March is the season when grass grows and flies, and Qin Feng's mood is generally good. To be honest, he is not very sad about the death of the Empress Dowager of Chu. For him, the old lady has no sign of any sign. The reason why she sometimes feels a little depressed is just because she feels sorry for Min Ruoxi.

The heartbroken Min Ruoxi set up a mourning hall in the harem and began to guard the empress dowager of Chu. In less than ten days, she lost a lot of weight. Anyone who drank a little porridge for more than ten days would become as good as a ghost in one or two hours. Seeing Min Ruoxi getting more haggard every day, Qin Feng didn't know how to comfort her.

In the end, Shu Chang came up with an idea, asking Qin Wen and Qin Wu to go to the mourning hall. If Min Ruoxi doesn’t eat, they don’t eat. Min Ruoxi doesn’t drink, they don’t drink. If Min Ruoxi doesn’t sleep, they don’t sleep, they don’t sleep, they just stick in the mourning hall.

Min Ruoxi, who felt sorry for her son and daughter, was a little cheered up. Finally, she could listen to others. For this matter, Qin Feng rarely praised Shu Chang. Generally speaking, they both fell in love and killed each other, and basically had a derogatory attitude towards what they did. She could flatter each other and let Shu Chang's tail rise to the sky these days.

For Min Ruoxi, the affairs of the Empress Dowager of Chu were naturally unstoppable, but in the eyes of the important officials of the Ming Dynasty, this was a powerful weapon to attack Chu again. Chu was worried that the Empress Dowager's affairs would make the already turbulent country worse, so the Ming Dynasty seized such an opportunity, not only mourned heavily in the country, but also vigorously criticized Min Ruoying for being unfilial.

Of course, things will not end here. Under the manipulation of those who are interested, this incident slowly fermented from the initial unfilial piety. The past was blown out one by one, from the inexplicable destruction of the Western Army to the sudden death of the family of former crown prince Min Ruocheng, to the end, the death of the Chu State's former emperor Min Wei was also spread strangely.

Min Ruoying, who was unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous, was outlined by one thing after another. The Chu people lacked favoritism for Min Ruoying, but it seemed that they only brought disasters and pain to Chu after the emperor took office. First, the failure of the Qi war, hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers died in Qi, and less than one of them returned. The chain effect brought by the Chu people fell from a prosperous country to the abyss step by step. Since then, endless labor and heavy taxes have been pushed to the Chu people to raise their heads. By now, they can no longer survive.

Faced with the Ming Dynasty's undisguised intention to launch a large-scale attack, Min Ruoying had no second way to go except for levying heavy taxes to gain wealth and forcibly conscripting troops to gather large troops.

After years of perseverance infiltration of the Ming Dynasty and the conspiracy launched one after another, it became the snowball that was getting bigger and bigger. Today, it had already swept the world. For Min Ruoying, there was no other way to go except to defeat the Ming army on the battlefield.

Information from Shangjing shows that Min Ruoying has now completely lost control. Now he has completely become a tyrannical demon god. Whenever a minister puts forward some different opinions, they are greeted by Xueliang's butcher knife. While killing people, it is also eroding the last bit of the spirit of Chu.

In the Chu State, the number of officials who abandoned their official positions and fled was increasing day by day. There were many elites among these people. Some of them sought profit and avoided harm, while others were completely disappointed with Chu State and retreated to the mountains and forests.

The chaos in Chu State is getting worse and worse, and Min Ruoying is now just ignoring it. All his energy is placed on the army. He dreams of defeating the Ming army on the battlefield.

As long as he wins on the battlefield, the problems he encounters now will no longer be a problem.

In just a short time, Min Ruoying gathered 500,000 troops in Shangjing City and its surrounding areas. In addition to the 100,000 Fire Phoenix Army, the others were either county soldiers or young and strong soldiers who were forced to conquer.

A country prospersed with one battle, and a country destroyed by another battle. Min Ruoying bet on all the national fortunes on the last battle.

"Prime Minister, Min Ruoying is just a lonely man. It seems that he also knows that I want to fight him to the death in Shangjing City. Look at the 500,000 people he gathered are all arranged in Shangjing City and around Shangjing City." Qin Feng laughed and handed the file in his hand to Quan Yun.

"He sent Wen Fuyi to Jinzhou and Jia Zhengdao to Xuzhou. They all saw no one in their lives and no corpse when they died. Guan Hongyu in Xuzhou and Suqian in Jinzhou turned a blind eye to his will. If he didn't understand what was going on, he would be a fool. At the end of the road, he could only go crazy. But he was thinking well. We will fight in the battle in Beijing. If he really defeated us here, he could indeed turn the tide."

"Does the chief assistant think he has a chance of winning?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"There is no theory. But if you don't worry about ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of if you want. The combat effectiveness of the 100,000 Fire Phoenix Army is still quite impressive. This army basically has no possibility of instigating them. You can only fight head-on with them. Your Majesty, if this battle really turns into a protracted war, I think the people of Qi will definitely not watch."

