Chapter 329: Exotic Territory

The reaction of players around the world made Li Shouren very happy, and after officially signing the contract with Qin Xiang, he hurriedly arranged for the bank to respond.

Under the instruction of Li Shouren, the banks under the Oriental Group began to buy advertising pages on major media newspapers and news websites in various countries around the world, and posted screenshots of the classic mecha of "Battle" in the advertisements to carry out extensive advertising.

Externally, the Oriental Group officially acknowledged that its subsidiary Oriental Bank has established a cooperative relationship with a top technology company, and the two sides have signed a formal contract.

The Oriental Group promises that when the "Campaign" virtual bank is opened, anyone who holds valid documents, such as ID cards, can apply for a special game bank account in the Oriental Bank, a subsidiary of the Oriental Group. After the account is successfully created, players will start the business service of exchanging "Campaign" points with real money at the same time.

The Oriental Bank of the Oriental Group has issued an official statement that it will increase the business of exchanging "campaign" points in major currencies such as US dollars, euros, and Chinese dollars around the world. The detailed currency exchange business will be officially announced when the virtual bank opens.

Oriental Bank's global business, due to the restrictions of branches, mainly provides bank exchange services in politically stable countries such as Europe, North America, and Asia. The increase in the exchange of points has actually made Oriental Bank bear certain risks. Therefore, Li Shouren asked top technology companies to control the amount of points exchanged for currency.

In addition, as a businessman, Li Shouren is naturally very good at taking advantage of the situation. In addition to making demands on top companies, if it is found that the situation is not right. The Bank of the East will certainly set a rule on the amount and frequency of currency exchange.

With the help of the development of advertising, Li Shouren timely launched a special exchange system for VIP services, as long as any member user pays 10,000 US dollars in advance, he can enjoy the "campaign" bank card of Oriental Bank's VIP service, promising to increase the exchange limit for VIP users.

The card was first launched, and within a week, 10,000 cards were sold worldwide. This system brought 100 million yuan in revenue to the Oriental Bank in a short period of time. Li Shouren can imagine that these more than 10,000 users will be potential big customers of the bank. In the future, it will also bring great benefits to Oriental Bank.

The success of this business greatly encouraged Lee, and his position within the Eastern Bloc was strengthened.

So Li Shouren was more motivated. He was planning a bigger bank. Requires company personnel in the island country. The construction of the branch of the Oriental Bank in the island country has been accelerated. Only when the branch port of the island country Oriental Bank is established, can it be faster and more secure to interconnect with the "campaign" payment server.

At the same time, under the auspices of Du Le, the island nation also set up a private commercial bank with only a dozen employees. The business of this bank is simple. It is mainly used to exchange virtual points in the currency of the island country. 1,000 yuan island currency. It will be possible to redeem one "Campaign" point. A virtual experience hall in the island nation. You will be able to experience this currency exchange service first.

Not only that, Du Le relies on the sales department of top technology companies to bind bank accounts. Any user who registers on the official website of Top Tech and purchases a virtual helmet. You will receive an additional bank card from a private commercial bank in the island country.

Because the private commercial banks of the island countries only have physical banks in the main island cities of the island countries, they are temporarily unable to provide real-time services for global customers.

However, with the help of the official website of the top technology, it can be convenient for any "campaign" gamer. Any player can send money to a private commercial bank in the island country or ask a top technology company to exchange their local currency for the currency of the island country. Once you have the currency of the island country, you can exchange it for campaign points in the currency of the island country.

Although this exchange process is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming, it is the only bank that truly offers global currency exchange.

Just when Du Le had been busy in the island country of the earth and the moon base, the foreign Ming court finally gathered 100,000 central troops, 200,000 local troops from various prefectures, plus the people, known as 500,000 troops, and was marching towards the southern jade city of Yunzhou.

This time, the emperor of the Ming State was bound to drive out the "barbarians" of the Han State and restore the country. Not only that, but hundreds of officials in the Ming court also had a unanimous will to eliminate the Han State.

As for the advice of the defeated generals in the last attack on the Han State and the description of the lucky escapees in Nanyucheng, they were all regarded as strange talk by the people in power in the Ming Kingdom. Heavenly punishment was regarded as a thunderous accident. An invincible spider machine, considered a loser's runaway's quibble. Even some Wenchen generals believe that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is the dragon son of heaven and earth, even if the lord of the Han State is an immortal, he is not as noble as the emperor of the Ming Kingdom

Under these words of confidence one after another, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom even had the intention of driving the expedition in person. This frightened the originally extremely arrogant civil and military officials, and hurriedly dissuaded them in every possible way, and finally the general of the Ming State to conquer the south led the troops on behalf of Fengtian.

