There is no definite information in hand, no matter what Yi Xingchen thinks, it is not easy to start for a while. After all, there are still a lot of important things that Yi Xingchen needs to think about right now, and he can't just hold on to this one thing. Moreover, since the headquarters of the Emperor Worship Sect has been destroyed by Yi Xingchen, even if there are remnants scattered all over the place, it will not be possible to think about it, at least, at this time, they should not be able to make much action, so it is not worth Yi Xingchen's extra trouble at this time.

However, although Yi Xingchen said that he did not solve this problem personally, he did not take it lightly. After thinking about it for a while, Yi Xingchen made up his mind, so he instructed Yan En and gave instructions to all places, reminding everyone to pay attention to strengthening the security force.

Soon after arranging this, Yi Xingchen returned to Xinghua City in another world. This time when he returned to the city, Yi Xingchen was to pass the date of his marriage to Liu Yiyi back to Xinghuaguo.

As soon as they received this news, the cabinet of the Xinghua Empire was almost about to explode, and they immediately attached great importance to it, and no one dared to have the slightest contempt! The emperor of the Xinghua Empire was going to get married! This was definitely a major event worthy of the celebration of the whole country for the entire Xinghua Empire. Therefore, the cabinet ministers unanimously and quickly communicated that the wedding of the first emperor of the Xinghua Empire must be solemn!

So, on behalf of the Imperial Cabinet, Sheehan asked Yi Xingchen to take over the task of preparing for the wedding.

In fact, even if Sheen didn't come to the door by himself, Yi Xingchen would think that Sheen was undoubtedly the most suitable person to organize this marriage. Because, Sheen is first of all the priest of the empire, and he presides over the wedding, which is the meaning of the title, and secondly, Sheen is also the most trusted minister of Yi Xingchen among the ministers of the entire cabinet, since Yi Xingchen thinks. Give Liu Yiyi a grand and decent wedding, and then Sheehan is naturally the best person to take charge of this matter.

Yes, Yi Xingchen wanted to give Liu Yiyi a beautiful wedding, so when the cabinet proposed to make it solemn. Yi Xingchen did not refuse, but nodded yes. Regarding his own affairs, many times, in order to keep secrets, Yi Xingchen of course acts in a low-key manner, but the marriage with Liu Yiyi is not within this scope.

For the wedding of the emperor and the empress, the cabinet, of course, will not be too troublesome, on the contrary. They decided to organize it with great fanfare, and mentioned that they could organize people to celebrate it together.

Regarding the arrangements for these rules, Yi Xingchen just told Xian to think more about it, and decided to give him a letter of approval after deciding, and then Yi Xingchen went back to the study and started to deal with affairs.

Under Yi Xingchen's summons, three secretaries. As is customary, as well as the size and importance of state affairs. Successively submitted the relevant texts.

Xia Guo, Guixi County.

A day after Che Enren's team of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce camped on the outskirts of Guixi County, a 100-member team of the Xinghua Baomin Army finally arrived in Guixi County. The battle between the two divisions was like a bamboo, and they cooperated with each other. A tentative attack on Guixi County was launched.

The officers and soldiers of Guixi County, since they learned that the checkpoint was broken, have long become frightened birds, and after being tested several times by the Xinghua Baomin Army, they are even more heartbroken. Not to mention, he was willing to gamble with his life and fight bloodily with the Xinghua Baomin Army who were besieging the city.

It's just that although these officers and soldiers in Guixi County don't want to have a head-to-head confrontation with the Xinghua Army, as soldiers, they can't do anything to abandon the city and flee, which not only humiliates the military body, but also ignores the innocent people in the city. But if they don't abandon the city, I am afraid that when the Xinghua army enters the city, it will be the end of their own lives.

However, what they didn't expect was that when they were in this dilemma, the enemy army made an astonishing move - the Xinghua Baomin Army, which actually sent people to persuade them to surrender, instead of directly attacking the city. When this news came, I have to say that the officials and soldiers of Guixi County were in great spirits because of this, after all, they finally had a chance to save their lives.

Therefore, on the premise of receiving the promise of the Xinghua People's Army -- not to kill innocent people indiscriminately and not to destroy the people's homes, the officials and soldiers of Guixi County quickly decided to open the city gate and surrender instead of doing things in a dying struggle.

Of course, although most of the people in Guixi County are willing to surrender, it is inevitable that there are some officials who are afraid of their lives, and finally flee with their lives and henchmen. For example, the magistrate of Guixi County. Although, this magistrate also knew that he had the responsibility to defend the land and could not surrender lightly, but he knew that he could not resist, and more importantly, he didn't want to put his life into it, so he could only flee for his life.

In the end, the people who took the lead in opening the city gate and surrendering were actually big families in Guixi County.

