The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"What the hell happened? Can anyone explain?"

"What else could happen? After learning that the Qin army was going south to attack Nanzhi, the big devil Wu Yang and Li Zheng ran away overnight in fright. When news of Wu Yang and Li Zheng's running away was heard the next day, his [-] troops disbanded in an instant, and all of them ran away. Lost!"

"Qin Jun is really a heavenly soldier. Just relying on his momentum, he can scare Wu Yang half to death!"

"The Qin army is mighty!"

"You are from Yan, why are you calling Qin Jun mighty!"

"Fuck, I just called Qin Jun mighty, what can you do?"

"We don't have enough to eat and we don't have enough clothes to keep warm. It's all done by the dignitaries of the court. If they treated us as human beings, how could we have fallen into the situation we are in today? Let's not talk about it. I'm going home to prepare the dishes and chopsticks , Waiting for the Qin army to enter the city to distribute food!"

"I'm just waiting for the day when the Qin army enters the city, and I can finally fill my belly once!"

"Qin Jun hasn't come yet, the old man can't wait!"

"Old man, hold on!"

"When the Qin army comes, we will be saved, and we won't have to worry about food then!"

"Look at the people of Qin, looking at us, alas, there is no harm without comparison, this fatuous court should perish!"

"Dayan has been established for 800 years, 800 years, don't you pariahs have any desire to save them? Don't you just watch the Great Yan country fall in 800 years?"

"Who is this person?"

"It seems to be the former county magistrate, Mr. Wang!"

"It turned out to be him, the old man just said, how could someone say such a thing at this time!"

"Dog officer, please listen to me. I don't have any heart to save Dayan, and I really want Dayan to be destroyed, because this Dayan has become extremely stupid and cruel. It is because of this Dayan that That's why we became the disheveled and hungry people we are now!"

"That's right, Dayan became what he is now, and it has an inseparable relationship with you, a dog official. If it weren't for your inaction and incompetence, it would not have become what it is now. We need the rule of the Great Qin, and the folks and elders Ladies, do you think so!"

"Yes!!"

"You...you untouchables, damn it, really damn it!"

"One bite at a time, shit, brothers, I can't help it, fuck him to death!"

"Don't, murder is against the law, and he is still an official of the court. Although he is dead in name, he is still a local parent official in name!"

"What are you afraid of? Yan Fa died a long time ago. Kill him and take his head to the Qin army for a reward!"

"Dry!"

"beat!"

"No, I'm wrong!"

People in Nanzhi County and the surrounding areas learned that Wu Yang had escaped, and they all happily walked out of the house to congratulate each other, which caused a strong sensation. In the eyes of Yan people, Qin Jun is the savior. Arrive at their city one day earlier.

How sad and shameful it is for the people of this country to regard other countries as their saviors, but the dignitaries of the Yan court don't care about shame and sorrow at all. They only care about the immediate interests and think about how to get the most from the hands of the Qin army.

It is precisely because of this that no ordinary Yan people miss the Dayan Dynasty, and no one wants to save the 800-year-old Yan Dynasty!

.....

Thirty miles north of Nanzhi County, on a relatively wide official road, there is a long black dragon that can't see the end. Announced to the world that this is the Great Qin Army!

In the middle of the army, under the Nine Dragon Banner, Ying Chang is riding a cloud horse, watching the scenery on both sides of the official road while marching. Although the Yan Empire is weak and the people are poor, the scenery is still very good and can be pleasing to the eye!

After looking at the scenery for a while, Ying Chang turned to Bai Qi next to him and asked, "How far have you walked?"

Bai Qi took out the small map that he carried with him, looked at it while riding on the horse, then turned his head to look at Ying Chang and replied: "Our army has traveled day and night, and has traveled more than 270 miles, and the distance to the south is less than [-] miles. Get there before dark!"

Since taking down Huaibei City, Yingchang has led his army southward to attack Nanzhi County. It has been three days since he walked, and he has traveled more than 270 miles day and night in three days, which is a good speed.

"Report!"

tread... tread...

In vain, at this time, an urgent report and a sound of horseshoes came from the front. Ying Chang and other generals looked up and saw Alukege leading ten cavalry from the Prairie Army galloping forward. Bringing people over, Ying Chang immediately drove the horses out of the ranks of the army, came to the edge of the official road, and then stood on the edge and waited for Alukgo.

Bai Qi and Du Changjing also walked out of the ranks of the army with Ying Chang, and stood behind Ying Chang together. The reason why the three of them left the ranks of the ranks was to prevent the march of the ranks from being hindered. They were in the middle of the ranks of the ranks. Stop, the army following them has to stop.

