olitical and military power. Due to the lack of systematic planning and knowledge, it was impossible for them to establish a fully centralized economic system during feudal times.But this central bank...Chapter 311: Will Not Lose

From Li Chen's words, Su Jinpa saw some of Li Chen's layouts and schemes.

She nodded. "For now, this does seem like the best option...but, what if we lose"

Li Chen said confidently: “I won’t lose!”

......

Over the next two days, the situation in the capital gradually calmed down.

It seems that all parties have ceased their actions.

Whether it was the cabinet, the East Palace, or even the hands and informants of vassal kings from outside the capital and various factions like the White Lotus Sect, all fell silent in the city.

All eyes were on the imminent oath-taking ceremony.

This time, it was the first time in many years that the imperial court had taken the initiative to wage war against another country.

Leading the charge was Su Pingbei, a young and inexperienced military god descendant of the third generation.

The Donggong's forceful military campaign this time will directly determine the morale and status of the court. It will also decide whether those ambitious individuals can see through the weakness of the court and pounce on it, pushing this dynasty, which has stood for over three hundred years, into the abyss.

Regardless of people's moods, time still moves forward at a steady pace.

This day, the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Yulin Guard Training Ground.

All eyes from around the world are on this place.

On the vast playground, three thousand people were arrayed in a huge square formation.

Every soldier's distance front, back, left, and right, as well as their individual height and build, were calculated and arranged with strict precision.

From any angle you look at it, this massive formation, with its crisscrossing lines, every diagonal and vertical line is perfectly straight.

The entire playground was abuzz with flags waving in the breeze and a cacophony of voices.

At the very top of the playground is a platform for spectators.

In the center of the stage stood the Crown Prince, Regent of the current dynasty. To his left and right were high-ranking officials such as those from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of War, the General Directorate of Five Armies, and other important ministerial posts.

"Today the weather is pleasantly sunny. The snow that fell for most of the past month has finally stopped, it's a good omen."

A high official from the Five Armies General's Mansion flattered Li Chen, saying: "This must surely foretell that our Great Qin Celestial Army will be victorious in any battle."

Li Chen smiled.

He was indifferent to these omens, or lack thereof.

However, people in feudal times blindly believed this.

Moreover, the weather cleared up, which was definitely more comfortable than having heavy snow falling.

Facing the slightly chilly wind, Li Chen felt a surge of happiness as the long-awaited sun shone upon him.

Standing up and walking to the railing, Li Chen looked down at the densely packed three thousand soldiers below. A surge of boldness filled his chest.

At this moment, Su Zhendong walked to Li Chen's side.

"My lord, these three thousand soldiers were carefully selected from the various military camps and garrisons. They are all seasoned veterans who can fight ten men with ease on the battlefield. Most importantly, they are loyal to you without any doubts."

At this point, Su Zhen's gaze lingered meaningfully on Zhao Xuanji beside him, whose expression remained calm and unruffled. He smiled and said: "As long as Your Highness gives the order, no matter what demons or villains there are, these young men will crush them all."

Zhao Xuanji raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Zhen'ting, faintly saying: "The young man is a good son, it's just a pity that they still recognize the military orders of the Five Armies Dudu Mansion."

These words pierced my heart.

But if this were to happen to someone with a slightly smaller temperament, they would start suspecting Su Zhen Ting.

After all, the Su family holds immense prestige within the military.

Su Zhen Ting frowned, a spark of anger ignited in his heart.

Just as he was about to look at Li Chen, he heard Li Chen let out a hearty laugh and say, "Don't the military orders from the Five Armies Inspectorate not come from the imperial court"s head blankly. He wanted to steal one last glance at Su Jinping, even just a fleeting look, as a farewell to this unrequited love that had never truly begun.But through the carriage curtains, he saw...
