The affairs of Dongyi City are still complex and sensitive. Suddenly, he will become a citizen of Qingguo. It's not something that everyone can accept, and businessmen are indeed profitable. Bitches are really ruthless. But even the people in the Qinglou of the commercial house, it is still difficult to change immediately, this is different from doing business, doing raw or not cooked, that is to kill the guests, and control their own life and death power, it is best to put it in the hands of acquaintances, this is not the same as the Qinglou to pick up guests, a little red lips ten thousand tastes?

Especially the vassal states in the control of Dongyi City. There has long been a trend of unrest. It is better to be close to the Song Kingdom of Yanjing, because of the aristocratic officials of this small country. He had long been accustomed to the might of the Yanjing army, and he couldn't give birth to any will to resist at all. Others are small countries that do not border Nanqing. Thinking that he was about to lose his nominal power and luxury, and become a dispensable hostage in Nanqing Kyoto, he naturally began to do something in secret.

The power of these small vassal states was not very strong, so the methods they chose were also more obscure. Secretly stirring up the undercurrent of the people, sprinkling peppercorns on the emotions of the people of Dongyi, in just half a month, the protests everywhere have become more fierce and frequent than in previous days.

These were all expected by Fan Xiandi. If you want to accept Dongyi City peacefully, it is not a small thing that can be completed overnight, this is the biggest major event that has happened in the world in the past 20 years.

The Eighth Division of the Supervision Yuan had prepared a large number of civil officials in advance and entered Dongyi City in batches. Cooperate with the Sword House and the City Lord's Mansion. Wave after wave of propaganda offensives were launched. In addition, there are spies around the countries and the help of buying land spies. There is also Dongyi City to follow the trend. Propaganda about peace, about non-war, about co-prosperity and so on. Vigorously unfolded.

and suppressed local protests. To prevent these struggles from turning into uncontrollable civil uprisings, Dongyi City needs to take action on its own. Fan Xian didn't want the state apparatus of Qingguo to enter Dongyi City too early, if it spilled blood. The hatred in the hearts of the people of Dongyi is even deeper, and the situation will be out of control.

The Three-Way Rebel Army has already been suppressed. Of course, these rebels are just more than a hundred thieves in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, and ten of the twelve sons of Jianlu were sent by Fan Xian to these small mountains and forests. Responsible for suppression, responsible for commentary. As for how effective it is. Fan Xian is still waiting for feedback.

Because of the unstable situation, coupled with the natural resistance psychology of the people of Dongyi, some powerful trading houses in the city also began to be a little unstable, in the face of this trend, Fan Xian directly joined forces with Li Bohua, the second disciple of Jianlu, and used the double pressure of Taiping Qianzhuang and Neikudi. It directly shocked all the merchants' movements.

At the same time, Fan Xian and the embassy jointly sent a letter to Kyoto to ask His Majesty the Emperor for instructions on relevant matters. At the same time he asked in the tantra. About the proton land arrangement of the vassal states. Is it possible to go down one level? lest they force the princes to jump over the wall and do terrible things in despair.

Ambush a piece of territory. It is not something that can be done by signing a piece of paper, the key is to subdue the will and will of the people of this territory, and this must take several years. Even decades, hundreds of years.

Fan Xian was not in a hurry. But he was worried that His Majesty the Emperor was too anxious. For him. To be able to satisfy His Majesty the Emperor. At the same time, it is also necessary to make it acceptable to the people of Dongyi City. And not to let Qingguo's iron cavalry kill all the way from Yanjing, this is his purpose, like a tightrope, he walks on it. Hanging in the air on both sides, so careless.

Subjugate. We need a propaganda offensive, we need to buy people's hearts. It is necessary to give the Dongyi people an excuse to convince themselves, and Fan Xian needs to raise everything without sleep. He is needed to be the master of Qingguo Quansi Sword House. In Dongyi City, he kept meeting with the big people from all over the world and those local bigwigs who held real power. Give the other party a letter of approval and reassure the other party.

This is a very tiring thing, Fan Xian's handsome face was finally ruined by dark circles on his eyes, and his face turned white, exhausted to the extreme. But every time he thinks that he is saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, this kind of meaning that he can move closer to the pleasure of martyrdom will make him sober again.

