This defeat caused Zhang Jin to lose nearly 40% of the fleet, and if he wants to restore to the original number, I am afraid it will be enough to tens of billions.

Coupled with the bonds issued for the war, Zhang Jin's economic losses are at least tens of billions, and if you count the interest and so on, Zhang Jin's finances are actually on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now a large number of bankers are guarding Zhang Jin's official residence every day, forcing him to repay his debts in various ways, and Zhang Jin can do nothing but deal with these debt collectors every day.

In addition to these bankers collecting debts every day, the big families who supported Zhang Jin also turned their faces one after another, and one by one asked Zhang Jin to fulfill the promises he made before the war.

The most shameless of them is Zhao Xian, although he is Zhang Jin's cousin, he is not inferior to others in this matter.

Zhao sent his fleet away at the most critical time, causing Zhang Jin's fleet to completely collapse, thus losing the entire war. However, Zhao Jian still asked Zhang Jin to fulfill his previous promise, and if he couldn't get the mining privileges of the Sea Eagle Galaxy, he would replace it with other materials.

This approach is undoubtedly driving Zhang Jin to a dead end, even if Zhang Jin can bear it again, it will finally break out at this time.

Zhang Jin angrily announced that he would terminate all cooperation with Zhao Dispatch, and at the same time would take revenge on Zhao Dispatch for dismantling the Taiwan at an appropriate time.

But what Zhang Jin didn't expect was that instead of being frightened, Zhao Jian used this as an excuse to pull in several big families to prepare to sanction Zhang Jin economically.

Now those big families no longer trust Zhang Jin, and at the instigation of Zhao Xian, a committee was formed to impose sanctions on Zhang Jin, the purpose of which was to force Zhang Jin to fulfill his promise.

Now Zhang Jin has become a lost dog who is constantly persecuted by all sides, even if he wants to get rid of it, those people will not let him go, it is really better to live than to die.

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Jin may not have a chance to turn over, and even if he can get through the current difficulties, I am afraid it will take a long time to return to the situation before the war.

However, in this era of constant strife and annexation by foreign powers, who will give Zhang Jin so much time, maybe someone has already set their sights on Zhang Jin's prey.

Putting aside Zhang Jin, who fell into a trough, the current Li Xingqi can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, not only swallowing the rich Sea Eagle Galaxy in one bite, but also earning back dozens of times in one fell swoop.

The victory in this war not only greatly relieved Li Xingqi's financial pressure, but most importantly, pushed his popularity to an unprecedented height.

Before this war, Li Xingqi, like everyone else, was looking for those relatively weak galaxies, and there were few real large-scale wars, almost all of which were one-sided situations.

The war between Li Xingqi and Zhang Jin can be said to be the first real strong dialogue since entering the troubled times, so the eyes of the entire empire are fixed on this war, and everyone wants to see who can pass the test of the war and prove their worth.

Through this hard-fought battle, Li Xingqi proved that he is the one who can handle the test of a large-scale war, and if others want to be on a par with Li Xingqi, they must also prove themselves through a real tough battle.

Therefore, when the results of the war spread throughout the empire, all public opinion blew Li Xingqi into the sky, calling him a unique famous general at that time and the person most likely to control the fate of the empire in the future.

Although Li Xingqi also had a lot of criticisms before, after this victory, almost everyone left these things behind, and there were only various words of praise left in various media.

The bankers who were most pleased with this victory brought great benefits to the treaty they had forced Li Xingqi to sign.

The bankers, who had obtained huge benefits, in addition to desperately advocating Li Xingqi's great achievements, also offered to forgive some of Li Xingqi's debts, but at the same time, they also constantly encouraged Li Xingqi to continue according to the current pattern.

Li Xingqi's prestige has now reached its extreme, and he once again spent a huge amount of money on the purchase of armaments, officially expanding the fleet under his command to seven, becoming the most powerful armed force in the entire empire, even compared to the original imperial capital.

With such a large number of weapons, many colonies will be very afraid of Li Xingqi, many colonies only have a small number of weapons, they are very worried that they will become Li Xingqi's next target of conquest, so they simply take the initiative to take refuge.

All of a sudden, many colonies sent negotiators to the Seawolf system, ready to take refuge under Li Xingqi's command in exchange for peace and security.

Li Xingqi naturally did not refuse to come, but the conditions offered became more and more harsh, and many colonies had to promise to pay a large amount of taxes from the galaxy to Li Xingqi, in exchange for Li Xingqi's promise not to attack.

If these colonies wanted to be protected by Li Xingqi, they would have to accept harsher conditions, otherwise Li Xingqi would have to promise not to attack these places for the time being.

The negotiators of the colonies were talking in private, saying that Li Xingqi was like a lion opening his mouth and swallowing the wealth accumulated in these colonies for many years.

