It is precisely because of this way of doing things of the Shirong clan that they can be passed down for a long time.

Therefore, even if the concubine doesn't give them a grain of food, they have to pay out of their own pockets to defend the center of Zhongrong City, if there is no "big flag" left, who will they look for as a substitute for the dead ghosts?

The reason why there is today's play is entirely because I want to take advantage of the opportunity of the middle palace to get more benefits from the hands of the royal family of the Zhensun family, although the two families of Shirong are independent, they can rely on each other for thousands of years, and that tacit understanding does not need to collude to perform a good show at all.

However, this time they overlooked one thing, the one who sat at the top was not King Zhongrong, but a person who didn't care who sat on the throne more than them.

Seeing that the two groups of people stopped, Concubine Ji sneered in her heart, except for the four secret guards directly under the Sun clan in this palace, the eight guards and the twelve armies are all controlled by the 丨 Rong clan and the family, since the assassination of the Emperor Sun Mishi, it is completely like a tree is falling and scattered.

Not only were a large number of members of the Rong clan recalled to the clan, but they also ate the bowl and looked at the pot, constantly looking for various reasons to ask the middle palace for food and materials, you know, the 12th army that is still under the control of the middle palace, ten out of ten went to ninety percent, what is their idea? Isn't it just to eat the ninety percent of the empty salary?

It is a good calculation to use the money, food, and armament of the middle palace to support his own private soldiers.

Now there are less than 30 million soldiers and soldiers who are still loyal to the middle palace, all of them are pressed on the defense line of Dingjun Mountain, if it were not for the fact that the clans and clans were divided into feudal areas, they would have been scattered to the surrounding areas of Zhongrong City, once the king of Donglai and Donglai Ye came over, the first to bear the brunt was their clan land, I am afraid that they would not even bother to defend the defense line in the domain, lest they consume their own strength.

In this way, these people are still greedy and inadequate, and they are endlessly entangled, aren't they just for the batch of Yanhuang ordnance in her hands?

As soon as she thought of those Yanhuang ordnances, Fei Ji was determined in her heart, why did she dare to be so fearless? I have to say that the sharpness of those Yanhuang ordnance, even the most ordinary soldiers, equipped with those ordnance produced by the Yanhuang Kingdom, can be as powerful as a hundred

The noisy Rong clan stopped, and the five divisions of the 丨 Shi clan opened their mouths again, bluntly begging for war preparation grain depots, military expenses and arsenals.

Unlike the powerful Rong clan, the scholars who are engaged in politics do not have too much strength in this troubled world, but they who are stuck in the money and food of the Rong clan can coerce the Rong clan to use their forces for their own use, and the money and food controlled by the warrior clan come entirely from the royal family, which is a balancing measure and a means of control in the Great Wilderness.

Concubine Ji still casually refuted the request of the 丨 Shi clan 丨 back, now in this situation, how could she hand over too much money and food to the 丨 Shi clan 丨 control, the ration of money and food every ten days made the 丨 Shi clan 丨 have to be attached to the control of the 丨 royal family.

Once they no longer have the right to manage and distribute money and grain in their hands, the Shi clan will lose their grip on the Rong clan, and they will naturally be thrown aside by those who have milk and are mothers, and those who have food are fathers, and completely lose the protection of force from the Rong clan.

Of course, it is impossible for the Middle Palace to abandon these scholars, after all, they also need to manage the entire country's institutional system and suppress the Rong clan, and block the money and grain distribution rights in their hands, forcing them to hold the thighs of the royal family, and use the scholar clan to indirectly control the Rong clan.

Since ancient times, the royal family, the scholar family, and the Rong family, have been inseparable, interdependent, and mutually restrictive "troikas".

Under the current circumstances, Concubine Ji can still monopolize power, and Yanhuang Kingdom has contributed a lot to it.