South Jade City.

The acting city guard Nangong Yan was a little uneasy in the city lord's mansion, walking back and forth. He got the exact news that the Ming court had gathered 300,000 troops and was ready to attack the southern jade city.

The reason why this news made him value it so much and would not think it was a military intelligence fake report was because this news came from a letter of persuasion sent to him by a former Ming State colleague in Yunzhou.

In the letter of persuasion, the former Mingguo colleague told Nangong Yan that if he could abandon the darkness and join the Ming, raise troops in Nanyu City, and when the Ming army arrived, he would cooperate with the Ming army, and the general of Zhengnan could promise to exempt the Nangong family from the death penalty

The reason why Nangong Yan hesitated was indeed frightened by the figure of 300,000.

As the acting city guard of the Han State, Nangong Yan knew that the Han army in Nanyucheng did not exceed 5,000 officers and soldiers. And a new city established by the Han State in the mountains, in fact, the Han court paid more attention to it.

In fact, it was only half a year since the Han State occupied Nanyucheng, but Nangong Yan had already seen the huge changes.

The Han State treated civilians of all ethnic groups equally. As long as you join the Han Kingdom, you will become a citizen of the Han Kingdom. You can get all kinds of benefits, including taking official exams, and it is also the abolition of cronyism, but meritocracy.

In the Ming Kingdom, especially in Yunzhou, in order to ensure the interests of the Ming Shang clan, Yunzhou took repressive measures to treat some ethnic minorities.

In addition, the Han State established a complete set of criminal laws, and any act in the Han State has a legal basis. Meantime. A merchant in the Han Kingdom. I brought a variety of goods.

So in less than a month after the war, Nanyucheng became extremely prosperous.

Nangong Yan thought to himself that if the Ming army came back in another year or two, the Han State might have captured the hearts of the people of Nanyucheng. And became the people of Nanyucheng who took refuge in their hearts.

Now. The ordinary people who are still loyal to the Ming Kingdom in the Southern Jade City. It's not so much about gratitude, but about being afraid of the army of the Ming Kingdom, and in the current situation is not clear. I am deeply afraid that the more I have contact with the Han Kingdom, the more powerful the liquidation will be in the future.

In contrast, Nangong Yan still has some confidence in the Han Kingdom. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hesitated.

After thinking about it for a long time, Nangong Yan finally made up his mind - to resolutely stand on the side of the Han Kingdom.

Because, if he surrenders to the Ming State again, even if he really captures the Han State in the future, there is no guarantee that he will still get an official position in the Ming State. This also made Nangong Yan reluctant to be an official in the Han Kingdom.

Moreover, Nangong Yan is very confident in the lord of the Han Kingdom. Judging from the current situation of changes in the people's mind, even if the Han Kingdom cannot occupy Yunzhou, it is impossible to be destroyed. In this case, the Nangong family simply moved part of their family members to the hinterland of the Han Kingdom to avoid trouble.

After making up his mind, Nangong Yan immediately left the mansion and went to Wei Quai's mansion.

Wei Qubing was the highest general of the Han army in Nanyu City. Although Wei Quzhi has a temporary mansion in Nanyu City, on weekdays, he lives in the barracks to train sergeants. Every few days, he had to lead his troops to patrol around Nanyucheng to ensure the smooth progress of the Han government's governance plan, and also to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the Han army was not weakened.

Regarding the movements of the Ming army, especially the movements in the north of Yunzhou, Wei Qubing naturally would not be ignorant. Therefore, when Nangong Yan personally came to inform him of the military situation of the Ming army, Wei Quai's joy could not be hidden.

Nangong Yan couldn't see any fear on Wei Quai's face.

"Nangong City is defended, the Ming army is strong, and our army can only temporarily abandon Nanyu City." Wei Quzhi said.

"Oh, why?" Nangong Yan asked puzzled. He also thought that Wei Qubing would insist on fighting and dispatch giant spiders. The invincible image of the giant spider has penetrated into Nangong Yan's psychology.

