Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Elder Song nodded immediately after hearing this.

It just so happened that Hua Yunhong was about to begin his coronation ceremony. At this time, Qin Ming sent a gift, and it was such an important gift. His intention was very clear.

The steam engine was the thing that made Qin Ming rich.

After it was first made in Lingnan, they put it on the train.

And ensures fast passage to all places.

It is no exaggeration to say that the steam engine is an astonishing product anywhere in this era.

Although Qin Ming and his team have already begun to gradually advance and apply the internal combustion engine.

But it cannot be said that the steam engine was completely eliminated.

Any country now can get the technology of steam engine in its hands.

It is also possible to replicate a powerful railway transportation network like Qin Ming's.

It’s just that their construction may take a few more years.

Hua Yunhong would definitely be able to guess what he meant, and then it would be time for him to make the decision.

"That's a good idea, but Your Majesty, what if they are unwilling to accept new technology and still want to develop using the old-fashioned methods?"

"Let him decide whether he is an enemy or a friend. I have a way to deal with him."

Qin Ming spoke calmly, but his tone was full of confidence.

Hearing him say this, Elder Song nodded immediately.

Immediately arrange for someone to deliver the message to the court.

Even now, the steam engine is still a highly confidential technology in the entire court.

If you want to transmit the blueprints to the Shenmu Kingdom, you need to retrieve them from the imperial court.

A few days later, Zhong Hua Yunhong, Mu Liuming and Du Zi were discussing matters together in the imperial palace of Shenmu City.

They have spent a lot of time on Hua Yuanzheng.

Now there are rebels everywhere.

There are also some underworld people who are constantly trying to profit from the chaos.

This gave Hua Yunhong a headache.

He really wanted to quickly arrange for the soldiers to spread out and kill these people.

But apart from the forces that are constantly causing unrest in these border areas.

Another major concern of his was the Chinese expedition, which forced him to give up controlling the chaos around the border.

"Your Highness, we didn't catch up."

Mu Liuming stood in front of Hua Yunhong somewhat helplessly.

"It's okay, you've worked hard too."

As the most senior and most outstanding general in the entire dynasty.

He couldn't catch up even after going there himself, which means that there is really no one on the other side who can catch up.

Hua Yunhong didn't blame him, but he was a little confused.

"How did they escape?"

"It should be that Tongbao Pavilion is assisting us. Many of our food and fodder transportation routes have been blocked by Tongbao Pavilion."

After a pause, Mu Liuming sorted out his words and added:

"To be precise, it's not that they're blocking it, but the transportation routes for these grains and fodders, as well as the merchants who supply them, are all controlled by Tongbao Pavilion."

"Oh? Their methods have actually become this powerful."

Hua Yunhong never thought that they could extend their reach to the north.

I thought they were only in the south, and with the help of Fang Yuanjian, they were gradually encroaching on Tongbao Pavilion.

But now it seems that their hands are much bigger than they imagined.

Not only the Tongbao Pavilion in the south, but also all parts of the Tongbao Pavilion in the north have been completely devoured by them.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to do anything that would affect Mu Liuming's progress.

Upon hearing the news, Du Zi next to him suddenly became angry.

"Your Highness, we've really been too kind to these people. A few days ago, you were too busy to deal with Tongbao Pavilion. Now that you're about to ascend the throne and take charge of the country, why not take action against Tongbao Pavilion?"

Because of Sun Jinshan's incident, Du Zi no longer had any good feelings towards Tongbao Pavilion.

In addition, they continued to smear Hua Yunhong and his trusted subordinates in the newspapers.

This made all the generals in Hua Yunhong's faction hate them to the core.

Now the situation has completely turned to Hua Yunhong's side.

If you want revenge, this is the best opportunity.

But when he heard this, Hua Yunhong hesitated.

"How easy is it to completely eliminate such a behemoth?"

If it was originally a Tongbao Pavilion in a small area.

Even if the markets in those places fall into chaos, it may take months or even years to recover. In order to resolve the chaos, Hua Yunhong will grit his teeth and definitely put an end to it.

But now everything is different, their situation is much more troublesome than they imagined.

Tongbao Pavilion silently extended its hand to the entire Shenmu Kingdom.

Now their rise and fall is even linked to the economic situation of the Shenmu Kingdom.

If we try to eradicate them, all industries and sectors will suffer a huge impact.

"Chu Ying, that bastard. If I had known this earlier, I should have killed him with one blow..."

Du Zi even feels a little regretful now.

Why didn't I kill Chu Ying with one blow when I saw him?

If this clown had been dealt with earlier, things might not have been so bad.

"It's useless. The person standing behind him is Qin Ming. Even if you kill Chu Ying, Qin Ming will arrange for others to come. Maybe those people are even more ruthless than Chu Ying."

Hua Yunhong was right in saying this.

Because Qin Ming is in Daqian, there are many talents available.

The reason why only Chu Ying was arranged to come to the Shenmu Kingdom was because of this.

It was because he was in the Western Regions and Chu Ying was the only one who could be of use to him, so he only arranged Chu Ying to come here.

If it is in Daqian.

Qin Ming simply called Wan Shu, who had followed him all the way into the imperial city and had rich experience in business struggles.

Then the Shenmu Kingdom will suffer bitterly.

At this time, Mu Liuming, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"The person has already run away. There is no point in saying so much."

"Your Highness, should we fight him now or let him go?"

He finally asked the key question.

Now everything depends on Hua Yunhong's attitude.

Hua Yuanzheng had a huge impact on the entire Shenmu Kingdom.

Especially at this stage, many people already know that this guy is a traitor.

And Hua Yunhong hated him even more.

If it weren't for Hua Yuanzheng's appearance, he might have ascended the throne a month earlier when he returned with his troops.

"Let's put him in the north first. Write a letter to Qin Ming and ask him to urge Hua Yuanzheng to be more stable."

"If possible, let Qin Ming come forward to instruct Hua Yuanzheng to disband the regular troops."

"what?"

The reduction of conventional forces is a very serious matter.

The vassal kings of each region had their own personal soldiers.

Their number will be recruited according to the regulations of the court.

Basically, the number of troops under each vassal king was strictly controlled.

These troops are their lifeline, but now Hua Yunhong suddenly said that he wanted to guess their troops.

This is definitely touching the tiger's butt.