With the support of "Yanhuang Baiye Co., Ltd." and "Zhongrong Yanhuang Bank" opened by Zhongrong City, the "Ten Taxes for Agriculture" and "Ten Taxes for Commerce" systems implemented by Tiangong Group not only kidnapped the two systems of Shirong into the interest network, but also ensured that Zhongrong City still has sufficient funds to operate under the condition that it has lost a large number of agricultural tax sources.

The most ruthless thing is that the "centralized tax system" of "Yanhuang Baiye Co., Ltd.", which directly handed over this commercial tax to the Zhonggong through "Zhongrong Yanhuang Bank", did not pass through the hands of the scholars at all, so that they could not do anything from it at all.

The "Lang Falcon Group Fleet" of Yanhuang Kingdom has ensured the abundance of all kinds of food and resources in Zhongrong City in isolation, and the price of grain in the city has not only not risen, but has fallen by fifty percent, and only five hundred yuan can be purchased for a high-quality Yanhuang rice and noodles, which has greatly stabilized the people's hearts.

Although this kind of help from the Yanhuang Kingdom to the Zhongrong City is not gratuitous, for example, the "Wind Boat Fleet" with as many as 1,000 ships, although it still belongs to the royal family of the Zhuan Sun clan in name, but in fact, the control has completely fallen into the hands of the Yanhuang Kingdom.

It's not that no one said that Yanhuang Kingdom had ill intentions, and luring Yanhuang's forces into the Middle Palace was tantamount to kidnapping the royal power of Zhongrong County, making the Middle Palace have to rely on them more and more, and the purpose of controlling the Middle Palace was achieved in disguise.

But does Concubine Ji care?

All this was originally promoted by her, in order to achieve this, she even had to expose the group of "secret sons" who stayed in the Yanhuang Kingdom, as long as her layout can be realized, even if it is said that it is "drinking to quench thirst", it doesn't matter, she is not really here to save the royal family of the Zhensun family, who will sit on the throne in the future, and what does it have to do with her?

Moreover, maintaining the current situation is just for the next "drop", her real "killer weapon" and the strongest "chess piece" are actually not the royal family of the Zhuan Sun family, but ......

After the chess piece of the Sun clan and the royal family is useless, she will eventually be abandoned by her as an "outcast", so instead of stopping every move of the Yanhuang Kingdom, she secretly helped.

Anyway, in this 丨Zhongrong City丨, except for her, no one knows how terrible the Yanhuang Kingdom's methods are like spring breeze and rain, even if there are smart people who notice that something is wrong, and don't really understand the horror of the Yanhuang Kingdom, it is impossible for them to know the mystery.

If you want to really see through the terrifying "means of aggression" of the Yanhuang Kingdom, unless you go to the Yanhuang Kingdom to live for half a year, it is possible to understand and learn in depth, but obviously, these nobles in Zhongrong City don't have that mind, and they don't have that time.

Even if they really send people, I'm afraid they won't have any change in the current situation, but will be like her, they will be "conquered" by it that they can't resist at all, after all, the "temptation" caused by the means that Yanhuang Kingdom has is too strong to the world, even if it is a glass of poisonous wine in front of them, they can't help but drink it.

After the routine pulling of skins and tendons, the five divisions and eight bigwigs who still obeyed the rule of the middle palace on the bright face had to take out the official official affairs to report, and the concubine listened casually, while casually giving instructions, and at this moment, the female official in the palace came to report, 丨 Yanhuang Guo丨 mercenary generals asked for an audience.

Concubine Ji interrupted the government affairs without saying a word, and immediately summoned them, and the faces of the bigwigs of the five divisions and the eight institutes suddenly became ugly, the reason why this woman was able to treat them so strongly was because of the support of this Yanhuang mercenary behind her.

After seeing the other party's methods, the two Shirong factions can say that even if all of them defect from the Middle Palace, the other party can immediately take over their duties and keep this Zhongrong City to the ground

With a heavy "click" sound, two generals wearing hideous black iron armor and a scholar dressed in strange black Yanhuang Guo walked in.

