Chapter 404: Snatching the Heir-1

Recently, everyone in the Zhongrong Shirong clan has been in danger, all because of the Black Nightmare Army, which has been fully supported by the Yanhuang Kingdom, and the pressure on them is too great

The Yanhuang Kingdom, which I originally thought was just a small country in Er, was terrible, and I don't know how their border, which is only the size of Wantuo, swallowed so many people like a giant beast, and I don't know how such a small place produced such a huge number of various products.

Raising tens of millions of troops with the power of one country is a reckless act of force, even when the situation of Zhongrong County is the best, it does not dare to be as extravagant as Yanhuang Kingdom.

Just like before the war, Zhongrong County "claimed" to have 240 million soldiers and horses, and each prefecture had tens of millions of subordinates, but in fact, how many of them could really be counted as soldiers?

The so-called "soldiers" are not drawn to a group of farmers, and the sticks are considered soldiers, according to the thousand-year-old military system, only the combat power above the product is at least six months off-duty drills, and the armor and weapons are complete to be regarded as soldiers, and the following can only be regarded as soldiers.

With Zhongrong County in a remote corner, after thousands of years of heritage, among the "240 million soldiers and horses" that are "so-called", there can be one-tenth of the soldiers, which is already the result of the business strategy of Zhongrong Wang Xiongtao in the past dynasties.

According to the rough statistical method of "ten people out of one animal, ten animals out of one car, ten people out of one car, ten people out of one car, ten people out of one jail", out of the 24 million soldiers, only 2.4 million people can reach the number of soldiers, only 240,000 people can reach the number of soldiers, only 240,000 people can be killed, and only 24,000 people can be found in prisons.

And those who have reached the level of too strong, the half-step hedgehog realm, are only afraid of less, and it is good to have more than 2,000 people, which can be seen from the Zhongrong Twelfth Army, most of the generals are only in the realm of less than the small prison JT realm

Those who are beyond the ordinary body forgery, and the generals at all levels who have entered the cultivation level, the four grades of "Leopard, Tiger, Bear, and Zong" add up to only more than 200 people, which one is not the existence of the Rong family as the killer weapon at the bottom of the box, it can almost be regarded as the top high-end combat power in this great wilderness world.

Moreover, with the low productivity of the great wilderness, more than 20 million soldiers are not as heavy as imagined, holding swords and swords, armed to the teeth, and in terms of equipment supply, they are also armed in strict accordance with the level of "cloth, leather, and armor".

That is to say, ordinary soldiers can wear a set of "cloth armor" made of thick cloth at most, which is good, and the soldiers can also wrap a thin layer of hard skin on the cloth armor, so that the soldiers can wear thick leather, and the generals are qualified to wear armor.

Iron armor with strong defense?

You have to be a commander of the army with status to be qualified to wear it

But look at the people丨Black Nightmare Army丨, to be precise, look at the Yanhuang Army, although there are not many high-end combat power above the Jipin丨, but the soldiers below, even those who are in charge of logistics are generally 丨羍品丨, 丨彘品丨, I don't know how to raise them, all of them are fat, strong, and round.

Look at the equipment and armor of the Yanhuang Army, leather armor, what is that?

People don't have that thing, let alone the soldiers of the main battle, even the servants who have just gathered up in Zhongrong City and served as a heavy logistics, they directly issued a full set of black iron full-body armor like iron cans

As long as you have the strength to run, you can choose from the "light armor" of one tantalum five, the "medium armor" of three tantalum and the "heavy armor" of four tantalum five, not to mention the various weapons that are very Yanhuang characteristics, not only excellent quality, but also extremely exquisite in shape.

Good quality and beautiful shape are almost the standard characteristics of Yanhuang products.

Although it is said that no matter how gorgeous the equipment is on the battlefield, it is useless if its own strength is not good, but considering the problem of image and momentum, under the premise of passing the quality, the exquisiteness of the shape is very necessary.

