According to the information system, due to frequent attacks by the Mulayi State, the Mulayi State suffered extremely heavy losses. Sheikh Umid was not young and was unable to do things.

Hammerd, the lord of the Fortress of Lambasal, convened various ministries to discuss how to deal with it and find out the real murderer. Umid was the former lord of the Fortress of Lambasal, and after he inherited the position of Hassan, the lord of the Fortress was his position as the lord.

The successor of son Hammerd is obvious that he has also become the successor of the next Sheikh, that is, the crown prince.

That day Hammerd convened twenty big and small fortress owners such as Mamundizburg, Aslanburg, Gilduchburg, Alamut Castle, Tahetashamuburg and other big and small fortresses gathered in Lambasal Castle to discuss the plan.

As the future heir to the country, Hammerd naturally treated the hospitality and tried his best to win over the princes of these local areas. However, the reality is very complicated. Not everyone hopes to be succeeded by them, so the atmosphere in the venue is not harmonious. How do they deal with the crisis?

There was a disagreement on the issue and caused quarrels, which was what Shadui saw at that time.

In fact, things are not just quarrels. There is an old Chinese saying: it is easy to share hardships and hardships; it is difficult to share wealth and honor. This sentence is like a theorem, which applies to Mulayi. As Mulayi passed through the early stages

With difficulties, strength and geographical increase, in order to maintain rule, Hassan assigned the church's ministers to various places as fortress lords, and they became the heads of the party, government and military in the region, and the de facto local emperors.

Since the land is rich and poor, and the power is large and small, not everyone can devote themselves to religion like Hassan. Under the purity of his heart, few desires and selfishness, conflicts inevitably arise within. However, as the founder of the sect and the country, Hassan

The founder enjoys a lofty prestige in the religion and among the people. He is fair and enforces the law strictly. He regards wealth as dirt, and his two sons are executed by him for violating the rules of the church. When he is alive, he will be sent to Sheikh

He handed over his duties to others and studied the teachings himself. Therefore, although the undercurrents in China are surging, under Hassan's suppression, everyone can still unite and work together to resist foreign enemies.

After Hassan's death, Umid, the second Sheikh successor, was known for his tough style and cruel methods, but after all, he was no better than Hassan, and abused assassins outside. He expanded the scope of assassination to attack political enemies; he carried out terror at home.

Rule and severely suppress dissidents; hire people to be nepotist, and those who are in charge of their family are relatives and friends. They also indulge in wine and sex, and often raise a large number of singers and beauties in the castle, singing and dancing all day long, and indulge in pleasure.

The upward and downward effect, and the castles competed for wealth and squandered their expenses. They also built luxurious houses and villas in their respective territory to attract singular geniuses and art slaves from all over the world. They set up brothels to do their best to enjoy themselves, but they no longer have the intention to organize profits.

The people's economy and production have collected tribute from political enemies, robbed and plundered sanitation. Even if they were digging canals, broadening orchards, raising camels and sheep, they still could not constitute the main source of their economic life. When they fought with their enemies,

It often destroys crops. When famine occurs, people can only eat grass to survive.

After Umede entered his old age, he wanted to pass on the post of Sheikh to his son. These caused dissatisfaction among the church members. After all, you were chosen by everyone, how could you do this? We must understand.

During the period of Layi Kingdom, the Sheikh was not hereditary, but was elected by the ministers. Although it was not the national elections of Western countries now, it was also elected by representatives. How can you do this right?

Where are you? Your son became Sheikh with satisfaction. Our family is not without a son, so how can we convince us! So the battle for power inevitably happened.

In the past, the deterrent and entrustment of neighboring countries and robbery of business travelers were naturally responsible for the rich deals. Now that something happened, many people saw opportunities. During the discussion, some people proposed to let them participate in the investigation and investigate.

Hostiles can. But afterwards, the contact station must be set up again to deal with those who have no money, which means that the interests must be shared equally. Lambarsalburg cannot eat alone or monopolize it.

