Hua Duxiu and Shen Lijia glanced at each other, their expressions were a little weird.

Could it be that Governor Peng has done something great in the Snake Valley?

Look at his cautious personality and unusually steady, not like a person who can do things drastically?

Hua Duxiu asked: "This Lord Peng, is it Governor Peng Tianlin, who is now transferred to the Trapped Demon Valley as the governor?"

Lou Qin said: "That's right, it's Governor Peng." ”

Shen Lijia interjected and said, "What Governor Peng did in Snake Valley, is it very powerful?"

Lou Qin said: "Very powerful!"

"In fact, Master Peng himself is from the Snake Valley clan, and he was born in the military, so he knows too well about the Snake Valley and the situation of the warlords. ”

"When Lord Peng was retransferred back from other realms and became the governor of Snake Valley, he led his generals and the army of the government to suppress the Sixth Route General's Mansion for two years, and first replaced the Sixth Route General with his own people. ”

"Before him, the generals of the Six Roads went their own way, and they were like the Earth Emperors in their respective regions. After Lord Peng took control of the Six-Way General's Mansion, he immediately fought the whole valley to eliminate the evil, demanded that the evil be eliminated, and it took more than two years to drive the wild warlords and bandit groups in the entire Snake Valley to more remote places, and the Governor's Mansion and the Six-Way General's Mansion under his jurisdiction controlled most of the cities in the Snake Valley. ”

Shen Lijia sighed: "Hey, Governor Peng is a werewolf, wherever he goes, he fights, it's amazing, it's amazing." ”

Lou Qinqi said: "Werewolf, what werewolf?"

Shen Lijia said: "This is our local dialect, which means a little more ruthless than a ruthless person." ”

Lou Qin savored it and smiled dumbly: "The word werewolf is so interesting. ”

Hua Duxiu said: "What kind of institution is the Sixth Route General's Mansion? Aren't they the same system as the Governor's Mansion?"

Lou Qin said: "It's an institution. Normally, the highest administrative organ of the empire in a realm is the governor's office, but the responsibilities of the governor's office are more military and stability maintenance, and the people's livelihood and government affairs of each city and town are basically under the self-determination and autonomy of the yamen of each city lord. ”

Hua Duxiu nodded: "Yes." ”

Lou Qin said: "But Snake Valley is special, because there are too many warlords here, almost every big city is controlled by local warlords, and the city lord yamen is useless. Therefore, the Governor's Palace, which holds military power, is extremely powerful. ”

However, the geography of the Snake Valley determined that it was impossible for the Governor's Mansion to mobilize a large army to conquer everywhere every day, so the six most important cities were selected in the six directions of the Snake Valley, and the General's Mansion was set up to guard them. ”

"This is the inevitable result of the development of the empire's thousands of years of history, the existence of the Six-Way General's Mansion has been a long, long time, and the total strength of the Six-Route General's Mansion has long exceeded that of the Governor's Mansion of the First Realm, and they have become the new overlords and warlords, and they are far stronger than the wild warlords, and the privileged warlords directly under the nominal empire. ”

Shen Lijia asked, "As a result, it only took two years for Governor Peng to wipe out these six great warlords?"

Lou Qin said: "It can't be called extinguished. Lord Peng just took out the generals who did not obey the orders of the Governor's Mansion and replaced them with the generals he brought, so that the Sixth Route General's Mansion became a subordinate yamen who obeyed the orders of the Governor's Palace. ”

Hua Duxiu asked: "Then why is Snake Valley still so chaotic now? It stands to reason that at least it should be safe to take the main road and official road?"

