"What? An invasion of 30,000 troops from Vientiane Kingdom?"
"Dali's Tiger and Wolf Army has arrived at the border?"
"..."
The relevant news spread quickly, and all the major chieftains also received the news, and each one of them looked a little ugly.
If it were before, they might not be so nervous.
They can play both ways.
But things are different now. With the large-scale development of the Southwest and the construction of state-level highways, the entire Southwest is showing signs of prosperity.
Moreover, they also spent a lot of money on this.
At this time, even Luo Xingchen was not willing to start a war.
But this is obviously not up to them.
"Chief Tian, what do you think?"
At this time, all the chief chieftains were invited to Bozhou. On the way to the Yamen, many chieftains gathered together.
Sizhou Tianshi is the largest regional chieftain among the four major chieftains.
Its military strength is second only to Banzhou.
Many little chieftains looked at Tian Jiye, because they all knew the purpose of this call.
Tian Jiye frowned and said nothing, but asked: "What does Patriarch Luo think?"
Luo Xingchen said: "Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom invaded at the same time. The imperial court may not be able to resist it. We want them to take action. Once our soldiers are lost there, I'm afraid..."
He didn't say it all, but the meaning was clear.
The major chieftains relied on their own soldiers.
Once their soldiers are lost, they will no longer have the capital to negotiate with the imperial court.
All the chief toasts couldn't help but nod.
Although the various policies of the imperial court during this period have indeed brought them a lot of benefits, no one is willing to give up the rights they have obtained.
When you are a chieftain, you are a native emperor, and the court cannot do anything. You have to make your own decisions.
so……
Tian Jiye didn't speak, but his face was a little solemn.
Bozhou magistrate's office.
At this time, all the chief toasts had arrived. Everyone looked a little ugly and talked a lot.
"I heard that the Governor of the Southwest has gone to stop the Wanxiang Kingdom. The troops in the southwest battlefield are simply not enough to resist Dali's tiger and wolf army."
"Yes! What should we do now?"
"..."
The major toasts had mixed reactions.
The little toast was really worried and looked anxious.
The development during this period has virtually tied everyone together.
Big Toast is relatively calm, but also very limited.
At this time, Lin Bai, Yang Shaoying and others had arrived. In addition, Mrs. Chanai and Lu Zhendong had all arrived one by one.
"Master Lin, what is the current situation? Does the court have any countermeasures?"
"Yes! Can it withstand the invasion of the two countries?"
"..."
All the chieftains looked over.
Lin Bai looked calm.
He had no choice but to remain calm. As the special envoy to the southwest, if he was not calm, then these people would lose even more confidence, and it would be even more difficult for him to borrow troops.
Just kidding, who would lend troops to someone who has no confidence at all?
Isn’t that a death wish?
Therefore, the great talent was very calm, looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, don't be anxious, everything is as expected by the court."
After everyone heard this, they felt a little calmer.
Seeing this, Luo Xingchen quickly said: "Let me tell you! Mr. Lin must have a way. He definitely doesn't need to borrow troops from us. What can our small number of troops be used for, but you are still worried..."
Lin Bai:%￥#@#￥%￥
Good guy!
You haven't opened your mouth yet, why are you trying to silence me now?
Lin Bai's eyes twitched.
Yang Shaoying's face also became a little ugly. With Luo Xingchen blocking her like this, it was really hard for her nephew to speak.
He immediately shouted, "Luo Xingchen, there's no need to keep talking here. You and I are both chieftains of the Southwest. We are both responsible for the crisis the Southwest is facing. What? Do you still want to stand by and watch?"
really!
It's different to have a backer, and the talented man feels a little relieved.
Luo Xingchen smiled and said: "Clan Chief Yang is naturally shouldering the responsibility. Bozhou gets all the benefits, but I, Shuidong, don't get much credit."
The corners of Yang Shaoying's mouth twitched. He really couldn't refute this.
In fact, Banshu did receive a lot of benefits.
Mrs. Chanai interjected: "Is Patriarch Luo jealous? I can only blame you for not believing in Mr. Lin. Bozhou fully supports Mr. Lin. Except for the initial construction of the new city, the subsequent investment promotion and state-level highway plans, all major chieftains treat him equally. "
"Everyone sees this, and Chief Tian should know it best, right?"
During this period, Sizhou performed extremely well in all aspects and gained a lot of benefits.
Tian Jiye said: "That's right! Mr. Lin is fair and not partial. As the first new city in the Southwest, it is the symbol and reputation of the Southwest Development. Even if it is a little biased, it is appropriate."
He said it lightly.
All the chieftains understood this.
Because everyone knows that according to the current progress of state-level highway construction, Sizhou will most likely be the first to complete the goal.
In other words, the second new city is likely to be Sizhou.
So naturally he said that.
"We have no objection to Mr. Lin's fairness in dealing with matters. Moreover, after the implementation of the Commerce Act, the changes in the southwest have been obvious to all."
"Yes! We believe Mr. Lin."
"Master Lin, what's going on right now? With these troops in the southwest, can they handle it?"
"..."
All the chieftains looked at him one after another.
Lin Bai saw everyone's expressions.
good!
The performance of these people was much better than expected. Except for some resistance from a few chieftains such as Luo Xingchen, there were no problems.
Of course, if you stand from the perspective of these people, the great genius can understand it.
Resistance is normal, these people wanted to kill him at first!
But I guess no one thinks about it now.
Everyone wants to follow him and make money!
"Everyone!"
Lin Bai raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Clan Chief Luo is right! There is no need for the imperial court to borrow troops from the Southwest Chieftain..."
As soon as these words came out, not only the crowd, but also Yang Shaoying's face changed. What kind of trouble is my nephew and aunt doing?
Isn't it just to call in everyone to borrow troops? how……
The same goes for all the major chieftains. At this time, everyone is summoned. What else can they do besides borrowing troops?
But at this moment, the talented man actually denied it, which undoubtedly surprised them all.
Lu Zhendong also frowned and looked at Lin Bai in confusion.
Lin Bai, however, remained calm and said, "I am convening everyone today because I do have something to do. Let's talk about the specific matter later!"
"Now, please follow me and go to the school grounds first."
With that said, he took the lead and took the lead.
In the yamen, all the chieftains looked at each other.
"Clan Chief Luo, what is going on? What is Master Lin going to do? Is it borrowing troops? How..."
"Yes! What do you mean, Mr. Lin? What are you doing at the school grounds?"
All the chief toasts were a little confused.
Tian Jiye was the same, his brows were furrowed, but he said: "Stop speculating, just go and take a look and you will know."
