Chapter 152: Ning Fengzhi's Deduction of Future Wars and the Most Expensive Secret of Douluo Continent
The day after Qian Renxue launched the assassination, inside the Qibao Glazed Sect's quiet room.
Ning Fengzhi was thinking in front of the mainland power map. The impact of the news Mu Zhe brought to her was still swirling in his mind. He had to keep himself thinking and answer these confusions one by one.
Ning Fengzhi stared at the huge map before. His eyes were sharp and deep, as if he could see the true image behind the chaos through layers of fog.
A lot has happened recently. Many big nobles and big businessmen had inexplicable accidents. Those things were even frightening, including suicide, epilepsy, and even sudden madness.
There is no connection between these incidents. Some of the victims are upstarts who have a very bad reputation, and some are old-school nobles who are praised by the nobles. If there is any connection, it is probably because they all have a biological bracelet. .
With the death of these "big men", a vacuum of power has appeared in various places. The originally stable structure has been disrupted, and the forces that were originally hidden in the shadows have leaked their minions.
Even though the situation is as broken as it is, every time you worry that something bad will happen, worse things will follow.
Just now, a loyal informant of Ning Fengzhi brought shocking news: Tiandou Imperial Palace has been sealed off, all entrances and exits are closely monitored, and some people saw the guards being mobilized.
It took Ning Fengzhi less than a snap of his fingers to come to the conclusion: Something happened to the emperor!
Emperor Xueye is the supreme ruler of the empire and the biggest variable.
His life, death and health had a vital impact on the stability and development of the empire.
If he died or became seriously ill, the succession would become a huge dispute.
Each force will stage farce for their own benefit to interfere with the crown prince's succession to the throne.
This will be a bloody power struggle, and Ning Fengzhi has already put his chips on the gambling table.
Ning Fengzhi silently deduced in his mind that the change in the throne would be the trigger for changes in the continent's structure. Now he should first consider the reactions that will occur between the various forces.
"Those greedy 'wild dogs' will definitely take advantage of the chaos to embezzle the property of those nobles who have suffered divine punishment. This is a point that needs to be considered."
Ning Fengzhi said to himself, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly, revealing his disgust and contempt for those nobles.
He took a sip of tea to suppress the emotions growing in his heart. He didn't want these likes and dislikes to affect his subsequent deduction and analysis.
"Appropriation requires strength. Now the most useful and quickest way to expand strength is to recruit mercenaries. Soul masters will become very popular recently, but expanding armed forces requires identity and title. This is determined before the situation becomes unstable, Duke Although these great nobles can grant some knighthoods, they are limited after all. However, there is one thing that can break through this limit, and that is the royal recruitment order! "
Ning Fengzhi picked up a small blue flag to represent Qian Renxue, and picked up a tower-shaped chess piece to represent herself, placing them on the huge map in front of her. He pointed at Tiandou City on the map and muttered to himself.
"This is the location of Qian Renxue and the destination I want to go to. I will express the attitude of our Qibao Glazed Sect to the new emperor. Once the Qibao Glazed Sect expresses its stance as one of the mainland's forces, it will give Qian Renxue's influence Adding huge help, this will be a timely help to Qian Renxue, and we will repay the Qibao Glazed Sect in the future, whether it is strengthening allies or showing our attitude towards those who have taken refuge. "
As he spoke, he placed the red chess piece next to the blue flag to express his relationship with Qian Renxue.
"But that's not enough," he continued.
"I also request a recruitment order. The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect needs to expand its military force. Whether it is for self-protection in the subsequent chaos or to expand its influence, the sect needs this key thing."
The conscription order is a wartime mobilization measure. The holder can recruit qualified people to join his army during wartime, without being restricted by status or title.
"In this way, the Qibao Glazed Sect can recruit more mercenaries and soul masters to enhance our strength."
As he spoke, he moved more red chess pieces to other places on the map to indicate the range he wanted to recruit.
"Of course, Qian Renxue will not easily agree to my request. He will consider the reactions of other forces."
He said, picking up a few green chess pieces, representing other neutral and waiting forces.
"These forces are waiting for the opportunity. Once they know the actions of the Qibao Glazed Sect, they will definitely react. When the Qibao Glazed Sect recruits soul masters and mercenaries, they also want to expand their power by being loyal to the new emperor. No matter what Whether they are truly loyal to the royal family or not, they will all gather around Qian Renxue to compete for his trust and rewards. "
As he spoke, he placed the green chess pieces next to the blue flag, forming a dense formation.
More and more green chess pieces are gathering around the blue chess pieces, which means that more and more neutral forces are swearing allegiance to Qian Renxue.
