Chapter Forty-Nine: The Land of Blackwater

"The civil strife in the Black Water Country can be changed with a wave of Yun's hand, but the immortal cultivation world does not allow monks to directly meddle in mortal affairs!"

Yunxiao originally planned to support the human forces and capture the Black Water Country by himself, but later felt that this matter took too long, and it happened that Zhu Jing, the king of Ning, came to visit. King Ning was a vassal king of a kingdom under the Ming Dynasty, and it would save a lot of things for him to do this.

"In this way, this king thanks Yun Gongzi!"

After King Ning and Yunxiao discussed the details of the capture of the Black Water Kingdom, King Ning told Yunxiao the true purpose of his visit:

"Yun Gongzi, this king is actually here for Andong City this time!"

It turned out that King Ning planned to re-establish Andong City, Andong City was originally a small border city, and after King Ning arrived, after more than ten years of efforts, it has indeed changed a lot, but the most fundamental thing is not solved.

The city of Andong City is in disrepair, and it needs to spend a lot of silver, and the feudal state to which it belongs cannot afford to spend this huge expenditure, so King Ning must find a way to do it himself, plus the four major families maintain the finances of Youzhou, which makes it difficult for King Ning.

"I know, King Ning can send his capable subordinates to engage in business, I don't think it will be many years, with the support of Yun, the prince can defeat the four major families and force them to join the prince!"

"So, thank you Yun Gongzi!"

King Ning came very worthwhile this time, not only the Heishui Country was at his fingertips, but also got the wine and porcelain monopoly promised by Yunxiao, plus Yunxiao's plan to open up a large number of farms, enough to accommodate millions of people, this plan from Andong City all the way to the north, will include the entire Heishui Country.

"Lord Wang, you are very happy today, the old slave is relieved!"

"Butler, when I came here from the capital, you were the only one who came with me, this king's wish for many years, finally have the opportunity to show his strengths, and this king will not treat the old housekeeper badly in the future!"

The old housekeeper of King Ning's mansion, when he heard King Ning's words, was very moved and said: "Back then, Niangniang had a great grace to the old slave, and it was the blessing of the old slave to serve the prince!"

King Ning took precautions, the Zhao family brothers were originally the defected generals of the Heishui Kingdom, and the two of them lived in seclusion in Andong City with their families, and they were very excited after learning about Yunxiao's plan.

"Damn Narita, I'm going to take revenge on you! Thank you Yun Gongzi for finding a chance to avenge our brother!"

The Zhao family has the ability to be a meritorious military general of the Heishui country for generations, and the lord of the country Narita listened to the slander and killed the Zhao family, and in the end, only the two brothers Zhao Da and Zhao Wu, who were guarding the border pass, escaped with their families, and the other parents and brothers were all killed by the lord of the country.

In fact, the current crisis of the Heishui Kingdom is also caused by the killing of the Zhao family by the former lord Narita, without the support of the Zhao family, several small families in the Heishui country supported the princes of the former lord Narita in various ways, and as a result, Narita was poisoned by his son, and the Heishui country fell into chaos.

The entire Heishui Kingdom is actually one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, but because it is on the border of northern Xinjiang, it is slowly out of the control of the imperial court, and the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty has caused the control of the border area to decline, and in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been unable to look north in the face of the strength of the Great Zhou and the Han Dynasty in the south.

"Lord Wang, there are two generals outside asking to see, and they claim to be rebels from the Black Water Country!"

King Ning had been preparing for a few days, and was about to send someone to ask about the situation on the other side of Yunxiao, when the Zhao family brothers arrived with five hundred elite mountain warriors.

"Invite them to the side hall!"

In order to win people's hearts, King Ning did not summon the Zhao brothers as a prince, but came to meet the Zhao brothers in ordinary aristocratic clothes.

"Zhao Yi, Zhao Wu has seen the prince!"

King Ning was very happy to see the heroic Zhao family brothers, and after talking to the two in detail, he became more confident in attacking the Black Water Kingdom. Although Narita, the former head of the Heishui Kingdom, killed the parents and brothers of the Zhao family brothers for no reason, the Zhao family has long been deeply rooted in the Heishui Kingdom.

Although the Zhao brothers have left the Heishui Kingdom in recent years, the survivors of the Zhao clan are constantly accumulating strength, preparing to overthrow the Cheng clan's control of the Heishui Kingdom one day.

In the past few days, the Zhao family brothers have secretly contacted the clansmen of the Heishui Country, and they have immediately received the support of the family, and the fall of the Heishui Country is imminent.

"General Zhao, after seizing the Heishui Kingdom this time, this king will be crowned as the lord of the two vassal states, and the two generals can establish a vassal state in the north of the Heishui country!"

The Zhao brothers were very happy to hear that the dream of the Zhao family for hundreds of years was about to come true, and the two brothers relied on the help of Yunxiao in the future, all the way to the north to expand the territory, and the Youzhou Kingdom of King Ning gradually became the two most powerful feudal states of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to exercise his ability to command troops, King Ning followed the Zhao brothers to the northernmost border of Andong City.

After King Ning came to the border, he saw that the Zhao family had more than 10,000 private soldiers, and immediately knew that the Zhao brothers could only be their right-hand men, and they could not cross the river and tear down the bridge.

"Two General Zhao, how do we march next?"

Zhao Yi took out the map, pointed to a secret path and said:

"We can go straight to the capital of the Blackwater Country along this path, my two uncles have already bribed the city gate officials, and when the time comes, we can capture the Blackwater Country in one fell swoop!"

When King Ning followed the Zhao brothers into the Heishui Kingdom, Uncle Li came to the army with Yunxiao's handwritten letter. After King Ning read the letter, he was overjoyed. It turned out that in order to help King Ning stabilize the situation in Heishui Country, Yunxiao had seriously upstream, and prepared a large amount of food.

Everything went smoothly according to Yunxiao's plan, and the four sons of Narita, the former lord of the Heishui Kingdom, had just reached an agreement to divide the Heishui Kingdom, and the Zhao brothers led their troops to sneak into the capital of the Heishui Kingdom and kill all the descendants of Narita.

Afterwards, the Zhao brothers took the clansmen of the Zhao clan to Guyuan in the north of the Heishui Kingdom to establish a vassal state, and became the most powerful allies of King Ning's subordinates.

"Master He, after the spring of next year, I will bother you and continue to lead people to reclaim the farm!"

"Yun Gongzi, you are too polite, this time to recover the Black Water Country, we people who have been poisoned by military disasters for many years can finally live a peaceful life, and the battle is thanks to your great kindness Yun Gongzi!"

Along the Fengshui River is the Heishui Country, and it is also the most important river in the Heishui Country except for the Heilongjiang River in the north.

The Heishui Kingdom mainly uses mining as the main source of economy, and is rich in products, but it lacks farmland and has not been able to be self-sufficient in food, so after King Ning occupies the Heishui Kingdom, he must reclaim the fields and find a way to be self-sufficient, after all, Andong City is not a rich place.
