Chapter 89 Follow-up
"Okay, now that I'm here, I always say that the matter is not irreversible;" In the end, Jiang Tian still comforted in a gentle voice: "What's more, your determination and decisiveness in the end also made me quite admire If not, you and I may not be able to meet again so soon."

"Actually, Man'er is very afraid of pain. It's just that I really don't want to let those people succeed; but when I think of the stories about the characters my ancestor told me, I don't feel so frightened and nervous."

The little round face finally raised her tearful eyes, some Hao Yan whispered:
"In any case, you have done your best, and the rest is far beyond the control of personal will"

Jiang Tian continued to appease:
"Then..." Xiaoyuanlian couldn't help but said again: "Old Ancestor, do you think Man'er killed too much?"

"It depends on what angle and position you look at. Although killing people can't solve most problems, it can solve the people who caused the problems!" Jiang Tian said meaningfully after hearing the words: "Next, you Are there any other obstacles, such as disobedient and inconvenient candidates, need my help to solve one or two? Now that I have made a move, there are not too many more."

"Thank you, ancestor, Man'er thinks that killing during the day is enough; next, it's up to Man'er's own methods and countermeasures!" Xiaoyuan's face was quite firm and she shook her head gently: "Besides, after all, it's broken. In the face of the country's foreign enemies, it would be good to preserve more of our strength."

"Well then, let's not talk about such a disturbing thing. Let's communicate in another place." Jiang Tian smiled relieved and gratified in his heart, and turned to him: "I don't know if Xiaoyuan is afraid of heights, Are you interested in seeing different scenery with me?"

"Afraid of heights? Shouldn't it be?"

The little round face turned his head in a daze and said uncertainly:

And the next moment, on Xiaoyuan's face, he suppressed himself desperately, and almost blurted out an exclamation.In the meantime, she hugged Jiang Tian's waist tightly like a koala; after a few leaps and bounds, she came to the tallest tiled roof of the main building.

Then, they just leaned against each other without speaking, feeling the heartbeat of the little round face calmed down from the agitation.Quietly watching the moonlight gradually cast out of the clouds, the lights of thousands of families shone like stars under the light, and many city walls and buildings that stood silently like frost.

Sitting on the towering ridge for a long time, feeling the night wind slowly blowing in, and the faint noise of fireworks in the wind; the little round face firmly fixed in Jiang Tian's arms finally He opened his mouth again and said:

"Old Ancestor, I'm much better."

"Next, tell me about the current situation you know! Let's start here in Kitahara Kyoto."

Jiang Tian nodded slightly:

"It's the ancestor. All of this starts with the establishment of the whole country in Haidong..."

The little round face let out a sigh of relief and said:
As one of the vassals of the Celestial Dynasty, Xinghai Dongdao/Haidong Kingdom actually inherited the foundation of the old Silla Kingdom; it followed the "Zhou Li Xinyi" that established the vassal princes of the Celestial Dynasty, and abolished the notorious traditional bone product system. The product that gradually replaced it from top to bottom.

All aspects of politics, economy, culture and education have been synchronized with the localization; however, many old remnants have been retained, and the lower the level, the more obvious it is.For example, the titles and structures of the village owner, township leader, town chief, and city owner are the product of a disguised compromise with them;
Therefore, after long-term evolution, a dual system has been formed in which state-owned bureaucrats and surrounding people in prefectures, counties and cities coexist for a while with many large and small vassal princes in rural areas, and their subordinates, vassals, and leaders.During this period, a large number of native settlements and mountain people were mixed.

Among them, Wang Ji and Wu Xiaojing's status is particularly special.It is not only the direct leader of the Xue family, but also maintains and trains enough standing troops to monitor and pacify the states where it is located, and at the same time adjudicate and mediate conflicts between the various clans.

Therefore, this kind of system can operate smoothly in peacetime, corresponding to some minor civil upheavals, turmoil, or conflicts and rebellions among the vassal princes; but once a large-scale foreign enemy invades, it will be revealed The other side of the hip-pull is gone.

It’s just that compared to Wangji Jincheng, the ruling center, or the ancestral temple with important political significance, Zhongyuanjing where Tianling Holy Mountain is located; or Jinhaijing, where wealth from sea and land gathers; The base camp of half of the naval forces - Nanyuanjing;

Originally, it was Beiyuanjing, which commanded the towns in Bibian and regularly conquered and defended all ethnic groups from outsiders; also because of the long peace, it has long since evolved into a disguised place of exile for the losers and frustrated people of Wangji's political struggles.Therefore, it is not surprising that people of all kinds who have an anti-system tendency have gathered here as a soil.

