Steel Dynasty - Chapter 900

[Chapter 898 A huge windfall (congratulations to me, Brother Da Fei, for being promoted to the leader of the alliance!)]

Under the sky as deep as sapphire.

Lin’an City was covered by artillery fire and gunfire. In order to prevent the attack of the royal soldiers, Sima Hao put most of his troops into the trenches. Now that the trenches were captured and the soldiers dispersed, Lin’an City became meat on the chopping block.

“Kill!”

Tens of thousands of royal soldiers poured into Lin’an City from all directions. The wealthy families who resisted in the city did not even have time to escape, and could only tremble under the power of the royal soldiers.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin successfully joined forces at this time, and they entered Lin’an City together under the protection of soldiers.

“It’s been almost two months, and Lin’an City has finally been captured.” Luo Xin looked relaxed.

“Lin’an was won, but the Merchant Council is becoming more active in the south, and the battle is still going on.” Lu Fei frowned.

Luo Xin said calmly: “If we don’t fight as soldiers, how can we go home and sell sweet potatoes? I don’t want to have no war to fight one day and can only hunt birds.”

“Hey, don’t think about this. The emperor is ambitious. From now on, There are still many wars going on. This time the merchant council has the support of Western countries. With the temper of our emperor, can we spare them?” Lu Fei sneered.

The two of them go to the Army Academy to study every year. They now understand the current situation in the world very well, and they also know that most of the vassal states surrounding Dayu were occupied and colonized by the West.

Even if there is no colonized country, it still poses a full threat to the Great Chongqing Country. In the view of the two, the surrounding environment faced by the Great Chongqing Country is very complicated.

“So, we need to solve the Merchant Council as soon as possible. If the country is not stable, how can we fight externally?” Luo Xin’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

Lu Fei nodded. In fact, they began to expand their army after the Northern Expedition began, but now the expanded army faced an embarrassing problem, that is, equipment.

Nowadays, the production of muskets has basically stopped, and the production of Falcon rifles is currently unable to meet the needs of so many armies.

The only way now is to wait for the equipment to be in place. In this way, their current number of soldiers can be at least doubled.

Although they want to expand more armies, unlike the extensive army in the cold weapon era, it now costs more money to train a soldier holding a Falcon rifle.

After all, food, rifles, helmets, military uniforms, and training all cost more money than before, and sometimes this is not a matter of money, but also depends on the production capacity of the military workshop.

Because of so many factors, the army cannot be expanded in the past way. It can only increase the number of armies step by step. When the military workshop is more complete, they may be able to expand more armies at once.

“Let’s solve the immediate problem first. I hope we can make big gains in Lin’an City this time. Now the industry in the north is developing rapidly and is in urgent need of financial support. This time when we go south, the Holy Lord can count on us to collect their wealth and concentrate on promoting industry. Development.”

Lu Fei pondered for a while and said to Luo Xin.

“Oops, I almost forgot about this. This time we want to see how much money there is in the Chu State’s treasury.” Luo Xin laughed.

While the two were talking, the royal soldiers quickly occupied all the important roads in Lin’an City, and at the same time quickly eradicated the remaining troops of the wealthy families in the city, and surrounded the Chu Palace.

Luo Xin and Lu Fei learned the news and got up and went to the Chu Palace.

“Commander Luo, Commander Lu, they are still fighting stubbornly.” Seeing the arrival of the two, a regiment commander came to report.

At this time, gunshots continued to be heard from the Prince of Chu’s Mansion, and the royal soldiers were fighting fiercely with them in the Prince of Chu’s Mansion.

“It’s true that I can’t shed tears until I see the coffin.” To the two of them, Sima Hao is just a small figure, not important at all, so they don’t have any scruples. “Go and get three hundred grenades right now and knock down Prince Chu’s palace.”

“Yes.” The leader took the order and left.

A quarter of an hour later, the commander of the offensive team received the grenades. After a brief familiarization, they distributed the grenades to their soldiers.

After a while, continuous explosions came from the Chu Palace, and the gunfire gradually stopped.

Then, the leader of the regiment responsible for attacking the Prince of Chu’s Mansion came out and reported, “Commander, the Prince of Chu’s Mansion has been controlled by us. We have killed a total of 507 wealthy people and captured 213 people. Sima Hao has committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine.”

Lu Fei nodded lightly, “If you die, you will die. We will not waste our bullets. Choose one of them who knows a lot to lead the way. The others will be shot on the spot.”

“Yes.”

The order was passed on, and after a while Continuous gunshots were heard from inside the King of Chu, and at the same time, a wealthy man whose legs were weak from fear was brought out.

“Commander, his name is Sima Ying, and he is the youngest son of Sima Hao. He said that he knows where the treasury of Lin’an City is and where the wealth of other wealthy families is.”

Luo Xin and Lu Fei were overjoyed. This is what they want, the dividends of this war going south. Much better than the Northern Expedition.

It can be said that the Northern Expedition basically resulted in losses, and further losses when going south would be unjustifiable.

“Lead the way, if you can bring us enough wealth, we can spare your life.” Lu Feisen said coldly.

Sima Ying was so frightened that he didn’t dare to refute. He stood up hard, pointed at the Chu Palace and said: “The treasury is in the Chu Palace and can be entered through the secret passage of the palace.”

After hearing this, Lu Fei and Luo Xin immediately brought He led Sima Ying into the Chu Palace.

While observing the Prince of Chu’s palace, Lu Fei said: “This Prince of Chu is extravagant. This palace is bigger and more luxurious than the emperor’s palace. It is really treason.”

“Hey, this just shows how rich the Chu country is now. It is really a great pleasure to have all the wealth of Chu State fall into our hands.”

The two of them talked all the way to the lake in the palace. The lake was about 300 meters long and wide, and there were many rockeries surrounding the lake.

Sima Ying led everyone to the highest rockery. This rockery was covered with vines and looked nothing special. “This is where the treasury is.” Sima Ying lifted up the vines, revealing a stone door.

“Go in!” In order to prevent fraud, Lu Fei asked Sima Ying to go in first.

Shivering in fright at Lu Fei’s order, Sima Ying pushed open the stone door and walked inside.

Everyone followed Sima Ying and quickly reached the bottom through the downward passage. At this time, they saw a huge space illuminated by lights.

“Oh my god, now we are rich.”

Before Lu Fei and Luo Xin could speak, the leader of the team exclaimed.

“You’re making a fuss, don’t embarrass me.” Lu Fei raised his foot and kicked his regiment commander. This was his soldier and he knew him.

“Li Chuyuan doesn’t even know how many things there are here. After the death of the old King Chu, this place has been controlled by us. In fact, this is only a part. This secret room is also connected to other secret rooms. Please follow me.”

Sima Ying dare not He lied, wishing he could pour out everything he knew in exchange for his life.

PS: After coding, I found more alliance leaders. Thanks to me, Brother Da Fei. I can’t add more tonight. I will update tomorrow night.
