Between Liu Rong and Mu Xuan, Jiang Qin was a spoiled brat who couldn't handle the pressure from Mu Xuan. She told everything she knew in exchange for her own life.
After hearing what Jiang Qin had to say, Liu Rong's face slowly became gloomy. She didn't expect that Jiang Shu was already a county duke and wasn't satisfied. He even wanted to take the opportunity to rebel and become a king on his own!
What was even more unexpected was that Jiang Shu had already passed through the Nirvana Tribulation and reached the Nirvana Realm. In addition, he had overturned more than half of the commanders, soldiers, and soldiers in the nine cities that connected with the demon clan.
From the looks of it, if he didn't stop it in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
The military officials of the Song Dynasty were special, the lowest ranked generals were the commanders, leading an army of ten thousand people, and the ones directly in charge were the soldiers who held the military power, which was the same as Li Pan's position in the past.
Above the army, that was the true core of the Song Dynasty. It was also the general who controlled the army, and the Song Dynasty became the main force!
The main force had at least the power to control half a million troops. Even an ordinary marquis would not be able to match up to them in such a position.
However, there were only six generals in the Great Song Dynasty. One was in charge of guarding the capital, four were in charge of guarding the four sides, and there was also one that guarded the source of the Liu family in the Great Song Dynasty.
The soldier in charge of the county was the one with the highest authority. Not only did he have a million strong division, he was also the only one in the Great Song Dynasty who took Song as his title!
However, that marshal was also the most loyal to the Song Dynasty. Every generation's Song Hou was a direct descendant of the Liu family, and most of them were the blood brothers of King Song.
Apart from the soldier in charge, the one in charge of the western border of the Great Song was the one with the highest authority.
He was able to mobilize the 900,000 strong army of the Nine Cities and had his own private army of 100,000 under his command. Other than the fact that he didn't have a title, he was much stronger than any other countryside marquis.
If this soldier was betrayed, the consequences for Darchu would be unthinkable.
Fortunately, according to Jiang Qin, even if You Hou was fully prepared, he wouldn't dare to easily subdue the commander of the army. After all, he had angered the commander, and even if You Hou was a duke in the Song Dynasty, he wouldn't have any good consequences.
Mu Xuan suddenly asked, "Mother, is General Song already the highest ranked military general? Why do you place so much importance on that soldier at the edge of town? "
Obviously, Mu Xuan could tell that Liu Rong was more concerned about the Chief Officer when she heard that many powerful people in the Nine Cities had been turned against her.
You think too little of this soldier, so it can be said that he is in the hands of the five families. Of the six generals, besides the Liu family, two of them are in charge of the other four families, so each family has one of their own.
"Five Great Families? How could that be? Weren't there only three heads of state in the Great Song? Even if you include the royal family, there are only four great families? "
Liu Rong's words confused Mu Xuan.
Smiling faintly, he said to Mu Xuan, "Besides the Mai family in Langling, the other two families are in fact just empty air. If not for the Nirvana Realm, they wouldn't even deserve the title of duke. Their overall strength is not much better than those dukes, so in general, they can only be considered a first-rate power."
When she talked about the Langling Mei family, Liu Rong was obviously a bit disappointed. It seemed that Liu Rong still felt a bit of resentment towards what had happened that year.
"Huang Family, Dingtian Manor of Langling County; Rutian Marquis of Langling County, Wang Family; Mei Family, Rangling Duke of Dingtian County; Zhentian Prefecture, Zhentian Prefecture, Zhang Family; royal family, Liu Family!" These five clans are the true top-notch powers in the Great Song. However, the reason why they are called the top five forces of the Great Song, and surpass the other two Duke Palaces, is because each clan has a general troop! "
When Mu Xuan had gone to explore the crater, he had heard from Lu Tianheng that each of the five families could make the Lu Kingdom hesitate. Perhaps, there was something special about them, not just because they possessed a general troop.
Even so, there was a huge difference in the overall strength of a general troop. After all, they were hundreds of thousands of masters!
Sensing that Mu Xuan had thought about something even deeper, Liu Rong became serious as she said cautiously, "This chief guard here is a member of the Zhang Family, one of the top five forces! To a certain extent, his meaning represented the Zhang Clan's intention! And the head of the Zhang family represents the highest official position in the Song Dynasty, the Great General Zhentian! "
This made Mu Xuan completely solemn. The highest authority of a military official was the Zhang Family, and this soldier was also a member of the Zhang Family. It was no wonder that his mother attached such importance to him.
Mu Xuan was puzzled when he thought of the fact that three top powers of the Great Song actually existed in Langling County. Could Langling be so beautiful?
"Mother, why are there three top powers in Langling?"
With a shallow smile, Liu Rong explained, "Because the Huang Family and the Wang Family all those years ago relied on the Longling Plum Family to achieve their current status! "If those two Duke Palaces could lower their heads and put down their arrogance and choose to submit to the royal family or the Longling Mei Family, they would have a general army and would become one of the top powers in the Song Dynasty."
With a jolt in his heart, Mu Xuan said in shock: "So mother means that the true strongest people in the Song Dynasty are the royal family and the Mei family?"
Although she was unwilling, Liu Rong still nodded.
When the Song Dynasty was established, there was only one Nirvana stage practitioner from the Mei Family and two Nirvana stage warriors from the Liu Family in the entire Song Dynasty. In the end, they established the thousand year foundation of the Song Dynasty.
Liu Rong believed that if it wasn't for the fact that the Mei Family didn't care about their reputation and started fighting with each other, the Royal Liu Family would have lost in the end!
Slowly, Mu Xuan gained a clear understanding of the Great Song.
The Great Song was actually the Great Song of the Liu family, and Longling County was only carrying the name of Great Song. Actually, it was similar to an independent existence, but their relationship was very good with the royal family, so there was no conflict between the two.
As for the other nobles, their strengths and weaknesses were similar. Their strengths and weaknesses were about the same, but because the Zhentian Mansion and the Zhang Family were dependent on the royal family, there was a big difference between the Wang Family and the Huang Family of the Dingtian Mansion depending on the Longling Plum Family.
As for whether that was the case, Liu Rong didn't know, because women of the Song Dynasty usually didn't participate in politics. What she knew was only what was on the surface.
At this time, the bow had also taken care of nine of the Peak God of Pregnancy experts. It was panting heavily as it approached Mu Xuan with a face full of contempt for Liu Rong.
