: 3555 The Wind of the Empire (16)

　　 "Just like that, if it is such an agreement, the Yelv family can accept it"
In the imperial emperor’s temporary palace, Yelu Hongtai looked dignified and closed the text of the terms of cooperation with the empire. It was written in Imperial and Prairie. Even if Yelu Hongtai does not understand the Obaro script, you can see the meaning of each one. , Sign the text with his own name, and hand it to the imperial civilian officials next to him
　　 "Since this is the case, then follow this?"
The fat man nodded his head and signed his name on another agreement, which was handed over to the civilian officials behind him. This was already the third day of Yelu Hongtai in Xijinggu. This agreement was also revised six times, regardless of what the two parties said How to speculate, when it really involves political interests, the two people's protection of their own interests will be no less entangled with the generosity of the street vendors than a penny in the vegetable market.
　　 "Yes, in fact, I hope that the sooner the better, the best is that the empire can immediately announce the marriage with the Yelu family, I do not know what your majesty means?"
Yelu Hongtai glanced at the fat man without revealing his urgency. After seeing Yelv Qi Yeguang still alive, the old man who had fallen into the pain of his bereavement recovered again in just two years. , First-hand set off the heroic face of the turbulent and turbulent Yelu homeowner in Central Biya, when he went to Onna in the south, he showed a powerful and decisive power. Once he made a decision, he had the determination to carry it through to the end. Yelu Hongtai is quite satisfied with the "cooperation" proposed by the Empire, and Yelv Hongtai can see that the marriage between the current Yelu family and the empire has exceeded Yelu Hongtai's greatest expectations. Although the Yelu family is strong, but After all, it is not a dynasty that unified the whole of Centralbia, and even the grasslands cannot be unified. Internally, because of the defeat of the battle of Yanzhou, it fell into a state of disintegration. Compared with it, the empire has crossed several continents and mastered The behemoths in the two thirds of the western continent, this marriage is definitely attached
"Since Lord Yelu is so eager, then we will announce it as soon as possible. I believe Lord Yelu also knows that such news, choosing an important time to announce, is to maximize its value." The fat man smiles lightly, but part of the agreement The empire can be implemented in advance. For example, this time the empire will send 32,000 sets of heavy infantry armor and 40,000 heavy bows to the grasslands of the Yelu family. However, how to transport these weapons to the Dijing Plain requires the owner of Yelu to find a way Alright!"
"Your Majesty can rest assured that although there is something wrong with my Yelu family, there are still some real allies. There are many roads from the northwest to the Dijing Plain, but the Dijing West Road controlled by the Katiba Department is the shortest. The Patriarch Patriarch Ural and I have been friends for many years, and reliability is not a problem."
Yelv Hongtai heard that the empire was willing to pay tens of thousands of elite weapons and equipment in advance, and raised his eyebrows. He quickly and confidently said, "This time I came to the northwest, I came from the West Beijing Road in Katiba, If it wasn’t for Ural’s cover, I’m afraid it was discovered just after leaving Dijing!

"That's good!"
The fat man agreed that these weapons and equipment were not sent in vain. According to the agreement, those who accompanied these weapons and equipment to the Dijing Plain, and more than 50 people who had arrived in the northwest of the Imperial Bank in the early days, they will open the Imperial Bank in Dijing Branch, began to take over and take over the various industries of Yelujia in the Dijing Plain area
Their role is like two ends of a line, one has been extended from the empire, and the other is firmly nailed to the emperor plains. The Yelvs have promised to gradually hand over their industries to the staff of these imperial banks for management. The Imperial Bank turned over to Yelv’s family according to one million gold coins per month,
　　 One million gold coins may not be a big deal for a wealthy empire, but for the prairie people who are not good at production, it is another matter.
