Chapter 682: Top Ten Families!
"Otherwise, the knife of the Qin Empire will definitely come to cut us after cutting the Yan Empire, my Great Zhao can't fight with Qiang Qin, and if you lose, you will lose the area north of the Yellow River, win, and the national strength will be greatly damaged, and you will not be able to compete with other countries, and you will even be retaliated by the Han Empire!" Fang Ruhai said in a non-trivial tone, insisting on maintaining the relationship between Qin and Zhao with the strategy of marriage.
"Shame, great shame, I never thought that during my reign, Da Zhao would actually marry and sue for peace, I am a vain king, how can I meet the first emperor after a hundred years!" Zhao Dan was indignant and beat the imperial case, secretly hating himself for the shame of becoming the emperor of the Great Zhao Empire.
When Fang Ruhai saw Zhao Dan like this, he also felt ashamed in his heart, he made the king lose his prestige for the minister, the minister was guilty, he was derelict in his duties, and he was a minister in vain!
"Your Majesty, don't treat people at any time, this is not something to do!" Fang Ruhai bent down and replied.
The situation is also a kind of potential, we must follow the trend, otherwise we will be swept away by the potential!
Zhao Dan was silent, his eyebrows fell into contemplation, Fang Ruhai didn't say a word, quietly waiting for Zhao Dan to pay attention, I don't know how long it took, Zhao Dan got up from the dragon chair, walked to the bookshelf in the corner, and took out a thick book from it, and there were four big black characters written on the cover of the book:
γZhao Family Treeγ
After getting the [Zhao Family Tree], Zhao Dan walked back to the dragon chair, put the [Zhao Family Tree] on the imperial case, and then flipped through it with a serious face, and after reading and repeatedly confirming, Zhao Dan wrote a name on a blank piece of paper.
Zhao Ke!
"Zhao Ke?" Fang Ruhai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the name on the white paper.
Zhao Ke, female, age 22 years old, princess of the royal family, is Zhao Dan's half-sister, in addition to this identity, Zhao Ke is also the senior brother and sister of King Zhao Cheng, and also the apprentice of the hermit master, is still in the mountain, and has not yet descended the mountain.
"Wu can't fight the Qin Empire, so I can only rely on strategy, I hope I, the imperial sister, will not let me down!" Zhao Dan said softly with an expressionless face.
As soon as Fang Ruhai heard this, he knew that Zhao Dan was going to start playing obscene methods!
Although the obscene methods are despised and the price is lost, for the sake of the empire, let it lose face and identity, anyway, it is better than the decline of the empire.
Next, Zhao Dan ordered the Ministry of Rites to send an envoy to Xianyang, and then drafted a holy decree and sent someone to a hidden mountain....
......
The next day, the hour!
Dayan Empire, Jiyuan County, Nanzhi County, County Ya, Public Court!
In the public hall, there were more than 20 big men wearing chain mail, these were all generals under Wu Yang, from the general to the captain, all of them came, they gathered here, and did not wait for Wu Yang's order, but took the initiative to come.
The reason for taking the initiative is very simple, and it is also very frightening, that is, the Qin army has gone south, less than 100 miles away from Nanzhi County, and with the speed of the Qin army's march, it will not take more than three days to reach the city of Nanzhi.
There was such a big thing, the whole army was impatient, and as the leader, Jihou Wu Yang did not pass down the order to deal with the military for a long time, and the generals were in a hurry, so they took the initiative to come to the public court and asked to see Wu Yang, so there was a scene of the generals gathering in the court.
The first county order belonging to Jihou Wu Yang was empty, and the seat of the master belonging to the military advisor Li Zheng was also empty, and these captains and generals did not know that their marquis and military advisors had already run away with the family overnight.
I have to say that Wu Yang and Li Zheng's secrecy work is very well done, and the night has passed, and no one has noticed the abnormality.
"I'm all frowning, why haven't the Hou Ye and the military advisor come yet!"
