As Daning's territory continues to expand, in order to increase control over the newly occupied areas, it is urgent to move the capital.

Guan Ning had already considered it and was preparing to capture Liang and Wei in the future.

But don't be in a hurry. You have to carefully consider the location. Moving the capital is a big deal.

This was an imaginary ancient history, not the history he was familiar with. The Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains were vast and far beyond what they had ever been before.

In ancient times, travel was inconvenient and transportation was poor. How to strengthen the court's local governance was something he had been considering. However, some actual situations could not be changed for the time being, so he could only seek other strategies.

It depends on the capital of the country to be moved to.

This is just one of them.

For a vast area like the Liang Kingdom, it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to manage it layer by layer by the imperial court.

Therefore, Guan Ning decided to implement enfeoffment in the newly occupied territory, which led to the current situation.

This was a helpless move, but it was also the best choice, and it also made him controversial.

Guan Ning knows what these remarks are.

But how can it be absolutely perfect?

It was nothing more than being granted a title, but accepting charity donations was no different from selling an official position to get a title. The army officers and soldiers were the first to think about it.

I fought tooth and nail on the battlefield to be awarded a title and a fiefdom. Why do these powerful and influential families get the same treatment just by making donations?

With such injustice in their hearts, who will be willing to fight in the future?

It is normal to have such thoughts.

But Guan Ning has to do this, he needs these donations.

Only with the money and food of these people can we support the army!

The purpose of conferring the title of Navy Master is to stabilize the morale of the military and to make them understand that what they can get through military service cannot be compared to tens of thousands of donations...

Who can understand Emperor Daning's difficulties?

Traveling in this cold weather before the New Year is over, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to sleep on the dragon bed in the palace?

There is really no way.

An urgent report came from Liaoqing Province, and the morale of the army was in turmoil. Please ask Tiance Mansion to come up with measures to appease them quickly!

The original border guard army had been renamed the expedition army when the war situation turned, and it was still divided into the first army and the second army.

The lack of subdivision is for centralized command and unified dispatch during wartime.

The conquest army began to counterattack, first retaking Beilin Province, then Shangyun Province, and finally Liaoqing Province, where they are now stationed.

The commander-in-chief of the first army was Haocang, Duke of Jing, and it was he who sent the urgent report.

Hao Cang would not have sent such an urgent report unless he had no choice.

Guan Ning can also understand.

As border guards, they had been stationed at the border for several years. Then the war broke out and they fought for another five years. Even if Hao Cang led the troops well, the time limit was too long and it was difficult to guarantee that people's hearts would change.

They want to go back to their hometown!

Those who have a family want to go home, those who don’t have a family want to have a family...

Guan Ning must go to comfort him as soon as possible.

In the urgent report, Hao Cang also mentioned that Liang Emperor Zhu Zhen used a heart-attacking strategy.

He sent people to spread public opinion, bluntly saying that Emperor Daning was strict in running the army, and the army was afraid of fatigue. He did not allow rest and reorganization, and did not grant or reward him. He let it go, and even promised high-ranking officials and generous salaries to win over the officers and soldiers...

Ben is stationed in a foreign land, and his return date has not been determined, so people's hearts have changed...

When Zhu Zhen returned to the court, he began to play tricks.

This person is more difficult to deal with than his father Zhu Wen and his younger brother Zhu Zhen.

Guan Ning was well aware of the pros and cons and did not dare to delay on the journey. He did not enter the state capital and went all the way.

When Guan Ning rushed there, Emperor Tianshun of Daliang had only been back for a month.

It is a long journey from the capital of Daning to the capital back to Bianjing, the capital of Liang.

Zhu Zhen did not dare to stop along the way and returned as quickly as possible. Unlike the high-profile publicity during the trip, he disguised himself as a civilian when he returned, pretending to be a refugee to pass customs, running around here and there, and returned with difficulty.

The land of Liang has become the land of Ning.

The peace attempt failed and the two countries were in hostility, so he had to be cautious.

The officials of the Liang Kingdom and the people of the Liang Kingdom are waiting for their Majesty to return...

He's back!

At the same time, he also brought back bad news... Emperor Daning rejected his peace proposal!

Zhu Zhen hates it!

But how could he, who is good at manipulating people's hearts, let go of this opportunity?

"I begged, even prayed, for Emperor Daning to let go of the Liang Kingdom and let the poor Liang people go, but that tyrant and executioner didn't accept the peace request at all. He said he wanted to destroy the Liang Kingdom. He said

To slaughter all Liang people..."

This is what he said at the court meeting.

He even abandoned the majesty of the emperor and took to the streets, just like a storyteller saying this to the people of the city.

In his description, Emperor Daning was a tyrant who did all kinds of evil and a murderous demon!

"Do you know?"

"In the battle at Ba City, Emperor Daning killed one hundred thousand soldiers of our Liang Army!"

"He has a hobby. It's not just killing people, but also torturing them. His palace hospital is not to save people, but to dissect them, just like a cook would do to an ox, taking out all the human organs...

"

"He said he wanted to destroy the Liang Kingdom and make it a hell. He put 100,000 troops in Liaoqing Province to attack at any time!"

Zhu Zhen is extremely exaggerated!

He wanted to arouse the Liang people's resistance to Emperor Daning and arouse the people's fighting spirit.

Use sympathy to attract hatred!

He also followed Daning's example, and within a month of his return to the court, he recruited nearly a hundred people to preach the evil of Emperor Daning everywhere.

Under such relentless propaganda, Emperor Daning became a devil who committed all kinds of evil and committed murder, and became a being who could scare children into tears.
