Chapter 577: Start Again
The dark forces did not disappear. They survived and lurked throughout the empire, eyeing Changshan County and all the benefits that could be seized.
Therefore, as soon as the war ended, Lin Wen immediately began to expand his army, strengthen defense, and enhance military strength.
After receiving a large number of remaining imperial forces, Lin Wen decided to reorganize the troops.
The local army of Changshan County was organized into the Changshan Defense Army, led by Fang Dashan, Wang Zhengwu, and He Shangsheng.
This is the core force of Changshan County, composed of soldiers with high military and ideological qualities. Its expansion and training of new recruits are very strict.
In the future, Lin Wen plans to build them into the most scientific army.
The remnants of the Royal Guards, the East Qinzhou Guards and the scattered remnants were reorganized into the Revenge Army, led by Guo Feng, Cheng Li, Xu Feili, and Yang Jiewei.
Of course, both armies were managed by the Changshan County Headquarters.
The commander-in-chief is naturally Lin Wen himself, the chief of staff is still Qin Luoshuang, the logistics director is Xiao Zhizhong, and the intelligence director is Chang Yuankai. The latter two are the core backbone of Li Linyue's princess faction.
The princess's faction suffered such a disaster that only one in ten members are left. Only the most loyal "knights" who followed the princess wholeheartedly remain. All the speculators and lucky breakers have disappeared like sand submerged by the waves.
But the remaining people are even more pure. They are real gold refined in the fire. The reason they follow the princess is to protect her existence, identify with her ideas, and get used to her management.
Most of them do not expect the princess to marry them, but rather have feelings similar to those of the blond man Philip. If you have to say it, it is the feelings between brothers and sisters, subordinates, ministers, and knights.
Among them, those who support the Lin-Li pairing already account for the majority.
In their opinion, Lin Wen is the perfect marriage partner for the princess. His Majesty is in a coma, and Lin Wen has become the backbone of the imperial faction. The first princess is the banner of the imperial faction.
Isn’t it just right for a flagpole to match a flag?
Moreover, they also found out that Lin Wen had publicly announced many times that he was an ardent pursuer of the First Princess, and the First Princess had also given him secret support in various aspects many times.
Isn’t this a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven?
Is there anything better than this?
Of course, Li Linyue reacted coldly to this, and they understood it very well. As the most beautiful jewel on the imperial crown, she always had this attitude.
But they were very surprised that Lin Wen did not pursue her passionately.
Of course, no one came to persuade Li Linyue. How could the number one princess chase a man? Did she have to ask me in person if I could marry you?
Who do you think you are? A fairy? Waiting for the princess to speak, dream on.
So, a lot of people came to persuade Lin Wen.
In their hearts, they probably thought that Lin Wen didn't know how to pursue the princess, so they shared all their years of experience with him, which made Lin Wen very annoyed.
Fortunately, Li Linyue immediately restrained their behavior, and put Lin Wen's three questions about getting married in a different way, telling them that the first thing to do now was to accumulate strength and take revenge on all the perpetrators.
In addition to the various ongoing tasks, the restoration and expansion of the Princess Faction is also imperative.
In the empire, there must be many survivors who miss the emperor and the princess. Gathering them under the banners of the emperor faction and the princess faction is what they need to do most now.
These words successfully convinced them, and they were accustomed to accepting the princess's leadership. Although the princess had made a mistake in a key decision once, at that time, no one thought about it more deeply. The credibility of the Supreme Council made them subconsciously believe that the Great Elder would not go back on his word.
The First Princess's leadership was correct most of the time, and since she first formed the Princess Faction at the age of seventeen, the Princess Faction has been expanding and developing at a rapid pace.
So, they immediately began to take action in this regard. Although the empire had basically restored order at this time, it was still hunting down and clearing out the remnants of the imperial faction and the remnants of Dongqinzhou.
However, their pursuit reached Changshan County for this purpose.
One traitor is just a traitor, but this group of traitors can only be called people with different opinions.
Thus, these remnants are gathering towards the Empire from all directions.
How to pick them up as quickly as possible, help them escape pursuit and flee into Changshan County became the most important issue for these people.
After all, one more person means more strength, and revenge can be taken against the Supreme Council and the elders and commanders more quickly.
After Li Linyue once again set the rules, order and direction for the Princess Faction, the Princess Faction developed rapidly again, but the difference this time was that there were no more speculators and ambitious people entering the top level.
The core members of the princess faction who have been tested by fire have united closely and continue to develop their power and become lick dogs for the prince they protect.
As the leader of the Princess Faction, the Emperor Faction also recovered quickly. Li Longxing's ward became the new imperial palace, and the emperor's wife and children could finally live together.
Ah Xi finally came out of his sadness and even felt happier and more peaceful than before. Changshan County is a very strange place. Although it is far less prosperous and powerful than Shenjing, it has a strange power that can make people feel at ease.