In addition to all the above, the most important thing to conquer is to be strong and irresistible force. The only way to do this is to use strong force as the foundation. The people of Dongyi City will be passively forced to accept humiliation and be annexed by Qingguo.

Therefore, when the situation in Dongyi City calmed down a little, Nanqing's iron cavalry began to move closer to Dongyi City. Like a black cloud destroying a mountain, it is unstoppable.

This is also the bottom line of His Majesty the Emperor. If Qingguo is not stationed in Dongyi City, what kind of conquest is it?

It's summer, and the blazing sun is shining wildly in the sky. The miserable little daughter-in-law in Dongyi City felt sunburned into a constant wheezing pain, and drove away all the rainy weather after the departure of the great master of Dongyi City. Some are just a ray of light.

The Northern Qi mission has long since left. To the surprise of many. Although the people of the Northern Qi were obviously terrified and angry by the annexation of Dongyi City by Nanqing. But they didn't set out to do anything. And just quietly watch it all happen. It seems that the Northern Qi people have accepted their fate.

The hundreds of people standing outside Dongyi City on this day, in addition to the members of the Nanqing Mission and the officials of the Dongyi City Lord's Mansion, were Fan Xian and the disciples of Dijian Lu who had rushed back from all over the country.

Fan Xian bowed his head slightly. Standing on the rolling loess official road, he subconsciously kept moving his steps. The appearance is not very majestic, and he does not want to put on a majestic appearance, because he can clearly feel that all the Dongyi people waiting outside the city at this time. The face is very ugly. Particularly pale. There is a special kind of anger that is forcibly suppressed.

At this time of year. Of course, Fan Xian would not deliberately make a solemn appearance to stimulate them.

The ground gradually trembled, and the body of Di Yunlan who was standing beside Fan Xian gradually trembled. This former head disciple of the Sword Mansion is now the city lord of Dongyi City. I can no longer control the gloomy nothingness in my heart. Trembling.

The faces of the officials of the City Lord's Mansion in Dongyi City were extremely ugly, and the faces of the disciples of the Sword Lu were also a little pale, and they showed their true emotions with the growing trembling sounds.

The end of the official road. There was a hidden rumbling of thunder, which caused the earth to tremble. The small sand in the loess on the ground was shaken and rolled up.

One cavalryman came into view, followed by two, three. Ten. Hundred. Thousands...... Dense cavalry. It pressed towards Dongyi City from the west, a solemn and magnificent momentum. From that side, it directly enveloped all the locals on the outskirts of the city.

Qingjun is coming.

Black Crush Ground Cavalry. In this way, he slowly approached Dongyi City. They represent the strong military power of Qingguo. It represents the irreversible and strong will of His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo. Represents conquest.

A total of 10,000 Qing troops were dispatched by Qingguo to Dongyi City, which were drawn from the border army of the Five Roads within a month, and the army was hastily promoted. But there is no chaos at all, because these are about to represent the Qing army in the four fields of Dongyi City. All of them were veterans of the Western Expedition that year, and under the command of the Great Prince, their combat power was amazing.

Fan Xian squinted. Looking at the Qing army that is getting closer and closer, the momentum is compelling. Slightly sneered. Straightening his clothes, he slowly greeted him, and at this moment, he couldn't help but think of those verbal battles with His Majesty the Emperor in the recital. Si Gu Jian confessed on his deathbed. How many tongues did it take to convince the emperor Lao Tzu. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor also knows that if you want the people of Dongyi City to accept it willingly. The eldest prince and Fan Xian are indeed two good choices.

The number of black horsemen was too small, so he had to choose the Great Prince Dixi Expedition, but Fan Xian absolutely believed it. Among the garrisons. The generals who really belong to the Western Expeditionary Army do not account for the majority, and the eldest prince just came to Dongyi City to show his face, and he still has to go back to the land after all, and it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to allow his eldest son to stay in Dongyi.

I think of that one who is far away in Kyoto. But His Majesty the Emperor, who controlled the affairs of Dongyi, Fan Xian's mood became complicated.

To Fan Xian's surprise, His Majesty the Emperor was not angry that he took over the Sword House without asking for a holy decree. Instead, he seemed to know what Fan Xian was worried about. I sent him a royal approval with an urgent paperwork, and the imperial approval was the same as what was written in the box back then. There are still only two words.