Think about it, the two armies are facing each other, on one side they are dressed like Brother Sharp, and the weapons in their hands are the same as burning sticks, while on the other side they are sonorous in iron armor and cold in steel blades.

Hit a hairy? At a glance, he was handsome to death

Compared with the Black Nightmare Army, the soldiers of the Rong tribe in the former Zhongrong Army became farmers, and they had no face to go out during this time, how can they compare with others? The kitchen soldiers who burn the fire are wearing Xuantie armor, the shovels used for cooking and eating are all Xuantie shovels, and the food bowls of the soldiers when they eat are all Xuantie basins......

In contrast, although there are many soldiers under the command of the Rong clan, there are a few who can wear armor on their bodies and can hold iron blades in their hands?

Nimana is a black iron

Although it is a low-grade Xuantie, it is not as good as the heavenly treasures such as star gold, but it is also a luxury product with a thousand gold, why are they willing to use it to make shovels and pots?

A set of Xuantie armor on the men who cook and raise horses is worth tens of millions of gold, which is enough for them, the Rong family, to raise a huge army of personal guards, not to mention the soldiers below, that is, the generals of the Rong clan, and they are not so extravagant that they can make a pair of full-body armor with Xuantie, and they can make a heart guard is enough for them.

Not to mention envy, jealousy, hatred or anything, when the people of the Rong clan watched the soldiers of the Black Nightmare Army wandering around the streets, they couldn't wait to rob it

However, no one dared to move

Not to mention that the Black Nightmare Army, which has become a climate, is eyeing outside Zhongrong City, and the fate of the Shirong clan has been tied to the Zhongrong royal family, once they dare to have a rebellious heart, not to mention that they will not be tolerated by the world, and they will not be tolerated within their Shirong system alone.

After all, since ancient times, the Shirong and the two clans have been dependent on the royal family to survive, and naturally have their own set of survival rules, and once they violate this set of rules, they will be rejected by the entire race.

The so-called Rong clan does not refer to a certain family, or the Rong clan in a certain place, they are distributed in the entire wilderness, just like the terms "workers, merchants, peasants" and so on, and they are a huge professional group that is handed down by force.

Once a certain Rong family is loyal to a certain royal family, before the "master" disappears, he will not only be rejected by the world but also rejected by the entire Rong tribe.

The strange thing is that if the inheritance of the original owner is severed and the Rong people are restored to their freedom, they no longer have to abide by this so-called rule of loyalty, and even immediately gain the trust of the new master who exterminated the inheritance of the old master, and the general is still a general in the new dynasty, which is the inheritance of the Rong people.

This is also the reason why the Zhongrong royal family has left the Sun family, even if it has fallen into a great crisis now, there is no Rong family who turned his back on him, of course, "no betrayal" and "inaction" are two different things, and the Rong family has their own way of survival in order to ensure the continuation of the clan.

But now, the value of the Rong clan seems to be gradually becoming weaker, and the appearance of the Black Nightmare Army supported by the Yanhuang Kingdom has made their existence seem to be irrelevant to the Zhuan Sun clan.

Not only the Rong people, but also the Shi clan, who were responsible for managing the land for the royal family, also suffered the same predicament as the Rong people because of a new management group from the Yanhuang Kingdom.

丨Yanhuang Foreign-related Secretary Group丨, this kind of "scholar" system from 丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨, is gradually entering the power class of the Middle Palace, and the huge and bloated group of scholars and officials in the system, this management team that directly obeys the orders of the female concubine has replaced the role of the scholar official system in a short period of time, and the current female ministers will not need them at all These civil officials who are waiting to be sold.

Originally, the civil system of Zhongrong County was so huge, almost the entire Zhongrong County was full of their people, once the scholars "striked", it can be said that the entire Zhonggong ruling system will be completely paralyzed.

But now, the fifty Yanhuang secretaries who directly serve the female prime minister can easily do the work of the ten or twenty levels, thousands of officials, and tens of thousands of officials in Zhongrong County.

