A few days later, a set of long-overdue news caused a huge impact in the cities of Canton like an iceberg.

"Why are the ships on all continents delayed?"

"Because he was requisitioned on the spot,"

"The dynasty began to requisition ships from other states,"

"To transport the garrison troops from the two seaways and sail north,"

What this sign means is self-evident to these people who rely on the background of this war and run their business layout.

Therefore, in the left city of Guangfu, where thousands of merchants gather and goods gather, the closing bell rang with some haste.

Countless people lost their souls and walked out of Baoquan Street like mourning, but they refused to be solicited by those coachmen who came up, and walked like a walking corpse, and suddenly jumped into the river with a pop, but unfortunately the river alleys in the city were too shallow, and they were soon found and fished up by others shouting.

Then he was covered in mud, sitting on the ground with water and weeds, and howling incoherently.

"Gone"

"Nothing......"

"All of them were pressed out to borrow debts......"

"Now that you have chopped me, you can't pay it back......"

"What's so fun in this life......"

And he is just a small microcosm of the crowd that fled from Baoquan Street.

Their most common characteristic is that they took advantage of the victory to chase after the good news, and those who smashed the pot and sold iron copied a large amount of money at a high position, and the recent issues of military debts and battlefield fund-raising, and then with the bad news of some kind of unfavorable war, they were immediately smashed in their hands, and they did the scrapping of money that no one cared about.

Because these hyped projects are almost always based on the existing rights and expected revenues obtained by Northland. Therefore, all of a sudden, there was a flood of mourning, and there was a cry.

And these people are just the tip of the iceberg standing in the foreground, and the surface of the water, just those wealthy giants standing behind are enough to make these seemingly prominent figures, all kinds of life is worse than death.

And the impact of this turmoil is not the beginning and precursor of a series of landslides and tsunami-like changes and chain reactions that will involve countless people in the future.

Because there are still enough people who continue to maintain a certain luck mentality, or out of the gambler mentality of breaking the pot and breaking the can, and desperately betting, they resolutely refuse to believe that the vigorous preparation for the Northern Expedition will come to an end.

I would rather think that this is just a temporary setback and defeat, not irretrievable and still have a turnaround, and then smash the pot and sell iron, and add more investment to return to the cost.

And for the height of the Guangfu court, this is a great earthquake that is no less than the collapse of the sky and the earth.

Because, after the bad news of the collapse of the eastern route and the continuous retreat of the middle route came one after another, although there was no definite news about the western route army, it was not optimistic.

After all, although the West Road gathered the combined forces of Jingnan and Xichuan, it was actually used as a partial division to cut off the Northern Dynasty, which may come from foreign aid from Guannai and the northwest. After losing the echo of the other two attacking armies, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone and the result will be worrying.

The Northern Expedition of the Northern Expedition, which has been gathered for hundreds of years, has been planned for several generations, and has invested an unknown amount of effort and resources, and it has been in vain. Once the specific situation is widely spread, I don't know how many people will wear filial piety, and I don't know how many high-ranking families will mourn all over the country and lose their pillars.

You must know that the last time such a big defeat collapsed, it was in the Jiayou march at the beginning of the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, which almost swept away the power of the sea feudal princes known as the eight hundred families, which had been gathered for many years, which contributed to the initial foundation of the Liang shogunate's strong state-building system.

The defeat of the Northern Expedition this time, the loss of manpower and material resources is not yet calculated, and the huge loss in the military strength of the national dynasty alone is enough to shake the foundation and prestige of the ruling party, and this is not a fantasy.

After all, the hundreds of thousands of horses lost in the north, including many of the Chinese and foreign armies of the country and the Chinese and foreign armies of the country and the soldiers stationed in Yanbian and Tun, the veteran powerhouses or cutting-edge divisions with outstanding military achievements, are not the ones that can make up for the second mobilization of the new soldiers who can pass the second mobilization in a while.

The iconic troops that represent the return to the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, the palace army sent to the north was destroyed again, and it is also easy to remind people of the era when Emperor Zhengding fell, the imperial power fell next to the power, and the South China Sea Shogunate was reduced to the aftermath.

therefore

Even the Great Xiangguo, who was half retired and half retired, had to show up in the court with a bad attitude, while making all kinds of postures to calm people's hearts, and then go all out to recruit the military forces led by sea and land, and go north to help.

In the current situation that the Central Plains is eroded and the situation is unclear, at least half of the mountains and rivers south of the Great River must be preserved, at least the southeast is an important place for population and wealth.

Another place in the city of Guangfu,

This sudden news was a kind of heavenly joy for Chen Zikun, who had returned to Guangfu incognito, and the Northern Expedition had failed.

