Chapter 537 Do you want to rebel?
As Lin Feng spoke, he pointed at the map.
"Let the four prefectures of Zhenxi, Dingyuan, Sanjiang, and Shanglin form a complete area with Tianzhi Prefecture."
Hu Jincai and others were stunned when they heard this.
"Boss, you are going to..."
Lin Feng sighed, "I don't want to waste time with them like this. They have patience, but I don't. Let's develop the agriculture and economy of these places first."
Zhao Shuo asked nervously, "Brother, are you going to rebel?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm worried about the development of the Dazong clan. Years of war have caused great suffering to the people. Don't you see it? Or did the officials of the court not think of it?"
Everyone stared at Lin Feng in a daze.
"Nothing special. My ideal is very simple, which is to ensure that the people have food to eat, a house to live in, clothes to wear, and land to farm. That's all."
Several people finally understood Lin Feng's intention and nodded slowly.
Lin Feng pressed his hand on the map.
"I just want to provide ordinary people with a stable living environment. Is that difficult?"
Hu Jincai clapped his hands and said, "Okay, we'll do whatever the boss says. No matter how difficult it is, I'll go and take over Sanjiang Prefecture right away."
Lin Feng nodded: "Well, be careful."
Hu Jincai bowed and said, "Boss, I know. Safety comes first."
After saying this, he bowed and turned to leave.
Wei Bao also bowed and walked out of the house quickly.
Zhao Shuo blinked his eyes and said, "Brother, there are still Tartars in the northwest of the town? Should we just ignore them?"
"Haha, Tie Zhenren's Dadur City is guarded by Tao Jinwang, and I've given Baruxishi City to Nalan's Kuro Clan. Master Tie Zhenren can't come over."
"Ah? Nalan rebelled?"
Zhao Shuo widened his eyes in surprise.
"Don't keep saying you're against it. The Iron Emperor Court is no longer able to control the numerous tribes on the grasslands. Now they are almost independent and vigorously developing their own ethnic groups."
Zhao Shuo raised his thumb and said, "Brother, you are amazing. If we let them govern on their own, the Tiezhen tribe will no longer be able to invade Zhenxi from the south."
"The main thing is that we defeated Tiezhen's elite troops. Although we don't have time to continue north and make Emperor Tiezhen bow his head, this result is not bad either."
Lin Feng leaned back in his chair and twisted his stiff neck.
Zhao Shuo stood aside, head down, thinking about something.
In the capital city, King Fu received the news from Tianzhi City and was suspicious and confused.
"Mr. Lan, what exactly does this Lin Feng mean?"
Lan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, Lin Feng wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."
Miao Changfeng said in shock: "He wants to see us both lose, and then..."
"I'm afraid he has big plans..."
Prince Fu said with a sullen face, "Humph, a young boy with such a big heart. Not everyone can rule the world if they want to."
Lan Yu stroked his beard. "So far, Lin Feng has already taken over Tianzhi, Shanglin, and Dingyuan, which are connected to Zhenxi. The next step will definitely be to take over Sanjiang Prefecture. Once all five prefectures are connected, it will be considered quite a significant force."
Prince Fu sneered: "He may have occupied the land, but the officials in each prefecture are all selected through the formal imperial examination. Orthodox ideas are difficult to change. This world is still the Zhao family's world."
Lan Yu shook his head worriedly. "Your Majesty, the policies Lin Feng is implementing in Zhenxi are different from others. The imperial examination system selects common people with real talent and knowledge, and the textbooks used in the examinations are no longer traditional subjects."
"You mean, he wants to replace all officials with common people?"
"No, he chose officials who have real talent and knowledge and are wholeheartedly concerned about the people."
Miao Changfeng laughed and said, "It's just wishful thinking. Without the support of the aristocratic families, how can we maintain our power?"
Lan Yu still shook his head: "All the noble families in Zhenxi were wiped out by Lin Feng."
The room fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
At that time, Lin Feng chopped off the heads of the three major families in Zhenxi, and this incident caused a sensation in the entire clan.
Now that I think about it, Lin Feng really wants to do this.
King Fu took a deep breath.
"Will he be able to do this?"
"Whether it will succeed or not is hard to say, but the results are clear: the people are prosperous, the economy is developing, and the military is strong."
Lan Yu said slowly.
He admired Lin Feng's approach from the bottom of his heart. He thought of things that others dared not think of and did things that others dared not do. He was indeed a hero who got things done.
After thinking it over again and again, Lan Yu said to King Fu.
"Your Highness, judging from various signs, Lin Feng really doesn't intend to interfere in the battle for Kyoto. Why don't we seize this opportunity to capture Kyoto City as soon as possible? Once Your Highness ascends the throne and becomes the legitimate heir of the great clan, we can suppress him both militarily and politically."
"Yes, that makes sense. Pass on my orders. Su Zhongwang leads 20,000 troops to retreat to Lindu. Niu Xiangqian returns to the Jingdu Acropolis and fully supports Luo Yunfei and Qiu Jie in attacking the Acropolis. I want them to capture the city within ten days!"
King Fu was also a decisive person, and he immediately gave orders loudly.
The messenger bowed and said yes, then quickly turned around and ran out.
In front of the Kyoto Acropolis, which had been silent for a long time, the rebels suddenly increased the intensity of their attacks.
For a moment, soldiers were in chaos both inside and outside the city, and the battle instantly became fierce.
Grand Tutor Wan and other commanders all looked confused.
What's going on? What's wrong with the rebels?
The siege began so madly.
Jiao Sanqiang, his face covered in dust, hurried to Master Wan's command center.
"Grandmaster, the rebels' attack is too fierce. Our army has suffered heavy losses and is about to collapse."
Grand Tutor Wan immediately shouted, "Wei Ming, mobilize 5,000 men from your army to assist in the defense immediately."
Wei Ming did not dare to hesitate, and quickly agreed and passed the order on.
The situation in the command center also became tense.
Soldiers from Ju Chaoyue's army also ran over and shouted loudly.
"Report, General, the rebels are coming to the city..."
Grand Tutor Wan turned to Zhao Wenqi and shouted, "Go and coordinate the troops. We will drive them out of the city no matter how hard we try."
Zhao Wenqi cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Grand Master. Even if they all die, I will bite off a piece of their flesh."
All the soldiers took action, and a desperate battle reached its climax.
In Kyoto, Prince Rui received an emergency letter from Grand Tutor Wan, requesting the mobilization of 20,000 imperial guards in the city to assist in the defense of the Acropolis.
Prince Rui was sad for a while. In such a huge city as Kyoto, it was impossible to maintain order by relying solely on constables and yamen runners.
Seeing the war breaking out, the people were horrified.
There are too many unstable factors in the city. If they are not checked immediately, it will lead to a disaster.
The 20,000 imperial guards barely managed to suppress the situation in Kyoto. If they were transferred away, chaos would be inevitable.
However, the Acropolis is the gateway to Kyoto. If the city is breached by the rebels, there will be no need to reassure the people.
It’s best to just run away.
"Alas, stupidity has ruined the country..."
Prince Rui Zhao Xun was at a loss and could only sigh that this was the end of the world.
"Lin Feng...Alas."
Prince Rui wanted to say something, but he couldn't continue. He knew that Lin Feng was not to blame.
The inner courtyard of the palace seemed quiet on the surface, but in fact many people had already started packing up their things in secret.