However, no one dared to say these words in front of Li Xingqi, lest they would find the disaster of war because of this.

In order to protect themselves from the invasion of war, many colonies had to grit their teeth and sign harsh agreements with Li Xingqi, which caused many colonies to be angry with Li Xingqi but did not dare to speak.

Now there are dozens of galaxies under Li Xingqi's control, in order to better control these galaxies, after some consideration and discussion, Li Xingqi finally officially announced that his administrative center will be moved to Lan Shengxing in the Sea Eagle Galaxy 10 months after defeating Zhang Jin.

In order to justify the notification of these galaxies, Li Xingqi also established an organization called the Xinghan Empire Colonial Security Alliance, of which all the galaxies under his control are members, and Li Xingqi himself serves as the executive chairman of the Alliance's military committee.

This move allowed Li Xingqi to justifiably give orders to the various colonies under his command through this organization, and at the same time, he could effectively control the armed forces in various places, which can be said to be a moment of power.

Li Xingqi also sent an invitation to Liu Yi, asking Liu Yi's Yaqiu to join the organization, and also promised Liu Yi to serve as the vice chairman of the Alliance's Military Committee and the chairman of the Alliance's Development Committee.

Judging from the conditions offered by Li Xingqi, it can be said that it is not unfavorable, which is of course a concrete embodiment of the deep personal relationship between the two.

However, this move sparked a heated discussion within Yaqiu, and many people believed that Li Xingqi was annexing Yaqiu in a different direction, and once Yaqiu also participated in the Colonial Security Alliance, it would be equivalent to becoming one of the many colonies controlled by Li Xingqi in fact.

In the future, once Li Xingqi gives orders to Yaqiu in the name of the Colonial Security Alliance, Yaqiu can only accept and implement them unconditionally, otherwise it will be tantamount to opposing the entire alliance and Li Xingqi.

However, there are also some people who believe that there is nothing wrong with participating in this colonial security alliance, at least to avoid getting involved in the war with Li Xingqi.

Now the galaxy around Yaqiu has basically become a place controlled by Li Xingqi, if Yaqiu does not participate in this alliance, if Li Xingqi intends to sanction Yaqiu in the future, Yaqiu will fall into an isolated situation.

Rather than offend Li Xingqi and fall into isolation, it is better to participate in this alliance, not to mention that the conditions offered by Li Xingqi are also very generous, once Liu Yi has these two titles, it can bring a lot of convenience and benefits to Yaqiu, why not?

As a result, the two factions of the two factions of different opinions engaged in a heated argument, each with its own reasoning, and neither could refute the other, and Yaqiu's political council became a place of debate, and everyone fought over each meeting.

Liu Yi listened patiently to the opinions of all parties, but everyone made sense, and the various pros and cons have been explained very clearly, but this is still a very difficult multiple-choice question.

In order not to make a wrong choice, Liu Yi thought about it for many days, and he also consulted Old Man Tang for this. Liu Yi regards Old Man Tang as his strongest thinker and mentor, and hopes that he can give himself a pertinent advice on this matter.

However, Old Man Tang only helped Liu Yi conduct various analyses, and as for how to choose in the end, he did not give a clear answer.

In the words of Mr. Tang, "I am already old, and it is inevitable that I will not be confused when thinking about problems, and you still have your own ideas about this kind of important matter, as long as it is your decision, I will definitely support it." ”

Liu Yi understands that the reason why Old Man Tang is reluctant to say too clearly is that the key is his relationship with the Tang family, as long as he does not become a member of the Tang family for a day, Old Man Tang will have reservations.

Of course, Liu Yi will not blame Old Man Tang for this, this is just human nature. In fact, Liu Yi didn't want to marry Tang Jie, the real reason was because of Tang Jie's father Tang Lun.

In the past few years, Liu Yi found that Tang Lun was not as simple as he appeared, Tang Lun usually looked like a middle-aged man who was a little squirming, but in fact, he was also ambitious.

In addition, Old Man Tang is old, who can become the master of the Star Alliance in the future, Old Man Tang has not been clear, so Tang Lun has been moving around, hoping that he can have more power, so as to ensure his future interests.

Therefore, in recent years, the friction between Liu Yi and Tang Lun has gradually increased, and Tang Lun has been staying in Yaqiu less and less, although he has the title of a member of the Yaqiu Political Affairs Committee, he has participated in fewer and fewer meetings.

For this reason, many people have accused Tang Lun, but Liu Yi has always kept Tang Lun's position and worked hard to maintain the relationship with Tang Lun.

However, Liu Yi also knew very well that Tang Lun's mind was no longer in Yaqiu, and now he didn't know what Tang Lun's plans were, and it was precisely because of these things that Liu Yi had been hesitant about marrying Tang Jie.