Ning Fengzhi's deduction reached this point, and he knew that he had to consider the reactions of other forces. The allegiance of these neutral forces is not reliable. They are just for self-protection or profit, but these arrogance will not affect the overall situation he has laid out.
These forces will swear allegiance to the new emperor in this wave. In this way, Qian Renxue will gain the reputation of righteousness. An emperor with many lords loyal to him can legitimately inherit the military and political legacy left by Emperor Xue Ye. This is an excellent opportunity for Ning Fengzhi.
He has received a call from the new emperor to expand his power. He does not need to worry about opposition or interference from other neutral forces, because they have all expressed their support for Qian Renxue and are part of the same force. Even if there is friction and dissatisfaction, it will be limited to a low-intensity situation.
He does not need to worry about Qian Renxue's suspicion or suppression, because Qibao Liuli's help and subsequent expansion of power will become an important cornerstone for maintaining the stability of the empire, and become a key force that Qian Renxue has to rely on. He only needs to follow his own pace, slowly devour the resources and talents of other forces through the large amount of cash accumulated through the bracelet, strengthen his own strength, and wait for the opportunity.
"So, I have to make some concessions in exchange for Qian Renxue's consent. I will promise Qian Renxue that I will only recruit those free personnel who have not joined other forces, and I will include them in my troop registration Create a register and hand it over to the new king to ensure transparency of mutual power and political mutual trust.”
Moreover, in order for the new king to consolidate his power and integrate the army, Qian Renxue will definitely launch a war against the Star Luo Empire regardless of whether it is for Wuhun Palace's plan or not. Now only the throne decorated with iron and blood is the most stable.
"So I will also express to Qian Renxue that I am willing to work for him and open up situations for him on the battlefield." He said, moving the red chess pieces to some important strategic positions on the map.
Moreover, the Qibao Glazed Sect's business network within the Star Luo Empire will be the best support for war intelligence.
But at this time, the deduction was stuck, because Ning Fengzhi knew that he had missed the key point of mainland power, the Small Reincarnation Academy.
According to Mu Zhe, he will unify the continent within the next two months, and the previous conversation mentioned Wuhun Palace, and Qian Renxue’s roots are obviously from Wuhun Palace, so
The final situation is expected to turn into Emperor Tiandou launching a war against the Star Luo Empire, and Wuhun Palace may form an alliance with the Tiandou Empire, and may secretly help, but in the end, when the war is about to come to an end, the secretly dormant Wuhundian will defeat all the field armies of the two empires in one fell swoop and establish the absolute power of the mainland.
This is the script Ning Fengzhi planned for Mu Zhe, but there is a fatal problem with this script, time.
Whether it is mobilizing the army to attack or advancing the front, even if the Tiandou Empire has a large number of soldiers and powerful cavalry, they are good at surprise attacks.
Considering that even if these elite squads join the top forces in Wuhun Temple, they attack key logistics nodes to break up the war. In addition, the Tiandou Empire's famous cavalry regiment implements radical assault attacks, using the speed and breakthrough power of the cavalry to attack the enemy's defense line. Create a gap and quickly expand your advantage.
It would take at least six months to defeat the Star Luo Empire.
Because the Star Luo Empire has solid heavy armored infantry and powerful sect soul masters, as well as royal soul masters and three of the lower four sects as support. And they are good at layer-by-layer defense with strategic depth.
Use the defensive power of heavy armored infantry and sect soul masters to persevere under the enemy's offensive and launch counterattacks. The Zhu family is responsible for the logistics of the Star Luo Empire and has rich experience and resources. So what exactly is Mu Zhe's back-up plan?
At this time, a key flashed in Ning Fengzhi's mind, a biological bracelet! With the sale of biological bracelets and the collection and flow of large amounts of physical gold coins out of the Star Luo Empire, why did Mu Zhe choose the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect as a partner? It’s all connected, everything is connected!
Ning Fengzhi kept pacing in the room, with various thoughts surging in his heart.
This is about the secret of soul coins,
This is the most expensive secret on this continent. This secret is related to the life savings of thousands of soul masters.
Soul coins are the common currency used by soul masters for transactions, and they come in two forms.
Physical currency and point currency in the Gold Soul Coin stored value card. Physical currency is a coin made of a rare metal, each with a fixed value and weight. Point currency is a completely credit-based digital currency that can be traded and transferred through the medium of the Golden Soul Coin stored-value card, and each point is anchored to a physical currency.
However, this seemingly fair exchange system hides a surprising secret.
The purchasing power of point currency is actually lower than that of physical currency. This is why auction houses and other places frequently see huge transactions of tens of millions of gold soul coins. If the currency of these transactions is converted into physical currency, the purchasing power of these currencies is enough to feed the population of an empire for several months!
