There was a muffled thunder in the air, and a dazzling bolt of lightning pierced through the thick dark clouds and slashed straight down towards the top of the giant tree on the top of Dushuo Mountain.

The top of the tree flashed with a blue light, and a barrier to the barrier light up before the lightning fell, quickly forming a large cyan barrier, blocking the fierce and swift lightning from the barrier, so that it could not hurt the tree in the slightest.

And the muffled thunder and tremors continued, so that on the main hall of the military government yamen under the tree, the beams and pillars and the ground were trembling slightly.

"Our key defense must not only defend against a large-scale attack by the enemy, but also the attack and harassment of a small army. When the trembling faded, Shuyan said to King Yama, "Of course, if we are attacked, we can also use this method when we need to fight back. Wait for the rainy season to pass before a large-scale attack. ”。

"Hmm. King Yama nodded again, but said nothing.

He was going to listen first, and then talk about it when he was done.

"And to infiltrate, it is impossible for small armies to sneak up and harass, and to infiltrate rivers where the water level rises during the rainy season. The only places that are possible are those in the wooded areas where there are no rivers. These are the areas that are most vulnerable to enemy infiltration. Speaking of this, Shuyan, who had paused, finally picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and moistened her throat.

"The mountains are high and the forests are thick, and the rain and fog make it impossible to spot these small groups of enemy troops infiltrated even if the air cavalry is circling overhead. After swallowing the tea in her mouth, Shuyan continued: "So these places should focus on defense. ”。

At this point, King Yama nodded again in agreement.

There are many places in the oasis of Dongyingzhou, which is the biggest problem. The Nine Shadows Kingdom does not have so many garrisons, and it can control all these mountains and forests.

"But we don't have so many soldiers to defend these places. Immediately afterwards, King Yama raised this difficulty.

"All people are soldiers. Shuyan seemed to have a plan, and came as soon as she opened her mouth: "According to the system of other regions, let every ghost people be armed." ”。

Xuanyan Continent, Yunmeng Continent and Dongyi Continent of the Nine Shadows Kingdom did just that. Since the time when the Nine Shadows Kingdom was still entrenched on a small island in the sea, it had already begun to expand its military strength in this way. In this way, every inch of land in the Nine Shadows Kingdom is solid.

However, Dongyingzhou did not implement this set. Just because of the continuous wars in Dongyingzhou before, Chengchi County and even every inch of land may change hands at any time. Under such circumstances, the Nine Shadows Kingdom would not be able to implement the policy of all the people being soldiers.

But today, Shuyan, who knew about these circumstances, brought up the matter again, which made King Yama a little dazed for a while.

"We have stabilized the area of order and law and order, and we can start to implement the principle of all-in-command. First of all, you can start with the Rakshasa Kingdom in the past and the Rakshasa County area today. The ghosts of this place are now our loyal ghosts. They are clearly not hostile and do not want to come nonsense. Having regained the benefits of our fair and equal system, most of them have fully integrated into our country. Before that, I supervised the construction of the passes and fortifications in the area, and there was basically no need to mobilize, and the ghost people would rush to help. We have laid a deep foundation among the local people. I applied to implement a policy of all-for-all soldiers in the local area to strengthen the defense. ”。

King Yama looked at Shu Yan, and when he looked down, he saw the firmness and confidence in Shu Yan's eyes.

He pondered for a moment, but he didn't rush to agree, just said: "I will report to Yuque City as soon as possible, to implement this policy, with my authority, I can't cut it first." ”。

Shu Yan on the opposite side bowed slightly, expressing understanding and agreeing with King Yama's words.

"Once all the people are soldiers, even if the enemy infiltrates in the rainy season, they will be caught in a vast sea of all-people war, and there will be no return. Then, Shuyan added. She may also hope that the king of Yama will also pass on these words back to Yuque City.

"Yes. The king of Yama nodded, and then said, "But what you said is on the one hand, on the other hand, the lord has decided to build fortresses and passes in many places in your jurisdiction, and stationed troops in dangerous places, and began to prepare for war after the rainy season. ”。

"Huh?" Shuyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Yama King opposite in surprise.

In the rainy season, the roads are muddy and transportation is blocked, so the construction of the pass at this time will halve the efficiency and inevitably double the construction period. What's more, to build these projects now will only cost more military power.

Shuyan was a little suspicious that something was wrong with her ears, did she hear it wrong?

King Yama looked at Shuyan's gaze, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry about the military strength, the king has already given us another army." Moreover, Lord Julong was already on his way here, and he personally designed and supervised these passes. He'll be there tomorrow. ”。

These, Shuyan felt a little relieved. After all, Julong, the master of construction and farming, came, and she didn't have to worry about building passes and fortifications.

But Shuyan still asked one more question: "How many troops are there?"

Seeing that there were only him and Shuyan in the hall, there were no ghosts, and his attributes were not concealed and kept secret, he raised his right index finger to Shuyan and shook his mouth: "One hundred thousand troops, all of which are for you, enter your defense area directly from Sanshan Island." Military orders and troop transfer tokens will arrive with the army, as well as your promotion order. ”。

After saying that, King Yama laughed. He wanted to congratulate Shuyan on her promotion, but he still smiled more ugly than crying......

The wind let out a sharp howl and passed through the city of Howling Winds. The guins of the shops in the city were blown up, and the hunting and hunting continued in the wind and in the noise of the city.

