my unparalleled way

Chapter 795
"Yes……"

Lin Si frowned and tried to think back, and finally nodded.

Fuyao's words were a bit exaggerated. In fact, when the army entered the city, nearly a thousand people in the city still appeared on both sides of the street.

But compared with Gancheng Jiacheng, Micheng and Mingcheng, which were defeated by him, there is naturally a world of difference.

In those cities, Lin Si's army received an extremely warm welcome, and almost hundreds of thousands of people from the Moon Kingdom in the entire city came out.

With tears in their eyes, the people greeted the army who came to rescue them hoarsely. Flowers, fireworks and applause rendered the whole city glorious.

In contrast, Cangcheng's welcome lineup is indeed very different.

Even the nearly thousand people just watched the army entering the city silently, no one rushed forward to chat and hug the soldiers, let alone cheered and shed tears.

If it wasn't for Fuyao's reminder, Lin Siben thought it was not surprising.

I can't ask for a grand welcoming ceremony every time I win a battle, can I?That would be too badass.

And Cangcheng, as the northernmost city of the Yue Kingdom, and the first place that was occupied and enslaved by the Southern Qi, it's not surprising that there are some differences, isn't it?
It wasn't until Fuyao's words now that he felt that something was really wrong.

If you really want to describe it, the faces of nearly a thousand people who appeared on the street at that time were only numb and indifferent.

For the Yue Kingdom army who came to rescue them, they neither showed much welcome nor any hatred, as if it had nothing to do with them.

And Lin Si still remembers that at that time, he once felt some sights behind the windows and door cracks of some houses on the street. Those sights were vigilant and scrutinized...

This city is indeed very different.

Fuyao said slowly: "This city is not easy to manage. If you want to use this place as your base camp, it may be very difficult."

Lin Si raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"Because this is Cangcheng, you should know what kind of city Cangcheng used to be. There are many gang forces here."

"As far as I know, there seem to be many gangs in Academy City. You, the son of the city lord of Academy City, are you afraid of any gangs?" Lin Si frowned.

"No, Academy City is a peaceful place after all. Although the gangs there are not weak, they are much more disciplined. This can only be seen from the titles of the two parties..."

"What name?"

"The gangs in Academy City are generally called underground gangs and underground forces. They themselves have acquiesced to this fact, and they generally will not touch the bottom line acceptable to the authorities. But here is different, this The city is actually managed by the various gangs, they are not some underground organization, they are the rulers on the surface."

"So, what do these people do for a living?"

"In addition to opening casinos, brothels and restaurants, collecting protection fees in the city, and collecting tolls for caravans, it's just doing business."

"Business?" Lin Si was astonished.

"Any business, including slaves, armor weapons, magic cores, salt and iron, information, and all other things that are not officially allowed to be traded. Of course, there are some legal transactions..."

"Slaves? There are still slaves in Yueguo?" Lin Si asked in disbelief.

"There are always families who are down and down, there are always poor people who can't live on, and there are always some prisoners of war..."

"Where are you going to sell it?"

"Selling from other places to the Moon Country, or from the Moon Country to the Southern Qi Qianlanzixinglan Country... In short, if someone sells it, someone will buy it."

"What about the information?"

"All kinds of information, between practitioners, between the armies of the two countries, in the local officialdom, between families..."

"The Northern Army doesn't care about this kind of thing?"

"It can't be controlled, the gang is not only practitioners, but also a large number of ordinary people."

Huh, Lin Sichang let out a long breath, as if he got to know this city belonging to Yue Kingdom again.

"What about ordinary people here? Are they letting this situation go?"

"How can there be any ordinary people here? Although the vast majority of people are not practitioners, most of them are unable to get along with the rest of the Moon Kingdom. They may be oppressed by the gang here, but the gang has given them protection in disguise.

The reason why this city is so big is because many people from other parts of the Moon Kingdom flocked over.In addition, it is very close to Nanqi, and there are quite a few people from Nanqi in the city. "

Lin Si narrowed his eyes: "So what? The people here have been assimilated by the people of Southern Qi?"

"No, I can't confirm this point. But one thing, do you think these people want Yue Kingdom officials to completely control this place? Manage this place like other cities?"

Lin Si was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head slowly.

Fuyao was right, most of the Yue people who came here had committed crimes in other places of Yue, or had grudges with others.Besides that, there is also a group of practitioners who are disobedient and want to do something.

Whether they came here on their own initiative, or were driven here passively and exiled here, the reason for choosing Cangcheng is simple-it is free and safe.

As for the Nanqi people who live here, it should be the same reason, right?
No wonder those people showed such an indifferent attitude towards the army entering the city.I'm afraid whether it's the people of Nanqi or the people of Yue who rule here, it's the same for them, right?
As long as they don't interfere with Cangcheng's affairs, they don't care at all which country the city belongs to.

Although he understands this, it does not mean that Lin Si will support them.

"I need a stable rear that won't hinder my army." He said lightly.

Although his voice was calm, there was a strong determination in his words.

Fuyao sighed: "So it's hard..."

Tang Xiaozhi suddenly asked: "How did the Northern Army manage this city before? They couldn't possibly let it go."

Both Lin Si and Fuyao understood what she meant, the Northern Army took care of it before, but now it can be done as usual.This will not only stabilize the situation here the fastest, but also make it easier for the people here to accept them.

"Half cooperation, half laissez-faire..."

When Fuyao said this, he was looking at Lin Si.Whether to continue the old path of the Northern Army depends on Lin Si's attitude.

"Specifically?" Lin Si asked noncommittally.

"In the past, the Northern Army had garrisons in this city, but they were only in charge of city defense. As for the internal affairs, they relied on the local gangs to operate independently.

The military will charge gangs some luxuries similar to protection fees, and even cooperate with them to do some things.The gang will give face to the military and recognize their official status. At the same time, the military will not interfere in the internal affairs of the city.

To put it bluntly, it is the separation of the military and the government, each doing its own thing. "

Lin Si took a deep breath: "How strong are these gangs?"

"Originally there was a large-scale gang, the "Changing Moon Society". At its peak, the number of monks was no less than [-], and in the extreme state, there were two hundred. Two medium-sized gangs, the "War Tiger Gang" and the "Heavenly Killing Society", both had one or two monks. Thousands, each of the extreme realms has twenty or thirty.

As for the rest of the small gangs, there are as many as an ox hair, but the number is less than a dozen people, and there are nearly a hundred people at most. It is good to have a Yuanjing, but it cannot be successful. "

"These gang names are very imposing." Lin Si twitched his lips.

Indeed, with such strength, it is very difficult for the military to really destroy them.

The biggest difference between practitioners and ordinary troops is that they are very flexible.Putting on a counter attack, maybe the [-] gang practitioners in Cangcheng can't fight against the [-] ordinary army.

But they will not be so stupid to force the army head-on, they can harass and assassinate, so that they will have the strength to fight even if they face a hundred thousand troops.

And they can escape to Southern Qi when the situation is not good, and come back when the situation is stable.

These people are like a persistent disease that grew up in Yue Guo, and it is very difficult to eradicate it.

And the military might also want to use their strength to resist the Southern Qi people.After all, the people in Cangcheng neither want to be controlled by the Yue Kingdom, nor do they want to be meddled by the people of Nanqi.

"It's very imposing..." Fuyao smiled wryly, as if he was used to Lin Si's unconstrained style.

"What is the origin of Wanyuehui? Why is it so strong?"
