May, 19th, one hour
Both sides of Luoyang Avenue, the main road in Yijing, are surrounded by dense crowds of people. Everyone is eagerly waiting for something... ····
"I heard that Marshal Ye of our Fengwu Army is going to conquer Hebei and Yu personally this time!"
"What? Marshal Ye went out to fight in person? Has the situation in Hebei and Yu become so corrupt?
"It's no big deal in Jiyu. Xu Zhaojie is just a disease in Jiyu. General Yuan of the Fengwu Army has already launched a counterattack in Jiyu. Now that Marshal Ye is here in person, Xu Zhaojie is probably not far away from death! "
'This dear fellow is so right! Since the formation of the Fengwu Army, they have fought from outside the pass to inside the pass, conquering cities and territories all the way. No matter how powerful Xu Zhaojie is, he will never be able to withstand the Fengwu Army's million-strong army! '
"Instead of worrying about Xu Zhaojie, it's better to worry about the situation in Yunbin. I heard that Shangguan Hongyuan's offensive in Yunbin is very fierce!"
"So what if Shangguan Hongyuan is fierce? He can't even see Jinzhong City now!"
············
············
While people were discussing enthusiastically, in the guest room of Chenxiang Xiaozhu, a luxury hotel in Yijing located on the east side of Luoyang Avenue, Jiang Yuyan looked at the situation outside with extremely complicated emotions in her heart. During these days, she was in Yijing for tickets. Regarding the license plate, I ran around for several days and met with many high-ranking officials of the Fengwu Army.
However, she wanted to give gifts to others, but she was rejected many times in a row, which made her have a question in her mind!
Don’t all the officials in the Fengwu Army love money?
In order to solve this doubt in her heart, she also actively inquired for information, trying to find an answer!
With her unremitting efforts, Jiang Yuyan soon found the answer························
The answer is that under the supervision of the Inspector General, the room for corruption among Fengwu Army officials has been reduced a lot. However, under Ye Mingsheng's iron-fisted suppression, the vast majority of Fengwu Army officials did not dare to test the law.
In addition to creating an environment where corruption is impossible and dare not happen, Ye Mingsheng also significantly increased officials' salaries and remuneration, allowing officials to live a decent and prosperous life even if they are not corrupt!
As a result, officials cherish their official positions more and more. They don't want to lose their official position just for a small profit, and let their more than ten years of hard study be in vain, and they will change from a high-ranking official to a prisoner!
After realizing this answer, Jiang Yuyan began to realize that the ruthless single man at the center of the Fengwu Army rumors was different from the other princes in the Zhou Dynasty. Although the other princes all shouted the banner of fighting corruption, they were all without exception. They are all concerned about the intricate network of relationships that can become messy even if they are constantly cut and sorted out.
Therefore, in the process of fighting corruption, the thunder is loud and the rain is small. They only dare to fight some small flies, but dare not fight the big tigers who are full of fat. They do not really consider actions for the benefit of the people. It's just a political show out of self-interest!
But Ye Mingsheng is different from them. While fighting corruption, Ye Mingsheng promoted reforms to reduce the burden on the people at the bottom. He implemented a new tax law to let high-income earners pay more taxes and let the people at the bottom pay less taxes, or even no tax at all. Pay taxes.
Although these reforms have won Ye Mingsheng a lot of praise from the people, they have also offended many people. These monsters and monsters are not willing to accept their own interests, so Ye Mingsheng takes away the relief and gives it to the common people. They I’m thinking about counterattacks all the time...
Naturally, Ye Mingsheng would not be soft on these stubborn people. He held the military power and directly suppressed them with a wave of his hand. In this way, the clean and honest officialdom under the Fengwu Army was gradually formed. atmosphere.
After realizing that bribery was not feasible in Yi Jing, Jiang Yuyan gradually became frustrated and desperate about obtaining the ticket license. She knew very well that her Wang family was far from her two competitors in Fengwu Army. The relationship background is stronger.
The fact is exactly what she thought. The results of the license competition were announced three days ago. The Yun family of Liaoyang and the Liu family of Youyan successfully won the bid and won two ticket number licenses, which can be used in the area under the rule of Fengwu Army. Open a ticket number within.
Seeing that all her efforts these days were in vain, Jiang Yuyan was extremely disappointed and began to wonder if she had made a mistake in joining the Fengwu Army.
