Chapter 196: Controlling People's Hearts

At the same time, the government posted a notice, saying that it had found the mastermind of the man-made plague incident, and caught the criminal suspect, and tomorrow at noon, Lord Taishou personally set up a platform at the gate of the city for public interrogation, and gave an explanation to the people.

The next day, just after dawn, the gates of the city were surrounded by water, and the people were crowded with hatred in their hearts, waiting here for the culprit who had lost their loved ones.

As soon as noon came, the officers and soldiers surrounded the interrogation platform, forming a big circle, and Taishou Tang Qin stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this officer knows that you have the same monstrous hatred in your hearts as this official, and you want to cut this group of inhumane animals with a thousand knives. But please calm down first and maintain order on the scene, so as not to cause casualties due to excessive emotions. ”

"Your Majesty's life was saved by His Majesty after going through hardships and dangers, we can't let her worry about us anymore, please believe in the government, believe in Your Majesty, and will definitely do it for you and give you a satisfactory explanation."

"For the time being, hold back the anger in your heart and don't cause turmoil. Now, the official has officially opened the trial to find out the cause of the matter for His Majesty. "After speaking; Tang Qin bowed respectfully to Rongcheng.

At the same time, the people also knelt down and bowed to Rongcheng. After that, everyone listened to the trial quietly, and there was no more confusion, and the ten people first knelt on the landlord and kowtowed to the people. said emotionally that it was because he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, and decided to explain the matter to the big man clearly, not asking for forgiveness, just hoping to make his conscience feel better.

Then, according to what Leng Yue said, he read out the book of their crimes, and also took out ironclad evidence to prove that this matter was instructed by the Empress of Mengyue Kingdom. In the end, under the murderous eyes of the people, they kept kowtowing to sin, kowtowing until their heads broke and blood flowed, and the whole person fainted before stopping.

Tang Qin stood on the stage and announced that ten people would be immediately beheaded, and for the extermination and atrocity of Mengchangsi, the empress of Mengyue Kingdom, she would play Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to seek justice for the people. The people hated Mengsusi, and they all vented it on the people of Mengyue Country, and soon the people of Mengyue Country were rejected by the people of all countries in the Lingchuan Continent.

At this time, the people of Mengyue Kingdom found the warning that all the Buddhas appeared at the same time in many temples in Mengdu, and it was rumored in the palace that all the concubines were suffering from strange diseases, and the imperial doctor could not find the reason in every possible way, and when people were asleep in the middle of the night, the concubines' bedrooms above the third grade in the palace were all struck by lightning and became a waste.

This one by one, is proving that God is punishing the empress of Mengyue Country, and she wants to die in Mengyue Country, and the people are also panicked, some flee, some rebel, and some occupy the mountain as kings, making the people miserable. Meng Changsi was even more exhausted, and the whole person seemed to be dozens of years old.

At the beginning of the second year of the second year, Leng Yue sent troops to Mengyue Country on the grounds that the people of Lucheng were seeking justice, leading an army of 400,000. Everywhere she went, many people in the city opened the city gates in advance to welcome her arrival.

Every time Leng Yue occupied a city, he ordered the soldiers not to harass the people, and also opened warehouses for the people to release grain, saying that it was because he apologized for the war he brought to the people.

And told them that as long as they are willing to become the people of the common country, she will definitely do her best to let them live a safe and worry-free life.

For her words, the people cheered and rushed to tell her, and many people in the city were already waiting for her to arrive soon before the cold moon army arrived.

In just half a year, Leng Yue occupied most of the Mengyue Country, forcing Meng Changsi to personally lead the troops to the battle, and at the same time asked Feng Lingguo for help, asking Feng Qingyan to send troops to reinforce herself, and promised that as long as she could take back the city occupied by Leng Yue, she would give it to her.

Feng Qingyan received a distress letter from Mengyue Kingdom, sent 300,000 troops, and decided to join Mengchangsi's 400,000 army in Baiyan City, where the two countries border, to jointly encircle and suppress Leng Yue in Hongcheng.

Leng Yue was not surprised when she received the news, this was a little slower than she expected, she thought that they would form an alliance when she sent troops in March, but she didn't expect them to extend the time. It also made her fully prepared.

Leng Yue ordered Fu Ke to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Hongcheng on the spot, only defending but not attacking, delaying time with them, and her banner was still hung on the city wall, making Chu Su disguise herself as her to confuse the other party. Every day, the soldiers and the common people shouted loudly in the city the roar of the soldiers during training, tied branches to the tails of horses, and let them run around the city, stirring up dust and creating the illusion that thousands of troops and horses were training.

The armies of Rumeng and Feng attacked Hongcheng, and when they could not hold it, they planted the most powerful explosives under the city, and after leaving the people responsible for detonating it, everyone evacuated. Leave an empty city for them. It was only after their army entered the city and let their guard down that it was set on fire. Although it can't hurt the fundamentals, it can also make them panic, and the military spirit is unstable, and they dare not act rashly again, so as to buy more time for their own side.

Let Fu Ingot bring 200,000 troops and secretly withdraw from Hongcheng. Directly attacking Yancheng, the imperial capital of Fengling Kingdom, wherever he went, the captured cities did not need to be defended, and the purpose was to directly attack Huanglong, mainly to force Feng Qingyan to withdraw his troops and return to help.

