"Du Bian, why are you arresting me?" said Mrs. Jiang Shi, the governor of Guangxi.

Du Yan squatted down in front of the woman.

"Fourth aunt. Du Yan said indifferently: "We haven't seen each other for more than a year." ”

"I am the wife of the Du family, and I am the daughter of the Marquis of Puyang. Jiang said in a cold voice: "You let me go immediately, with your identity, you have no right to arrest me at all." ”

Du Bian nodded and said, "Yes, according to the law, I, the commander of the border town, have no right to arrest you." But the rules ...... It has been destroyed by you. According to the rules, do you have the right to kill Governor Zhang Yangming? Do you have the right to cut off King Gui's legs? Do you have the right to force King Gui to death?"

"What is there to say about becoming a king or defeating a king?" said Du Jiang's wife Jiang in a cold voice.

Du Bian said: "Now you are talking to me about becoming a king and defeating a Kou? Now that I am the king, you are a Kou." ”

Du Jiang's wife, Jiang Shi, sneered: "You thing sitting in a well and watching the sky, you don't know how powerful the Fang family is. Your victory is completely temporary, and when our army lands in the Daning Empire, you will die without a place to bury. ”

Du Bian smiled and said: "Fourth aunt, when has it been, you have become a prisoner of the lower ranks, and you are still hard-mouthed?

When Du Jiang's wife Jiang heard Du Bian's words, she raised her chin instead.

Her personality has always been very strong, and the Marquis of Puyang Mansion has long since declined, so his marriage to the Fu Du family is in a sense Gao Pan, but he has always wanted to make a picture of marrying, and he has always put on the posture of Miss Marquis Mansion in the Du family, and he has never been willing to weaken his momentum.

"Du Yan, I know what you mean?" Du Jiang's wife, Jiang Shi, sneered: "In the past, you were a waste in the Du family, bullied by everyone, and looked down on by everyone. Now you feel that you are developed, so you want to show off in front of the Du family. You want to see me wagging my tail and begging for mercy, and you want me to beg you to slap you. I'm telling you, stop dreaming. Even now, in my eyes, you are still the same as many years ago, you are still the waste of that heavenly gelding, and you are not even as good as a dog in the Du family. ”

Du Bian smiled helplessly: "It's really not, the reason why I arrested you is just to test Du Jiang's reaction, and then test the true intention of the Fang family." But Aunt Four, if you insist on provoking me, and your body is cheap, then I can only fulfill you. ”

Then, Du Bianhan said in a cold voice: "Jiang, you are involved in the smuggling of imperial strategic materials, and you have empty shares in many fleets. Some maritime merchants are unwilling, and you use your power to forcibly go to prison and occupy other people's fleets, but this is the case?"

Mrs. Du Jiang sneered and didn't bother to answer at all.

"Bring it. Du Bian brought over a thick stack of files.

In this, it is clearly written how much the Jiang clan has a stake in that maritime merchant and how many strategic materials that the empire has embargoed.

Not only that, but there are also files on the Jiang family accepting bribes and occupying other people's fleets.

All the human and material evidence is conclusive.

Seeing that Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, she thought that Du Bian's arrest of him was just a prestige, but she didn't expect that all the procedures were in place, and the evidence was very complete.

"Fourth aunt, your crime is big or small. Du Chang said: "If it's bigger, it's hanging." To put it mildly, it is to become an official prostitute. ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Jiang's wife Jiang's face changed.

"Pick one. Du Chang said: "Fourth aunt, will you become an official prostitute, or will you be hanged?"

"You dare to ...... You dare to ......," Jiang screamed.

Du Bian waved his hand and said, "Send Mrs. Du on the road." ”

Suddenly, a warrior of the Mirror Division stepped forward, and the rope was wrapped around Jiang's neck, and then tightened violently.

"Ah...... Ah......h

Jiang continued to struggle, his face flushed, and he let out a roar of pain.

On the way here, she kept telling herself that she should never weaken her momentum in front of Du Bian, never let him be proud, and she would not be afraid even if she died.

However, it turned out that when death came, she still trembled with fear, and all her bravery and momentum vanished.

Jiang looked at Du Bian and pleaded desperately, waving his hand desperately, indicating that he had something to say.

Du Bian raised his hand.

The samurai opened his mouth, and Jiang opened his mouth and breathed desperately.

This feeling of escaping death is too precious.

