I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 254 Envy

 Sanhe's army went out to war, and it was not just Sanhe's local suppliers who made a fortune.

Merchants from the Nanyang area came after hearing the news. Large ships lined up along Zu'an Town all the way to Baiyun City, and bag after bag of grain was unloaded from the ship.

Most of this food comes from Ayu Kingdom, and many ship owners are even from Ayu people. The former enemies have actually become partners in front of them.

 They came over with food, and then brought back boatloads of porcelain and silk.

 After Sanhe occupied Hongzhou, many porcelain kilns were transformed into official kilns in a grand manner, and Sanhe Chief Secretary Yamen gained a lot of income.

Shanqi is still in a tight situation, but it is much better than before.

Moreover, this time the prince and I were extremely generous and gave the 520,000 silver donated by Prince Qing to the Chief Secretary's Yamen.

 Finally, we can pay the officers and soldiers the monthly payment that they have been owed for two months!

 Otherwise, he is really afraid that the officers and soldiers will cause trouble. Everyone has to support their families and is under great pressure.

What's the use of just talking about loyalty if you don't talk about money?

At this moment, he sat comfortably on the chair and said to Xing Keshou, "Mr. How about next?”

 When it comes to criminal laws, the most powerful thing about Sanhe is its strict compliance with punishments.

However, the old man always refused to go into the Chief Secretary's Yamen to sit in the hall, and Shi Quan, who had been the general magistrate, was always in charge.

Shi Quan went to Nanzhou a few days ago, and Shanqi was too busy, so he could only appeal to Xing Keshou again.

Xing Keshu sighed and said, "I can only do it with difficulty."

The day Xing Keshou sat in court was the day Lin Yi set out for the north.

He Jixiang and Xiao Xizi were lined up on the left and right of Lin Yi who was riding a donkey, and were surrounded by two hundred cavalry in front and behind.

Although the number of people is small, they are all fifth grade or above, and there are two great masters, Ye Qiu and Blind Man.

As for Hong Ying and Wen Zhaoyi, they stayed behind in Sanhe.

When Lin Yi got tired from riding the donkey, he would lie down on the carriage and sleep from morning to night. This comfortable life only lasted for half a month.

 As soon as we entered Nanzhou, the road was not repaired and the journey was bumpy.

 In summer, it rains a lot and is muddy everywhere. When encountering mountain roads, many mountain roads are blocked by stones and mud rolled down from the mountains.

 Fortunately, the people kept coming and going, and they cleared the way, so not much time was wasted.

Even so, it took more than a month to reach Qingyuan City.

 “Ahem.”

 Very early in the morning, Lin Yi kept coughing.

 “Your Majesty,”

Xiao Xizi burst into tears of distress, "Dr. Hu has gone to the north. I can't trust this quack doctor in Qingyuan City."

 “Damn it, it rained a little, it’s just a cold, it’ll be fine after a while,”

Lin Yi was sitting in the main seat of the Yamen, covering his mouth and coughing, and asked intermittently, "Has Shen Chu entered Yong'an?"

Pan Duo knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Bao Kui, Shen Chu, and Ji Zhuo have joined forces.

 In addition, King Nanling sent a message. "

He held the letter high. Xiao Xizi was about to pick it up, but Lin Yi said, "Just tell me the content directly."

 Liu Baixian knelt down and took a step forward and said, "I will lower my rank to Liu Baixian."

Lin Yi said, "We have known each other for a long time, so don't talk nonsense."

"yes,"

Liu Baixian hurriedly said, "The King of Nanling is willing to discuss the righteous cause with the prince and raise his troops to go north!"

Lin Yidao, "What about Yong'an?

 Give it to him?

He wouldn't have such a big spring and autumn dream, would he? "

Liu Baixian said, "In Yong'an and Wuzhou, the King of Nanling is willing to divide the river and rule with the prince. The King of Nanling will live in the north of the Yangtze River, and the prince will live in the south of the Yangtze River."

Lin Yi asked, "Tiannian?"

 There are two major rivers in Daliang State, one is Huangshui and the other is Tianqi.

The natural chasm is the dividing line between Yongan and Wuzhou.

 Liu Baixian said, "Yes."

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Is he so generous?"

 Liu Bai bowed his head and said nothing.

 Whether your brother is generous or not, don’t you know better than me?

 “My lord, this is seeking skin from a tiger!”

 Jiang Zhen said loudly, "Let's fight directly."

Lin Yi looked at He Jixiang and said, "What do you mean?"

He Jixiang said, "It's better to be conceited and tolerant first."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Reply to King Nanling, and the matter is settled. Let's work hard together to kill the third son."

 Liu Baixian said, "I will obey my orders."

 Then he hesitated and said, "Master Wulin wants to see the prince!"

 “Hmph, he can see this king whenever he wants?”

Lin Yi said angrily, "I gave him a chance before, but he didn't cherish it. This is no wonder to me."

 Liu Baixian said, "Your Majesty is wise."

 He could only mourn for Ulin.

As long as he is with the prince for one day, Ulin will have no chance to turn over.

Lin Yi stayed in Qingyuan City for ten days. His cold was completely cured, and then he headed north again.

Not long after leaving Qingyuan City, we received news that Shen Chu had captured Yong'an.

Lin Yi is most concerned about the treasury of Wulin City. It is the richest place in the world. It is impossible for rats to run into the treasury, right?

He rode on the donkey and said slowly, "If we lose money in this Northern Expedition, we will never do it again."

He Jixiang put the note in his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will seize the Seven Cities of Yong'an along the way and get more than one million taels of silver!"

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Didn't those rebels get the upper hand?"

He Jixiang said, "Your Majesty, there were heavy troops stationed before Yong'an, and the city was high and the pond was deep. Huang Sifang and others only captured one city, Kuocang City. Now that they heard that our Sanhe army had entered, they had already fled in panic.

Shen Chu did not stop them and allowed them to enter Wuzhou.

 At that time, Mei Jingzhi will have a headache. "

Lin Yidao said, "Let me write to Shen Chu. When you enter Wuzhou, you must not be careless. Prince Nanling and Mei Jingzhi are not easy to get along with."

 He Jixiang should be handed over.

We walked quickly and slowly all the way, and when we arrived at Wulin City, it was already late summer.

He really envied those who could fight on the battlefield and experience what it means to be a warrior. He really wanted to feel what it felt like, but it was a pity that he had never seen what the enemy looked like until now.

As soon as he entered the city, he saw Yong'an civil and military officials kneeling at the city gate.

 He wanted to lament for the twelfth King Yong'an. It should have been the treatment that he, the King of Yong'an, should have enjoyed.

 “Why did this city gate collapse?”

Lin Yi ignored the officials, but looked at the damaged city gate tower and said heartbrokenly, "Don't you need money for explosives?

 Put that much? "

 “Little guilty!”

Bao Kui, who stayed behind in Wulin City, knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath. This shocked the Yong'an civil and military officials next to him that such a "fierce god" could even be afraid!

Yong'an Commander-in-Chief Lu Tonghong just complained and was beheaded by Bao Kui!

 There is not even a chance to argue.

Lin Yi said helplessly, "It's collapsed like this. If we repair it later, I don't know how much money it will cost."

 This has to be taken out of his pocket!

Bao Kui said with a sarcastic smile, "My lord, please forgive me."

He never thought about repairing the city wall.

With him commanding three thousand officers and soldiers to garrison Wulin City, what use is the city wall?

Not to mention there are more than 5,000 civilians here!

The dynamite at the city gate was set by these bastards!

He was still too careless and allowed them to rush into the city first.
