians around Prince Ding, and they won't use themselves.
I want to try this with my own life. Since you are going to start a war, we naturally have to honestly maintain some of our advantages in the sky. If not, there is something wrong with our brains, that is, because of this situation in front of us.
The problem is, when these people saw the Cao Family Trading Company's airship, they just stopped caring about other things. Brother Zhao just needed a place to rest. Although the officers have said it many times, there are tens of millions of troops in their team.
, stretching for thousands of miles, mere airships can't do anything to them, but as long as they appear, such fear will still spread everywhere, causing them to run away one by one, or they don't know themselves, and they don't know where they are coming from.
The news that came from somewhere is also very good. It just said that if you run hard, the chance of being injured by the bomb on the airship is much less. But if you don't run, this
The odds are really fun.
Tuoba Yuanye is not a fool. He will not miss such a good opportunity. In the past, this guy was the marshal of the Western Empire. He is very familiar with some of the marching routes and habits of the Western Empire.
, these airships are just waiting at these important roads. As long as someone from the Western Empire appears, they can just go there and drop bombs. It doesn't matter if they lose their bombs. They can immediately go to the nearest deserted place.
For supply, the large airships of the Cao Family Trading Company are waiting there. Thousands of tons of ammunition have been vigorously replenished for these small airships. Moreover, according to the things learned in the military academy, you still have to watch when you blow people up.
Yes, a cavalry is definitely different from an infantry. A general is much more important than a group of soldiers. For this reason, the soldiers of the Cao Family Trading Company actually started to choose their prey. If the following
Without a general or something like that, no one in a group of infantry would be willing to throw bombs. It is simply too wasteful. Even if one drops a bomb and kills a dozen people, what will happen? It will not have any impact on the entire battle situation.
Yes, these people can still be recruited. The most indispensable thing on this planet is probably human beings. It is very easy to get more soldiers, but it is probably not that easy for officers.
, especially some low-level officers in the army. They are even more valuable assets in the army. Many snipers specialize in dealing with such officers in the air, but because the crossbow arrows will always be hit when they are shot down.
The sound of opening the air, and some of the officers are not incompetent guys. They know what this sound represents, so they can easily avoid it. For this reason, each of them is now
Instead of wearing officers' clothes, these people have already put on soldiers' clothes and blended into the infantry team. Although this will reduce the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army a lot, they can't care about that much, right?
?What you have to do now is to protect your own head. As for other things, don’t worry about it so much. Many officers have said in a high-sounding way that they are the most valuable asset of the entire empire. An ordinary soldier is nothing.
Yes, you put on my clothes and ride a tall horse. It feels good like that. At the beginning, many soldiers didn't understand what was going on. There were still some who were strong enough to do such a thing, but later on
They have also discovered such a thing. Anyone who did that that day lost his head in the end. There is no way to explain it. It can only be said that the brains of ordinary soldiers are not as good as these.
The brains of officers are not comparable to those of ordinary people. However, the soldiers of the Western Empire also despise their officers. In an army, officers must be admired by the soldiers.
It's okay to regard him as his idol, but now he has become a person who is despised. Such a situation does not happen very often. The officers also know that such a situation will happen, but they have no choice but to do it.
Using your own head in exchange for this morale? You don't have such a good heart. Saving your head is the most important thing. As for morale? Get out of here, I'm so empty-handed.
Before the war officially started, many soldiers of the Western Empire thought that their war would not be successful this time, because they would see the problem with their own eyes. First of all, they were already halfway through the journey.
It has been many months, but I have not walked one-tenth of the distance. It was originally said that it would take half a year to seven months to reach the front line. If we go according to the current time, it is estimated that it will take at least two years.
Yes, although the people in the Cao Family Trading Company no longer attack very much, they will pay more attention to this defensive issue. This may be a more fatal thing. It is because of this reason that these people
You will be even more depressed when doing things. Aren't they the ones who strengthen the defense? It's better to let those people attack quickly. Anyway, the situation on the front line is already a mess, and there is no way it will become more chaotic.
I'm doing well now. If I leave, I still don't know if I can reach the place. Even if I get there, I don't know how the defense line has been reinforced. If I don't leave, stay here.
Those damn airships come over every day, and they may not necessarily blow up if they drop them, but there will definitely be pressure on my heart. If a bomb is dropped from such a high place, it looks like it from my place.
They were far away from themselves, but they didn’t know why the bomb landed on top of their heads. In the end, they didn’t even see how they died. It was this situation that made them uncomfortable.
At the end, there were actually deserters. Damn it, we haven’t walked even one-tenth of the way. Why would there be deserters? If we continue to escape at this speed, I’m probably afraid that we’ll reach the front line by the time we reach the front line.
Not even half of the people would be left. Prince Ding was really anxious. In the end, he had no choice but to order the army to march day and night. At night, due to poor visibility, the Cao family trading house was bombed.