She sat by Li Longxing's bed every day, looking at her husband's calm face. His little daughter and son were around him, and the royal guards were guarding all around. But there were no disgusting elders, imperial officials, imperial officers, nor the chilling great elders and imperial garrisons.
The people of Changshan County are simple, harmonious, and friendly, without the ugliness of being corrupt and immersed in money or power.
Ah Xi felt the peace and joy he had not felt for a long time. Except for Long Xing who did not wake up, their dream seemed to have come true.
What was a little annoying was that there were often many old and young members of the royal faction who came to meet the emperor. Seeing them crying and prostrating themselves on the ground, Ah Xi felt unhappy.
In their eyes, Longxing seemed to have become a symbol, a symbol, or something else.
Rather than one person.
Ah Xi really wanted to kick them all out.
But she also knew that this wouldn't work.
They need more powerful forces. Currently, everything is carried by the kid from Changshan County.
well.
How can there be a peaceful life? It’s just that someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.
Ah Xi sighed softly, remembering that someone had told her some time ago that Lin Wen was a super fanatical pursuer of the princess, and she was thinking about marrying Lin Yue to him.
Someone should take care of this girl. She messes around everywhere every day and doesn't act like a girl at all.
During this period, the young master Li Yuchen also recovered from the huge blow. He wanted to actively participate in the careers of his sister and his idol Lin Wen, but was strictly restricted by Li Linyue and was not allowed to interfere in any affairs related to the restoration of the country.
Li Yuchen had no choice but to go to the Changshan County Government Hall every day, where he met Fang Weiwei, the number one female anchor of Yumaohu, and met Qi Mu, who was finally able to devote himself to the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" project. Tenglibaba's new game attracted him at once.
Every day after that, Li Yuchen spent time in the Network Technology Department, watching them write code, make models, and draw beauties.
Even take the initiative to participate and help them test the game.
The little princess Li Qingyue also gradually adapted to life in Changshan County.
But as soon as the panic, fear and sadness faded away, she felt a huge sense of crisis. Everyone around her seemed to be certain that her sister would marry her older brother in the future.
She wanted to go and do something bad, but she was grounded by her mother and couldn't go anywhere.
Fortunately, Li Qingyue was smart enough to come up with a good excuse: "I'll go get to know Big Brother and help him pursue Sister."
Only then was he released by his mother, but he was not allowed to go anywhere except to Lin Wen's place.
With this privilege, Li Qingyue felt relieved for the time being. She did not set off immediately, but returned to the Mayu girls' community that she frequented most and posted a request for help.
"Sisters, what should I do if a third person interferes with my life and the life of my future husband?"
——
Lin Wen was unaware of all this, as he was so busy that he was almost ascending to heaven.
Gang, Yang Shaohu and Huang Mingxiao settled the soldiers of the Revenge Army.
They were given houses and residences to accommodate their families.
Camps, training grounds, and military barracks were arranged.
After settling a host of matters, including military equipment and supplies, the army was finally incorporated into Changshan County's battle sequence.
Then immediately faced financial problems.
During the civil war, logistics were interrupted, and Changshan County's large-scale industries had a large backlog of products, and the capital chain was about to be broken.
Lin Wen frantically urged the Six Nations Group to send a ship immediately to transport the goods.
However, due to the turmoil in the empire, the Imperial Navy exchanged fire with their ships during the civil war, causing damage to both sides. The two sides are arguing over this matter, so trade cannot be resumed for the time being.
What's worse is that most regions of the empire united to boycott Changshan County's products, which was clearly not allowed according to the Trade Act formulated by Li Longxing.
If the products of large-scale industries cannot be sold, the consequences will be terrible.
In desperation, Lin Wen could only call the Great Elder.
Generally speaking, it is impossible to get through to this kind of call, even if you know the number.
But as soon as Lin Wengang dialed, the other party picked up the call immediately.
"Lin Wen." This was the voice of the Great Elder Ping Yuan. "Is there anything wrong?"
Lin Wen said, "Changshan County is about to explode."
Although the Great Elder's voice remained calm, Lin Wen seemed to sense a hint of nervousness.
"What's going on?"
Lin Wen said, "I can't sell my goods, and I'm out of money. The boss of the Qin Group once said that if I married his daughter, we would reconcile, but this request was too much. I always refused, but now I can't stand it anymore."
“Why can’t it be sold?”
"My trade with the six nations has been interrupted, and the regions are refusing to buy."
"What do you want?"
"I want a fair trading environment," said Lin Wen.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Lin Wen thought for a moment, then opened his mind and said, "My Lords, things lost and recovered are the most precious, and power is even more so."
"Okay." The person on the other end of the phone agreed immediately. "You have to pay back the money owed to the Federal Reserve this month first."
"Ah? I still have to pay back the money..."
Lin Wen keenly sensed something was wrong and opened his heart again.
Xin said, "...There's no need to even talk about repaying the money. Only a stable order and reputable business rules can give birth to the most powerful empire and its top leaders."
