After occupying Shannan County, the Xia family quickly took control of Zhili County. Zhili County was the most developed county in the country. Originally, the Xia family thought they could make a lot of money here, but they found that the entire capital was already empty.
There was no government treasury that could be swallowed up. The Xia family's army had to take over a number of royal workshops as compensation.
General Xia Yuhui was extremely angry at the failure of this search for property. He denounced Cheng Yuhuan as a national thief in the newspaper, saying that he not only kidnapped the prince but also stole the treasury, and asked him to send the prince back to the capital and return the household treasures and royal treasures.
The Cheng family did not dare to take the blame for this, so Cheng Yuhuan immediately issued a statement in the newspaper, claiming that he had not touched those assets. However, many wealthy households in the capital subsequently issued statements in the newspapers, stating that it was indeed the Cheng family's army that looted the property.
Their property was stolen, and many people even produced a large amount of evidence.
Cheng Yuhuan then stated in the newspaper that all the assets were not taken away by him, but were obtained by Fang Xiaoyu, who subsequently captured the capital. Fang Xiaoyu, who was snickering on the side, immediately issued a statement, claiming that Cheng Yuhuan was completely framed and that he had no knowledge of these assets.
He asked Cheng Yuhuan to stop making excuses and return the people's property as soon as possible.
Fang Xiaoyu made such a statement. With a large number of witnesses and physical evidence pointing to Cheng Yuhuan, people will naturally believe Fang Xiaoyu's words more. What's more, now that the Cheng family is searching for people's wealth and money in their own control area, who will believe that they are innocent.
Cheng Yuhuan was mute and couldn't explain the pain of eating Coptis chinensis. No matter how he explained, no one believed him. Later, the debate in the newspapers gradually escalated into a war of words. At first, there were two camps supporting the Cheng family and those supporting the Xia family. But as time went by,
More and more evidence points to the whereabouts of the treasure, and most newspapers begin to point the finger at the Cheng family. Except for a few newspapers run by the Cheng family, almost all newspapers begin to curse Cheng Yuhuan.
When many people from the Cheng family disappeared mysteriously, no one found this huge amount of wealth in the Cheng family. Many people began to say that Cheng Yuhuan had buried all the treasures before the defeat for future use, and Zi Wu Xu had
The 'Cheng Family Treasure' has also become the target of many explorers in the future.
This scolding war in newspapers lasted for several months, and Fang Xiaoyu was happy to instruct his writers to attack Cheng Yuhuan, pouring dirty water on the Cheng family, and completely ruining Cheng Yuhuan's reputation in the country.
The gunmen hired by the Cheng family also wanted to defend the Cheng family, but now that all the evidence pointed to the Cheng family, their defense seemed feeble. Cheng Yuhuan was so angry about this that he almost died, and cursed Fang Xiaoyu for being shameless every day.
While the scolding war in the newspapers was going on, Xia Yuhui's army did not stop, and Huzhou County was soon controlled by the Xia family's army. In order to digest the existing territory, the Xia family did not attack further, and all parties
The forces began to enter a period of self-cultivation, and all parties began to recharge their batteries and strengthen their respective control over the rule.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that when they fully control the territory, the domestic war will really begin. At that time, the first to be attacked will be the two weakest forces in the country, the Wang family and the Xiahou family.
Wang Xuan naturally knew the stakes. In order to protect himself, he immediately wrote to Fang Xiaoyu, hoping that Fang Xiaoyu could marry Wang Ling immediately, or at least declare that Wang Ling was Fang Xiaoyu's fiancée.
Fang Xiaoyu has also communicated with his three wives these days. The Xia sisters and Elena are very familiar with Wang Ling and are very familiar with Wang Ling. When Wang Ling took the bullet for Fang Xiaoyu, they already had a premonition that something was wrong.
With this result, the three people quickly changed their previous attitudes and supported Fang Xiaoyu in marrying Wang Ling.
With the consent of the three women, the Chinese government issued an official announcement that the lord Fang Xiaoyu would win Wang Xuan's only daughter Wang Ling in three months.
As soon as the news that Fang Xiaoyu was going to marry Wang Ling came out, the whole country was shocked. Unexpectedly, the Wang family would defect to the Chinese leader so quickly. If troops were sent to the Wang family at this time, I am afraid that the sending troops would be crushed by the invincible army of the Chinese leader immediately.
The Wang family has bought an insurance policy. The two major forces of Xia and Cheng will definitely not dare to touch them. Therefore, people's attention begins to focus on the three counties of Donghai owned by the Xiahou family. If the Xiahou family is wiped out, the biggest unsolved problem is the whereabouts of the Imperial Navy.
.
Many people believe that once the Xiahou family is wiped out, the Imperial Navy will immediately defect to the Chinese Territory. If that is the result, the forces occupying the three counties of the East China Sea will have to deal with the pressure from the Chinese Territory from the sea, and there will be no possibility of fighting back.
For a time, there was a stalemate in the domestic situation, and no one dared to break the calm first.
In May 901, Fang Xiaoyu married Wang Ling in Liaoyang Mansion, Luhai County, the new seat of the Chinese government. This wedding was even better than the last time. All forces, regardless of whether they were hostile or not, sent out heavyweights.