Hammerd certainly could not agree with the proposal to get a share of the pie, so the two sides had a fierce quarrel. The owner of the Mamundisi, the fat man, questioned his identity, thinking that he was just a lord, but

The identity of Sheikh's heir was in slight trouble with this matter. He then issued a call to the next Sheikh's generation must follow the prophet's teachings, and the major castle masters recommended and elected.

Maimendisi Fort is one of the best fortresses in Mulayi. Its terrain is very steep. It is said that one of the principals of the Assassin faction decided to build the most steep fortress. He ordered: "Build one for me."

You can reach Tianlu, the tower of Tianlu Road." His officials spent twelve years traveling to many places in the country, and finally found a steep mountain and began to build a fortress.

The terrain of Mamundesburg is very steep, with three springs on the top of the peak, and a stream on the hillside, and the water in the fort is sufficient. The mountains are intertwined here, even the hawks retreat from the pass, and the wild beasts circling from the bottom of the mountain. This is such a place,

It is basically impossible to conquer it. In addition, the fort can be self-sufficient, with water and fields, and can grow food by itself, which can withstand long-term siege. There is a poem that describes it like this: People cannot climb its peak, birds

Nor can it be, even vultures and eagles can't do it. The climber has no hope for it, only his dog barks at the stars.

The lord of the Maimendisi Fort has such a place where you can attack and retreat as a backing as a backing, of course he is confident, and he also has the intention of coveting the position of Sheikh. He said his thoughts in a hurry. Many of the lords who came to Lambasal Fort

Some people in the country were also dissatisfied with Umede's training of his son as heirs, and joined the ranks of the ranks of the lords of Mamundiz, and Hammerd naturally had his own people among them. So the people who held the meeting were divided into two factions and had a lot of fun.

Well, the original topic of discussion has also been wrong.

The Fatty Castle Lord stood up and held his duty in excitement. Hammerd did not obey the doctrine and pointed his finger at him that he would be punished by Allah. As soon as he finished speaking, the gun in the sand pile started, and Hammerd was beaten to his brain.

The scene was killed and watched his "prophecy" come true so quickly, and the fat man and the others on the field were also shocked! The result was that when they realized there were assassins, six people had been shot dead and injured.

These people are senior cadres at the national prefecture level.

What happened later exceeded the control and expectations of Sha Dui and others. At that time, there were not only these big guys in the garden. There were also their followers and bodyguards. The one who could take on the role of their close friends was naturally their hardcore confidants. The master was assassinated

How can we give up? But the problem is that they were in the Fort Lambasal, and the fortress owners were unable to save their lives. The guards must not let them go.

Although I couldn't tell who was the assassin for a while, the most likely one was the person on the scene, and the living became the biggest object of suspicion. But those people knew they were wronged and looked at the bodyguard who was red-eyed at them.

How could the guards be left alone? Of course, there was a melee between the two sides. Some were killed on the spot, some were captured, and some escaped in the chaos. In order to chase the fugitives, Lambasal Fort lit the beacon and notified the nearby ones.

The fortress intercepted and searched for those who were running away. By chance, the sniper team that caused the culprit Sandun also surrounded them...

The 'Crown Prince' was killed in his fortress, and the lords of several large fortresses, the lords of the lords and more than a dozen small fortresses were buried with him. The shock caused can be imagined. Sheikh Umid himself

Send someone to investigate and find that except for the sword that died in the melee, several bigwigs were shot by a cone projectile the size of a thumb, and this kind of thing has never been in Mulayi and the surrounding countries.

It appeared, and after delving into it, I quickly found the sniper point.

The truth shocked and unbelievable to the big men of the "Assassin's Kingdom". They could easily take human life within four hundred steps away, and they could not do it no matter what. This must be something that exists like a god. At the same time, it must be something that a person like a god can do.

It also shows that distance is no longer an insurmountable safety line, and those assassins can take their lives at any time where they can see them, and the strong fortress is no longer a safe place.