And the army that has been resting outside the city before will leave in the near future, and is preparing to pull out the camp, which is much more lively than in the city.

The army was about to leave, which made some of the ghosts in Howling Wind City and the Howling Wind Plains feel at ease.

And most of the ghost people don't have any ideas. The army of the Nine Shadows Country is strictly disciplined, and it does not commit any offense with the ghost people. Not to mention that soldiers are not allowed to come, even if they are not allowed to trample on the fields in normal times.

A few years ago, a school captain with brilliant military achievements, just because life was boring, deliberately snatched a chicken raised by ghost people, and injured the ghost people who raised chickens, so Xiao Shizhu signed a death sentence execution order.

Such strict military discipline makes the ghost soldiers dare not do anything wrong. And the ghost people in the country are even more at ease, and they also love these soldiers of the Nine Shadows Country even more.

Therefore, the army is not here, and it is nothing special to most of the ghost people in Howling Wind City or the Howling Wind Plains.

And Xiao Fuling also climbed the city gate tower in the west of the city again today, and the guards guarding this place were all replaced by her guards before she boarded.

Thrush and Fan Jinhong, as well as Xiao Lingling's two senior sisters from Su Tianju, also followed her to the city gate tower.

The wind roared, and the flags on the gates and towers made a whirl-la-la sound in the wind.

Xiao Lingling stood behind the battlement, looked down on the front, and saw that the army camp outside the city was busy and noisy. The sergeants and soldiers were busy packing supplies and supplies.

It won't take a day or two for them to set off and rush to Yunmengzhou.

"Lord Thrush's work is still efficient, and the materials needed for the army have been prepared in half a month. Xiao Fuling looked ahead and said with a smile: "The work ability is good, I must report it to my father and give you a reward." ”。

Xiao Fuling is in a good mood today, always smiling and full of spring breeze.

Just because of her work, it's almost over.

When the time comes, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.

Xiao Fuling was naturally very happy.

"Thank you, Lord Weng. The thrush saluted slightly and thanked Xiao Ling.

"It's almost time to close the net. After a while, he continued to look at Xiao Fuling in front of him, and asked leisurely: "Fan Jinhong, have you found out where their funds are going?"

They are the criminal gangs that resell rare minerals.

"Got it checked. Fan Jinhong nodded slowly, and said confidently to Xiao Fuling: "According to our interrogation of the criminals who have been controlled, from the clues they have provided, we have found that the criminal funds of this gang or the dirty money that has been profited, no matter how many turnovers, will flow into a money bank in our country." And the whole of this money bank, except for the powerless and powerless guys, can be sure that they have basically been co-opted by this gang. ”。

Xiao Fuling bowed her head slightly, and secretly thought: "Sure enough, if their dirty money wants to become a clean currency, it must be washed by the money bank." ”。

Prior to this, Xiao Fuling and Lai Yueqi had secretly discussed this issue. There is only one result - the rich bank is helping this criminal gang to launder money.

There are not many money houses in the Nine Shadows Country, and they are not disorganized. Xiao Shizhu improved the money village system, and most of the money houses in the country became state-owned, and they were controlled by the imperial court.

It is not for the purpose of profiteering, so that it will be easier for all walks of life in the Nine Shadows Country to turn over loans, and it will not make small businesses ruin due to high interest rates and no money.

Obviously, it is impossible for these money banks to be in the same league as criminal gangs.

Their accounts must be sent to the underground palace department in charge of educating the people and administrative affairs every six months, and handed over to the ghost officials under the local officials, who are in charge of the financial verification of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms. As long as there is a sum of money that does not match, it will be quickly cleared.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fuling opened her lips lightly and asked, "Is it a private bank?"

In the Nine Shadows Country, there are not too many private banks, and there are only two or three of them, and they have not violated the law, but they are easy to be ignored.

"Yes, a private bank that is not small in scale and has semicolons everywhere. Fan Jinhong, who nodded again, replied word by word: "Heaven and Earth Money Village." ”。

The smile on Xiao Fuling's face quickly faded, replaced by a look of resentment.

Xiao Shizhu and the imperial court of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are also good for this money village, and the policies and benefits that should be given have naturally not been treated badly. Even so, there are still ghosts who want to eat inside and out, which makes Xiao Fuling resentful.

As Xiao Fuling slowly clenched her fists, Fan Jinhong said again: "The Xuanjiao disciples sent by the lord, and the reliable secret agents of the Chacha Division, have already monitored and controlled all the shops of this silver bank. As long as we take action, these banks can be confiscated immediately. There is no evidence of destruction. ”。

When the words landed, Xiao Lingling let go of the fist that she had clenched.

The angry look on his face was gone. She regained her composure again.

The wind is still howling, blowing up the city gate building, and it can make people's faces hurt.

Xiao Fuling turned around and walked slowly in the direction of going downstairs.

"Go and prepare for the operation, as originally planned, and start the operation a day after the departure of the army. Xiao Fuling walked forward slowly, and at the same time told the thrush and Fan Jinhong behind him in an unhurried and unhurried voice: "Let the thrush master start the prelude first, and invite the leaders of the criminal gangs who have been controlled in the secret to the yamen to drink tea and chat." Of course, it also includes the person in charge of the branch of Heaven and Earth Money Village in this Howling Wind City, who also invited him. ”。
