Chapter 250 Sweeping the world and dominating the universe!
Taiyuan.

Tong Guan led his troops into Taiyuan City.

Taiyuan City is an important town in the north, but before the Jin army moved south, the Song Dynasty did not realize how important Taiyuan was, and not many garrisons were deployed at that time.

Tong Guan was very familiar with the Song army, and defeating them was like having a cheat.

But the most important thing is to have a guide.

At this moment, the guide, Shenshan Shangren, was urging the envoy to record his great contribution in helping the King of Yan to capture Taiyuan.

Tong Guan couldn't help but sigh that these seemingly insignificant martial artists could truly be a powerful force once they were used in the right place.

For example, Qingliang Temple in Mount Wutai, although inferior to Shaolin Temple, is also a famous Buddhist mountain and has a great influence in the entire Hedong Road, and this influence naturally radiates to Taiyuan.

Once Master Shenshan cooperated, his lay disciples in the imperial guards decisively defected after receiving money from Tong Guan and the hidden threats from Master Shenshan.

Then Qingliang Temple began to appease the gentry and officials of Taiyuan. With the Qingliang Temple sign, the local gentry and officials were more cooperative.

All the big and small sects in Taiyuan also followed the name of Nan Murong, the supreme master of the martial arts world, and fought together with Tong Guan.

They might not be so good on the front battlefield, but they were always successful in harassing the enemy's food supply, poisoning the enemy's water source, setting fire to the enemy's camp, and assassinating the enemy's officers.

Therefore, Tong Guan's attack on Taiyuan was extremely successful.

At this moment, he looked at the various martial artists who asked the envoy to record their merits, and thought to himself: In the past, Emperor Taizong of Liao, Yelu Deguang, once occupied Kaifeng, but was soon attacked by the heroes of the Central Plains and fled in panic, dying on the way. Could it be that the heroes of the Central Plains back then were these martial artists? If so, it would explain why Yelu Deguang was scared away. The lord was able to conquer the martial arts world for his own use, which was a great trick.

After entering Taiyuan, Tong Guan did not harm anyone.

Firstly, Tong Guan was the only one with relatively high moral integrity among the six thieves; secondly, Tong Guan's master Murong Fu's attitude towards the people was primarily protective.

Since ancient times, servants have had to figure out their masters' thoughts.

It can be said that like master, like servant.

Tong Guan tried to figure out Murong Fu's thoughts and knew that Murong Fu cared about the people, so he pretended to care about the people in order to please Murong Fu.

This is also the reason why Murong Fu's ruling group now has a bright future. Tong Guan feels that there is great room for improvement, so he is willing to give up immediate interests to pursue more long-term interests.

Tong Guan, who witnessed Murong Fu's battle with the Sweeping Monk at Shaoshi Mountain with his own eyes, was extremely convinced that Murong Fu could restore China to its glory days as they had been in the Han and Tang dynasties and establish a great empire spanning the north and the south.

The Song Dynasty has perished, and Western Xia, Dali, Tubo, and Liao will probably not exist for long. Murong Fu is like a rising star.

The only drawback is that Murong Fu has no children yet. Fortunately, several of Murong Fu's wives and concubines are pregnant and are currently preparing for pregnancy in Yanziwu. With so many pregnant women, they will eventually give birth to boys.

Tong Guan learned a lot of skills from Li Xian and naturally wanted to achieve greater things, so he was able to adjust his strategy according to Murong Fu's attitude.

After recruiting surrenders and posting notices to reassure the people, Tong Guan said to Shenshan Shangren and others: "The lord asked us to take Taiyuan. Obviously, he is not just looking at Taiyuan. We have to take the entire Hedong Road for the lord. This will be considered a great achievement. Do you have anyone in other places?"

"Yes!" said the man on the sacred mountain, "I also have people in Pingyang and Longde. It won't be difficult to help the governor capture these two important towns."

"Very good!" Tong Guan was overjoyed, "Then let's rest for a day, and then attack Pingyang."

