The nobles of the Wu family who hated the Ming Dynasty and Jiang Yao were all angry when they heard that Jiang Yao claimed to be the "King of Ming Dynasty".

"It's just a false reputation, a humble family, but it turns out to be a strong one. It's impressive and it's a big problem for the Wu family!"

"Jiang Yao'er betrayed the Wu family and became the lord of the Western Region! Oh my god!"

"Jiang Zhongda pretended to be the King of Heaven, fabricated ancient books, and stole the Western Regions. His crimes cannot be punished!"

However, at this juncture, the main force of the Zhou Kingdom was attacking the Eastern Region. However, the Eastern Region's martial lords were strong, its territory was second only to the Central Region, and there were natural dangers to defend, making it very difficult to fight.

The battle was in full swing, and the Zhou army was at a critical moment and had no time to look west.

The Shenzhou Camp, which also had the power to conquer the Ming Dynasty, was on the front line of Taiyin Mountain, dealing with the sudden increase in troops from Charming Tapir Khan.

The Shenzhou Camp and the Ten Thousand Immortals Army were under great pressure, and they were unable to mobilize large armies to intervene in the Ming Dynasty.

Even the Biluo tribe has no intention of sending troops.

The perception of the poor family in the world is naturally very different from that of the powerful Wu family:

"Gong Jiang's meritorious service in fighting tapirs is unmatched by anyone. Why was Yu Kuan able to proclaim himself emperor, but Gong Jiang did not?"

"If Mr. Jiang doesn't proclaim himself emperor, what qualifications do those who do proclaim themselves emperor have?"

"Don't worry! Now the Ming Dynasty has taken over the fourteen states in the Western Region. It has become a powerful force. It will not be easy for the Wu family to destroy the Ming Dynasty!"

At the same time, Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei in various places also took the opportunity to expand their organizations.

The Central Territory, the Southern Territory, the Eastern Territory, the Northern Territory, and even the distant Witch Territory all had underground organizations of the Ming Dynasty.

This underground organization is called the Sun Moon Dragon Sect, which is secretly controlled by Jinyiwei and is allied with the Tianping Divine Sect in various places.

After more than ten years of development, Jinyiwei has developed the Sun Moon Dragon Sect into an underground force as large as the Tianping God Sect.

"I pay my respects to the Great Tomorrow King of the Holy Path of Guangde!"

In the Daming Palace of the Forbidden City in Jiangjing, Jiang Yaozheng looked at the ministers congratulating him with a strange expression.

He is no longer a simple Ming Wang.

But "The Great Tomorrow King of the Holy Path of Guangde"!

The title of Heavenly King was not used by many people in Chinese history. It was only used by Shi Le, Shi Hu, Fu Jian, Ran Min, Hong Xiuquan and others, and almost all ended badly.

But ginger medicine cannot be clearly stated, and this cannot be used as a reason to object.

This is not only the honorific title given to him by the ministers and soldiers of the entire army, but also by the poor families in the entire Western Region, which represents the people's support.

Originally, most people did not know the honorific title. However, since the opening of the "Da Ming Library" and the collection of classics and history from ancient times were made public, many monks in the Western Regions knew what the honorific title was and what the posthumous title was.

The history that has been sealed in dust for tens of thousands of years, and the civilization that has been cut off for tens of thousands of years, first began to be revived in the Western Regions.

This caused the civilization process of the Ming Dynasty to suddenly jump significantly and start to take a big step ahead of other countries.

The Ming Kingdom was originally the only country among the four ethnic groups and eight kingdoms that had a legal system. It had the most complete system and the most advanced system. Now it is also ahead of the seven countries in terms of culture and education.

The central power of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated in the hands of the royal court headed by King Ming. The local states, counties and counties were completely controlled by the central government.

Except for the deep mountains and swamps occupied by the martial "guerrillas", every city was directly controlled by the Ming Dynasty court. The three-level feudal lords, city lord, and lord lord, all disappeared.

