Chapter 196: Provocation
The first day of September.
Li Yi has gained more than 40,000 points of faith in one day.
"Sure enough, it's still the power of faith that comes from the war......"
Li Yi said secretly.
The cost is huge!
But the harvest is also huge!
In particular, the continuous transfer of troops from the border to the territory of the big merchants has made the forces of all parties on the border ready to move.
The matter of the Black Wind Village's exchange of divine horses and legendary heavenly treasures has spread all over the world, and this exchange requires a large number of people, and finally, a force can't help but make a move on the city on the border of the Great Commerce, just like an introduction, many forces have taken action at the gathering place of the border of the Great Commerce.
For a while, the whole big business was even more chaotic.
On the court of the Great Shang.
"Let the Divine Horse use the legendary Heavenly Treasure, which can make the Divine Horse quickly replenish his physical strength, and it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day, then the Black Wind Village should be the method used to quickly gallop in the territory of Dashang......"
A minister said in a complicated tone.
The situation of Dashang is very bad, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will affect the society of the country.
"We can't go on like this, I think we should launch a general attack! We can't catch up with their Shenju soldiers, but they can't move in Baiyue's city, they are wantonly attacking in Dashang, and we can also destroy the foundation they have built in Baiyue! ”
A minister said.
"The minister thinks it's inappropriate, their foundation in Baiyue, most of them are old and weak women and children exchanged from all sides, this is a burden to them, we kill these old and weak women and children, but reduce their burden, make them more unscrupulous, the minister thinks that peace talks with them, of course, just pretend to talk, in fact, delay time......"
A minister arched his hand.
Originally, we were secretly forming a balance with the Black Wind Village, secretly wrestling, and the people responsible for encircling and suppressing the Qinglong Village smuggling team broke this balance, so that the Black Wind Village had a reason to make a move, and dealt a major blow to the big merchants in vain, and the materials transported by Qinglong Village were worth how much silver? What if they were to transport it to Baiyue? Now, the losses of big merchants are more than ten times more than 100 times! ”
A minister said.
"The minister thinks ......"
……
The fifth day of the ninth month.
A piece of news reached Baiyue and shocked many forces.
Dashang, because of internal struggles, lost some information, after retrieving, found that Qinglongzhai was once one of the four founding halls of Dashang, Qinglongtang, Dashang Taizu had let Qinglongtang undercover the green forest forces, and strive to wipe out the green forest forces in the Hengling Mountains.
Now, the Great Shang Imperial Court has realized that the attack was wrong, and in order to make up for the damage caused to the Qinglong Hall, Qin Yang, the current hall master of the Qinglong Hall, has been specially named the Qinglong King, responsible for everything in Baiyue.
At the same time, it was faintly rumored in the territory of Dashang that Qinglongzhai had established various rules among the green forest forces, and even if Qinglongzhai was attacked by the Dashang court, it did not forget to cooperate with the imperial court to exterminate the major green forest forces.
In short, try your best to wash the white dragon village.
Don't let the people of the world be too repulsive to Qinglong Village.
In this way, the people of the world will not be too repulsed by big business.
As soon as the news came out, all parties were in an uproar.
The current Qinglongzhai is no longer a small force.
In particular, the relationship with Black Wind Village is very close now, and every move has also attracted the attention of many forces.
In addition, Dashang is also a behemoth, and his every move makes it impossible for many forces to ignore it and crown the king...... It's not a trivial matter, as far as everyone knows, after the founding of the Great Shang Dynasty, there are only a handful of kings with different surnames, and in recent decades, there is no one.
Now, what a great honor it is to crown the owner of Qinglong Village as the Qinglong King?
"There are four halls of Dashang, I have heard of it for a long time, but I don't know the specific affiliation, I didn't expect that Qinglongzhai turned out to be one of the four halls of the founding of Dashang......"
"Dashang finally recognized the identity of Qinglongzhai......"
"The relationship between Heifeng Village and Qinglong Village is good, Heifeng Village is a big thief, Qinglong Village is now the Qinglong King of Dashang, I don't know how the two forces should get along......"
Some forces discussed.
"Heh......"
In the depths of Baiyue, Qinglong City, Qin Yang laughed at himself.
He Jun, the former second leader of Qinglongzhai, has always had a good relationship between the two of them, and the death of the other party hit him hard.
Unexpectedly, they Qinglongzhai have been waiting for the identity for a hundred years, and the Great Shang Court has not given it.
After they Qinglongzhai rebelled against the big business, the big business gave it.
What a mockery?
However, when Dashang does this kind of thing, he definitely does not treat Qinglongzhai sincerely.
It's nothing more than to provoke the relationship between Qinglong Village and Black Wind Village.
Dashang only whitewashed the power of Qinglongzhai, and did not say how to deal with Heifeng Village, it is obvious that Dashang and Heifengzhai are still hostile relations.
At this time, how to choose Qinglongzhai?
Continue to rebel against the big merchants with Heifeng Village?
Or accept the identity granted by Dashang and distance yourself from Black Wind Village?
It is necessary to know that the power of Dashang is very strong, even if it is only a nominal identity, it is unattainable for many forces, even if Qinglongzhai does not return to the territory of Dashang, only with the identity of the Qinglong King granted by Dashang, the nominal power in Baiyue can also make Qinglongzhai get better development in Baiyue.
At this time, Qinglongzhai's behavior is very subtle.
Pity......
The big merchants don't know the identities of Heifeng Village and Qinglong Village.
Because of the relationship between Li Yi and Qin Wan, in addition, Qin Yang has always taken good care of Li Yi, and Li Yi has also helped Qinglongzhai a lot.
It is definitely not something that can be provoked by a decree of a big businessman.
