The day after the third prince ascended the throne, he ordered the termination of the supply of labor to the White Lion Country, and demanded that the White Lion State's personnel in Casita repatriate the labor that had been sent to the White Lion Country. At this time, there has been no rain in the kingdom of Casita for a long time, and the fields have not been harvested, and the order of the third prince is undoubtedly forcing those low-level people to death, so the people are full of complaints. However, the third prince had to do this, because the reason he assassinated the original fourth prince was that the fourth prince sent the people to another country.

However, although the people were not happy, the powerful and wealthy elites were very supportive. The reason is very simple, the poor can't grow land and can't go abroad, so they can only work for them, so they can't exploit as much as they want? As for how many people can't afford to eat and starve to death, what does it matter to them? Anyway, they must have a way to ensure that they will not starve to death. If they keep this way of living, who wants to be exploited by them? It must be known that the cost of the food they get will definitely be much higher than that of the official organization of the White Lion State, and it is impossible to offer the same price to the workers.

With the support of these magnates, the third prince was also emboldened, and directly pointed at the nose of the representative of the Chamber of Commerce in the post house and scolded him.

The representative of this chamber of commerce was also helpless, the king changed all of a sudden, and the direction of the wind reversed in an instant, what could he do? I had no choice but to send the news back to the White Lion Country urgently, and at the same time suspend the registration of laborers, waiting for an order from the headquarters.

It's just that he didn't know that the big boss of the Chamber of Commerce knew the news before him and had already started to act.

In a thatched hut outside King Casita's city, the Star Queen handed a glass test tube to Qi Tao and said, "This is the genetic sample of the Four Princes, my current body does not have the ability of the Zerg Queen, and I cannot create a Zerg puppet." You give this sample to Star Pupil and ask her to use this genetic sample as a model to produce a puppet to bring back. Go and go back. ”

Qi Tao put away the test tube and nodded: "Okay, Sister Xing." ”

The actual age of the Star Queen is older than everyone else in the storm, and it is not surprising to call her sister, since Luo Han began to call her Xing directly, others have tacitly accepted her name as Xing, and she has never mentioned her real name again.

After Qi Tao left, the Star Queen's face began to squirm and deform, and her figure became tall and mighty, and she soon became the appearance of the fourth prince. This is the original function of this treasure where she lives, and it can change its appearance as she wishes.

Immediately, the Star Queen took out a chest from under the tattered wooden table, took out a black cloak, wrapped it around her body, and left the place.

Regaining the throne is not just a matter of showing up as the fourth prince, and now many powerful generals have fallen to the third prince, and even if the fourth prince appears, he will become an undesirable object. However, the fourth prince has his own forces during his reign after all, and what the Star Queen has to do is to integrate a force first and wait for support from the White Lion Kingdom.

When the news reached the White Lion Country, Luo Han was living a miserable life in the cave mansion with three curses a day. Although the third prince suddenly usurped power and abolished labor cooperation, Luo Han was not very angry, because the support of Casita's magnates made Luo Han see greater benefits.

After the king knew about this, he was naturally anxious to discuss it with Luo Han, the actual leader of the Merchants Association, after all, the royal family also had great interests in this route, and he was not willing to give it up easily. Luo Han has the cheat of the team channel, came to the manor in advance, asked the puppet to pretend to be sick, and then left a letter in the manor. When the envoy arrived, the puppet handed the letter to the envoy, and asked Jade Tilt City to follow the envoy back to the royal capital.

In the letter, Luo Han recommended that Jade Fall City lead a cavalry to the Kingdom of Casita to deal with the matter in his place. The king was surprised, but when Jade Allure showed off his martial arts, the king agreed. The situation of Jade Falling City is the same as Luo Han, as long as you don't use True Yuan, there is no problem at all to act as a general, Luo Han has already told her the general plan, as for how to operate it, Luo Han believes that with the previous record of Jade Falling City, there is no need to worry about it at all.

The female generals often attract criticism, but Jade Fall City has the support of the soldiers. The cavalry that the king gave her was equipped with the war horses of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and the knights were all composed of veterans brought to the Western Regions by Luo Han, and the generals were all raised by Luo Han, and they would never go against Luo Han's wife. However, Jade Fall City didn't bring much, and only led five hundred horsemen, one person and three times the fastest speed to rush to the Casita Kingdom.

In the Casita Palace, the third prince was convening the ministers to discuss the matter, and a guard suddenly rushed into the main hall and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the first king suddenly appeared in the White Lion Country Chamber of Commerce and issued a document to crusade...... Defeat ......"

