(Ask for recommendations, ask for favorites, ask for clicks!)

On that day, the people of Tianhong City were still working for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea as usual, but a storm broke their peace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The city defenders, the Imperial Forest Army, the Divine Capture Camp and the Inspection Division, like a whirlwind, seized the Seven Star Martial Arts Hall and the Jinhong Martial Arts Hall successively, and then arrested Zou Jinrui, who was under surveillance, confiscated the Xingyu Grain Store, and finally pointed the finger at the Jinhong Gang.

At the beginning of the war, the Jinhong Gang was taken by surprise, but after reacting, Xu Changgeng's fierce true colors were revealed, and he ordered all the halls of the Jinhong Gang to attack the palace.

Imagine, after the destruction of the Blue Dragon Gang, more than 300,000 gangs of the Jinhong Gang launched an all-out attack on the palace, even the well-trained city defenders, the Royal Forest Army, the Divine Capture Camp and the Inspection Division failed to stop them, so they could only set up checkpoints along the way to block the impact of the Jinhong Gang.

It's a pity that these levels can only play a slight role in blocking, seeing that the Jinhong Gang is about to rush into the palace, Zhu Yunyu finally let the Dragon Scale Guard make a move, Defeng and Dere both have the strength of Xu Changgeng, and the commander under the rule of the Dragon Scale Wei also has the strength of the Jinhong Gang Master, so Defeng and Dre made a plan and implemented the beheading operation, and the two led the commanders under their rule to select their respective targets, and with the cooperation of the army, they quickly killed Xu Changgeng and the Jin Hong Gang Hall Master one by one.

The Jinhong Gang had no leader, and hundreds of thousands of people scattered under the shock, breaking through separately, allowing the war to spread to all corners of Tianhong City, and it was not until dozens of days later that Tianhong City returned to its former tranquility, but this was only the tranquility on the surface.

Zhu Yunyu hated the gang forces in Tianhong City, and after eradicating the Jinhong Gang, Zhu Yunyu asked the Inspection Department to concentrate on clearing the countless small gangs in Tianhong City, so until the Six Gods of the Evil Star came to Tianhong City, the Inspection Department was very busy, and they had to fight with these small gangs almost every day.

The inspection department every day and night to clean up the small gangs, but the effect is very little, these small gangs are like weeds, the wildfire burns inexhaustibly, the spring breeze blows and grows, whenever the inspection department clears up, they hear the wind they hide, and when the people of the inspection department leave, they come out to do activities again, it takes so much effort, a few months down, the small gangs are actually less than one in ten.

The inspection of the inspection department was extremely distressed, but he didn't dare to say it to Zhu Yunyu, so he had to let the officers of the inspection department run around every day and night, so that the people of Tianhong City were uneasy.

And Zhu Yunyu, who ordered the elimination of many small gangs in Tianhong City, had his own troubles.

Originally, according to Zhu Yunyu's plan, after arresting Zou Jinrui, he gave Zou Jinrui a secret medicine that spit out the truth, and asked Zou Jinrui to explain the warehouse address of Xingyu Grain Store clearly, so that the grain of Xingyu Grain Store could be confiscated. Zhu Yunyu planned to use the grain stored in Xingyu Grain Store as grain and grass for the army, and sent troops to Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunqi, as for whether ordinary people could eat food, Zhu Yunyu did not think too much.

Unexpectedly, after Zou Jinrui took the secret medicine, he actually told the interrogator: "The book that records the address of the warehouse has been burned by me." ”

In this way, Zhu Yunyu fetched water in a bamboo basket, and in a fit of anger, he ordered Zou Jinrui to be executed, and Zou Jinrui cursed when he was dying: "Zhu Yunyu, you are stupid and incompetent, and you will definitely become the ugliest maggot if you are reincarnated!"

Of course, with such disobedient words, the executioner did not dare to tell Zhu Yunyu.

And after Zhu Yunyu, who failed to get Xingyu grain and grain, ordered to kill Zou Jinrui, he had already called Ren Chonghuan, the secretary of the military department, to the council hall to discuss the matter of sending troops to attack Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunqi, and Zhu Yunyu was also summoned by Dazai Wei Jin and Ding Qiandan, the secretary of the household department.

Wei Jin, Ren Chonghuan, and Ding Qiandan have never discussed politics with Zhu Yunyu together in the council hall, among the three of them, Wei Jin governs the hundred officials, Ren Chonghuan commands the generals, and Ding Qiandan is in charge of finance, all of them are real power figures, and they all gathered at this time, and the three of them all smelled something unusual, especially Tianhong City had just experienced a big turmoil, so they muttered: "Is Your Majesty going to make a move on those two?"

