C1042 The Third Prince's Actions
The princes in the city didn't show any signs of weakening in the fight for the crown prince position, but the flames of war didn't spread to Lee Zongjiu's body.
Therefore, Bailu Residence had been very quiet recently. They didn't care about the conflicts in the city or participate in it.
However, the news about the Eagle Warship had gradually spread. The main reason was that the first generation of machine production had officially started. The factory was located at the back of the mountain of Bailu Residence.
A production workshop had been established.
Many large financial groups had built a factory. When people from the Merchant Union heard about this matter, they immediately brought large amounts of money with them and said that they wanted to invest in the production of the eagle warship in Bailu Residence.
However, the Bailu Residence rejected these wealthy financial groups. Instead, they announced that they would cooperate with Soong Jieyu, Qi family, and Qi family. As for the Zheng family, they also kept a name for them. After all, the Zheng family was weak. If it wasn't for Lee Zongjiu's conscience, he would have annexed the Zheng family a long time ago.
Lee Zongjiu didn't need to do this. If he was so short-sighted, he wouldn't be able to achieve great things in the future.
The appearance of the Eagle Warship had even alarmed the Royal Heavenly Workshop.
The Heavenly Workshop was a weapon research institute of the dynasty. Some new heavy weapons were also spread from the Heavenly Workshop and were far ahead of the others. However, the weapons that were announced were only those that had been eliminated.
The real top weapons had always been hidden in the depths. Only at the most critical moment, at the last moment, would they be taken out.
The Heavenly Workshop specially filmed a master and went to Bailu Residence for advice and research.
Lee Zongjiu also named the newly established workshop Hundred Ghost Workshop.
The meaning was that it was a Hundred Ghost Craftsman.
This Hundred Ghost Craftsman was also a very powerful figure in the legends. It was said that when he forged weapons, he was like the help of thousands of ghosts, and could unleash an astonishing power.
When Lee Zongjiu's Hundred Ghost Market was able to forge such a powerful weapon, it would naturally become famous in the world. At that time, the best weapons would also be forged from Lee Zongjiu's Hundred Ghost Market.
Currently, there were several organizations in the Bailu Residence. Firstly, it was the Household. Zhao had recruited the Household independently, mainly some accountants. In addition, there were also some risk calculations and cost control. Simply put, it was a place to help the Bailu Residence earn money and spend money.
Secondly, it was to recruit some Alien Ministers, aides, and experts from the pugilistic world as aides. Currently, Zhao was also managing it.
The third was to protect the family. The guards of the family were all handed over to the family. The person in charge was Liu Pei. The soldiers who retired from the Fang Battalion were all training here to protect the safety of Bailu Residence.
Initially, they thought that they would lose the opportunity to become an official soldier if they left the Fang Battalion. However, who would have thought that Lee Zongjiu would suddenly become the Imperial Advisor?
The Imperial Advisor was conferred the title of Imperial Advisor, and his subordinates also had the right to train five thousand private soldiers. Therefore, these guards became official soldiers again, and they had a new military rank.
Even ordinary armies did not have any binding power over them. They were not only a private army, but also people under the Imperial Advisor.
As for the Imperial Advisor, only Holy Flame Emperor or a hundred officials could punish him.
Therefore, even if the city guards or other armies wanted to charge into Bailu Residence, they still had enough status to keep you out of the way, unless you have an imperial decree in your hands.
Lee Zongjiu was currently in the limelight. As long as he didn't commit any treason, there wouldn't be any problems.
There was also the transfer of people from the Qingyuan Villa, the Qian Ji Workshop, the Primary Beast Workshop, and the Ghost Medical Workshop.
The Qian Ji Workshop had always been helping the Bailu Residence collect information. In addition, the Primary Beast Workshop had also helped Lee Zongjiu raise the Primary Beasts on the back mountain. They had also recruited some disciples and taught them the Beast Taming Technique.
Recently, they had also been nurturing a group of valiant and ferocious wild wolves.
There was hope that they would be assigned to the guards of the Hua Protector. In this way, they would definitely be able to create an army that would cause Wenfeng to lose his life.
Third Prince had attacked Lee Zongjiu many times. Furthermore, he had recently announced the position of Crown Prince. It was about time to calculate the number of soldiers from all sides.
Third Prince's overall strength was currently in the lead.
However, he wanted to become the Crown Prince.2
It had to be in the position of the City Guard, to push up its own men, and the City Guard had to be in control.
Because the previous adjustment of the Azure Dragon Army had caught Third Prince by surprise. They had already talked about the same thing as the Huo family. However, who would have thought that the Huo family would be deployed?
This made Third Prince want to cry but no tears came out.
Naturally, he didn't have the time to deal with the Vermillion Bird Army here, so he could only focus his attention on the city guards.
One of the city guards, Deputy Regimental Commander and Third Prince, were discussing the matter.
This Deputy Regimental Commander was called Yuen Mashan.
In the city guards, he was definitely an old general. His achievements and achievements were all very well done, but his strength gradually faded.
Therefore, Yuen Mashan had a feeling that the sun had set. Seeing everything that belonged to him suddenly being snatched away by Wang Ding who had just rushed forward made him feel both grief and regret in his heart.
However, this was a cruel world. If you can't do it, I will. Even if you can do it, I can do it better than you.
Then I'll do it first.
This was what Yuen Mashan was facing now.
At this moment, Third Prince found him.
Third Prince had come into contact with him before, but when Yuen Mashan saw that the current situation was still unclear, he decided to stabilize the situation first. He was not in such a hurry, so he agreed.
At this moment, before Third Prince's conditions tempted him, Yuen Mashan finally nodded his head.
"If I can become the commander of the City Protection Legion, I am willing to work for Third Prince!"
Yuen Mashan said respectfully and sincerely.
Third Prince nodded.
Before he saw any benefits, he did not let go. After all, this was a matter of life and death. Moreover, it was uncertain whether he could do it well or not. With Third Prince's current strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to trip Lee Zongjiu.
So, in short, you should show me your strength first. After I become the regiment commander, I can do whatever I want.
"Alright, it's just a Wang Ding. There's no need to worry about getting rid of him."
Third Prince smiled.
In order to make Yuen Mashan the next commander, he did not need to touch Lee Zongjiu. He only needed to kill Wang Ding.
Even if Lee Zongjiu wanted to support another person in a short period of time, it would still be impossible.
After the two clinked glasses, Yuen Mashan bid them farewell.
