In Guangfu, with the decrease of all kinds of unidentified floating corpses in the small river passing through the city, a series of periods of decline in all walks of life brought about by the failure of the Northern Expedition a few years ago seem to have bottomed out with the news of the wartime progress in the north.

Because, it is said that after receiving the full support and reinforcement of the Jiangning base camp, the soldiers on the Xiangfan battlefield on the middle line have been pushed back to Shangzhou Wuguan under the leadership of Wang Xianchen, the only surviving general who is still in power in the Northern Expedition;

After the new economic envoy and the commander of the capital Gao Zhong led the troops to take office, the erosive war in Shuzhong on the Western Front also stabilized, and the entire Golden Bull Road and most of the passes in Hanzhong were recovered one after another from the hands of the defeated Western Army.

Therefore, the good news and expectations related to the war have once again led to an upward trend in the market downturn.

Of course, during this period, no matter how many people jumped into the river on the table, and how many people went bankrupt and failed; How many wealthy businessmen and wealthy families have been ruined overnight or have left behind a lot of debts and fled to a foreign land.

However, as a wealthy eunuch in the local society of Guangfu, the daily quality of life and extravagant enjoyment of the noble family have not been reduced much.

And it's been another busy day for Roche House.

With the wave of bankruptcies of various economic recessions, the hungry purchase of various materials and the sweep of the factory**, with the falling prices and labor have finally passed, on the other hand, there is official attention and pressure.

Although it had been quite cautious before, through the background of the Borneo Association and the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, the piecemeal and ant moving dispersal operations were carried out, but the purchase of more things in various fields, and the accumulation of mobile aggregation still inevitably attracted some official attention.

In particular, the newly appointed three envoys announced the imperial court's determination to crack down on hoarding and restrict the annexation of land and industries.

It was also announced that from now on, large transactions of more than 5,000 yuan or more than 6 million yuan must be filed with the Quan Ping Supervision under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple on Baoquan Street for inquiry, but if there are those who dare to give or accept privately or other evils, violators will be severely punished.

Among them, what is the intention of Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, it is naturally self-evident.

And another major event that happened in Canton recently,

It was in the midst of the noise and jumping up and down, and all kinds of behind-the-scenes deals and compromises, that the Imperial Court finally passed a resolution to increase the tribute and contribution of the feudal families on the islands and continents of the two kaido.

And the Son of Heaven in the Shoushan Palace issued a great edict with a seal, ordering the fifteen continents and eleven sub-patrols of the East and West Sea Roads to be implemented together.

The standard of this increase varies from 20 to 50 percent according to the distance and the degree of barrenness of local production; In addition, additional public bonds and official bonds will be issued, most of which will be assessed and pledged according to the rank of overseas feudal families and the number of households under the feudal family;

In addition, the name of naturalization to help the country and other items was established, which was collected from all naturalized families in the Liangkaido by the yamen of the state capital where they were located under the 11th Patrol Road.

Although, it seems that they are all the same standards.

However, if the new edict is to be carried out in accordance with the provisions of this new edict, the closer to the center and the higher the degree of development, the total land area of the island is larger, the administrative divisions are more complete and complete, and the proportion of nationals and naturalized people is larger, the princes of the Tokaido maritime domains will undoubtedly become the big losers.

At the same time, as the first step and foreshadowing of the new prime minister.

With the first batch of overseas expropriated products, it seems that the various provinces in the ridge, which had been exhausted by the protracted war, could take a breath......

The battle for the breakout of the inner city of Kaiyi was heated from the beginning. With the sudden rush into the front of the city camp, the corpses of the battlements and horses were like a blood-colored vortex, constantly stirring together, and firmly and tenaciously advancing and protruding.

The disaster is that the rear of the coalition army of the princes of the North Gate was raided, and the big tent of the North Gate, which was originally in a safe position, was also attacked and destroyed by a death squad; After losing the command of the town, the encirclement formed by several princes alternately was uncontrollable, and since then the door has been wide open, and the cavalry in the inner city has been killed in one go.