When Alukege rode his horse and came three steps ahead of Yingchang, he immediately jumped off his horse and knelt down on one knee with a very respectful expression to make a report: "Report to Your Majesty, I will be ordered to return to report at the end!"

When he captured the Great Wall of Ningta, Alukgo volunteered to serve as an envoy to help Wu Yang and persuade him to surrender. Now, he has finally returned.

Ying Chang, who was riding on the cloud horse, looked down at Alukgo, who was kneeling on one knee, and said, "Get up and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Alukgo thanked him, then got up from the ground, bowed his waist slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, when the last general led people to Nanzhi County, there was no one in Nanzhi County. One pawn, according to the people in the city, Wu Yang, the Marquis of Ji, was frightened and fled overnight when he learned that my Great Qin King's army was going south, and his army fell apart in an instant, and all of them dispersed!"

"This Wu Yang is a bit smart!" Ying Chang smiled. He was not surprised that Wu Yang escaped. way!

Wu Yang is a notorious villain who has done all kinds of evil. Whether he surrenders or not, Ying Chang will find a reason to kill him, and then use his head to win the hearts of the people. Therefore, his only The way to survive is to run, and the farther you run, the better.

Ying Chang had expected that he would run away before, but he was not particularly sure that he would run away. After all, when thinking about this kind of multiple-choice question, most of them would choose to surrender in exchange for prosperity and wealth, but Wu Yang did not choose to surrender, but chose his only one. A good way to survive.

It is precisely because of this that Ying Chang thinks that Wu Yang, a bandit, is quite smart.

"After Wu Yang's collapse, our Great Qin's enemies in Jiyuan County are only King Ning of Jiaocheng and Yuanhou Liu Shen in the southern area of ​​Jiyuan County. Only this King Ning can pose a threat to our Qin army!" Du Changjing said calmly.

"Let's talk while walking!" After Ying Chang finished speaking, he drove Yun Xiao forward and marched with the army, but he did not return to the original queue, and was still at the edge of the official road. Bai Qi, Du Changjing, A Lu Ke Ge followed closely.

While walking, Ying Chang said unhurriedly: "Da Yan has ten top families, namely the Deng family, Ji family, Song family, Dong family, Huang family, Ning family, Zhao family, Tian family, and Fang family. Among the ten top families, the three families of Zhao, Tian, ​​and Fang are the lowest, the three families of Huang, Liu, and Ji are the middle class, and the four families of Deng, Song, Ning, and Dong are the upper class!"

"The Zhao family and the Tian family must be familiar to you. That's right. Concubine Jia Tianyue and Concubine Ling Zhao Mu are from the Zhao Tian family. Speaking of which, the Zhao Tian family can become one of the top ten families in Dayan. They all rely on the great Qin Empire's national prestige, so that many families in Dayan dare not provoke the Great Qin imperial family, causing the two families to soar into the sky and spread their power to the whole of Dayan!"

"I just don't know if I, Daqin Fayan, has had an impact on the Zhao Tian family. That's all, I won't talk about this. Let's talk about the Fang family. You may be unfamiliar with the Fang family, but Fang Kong, the former commander of the Bailan Great Wall, you know, right?" , Fang Kong was the head of the Fang family back then!"

"The Fang family is similar to my Great Qin Du family and the Yang family. They are all families of generals. They have served as generals for generations. Their ancestors have made great contributions for generations. They are one of the best families of generals in Dayan. But from now on, the Fang family will decline, unless If there is a good general to serve Daqin, otherwise, the Fang family will never be able to return to their former peak!"

"Let's talk about the Huang, Liu, and Ji families. The Huang family and the Ji family are families of officials and eunuchs with rich heritage. There have been at least five prime ministers in their ancestors. Seventy percent of the men in the family are officials, big or small. The Patriarch of the Ji Family is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"He Jie, Marquis of Haozhou, who ruled Haozhou County, is the son-in-law of the Ji family, and the Liu family, you should be familiar with the Liu family. Liu Zhendong, Marquis of Yanhuaibei, is the head of the Liu family. Like the Fang family, he is one of the best generals in the Great Yan Empire. The future fate of the aristocratic family may be like that of the Fang family!"

"There are also the Deng, Song, Ning, and Dong families. These four families can be regarded as the top ten high-ranking families. Their background cannot be underestimated. The head of the Deng family, Deng Huazhen, is the first-rank prime minister. Juzheng, the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, Song Zheng, the king of Yun who ruled Mengcheng in Mengjun County, is a member of the Song family; The head of the Dong family, Dong Xingguan Juzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the king of Ming, Dong Li, who ruled in Mingguang County, is a member of the Dong family!"