"Du Bian, don't, don't kill me......" Jiang said tremblingly.

Du said: "Choose, whether to be hanged or become an official prostitute." ”

Jiang Shi trembled and said, "I, I don't want to die." ”

She really can't say the words of becoming an official prostitute, after all, she is the lady of the dignified Marquis's Mansion, after all, she is the wife of the Du family.

Du Bian said: "Make it clear, are you willing to be hanged, or become an official prostitute? ”

Jiang Shi was ashamed to death, and trembled: "I...... I would like to become an official prostitute. ”

After saying this, her whole person completely collapsed, completely trampling on her bottom line of shame.

Du Bian smiled and said: "Look, you are not so proud at all, you have no backbone at all, in the face of death, you would rather become a prostitute." ”

Jiang longed for a crack in the ground so she could get in.

"No need. Du Bian said: "I'm not in the capital here, and there is no such thing as an official prostitute, so let's continue on the road." ”

Then, once again, the warrior put the rope around Jiang's neck and squeezed it sharply.

This time, it was never let go again.

Let the Jiang family struggle again, let the Jiang family dance again, and did not let go.

Du Bian originally thought that the Jiang clan would definitely show extremely resentful eyes, because Du Bian not only killed her, but also completely trampled on her dignity before killing her.

However, no, Jiang's gaze at Du Yan was full of pleading and fear.

Until death!

In the face of death, she didn't even have the courage to hate.

......

This scene was always looked at by Zhang Wenzhao, the Marquis of the Sword Pavilion next to him.

His gaze at Du Bian was very complicated, he wanted to scold, he wanted to be arrogant, and he wanted to be brave and fearless.

But in the end, that's what he said.

"Du Bian, if you let me go back, I promise to double the silver back. Zhang Wenzhao said: "And in the future, I will cooperate with your military affairs." ”

Between the words, it is still full of reserve.

Du Bian ignored him.

Zhang Wenzhao's face trembled and said, "Du Bian, it won't do you any good if I die, my army will all fall into the hands of the Fang family." If you're smart enough, you should beat me with thirty sticks and let me go, so you have a face. ”

Du Bian still ignored him.

Zhang Wenzhao sighed and said: "Du Bian, if you want to see kneeling in front of you begging for mercy and admitting your mistakes, it is impossible to cry bitterly." After all, I am a veteran of the empire, and Song Que, the Duke of Zhennan, calls me my brother. ”

Du Bian didn't speak anymore, and turned around and walked away.

Several warriors pulled Zhang Wenzhao towards a place.

"Where to go?"

"Where are we going?"

One of the samurai said, "Don't shout, it's coming, it's coming." ”

Zhang Wenzhao began to struggle, desperately using force.

His martial arts are high enough that he has reached the quasi-grandmaster.

But it didn't work, he had been poisoned by the concubine, his body was sore, and he had no strength at all.

Soon to the destination.

Zhang Wenzhao saw a corpse, this was Du Bian's messenger, after being castrated by him, he died before he returned to Baise City.

In front of this corpse, there was a guillotine.

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me, I'm a marquis of the empire, you can't kill me without the will of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"You go and tell Lord Du Bian, don't kill me, don't kill me! Kill me, he will be tantamount to rebellion. ”

"Lord Du Bian, don't kill me, don't kill me. ”

"Lord Du Bian, I know it's wrong, I'm wrong! I will only look forward to you in the future, and my 80,000 troops will completely obey your command......"

"I was wrong, I was wrong......"

Zhang Wenzhao, the Marquis of the Sword Pavilion, howled and struggled desperately, but his head was still pressed on the guillotine.

"Whoa......

Hand up and knife down.

Zhang Wenzhao's head rolled down, and his eyes were still full of fear and a desire to survive before he died.

Really dead and blind.

"Two fake hardliners, they pretend to be not afraid of death, and even they themselves think they are not afraid of death. Du Chang said: "In comparison, Li Ruhai can be regarded as a hero." ”

......

Capital.

Former cabinet ministers Fang Zhuo and Du Hui looked at the wide canal.

"The will of the young monarch has come. Fang Zhuo said.

Du Hui said: "Scolding us?"

Fang Zhuo said: "I didn't scold, but I was disappointed." wrote eight words, the lotus root is broken, and it is constantly broken. ”

Du Hui knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the east: "The minister respectfully obeys the teachings of His Highness. ”

Fang Zhuo glanced at him, and then knelt down and kowtowed, "The minister respectfully obeys His Highness's teachings." ”

"Let's enter the palace!"

