Next chapter

Sheen listened to Alan and Brian's words, but his brows furrowed, because he found that they seemed to have been discussing for a long time, and they were not really sure what strategy they were going to adopt against Lou Languo. ◇↓So, Sheehan had to speak first to remind: "I think we should first determine whether the main task of the empire is to destroy the Lou Lan country or weaken the Lou Lan country? ”

As the prime minister, Sheehan is not only the manager of the country, but also the emperor's retainer, in addition to always being loyal to the emperor, he also needs to assist the emperor in government affairs, and he must be careful to deal with any order of the emperor. If the emperor's will is wrong, he also has the obligation to remind the emperor in time and assume the responsibility of checking and filling in the gaps for the emperor.

Xian's words were like a slap in the face, which suddenly made Yi Xingchen sober up, indeed, he also admitted that he was indeed a little thoughtless on the issue of Lou Languo.

After thinking about it, Yi Xingchen determined the plan for Lou Languo for the first time: "The short-term goal is to weaken Lou Languo, and the long-term goal is to annex Lou Languo." ”

When Xian heard this, his expression could not hide his surprise, as if he didn't expect Yi Xingchen to make such a decision, so it was difficult to understand Yi Xingchen's motives for a while, and said, "Our ultimate goal is to annex Lou Lan Kingdom?"

Although Sheen didn't mean to deny Yi Xingchen's will, after hesitating for a moment, he still asked the doubts in his heart, hoping to better understand Yi Xingchen's decision.

"Strangling the danger in the cradle. Anhua City is here, in fact, it is not advantageous in terms of geographical location, and it is too far away from Xinghua City. In case something happens, I'm afraid that the far water can't save the near fire. Therefore, it is best to clear out as much of the potential danger as possible before it happens. At present, around Anhua City, the existence of Lou Lan Guo is the most uncontrollable, if Lou Lan Guo and Anhua City are allies, it can help the development and growth of Anhua City, but if it is not, Lou Lan Guo is likely to evolve into the enemy country of Anhua City. In this case, instead of being held by Lou Languo, it is better to preemptively annex Lou Languo now, and remove these factors that may become threats in advance to prevent future troubles. Of course, annexing Lou Lan can also increase the power of the empire in the Western Regions" Yi Xingchen thought for a while, Xian was not wrong, so he simply settled down and said with certainty.

Hearing Yi Xingchen's words, all the ministers present suddenly became enlightened.

"In order to strengthen the trade position of Anhua City, I will increase the trade activities between the empire and Anhua City. Mu En further mentioned a Jianyì and said.

Mu En, who was the head of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, is also the current Minister of Foreign Affairs. To say that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Xinghua Empire has always been lukewarm. Not long ago, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent Chu Feng to Yunzhou in Xia Guo, also to open up the situation. However, to this day, strictly speaking, the Xinghua Empire has not yet established diplomatic relations with any country.

First, the Xinghua Empire is an emerging country, still in the stage of self-development, and the source of living materials for the domestic people, in addition to their own self-sufficiency, Yi Xingchen will provide supplements from Blue Mercury, in fact, there is no particularly large demand for item trading;

There is no need for transactions, and the exchanges between the Xinghua Empire and the other countries of the Firmament Continent are naturally very rare. In short, Mu En felt that since the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not cumbersome and there were many idle staff, it would be better to adjust the functions of the internal personnel and send some diplomats to Anhua City to arrange some other suitable posts for them in order to support the development of Anhua City.

Mu En's mention of yì was also praised by Yi Xingchen.

Immediately afterwards, Allen also put forward the construction of his own field: "The city guards of Anhua City need a batch of munitions, and out of the concerns of Anhua City's logistics, I built yì mainly cold weapons, mainly equipped with long knives and heavy crossbows. ”

Yi Xingchen nodded again.

Cabinet Ministers' construction, most of which are beneficial,

"The soldiers in Anhua City are mainly equipped with cold weapons. But Anhua City must have a small army of semi-automatic rifles, numbering more than two hundred people. This squad is assigned by the Imperial Cabinet and rotates every five years. Therefore, as long as the proposals proposed by the ministers play a promoting role in their respective areas of responsibility, Yi Xingchen will also consider them carefully, and if there is no conflict in arrangement between these proposals, Yi Xingchen will generally adopt them and put them into practice in the end.

