Chapter 152, the conspiracy begins
In the leopard garden, Zhu Houzhao looked at the beasts in the cage boredly. I don’t know what happened, but he could always find his figure from these beasts.
A few years ago, Zhu Houzhao repelled the Mongolian invasion while traveling to Xuanfu. He thought he could take the opportunity to revive the military equipment, but he did not expect that the civil servants simply refused to admit it.
No matter what the emperor said, everyone just looked like I didn't believe it. Even if there was a head level as evidence, everyone still pretended not to see it. The strong censor insisted that he was killing good people and taking credit.
After several months of hard work, the Ministry of War ended the farce with the Spring and Autumn style. In short, it was to recognize the "Yingzhou Victory", but not the emperor's achievements.
More than 100,000 people fought for five days, with more than 100 major and large battles. The final approved record was the beheading of 16, and the Ming army was killed in 52.
As for the other heads, I'm sorry no one saw it. Who knows how he died? Maybe the enemy was unable to think about it and committed suicide, so that the emperor could get a bargain.
The literati who controlled public opinion did not admit it, and the news spread to the people and added a touch of the ridiculous matters of the emperor.
I thought the matter would end like this. Unexpectedly, the sudden change from the world actually caused the civil servants to change their minds.
The civil officials who had originally opposed the emperor's rectification of military equipment are now crying and clamoring to the court to strengthen military equipment and eliminate illegal armed forces in the territory.
Especially officials from the Guangdong and Guangxi generation have been running around in the court since three years, asking the court to take action to wipe out the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Immediately afterwards, officials from Yunnan and Guizhou joined, and then a generation of civil servants from Fujian and Jiangnan joined.
In short, everyone has suffered from Dongfang Bubai for a long time. Even the Yan Shenggong lineage has not escaped the devil's claws and was visited by the leader of the Demon Cult.
The aristocratic families organized a siege and killing Dongfang Bubai many times, but in the end they had no choice but to find that they could not catch up with them.
In order to get rid of this big devil, the aristocratic families even launched a relationship and invited various martial arts troops to take action. Unfortunately, they won and didn't want to participate, and the rest were powerless.
The big devil Dongfang Bubai has not been eliminated yet, but the martial arts landscape has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The emergence of the top ten forces in the martial arts world not only threatened the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but also threatened the survival of the aristocratic families.
The traditional famous sects are not bad. Knowing the background of the aristocratic families, they still maintain their tacit understanding in the past.
But the emerging martial arts forces are different. The ignorant young men directly received the protection fees from the aristocratic families.
If this is just this, it won’t panic. You can just slowly plan and fight back. The key is that Dongfang Bubai is making a bad start.
Since the leader of the Demon Cult can snatch martial arts secrets, other "Demon Cult demons" can also follow suit.
The martial arts forces with insufficient inheritance have all turned their attention to the aristocratic families. Especially the big families that were snatched by Dongfang Bubai have become the hardest hit areas for people in the world.
Faced with the perverted Dongfang Bubai, everyone had to compromise, but the aristocratic families were not so easy to talk to for ordinary forces in the world. One word - kill.
It was not until the Jianghu forces began to form alliances that changed. The original single-person crime turned into a gang crime.
Even the gangs that were previously controlled by the aristocratic families have now gradually escaped control. After finding the new and old bosses, many people want to wash away the humiliating history of the past.
In addition to the controlled areas of a few major sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and Huashan, and relatively peaceful, the people in other places have already competed with the great families of aristocratic families.
Threats, kidnapping, poisoning... all kinds of despicable means are constantly being staged everywhere. Some families with decline in strength have even been destroyed.
Although the great family has withstood the impact, they cannot resist being missed every day!
Counterattack, you must fight back.
Only by killing the chicken to warn the monkey and shocking the lawless forces in the world can everyone live a stable life again.
At this time, the value of the court was reflected.
The great sects that occupy famous mountains and rivers may be difficult to eliminate for a while, but the value of the army is reflected in the gangs that are hiding in the market.
Being led by someone is not Zhu Houzhao's temper. It is not without risks to mobilize the army of *** Lake gangs. Once the operation fails, the world will be in chaos.
The Ming Dynasty is no longer the beginning of its dynasty, and the local garrisons have long been decayed and cannot intimidate the martial arts forces at all.
Only the border troops with still combat power can suppress the turmoil in Wulin. Now famous sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and Huashan have not participated in the turmoil. The biggest reason is that they are afraid of the border troops.
But he was afraid of it before using it. Zhu Houzhao knew more than ordinary people. The seemingly powerful nine-sided important town also had serious hidden dangers.
If the border army performs poorly among the forces of *** Lake, it will really cause chaos in the world.
It’s just that it’s not possible to not take action. If these forces in the world continue to grow, it’s easy to form local separatist.
In the past, Emperor Taizu started his business with martial arts forces, so Zhu Houzhao did not dare to take it lightly.
He threw a piece of meat into the leopard room. Zhu Houzhao Chong rushed to the front of the Jinyiwei commander and asked, "Qian Ning, where should we start from if you want to quell this turmoil?"
"Your Majesty, the troops of the garrisons in various places have become corrupt. If you want to launch an encirclement and suppression, you can only focus on the border troops.
However, the martial arts forces are distributed all over the world, and the number of elite border troops is limited, so it is impossible to launch encirclement and suppression at the same time.
If the civil servants divided their troops and looked around according to the plan, the border troops lost their numerical advantage, even if they had the cooperation of various families, it would be difficult to do it at one time..."