Just when Jiang Yuyan was thinking about how to return to Yujing and deal with the mess of the Wang family, the Chief Secretary sent someone to find her. But when she arrived at the Chief Secretary, she found that the person who met her was the one who rejected her. Think twice!
Although Gu Sansi's reputation in the Fengwu Army was not as good as that of Ye Mingsheng's uncle Cui Shao or Murong Yuliang, who was born into a well-known family, Jiang Yuyan, who wanted to join the Fengwu Army and carefully studied the power structure of the Fengwu Army, was Knowing that in the civil service system of Fengwu Army, Gu Sansi is Ye Mingsheng's confidant. There are many key things under the rule of Fengwu Army. Cui Shao and Murong Yuliang have no say in it, but Gu Sansi can make the decision. ·······················
Gu Sansi's interview also made Jiang Yuyan realize that things might turn around. Just when she expected Gu Sansi to make the decision and give her the third ticket number plate, Gu Sansi just told her that the Chief Secretary would send a team He sent an expert working group to Yujing to inspect the situation of the Wang family and asked the Wang family to make preparations. Other than that, Gu Sansi said nothing.
Although Gu Sansi's tone was very strict and he only said that someone would investigate the situation of the Wang family, but did not say why the Wang family was inspected or what would happen after the inspection, this made Jiang Yuyan keenly aware that not only might things turn around, but they might even become a problem. A chance encounter between her and the Wang family.
Realizing this, Jiang Yuyan originally planned to return to Yujing immediately and make all possible preparations. At this time, news came from outside that Ye Mingsheng would personally lead troops to conquer Xu Zhaojie, and would do so in A swearing-in meeting was held on May 19th.
After learning the news, Jiang Yuyan, who was full of curiosity and interest in Ye Mingsheng, did not know how to make the decision. She spent a lot of money to rent a guest room in this agarwood house, hoping to watch the swearing-in ceremony. Take a look at what kind of person the rumored Ye Mingsheng is!
While Jiang Yuyan was waiting, time passed minute by minute and came to the auspicious hour of the second quarter. When the auspicious hour arrived, the soldiers of the Ninth Division also walked out in neat steps and looked at the soldiers of the Fengwu Army. With a mighty and majestic appearance, the people on both sides of the road cheered and cast envious eyes...
In the past, the people of the Zhou Dynasty had always held a view that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not hammer nails. The reason for this view was that for a long time in the past, the corruption situation in the Zhou Dynasty court was serious. The fiscal deficit is very large, so we have no choice but to withhold military pay.
As the saying goes, soldiers eat food, and when they cannot get sufficient military pay from the court, in order to support their families, the military discipline of the army inevitably deteriorates, and they begin to bully the people. Because of this, the image of soldiers in the minds of the people has deteriorated. It became very bad, so the people were unwilling to send their sons to serve as soldiers. Therefore, sometimes during the Zhou Dynasty's recruitment, young men were often recruited.
Ye Mingsheng, who held the butcher's knife high on the side of the Fengwu Army, liquidated many moths and gentry clans that sucked the blood of the people, and snatched money from them. This also gave Ye Mingsheng the ability to pay the army full military pay and give them They received better treatment, and used this as a requirement for strict military discipline, and those who established rules and oppressed the people were severely punished.
In addition to improving military discipline, Ye Mingsheng also asked the army to actively participate in disaster relief and infrastructure within the Fengwu Army. When there was a flood in Jizhou, the first disaster relief team to arrive was the first disaster relief team under the Fengwu Army. The Third Division, with the efforts of the officers and soldiers of the Third Division, Jizhou avoided a lot of losses and casualties. In the construction of infrastructure, the Fengwu Army also did not give in and built many bridges and dams for the people... ······················
Such various actions also allowed the Fengwu Army soldiers to regain the support of the people. The generous salary and various benefits enjoyed by the Fengwu Army soldiers also attracted a large number of young people of the right age to actively respond to the Fengwu Army's call and enlist in the army. Today's Fengwu Army doesn't need to recruit strong men to fill the number. It only needs a recruitment notice to make people flock to it. Those with poor physical fitness are not wanted at all!
Although the valiant and heroic appearance of the soldiers of the Ninth Division attracted applause from the people, it did not attract the slightest attention from Jiang Yuyan. She stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the rear of the team, looking forward to seeing that person earlier. figure.