Perhaps when this stored-value card transaction method was first invented, the actual ratio of gold soul coins and stored-value points was indeed 1:1.
However, after a long period of one hundred years has passed, new soul masters continue to enter the world of soul masters through physical currency exchange points for transactions, but it seems that few people can use physical currency to recruit high-level soul masters or use physical currency to purchase expensive equipment. Soul master items.
The capital pool of this soul master market is constantly expanding, and the money supply in the physical currency market is indeed much lower than the soul master market that facilitates trade. Then there is only one result. In terms of the actual exchange rate, the number of gold soul coin points in the soul master market Actual purchasing power is much lower than physical currency.
It's just that this long-term deliberate currency exchange ratio has created an illusion that the gold soul coin storage card really stores one golden soul coin after another instead of nothing points
The major business houses use physical currency to purchase the raw materials collected by low-level soul masters and trade the raw materials through bulk trade and gold soul coin points, which completes the import arbitrage.
Moreover, there are nobles who constantly participate in the transaction and rely on banks to exchange points back to physical currency. This gold soul coin storage card can be said to be a shackle on the soul master's head. Even if it is as expensive as a titled Douluo, it is still manipulated and exploited by this small card.
And those forces that control the right to issue point currency will reap the benefits, including but not limited to the major sects and the two empires, and it is difficult to say that the Wuhun Hall, which issues its own currency, does not know these things.
Now with the sale of biological bracelets, physical currency has begun to flow out of the soul master market in large quantities, and the direction of these currencies is the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect! . This means that in the Xingluo Empire, physical currency is becoming more and more scarce and precious, while point currency is becoming more and more abundant and cheap.
If this trend continues, sooner or later, the point currency will completely collapse and lose any value. By then, the soul master trading system built on this market will also collapse, and countless soul masters will fall into difficulties and chaos.
As a country that mainly collects war resources with currency and orders, the Xingluo Empire will also face difficulties in war preparation due to the shortage of physical currency and the collapse of point currency. The original materials will skyrocket in price due to the shortage of physical currency, and it will become impossible to use the gold soul coin stored value card for convenient transactions.
The most terrifying thing is what will those high-level soul masters who have lost all their property due to the collapse of stored value card points do? Those strong men are not weak and powerless capsule insects like speculators. They will use their own strength to take back their property.
Will they attack the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect? No, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will cooperate with banking institutions within the Tiandou Empire to allow customers who have a good relationship with the Tiandou Empire to exchange physical currency one-to-one. This will not only stabilize the value of point currency within the Tiandou Empire market, but also attract a large number of soul masters to come here.
The remaining soul masters who have no way out will point their spearheads at the banks of the Xingluo Empire, which will greatly weaken the strength of the Xingluo Empire. Is this your plan? Muzhe!
Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he had thought of a perfect plan. He knew that the news from the palace would not spread, because those dignitaries were watching in secret, waiting for the best time for the war.
From the previous contact, the Zhu family, as an important force in the Xingluo Empire, had a lot of ambitions and wanted to expand its power with the craze of biological bracelets. He decided to use this to let the Zhu family make wedding clothes for him.
Ning Fengzhi will propose a cooperation plan to the Zhu family in the name of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is willing to entrust the Zhu family to issue a special bond called a biological bracelet bond.
The characteristic of this bond is that each bond comes with a biological bracelet, and the bond holder can exchange the bracelet or sell the bond at any time. The interest rate of the bond is based on the market price of the biological bracelet. If the price of the bracelet rises, the interest rate will also rise, and vice versa. The term of the bond is one year, and you can choose to renew or redeem the principal after expiration.
In Ning Fengzhi's words, this kind of bond can not only meet the market demand for biological bracelets, but also attract a large amount of funds to enter the control of the Zhu family.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect only needs to provide a part of the biological bracelets as collateral, and the rest will be managed by the Zhu family themselves. Ning Fengzhi will give the Zhu family a certain commission and share as a reward for cooperation.
According to the analysis of the Zhu family's intelligence, the Zhu family will most likely feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They can not only collect a large amount of currency, but also use these chips to gain more rights in the Xingluo Empire, and may even give the Dai family a little shock.
But all this will be a trap. Ning Fengzhi plans to suddenly announce that the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will no longer support biological bracelet bonds a week before the outbreak of the war.
At that time, due to the credit issues of the bonds and the large amount of physical currency withdrawn, the monetary system of the Xingluo Empire will enter an unprecedented state of tension.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect can easily transfer the currency in its hands, and what will be left to the Xingluo Empire at that time will be skyrocketing prices, hard-to-find currency, logistics that cannot complete strategic reserves, and the army waiting for pay to be eagerly waiting.
