Jia Xu picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of tea and said, "Lord, the four kingdoms under the Ming Empire, Tianxing, Tianchen, Tianfeng and Tianyun, are all countries that have been passed down for thousands of years. In terms of comprehensive strength, decades ago, our Tianfeng Kingdom was the number one in the four countries, but since Longsheng became increasingly stupid, the national strength has declined very quickly. Now the strongest of the four major countries is Tianxing Kingdom, followed by Tianyun and Tianchen. Tianfeng Kingdom has declined to the weakest level of the four countries." At this point, Jia Xu paused for a moment, exhaled and continued, "Let's talk about this Tianxing Kingdom first. Tianxing Kingdom was transformed from the old Tianxing Kingdom more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the king of the Tianxing Kingdom had two princes. The eldest prince was well-character and humble, and was the connection that the kingdom recognized.

The second prince is violent, warlike and bloodthirsty, and has a lot of scheming. Since the death of the old king, the second prince has rebelled, seized his brother's throne, and killed his brother's family. Since the second prince ascended the throne, he has established his country with martial arts. The domestic martial arts style is prevalent, the people are strong, and the soldiers' combat power should be considered the strongest among the four countries. The second prince is also an ambitious guy. He has always wanted to unify the four kingdoms and establish a new empire. Therefore, he has been preparing for war since he ascended the throne. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time. In the international environment at that time, the four empires in the mainland did not want another force with strength to become the fifth empire, so they joined forces to suppress him. In the end, the second prince could only leave with regrets."

Jia Xu slowly introduced the story of the Tianxing Kingdom: "Since the death of the second prince, his successor, the current Tianxing Kingdom, also inherited his will and worked hard to govern. He secretly accumulated strength, but the current king is much smarter. He hid all his thoughts and never endured them. Even when he planned to attack the Tianfeng Kingdom this time, he brought the Tianchen Kingdom together to minimize the dissatisfaction and worries of the Ming Empire."

"Where is the Tianchen Kingdom that day? He was so willing to get involved with the Tianxing Kingdom. Who is the master and who is the second?" Xiao Tianci gently tapped the table with his fingers and made a bang sound, and could be heard in the whole hall.

"As for the Tianchen Kingdom, the king of this generation is also a person with no ambition and mediocreness. In addition, he married the sister of the Tianxing Kingdom and became the brother-in-law of the Tianxing Kingdom. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries has always been very close. This time, he is willing to send troops to Tianfeng Kingdom with the Tianxing Kingdom. I am afraid that the king of the Tianxing Kingdom made any profits, right?" Jia Xu said lightly as he touched his long beard.

"Hmph! There has never been so-called family affection between countries. Look, I'm afraid that the Tianchen Kingdom will not only not gain any advantage this time. Even if I take myself in, I won't be surprised." Xiao Tianci smiled coldly.

"The lord is right. The king of the Tianxing Kingdom was a poisonous snake, a cobra hidden in the dark and ready to be loved by others at any time. Such a person would not care about any family affection or promises. In his heart, only his own interests are the most important. Everything that blocks his way forward will be erased mercilessly by him. Even that Tianchen Kingdom." Tian Fengyi stroked his palm and chuckled.

"By the way, Tianxing and Tianchen have gotten together. I'm afraid the Tianyun Kingdom will not feel comfortable that way?" Xiao Tianci's hand knocking on the table suddenly stopped, as if he was very interested in the three countries.

"Indeed." Jia Xu nodded slightly and said, "The relationship between the Tianyun Kingdom and the Tianchen Kingdom has always been relatively tense. There was a war between the three countries at one time."

Xiao Tianci nodded thoughtfully, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Jia Xu glanced at Xiao Tianci with his eyes. He seemed to see his thoughts and smiled: "The political system of the Tianyun Kingdom is relatively different. It is nominally a kingdom, but in fact it is composed of thirteen independent autonomous lords. Each of these thirteen autonomous lords is about the size of Tianqing Prefecture. The lord is the highest chief executive. The lord of the Tianyun Kingdom is elected by the lords of these thirteen lords. They are elected every five years, and the term of office of each lord shall not exceed three terms. The elected lords are not very powerful. If they are incompetent or cause excessive public anger, as long as more than half of the lords propose, they can be directly dismissed. The remaining twelve lords form the Senate to participate in the government's government and dispatch troops, etc. It can be said that the greatest power of the Tianyun Kingdom is controlled by the Senate."

"Damn, even this simple parliamentary system has come out. It seems that some people in this world are developing towards the so-called civilian pigs." Xiao Tianci was surprised when he heard this. You must know that the Xuanhuang Continent is still at the peak of the feudal era, and it has a trend towards capitalism. It is indeed not simple.