Don’t look at the strong power of the Yelu family in the Central Biya region. In fact, it is mainly manifested in the military, and its main source of financial resources is still the plundering of the Central Biya region. In the real production, even people like Yelu Hongtai, With a population of tens of millions in the entire Dijing Plain, one month’s tax has never exceeded 500,000. This is still because of the relatively loose economic policy of the Yelu family to the Central Biya people, and the large number of imperial businessmen who have such contacts. Scale, like the areas controlled by other tribes, the economy is almost
Completely run down,
Many grassland aristocrats don’t even know what taxes are. They only know how to squeeze the slaves of Central Biya, to work hard for these slaves, and then use these outputs to fill the debts of buying weapons from the empire, and then use these weapons to go. Expand larger territory and more slaves from Centralbia
The empire is willing to pay a million dollars a month to the Yelu family, which has made Yelu Hongtai overjoyed. He had expected such a strong strength that it was very good to be consistent with the original tax. Who would have thought that it doubled directly And this is the standard for the first half of the year. After half a year, the empire will raise the standard to two million, which is four times the tax amount of the original Yelu family. For the Yelu family who urgently needs to restore military power, it can be said to be a gift. , Be aware that the Yanzhou World War I was too much for the Yelu family.
The leader of the young patriarch Yeluguda did not say anything about the battle, and it was destroyed together with 10,000 well-equipped Baihe pro-armies, more than 30,000 elite warriors of the Yelu family responsible for the defense of the northern line, and more than 100,000 other tribes of tributaries. Almost one-half of the Yelu family's military power was swept away. If not, how could the Fengtai Department dare to take such a head, and under the great loss of strength, facing the 300,000 dragon family troops who were going south, Yelu Hongtai could only Sadly withdrew from the first line of Daizhou to the Dijing area, which made the otherwise unfavorable situation worse. If not, the grassland departments will not stand side by side in the Fengtai Department. It is really obvious to everyone that the strength of the Yelu family is really not good. Otherwise, how could there be no way to watch the rise of Fengtaibu!
"Is it the Ural of Katiba?" Hearing the name mentioned by Yelu Hongtai, a trace of dignity flashed on the fat man's face, and suddenly whispered to the guard behind him. "The report we received yesterday, that was in disorder on Dijing West Road. What is the name of the leader of the dead grassland department?"
　　 "Called Ural, the leader of the Katiba Department of Dijing West Road, was shot at the chest with an arrow at the banquet, and the wounded died of death." The guard looked back and hesitated.
"What! Ural is dead!" Upon hearing the words of the guard, Yelu Hongtai suddenly stood up and asked in angrily, "Do you know who moved his hand? Ural has always been respected among the tribes, and he died with me when he was young. Even if all the ministries stood opposite the Yelu family, Ural also expressed support for the Yelu family, but did not expect... "Yeru Hongtai's voice whimpered, and he was very sad about Ural's death. You should know that the Catibba Division, as the grassland tribe that controls Dijing West Road, seems to be the existence of the Dijing Portal. It is extremely important in the Yelu Group. It is the most trusted ally of Yelu Hongtai. Yelu Hongtai dare to leave Dijing at this time and come to the northwest. Because Ural controls Dijing West Road
　　 "The attacker slipped away on the spot, it is said that the arrow cluster came from 150 meters away, and now the younger brother of Ural, who inherited the Patriarch of Katiba," Wu Wei replied respectfully.
"It's Mongolian Luo, it must be Mongolian Luo! Only Mongolian Luo's eagle arrow can surpass a distance of 150 meters." Yelu Hongtai's eyes were red, and he punched angrily on the table, the sound vibrated like a dull "I've been right Ural has said that Mongolia is brave and dare to do it. In Daizhou, I even wanted to kill him. I wanted him to take extra precautions. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened. Now, Wusugu, who inherited the head of Katibba, has been They all have a good relationship with Mongolian Luo. If I guess correctly, there must be special arrangements for the seats of the banquet. This only requires setting the angle. Even in the dark, Mongolian Luo’s archery can hit the target. And Wusugu can do this!"
　　 Dijing West Road is broken, now let’s not say that transporting weapons to Dijing Plain, it is a problem to return to Dijing Plain by oneself
Yelu Hongtai deserves to be a decisive prairie owl with amazing courage, but his eyebrows just curled, and suddenly he looked at the fat man and said, "Your Majesty is interested in Dijing West Road? Since the empire cooperates with my Yelu family, and Dijing West Road acts as The important passage connecting the Dijing Plain and the northwest, if it can be controlled by the empire, I believe it will be more advantageous than the control of the Yelu family."