These people control more than eighty percent of the economic lifeline of Guixi County, and their power is also widely distributed, and most of the soldiers who join the army in Guixi County are the children of their tenants. In fact, if Guixi County really fights, the people in the city will definitely suffer, but for their large households, the impact is relatively the greatest, and they don't want the property they have accumulated over the years of hard work to be wiped out in an instant. At present, since the two armies have reached a consensus, there is no need to fight, and there is no need for them to bear the infamy of betraying the country, this fame and fortune is of course the most fortunate and desirable thing for these big families. Therefore, after the surrender of Guixi County, these big households will take the lead in opening the city gate to welcome the Xinghua Baomin Army and the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce into the city.

Soon after entering the city, Che Enren ordered all the personnel of the chamber of commerce to rectify first, and then he summoned these big families in Guixi County to the county government to discuss the future of Guixi County.

These big households concentrated in the county government, when facing Che Enren, although they knew that the other party was the leader of the chamber of commerce, but because he was a member of the enemy army, these big families still inevitably trembled.

Cha Eun-in hoped that they would be able to adapt to this new situation as much as possible, after all, he was only a businessman, not a soldier. Therefore, he did not put on a majestic posture, but in the face of these big households, he simply talked about the matter: "Our Xinghua Army is by no means an army that kills innocents indiscriminately. As long as you don't oppose us, we won't kill civilians. And the reason why our Xinghua army sent troops to Xia was because the prefect of Shucheng in Yunzhou harmed my Xinghua people. We certainly don't turn a blind eye to the infestation. It's just that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and as long as they are innocent but in danger, we won't stand idly by. Otherwise, we wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to rescue people. I think these facts should be enough for you to understand that our Xinghua country will never be a country that does not distinguish between right and wrong. ”

"What Lord Che said is very true! Welcome to Guixi County!"

"Xinghua Army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!"

"Emperor Xinghua is the king of benevolence and righteousness!"

The people in Guixi County have good words. Maybe they really understood what Cha Eun-in said, or maybe they were just worried that the Xinghua Army would be difficult to subdue to them temporarily.

Seeing this, Cha Enren laughed and said, "Let's shoot less sycophants." I gather you primarily for one thing. I hope you can help. ”

"Lord Che, please say that we have the ability and will definitely help. Everyone in Guixi County responded.

"Although the Xinghua Army does not want to rob civilians of their property, it needs a huge amount of money and food to send troops. Cha Eun-ren said.

"The Qiu family is willing to give 500 stone of grain to contribute to the king's division. ”

"The Wang family is willing to give out 800 stone of grain. ”

"The Chen family, originally gave five hundred taels of silver. ”

didn't wait for Che Enren to finish speaking, the representatives of the big households in Guixi County who were present. Busy took the initiative to cooperate, expressing willingness to support money and food.

Cha Enren smiled: "You still have a misunderstanding. Our Xinghua Army is a benevolent and righteous army, and we will not rob the homes of ordinary people at will...... So, in order to raise military spending, we want to do business with your Guixi County. ”

Cha Enren instructed his subordinates to open a few long wooden boxes that had been placed in the county office early in the morning.

The three wooden boxes were opened, and everyone in Guixi County stepped forward to see that there were excellent steel knives and iron swords in the wooden boxes.

"Your Excellency. I can't wait!"

Seeing this, everyone in Guixi County hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Said. In the laws of the Xia Kingdom, the sword is a controlled item, and civilians who possess it without reason are charged with rebellion.

"What's wrong with you? We are in business! Because of the lack of military spending, we are willing to sell you the fine swords developed by our country. Cha Eun-ren said.

Everyone heard the news. Stop kowtowing, but still have doubts, few people dare to take the initiative to answer.

Seeing this, Cha Eun-in shook his head. Look, the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce wants to borrow the momentum of the Xinghua Army. It is also necessary to establish the reputation of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce in Xia to keep its promises.

Since the people of Guixi County did not dare to buy arms, then Che Enren had no choice but to sell them.

"Here are a thousand swords, a thousand swords, a sword ten taels of silver, a sword twelve taels of silver. A few of you have discussed, so let's divide it...... If you don't, you won't be able to get along with Xinghuaguo. Cha Eun-in said in a tough tone.

"This ......"

In fact, the big households in Guixi County are worried that this is the Xinghua people who want to catch and indulge in the old and lay a trap. However, they didn't dare not listen to Cha Eun-in's threats.

"My lord, the Qiu family is willing to buy two hundred steel knives. ”

"We are willing to buy a hundred steel knives. ”

Representatives of several large households, under the pressure of Cha Enren, placed orders.

After a while, the people from the county government were gone, and Che Enren smiled helplessly. Cattle don't seem to be so easy to do. However, the arms business has finally got off to a start, and when the next shipment arrives, Cha Enren believes that the business of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce will get better and better.

Xia Kingdom, Shucheng, Prefect's Yamen.

