The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 311 Tianyun court pressures Leizhou
At the time when the imperial court and ministers were fighting secretly, the news of the Anzhou Northern Expeditionary Army's annihilation had spread to all parts of the world, and it continued to spread far and wide.

This year's winter is still very cold, and the people who have survived the year are once again facing the disaster of freezing and starvation.In particular, the two consecutive major expeditions this year completely emptied the imperial court's treasury and granaries.Now, in order to meet the needs of conscription and court expenses, various taxes have to be temporarily collected and apportioned to the common people.

Faced with the exploitation of officials at all levels, the people who were already impoverished were forced to sell their fields and houses, and even their children and daughters.All kinds of dissatisfaction and resentment hidden in the people began to ferment slowly, and only one spark was enough to detonate the whole world.

Sky Cloud Country, Floating Cloud City.

At this time, the Tianyun Kingdom is firmly implementing the Farming War Reform. During this period, the country is in turmoil, and the conservative forces and reformists of all parties are fighting each other.Relying on the military power in its hands, Bai Yunting firmly suppressed the resistance of the conservative forces and effectively guaranteed the implementation of the reform.The conservative forces had no choice but to turn from light to darkness, waiting for the opportunity.

The high-spirited reformists began to implement the New Deal with great fanfare. The characteristics of the New Deal are that it suppresses the powerful and big landlords and supports the small and medium landlords; dismisses Neo-Confucianism and respects the legal system; implements the Military Land Law and rewards military exploits; emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, business and official camps; all people are soldiers. , Militarism.After the implementation of the new policy for more than half a year, the entire Tianyun Kingdom has undergone great changes, and the rights of soldiers have been greatly improved, so that martial arts have become popular among the people, and fighting with weapons is frequent.Most of the country's money, food and materials were tilted towards the army, which made the Tianyun Kingdom recruit as many as 50 soldiers in one fell swoop.In order to maintain such a huge military force, the people have no money left to set up all kinds of extravagant and wasteful activities, so that simplicity has become a common practice in Tianyun, and the people's hearts are gradually becoming more and more simple.

In Tianlue Hall, after hearing about the new policies in various places, Baiyunting suddenly changed the topic to the recent news, "Everyone, I just got the news from Tianwu Kingdom yesterday that Tianwu gathered an army of 20 to attack Ann in two ways. The two prefectures of Ming and Ming rebelled. Unexpectedly, the 20 army led by the son of Cao Ji was almost wiped out in Anzhou. According to reliable information, it was not the Li family army that defeated the main force of Tianwu, but the Hengshan army from the north of Anzhou. I didn't expect that there is such a powerful force hidden in the territory of Anzhou. With this battle, the Hengshan Army can be ranked among the heroes in the world."

All the ministers were startled when they heard the words, they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling very strange to this Hengshan Army who suddenly popped up.

Hu Chengjing squinted his eyes, stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of force this Hengshan Army is from. Why have we never heard of it?"

"Haha, I didn't pay much attention to it before, and I don't know much more than you." Bai Yunting was probably satisfied with the current implementation of the new policy, and felt very happy.For things that are thousands of miles away, we can only talk about them as anecdotes. "If you want to understand the Hengshan Army, you can only ask our General Zhengbei to explain it."

Hearing this, Ma Kuiming couldn't help but bowed to him with a wry smile, "Your Majesty is going to shame my minister. The battle that day was a shame in my life, so it's worth not mentioning it."

"As the saying goes, you should be brave after knowing your shame. Why don't General Ma explain it to you ministers, so as to solve everyone's confusion. I am also interested in this Hengshan Army now, and I really want to know something about him." Bai Yunting raised his hand to signal him Stand up and say with a smile.

Hearing this, Ma Kuiming couldn't help but nodded. Regarding the Hengshan Army, since he came back, he specially sent people to investigate around Hengshan, and indeed obtained a lot of information.Gradually, he paid more attention to this small force thousands of miles away. "Your Majesty, my lords, this Hengshan should not be underestimated. I had a battle with the Hengshan Army in Shazhou last year. Kui Liang, my younger brother, led thousands of soldiers and horses to intercept a group of more than 1 people. The team from Shazhou returned to Hengshan. The two sides fought in an abandoned small city for more than ten days, but they were unable to attack for a long time. In the end, they were defeated by the reinforcements from Hengshan, and the clan brothers died in battle. When Wei Chen arrived, they They pursued the thousands of Hengshan troops, and finally forced them into a cottage. But Wei Chen also attacked for several days, only to feel that the opponent's combat power was strong, and a mere [-] horses could capture it. I wanted to send troops and generals, but when I learned that our country was in crisis, I had to lead my army back quickly."

