14.11 Troubled Times

The fall of Jingchuan silenced the mainland.

Taiyun's great martial arts at this time made the jade group in the middle of the Eastern Continent begin to panic.

Sesi, who had been allied with him for hundreds of years in the north, perished in these two years, and Jingchuan, who had been hostile to him for thousands of years in the south, was almost destroyed.

The courtiers of the Jade Qun were looking at their wolf-like allies with fearful eyes. At the same time, all parties are also calculating their own small abacus, and a series of infighting is still endless.

[October 3, 665 in the electrical calendar, at the boundary line of the southern rivers of Yuqun]

The Taiyun Seventh Water Patrol Regiment, which had just completed the encirclement and suppression of the Jingchuan Naval Army, passed through here and faced the Yuqun defensive fortress along the river.

More than 20 Taiyun's river gunboats raised their muzzles and fired a "salute" in unison at the soldiers who were watching from the original defensive position of Jingchuan in the Yuqun Kingdom.

and sent the victory information of Taiyun's conquest of Jingchuan.

Photo 2: A large number of Jingchuan soldiers walked into the prisoner of war camp in despair.

Photo 3: In the hall of the royal capital, the ministers of Jingchuan bow their heads and admit defeat in front of the generals in Taiyunrong.

Photo 4, Photo 5......

This series of photographs is by no means about sharing the fruits of victory with allies, but rather a show of power and even public intimidation.

The garrison general of Yuqun's defense line along the river was Cao Yue, a member of Yuqun's royal family, who was very calm and did not overdo it.

In the face of the provocation of Taiyun's fleet, he was very friendly and sent a few boatloads of fresh melons and fruits to Taiyun.

However, this kind of steady practice of holding the country has been found by some people in Yuqun.

Alas, there are those in politics who oppose for the sake of opposition, because it is in their own interest to oppose the other side.

Just on the second day, above the Yuqun court, many forces rebuked the general in charge of the border defense along the river that had been bought by Taiyun.

These people think in a high-sounding way: Cao Yue's servile face is not strong enough, let such a person be in charge of the border defense of the kingdom, I am afraid that the next time Taiyun will attack, he will give up the defense line to Taiyun!

……

Are these politicians stupid? It's not even clear what the consequences of stimulating Taiyun at this time are?

No! These politicians are not stupid at all, they just have no discipline. They just wanted to find an excuse to usurp the army in the hands of the royal family.

As for what to do with the army now? Of course, it is to be a political bargaining chip, and when Taiyun fights, he can protect the family from military disasters, and he can sell the country and benefit from retreating.

The family comes first, and the country is just used for personal gain! The country is dying, and all the stalks are busy on the table.

[October 5, 665 of the electric calendar, the royal capital of Yuqun, Junyu City, the royal court]

Under the impeachment of many imperial historians who were 'angry for the country'.

The three ministers who controlled the court showed great efficiency, and immediately set up an investigation team against Cao Yue (the general who led the southern defense line) to return the Yuqun army to a "bright and clear future".

Cao Yue was a member of the Yuqun royal family and represented the royal family's control of military power.

And now this kind of face of the Yuqun domestic family in the royal court, please make up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the ministers under Cao Pi forced the Han Emperor to offer the throne, and the ministers under Sima Yan forced Cao Huan.

In the royal court, Yuqun's courtiers have seriously trespassed.

The Jade Monarch wanted to leave, but was blocked by a middle-ranking professional under Quan Xi's command, blocking the door.

The guards at the venue should have intercepted such a crime, but they were indifferent.

The Yuqun monarch angrily pointed at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty: "You are called the ministers of the Yuqun today, but in fact, you are the thieves of the Yuqun!" ”

However, a certain minister in the palace stepped on the jade steps and said solemnly: "Please be the king, take the country as the foundation, and be pro-virtuous." ”

In 665, Yuqun spent time in this wind and wind. Yuqun's political scene is turbulent, and the royal family has to find another way.

When Cao Yue was removed from office six days later, a fief in the east was established.

Cao Yuheng (female) Yuqun royal princess, surrounded by his entourage, boarded the carriage and headed towards the border of Penghai.

If the Zongmeng still exists, if Sexi can remain undefeated in the Battle of Weishui, this princess was originally going to marry Sexi's Zhao family.

However, after the Battle of Weishui, the vitality of the Zhao family was greatly damaged, and the marriage agreement was gone.

The international situation is changing rapidly, and the marriage of Her Royal Highness the princess has been delayed again and again. And now, she was originally going to marry the ministers of other countries, and she has to deign to ask for help at this time.

In the wide special compartment of the train, this sad beauty with a high appearance.

