Next chapter

Just as the two were enjoying the harvest of their arms trade with great joy in the living room, a servant of the Wang family suddenly walked into the living room and reported to Wang Chuanshi: "Patriarch, Deacon Che Enren of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce has visited. ”

"Che Enren, what did he say he was here for?" Wang Chuanshi felt a little strange when he heard this, and then asked.

"It wasn't mentioned. "The servant said.

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know what this Che Enren will visit for?

Wang Chuanshi frowned, thought for a while, and turned to his clan friends: "Che Enren is one of the representatives of the Xinghua Army, and I have to receive him personally. I'm sorry I can't accompany you, but thank you for your understanding. ”

"Is he the one who sold you weapons? I, Karodan, would like to meet him too, and maybe, we can get some suitable goods for our Shanyue tribe. "Friend.

It turned out that this friend of Wang Chuanshi was not an ordinary person, but a minority tribe from Yunzhou in Xia State-Shanyue tribe, and he was the leader of the Shanyue tribe, Carodan.

Carodan's meeting with Wang Chuanshi today is undoubtedly a bumper harvest, not only did he get a large number of military weapons, but also every time Wang Chuanshi traded with him, he gave a 'friendship price', which naturally made Wang Chuanshi return with a full load. He would suddenly know that he had the opportunity to meet with Wang Chuanshi's arms supplier, how could he miss such a good opportunity in vain?

But when Wang Chuanshi heard this, his face changed.

In Shangyanshang, although there have been many transactions with Carodan, and the two parties have established a good trading relationship, no matter how good the relationship is, it does not mean that Wang Chuanshi will be willing to introduce his upstream merchants directly to Carodan's reads;. Because, Wang Chuanshi's profits come precisely from the role of middleman. Therefore, if he introduces the two to each other, it is difficult to guarantee that from now on. Cha Eun-in and Karodan will directly cross the other king's inheritance and make a direct transaction. That means that there is no longer "use value" for the heirloom of his king. So, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Karodan to meet Cha Eun-in.

What's more, Wang Chuanshi just experienced the benefits of being a middleman in Carrodan, earned a sum of money from the resale of weapons, and tasted this sweetness. Of course, Wang Chuanshi was unwilling to cut off this money-making channel. However, the problem is not so easy to deal with, because it is related to the heritage of the Shanyue people.

To say that this Shanyue tribe is indeed not to be underestimated, it is a large tribe in Yunzhou, with a total population of no less than 500,000, if it is gathered together, it can be said that its strength is extraordinary, enough to compete with an army. So, when the Xia court realized this. did not dare to take it lightly, and quickly carried out strict control and separation of the Shanyue people in the name of zoning management. In the end, with the power of national governance, the former Shanyue clan was divided into multiple tribes. And these Shanyue tribes, which were originally evenly divided into clans, gradually became strong and weak under the management of their respective patriarchs, and some of them, because the patriarchs managed well, their strength has always maintained a growing trend, although they cannot be compared with the big clans of the past. But it has also become a force that cannot be underestimated.

And the Shanyue tribe, where Karodan is located, is such a relatively powerful tribe. It has several mountains and forests around Guixi County, and has a young and strong population of more than 10,000. Moreover, it is not the first time that Carodan has purchased arms for the Shanyue Department from other places today, and the manpower and military strength naturally have considerable weight, so here around Guixi County, Carodan's Shanyue Department is one of the top Shanyue clans.

Because of this, Wang Chuanshi could not ignore the existence of the Yamakoshi tribe, and could not fail to consider the fulfillment of Karodan's demands.

It was also decided that despite the dilemma, Wang Chuanshi had to make a choice in the end. He thought for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I'll introduce you two to each other." ”

After a while, Che Enren walked into the living room with two guards, led by the servants of the Wang family.

"Welcome to the Humble House!" At the moment when Che Enren's tall figure appeared in the living room, Wang Chuanshi immediately took the initiative to get up, and greeted him with a smile while taking a few steps towards Che Enren's side, without showing the doubts and speculations about Che Enren's sudden visit in his heart.

"Don't be surprised!" Cha Eun-in said, clenching his fists.

Then, Wang Chuanshi took the initiative to introduce Karodan to Che Enren and said, "No, this is my friend, Karodan of the Shanyue clan. He has admired adults for a long time, and he really wants to get to know them. ”

"Hello, Carodan. Cha Eun-in saw Carrodin, smiled and clenched his fists and said.

"Hello, Lord Che. Carodan also responded politely.