The little round face who lacked sufficient preparation in advance, just jumped in like this, and was not hesitating to throw himself into the trap.However, compared to Kim Hae-kyung, Namwon-kyung, and Wangji who had fallen to the Fusang Army, Seo-won-kyung, which was occupied by the Baekje rebels, and Zhongyuan-kyung, which lost contact with the Maitreya rebellion.

The only remaining Beiyuan capital also has an advantage, that is, its military equipment is actually the best among the five small capitals.On the one hand, this is due to the relatively strong folk customs in the northern border, and the frequent conflicts among local vassals, subjects, and tribesmen, which require long-term use of force to suppress them.

On the other hand, it is Beiyuanjing's standing military source, a large part of which comes from military households in Bibian and various ethnic groups in Jiji; there is even a tradition of regularly convening volunteers (in the nature of employment) to join forces; so in the southern and central states that have been occupied one after another Under the buffer, different degrees of preparations were carried out.

Therefore, the current armed forces in Beiyuan Beijing can be roughly divided into several major parts.First of all, it belongs to Wuxiaojing, the guards of the five halls in the front, back, left, and right sides, and the rear army in Beiyuan Jing has about [-] armored soldiers from the five capitals, and it is also the military force on duty to guard the palace.

Most of the soldiers come from the princes around Beiyuanjing, those many subordinates and vassal families who are directly under the Xue family, compared with the nobles and relatives of the middle land, the family generals are first-class people, etc. .

The daily life belongs to Zhang Guangbi, the Queen's General who was killed by Feijian without saying much in the meeting.Zhang Guangbi was born as a general in Bibian Army Town, and also worked for the Five Palace Guards; he has been operating there for several years.Therefore, the influence on those soldiers is extraordinary.

If it wasn't for all the confidantes, they were all killed in a face-to-face meeting, and there was only one leftover. Don't use Ye Jing on the spot; it's hard to say whether these palace guards will continue to obey when things come to an end. There is only the legendary Jian Guo Shizi in his life.

The second is Yuanzhou, where Beiyuanjing is located, and the Yuanzhou garrison army under the jurisdiction of Zhou Mu Chen Jingtai.Chen Jingtai was born in the Chen family of Xiongzhou's rich family. He served as a specially selected official in several dynasties.

The daily number is about [-] to [-], but in terms of armor equipment and training, as well as the quality and integrity of the soldiers, it is far inferior to the guards of the rear army.At the same time, they are also the main force stationed at the gates of the city defense.

Immediately afterwards, Li Bi, the Shaoyin of Beiyuan, who was born as a minister of the Xue family but was sent here in the early years, and his bandits and patrol teams, as well as the bow and arrow clubs (county soldiers) compiled and trained by many farms outside the city; To maintain the daily order of the town and the country.

In the end, it is the leader of the forced palace that needs to be described in detail; Shi Mihong, the left-behind minister of Beiyuanjing.As the left-behind minister of Beiyuanjing, although he did not specify his subordinates and official affiliation, he had the power to supervise the integration of the military and government on behalf of the office;

And Shi Mihong himself is also a senior official from the Xue family. It can be traced back to the Taixing period. He fought with the first ancestor Xue (Song) Pingyang on the Nine Sides, and escorted the founding ancestor Xue (Cong) Wuwei to enter Silla; Therefore, he is also the patriarch of one of the great clans of Hanzhou;
Under his name, he owns a vast mansion spanning the three counties of Fuping, Tieyuan, and Tushan, with a size of about eleven cities; therefore, in addition to the routine [-] long guards, he also has mansions of different sizes from the three counties. Private family soldiers, responsible for protecting his home and relatives in the city.

Therefore, when he, his cronies and the leaders of his retinues all died in the front hall of the branch ancestral temple.The people who reacted the most fiercely on the spot were also from the long-term guards he brought; and when the five queens followed suit and began to gradually wipe out the whole city, they were also the ones who resisted the most in his mansion.

Even after the guards, robbers, and patrols stationed at each gate surrendered and accepted orders one after another.These family soldiers hiding in Shi's mansion not only desperately resisted and repelled several waves of attacks, but also took the initiative to attack under the leadership of his wife and children in leather armor;

Then Xiao Xiao used his strengths to unite the guards of the surrounding official residences and mansions into one unit to attack the north gate.By the time Ye Jing, who was temporarily entrusted with important tasks, personally led the team to intercept and kill, a small number of people, including his second son, took the opportunity to escape from the city.

But in any case, the biggest crisis in front of us has passed; and new challenges and opportunities, as well as more hidden dangers and threats, are also gestating.

"Next, I will continue to test you one or two." Jiang Tian continued: "Specific analysis of specific issues, now in this huge Beiyuan capital, who is your enemy, who is your subordinate; who is The power that can be won, who is the potential help, and who is the target that needs to be resolutely attacked and eradicated?"

　This one was from last night, but it's only been fixed now
