Cross the bandit to be the emperor

August 27.

On the northeast edge of Dashang, Li Yi and his party began to attack the city again.

In less than a month, wars ignited everywhere in Dashang.

Chapter 196

The first day of September.

Li Yi gained more than [-] points of power of faith in one day.

"Sure enough, the power of faith comes from the war."

Li Yi secretly thought.

It costs a lot!

But the rewards are great too!

In particular, the continuous transfer of troops from the border to the territory by the big merchants has made all the forces on the border ready to move.

The story of Heifengzhai's exchange of divine horses and legendary treasures of heaven and earth has spread all over the world. This exchange requires a large number of people. Finally, a force can't help but attack the city on the border of Dashang, just like an introduction. Many forces have taken action on the gathering place on the border of Dashang.

All of a sudden, the whole big business was even more chaotic.

On the Great Shang Dynasty Hall.

"Let Shenju use the legendary treasures of heaven, material and earth, so that Shenju can quickly replenish its physical strength, and it is no problem to travel a long distance. That method should be used by Heifengzhai to gallop quickly in the territory of Dashang."

A minister said in a complicated tone.

The situation of Dashang is very bad. If this chaos continues, it may affect the country and society.

"We can't go on like this. I think we should launch a general attack! We can't catch up with their horse soldiers, but they can't move in the city of Baiyue. They wantonly attack in Dashang, and we can also destroy them. The foundation of Baiyue!"

said a minister.

"I don't think it's appropriate. Most of their foundations in Baiyue are old and weak women and children exchanged from various forces. This is a burden to them. We kill these old and weak women and children, but reduce their burden and let them Even more unscrupulous, the minister thinks that we should negotiate peace with them, of course, it's just a false talk, but it's actually delaying time."

A minister bowed his hands.

"I believe that the chief officer of the smuggling team in Qinglongzhai should be held accountable. Originally, we and Heifengzhai were secretly forming a balance and wrestling with each other. The person responsible for encircling and suppressing the smuggling team in Qinglongzhai broke this balance and let Heifeng There is a reason for the village to take action, and it will cause a major blow to the big business. How much is the material transported by Qinglongzhai worth? Even if they are transported to Baiyue? Now, the loss of the big business is more than ten times a hundred times more!"

said a minister.

"I think"

The fifth day of September.

A piece of news spread to Baiyue, shocking many forces.

Dashang, due to internal struggles, lost some information. After retrieving it, it was discovered that Qinglongzhai was once one of the four founding halls of Dashang. The forces of the green forest have been wiped out.

Now, the Great Shang court has realized that the attack was wrong. In order to make up for the damage caused to the Qinglong Hall, Qin Yang, the current head of the Qinglong Hall, is specially named the Qinglong King, in charge of everything in Baiyue.

At the same time, it was faintly rumored in Dashang that Qinglongzhai once established various rules among the green forest forces, and even if Qinglongzhai was attacked by the Dashang court, it would not forget to cooperate with the court to kill all the green forest forces.

In short, try to wash Qinglongzhai white.

Don't let the people of the world reject Qinglongzhai too much.

As a result, the people of the world are not allowed to be too repulsive to big businessmen.

As soon as the news came out, all parties were in an uproar.

The current Qinglongzhai is no longer a small force.

In particular, the relationship with Heifengzhai is very close now, and every move has attracted the attention of many forces.

In addition, Da Shang is also a colossus, and every move makes it impossible for many forces to ignore it. Being a king is not a trivial matter. As far as everyone knows, after Da Shang established the country, there are only a handful of kings with different surnames. is a no.

Now, it is such an honor to confer the title of Qinglongzhai's owner as Qinglong King?

"The Dashang has four halls. I have heard about it for a long time, but I don't know where they belong. I didn't expect that Qinglongzhai is one of the four halls of the founding of the Dashang."

"Big merchants finally recognize Qinglongzhai's identity"

"The relationship between Heifengzhai and Qinglongzhai is good. Heifengzhai is a big traitor, and Qinglongzhai is now the Qinglong King of a big merchant. I don't know how the two forces should get along with each other."

Some forces discussed.

"Ah"

In the depths of Baiyue, Qinglong City, Qin Yang laughed at himself.

He Jun, the former second head of Qinglongzhai, had always had a good relationship with each other, and the death of the other party was a big blow to him.

Unexpectedly, the status they had been waiting for for a hundred years in Qinglongzhai was never given by the Dashang court.

After their Qinglongzhai rebelled against Da Shang, Da Shang gave it away.

How mocking?

However, Dashang did not treat Qinglongzhai sincerely by doing such a thing.

It is nothing more than to provoke the relationship between Qinglongzhai and Heifengzhai.

Dashang only whitewashed the power of Qinglongzhai, and did not say how to deal with Heifengzhai. Obviously, Dashang and Heifengzhai are still hostile.

At this time, how should Qinglongzhai choose?

Continue to rebel against the big merchants together with Heifengzhai?

Or accept the status bestowed by Dashang, and distance yourself from Heifengzhai?

It needs to be known that Da Shang is very powerful, even if it is only a nominal status, many forces are elusive. The nominal power can also allow Qinglongzhai to achieve better development in Baiyue.

At this time, the behavior of Qinglongzhai was very subtle.

unfortunately

Da Shang didn't know the identities of Heifengzhai and Qinglongzhai.

Because of the relationship between Li Yi and Qin Wan, in addition, Qin Yang used to take good care of Li Yi, and Li Yi also helped Qinglongzhai a lot. The two forces used to live together in the same city, each established an emperor, and got along very well. harmonious.