"Cao Yun sent someone to come and said he wanted to have a fight with me outside Xiaoshi City." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"This doesn't mean anything." Quan Yun smiled and said, "It's true that he talked about, but if he seized the opportunity, he would never let it go. Your Majesty, we can detect Cao Yun's thoughts by just seeing whether the Qi State will arrange heavy troops in Luzhou. He thinks that we will easily take over the capital in 100 years, so he came to Luzhou to fight for you to have a chance to breathe for Qi State. But if that one or two chance really appears, he will definitely attack us at all costs."

"The chief minister said yes." Qin Feng nodded and said, "I am increasingly unable to understand Cao Yun. Tell me, is it that he was just a manipulating the current situation in Qi? Because no matter how you look at it, he was the only winner of Qi in the end. If this is the case, then this person would be too terrible. When I think of him killing his family in Luoyang, I was shuddered."

"I don't know." Quan Yun sighed: "But all this, including the death of his family, really allowed Qi to gather together in the shortest time, and easily calmed the gap and contradiction between Cao Yun and Cao Tiancheng. Cao Yun was the emperor and Cao Zhu was the prince, and it was really a perfect match for both worlds. More importantly, Qi, which has experienced great trauma, is learning from the pain and being the most united, and we are of course the best targets for their hatred."

"Maybe we think people's hearts are too sinister? When this person crossed the capital, he had a great conversation with me. If we were both of us, he was indeed a very good person. He could make you unconsciously treat him as a friend."

"So Your Majesty gave him a lot of good things?" Quan Yun said with a smile.

Qin Feng smiled, "No matter what, this person is a good opponent. I never thought that he could easily take Qi State. Whether it was destroying Yue or Qin, or the ongoing destroy Chu State, we have never experienced a real battle and a hard battle, but against Qi State, we need real battles to seize it. Min Ruoying set up such a huge formation in Shangjing City and just let the men sharpen their knives."

"Your Majesty is saying that the battle with Qi is not only the soldiers but also the people. This is a head-to-toe battle between the two sides. There is not much room for tricks."

"So Cao Yun needs time, and I also need time. Qi State needs to work hard to govern. I want to develop the Western Regions, smooth out the pain of Chu State, and truly unite the power of the three regions. Both sides coincide with each other." Qin Feng laughed. "I am looking forward to this meeting with him!"

Quan Yun laughed and nodded.

"Your Majesty, the western region is booming. The money you invested at any cost is playing a huge role now. This is Geng Qiancheng's memorial. The return of the 200,000 Bian's military subordinates has finally improved the situation of the sparse population of Qinghe County. The water conservancy project that began last winter has played a huge role. Geng Qiancheng said that this spring sowing, millions of acres of land have been planted. In autumn, Qinghe County will definitely usher in a bumper harvest year. When the tens of thousands of young and strong men who were disbanded from the Bian's army will return to Qinghe County, they will no longer be as embarrassed as before. Geng Qiancheng can also take more time to consider the next development of Qinghe County. They are connected to Anyang. I believe that Geng Qiancheng will definitely let Qinghe County develop in a short time."

"This is also the reason why Geng Qiancheng was transferred to wherever he went." Qin Feng smiled.

"Huang Cheng of Xintong has now become a good news bird. Coke is fully applied to iron and steel smelting. The quality of steel there has surpassed Daye City in all respects. It can be foreseeable that in the near future, Xintong will definitely be the best steel base for my Ming Dynasty. Xintong is a good place. Qin was really useless and sat on the mountain of gold to beg for food. Han Kun has been devoted to raising horses for the Ming Dynasty over the years in Qingzhou. Your Majesty, Zhang's Ministry of War has always wanted to expand our Ming Dynasty cavalry, especially to build a heavy cavalry like Deng Su. We used to be poor and could not afford it, but now it is different."

"Actually, there are many restrictions on the use of heavy cavalry. I have never wanted to build heavy cavalry because it is expensive and difficult to use. However, in the future, I have to fight with Qi. Such an army can be built to use at critical moments. Since the kitten hits the wooden bell, it has found you here and successfully convinced you, then do it like this. However, it is difficult to find a general who commands such a heavy cavalry!"

"Ministry of War has long been looking at the candidate!"

"Oh, who is it?" Qin Feng said with great interest: "What the heavy cavalry wants is to move forward. Once it is launched, either the enemy dies or dies by itself. It is difficult to find such a general. Wild dogs are good, and monks can do it, but these two people cannot be the commander generals of this heavy cavalry."

"Thunderstorm!" Quan Yun said.

Qin Feng was stunned and thought about his son for a while before he remembered who Leishao was: "Is Leishao Yang Zhi's deputy?"

"Zhang Jung's Ministry of War wanted to dig a thunderstorm to be the general of the heavy cavalry, but he was worried that General Yang would be unhappy and was about to ask His Majesty to speak."
