Throughout the nine years of Long'an, there was a smell of gunpowder smoke floating in Daliang.

At the end of May, the imperial court, represented by King Yan, met with the thirteen righteous merchants who had held the first batch of beacon-fire tickets as representatives, and announced the expiration of the first batch of beacon-fire tickets. At the same time, the "Long'an Bank" approved by Li Feng's imperial pen was established.

The main bank was set up in the capital, and branches were set up in various places. Before the branches were built, the government was responsible for collecting and redeeming the expired beacon tickets. The next day, Long'an Bank disclosed several alternative payment methods.

It can be redeemed in cash, or you can open an account at Long'an Bank to exchange the banknotes into deposit silver, which can be converted into Longan banknotes that can be used throughout the country. If the share reaches a certain standard, if you are willing, you can also exchange it from the official factory held by the Canal Office.

All the shares and all the prices were listed, which turned out to be a thick account book, which made Fang Qin and others grit their teeth and feel that this was something that King Yan had already thought about.

Previously, there were various banks in Daliang, including private private banks and government banks opened by imperial merchants, which were specially used for official foreign trade and exchange, etc. Long'an Bank was forced to withdraw its bank account, and most of the government banks were forcibly merged.

King Yan changed his previous gentle and gentle image. After returning from the battle, he felt as if he had been possessed by something. He became mad and crazy day after day.

Although Huang Shang has the word "Emperor" in his name, most of them are members of major aristocratic families. When he wants to bully others, he always remembers that he has an "Emperor" above him. When he wants to line his own pockets, only "Shang" is left in his body.

, I am used to not distinguishing between public and private affairs, and I cannot distinguish between mud and water in the account books. The entanglement of interests cannot be explained clearly for three days and three nights. I have long regarded the official property as my own family property. Who would have thought that things would change overnight, and I would be treated so unfairly.

"Deprived of family property" indiscriminately?

From May to August, there was a lot of excitement in the court every day.

A leader of a government village acted as a leader and resisted to death. He was immediately found out for fraud and corruption and was imprisoned. His house was ransacked and investigated. His wife was originally pregnant with Liujia, so she had to travel around for days because of this matter. She was already weak, and she had a miscarriage, leaving one dead and two dead.

Life.

My mother-in-law is an old lady. When she celebrated her 70th birthday, the late emperor personally mentioned her as "old birthday girl". She got a daughter at such an old age and she was so pampered that she couldn't stand it. At that time, she was clamoring to hang herself in front of the plaque inscribed by the late emperor.

There was a huge uproar for a while, and all the princes in the capital wanted to pull King Yan out and skin him and cramp him.

While Fang Qin was running around, he cleverly asked Prince Yan, who had the identity of Tianhuang noble, to point the finger directly at the Military Aircraft Department, contact the six ministries and various forces, and jointly submitted a joint letter angrily denounced the 16 crimes of the Military Aircraft Department, and the crowd passionately demanded that the emperor abolish the "Military Aircraft Department"

"Wartime Provisional Agencies".

Of course, the person behind the Military Aircraft Department is not a mere commander, and of course he wants to fight back. All the dirty things that have happened over the years are shaken to the table. It is full of open and secret arrows, fighting to the death, even if you have never been in it, you can just walk by.

You have to take one or two stray arrows.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the situation has become extremely intense. Even a cautious person like Jiang Chong has been involved in a case and has been suspended from his duties pending investigation.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor seemed to be impartial, but in fact he was secretly protecting King Yan, otherwise he would not have remained unmoved through all the hardships.

It was such a noisy night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As usual, Li Feng was going to the harem for a family banquet. On the way, he met the third prince. No matter how strict a person is, he can still be somewhat tolerant towards his youngest son. Li Feng rarely called him over with tenderness and took him into his hands.

The prince, like his brothers, was afraid of his father and did not dare to say a word. He tried his best to reach for his hand and trotted to follow his footsteps. After a while, his face turned red.

The chamberlain had no choice but to remind him, and then Li Feng lowered his head and saw his youngest son's trembling appearance. For some reason, he remembered the day when King Yan was sitting on the grass making grass and bugs for the little thing.

Li Feng: "Go and call King Yan into the palace for a family dinner."

The waiter on one side hurriedly responded, but after running around for a long time, he didn't bring anyone back.

"Your Majesty, this servant has not found His Highness King Yan."

Li Feng frowned: "Aren't you at the military aircraft?"

