Chapter 44: A Grim Situation

A gentleman, if it is said that they are a loser, they may collapse an ordinary family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, for the Maison......

Being a gentleman is just their worst choice, because the life span is only a few decades, who wants to choose that!

The least bad thing about the family is financial resources. The financial resources of a family are enough to make the children of each family live for life!

But this kind of financial resources is only limited to daily expenses, if it is a contest between families, there is still a huge gap between the seven families!

For example, the top family can easily bring down the seventh-ranked family!

Despite this, the status of the Seven Great Families in Zilong County is still extremely transcendent! All the families other than the Seven Families must be vassals of the Seven Families in order to survive......

Zilong County, a county that has long been saturated, is simply impossible to allow a new force to get a piece of the pie.

To put it bluntly, if the Imperial Imperial Court is equivalent to a county order in Zilong County, then the current Seven Great Families are equivalent to the seven elders of Zilong County, and they are completely able to decide the direction of Zilong County.

However, these seven families can cover the sky with one hand in Zilong County, but they don't look at it when they reach the county level.

Like the Dupinhou Mansion, which was once hit hard by the Feng, it used to be a county-level family, although he belonged to a county-level family that did not focus on martial arts, and they were only at the lowest level in terms of combat power. But even so, there are still three Xuanshi under the command of Du Pinhou!

With three Xuanshi and a considerable number of courtyard guards, even the once top Wang family in Zilong County could not be compared!

This is the gap between county-level families and county-level families!

On top ...... It is the most important imperial family in the empire!

The Imperial Family is so powerful that it can even make the royal family feel the pressure!

The palace family is also a family that has a little say in the imperial capital, and the family history is hundreds of years old, and there are dozens of strong Xuanshi in history!

The existence of the younger generation of middle-level Xuanshi such as Gong Jie is only one of the several patriarch candidates in the family!

This kind of power is undoubtedly many grades higher than that of county-level families!

Although the palace family has a certain status in the imperial capital, it is still not comparable to the two imperial capital families.

There are two major families of the royal family, one is the Ma family where Marshal Ma Wenqian is located, since Ma Wenqian served as the marshal of the country, there is Ma Wenqian's younger brother Ma Yuan as the patriarch, and Ma Yuan's strength is a high-level Xuanshi!

The strength of the Ma family is like an abyss in the pool, bottomless!

The political power of the Ma family is all over the government and the opposition, but it has been loyal to the royal family for hundreds of years, committed to the development and protection of the country!

It can be said that the Ma family is half the sky of the Wanshu Dynasty!

Even the royal family of the Ten Thousand Tree Empire, the Ling clan are quite dependent on them, even if it is the royal family, they dare not touch the people of the Ma family! Once the Ma family rebelled, Wanshu would be finished......

Another imperial family, the Li family

The history of the Li family once had two real powerhouses! But then they all fell because they were wandering outside and encountered disasters!

The comprehensive strength of the Li family is not weaker than that of the Ma family, but the Li family does not have a real strong person, so in the imperial capital, the Li family has been suppressed by the Ma family......

Li Jing, the patriarch of the Li family, has extraordinary strength, and even fought against Ma Yuan, and overpowered Ma Yuan.

The Li family has focused on business for many years, and its economic power is so strong that even the Ma family cannot be compared.

Over the years, the Li family has even established a lot of cooperative relations with the royal level of every country around them, even if some countries are hostile countries of Wanshu!

Wanshu Royal was quite dissatisfied with this, and always suppressed the Li family more or less, trying to suppress the Li family and play a role in beating, but the Li family was a little disdainful of this.

The power under the command of the Li family is quite huge, so huge that ordinary people dare not think of it, the power of the Li family covers every county of the Ten Thousand Tree Empire!

So how powerful is the Li family, the numbers may be more convincing!

The taxes paid by all the forces under the Li family in a year account for nearly half of the empire's taxes!

This is a country that is truly rich and unbeatable!

Meaning, that is to say, the wealth that the Li family can accumulate in a year is almost equivalent to the tax revenue of the Wanshu Empire in a year!

Li Jing's business acumen has made the Li family's industry increase by about seven or eight times in less than thirty years!

It has become the richest family in the Ten Thousand Trees Empire. But this is all based on maintaining a cooperative relationship with the surrounding empires, how could Li Jing not know that the Ten Thousand Tree Empire is dissatisfied with the Li family!

Later, Li Jing organized the rebel forces of Sendai County and worked hard to build Zhao Kun, a real warrior! Subsequently, he united with the Wind Forest Empire, promised heavy profits, and cooperated with the Li family's rebellion to enter Wanshu!