Leng Yue led 100,000 people to directly attack Mengdu, using the power of public opinion to make the people use for her. destroyed the lair of Mengchangsi and completely brought the Mengyue Kingdom to its demise.

Two months later, the two armies of Meng and Feng went all out to capture Hongcheng, and after a short rest, when they were preparing to attack the next city, Feng Qingyan received an urgent report from Fengling Country and the imperial capital Yancheng for eight hundred miles, requesting to return to the city for reinforcements, and Fu Ding led 200,000 troops to the city, and was attacking the city with all his might...

The army defending the city in the imperial capital was only 100,000, plus the patrol battalion, the Imperial Forest Army, and the Praetorian Guard, a total of 50,000, a total of 150,000. The soldiers and horses did not pay as many ingots, and the explosive weapons used to attack the city were all made by Leng Yue, which was extremely powerful and could not be resisted at all. The empress dowager Feng Feiyi could only lead the army to hold out, so that the city would not fall.

At the same time, Meng Changsi also received an urgent report from Mengdu, Leng Yue, with the help of the people, successfully captured the city, and is now attacking the palace with all his might. After seeing the letter, Meng Changsi vomited blood from his mouth and fainted directly.

This also made the two understand at the same time, they both fell for Leng Yue's plan, so they immediately withdrew their troops to help, after they withdrew their troops, Fu Ke followed Leng Yue's orders, chased and killed Meng Changsi, at this time, Meng Changsi's military spirit was in turmoil, and he had no intention of fighting at all, and Fu Cao's army formed a situation of fighting and fleeing.

After capturing the palace of Mengyue Kingdom, Leng Yue did not rush to kill them all, as long as the people who were sincere and sincere, they could also keep their original official positions, so they did not cause much chaos.

Leng Yue handed over the Dream Moon Kingdom to Dream Death, made her the current empress of the Dream Moon Country, and promised that under her rule, the Gongmi Kingdom would never send troops to her.

And Meng's attitude was resolute, and he rejected Leng Yue's proposal with righteous words, Leng Yue couldn't twist her, so he directly gave her the thirty cities around Mengdu, and took the original palace as the palace, and sealed the king of Nanping, becoming the prince with the broadest fief area and the most noble identity in the Gongmi country. Her descendants inherit her title and will never take it.

When Mengchangsi heard that Leng Yue had captured the palace and had included Mengyue Kingdom on the territory of Gongmi, he was angry and bloody, and he couldn't afford to fall ill, and finally died in Huixiang City.

There were also a large number of deserters in her army, and in the end there were less than 200,000 people left, and Huang Mu, the right-hand man of Mengchangsi, led her to hold on and return to her hometown.

After Leng Yue's army and Fu Cao's army converged, they besieged and returned to the countryside and exhorted Huang Mu to surrender the city, not to make unnecessary resistance, and let the people suffer from the war again. Huang Mu saw that the great power was gone and there was no way to recover it, so he made a request to Leng Yue, asking her to transport Mengchangsi's body back to Mengdu and bury her in the imperial tomb as the empress of Mengyue Kingdom. If she agrees, she will open the city and surrender herself.

In the end, Leng Yue agreed to her request, and after the city gate was opened, Huang Mu personally escorted Meng Changsi back, and issued a holy decree to Meng Changsi, asking her to hold a state funeral for Meng Changsi according to Huang Mu's request, and when the former Empress of Mengyue was buried, Huang Mu also raised his sword to kill himself. From then on, there was no more Empress of Mengyue Country in the world, and some were only the King of Dream City Pingnan.

After recovering and returning to the countryside, Leng Yue asked Fu Ke to leave the army of the former Mengyue Kingdom to reorganize, and he led an army of 200,000 to support Fu Ingot in the Fengling Kingdom, at the beginning of the third year, Leng Yue and Feng Qingyan fought for a full eleven months, the soldiers of the Fengling Kingdom were strong and strong, and the weapons of the Gongmi Country were advanced, and the two sides were evenly matched, and they also suffered heavy casualties, and finally Fu Ke brought 200,000 troops to support Leng Yue, and the form began to reverse.

After another month of fighting, Feng Qingyan handed Leng Yue a letter of request for peace, and presented ten cities, five million taels of silver, one million taels of gold, forty carts of silk and satin, thirty boxes of rare treasures, and one hundred beauties. In this way, it is used to show the sincerity of Feng Lingguo.

After receiving the credentials, Leng Yue agreed to her request and signed a truce with her. There can be no more war between the two sides for 10 years. And this two-year war really came to an end. And the country has officially become the largest country in the world.

After Leng Yue returned to China, he carried out unified planning and rectification of the newly acquired city, and adhered to the concept of governing the country according to law. New ideas were conveyed to the people, and a men's imperial examination was introduced, so that those with outstanding ability could also enter the court as officials, and those appointed as officials were only judged by ability, regardless of gender, regardless of birth. In particular, protective regulations have been introduced for men, which are non-discriminatory and based on mutual respect.

Gongmi cheered from top to bottom, although the ministers had a lot of complaints about men as officials, but Leng Yue's attitude was resolute, and no one dared to object. As a result, a large number of capable people have been added to the country. He has made great contributions to the country. It will make the national fortune more prosperous, and the people will truly live and work in peace and contentment.
