Iron Dynasty

PS: There are two more chapters

What the mother-in-law taught is.

Xiao Ming showed a smile and was surrounded by Xiao Wenxuan. Concubine Zhen knew the court better than him. Just as Concubine Zhen said, there are contradictions between officials of any dynasty.

This problem is also inevitable for him, and how to use this contradiction to make the government more peaceful is what he should do.

It is for this reason that he has never let up on the issue of Jiufu in the cabinet, in order to allow the two groups of officials to turn the contradiction into the driving force for handling government affairs and make the internal affairs run more smoothly.

At the same time, officials who do not like each other can also play the role of mutual supervision. This is like the ruling party and the opposition party, in the quarrel, the corrupt officials in the other camp are picked out.

Okay, think about this for yourself. Yue'er and I went out to watch a play. It is said that there is a new play coming out of this theater. Concubine Zhen just passed by the main hall and came in to see it.

Xiao Ming nodded and said to Qian Dafu who was following behind Concubine Zhen, Steward Qian, pay attention to the safety of Concubine Mother.

His Royal Highness, there will be no problem with the old slave. Qian Dafu said with a smile.

With the help of Liuli, the three slowly walked out of the main hall, and Xiao Ming stretched his waist and walked outside.

In the past five months, he has not had a day of leisure, teaching grassroots generals, supervising the production of various industries, writing books, and training new recruits.

And Yue Yun returned from the Three Mountains Kingdom with 800,000 stone of food, which made Xiao Ming more confident.

Everything was gradually completed in his efforts. Xiao Ming turned his eyes to Jinling City again. Now it is time to do it. He still has many enemies, and he can't be consumed with King Wei all the time.

And the sooner Wei land is captured, the less losses he can reduce. The last time King Wei's scorched earth policy in Yangzhou gave him a headache.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed. After the New Year, the weather gradually warmed up and the snow on the road melted. At this time, Xiao Ming urgently ordered Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun to return to Qingzhou from their respective cities.

After the order was issued, Ye Qingyun diverted from the sea to Qingzhou, while Lu Fei arrived earlier than Ye Qingyun.

After the two returned, Xiao Mingxuan and Niu Ben went to the main hall to discuss matters.

His Royal Highness, are you ready? Lu Fei asked excitedly.

Xiao Ming looked solemn, and he said, Yes, the half-year period has come, and now is the time to take Wei Di in one fell swoop, but how are you two training new recruits?

Ye Qingyun said: His Royal Highness, the recruits trained by the last general can participate in the battle at any time.

There is no problem with the recruits of the last general. Lu Fei is very confident. Now the recruits he recruited have not only completed training, but also all have standard equipment.

Xiao Ming nodded, then he stood up and faced the map on the wall of the main hall, and said, Lu Fei, after you go back, you will be responsible for feigning Chuzhou, Ye Qingyun, Yue Yun will help you reach Jinling City, and capture the thief first, King Qin, If you can directly capture Jinling City, Wei will be in chaos, and it will be easy to capture other prefectures and counties.

When the two heard the words, a strange light flashed in their eyes. If this plan was successful, Wei Di would be merged into the territory of Fengguo. A wealthy Wei Di and the Musket Team would not be their opponent.

Yes, Your Highness. Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun stood up at the same time and saluted Xiao Ming.

At this time Niu Ben said: Lu Fei, after you go back, you will send troops to Chuzhou on February 6th, Ye Qingyun, after you go back, send troops to Jinling City on February 15th.

The two nodded when they heard the words.

The battle plan against Wei Di was set, and the entire Fengguo Kingdom began to operate. Li San's secret guards continued to pass information on Wei Di to the army. At the same time, a batch of food and forage set off from Yizhou and arrived in Pengzhou.

After Lu Fei returned to Pengzhou, he immediately led 45,000 people to Chuzhou. As soon as the army moved, Wei Di's spies quickly spread the news to Jinling City.

What! Lu Fei's army is marching towards Chuzhou? King Wei in the palace of King Wei almost jumped up from his chair.

His Royal Highness, it is absolutely true that this time the Southern Expedition Army has 40,000 to 50,000 people coming to Chuzhou, but there are more than 100 artillery pieces. This King Qi is planning to completely destroy us. A man from Chuzhou The noble family trembled.

King Wei's face was extremely ugly, Xiao Ming, you bastard, what a nonsense armistice contract, this is a trap, a trap!

The Wei officials in the main hall were all trembling with fear. This Chuzhou was only three hundred miles away from Jinling City, and now they had no way out.

Xiao Han's face was even uglier than that of King Wei. He had never been a vassal king for a day, and now he is about to perish. How could he be willing? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: Father, Xiao Ming must have disliked us and compensated us. The money is too little, we can continue to cede the land and pay indemnity.”

King Wei said angrily: Idiot, now Xiao Ming doesn't want land or money, he wants the king's life, and it's useless to give him anything. I've been running Weidi for more than 20 years, and I didn't expect to give him anything today. Others made clothes.

Sitting down slowly, King Wei looked crazy: Xiao Ming wants a wealthy Wei land to dominate the world, but this king will not give him this chance. You should immediately notify the generals of Chuzhou to burn everything that can be burned in the city. , and Shouzhou, and Taizhou, and Suzhou, and Jinling City, and burn everything down!

Your Highness, it is absolutely impossible.

No, Your Highness.

...

All the ministers in the main hall shouted, Xiao Han also felt cold in his heart, he looked at his father, at this time he was not the once-powerful King Wei but a lunatic.

Father, if everything is burned, we will surely die without a place to be buried. Now there is only one way to go. Xiao Han persuaded hard, he was willing to exchange all the cities in Wei for the prosperity and wealth of Jinling City.

Shut up, I knew that I shouldn't compromise at the beginning, it's all you bastards. Since Xiao Ming is struggling, I will fight with him. If any of you dare to say no more, don't blame me on this king's sword. Ruthless.

After saying that, King Wei suddenly drew out the sword from his waist, his eyes widening in anger.

The vicious appearance of King Wei surprised Xiao Han and all the officials. They had never seen King Wei so fierce.

After glancing at the crowd, King Wei said, Xiao Ming is deceiving people too much, so please hurry up and convene the family. This king doesn't believe that Wei's army of 400,000 people can't beat him, Xiao Ming.

Xiao Han and the officials looked at each other. During this half-year period, the King of Wei summoned soldiers from various prefectures and at the same time increased the garrison of Jinling City to 200,000 people. All these actions were in response to Xiao Ming's threat.

But no one thought that Xiao Ming would attack immediately after the Chinese New Year.