It was time for another cup of tea, and just when Jiang Yuyan's neck was feeling a little sore, she finally saw a somewhat special black dragon flag in the team. Different from the ordinary black dragon flag, this black dragon flag was not only larger in size, but , and even embroidered gold threads around the flag.
Seeing the appearance of the black dragon flag, Jiang Yuyan was a little excited, and immediately looked down at the flag.
There were hundreds of cavalry in armor under the flag. Although there were a lot of them, Jiang Yuyan could see it at a glance. The figure surrounded by stars and holding the moon in the middle. Although the distance at this time was a bit far away, Jiang Yuyan Can't see clearly the face of that figure...
But her intuition told Jiang Yuyan that that figure was the ruler who dominated the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians in the Fengwu Army—Ye Mingsheng!
The team guarding Ye Mingsheng gradually came to the middle of the venue. Jiang Yuyan watched with her own eyes. Ye Mingsheng also climbed onto the high platform that had been prepared. Ye Mingsheng, who was on the high platform, looked around and looked down at the people on both sides of the road. , seeing Ye Mingsheng looking over, the originally noisy road immediately became quiet, and no one dared to make any eye contact with Ye Mingsheng.
"Since the Luo'an Incident, the emperor has been dusted. The great traitor Shangguan Hongyuan has controlled the government and persecuted the loyal. Countless loyal ministers and righteous people have been brutally poisoned. This time, he collaborated with the traitor Xu Zhaojie to invade our Hebei and Yunhe. Although Ye is not talented, he is still willing to serve the people of the world. Get rid of this treacherous traitor and help the Zhou Dynasty to clear the emperor's side!"
"Today, tens of thousands of fellow soldiers came to participate in the swearing-in meeting of our army. Mingsheng is grateful beyond words. Here, Mingsheng also swears to the emperor and empress that he will not turn back if he does not defeat the traitor army this time! He will definitely give back a bright future to the people of the world! "
After Ye Mingsheng's words fell from the high platform, more than 20,000 soldiers below the high platform also shouted together:
"I will never turn back until I break the bandit army!"
"I will never turn back until I break the bandit army!"
Tens of thousands of people shouted with a deafening voice that reached into the sky. At this time, someone in the crowd on both sides of the road took the lead and shouted:
"Commander Ye is mighty! The Fengwu army will win!"
"Commander Ye is mighty! The Fengwu army will win!"
"Commander Ye is mighty! The Fengwu army will win!"
·······················
·······················
After the shouting, Ye Mingsheng, who was on the high platform, gave a fist-cup salute to the people around him, then walked down the high platform and embarked on the journey again surrounded by guards.
"Madam, this Marshal Ye is very courageous!"
Next to Jiang Yuyan, the maid Qiaoer who was watching the ceremony with Jiang Yuyan said in a low voice:
Jiang Yuyan, who was also shocked when she heard this, was silent for a while and said with emotion:
"If he didn't have such courage, he wouldn't have been able to bring the Fengwu Army to such a momentum. At the same time, he started a war with Shangguan Hongyuan and Xu Zhaojie. Ye Mingsheng was either an arrogant lunatic, or he was a real man of destiny. !”
Hearing the words "destined person" said by his wife, Qiao'er looked at his wife in disbelief. Feeling Qiao'er's gaze, Jiang Yuyan smiled bitterly and said with some self-deprecation:
"You little girl, you don't really think he wants to help Zhou's family, do you?"
Qiaoer's beautiful eyes blinked and said:
"A great man, how can he lie in front of so many people? If he goes back on his word, how will he face the world in the future?"
Seeing the little girl who believed in Ye Mingsheng so much, Jiang Yuyan shook her head helplessly and said with emotion:
"Back then, Shangguan Hongyuan's words were better than what Ye Mingsheng said. He was more touching and sincere, making people believe that he would become a great king and minister. But what about now?"
After the words fell, Jiang Yuyan's voice paused. A moment later, she, who was born in the Jiang royal family, had tears in her beautiful eyes and said very sadly:
"This is life! This is life! The century-long history of the Great Wednesday has really come to an end. I just hope that God will be kind and will not let my Jiang family suffer more hardships and catastrophes..." ·····················”