"If the Qin army attacks overnight, I'm afraid that we will be able to see the Qin army approaching the city tomorrow, but under such a danger, Hou Ye and the military advisor will not come out to preside over the overall situation, which is really anxious!"
"Don't worry, Master Hou and the military advisor will come out, we are waiting!"
"Wait, it's not good, Hou Ye and the military advisor are discussing countermeasures!"
Everyone was frowning and talking worriedly, which made the public court extremely noisy, and the more noisy, the more anxious the people became.
An hour passed.
Jihou Wu Yang and military advisor Li Zheng have not yet come!
"Damn, what the hell is going on!" A more irritable general couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth!
"Come on, go to Jihou Mansion and Li Mansion to have a look, and hurry up and invite Hou Ye and the military advisor to come to discuss matters!" Another general couldn't help but ask his subordinates to go to Jihou Mansion and Li Mansion to find people, maybe some people would ask, why didn't they send people to find people before?
Because Wu Yang issued a ban in order to show his dignity, no one was allowed to look for him without a summons, and the violators were severely punished.
This ban is really a cheat!
After about a few incense sticks, the people who went to Jihou Mansion and Li Mansion to find people came back, and the people who were looking for them told them that Jihou Mansion and Li Mansion were empty, and there was no one in them.
What's more, these two actually ran away overnight!
What should I do if Wu Yang and Li Zheng ran away? What else can I do, run away, don't run and wait for death!
Soon, those captains and generals left the inner hall with scolding, returned home one after another, packed up their bags and left Nanzhi City, and those soldiers learned of this, and immediately fled from the barracks without saying a word, and in less than a morning, Nanzhi City was quiet, and no longer saw anyone with knives, guns and clubs.
Most of the soldiers and generals under Wu Yang are bandits and ruffians, and after these people leave, they can not make the old, weak, women and children in the city happy, just like that, the 30,000 army of Wu Yang disintegrated in an instant, and destroyed himself, with the passage of time, this matter quickly spread all over the surrounding places.
"What's the situation?"
"What the hell is going on? Can anyone explain the explanation"
"What else can happen, when I learned that the Qin army was going south to attack Nanzhi, the big devil Wu Yang Li Zheng ran away overnight in fright, and when it was reported the next day that Wu Yang Li was running away, his 30,000 army was disbanded in an instant, and they all ran away!"
"Qin Jun is really a heavenly soldier, just relying on momentum, he can scare Wu Yang half to death!"
"The Qin army is mighty!"
"You are a Yan person, what are you shouting about the mighty Qin army!"
"I'm sorry, Lao Tzu just shouted that the Qin army is mighty, what can you do?"
"We don't have enough food and clothing now, it's all done by those court magnates, if they treat us as human beings, how can we fall into today's situation, let's not talk about it, I'm going home to prepare 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 in my stomach once!"
"Qin Jun hasn't come yet, the old man can't wait!"
"Hold on, old man!"
"When the Qin army comes, we will be saved, and we won't have to worry about eating when the time comes!"
"Look at the Qin people, look at us, alas, there is really no harm if there is no comparison, this mediocre court should perish!"
"Eight hundred years since the founding of Dayan, eight hundred years, don't you untouchables have a little bit of salvation in your hearts? Are you just watching the 800-year-old Great Yan River and Mountains fall? β
"Who is this man?"
"It seems to be the former county commander!"
"It turned out to be him, the old man said it, how could someone say such a thing at this time!"
"Dog official, you listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't have the heart to save the Great Yan in his heart, and he even wishes that the Great Yan will be destroyed, because this Great Yan has become extremely mediocre and brutal, and it is precisely because of this Great Yan that we have become the unclothed and hungry we are now!"
"That's right, Dayan has become the ghost he is now, and you have an inseparable relationship with the dog official, if it weren't for your inaction and inability, you wouldn't have become what you are now, we need Daqin to rule, folks, fathers and elders, do you say it!"
"Yes!!"
"You... You pariahs, damn it, you damn it! β
"One pariah at a time, damn it, brothers, I can't help it, him!"
