197: Iron ore

Shen Quehuan's heart slowly soothed, she raised her face and asked, "The country knows the news of the iron mine, and also has an idea about the eastern border, right?"

Qi Linyu's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "In the past 20 years, the country has undergone a change of dynasty, the new monarch is eloquent, and the martial arts are prominent, not only reforming many bad policies in the country, but also implementing new laws, so that the country that has suffered from years of war has begun to stabilize, recover and develop, and finally become a prosperous country.

At that time, the state did not use drastic measures to suppress Dayue to extract ore from the east, but sent people to instill the use and benefits of iron smelting into the people of the east.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the dying king of the eastern realm finally saw the true face of Mingzong, he used beauties and gold and silver to corrode the body and mind of the subjects of the eastern realm, but exchanged for the real treasure of the eastern realm.

The king of the eastern realm, who realized this, was so angry that he vomited evil blood and died.

The prince of the Eastern Kingdom, Salin, took over as the king, he and his father had diametrically opposite personalities, he was a radical and reckless man, and he personally took more than 100 Jingwei to Dayue to ask for an explanation before he ascended the throne of the king.

Like a rural villager, when he learned that he was being bullied, his first reaction was to ask for money and profits, but he forgot that the eastern border and Dayue at that time were undoubtedly eggs and stones. Salin and the more than 100 personal soldiers he brought were all annihilated before they could get close to Yan'an City.

However, Salin's move caused a lot of commotion in the Dayue Dynasty, and the ministers speculated about Salin's intention to lead his guards to rush to Dayue Kyoto. And this doubt gradually became apparent soon after, and the news of the Ming Sect sending troops to mine in the eastern territory spread to Yan'an City in the form of rumors.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, the Dayue Dynasty was in an uproar, and the civil and military generals wrote to ask Mingzong to hear and hear it correctly, and the first assistant of the dynasty, who was aware of the truth of the matter, could not accept it for a while and crashed to death on the pillar of the Chaohua Palace.

At this point, the Ming sect's army secretly exploited the mineral deposits in the eastern territory, and it was revealed to the world.

Mingzong's profit-centered imperial power became precarious, but after twenty years of iron ore mining, Mingzong not only possessed unimaginable gold and silver, but also weapons enough to decide the victory of the war.

When the truth was revealed, Mingzong made a decision that shocked the government and the opposition, he wanted to be fifty-nine years old, personally led an army of 300,000 to attack the country, and he wanted to see the fall of the country and the fruits of the war to Dayue in his lifetime.

But the people of Dayue, who have been at peace for 20 years, do not want to see war, and the border towns of Dayue and the border towns of the country have long been accustomed to peace.

Just when Mingzong gathered casting craftsmen to build the Xuanjin battle armor for himself, Mingzong's own nephew, the thirty-year-old King Qi Lie, led the Zhenbei Marquis to rebel, captured the royal capital in one fell swoop, and went straight to the Chaohua Palace.

"It is said that when the Emperor was pierced through the heart by the Marquis of Zhenbei, the Praetorian Guards of the Chaohua Hall did not move, so many years, the guards of Mingzong have long regarded him as a madman, they regard the rebellion of King De and the Marquis of Zhenbei as the way of heaven, and King De completed the replacement of a dynasty in three days, the emperor is called Yingzong, and the country is called Jianchang, that is, the first emperor. ā€

Qi Linyu lightly recounted the fate of a generation of emperors. Shen Qihuan was breathless when he heard "Zhenbei Hou", of course he knew that the first emperor was called Yingzong, but Zhenbei Hou was the maternal grandfather of Changru and his mother, and he was his great-grandfather.

But she had never heard of the Marquis of Zhenbei helping Emperor Xian seize the throne in anyone's mouth.

Shen Quehuan paused, and Qi Linyu really said: "The Marquis of Zhenbei is the most trusted person of the first emperor, and the later things have a lot to do with him, listen to me tell you slowly." ā€

Shen Qihuan's gaze swept back in the void, fell back on his face, and then nodded lightly.

Hearing this, Shen Qihuan had already guessed that the revenge of the Eastern Territory against the Dayue Imperial Power had just begun, and Mingzong's interest group would not end so easily.

The iron ore mined by a well-trained army over the course of twenty years could fill the entire city of Yan'an if it were all made into weapons.

So Shen Qihuan temporarily skipped the most curious "Zhenbei Hou" and asked where the iron mine went. Because as far as she knows, although Dayue is vast and rich, but because of Mingzong's war-loving nature, there are very few iron ores that can be mined within the border, and in this case, the Ministry of War has not issued training weapons to the military camps for more than ten years, and most of the weapons stored by the Yuchi Army are captured from the battlefield.

The iron ore mined by Mingzong at least did not pass through the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War.

Qi Linyu had to praise her acumen: "You guessed right, when Yingzong was purging the remnants of Mingzong's interest group, he found that Mingzong had been mining the eastern mineral deposits for the past 20 years, and the manpower, financial resources, and material resources used were all self-contained, and they were all separate from the imperial court. ā€

Shen Qihuan frowned deeply, Yingzong's seizure of the throne was an emergency, under such a sudden disaster, Mingzong's interest group did not show any clues, what kind of strong and rigorous organization should this be?

"What about Mingzong's cronies and the Praetorian Guards, don't they know anything either?" asked Shen Quehuan.

"On the day of Mingzong's death, twenty of the palace guards were missing, and after many investigations, some people had seen the same characteristics in these people. Qi Linyu nodded on the back of his right hand, "Here, there are black threads, coiled into the sleeve from the tip of the middle finger, like a thin black snake." ā€

Shen Quehuan's brain exploded, and he sat up straight like a small beast in danger, "Night Evil! is the sign of Night Evil." ā€

Qi Linyu obviously also knew the meaning of this sign, his expression was slightly solemn, as if something had disappeared in his pupils, and he said: "Yes, the night demon that once disturbed your Yuchi army is the real personal guard of Mingzong, and it is also the most important group of people in that mysterious interest group. ā€

But they appeared in the eastern realm, and as the enemy of Dayue as a native of the eastern realm, Shen Qihuan's heart was cold: "What happened in the middle?"

This kind of information that makes her jaw-dropping is a kind of omen, and the closer you get to the truth, the more suffocating it becomes, or if the last fig leaf is revealed, heaven and earth and the world will be subverted.

Qi Linyu didn't answer immediately, but gave her time to calm down, and he himself looked even more gloomy because he saw Shen Qihuan's unspeakable throbbing.

"In the second year of Jianchang, the Dayue Dynasty began to recuperate in the real recuperation, and Yingzong also put the thorough investigation of the remnants of the interest group of Mingzong after governing the country, but at this time, the eastern country ushered in an earthquake and natural disaster, and ten of the seventeen cities were affected, which can be described as 'every household hangs a white curtain, and every family puts a coffin', Salin's three sons all died tragically in the earthquake, and Salin's younger brother Tuge became the new king of the eastern realm, and half of the remaining mineral deposits in the eastern territory are also because of the earthquake, and the number that can be mined is very little. The king of the eastern realm attributed the cause of the natural disaster to Dayue's body, saying that what Mingzong did back then violated the way of heaven, and felt that it was Dayue's 20 years of mining that cut off the national capital of the eastern realm, angering the gods, and repeatedly invaded in the name of the pursuer to demand the iron ore that Dayue dug up from the eastern border that year. ā€
