Chapter 325: The State of Wei
After a night of romance, Bei Ying Lei led the 30,000 Lei family army to embark on the journey again, because he had become a primordial god and knew Qiu Yan's body well, and was sure that she had been conceived, but whether she was a man or a woman depended on the will of heaven.
Since becoming the woman of the Northern Thunder, Qiu Yan has become very different, the whole person is radiant, and she deliberately sees off the Northern Thunder as Queen Yan.
"Yecheng will be handed over to you, if you encounter any trouble, you will find the Northern Underworld family, if the minister rebels, you will open the killing ring, now the military power of the Yan State is in my hands, no need to look at the minister's face!"
Since the civil strife was quelled, the prestige of the Northern Shadow Thunder in the Yan Kingdom was unmatched, and even the King of Yan could not compare.
"You have to implement the new policy of the Hu Han family throughout the country, and if anyone opposes it, you will send troops to suppress it!"
"After you have a big belly, let Father-in-law Bai arrange someone to pretend to be King Yan to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
After the Northern Thunder arranged the affairs of the Yan Kingdom one by one, he went on the road with peace of mind and led the 30,000 Lei family troops to the land of Yanbei.
Qiu Yan waited until the figure of Bei Ying Lei completely disappeared at the end of the road before slowly returning to the palace, she was now proud, with spring in the corners of her mouth, and she touched her stomach with a happy face.
After returning to the palace, Qiu Yan, according to the instructions of Bei Yinglei, pretended to be King Yan to listen to the government.
At this time, no one in the Yan Kingdom dared to oppose Qiu Yan, and the ministers stood in the hall in fear, waiting for Qiu Yan's orders.
"Behachi, a few guards, openly rebelled, the crime is unforgivable, and it will be executed!" According to Qiu Yan's instructions, Bai Gonggong informed the ministers of the fate of Behaqi and several people, and no one objected.
Behaqi and several people betrayed Yan Guo at the most dangerous time in Yecheng, and the evidence is there, and no one can disagree.
"The three clans of the family!" Bai Gonggong's addition made the ministers change their faces, but collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a big crime to punish the nine clans, and now Qiu Yan only exterminated his three clans, which is already an extrajudicial favor.
"Listed as ministers, Behaqi and several people are in vain as Yan Chen, but they don't think about serving the country, they fill their own pockets on weekdays, they are corrupt and take bribes, and the five people's properties have a total of ten years in the treasury, which is an unforgivable crime!" Qiu Yan finally spoke, but all the ministers knelt down in fright.
"Your Majesty is angry!"
"I am here today to announce that I will strictly rectify the rule of officials, and the secret camp guards will supervise corruption throughout the country, but if it is found that officials are corrupt, fifty taels will lose their officials, one hundred taels will be exonerated from crimes, five hundred taels will be beheaded, more than one thousand taels will be punished for three clans, and more than 10,000 taels will be exterminated for nine clans!"
What Qiu Yan said was already harsh, and as soon as someone among the ministers wanted to stop it, he was held down by the people next to him and pouted towards both sides of the hall.
Both sides of the hall are full of soldiers of the Lei family's army, but if the minister makes any changes, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive the hall.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yan announced a series of reforms, most of which were copied by Bei Minglei from Zhang Juzheng in the later Ming Dynasty, with the aim of improving the enthusiasm of officials.
When the minister kneeling on the ground heard a series of changes in Qiu Yan's mouth, he understood that he might not have a good life in the future, not only could he not be corrupt and take bribes, but he must also devote himself to serving the country and the people, otherwise his head would move.
The emperor controls the military power, and the minister no longer has the right to speak, so he can only be a man with his tail between his legs.
Yan's internal affairs gradually got on the right track under the arrangement of the Northern Thunder, and the turmoil in the east, west, and south gradually subsided, leaving only the threat of the Yanbei Tuoba clan uneliminated.
As a nomadic people, the Tuoba clan, like the Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty, always attacked the border passes of the Central Plains, and the patriarch of this generation of Tuoba clan, Tuoba Gui, was even more eloquent.
Tuoba clan was originally a branch of the Xianbei clan, the last years of the Jin Dynasty Wuhu chaos, the Xianbei clan into the Central Plains, Tuoba clan occupies a large area east of Shandong, the founding of the country for the "generation".