Then, the two attacked again to meet the emperor.

"I beg Your Majesty to make Nanjing the accompanying capital, and to set up six ministries and other institutions in Nanjing. Du Hui said: "In addition to the cabinet, some parts of the capital, Nanjing has also built a set of teams. ”

Fang Zhuo, the former head of the cabinet, said: "The old minister heard that the Jurchen Empire is about to capture the royal capital of the dynasty (Xian). When the kingdom falls, the king surrenders immediately. At that time, the Jurchen Empire will do its best to attack the north of our Daning Empire, take precautions, and ask the old ministers to form Nanjing Six Ministries and other imperial court functional institutions. ”

Du Hui said: "From now on, the grain transported by water and the grain transported by sea will be half a lot." 25 million taels of silver were also escorted to Beijing for a penny. ”

In fact, it doesn't matter much if the emperor is allowed or not.

Whether the emperor allows it or not, this matter has become a fact.

Du Hui did not have the authority to make this suggestion, this was still the will of the young monarch.

This means that the Fang system will completely withdraw from the north of the Daning Empire and go all out to manage the provinces of Jiangnan, Fujian, and Guangdong.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Quasi!"

Fang Zhuo bowed and said, "The ministers are retiring, Your Majesty take care." ”

Du Hui didn't speak, just gave up his hand, and then turned around and left completely.

The prince's hands tremble in his sleeves!

Everything that happened just now was very peaceful, but it meant something terrible.

That's when the empire is truly and completely divided.

This is equivalent to the time when the Ming Dynasty has not yet fallen, and someone has already established the Southern Ming Dynasty in Nanjing.

The emperor sighed and said, "Prince, do you understand?"

The prince said: "I understand, they completely withdrew from the north, that is, ...... I want to make people wash the entire north in blood, and I want to use the Jurchen Empire to completely wipe out my Daning Empire, and then King Yan will be rightfully enthroned as emperor in Nanjing. ”

The emperor said: "Look, see the reaction of Duke Yuan Teng." If Duke Yuan Teng does not attack to meet me within half a month, it means that the young monarch on the other side has not yet made up his mind. If Yuan Teng comes to see me, it will represent...... In order to achieve this goal, they even had to give up Yuan Teng completely. ”

The prince's face twitched.

This young monarch of the United Kingdom of the East is really resolute.

It's ready to completely solve the Daning Empire!

It's just that he made this determination, which means that the whole of North China will completely become a slaughterhouse.

The emperor sighed and said, "Get ready, Du Bian is going to enter Beijing." ”

......

Du changed his troops decisively, and then retreated even more decisively.

Without a single day's delay, all of his 70,000 troops were withdrawn from Sichuan.

After that, 20,000 troops were stationed in Guiyang Mansion.

The army of 50,000 retreated to Zhenxi City (formerly the Great Yan King City).

However, Li Zhan's 20,000-strong army did not completely withdraw from Hunan, but was stationed in Yongzhou Mansion on the border between Guangxi and Hunan.

Li Zhan received an urgent letter.

He immediately recruited two generals under his command, Li Daoyi, who also had the rank of general, and the other was the guerrilla general Li Wei, who was a descendant of Du Bian, and he was a nail in Li Zhan's army.

"Uncle, General Li Wei, the lord summoned me back. Li Zhan said: "The army will be handed over to you for the time being, remember one thing, continue to mingle with the ordinary people of the entire Hunan, and continue to suppress the gentry and big households." ”

"Yes. "Li Daoyi and Li Weidao.

"Young master, what's wrong?" Li Dao said angrily.

Li Zhan said: "Uncle, don't call me young master." ”

Then, Li Zhan said: "If my expectations are correct, there should be a real super battle soon, or even a battle of national fortunes." I just hope that the battlefield will not spread to our southwest, so that the lord has enough time to develop. ”

......

Du Chang's important military meeting was held in Lianzhou Mansion.

All the high-level executives under Du Bian's command, none of them are there.

