Chapter 18 first quarter

King Ning rarely regretted anything. However, this year he began to regret a little: he let Lu Yingfeng die too early. The "Three Realms Army" was originally a mob, and the combat power of the peasant soldiers was not much stronger, but there were too many of them. Since the "Three Realms Army" broke through the defense line of Yizhou, countless people joined the uprising wherever it passed, and its strength continued to grow like a snowball, and now it has spread to four states. Over the past ten years, King Ning has indeed been determined to rectify the imperial court and local politics, and relieve all kinds of grievances among the people; however, the corruption left by Lun Xiao and He Taiji is too deep, and the time spent on reform is much longer than he imagined. It is much longer; in addition, we have to take into account the various intertwined interests among the kings of the Southern Domain, and we have to make up for the military expenditure of the "King Qin" last time, so we can't use swords everywhere...

One of the more efficient ones is to use the "Dashutang" to ban the national private salt, change the original "official salt public sale" into a "monopoly system", and the "Dashutang" specializes in trafficking, effectively controlling The price of salt, and then prepare to gradually reduce the salt tax to relieve the people's hardship... ——It's a pity that it's still too late... Although the bandit army is powerful, with the total strength of the imperial court, if they attack in a unified way, they will have a huge advantage.The problem is that after seizing the power, the kings of the Southern Domain have been fighting openly and covertly in pursuit of power over the years, and there has been early dissatisfaction;

Finally, King Ning couldn't bear to hold a meeting to express his interests to the kings. "We need to be united again like before, otherwise all the hard work over the years may be lost in vain. We will become another Lun Xiao, another Ho Taiji." Only then did the kings realize the seriousness of the banditry, but the conflicts between them cannot be resolved with just a few words.After two months of negotiations, political transactions and bargaining, they agreed to each release part of their military power and assemble a large-scale army to suppress the chaos.Troops from all over the country have been mobilized one after another with Ruizhou as the assembly point, and the reunion is about to be completed.

What then caused King Ning a headache was the candidate for the "Generalissimo of Suppression of Chaos".After two major wars, the more prominent generals in the old and new regimes were exhausted, but only a handful of new stars were honed from the wars. ——And the only protagonist in the two wars also died in that dark street... At this time, King Ning thought of a candidate other than the army. Di Liuye of "Big Tree Hall".This person's overall planning ability is fully demonstrated in the management of "Dashutang"; although he has only served as Yu Runsheng's executor for a long time, he has excellent judgment and response to the situation on the spot; Steadiness and patience make up for it.

What King Ning appreciates even more is that this gangster man has rare and wonderful talents in terms of uniting subordinates and boosting morale, and also possesses an incredible affinity... These are all what this "suppressing chaos army" needs most now thing. However, Ning Wang still gave up this idea.It is absolutely impossible to persuade the kings to appoint a mafia figure as commander.Nobles are all firm believers in blood and birth, and their common hatred for Lun Xiao and He Taiji, who came from humble backgrounds, is also rooted in this kind of thinking. In the end, after many discussions, Lord Ning had no choice but to compromise and agreed to worship Huang Zhang as the "Marshal of Calming Chaos".In the "King Qin War" more than ten years ago, after the "Battle of Luyeyuan", Lu Yingfeng led the "Split Army" to attack the north with lightning, so he was left to lead the main force of the southern army to defend in Tengzhou, and continued to encircle and suppress Peng Shilong's remnants. Peng Shilong surrendered.

Huang Zhang was born as an aristocratic branch of the Southern Fan, and he was also a general trained by the Southern Army's children. All the kings had no objection. King Ning knew that although Huang Zhang had made a lot of military achievements in the past, compared with Lu Yingfeng and even Wen Zhaoyuan back then, his talent was at a completely different level.However, the "Three Realms Army" has never fought a real big battle, and its generals have not been tested.King Ning only hoped that the excellent equipment, well-trained training and experience of the "Suppression Army" would ensure victory...

In this way, the eyes of the entire continent are cast on Ruizhou, watching whether the miracle of the "Three Realms" will continue.