"Don't, it's illegal to kill someone, and he is still a court official, although he has died in name, but nominally, he is still a local parent official!"
"What are you afraid of, Yan Fa has already died, kill him, take his head and go to the Qin army to ask for a reward!"
"!"
"Hit!"
"Don't, the official is wrong!"
The people of Nanzhi County and the surrounding places learned that Wu Yang ran away, and they happily walked out of their homes to congratulate each other, causing a strong sensation, the Qin army is the savior in the eyes of the Yan people, and every Yan people look forward to the Qin army to arrive in their city one day sooner.
The people of their own country regard other countries as saviors, what a sorrow and what a shame, but the magnates of the Yan court don't care about shame and sorrow at all, they only care about the immediate interests, thinking about how to get the maximum benefits from the Qin army.
It is precisely because of this that no ordinary Yan people miss the Great Yan Dynasty, and no one wants to save the 800-year-old Great Yan Dynasty!
.....
Thirty miles north of Nanzhi County, on a relatively wide official road, there is a long black dragon that sees the head but does not see the tail, this black long dragon is composed of countless black armor armies, and countless black 'Qin' character flags flutter in the wind on the official road, announcing to the heavens and the earth that this is the Great Qin army!
In the middle of the army, under the Nine Dragons Banner, Ying Chang is riding a cloud war 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, which can be pleasing to the eye!
After looking at the scenery for a while, Ying Chang turned his head to Bai Qi next to him and asked, "How many walks have you walked?" β
Bai Qi took out the small map he carried with him, rode on his war horse to look at it, and then turned his head to look at Ying Chang and replied: "Our army has traveled more than 270 miles day and night, and it is less than 30 miles away from Nanzhi, so we should be able to arrive before dark!" β
Since taking Huaibei City, Ying Chang has led a large army south to attack Nanzhi County, and he has been walking for three days, and he has walked more than 270 miles day and night in three days, which is a good speed.
"Report!"
Trample... Trample...
At this time, an urgent report and a sound of horses' hooves came from the front, Yingchang waited for the generals to raise their eyes, only to see Aluk Ge galloping with ten cavalry of the Prairie Legion, seeing Aluk Ge leading people over, Yingchang immediately drove the war horse out of the army column, came to the edge of the official road, and then stood on the edge and waited for Aluk Go.
Bai Qi and Du Changjing also walked out of the army column with Ying Chang, and stood behind Ying Chang together, the reason why the three of them broke away from the army column was to prevent hindering the march of the army, they were in the middle of the army column, and as soon as they stopped, the army behind them had to stop.
When Aluk Ge Zongma came to the distance of three steps before Yingchang, he immediately jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee with a respectful expression to make a report: "Your Majesty, the last general is ordered to return to report on his work!" β
At the beginning of the capture of the Great Wall of Ningta, Aluk Ge took the initiative to ask Ying, responsible for sending an envoy to help Wu Yang and persuade him to surrender, and now, he has finally returned.
Yingchang, who was riding on a cloud warhorse, looked down condescendingly at Aluk Go, who was kneeling on one knee, and said, "Get up and speak!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Aluk Ge thanked him, then got up from the ground, bowed slightly, and replied: "Your Majesty, when the last general led people to Nanzhi County, there was no soldier in Nanzhi County, and I heard the people in the city say that when Wu Yang learned that my Great Qin Wangshi was going south, he was so frightened that he immediately fled overnight, and his army also fell apart in an instant, and all of them dispersed!" β
"This Wu Yang is a little smart!" A smile appeared at the corner of Ying Chang's mouth, he was not surprised by Wu Yang's escape, he had expected it, but he didn't expect that Wu Yang, a bandit, was quite smart and chose the best path!
Wu Yang is a notorious devil, he does all the evil things, whether he surrenders or not, Yingchang will find a reason to kill him, and then take his head to win the hearts of the people, so his only way to survive is to run, and the farther he runs, the better.
