The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Indian Defense Minister Ajah Khan is a hawkish military leader.

Although he had previously taken a hard line against China, he wasn't stupid.

How many politicians at his level are truly foolish?

He stared blankly as his former boss feigned illness and left.

He only came to his senses amidst the congratulations from a bunch of idiots.

Damn it, I've been tricked.

He would definitely be happy if he could go on stage smoothly.

What can I do if I go on stage at this point? I'll just have to take the blame.

He knew the real situation in the military all too well.

Putting aside the results of the war in China, the situation within the domestic army is such that soldiers in various military regions are becoming somewhat disloyal.

Because we belong to different religious sects and have different beliefs, I can temporarily submit to you when the value of paper money is stable.

We could form a federation together.

You can follow orders in the military.

But now the value of paper money has vanished, the people are in chaos, one sect is robbing another, and another sect is leading its followers to rob the followers of yet another sect.

In particular, the Indian religious sect, relying on its large numbers, usually bullies everyone. This time, everyone should unite to fight against the Indian religious sect.

There have been many incidents in the military where different religious sects have turned on each other with guns.

The military is already quite unstable.

Ajar Khan was already having a headache over military affairs when he was suddenly appointed as his successor and temporary leader, a position he didn't want to take.

The boss was definitely faking it just now.

He knew his boss's physique; after drinking the sacred water from the divine ox all night, he could easily handle both female secretaries.

How could I suddenly faint?

He wanted to rush out and pull the boss back.

But he couldn't get out.

He was firmly blocked by others who congratulated him on his rise to power.

He was on the verge of tears.

Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to ask everyone to be quiet and think of a solution.

How can we stabilize the situation first?

Ajar Khan's good friend, the head of the intelligence department, made a suggestion.

After a country experiences internal turmoil, it typically tries to shift its focus away from internal conflicts.

Shift internal conflicts to external conflicts.

We are still at war with the Dragon Kingdom.

We can promote this campaign vigorously, unite against external forces, and get everyone to work together to fight against the Dragon Kingdom first.

Let's shift everyone's attention to the Dragon Kingdom.

As long as we publicize a few major victories.

We've initially stabilized the situation.

Then they confiscated gold from the homes of ordinary residents to deplete the national treasury's gold reserves.

Then the paper currency can gradually stabilize.

That's how we got through the crisis.

The intelligence chief's idea is good.

In any case, major cities are currently conducting a manhunt for the attackers.

When the police search the house, if they find some gold, that should be collected and sent to the capital.

Then the military can gradually stabilize.

Even if we lose a battle, we can still announce to the outside world that we have won.

This method is feasible.

Ajar Khan was delighted and asked, "Does anyone have any other opinions?"

"No, I support the leader's decision."

"Okay, then let's do it immediately."

Ajar Khan had no idea why everyone was so supportive; it was because everyone could make a fortune from it.

Who told my family to suffer such heavy losses?

Seize some of the gold from ordinary people, let everyone pocket a little, and send the remaining three-tenths to the gold reserve center.

But things weren't as simple as they thought.

……

……

Yang Dalin continued south along the western coastline of India.

He felt that the journey was too slow and that there were more and more checkpoints.

Today we directly acquired a military patrol boat and sped along the coastline for a day.

We went ashore again that night and walked along the road.

Yang Dalin walked like this for almost a week.

I finally found the Sripadmanabaswami Temple. The name is too long, so I'll just call it the Swami Temple.

It is said that the treasury of this temple was donated by various royal families, royalty, merchants, believers, and others over the past five thousand years.

Many small temples in the surrounding area also transferred a lot of their treasures here for safekeeping in order to escape the war.

Just think about how many treasures have been hidden here over thousands of years.

It is said that only five treasure vault doors were opened afterward, and the largest, sixth one, was not opened.

Then there's a legend that when the sixth treasure vault opens, some kind of snake demon will appear.

Yang Dalin didn't believe it at all; he guessed it was just a rumor deliberately spread by the Indians.

They released the information to prevent more thieves from stealing the treasure.

This temple has many clergy and numerous protectors.

Yang Dalin finally managed to win over the outsiders.

Then he used the space to completely loot all the treasure vaults.

They didn't encounter any monsters like giant snakes.

I encountered quite a few small snakes, though.

Before leaving, Yang Dalin remembered that there was a lot of gold hidden inside the archway at the top of the temple's main hall.

Since we've come all this way, there's no reason for us to leave empty-handed.

Yang Dalin placed explosives all over the archway.

Then Yang Dalin ran away.

After the explosives were detonated, the arches collapsed.

Yang Dalin didn't care how many clergy members he could kill.

Anyway, these gods have no control over Yang Dalin.

After the dust settled, Yang Dalin discovered that there was indeed a considerable amount of gold.

Yang Dalin pretended to be a believer who was saving people.

Collect all the visible gold into the space.

Then they just ran away.

Yang Dalin did not return the way he came, but went east for a while and continued his attack northward along the east coastline.

Seeing that some places were in serious internal strife, Yang Dalin left a large number of weapons and ammunition for the weaker forces.

Whenever Yang Dalin came across a large-scale feudal building, he would always go inside and take a look.

Of course, he never came back empty-handed.

Therefore, the roads Yang Dalin traveled were either filled with bloodshed or severely damaged.

The newly appointed interim leader of India, Ajakhan, is now considering resigning.

Damn it, I actually believed what that intelligence chief said.

They declared the Dragon Kingdom to be their greatest enemy and launched three more attacks, only to be utterly defeated each time.

Moreover, more and more people were being captured.

The Dragon Kingdom even shared its victory on the international stage.

That's incredibly embarrassing.

Moreover, more and more people within the country are participating in the resistance.

Instead of uniting against external forces.

Because this country has many religious sects, people don't care about the Dragon Kingdom, which is an external enemy.

I can't even afford to eat, how can I care about anything else?

Rural people are alright as long as they have enough food to eat.

City dwellers can't afford to buy food if they don't have money.

How can things not get chaotic?

I'm starving to death, why should I worry about foreign invasion?

Even if they invade, as long as they send me food, I can still surrender.

Moreover, in the disputed area with Baba Sheep, they were also badly beaten.

The main problem is the chaos within the country, which makes the military's combat effectiveness extremely unstable.

They were still resisting the enemy, and they couldn't even get enough to eat. How could they possibly win any battles?

Preventing them from reaching the capital was already a significant effort.

The pressure on the military is already immense. Many generals have said that if salaries and rations are not paid soon, the army may lead the way in internal strife.

And they don't want paper money.

As long as there is grain on hand.

Ajar Khan then asked them, "Weren't you sent to collect gold from the people?"
