It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Throughout the ages,

All negotiations are a continuation of war.
Lu Yuan lit it,
Sparks,

Far away from the capital,

The northern half of Tifa is growing quietly,

However, it is undeniable that

Overall, the strength of the court is
Still higher than the unsystematic and loose revolutionaries,

However, the imperial court's military preparations were in disrepair, morale was low, and funds were tight.

In addition, Queen Xingzhen was in great need of respectability.
Therefore, in the short term, the court is not interested in seeking war.

Most of the revolutionaries in the north did not want to fight.

First, in the Far East, after annexing the six counties of Liangjiang, Jiangnan, and Jiangbei,
The Far East Board of Directors simply said on its own that "the county should be abolished and the state should be changed".
As the saying goes, "to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation".
Therefore, rectifying the internal affairs of the "new territory" became the top priority for leaders such as Lu Yuan.

Secondly, Wu Ziyu suddenly took control of Liangjiang.

But his foundation was not very solid, and he lacked capable people to hold the bag.

More importantly, if you don't manage a household, you won't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

Those who are involved in society all understand,
Being a leader requires winning people's hearts, so you have to spend money everywhere, and a lot of money.
But, the state library is so empty that even rats can run through it.
Not to mention the accumulated deficits over the years, which is a huge "time bomb" that will make him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside if he is not careful!

If he didn't have 10,000 troops at his disposal, plus Lu Yuan's support, he really couldn't suppress it.

Now, they can’t even afford the travel expenses... What can Liangjiangzhou use to fight the imperial court?
As for the two local tyrants in the buffer zone between Jiangnan and Jiangbei,

At present, I live in a remote corner, content with my small fortune, and have no intention of fighting and killing.

Chen Mingjiong was determined to conquer Guangdong Province.

However, the clan armed forces in Chaoshan area have a shortcoming: they are good at self-preservation but not aggressive enough.

When it comes to defending their hometown, everyone is willing to risk their lives.

However, it would be a bit short of breath to attack other counties outside the area.
Another thing is that their simple weapons and equipment do not allow them to attack head-on.

Therefore, Chen Mingjiong came to the Far East and tried to get close to Lu Yuan.
What I want in my mind is to obtain support from the Far East Army in terms of heavy equipment.

Li Xiehe of Jiujiang is an expert in naval warfare.

He was not very good at dealing with the army.

In order to take over Ganzhou, he brought a group of trusted subordinates to the Far East Army to learn from them.

Tan Sanfa was highly respected in Xiangbei Prefecture and had many students and disciples.
He strongly advocated the constitutional system of Yingjisha and Izu.
He believed that the king was the king and the people's livelihood was the people's livelihood. Only a good people's livelihood could make the country harmonious and stable.

So, at heart, Tan Sanfa is a typical peace reformer.

As for Xulin and Qiujian Lake, which are located at the junction of Jiahu and Lake,
An idealist with a scholarly spirit.
In his early years, when he was studying in Izu, he witnessed the Meiji Restoration.
On the one hand, they envied Izu's growing power, and on the other hand, they hated the corruption and incompetence of the imperial court.
"I feel so sad about the decline of my motherland, I seek like-minded people overseas.

The broken golden bowl must be repaired, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for the country.

Lamenting the dangers and obstacles, sighing at the loneliness, I embark on a heroic journey across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

Don’t say that women are not heroes, for every night they are like dragons swimming on the wall.”

A poem "Quail Sky" fully expresses the countless emotions of Qiujian Lake, which are no less than those of any man!
The two returned from studying abroad in order to overthrow the Tifa court and reform and become rich.
While contacting like-minded relatives and friends to accumulate strength, while waiting for the opportunity to launch a revolution,
When Lu Yuan rose up, he quickly defeated the county governor and won the Far East Counterattack.
The two men responded to the uprising with great enthusiasm and quickly occupied six counties at the border of Jiaxing and Huzhou.
Relatively speaking, their strength appears to be relatively weak among the ranks of revolutionary strongmen.

Another point is that the two counties of Jia and Shao in Jiangnan Prefecture are both in the hands of the Far East.

However, based on the overall situation of the revolution, Lu Yuan acquiesced that the three states of Jiaxing would be temporarily represented by the two.

This time, Lu Yuan is planning a deal.
Use the remaining four counties of Huzhou in exchange for the other party giving up the three state cities of Jiaxing.

In summary, these so-called "revolutionaries"
Although the purposes of coming to the Far East are similar, there are also great differences in specific aspects.

Lu Yuan knew this very well and put forward a threshold.
"Anyone who follows the Far East system is a true ally, helping each other."

In addition, in line with the principle of "uniting all forces that can be united",

He provided symbolic support to the revolutionaries who were temporarily unable to stand on the same front.

Including a certain amount of money, food and other material assistance,

You can even send military instructors or civil affairs advisers to assist the other party step by step.

