After all, the decision made by Liu Sanyi is unfavorable to Guangyuan and the overseas Chinese faction, the war broke out between Guangyuan Kingdom, which is too much pressure for Foothill City and Picheng, as for these Skywalkers in Black Iron City and Huajin City, most of them have followed Liu Sanyi to the present, where will they assassinate Liu Sanyi, even if they are dissatisfied, but after all, everyone has spent hundreds of years together, even if there are any contradictions, it is more necessary to use follow-up means to make transactions in secret, and will not use such drastic means.

It is impossible to use such a thing as assassination among the people of Black Iron City, but when Shu Han organized the investigation, he naturally counted these people among them, after all, who knows what these people think now, no matter how deep the friendship is, it will gradually change under the change of the background of the times, not to mention that the relationship between everyone itself is not very friendly.

And now that the Black Iron City is developing rapidly, the relationship between various families is getting worse and worse, Liu Sanyi is even more arbitrary after mastering a large number of troops, in many things, especially when it comes to military matters, it is even more so, when the army used to march and fight, he would always ask other people, and then make arrangements, but as Liu Sanyi got older and older, and after more and more merits, he gradually began to be stubborn and self-serving, and even some of the opinions given by Shu Han were often ignored. Not to mention the advice of these families.

This naturally caused the dissatisfaction of these Black Iron City families, after all, this army is also the army of everyone in Black Iron City, not raised by Liu Sanyi himself, but raised by each family, but Liu Sanyi has outstanding military command, so he was entrusted to manage the army, but this army is shared by the families, but with Liu Sanyi's prestige, the opportunities for the families to meddle in the internal affairs of the army are getting smaller and smaller, and they will even be scolded by Liu Sanyi.

This kind of thing was not there before, after all, everyone may have a big or small strength with each other, but the status of each other is equal, even if there is any contradiction, it will be resolved in private, and there will be almost no bad words against each other, but now Liu Sanyi often abuses these Skywalkers who are equal to him, which naturally has an indescribable sense of insult for them, who have huge power in themselves, and as the territory of Black Iron City is getting bigger and bigger, Liu Sanyi has more and more troops in his hands, More families want to put their hands in the army, but Liu Sanyi is like a mountain, blocking the sight of all those who spy on the army, which naturally causes many people to be dissatisfied.

However, in this decision-making, Liu Sanyi was obviously on the side of these Black Iron City people, and chose to form an alliance with the Holy Alliance, and the safety of Black Iron City was naturally safe, so Shu Han did not think that these Black Iron City people would assassinate Liu Sanyi at this time, for them, this did not have any benefit in itself, so the main direction of the investigation was the overseas Chinese faction represented by Guangyuan Kingdom and Foothill City.

The investigation is not difficult, after all, within the sphere of influence of Black Iron City, the population flow is very strictly managed, in addition to the army and nobles can move, only merchants can flow, the scale of the floating population is very small, and it has become relatively easy to investigate naturally, under the investigation of Shu Han's mobilization of the entire Black Iron City, it was quickly found that it was a force among the overseas Chinese faction who did it, and they chose to assassinate Liu Sanyi in order to change the country's policy. Of course, because Liu Sanyi's death had been pinned on the Holy Alliance before, it was naturally impossible to use this excuse to deal with this matter at this time, so Shu Han made up some reasons to completely destroy this force in the name of treason.

The other forces of the overseas Chinese faction had tried to save it, but firstly, Shu Han had already fulfilled their wishes, and changed the original combat target from Guangyuan Kingdom to the Holy Alliance, and secondly, Shu Han's movements were very fast, and after giving the order, he immediately contacted the teams in Foothill City and Picheng by telegram, and all the personnel involved in the operation were all controlled in just two hours, and they were not given much time at all, so in the end there was no trouble.

And these people were naturally sent to the Liu family and handed over to Liu Zedong to deal with, which can be regarded as compensation for Liu Zedong, how Liu Zedong deals with these people, that is not something that Shu Han can control, what he needs to face now is these families in Black Iron City, the original established combat policy is to start a war with Guangyuan Kingdom, which is naturally a good thing for Black Iron City, but now, they have to change their combat goals and start a war against the Holy Alliance, which is naturally unacceptable to them.