Basically, they won’t start at night, they will all be done during the day. If you can walk during the day, just walk. If you can’t walk, just find a place to hide. Anyway, you will be very sleepy during the day, really.
If you want to leave, you don’t know how many people will fall behind in the end. Prince Ding also put his own troops at the end. His people used big swords to drive away those lagging soldiers. If these people were
If you see it, it will be as light as a beating. If this is really serious, I don’t know what it will be like. This kind of thing has happened often. If you dare to resist, haha, this matter is serious.
It will be even more excessive. These people may kill you directly. Although Prince Ding also knows that his soldiers may do things a little too much, but in the current situation, if there is no severe punishment,
These people really think that their prince is a temperless guy. Such a thing cannot happen. He must definitely give these people a little bit of strength. After taking these measures, let alone, if it happens
There are a lot less problems than before, and the march speed is also a lot faster. There is nothing we can do about the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. They also carried out several bombings this night, but the effect was not very good.
Yes, the only thing we can do is strengthen the mines, which cannot be avoided.
The casualties caused by landmines to the soldiers are not very big. Mainly because the soldiers of the Cao Family Trading Company are not very familiar with this thing, and even the prediction of the route is not very accurate. As a result, many of them are already
I got it in the wrong place, but one problem is that the fear it brought to these soldiers was very great. It is said that there were about 30 people in one establishment of the Western Imperial Army who were all sent into the sky by a landmine.
, since then, basically no soldiers are willing to go to the front, and most of them use some animals to go to the front. Although this reduces the casualties of the soldiers, the losses to these animals are also very heavy.
. In the end, all these animals were killed. These animals died one by one, and all the things on them were carried by the soldiers, which made the march even slower. In fact, not only
The military suffered due to this incident. Even some surrounding cities would also have problems. Since these soldiers did not need to walk during the day, they would naturally go in and have fun when they arrived in a city. These people felt that they
I can't live much longer, so I will inevitably be bolder when I go in to play. What's wrong with not having money? I'm going to the front line to make a peaceful life for you people. The military discipline of the Western Empire
It was not very good in the past, and it is even less good this time. Many such things have already happened in some surrounding cities. Later, as soon as these armies arrived, the city lord immediately
After ordering the city gate to be closed, even if a general or something came to call for it, it would not be opened. Even some local garrisons had to resist. This caused a certain division in the army within the Western Empire. These were going to
The troops on the front line feel even more uncomfortable. Damn it, I'm going to lose my life one by one. Why don't you people even let us in through the city gate? If that's the case, we won't go in.
That's it, just let the people from the Cao Family Trading Company occupy you. Prince Ding also expressed dissatisfaction with the ideas of these city lords, but he had no choice. Although he was a prince, these people didn't have much relationship with him.
It doesn't matter. It's okay for your prince to go into the city to take a rest, but these soldiers under your command don't have to go in. If they are allowed to go in, some bad things will happen in our entire city. These
We don't know much about the soldiers' ability to fight, but their ability to loot land is still good. Besides, you won't care about some public security incidents. If these soldiers are really caught, the most you can do in your army is to fight.
Just one meal is enough. Neither the people nor the money we lost will be able to return to the way they were before. Among them, the concubine of a city lord's son was given to something by these soldiers. In the end, the city lord's
The son led someone to hang up the soldiers, which almost caused a conflict. In the end, Prince Ding personally wrote a handwritten letter to the city lord, and the matter was finally suppressed, but what happened next
There is almost no one in the city who can open the city gate. Even if Prince Ding comes over, they will not open it. This is simply a fatal matter. We will open it after you leave.
There are more than hundreds of counties and cities along the way. Originally, Prince Ding wanted to go there to see them all, saying that he wanted to inspect the defenses, but the real thing was to go in and let these officials pay their respects to him.
I didn't expect that such a thing would happen to these damned people. This really made Prince Ding want to kill all the troublemaking soldiers, but he knew that if he killed them at this time, this one under him would have been killed.
There was not much military morale but nothing left. The only thing Prince Ding was thinking about at this time was to get to the front line as soon as possible, and then get back the people of the Cao Family Trading Company and the land as soon as possible.
If I knew it would be such a situation, I wouldn't have come out. This would be a good thing. The whole place is laughing at me. Just look at my white hair. Basically, I have lost money. Many people have lost money.
Things were something I had never thought of before. It was precisely for this reason that Prince Ding felt that it would not be that simple for him to go this time. Several staff officers had also made calculations. If he went on like this, it was estimated that
It will be impossible for the local government to restore its combat effectiveness within two months, and even if it recovers, it will only be at most one-third of what it was in its heyday. Such combat effectiveness will not be possible if it is to suppress an uprising of the common people.
That's a problem. After all, they are still hungry wolves, but when dealing with those wolves from the Cao Family Trading Company who are full and may turn into tigers, these people are a bit unsatisfactory. Their weapons
Not as good as others, the combat effectiveness is also not as good as others, the situation on the battlefield is not good, no matter what, there is no good place. Prince Tai has not smiled for several days anyway, and Takuba Yuanye is very happy. Before
This guy was still very depressed for a few days. He walked all night and carried out several air raids with his airship, but it had no effect and wasted some bombs. I didn't expect that there would be so many bombs during the day break.