Lou Qin said: "You don't know anything. In order to prevent the governor from becoming too difficult to manage, the empire imposed a strict requirement on the term of office of the governor of a realm, that is, five years. Master Peng has too many things to do, but he has too little time, so he can only push forward many things, but he has no time to achieve perfection. ”

The six new generals he chose were more powerful and domineering than the previous ones, because only in this way could these foreign generals be able to suppress the officers who lived in the general's mansion, and they could also lead their respective armies to conquer the surrounding bandit groups and maintain peace on the side. ”

"When the situation settles, these six generals will have more military power and ambitions than their predecessors. Governor Peng's drastic governance of the Snake Valley made the Snake Valley safer and the people's lives better, but he also touched the interests of too many big slave owners. ”

"There are no robbers to rob and arrest people, there is no war to create displaced people, what business do slave owners do? Where do slaves come from?"

"Slavery existed in the Snake Valley for countless years, even before the empire was founded, and it was deeply entrenched. Moreover, the interests of the great slave owners were bound to the wild warlords, robbers, and even the leaders of the cities, and Lord Peng came from a common family in the Snake Valley, and what he did was beneficial to the people, but it stood in the way of the prosperity of the upper class rentiers. ”

"Therefore, the outside world blackened Master Peng very seriously, saying that he destroyed the political ecology of Snake Valley, took out six generals, and immediately replaced his subordinates without waiting for the appointment of the empire, because he wanted to be the emperor of the soil and the biggest warlord in Snake Valley. ”

Shen Lijia scratched his head and said, "Please forgive me for talking too much, according to what you say, this Lord Peng seems to have indeed become the biggest warlord and soil emperor in the Snake Valley?"

Lou Qin said: "But his term of office is only five years? As soon as the five years are up, the situation in the Snake Valley has just opened up, and he will be transferred, if he is the emperor of the soil for himself, why should he be so tired? He did not enjoy the fruits of his own planting at all, but the ordinary people tasted the peace and peace that they had never experienced in those years. ”

Hua Duxiu said: "Sister Lou, don't listen to the little fat man's nonsense, you then said what happened later?"

Lou Qin continued: "The most taboo thing for the empire in various realms is military division and one-man dictatorship, so there is a check and balance model in which the governor's office is in charge of the army, and the city lords and counties are in charge of internal affairs. ”

"Those whose interests have been seriously harmed, they sent people to the Imperial Capital of the Wonder Realm to spread rumors, portraying Governor Peng as an ambitious and condemnable person, as soon as the five-year period arrives, even if Governor Peng has a strong backer in the center of the empire, the empire still immediately ordered Lord Peng to go to the Trapped Demon Valley, completely disconnected from the Snake Valley. ”

As soon as Master Peng left, the six generals he appointed immediately formed an alliance with the big slave owners, chaebols, and warlords of the Snake Valley, and returned to the old path of the military division of the Six Military Mansions. ”

Hua Duxiu frowned: "How did it become like this? Aren't they turning back the wheel of history?"

Lou Qin said: "If they adhere to the governance model led by Lord Peng, the entrenched big slave owners and chaebols in the Snake Valley will have a hundred ways to get rid of them and make them untenable, just as they did with Lord Peng." ”

"The term of office of the governor is five years, but the generals of the Six Routes do not have a strict term of office, and as long as the empire does not issue new appointments, they can sit in their positions forever. ”

"Even if there is a new appointment in the Empire, this appointment will not be implemented. When the new general arrived, either the army mutinied and killed him, or these people died inexplicably on the way to come. In this way, no one dares to easily touch the cake of the Sixth Route General's Mansion, and these six generals have almost become hereditary replacements, and the throne inherited by the father and the son. ”

Hua Duxiu said, "Until Governor Peng comes?"

Lou Qin said: "That's right, until Master Peng came, he used a very powerful skill to get rid of the old six generals, but as soon as he left, the new six generals became their predecessors again." ”

"These six generals can only sit in their positions by cooperating with the big slave owners and chaebols, and can they have a steady stream of military funds to raise troops. And the big slave owners and chaebols also need the military force of the general's government to protect their families and industries, and the confluence of pollution is an inevitable result, and it doesn't matter who sits in that position. ”

"Now, the Governor's Mansion has become a weak side again, the new Governor is unable to check and balance the Six Route Generals, and the Six Route Generals are not dealing with each other, barely maintaining a fighting but unbroken overall situation. ”

Hua Duxiu asked: "Sister Lou, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

Lou Qin had long sideburns and hair, and said with a charming smile: "Little Bailong, my sister will say this when she sees that you two are cordial, don't think about it too much, just ask any questions." ”

Hua Duxiu said: "It can be seen that Sister Lou is sympathetic to the Governor's Palace, and she is very disgusted with the Sixth Route General and various warlords and chaebols. ”

Lou Qin said with a smile: "We ordinary people in Snake Valley all think like this, what's so strange about this. ”

Hua Duxiu said: "Ordinary people have this idea, dare to say so?"