And that damned opponent is also trapped in the Northland, and according to some rumors, there are already a large number of people in the main battle faction in the rear who are trying to blame these fallen forward generals for the unfavorable situation in order to escape responsibility.

As the saying goes, "It's not that you don't report, the time has not yet come".

Although the opponent was in the place of death, the foundation he left in Guangfu was particularly rich and impressive. After losing the support and protection of his power and background, he was inevitably coveted and spied on.

Especially under the large chain losses caused by the fiasco of the Northern Expedition, it is naturally very good to be able to get generous industrial compensation from carving up these, and his own Wuguan Chen family is obviously one of them.

And he didn't expect that there would be a chance for the big revenge to raise his eyebrows so soon. He almost wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, what a retribution.

Maybe there is still a chance, with the help of the family and a certain supporter, he finally succeeded in overturning the case at the top, and regained his identity and became a young riding school that was admired among the children of the nobles.

He wasn't particularly greedy, he just had to snatch the woman back, and then charge a large sum of money as interest, and then he could let it go.

And then enjoy the other party's expression of pain and humiliation every day, this is the correct style of his riding school. Thinking about this, he couldn't wait to do something.

Although he knew that this matter would definitely not be so simple. And what really needs to stand in the foreground is just Chen Zikun, a chess piece who has long been notorious and can be let go by the family at any time.

Then, Chen Zikun suddenly remembered something.

"How much ...... has been lost in the family"

"About two or three hundred thousand of the water went to ......"

"So many ,......"

Chen Zikun was slightly moved.

"This is exchanged for copper, and there are hundreds of millions of dollars...... No wonder"

It's no wonder that the family suddenly expressed their full support for him as an outsider, and it was also an urgent intention to make up for the loss.

After all, although the Chen family is known as a wealthy family, they also have a lot of money to attend under the big business, and in fact, the cash in their hands is limited, and they can't come up with these amounts for a while. It is necessary to sell the property at a discount to maintain turnover and dignity......

Jiangdu County, Yangzhou, has just calmed down from a state of chaos and raging soldiers.

But the accumulation of corpses, the wreckage of buildings that are still smoking, and the mess of abandoned objects all show the severe loss and trauma suffered by this important city in the north of the Yangtze River.

In contrast, it is relatively intact, but it is set up on the Guabu Island on the riverside outside the city, and there is a transfer camp with the banner of "Longzhou Tuanzuo", because it is surrounded by water on both sides and the long causeway on the other side.

Therefore, although he was not immune to the onslaught of the rebels, relying on sufficient armed deterrence and counterattack in the battalion, he was able to survive lightly and capture many prisoners.

Therefore, when Governor Ning crossed the river and the chaos in the capital of the river under the banner of supervising the country, he borrowed the road from them to land on the shore.

As the current host of the camp, Zheng Zhou, the former Donghai human trafficker, is now the organizer of the right army grain station of the Quanyu Camp, and is also the governor of Ziwu, the judge of the Longzhou regiment, and the official Zheng Daguan, who is also receiving a lobbyist who came to him.

It's just that although this lobbyist is an old acquaintance of his, his tone is a little arrogant and arrogant.

"You should already know what lies ahead"

"Which of you is Luo Fan now, I'm afraid I can't count on ......"

"But these things in your hands are strange goods......

"Therefore, my lord is especially gracious to give you a future and a way out......"

After all, the power is stronger than people, he was originally arranged here in Jiangdu, relying on the connections in the army, living in the rear of the front line to do a lot of business between the troops, exchanging what he has and what he has and what he has to exchange for price, trafficking and buying all kinds of sought-after goods and captured booty, not only making countless profits from it, but also living a very nourishing life as an agent.

But suddenly there was a thunderbolt from the sky, and the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Southern Dynasty was actually defeated, and the backer and sponsor he relied on also cut off the news.

When the defeated soldiers who fled were wreaking havoc inside and outside the city, the news of the destruction of the East Road army became known to everyone, and it was impossible to even block the news.

As a result, those people who had been gathered in this camp for a long time also became panicked, and in just over half a month, these caravans and caravans from the Borneo clan had already fled or fled one after another.

Some people don't even want to find an excuse, so they just don't say goodbye and cross the river overnight.

In the end, only some people close to Luo Fan's own family, as well as the baggage team under the name of Longzhou Tuanzuo, led by Zheng Zhou, stayed here in Jiangbei with the hope and expectation of some kind of thing, and continued to wait for some kind of news.

It's just that with the passage of time, his confidence and confidence are also weakening step by step, but now he is desperate, has no choice, and is unwilling to give up the fruits of his struggle over this period of time and start again. Only then did he grit his teeth and lead the way and continue to stay.

However, it is obvious that some people have taken a fancy to the resources and channels in his hands, and the lobbyists who have sent acquaintances have thrown out this bait and choice.
