Chapter 541

"We must eliminate future troubles forever." After careful consideration, His Highness the Second Prince decided to mobilize all his strength. With the greatest support at this moment, he would get rid of his brother and take the position of lord into his bag. The Second Prince asked to see Ye Tao again, but Ye Tao told him that he would take Chang Ling away no matter what, it depends on His Highness's attitude. I think this can be considered to be a clear explanation of his attitude. If he could help in this matter, Ye Tao would still help. But Ye Tao asked him what to do next, but he was stunned.

Now he is in control of the imperial guards in Yuhang City, while the city guards are in control of His Royal Highness the Prince. The power of the two sides is similar. Although the imperial guards occupy a relatively good geographical location, the imperial guards stationed in the palace and surrounding areas can reach any location in the city at the fastest speed. However, the city guards are not too different. There are less than 30,000 imperial guards in the city, of which 6,700 are etiquette troops with basically no combat effectiveness. Although they look glamorous, their combat effectiveness is not satisfactory. The city guards have a total of 66,000. If the two sides conflict, it is really hard to say what the result will be. If the lightning attack is launched in the city and the prince controls the court, the troops outside the city will not be useful. When they come, if the situation has not been resolved, then the problem will be huge.

The second prince's subordinates were Chang Xufeng, the imperial guard commander, who was also a descendant of the Chang family. He has been following the second prince for more than ten years and is loyal, and both force and talent are just a temporary choice. At this critical moment, the second prince pretended that nothing had happened, and the banquets that should be played, and the prepared itinerary were not allowed to move. He handed over everything to Chang Xufeng to decide, and only told him the key. This decision alone required great courage and determination, which also made Ye Tao feel a little impressed with the prince.

Ye Tao also left everything to Jinze to decide. If you want to say trust, it is naturally fine, but more importantly, Ye Tao feels that he is really not skilled in this business. Ye Tao is in the city and is willing to cooperate, which means that he can add at least forty first-class experts and nearly a thousand soldiers with outstanding combat effectiveness to this operation. How powerful Ye Tao's guard battalion is is, the outside world has been speculating about how powerful Ye Tao's guard battalion is, but from the evaluation of Dongping, the combat effectiveness of this army may be stronger than Tan Xiaopei's inner court guards. This is also the result of Tan Xiaopei's direct inquiries. Compared to Tan Xiaopei who has been staying in Danyang to deal with complex political affairs, Ye Tao, who has been running around, obviously needs more comprehensive and powerful protection. Ye Tao himself does not ask about the construction of the guard battalion, but there are always people who have done these things for him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also cooperated very much during this period. He originally planned to find ways to get support from Dongping, at least to prevent Ye Tao from rejecting him. He had also tried his best to make Chang Ling and Tan Weizai return to Danyang. But judging from his relationship with Chang Ling, especially in light of the current situation, it is obvious that he is unlikely to play a big role. Moreover, more importantly, he did not expect Ye Tao to reach an agreement with his younger brother so quickly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also the person who is currently negotiating with Feng Zi with several ministers. Whenever the differences between the two sides cannot be reconciled, he will try his best to mediate. But from the current situation

From the perspective of this, the differences between the two sides were obviously not something he could resolve in a short time. There were also his and his brother's respective teams in the negotiation team, which was very conflicted, and such as commercial interests and some differences in disposal authority involved many families in Chunnan, and they needed to do more persuasion and mediation work behind it, which was even less a problem that could be solved in a short time. But His Royal Highness did not expect that Ye Tao would decide to support the Second Prince to attack him at this time. From the beginning, he did not understand the problem. What Ye Tao needed was not a new alliance agreement between the two countries, but to bring Chang Ling and Tan Weizai back.

"Sir, it's better for me to stay here. The mission will withdraw as soon as possible, and there will be a lot of trouble." Ye Tao asked Liu Yong to assist Jin Ze to solve the problem in one fell swoop, and show off his martial arts by the way, so that the second prince knew that if he wanted to repent, Liu Yong, the number one person in the world, might become the most terrifying assassin in the world. What the second prince lacks is a master, a master of sufficient magnitude.

"No, no need. This time the delegation only has such a few people, most of them are guards and soldiers, and they are originally intended to facilitate various operations. Tomorrow, I will ask some people to visit the seawall first. Of course, they will delay the afternoon and not come back in the evening. In terms of delegation negotiations, Feng Zi will throw some heavyweight things to make them quarrel. I, when it is launched, I will be here, and then it depends on yours. After all, we only have such a few people. It is unlikely that the troops will be divided into two groups." Ye Tao explained: "There is also the power on the sea. Mr. Qi is said to have brought the most elite troops over, and there are nearly a thousand people. As long as we don't attack the city, even if we make a lot of trouble, there will be no problem."

