Chapter 199: The Black Hands Behind the Scenes Emerge and Enter Da Zhao

"Brother Ma, for my brother to guess that you intervened in the last Chang'an change, so I will carry it all alone, in the past few years, I have persuaded you more than once, why are you still like this? Mo Han involuntarily shouted out to Governor Chu Yun, his face was full of frustration, Ma Liang and Mo Han were comrades-in-arms who had supported each other since the time of the Iron and Blood Army, and now Ma Liang himself admitted that he had betrayed Chu Yun, Mo Han knew Chu Yun's methods, and Ma Liang would never be left behind.

"Brother Mo, I'm ashamed of you, I know that the second character that appears in your body, this is all the effect of the Divine Stone, and I have also conspired with him many times on how to mess up Chang'an, I know that you are an extremely smart person, even if you are unconscious, you will be aware of it, I even thought about getting rid of you completely, but in the end, Your Majesty came back too quickly, and I didn't have a chance to do it at all. I don't deserve to be your friend, one wrong step, one wrong step, I can't turn back, I beg Your Majesty to let my Ma family's descendants have a way to live, the minister's son has a list in his hand, I hope Your Majesty will spare my children and grandchildren in the old minister's meager merits. While speaking, a black poisonous blood flowed out of Ma Liang's mouth, and Mo Han cried bitterly when he saw this scene.

"It's not that easy. Chu Yun's true qi fluctuated, Mo Han was gently pushed away, Ma Liang's body actually floated in the air, and everyone was frightened when they saw this scene, this is simply a means that only gods and ghosts have.

Ma Liang spun in the air, Chu Yun's fingers continued to point, Ma Liang's pale face turned ruddy, and a mouthful of black pus and blood spit out, Ma Liang opened his eyes in shock. Chu Yun didn't give Ma Liang time to speak at all, he waved his hand, and Ma Liang was taken away by Hu Tiezhu, who was standing beside Chu Yun.

Seeing that the first assistant of the dynasty was taken away, everyone had relatives in their hearts, Ma Liang served as a cabinet minister for 17 years, and the first assistant also worked for several years, no one expected that Ma Liang would be a traitor to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, they didn't expect Chu Yun to have no old feelings at all, the Ma family directly raided the house, all the children of the Ma family were imprisoned, and some of Ma Liang's irons were all imprisoned pending investigation, and half of the Ma Mo party, which had been standing in the Ming Dynasty for nearly 20 years, collapsed, which made everyone a little sad. Chu Yun was now angry and wanted to tear Ma Liang apart, and the feeling of being betrayed by the closest people appeared again, which was simply painful to the bone marrow.

Chu Yun didn't care what they thought, now Daming is full of talents, and there are many talents selected through the imperial examination, and Daming lacks everything to be an official, Chu Yun appointed Wen Qiao as the first assistant, and Mo Han still served as the deputy first assistant, and this appointment shocked the ground.

The Ming Dynasty is now divided into four major factions on the surface and two small factions in the secret, the largest faction is the old ministers of the Iron and Blood Army, Ma Liang, Mo Han, Lu Zhong, Wang Jie, Zhou Yan and others are all people of this faction, they rely on the natural connection of the Iron and Blood Army back then, and they are also the earliest Yuan Cong faction who followed Chu Yun, spanning the military and politics, and have the greatest power, after all, Chu Yun can also be regarded as the leader of their faction. But with the fall of Ma Liang, although this party is still the strongest, it cannot suppress the other three factions alone, and the Ming court is more balanced.

In addition, the most powerful is You Ziyuan, Zheng Jie, You Ling and the party, they belong to the former Zhao people, but Liu Dongyong, Yang Sheng, Bo Bing, Zhao Hao and other generals, it is said that they also inherited the former Zhao faction, but these generals have their own faction, closely follow Chu Yun, and are considered to be Chu Yun's descendants, but they are not closely related to You Ziyuan and others, but they are naturally close, and they support each other in the court, becoming the second largest faction in the Ming Dynasty. You Ziyuan, You Ling, and Zheng Jie alone represent nearly half of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty opened the imperial examination, but in a short period of time they still occupy important positions, and the power of this party is also huge.

These two factions hold the position of the first assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet, and they have never been left behind for more than ten years, but this time the first assistant turned out to be Wen Qiao, does this represent the upper position of the third faction? Wen Qiao represents the faction of people from other countries, and they are all descendants of various countries like the second faction, but the second row has an innate advantage to follow Chu Yun at the earliest, so the former Zhao descended people into their own faction. So the people who surrendered from the Great Jin, the Great Zhao, the Great Liang and other forces formed a third faction, among which the Great Jin descended Wen Qiao and the Great Liang descended Xie Ai as the leader, with the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, more and more people joined the Ming Dynasty, such as Zhang Bin and others, they launched a strong impact on the first two factions and occupied more and more positions. Now that Wen Qiao has become the first assistant, this shows that Chu Yun also supports them. The emperor's favor has a great influence on these forces, so many people feel that Wen Qiao's coming to power is a precursor to a new round of changes in Chu Yun's adjustment of the court.