Of course, allowing Far Eastern merchants to trade freely in their jurisdiction is a prerequisite.
The reactions of the revolutionaries to this can be roughly divided into two categories:

Wu Ziyu and Tan Sanfa are both local leaders with strong opinions.
They would never accept being controlled by the Far East and were called "autonomists".
Chen Mingjiong, Li Xiehe, Xu Qiu, including two local tyrants,

Due to their own lack of strength, they prefer to cling to the Far East and belong to the "United Faction".
Finally, after a week of negotiations,
Witnessed by the powerful merchant groups,
The court delegation and the revolutionaries, who had huge differences, reached a temporary agreement with difficulty:
As of the end of this year, both sides have ceased fighting.

As for what to do after the New Year... let's talk about it in the future.
A brief peace is also peace.

And peace is always much better than war and killing!
To this end, the two sides jointly held a press conference.

As we all know, journalists are troublemakers who only want to stir up trouble.
A reporter asked: "How does the court view the autonomous revolutionary forces in the north?"

Guizi Liu smiled faintly and said:
"The court is the legitimate representative of Tifa, and the so-called 'autonomy' is not recognized."

The reporter pressed the issue: “What do you mean, Prince, that the revolutionary forces are armed rebels?”

Guizi Liu thought for a moment and answered cautiously:

"The imperial court is the imperial court of the people of the world.

It is true that the imperial court currently has many shortcomings.
However, we hope that people of insight from all walks of life can work with the court to build the country together! "

The reporter was not tactful and was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Your Highness, please answer directly, are the revolutionary forces rebels?"

Guizi Liu is a Tai Chi master, and said playfully:
"Everyone has their own opinion... Next question!"

The second reporter asked:
"If one party violates the ceasefire agreement, how will the court deal with it?"

Guizi Liu said without hesitation:

"The court has done its utmost to exercise restraint.
If there is anyone who is treacherous and goes back on his word,
The imperial court will naturally take drastic measures to resolutely punish and strike back at them!"

"What if the imperial court sabotages it?"

"Impossible! How can the prestige of the imperial court be a joke?"

Reporters also know that these senior executives and dignitaries have to speak in a roundabout way and rarely speak directly.

Therefore, the third reporter turned directly to Lu Yuan,
"Hello, Chairman Shen!
Some people say that forcibly expropriating the land of the three states is like taking advantage of the situation.
I wonder what you think of this statement? "

Lu Yuan laughed and said:

"In fact, I don't want to talk about the past.
But since you asked, let me tell you a reason.

If you do something wrong, you must be punished accordingly.
As the saying goes, if you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness? "

The reporter asked, "So, you think the imperial court's suppression was a mistake?"

Lu Yuan answered straightforwardly: "There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period!"

"Then what about the war of annexation you launched from Qila State against other states and counties?"

Li Hefei was secretly happy.
Hehe, I'm using your own spear to attack your shield. Let's see how you respond.

Lu Yuan said with a shameless face:
"Your information is not quite accurate.
Basically, they were negotiated in a friendly manner. As for those sporadic local conflicts,
Whether it is in accordance with righteousness or not, I do not need to answer.
If you ask the people in the Far East, you will know the result.

Of course, the view on a thing,

Different people, different perspectives, it is normal to have disagreements.

There is a good saying among foreigners: For every thousand audiences, there are a thousand Hamlets!

Or, should we leave this matter to future generations to judge?"

Although his answer was perfunctory,
However, Lu Yuan did not declare that what happened in the internal conflict of Far East must be correct.

Or, from an objective point of view,

The advent of every new era requires a heavy price to be paid.

After the press conference, the imperial delegation continued with their original itinerary.

He will go to Fengyang, Jiujiang and Shacheng to have further exchanges with Wu Ziyu, Li Xiehe and Tan Sanfa respectively.

Lu Yuan strengthened the implementation of the recommendation system in the new territory and unified the military, political and commercial systems.
By the way, he coerced and bribed the governor of Huzhou to reach a cooperation with Xu Qiu.

At the same time, vigorously develop local industry and commerce in the Far East.
Originally, Jidong County was one of the earliest ports opened, and its industry and commerce were quite active.

Under the guidance of Lu Yuan's new policies, politics became clear and

Bad habits such as corruption and fraud have been ruthlessly cracked down upon.
A large number of national capitalists quickly emerged.
They bought land and invested a lot of money.
Actively setting up factories, commerce, and transportation industries led to a large number of workers gathering in the Far East capital.
With more workers, the demand for housing will also increase significantly.
Lu Yuan naturally couldn't sit idle. In addition to improving the coal and steel consortium,

He also joined forces with powerful families such as Wu Ziyu and the Zhu family.

Jointly set up a construction company to develop the real estate market in Far East City.

Of course, with the current level, it is unrealistic to build high-rise buildings with dozens of floors.
Therefore, residential quarters with four or five floors, similar to the "Pig Cage City", came into being.

But, after building a house,

No matter how cheap it is, ordinary workers can hardly afford it. What should they do?

This is not a problem for Lu Yuan.
He smiled faintly and established Far East Bank at the speed of light.
Provide residential and commercial loans to home buyers.

