Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Tokugawa Keiji wanted to contact Koizumi Jiro and see if there was any way to redeem Tokugawa's good deeds.

Koizumi Jiro also needed to wait for Daxia's supplies, so he agreed to talk to Tokugawa Keiji to delay the time.

Once you've replenished your own ammo, it's time to take your next step.

On the other side of the sea, in Daxia, a major event also happened, that is, Luo Chen, a veteran of the three dynasties, was killed by the order of the Emperor of Daxia in the recent period.

We have to go back in time for this matter.

Previously, because Luo Chen wanted to establish a Daxia with civilians in power, he did not want Daxia to be controlled by the military, so he had always excluded the military.

Because of his status as a veteran of three dynasties, Pan Chengzhang had to stay away even when he faced Luo Chen.

Daxia's situation of strong civil society and weak military power did not change until the rise of Lin Yi.

This naturally made Luo Chen jealous of Lin Yi.

Seeing that Lin Yi was becoming more and more powerful in Daxia and that the military was taking advantage of the situation, Luo Chen wanted to find an opportunity to defeat Lin Yi.

In fact, when a country is governed by men of letters, they use literature to control military affairs, and when they use force to govern a country, they use military force to control literature. We cannot absolutely say who is right and who is wrong.

The way in which a country is governed depends on the social environment at that time.

To give a simple example, whether it was World War I, World War II, or the Anti-Japanese War, most of them used force to control civil affairs.

The entire country, with all its human, material and financial resources, needs to serve the war, which means the military needs to occupy a dominant position.

This also includes terms such as wartime economy and wartime production.

In peacetime, the military should give way to national construction, so that the entire country's human, material, and financial resources can be tilted towards economic construction.

This is the normal economic strategy of a country. To sum it up in one sentence, the national economy is never static.

Rather, it requires those in power to constantly adjust according to the international environment at that time.

Daxia is now in the early stages of a world war. In this era of great strife, failure to advance will lead to retreat.

Countries are transforming their economies, enhancing their national strength, and increasing their military budgets.

The result of this is that the military power of this country will inevitably become stronger and stronger.

But this kind of power also needs to have limits, otherwise...

Are there still too few military governments in Africa today?

Luo Chen was worried about this, so he kept suppressing the military power. He was worried that if the military power continued to expand, it would probably backfire on Daxia.

So, can you say that Luo Chen is wrong?

Strictly speaking, without judging from Lin Yi's perspective, Luo Chen's move could indeed suppress the military and keep it under Daxia's control.

The disadvantage is that the military power develops too slowly and the combat effectiveness of the team headquarters is not strong.

But this cannot be said that Luo Chen is wrong, because his starting point is still to hope that Daxia will be strong.

But on the other hand, Luo Chen made a huge mistake by doing this and was the sinner of the entire Great Xia.

Because he also delayed the opportunity for Daxia to rise.

But this is not Luo Chen's biggest problem. If he only had this problem, Zhao Xu would at most send Luo Chen home.

His biggest problem is using Lin Yi's identity as an excuse. Fortunately, Lin Yi did not believe these rumors now.

Lin Yi's identity involves the secret between the old emperor and royal relatives like Zhao Xu, Zhao Yan, and Lin Zhi.

In order to clean up the aftermath and eliminate traces of the concubine, the old emperor dealt with a large number of people.

The purpose is to preserve the last bit of dignity for the royal family.

Whether it was the final need for a woman to protect the Daxia Palace, or the emotional entanglement between the concubine and Zhao Xu, these were all royal secrets.

The entire royal family tried their best to cover it up, but you were suddenly exposed.

Therefore, this is the biggest reason why Zhao Xu has murderous intentions towards Luo Chen.

For Zhao Xu, he can be [-]% sure that the only person who really knows the inside story is Queen Zhang Yan.

Zhao Yan and Lin Zhi were also insiders before, but they were already dead by this time.

Others, even the maids and chamberlains who were disposed of by the old emperor, including the old emperor, at most knew that Zhao Xu had a concubine.

And this concubine had a child, but she definitely didn't know that this child was Lin Yi.

Therefore, after such an investigation, the scope of suspicious people will be much reduced.

Then, with the cooperation of Zhao Xu's intelligence department and Fang Xiao, after half a year of investigation, the source of the rumor was identified. At the same time, they also saw that there seemed to be Luo Chen behind this.

Due to Luo Chen's special status and lack of real evidence, even Zhao Xu could not touch Luo Chen.

Therefore, Fang Xiao quickly led people south to Liangjiang, hoping to capture the wealthy businessman and then get some important information through his mouth.

However, when Fang Xiao arrived at the wealthy merchant's home, he found that the wealthy merchant had died two days ago.

This made Fang Xiao feel a little troubled.

That kind of thing where you clearly know who is behind it, but you have no evidence and no way to arrest the person directly.

Therefore, Fang Xiao could only continue to send people to find new clues.

Fang Xiao and others had to wait for this opportunity for several months. Until another incident came to light.

That is, a murder occurred in the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.

It turns out that even if a murder occurs in the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, Fang Xiao does not need to take care of it. After all, he is a special messenger and is only responsible for Lin Yi's rumors.

But the problem is, Fang Xiao knows that the place where the whole rumor first started is here in Liangjiang.

However, the Governor of Liangjiang, as the highest official in the Liangjiang region, did not kill this rumor at the first time, which has to make people think deeply.

At the same time, through investigation, Fang Xiao discovered that the governor of Liangjiang was actually Luo Chen's person.

Therefore, from the beginning, the Governor of Liangjiang was included in the list of key observers.

However, without evidence, Fang Xiao and the others could not directly search the house.

After all, no matter what, the governor of Liangjiang is a high-ranking official from the first rank.

But now, a murder occurred in the Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang. Fang Xiao suddenly realized that this was his opportunity, an opportunity to legitimately enter the Governor's Mansion and conduct a search.

So Fang Xiao led people to the Governor's Mansion overnight and asked to take over the murder case.

At first the local inspector responsible for the murder was unwilling to hand over the case in his hands. But when the inspector general saw the documents that Fang Xiao took out with the seal of Prince Rui, the seal of the cabinet, and the seal of the military department, the chief inspector immediately realized that the matter was beyond his understanding.

A mysterious and strange department of the Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission is responsible for an ordinary murder case. No matter how you look at it, it seems abnormal.

As a result, the inspector general changed his previous appearance and acted very cooperative.

With the support of the local inspector, Fang Xiao quickly arrived at the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion and prepared to start a search of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.

Faced with the governor of Liangjiang who wanted to search his governor's palace, he was naturally unwilling.

But who is Fang Xiao? How could he be frightened by just one or two sentences?
