Chapter 1098: The Choice of History

~7 min read 1,301 words

"Kill!"

"Kill them for me!"

Seeing the arrival of these 100,000 Liaodong Army troops, Xiao Qian went completely mad!

Because he knew that this was the best opportunity to pursue the Youzhou Tuji!

Beat a drowning dog!

There is nothing more satisfying than this!

"General Xiao, the Young Master has ordered that the 100,000-strong Liaodong Army is entirely at your command!"

The arriving general did not waste words and handed the command of the army directly to Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian could not help but take a deep breath, his eyes lighting up.

Magnanimous!

What is called magnanimous? This is called magnanimous! Vice Minister Liu, as expected, never disappoints!

One hundred thousand...

Enough!

And they are all elite soldiers and fierce generals from the Liangzhou system!

Immediately, Xiao Qian issued the order to pursue. Because he knew that Xie Ping had already rebelled, and to the Dragon Flame Nation, he was a running dog that everyone shouted to beat. Letting him go back was like letting a tiger return to the mountains; not only would it coerce the entire population of Youzhou into rebellion, but it would certainly plunge the common people into a state of misery and suffering.

They cannot be allowed to return!

Naturally, they also cannot be allowed to become a roving army that commits all kinds of evil! A roving army is even more terrifying; when their logistical support is not perfectly maintained, they are a force that can eat people!

"Attack!"

"Keep chasing them and attacking!"

Xiao Qian felt that at this moment, the strategic direction should also change. On the side of the Youzhou Tuji, after consuming some troops, there were still at least 180,000 soldiers! Barely counting as 200,000, this force could not be ignored.

His decisiveness was destined to lead Xie Ping to a dead end.

Because at this time.

These big shots in Jinghua were still in a state of being scared silly.

Train?

What kind of thing is this?

Of course, what kind of thing it is no longer important! Why is this thing so fast? In two days, the Liaodong Army has already arrived at Fuyuan?

Two days...

The army led by Huobu Quli from the Southern Barbarians has already returned to Dragon Flame?

Two days.

The East India troops have already returned to the Western Regions?

This speed...

It is too terrifying.

"This..."

"This Vice Minister Liu!"

"He actually hid such a magical treasure!"

"This... what is to be done?"

A group of Noble Feudatory Kings looked at each other, and no one's expression was very good.

No wonder...

Vice Minister Liu was so confident that he could resolve the crisis from Tsarist Russia!

No wonder he never took this matter seriously. No wonder he had always been sure of victory, stubbornly pushing for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and Private Ownership. It turns out he had been prepared for a long time...

A train.

The changes it brings are not just a little bit. None of these Feudatory Kings who can stand at today's height are fools. This train will bring earth-shaking changes to future wars!

The initiative in future wars has suddenly come into the hands of Liu Zheng!

At the very least, he will lead the domestic wars of Dragon Flame for decades!

Train!

Suddenly, a Feudatory King jumped up, a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "We must make a choice! Let all the princes speak their minds! Should we take action to seize control of this train!"

These words suddenly caused these people to stir.

Seize the train?

Yes, if they want to change the current landscape of Dragon Flame, this is indeed a very good Method!

"But... before this, Vice Minister Liu had already made preparations. Whether it is the Track Carriage or the Track Train,

he has prepared many guards to watch over them, directly incorporating them into the system of their Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce... Everyone, you know how much the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce affects the fiscal revenue of our territories..."

The Prince of Yan said with a livid face.

At this, everyone was speechless.

That is correct.

After years of development, the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce has infiltrated every aspect of the entire Dragon Flame... It can be said that the goods from Yintan City have brought great changes and influence to the people of Dragon Flame in every aspect of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Once a conflict occurs with the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce... the fine wine is gone, the Perfume is gone, the Soap is gone, the Refined Salt is gone, the beautiful clothes are gone, the Snow Cream is gone, the cosmetics are gone...

All kinds of things will be affected, and by then, the emotions of the people in the entire society will be unstable.

Terrifying.

Suddenly, these Feudatory Kings fell into silence again.

At this moment, they truly realized what Vice Minister Liu meant and represented to Dragon Flame. They truly realized why Xie Tianyao did not touch Liu Zheng until his death; it was not that he dared not, but that he could not! Once Liu Zheng was touched, Liangzhou might rebel; once Liu Zheng was touched, Yintan City would be gone! Once Liu Zheng was touched, the impact on every aspect of Dragon Flame would be too great. They also realized at the same time why Xie Tianyao would compromise with Liu Zheng's constitutional monarchy. Because, the current Dragon Flame has no choice but to compromise.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

The Prince of Yan was the first to take a deep breath: "Gentlemen, make your choice!"

People looked at one another.

Because everyone knew that this would be a historic moment.

How to choose?

Faced with such an aggressive Vice Minister Liu, who had already completely seized the initiative, how to choose?

Like Xie Ping, raise an army and rebel?

If successful, that would mean reigning over the world, but what would the consequences be? Yintan City would certainly not continue to play along with you; is such a riddled and scarred Longyan what they want?

Then...

Since that won't work.

Then there is only one path to take.

Compromise.

Compromise just like Xie Tianyao!

Although unwilling, there was nothing else to be done...

At this moment, they finally felt an endless sense of powerlessness in their hearts. So, everything, every single thing, had already been calculated and accounted for by Liu Zheng.

"Dispatch troops to Youzhou!"

Just then, the Prince of Yan was the first to stand up and shout coldly.

"What?"

"Prince of Yan..."

"This..."

A group of Feudatory Kings were all startled.

Dispatch troops to Youzhou!

This meant that their faction of Old Aristocrats would abandon Xie Ping in Youzhou and lean toward Vice Minister Liu!

Compromise!

This was already the greatest compromise!

Then, the two wheels of history—constitutional monarchy and Private Ownership—would be unstoppable by anyone!

"Gentlemen, it will be too late if we wait any longer..."

The Prince of Yan knew that these people were certainly unwilling in their hearts.

However, what other Method was there now? He gave a bitter smile: "Since no one dares to touch the Train in Liangzhou, no matter how we deploy our troops, we will fall into a passive position... By then, if we provoke Vice Minister Liu again, things will be hard to say. It is better if we sell him a favor first..."

After these words, the group nodded one after another.

A mere Xie Ping—the Old Aristocrats could abandon him!

At worst, they could just clear away this "rebel" Xie Ping and support another son of the old Prince of Zhao to take the throne!

"Good!"

"Issue the proclamation, march to Youzhou, and crusade against the traitor Xie Ping!"

The Old Aristocrats finally reached a consensus.
