Chapter 150: The True Intention Behind the Big Wedding

During the Spring Festival of the 11th year of the Longhua calendar, Xu Bin, the most beloved governor of Gannan military and civilian, finally held a grand wedding ceremony on this day. After enjoying a peaceful Spring Festival, the military and civilians of the entire Gannan Province received the good news that the military governments in various places ordered the governor to have a three-day holiday for his wedding.

Compared with when he took office at the beginning of the year, Xu Bin, who has now begun to take on the appearance of the governor, this wedding was also officially announced with the consent of Bai Mulan, who had long wanted to be his woman. More importantly, after this wedding, Xu Bin's Xu Jiajun, who has been training for two years, will once again launch a war against the Quartet.

This can be regarded as giving the people of Gannan a chance to enjoy the relaxation of zuihou before the war. As soon as the war broke out, Gannan would fall under the attention of all parties, whether it was a worker, peasant or a soldier, they would all contribute their own liliang to the further expansion of the territory of the Xu Jiajun.

Two years is not a long time, but it is not a short time. But in this short period of two years, Xu Bin formed ten main divisions of 15,000 people, and at the same time there were no less than 300,000 elite militiamen. This combat power can be said to far exceed the outside world's understanding of Gannan.

In addition to the rapid growth of the army's strength, Gannan's economy has also been rapidly improved. From the beginning of the establishment of Gannan Bank, the capital of Longyang was less than 50 million. Up to now, Gannan Bank has been opened in various counties in Gannan, and the amount of capital has exceeded 500 million Longyang. This is almost a tenfold increase in assets, which is enough to prove that the people of Gannan still have a lot of money in hand today.

In the past, he had always felt that Xu Bin had invested a large amount of money in the economic construction of Gannan, and some of the governors of Lindao, who had outweighed the losses, saw a caravan in Gannan and began to encroach on their market. Only then did they realize that the wealth of the people and the army on their territory was gathering little by little in the direction of Gannan Province.

Even some foreign companies who are ready to boycott. In the face of these goods, the price is much lower than theirs, but the quality is not inferior to theirs. In the face of opposition from the common people and the military and civilians, they could only watch their market share being pursued and occupied by Gannan's caravans little by little.

If the power of the local military government is used to coerce, it will attract the retaliation of Xu Jiajun behind these chambers of commerce. This kind of retaliation is something they simply cannot afford. Because, once it is found that they are using their power to suppress the Gannan caravan of fair competition, then maybe they will be silently wiped out in a remote place that day.

No one guessed that it was Xu Jiajun's handiwork, but he couldn't produce evidence and could only let Xu Jiajun go free. At least for two years, the character of this adult governor, shown. It's the same as it was back then. You can't provoke, and once you provoke, you will be punished.

It's just that in the face of the Chamber of Commerce established by Xu Bin, while constantly encroaching on their market share, those businessmen from various countries who do business in Gannan. Every year, it brings tens of millions or more of income to countries, and it is these revenues. Let other foreign businessmen who originally sought pressure from various countries have no way to move their own countries to put pressure on Xu Bin.

Moreover. In the absence of any evidence to prove it. The killing of those foreign businessmen was due to Xu Bin's handiwork, and they were unwilling to give up this rich man. After all, the economic situation in various countries is not optimistic, and the profits made from Xu Bin's Gannan every year are enough to relieve them of a lot of domestic pressure.

Even the people of the United States who were refused by Xu Bin to recognize the agreement signed by the previous governor are now in Gannan after the Eagle Kingdom. The largest importer of goods. They can get nearly 100 million Longyang funds from the Gannan Provincial Military Government every year. For the people of the United States, this money undoubtedly exceeds the total income of other Longhua countries.

It is undoubtedly very irrational to offend such a big donor. Moreover. As their secret struggle with the Eagle Country intensifies, the Eagle Country people are eager to seize their market share in Gannan. Therefore, with the support of these two big countries that spoke for Xu Bin, other countries naturally did not dare to suppress Gannan at will. Otherwise, these two big men would not be able to eat and walk around.

Many people feel that Xu Bin, the governor, is almost worthy of the admiration of these border governors in dealing with the relations between the countries and Shijie. Nowadays, many provincial governments in Longhua have Jianghai ports, and these tariffs are almost all mortgaged to various countries to obtain aid.

But in Gannan Province, the cargo throughput of their ports has far exceeded the cargo throughput of some large ports in Longhua. This is like a tariff port that has created a golden rooster, and now all the tax rights are controlled by Xu Bin in the hands of the military government. These foreigners, who are very fond of asking for such tariffs as collateral, can only watch as this large amount of tariffs flows into the pockets of the military government led by Xu Bin.

If you have been to Gannan two years ago, you will be surprised to find that you are entering Gannan Province at this time. Nowadays, there are several large and small factories in the large and small counties of Gannan. In the past, the common people who could only rely on the field to dig food are now in the idle time. You can always find a job that earns money to support your family.