The first emperor of the country, Tuoba Key, was defeated by the former Qin Fujian, and was destroyed by it, and the country was destroyed, and Tuoba Gui, the son of Tuoba Key, escaped with his life because he was young.
Fu Jian was in the "Battle of Weishui", the million-strong army was wiped out, and Tuoba Jue took advantage of the situation to rise up and cooperate with Murong Chui, the father of King Yan, to restore the country.
Murong Chui first built the Yan Kingdom, and then Tuoba Jue rebuilt the Dai Kingdom with the help of the Yan Kingdom.
At the beginning, the two countries began to advance and retreat together and compete for world hegemony together, but with the growing national strength of the two countries, friction inevitably arose.
The contradiction between the two countries soon escalated into a war, the two male lords in the battle of Shenhepo, as a result of the defeat of Murong Chui, the Yan State has been in a slump since then, after the Yan King Murong Xi succeeded to the throne, he wanted to recover the power of the rivers and lakes and fight against the Tuoba clan, but unfortunately he could not take care of the beginning and the end, and the national strength became weaker and weaker.
On the other hand, Tuoba Jue made great efforts to govern the country, and the national strength was thriving, seizing a large area of land in the north, building the banner of the Son of Heaven, changing the beginning of the Yuan Emperor, and establishing the "Wei State".
In the same year, Tuoba Jue began to send troops to the Yan Kingdom, encroaching on the foundation of the Yan Kingdom little by little.
Wei and Yan have been fighting for many years, Yan has been in a weak position, can only be passive defense, this time the general of Dingbei led the army to Qinwang, took away a large number of soldiers, so that Yanbei was empty, Tuoba Jue saw the opportunity, raised 30,000 troops to attack Yan.
At the same time, Tuoba Jue also sensed the civil strife in Yan and was unable to send troops to stop him, so he hurriedly increased his army and wanted to conquer Yan in one fell swoop.
100,000 Wei troops trekked through mountains and rivers, went straight to Yecheng, and met with the 30,000 Lei family army of the Northern Thunder in Jinyang City, Bingzhou.
100,000 Wei troops besieged Jinyang, and Murong Nong, the king of the west of Yan State, who was in charge of the land of Bingzhou, fulfilled his duties and strictly guarded Jinyang for three days, but unfortunately he was defeated by conspiracy and trickery, and his generals rebelled against Yan, forcing Murong Nong to lead the people east, and Tuoba Jue sent his number one general Changsun Fei to chase after him.
Murong Nong, the king of the west, guarded the state all the year round, this time Yan civil strife, as the emperor's uncle, he did not help each other, sat on the wall and watched, but after the invasion of foreign enemies, he immediately dispatched troops to personally resist foreign enemies, but unfortunately he was still defeated by Tuoba Jue, and fell into the fate of fleeing.
Murong Nong, with his family and more than a dozen soldiers, fled all the way east, hoping to escape to Zhongshan City in Bingzhou.
It's a pity that because of his family, Murong Nong didn't escape quickly, and he was still caught up by Gongsun Fei, who was fast.
"Where is the King of the West!" When Gongsun Fei saw Murong Nong, he shouted happily, and the saber in his hand slashed directly at Murong Nong's Liuyang Leader.
Murong Nong's men stood behind him, desperately facing Gongsun Fei's big sword.
brush
Gongsun Fei's big knife turned into a match, and instantly cut more than ten soldiers in half, and the remaining momentum was unabated in front of Murong Nong.
A shadow suddenly hugged Gongsun Fei's knife, "King, go quickly!" ”
Murong Nong's concubine sacrificed herself, but she also wanted to keep Murong Nong.
It's a pity that this little concubine is dedicated to Murong Nong, but he didn't look back, and left his family and ran away, which can be called hard-hearted.
Gongsun Fei naturally would not show mercy to his subordinates for the sake of a woman, and when the knife fell, the concubine was hacked to death.
Gongsun Fei threw the saber and headed towards Murong Nong's back.
Hearing the sound of the breaking wind behind him, Murong Nong closed his eyes in despair, and at this time, a flash of light flew by, hitting the horse chopping knife, and Murong Nong died.
Then flashes of light appeared one after another, like lightning appeared among Gongsun Fei's men.
Yes......
When the screams reached Gongsun Fei's ears, he saw what the flash was.
"Arrows!"
A quick arrow flew from the east, and one arrow could result in three people, and when the ten flashes were over, Gongsun Fei's men were all lying on the ground.