"Fang Department retreated cleanly this time. ”

"Water transportation has resumed, and sea freight has also resumed. ”

"Twenty-five million taels of silver and countless grains were all escorted into Beijing. ”

"Fang was all the forces and completely withdrew from the north, Fang Zhuo and Du Hui took King Yan to Nanjing and began to build the Nanjing Six Ministries and other imperial court functional institutions. ”

"The Chao (Xian) Kingdom has perished, the Chao (Xian) monarch surrendered and was still hanged, and the Jurchen Empire set up a new Chao (Xian) monarch, who was only six years old. ”

"I just received a secret letter from the flying crow in the capital, Duke Yuan Teng went into Beijing to meet His Majesty without sleep, and when he left, he kowtowed to blood. ”

"The Zungar Khanate in the northwest has invaded Northern Tartar, and both countries claim to be the successors of the Golden Empire, and they want to restore the glory of the Golden Empire. ”

"These are not accidents, these messages come together and only prove one thing!"

"There will be a real super Armageddon breaking out, and this is the battle of the national fortunes of the Daning Empire. ”

Du Yan looked at Li Zhan and said, "According to your estimates, what level will the scale of this war be?"

Li Zhan said: "The Jurchen Empire has conquered the Chao (Xian) Kingdom, conquered the Wadan Khanate, the soldiers are strong, if it is a war to destroy the country, the army dispatched may exceed 300,000!"

The Jurchen Empire of this world was much more powerful than the Later Jin in another history of the same period.

Therefore, the scale of this Armageddon will also far exceed the Battle of Salhu in the history of another earth.

"The army of the Daning Empire in Liaodong is also about 300,000, plus the army of Xuanhua Town and Tongzhou Town, it will reach nearly 500,000. Li Zhan said: "This time, the Fang family lifted the blockade of the capital, and even gave a lot of 25 million taels of silver to the emperor. This means that the Fang Department let go and let the emperor prepare for this decisive battle. Duke Yuan Teng and Duke Xuanhua both urgently entered Beijing, indicating that the Fang family had completely abandoned the two largest warlords of the Daning Empire. Prepare for a thorough battle of national fortunes between the Daning Empire and the Jurchen Empire. ”

Du Bian said: "Will the Eastern United Kingdom take the opportunity to land in Liangguang and attack our southwestern town?"

Li Zhan was silent for a moment and said, "Xiaguan...... Don't dare to judge. ”

Du Bian looked at his father-in-law, Li Wenyu.

"Don't dare to judge. Li Wenyu said: "If the strategic level of our southwest in the Eastern United Kingdom is relatively high, then it is very likely that the Eastern United Kingdom will take the opportunity to land in Liangguang and attack our southwest." But if in their eyes, the Daning Empire had a higher strategic level, their army would most likely have gathered in Jiangnan, ready to clean up the mess in the north. ”

Du said: "Order all arsenals to make every effort to imitate the twelve-pounder gun." Let Sikong Ye's laboratory make every effort to imitate the gunpowder of the Holy Fire Sect. Collect grain from Hunan and Guangxi. Further expansion of the army and training of troops. Gather heavy troops to defend Lianzhou Mansion, Wuzhou Mansion, and Guilin Mansion. ”

"Yes!"

Du Yan looked at the county lord of Yuzhen and said: "Lord Yuzhen, you immediately go south and go to the Kingdom of Annan, and our two armies will immediately establish an exchange channel for materials, weapons, and intelligence." And tell King Li Chang and Duke Zhennan that they may face a ...... A big war on an unprecedented scale!"

"Yes!" said Yuzhen.

At this time, Du Bian had already faintly sensed that His Royal Highness the Young Monarch of the Eastern United Kingdom was playing an incomparably huge chess game.

To the north, the civil war between the two khanates of the Golden Family, to the Jurchen Empire, swept through the Chao (Xian) kingdom.

To the south, the Kingdom of Annam may face a final showdown.

There are even places that Du Chang did not see, such as the Kingdom of Siam has been completely put on the table and joined the United Kingdom of the East.

Once again, the Dongying Empire has broken out a terrible civil war under the manipulation of a certain force.

The southwest of Dubian may enter a quiet period.

Because, the young gentleman temporarily moved the chess pieces elsewhere.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Beijing to meet Your Majesty. Du Chang said: "When I was away, all government affairs were dominated by my father-in-law Li Wenyu, and the military power was ...... Li Zhan ranked first, followed by Fu Hongbing, and Ji Shi third. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhan's body trembled violently, and he almost couldn't believe his ears.

My body stiffened for a while, and I wanted to make a fist to relieve it, but I found that my hands were also a little stiff.

After a long while, Li Zhan said hoarsely: "Do your best, do your best!"