The good thing is that if the relationship between these armies and the common people is as bad as possible, then they probably won't need to do anything. They may destroy their combat effectiveness on the road. How do the common people treat the army?
We are still very clear about this. After all, we were from the Western Empire in the past, and we still know a lot about these things. However, Tuoba Yuanye still asked his people to quickly trim the fortifications. His own strategy was
In this way, when the troops of the Western Empire come, you can just let them attack with all their strength. As long as you withstand their attack, you can create an illusion for them, that is, make them feel that they cannot defeat you, so that they
There is no other way, so you have to continue the stalemate with yourself. At that time, it is your time to counterattack. As long as you can let them retreat when you attack, you can occupy at least more than ten rows in the Western Empire.
Save it. At that time, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the reinforcements from the rear came. It was much better than when we cooperated with the Southern Empire. Of course, everything was based on when we wanted to win, and we had to let that damn person
The anti-Cao alliance must not make trouble, otherwise the final result will definitely not be very good. Each of these people is very powerful, so you can't underestimate them. It's better to be honest.
If the war continues like this, the final result is foreseeable, but at this time, new changes occurred on the battlefield. At this time, the people of the Northern Empire actually agreed to allow the troops of the Eastern Empire to use the Northern Empire to enter the West.
The empire was conducting military exchanges. Although the people from the Cao Family Trading Company immediately negotiated with the people from the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire, telling them that no matter what the reason was, they would have to pay a price for intervening in this. The people from the Northern Empire also
It's okay, and a lot of restrictions have been put in place. Even if people from the Eastern Empire can pass, the number will not be very large. However, there are no people from the Tori So family trading company in the Eastern Empire. I just listen to what you say.
That's it, but don't worry about what I do. The Cao Family Trading Company immediately increased the economic sanctions on the Eastern Empire and announced a 100% price increase strategy for the Eastern Empire. For a while, the people of the Eastern Empire began to panic.
The price increase of other things is nothing, and it doesn't have much to do with them. But if the price of things like food increases, it will be a serious matter. Will they stop eating or drinking? The problem that the people are most concerned about is
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are already in trouble. How can they not worry about these two things? There is also the problem of transportation. If the people from Cao's Trading Company didn't build that kind of transportation network, they wouldn't be able to do much about it.
I'm afraid of this problem, but the problem is that the people from Cao's Trading Company produced this thing. Not only did they produce it, they also let this thing enter the lives of many people. These people are already used to it. Those escort agencies in the past
Things like that have long been gone. When the Cao Family Trading Company announced a price increase, many people scolded them vigorously. Some said that the Cao Family Trading Company was profiteers, and others said that the imperial court of the Eastern Empire did not consider the people.
They said everything, but the Eastern Empire did not take back this order. Naturally, the Cao Family Trading Company will not take it back. They will continue to do it, but everyone has already received Li Cong's order, luxury goods and so on.
Prices will continue to increase, but these things that concern the common people can be restored in a month. It would not be good if other business groups from the Eastern Empire take advantage of the situation. I just put a certain amount of pressure on them.
As for those luxury goods, Li Cong is not too worried. Anyway, for the rich, what they want is enjoyment. Whether you give them a price of 10,000 or a price of 20,000, they all want it.
They continue to live their lives, and they will continue to use those things. Such things are very normal for them. None of these people think there is anything wrong with spending tens of thousands more taels of silver.
, for them, the matter in front of them is a very normal thing, and there will be no problems. That's why Li Cong went to earn this money, just like the price of some alcoholic drinks, which turned out to be four hundred thousand yuan.
Bottles, I didn’t expect that after the price increase of 800,000, the purchase volume would be a lot more. These people are businessmen, and what they think is that if they don’t buy a batch now and save it, the Cao Family Trading Company will definitely increase the price even more in the future.
It's amazing, but at that time, the losses were even greater. Buying it at this time, whether you drink it yourself or give it to others, is a very cost-effective thing.
Although they saw a large amount of money being taken away by people from the Cao Family Trading Company, the Eastern Empire still didn't take any action. They didn't even find anyone to explain, but only they knew whether they were bleeding.
This matter, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company will not care about you anyway. Since you are going to go against us, you must expect this matter, otherwise you people are just a bunch of fools.
Okay, we won’t say much about this kind of thing. Anyway, we’ll just have to see who won in the end. Who knows clearly in his heart? Such a huge price paid for tens of millions of dollars from the Eastern Empire.
I really don’t know why the people of the Eastern Empire want reinforcements, just to show that they are the largest country? Isn’t this too much? But since you don’t care, we don’t need to be so troublesome. Look.
Just see how we deal with you in the future. (To be continued...)
