Outside the pass, the prairie.
A group of people galloped on horseback and finally stopped at the water source.
Yuan Yong got off his horse and laid down the stake with his own hands.
"From now on, I, Yuan Yong, will be the master of this grassland."
He gently rubbed the top of the stake, feeling filled with emotion.
Uncle Chen followed behind him and reminded in a low voice, "My lord, the agreed time is tonight, and we still have to hurry."
Yuan Yong turned his head and looked at the twenty or so strong men behind him, all of whom he had recruited over the years.
Tonight, he will lead his confidants to a small tribe hundreds of miles away for an appointment, and he wants to make a big deal.
"Based on this grassland, give me three years to integrate all the tribes on the grassland."
Yuan Yong has great ambitions, he wants to be the king of the grassland.
Taking advantage of Beirong's defeat, Xiliang's change of court, the empty grassland, and the imperial court's opportunity to encourage the Zhou people to enclose land as king, Yuan Yong gave up his official position and ran to the grassland enclosure.
There are people on the prairie, many people.
There are no fewer than a hundred tribes, large and small.
Although there are very few people in each tribe, as few as one or two hundred people, as many as thousands of people.
But if the young and strong population of all tribes can be integrated, it will be a terrifying force that can change the world.
At that time, he will be the king of the grassland, and he will establish his own kingdom on the grassland and overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Being a pirate will never achieve great things.
The prairie has a lot to offer.
Chen Bo said: "If the master knows that the young master will have today, he will be very pleased."
Yuan Yong turned his back on Uncle Chen, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
He didn't care about his biological father Zhou Jin's opinion and attitude at all.
In his eyes, his biological father Zhou Jin was a complete loser.
In particular, the series of operations and arrangements made in the two years before his death, in Yuan Yong's eyes, seemed like a late hero, stupid and cowardly.
…
Zhou Jin had expected death.
Before entering Beijing, Zhou Jin had already suffered from hemoptysis, and the medicine was ineffective.
In those two years, the pirates fought among themselves and fought for power and profit.
As a pirate leader, Zhou Jin knew that time was short, so when his subordinates killed each other, he did not interfere.
Instead, taking advantage of the serious internal friction and the people under him being overwhelmed with self-care, they took the opportunity to transfer the wealth accumulated over the years.
On the surface, he handed over all his property to the family.
In fact, most of the treasures were hidden by him.
The property handed over to the family was just the tip of the iceberg he had amassed over the years as a pirate.
When he died, no one in the world knew where he hid his treasure.
All the insiders were wiped out by him.
But he left clues.
Just stay in the old house in Huaian.
It was inevitable that his tribe and enemies would perceive his intentions, so he had moved his tribe out of Huai'an a few years ago.
Only a few old servants were left to guard the old house.
Make it look like the old house has been evacuated and nothing of value has been left behind.
When there was only the last half year left, Zhou Jin came to the capital without hesitation and found Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan is a smart woman, she vaguely sensed that Zhou Jin was hiding something from her.
For example, Zhou Jin is no longer so generous in spending money, which is very doubtful.
Zhou Jin is also suspicious and cruel.
Sensing that Jiang Yan was suspicious, Zhou Jin made the decision to kill and silence her.
Because he knew that Jiang Yan had been the emperor's woman, so she couldn't be an idiot. Let Jiang Yan continue to live, and the matter of the treasure may not be hidden.
This woman might follow the clues to find out the truth.
Kill Jiang Yan once and for all.
But before the murder, Zhou Jin played a play.
He found Liu Zhao and planned to surrender on the grounds that the pirates were fighting among themselves and had nowhere to go. I hope the imperial court can recruit him and give him an official position.
Then he confessed to Jiang Yan and took advantage of the opportunity to kill the woman.
In the end, Zhou Jin died in the hands of Qian Fu.
The moment the dagger pierced her body, Zhou Jin was calm and even laughed.
He was proud of his arrangement, it was perfect.
The dignified eldest son Liu Zhao was also deceived by him.
Although he died, he died in a suitable place.
The only regret was not being able to see Gu Jiu for the last time before he died.
Countless pictures flashed in Zhou Jin's mind.
At the end of the picture, the frame was fixed on the side where I first met Gu Jiu in the teahouse.
…
Zhou Jin died and his body was buried in a mass grave.
It was Yuan Yong who led people to dig up his body and ordered them to take it back to the ancestral house in Huai'an for burial.
At the same time, Yuan Yong ordered Chen Bonan to go down to silence.
Chen Bo was ordered to go south to silence him.
After finishing the work, I went to Huai'an Zhou's old house for a walk.
I didn't expect to find the treasure clue left by Zhou Jin.
Uncle Chen is the person Zhou Jin, Yuan Yong and his son trust the most, and he is also the one who is wholeheartedly loyal to their father and son.
