Chapter 1900: The Emperor's Thunder Tactics There is a lot of chaos
With the three princes of the Moon Shadow in control of the elite troops, the coup d'état in the Kingdom of Moon Shadow went silent. But in the Qiankun Empire, a series www.biquge.info of changes are earth-shattering, and in the hearts of the top leaders of the empire, it is even more terrifying than the earthquake a few years ago.
At the same time as the price of alkali soared, Emperor Qiankun suddenly issued several appointments. The Jin family and the Ren family, two families that have been greatly favored in recent years, have gained huge benefits. Took over the military department and finance, respectively.
The marshal and the old marquis were already retired, but they were still in charge. However, in this appointment, all their rights were taken away, and they were not allowed to meddle in any work in the future.
Not only that, but Feng Xuanzhang of the Imperial Academy was also removed from the position of dean on the grounds of being too old. He was succeeded by royalty.
These appointments immediately caused a huge impact among the upper echelons of the empire, all the nobles were talking about it in private, and almost every high-ranking had a feeling that a storm was coming. Many families began to restrain their children and became cautious. The entire imperial capital was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Only one day later, a number of mid- and low-ranking officers in the Praetorian Guard and the City Defense Army were adjusted. This was followed by a series of eye-popping appointments.
Wu Tianfeng of the Seventh Army was transferred to the military department, Wei Ning of the Sixth Army was transferred to the military department, and Chen Xuangan of the third army was transferred to the military department. The commanders of the three major legions were the Hong family, the Huang family, and the Yang family, which were good friends with the Jin family and the Ren family.
At the same time as several corps commanders, there were also a large number of middle- and low-ranking officers in the three major corps, as well as several deputy corps commanders.
The emperor's order was issued so quickly that Wu Tianfeng and the others didn't have time to react, and they were directly forcibly asked to leave by the personnel sent by the military department with an emergency order. They can't refuse at all, otherwise it will be disobedience and a great crime of betraying the empire, and there won't be many soldiers below to help them.
With the telegraph, the transmission of information was almost instantaneous, spreading throughout the empire almost in a day. The lords and high-ranking people everywhere were in an uproar, what is the emperor going to do?
At this time, although the empire still appeared to be calm on the surface, an undercurrent was already accumulating, especially among the nobility, and many people began to inquire around, and people panicked.
But that's not all, the Emperor's thunderous means are not over yet. After adjusting the three major legions, the emperor immediately ordered Dingbei Hou to take the Eighth Army to the Black Mountain Fortress to replace the Third Army. The Third Army Corps was divided into three and stationed in Zhengxing, Nanjiang and Dongfang, nominally to protect the railway.
At this time, many high-level officials understood that the emperor was targeting the star leader. Almost all of the personnel who have been adjusted on a large scale are good friends with Jiang Xingchen. And the railway line needs to be protected, how can there be war between countries now? Besides, everyone has a city guard, where is the need to mobilize field regiments.
Let's take a look at the place where you choose to be stationed, Zheng Xingling, the three leaders in the east, and the Nanjiang Ling, which one is not the hardcore of the Xingchen Ling. There was also a Qi Yue Commander, but it was just behind the Sixth Legion.
The lords and high-ranking officials from all over the country broke out in a cold sweat, the emperor was determined to move the star leader, otherwise it would be impossible to adjust the marshal, the old marquis, and the captains of several major legions. Maybe this is a game that has been laid out a long time ago, otherwise how could he hold several major armies in his hands so quickly, and it would be good not to make a mutiny.
Of course, Xingchen Ling is not a vegetarian, once there is a conflict...... The families who almost understood it were secretly stockpiling food and weapons, and they already sensed that the empire was going to be in chaos......
In the city hall of the Star Lord, there are a large number of telegrams on Mei'er's desk. They were all sent back from all over the world in the past two days. Compared with the skyrocketing alkali price, the price increase and lack of iron ore have a greater impact on Xingchenling. Steel is used in railways, steel bars, weapons, all kinds of large machinery, ships, and house construction.
Xingchen Leader does have a few iron ores in his hands, but it is difficult to meet the needs of two major steel mills and two small steel mills at the base. A large amount of iron ore needs to be purchased every year. It's okay to just increase the price now, but once there is a resource interruption like soda ash, the impact will be great.
Mei'er frowned, her expression solemn. What she is worried about at the moment is not soda ash and steel, Jiang Xingchen's previous overseas layout has given Xingchen a lot of room to retreat. Now she was thinking about the next steps for the Empire.
There is no doubt that the Emperor is determined to attack the Star Leader. The first step is to limit raw materials and resources and control the development of Xingchenling. Then came a series of rapid personnel adjustments, using thunderous means to take down all the allies of the Star Lord. When she received the news, Mei'er was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to play so badly. As a result, within the empire, the Star Lords were isolated.
"Next, I'm afraid they're going to have to do something with transportation!" Mei'er tapped the table with two fingers of her right hand, this is a habit she learned from Jiang Xingchen, and this is how he thinks about it.
"Miss Mei'er, urgent telegram!" A subordinate called from the door.
Mei'er raised her head, beckoned her subordinates to come in, and then picked up the telegram and looked at it, her eyes shrinking. In the territory of the Red Rock Territory to the east, the transportation team of the Star Leader was robbed by bandits, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and all the iron ore was looted. Now the Lord of Red Rock is searching for bandits.
"Bandits? They're going to do it!" Mei'er crumpled the telegram in her hand and slammed it on the table......
In the next three days, telegrams continued to be sent from all over the country, almost all of them were news that the supplies had been hijacked by bandits, and as many as 200 million citrine coins were lost in three days, and even the railway lines were destroyed! For a time, the empire changed from peaceful and stable to chaotic, as if bandits were rampant everywhere.
The first thing that was affected was the construction of the metropolis, where the stock of raw materials ran out and they had no work to do.
For this reason, Duan Qingshi personally found Mei'er and asked what to do. Mei'er's reply to him was: temporarily stop work, let the craftsmen rest first, and pay the wages!
Mei'er made such a promise, and Duan Qingshi had nothing to say, so he could only go back and make arrangements. Mei'er then issued an order to shift the focus of production at the steel plant to weapons. Moreover, he specially mobilized more than 300 private soldiers to be responsible for the protection along the way, and sent the parts produced to the weapons factory in the new industrial base of Minggang City.
She had already received the letter from Qin Manwu and the Three Princes of the Moon Shadow, and she also knew that the two countries were now under tremendous pressure, especially on the Moon Shadow side, and the Three Princes had to control it strongly. So it is necessary to have a sufficient number of weapons.
Just as Mei'er was giving a series of orders, Grandpa Fu, Wanrou, and many high-ranking officials in the territory came to her and asked how to deal with the situation in front of her. Now the Star Leader is too passive, and the loss of citrine coins every day alone is as high as tens of millions.
Mei'er looked calm and told everyone indifferently: "Don't do anything, wait!" (To be continued.) )