In terms of culture and education, areas with relatively mature reform policies have all developed "new things" such as academies, Taoist temples, temples, and opera gardens.

Many things in ancient books have been restored spontaneously.

Especially in the Qiunan area where the reform has been implemented for more than 20 years, social civilization has been highly developed and orderly, and the imperial examination system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a common practice.

We can no longer see the barbaric scene of the past where people would kill people and seize treasures at every turn, the nobles of the Wu family would kill casual cultivators at will, violence was rampant, and everyone was in danger.

Countless people go to Qiunan every day to observe, travel and study.

Economically, the Ming Dynasty was getting richer and richer, the court's income was increasing, and the lives of the poor families were getting better and better.

The Ministry of Revenue concluded that within ten years, the fiscal revenue of the Ming Kingdom would reach the level of the Zhou Kingdom, Liang Kingdom and other large countries.

The reform brought more and more fiscal revenue, giving the Ming army, which implemented the policy of elite troops, greater room for improvement.

Even mortals have protection and are no longer slaves to cattle and horses.

As long as mortals can study and are admitted to the academy, they also have the opportunity to practice. Moreover, the spiritual rice planted by mortals will be rewarded. Mortals can also practice as long as they have the qualifications.

There are no mortals in the fairy world. The so-called mortals are the products of poisoning in the fairy world.

The huge changes in the Ming Dynasty in these years are obvious to all. The huge power brewed by Jiang Yao's reform made the Ming Dynasty unstoppable on the road to enriching the country and strengthening the army.

"As long as ten years!" Jiang Yao gritted his teeth secretly, "As long as it maintains stable development for ten years, the Ming Dynasty will be able to become a first-class power and lay the foundation for the unification of the Divine Continent!"

"I only want ten years!"

Jiang Yao looked to the west, where was the Biluo Tribe. Their strength was no less than a powerful enemy from the Western Regions.

Look to the east. There is the Great Zhou Dynasty, a big country with fifty-six states. It will take at least three years to unify the eastern regions and become the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Look to the north. There is the Northern Territory, which is the main force of the Shenzhou camp. Sooner or later, they will join the Zhou army and use troops against the Ming Dynasty.

There are also charm tapirs. In order to take revenge, they may invade the Western Region again at any time.

There are many enemies around Ming Dynasty, which can still be seen. There are also some that are farther away or invisible...

Jiang Yao recovered his thoughts and ordered: "Feng Ke, the Ministry of War is going to draft a ministry order and will no longer recruit new soldiers who have reached the level of Martial Lord Perfection."

"Within ten years, all soldiers and horses of our Ming Dynasty, except fleets and aircraft fleets, must reach the level of Wuzong. Those who cannot break through to Wuzong by the time limit will be withdrawn from active service."

All the ministers were startled when they heard this.

Your Majesty, you want to realize the transformation of your soldiers into martial arts.

Although the average cultivation level of monks from poor families has been getting higher and higher after the implementation of the Reform, it is still difficult to transform soldiers into martial arts.

The Ming army had 670,000 elite soldiers, but Wu Zong's soldiers only had more than 80,000. It would not be easy to completely realize Wu Zong's transformation within ten years!

It is not that a monk of the Wuzong can be a soldier of the Wuzong. Not one of ten monks may have the qualifications to be a soldier. Only when one reaches the level of Martial God, can one be a soldier without being restricted by military soul qualifications.

Those below the level of Martial God cannot serve as soldiers if they do not have military soul qualifications.

A strong warrior saint can easily kill a million warriors without an army, but he will be killed by an army of hundreds of thousands of warriors. Why? Because the latter has a battlefield and is not a mob.

As a unique magical power of the army, the battlefield is composed of the fighting spirit of the soldiers, the strength of the generals, and the level of military skills.