"Ann. ”

Emperor Qing was appeasing Fan Xian's heart, and Fan Xian couldn't help but feel a little confused when he thought about it. Emperor Lao Tzu's trust in himself really moved him a little. Here's the problem. He knew that once Emperor Lao Tzu turned his face. How ruthless it would be, he didn't even dare to be moved in his heart.

The wind and dust are gradually rising, and they are not served. Jackie chan. From the official road to the big city, the speed of the Qingguo cavalry gradually accelerated. Fan Xian couldn't help but squint his eyes. Covering his mouth and nose, I don't know who ordered this kind of suppressive momentum, and I don't know if it will make the people of Dongyi City resistant.

He looked back solemnly, but found that it was beyond his expectations, except for the hidden anger on the faces of those strong men in the Sword Mansion. The rest of the city lords, government officials, and the princes and kings who came to meet the courtesy. But his face was pale. There doesn't seem to be any sign of rebellion at all.

10,000 cavalry stepped on the dust, and the momentum was amazing, and most of the people in Dongyi City were so frightened that they broke off their hearts of resistance.

Looking at this scene, Fan Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Dongyi City's bloodiness was indeed too little. Although the eldest prince's hand was rude and rude, it hit the other party's vital point, and I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor had an explanation before leaving.

However, Dongyi City has little blood, for Fan Xian. But it was a good thing, and he never had the luxury of expecting it. The Northern Qi people will surrender without a fight like the Dongyi people. It can shed less blood. It's all good.

The horse's hooves are like thunder. In a moment, I came to the outskirts of Dongyi City. The 10,000 cavalrymen were dressed in dark light armor, emitting a dazzling light in the sun, and the smoke and dust gradually fell, revealing the true faces of these Qing soldiers. The dense cavalry surrounded the city of Dongyi in this way.

Be quiet. There was silence, even for the horses with their heads twisting. seemed to be shocked by Qingjun's military discipline. Don't dare to gouge hooves, dare not breathe.

Ten thousand pairs of cold eyes watched Dongyi City come to greet the people.

The officials, magnates and tycoons of Dongyi City watched this scene with horror, looking at the strict discipline of the Qing army. Murderous arrogance, sophisticated equipment, and the confidence and domineering that leaked from the inside out, everyone couldn't help but think about it, if the Sword Saint left. Without the will of lowering the will of folding their arms to surrender to Qing, these Qing troops launched an attack on Dongyi City, and I don't know if Dongyi City can resist for a few days, or ...... A few minutes?

The silence in front of the city gate was broken by the sound of horses' hooves. The cavalry of the Qing army was divided into a line, and from it came their commander, and the commander's side was extremely complicated. A guard of honor that is gorgeous to the extreme.

Qingguo Di Tianzi honor guard. With the Qingguodi army, they came to the outside of Dongyi City.

His Royal Highness is next to the Son of Heaven's guard of honor. He was dressed in a silver armor and a sword at his waist. The spear was at the side, and a blood-red cloak was tied behind him. Hunting in the yellow dust and sea breeze.

The eldest prince lightly took the reins of the horse and guarded the honor guard of the Son of Heaven in front of everyone. calmly and with complicated eyes looking at everyone at the gate of Dongyi City.

There was a silent silence.

Yun Zhilan closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, struggled for a long time, and gradually became wet under his eyes. Then he slowly knelt down towards the honor guard of the Son of Heaven next to the war horse.

The city lord of Dongyi City knelt, and all the local officials also knelt down. The princes of the candidate kingdom also knelt down, and knelt densely on the ground. To the south of the Gyeongdi army. Xiang Nanqing's Son of Heaven expressed his surrender.

The disciples of the Sword Mansion did not kneel, although they knew that this was a reluctant decision made by Master Shizun before he died. Although they knew that the senior brother had broken out, for the sake of the people of Dongyi City, they had to kneel down in front of these Qingguo troops. But they weren't officials in Dongyi City. They are free bodies, or more precisely, they are charlatans.

Jianghu people have a code of conduct for Jianghu people, and they have no fetters. So they stared at those Qingguo cavalry who were terrifying, and there was no trace of fear in their eyes. Instead, it gives birth to infinite anger and fighting spirit.

More than half of the world's nine-rank powerhouses are here. They are not afraid of anything.