No one knew how they did it, nor did they run around, nor did they deal with paperwork, but they were able to handle the government affairs in a huge Zhongrong city in an orderly manner, and it seemed that it was easy, and it didn't take much effort.

These fifty secretaries of Yanhuang are not even officials, and they do not have any rights themselves, they just convey the government affairs that need to be handled and instructed to the female prime minister, and hand them over to the female prime minister to decide.

For example, due to the increase in hunger in Zhongrong City, the city guards asked the officials to open a warehouse to release grain in case of civil unrest.

If it is handed over to the original system of scholars and officials, starting from the lowest level of the granary to report to the upper of the barn, through the review of the more than ten or twenty level officials, the document requesting the release of grain can be sent to the desk of the middle palace, and then after the middle palace approves the opening of the warehouse, another level of instructions will be given to the next level, and the most rear-level documents will be sent back to the hands of the warehouse officials, and the procedures will not be completed for a month or two.

And now?

The storekeeper at the bottom asked for instructions through a magic device called the "spirit ring": If the hungry people in the city are increasing, can they release grain to help the people?

Secretary Yan Huang received instructions and asked the woman: Do you want to let it go?

Woman: Yes

Secretary Yan Huang said to the warehouse official: The female minister agreed, let it go

If the middle palace is busy, it will be about the time of a cup of tea, if it is not busy, this head just asked, and the middle palace will have an instruction in no more than ten breaths.

I heard that this is the beginning of the use of this government affairs processing system in Zhongrong City, to be placed in 丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨, I heard that people have an exclusive term called "second back", the vast majority of government affairs do not need to ask for instructions at all, directly in accordance with the regulations that have been perfected to "a few cents on a thread", and the following people have their own examples to follow.

This is how can the tens of thousands of Shi clan officials in Zhongrong City, who are already idle and are about to grow green hair, not panic? If they don't find something to do, they really won't have anything to do

But who is to blame?

The first emperor died, and all the candidates took the heirs, and they all wanted to follow the dragon's merits, and they even ignored the external enemies and internal troubles, and were anxious to hug the thick thighs of the candidates of each family.

It is precisely because of their inaction to retain their own combat strength at the time of national disaster that they almost brought the military and political affairs of Zhongrong County to a standstill.

Now, the old man in the Zhuansun clan never mentioned the inheritance of the throne of the county king, and handed over the power of the monarch to the female prime minister, although there is a lesson from the assassination of the previous king, and this also has the meaning of protecting the new king, but it is mainly because the old man in the clan is too disappointed in the counties.

Rather than handing over the county to these ruined sons now, it is better to suppress the new king's accession to the throne, and let the female prime minister, a woman who is extremely strong in both ability and means, take charge of it, and get through the current predicament first.

And the attitude of the female minister is also very clear, the candidates for the county, whoever can calm the external and internal troubles of Zhongrong County, who is the one who takes over the throne of the monarch and is the king

In order to show fairness, the middle palace will not support the public election of the county to have a single money and a grain, whether you are going to the rich families in the city to solicit sponsorship and investment, or to rob the house, everyone will compete for the position according to their ability

The two families of the candidate county and the Shirong family behind them both know very well that the female prime minister is doing this in order to force out the power behind them, so that they can use the strength they have been hiding and pinching, and do their best to suppress the independent government in the county.

But it's easy to say, but it's so hard to do

The support of the two Shirong families for the selection of candidates is also limited, and it is impossible for them to suppress all the vitality in the family for the sake of the chosen county, otherwise even if Conglong succeeds, what is the use of the family's vitality?

So this matter has been delayed again and again, and it has been delayed, and the woman is ruthless enough, anyway, this Zhongrong County is your grandson's, you are not in a hurry, I am an outsider in a hurry?

Anyway, the Guannan army has been temporarily repulsed, and the Dingjun Mountain丨 is guarded by the Black Nightmare Army JF on the front line, so I just have to do my duty well.