The panic caused by the truth has not yet dissipated, and the follow-up of the incident is still fermenting. Those who died in Lambasal Fort have certain strength. How could they let it go if their family members die there in a daze?

As for the truth released by the 'Investigation Team', they did not believe that someone could kill someone at such a long distance, and the so-called God-like assassination did not catch any of them. It must be that someone intends to confuse the public and cover up the truth.

At the same time, another version of the truth is convincing. It is the oral of the escaping from the Fortress of Lambasal, who believed that Hammerd gathered many ministers and the Fortress in the name of discussing the investigation of the destructionists.

I want to eliminate the opponents who oppose himself to be the next Sheikh. It was just that the assassin he arranged the mistake of his arrangement caused him to be killed. Otherwise, why did the people in Lambarsal Fort kill everyone? This is an intention to cover up

The truth is, and the mastermind behind the scenes speaks for itself.

As a result, an assassination triggered a nationwide panic. Everyone tried to protect themselves and no longer obeyed the orders of Sheikh. Some of the relatives of the deceased sent assassins to assassinate Umede. And Umede, who has always been tough, naturally could not tolerate it.

The existence of these "rebels" also sent assassins to eliminate political enemies. Assassins from both sides fought and killed countless people, and swept many fortresses into it. The Mulayi Kingdom was in a bloody storm and its strength was

It was greatly weakened. But what is strange is that all the enemies who provoked the incident disappeared at this moment, as if they had never come...

..............

Zhao Qi, the emperor of the Song Dynasty who was in Yanjing to escape the summer heat, did not keep his own hunting and fishing. While inspecting the war preparations, he also frequently met with officials from the prefecture in the palace and took time to inspect the Beijing Imperial College and many times in the

Speech in public, warning everyone to "learning from the past and the future". Don't forget the existence of war just because peace has been achieved. There are many countries that are hostile to the Song Dynasty, covet our wealth, want to invade our country, and enslave us

The people.

The emperor's speeches everywhere quickly spread to various places, attracting attention and discussion from all parties, speculating on the political direction of the Song Dynasty, and triggering a public opinion storm. Many people wonder why the emperor wanted to disrupt the peaceful situation and cause the government and the people to go all out.

People are uneasy and advise the emperor to be careful of his words and not to speak casually. You should know that he is a golden word and a mouth may cause turmoil, but if he does not obey, he will do his own thing, and should he say it or say it.

In fact, Zhao Qi is not like this because he is a loudspeaker and likes to speak, but is consciously guiding the public opinion in society. Now he is preparing for the Northern Expedition of the Jurchens. This is a major strategic decision to lead the country to war.

We must first create favorable public opinion at home and abroad, put a reasonable cloak on our strategy, and win support from the government and the people.

As Zhao Qiong's power grew and what he knew in his previous life, he felt more and more that ordinary people could not have the ability to collect and analyze massive information, especially in this era of single communication channels. It was impossible for the people to come into contact with too many.

The real situation of military and diplomacy, and the blindness of public opinion arises. National security strategic decisions always face blind public opinion. Sometimes even contradictory public opinion, they often mislead the country's grand strategy.

The Song Dynasty failed repeatedly in foreign wars for a long time, and implemented a passive defense strategy and spared money to exchange for peace. It was by no means the result of several lack of blood and insight. The fundamental reason was that Taizong failed in the two Northern Expeditions in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

, which caused major casualties, and the catastrophic huge losses made the government and the public afraid of head-on battles and decisive actions, and adopted the policy of ceremonialism to avoid the recurrence of war.

This kind of 'peaceful' public opinion made the people and bureaucrats indulge in a peaceful life and lose their blood and courage. The weak pacifist thoughts spread throughout the court and the country, which brought negative strategies to the Song Dynasty and led to serious consequences. "Tan Yuan Zhi

"The Alliance" completely lost the courage to regain Yan Yun, and instead used money to redeem peace. Later, after the defeat in the war against the Western Xia, this policy was adopted and the spirit of enterprising was lost.