Ying Chang had expected him to run away before, but he was not particularly sure that he would run away, after all, if he wanted this kind of choice, most of them would choose to surrender in exchange for glory and wealth, but Wu Yang did not choose to surrender, but chose his only good way to continue to survive.
It is precisely because of this that Ying Chang feels that Wu Yang, a bandit, is quite smart.
"After the collapse of Wu Yang, the enemies of my Great Qin in Jiyuan County are only the Ning King of Jiaocheng and the Yuanhou Liushen in the southern region of Jiyuan County, and the Yuanhou Liushen is also like Wu Yang and the like, it is not enough to take it to heart, only this Ning King can pose a little threat to my Qin army!" Du Changjing said indifferently.
"Let's talk as we go!" After Yingchang finished speaking, he drove the clouds forward and marched with the army, but he did not return to the original queue, and was still on the edge of the official road, and Bai Qi, Du Changjing, and Aluke Ge followed closely.
Ying Chang said unhurriedly as he walked: "Dayan has ten top families, namely the Deng family, the Ji family, the Song family, the Dong family, the Huang family, the Ning family, the Zhao family, the Tian family, the Fang family, and the Liu family; Among the top ten families, Zhao, Tian, and Fang are the last ones, Huang, Liu, and Ji are the middle class, and Deng, Song, Ning, and Dong are the top ones! β
"The Zhao family and the Tian family, you must be more familiar with each other, that's right, Concubine Jia Tian Yue 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, most of them rely on the national prestige of the Great Qin Empire, so that many families in Dayan dare not provoke the Great Qin royal family, causing the two families to soar into the sky, and their influence spread to the whole country of Dayan!"
"It's just that I don't know if my Great Qin Fa Yan has had an impact on the Zhao Tian family, it's just that, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the Fang family, you may be very unfamiliar with the Fang family, but the former commander of the Bailan Great Wall, Fang Kong, you know, Fang Kong is the original head of the Fang family!"
"The Fang family is similar to my Daqin family and the Yang family, they are all Jiangmen families, they have been in the army for generations, and their ancestors have made great contributions for generations, and they are the best Jiangmen families in Dayan, but from now on, the Fang family will decline, unless the Fang family can produce a good general to serve Daqin, otherwise, the Fang family will never be able to return to the peak of the past!"
"Let's talk about the three families of Huang, Liu, and Ji, the Huang family and the Ji family are official families, with a solid background, and there have been at least five or more prime ministers in their ancestors, and seventy percent of the men in their clan are officials of all sizes, the head of the Huang family and the head of the Ji family, and they are the current officials and soldiers!"
"Hao Zhouhou He Jie, who seized Haozhou County, is the son-in-law of the Ji family, as well as the Liu family, you should be familiar with the Liu family, Yanhuai Beihou Liu Zhendong is the head of the Liu family, and like the Fang family, he is one of the top Jiangmen families in the Dayan Empire, and his future fate is probably like the Fang family!"
"There are also Deng, Song, Ning, Dong four families, these four can be noble for the top ten families of the upper class, its heritage should not be underestimated, Deng Huazhen, the head of the Deng family, is the first rank of the prime minister, the head of the Song family, Song Qianguanju is the second grade of the Ministry of Rites, Song Zheng, the cloud king of Mengcheng, the county town of Mengjun, is the person of the Song family; The head of the Ning family, Ning Le, is the second grade of the criminal department, and Ning De, the king of Ning, who is in Jiaocheng, is a member of the Ning family; Dong Xing, the head of the Dong family, is the official residence of the second grade of the Ministry of Industry, and Dong Li, the king of Mingguang County, is the person of the Dong family! β
Ying Chang may be in a happy mood, and he can't help but talk about the top ten families of Dayan, and tell all the general situation of the top ten families of Dayan.
"Listening to what Your Majesty said, the civil strife in the Yan Empire was single-handedly promoted by those families, and among the five kings, the family accounted for three!" Aluk Ge, who was following Ying Chang, showed a sudden realization, as if he had understood the civil strife in the Yan Empire.