The generals of the Eight Institutes, all stared at the heavy armor of the two generals on the other side with envy and hatred, and they couldn't wait to keep it for themselves, it was the Yanhuang armor built by the generals in the army, not to mention the material and protective ability, the generals who had seen the opponent fight once knew that that thing was not a protective equipment at all, but a mobile arsenal

This time, in response to Concubine Ji's request for help, Yanhuang Guo丨 once sent tens of millions of 丨Yanhuang Army丨 to Dingjun Mountain as mercenaries, and what is amazing is that the direction of Dingjun Mountain丨, which originally relied on the garrison of the Zhongrong Twelfth Army, the other party only spent less than 10 million troops, and it was as watertight as an iron bucket

To be precise, the Yanhuang Army did not send the main force at all, but recruited 50,000 soldiers on the spot, and then doubled the height of the Dingjun Mountain in just three months

Yes, you heard it right, it is to double the height of the "mountain", and build the natural moat of Dingjun Mountain into a "Great Wall" that can break the neck at a glance, and the "city" here does not refer to the "city wall", but a real, towering on the mountain, a long and narrow city

Then, during the three months of the city's construction, they trained a group of so-called "militiamen" on the spot, installed a batch of transported ordnance on the city walls, and left the servants who they thought to be nothing more than two-legged donkeys to defend the city.

This "irresponsible" attitude originally angered the generals who were still loyal to their duties and controlled the front line of the Dingjun Mountain, but when the Guannan Army launched a general attack, the Yanhuang Army didn't even bother to take a look, and the gang of servants who were still mud-legged farmers a few months ago easily killed the Guannan Army and piled up a mountain of corpses under the Dingjun Mountain

All those who questioned the decision of the female prime minister were collectively silent, even if the "Dingjun Mountain City" built by the Yanhuang Kingdom was built by the female prime minister with a loan of 5 million trillion yuan from the "Zhongrong Yanhuang Bank".

Even if in order to hire Yanhuang mercenaries, 丨Zhongrong County丨 paid the price of borrowing thousands of wind boats, even if the female minister risked the disapproval of 丨Heiyuan Mansion丨, 丨Qingshan Mansion丨, 丨Baihai Mansion丨 to 丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨

No one dared to say anything, and a large number of black-iron secret weapons that looked very scary were airlifted by the Yanhuang Army in a wind boat, but they were all wrapped in linoleum, and they were parked in the Dingjun Mountain City

Even the Zhuan Sun clan, no one came forward to question it, because everyone knew that whether they questioned it or not, whether they doubted the purpose of Yanhuang Kingdom or not, it would not have any impact on others, because they wanted to capture Zhongrong City, that is, a sneeze

Anyway, even if the Yanhuang Kingdom wants to plot for the throne of the county king, this terrible Yanhuang force is only showing a gentle appearance now, if it really tears its face, I am afraid that Zhongrong City will become a dead city overnight

The devil knows how many hole cards the other party still has not revealed, and just showing them to you in the open is enough to scare everyone's crotch into the water

This is not a military situation that you can resist if you have a few powerful heroes in your forces, nor can you suppress it by controlling thousands of troops, people used a batch of "two-legged donkeys" to block the Guannan Army that almost wiped out Zhongrong County, and the 10 million Yanhuang Army didn't do it at all

If you really want to tear your face, the 10 million people don't dare to say that one is a thousand, at least one can be a hundred, right under your nose......

Even if you have high-end combat power, what if you don't have it?

Moreover, no matter how strong your high-end combat power is, the number cannot be too much, and before your high-end combat power defeats the other party, the other party can already calmly kill your people without leaving a chicken dog, even if you win, what can you do?

Anyway, it's too late to say anything now, no matter what people think, all the forces in Zhongrong City can only shrink their heads and clamp their tails, if they can not tear their faces, they will not tear their faces, and if they tear their faces, they can only pout their cheeks obediently, begging others to be "gentle" and not too bloody.