Lou Qin was stunned, looked left and right, and said, "At this time, there is no one else in my store, what dare you not say." ”

Shen Lijia and the shopkeeper who was cleaning both looked at Hua Duxiu, not knowing what he meant.

Hua Duxiu said generously: "Sister Lou, do you know what my identity is, tell me this, you are not afraid of getting into trouble?"

Lou Qin smiled: "Then tell me, what is your identity?"

Hua Duxiu took out the token from his arms, and said with a serious face: "I am an Imperial Token Walking Captain Officer, Ms. Lou, you just told me so much, are you afraid?"

Everyone was shocked, including Shen Lijia.

Shen Lijia stared at Hua Duxiu inexplicably, not knowing what medicine he was in the gourd.

Lou Qin was shocked, took a closer look at the token in Hua Duxiu's hand, looked Hua Duxiu up and down, and asked:

"Little brother, are you really an imperial military attaché?"

Hua Duxiu said: "Isn't it clearly written on this, Tong Su is not bullied." ”

Lou Qin said: "Then can I take a look at your token?"

Hua Duxiu said, "Okay!"

Lou Qin took the token in Hua Duxiu's hand and looked through it carefully, and asked: "'Subordinate to the Mobei Boundary'?

Hua Duxiu nodded: "Not bad." ”

Lou Qin asked again: "How can the military attache of the Mobei Realm have a token specially given by the imperial family? This token is definitely not a forgery, I'm afraid it is not a low level, right?"

Hua Duxiu took the token and put it back in her arms, and asked rhetorically: "Sister Lou, I see that you are extraordinary and knowledgeable, so I guessed that you are definitely not an ordinary person." First of all, what is your identity?"

Lou Qin smiled and said, "You, you're really a little ghost." ”

"That's right, my husband is the captain of the Governor's Mansion in Snake Valley, and he is a military attache stationed in a city, and he has an official position similar to you, but his token is not as aura as yours, it is just a bronze medal. ”

Shen Lijia said: "No wonder you dare to say anything, it turns out that your brother-in-law has a lot of power, do you have a background?"

Lou Qin said: "What background is not a background, I can protect myself in Golden Horn City with this background, and it is as dangerous as outside." ”

Hua Duxiu said: "Me and this little fat dragon must cross the Snake Valley and enter the Wonder World, sister, how do you think we should go?"

Shen Lijia emphasized: "It's a 'little fat dragon', not a little fat dragon!"

Hua Duxiu frowned: "Aren't they all the same?"

Shen Lijia said: "How can it be the same, 'fat' looks cute, and 'fat' is fat!

Hua Duxiu said: "I think it's still the same. ”

Lou Qin said: "You two have to cross the Snake Valley, in addition to the wilderness full of poisonous snakes, the small and large towns where warlords and robbers are rampant, and the important cities in the hands of the government from north to south must pass through three. ”

"The important town in the north - General Shence City, where General Shence is entrenched. Further south is the center of the Snake Valley, where the capital of the Governor is located, Anlin City. Further south of Anlin City, more than 500 miles away is the important town in the south - General Longwu City. ”

Lou Qin said: "Speaking of three big cities, in fact, these three cities span more than 1,000 miles from north to south, isolated by mountains and rivers, rampant with bandits, and crises everywhere, which are definitely not easy to pass." ”

"What's more, it's almost impossible for you to get a guide who can take you across the entire Snake Valley and keep you safe!"