And the fourth faction is the Hu faction, although Chu Yun stipulates that if you enter China, you will be Chinese, all of them are the descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are all Huaxia clans, but in fact, the Han people are still different from other Hu people, so Lu Zhong (Huns), Liu Dongyong (Huns), Fu Hong (Di people), Yao Yizhong (Qiang Hu) These people have their own faction, but Lu Zhong is naturally inclined to the old ministers of the Iron Army, and he does not think that he is a Huns, but Liu Dongyong does not form a party and thinks that he is the descendant of Chu Yun, so this faction is the least powerful. However, with the rise of Fu Hong and Yao Yizhong, and both of them are too capable of giving birth, and their sons also have the ability, so they occupy a lot of power in the army, and they can be regarded as a faction of their own.

And the small faction Daming also has a hardcore royalist party and the imperial examination faction, the former only follows Chu Yun, and they do whatever Chu Yun asks them to do, the characteristic of this faction is that most of them are the main generals of various armies and rarely participate in court politics, but no one dares to underestimate them. The latter imperial examination faction is all civil officials, but they have not yet formed a big man who has entered the cabinet, so they have not yet grown up, and now they all choose to attach themselves to the first four factions, but as time goes by, they will definitely become the largest civil official faction in the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Yun asked Wen Qiao to serve as the first assistant, just to support the new forces and counter Mo Han's party and Youziyuan's party, and later Chu Yun was also ready to let the latter three factions come to power separately, which could be regarded as balancing the situation in the court for his descendants and leaving them with an iron-blooded country that restrained each other. Chu Yun was really heartbroken for the sake of future generations.

However, dealing with the imperial court now is only one of the important things, the biggest thing now is to digest the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom and prepare to invade the Great Zhao State, this time the two powerful countries of the Ming and the Great Yan deal with the Great Zhao, and even the Great Jin will intervene in order to enhance the strength, the Ming Dynasty will take advantage of this opportunity to annex a large piece of the territory of the Great Zhao, so that the strength of the Great Zhao can no longer compete with the Ming Dynasty. As for the destruction of Da Zhao, it is impossible now. Don't look at Da Ming wiped out Da Zhao's 400,000 army, but Da Zhao can still make up hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is not impossible to make up a million army in a hurry. The Great Zhao State occupies Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, parts of Jingzhou, and some areas of Youzhou, and its strength is still very strong, and its population is second only to Daming, and it is simply wishful thinking to swallow it in one bite. However, swallowing half of Youzhou, as well as swallowing part of Yuzhou, Daming is still fine. As for how much territory the Great Yan Kingdom can take, it depends on their own ability. Do you really think that Da Ming is so kind that he will give the richest Yizhou Bai in the world to the Great Yan Kingdom? Let them attack and try, and it is strange if they don't break the teeth of the Great Yan Kingdom. Is the reputation of Damingkeng's teammates for nothing?

As for the Great Jin Kingdom, hahaha, I really think that Da Ming has forgotten you turtle grandsons, and I still want to make Da Ming's advantage, you wait, and I will clean you up when I have free my hands.

In December of the seventeenth year of Shengwu, the Ming Dynasty united with the Great Yan Kingdom to enter the Great Zhao, and the Great Zhao sent people to condemn the Great Yan State for its treachery and not to die well, while sending people to resist. Da Zhao has been fighting for many years, and the number of veterans is as high as more than 100,000, although these people are old, but they have rich combat experience and are the best grassroots generals in the world. With the help of these people, the population of Zhao was increased to nearly 10 million, so Dazhao quickly expanded an army of two or three hundred thousand, plus the remaining two or three hundred thousand troops of Dazhao, the army of Dazhao soon made an army of no 100,000, and I have to say that the foundation of Dazhao was really thick by Shi Le.

Murong Hao, the lord of the Great Yan Kingdom, personally led the army from Youzhou to Yizhou, and the beginning was very smooth, and the Great Yan Kingdom soon laid down a large territory of Zhongshan County and Hejian County, the northernmost part of Yizhou, but they ran into the 200,000 army of Da Zhao, and the army was personally led by Shi Hong's uncle Cheng Yao, because the goal of the Great Yan Kingdom was the core of the Zhao State, which was equivalent to hitting the life gate of the Great Zhao, so the 200,000 army could be regarded as the most elite troops of the Great Zhao, although the Great Yan Kingdom had more than 100,000 troops than the Great Zhao, but the two sides were stunned that no one could beat anyone。 Murong Hao shouted angrily, but there was nothing he could do. Although Murong Hao has fought a lot of battles, he has fought hard every time with absolute strength, and he has been like this in every battle, he will not be flexible, and he will not listen to advice. His most hated brother Murong Han suggested that Murong Han return to the army to fight East Youzhou, take the entire Youzhou before the Ming Dynasty, and let the Ming gnaw the most difficult bone, but Murong Hao not only did not listen, but said that Murong Han had the ambition of others, and beat Murong Han with twenty military sticks, and everyone dared not speak at this moment.