When Chen Bo got the clue, he rushed back to the capital without any hesitation, and handed the clue to Yuan Yong.
Yuan Yong followed the clues and found the treasure.
The treasure piled up like a mountain was accumulated by Zhou Jin as a pirate leader for many years. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of gold and silver.
Relying on this treasure, Yuan Yong has been going smoothly these years.
He is smart already, and has already obtained the honor of juren.
When Da Zhou started a war with Beirong Xiliang, he used money to clear the way, successfully entered the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and got a job as an official.
With Yuan Yong's ingenuity and money, he could have shined brightly and been reused in the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ji and Chen Zhuangshi, the two monsters, also practiced in the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Yuan Yong's limelight was severely suppressed by Yang Ji and Chen Zhuangshi.
Even, Yang Ji deliberately suppressed Yuan Yong.
The two had known each other in the capital, and Yang Ji's first impression of Yuan Yong was not good.
When Yang Ji met Yuan Yong in the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he frowned, thinking that he was too good at making money, and his impression became worse and worse.
Chen Zhuangshi must support Yang Ji unconditionally.
There must be something wrong with the person Yang Ji is guarding against.
When Chen Zhuangshi thought about the problem, it was so simple and straightforward.
Yang Ji is Tanhua Lang and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. At that time, Qin Wangfei Gu Jiu was standing behind her.
With a tough background, he deliberately suppressed Yuan Yong, even if Yuan Yong had all kinds of means, he couldn't use it.
He is a man with no background other than being rich, but he can't compete with Yang Ji who has a higher position, deeper qualifications and stronger background than him.
For several years in the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Yuan Yong was suppressed terribly and never had a chance to stand out.
So Yuan Yongjian took a slant and stole Liu Zhao's marching route, so Chen Bo contacted Beirong and ambushed Liu Zhao halfway.
After ambushing several times, they all failed.
For the last time, Yuan Yong went out in person.
The poisonous arrow shot into Liu Zhao's arm.
He was excited.
He thought that Liu Zhao would surely die.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiu prepared the best detoxification pill in the world for Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao took Jiedu pills and saved his life.
When Yuan Yong learned that the operation had failed, he could only say unwillingly: "It's his fate!"
Yuan Yong, who returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as if nothing had happened, spent a large sum of money to transfer back to the capital, and found a real vacancy in Ma Zheng.
Fast forward a few years.
The imperial court encouraged the people to go overseas and enclose land on the prairie to be king.
Yuan Yong knew that his chance had come.
He asked to transfer to the Northwest Qingping Racecourse, and spent money to settle the relationship so that he could move freely.
He joined Chen Bo, led his men and horses, and began to stir up wind and rain on the grassland.
It is no longer for revenge, but to become the king, the king of the prairie, the king of the prairie to stand up to the Great Zhou.
The stakes were laid.
Thousands of hectares of grassland in a radius are all his territory.
He turned back to Uncle Chen and said, "This will be a new starting point. Uncle Chen, you have worked hard for all of this."
"My lord, you are welcome! For the great cause of your lord, you will be willing to be smashed to pieces."
"I know you are loyal. You must keep a useful body. Many things cannot be separated from you."
"Yes! I listen to the young master."
…
That night, they rode in a group of twenty or so, and stayed in a small tribe of four to five hundred people deep in the grassland.
Big mouthfuls of meat, big bowls of wine, the appearance of deep friendship.
In the middle of the night, while sleeping soundly, the flames soared into the sky.
A human head was held in Yuan Yong's hand, it was a great head of the tribal leader.
He roared loudly, "Listen up, your leader is dead! Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish! Within five voices, put down your weapon, and follow me to eat and drink. Otherwise, there will be no mercy! One... Two … three… "
The small tribe was caught off guard.
Those who dared to resist were beheaded on the spot.
Those who tried to avenge the leader in vain also ended up with their heads on the ground.
When Yuan Yong shouted for the fifth time, the young and strong of the tribe put down their weapons made of animal bones one after another, and surrendered at Yuan Yong's feet.
Yuan Yong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.
Father, did you see it
This is Wang Tu's hegemony.
Such a good boy!
What is the future of being a pirate for a lifetime!
After laughing, Yuan Yong looked at the beast bone weapons scattered all over the floor, and cursed in a low voice: "You beggar."
These weak grassland tribes are as poor as beggars.
Except for the tribal chiefs, most of them are scantily clad, men and women alike.
"From now on, I will be your new leader, and you must absolutely obey my orders. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"
The leader's son was beheaded in public.
The women and daughters are all kept and assigned to the new Naqin.
This move was cheered by the tribal people.
With the hundreds of tribal populations who surrendered, Yuan Yong embarked on his road of Wangtu dominance.
The huge grassland is about to set off a bloody storm.