Through Zhao Kun, the Li family united the Wang family in Zilong County and the Tong family in Liu Chongcheng with heavy money...... and many strengths, the elite forces such as the Golden Armor Guard will be transferred first.

Subsequently, he used the power of Sendai County, especially Zhao Kun's real strength, to lure out Ma Wenqian.

It's just that the imperial capital city is empty, and in uniting the Wind Forest Empire, the power of the Ten Thousand Tree Empire in the north will be destroyed in one fell swoop!

The Ten Thousand Trees Empire completely fell into the trap arranged by the Li family, and fell deeper and deeper......

The only thing that made Li Jing a little flustered was that Yang Xuanfeng's uncertain factor was comparable to the existence of an upper-level Xuanshi. There are not many people in the entire empire of such existence!

In the counterinsurgency army, it does not even exist! In one day, he broke through Xianfeng County and shocked the empire. If the Li family doesn't rebel immediately, I'm afraid the war in Sendai-gun will be over!

In that case, the situation of the Li family will become a dilemma!

However, the Li family still ignored an important issue, that is, the desire of the poor Wind Forest Empire for the Ten Thousand Tree Empire!

The 300,000 army was like a pack of hungry wolves, and as soon as the Feng Feng broke through Xianfeng County, they knew that the Li family's plan had been disrupted! In an instant, the 300,000-strong army had broken through the northern frontier with lightning speed and poured into ten thousand trees!

Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, the Li family couldn't take care of it, and the Ma family almost ignored the strength of the entire clan to the north to meet the enemy, and completely ignored the fact that the Li family in the imperial capital dared to rebel.

The imperial capital was in turmoil.

The Emperor of the Wanshu Empire, Ling Yin, led the remnants of the imperial capital to flee thousands of miles in the starry night, fleeing to Hualong County, and all the northern parts of the empire fell into the hands of the enemy......

The empire's economy collapsed, the army was scattered, the people were displaced, and it was desolate......

Bao Feng and Yang Zhao brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into Hualong County......

Here, for the first time, Xuan Feng met the Emperor of the Ten Thousand Tree Empire!

In a large hall temporarily built in Hualong County, hundreds of officials were prostrate on the ground, and the emperor of the Wanshu Empire was standing tall, his right hand was gently propped on his forehead, looking very worried.

As soon as he entered the palace, Yang Zhao said in a low voice: "You have never participated in this kind of scene, don't talk nonsense later, remember not to take credit." The rest depends on how I do it. ”

The voice of one of the attendants at the entrance of the main hall rang out high.

"General Yang Zhao has arrived, General Gong Jie has arrived, and General Yang Zhuofeng has arrived!"

Yang Zhao led the two into the main hall and knelt on the ground.

Respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live......"

The figure in the main hall, with a reluctant smile on his tired face, beckoned: "Zhong Aiqing, let's be flat." ”、

"Thank you for your hard work, for your hardship, the empire is in such a big difficulty, and I am very ashamed of my ancestors. Fortunately, with all of you, you have broken through the barrier and cut the enemy, so as not to destroy the country. On the throne, Ling Yin stood up and said in a deep voice.

Yang Zhao replied loudly: "The ministers eat the emperor's grain and live in the emperor's land, they should have dedicated their lives to the empire, but now the situation of the empire is not good, and the ministers are not in a good war." The ministers are very frightened, if your majesty praises us now, will he not torture us? ”

Ling Yin nodded slightly, signaling Yang Zhao and the others to retreat, and Yang Zhao and Xuan Feng and the others stood among the ministers on both sides of the main hall.

Ling Yin put his hands behind his back and said, "If the ministers of the world are all as loyal and brave as all Aiqing, why is this so?" I now summon the elite of the world, and defend the three counties of Hualong, Hedong and Liuchong, and seek an opportunity to try the northern expedition to defeat the invading army of Fenglin, eradicate the rebel party, and restore the glory of my ten thousand trees! ”

The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty! ”

After retreating, he ran to Yang Zhao's side and asked, "Big brother, how is the situation of our army now?" ”

Yang Zhao shook his head slightly, "It's not too bad, I already have the advantage, and the order to retreat is reached." The marshal ordered the army to attack the city and hold back the enemy, and the army behind quickly retreated, giving up the lives of nearly 10,000 people! ”

Xuan Feng sighed, "If this is not the case, once the rebels leave the city, I am afraid that the losses of the army in the middle lane will be even heavier." ”

Yang Zhao nodded, thinking that he was also in a bad mood.