The low-level civilians may believe that Liu Sanyi's death is related to the Holy Alliance, but these families in Black Iron City obviously know that this is not so simple at all, not to mention that Liu Zedong has been killing all sides in his mansion in the past few days, and all families also know something, how can they easily believe what Shu Han did, so they naturally will not let Shu Han go, and ask him to change his policy again and position Guangyuan Country as the target of the war.

Shu Han is naturally unwilling, standing in the interests of the entire Black Iron City forces, it is undoubtedly the best to start a war with the Holy Alliance, after all, the natural danger is in his own hands, as long as he breaks through the line of Asakusa City, he can quickly occupy a large area of plains that originally belonged to Yangcheng, and then the Yangtze River natural insurance, after this period of hard work, the manufacture of ironclad ships has gradually improved, I believe that it will not take long to create a ship that can travel in the Tamsui River, and when the time comes, it will not be so difficult to control the Yangtze River natural insurance, Moreover, the territory of the Holy Alliance is a vast plain, which is relatively more suitable for combat, especially artillery combat, which will undoubtedly give full play to the advantages of Black Iron City.

And in the war with Guangyuan Kingdom, the advantages of Black Iron City will be gone, the other party's borders, there are hills and dirt slopes everywhere, artillery can not be carried at all, and then you can only rely on muskets to fight, and the opponent's city is very strong, there are a large number of city walls to defend, under the premise of no artillery, it is difficult to win the attack, and fighting in the mountains and forests, Black Iron City has relatively little experience, so no matter what, you should start a war with the Holy Alliance.

In this regard, Shu Han has an absolute goal, so he will not change this, but how to persuade these old diehards in Black Iron City is indeed a very difficult thing, but in the end, it is nothing more than threats and temptations, now that Liu Sanyi has died, the Liu family has officially withdrawn from the ruling circle of the army, and the families within the Black Iron City have pushed Shu Han to the ruling position, naturally the army is listening to him now, although there are many families in the army, but at the same time, there are also many Shu Han's own people, At the same time, there are some remnants of the Liu family, these people are all professional soldiers, they know very well, who to fight with is the best, unlike those children of the family, who only serve the family, and in terms of numbers, it is obvious that Shu Han's people and the traditional soldiers in the army occupy the majority, so the attitude of the army is obvious, that is, to support Shu Han's decision, and Hua Jincheng and the overseas Chinese faction, needless to say, themselves firmly hope to go to war with the Holy Alliance.

Among the four forces, the three parties have unified their opinions, only the Black Iron City itself is left, which is naturally difficult to support alone, and under this bright threat, it is Shu Han's lure strategy, compared to the rugged terrain in the Guangyuan Kingdom, the Holy Alliance is flat and densely populated, as long as it is occupied, it will have a large amount of land, and compared to the Guangyuan Kingdom, the Black Iron City has a lot of experience in the plain station, compared to the war with the Guangyuan Kingdom, the Holy Alliance is a better battlefield, and there are two natural hazards in the first line of Asakusa City and the first line of the Yangtze River, It is enough to ensure the safety of the Black Iron City, and the other is that the Holy Alliance has fertile land and a large population, as long as the victory is over, the families of the Black Iron City can get a lot of land, and at the same time they can also obtain a lot of wealth, as well as that gold mine, Shu Han promised that as long as the gold mine is captured, all the old families of the Black Iron City will be allowed to obtain the ownership of the gold mine, and they will always enjoy it from now on and will never be deprived, which is undoubtedly a huge price of benefits, in addition to a series of things, For example, families are allowed to build their own private armies, and so on.

Before that, the families of Black Iron City had private armies, but as Liu Sanyi's strength gradually expanded, he obviously didn't want these families to have more troops, which was not good for the whole country, and it was not good for Liu Sanyi, it was a bad thing for both public and private.

After all, after the families have an army, it will be a huge threat to Liu Sanyi, this is selfish, as for Yu Gong, it is these families who form an army, which is bound to pull away a large number of excellent soldiers, thereby weakening the country's main combat force, which is not a good thing for the stability of the country, so after the victory in the battle with Foothill City and Picheng, Shu Han made it mandatory that the private army of all families cannot exceed fifty people, so that the entire Black Iron City sphere of influence, The Wu Zhangs of all the families together are only a thousand people, and they do not pose any threat to the country.

