: Three hundred and eleven Aden's Madness (4)

In the New Beijing of Central Asia, the evening sunset glowed on the tall spires of the four corner towers of the church, as if printing a layer of Phnom Penh on the entire world, a team of Aden warriors in traditional black robes stood in front of the steps , A few pigeons flew and flew over the open space of the sanctuary in a large circle, and then flew back and landed on the exquisite sculpture in front of the temple, the water fountain was dripping with water, the roof was Aden’s star, the sunset passed through the roof The latticed glass that fell on the wall diagonally below the room turned into a colorful pattern. The whole church seemed to be immersed in a plane different from the ordinary world, and time passed slowly.
Aden, the elder of Aden, glanced over a landscape picture on the wall, his eyes moved with emotion,
"Great elder, Prime Minister Yu Fenglong is here!" A servant in a white robe walked in and reported to Agroen
"Today's court meeting ended so early? Come, come and collect this carefully." Agron's deep eyes flashed a little surprise, waved his hand to the servants standing on both sides, and immediately four servants came up The deputy landscape map was moved carefully until the servants saw this precious landscape map in a safe place, and Elder Agron returned his gaze, turned around and walked out of the room, which made Elder Elder so valued, It must not be an ordinary thing, but in fact, this landscape picture is indeed treated as an ordinary thing for decades, so that when Elder Agron got this thing, he could not believe his eyes.
This is the map of mountains, rivers, and rivers drawn by Qi Xia, who traveled in the heyday of the Central African Empire. The entire picture is 3,3 meters long, from Yanzhou Trail stacked by mountains and rivers, to The waterfalls in the mountains in the south, the cities in all regions, the pass towns, the walkways and rivers, one stroke at a time, are all one by one on the map, just like the thousands of miles of geographical mountains and rivers of the Central African Empire, into one picture. Among them, Qi Xia fell ill after the painting was completed. Later, according to his will, the painting was dedicated to the central government of Centralbia. For the next fifty years, the painting has been adopted by the emperor of Centralbia. Hidden in the warehouse, mixed with a large number of useless books,
After Emperor Jing was broken, the gold and silver jewelry was looted by the prairie people, but he was not interested in these incomprehensible collections, but just sold it to the Aden merchants who bought slaves as ordinary palace paintings. Afterwards, it was transferred to the hand of Agren, who then spent another five full years, sending someone to accurately survey the landscapes and roads marked on the painting. All the listed are absolutely true, and finally this painting became the base map of the map of Zhongbia that was returned to Aden
Such an important thing was actually exchanged for only three copper coins, and whoever believed it, and now, Agren is going to make a more transaction with the Central Church of China
In the main hall of the temple, Yu Fenglong, the prime minister of China, seemed to leisurely gently blow the tea leaves floating in the glass in front of his eyes, but his eyes were a little bit hard to hide. In the living room, I secretly sighed in my heart.
Not to mention, it is said that the living room is more than 30 meters long and wide, and the ground is completely paved with top-grade broken Baiwen marble. This hand alone is enough for him, the prime minister of Central Arabia. Inwardly touching, secretly stunned
China cannot produce marbles, that is to say, these marbles all come from the fleet across the sea from the Gulf of Aden, so the cost of a trip to and from it is enough to make people feel palpitated.
Because of the gorgeous patterns and smoothness of marble, it has always been regarded as the top building material by the Zhongbian people. Its price is already sky-high, and it is still unattainable. For hundreds of years, it has been regarded as an identity. After all, the weight and volume of marble are too large. Although the profits are huge, the quantity that can be transported by a ship is so much. It is far less cost-effective than the transportation of various special products with light weight, so even if it is expensive, Aden merchants still Reluctant to ship it for sale, because the quantity is more precious. Even if you are a prime minister like Yu Fenglong, its magnificent mansion can definitely be ranked in the top three in the Beijing Minister.
But what makes Yu Fenglong proud is the study room of only ten square meters.
