Is this negotiation between the Cao Family Trading Company a smoke and mirrors? Are they doing this because of this matter? Such things have always been speculated by everyone in the Southern Empire, but what they don't know is that the current Cao Family Trading Company

How powerful are the frontline troops? At this time, the Cao Family Trading Company also turned its attention to the frontline troops of the Southern Empire. A series of propaganda campaigns were also launched on them. What do you guys do every month?

It’s just one tael of silver, which is really too low. You must know that you are working for the people of the Southern Empire now. Your life is less than a hundred kilograms of grain. A life is so cheap, and you die.

What will your family get after you receive it? What effect does this 10 taels of blood gold have on your family? You can feed them for a few days. Those who go to the battlefield will always be poor people.

When did you see those rich kids coming to the battlefield? Even if they came, they probably wouldn't be in a place like this. How was your life? Well, let's not talk about those things.

Let’s talk about your treatment on the battlefield. When you arrive on the battlefield, what do you eat? How many days do you have to have a full stomach? What do you do most of the time? You are all hungry, even if you are

They won't let you eat all that miscellaneous grain. Where did that grain go? It was all divided by some officials in the rear. They sold your good grain and left some rotten grain.

Even if I give you food, it's impossible for you all to be full. Is such a country, such an army, and such officials worth your life for them? Think about it carefully.

It can be said that in the past, the army of the Southern Empire did not know what propaganda warfare was. For them, it had never been heard of. Now that they have encountered it, they have no corresponding propaganda methods and no countermeasures.

So their army began to be in chaos, and the spies from the Cao Family Trading Company were fanning the flames in their army. This thing was a bit funny. Many soldiers from the Southern Empire gathered outside their general's camp, asking them questions.

Did all the food have to be sold by the officers above? Naturally, the generals have no way to explain this matter. Those of them who work in martial arts schools don't have much chance to make money in normal times. They serve as officials for thousands of miles just for money.

Everyone understands the truth. If we only rely on the small salary given by the court, we will not be able to live. We have to rely on ourselves for everything. It is precisely for this reason that each of these guys has a deep feeling in their hearts.

They were all very depressed. The reason why the generals didn't come out to explain was that this thing really existed. These people really gave money to Tan Mo. Now it got better. A large number of people started to cause trouble everywhere. At the beginning, they were still in trouble.

I just asked some officers. But at noon, when the marching firemen prepared the food, they stopped eating. In the past, everyone was very happy to see such mixed noodles.

It's clear, but now they don't have such a consciousness. They think these things are for pigs to eat. Those people opposite are right. I am all fighting on the front line. If you are not here to beg for food, just give it to us.

Can you tolerate eating such a thing with your own conscience? Every one of them wants to go up and kill these people. They feel really uncomfortable.

Some lower-level officers became the masterminds of this incident. It can be said that the treatment of lower-level officers is not much different from that of soldiers. The treatment of lower-level officers in the Southern Empire is not as good as that of an ordinary soldier in the Cao Family Trading Company. They want to improve their situation.

There is no way to deal with the treatment at all. Why? Because the upper-level officers of the Southern Empire have already drank all the oil and water they can drink. Even if they want to drink, they have no chance. They can only suffer honestly.

That's right, of course I don't have the guts to do that in normal times. Now that I see how excited the brothers are, one by one they start to cause trouble and mutiny... All the generals have clearly recognized this fact.

, more than tens of millions of troops on the front line have entered a state of mutiny. If there is trouble in other places, it is nothing. Just ask people in the army to suppress it. But now it is the army that is making trouble. Who can we ask to suppress it?

What? Let the army suppress it. The result may be that the army that suppressed it in the past will also fall into mutiny. Although tens of millions is a small amount for the more than one billion troops on the front line, there is no guarantee that he will not

The expansion is now about to spread. The general on the front line has a headache. He himself hates these behaviors of exchanging food. He himself does not eat the money. Although he hates it, he

We also know that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If these generals are blocked from getting rich, then they will not work hard to fight. Sometimes things are like this, and this situation must be allowed.

