Shen Deqian put the porcelain juhua teacup on several cases, and the soft sound of "pop" made Shen Yi nervous for a while.

Shen Yi has been leading the Yongyang Beicheng command for two years, but all affairs inside and outside the Shen clan can only be handled if the head of the family, Shen Deqian, nods and agrees.

Three years ago, Yongyang Mei's family plotted against Donghai County, but fell into the conspiracy of Xu Bodang and Gongliang Youqin, and almost wiped out his family.

The elite combat strength of the Mei clan under Tairu City has been reduced to nine, and only two battalions of guards remain, and the East China Sea War was originally launched for it, which can be described as the criminal clan of the East China Sea.

Yongyang coerced the top ten of the family in this matter, but the Shen family was able to keep their strength alone.

The Shen family failed to replace the Mei family as the first family of Yongyang.

The Su Gang rose rapidly and became the number one force in Yongyang Mansion; In order to protect the huge family business of tens of millions of gold, the Mei clan formed an alliance with the Su Gang to jointly control the political situation of Yongyang for Xu Ruyu and become the second force in Yongyang; The Shen people, along with the Longyou Gang, the Yanling Gang, and the Xu (Daofu) people, became the second-rate forces second to the Su Gang and the Mei people.

Shen Deqian frowned and glanced at Shen Yi, and reprimanded: "Who asked you to send more eyeliner in Biqing Lane?" Xu Ruyu's coming to Yongyang Mansion was boiling, but except for the Su Gang and the Mei Clan, there was no definite news from the other families, and your move made the Shen Clan suddenly come out. ”

Shen Yi muttered in a low voice: "Xu Ruyu is a human after all. ”

Shen Deqian snorted coldly, looking at Shen Yi's eyes with hidden disdain, thinking that only this son could inherit the family business, he couldn't help but sigh. The Wanling Chen clan became the lord of Donghai County, although it was created by the times, it was also related to the absorption of children with different surnames who were very good.

If there were no children with foreign surnames such as Zhang Zhongdao, Zhang Jidao, and Fang Su, and only the children of the Chen clan's own and second sects, the Chen clan would not be able to use the victory of the East China Sea War in a short period of time to rapidly expand its power to Biling Mansion, Tairu Mansion, and Yixing Mansion.

Shen Binglu and other children of the Mei nationality with different surnames shined in the later stage of the East China Sea War, which made Xu Ruyu quite favorable, and also prompted Xu Ruyu to choose the Mei nationality as the second force to stabilize the political situation in Yongyang.

The Shen clan has been quite conservative for decades, and has always strictly defined the boundary between the high and poor families, and has never absorbed children with different surnames.

In the later stage of the East China Sea War, Yongyang's original battalion guard system collapsed, and various forces requisitioned displaced people to prevent Gongliang Youqin from attacking the city, and formed a new guard system.

Due to the lack of manpower and limited expansion of the army, the Shen tribe could only have two battalions in the end, and its combat strength could not be compared with the two battalions of the Mei people's guards.

Xu Ruyu is already in Jiang Lingtian's mansion, even if the Changhe Gang doesn't pass the book, Shen Deqian can guess Xu Ruyu's whereabouts a few points.

Shen Yi did not get Shen Deqian's permission to increase the monitoring of Biqing Lane without authorization, and this kind of self-defeating move naturally could not be concealed from Xu Ruyu.

Thinking of this, Shen Deqian couldn't help but regret agreeing to meet Jun Xiaoyun if it caused Xu Ruyu's hostility.

It is rumored that Xu Ruyu gave up Yongyang's power for Jiang Youli, but Shen Deqian disdains such rumors.

Two years ago, if Xu Ruyu insisted on staying as the governor of Yongyang Mansion, those forces that had been unfavorable to him would inevitably unite to resist his power, and the Mei clan would not follow Xu Ruyu with all their hearts and be willing to use it. The situation in Yongyang, which Xu Ruyu could not really control with his great military exploits, was especially in an environment where there was no threat from external forces.