After thinking about it, Liu Yong agreed. Ye Tao was extremely calm in handling this matter, and he had extremely exquisite thinking about calculating the power of all aspects and allowing these powers to be turned on. Ye Tao had obvious advantages and disadvantages in being a general and a general, and could infect others in his own way. However, when implementing command in detail, it was always a bit lacking because he did not have a sufficiently solid military foundation. But sometimes, what he lacked was his ideas. He almost took the power of Yazhou into consideration from the beginning, and Ye Tao designed the method to attack continuously overnight and transfer the entire mission, which was also very feasible.

Feng Zi was negotiating with Chun Nan these days, so he was very proud. He raised one topic after another that made Chun Nan’s headache. First of all, the blackmail problem in the business roads of the two countries. Yes, Feng Zi used this kind of toothache vocabulary from the beginning of raising this question. It was naturally difficult for Chun Nan to give an answer quickly, and it was indeed their fault. This was a clause that had been in previous agreements, but the degree of execution of both parties was much worse. In this matter alone, Dongping suffered no less than one million taels of silver in the past year, which is by no means a small number. Feng Zi clearly demanded that Chun Nan must give a detailed explanation, apologize to the merchants who suffered the loss and return.

To compensate for losses, we must also ensure that such things will not be committed again in the future, or simply allow the caravan to greatly strengthen the escort force and strengthen the escort force? Just kidding, Chunnan can agree to it, there will be ghosts. Once this is passed, it is equivalent to allowing Dongping to continuously send the army to Chunnan to carry out various infiltration work. The former, if you want to apologize and refund the losses, this is something that the Chunnan court has never done before. After all, it is still the political system that the king has the final say, the government and the army have done something wrong. At most, pay attention to it in the future. The miserable should thank God, and apologize without thinking. To be honest, it is really not easy to ensure that such things will not be committed again. Feng Zi alone has argued with the Chunnan officials for two days.

Later, he proposed the restrictions on the acquisition of land farms by the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, and hoped that Chunnan would allow Yunzhou Bank to conduct business in Chunnan, and use weapons, military technical equipment, etc. as exchange conditions. People with insight can realize that once allowed, Dongping would blatantly infiltrate Chunnan economically. With Tan Weixin's ability, Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, Qihai Trading Company, Yunzhou Bank, and other big and small businesses that are certain to follow these giant crocodiles to enter the war in Chunnan, Rao

It was Chunnan who believed that his financial resources were unparalleled in the world, but most of his wealth was hidden in the banking warehouses of the civilian and wealthy families. The capital that could really be mobilized on a large scale would definitely not exceed the sum of these giants. However, Dongping's ordnance and military technical equipment was really attractive, especially Feng Zi once again proposed that it could assist Chunnan in training the army. The two sides could maintain friendly exchanges and contacts on the border and inform each other of various mobilizations. This "friendly" measure made Chunnan officials feel a little illusioned.

After a few more days of entanglement, Feng Zi put forward suggestions for meeting the two kings to discuss some topics. But Feng Zi said jokingly that this must be the king, and the two sides can meet first in a neutral zone. If there is basic trust, it is better to conduct mutual visits between the kings of the two kings. Feng Zi made it generously. In fact, Tan Xiaopei has always wanted to come to Chunnan to have fun, but it must be under the conditions of healthy and stable relations between the two countries. The king's travel, especially this extremely sensitive travel, is accompanied by a full set of ceremonial guards and guards, which means a total of 30,000 troops. Feng Zi sneered that with the military strength of Dongping, 30,000 elite troops are enough to launch an offensive of the order of magnitude.

The three proposals are becoming more and more attractive, but they are also increasingly entangled in Chunnan's dynasty and the opposition. The relationship with Dongping is undoubtedly the biggest problem and biggest challenge facing Chunnan. In this situation where Dongping has released goodwill, Chunnan dares not take the risk of war anyway. And they seem to have captured something from Fengzi's arrogant attitude: Dongping officials are not very satisfied with this attitude.

The content of the negotiations every day can be transmitted to Anping's hands within that night. Fuhutang is also preparing. A power of Fuhutang is already placed beside Chang Ling. Although he is not assigned by this princess with a very strong temper, it has indeed made Chang Ling more confident and made the situation in Yuhang more and more complicated. However, Anping is not satisfied with it. His goal is far from that simple. The second prince and Ye Tao have already agreed, which does not make Anping feel strange. Between the two princes, he also tends to the second prince, but

Yes, is it another question to hand over Tan Weizai and Chang Ling to Ye Tao? Anping thinks that if Tan Weizai can be in his own hands, it would be a very favorable bargaining chip. Anping has quietly sent Ruan Xiaowu's team of men to Yuhang, lurking in the stores, warehouses and other places controlled by Fuhutang. These people are loyal, brave and skillful, while Anping looks forward to them to take advantage of the chaos when Ye Tao and the Second Prince launch. It should not be difficult to have those people around Chang Ling cooperate with each other...