The further he got to the back, Qian Ning's head lowered, as if he was afraid to face Zhu Houzhao's eyes.
Although the martial arts world has formed the top ten forces, except for Shaolin, Wudang, Northern Alliance, Southern Alliance, and the nine-sect alliance in Shuzhong, the rest are all separated by one side.
With the execution of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to implement encirclement and suppression at the same time. Even before the army set out, each faction received the news first.
The saying that the king's land is in the world has no deterrent effect on the people in the world. If the court wants to destroy a large force, it must have a legitimate reason.
Otherwise, they would be officially in conflict with the world. Even if the factions do not want to rebel, they can only bite the bullet and raise the flag of the anti-bank.
It is unclear whether the major forces can be wiped out. Anyway, chaos in the world is inevitable. Ninety-nine percent of the Ming Dynasty may die.
Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "Yes, if these forces in the martial arts world were easy to destroy, Emperor Taizu had done it long ago, how could it be left until now?
If you can't directly encircle and suppress it, you can only defeat it from the inside.
Perhaps those aristocratic families have already begun planning. The encirclement and suppression plan proposed by the officials to put the imperial court on fire. Isn’t it just that I want to take the lead and take the blame?”
It is risky to pull hatred from people in the world.
"A man's anger will make blood splatter five steps."
No matter what kind of aristocratic families and noble families are born, everyone is willing to pay their blood debts.
"Your Majesty, maybe we can also bring disaster to the east. Aristocratic families use the court, and we can also use them.
We can use the power of the court as an excuse to let the masters of the aristocratic families participate and carry out beheading operations against the major forces in the martial arts world.
Except for the one who cannot move and Dongfang Bubai cannot surround and kill, with the intention of making a fool of himself, as long as the arrangement is properly, the leaders of other forces may be assassinated.
Excluding the relatively stable Shaolin Wudang, the remaining six forces are mixed with each other. As long as the leader dies, they will fall into chaos.
I don't believe that the aristocratic families did not bury secrets in several major alliances. With the people we mixed in, as long as we push them together, these alliances will fall into the battle for power and profit and kill each other.
No matter how hidden it is, there will always be clues left. Afterwards, we will deliberately arrange some clues and lead them to other forces."
It’s not okay to do serious business, but to play tricks, Qian Ning is a professional.
Although the establishment of several major alliances is easy, the secretaries of the many forces involved in them are probably not clear.
Many forces even joined the alliance in order to protect themselves when they see changes in the world.
Once there are no leader in the group of dragons, these new alliances will soon fall into chaos.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask: "How many top masters are recorded in the Jinyiwei in the Great Family?"
In terms of understanding the aristocratic families, the Jinyiwei, which was first established, dug deeper, and many spies buried them at the beginning of the founding of the country.
Qian Ning took the lead in answering: "Based on the information we have collected, the number of top masters in the aristocratic families is roughly between sixteen and eighteen.
However, the one from the Chen family in Fuzhou was deposed by Huashan several years ago and has not recovered to this day.
The one from the Lin family in Quanzhou also disappeared a few years ago and is likely to have been plotted against by the Five Yue Sword Sect.
In the past two or three years, Dongfang has been unbeaten and has successively killed and severely damaged the top masters of many aristocratic families. Now there should be no more than eight top masters who can attack with all their strength."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly understood why the aristocratic family suddenly became cowardly. It was purely because of the disaster caused by Dongfang Bubai. Now the high-end power is seriously damaged.
It seems that there are many top masters, but the aristocratic families are also distributed all over the world. If you want to support each other, you can't arrive in a day or two.
What's more, there are conflicts between the aristocratic families, so it is impossible to cooperate closely. For example, the aristocratic families in Guanzhong, Huguang, and Henan were not affected by the unrest, so I am so happy to read jokes now.
The big families who are willing to spend a lot of money are all victims. The biggest reason why they can be targeted by people in the world is that their high-end power is damaged.
The high-end power of the aristocratic families is insufficient, so the main force of this operation can only be the court.
A top master is not easy to kill. If multiple players join forces at the same level, or if they are a perverted attack like Dongfang Bubai, they will be sure to be fatal.
Looking at the information about the top ten forces, Zhu Houzhao felt a big head. If he really wanted to carry out a beheading operation at the same time, it would be impossible for anyone to kill anyone.
"The Five Mountains Sword Sect first ignore it, let the cabinet find a reason, and then enthrone the Huashan Sect again, so as to stabilize Li Zhenren first.
Shaolin and Wudang are still quite at ease for the time being, so let them go first. The Buddha Sect is strong and has relatively stable internally, so it is not advisable to act rashly.
To deal with these companies, we can only use their strength to fight. Let the cabinet find ways to provoke conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism and lead these companies into the game.
The strength of the Aristocratic League is limited and not afraid of it, so I will ignore it this time.
Priority should be given to the other four, especially the nine-sect alliance, the Northern Alliance, and the Southern Alliance, and they must not be able to make them bigger.
Let the aristocratic families gather ten top masters, and our people will take action together. Even if they can't get up, they will be carried to the battlefield, otherwise they will be consumed first!
I also sent someone to warn Buddhism, and I will be more at ease recently and don’t cause trouble for me at this time.
Tell them that if I force me to do something urgent, I will set up a Taoist sect to win over Li Zhenren to come and stand up."
Zhu Houzhao has always been the best at playing scoundrels. Even now, there has not been any change.