Xu Ruyu resigned from the post of governor of Yongyang Mansion and left Yongyang Mansion to weaken the vigilance of various forces in Yongyang, but he actually controlled the situation in Yongyang Mansion through the Su Gang, the Mei Clan, and the reserve camp.

Not only that, but it also made the Mei people willing to contribute money and efforts to help him rise rapidly in Qingjiang Mansion.

Within a year and a half, the materials transported by the Qingyan Army to Yongyang for sale were less than two million gold, but the value of materials purchased from Yongyang, Jiangjin, and Yuhang was as high as five million gold, and most of the huge differences were made by the Su Gang and the Mei people.

The Su Gang is a newly rising force, its own financial resources are insufficient, and the material use of Qingjiang is quite limited, and the Mei clan obviously maintains the family's prosperity on Xu Ruyu alone, such a resoluteness, Shen Deqian asked himself that he could not do it.

Yiguanyuan's county-setting policy implemented by the Xunjia in Fen County can vaguely see the traces of the "Displaced Population Resettlement Order" and the "Post-war Wasteland Disposal Order".

If the county policy was written by Xu Xing, Xu Ruyu would not have abandoned it, and it was unknown what kind of outcome the family that followed him would eventually get.

Setting the county policy is a taboo in the hearts of the family, if it is not for the determination to be the enemy of Xu Ruyu, Shen De is worried, and he will not be able to declare it.

The feast of Jiangfu was carried out as usual, and the generals of Xu Ruyu's department of Yongyang Mansion often gathered in Jiangfu to sing and feast, and the eyeliner of each family was not abnormal about this, and the high candle as thick as an arm shone brightly in the hall like day, and the guests and friends hugged the wine and shouted, but there was no Jiang Lingtian, Mei Tierui, Zhang Zhongdao and others.

The courtyard of the corridor in the middle of the Jiangfu is idle, and it is no different recently, but the guards in the surrounding courtyards have been strengthened, and the courtyard is hidden in it.

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Ling Tian was too careful, who would dare to touch your ass now?" ”

Mei Tierui said: "The Qingyan Army is rising in Qingjiang Mansion, the Yuejun family hates and fears you, and they dare not openly oppose each other, Yongyangsheng has an accident that they are most willing to see, how can we not guard against it?" ”

Mei Tierui wanted Yingxue to act as Xu Ruyu's guard again, but because Jiang Youli was accompanying her, she had to press down on this very tempting suggestion.

Xu Ruyu hopes that Mei Yingxue can serve as a guard, the situation in the world is delicate, and the Changhe Gang and Donglin will be eager to move their forces south is a sign, and if there is a master like Mei Yingxue to maintain the safety of Youli, he can get away with confidence.

It's just that making such a request inevitably devalues Mei Yingxue's identity, and Xu Ruyu kept silent.

Yun Qingxu said: "Donghai and Yuejun belong to the southeast corner, and the six counties of Jinyang, Yongning, Fenjun, Qinzhou, Qingzhou, and Youji are the places of chaos and the hegemony of the world. Once upon a time, the southeast became the world's most eye-catching place? ”

Zhang Zhongdao laughed: "In recent years, other places have been too quiet, only the movement of Donghai and Yuejun is bigger, no wonder those bitches want to come over to join in the fun." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled knowingly. Yiguanyuan assisted the Xun family in Fen County to implement the county policy, which not only delayed the restoration of Nanping, but also slowed down the use of troops against Jing County, except for the fear of consolidating the occupied territory, and no longer advanced to Jingnan and Jingdong.

That's exactly what makes an even bigger storm brew in it.

Jiang Lingtian saw Xu Ruyu looking over and said, "The eyeliner of the northern counties has been increased, but the Cai family will run Youji and the Xun family will run Fen County well, and it is difficult for ordinary eyeliner to do anything." ”

Xu Ruyu nodded, a little hesitant, obviously thinking about something.

