The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 564 The situation is clear

In late June, [-] Hengshan troops entered Mingzhou and arrived at Killing Tiger Pass.In a few days, Cao Jun's offensive was defeated in one fell swoop.At the same time, Luo Yi led [-] Huazhou troops to Tianjing Pass, bombarding the pass wall every day.

The situation quickly reversed. Seeing that Hengshan was determined to defend Mingzhou, Cao Ziyan knew that he could not win Mingzhou with his current strength, so he immediately ordered the army to retreat and stationed in Zhongshan County for defense.

So far, the crisis in Mingzhou has been resolved.After seeing the power of Hengshan's sharp artillery, everyone in Mingzhou was shocked.Even Yang Mingyuan completely extinguished the revived ambition in his heart at this time.After the negotiation with Yu Jiang Yunchuan, he drafted a statement and made it public.

In the statement, Yang Mingyuan announced that he would cut down the prince and only retain the Duke of Ming.At the same time, he officially surrendered to Hengshan, dedicated Mingzhou, and handed over military power.

In this regard, Hengshan also issued a statement, affirming Yang Mingyuan's righteous deeds, and at the same time appointed him as the Mingzhou appeasement envoy to assist Hengshan in maintaining stability.As for officials and generals at all levels in Mingzhou, Hengshan also made a guarantee that in the next year, no adjustments will be made to officials at all levels in Mingzhou, and everything will focus on stabilizing the situation in Mingzhou.At the same time, Hengshan will be stationed in the Assessment Department of the Ministry of Official Affairs and the Integrity Department of the Supervisory Yuan to conduct assessments of officials at all levels in Mingzhou. The competent ones will be promoted and the incompetent will be dismissed.

As for the army, it will not change during this year.However, Hengshan will appoint a general as a deputy to assist the general in reorganizing the various armies.Lin Yifan attaches great importance to the rectification of the army. If it is not handled properly, rebellion will easily occur.Especially those generals, who control the soldiers and horses under their command, will raise their flags to rebel if there is a slight change.

In this regard, Lin Yifan made two preparations. On the one hand, he was given a relatively high military rank to appease him.On the other hand, he ordered the Hengshan Army stationed in Mingzhou to be ready, and if there is a rebellion, it will be wiped out immediately without mercy.

The reason why Yang Mingyuan stayed in Mingzhou also had two meanings.One is to appoint him as a pacifier and still govern Mingzhou in order to calm the hearts of the people, showing that Hengshan is open-minded and treats him without distinction.The second is to use Yang Mingyuan as a hostage to intimidate everyone in Mingzhou so that they dare not turn their backs.If Yang Mingyuan were to go to Hengshan, a few rumors would be enough to shake the entire Mingzhou and turmoil people's hearts.Keeping Mingzhou and possessing a certain amount of power will allow Mingzhou people to feel the existence of their old master, so that they will not be confused.

A huge change in Mingzhou immediately shocked the whole world.No one could have imagined that King Ming would choose to join Hengshan at this time.Anyway, he is also the overlord of one side, how could he trust Hengshan with his wealth and life?

Compared with ordinary people, many insightful people immediately saw the situation in the world. Now Yanming and Mingzhou belong to each other, and there are only Hengshan and Cao's in the world. They are the only ones who can win the world in the end.

If they spread out the map, they would find that the Cao family now occupies most of the Central Plains, including six of the eleven states of the Tianwu Empire, except for the five states of Lei Ming Hua Ansha.Although there are only six states, they are all in the heart of the Central Plains, with a population of 5000 million.

And Hengshan now occupies the four states of Tianwu, and with the addition of the two newly established states, it also occupies the land of six states.No, with the addition of a huge Western Region, the area under its rule is far larger than that of the Cao family, but its population is only about 2000 million, which is far inferior to that of the Cao family.

Which side of this world belongs to, many people began to think.Cao Jiasheng has a large population, occupies the fertile Central Plains, and has endless manpower and material resources. Although he was defeated in Hengshan many times, he was able to recover quickly after the war. This is the advantage of geographical advantage.At the same time, the Cao family hijacked the emperor and occupied righteousness.After nearly ten years of hard work, the hearts of the people in the world have gradually transferred to the Cao family, and the authority of the emperor has been lost, so there is harmony among people.As for the timing, everyone couldn't help shaking their heads, what the Cao family lacked was the timing.Years of natural disasters and man-made disasters can be described as one after another, greatly weakening the strength of the Cao family, otherwise, Hengshan would not be allowed to grow, so that it would be difficult to contain it.

As for Hengshan, everyone really couldn't understand it.Some people think that it is because of its folk customs and martial arts, and it is possible to open up such a huge territory by honing a strong army in the struggle with foreign races;

There are also people who believe that the reason why Hengshan has developed into such a powerful country is because of the system it created. Prosperity, people's support; attention to agriculture and industry, so that exquisite equipment, sufficient money and food; attention to enlightenment education, after nearly ten years of development, the literacy rate of the people in Hengshan has become the highest in the world, and what is even more frightening is that after ten years of cultivating people , Batches of talents cultivated by themselves have already begun to be used.In short, Hengshan is already a country completely different from the Central Plains, and its inherent potential is extremely huge.But because of this, the difficulty for them to compete in the Central Plains will also increase countless times.Because their system has seriously touched the core interests of the gentry.

Today, the tragic situation of the nobles in Huazhou has already spread throughout the world.Many gentry have already listed Hengshan as a scourge, and fully supported Cao Ziyan to resist Hengshan's invasion.

Although Hengshan has various peculiarities, it is undeniable that Hengshan is the most powerful in today's world. Whether it is the Cao family, Donghu, or even Tianyun and other countries, they are all defeated by Hengshan.Not to mention, there are many powerful countries far away in the Western Regions, who have already been defeated by Hengshan.In today's world, with the strength of a country, it is no longer able to withstand Hengshan's soldiers.

Cao Ziyan naturally understands this very well. Although he has won Yanzhou now, he cannot digest it in a short time.And Hengshan is now in the new state of Mingzhou, and it is also in the process of consolidating it with all its strength.But what made his scalp tingle was that after Hengshan took down Mingzhou, his soldiers were only separated from the capital by a long river.He didn't believe that the Longjiang navy alone could stop Hengshan's attack.Once the Hengshan Army captures the capital, the consequences will be disastrous.Once the emperor falls into Hengshan's hands, there will be another turmoil in the Cao family's hard-won stable interior.

For this reason, Cao Ziyan urgently summoned all his confidants to discuss countermeasures.Soon, Shen Li immediately proposed the strategy of uniting the East Hu.Now that Donghu has suffered under Hengshan's hands, he must have resentment.Only one envoy is needed to urge the two families to form an alliance and deal with Hengshan together.

At this time, Cao Ziyan had no choice but to collude with Donghu, and it was very likely to be criticized by the people, but compared to Hengshan's threat, these were nothing.

Regarding Emperor Tianwu's arrangement, everyone believed that the capital should be moved at this time to avoid the Hengshan Army's advance.Only Shen Li said quietly: "Your Majesty, the time has come, why not replace him?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and couldn't help but looked at Cao Ziyan together.

Cao Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked deeply at Shen Li, and finally said lightly: "Let's discuss this matter."

As soon as these words came out, everyone took a deep breath. Is this really going to change?