After that, the ministers also proposed some more construction to each other, all of which were also about the development of Anhua City. It wasn't until the ministers had almost mentioned it that Sheen remembered Yi Xingchen's plan to annex Lou Lan Kingdom just now, which led to a question about the city guards and army settings in Anhua City.

"The soldiers in Anhua City are mainly equipped with cold weapons. But Anhua City must have a small army of semi-automatic rifles, numbering more than two hundred people. This squad is assigned by the Imperial Cabinet and rotates every five years. This squad only obeys the orders of the city guards, and it will definitely be able to make a difference when it is critical. Yi Xingchen thought about it and said his decision.

The cabinet had no objection to Yi Xingchen's suggestion, and the empire should have certain restraints on cities far from the mainland. A rifle team, which plays exactly this role.

In fact, the cabinet will also have a series of measures to control and develop Anhua City.

For example, in terms of education, the Xinghua Empire will provide resources to help Anhua City establish basic education. The children of Anhua City will receive the education of the empire from an early age. At the same time, Xinghua Empire will also provide opportunities for promotion to colleges and universities. As long as you are admitted to a local college, the empire will provide travel expenses and college living expenses.

In terms of culture, the Chinese language and Chinese language will be fully implemented. All official languages of Anhua City must be in Chinese. In short, Mandarin is the dominant language in Anwa City. Every resident of Anwa City has to learn Mandarin. If you don't speak Mandarin, Anhua City won't evict residents, but if you don't know Mandarin, you won't be able to deal with Anhua City officials.

On the economic front, in addition to cultivating the land and satisfying the food self-sufficiency of Anhua City, Anhua City will focus on commerce, and when the time comes, it will also consider the foreign trade of Anhua City.

Yi Xingchen and the cabinet ministers discussed the various policies of Anhua City, and finally determined the status of Anhua City in the empire - Anhua City was set up as an independent special economic zone. On the imperial side, there are only a few aspects that need to be controlled in Anhua City, one is the appointment of the city guard, the second is to control the city guard's rifle team, and the third is the annual audit power of finance and taxation.

Six months after the construction of Anhua City, Wei Siming officially took office, and the inner and outer cities were clearly divided. The remnants of the Roman Empire moved out of the inner city and built their own houses in the outer city.

The original 800 young people, after a round of selection, left 200 to become police officers of the Anhua City Police Department. Three hundred became the city guards of Anhua City. For the rest, Anhua City did not requisition. In fact, the government cannot requisition all the people, and Anhua City needs young people to participate in the construction.

In the past six months, the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team has sent several more batches of people, and the long-term resident population of the entire Anhua City has reached 8,000. Yi Xingchen will not do anything harmful to others and himself. He did not intend to expropriate the power of Anhua City.

Three thousand second-class legionnaires of the Xinghua Empire should be enough to sweep through the Western Regions.

Not long after, the 3,000 soldiers of the second-level legion of the Xinghua Empire arrived at Anhua City through the Guò space passage.

These 3,000 soldiers formed the Xinghua Empire's Western Regions Expeditionary Force, and Zhao Bai, who was a Xinghua officer in Nanyun City, became the commander.

"Stand up!

In the inner city of Anhua City, 3,000 soldiers are neatly arranged.

Zhao Bai stood on the high platform, looking at his own soldiers, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Not long ago, he was still an officer in Nanyun City, because he was transporting supplies, protecting the safety of the transportation team, and dealing with the attacks of the barbarians, he was excellent. As a result, he managed to enter the officer training camp and was promoted to the rank of commander.

Now, even more so because of his excellent performance in the officer training camp, he can lead the army alone.

After some reprimands, Zhao Bai announced that the expeditionary force would go on an expedition, and the target was a military village in Loulan Kingdom.

A procession of three thousand, lined up in orderly steps, came out of the inner city.

"Yikes!"

Many residents of Anhua City saw the large-scale Xinghua Army for the first time, and expressed their excitement in words.

"Is this our army from Anhua City?"

"No, this is the army of the Empire. ”

"Ah, where did they come from? Why haven't I seen it. ”

"They are the ...... of the Celestial Army"

Professionals in Anhua City, many people have guessed that the empire has the ability to teleport in space. Otherwise, the empire would not be able to send people over anytime and anywhere. Otherwise, where will the construction materials of Anhua City come from? Of course, for ordinary people, the space passage of the Xinghua Empire is top secret. They would all think that the empire had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transport materials from afar to build the city of Anhua. The army of the empire also took a long time to come to Anhua City.