"Afterwards, I was very interested in Hengshan, so I sent people to investigate Hengshan secretly, and only then did I have a rough understanding of Hengshan. The Hengshan Army is located in the Hengshan Mountains in the north of Anzhou, across Ansha and Shazhou. As far as I have sent people to investigate, the land under the jurisdiction of Hengshan now includes the five counties of Anzhou and a large grassland north of Hengshan. According to reports, this grassland is exactly the land of Xiazhou that has been lost for thousands of years Now Hengshan has [-] troops, of which there are more than [-] cavalry, which is enough to shock the northwest. This time, the ability to annihilate the Tianwu Army depends on the fact that the [-] cavalry were the first to annihilate the Tianwu cavalry, and then raided Jishan Guan cut off the food and grass supply of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and finally forced the Tianwu Army into a predicament, and collapsed without a fight."

Hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but gasped, they didn't expect the Hengshan Army to be so powerful.

Bai Yunting also put away his smiling face, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Kui Ming, you mean, the Hengshan Army has now expanded its power to the land of the two states, and has also regained the land of Xia State, covering thousands of miles. Grassland? If so, given time, the Hengshan army will definitely be our Tianyun's great enemy. Kui Ming, what information do you know about Hengshan, report it to me as soon as possible."

"I would like to obey the holy order." Ma Kuiming hurriedly bowed to the ground, and then told all the information about Hengshan that he knew in court.

After listening to Ma Kuiming's narration, Bai Yunting narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and laughed loudly: "Haha, in this turbulent world, heroes come forth in large numbers. Unexpectedly, in just one year, two great talents emerged A man of grandeur. I was fortunate enough to witness it, what a blessing!"

"Your Majesty is a wise emperor who is not born in the world. How can two rebels be compared?" Hu Chengjing stood up dissatisfied, and retorted, "When my new policy is successfully implemented, I can sweep the plateau and go east to the Central Plains. Then the whole world will be conquered. , all these traitors have become ashes, what is the point?"

"Haha, I have no doubts about the reform and new policy presided over by the prime minister, please rest assured." Bai Yunting shook his head with a wry smile, and assured him, "I am planning to use the method of the prime minister to compete with the heroes in the world in the future, see In this world, who is the master of ups and downs. I am full of expectations and confidence in this."

"Your Majesty is wise, do you dare to spare no effort to obey the emperor's order?" Everyone was overjoyed and bowed down and kowtowed in thanks.

"Okay, everyone, let's get back together." Bai Yunting waved his hands, his expression gradually softening.Looking at the crowd, he said: "Men and Gong, now that the elite of the Wu Kingdom has been lost, the court's troops are empty; there are also the Li family army in Huazhou and the Yang family army in Mingzhou. The capital of Tianwu Kingdom is in danger of being overthrown. Entering Longyang City, the Tianwu Kingdom is bound to be in chaos. At that time, our opportunity will come. Therefore, we must take action this time in order to continue to consume the strength of the Tianwu Kingdom. I think that the Leizhou Army is very likely to be dispatched to China We must put down the rebellion in Leizhou, and we must firmly drag the Leizhou army within the territory of Leizhou, reduce the pressure on the Li family in Huazhou, and let Tianwu Kingdom continue to be in chaos."

"Your Majesty, I implore you to go and contain the Leizhou Army." Ma Kuiming knew the meaning of the sound, and was the first to jump out immediately, begging for his life eagerly.

"General Ma really wins my favor." Bai Yunting nodded with a smile, "In that case, then you will lead an army of [-] to Leizhou to join the garrison and suppress Leizhou's defense line. Remember, this battle cannot be expanded. Deterrence should be the main thing, and harassment should be supplemented. Our goal is to hold back the Leizhou army, not to fight it, do you understand?"

"My minister understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Ma Kuiming said loudly with his head held high.