On the same day, Qinyang issued a "holy decree", Qinglongzhai was indeed one of the four founding halls of the Great Shang, however, the Great Shang treacherously, the early green forest things, but did not want to be contaminated with the name of the green forest, intended to kill people and destroy the mouth, Qinglongzhai people are cold, has already decided to break away from the Great Shang court, independent of a country.
On the court of the Great Shang.
After some ministers learned of the content of Qin Yang's "holy decree", they were furious and accused Qin Yang of being rebellious.
But there is no reflection on their attitude and decision towards Qinglongzhai.
Of course, it's just on the surface, they can sit in the position of the court, which one is a fool?
It's just that at this time, they obviously can't stand on the side of Qinglong Village!
"It is said that Heifeng Village used to be the green forest force of Qingyang Erzhou, and many of the high-level leaders of Heifeng Village were born from the green forest forces of Qingyang Erzhou, and Qinglongzhai used to be a person from the Great Shang Court, there is no doubt about this, some gaps can not be eliminated by his Qin Yang's content."
A minister shook his head.
……
September 13.
The completion of the new city built by Heifeng Village was completely completed, and Li Yi named it Qiancheng.
The second new city, which is already more than 300 miles away, has begun to be built, and has been named Xuncheng.
The name of the first batch of cities, Li Yi planned to name it after gossip.
The name of the Great Qian Dynasty has gradually spread, and the population in Baiyue has exceeded 1.2 million.
Coupled with the power of faith obtained in the territory of Dashang, the power of faith that Li Yi obtains every day has reached 43,000 points.
It didn't increase much, because, just a few days ago, Li Yi had already let the top subordinates in the territory of Dashang come back.
According to the information they discovered, Dashang has sent more than 200 top masters, more than 200 divine horses, and more than 200,000 elite soldiers to the border between Dashang and Baiyue, and may attack Baiyue at any time.
Moreover, Dashang has tamed dozens of golden eagles, which can also take people into the air.
Explosives, big businessmen also have, if not more.
The advantages of Heifeng Village over big merchants are no longer so obvious.
It is necessary to gather his subordinates, no longer stimulate the big merchants, and ensure the safety of Qiancheng.
At this time, Li Yi's power of faith had increased to 500,000 points.
Every day passes, the strength of Black Wind Village is increasing significantly.
Now, the benefits he has gained in the territory of Dashang are big enough, and there is no need to force it too much.
Even, Li Yi was thinking, otherwise, he pulled down his face and sent his subordinates to discuss with the Great Shang Court, and the two sides would maintain peace for a while.
Anyway, looking at the actions of big businessmen, it also has this meaning.
……
The number of soldiers in Daqian increased to 35,000.
It's not that Li Yi doesn't want to increase it anymore, but their population, the proportion of old and weak women and children is too large.
He can't add all the young men to the army, can he?
Thirty-five thousand, has reached a limit.
However, with fewer people, the equipment is easier to solve.
Their original loot, pack up, and buy some from the outside, it's almost there.
However, when it was acquired from various forces, Li Yi also really felt that the equipment was expensive.
The same equipment is more expensive in the territory of big business, and more expensive in Baiyue.
A slightly decent set of armor costs a hundred taels of silver.
Repeating crossbows, more than fifty taels of silver.
The vest, a slightly decent one, is more than fifty taels of silver.
Bows and arrows, a pair of fifty taels of silver.
I have to say that fighting a war is fighting money, and this sentence is not wrong at all.
Many countries are originally good, the country is rich and the people are strong, but if a war is fought, it will be greatly damaged, and if it is defeated, even the country and society will be in danger.
Compared with these expensive equipment, the annual expenses of ordinary people are simply insignificant.
A heavily armed soldier is very expensive.
Of course, if you produce it yourself, the cost is much less.
It's a pity that Baiyue doesn't have many forces that can produce their own equipment, and a qualified craftsman is not easy to cultivate, even if he is trained, if he is captured in a war, he may be trained for the enemy, which also leads to few forces willing to train craftsmen.
The equipment they produce is also difficult to compare with that of big businessmen.
Over time, they prefer to buy equipment from big merchants.
Li Yi could upgrade some craftsmen to build equipment, but the production speed was too slow, and the raw materials were limited, so he could only let people build equipment as a reserve while buying it from other forces.
Moreover, Li Yiduo is an upgrade craftsman to create high-powered equipment, such as bed crossbows, super crossbows and other weapons, this kind of weapon, there is no place to buy it if you have money, so it is naturally prioritized, so you don't have much energy to make ordinary equipment.
Thirty-five thousand soldiers.
Thirty thousand of them are junior figures.
Five thousand are intermediate, senior, and top figures.
The overall quality is not too high.
But Li Yi has more than 500,000 faith powers, and he can promote 30,000 junior characters to intermediate characters at any time, so he is not too worried.
In Qiancheng, there must be many people who are spies of various forces.
It is impossible for Li Yi to use the power of faith on everyone, and it is impossible for him to pay attention to everyone's loyalty at all times.
There are more than a million people, and it is impossible for Li Yi to stare at everyone's movements.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some news will go out.
If all the soldiers are not upgraded to intermediate or above, on the one hand, the time is still short, and if he is too strong at once, it is easy to arouse the suspicion and jealousy of all forces, and on the other hand, it is also a consumption of too much power of faith, in case, he has other needs temporarily, it is likely to be insufficient.
September XIV.
Li Yi gained 4,200 points of faith power.
September 15.
Li Yi gained 4,100 points of faith power.
As the cities captured by his top subordinates in the territory of Dashang were quickly recovered, the power of faith he gained began to decrease day by day.
However, the cities they conquered, the opening of warehouses to release grain, the distribution of copper coins and various resources, and the shadows he had planted, some of the subordinates who were subdued in those cities, all played a role in the shadows.