Che Enren had something to do and was in a hurry, so after this greeting ceremony, Che Enren no longer cared about him, went straight to the topic, turned to Wang Chuanshi and said his meaning: "Wang Chuanshi, my Xinghua Empire wants to set up a Xiemin Army to assist the Xinghua Army in maintaining the stability of a place, and your Wang family wants to join the army from the young and strong." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two people next to them were stunned, especially Wang Chuanshi.

It's not that he didn't guess Cha Enren's intentions, but he basically moved closer to the arms deal, so he never expected that Cha Enren would make such an unexpected request when he arrived this time.

But Wang Chuanshi quickly came to his senses, because Cha Eun-in was on the sidelines, waiting for his reply.

How should we decide? Wang Chuanshi did not have a clear enough idea to make this decision for a while. In fact, Wang Chuanshi never thought of letting the Wang family join the Xinghua Empire. The correspondence with Cha Eun-in was just because of arms deals and so on, and he never thought about politics at all, and this choice happened too suddenly for him!

But Wang Chuanshi clearly has to make a decision now - either joining the Xinghua Empire is to betray the Xia State, and the entire Wang family will definitely not be tolerated by the Xia State in the future; Or, it is to reject Che Enren and the Xinghua Empire, and this choice will not make Wang Chuanshi retreat, not to mention that there will be no more arms transactions in the future, and the Wang family may become the target of the Xinghua Empire to deal with one day.

What should I do? Cha Eun-ren of the Xinghua Empire is waiting, do you want to delay? Or do you really want to let the children of the Wang family fall into a situation of disloyalty and injustice?

Wang Chuanshi couldn't help but glance at Carodan, who was standing aside, and had been silent because he felt that something was wrong, hoping that he could give himself something else?

But Carodan is obviously not good at pointing fingers at Wang Chuanshi on this kind of issue, and he is even a little suspicious. Is it a suitable opportunity to stay and get to know Cha Eun-in?

Just when Wang Chuanshi was undecided, Cha Enren seemed to guess his thoughts. smiled: "Actually, we also take into account the identity of the Wang family. Therefore, the children of the Wang family who joined the Xinghua Empire's Xiemin Army can change their names and surnames, which should save the Wang family a lot of trouble. I hope that the Wang family can play an exemplary role and send more children to join the army. We, the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, will also list the Wang family as a weapon seller, and the Wang family can sell a variety of sophisticated weapons produced by the empire. ”

Cha Eun-in's radish is a stick, while beating. While seducing. But relatively speaking, it also means that if the Wang family refuses to obey, it will definitely usher in the blow of the Xinghua army.

Che Enren looked at Wang Chuanshi, Wang Chuanshi's face changed several times, but he could imagine his inner struggle, and finally said after a long time: "Our Wang family is willing to send four or five direct descendants and fifty strong men to join the Xiemin Army." ”

"Okay, those who know the times are Junjie. Tomorrow, the children of the Wang family will gather in Guixi County. Own arrangement. Cha Eun-ren said.

"My lord, I don't know if the people of my Shanyue tribe can join the Xiemin Army?" Carodan saw that the question between the two finally became clear. also secretly relieved, Shun Teng asked.

Compared to Wang Chuanshi, Carodan naturally didn't have so many concerns, they were just a minority tribe in the Xia Kingdom, and the degree of freedom was certainly much higher.

Cha Enren was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Yes." Don't be old and weak, though. Yamagoebe, if you are interested. Tomorrow, you can also take people to Guixi County. ”

Cha Eun-in said. Say goodbye to the king and walk to the next village. Lobbying for the next family.

The next day, the city gate of Guixi County. Post a recruitment order. On the recruitment order, generous military expenses are provided to recruit strong men.

"There are no restrictions on the establishment of the People's Army. ”

In the county government of Guixi County, Che Enren asked Zhao Changdao.

Zhao Chang replied: "There is no limit. ”

"I see. Cha Eun-in thought for a moment and said, "I need the help of the chief." ”

"What help?" Zhao Chang asked.

"Although the Xiemin Army is not as good as the Xinghua Army, I hope they are not a rabble. Cha Eun-ren said.

"For the time being, there is no way for the Xinghua People's Army to draw out officers and train the People's Army. Zhao Chang shook his head and said.

"Sir, you misunderstood. What I want is the batch of troops in the Yunzhou checkpoint. Of course, the commander of the People's Army, I hope to have an officer of the Xinghua Army. Cha Eun-ren said.

"Okay, I'll transfer the surrendered army...... I hope you can do your best to form an army. Within a week, our Xinghua Army will be directed to Xiangshan County. Zhao Chang said.

"I see. Cha Eun-in nodded and said.

Zhao Chang's words are obviously not unconscious nonsense. He wanted to sue Sù Che Enren that the Xiemin Army should do its best to form an army. When Xiangshan County was conquered, it was the time when the People's Army used force.