It is definitely not something that can be provoked by a big businessman with a paper decree.

On the same day, Qin Yang issued an "imperial decree" that Qinglongzhai was indeed one of the four founding halls of Dashang. However, Dashang broke his promise and did things in the green forest in the early days, but he didn't want to taint the name of the green forest. Jieliang has long since decided to break away from the Great Shang court and establish his own country.

On the Great Shang Dynasty Hall.

After learning the content of Qin Yang's "imperial decree", some ministers were very angry and accused Qin Yang of treason.

But none of them reflected on their attitude and decision towards Qinglongzhai.

Of course, it's just on the surface, they can sit in the courtroom, which one is a fool?

It's just that at this time, they obviously can't stand on the side of Qinglongzhai!

"It is said that Heifengzhai used to be a green forest force in Qingyang Erzhou, and many high-level officials in Heifengzhai came from Qingyang Erzhou's green forest forces. Qinglongzhai used to be a member of the Dashang court. There is no doubt about it. Some gaps cannot be eliminated by Qin Yang's content."

A minister shook his head.

September thirteenth.

The new city built by Heifengzhai was completely completed, and Li Yi named it Gancheng.

The second new city has already started to be built more than 300 miles away, and it has already been named Xuncheng.

The names of the first batch of cities, Li Yi intends to name them from gossip.

The name of the Dagan Dynasty has gradually spread, and the population in Baiyue has exceeded 120 million.

In addition to the power of faith obtained in Dashang territory, Li Yi's daily power of faith has reached [-] points.

It didn't increase too much, because just a few days ago, Li Yi had brought back the top subordinates in Dashang territory.

According to the information they found, Da Shang has sent more than 20 top masters, more than [-] horses, and more than [-] elite soldiers. They have reached the border between Da Shang and Baiyue, and they may invade Baiyue at any time.

Moreover, Da Shang has tamed dozens of golden eagles, and he can also take people into the air.

Dashang also has explosives, or even more.

The advantage of Heifengzhai over big merchants is no longer so obvious.

It is very necessary to gather your subordinates, stop stimulating the big merchants, and ensure the safety of Gancheng.

At this time, Li Yi's power of faith has increased to 50 points.

With each passing day, the strength of Heifengzhai increased significantly.

Now, the benefits he obtained in Dashang territory are already big enough, so there is no need to push too hard.

Even Li Yi was thinking, otherwise, he would lower his face and send his subordinates to discuss with the Dashang court, so that the two sides can maintain peace for a period of time.

Anyway, looking at the actions of Dashang, it also has this meaning.

The number of soldiers in Dagan increased to [-].

It's not that Li Yi doesn't want to increase, but their population, the proportion of old and weak women and children is too large.

He can't recruit all the young men into the army, can he?

The number of [-] has reached a limit.

However, if there are fewer people, the equipment will be easier to solve.

Their original trophies, tidy up, and buy some from outside, are almost done.

However, Li Yi also really felt that the equipment was expensive when it was purchased from various forces.

The same equipment is more expensive in Dashang, but more expensive in Baiyue.

A set of somewhat decent armor costs hundreds of taels of silver.

Liannu, more than 50 taels of silver.

Vests, a bit decent, cost more than 50 taels of silver a pair.

Bows and arrows, more than 50 taels of silver per pair.

It has to be said that war is fighting for money, this sentence is absolutely true.

Many countries are originally good, the country is rich and the people are strong, and if a battle is fought, the vitality will be severely damaged. If they are defeated, even the country and society will be in danger.

Compared with these expensive equipment, the annual expenditure of ordinary people is simply negligible.

A well-armed soldier is very expensive.

Of course, if you produce it yourself, the cost will be much less.

It is a pity that there are not many forces in Baiyue that can produce their own equipment. It is difficult to train a qualified craftsman. Even if he is trained, if he is captured in a war, he may be trained for the enemy. This also makes few forces willing to train craftsmen.

The equipment they produce themselves is also difficult to compare with that of big merchants.

Over time, they are more willing to buy equipment from big merchants.

Li Yi can upgrade some craftsmen to create equipment, but the production speed is too slow, and the raw materials are limited, so he can only make equipment as a reserve while buying it from other forces.

Moreover, Li Yi mostly upgrades craftsmen to create high-power equipment, such as bed crossbows, super-powerful crossbows and other weapons. If you have money and have no place to buy such weapons, it is natural to give priority to making them, so you don't have much energy to make ordinary ones. Equipped.

Thirty-five thousand soldiers.

Thirty thousand of them are junior figures.

Five thousand are intermediate, advanced and top figures.

The overall quality is not too high.

But Li Yi has more than 50 power of faith, and can promote [-] junior people to intermediate people at any time, so he is not too worried.

In Gancheng, there must be many people who are spies of various forces.

It is impossible for Li Yi to use the power of faith on everyone, nor is it possible to pay attention to everyone's loyalty all the time.

With more than 100 million people, it is impossible for Li Yi to keep an eye on everyone's movements.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some news will spread.

Not to upgrade all the soldiers to the intermediate level or above, on the one hand, the time is still short, if the promotion is too strong, it is easy to arouse the suspicion and fear of all forces, on the other hand, it will also consume too much power of faith, in case, he temporarily If there are other needs, it may not be enough.

September fourteenth.

Li Yi gained [-] points of power of faith.

September fifteenth.