Zhao Bai led 3,000 soldiers out of the city, and remained calm in response to the people's welcome and discussion.

Outside the city of Anhua, 3,500 horses were ready in the morning.

Zhao Bai and the others got on their horses and drove towards Lou Lan Kingdom.

Lou Lan Country, Lou Lan City's royal palace.

Today happens to be Lou Lanwang's birthday.

In the palace of Lou Lan, a banquet was being held to entertain his friends and courtiers.

"I wish the Blue King of Lou, blessings such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe said with a wine glass.

"Hahaha!" Lou Lanwang raised his glass slightly.

The man in brocade clothes, drink it dry in one gulp.

Lou Lanwang squinted, stared at the brocade man and said, "Thank you!" However, I have something I want to ask the president of the Lou Lan Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Speak, king!" replied the middle-aged man.

"The Lou Lan royal family is very short of money, and I need a lot of money. Do you have anything to build on?" Lou Lanwang asked, holding a jade cup and staring at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man is no one else, he is the richest businessman in Lou Lan Country. Pier Ladan, the president of the Lou Lan Chamber of Commerce, almost monopolized the gold, silver and jade business of Lou Lan Kingdom.

"I built His Majesty the King, formed a royal caravan, went to the Xia Kingdom, bought a batch of Xia Kingdom specialties, and then sold them to the Roman Empire, I will definitely be able to make more than ten times the profit...... Sometimes you can make tens of millions of dollars for success or failure. Pierladin said.

"The caravan is not safe. Lou Lanwang said.

"I think it is in the interest of His Majesty the King to form a royal caravan. Alternatively, the royal caravan can follow the Lou Lan Chamber of Commerce and go to the Xia Kingdom together to conduct international trade. Pierladin said.

It's a pity that Lou Lan Wang ******** want money, and he must not be happy to hear Pir Laden's refusal.

When Pier Ladan saw the expression on Lou Lanwang's face, he knew Lou Lanwang's plan. His plan was nothing more than to annex the Lou Lan Chamber of Commerce or raise the business tax. In this regard, Pierladan was very angry with Lou Lanwang's idea.

"I don't want to form a royal caravan, and I don't want to raise the country's taxes. What do you think of my thoughts? Lou Lanwang said.

"The King...... "Pilladen" regretted it and came to the banquet. He didn't expect King Lou Lan to be so undisguised and want money. Perhaps, he could consider transferring his wealth.

Pierradan thought for a moment and felt the need to divert Lou Lanwang's attention. He remembered a message he had received not long ago.

"Your Majesty, I have a very important piece of news. Pierladin said.

Sure enough, Lou Lan Wang showed a very concerned meaning.

"What's the news?" asked Lou Lan Wang.

"Not long ago, a caravan of the Moon Alliance discovered a barren mountain dozens of kilometers south of Lou Lan City. Near the barren mountain, there is a newly built city. Pierladin said.

"How is it possible? I haven't heard of it. Lou Lanwang said.

"Your Majesty, I think you should take it seriously. This city will inevitably be the failure of Lou Lancheng. Pierladin said.

At this moment, a palace guard hurried in.

"Enlighten Your Majesty, discover the enemy's situation. The palace guard said.

"What kind of hostility?" Lou Lanwang was a little sluggish in his reaction.

"Your Majesty, our military fortress, has been attacked by unknown forces. The palace guard exclaimed.

……

Lou Lan Country, Lou Lan City, Lou Lan Army Village.

About 10,000 Blue Army members rested in the military village.

Jin He, the general of Loulan, sat in the tent, drinking and having fun with his subordinates. In front of them, a group of women, dancing for them.

"Report!" a soldier rushed into the tent.

"What's the matter?" asked a young general, dissatisfied.

Jin He also looked at the little soldier with dissatisfaction in his heart.

The soldiers trembled, fearing that the general would kill people at will. In the past, the great general also used to deal with some people,

"Outside the military village, we found an army approaching us. "Little Soldier said.

When General Lou Lan Jin He heard this, he was taken aback, immediately stood up, and said, "This is an emergency!