Compared with Liu Sanyi's strength, Shu Han obviously does not have the ability to suppress these families, so even if Shu Han doesn't say it, these people will also build their own arms, it is better to give them directly at this moment, and it can be regarded as establishing a legitimacy for them to form an army in the future, after all, Shu Han is not Liu Sanyi, compared to Liu Sanyi's prestige, Shu Han is far behind, and it is impossible to suppress all the families, so it is undoubtedly good for everyone to take a step back, under such negotiations, In the end, the families of Black Iron City also reluctantly agreed with Shu Han's idea, and the opinions of the entire Black Iron City to fight against the Holy Alliance were finally unified at this moment.

After that, things will be much easier, with the consent of opinions, the movement of the army is also immediately frequent, and the next day, the Black Iron City Conference was held, at the meeting, two documents were formally adopted, the first is to establish an alliance with the Guangyuan State, and the second thing is to officially appoint Shu Han as the consul, in charge of the military and political power of the Black Iron City, the time is two years, and two years later, the selection will be carried out again.

And in the past two years, Shu Han is the rightful commander of the entire Black Iron City, and he can also become the head of state, from a slave to the point where he is now, which is something that Shu Han did not expect, and it is also something that many people have never imagined, many civilians secretly regard Shu Han as the direction of their own efforts, as a result, Shu Han's prestige in the entire Black Iron City has become more high, and the families naturally do not want to see this scene, but now that the war is imminent, they naturally do not want to destroy the head of state established by their own hands, is also the pillar in people's hearts, so they can only swallow their anger, thinking that after the war is over, they will deal with Shu Han.

Compared with Liu Sanyi, the psychological pressure to deal with Shu Han is much smaller, firstly, Liu Sanyi is a big family and has a high prestige, while Shu Han is a flat-headed commoner, and there is no big force behind him, and secondly, no matter how powerful Shu Han is, he is just an ordinary person, not even Skywalker, in this era when Skywalker is king, no matter how powerful ordinary people are, they are just ruled, just like Shu Han, the ruling is only a temporary worker, only these Skywalkers in Black Iron City are the eternal rulers.

At the same time, Shu Han personally wrote a letter of apology to Guangyuan Guo in the name of Black Iron City, to express Black Iron City's mistakes and rudeness to Guangyuan Guo in the previous incident in which the delegation was killed, and promised to pay part of the loss fee to ensure the relationship between the two parties.

Guangyuanguo's side itself hopes to win over the Black Iron City, the relationship between the two sides was stiff before, and it is not what the two sides want to see, and now the Black Iron City takes the initiative to find a step for the two sides, even if the Guangyuan Kingdom side has opposing voices, but after all, the rulers of both sides are rational, and soon the purpose of the two sides was determined in the conversation with each other, and the alliance between Guangyuan and the Black Iron City was formally established.

In this matter, Shu Han is undoubtedly the biggest winner, not only changed the original strategy of Black Iron City, but also became the de facto ruler of Black Iron City in one fell swoop, although it is only two years, but it is enough for Shu Han, and the other is the control of the army, Shu Han at this moment, compared to him when he first came to this world, has changed dramatically, not only in terms of power and strategy is not inferior to these old foxes, but also knows how to find a more balanced path between reason and reality.

After determining the alliance between the two sides, the entire Black Iron City quickly threw itself into the preparation for the war, during which the Holy Alliance also tried to win over the Black Iron City, but obviously, this choice was the best choice for the Black Iron City and Guangyuan Kingdom, so it could not be changed at all, after trying, the Holy Alliance also gave up completely and began to prepare for war, and the same was true for Shu Han's side, and all parties entered a state of intense preparation.

The war is not so easy to start, the preparation of materials, transportation, road construction, army preparation, etc., it takes a lot of time, but no one will be one step behind, Shu Han took the lead in pushing a large number of troops in front of him, from the first line of Asakusa City directly into the bazaar that originally belonged to the Holy Alliance and the Black Iron City to occupy, and then quickly sent troops to control a large number of checkpoints belonging to the southern line of the Yangtze River, in order to ensure the safety of his side, and at the same time mobilized the troops of the foothills and the city to the front line of Asakusa City, leaving only 3,000 people to defend, while he led the 40,000 troops of Black Iron City and Joaquin City to Asakusa Castle.