"What? You don't have that much money now. That's easy..."

As long as you have a normal job, you can apply for installment payments, even for ten or twenty years!

“Use tomorrow’s money to do today’s work. Live first, enjoy first, and it will appreciate in value!”

Anyway, after the exaggerated advertisements were put out, home buyers happily applied for mortgage loans.

In addition, after Far East became a free trade port with zero tariffs,
Therefore, cargo ships and merchants from all over the world and the states of Tifa flocked to the city.
Countless cheap and high-quality goods, huge amounts of capital, and advanced technology all came in droves.

The Shierpu Wharf could not accommodate the number of people, so it had to expand to four more wharves...

As we all know, when cargo ships return, they can load local goods and make a profit.
Trade is about mutual benefit and win-win. Foreign merchants certainly made a lot of profits.
However, due to their large purchases, Jidong Trade and even the entire Didong,

A large number of agricultural products, primary processing, semi-finished products and transportation industries have shown explosive growth.

Therefore, the myth of wealth that keeps appearing,

The Far East’s reputation as “the paradise for adventurers from all over the world” soon became famous around the world!
Following this wave of dividends, Lu Yuan quickly imported various machines and machinery, and worked hard to increase the production capacity of the military factory.

Because, according to the news from the foreign merchant group,

The Tifa court has secretly borrowed money from the great powers.

It was used to train 100,000 new troops in preparation for a major battle after the New Year.

Far East Province is a thorn in the side of the imperial court.
They will definitely be given special attention, so we must expand six more regiments before the end of the year.
For each newly added county, recruiting one regiment of soldiers is not too much.

This move brought the total strength of the Far East Army to nearly 40,000.

In addition, in view of the outstanding performance of the militia commandos in the counterattack,
The plan to form a 200,000-strong reserve militia is also being implemented.
In addition, Lu Yuan emphasized the construction of the navy and air force.
The navy is based on Li Xiehe's navy.

At the same time, a large number of small torpedo boats were manufactured to curb the near-shore killing of the Nanyang Navy fleet.

As for the air force, it was Lu Yuan's first creation.
Following his drawings, the piston engine was expected to be developed within three months.
Then, using wooden frames and canvas, the first generation of biplane propeller aircraft can be built.
In addition, a giant airship is also under construction.
This thing has lower technical difficulty, but has a maximum deterrent effect.

By the way, although Lu Yuan is very busy,
However, he still found time to fulfill his promise to Wu Ziyu and got engaged to Wu Ziqi.

Wu Ziqi, who was in the prime of her life, came to the Far East with trepidation.

From what she knew, her fiancé was a revolutionary hero who was both civil and military, and decisive in killing.

However, I never expected that,

Lu Yuan is not only handsome, but also considerate and caring towards women.
At the same time, he was also very frank and spoke frankly about his relationship with Judy.

"You know, Judy and I met before, and I guess we will never be separated in this life...

If you cannot accept this situation, I will explain to your brother that the responsibility is entirely mine..."

Wu Ziqi was stunned.

What do you mean I can't accept it?
It's very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines!

She thought for a moment and asked, "I have no objection.
But, what are you and Miss Zhu going to do from now on?"

Lu Yuan was also very distressed. He wanted to give Judy a name.
But, this girl is now completely focused on her Far East Scout career and doesn't want to get married at all.

Lu Yuan sighed and said, "I don't want to force anyone... Let's talk about it later!"

Wu Ziqi smiled sweetly: "So, I am older than her?"

Lu Yuan was helpless. A woman's train of thought was always so unpredictable...

In fact, ever since Lu Yuan became the Lord of the Far East,

Around him, the number of beauties that were the best in the world increased significantly, visible to the naked eye.

In the gossip newspapers, the gossips about him and the female protagonists in the scandals change almost every week.
Many of them are just groundless speculations, but there are two ladies who do have the idea of ​​being a good person.

One is the lady from a noble family, Song Sanmei, and the other is the socialite Lu Manman.

The Song family is a big capitalist with many businesses overseas.

Using the third young lady to approach Shen Beixuan was basically the same idea as the Wu and Zhu families.
The moment Lu Yuan saw the Third Miss, he understood the Song family's plot.
Therefore, I asked someone to tell Boss Song,

Any normal business operation, as long as it is legal and compliant, will be protected by law.

Obviously, Lu Yuan was very rational, so Boss Song tactfully told his daughter,

Unexpectedly, the third young lady actually admired him very much and fell in love with him. She followed Lu Yuan on patrols every now and then.

As for Lu Manman, she was called the "Red Rose of the Far East" because of her singing and dancing skills.
Her idea is simple.
Using the identity of the Lord of the Far East to expand his influence,

Therefore, every time Lu Yuan attended a party,

She would try to attend and flirt with Lu Yuan.
To be honest, the two beauties not only have stunning looks, but also have their own unique temperaments.

If it were someone else, he would have already fallen at her feet.

However, the people they met were not ordinary people... (End of this chapter)
