This is the street named after Qin Duan, and it was also renamed at the request of the people of the city. The recruitment offices on the streets were crowded, and the young and middle-aged people who had signed up for the recruitment were lined up in several long lines with no tail in sight, anxiously waiting for the inspection and selection of the recruits. There is a huge propaganda poster above, and in the center of the painting is a picture of Qin Dui wearing a military uniform, describing coldness, and facing the sky with his hands behind his back, and it can be seen that his painting skills are quite exquisite.

Next to him were a few huge words full of strong rhetorical tones: "Do you want to become a powerful general?" Do you want to be the new idol of the women of the Empire? Do you want to be a national hero in history? Come on, join the army and make your dreams come true!! ”

I casually took a piece of propaganda materials, which still painted the images of Li Daring, Liu Xiaoshan, Ding Daniu and others, but they were replaced with images of ordinary soldiers. "Three years ago, they were just a small soldier of the Great Qin Empire, with loyalty, bravery, and resourcefulness, they have gone through countless bloody tests, and now they have finally become the pride of the empire, the heroes of the nation, and the commander of Tokugawa County. Come, raise your strong hands, take your solid steps, and join the army to achieve your highest goal in life!! ”

Looking at these propaganda columns, Qin Duan suspected that if he was an ordinary young man, he would probably be attracted by this series of propaganda offensives, and he couldn't wait to join the army.

Liu Rushi and Sima Qingqing were very amused by such an exaggerated propaganda poster, and Qin Duan could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly after reading it, this Li Hua is really a talent, and he will make full use of the image advantages of Qin Duan and those senior generals in the army. It seems that when necessary, he can also ask the War Readiness Administration for a large amount of money for the use of portrait rights, Qin Du thought secretly in his heart.

Today, Tokugawa Castle is a large city full of life and vitality. Compared to two years ago, it is simply impossible to calculate in Daoli. The influx of nearly one million immigrants has not only caused the city's popularity to soar, but also brought a large number of cheap labor, and the city's handicraft, commercial, and entertainment services have been fully developed.

And the victory of the war against the Huns gradually restored the value of the originally moribund transportation hub, and Qin Du wanted to do so after this war. The Tokugawa's economy would grow even faster, and once the threat of the Huns was lifted, there was no one in the region who could challenge Qin's leadership. The next step will be to expand its sphere of influence to a greater extent, and to continuously enhance its economic and military strength, so as to prepare for greater benefits.

While imagining a bright future, Qin Du casually strolled through the streets of Tokugawa Castle. Liu Rushi and Sima Qingqing probably rarely go to the street to live like ordinary people. also seemed full of interest, holding Qin Dui's hands in and out of the big and small shops, but the good times did not last long, and soon someone recognized Qin Dui, before being surrounded by excited people, Qin Dui had to lead the two ladies to hurriedly highlight the crowd and flee back to the county guard's mansion.

Just when the people of Tokugawa and Northwestern Prefecture were joyfully celebrating the defeat of the Huns, Qin Du was also ambitious and hoped to take advantage of this victory to gain greater benefits. Thousands of miles away, the top and bottom of the capital fell into a mixture of joy and sorrow.

As early as August, many media outlets in the capital began to report that the situation in Meishan and Longdong counties in the northwest counties of the empire had begun to deteriorate. The inaction of the local government has made the situation even more sinister, and it has spread to the surrounding prefectures and counties due to the outward expansion of the rebels in these two counties. Yushan Mansion in Meishan County and Black Mountain Mansion in Heshuo County have all shown signs of instability.

Although the various ministries in the capital strictly restricted negative reports in this regard, the news was still quickly known to the people of the capital. In September, the situation in Meishan and Longdong counties became even worse, the local government garrison was constantly wiped out by the rebel army, and the remnants of the troops were besieged in the city, and the various functions of the local government were basically lost, and they were completely surviving in the city. Many news outlets, influenced by some powerful people with interests in the two counties, constantly criticized the central government of the empire for its lack of response, and sat idly by and ignored the situation in Meishan and Longdong counties.

And the imperial court also has suffering, the Sislo Empire, the Kaman Empire and the Poole Kingdom are all keenly aware of the predicament of the Great Qin Empire, and they have stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in the border areas of the Great Qin Empire, and the Kaman has increased the number of occupation troops stationed in Jiama City, the Duchy of Gerook, to 200,000, and constantly put on a posture of going south and west, forcing the armies of the Northern Military Region and the Western Military Region of the Great Qin Empire not to dare to move at will, and Lishan County, the only one that can draw out mobile troops, not only has it withstood the double pressure from the Siathrow Empire and the Kaman Empire, Although Fielding knew that the purpose of these parties was to contain himself and unable to draw troops to help Meishan and Longdong counties, but in the face of such a grim situation, he did not dare to act rashly, so he had to firmly strengthen his defense, and he could only say sorry for Meishan and Longdong's request for help.