The only big cities in Hedong Road are Taiyuan, Pingyang and Longde. If we take these three cities, the rest of the places can be conquered with just a single order.

As long as the new dynasty does not make any major reforms foolishly, the local gentry will cooperate with the new dynasty and join the maintenance association when they see that the situation is hopeless.

Murong Fu's conquest in the north was in full swing, while his troops' conquest in the south was even more successful.

The main reason is that the south is the base camp of Gusu Murong and the Ming Cult, and Murong Fu’s main troops are also in the south.

The southern states were the most severely suppressed by the policy of strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches. Each state had only a few thousand soldiers and very little money and food, and was completely vulnerable.

Even a mediocre person like Fang La could dominate the southeast, let alone Murong Fu now!
At this time, Wuyazi served as the commander-in-chief, while Wang Qingqing disguised herself as Murong Fu and continued to expand the army.

Murong Fu's policy in the north was to recruit surrenders and rebels, while in the south it was "The King of Yan says kill, kill, kill!"
The South was Murong Fu's base. It was the first to implement the equal-field system to win the hearts of the people. The bureaucrats and landlords in the South had neither strong military force nor the conditions to collude with the barbarians. Their united front value was too weak, so they naturally received the special attention of Murong Fu, the benevolent father of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Murong Fu is in the southeast, which is what the people want and what everyone expects.

All the farmers who were allocated equal land immediately became Murong Fu's die-hard supporters and joined the army enthusiastically. Moreover, many Ming Cult disciples also responded positively.

The southeastern states were almost swept away. The Xingxiu disciples under Murong Fu spread the poison, while the Xiaoyao disciples provided equipment, organized propaganda, and calmed the people in an orderly manner.

Especially when they attacked Fujian Road, Wang Qingqing, pretending to be Murong Fu, felt what it meant to be overwhelmed with power.

Fujian was the former headquarters of the Ming Cult. This time when the Ming Cult returned to its homeland, the people from Fujian led the way.

These Fujian clans are very powerful. They can often call upon their friends and mobilize large numbers of troops with just a simple call. They also have internal supporters everywhere, and there are even a large number of Ming Cult disciples among the local garrisons.

This is really a spark that can start a prairie fire!
In this way, they opened the gate of Fuzhou and entered the city.

However, after entering Fuzhou City, the disciples of the Ming Cult encountered some troubles.

"Zhizhou Huang Shang knows some martial arts, and he is guarding the yamen, so he can't get in?"

"I'll go meet him personally!"

Wang Qingqing said.

It turned out to be Huang Shang, the prefect of Fuzhou, who actually knew some martial arts and was difficult to capture for the time being.

Wang Qingqing had heard from her son a long time ago that Huang Shang was a talented person and it would be best to capture him alive.

At this moment, in the Fuzhou government office, Huang Shang was actually somewhat confused.

He had not yet compiled the Wanshou Daozang under the order of Emperor Huizong of Song, nor had he yet comprehended the supreme essence of martial arts, but he had already compiled the Vairocana Sutra, which was the great collection of the Kaiyuan Temple in Fuzhou and contained all the contents of the Buddhist scriptures.

Fuzhou was a place where the woodblock printing industry was very prosperous, and Huang Shang was a cultural person. After participating in the editing of the Vairocana Sutra, he studied Buddhism hard and even learned Sanskrit. He also gradually realized some methods of strengthening his body.

Suddenly, the city gates of Fuzhou were opened by the rebels and Fuzhou fell. Huang Shang was so scared that he subconsciously used methods to strengthen his body to resist.

Wave after wave of Ming Cult disciples were repelled by him.

However, the further he went, the more powerful the Ming Cult disciples who attacked him became. In the beginning, he could repel one person with just one move, but now he needed more than ten moves, and the Fuzhou government office was in danger.

Fifty-year-old Huang Shang also knew that the situation was hopeless, but he was still unwilling to accept it!

At this moment, a young man came over waving a folding fan.