Mei Tierui said: "For more than ten years, the Hulan people no longer went south to plunder, but instead expanded their influence to the Bohai Sea and Baekje in the east and the west to the west......"

Xu Ruyu suddenly interjected: "The people of Hulan must be guarded. Then he said slowly, "At the beginning of the founding of the Hulan people, the traditional tribal system was finally changed to a subordinate system that integrates military, production and administration. At the beginning of the Zuo Ling system, it was convenient for the tribe to hunt, and it had already taken shape decades ago, and his father and Kou Zichan discussed it. Hulan was originally active in the Jianzhou area in the northern part of the Hulan grassland, hunting for a living. Due to the increase in the number of people in groups, the hunting activities in groups require unified command, and their commanders are called small flag leaders, and this multi-person organization is called small flags. In order to facilitate the unified command of larger-scale hunting and operations, it is necessary to form a larger unit with several small flags, and use military flags as a guide to prevent confusion. Fifteen years ago, Chu Shimi in Suiyuan City to rectify the establishment, stipulating that three hundred Hulan people for a small flag, six small flags for a flag, six flags for a partial flag, six partial flags for a positive flag, respectively to the small flag leader, inlaid flag leader, partial flag leader, positive flag leader as the leader, Ding Zhuang in wartime for the soldiers, peacetime for the people, its combat power is very strong, Hulan set up a total of four main flags, Hulan people about 260,000, of which Ding Zhuang can be used for the war as many as 100,000 people. Over the decades, Chu Shimi fought everywhere, expanded his territory rapidly, and his population also swelled rapidly. It is very likely that under the influence of the county policy, a year ago, Chu Shiduan once again reorganized the organization, and Chu Shimi organized the foreign clans in the territory and the people who came from the captivity into servant banners, as a level lower than the small banner, engaged in the production of slave surnames. The small banner organization based on the Hulan people overrode the servant banner and was biased towards military and administration. ”

Zhang Zhongdao gasped and asked, "Raised by a son of a bitch, doesn't Chu Shimi have 100,000 elite horses?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Even if you don't hit, it's not far away." ”

The Hulan people began to make up foot soldiers in the past two years, and the strength of Hulan is afraid that the Xun family or the Cai family alone can stop it.

The establishment of the servant banner enabled the Hulan people to take off their hands from production and hunting to specialize in military affairs, so that they could organize long-term and large-scale military operations, and the auxiliary leadership system was finally perfected.

The Changhe Gang and the Donglin Society were anxious to move their forces south, and it was very likely that they had already detected the anomaly of the Hulan people.

However, why are neither Uncle nor Mr. Yi aware of it?

When Xu Ruyu and Cai Yi, the king of Beijing County, met in Shangnan, only Youli accompanied him, and no one else knew the details.

Jiang Lingtian said: "The news is so strict, it is quite the style of Nanping County, if the north is in chaos, the most beneficial is the restoration of the Nanping Rong and Yuan families. He was also worried that the Xun and Cai families would not be able to inflict heavy losses on the Hulan people even if they died, so they hoped that the Changhe Gang and the Donglin Society, which were important water camp forces in the north, would go south in case of emergency. ”

The southward movement of the Changhe Gang and the Donglin Society had many advantages for Nanping County, not only making the situation in Donghai and Yuejun more complicated, so that Xu Ruyu could not form a force sufficient to threaten Nanping's move in the short term, but also when the situation in the north unexpectedly deteriorated, there were enough water battalion forces in the Huaishui, Surabaya, and Jinshui systems to prevent the Hulan people's iron cavalry from continuing to move south, and Nanping could prevent the Hulan people from moving south in the Hanshui water system.

Even if a hundred of them were unwilling, Xu Ruyu had to gather under the banner of expelling the alien races headed by the Nanping family, so that Nanping County was at least formally restored in the south.
