"The second step is for us to pretend to show weakness and negotiate with the Eight Kings, exchanging the Red Blood City for Lingshan City, the Red Blood City is under the jurisdiction of the Eight Kings, and the Lingshan City is under the jurisdiction of the imperial brother. On the surface, you suffered a loss, and you exchanged the national capital for Lingshan City, the smallest of the five major cities. In fact, it was the Eight Kings who suffered, and he already actually occupied the Red Blood City, but you asked for a Lingshan City for nothing. ”

"At the same time, you also replaced the three million troops left in the Red Blood City, as well as the people of the Imperial Palace, the General's Hall, the Iron Blood Guard, and the Elite Knights, otherwise if they turn against the Eight Kings, their lives will be in danger. ”

"On the surface, you are soft, but in fact it is the real Taoguang Yanghui, the three enemies of the imperial brother are sandwiched between Zhang Jun, they want to get greater benefits, they are bound to fight with Zhang Jun to the end, and it will be the four of them who will be weakened at that time, and the imperial brother only needs to painstakingly manage Guiyun City, Huaiyang City, and Lingshan City, and he still has most of the Red Blood Country and more than sixty percent of the population. That is, the hidden dangers have been eliminated, and the development can be carried out with peace of mind, why not?"

"Brother Huang, what do you think of Brother Huang's strategy?"

"He is worthy of being the unparalleled brother of the King of Song in the world, and I admire the royal brother. Just do what you say, but where are the strange soldiers you said?"

"Of course, there are three soldiers. ”

"First, divide 10 million troops to surround and station around Red Blood City, of course, this 10 million army needs to set up multiple banners, so set up a suspicious formation, pretending to be 30 million troops all around Red Blood City, and put pressure on the Eight Kings. ”

"The second is to divide five million ambushes on the road from Lingshan City to Red Blood City, and the first is to guard against a sneak attack by Lingshan City. Second, after reaching an agreement with the Eight Kings, the garrison of Lingshan City will definitely retreat, and we will eat him secretly. ”

"The third is to divide the remaining fifteen million troops into three teams, two of which will support and consolidate the city defenses of Guiyun City and Huaiyang City, and the other team of five million people will be secretly stationed on the periphery of Lingshan City. It's just that the royal brother's family in the Red Blood City is in danger. It's a pity that there are three million elite soldiers in the Red Blood City. ”

"My family doesn't need to worry, with the elders of the royal family here, the eight kings don't dare to mess around. If he doesn't agree to change cities, we will take the garrison of Lingshan City and exchange hostages with them. Actually, what I'm most worried about is Zhang Jun, surrounded on three sides, I don't know how many days he can last, haha......" Zeng Huang said with a smile.

"The longer he lasts, the better it will be for us. We can take the opportunity to recruit troops, I hope he can fight against the three-way enemy for a while longer, haha......" King Song and Emperor Zeng smiled heartily.

"Imperial brother, do you have any news about the third prince Jiang Kang and Chutian this time?"

"There has been no news of them, according to reliable reports, they did escape from the exit of the underground of the palace, but no one knows where the underground exit is outside the city, and their tens of thousands of people have not returned to the Red Blood City, nor have they gone to the Kunyu Empire, and now they tens of thousands of people have disappeared out of thin air, and I have also sent many people to investigate, and there is no news at all. ”

"This is strange, now the left prime minister of the Kunyu Empire and the people of the imperial family have sent people to inquire about the affairs of the three princes, and the pressure on me is very great! The status of the three princes in the imperial family is not ordinary, and the characters who have great hopes of inheriting the great unification are now missing for no reason, which will definitely cause turmoil in the government and the opposition of the Kunyu Empire. Now that the envoy is in the post house, this matter has not been publicly answered, and I am also under a lot of pressure!"

"Oh, if that's the case, we can do something about it. Maybe it can have the effect of killing three birds with one stone?" King Song's eyes turned to his heart.

Emperor Zeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately cheered up and said, "Brother Huang, tell me, how can you kill three birds with one stone!"

"Imperial brother, the main goal of the third prince Kang Lai's Red Flame Pass is to mediate the war between the two families and avoid excessive consumption of the Red Blood Country's army, but the purpose is to accumulate strength for himself to seize the throne and close the relationship with the Red Blood Country, and strive to get the support of the Red Blood Country. ”

"And the disappearance of the third prince is definitely responsible for both you and Emperor Leng, but you have been accepting the surrender of the army, and the third prince has not met with you at all, so your responsibility is minimal and can be ignored. ”

"But Emperor Leng is different, he is a person from the Capricorn Empire, but there is an agreement between the suzerains that they are not allowed to interfere in the war of the subject countries, so they didn't attack Emperor Leng, but the disappearance of the third prince Kang is such a big thing, it is different, we can completely say that Emperor Leng is playing ghosts, so that the Kunyu Empire has a reason to send troops, even if the Capricorn Empire asks, it will be helpless. ”

"The biggest person responsible for the disappearance of the three princes should be Zhang Jun and Chu Tian, and Chu Tian represents the Eight Kings. That Chutian disappeared with the three princes, which can be suspected of Zhang Jun secretly detaining people, and it can also be suspected that the eight kings hid them in order to achieve the crime of framing Emperor Zeng. In this way, we can not only clear ourselves of responsibility, but also allow the Kunyu Empire to spread its anger on the three of them. ”

"Isn't that killing three birds with one stone?"