Even if they can't get into the factories, the military governments in the cities will organize the construction of roads or some canals. In short, the junta will do everything possible to provide some employment opportunities for these people who plan to earn more money every year. Even the revolutionary army that has always occupied the land of the two provinces of Gannan Province, and now almost the vast majority of the people of Gannan in the land of the two provinces have moved to the area ruled by the Xu Jiajun.

So much so that they originally hoped that these two governments would be able to bring them some taxes for the revolutionary army. Zuihou and Xu Jiajun privately reached an agreement to pay a price of five million dragon oceans for one house. The troops stationed in the two provinces of Gannan were withdrawn to Nanbin Road, so that today's Gannan has truly become a holy place of peach and earth that the people of the surrounding provinces yearn for.

The Gannan military government has money, which is not an uncommon thing in Longhua. The people of Gannan Province live a prosperous life, and it is not uncommon in the hearts of the people of the surrounding provinces. It's just that the Gannan Provincial Junta has always taken a defensive posture, and there has never been a single cross-border provocation from beginning to end.

On the contrary, as long as the governors of the neighboring provinces are willing to make friends with sincerity, they can get a lot of benefits from the hands of Gannan Province. At least the revolutionary army, which has now occupied the three lands, is the most typical representative of it.

They newly formed a revolutionary army stationed in southern Fujian, and a large part of the weapons equipped were sold to them by the Xu Jiajun, and the price was much cheaper than that provided by the foreigners. So much so that the Sun Kingdom, the master behind the scenes of the revolutionary army, is also extremely helpless when the revolutionary army begins to show signs of breaking away from their control.

After all, it is true that they provided financial assistance to the revolutionary army, but the revolutionary army also provided collateral. Now people don't want the weapons and equipment they sell, and instead buy Xu Jiajun and start mass production of cheap standard rifles, and they can't force the revolutionary army not to buy them. If this is done, it will surely attract a backlash from many high-ranking members of the revolutionary army.

After knowing that the strength of the Xu Jiajun was not easy to provoke, the revolutionary army also tentatively marched into Caiyun Road and Southwest Road in the past two years, but in the end, they were all waiting for an opportunity because the opponent was desperate to the end and was unable to shrink the edge of the attack.

In addition to the revolutionary army from time to time to launch wars against the surrounding provinces, the stalemate of the Central Plains for a year, after the coalition army and the Northern Yi army both paid more than 100,000 troops, finally made peace. Return to their previous respective defense zones, restore their strength and wait for the opportunity to fight again.

In short, there is no war in Longhua today, but small battles often occur. This chaotic situation has also invisibly fueled some of the aggressive ambitions of Longhua.

After realizing the conspiracy of peaceful evolution of Longhua, as the revolutionary army became stronger, they gradually squeezed out Liliang in the army. In the name of supporting the Restoration Army, he embezzled the Sun Country of Changbai Road in Longhua Kingdom. Now they are accumulating savings on the border between Changbai Road and the Northern Yi Army, and from time to time let them support and control the Changbai Army, cross the border to provoke the Northern Yi Army.

This is also the reason why the coalition forces, which have been weakened a lot, proposed a ceasefire agreement, and the Northern Army agreed to it, and did not fall into the trap for them. As for such a thing as aggression, even if it has the best relationship with the Sun Country, God will not dare to go against the will of the people of the whole country and boost the momentum of the Sun Country.

Therefore, after befriending Xu Jiajun, he gradually increased his vigilance against the Sun Kingdom. It's just that what he doesn't know is that it is his kind of vigilance that makes the Sun Country realize that there may not be much hope for the peaceful evolution of such a big Longhua Country. In the end, they wanted to rule this huge eastern power, and they could only devour it one bite at a time. Finally complete the ambition to control and enslave this great power in the East!

He also began to expand the intelligence department of the Xu family army to the entire Longhua country, and even the Beiyi border, which he had been guarding against, now has the existence of the intelligence department of the Xu family army. Tian Youliang, who was rescued by Xu Bin back then, has now become the Minister of Intelligence whom Xu Bin regards as a confidant. He has the intelligence network of Xu Jiajun scattered throughout the country, and is also regarded by various countries as one of the high-level leaders of Xu Jiajun that must be guarded against.

Xu Bin's wedding this time, the intelligence minister who often wanders in the dark, is naturally the one who must come back. And Xu Bin also plans to take advantage of this time, and all the senior military and political officials of the Xu family will gather in the Hero City. Secretly convene a war arrangement against the Gannan neighborhood, so that once the attack is launched, it will have the leading advantage.

He also knows very well that if you want to build a strong army, you can't build it behind closed doors. Only after being tempered by war again and again, these carefully selected elite soldiers under his command. It is possible to become the real confidence of him to compete for Longhua in the future.

So much so that when the governors of various provinces received Xu Bin's wedding and would send a delegation to congratulate him, they did not know that Xu Bin had privately prepared for the upcoming battle. Just wait for the wedding to end, and the Xu family army will once again show a powerful attack power that shocks the surrounding governors. At the same time, Xu Bin will also officially join the practice of fighting for hegemony and unifying Longhua. This is the signal he will release to the people and warlords of Longhua in this war!