What has developed healthily now means that it is unhealthy. Many people are in this situation. They are speechless about this and don't know what to do.

Seeing something like this happening on the front line of the Southern Empire, Li Cong had already ordered this side to start preparing for the next wave of offensive. Since the Southern Empire did not agree with the current situation, it was necessary to fight until they agreed.

Looking at the signing of some treaties on the earth, there are basically some intersperses in the middle. Under Li Cong's order, Wu Zuoxi and Gu Xin forcefully evacuated the capital of the Southern Empire. This made the senior officials of the Southern Empire feel a little bit.

They were caught off guard. They never thought that Wu Zuoxi would be so tough. They had to know that when he was working with senior officials of the Southern Empire, he could smile like a flower on his face, but now he has changed.

It has become like this. This change seems a bit unacceptable. Such things also make them all feel that something is wrong. Sure enough, later that day, the Cao Family Trading Company's eight divisions of 101, 102, 103, 107, 109, 114, 116, and 120 totaled about 700,000

The army began to attack HJ Province, the second line of defense of the former Southern Empire. All six counties and cities in the south of the province were attacked. Cao Family Trading Company's nine divisions of 077,076,077,078,079,080,081,0/82,085 had nearly 800,000 troops.

An attack was also launched on the Yui Province in the central part of the Southern Empire, and the war was started again. At the same time, the Cao Family Trading Company's four naval squadrons of 011, 012, 013, and 014, with more than 200 warships, and the 325th and 327th independent marine regiments of the Marine Corps attacked the Southern Empire.

The empire's remaining few seaports will be attacked again. If their attack succeeds this time, it is estimated that all seaports in the Southern Empire will suddenly disappear. This will not cause much harm to the Southern Empire, anyway.

They didn't need access to the sea in the past.

It can be said that the troops of the Cao Family Trading Company moved quickly. Each of these troops did not take any rest before launching another attack on the battlefield. It can be said that this was the first attack launched by the Cao Family Trading Company after it was reorganized.

It was not a small attack, because after the second line of defense was broken by the Cao Family Trading Company, there was no longer a decent line of defense behind the Southern Empire. Therefore, the Cao Family Trading Company's attack had to come from one county to another.

Generally speaking, there are not many garrisons in these counties and cities. A regiment of 5,000 people with an artillery battalion of 16 127MM heavy artillery and an artillery battalion of 24 92MM mountain guns can take down a county and city.

This time I just asked them to stop, and they would never really expand the war. Because the area occupied by the Cao Family Trading Bank is not very peaceful now. This time the war only captured dozens of people from two provinces.

It's just a county. As for the navy, they must succeed. As long as they occupy all the sea areas of the Southern Empire, it will be very simple to attack them in the future. Moreover, the surveying and mapping team of the Cao Family Trading Company has already set off.

.They want to investigate some rivers in the Southern Empire. If they still refuse to sign an agreement with them, they will go directly up these rivers. By then, even if you want to sign this contract, it will be impossible.

Maybe we will go directly to your capital along the canal you opened. At that time, what we want will not be hundreds of counties and cities, but maybe thousands. Just look at the Southern Empire.

Do you have this ability? Besides, Li Cong now has an exchange system. Serial crossbows and other items can be exchanged directly. It doesn't matter if the silver is more expensive. What he lacks is weapons, and there is no shortage of silver.

Although the crossbow arrows of the serial crossbow can also be exchanged, Li Cong will not do such a thing now. Crossbow arrows can be said to be a very important industry chain. Crossbow arrows are made by ordinary people, and they all like them.

After getting such a job, it is very easy for the people of Cao's Trading Company to control them. If they are not allowed to do this thing, I estimate that each of them may be dissatisfied. Now the world is against Cao's Trading Company

There are so many people who are dissatisfied. Winning more people's hearts now may bring the people of Cao's Commercial Bank to a higher level, so there are some things that cannot be done, but Li Cong also exchanged some for himself.

The army will not be out of stock in times of emergency. Li Cong is very clear about settling accounts. It is said that the people in the Cao family business are very good at using weapons. This weapon can only cost a few silver. If you use the store more, the soldiers will have one more way to survive.

