Chapter 262: War or Peace

Later, arrears of military salaries continued to become a common practice, and every time military salaries were paid without reason, the royal family has only paid military salaries five times in the past year.

In total, the arrears of military salaries of the royal family for more than 400 years have been at least 30 years old, which is equivalent to a disguised reduction in the welfare benefits of the forbidden army.

The royal forbidden army was in arrears of military salaries, and the treatment of the forbidden army was much worse than before, in stark contrast, the princes of the four sides increased their military spending year after year.

Take pure silver coins as an example, a member of the Royal Forbidden Army can now get a salary of only about 5 million silver coins per year, but the members of the Iron Guard in Iron Blood City are as high as 6 million, and the salary of the Falling Moon City Falling Moon Team with the best treatment is as high as 7 million silver coins.

People's military salaries are paid in full, and an extra amount of money will be paid as a bonus at the end of the year.

Almost every year, the Royal Forbidden Army was deducted from the rank of one month, nominally 5 million silver coins, but in fact more than 4 million.

The treatment of more than 4 million silver coins is not low, but as the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places.

Salary and treatment this kind of thing, it can only go up and not down, I TM work hard with you, and the salary you give me is less than one year by year, isn't this Nima Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year.

The soldiers of the Royal Forbidden Army are all Hou Dingbang's brothers who fought bloodily, and now Hou Dingbang has to watch his brothers' salaries and silver being deducted every day, he really can't stand it, so he took the initiative to resign and hand over the power to Hou Ruolan.

Hou Dingbang has retreated, and some of the pinnacles of the forbidden army have also retired.

The older generation of strong people have retired one after another, and the new generation of strong people can't look down on the lame treatment of the Royal Forbidden Army, and would rather vote for local warlords than join the Royal Forbidden Army.

Therefore, most of the members that the Royal Forbidden Army can recruit now are some second-rate masters, and their quality is not as good as Shi Potian's local warlords.

Because of this, Shi Potian dared to admit that he would contradict the royal princess, and if the royal forbidden army allowed the military power of the year, he would not dare to borrow his courage.

General's Palace!

Hou Ruolan returned home angrily, and there was a majestic-looking bearded man sitting in the courtyard.

When the man saw Hou Ruolan returning angrily, he came up and teased: "What kind of bastard is this, bullying our family Ruolan again!"

"Who else can there be!" Hou Ruolan said angrily, "Except for Liu Dayu, the traitor, who has the guts!"

The bearded man became angry directly: "Didn't I tell you, don't talk nonsense with a traitor like Liu Dayu, just greet him with a big-eared scraper, if you quarrel with him, you will be in his way!"

Hou Ruolan said in a deep voice: "It's useless to fight, if only I could stab him!"

"Just stab it!" the bearded man replied with a wry smile, "Your father and I stabbed several traitors in the court back then, and they haven't been going forward and succeeding one after another!"

"The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, if Taizu is alive, these traitorous ministers who have brought disaster to the country and the people will have no chance to show their heads at all!"

"Hey, once a son of heaven and a courtier!" Hou Dingbang also sighed with infinite emotion, "Bear with it a little longer, sooner or later my eldest brother will break through the barrier and revive the empire!"

Regarding Hou Dingbang's emotion, Hou Ruolan could only smile helplessly.

When Mang Tailong was in retreat, Hou Ruolan had not yet been born, and now even Hou Ruolan has cultivated to the peak of powerhouse, and he has not yet seen Taizu.

Now that the court has eroded like this, if Taizu is really alive, how can he sit idly by?

Shi Potian, the city lord of Iron Blood City, openly resisted the holy decree and refused to send troops, causing a shock in the imperial court, and Mang Kongtian only scolded a few traitorous ministers, and did not even dare to say anything about sending troops to quell the rebellion.

Qianzhou City, it has been more than two days since Qin Xuan's 5 million army surrounded the city!

Qin Xuan's ultimatum to the state lord Mang Xueyue was to let Mang Xueyue find out the robbers who had robbed the Falling Moon Immortal materials within three days, and bring the robbers to justice, recover all the looted materials, and pay Qin Xuan twice as many silver coins as a fine.

Qin Xuan looked at the time, there were still three hours before the last time agreed.

Qin Fang said a little impatiently: "Uncle Qin Xuan, I don't think those fierce people are going to bow down and confess, let's go in and teach them a lesson!"

"Don't worry!" Qin Xuan replied tepidly, "I think Mang Blood Moon will definitely give us an explanation!"

"If she wants to give us an explanation, she has already given it, and she has to wait so long?"

Qin Xuan glanced at Qin Fang and asked, "Aren't you mechanical clans known for being patient, and you've only been waiting for three days, you can't wait?"

Qin Fang explained: "I'm not in a hurry, I just think it's too inefficient to stand and wait like this!"

If you want to be patient, ten Qin Xuan together can't beat Qin Fang.

Qin Fang fought monsters in the Mayan Temple, and he was tireless for several months, if it was Qin Xuan, if he repeated a few actions for several months in a row, he would be annoyed to death even if he was not tired to death.

However, while the mechanical family is patient and excellent, it is also very efficient!

What they are most disgusted with is "waste", the waste of resources is a waste, and the waste of time is also a waste of their resources, Qin Xuan surrounded Qianzhou City for three days and three nights without launching an attack, Qin Fang's mind thought that this was a "waste of time".

The City Lord's Mansion of Qianzhou City!

On the throne sat a woman in military uniform in golden armor, who was the state lord of Qianzhou City.

As she sat down, there stood a large group of officials from the state capital, as well as some representatives of the big families of the state capital, gathered together to discuss matters against Qin Xuan.

"Everyone!" Mang Xueyue said to everyone, "In another hour and a half, it will be Qin Xuan's deadline for us, and the Falling Moon Immortal Domain has still not replied!"

"What are we going to do next, I hope everyone will pay a little attention!"

At this time, an official in a red python robe said: "Lord Governor, Qin Xuan came to track down the stolen materials on behalf of Lord Falling Moon Immortal of the West King, and his behavior was inappropriate, but Lord Governor is loyal to His Royal Highness the King of the West (Falling Moon Immortal), how can he openly contradict His Royal Highness the King of the West for this trivial matter?"

"The subordinates think that harmony should be precious!"

Mang Xueyue asked, "What does Lord Lu think it should be?"

Lu Kuan arched his hand and said: "But our state government and all the forces of Qianzhou City will first make up for the shortfall of the 174 cars of materials lost by His Royal Highness the King of the West, and then send capable people to track down the murderer, and after the case is clarified, the murderer will be handed over to Lord King Xiwang for punishment!"