The third prince was shocked: "You mean the fourth brother?" How can it be? He's dead. ”

The guard lowered his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know if it's true or not, but five generals have already responded and led troops to occupy the east of the city." The White Lion Chamber of Commerce is collecting young and strong people with grain, and the momentum is grand. ”

Another prince in the main hall said hurriedly: "Third brother, how is this good?" ”

The third prince thought for a moment and said, "What are you panicking about? Now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and most of the powerful ministers support the widows, and the widows don't believe that the fourth child can turn the sky upside down. Where is the left general and the right general? ”

The two generals came out of the ranks, and the third prince said: "Immediately gather troops and horses to crusade against the traitors who pretend to be the king." ”

"The minister commands."

A few hours later, the third prince and the fourth prince, pretended to be the Star Queen, met on a street east of the city.

The third prince looked at the Star Queen from a distance and was greatly surprised. The generals under his command looked left and right, hesitating, after all, the fourth prince was the rightful king.

"What is the crime of daring to rebel against the thief and daring to pretend to be the royal family and want to rebel?" At this time, the third prince could only bite the bullet and put a big hat on the other party first.

The Star Queen said loudly in the voice of the fourth prince: "Third brother, the widow treats you and the brothers well. You are so ruthless, you sent assassins to assassinate the widow for the sake of the throne. If it weren't for the fact that the widow was aware of it, he escaped with a stand-in, and he would have gone to see his father at this moment. Now that you have usurped the throne, why do you want to cut off your own retreat, disregard the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in the kingdom, and cut off cooperation with the White Lion Kingdom? Do you know how many people in today's kingdom will starve to death without the food of the White Lion Kingdom? ”

The third prince avoided the important and said lightly: "What nonsense! The fourth brother is in a foreign country, ignoring the foundation of his ancestors, and the widow has killed him. You are just a fake person, dare to talk about national policies? ”

The Star Queen did not distinguish with him, looked at the soldiers with confused faces, and said loudly, "People, open your eyes and look at the day. There has been no rain for several months, there has been no harvest in the fields, and the price of grain in the market has skyrocketed tenfold, and there is still no market. You may not know that there is no grain in the treasury for a long time, and your food and salary are all exchanged for by widows from the White Lion Chamber of Commerce. You still have food, think about your family, relatives, friends, those people who have not served as soldiers, they have used up all their money, and they live on the food that their relatives who work in the White Lion Country bring back through the Chamber of Commerce every month, and cut off this road, don't you let them die? Do you want your relatives and friends to die of despair in thirst and hunger? Do you want to work for this tyrant who murdered his brother and was destined to kill thousands of his countrymen? Do you want to be de-armored after a food shortage, and then follow in the footsteps of your fellow citizens who starved to death? ”

The Star Queen's words hit the key point of these soldiers, they don't care about the dignity of the kingdom, they only care about whether they and the people around them can survive. In fact, after being broken by the Imperial Army, the number of newly formed troops was not large, and the treatment was much less than before, everyone knew the situation of the kingdom, it could not support too many troops at all, and without sufficient external support, it was a matter of time before it was disarmed.

Seeing that the soldiers were talking a lot, the third prince knew that the situation must be stabilized, so he said loudly: "Soldiers, don't listen to the nonsense of this traitor. The widow has already said that the rich people of the kingdom will purchase food from the goshawk kingdom, and there is no shortage of food at all. The trafficking of his own people to other nations is a heinous and unforgivable atrocity. ”

"Huh, huh?" The Star Queen laughed mockingly, clapped her hands, and the soldiers behind her got out of the way, and the two generals each walked out with a column of cavalry.

When the third prince saw those tall war horses, he instantly recalled the fear of being dominated, which was the mount of the imperial army that had broken through the kingdom of Casita!

"The White Lion Kingdom is in a city of jade, and he led five hundred elite horsemen to help His Majesty quell the rebellion."

"The Goshawk Kingdom Ma Sheke, led five hundred elite horsemen to help His Majesty quell the rebellion."