"But this term, the Lord of Tianyun is not a simple person. This person is called Mao Jiaying. He is the most powerful lord of the thirteen lords of the Tianyun Kingdom. This person is only in his forties this year, but his methods are very powerful. He has been straightening out the extremely complex situation in the country in just two years after he came to power. He also successfully controlled the Senate and completely turned the original loose sand into a stream. At the same time, during this person's second term, the comprehensive national strength of the Tianyun Kingdom jumped from the original third to the second place now

, which is also good compared to that Tianxing Kingdom, and the Mao family is also an ambitious person. They almost broke out with the Tianchen Kingdom because of a disputed territory with Tianchen Kingdom. In the end, if the Tianxing Kingdom had not intervened and made the Mao family afraid, I was afraid that the two countries would have been in a state of dying. Therefore, the relationship between Tianyun Kingdom and Tianxing and Tianchen is very bad now." Jia Xu explained slowly, and when he mentioned Mao Family Ying, he had a heavier tone.

Perhaps seeing Jia Xu paying so much attention to someone, Xiao Tianci immediately became interested and said, "Oh, it seems that Wenhe should have a high evaluation of the Mao family. What is this person? Do you have any detailed situation there?"

"Go back to the lord, this person can indeed be called a master." Jia Xu nodded, touching the goatee'er and nodding: "It is said that he has shown extraordinary since his birth. He started to learn literature and martial arts at the age of six. He entered the third-rate realm at the age of ten. At the age of eighteen, he joined the army of the Tianyun Kingdom incognito. He started as a small soldier and was promoted to the position of general within ten years. During the years when he became a general, he directly participated in the Ming Empire and the Ming Empire.

In that battle of the Great Qin Empire, in that battle, the young Mao family showed outstanding military talent, and often could defeat the strong with the weak, and their strategies were endless. They once defeated the Great Chu Kingdom, which assisted the invasion of the Great Qin Empire, and finally, if the Ming Empire had not resisted the attacks of the Great Qin Kingdom, they were afraid that the Mao family would have driven the Great Chu Kingdom out of the border directly. Maybe

In the end, he could also attack the Great Chu Kingdom and expand his territory. However, after this battle, the Mao family was famous and could be regarded as an outstanding military talent who was well-known throughout the continent. When Mao family Ying was 32 years old, he chose to leave the Tianyun Kingdom's army and returned to Zhongtian Leader to inherit the throne. At the same time, he formed an iron-blooded army in three years, known as the Impermanence Army, which shocked the entire Tianyun Kingdom. When Mao family Ying was 35 years old, he participated in the election of the Tianyun Kingdom and won a high vote. In the second year of becoming the king, this talented and magnificent monarch showed his bloodthirsty fangs. Through a series of means, under the deterrence of the Impermanence Army, he successfully controlled the Senate and controlled the military and political power of the entire Tianyun Kingdom in one fell swoop. He had extremely high prestige in the Tianyun Kingdom and was praised as a legend, the greatest king, etc. "

"This person is indeed a strong enemy." After hearing Jia Xu's words, Xiao Tianci rubbed his forehead and said, "I guess he was afraid that Tianxing and Tianchen will launch an attack on Tianfeng Kingdom. With this person's strategy, he will definitely choose the most suitable time to send troops to Tianfeng Kingdom to get a share of the pie."

"The lord is thinking well. Lord Jia and I have also discussed that the future war will definitely break out, and the Mao family will definitely send troops to the Tianfeng Kingdom. At that time, I am afraid that the four major vassal states under the Ming Empire will definitely fall into a great war." Tian Feng took the words and started talking.

"Well, I believe in the judgment of your two military advisors. It seems that we must seize the time now and prepare for the outbreak of the war." Xiao Tianci nodded when he touched his chin, and suddenly asked Jia Xu again: "Wenhe, what is the situation in the empire now? Logically speaking, the situation has reached this point. As for the empire, I must not want to see it?"

"Lord, the Ming Empire is indeed unwilling to see such a situation happening. After all, the four majors are domestic consumption, and they consume the overall strength of the Ming Empire. However, even if the Ming Empire wants to take care of it, they are a little powerless." Jia Xu explained: "First of all, the Ming Empire is not peaceful now. The King of Yan and the current crown prince are fighting hard and each means. The Ming Empire is now in a turbulent country, and there are constant storms in secret. Secondly, the situation this time is very special. There is a civil strife in the Tianfeng Kingdom itself, which gives the other three countries an opportunity. Once the four major kingdoms break out, it will be difficult for the Ming Empire to come forward to restrain it. After all, the four kingdoms will be in a war.

Although the great kingdoms are nominally vassal states of the Ming Empire and pay tribute to the Ming Empire every year, it will be different if it really affects the vital interests. After all, even if the strength of the empire is strong, it will be at most equivalent to two or three kingdoms. If the four major powers are really forced to target the empire together, it will probably end up with both sides. Therefore, for thousands of years, the empire and the vassal states below have restricted each other and ruled each other. The combined strength of the empire and vassal states is almost the same. Otherwise, the four empires on the mainland have long annexed the vassal states below, and it will not be a situation where the empire vassal states coexist.