That afternoon!

Great Grandmaster-level powerhouse, Ancestor Li Lianting entered Lianzhou Mansion very unexpectedly.

"Your Majesty, as long as you are about to enter Beijing, you are not worried about your safety, and I am specially sent to protect you. "Ancestor Dao.

Du Bian knelt down on his knees and said, "The child meets his godfather......"

Li Wenyu, who was surprised, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Son, meet my godfather." ”

The old ancestor stubbornly blocked Du Bian and didn't let him kneel.

Then he sighed and said: "The vicissitudes of life have not changed so much, Count Du Bian, my son Wenyu's eunuch road has also been cut off by you." ”

The old ancestor is still very good at telling bad jokes.

......

Early the next morning, Du Chang rode the Mustang King, and under the protection of Li Lianting and hundreds of Da Nei masters, he left Lianzhou Mansion and headed north to the capital.

Originally, it would have been much faster to take a boat, but now the Daning Empire has lost its sea dominance.

Just left Lianzhou Mansion.

Li Lianting suddenly shouted, "Which great grandmaster, please show up?"

Not far away, Ji Lanting's voice said: "There's no need to meet, Du Chang and I are tired of each other." The situation is complicated, and I protect him to go north. Your Excellency Du Chang, the situation is more complicated than you imagined, please be sure to make a trip to the Northern Stygian Sword Sect as soon as possible. ”

Then, Du Chang galloped all the way, sleepless, and went north to Beijing.

After entering Beijing, he did not take any rest, and Du Chang entered the palace.

With the lifting of the blockade of the capital by the Fang system and the restoration of Cao Yun, the capital has regained its vitality.

However, it is not prosperous, and it is particularly quiet.

"Earl Du Bian, the town governor in the west of the town, entered the capital to meet His Majesty, and all the idle people in front of him, etc., immediately get out of the way!"

"Flash!"

"Flash!"

An army of several thousand people immediately appeared on the front road of Du Bian, closed the road in advance, and cleared the street in advance.

Countless people stood on both sides of the street and pointed at Du Bian and said excitedly: "This is Lord Du Bian." ”

"Lord Du Chang is mighty!"

"Lord Du Bian lives a long life, Lord Du Bian, Marquis Wandai!"

Du Bian walked all the way towards the palace, and hundreds of people bowed and saluted on the side of the road.

This made him very stunned, when did he have such a good reputation in the capital? His reputation in the southwest is very stinky, and he can even stop crying in Fuzhou City.

Of course, he knew that under the emperor's propaganda, he had become the great savior of the capital. The reason why the enemy lifted the blockade this time and the millions of people in the capital were able to survive was entirely because of Du Bian's kindness and merit.

After entering the palace!

Du Bian was outside the study, knelt down and kowtowed: "Minister Du Bian, meet His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

There was a pause in the study, almost a slight pause in breathing.

Then a quick step rushed out.

Then the next second, he was helped up.

After only a year of not seeing him, the emperor was really much older, completely skinny and skinny, and his hair was not only completely white, but also fell out a lot.

He held Du Bian's arm, looked at Du Bian's face for a long time, and said for a while: "Child, I haven't seen you for a year, you ...... It's as if you've grown up too much. ”

Du Chang's eyes were hot, and he was speechless for a while.

Then the Emperor smiled and said, "You must be very strange, why did I not promote you to your knighthood in my holy decree, nor did I canonize you as the governor of the border town?"

The emperor said: "Yunzhu, the proposed decree, canonize Du to become the Marquis of Zhenxi, the governor of the town in the west of the town." ”

"It is proposed to remove the governor of Gaoting and Liangguang from his post and canonize him as the governor of Fujian and Guangdong. ”

"It is proposed to build a new Huguang Governor's Palace, and Cabinet Minister Wang Jianshu will take over the post of Governor! ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Bian was completely stunned.

Not only is it not only the governor of the border town, but also the military and political power?

It was only the military affairs of the three provinces before, and now it is necessary to add the government affairs of Huguang?

This...... This is probably the most powerful feudal official in the entire Daning Empire.

Then, the emperor's expression became a little strange and said: "Du Bian, I heard Ning Zongwu say that you are not a real eunuch, it is possible to return to a normal man, and at this time there are already a few percent of a man's yang energy, but is this?"

Du was stunned.

This time, the emperor ...... Could it be that you are going to give a real marriage?!

......