The Star Queen turned around on horseback and arched her hand: "General Jade General Ma, it's hard work." ”

Yu Chengcheng's long hair was tied into a ponytail, his expression was cold and arrogant, and he arched his hand heroically and said: "This matter should have been brought forward by my husband, but my husband was sick, so he had to lead the troops to help with the concubine." ”

General Ma said with a smile: "General Hanfeng is powerful in the world, and General Jade is also a woman who does not let his eyebrows, just a chaotic minister and a thief, what is the way?" ”

Yu Chengcheng said: "General Ma has a good reputation, and the husband often mentions that General Ma of the Goshawk Kingdom is a veteran of a hundred battles, and he is invincible in all battles. ”

The two were patting each other on the back here, but the third prince blew up here. The original situation was that the third prince had more than 3,000 people on hand, and the fourth prince's camp only had more than 1,000 soldiers and 300 chamber guards plus 1,000 temporarily recruited young men, but suddenly joined a thousand cavalry, and the strength was already balanced. What's more, these armies of the Casita Kingdom were all formed after the war, and the initial counterinsurgency was still done by Luo Han's army at the beginning, and the only combat experience they had was just fighting bandits and rogues, how could their combat effectiveness be compared with the cavalry of the two kingdoms. The most important thing is that the Goshawk Kingdom sent an army to help the fourth prince in the war, which means that what the third prince said about purchasing food from the Goshawk Kingdom is simply unrealistic! This is undoubtedly a fatal blow.

Seeing that the mental battle had already had a certain effect, Yu Chengcheng raised his hand and said loudly: "Fellow warriors of Casita, you must also know that the White Lion Chamber of Commerce was created by my husband. The concubine doesn't say anything else, but only promises to you in the name of my husband, whoever abandons the darkness and turns to the light will be rewarded with five grains, and those who kill the rebel will be rewarded with grain. ”

When the words fell, many soldiers unconsciously clenched their weapons. The Tang system was ten buckets, equivalent to two or three months' rations for an adult, and in such a place, grain was more attractive than gold and silver treasures.

"We want food!" Suddenly, a squad leader raised his spear and shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the same team next to him immediately followed.

"We want food!"

"We want food!"

The third prince was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw!" Remove! Evacuate! ”

The third prince and the ministers hurriedly retreated, and some of the soldiers who were still hesitating saw this, so they simply joined in the shout, and only the generals' personal soldiers resolutely retreated with their masters.

Yu Chengcheng muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity, they are all very good labor." ”

General Ma on the side laughed softly: "You have to kill some people before you can go back and explain." ”

"yes." Yu Chengcheng raised his right hand, and General Ma also raised his right hand.

"Whoever holds a weapon will be killed!"

A thousand cavalry suddenly activated, passed the soldiers who had discarded their weapons in a panic, and chased after the fleeing third prince and others.

It was a special day for the people of the Kingdom. On this day, the iron horsemen from the two kingdoms, with the tacit consent of the king who had risen from the dead, crushed the royal city.

According to a list, Jade Dumping City and General Ma slaughtered the powerful and rich people in the entire royal city. The men were beheaded, the young women were reduced to real slaves, and the young children and women were imprisoned by the men of the four princes. The carriage of the White Lion Chamber of Commerce was parked outside, boxes of gold and silver treasures were loaded onto the carriage, women were put in cages, and corpses were thrown onto the carts waiting to be buried in the ground for fertilizer.

However, this kind of behavior was not disgusted by the people, who did not care about the lives of these powerful and rich people, they were more concerned about how many days of rations they could receive in the relief activities held by the White Lion Chamber of Commerce when the granary was suddenly opened.

With the help of the armies of the two kingdoms, the Star Queen wiped out all the people who had supported the four princes, and even those who had not explicitly supported but had an unclear attitude would be on this list because of their rich family wealth. Evidence is never needed for coups and rebellions. Perhaps at this time, the third prince who was on death row understood why the goshawk kingdom sent troops to help the fourth prince, and the four princes used their family property in exchange for the two kingdoms' troops, as well as a large amount of grain of low value. After all, he miscalculated the ruthlessness of the "Four Princes", and after being murdered and seizing the throne, it was worth it even if he sold half of the kingdom to regain the throne.

At this moment, the rich people outside the royal city were glad that they had not had time to stand in line and the matter was over, otherwise their names would probably be on the legendary list of exterminations.

The Zerg puppet made by Star Pupil based on the genetic samples of the Four Princes quietly arrived and took over from the Star Queen. In the past, the four princes were just people whose brains were controlled by insects, and they still retained human emotions, but now this "four princes" has all the memories of the four princes before they died, but they have no humanity anymore, and they are purely a tool to carry out the orders of the star pupil. There is no doubt that under its leadership, this country will continue to convey benefits to Luo Han.