"In Nanyucheng, our army only has 5,000 sergeants, and the enemy is strong, so it is the best policy to avoid its edge." Wei Quzhi analyzed it seriously.

"Why don't you send out the giant spider," Nangong Yan asked.

"The appearance of the giant spiders is terrifying, it will inevitably frighten the people, and the lord of the country has locked them in the military city, and no one can mobilize them without the order of the lord of the country." Wei Quzhi said.

When Nangong Yan heard this, he no longer had any doubts. This terrible weapon, those in power will definitely have in their hands.

"And where should we take refuge?" Nangong Yan asked.

"Military City!" Wei Quzhi replied.

Nangong Yan nodded, said goodbye, and said, "I'll go and arrange the retreat now." ”

"If any people are willing to take refuge in the military city with us, they can go with them. The people who follow us to the military city can enjoy becoming civilians of the Han Kingdom immediately. The old are supported, and the young are taught. Wei Quzhi said.

Nangong Yan nodded.

The Han State has several welfare laws and regulations, which have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Among them, the old are supported and the young are educated, which is the one he agrees with the most. Men and women over the age of 50 can receive monthly government rations, and children over the age of 5 and under 10 must be sent to receive cultural education for at least three years, and the education expenses are paid by the government.

On the contrary, in the Ming Kingdom, most of the young children and the elderly could not enjoy such treatment.

Nangong Yan also gradually learned about the laws and regulations of the Han Kingdom, and only then did he realize the high welfare of the people of the Han Kingdom. Officials like him have even become citizens.

Moreover, in Nangong Yan's view, the fact that the Han State was able to annex the Qi State and the Jin State was enough to prove that its national strength was not weak, and the Ming State could not destroy its country at all.

On the contrary, the surroundings of the Ming Kingdom were not stable. Nangong Yan is an official of the Ming Kingdom, and he also knows that the Ming Kingdom is in the north, there is also the threat of nomads, and there are pirates raging in the east, not that the world is peaceful.

This is doomed, the Ming State against the Han State is not a war of invasion. The Ming State was simply unable to mobilize the forces of the whole country to deal with the Han State. The Ming State gathered 300,000 troops to be stationed in Yunzhou for a long time, and eventually had to retreat to various places due to the problem of logistics and food. At that time, the Han State was still the hegemon of this region. When the Han State completely digested the Qi State and the Jin State, the Han State did not have the strength to win the Central Plains.

Three days later, at the gate of Nanyucheng, Wei Quzhi rode on a horse, looked at the black head, and sighed in his heart. The policy of the Han State in Nanyucheng was actually supported by the people of Nanyucheng. Many people were willing to drag their families and follow the army to the Han Kingdom and enter the Han State household registration. Become a commoner of the Han Kingdom.

This situation also touched Nangong Yan, who was standing side by side with Wei Quai, a lot. It turned out that he was not the only one who was willing to change to a Han Chinese.

The policy of the Ming State in the south of Yunzhou is completely to treat the people as sheep, and only by asking for it and not giving it back will it lead to the loss of the people's heart.

Seven days later. Nangong Hiko through special channels. Inform the Ming colleagues and officials in the north of Yunzhou. Soon. The general of Yunzhou town guard sent soldiers to occupy Nanyucheng and reported to the Ming court to invite merit.

Up and down the Ming court. None of them can understand what Han Guo has done. Some Ming ministers proposed to disband the Ming army.

But the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was a person who understood, and he was harsh on the spot.

If the Han army had not suffered heavy losses, it would have retreated to the Han kingdom like this. The Ming army was disbanded and retreated to all parts of the Ming Kingdom, and the Han army attacked Yunzhou again, what should the Ming State do? Assembling a large army is very resource-intensive. The emperor wanted to solve the problem once and for all, and did not want to leave it for later.

Soon, the general of the Ming army in Nanyucheng came news again.

The Han kingdom occupied a valley in the mountains not far from the southern jade city and established a new city. Not only that, but they also enslaved the people of the Ming Kingdom and specially arranged for them to mine.

The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom seemed to understand the actions of the Han Kingdom.

Many ministers of the Ming Kingdom speculated that the Han Kingdom had discovered gold mines in the mountains, so they were desperate to occupy the mountains for mining.

Suddenly, countless noble families of the Ming Kingdom set their eyes on the Yunzhou Mountains.

