A woman can stir up troubles in the imperial capital by herself. You can imagine how terrifying such a woman is.
Bai Youxuan looked at the man in front of her, who had been with her for thirty years, and felt reluctant to give up. But many times, everyone has their own choices. For example, Si Huateng, the 'King of Changling', faced with the crisis of interests and power, he
You can let your wife go.
Time can change many things. Perhaps the current King of Changling is no longer the elegant, affectionate and righteous Si Huateng.
"how?"
Si Huateng looked at Bai Youxuan anxiously. At this time, he was already a little confused. Without the 'Changling' armored city, even if the 'Lingwang City' was consumed, it would not be very meaningful to capture the Manbach family's armored city formation.
big.
Bai Youxuan took a deep breath and her eyes gradually became firm: "Li Yinguang wants to trade Si Hualing for the personnel of the Manbach family and the Iron Armor City formation, as well as the land deed mining rights of the Guifengshan Mine."
Si Huateng was startled, frowned and cursed sullenly: "Wishful thinking, who is Li Yinguang? He dares to negotiate terms with me and wants the Guifengshan Mine. Why doesn't he just go and rob it!"
The civil servants and generals behind him murmured in their hearts, aren't they just robbing!
The Guifengshan Mine was not worth much in the past, but now the smell of gunpowder between the Obsidian Empire and the Shenglong Snow Mountain Dragon Clan is getting stronger and stronger. No one can say whether there will be a real fight. Over in the Manbach Town area,
The price of black fuel has increased more than ten times. Although the increase in black fuel in Changling County is only two or three times, which is not very big, if there is a real fight, the value of the Guifengshan Mine will not be what it is now.
.
Bai Youxuan did not stop King Changling from cursing. After he finished cursing, he said calmly: "The Changling has been devoured by the Gubao. Now, none of us know how strong the Gubao's armored city is.
, Si Hualing, Mu Qihu and others were ambushed again. If we don't agree to Li Yinguang's request, he is likely to turn around and attack 'Lingwang City' in a few hours."
Looking at the ugly Si Huateng, he continued without waiting for him to speak: "It is not easy for Lingwang City to trap the Manbach family's armored city formation. If the Castle's armored city attacks Lingwang City, then Changling
You will lose all the foundation you have built over the past thirty years."
After a slight pause, he added: "You won't even be able to leave Changling County. By then, not counting the Guifengshan Mine, I'm afraid all other properties in your hands will also be taken away!"
"He dares!"
Si Huateng had a dark face and shouted loudly: "I am the King of Changling, the lord of Changling County canonized by the empire. If he dares to rob me, he is an enemy of the empire!"
Bai Youxuan reminded calmly: "You have forgotten that Li Yinguang is a noble and belongs to the 'Golden Peony' noble branch. According to the imperial system, if he robs you and defeats you, not only the property in your hands, but also your lord's
It is very likely that he will take away the title!"
The aristocratic system of the Obsidian Empire is very large, and there are so many nobles of various sizes in the empire. In many cases, 'nobility' is just a status title and has no value.
But sometimes, noble status can change a lot of things, such as pressure from the empire. The empire does not prohibit nobles from competing for territory, territories, and even resources. After all, there are so many nobles and many lords, which is a bit
Can't handle it.
The lord has great autonomy in his own territory. He can develop his own industry, agriculture, commerce, and military. It is basically the same as a small country. However, sometimes, under pressure, he must obey the orders of the empire.
And taxes have to be paid every year.
If an ordinary person kills a local lord and wants to take away the lord's identity, industry, and territory, this will definitely not work. The empire will send out legions to kill the 'rebels', take back everything, and then reward it to another person.
A lord.
But if the lord is seized by other lords or killed, it means that he died in vain, as long as the winning lord pays part of the tax to the empire.
The ranks of the nobility are further divided into viscount, earl, duke and grand duke. In theory, the "viscount" has the right to become a lord.
But many times, nobles are also divided into strong and weak. Some nobles are deeply rooted, and some nobles gradually decline. Because the number of nobles is too large, let alone the empire can't control it, even some imperial noble families cannot take care of them.
For example, Li Yinguang, a down-and-out nobleman, although he belongs to the "Golden Peony" noble branch, he is not a direct descendant, so the main branch will not give him any help. He can only rely on himself or his descendants if he wants to revive.
‘Golden Peony’, ‘Purple Golden Flower’, ‘Biluolan’, ‘Bronze Cart’, ‘Crystal Plum’, ‘Fire Bronze Ox’, ‘Cross Sword’, ‘Golden Pigeon’ and ‘Golden Tiger’ are collectively known as the nine noble totems of the human race!
For example, Si Huateng's Si Hua family also belongs to the 'Golden Peony' aristocratic branch, but he will not be related to Li Yinguang's family for eight hundred years.
In addition to the totem title of 'Nine Nobles', there are hundreds of other noble titles, large and small.
But the "Nine Nobles" have a system that continues to this day, that is, the human race will not prevent the revival of the "Nine Nobles"!
What do you mean? Li Yinguang is a down-and-out noble, but he is a branch of the 'Golden Peony' noble line. There are only 8,000 or not 10,000 branches like this in the Obsidian Empire, so they are not very important.
The premise is that you are ordinary, mediocre, and don’t have much ability!
But when it has developed to Li Yinguang's current level, it is different, because he has risen and has a certain scale and power. At this time, his status as a "noble" has become more and more important.
If Li Yinguang's ancient castle, the Iron Armored City, can defeat the 'Lingwang City' and capture Changling King Sihuateng, then all the properties under Sihuateng's name, including the territory, can be taken as his own. At that time, he only needs to convey his identity information.
If you give it to the empire, you can get the 'Lord' to accept your fate.
The above are all part of the "Nobles' Treaty", and the "Nobles' Treaty" is not limited to the Obsidian Empire, including the current royal family of the Obsidian Empire, they are all nobles, and the "Nobles' Treaty" applies to them all.
After the rise of the nobility, the empire can be eliminated as a potential enemy, but it must be recognized and recognized.
Because in the past few thousand years, almost all empires have evolved from thousands of lords. Lords can occupy a larger territory, then overthrow the old empire and create a new empire.
To put it simply, for example, the ‘Obsidian Empire’ is just a ‘lord’ with a large territory.
Listening to Bai Youxuan's words, Changling Wang Sihuateng fell into silence.
Lingwang City may not necessarily lose if it simply resists the Castle's armored city, but the problem now is that there is also the Manbach family's armored city formation in the port!
In the past, it was "catching a turtle in a urn", but now, it has become "internal and external troubles".