The chamberlain said cautiously: "Isn't there something happened with Mr. Jiang recently? Someone is making noises about dismantling the military machine department. His Highness said that he was avoiding suspicion and stopped his daily affairs for the past two days... Isn't the apology sheet still on your desk?

Up?"

Li Feng rubbed his eyebrows and remembered this: "I didn't go to look for it at home? The palace? And the Marquis Anding's mansion..."

"Found it," the chamberlain whispered, "My family said that the prince has left the city to go to the Huguo Temple. He has been in Master Mingran's Zen monastery for the past two days."

Li Feng: "..."

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, thousands of families were reunited, but Prince Yan, who was under one person and above ten thousand people, actually stayed alone under a poor monk with a green lantern and an ancient Buddha.

...There are also a group of people who are eyeing him and trying every possible way to bring him down.

Li Feng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he was impressed by Chang Geng's categorical "willing to serve Lord Shang" in the imperial garden that day, he was also troubled by the trouble caused by King Yan's excessive methods during this period. The purpose of punishing Jiang Chong this time was to remind him that he was almost done and restrained appropriately.

.But what was not the taste at this time gradually changed in Li Feng's heart. King Yan was still a member of the Li family no matter what. Even if what he did during this period was too hasty, it was just to plug the hole in the imperial court, not to mention the whole world.

Wang Tu, as the emperor, he didn't say anything. These nobles, nobles and ministers were rushing to jump in. It seems that they don't take the royal family seriously.

At that time, Li Feng knew that Wang Bao had a problem, but when Tan Hongfei came to question him aggressively in Beidaying, he still angrily protected Uncle Wang Guo in the palace. This was because Li Feng was naturally a soft-spoken person, and he was willing to take action to maintain balance.

It's one thing, but it's another thing for the major families to join forces to deal with King Yan this time.

"Some people go too far," Li Feng thought.

However, before the seed in the emperor's heart could germinate, that night, a major event happened thousands of miles away——

The Western navy, which had retreated to offshore ports, was still sending festive greetings to the Jiangbei garrison in a pretentious manner the day before. The dew had not yet dried on the nondescript flowers they sent, but they turned against them the next day, and the rebellion was planned for a long time and went all out.

A large-scale invasion of Daliang and Liangjiang garrison.

Since Gu Yun took charge of Liangjiang, the patrol requirements of the local garrison have basically been the standards of the Xuantie Battalion. Although the wildfires in the backyard of the imperial court have been burning during this period, Jiangbei Jiao, Eagle and light and heavy armor and other major military services are all loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

state of readiness.

It was night, and the southeast watchtower, which was closely watching the movements of the enemy troops, was the first to notice the strange movements of the Western navy. It immediately turned on the alarm lights, and the extremely bright white light shot through the dark water like a rainbow. There was no need to wait for the commander's order, and finally

The swarms of short dragons on the front line will gather immediately, and iron fences for wartime defense will be quickly propped up on the water near the ground. At the same time, sentries reporting the news will fly directly from the watchtower to the commander's tent.

On the main ship of the Western Army, Mr. Ya rushed in out of breath: "Your Majesty, they have been closely monitoring our army and they have been discovered."

"That's normal." The pope didn't raise his eyes. "Last time, their coach just passed away and there was no handover between the old and new leaders. We succeeded once by luck. Now the Liang Army is very regular. Gu Yun is in charge again. It's better not to think about it.

Unrealistically good luck, go, now that the other party has noticed, say hello to our , sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, the orderly soldiers were already rushing to convey the order.

Mr. Ya frowned: "Your Majesty, I was wondering... could we have chosen an inappropriate time? Why can't we wait a little longer? Daliang is also facing the same power transfer problem as the Holy Land. Maybe after a while

Time, there may be opportunities for them to take advantage of..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud noise came from outside - the fast-moving forward battleship opened fire!

The firing was out of control, and explosions resounded one after another. Mr. Ya shuddered and realized that he had to focus on the battle. After all, he had suffered heavy losses at the hands of Gu Yun.

The Pope briefly removed his gaze from his clairvoyance and turned to Mr. Ya: "I have a hunch that this is the best time - move forward at full speed!"

The black shadow-like sea monster pushed away the icy seawater like a tsunami. It had been dormant and salivating for a long time. It once again rushed towards the border of Daliang with its ferocious claws.

However, this time, the weak Daliang navy was no longer what it used to be.