"good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up with a click.
Shenjing.
Elders' Courtyard.
"Will it trigger a backlash in various places?" asked the great elder Xingling.
"It's possible."
"Do you want to continue?"
"continue."
"Why?"
"Don't give up the power you've taken back." The Great Elder Pingyuan said calmly, "It will be even harder to take it back in the future. The Governor has lost it and they won't give it up."
"It's better for power to be in the hands of the Supreme Council."
"good."
The Great Elder Xingling agreed with him. The situation of the empire being divided must not happen again. The weaker the governors in each region, the better. If the logistics of the empire are smooth, people can move freely, the governors are only responsible for administration, and no region can do without each other, the empire will become more and more like a whole.
Moreover, it has been empirically proven that it is beneficial to the imperial economy.
Li Longxing's strategy is correct.
"How to deal with it?"
"Have the Supreme Council and the Imperial Council of Political Supervisors focus on monitoring the Governor-General's abuse of power in the near future, especially the local laws and commodity barriers that have been reclaimed."
"Let the State Council shift its focus to managing trade and the flow of goods across the country, and don't allow the Governor to arbitrarily impose taxes or ban certain goods from entering."
"It's feasible." The great elder Xingling agreed.
The four great elders stood up and walked towards the Emperor's Tower.
A large number of imperial garrisons also followed.
And behind them.
Under the towering locust tree, on the eternal imperial chessboard.
There is an extra huge chess piece.
It stands in the center of the chessboard, like an uncrowned king, a fearless fighter, guarding the huge dragon vein in the center of the chessboard, holding a sharp blade, separating the east and the west, looking around, as if confronting all the flags on the chessboard.
This is the main reason that none of them mentioned.
Changshan County.
Its existence invisibly shared the pressure on the Supreme Council, prevented the convergence of Eastern and Western forces, and attracted a large amount of firepower.
As long as Li Longxing is alive, no one will not feel its existence, and those rebels will never have peace.
This is their means of checks and balances.
Changshan County is their most important balancing piece.
It is not allowed to fall until the Supreme Council has recovered its full strength.
Deterioration is even more unacceptable.
The only thing the Great Elder regretted was that he did not marry Li Linyue to Lin Wen earlier, which led to some extra variables now.
“Maybe we need to give it a push.”
This is what the Great Elder was thinking about.
"Assassinate Qin Gang's daughter." This proposal was rejected.
They should not interfere in any matters directly related to Changshan County.
What's more, this kind of murder has unpredictable consequences.
The only proposal that was passed was: "Tell my subordinates to find the best matchmaker in the empire, infiltrate Changshan County, and help them succeed in the matchmaking as soon as possible."
"Lin Wen must be tied firmly to the imperial faction's chariot."
This is their established strategy.
Just like before, the empire was full of cults and difficult to deal with.
The Great Elder drove them all to Yu Zhongxian's men, and told the poisonous insects to gather in the poison den and not crawl around everywhere.
The same is true for Changshan County.
They drove over all the remnants of the imperial faction and Dongqinzhou and gathered them in Changshan County.
In this way, these poisonous insects will not spread throughout the empire.
In the future, as long as Changshan County is destroyed, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Changshan County must not fall.
As long as Lin Wen does this, even if he wants the daughter of the gods, the Great Elder will help him catch her, tie a ribbon around her, put her in a gift box and give her to him.
After all, the Supreme Council has suffered heavy losses now, and the Great Elder must use both soft tactics and pacification at the same time.
The imperial army guards the capital, loose on the outside but tight on the inside, and still maintains the highest state of combat readiness. The imperial garrison troops in various places are almost operating openly to deter any ill intentions.
They must recover their strength as soon as possible.
Restoring strength requires money, military spending is the biggest bottomless pit, and the Imperial Federal Reserve is dependent on the imperial economy.
Therefore, the imperial economy must recover as soon as possible.
Every penny counts.
It would be even better if we could develop a nuclear bomb.
But the highest military headquarters was always a little off, with a layer of window paper between them.
As long as it is exposed, everything will be over.
As for Qin Gang, he is indeed a huge threat, but as long as the empire has nuclear bombs, they can blow up the Qin Group.
No matter how many people die.
After all, the empire's territory is countless times larger than the Qin Group.
——
at the same time.
The western line of Changshan County.
Qin Luoshuang was still working tirelessly to inspect the defense line on the mountain.
Her beautiful face was covered with dust, and her smooth and lively short hair was covered with dust.
But she seemed unaware.
"Fang Dashan, I think the bunkers on this line of defense can be moved up a bit. This way, our three-dimensional firepower can be increased by 20%..."
Starting tomorrow, I will resume normal updates, but it is impossible to lift the ban for a while. I can only revise it as I write. But please rest assured, Ashan will not abandon the story, nor will it end badly. I will definitely finish the whole story and give everyone a good ending. You must believe me o(∩_∩)o