If a soldier is unfortunately killed, the blood payment system provided by the Cao Family Trading Company may cause them to lose more, so they must not be allowed to save weapons. On the contrary, they must be encouraged, such as attacking

When you are in the city, as long as you see someone on the city wall, there will be a hail of arrows immediately. It doesn't matter. There is no shortage of those bows and arrows. The premise is that you can be safe. If you hide, you can use artillery. Anyway, that thing

It can also be built with money, and there can be a lot of them on the earth if construction is started at full strength. The same is true for the navy's warships. A ship is firmly prohibited from sailing independently. This is not possible, and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of it.

Yes, it would be enough if two ships passed by. At least one would be helpful. The soldiers still supported Li Cong's decision.

It can be said that it is very rare that the Cao Family Trading Company can provide 17 divisions plus 3 divisions of reserves this time. Apart from these troops, they probably cannot provide them at all. Each of these people also knows them.

In terms of their own abilities, they really don't have much strength in normal times. They all know in their hearts that when the Cao Family Trading Company's army reaches its current level, they have too many places to defend. Let's just say that the original one now

Don't worry, the second line of the Southern Empire. How long has it been? Cao's trading company's hundreds of millions of troops will start to defend. Otherwise, they may be counterattacked by the Southern Empire's army in the future. In this case, everything they have will be destroyed.

In vain, the Southern Empire's army can still put a lot of pressure on the Cao Family Trading Company's army. As long as others want to do it, the Cao Family Trading Company's army still has no chance. Li Cong made this

It’s just a gesture, telling you that in the Southern Empire, as long as it is something that is not available at the negotiation table, we people from the Cao Family Trading Company will get it on the battlefield. The people in the Southern Empire also understood after experiencing the initial panic.

, this time we must resist the attack of the Cao Family Trading Company. As long as we can resist it, the negotiations will be possible again. If we cannot resist it, it is estimated that the Southern Empire may really suffer a big loss.

, next time people from Cao's Trading Company come to negotiate, they probably won't have these demands now, and even the top management of Rain Shoes is worried. After agreeing to these conditions, there won't be so many things, this Cao's Trading Company

People from dozens of provinces can get along well with us, but those from dozens of provinces are all given to people from the Cao Family Trading Company. How can they feel at ease in their hearts? This is definitely the sinner in history.

.

In addition to the territorial issue that they cannot agree to, the other issue is the compensation issue. The good guy's compensation of 50 trillion taels of silver, based on the superficial income of the Southern Empire, their annual income is about 5 trillion taels of silver, so they

It would take ten years without food and drink to pay them back. Even if they were paid in installments according to the calculation method of Cao's Commercial Bank, they would not get a penny of tax in these thirty years.

It has to be handed over to the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. They don’t have a penny. How should the entire empire operate at that time? We can’t let everyone go drink from the northwest wind, otherwise the people in the southern empire will not be able to do it.

When you arrive, will you borrow money from the Cao Family Trading Company? In the end, you won’t know how much money you owe them. At that time, you have to do whatever they want to do to you. These officials are all

All of them are good at settling accounts. At that time, the income of the entire empire was in the hands of the Cao Family Trading Company. Even if they wanted to get some money, it was impossible. After hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, the Southern Empire had

There are a lot of weapons and other things in this warehouse. There is no problem if you want to form a large number of teams again, but the senior officials of the Southern Empire do not dare to do the same thing as last time. Last time, they were just trying to catch strong men.

The problem caused half of the Southern Empire to fall into chaos. Now that we have finally suppressed some peasant uprisings that were easier to suppress, how could we do the same wrong thing? Moreover, even if we recruit so many soldiers, we can't

They may have all been transported, and coupled with the mutiny of the frontline soldiers, these soldiers may have turned into rioters before they have passed. This may not be a good thing for the Southern Empire, and it needs to be considered in the long run.

None of the senior officials of the Southern Empire are fools. They can only concentrate their troops on the front line to pursue and intercept the more than one million troops of the Cao Family Trading Company. As long as they defeat this one, it will be the best.

