Chapter 406: Zheng Gong's Death

However, as time passed, the Zheng family and his party walked farther and farther, gradually moving away from the capital of Jin, but the group of people never made a difficulty.

Zheng Gong was a little puzzled by this, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Didn't I guess wrong?" ”

"But it doesn't matter, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship."

"When they get to Nanliang, no matter what they do, they won't be afraid!"

The country of Nanliang, Zheng Gong has to admit that it is the richest country among the countries of the Quartet, even including the Great Chu of the Son of Heaven!

Because it occupies one of the most fertile lands on the entire continent!

In addition, the monarch of Liang often attached great importance to commerce and trade, and constantly traded with neighboring countries.

So Nanliang's earning power is simply terrifying!

Its annual tax revenue can even be worth five to ten years of Western Qin!

It stands to reason that they are so rich, and their military power should be extremely strong!

Because you have a lot of money, you can equip your army with the most powerful weapons and armor!

Just ask an army of tens of thousands of people with a plate armor and refined swords and guns, are you afraid?

With such a configuration, looking at the entire continent, Nanliang can afford it!

However, the opposite is true!

The military strength of Nanliang is the worst among the countries of the Quartet!

In fact, on this continent, in addition to the Han and Yuan people, there is a third race!

Barbarians!

They live in the 100,000 mountains in the south of Nanliang, and their habits are savage, and they are in groups with wild beasts!

Although he is strong and can understand the language of beasts, he does not produce and lives by plundering all day long!

A hundred years ago, the barbarians never walked out of the 100,000 mountains, and the Southern Liang never walked into the 100,000 mountains, and the two sides were safe.

In order to survive, the barbarians can only plunder and kill each other!

But a hundred years later, the barbarians walked out of the 100,000 mountains and made formal contact with Nanliang.

Then, Nanliang's nightmare began!

However, tens of thousands of barbarians can suppress a country so much that they can't raise their heads!

What a shame is this?

In the end, the king of Southern Liang had no choice but to sign a treaty with the barbarian leaders, and would give them enough food and silver every year in exchange for peace!

When such a humiliating treaty was just signed, the Liang people were still gritting their teeth and being ashamed.

Soon, however, they accepted it!

For they found that the amount of food and silver they gave to the barbarians every year was much less than the destruction they caused!

Moreover, they were able to trade with the barbarians, exchanging fine silk and porcelain for various animal resources.

For example, the furs, bones, teeth, etc. of fierce beasts, and even some precious herbs and mineral veins from the 100,000 mountains!

Overall, not only did I not lose money, but I made a lot of money!

This made Nanliang Guojun smile.

As everyone knows, it is this kind of behavior that makes Nanliang completely lose the soul of the country!

Even tens of thousands of barbarians can't beat it, let alone other powerful countries?

So from that moment on, Nanliang became the lowest-status existence among the countries of the Four Directions!

Don't look at them, the Great Jin is only one of the three kingdoms in the east, and they are far inferior to the Southern Liang in terms of area and population, but their military strength is enough to crush the Southern Liang!

This is also the reason why Zheng Gong thinks that their Zheng family can make a comeback in Nanliang Dongshan!

It's a bloodless country! With the means of their Zheng family, it is not difficult to make a fortune again!

But if you go to Great Chu, or even a country of tigers and wolves like Western Qin, then it will be difficult to survive let alone make a comeback.

Especially in Western Qin, all the people are soldiers!

It doesn't matter where you come from or what you're here for, as long as you become a Qin person, you have to serve in the military!

Defy? Die!

Moreover, the Qin people have a strict system of twenty-rank military merit titles, which is also a symbol of the status of the Qin people.

If you don't have military merits, you are rich and rival the country, and you are also the most inferior pariahs in Western Qin, if you want to turn over, there is only one way: join the army!

Advocating force is the creed of the entire country of Western Qin!

Therefore, there was no shortage of martial artists and fierce generals in Western Qin, and there was even a traditional custom of military generals fighting civil officials during the war.

The folk customs are really too strong, and they don't match their Zheng family's family style, so they can't go a little.

And Da Chu, hehe, although the martial wind is not as strong as that of Western Qin, don't forget, they have just offended Da Chu Zaifu Fan Ju, and now in the past, it is tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.

The only ones left are Nan Chen and Nan Liang, compared to these two countries, Zheng Gong still thinks that Nan Liang is easier to mix.

And he has already made arrangements in Nanliang, and if he passes, he will definitely be able to make a comeback at the fastest speed!

Zheng Gong thought so, but suddenly, his nose moved slightly, and he smelled a fragrance.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised, and even wondered if he had smelled the wrong place, where did the aroma come from in such a wild countryside.

So I moved my nose slightly again, and smelled it carefully, but the fragrance was even stronger!

"Stop! Everyone, stop! Zheng Gong realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted.

"Smell and see where the aroma is coming from." Zheng Gong narrowed his eyes, and there was a murderous aura hidden in his eyes.

"Home... The head of the family seems to be the eldest son! The maid who was in charge of taking care of Zheng Longtu said tremblingly.

When Zheng Gong heard this, he chuckled in his heart and immediately stepped forward.

Sure enough, the closer you get to Zheng Longtu, the stronger the fragrance becomes!

"Damn it!"

"Do it!" Zheng bowed and shouted, and the housekeeper immediately understood, made a gesture, and suddenly the group of clan soldiers who followed behind were all killed by people either sneak attack or siege.

"Get out of here!" Zheng Gong shouted again, turned over on his horse, and wanted to leave.

However, what awaited him was a fierce arrow!

An arrow accurately hit the eye of the war horse under Zheng Gong's crotch, and the war horse suddenly felt pain, and while roaring, he jumped high and threw Zheng Gong down directly.

"Head of the house!" Fortunately, the housekeeper was quick and grabbed Zheng Bow, otherwise this old bone would have completely fallen apart!

"Enemy attack, get ready for battle!" Zheng Gong didn't have time to stand firm, and shouted loudly again.

And with his shout, an army suddenly rushed out of the front, about a thousand or so, and surrounded them.

The two leaders seem to be wearing masks, and they can't really see their specific faces.

Seeing this, Zheng Gong couldn't help but take a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Two heroes, what do you want?" As long as the little old man can take it out, just ask! Just please leave me alone. ”

"The head of the Zheng family laughed, we are not the insatiable people, so naturally we will not make any excessive demands."

"All we want is the life of the old master!" Li Changkong snorted coldly, and then waved his hand.

Li Jibei, who was beside him, suddenly realized, and stabbed out with a shot, directly stabbing Zheng Gong through.

When he was dying, Zheng Gong's eyes couldn't help but briefly flash a ray of clarity.

He made a mistake, the other party used means to deliberately leave a strange fragrance on his unsuccessful son, as an index, and chased after him, and the eight achievements were rushing to destroy their Zheng family!

Fang Cai should not come up and talk, but should command the clansmen and flee directly.

Although the probability of escaping is slim, there is at least some hope.

Immediately, the light in his eyes completely dissipated, and the whole person fell back weakly.

Zheng bowed, the head of the Zheng family, died.