Because only the study room of more than a dozen square meters was paved with four pieces of marble side by side, one meter square, which was contributed by a local second-ranking clan. It was originally intended to be used to greet the emperor's return, but was eventually used. Yu Fenglong used it in his study. At this moment, Yu Fenglong really wanted to let the ministers who said that the Adenites were ambitious in the Korean deliberations that they gave loans to China and Syria were bad-hearted and not trustworthy. According to the financial resources of the Adenites, what else does China and Central Asia have? Worthy of the coveted Aden merchants
"Sir Prime Minister has come so fast, has the court discussion already had results?" Yu Fenglong heard footsteps outside the hall, his eyes quickly withdrew, and he saw a white robe in the door, and immediately It was like seeing a mass of gold coins walking by myself, stood up, and arched my hand towards Agren
"Elder Agron was really powerful, and he knew the result just from the time." Yu Fenglong smiled with a smile, and said with a condensed voice, "After the discussion, my majesty the emperor of China, agreed that your country is in Liuchenggang. Requirements for the construction of the Holy Church, and we have already issued official documents on the Six City Harbor, asking them to assist your Holy Church with all their efforts."
"I knew I was right, Your Majesty your country is indeed a saint with a tolerant world"
Agren put his right hand on his chest and paid a respectful salute. His face deliberately showed a look of excitement, which made no one think it was fake. He turned his head to a servant behind him and said, "Tell this good news Others, we can build a church in Liucheng Port. This good news must be known to every god’s people."
"Yes, the elder," the servant nodded with excitement, and turned away. Soon, outside the hall, the sound of other Adenites cheering came.
"Since Chaotang has agreed to the request of the elders, then when will the elders agree to Chaotang, when will they prepare..." Yu Fenglong poked out his words, and these Adenites were really not interested, since Already agreed, you should show some real sincerity
"Admiral Prime Minister can be assured that five million gold will be delivered within a month, and there will never be one less gold coin," said Agron sincerely, but Yu Fenglong was not very satisfied with what Agron said. Instead, he stood up angrily and waved his hand to Agren. "Five million dollars will be delivered within a month. Of course it's okay. Other than that? Did Elder Agren forget anything?"
"Sir Prime Minister is really anxious, how can I forget the agreement, this time, without the support of the Prime Minister, we can never succeed. There are many people in the daytime, the one hundred thousand gold belonging to the Lord, this evening Go back to the house," Agaron said with a laugh
"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting at home"
Yu Fenglong stood up with a brow and smiled, and said goodbye to Agren. In a red and purple robe of prime minister, he stepped out of the hall and watched Yu Fenglong's back as he went away. A cold face on Agren's old face arrived. At this time, as prime minister, I still only think about my own self-interest. Such a country should deserve to die! What I have done is just to follow the guidance of the gods
"Elder, do you really want to send the one hundred thousand gold in the evening..." The servant who had just sent the order returned and hesitated.
"Oh, what do you think?" The old corner of Agaren's mouth showed a smile. Since the Central Church had agreed, then the prime minister Yu Fenglong would have no value. What qualification would he have to take this one hundred thousand? Jin, as for saying that Yu Fenglong will retaliate, this is no longer important, because the financial erosion of Central Biya has decided everything,
Before making this request, he already had a full understanding of the finances of the Central Church of China. The Treasury of China has completely bottomed out, and although the empire has liberalized the siege of Deyang, it is 100,000. The food requirements sent back by the Biya Army also made the whole Central Asian country battered. They had no idea what to do.