It's no wonder that Xiangshan County is different from Guixi County. Guixi County is located in a mountainous area with a relatively small population, and the Xia people coexist with other races. The meaning of its existence is to educate the alien race, and it is a market for the Xia tribe to trade with the alien race. At the same time, Guixi County is not far from the Yunzhou checkpoint, which has the role of temporary transfer of materials. A long time ago, the Xia court had migrated from the hinterland to settle in the Xia people. Sometimes, some people who committed minor crimes were exiled here to maintain the population status of the Xia people in Guixi County. Of course, because Guixi County is located in a mountainous area, it is not popular with the Xia people. Xiangshan County is different, behind Xiangshan County is the Yunzhou Basin, which is actually the granary of Yunzhou. As a result, an army of 1,000 people was stationed in Xiangshan County.

During this period of time, the reconnaissance troops sent by the Xinghua Army detected any abnormalities in Xiangshan County. A large number of people entered Xiangshan County. Obviously, in order to guard against the Xinghua army, the Xia army reinforced Xiangshan County. The Xia army wanted to use Xiangshan County as a base to launch a counterattack against the Xinghua army.

What the specific situation is, the Xinghua army has not been found out for the time being, but Qin Zhengguo and Zhao Chang have made up their minds to capture Xiangshan County. Without Xiangshan County, Yunzhou's grain and grass will face the threat of the Xinghua Army. When the time comes, the Xia court does not pay attention to the requirements of the Xinghua army, it is impossible.

You must know that Qin Zhengguo and Zhao Changke were very dissatisfied with the Xia Imperial Court's lack of reaction to the Xinghua Baomin Army's breakthrough of the checkpoint and the invasion of the Xia Realm. The Xia Imperial Court was slow to react, and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xinghua Kingdom had no place to use it.

Xinghua City, the Imperial Palace.

Yi Xingchen was cultivating, and there was an urgent report from the guards, and Xien asked to see him.

Yi Xingchen interrupted his cultivation and went to the study to meet Sheen.

"Your Majesty, good news! The space passage key has made progress. Sheehan said happily.

Yi Xingchen asked, "Is it the blood of the giant earth dragon, or is it a fifth-level array mage?"

"The Thunder Dragon mercenaries have successfully obtained the blood of the Earth Dragon, and they have returned to the mountain and sea stronghold. The Cabinet has issued a directive ordering Neo to send someone to answer and ensure that the blood is returned to Xinghua City safely. Sheehan laughed.

"Okay, great!" Yi Xingchen also smiled.

"Is there an echo from the troops heading to the Western Regions?" Yi Xingchen continued to ask.

"There has been no response yet. Sheehan shook his head.

"That's not going to work. Yi Xingchen walked back and forth in the study for a few steps, and said to Sheen: "Since we are not short of materials, the matter of the space passage key must speed up the process." ”

"What do you mean?" Hien wondered.

"I remember that not long ago, the Xinghua Intelligence Station in Shu City of the Xia Kingdom sent back news that they had discovered the whereabouts of a fifth-level formation master. In the name of the cabinet, I ordered the Xinghua Intelligence Station in the territory of Xia Kingdom to pay attention to collecting information on the whereabouts of the fifth-level array mage, formulate a plan of action, and prepare for me to kidnap a fifth-level formation mage and come back. In addition, a report was sent to the Xinghua People's Army, asking them to respond to the actions of the Xinghua intelligence station at any time. ”

"Yes, sir!" replied Sheehan.

Yi Xingchen thought about it, and was afraid that something was wrong, and then said: "To add one thing, the Shucheng Branch of the Xinghua Intelligence Bureau is only responsible for liaison, separated from the action team, and cannot be exposed. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it now. Sheehan knew that the Emperor couldn't wait, and neither could he. With the space passage key, the passage of the two realms can be stabilized, and the emperor can be more relaxed, without having to bother to maintain the smooth passage of the passage. The development of the empire cannot rely on Yi Xingchen forever.

Prime Minister Sheehan left the palace again, coming and going in a hurry, but Yi Xingchen also fell into a beautiful imagination. Perhaps, in a short time, he will be able to take his new wife and explore his empire. Instead of trapping yourself in Xinghua City as you are now, it is difficult to get out once.

When Yi Xingchen thought of this, he was full of hope for his wedding.

……

Two more days have passed, and there is still one day left before the wedding day of Yi Xingchen and Liu Yiyi.

Blue Mercury Xinghua Island ushered in many congratulatory guests.

Yi Xingchen wants to set up a banquet. Every person he knew, he sent a wedding card