Just when Dayan dragged the most elite troops of Dazhao in Yizhou, Xie Ai led an army of 200,000 people from the Tiger Prison Pass into Yuzhou, while Lu Zhong led 100,000 troops to Dongyouzhou, and at the same time, Yuwen Xianbei of Liao State also entered Dongyouzhou to cooperate with Daming. The three-way army did not encounter much resistance and occupied large areas of territory one after another. These places were all strategically abandoned territories by the Great Zhao State, because they knew that they could not fight on multiple fronts, and they were afraid of being killed by the Great Ming.

At this time, the Great Jin Dynasty also came out to pick up cheap, and the Great Jin Dynasty minister Huan Wen led an army of 60,000 called 200,000 from Yangzhou to Xuzhou (now Jiangsu), hoping to make some cheap. They sent people to Chang'an to discuss the alliance with the Ming Dynasty in the starry night.

The war in the whole world changed in the eighteenth year of Shengwu, from Daming to Da Zhao, and the painful besieged by the world became Da Zhao.

Outside the city of Chang'an in the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yun personally went out of the city to meet the army of the Great Liang Kingdom in the west, and finally half an hour later, Wang Jie's army came back in a mighty way. In addition to the Zhengxi Army and the Zhenxi Army continuing to garrison Liangzhou, the remaining three forbidden armies, 50,000 iron-blooded Praetorian Guards and 100,000 Shenwu troops all returned, but they were still full when they left, but only some of them returned, and they had to sigh the cruelty of ancient wars. In particular, there were only more than 100 of Yang Sheng's 50,000 former battalion forbidden army, and the rest were all martyred. Even Yang Sheng, a veteran, died on the battlefield, and after the death of Yang Ye, another Optimus Pillar Yang Sheng was also loyal to the country, and his two sons also died on the battlefield, which is really a loyal martyr.

In the cheers of the people, Wang Jie, Cui Cheng and others finally arrived, they dismounted and walked to Chu Yun's side from a few hundred meters away, shouting long live, like a high merit or something, Chu Yun is not afraid at all, Chu Yun has never lost a single battle, and the prestige in the army is like a god, he will be afraid of his subordinates rebelling?

Chu Yun let the two of them, along with Yang Sheng's third son, Yang Qing, get on Chu Yun's shoulders and enter Chang'an City with everyone's cheers. This time the battle on the Western Front is the top priority, they want to defeat the Qianliang army according to the plan to lure out the Qianliang army, and they need to grasp the proportions, and they have acted for several months to bring Da Zhao into the stage. In the end, there was also the encirclement and annihilation of the Daliang Coalition Army, which can be said to be fatal if the slightest miscalculation was made, but Wang Jie and others did a good job.

Chu Yun feasted on the ministers and was knighted, which was the second super-large-scale knighthood since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Wang Jie, who has the greatest credit, was named the founding county duke, becoming the first general to be crowned a duke among the military generals, although the county duke is the third rank of the duke, but it is also an absolute honor, you must know that Lu Zhong, Xie Ai and others are just marquises. However, this time, when Xie Ai and Lu Zhong's attack on Zhao is over, the two of them should also be able to be crowned, as we all know, Chu Yun will not let a person stand at the top alone, this is not the way of the emperor.

And Cui Cheng was promoted from the founding township to the founding county marquis, becoming the second only to Wang Jie as the marquis, you must know that he is a civil servant, even if he led the troops to cooperate with Wang Jie to encircle and annihilate the Daliang army this time, he is also a civil minister, and his credit is mainly to help Wang Jie's army deal with the logistics.

And the great merit of annihilating the Great Liang Army was given to his deputy Zhang Oy, this person was carefully selected by Chu Yun for his son, Chu Yun didn't know that as soon as he sent it, he gave Cui Cheng the super fierce general who could rank in the top five in the early stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms. This person commanded Ruoding in this battle, helped Cui Cheng quickly master the Iron and Blood Praetorian Guard and the Shenwu Army, and personally led people to capture Zhang Jun of the Great Liang Kingdom, and made great achievements. However, although Zhang Oyster has a lot of credit, everyone doesn't know why Chu Yun gave Cui Cheng all the credit to Zhang Oyster. This is not Chu Yun restricting his son, but he doesn't want to open a precedent for Wenchen to lead troops to get a heavy reward, look at the weakness of the Song Dynasty, isn't it just that the literati led the troops to make trouble. What Chu Yun wants is to perform his own duties, the civil servants manage the government, and the military attachés lead the troops to kill the enemy, and Chu Yun is also well-intentioned in doing so.