The checkpoint in Yunzhou, which was broken by the army of Xinghua State, has spread to Shucheng. In addition to the common people, most of the dignitaries and nobles in the city also knew about it.

Ouyang Deren was terrified when he learned that the checkpoint in Yunzhou had been broken by the Xinghua army. Ouyang Deren was not afraid of the Xinghua Army, he was afraid of the Xia Imperial Court. At this time, there was no way to escape his guilt no matter what. Who called the Xinghua Army to attack Yunzhou in the name of saving their own national merchants.

The lightest punishment, Ouyang Deren's official in this life is only at the prefect level, and he cannot be promoted. At the very least, he can't run away with a mishandled comment.

Ouyang Deren regretted it a little.

However, he was a little reluctant to let Ouyang Deren spit out the goods he had eaten.

"Don't panic, as long as we send the Xinghua Army back before the imperial court reacts......," the master said.

"This is extremely true, I want to go to the Yunzhou General's Mansion. Ouyang Deren thought that the master was reasonable, and immediately took action.

The Yunzhou General's Mansion is in Shucheng. The fall of the checkpoint in Yunzhou was also reported from the General's Mansion.

Ouyang Deren changed into an official uniform, tidied up his appearance, and under the protection of the catcher, he walked out of the prefect's yamen and sat in a sedan chair. Since he knew about the invasion of the Xinghua Army, Ouyang Deren was worried about reprisals, so he had to take guards with him every day.

Visit Yunzhou General Zhang Guangwu.

Zhang Guangwu, general of Yunzhou, was in charge of the military of Yunzhou. But all the Xia troops in Yunzhou were under his control. The Yunzhou checkpoint was lost, and the army of Xinghua invaded Yunzhou, Zhang Guangwu was naturally annoyed.

Zhang Guangwu is stable by nature, and he is different from ordinary military attachés of the Xia Kingdom, he doesn't want to fight for military merits, he wants to live a peaceful and stable life, and give birth to several sons to live a rich life.

A year ago, Dongli invaded Yunzhou and occupied several cities in Yunzhou. At that time, the Xia State and the Manchu Dynasty were shaking, and the new emperor had to send the general Bai Qi, leading the elite, to defeat the army of the Eastern Departure Kingdom and recover Yunzhou. Then, the country was destroyed and the country was established. Later, when Bai Qi left Yunzhou, Zhang Guangwu took over. Bai Qi once met Zhang Guangwu, explained to Zhang Guangwu the strength of the Xinghua Army, and gave him Jianyi, so that Zhang Guangwu could take a defensive position as much as possible by virtue of his geographical advantages.

Zhang Guangwu listened to Bai Qi's words, and also attached importance to Xinghuaguo for a period of time. It's just that after a long time, Zhang Guangwu gradually didn't pay much attention. Of course, Zhang Guangwu has never deducted the materials at the Yunzhou checkpoint. Zhang Guangwu regretted that he had neglected Xinghuaguo's war letter.

However, Zhang Guangwu did not think that the fall of the Yunzhou checkpoint was completely his mistake, first of all, Ouyang Deren, the prefect of Shucheng, could not escape the blame. If it weren't for Ouyang Deren's unauthorized arrest of the businessmen of Xinghua Kingdom for no reason, and giving Xinghua Kingdom an excuse in vain, how could things have come to this point.

"Report to the general, Ouyang Deren, the prefect of Shucheng, to meet you. ”

The personal soldiers of the General's Mansion entered and reported to Zhang Guangwu that Ouyang Deren had come to visit.

Zhang Guangwu didn't want to see Ouyang Deren, but considering that when he was fighting, he needed the cooperation of the government, so he still met Ouyang Deren.

As soon as Ouyang Deren entered the General's Mansion, he angrily reprimanded Zhang Guangwu for Xinghuaguo's involvement in war.

Zhang Guangwu didn't say a word, let him speak.

Although Zhang Guangwu didn't know Ouyang Deren's inner thoughts, he still knew the cause of the arrest of Xinghua businessmen, and the result. Ouyang Deren couldn't fool Zhang Guangwu.

After a while, Ouyang Deren was a little disappointed when he saw that Zhang Guangwu did not angrily reprimand the Xinghua people like him. At the same time, he also understood that Zhang Guangwu was not easy to fool.

"I will find a way to defeat the Xinghua army and drive it out of Yunzhou, but you have to promise me two conditions. Zhang Guangwu saw that Ouyang Deren didn't say anything, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Ouyang Deren, and directly put forward conditions.

Seeing this, Ouyang Deren resigned himself to his fate and said, "Okay, General Zhang, please speak." ”

"The first condition is that I will immediately see 300,000 taels of military expenses. Zhang Guangwu said.

When Ouyang Deren heard this, he suddenly felt a pain in his flesh.

However, Zhang Guangwu glanced at him and said, "You caused the disaster, shouldn't you pay to settle it? Besides, you should have robbed a lot!"
