Chapter 133: There is no good feast
The hearts of the powerful families in the north are so comfortable, since the rise of the alliance in the north, their lives are not as good as day by day, and even their own slaves can't be scolded at will, can you imagine that the slave who was originally bought with a gold coin was actually bought back by a copper coin under the mandatory requirements of the alliance?
What does it mean to liberate labor? It's a big joke in the world, so many years in the north has formed a subtle rule, of course, this rule is formed under the tacit understanding of these big families, but the strength of the alliance has completely broken the balance between the various families.
Either take refuge in the alliance and abide by the new rules with peace of mind, or just cower honestly and wait for the alliance to consume you little by little, the alliance is too powerful, and many people have found it difficult to accept the fact that the alliance is strong so far, such a powerful force should not and cannot rise in such a corner of the north.
Many heroes who had to recognize the reality honestly accepted the alliance's recruitment, originally thinking that they could barely keep their position in this way, but the truth soon gave them a big slap, they are not the slightest difference in treatment between them in the alliance and those ordinary mud legs, and they can't even decide the life and death of an ordinary person.
Although these things made them feel that their lives were a little sad, they were not to the point where they couldn't stand it, what really made them unbearable was the alliance's defense against them, under Guan Yun's hints, not to mention the alliance's military system, that is, the political system was blatantly rejecting the black hand that these families had reached.
In other words, Guan Yun is depriving them of their power, and those places where their family has taken root for generations are undergoing large-scale blood exchanges, and the Haqing soul masters who originally belonged to the family have been forcibly taken away by the alliance, according to the new regulations of the Northern Alliance, all soul masters above level fifty who have not reported in the alliance will be counted as treason.
Originally, the only thing that could give these families some comfort was money, at least a large part of the economic lifeline of the northern realm was still in their hands, although they were not willing to use this economic lifeline to threaten Guan Yun, after all, once the economy collapsed, no one would be happy, but the alliance then directly forced them into a desperate situation.
For those ordinary people who can't support themselves, the alliance actually directly provides jobs for them to put into production, and the pay for living is far more than under them, on the other hand, Zhang Tingzheng strongly encourages them to trade, but only one thing, no unofficial caravans are allowed to leave the north.
This also completely cut off the possibility of them trading with Tiandou and Xingluo, which also means that their last influence is being deprived, and all the heroes can't sit still at this moment, and they begin to get together to discuss solutions to the current predicament.
How to fight for their voice in the alliance?
The military did not dare to get involved, who didn't know that those ten heroes in the north were pulled up by Guan Yun, and with the domineering nature of that head, if they dared to intervene in the military power, those big knives would be put on their necks the next day.
So they thought of Xiao Liaoshan, the speaker in the political system, a high-ranking and powerful existence, but it is undeniable that he is definitely one of the top people in the alliance, and the most important thing is that he was originally the leader of Guan Yun to guide the various families.
Although Xiao Liaoshan represents Guan Yun, this does not mean that they cannot win his attitude, and in their eyes, they really don't want much, just a little right to speak, but how to convert this right to speak into real power is another matter.
Xiao Liaoshan actually more or less understood the purpose of these family patriarchs after a few entertainments, which is nothing more than to let himself hold a little power in his hands, so that he can live a peaceful life. You must know that the alliance has only been established for a year, and its political system is far from complete.
The only thing Xiao Liaoshan wanted to be bad about was Guan Yun's tolerance for these families. It is true that it is not a great deal to give a little power to these families, and it is even difficult for them to shake the foundation of the alliance, but Guan Yun is still unwilling, and he is not willing to give them the slightest power, so he does not hesitate to use a Xiao family to warn them.
That night, the patriarchs of many families received invitations to Xiao Liaoshan's banquet, and when they arrived at the banquet, they even saw Xiao Liaoshan's son Xiao Changge, a promising young man who was currently serving as the deputy marshal of the Wudang Army, greeting them with a smile on his face, and he was extremely enthusiastic.
At the banquet, before these family patriarchs took the opportunity to speak and hint, Xiao Liaoshan actually took the initiative to mention this matter for the first time, and also actively asked them where they planned to arrange the children of the clan, these patriarchs were shocked, and immediately looked at Xiao Changge who was sitting behind Xiao Liaoshan, and saw that he was still smiling, as if he was quite happy about it.
Some people think it's a trap, but more people think it's the door of power beckoning to them, and the obsession with power finally overcomes their own reason, and from the first person to say what he wants, there is an endless stream of voices for a while, and I don't know that someone is secretly recording everything that happened in this feast.
It seems that he was really dazzled by power, and someone actually crossed Xiao Liaoshan directly and joked to Xiao Changge.
"It would be great if I could work under Vice Marshal Xiao."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many families who were barely keeping calm suddenly changed, they had said in advance that they would only participate in politics and not the army, so as not to be known by Guan Yun and cause inevitable consequences, is this person in front of him really crazy?
Before they could figure out how to figure out this unintentional remark, Xiao Changge replied to the speaker with a smile on his face: "I really can't be the master without being an army, the Zhang family is mainly not disgusted, and I can still find a way to arrange a position of commander." ”
"Commander?!"
Hearing this, someone couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed, that is the position of commander, the original six commanders last year have all become the top ten in the northern realm without exception, and they can be in charge of 10,000 horses, and they are equipped with a pure gold exclusive to the commander, and they can have the strength of the soul saint in an instant.
Everyone was red-eyed, and their minds didn't even think about the truth of this matter, it was the position of commander, but as long as they could get this position, the power in their hands would be enough to directly multiply it by several times, and even to some extent they could have a semi-private army of 10,000 people in an instant, as long as they planned well.
It's a pity that these guys whose brains are squeezed by the door don't have time to think, does Xiao Changge really have the qualifications of an absolute leader? If it was a small hundred generals, it might really be what he said, but it rose to the appointment of the commander, that is, the appointment of Zhao Yuan, the real commander of the army, who did not dare to decide privately.
After Zhao Yuan nodded and approved, this appointment request would be investigated by the Assassin Palace, and sent to Guan Yun along with a complete information of the appointee, and finally after Guan Yun's approval, the appointment letter would be re-issued to the army, and this person would become the commander.
Many of these links are by no means something that one of his deputy marshals can operate, these people will not let them make such an obvious mistake if they have a little understanding of the army, and this person who proposed to insert people into the army was secretly written down by Xiao Changge.