Perhaps Ying Chang was in a happy mood, so he couldn't help talking about the ten big families of Dayan, and told the general situation of the ten big families of Dayan.

"Listen to what your Majesty said, the civil strife in the Yan Empire was caused by those noble families. Among the five kings, the noble families accounted for three!" Alukego who followed Yingchang showed a sudden realization, as if he had understood The civil strife in the Yan Empire.

"There is a folk saying that a family made of iron is a dynasty of flowing water; dynasties have been destroyed a hundred times, but no family has been destroyed once. Even the collapse of many dynasties was dominated by the family. The birth of a dynasty is also dominated by the family!"

"For example, the current Yan royal family, 800 years ago, before the Yan Empire was established, the Daliang Empire ruled here at that time, and the Yan royal family at that time was just an aristocratic family, and it was the Yan family that finally destroyed the Liang Dynasty, and the Yan family was established later. After entering the Yan Dynasty, he transformed himself into a royal family!"

"The prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the family, the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the family, and even a step forward. Don't look at Dayan's family fighting among themselves. In fact, no matter who wins, they can benefit. It's just fighting for the throne!" Ying Chang said calmly.

"Zheng Long is not a member of the family. If Zheng Long destroys the Yan Dynasty, will he kill those families?" Alukege asked curiously.

As a Hun, he didn't know what an aristocratic family was, so he was very curious about how the aristocratic family lasted for thousands of years.

"If Zheng Long destroys the Yan Dynasty and establishes a new dynasty, he will not attack those families. The reason is simple. The major families have rich backgrounds and many talents. Zheng Long needs the families to help him govern the world, otherwise he will be the emperor. Soon!" Ying Chang replied.

The people of Yan are bitter and cold, and those who can read and write are most likely from aristocratic families. Zheng Long wants to rule the world, but he can't let those soldiers who can't read big characters to govern the mountains and rivers. So in the final analysis, he can't do without the family. And the aristocratic family can profit from it, even if they don't get any benefits, they don't lose anything, it's just a new master.

"So, it's hard to destroy this family!" Alukege couldn't help being surprised, he didn't expect that since the vitality of this family is so stubborn, even the collapse of the dynasty can't cause substantial damage to it, and it may even go up to a higher level building.

"Haha!" Du Changjing smiled, "These aristocratic families covering the sky with their hands will soon decline!"

Du Changjing has something to say!

Although Capital Changjing did not say it clearly, people with a discerning eye understand clearly that the tenth-class peasant system, free school system, and compulsory preparatory camp system implemented by the Great Qin Empire are all fatal blows to the family. There is no family at all. These policies have become stronger, let alone covering the sky with one hand and playing with the world.

When Great Qin destroys Great Yan, the family of officials and eunuchs of Great Yan will instantly weaken and become a low-level family, because Great Qin has enough talents in its own right to completely replace these family officials. What is even more gratifying is that the talents of Great Qin are not loyal to any noble family , only loyal to the Great Qin Empire, they are a group of excellent talents who mainly focus on the interests of the empire!

"General Du, Ah Qi, General Gu Yuan, believe it or not, in a few days, King Ning Ning, who occupies Jiaocheng, will come to discuss terms with me in person!" Ying Chang turned to look at the three people behind him with a half-smile and said, Then he turned back to look at the road.

The fact that the major families raised troops to confer kings and marquises was essentially to take advantage of the chaos to seek benefits for the family. Now that Zheng Long has surrendered to Qin, the Qin army has smashed Liu Zhendong and Wu Yang with a destructive force, which has made the complicated situation clear. Knowing that the Yan Empire will become the second Jin Empire.

With such a clear situation, those aristocratic families will not be blind, and they will certainly not stubbornly resist, and will use the power in their hands to exchange benefits with the Qin Empire.

"Natural letter, but Your Majesty, will you agree to his conditions?" Du Changjing looked at Ying Chang in front and smiled.

"That depends on what conditions he proposes, haha!"

"shelf!"

Ying Chang laughed loudly, and couldn't help but started galloping his horse. Seeing Ying Chang galloping, Alu Kege, Bai Qi, and Du Changjing also accelerated, and followed Ying Chang to gallop.

Three hours in a flash, Shen Shi!

At this time of Shenshi, the sun was already setting towards the western mountain. The sun at this time was especially like the current Dayan Empire, where the sun was setting towards the western mountain.

PS: "The author corrects me. It was written before: King Yun Song is occupying Yun County. This is the author's mistake. Yun County belongs to the Jin Empire. The prefectural city of Mengcheng, the author also revised the chapters that were sent out before, and changed them to the current Mengcheng, the prefectural city of Mengjun, I hope all readers will remember it!"