In the Liangjiang garrison, the sentry had just taken over the position of the sentry from his dead old comrade. It was the first time he had to play the role of the commander's eyes and ears in such a critical moment. When he heard the sound of gunfire behind him, he thought for a moment that he was too late.

The military plane made a violent dive with the eagle armor carried on its back. When it landed, it ran for dozens of steps and could not stop. The comrades patrolling the camp around the commander's camp stretched out their hands to support him.

"Urgent military situation, I want to see the commander..." The sentry looked panicked when a hand that was supporting him suddenly lifted up and touched his head.

The sentry was startled, and when he looked up, he realized that the person he thought was in charge of defense was Gu Yun himself.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just a defeated general." Gu Yun patted the back of his neck, smiled at the young sentinel and said, "Let's go, follow me and meet them."

In the time of these two sentences, all the land armor soldiers and light cavalry in the entire camp had been fully equipped. Countless eagle armors lit up with purple fire in the dark night. Gu Yun gave a long whistle, and the flying eagle soared into the sky with murderous intent.

"Long Jiao and Short Jiao form three to five, leaving the port!"

"The eagle mounts a white rainbow on the iron fence."

"What else is there?" Gu Yun held the wind-cutting blade behind him as if it were a decoration, and rubbed his chin, "Oh, by the way, there are also those who sent it back to Lingshu Academy."

The snacks are ready. When you get tired after a while, you can also give some chews to your old friends who have come from afar."

The Western troops arrived suddenly, but the response of the troops stationed in Liangjiang was not hasty.

On one side was the Pope who had regrouped and had traveled across the ocean from the Holy Land, and on the other was the miraculous Marquis of Anding Gu Yun in folklore. The two finally faced each other head-on when they were evenly matched and there were no other people waiting to cause trouble.

Gu Yun was not a young man like Chang Geng who dared to go into battle with a mouthful of blood. He methodically opened the battle line on the shore and on the water, testing the enemy's main ship with both virtual and real intentions.

It's a pity that we met an opponent. This time, the person commanding the battle was not Mr. Ya, the coward who took a mallet seriously. Old Jiang was very spicy. Gu Yun teased him several times. A group of short dragon regiments who attacked by sneak attack almost took away the enemy's right wing several times. The enemy

The Chinese main ship reacted quickly and immediately closed in.

The Western sea monster looks bulky, but in fact, this behemoth is not only highly defensive, but also covered in thorns. The ugly iron armor on the surface is opened, and the muzzle is connected to the muzzle. The inside of the sea monster can be filled with unimaginable purple gold.

Ammunition, even flying eagles and even small dragons.

With such a thing, the flying eagle can drop supplies at will, suppressing opponents from the air wherever it goes. At the same time, its control and cohesion of the surrounding sea dragons are irreplaceable. Like a queen bee or ant queen, it can perfectly

Gather together a group of subordinates who are not very smart and have varying levels of skills.

Gu Yun said to Yao Zhen beside him: "Did you see it? It's neat enough. The autonomy of the left and right wings has been replaced by the big guy in the middle - it seems that the Pope has finally packed up the troublemaker among them and sunk into the sea."

Yao Chongze looked worried: "Commander, they are the ones who have been shy about asking for peace talks. Why are you suddenly turning your back now?"

Gu Yun licked his lips: "I guess the situation in their country has changed, and someone gave them a tube of chicken blood. I know a little about that old guy's style. At first, he liked to bombard the way wildly, and it was also a test. Once it failed,

, will adjust immediately, but you see today he is not so confident. If the supplies are not particularly abundant, he would not dare to be so confident. The supplies should be taken from the Japanese side through the open sea, and we are beyond our capabilities over there."

Yao Zhen's mind was very clear and he immediately said: "Commander, if that's the case, force resistance is not the way for us. The railway track has not been repaired yet. Even if it is adjusted now, it may not be in time. What should we do?"

The artillery fire of the Western Army spread fiercely across the river and sea, and for a time the water surface was burned like the legendary Abi Hell. The free purple gold was turned into ashes in the hearts of all the iron monsters and turned into a thin white mist of steam, rolling in the tiny impurities and

The smoke from the artillery rose into the sky, and soon the moonlit night sky with few stars was covered with a layer of haze, water accumulated in clouds, and in the latter half of the night, it actually started to rain.

At this time, a messenger came running all the way: "Commander, the sea squid is ready!"