According to the ability of Yelu Hongtai, how can you not see that once the Yelu family handed over the imperial West Road to the empire, it was equivalent to sending the lifeline of the entire country to the hands of the imperial people, but the situation of the Yelu family has now reached an imminent crisis In the middle, the Fengtai Department defeated the 300,000 troops of the Dragon Family who went south in Longshibao. The prestige of the grand is even higher, and it was originally watching other neutral grasslands
Department, at this moment it seems to be based on the Fengtai Ministry, now the Dijing West Road has been cut off by the Fengtai Ministry, and the situation has made him unable to choose. Although it is suspected of being handed over to the empire, it is better than the army of the Fengtai Ministry. It's much better to follow the Dijing West Road and enter the Dijing West. Anyway, the Imperial forces have already entered the Dijing Plain, and don't care about one more Dijing West Road.
　　 "The Lord Yelv means let the empire send troops to emperor Jingxi Road?" The fat man's eyes flickered, and obviously he also moved a little, hesitating "Will the empire send troops to emperor Jingxi Road, will it cause tension in the grasslands?"
"If it was before, or maybe, but now, absolutely not, because the empire entered the emperor Jingxi Road, and I have the full power of the Yelu family, even on the grassland, it also fully complies with the rules of the grassland." Yelu Hongtai grinned. Well, immediately said that Dijing West Road was originally the Yelu family, and the Kaba Department was only responsible for guarding. If the empire is willing to help this, he can now immediately write a gift and hand over the entire power of Dijing West Road to the empire.
　　 The so-called order is the order book used by the grassland department to divide the territory
Noticing that the situation was wrong, he immediately gave up his important Emperor Jing West Road to the empire. Not everyone can have such courage, but Yelu Hongtai was such a character. He was wrong at Onna. In order to avoid becoming an enemy of the empire, he dared to take With 300,000 thoughtful prairie tribes, like a torrent of tyrants, they went south. In the case of a completely unpredictable future, the Yelv family was stunned with iron and blood, with prairie people's scimitars and horseshoes, with numbers. The bones of the 10,000 grasslands pushed the battle of conquering south that directly penetrated the hinterland of Centralbia,
Yelu Hongtai is a gambler by nature. In fact, the vast majority of underworld heroes are gamblers. In many cases, success depends entirely on the degree of perseverance. If Yelu Hongtai shook his determination to go south, the Yelu family would not This is the scale and sight, and Yelv Hongtai believes that since the empire is going to cooperate with the Yelu family, especially to develop the Emperor Jingyuan plain controlled by the Yelu family, the smoothness of the transportation road determines the smooth development of the entire development, otherwise the road After being cut off, the products from the Dijing Plain could not be shipped out, so even if the Empire’s investment in this cooperation was a slap in the water, Dijing West Road was very important to itself, but it was even more important to the Empire,
　　Take out an important transportation corridor like Dijing West Road, how could the empire be indifferent,
Especially in the current era of war in Central Asia ~ EbookFREE.me ~ a business road that can guarantee safety and stability is the guarantee of the ultimate interests of the empire in the imperial plains. Since the Yelu family has decided to unite with the empire, then you It's not an exaggeration to take the tiger skin of the Empire
　　 "How is the strength of Katiba?"
The fat man asked, since Yelv Hongtai has so expressed his attitude, do he still need to hide it? Control a transport corridor to the Dijing Plain, which is also an eager desire of the empire. With Dijing West Road in hand, the empire It is equivalent to getting the door key to the Dijing Plain, which is definitely a major harvest of the empire's substantial progress in Centralbia
"The Katiba Department is close to the size of most of the grasslands. The original population of the whole tribe is about 180,000, and the commander cavalry is 30,000. The blacksmiths of the Katiba Department were very famous before, and the forged Katti scimitar was sought after by various departments. However, due to problems with the mine source in recent years, the machete has been much worse than before. The Katiba Department suffered a snowstorm again last winter. Under pressure, Ural chose to go south, hoping to allow the tribes to recuperate in the south and survive this crisis. I never expected to have the opportunity to return to the grassland anymore.
Yelv Hongtai looked at the sky outside the window with a sad face, and the grassland people went south. Seemingly vigorous and taking up the benefits, in fact, it is just like the moth Park Huo, how many prairie people who leave the grassland can finally go back, then it really depends on longevity.
　　Knowing that the Empire is willing to send troops, Yelv Hongtai naturally shook out all the bones of the Katiba Department that did not retain the information, and then the fat man finalized the Empire’s decision to send the emperor Jingxi Road. (To be continued.)