What's worse is that the passage that was cleared before to facilitate the transportation of siege equipment has become a smooth road for these cavalry to gallop and rage.

At the forefront of the drive was a mutant version of the fire array, a herd of frightened horses on fire that scurried down the streets, with little to stop them.

The head of the head of the Chu family, the little prince who delayed the military aircraft, was hung on the pole head in anger. The coalition of princes also became more desperate and hard-working, stimulated by a certain crisis and humiliation.

For Xue Dingfeng and the others who stayed in the city, it was out-and-out bad news.

The Xue clan has been operating in Kaiyi City for more than ten generations, so they will naturally have some preparations and arrangements to deal with the crisis and emergency situation of the Yi family, such as several secret passages between the inner city and the outer city.

But these secret paths are only known and mastered by a few core members led by the feudal lord, such as the fallen inner lord Xue Shirong, or the bedridden patriarch Xue Dingbang, perhaps only know;

As for Xue Dingfeng, he was still recruited from the original five-way guard envoy, at least ten seniors, and he didn't have time to know about it yet. Now, this key and secret has become an opportunity for the Pinglu Army to break through, how can this not make people resentful and resentful.

It is okay to die here with the city, such a cowardly and incapable feudal lord, does the Xue family have a reason to be immortal, he even thought to himself.

And along the north gate where the Pinglu army fled, the surrounding princes' coalition forces that finally reacted also bravely rushed forward to kill them.

Looking at the enemy soldiers who had rushed out of the north gate and poured up the city wall in the rain of arrows.

"The success and death of the Xue family is in this dynasty."

Xue Dingfeng couldn't help but shout resolutely in despair.

"Kill the enemy with me......"

"Let these thieves have a good life, and my Xue Jian'er's decisive spirit ......"

Only a moment later, he was surrounded by piles of corpses, and those Xue Clan's athletes were still desperately entangled with the enemy until the last moment before they died.

Then, instead of stopping more and more enemies from occupying the walls and gatehouses from all sides, it opens more passages and turns the inner city into a battlefield of despair and wailing.

The guards and retinues around him were almost dead, and his hands were so trembling that he could barely hold the knife, so he could only kneel on the wrong corpse, and the other party did not continue to shoot with bows and arrows, obviously with the idea of trying to capture him alive.

It's just that, as the last general of the Xue clan, how can he easily let them get their wish. Looking at the fires and smoke clouds slowly rising in the direction of the Xue family's mansion.

"I have to give me a ride......"

He tried his best to twitch his skin, and said with a bleak smile to Xue Anren, who was only scarred by his side

"Dare to call ...... disobey"

Xue Anren, whose clothes and armor were covered with blood, also gasped and raised the long sword in his hand. Then, he handed it out and stabbed it in the air, only to be knocked to the ground by the approaching crossbow.

"Quick. Fast...... Quick"

And on the wall near the north side of the outer city, there was also a team of men and horses who hurried over, rushing in the relatively spacious wall at the head of the city, and the leading general Qu Duan shouted loudly and encouraged.

"Gotta catch up"

"Stop these thieves ......"

In a sense, they were also the closest troops to the north gate, so they rushed over immediately under the leadership of Qu Duan.

Then, they ran head-on into a group of scattered friendly troops, and saw the shouts of battle near the ruined tower in the distance.

And the faint sound and movement of a huge object moving suddenly made Qu Duan feel a little anxious.

But it was the Pinglu army that broke through that they had already rushed to the north gate of the outer city, and began to dismount and rush up the city wall to kill the defenders, and do the thing of seizing the key points.

"Damn,"

Qu Duan roared angrily, and saw a number of scattered arrows coming at him, knocking down some of the fleeing allies and his men in front of the entanglement.

"Unfold in place, shoot ...... in three sections"

He continued to roar.

"The ...... of the Upper Thorn"

Suddenly, the hastily raised upper, middle, and lower layers of firearms spewed out a cloud of fireworks, and those friendly forces who were still running and scurrying in the way, along with the crossbow-wielding enemies in the distance, fell to the ground one after another.

"Blade Charge......