Zhang Hao changed from the county lieutenant of Wuwei County to the founding pavilion, the former battalion commander of the five battalion forbidden army, and became a general with heavy troops, but his first task now is to rebuild the disabled former battalion forbidden army, and now the former battalion forbidden army was named the iron-blooded former battalion forbidden army by Chu Yun, becoming a meritorious unit second only to the iron-blooded forbidden army.

Ran Min was also named the founding of the country, one level higher than the title of his father Ran Liang, and his left and right in this war were also very huge, and Chu Yun saw it in his eyes. Ran Min grew up to be a better general than his father, and Chu Yun was ready to reuse him.

After Yang Sheng died in battle, Chu Yun named Yang Sheng as the founding county duke, and was buried with the ceremony of the founding county duke, his son was demoted to the first class, and became the founding county marquis, the Yang family is a double marquis, and won the plaque of a loyal martyr given by Chu Yun himself. And Yang Sheng's only remaining adult third son, Yang Qing, was appointed by Chu Yun as the commander of the Iron and Blood Praetorian Guard, and in a few years he will be able to become a general with heavy troops like Zhang Hao, which shows that Chu Yun is really good to their family.

All the other generals and soldiers were basically promoted to one level, and even many were promoted to three ranks, including three who were named marquises, seven counts, thirty-five viscounts, and one hundred and seventy-six barons, and the quasi-nobles who received the Order of the Ming Empire were rewarded with 1,900 people. This Imperial Medal is the Death Medal of Merit, not only can you get more rewards, but also do not worship the officials, and consider it as soon as possible when you are promoted, which is the highest symbol of honor for the Ming soldiers. More than 50,000 first-, second-, and third-class medals were given to more than 50,000 people, and these medals were not only honorable, but also symbolized land and money, and when they were discharged, they were given together, which was a proper practical benefit.

Most of the army began to be repaired, and Cui Cheng also became the new Liangzhou Assassin to take office, but Ran Min was brought out by Chu Yun, this Ran Min is a war maniac, and he was so happy to hear that Chu Yun made him lead the troops, Chu Yun ordered Ran Min to raise 50,000 iron-blooded Praetorian Guards to support General Lu Zhong, and he left three days later. There were Xie Ai and Ran Liang all the way, Lu Zhong and Ran Min all the way, and Chu Yun completely put his mind at ease.

"Did anyone bring it?" Chu Yun finished dealing with the big things, and went to the heavenly prison, on the one hand, he was going to talk to Ma Liang, on the other hand, he wanted to go to see the three divine stone controllers of the Great Liang Kingdom, Chu Yun sent Hu Tiezhu, who had been promoted to the late stage of the earth level, to join Qingfeng and other three middle stage of the divine stone masters, and killed two of them in the army of the Great Liang Kingdom and captured one. In order to win over Da Liang, Da Zhao gritted his teeth and gave Zhang Jun a piece, but Zhang Jun didn't have time to use Da Ming to attack, he handed over the divine stone to his son Zhang Chonghua, and later Zhang Zuo killed his younger brother with the support of Da Ming and became the lord of Da Liang, and this god stone was taken by this guy who was not as good as the beast. This guy is really a sperm worm, and after he took the position, he showed his true colors as a lewd stick, his stepmother and his father's other women did not let go, and then led the troops to fight with his former allies Bald Xianbei and Beggar Xianbei, and his reputation in Daliang Country is not as good as stinky shit, of course, this is all behind the operation of Daming.

"Back to Your Majesty, someone has brought it. "A man in his sixties was thrown to the ground, this person is only in the early stage of the realm, maybe he has been promoted in the past few years, which shows how bad his qualifications are, after all, there is no bottleneck in the promotion of the divine stone. It was also thanks to this reason that Hu Tiezhu and the others were able to capture him alive, and the other two were both in the middle of the ground level, and Hu Tiezhu and the others could not capture them alive and could only shoot and kill them.

"You have worked hard, go down to receive the reward, all four of you have been upgraded by one level, and in addition, Liangtian Meiwen and I have sent you to the mansion to enjoy yourself. The four of them were all overjoyed, even Hu Tiezhu, after all, they had been in Liangzhou in the west for more than a year.

Waiting for the four of them to retreat, Chu Yun directly mentioned this person, and his mental power invaded this person's sea of consciousness like water, he just entered the early stage of the ground level and couldn't stop it at all. Although Chu Yun couldn't get all of this person's memories, some of them were enough.

Chu Yun threw aside the dead dog-like Divine Stone Controller, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and three words "Murong Yun" spit out fiercely in his mouth.