The instability of the surrounding areas also increased the uneasiness of local governments, who kept writing to the imperial court, saying that the situation in their territories was critical and that they needed to strengthen the garrisons, and strongly opposed the withdrawal of the garrisons of their own territories.

Immediately afterwards, the attention of the imperial court was attracted by the large-scale invasion of the Huns, and the request for help from Meishan and Longdong counties was temporarily ignored. It was not until he learned that Qin Du led the Tokugawa army to defeat the invading Hungarian army in one fell swoop, that his attention returned to the two counties of Meishan and Longdong, and the use of troops against the two counties was put on the agenda again.

In order to divert the people's attention from the deteriorating shape of Meishan and Longdong counties, the imperial court also instructed the news media to hype up the defeat of the invasion of the Huns by the Qin Dusk, and the major newspapers and periodicals reported on the glorious results achieved by the Tokugawa army brought by the Qin Dusk, especially the capture of more than 150,000 Hun prisoners by the Qin Dusk, which was a proud achievement that had never been achieved in the history of the Great Qin Empire. However, this time, Qin Duan went deep into the enemy's hinterland, defeated the enemy army in one fell swoop, and captured such a large number of prisoners of war, which made the entire Great Qin Empire have a feeling of raising their eyebrows, and ordinary people even sang and danced to celebrate this hard-won victory.

However, the victory could not hide the plight of Meishan and Longdong counties, and the rebellion in the two counties even had the tendency to spread, so that the imperial court had to settle down and seriously think about countermeasures.

On January 16, the sixteenth year of the Apocalypse, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival of the new year, the imperial court held a military meeting again to discuss how to deal with the changes in the situation in Meishan and Longdong counties.

In the Taihe Palace, Zhao Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, looked a little uncertain, completely defeated the invasion of the Huns, and cut off the clutches of the Huns into the northwest region, which made him excited, but the ensuing rapid deterioration of the shape of the two counties of Meishan and Longdong also troubled him, and the strength of the rebel army in the two prefectures was expanding day by day, which had seriously affected the security of the neighboring prefectures and counties, and if no measures were taken, I am afraid that it would really cause a big disaster.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is already very clear, and everyone can put forward their own opinions and suggestions, as long as it is conducive to solving the current complex and dangerous situation, they can say that they are not guilty, and I will not blame." Looking a little tired, Zhao Youxiao half-leaned on the royal chair and presided over the meeting.

However, His Royal Highness was silent, almost everyone shrunk their necks, not daring to open their mouths, the emperor was temperamental in the past two days, although he had already spoken, but if he didn't listen to the words, it would inevitably make His Majesty angry. The military officials who originally proposed the transfer of troops from the Western Military Region were also reluctant to repeat the old saying because their opinions had been shelved, and the scene was a bit cold.

"What? Is there not one of you here who can share my sorrows? ”

Zhao Youxiao was also a little annoyed, usually these people were more active in fighting for power and profit than anyone else, but when it was their turn to come up with a solution to the problem, they were all speechless.

By the time His Majesty the Emperor's mood began to deteriorate again, all the ministers felt as if there was another sign of a storm coming, and couldn't help muttering to themselves.

"Father, in fact, in addition to the regular armies of the two military regions in the west and north of our empire, we have other armies in the northwest region that can support the two counties of Meishan and Longdong!"

The one who was shocked was actually His Royal Highness Zhao Yan, the crown prince who usually indulged in lustful dogs and horses, at this time, only he, the prince, dared to speak first, after all, the emperor is such a precious son today, even if he says it wrong, there will be no problem, if other people are not easy to say, make the emperor unhappy, and he will take off a layer of skin if he does not die.

Colonel Zhao You couldn't help frowning, the army of Lishan County had long been pinned down by the armies of the Siathrow Empire and the Kaman Empire, where could they still have the strength to support? This is a well-known situation.

"Do you mean the army of Lisan-gun?"

Zhao Youxiao asked a little irritably, if it weren't for his son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire, who spoke this time, Zhao Youxiao would have scolded a long time ago.

"No, Father, Lishan County is too busy to take care of itself now, I mean Qin Du, who has just defeated the Huns!" Under his father's stern gaze, Zhao Yan was a little more solemn.

One stone hit a thousand waves, and all the ministers of His Highness began to discuss, it is not a good thing to let Qin Duan send troops at this time.

"But after the great battle with the Huns, can Qin Duan draw enough troops to deal with the rebellious army in Meishan and Longdong counties?"

Zhao Youxiao was shocked, he was not surprised because of how amazing Zhao Yan's remarks were, but because Zhao Yan's usual expressions were very different from today's remarks. (To be continued......)