Chapter 686 If you can't take it by force, then outsmart it!

Nanzhi County!

The red light of the sunset covered the whole world. The city walls, towers, residential buildings and other buildings in Nanzhi County were covered with red clothes. On both sides of the gate, the gate of the city presents a magnificent scene of crowds and crowds.

Most of these people are old people, children, and women. There are very few young adults, or even none. The people came to Nanzhi in the past two days.

The reason why they came to Nanzhi was that they knew that the Qin army was about to arrive in Nanzhi County. They had been hungry for a long time, and they didn't know when the last time they had a full meal, and what it was like to die, and Qin army entered the city. , which means opening warehouses to release grain, which means that the people in the city can have a full meal.

In order to have enough food, they did not hesitate to trek long distances and cross mountains to Nanzhi County!

This is the charm of food, as long as you have food in your hands, you don’t have to worry about no one being loyal to you. Of course, this is a troubled time, let alone a prosperous world!

Everyone held a broken bowl and pot in their hands, and looked at the North Official Road with expectant eyes. In the face of hope, even the dying are struggling.

Boom.... boom....

At sunset and dusk, there was a faint sound of horseshoes from the north. As soon as they heard the sound of horseshoes, [-] to [-] hungry people were shocked and looked excited. The hungry people finally saw the black armored army and the black Qin character army flag!

"coming!"

"Qin Jun is finally here!"

"We are saved, we are saved!"

"Come on!"

One after another, the hungry people shouted heart-piercingly, venting their excitement. For a while, the hungry people rushed towards the Qin army with red eyes. For the enemy, the sword and shield soldiers erected a shield wall, and the crossbowmen aimed their crossbows at the menacing hungry people.

"The people in front stop immediately, and those who approach a hundred steps away from the lineup will be killed without mercy!" A captain of the Qin army drew his sword and shouted sternly.

"kill!!"

The generals and soldiers of the Qin Army shouted angrily, and let out a burst of murderous screams, which made countless hungry people stop and dare not approach!

"what happened?"

In vain at this time, a voice came from a voice that was not angry and arrogant, and the soldiers of the Qin army subconsciously turned their heads and looked back, only to see the Great Qin Emperor Ying Chang hurriedly riding on the Yunxiao war horse, followed by Bai Qi, Du Changjing, Alukgo.

Captain Qin, who drew his sword to face each other just now, quickly put away his sword and walked towards Ying Chang with a respectful expression. When he was three steps away from Ying Chang, he knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Your Majesty, The hungry people wanted to rush to my formation, but the last general stopped them!"

Ying Chang looked up at the official road ahead, only to see that the official road ahead had been blocked by dense crowds of hungry people, blocking the way for the Qin army to enter the city.

Seeing the dense crowd of hungry people, Alukgo couldn't help but wondered: "Didn't scouts say before that Nanzhi County only has a population of 8000? Why are there so many suddenly? Could it be that Wu Yang's soldiers disguised themselves as hungry people?"

Du Changjing frowned, and observed carefully. After observing, his frown relaxed, "These hungry people are either old people, or women and children. They should be the people around Nanzhi, not Wu Yang's subordinates!"

While Du Changjing was speaking, Ying Chang drove his horse forward and walked towards the densely packed hungry people. When he was a hundred steps away from the hungry people, Ying Chang said to thousands of hungry people with a smile on his face: "Everyone! , I am the Great Qin Emperor Yingchang, I know that you have not had a full meal for many days, and you are desperate to get a mouthful of food to save your life!"

"But can you make way for the official way and let my Qin army enter the city. After my Qin army enters the city, we will open warehouses and release food. I can guarantee that you will have a hot and full meal!"

"Okay, okay, His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor is truly a king of benevolence and righteousness!"

"Welcome His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor to enter the city!"

"Long live Daqin!"

"Long live Renjun!"

"It is rumored that Emperor Qin loved the people like a son, and he always thought of the people. Seeing him today, the rumors are indeed true!"

"We will have a better life in the future!"

"Stop yelling, get out of the way quickly, don't hinder the division of benevolence and righteousness from entering the city, spread out!"

"hurry up!"

The hungry people all showed excitement and gratitude, and quickly moved out of the way to allow the army to enter the city.

"Enter the city!" Ying Chang shouted lightly!

"Enter the city!"

"Enter the city!"

Generals at all levels conveyed orders one after another. After the order was conveyed to the whole army, the long black dragon that had just stopped moved again, passed through the team of hungry people, passed through the gates of Nanzhi and North, and entered Nanzhi County smoothly. Zhi County changed hands to Qin, and the hands of the Great Qin Empire entered Jiyuan County!