A hundred years later, in order to win the trust of the emperor, Cai Jing once again used public opinion to create an illusion of invincibility of the Song Dynasty, peace in the world, and prosperity in the country. He cultivated a trend of extravagance and pleasure, stimulated speculative thoughts, and influenced the influence of the situation.

In the judgment of Emperor Zhao Ji, he launched a war to join the Jin Dynasty and attack Liao Dynasty despite the actual situation and with the support of public opinion, which resulted in a disastrous defeat. The country was on the verge of life and death.

Later, Zhao Huan ascended the throne amid the striking peace in the court and the country, which made him make the decision to cede land and beg for peace. He also used public opinion to eliminate the six thieves who pose the greatest threat to him and stabilize his rule. And in his case,

The decisions made by the emperor in the few years were always swaying under the pressure of public opinion, and he kept changing the priests. In time, he was unable to effectively utilize the power of public opinion. He ended up breaking the city into a prisoner.

But Zhao Qiong was different. Since he came to this world, he has been using the power of public opinion to protect himself and consolidate his position. He used several paintings to make the emperor understand his situation, won the support of his father and the whole palace.

Sympathy, thus getting rid of the shadow of death. He also took advantage of the opportunity to give Queen Wang a funeral to set up an altar in front of the palace, making the bitter plan recognized by the people of the capital, and with the help of public opinion, he gained the reputation of "benevolence and filial piety", which made him

The various things he did when he returned to Beijing in the future were laid, and he would always get support from public opinion when needed.

After returning to Beijing, he beat Wang Fu and rectified several immortals and pacified Jiangnan. Zhao Qi, the envoy of Zhao, once again used the power of public opinion to gain support for his desire to rule the northwest, and was able to complete an important part of his plan. After gaining power,

He can manipulate the power of public opinion to serve himself, portray himself as a tragic hero who is willing to kill thieves but unable to turn things around, create a political environment that is beneficial to him, and eventually gain the support of the people of the Northwest, and gradually reach the peak of power.

Through success operations, Zhao Qiong found that public opinion was changing, and public opinion would be reversed due to one or two very intuitive events, which would affect the country's strategic determination. And the public's recognized enemy may not be from the perspective of national interests.

If it needs to be dealt with first, Zhao Qiong temporarily stopped attacking Jin in order to obtain copper and turned his strategy to Dali, and it was difficult to gain public support. Instead, he opposed the emperor's dispatch of troops to interfere in a country that was very respectful to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Qiong

The illusion that the Dali civil strife caused the death of the Song Dynasty's merchants and the economic damage was severely damaged, which changed the direction of public opinion.

Zhao Qiong was also defeated by public opinion. In the war to aid Goryeo, when he decided to use the good situation at that time to launch a full-scale war against the Jin Dynasty, this was in line with the strategic and fundamental interests of the Song Dynasty, and it was also a rare opportunity, at least it could be weakened again.

The power of the Jin Kingdom should also be supported in public opinion. However, Wushu took advantage of the sympathy of the Song Dynasty and the opposition to the late emperor and sent people to ask for peace and promise to release Zhao Huan to end the war, which made public opinion turn suddenly.

Many people supported the war against the Jin Dynasty. In addition to hatred against the Jurchens, they also had the shame of rescuing the late emperor back to the abducted Emperor Yixue, which was not strategically considered. Now the Jurchens are already scared and are willing to cede land and pay compensation.

It was agreed to release the people again, and the Song Dynasty did not need to start a war aggressively to show the style of a country of etiquette. If he did not agree, it might lead to the murder of the late emperor, and the crime was great. The public opinion pressure formed by this mentality

Zhao Jie made a decision that was contrary to his strategic judgment, and agreed to the Jin Dynasty to seek peace and give up the war.

After achieving peace with Jin, it not only determined the strategic direction of the Song Dynasty in the following years, but also caused the tiger to be raising, allowing the Jin Kingdom to recuperate and recover. The more serious consequence is that the idea of ​​peace in the world rises again, and people do not want to be reborn again.