Fortunately, no matter from that aspect, the attitude shown by the Yanhuang Army is very abided by the so-called "mercenary rule", and it does not show any intention to take the opportunity to occupy Zhongrong City by force, even if it seems to them to be within reach.

This phenomenon made all the noble members of the Shirong and two families, including the Zhensun clan behind the King of Zhongrong, secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the hope that Yanhuang Guoyo would continue to carry forward this fearless spirit of humanity, keep their promises to block foreign enemies for Zhongrong County, and suppress the rebels internally.

"I've Seen a Woman"

The two generals of the Yanhuang mercenaries pushed their visors up, and the delicate machine disintegrated the seemingly complete helmet into dozens of pieces, and retracted into the neck guard, revealing their faces.

"General Pin, General Qiu, these days have been hard"

Concubine Ji also bowed very politely: "I don't know what is the important matter of coming to see Ji at this time?"

The generals of the Eight Institutes scolded for a while: Hard work? Where is it hard work? Since this group of Zi Yanhuang mercenaries arrived at Dingjun Mountain, they saw their mercenaries everywhere with nothing to do, when did they go into battle to kill the enemy?

It's a pity that they only dare to slander it, not to mention the female concubine who is now in power, even when the first king was in power, he also allowed the migration of 1.5 million people from Zhongrong County in Yanhuang Kingdom

Because the local nobles did not take those "two-legged donkeys" in their eyes at all, coupled with the distance of more than 100,000 miles from Zhongrong County to Yanhuang Kingdom, the so-called "population migration" was just a joke that the former king casually played with the lord of Yanhuang.

Who knows, the ten "Lang Falcon Group Fleets" under the command of Yanhuang Guo are amazing, and this is less than a year old, and the 1.5 million people who were promised to them have really been transported away in an endless stream.

Although not all of these 1.5 million people were transported back to the Yanhuang Kingdom, but were scattered along the way in the 100 Yanhuang Water Transport Wharves on the Zhongrong-Yanhuang Water Route, the small country of Yuer, which is said to be no more than the size of Wantuo, really moved away nearly half of the people of Zhongrong County

Among these nobles, which one is not a "big landlord" who owns thousands of acres of land, and tens of thousands of dollars

These lands have to rely on the subordinate people to plant and cultivate for them, this 丨Yanhuang country丨 migrated nearly half of the subordinate population, and the spring ploughing in the coming year, it is almost foreseeable that the situation of insufficient manpower is not angry, so how can the nobles not be angry?

That's it, that 丨Yanhuang country丨 didn't know that there was such a big appetite, swallowed 1.5 million people and were still not satisfied, and stared at the remaining half, a large number of people were poached from the hands of the female prime minister, and it seemed that they would not give up if they did not move the subordinates of Zhongrong County.

This has been shaken to the fundamental interests of the aristocratic class, but the people of Yanhuang Country ↑ are arrogant, and directly expressed their willingness to compensate Zhongrong nobles in the coming year, and the clan produces one and a half times the grain per mu, but in exchange, Zhongrong nobles have to rent the clan Zhongtian mu to the Yanhuang Army to plant military rations.

You don't have to do it yourself, you don't have to farm by yourself, you don't have to worry about the harvest, you only need to rent the acres of land to the Yanhuang Army, you can get more grain than you plant?

Well, the nobles who were originally noisy were very undisciplined and apostatized, and they couldn't wait to rent out even the wasteland in the clan land as acres, so that they could get more "compensation grain" from the hands of Yanhuang Guo, who was stupid and had a lot of food.

"I'm waiting, this time I'm here for the next ten years"

General Yanhuang, who was born in Baimin, said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I don't know if the female appearance has been arranged?"

Concubine Ji's eyes flashed: "However, it has been preliminarily decided, and at that time, ten beast soul generals and ten magic monks will be sent out by the secret guards of the middle palace to participate in the war, and twenty beast soul generals and twenty magic monks from each of the Shirong and Shirong clans will participate in the battle, a total of 'hundred generals,...... Why does the general want to participate in this battle?"