The military soul is very mysterious. There are not many monks who possess the military soul, and most of them are male monks, and even fewer female monks have the military soul.

This makes it very difficult to raise the average cultivation level of the entire army by one level!

"Your Majesty." Feng Ke had no choice but to bite the bullet and said while settling accounts in his mind:

"My average cultivation level as a Ming monk has surpassed that of the Seven Kingdoms. However, there are currently no more than 10 million Wuzong monks in the entire Western Region. Among them, there are at most 700,000 or 800,000 who have military souls and can serve as soldiers."

"Even if within ten years, the military-spirited Wu Zong can break through the million mark, not everyone is willing to join the army. So how can our Ming Dynasty expand its army?"

What he said is the truth. As the saying goes, everyone has his own ambitions. Even if soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are paid very well, not everyone is willing to join the army.

Even if the people support the reform and the Ming Dynasty, and their willingness to join the army is very high, even half of them are overwhelming.

After all, management in the military is strict and personal freedom will be lost.

Feng Ke made the calculation and said directly: "I estimate that our Ming Dynasty may only have hundreds of thousands of troops and horses by then. In addition to garrisoning various places, the available mobile troops and horses may only be about 200,000, which is not enough."

All the ministers nodded when they heard this.

What Feng Ke said is right. Nowadays, the Seven Kingdoms all have Wu Zunbing as the main force, and Wuzong soldiers are only a minority. But the king actually wants the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to be mainly Wuzong soldiers. Although this is a big move, but...

But we can’t expand our army!

The vast western region of the Fourteen Prefectures is surrounded by powerful enemies outside, and there are remnant warriors inside who occupy the mountains as kings. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are really not enough, too few.

Feng Ke continued: "So I am asking you to separate the garrison troops and the main troops. In the future, the garrison troops will still use Wu Zun soldiers, and the main troops will all be Wuzong."

Jiang Yao smiled and said: "Although what Qing Feng said is reasonable, he only knows one but not the other."

He understood the concerns of the ministers, but they really didn't know.

People with military soul proportions will change.

As the Ming army wins more and more victories and the people identify more and more deeply with the Ming Dynasty, the proportion of military soul qualifications among the people will change at a certain critical point.

Jiang Yao believes that this critical point will come soon. The power of the reform has not really exploded yet.

At that time, there will be not only hundreds of thousands of Wuzong soldiers, but more than one million!

"Soon you will know that as long as we implement the reform properly, within ten years, our Ming Dynasty will have at least one million Wuzong troops, enough to intimidate the seven countries!"

After Jiang Yao finished talking about this, he began to make arrangements to suppress the bandits.

"Shang Xuan was ordered by Shangshu to serve as the general of security and bandit suppression, responsible for killing the remnants of the warlords in the mountains and swamps."

Shang Xuan was a "bandit" at that time and was suppressed by the military clan. Now that she is an official, the military clan has become a bandit who was suppressed.

Shang Xuan came out and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, when it comes to suppressing bandits, there is really no one more suitable than me."

This female bandit leader back then was already a quasi-sage, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and a Marquis of Xuanfeng.

She is also one of Jiang Yao's most trusted ministers, and she is also Jiang Yao's numerous old friend.

Chu Heng came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have informed the Ministry of Rites that the envoys from Chu, Qi, Sui, Liang, Buddha's Mother Country, and Qing have all set off and are preparing to send envoys to our country, the Ming Dynasty."

Jiang Yao had long received a secret report from the Jinyi Guards, but most of the courtiers didn't know about it yet, and they immediately shivered after hearing the news.

"Hey, why did Liang and Qing also send envoys here?"

"The envoys from the six countries came to our Ming Dynasty for different purposes, but they came together. Haha..."

"It's really ironic. The six kingdoms of demons, demons, and witches all sent envoys to come to our Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away. But the closest kinsman, the Great Zhou Dynasty, turned a deaf ear. I'm afraid he is jealous."