She looked at Penghai's property, that is, the place where she was going to marry, and was trying to learn the aristocratic etiquette over there. This is the fate of the noble lady.

If you don't get the true inheritance of the upper profession, you can't be autonomous.

……

After nearly a hundred years of peace, Penghai Jiji now also feels the crisis of sudden changes in the pattern of the world.

In the face of Taiyun's anger swallowing mountains and rivers, the ministers inside Penghai also began to argue.

At the center of the controversy is the New Alliance.

And there are those who are in favor of this new coalition and those who are against.

The hawks in Penghai agreed with the initiative to form a new vertical alliance with Hanshan and Yuqun; The doves, on the other hand, believe that the new alliance is useless and should continue to reconcile with Taiyun.

Both factions are fighting for the neutrals.

The real idea of most of Penghai's silent neutrals is actually to support the new vertical alliance, but Penghai must be allowed to dominate the new vertical alliance.

Hehe, it's beautiful to think.

This is an aristocratic republic nurtured by an out-and-out aristocratic culture, the concept of the feudal family is not eliminated, and the giants in the parliament are all family before the country.

Such a parliament has only internal friction among parties and has no democracy.

In the Penghai political hall, the central podium surrounded by beams of microphones, you sang and I appeared, and one by one said it was very happy.

And now on the stage is an aristocratic young man, his name is Ji Ji, a young power seal.

"A new alliance is necessary, and whoever opposes it is a sinner in Penghai."

The tone was quite contagious, and many people in the parliament applauded it, and the applause was a group of freshmen who were no more than fifty years old.

The conservatives in the parliament, such as Lu Min, and other old politicians, were blushing and screaming in the face of these young people, and their faces were full of iron.

The steel hammer representing authority struck the steel bowl with a 'bang' sound, but it still couldn't suppress the roar of the young people.

Once a conservative politician put forward the suggestion of "strengthening communication with Taiyun and taking a long-term view", seven or eight young people asked: "Did you take Taiyun's money" or something like that.

How can an old politician compare to a young man in quarrels!

……

It's interesting to say.

It was Lu Min who brought young blood into the political arena of Penghai, and even Ji Ji was the son and nephew of her family.

However, in this noisy parliament, Lu Min has no control over the situation at all. Sitting on the high platform, Lu Min frowned, thinking about what was going on right now?

The Sandstorm Group is full of young people, full of energy, and both military and industrial are full of vitality. How can you open up opportunities for young people, in addition to being noisy, or noisy?

What old politicians such as Lumin are expecting is that young people will come in and take political responsibility. But in reality, young people feel that there is another way to sway their energy - and that is to be a politician.

How can the 'deceitful power field' be compared with the 'nascent organization with a healthy system'!

The parliamentary session is over, and it is no surprise that it is still the young people who have the upper hand in parliament today, as if the new faction has taken control of the country.

He straightened his collar and walked down the corridor, and the two beside him were his political allies and classmates, Ji Min and Tian Hai (now renamed Tian Chonghe), who were now the three heroes of Penghai.

Ji Min: "Stirring, the princess of Yuqun is here, you are blessed tonight." He let out a wicked laugh that all men know.

He said solemnly: "My meeting with Her Royal Highness the Princess is about the connivance of the two countries. However, there was a smug look in his eyes.

Tian Chonghe nodded and said: "The most important thing is to shorten the distance between the two countries, and this distance is best negative." ”

The dialogue between the three of them is full of the spirit of 'life must be happy'.

……

Seven kilometers away, in the legation.

Cao Yuheng looked at the bustling streets with people coming and going outside the window.

The street lamps on the street that imitate the white jade pearl illuminate the street, Penghai has been peaceful for a hundred years, merchants gather, and the city is more smoky than other countries.

Her Royal Highness turned from the window and quietly pushed the door open, and the servant standing at the door saluted her at once.

Cao Yuheng straightened his waist and asked seriously, "Aunt Sun hasn't come back yet?" ”

Servant: "Your Highness, Sun Shangqing is still in the Governor's Mansion." ”

Cao Yuheng waved his hand and said, "You go down." ”

After returning to the room, Her Royal Highness the princess pulled out a carved solid wood chest from under her bed, and this layer of solid wood was just the shell, and when opened, the inside was a metal machine, which was a simple set of battle clothes.

She took off her clothes, put on this well-fitting uniform, changed into men's clothes, and of course put on a layer of raincoat-like plastic sheeting, which achieved optical stealth after activating the refraction method.

A few minutes later, the window opened, and with a thud, a hazy shadow jumped down from the window. And after stepping over the railing and walking a thousand meters away, she ripped off her plexiglass cloak, folded it and put it in her backpack.

This handsome "childe" began to look at this exotic city.