Sure enough, Zhu Yunyu didn't let the three of them wait too long, and came to the council hall, at this time Zhu Yunyu's gray hair was more than half, and his spirit was not very good, but everyone knew that this seemingly harmless old man became crazy because of the loss of his independence, and the first thing Zhu Yunyu said when he came to the council hall was: " The three Qing families, Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxi have the heart of rebellion, want to get rid of me and then quickly, I often treat them with a tolerant heart, but the two thieves do not remember the love of the same clan, blood relatives, first snatched the Ziyun sword, and then there was the assassination of the prince, if I do not kill the two thieves, how to run the court, so I summoned the three to come to ask you to discuss countermeasures, after March, the army will slaughter the state and Nanzhou, and take the heads of the two thieves. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunyu was already full of emotion, with an expression of choosing people to devour.

After Zhu Yunyu finished speaking, Dazai Wei Jin responded first and said: "Your Majesty treats people benevolently and righteously, and is very generous to the two traitors, and they are not grateful to Dade, but now they are perverse and murder the prince, and the ministers are willing to be pawns for Your Majesty, and cut off the heads of the two traitors and present them to Your Majesty." ”

When Zhu Yunyu heard this, his face turned slightly gloomy: "Lord Wei's loyalty to me, I see it in my eyes, go south to crusade against the two traitors, I have my own heavy responsibility entrusted to you, and Lord Ren is here to attack the city, so there is no need for Dazai to bother!"

Ren Chonghuan hurriedly expressed his loyalty at this time: "Your Majesty! The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are wide, and the ministers can dispatch millions of soldiers for Your Majesty to send at any time!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunyu frowned slightly: "Lord Ren, I'm afraid one million soldiers is not enough, just one Zhu Yunqi, there are five million soldiers under him, you have to find me ten million soldiers!"

Ren Chonghuan was in a cold sweat, and said: "This, this, the soldiers from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty add up to a total of 50 million, but most of them have to guard the border passes, guard the city, if some soldiers are drawn from it, you can also make up tens of millions of soldiers, but it is bound to weaken the border defense, now there are strong enemies around the Great Zhou Kingdom, and there are more Great Yan countries in the north, if you weaken the border defense, I am afraid it is not appropriate!"

After Ren Chonghuan finished speaking, before Zhu Yunyu could speak, Wei Jin snorted lightly: "Lord Ren, don't you still understand Your Majesty's will? Asking you to transfer tens of millions of soldiers is an order, not to discuss with you, Your Majesty is far-sighted, don't you know that there will be risks in transferring soldiers?"

Zhu Yunyu glanced at Dazai Wei Jin, coughed lightly and said, "What Lord Wei said is exactly what I want, Lord Ren, you will transfer tens of millions of soldiers to me within three months, otherwise be careful of your head." ”

Ren Chonghuan bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister obeys!"

Now that there are soldiers and there is still a shortage of food and grass, Zhu Yunyu looked at Ding Qiandan, the head of the household department who had not spoken, and asked: "Lord Ding, can the household department prepare the grain and grass of tens of millions of soldiers?"

Ding Qiandan sighed, and replied aloud at the moment: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister told you the truth, the grain and grass of tens of millions of soldiers can be made up, but it can only support half a year, if you fail to take down the two traitors within half a year, the grain and grass will be interrupted, and you can only wait for the autumn harvest of the next year to collect all the grain and grass again!"

Zhu Yunyu heard that the grain and grass could only be used for half a year, and asked: "Lord Ding, after one month, it will be the time of this year's autumn harvest, if the tax is increased and sixty percent of the autumn harvest grain is used as military rations, how long can it be supported?"

Ding Qiandan was shocked when he heard this: "The half-year period mentioned by the minister has already included the tax revenue of this autumn, if the tax is changed from thirty percent to sixty percent, it is indeed possible to maintain the military salary for half a year, but the Great Zhou Kingdom will fall into famine, please think twice!"

At this time, Wei Jin reprimanded again: "Lord Ding, killing the traitor is the first thing, Your Majesty has given the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom a peaceful life, and now they are sacrificing a little, can't it?"

"But... Ding Qiandan still had to be distinguished, but was stopped by Zhu Yunyu: "Okay, the two Qing families, Lord Ding's concerns are not unreasonable, so it's okay, just change the tax from 30% to 50% this autumn, and don't starve to death!"

Ding Qiandan reluctantly bowed down and agreed, while Wei Jin said loudly: "Your Majesty is benevolent, God bless my emperor, kill the traitor." ”

Even if Zhu Yunyu was no longer heartless, he knew that Wei Jin was patting on the back, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wei, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, whether it is the gathering of soldiers or the collection of grain and grass, the cooperation of hundreds of officials of the imperial court is indispensable. ”

Wei Jin immediately bowed down and said: "The minister will convene a hundred officials to discuss and assign the matter down, if any of them delay the business, the minister will be the first to punish him." ”