Okay, when they made the battle plan, another thing happened again. The impact of this thing was even more powerful. Li Cong dispatched more than 50,000 large airships carrying more than 2 million tons of various bombs for air strikes.

There are about 300 counties and cities in the south, and the people in these 300 cities have also known that the war is actually very close to them. Since the air strikes were only on some city walls and military equipment in these cities, the losses to the people were not very big.

, but the fear of the common people is absolute. The common people were all dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen? The Cao Family Trading Company's army was still thousands of miles south of them. Why did they wake up when they woke up?

Just saying that they were in front of them, many people ran to the city wall to have a look. Isn't this the city wall that cost hundreds of thousands of silver to be rebuilt last year? What has it become now? Everything has turned into a pile.

After making a lot of money, everything is useless. Doesn't this kind of thing count as nothing in Cao's Trading Company? They just gave us a warning. If this is a real attack, can we hold on? Now the Southern Empire

More than 10 billion people in the south are in panic. They were unwilling to become soldiers in the first place after seeing the powerful weapons of the Cao Family Trading Company. This is really too difficult for them.

None of them wanted this. They all thought about whether the war would come to their own areas, and each one of them began to take to the streets to protest against the government's ideas and wanted a ceasefire.

The power of people's hearts is terrible, and the power of people's hearts can also be used. People in the Southern Empire will not use these things, so they will fail in the confrontation with Cao's Company. The people of Cao's Company's use of people's hearts is really good.

It's very powerful. Take the current situation as an example. What the Cao Family Trading Company's army did really frightened them all. The Cao Family Trading Company's army didn't come over, but who knew that their thing flying in the sky wouldn't?

Some bombs were dropped and killed them all. They all knew what those people were saying and hadn't come yet, but how could you solve this security problem? As a result, the people in the government didn't know how to answer them at all.

Okay, if you don't say anything, we have to have our own ideas. The troublemakers were all wealthy households. When they saw that no one in the government was taking care of this matter, they immediately started running north with their gold and silver.

, they ran away, and of course some of the shops they ran were forgotten. It was impossible for them to continue to operate, which affected the lives of all ordinary people. When they went to the streets to do something, there was no one to do it.

Well, a large number of ordinary people also felt that something was wrong, and they all started to make a fuss in front of them, asking the government what was going on. These local officials didn't care what time it was. They first took care of their own family members.

They were sent away, and then they asked the yamen servants to start beating up the people outside one by one. As for the things mentioned above, we don’t know how to do that, and I don’t think that method will have any effect.

Yes, none of them are as useful as the one in front of me. It will scare you all directly, so that things will be easier to do. See if you dare to make trouble one by one? It would be strange if you don't go back.

It is an ironclad fact that it is best not to act recklessly during the civil uprising. However, it seems that many people in the Southern Empire did not think of this. They just wanted to suppress the civil uprising quickly, but the result was counterproductive. The entire

Most of the people in the Southern Empire were furious. What the hell kind of government is this? They couldn't even ask casual questions, but they actually suppressed the people. As a result, more people rushed over and surrounded them.

The government wanted to find out what happened. Some places inside were okay, and their control was pretty good. Even if there were some peasant soldiers around, they didn't dare to go to such a big city to cause trouble, but they were on the border.

The city lords of these counties and cities in the Southern Empire had no intention of going to see what was going on outside, because the spies had already told them that the Cao Family Trading Company's army had already arrived at the city, and these city lords were trembling.

Trembling, I went to the city wall to take a look. I almost peed myself with fright. Damn it, didn't I say that we wanted to have peace talks? How could there be so many troops from the Cao Family Trading Company? What the hell do you call me?

In response, the city lords immediately responded by pulling all the people in their city to defend the city to see how powerful their people were. However, they suddenly thought that the army in the city seemed to be less than 100,000 people.

Most of them have already stopped to visit their families because of the war. Although their homes are all around, those soldiers are all experienced. Usually they may return to the army on time, but
To be continued...
