Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Hearing the word "royal", Yun Yuanhai, who was always good-tempered, also had a flash of resentment and unwillingness on his face.

"them?"

"The Yan family wishes we would be beaten to pieces by Qin Ming!"

"It saves them the trouble of weighing all the options!"

Within the Yan Dynasty, the four pillar states and families guarded the four directions.

In charge of the central region is the royal Yan family.

Under the protection of the Four Pillars, the Yan family is like being protected by a series of natural barriers. They have a beautiful environment where they can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, and it is difficult for foreign enemies to invade.

Because of the vast territory, the Yan family's management of this dynasty was similar to the feudal system.

The region was simply divided into four huge areas in the east, south, west and north, and the four major families were responsible for management.

Relying on millions of troops, he demanded the annual tribute from the Four Pillar States.

While reaping the benefits, he could also order the four major families to use their own resources to help the Yan Dynasty expand its territory.

Just like this defensive war.

The four major families were brought together by the Yan family and gathered their forces to fight the enemy.

But the Yan family in the central part did not take any action, because the war did not spread to them anyway.

Even if one of the Four Pillars was overthrown.

The Yan family can also support a new force.

There will always be people vying to replace the Four Pillars and help the Yan family maintain their rule.

The Yan family’s own military force is only used to protect the central region and hold the other four directions hostage!

"We don't need to explain to the Yan family. They never take us seriously. At this critical moment of life and death, why are they still thinking about those bastards in the central region?"

"News has come from the front line that Qin Ming's troops are coming soon. As soon as they come, their first stop will be our Yun family!"

"Time is running out!"

Yun Yuanhai's voice echoed in everyone's ears, and only then did they finally understand how critical the situation had become.

"I agree with what Big Brother said."

The third brother, Yun Wenxun, raised his hand first.

Then came the second and third.

In the end, five people from the Yun family agreed with Yun Yuanhai's decision.

Yun Yuanhai glanced at the remaining four people who disagreed and said slowly:

"The minority obeys the majority, let's do it this way."

"I will arrange for people to contact the Daqian troops in advance. If they are willing to negotiate, we will take the lead in negotiating with them."

"I will send the news to the other three families in a while. Whatever they choose is none of the Yun family's business."

"Disband."

As they left, everyone's face was filled with anxiety.

Yun Yuanhai and Yun Wenxun looked at each other, and Yun Wenxun stayed to discuss with him the terms of exchange for peace talks with Qin Ming.

……

Two days later, the Wu family on the west coast also received the news through a secret line in the vanguard troops.

Wu Wenzhou immediately called his son to him upon receiving the news and said anxiously:

"The situation has changed. Immediately deploy all your troops to the front lines and have them defend against the invasion of troops on the coast!"

"What's wrong, father?"

Faced with everything that happened suddenly, Wu Tianxing still didn't know what was going on.

But this was the first time in all these years that he saw his father look so flustered.

"Qin Ming destroyed the vanguard troops within less than a day of contact, and the second elder of the Yun family was killed."

"What? All three hundred thousand troops were killed in battle?"

He could understand each of these words individually, but when they were put together, Wu Tianxing found it difficult to comprehend them.

"Could it be that Qin Ming is really a true immortal who has descended to the mortal world?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. The news came back from one of our men who risked their lives to break through a small group of a dozen people."

Wu Wenzhou was in a very heavy mood.

They sent out tens of thousands of people, and almost all of them were wiped out.

When they came back, there were only a dozen or so people left. Such a tragic situation was no longer a question of whether it could be accepted or not.

Wu Wenzhou, like Wu Tianxing, even began to wonder if Qin Ming was the reincarnation of a god?

"A small force of a dozen people..."

Wu Tianxing murmured to himself, his heart already in turmoil.

"Father, should we resist or negotiate?"

"But if they really have such strength, I think it's not important whether they station troops there or not."

Wu Wenzhou immediately shook his head.

"No, the purpose of stationing troops is to prevent them from advancing deeper."

"Those routes are no longer under our control. If we allow him to enter, we will lose even more land."

"If we want peace talks, we'll proceed based on their current sphere of influence."

The Wu family is different from the Yun family. There are only two or three flight routes within the country.

Qin Ming has already taken over completely, so now they have very few chips in their hands.

At most, they would give some silver and land during peace talks.

If Qin Ming and his men continued to fight and took more land, they would still have to pay back some of the land.

The Wu family suffered a great loss.

Therefore, Wu Wenzhou was prepared to guard against their sudden advance.

"Then I'll go report to the Yan family now?"

At this time, Wu Tianxing tentatively asked his father.

When making decisions, the four major families generally need to seek the advice of the royal family.

Hear what he said about the royal family.

Wu Wenzhou sneered:

"Farewell, if it weren't for the Yan family, which owns the largest number of firearms factories and has been so stingy with us, would this war have ended like this?"

As a royal family, the Yan family attaches the most importance to the development of military strength.

After firearms were introduced into the Yan Dynasty, they were the first to establish firearms factories.

But after the war actually started, they didn't provide much.

The large number of weapons and equipment produced were all equipped to the troops under his command.

The purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to prevent the rebelliousness of the four major families from growing.

If they were the first to possess more firearms than them, they could continue to maintain their rule.

The Four Pillars of the State had long held grievances against the Yan family.

However, they are not as strong as others, and the four major families are not united, so most of the joint actions need to be brokered by the Yan family.

So until now no one dares to openly rebel.

"But if we don't tell them, if they find out later, we'll be in trouble."

Wu Tianxing was a little hesitant. To be honest, after living in the Yan Dynasty system for so many years, he was still deeply afraid of the royal family.

But Wu Wenzhou, the head of the family who had been ordered around by the Yan family for many years, said coldly:

"Just kill first and ask for permission later."

"Well."

That night, the troops led by Wu Tianxing quickly rushed towards the coastline.

After the Wu family started to take action.

The Ouyang family and the Hong family also began to take action behind the scenes.

As the Four Pillars gradually developed different ideas, the entire Yan Dynasty began to become precarious.

Qin Ming only received news from the Yun family on the seventh day.

Cao Chuan used a telegraph to send the Yun family's desire for peace talks to Qin Ming.

Liu Yueli received the information through the secret guard's intelligence station at sea, and found Qin Ming to report:

"Your Majesty, the Yun family has already discussed the matter. Would you like to inform General Ye to contact them first?"

Qin Ming rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, wait until the goods I brought are finished."