The eldest prince sat on his horse. He glanced indifferently at these stubborn and unwilling to bow down at the Sword Lu disciples. I was about to say something. But I heard a familiar and clear light coming from the oblique. But he was a little tired, and he had a somewhat indifferent voice.

"The disciples of Jianlu listened to the order. Fan Xian closed his eyes slightly. said: "Go back to the city to help the city lord's mansion maintain law and order." ”

This reason is ridiculous, Fan Xian sighed in his heart, knowing that he had made a mistake, he should not have let the disciples of the Sword House come here, these people are all masters among the masters, and they are all arrogant people. Especially powerful characters like Li Bohua and Shisanlang. Either he is the head of the world's first money village, or he is the strongest person who is most likely to be promoted to the great grandmaster, how can he bow his head under the authority of a country.

Dongyi City is indeed not very bloody. If there are ten points, at least nine points remain in the hearts of the disciples of the Sword Mansion.

I heard the doorman speak. The disciples of Jianlu did not dare to disobey their orders, knowing in their hearts that Master Xiao Fan was giving himself a step, and after a stalemate for a while, Li Bohua finally became more serious, and after being silent for a long time, he let out a long sigh. The two lines of hot tears flowed silently, and led the juniors and disciples to the city gloomily, making way for the road into the city.

Wang Shisanlang did not leave with him. Nor did he kneel. He just stood indifferently beside Fan Xiandi. Looking at the menacing cavalry of Qingguo. It's like there's no one in the eye at all.

The eldest prince glanced at Fan Xian with deep meaning. Then Father-in-law Dai beside him unfolded the holy decree in his hand and whispered it to the officials and businessmen of Dongyi City who knelt in front of the honor guard.

"I have heard that Mr. has gone to mourn, and I have heard that Mr. is noble. Respect for the people of Li with the center of gravity......"

Fan Xian was on the side of the official road, quietly listening to this most important holy decree, and found that this holy decree was not like in previous years. It's all the standard appearance, but it's really the tone of His Majesty the Emperor. And there is no false respect in the words, as for the people of Dongyi City, what will they think of Emperor Qing who killed the sword, that is another matter.

This decree is long. It describes Emperor Qing's greetings to the people of Dongyi City, and about the importance of unifying the world to the people of Li. Words sincerely.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor approved the appointment of the city lord of Yunzhilan Dongyi City, and ordered him to enter Beijing at the right time and accept the canonization.

Kneeling at the forefront, Yun Zhilan listened to this will, and it was not too surprising. Although he is the lord of the city, he is in a position that can be negotiated. But in order to continue, it must be canonized by Emperor Qing himself.

He got up a little gloomily and took the decree with both hands. Salute again.

The ceremony continues. This is an incomparably complex and incomparably important ritual, a ritual of conquest and subjugation.

The eldest prince dismounted. Approached Fan Xian, looked at him for a long time, and said, "I didn't do well before." ”

Fan Xian knew that this close brother was referring to the matter of letting the disciples of Jianlu leave, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "I'm already very tired, I don't know what else to do." ”

"But the attitude of the disciples of the Sword Lu still has to be expressed. The eldest prince looked at him gently, was quiet for a while, and said very seriously: "However, you have done well enough...... I think. The whole world. In this matter. No one can do it better than you. ”

Fan Xian smiled slightly, didn't take over the words, just said: "The attitude of the disciples of the Sword Lu. will show it to His Majesty. ”

He kept his head down. said to Wang Shisanlang beside him: "Thirteen Lang." You are in charge of the Placement of the Army's Arrival Ceremony. ”

Wang Thirteen Lang, who had been silent, raised his head. Didn't ask why. Just looked at Fan Xian quietly, the meaning was very simple - why me?

"Because you're a simple person. Fan Xian gave him a reason that he couldn't refuse, "I learned a little from you, if you are simple, the world will be simple to you." ”

In the eldest prince's slightly puzzled gaze. Fan Xian patted Wang Shisanlang. "I think you want it to be simpler, too." ”

Wang Xi, the thirteenth disciple of the Sword Mansion, stood in front of the cavalry. I can't help but think of the bright afternoon when Miss Sangwen took him to choose a girl many years ago. The same helplessness, the same headache.

Only then did he know that from that afternoon, Fan Xian had decided to tie his life to his. Regarding this, simply Wang Shisanlang thought about it and simply accepted it.