As a result, in the past three months, there has been no progress in foreign affairs, but the internal affairs in Zhongrong City, which have been taken care of by the female prime minister in an orderly manner, and under the large-scale rectification, the county town, which was originally panicked because of the war and was full of displaced people, not only did not have any civil unrest, but prospered a lot.

Even the eight institutes of the city guard, which are still nominally under the jurisdiction of the middle palace, have caught a lot of spies and spies under the spur of the female prime minister, needless to say, they are naturally sent by the nine princes who stand on their own and the power of the county to take advantage of the rising situation.

Seeing that the female prime minister has settled the county town, and the newly built Black Nightmare Army has become the climate again, I heard that the female minister summoned the two commanders of the Black Nightmare Army to Biyun Middle Palace to discuss matters, and the qualified counties and the clans behind them all panicked, and rushed to the Middle Palace, intending to find out some useful news.

Concubine Ji has also had a headache recently, although she has taken on the errand of Zhongrong Liguo, but after all, she is not really here to protect the family and defend the country for the Sun family, in addition to taking care of government affairs on the surface, the "shadows" under her are also frequently haunting the Zhongrong mansions to listen to the news.

The chess game of this "world of great controversy" has changed from the initial "dark game" to the current "bright game", not only her "Shadow Moon Sect" "robber" companions surfaced and started a battle of robbery, but the "sub-head" members of "Bright Moon Sect" have also begun to enter the world to go through the tribulation, this is not counting the major sects in the outside world that took advantage of the situation.

All sides have their own powers, almost stirring this great wilderness into a pot of gruel, she is too far away to whip up, but just in this Zhongrong County and a county, there are no less than a dozen robbers and sub-members who have surfaced, and many sects in Zhongrong County are outside the force, and the demons are also dancing out to compete for power.

Fortunately, she grabbed ahead of others, first occupied the momentum of the middle palace, and then took such a good chess hand as Yanhuang Guo, faintly suppressing others, within the scope of Zhongrong, she can be regarded as the most powerful "robber".

But what gave her a headache was that the nine county sons of the next generation of the Zhuan Sun clan (originally ten, the one who ascended the throne after the assassination of the Emperor Mishi was killed was dropped before he ascended the throne. ), is really too angry, and there is no assassination at all Sun Mishi, who is half a point of majesty.

They didn't say that they tried their best to persuade the two clans and the clan lords to help them win the heir, but they hit her with the idea, some of them were courteous to her, some of them secretly promised, and some of them even coerced and coerced, which made her angry and funny

Now Biyun Palace has become her territory, although Zhi Lu Dao secretly does not know how many guards of the Yuan Sun clan are watching in Lu Dao, but Fei Ji doesn't care at all, she has no intention of seeking the position of the county king of the Zhen Sun clan, as long as she is still planning for the Zhen Sun clan for a day, the Zhen Sun clan will not touch her at all, so naturally she does not have to worry about someone being unfavorable to her.

And her identity as a "robber" is only known to those elders of the Zhuan Sun clan, and this identity can also make them settle down a little and fully support her in taking charge of Zhongrong County.

"Female Prime Minister, the two generals of the Black Nightmare Army have arrived"

was busy with the seemingly unfinished government affairs, a female official respectfully came in to report, the concubine sighed slightly, stood up and greeted the person in person, others may not know, but she knows that among the two, one must be the mysterious lord of Yanhuang.

At present, Yanhuang Kingdom has become the biggest help she can rely on, so she naturally can't be lazy, but before she and Yanhuang have seen the ceremony, she heard the female official hurriedly come to report, and the generals and ministers of the Shirong and the nine counties came to ask about the government.

Sighing, Concubine Ji beckoned Yan Huang and the others into the palace, and at the same time asked people to invite those guys with their own ghosts to come, which could be regarded as a temporary court meeting.