"There is a saying among the people, called the family of iron, the dynasty of flowing water; The dynasty has fallen a hundred times, and I have not seen the family fall once, and even the fall of many dynasties is dominated by the family, and the birth of a dynasty is also dominated by a family! β
"For example, the current Yan royal family, eight hundred years ago, the Yan Empire had not yet been established, and it was the Great Liang Empire that ruled here at that time, and the Yan royal family at that time was just a family, and it was the Yan family that finally destroyed the Liang Dynasty, and the Yan family then established the Yan Dynasty and turned into a royal family!"
"The prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the family, the death of the country, the prosperity of the family, and even one step forward, don't look at the family of Dayan who is engaged in infighting, in fact, no matter which one wins, they can make a profit, they are just competing for the royal position now!" 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?" Aluk Goe asked curiously.
He, a Hun man, didn't know what a family was at all, so he was particularly curious about how the family had endured 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 very simple, the major families have a solid background and many talents, Zheng Long needs the family to help him govern the world, otherwise he will not be on the throne for a long time!" Yingchang opened his mouth and replied.
Yan people are bitter and cold, people who can read and write, nine times out of ten are people of the family, Zheng Long wants to govern the world, and he can't let those illiterate soldiers to govern the mountains and rivers, so in the final analysis, he can't do without the family, and the family can make profits from it, even if he doesn't get any benefits, he doesn't lose anything, it's just a new master.
"In this way, it is difficult for this family to be destroyed!" Aluk Goe couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that since the vitality of this family was so stubborn, the fall of the dynasty would not be able to cause substantial damage to it, and it would be possible to go to the next level.
"Haha!" Du Changjing smiled, "These families who cover the sky with one hand will soon decline!" β
Du Changjing has a point!
Although Du Changjing did not say it explicitly, it was clear to the discerning people that the tenth-class peasant system, the free school system, and the compulsory reserve camp system implemented by the Great Qin Empire were all fatal blows to the family, and there was no family at all, which could become strong under these policies, let alone cover the sky with one hand and play with the world.
When Great Qin destroys Great Yan, Great Yan's official family will instantly weaken and become the last family, because there are enough talents in Great Qin, which can completely replace these family officials, and what is even more gratifying is that the talents of Great Qin are not loyal to any family, but only loyal to the Great Qin Empire, and they are all a group of excellent talents who focus on the interests of the empire!
"General Du, Ah Qi, General Gu Yuan, believe it or not, in a few days, Ning Wang Ningde, who occupies Jiaocheng, will personally talk to me about the conditions!" Ying Chang turned his head to look at the three people behind him with a smile, and then turned back to look at the road.
Now Zheng Long has surrendered to Qin, and the Qin army has leveled Liu Zhendong and Wu Yang with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, which has made the complex situation clear, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Yan Empire will become the second Jin Empire.
With such a clear situation, those families will not be invisible, they will definitely not stubbornly resist, and they will use the power in their hands to exchange benefits for the Qin Empire.
"Naturally believe, just Your Majesty, will you agree to his conditions?" Du Changjing looked at Yingchang in front of him and smiled.
"That's up to him on what he wants, haha!"
"Rack!"
Ying Chang laughed loudly, and couldn't help but start galloping on his horse, seeing Ying Chang galloping on his horse, Aluke Ge, Bai Qi, and Du Changjing also accelerated, and followed Ying Chang to gallop together.
Three hours in a flash, Shen time!
At this time, the sun was already setting towards the West Mountain, and the sun at this time was especially like the current Dayan Empire, which was setting on the West Mountain.
PS: "The author corrects it, it was written in the previous article: 'Yunwang Song is occupying Yunjun', this is the author's mistake, Yunjun is within the Jin Empire, and there is no Yunjun in the Yan Empire, so the author changed Yunjun to Mengcheng, the county city of Mengjun, and the article sent out before, the author has also revised it, and it has been changed to the current Mengcheng County, I hope you book friends remember! β