The nearby Mingjiao disciples immediately shouted slogans enthusiastically. "The Mingzun has come to the world, the holy fire is blazing, saving the people, bringing harmony to heaven and earth!"

"The world is dark, the emperor is incompetent, but fortunately there is Murong, wielding the sword to slay the dragon!"

"Long live the Master, long live the Master, long, long live the Master!"

"The leader is invincible, victorious in every battle, sweeping across the world, unrivaled in the world!"

The person who came was Murong Fu, played by Wang Qingqing.

As Murong Fu's troops achieved great success in conquering cities in the south, and were about to sweep across the southeast and occupy half of the country, Murong Fu's personal prestige also increased significantly.

This is also the reason why Wang Qingqing pretended to be Murong Fu. When conquering the world, if the commander-in-chief is not on the scene, he will not be able to boost the morale of the army.

If the coach doesn't accept it, someone else will.

This was the case with the later Ming Cult leader Zhang Wuji. He went overseas to welcome the Golden Lion King, and fought to the death with the Sandu in Shaolin Temple. He was very successful in the martial arts world, but his influence in the Ming Cult army was solely based on his personal relationship with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

In the end, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who won the support of the military and the people and sidelined Zhang Wuji.

Murong Fu learned his lesson and went to the north himself, and let Wang Qingqing impersonate him in the south.

Wang Qingqing is his biological mother, and he, Murong Fu, is his only son. Naturally, Murong Fu is not worried that anything might happen to Wang Qingqing.

Wang Qingqing had been hiding in Yanziwu for many years, practicing Lingbo Weibu and many martial arts from Huanshi Shuige, so her martial arts skills were not bad.

What's more, Murong Fu had opened up his peerless martial arts to his subordinates, so naturally he would share them with his mother as well. Whatever martial arts Wang Qingqing wanted, Murong Fu would provide her.

Therefore, Wang Qingqing also learned many magical skills, but she did not disperse her skills to practice Beiming Divine Skill, but instead learned Xiao Wuxiang Skill.

After all, Qiu Shuimei's condition really makes every woman's heart beat.

In a short period of time, Wang Qingqing's martial arts skills improved greatly, and he even learned about 70% of the art of fighting and changing the stars. It was more than enough for him to impersonate Murong Fu.

After all, among all the leaders of the Ming Cult, there are very few whose martial arts skills are better than Wang Qingqing.

"Huang Shang, right? I'll give you a chance to surrender." Wang Qingqing ordered his men to leave and stepped forward to say personally.

"You traitors will not have a good end." Huang Shang said.

"Traitor? The Song Dynasty has already fallen! Now it's our Ming Cult's world, and you are the traitor. You talk too much nonsense. Well, I have to do it myself and take you down!" As he spoke, Wang Qingqing flashed and performed the Lingbo Weibu, flashing towards Huang Shang.

Huang Shang reacted surprisingly quickly and immediately used the Heavenly King Holding the Pagoda stance to block the attack.

"Buddhist martial arts? Interesting!" Wang Qingqing made a feint while chatting and laughing. When the others appeared, she was already behind Huang Shang, pressing Huang Shang's acupoints.

So Huang Shang was captured.

"Take the fork off and keep him under guard!" Wang Qingqing ordered.

"The leader has unparalleled power, he is invincible, he is victorious in every battle, he will live forever and ever, his virtues are both civil and military!"

When the Ming Cult disciples saw their leader subdue the powerful enemy with just one move, they all cheered.

After a while, Wang Qingqing sat in the hall and said to all the generals: "Quanzhou has the Maritime Customs Office and has been engaged in foreign trade for a long time. It is an important financial center of the Song Dynasty. It is best for us to occupy Quanzhou intact and gain control of foreign trade, so that the finances can be greatly improved. However, I heard that there is a Pu family in Quanzhou. This Pu family is not of our race and must have different intentions. Let's just wipe out the whole family!"