"The mountains are also the territory of my Ming Kingdom, and the army will not be able to return to the dynasty until the Han army is completely driven away." Emperor Ming said. The emperor still has a sentence in his heart, that is, the lord of the Han State has seriously offended the majesty of the emperor of the Ming State, how can he not be taught a lesson.

If the results were brilliant, the Ming Emperor would not mind letting the Ming army enter the Han State and seize the lord of the Han State.

Fifteen days later, the first army, 50,000 Ming troops, arrived in Nanyucheng.

The leader of the Ming army was a vanguard general of the southern expedition, whose rank was higher than that of the general of Yunzhou Zhenshou.

When the vanguard general saw the sparse people in Nanyu City, he was surprised, blamed the town guard general on the side, and said: "The imperial army came to kill the Han bandits, why didn't the people in the city come out to greet them?" ”

In several cities in the north of Yunzhou, there are many people on both sides of the streets, lined up to welcome. However, when he arrived at the former occupied area of the Han Kingdom, he was not welcomed as he imagined, which disappointed the vanguard general.

One of the staff members next to the town guard general was very clever and said: "The Han Kingdom is in the mountains and valleys, and the establishment of a military city requires hundreds of people to mine. The Han army took most of the people in the city captive and turned them into slaves in the mines, and mined for them day and night. ”

When the vanguard general heard this, he sighed: "The Han bandits are shameless, they are really barbarians. ”

In fact, many officials in Yunzhou are aware of the movements of the people of Nanyucheng. However, they could not tell the truth. According to the truth, the Ming court will suspect them of corruption and harm to the people, resulting in the loss of people's hearts.

"Is there a situation in the military city, come one by one." The vanguard general asked.

General Zhennan did not hide it, and told the vanguard general, saying: "In the military city, in addition to about 8,000 Han troops, there are also more than 1,000 Han miners. This is the total strength of the military city. In addition, there were tens of thousands of Ming prisoners of miners and the people of Nanyucheng, who were forced to enter the military city and become low-level civilians in the city. ”

The vanguard general smiled slightly and continued to ask: "There are only more than 10,000 soldiers in the military city, and I have 50,000 elites, can I capture the military city?" ”

"The walls of this military city are extremely high, and it is difficult to take them." The Yunzhou town guard general said tremblingly.

When the vanguard general heard this, he was a little dissatisfied, and said to the generals around him: "Who dares to lead 5,000 soldiers to be the vanguard?" ”

"No, General!" General Zhennan hurriedly stopped.

"Why?" The vanguard general asked dissatisfied.

"Han army, know the demon law" The town guard general had to reply.

"Don't fool the people!" The vanguard general shouted angrily.

The town guard general suddenly did not dare to say more.

On the same day, a young general of the Ming army, with 5,000 soldiers of the Ming army, broke into the mountain range under the guidance of the guide sent by the general of the town guard. And more than 40,000 Ming troops, followed closely behind, camped outside the mountains.

The goal of the Ming army was the military city.

The vanguard general was in the big camp, waiting for news from the junior general of the Ming army.

The requirement of the vanguard general to the junior general is to occupy a favorable location on the outskirts of the military city. As soon as he received the exact news from the junior general, he would immediately lead his army into the mountains, and the vanguard general did not want to wait for the arrival of the army before acting. He was anxious and wanted to make meritorious contributions.

The young general of the Ming army led 5,000 soldiers, and unexpectedly, without any hindrance, arrived at the city of the Han army.

Looking at the city wall dozens of meters high, the young general of the Ming army was stunned. Not only that, but the military city is surrounded by some mountains. They could not imagine how the Han Kingdom had built its city in this place.

The Han army in the military city seems to have known about the arrival of the Ming army. The gates of the military city were closed, and on top of the high city walls, there were human figures when they arrived.

In order to find out the situation of the military city, the young general of the Ming army asked the soldiers to set up camp, and then he deliberately climbed a higher hill with hundreds of soldiers. But on the hillside, the young generals of the Ming army could not see the inside of the military city clearly. Because there are countless buildings in the military city, which completely block the streets.

However, the young general saw the appearance of the Han army on the city wall. The young general judged for the first time that the Han army in the military city was the elite of the Han army.

Wei Qu was sick in the military city and sat in peace. He was not at all worried about the threat of the Ming army outside the city. Moreover, the mine is located in the military city, which will not affect the mining work. In the military city, a lot of food has been stored, which is enough for the military city to consume for three months.

So the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Ming army. (To be continued......)