They came to congratulate each other, but of course their main purpose was to have a chat, even the Cheng family, the sworn enemies of the Chinese leader, were no exception.
At the wedding, Wang Xuan made an unexpected decision. He announced that Tubo County and Western Sichuan County controlled by the Wang family would be merged into the Chinese territory. The Wang family would no longer hold any positions in the military or political circles, but would focus on business.
Fang Xiaoyu had already had a deal with Wang Xuan before and knew Wang Xuan's decision, but Fang Xiaoyu still declined. Finally, under Fang Xiaoyu's persuasion, Wang Xuan became the Deputy Minister of the Military Command Department of the Chinese Government.
The merger of the Wang family into the Chinese Territory was something that was expected by all parties. After the wedding, Fang Xiaoyu arrived in Tubo County with his newlyweds Wang Ling and Wang Xuan. Due to the large number of Wang family members leaving their posts, the Chinese collar officials
Began to take over the governments of the two counties.
In the past, the three armies and two guards divisions of the Wang family were retained and were still stationed here. However, Fang Xiaoyu reorganized the troops, expanded a large number of troops, and conducted cross-organizations to establish five armies of the defense force.
These five armies will exist as the only five cavalry armies in the Chinese Defense Force.
After the reorganization began, Fang Xiaoyu began to replace a large number of new weapons for the five armies. Zhao Xiao, Chen Junhe and others who were promoted to army commanders were ecstatic when they saw the updated weapons. He finally felt relieved and no longer worried.
Fang Xiaoyu thought that he was not a direct descendant and was replaced. Later, after Fang Xiaoyu had a detailed discussion with the senior officers of the Wang family, their remaining doubts disappeared.
Although the Wang family's territory is connected to the Batan area, it is also an enclave of the Chinese Territory. They are separated from the main area of the Chinese Territory by Loulan County and Shannan County. As long as the Chinese Territory acquires one of these two places, all the land can be connected.
As a result, many people in the country began to doubt whether Fang Xiaoyu would send troops to attack the Xia family.
"Master, Marshal Xia Jun wants to see you." A guard reported to Fang Xiaoyu.
"What? Marshal Xia Jun is here? Please come in." Fang Xiaoyu, who was playing with the children at home, immediately arranged his clothes and prepared to go out. Elena and Wang Ling consciously left with the children, while the Xia sisters
Went out with Fang Xiaoyu to greet him.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Xia Tingwei was the first to run up and help Marshal Xia Jun.
Marshal Xia Jun was no longer as energetic as he was when he came this time. His face was pale, his steps were a little sloppy, and he looked old and deaf. The Xia sisters quickly stepped forward to help Marshal Xia Jun and helped him to the sofa.
.
Xia Tingwei said distressedly: "Grandpa, how could you become like this?"
Xia Jun smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, everyone will grow old. I am getting older. I was seriously injured in the capital last year, and my health is getting worse."
Xia Tingyun pouted and said, "Grandpa, I heard that my husband contradicted you and refused to save me. He and I had a big fight."
Xia Jun smiled and said: "We just have different opinions on some things there. There is no issue of contradicting or not contradicting at all. In the final analysis, I am still too rigid. In fact, I know in my heart that Xiaoyu is right. As for whether I want to die or not.
Rescue was out of the question. Xiaoyu was far away at Lanting Villa at that time and had no idea what was happening in the capital."
Fang Xiaoyu looked innocent and said: "Listen, I didn't lie. If grandpa hadn't come here, my grievances would not be washed away."
"Huh, forget it." Xia Tingyun rolled her eyes at Fang Xiaoyu.
Marshal Xia Jun smiled and said: "I don't have any questions. I came here this time to talk to Xiaoyu. Let's talk to you again after we finish talking about the business." Xia Jun is very respected in the Xia family, and everyone
Everyone in the Xia family dared to disobey him. After listening to Marshal Xia Jun's words, the Xia family sisters had no choice but to leave temporarily.
"Xiaoyu, do you know why I came here this time?" Marshal Xia Jun asked in a low voice when he saw the Xia sisters leaving.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "It should be because of the recent rumors in the country that we are going to attack Loulan and Shannan counties to unite the Chinese leaders."
Marshal Xia Jun shook his head: "No, I know you very well. You are not a cruel person. You are very kind in nature, but you seem to force yourself to fight for hegemony and be strong because of a goal. Although I don't
I know what that goal is, but I know that you have a principled bottom line in everything you do, and you will not do anything beyond the bottom line, no matter how beneficial it is."
Hearing Xia Jun's words, Fang Xiaoyu broke into a cold sweat. Sure enough, Jiang was still hot. He didn't expect that Marshal Xia Jun could see him so clearly. In Xia Jun's sharp eyes, Fang Xiaoyu felt that he had become a transparent person. He secretly slandered, but
I wonder if Xia Jun can figure out the secret of Xiaofeng’s soul chip.
Fang Xiaoyu suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, pretended to be calm and asked: "Then why did grandpa come here this time?"
Xia Jun smiled and said, "I want to tell you a story."
"A story? Then I want to hear what kind of story is worthy of grandpa traveling all the way here." Fang Xiaoyu was a little confused by what Xia Jun said.