Murong Fu once specifically instructed that Quanzhou must be controlled. The establishment of the "Nanyang Navy", "Beiyang Navy", "Eastern Navy" and "Western Navy" must start from Quanzhou. However, there was a family named Pu in Quanzhou. They were secular thieves and a family of beasts. They must be wiped out.

When talking about Pu, Murong Fu could not hide his hatred. Wang Qingqing thought that Pu had offended her son and kept it in mind.

Her son said he wanted to wipe out the entire Pu family, so not a single chicken in the Pu family would survive.

north.

Murong Fu appointed Sikong Xuan as the garrison commander of Daming Prefecture, while he himself returned to his loyal city of Dongjing with a small number of troops.

He relied on the three strategic locations of Tokyo, Damingfu and Taiyuan, and sent troops to attack everywhere and conquer various places.

Within a month and a half, most of the northern states fell into Murong Fu's hands, and even later on, they were conquered by just issuing an edict.

This is how politics works. Once you show your advantage, you don't have to fight one place at a time. The leading figures in many places will take sides in time to avoid being liquidated for resisting.

It’s still the logic of “whoever wins, they help”.

In a month and a half, Murong Fu expanded the army in the north by 100,000 and in the south by 150,000. Although there were few elite soldiers, he had an army of 250,000, connecting the north and the south. The canal transport was reconnected, and the grain and other goods transported from the south greatly stabilized the people's hearts in Tokyo.

Almost everyone knows that the world is no longer named Zhao, but Murong.

There was even more great news, that was that after Murong Fu's continuous irrigation, Murong Yan finally became pregnant.

It was not easy for Murong Yan to get pregnant. After she became pregnant, she began to cherish her body and was unwilling to try again with Murong Fu for fear of affecting the child.

Fortunately, there was Empress Xiao Meng to take his place, and all the beauties in the harem, whether they were from Zhao Xu or Shenzong, were allowed to be chosen by Murong Fu.

Murong Fu had no choice but to sleep on Zhao Xu's dragon bed every day, play with Zhao Xu's wife, and sometimes even wear Zhao Xu's clothes. Even he himself felt that he was going too far.

However, after finding "Xi Ling Visits Consort Xiao Zhou" in the secret collection of the imperial palace, Murong Fu flew into a rage and even came to visit Empress Xiao Meng in front of the painting to avenge his sister Qiu Shui.

Xiao Zhouhou is Qiu Shuimei’s grandmother.

Sister Qiu Shui is Wang Yuyan’s grandmother.

Emperor Taizong of Song actually dared to insult Concubine Xiao Zhou. So it was only justice and retribution that Murong Fu, Emperor Taizu of Ming, insulted the concubines and beauties of the Song Dynasty.

On this day, Murong Fu was enjoying the singing and dancing of the Song Dynasty Royal Song and Dance Troupe in the palace.

He has been fighting for so long, so of course he wants to enjoy himself!
Looking at the swaying figures of the dancers, Murong Fu could only say in his heart that the emperor's happiness was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
"Foster father!" Murong Fei walked in and said to Murong Fu with a cheerful face, "Liang Shicheng sent news that 80,000 Western troops have entered Jingji Road and are almost at Zhuxian Town."

During this period of time, Murong Fei experienced what it meant to "open his eyes and see the world". The daughters of the Zhao family were all of high quality, and there were also the courtesans trained in Tianshui Lane to serve him. Murong Fei only felt how ridiculous his previous behavior of bootlicking was, but now he is extremely happy and beaming with joy.

However, he was relatively restrained, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra had greatly strengthened his body, making him still as strong as steel and not being worn down by the beauty of spring.

Speaking of which, Murong Fei still admires his adoptive father Murong Fu very much. Although he is so licentious and immoral, he is still in high spirits and looks dignified every day.

"Very good." Murong Fu smiled, "We will use a trick to lure you into a trap. Let the Western Army temporarily station in Zhuxian Town, and issue a gold medal in the name of Zhao Xu to summon the Western Army generals to the capital! Just say you are coming to the palace to receive the reward, and don't wear armor!"