One hundred thousand army, that is, one hundred thousand wailing mouths, to eat, to receive rates, to win bounty, every stroke, every item, are astronomical figures, now even if the entire treasury is turned over, afraid It wasn’t even reachable in Chengdu. Besides, this Deyang victory, the Chinese and Mongolian army, always known for being weak, actually held the strong frontier of the imperial army south in Deyang, and finally forced the imperial army to retreat to the big. The river channel, the great victory of Deyang, and the shock of the people's hearts have made the reputation of the Central Asian soldiers even more popular. Even in the world, it has been popularly said that in a few years of war, Centralbia has reborn and has been able to confront the world's first military power. Not falling down, this is the result of the return of the sage king, but it can be regarded as a good face for the emperor of Centralbia, Longyan joy, domestic up and down, it is a warrior who wants to reward the Deyang
On Deyang’s side, the rewards of various names reported from one to the other, like a hill, pressed on the desk of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and temporarily mobilized 30 accounts from the treasury, also calculated the rewards day and night. That is, only the first half of the rewards for officers are already in the amount of millions of dollars, and the latter, officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been afraid to count them anymore.
There is no money, the empty treasury can starve rats,
What about an empty treasury? If there is not enough rewards, what if the army is in trouble, not to mention, before the war, the princes of all parties in order to inspire the military, and to launch the Deyang front-line generals as long as they can resist the attack of the Imperial Army, as long as they win, Only by giving double bounty, can barely inspire the morale of the army,
At that time, Chao Tang agreed that if the 100,000 Chinese army faced the imperial army going south, even if they could finally win, it must be a terrible victory. Among the 100,000 people, it can already survive for 20,000 or 30,000. Even if it is a double The reward was doubled, and five or six hundred thousand was also sent. However, unexpectedly, the Imperial Army gave up Deyang. Although the front line of Deyang was somewhat damaged, there were only thousands of people, and the gap with the original prediction was huge. The Hundred Thousand Army needs rewards, such a huge amount of money, the ministers of the court are all blue, this is a pot and iron, and the rewards can not be ah. The double rewards mentioned originally are not mentioned at the moment.
In this case, it was a strange thing to draw a five-million-dollar steamed bun, and it would be a strange thing for the Central Church of China to refuse. You can know from Yu Fenglong’s imperial prime minister's six consecutive visits The Chinese side believes that agreeing to build churches in six port cities is definitely a huge advantage.
In fact, how do these stupid Central Biya people know that Aden is already ready to go, and the landing point is set in six port cities
In order to weaken the resistance of the six ports to the greatest extent, this time it was nominally to build a church. In fact, the workers sent to build are genuine Aden warriors, the number of which is three or four thousand, these Aden warriors will receive the signal Later ~EbookFREE.me~ The six ports were completely controlled for the first time. The six ports in Centralbia have so many troops. They are basically in accordance with the configuration of the six hundred and one provinces, and they are still low-power cities. The guards only need three hundred Aden warriors to completely control the port and open the door to victory in advance for the landing of the army. As long as the six city lanes fall into the hands of the landing army of Aden, the war of conquest of Aden against Central Abia equals half of the victory
"The time is at most half a month. Even if the prime minister of Central Asia wants to do anything, what good is it! As the prime minister, Yu Fenglong knows better than anyone. At this moment, these five One million dollars is the life-saving straw of Central Asia! Even if Yu Fenglong wanted to retaliate against us, he would have to wait for the five million dollars to get his hands."
Agron coughed dryly, and his somewhat muddled eyes became clear, and turned and walked into a courtyard behind the hall
In the neat marble courtyard outside the hallway, several Aden officers in mail armor stood seriously on both sides. When they saw Agron, they knelt on one knee on the ground,
On the Guangping in the middle of the courtyard, hundreds of heavily armed Aden warriors were straight and did not squint, and the atmosphere of the killing diffused was enough to prove that these hundreds of Aden warriors were all war-torn warriors. In Aden, then some people will recognize these murderous Aden warriors. It is the famous guardian warriors directly under the Aden Red Dragon Temple. These guardian warriors are adopted by the Red Dragon Temple from orphans and slaves. Cultivated as a warrior since childhood, there is no doubt about the loyalty to the Red Dragon Temple,
Stopping in front of the quiet courtyard where Guangping can hear the leaves falling, Agron's eyes swept across these firm and young faces, and in the faintly excited eyes, there was an extra complex, raising his hand, condensing He said, "My children, are you ready?"