"Okay, kill three birds with one stone, go, you follow me to meet the envoy. ”

The two sides of the Red Flame Pass seem to be surrounded by cyclones, and the center of the hot and cold cyclones is Red Flame City, just like the core of the yin and yang fish in the Bagua diagram.

The bottom of the Great Snow Mountain is rich in blessing gems that bring good luck, and the Red Flame Mountain is rich in flame stones that bring bad luck. The Flame Stone is highly poisonous, and if you are not careful, you will be poisoned to death, so few people mine it, and even if you collect it, no one will buy this kind of thing that will bring bad luck to people. So there has been no one on the side of Chiyan Mountain.

Zhang Jun opened the introduction of Chiyan Mountain from a Chiyan City Chronicle, and it turned out that the Flame Divine Stone was discovered many years earlier than the Blessed Gem, and it was not mined at the same time as the Blessed Gem until 2,400 years ago. But when he gradually discovered that the Flame God Stone was highly poisonous and would make people unlucky, no one was going to fight his idea.

Zhang Jun bought out all the blessing mines, but due to the great changes in the world, the mines that had been dug were reburied underground, and the roads into the mining area were also destroyed.

There are chief managers in charge of mining in each jewelry store, and several of them did not leave with the main family, but chose to stay, Zhang Jun summoned them all to the Royal Jewelry Store, and now the Royal Jewelry House has been renamed the Red Flame King Jewelry Store.

Leng Xiang'er received the news that Zhang Jun was going to come to inspect early, during this time, Leng Xiang'er took great pains to investigate Zhang Jun, and several times in the name of the general manager of the Red Flame King Jewelry Store, she wanted to see Zhang Jun, but she was blocked back by the guards, and Leng Xiang'er almost didn't kill anyone.

Today is the first time she has made formal contact with Zhang Jun, and Leng Xiang'er is a little apprehensive.

Zhang Jun's decree during this period of time became more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and hundreds of millions of people in Red Flame City simply worshipped Zhang Jun as a god, so they almost burned incense and knelt down in the name. Every decree made Leng Xiang'er feel incredible, those questions she had never thought about.

For example, the abolition of slavery and the change of slavery to mercenary.

The family that owns the slave must hand over the slave's deed of sale to the city lord's mansion in exchange for 1,000 high-grade spars within a limited time, and if they do not pay the deed of sale on time, they will be punished by ten times the fine.

If you want to use these people as servants, you must go to the city lord's palace to register and sign a contract with the person who intends to be a slave, this contract clearly stipulates that you must not wantonly harm the life of the slave, you must not refuse to pay the commission, you must not sexually assault the female servant, and the compensation commission for violating the law is 100 times. If a slave dies unexpectedly, the body must be examined at the lord's house, and those who intentionally kill will be punished with death.

This decree was upheld by tens of millions of slaves in the Red Blood City. They can continue to work for their home, but they pay a commission on an annual basis.

The law stipulates that the slave trade is not allowed in the Red Blood City from now on, and those who buy and sell slaves are punished with capital punishment.

Although it harmed the interests of some people, they did not lose any money, which was equivalent to selling the slaves to the city lord's mansion, but if they wanted to use slaves in the future, they had to sign a contract to hire them.

Zhang Jun has paid close to 100 billion high-grade spars for this expenditure alone, but these spars are not much in Zhang Jun's current net worth.

Another example is the establishment of a faculty.

It consists of the Wenwu Academy, the Wenwu School, the Adult School, and the Martial Arts Academy.

There is a civil and military academy for every 10,000 students, no need to take the exam, and young people from the age of six to the age of 16 must attend a school, and no one can shirk it for any reason, which is mandatory and must participate.

The Wenwu Academy is a high-level civil and martial arts school, and it needs to be assessed before you can go to it, and its East Mountain Academy is one of the martial arts academies.

Of course, most people still chose to go to the martial arts school, which was almost overcrowded.

If adults want to get ahead, they can choose the adult school, learn at any time, no time limit, open big classes on the school field every day, taught by the master professionally, different schools teach different knowledge, there are martial arts exercises, arithmetic literacy, agriculture and business, medicine mining, manufacturing tools, Confucianism and Taoism and so on.

And the Martial Arts Academy is a library where the following exercises of the Ming Martial Arts Mirror can be read for free. Zhang Jun recruited millions of literati and copied all kinds of martial arts books by hand, which could not only be read for free, but also purchased for some spars.

In the past, martial arts techniques that required great contributions or military merits to be referenced, and which were regarded as treasures by major families, can now be read or purchased for free at the Martial Arts Academy. This is a move that has made the whole city crazy, and the martial arts academy where the palace has been renovated is overcrowded every day.

Zhang Jun's laws and decrees varied, ranging from neighborhood disputes to major military and political events, all of which were subject to varying degrees of change.

Earth-shaking changes are underway in Red Flame City. These things make Leng Xiang'er feel new every time she thinks about it.
