Early the next morning, Su Yuan continued to preside over the excavation work.

Thousands of people continued to dig down along the entrance of the cave. In order not to delay the ascent and descent, they built steps next to them. Su Yuan was standing on the steps at the moment.

He looked down at the inside of the snake cave. Yesterday, it was still bottomless. Today, as the excavation progress increased, he could vaguely see the bottom.

You can see that there is a shiny thing underneath, but I don't know what it is. And the headless body of Yamata no Orochi is currently coiled around the shiny thing.

When the warriors in charge of digging saw the big snake below, their movements became a little slow, fearing that the headless snake might suddenly attack.

Su Yuan was not worried. He estimated that this guy was already on the verge of death, and it was not certain whether he could move or not. His head was cut off before, and his efforts to escape were already at their limit.

"Commander, how about I use C4 to blow it up again?" Tanya asked. As the day passed, her C4 bomb had already produced a new one.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan said yes and asked everyone to move away. Tanya threw the bomb down, and then exploded with a "bang", and everyone felt the soles of their feet tremble a few times.

Those Eastern Japanese warriors were all extremely frightened. They did not know what kind of terrifying weapon the Bei'an Army had. Judging from its power, it was really terrifying.

If there were a small number of people who had a lucky mentality and a rebellious mentality before, almost all of them gave up after witnessing the power of this bomb.

"Master, the big snake's body was blown and bleeding." Mei Jian looked into the cave.

Su Yuan saw that the big snake was still motionless after being sprayed with blood, which most likely confirmed his suspicion that this guy had no fighting ability.

"Keep digging, the big snake is dead!"

When the warriors saw that the big snake was indeed unmoved after being bombed, the fear in their hearts receded and they continued to dig.

After digging for more than half an hour, we finally reached the bottom. The body of the big snake was almost as tall as the warriors.

The god Qianle Reimu in the crowd couldn't help but look up. The distance was very high from the ground, but it was not out of reach.

For hundreds of years, the Shen Qianle clan has always thought that this snake cave was a terrifying bottomless pit with no end. However, they actually dug it and found out that they had dug it to the bottom in less than two days.

Su Yuan was staring at the big snake, or to be precise, at the shiny thing on its body.

It was like a piece of crystal, the size of a fist, with light orange light emitting from the whole body. Just looking at it made people feel relaxed and happy.

Could it be some kind of treasure? Is the ability of the big snake to revive related to it?

Su Yuan thought in his mind and asked a master of martial arts to take out the crystal.

The master of martial arts jumped up, jumped on the big snake, swung the long whip in his hand, and the tail of the whip hooked the crystal. He pulled hard with his wrist, and the crystal immediately flew down.

At this time, the big snake's headless body suddenly trembled.

Everyone thought it was going to attack again and immediately took precautions.

Unexpectedly, after the body trembled for a few times, it stopped moving completely, emitting a strong fishy smell... Visible to the naked eye, the remains of its body were rapidly decaying and deteriorating...

"This must be completely dead, right?" Su Yuan saw the change in the big snake and asked the god Qianle Lingmeng.

The latter was a little stunned. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "Well..."

"Let's go up first. Let these warriors carry the body of the big snake up."

"Ah?" Lan Jian was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Master, this guy is already dead, why are you lifting him up?"

"We know that we are dead, but the people of Naijing don't know. Let them know that we killed the monster, and then they will be grateful to us and afraid of us."

Su Yuan didn't hide anything and revealed his thoughts in front of everyone.

Indeed, if you don't let the people see the snake's body and just say you kill it, it won't be convincing enough.

Only when they see the corpse with their own eyes will ordinary people understand how terrifying this monster is, and how terrifying the Bei'an Army is who can kill this monster.

Su Yuan asked Li Yuanba to hold the crystal first, and the group returned to the ground along the stairs.

As for the hard work of carrying the snake's body, it was naturally left to the coolies of the shogunate samurai.

As soon as he returned to the top, Su Yuan asked Li Yuanba: "Yuanba, how do you feel when you hold this crystal?"

It took less than half an hour to go from bottom to top. Li Yuanba kept holding the crystal in his hand. He nodded and said: "I feel, I feel stronger!"

really……

When Su Yuan saw this thing, he guessed that it must be a treasure.

At present, it seems that its effect is firstly to increase physical fitness, and secondly to repair the damage suffered by the biological body.

The so-called "resurrection" of Yamata no Orochi is just because of the special effect of this crystal.

The martial arts masters who were traveling with him were all very excited when they saw the crystal in Li Yuanba's hands.

"It must be a fine treasure!"

"I heard that hundreds of years ago, someone got a thousand-year-old ice lotus. After making an elixir and swallowing it, he gained a hundred years of skill in just a few days! Isn't this also that kind of treasure?"

"I think this is stronger than the thousand-year-old ice lotus! Don't forget that it can heal injuries! That beast's head is gone, but he can still survive even if he sticks to it."

"That's true!"

The masters in the world are very envious, but no one has the idea of ​​coveting him.

They all knew that if this thing appeared in the world, it would definitely cause a bloody storm. But in Su Yuan's hands... there is probably no one who is not smart enough to dare to snatch it.

Su Yuan looked at the crystal and was also very curious.

But he didn't touch it rashly. Unlike Li Yuanba and others, he only had internal strength and no martial arts. It would be bad if something went wrong.

Moreover, as a modern time traveler, he was a little worried that this thing might be some kind of special ore, and its effects were also caused by radiation.

This kind of radiation might have side effects, and until he knew it, he didn't plan to expose himself to it.

"Is there any record of this in your clan?"

Su Yuan asked Reimu Kaminaku, who was born into a clan of witches that had lasted for hundreds of years. He must know more about these mysterious things than ordinary people.

However, Shen Qianle and Lingmeng were in a daze state again and did not hear Su Yuan's question. She had been in a daze several times today and only got out of consciousness after someone called her.

"What?"

"...Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back."

Carrying the crystal back to the Daming Palace, there were more and more Naijing people along the way.

After Qi Jiguang ended the military status in the city, the people's production and life have initially resumed. It may not be that fast to fully recover. After all, there is still a huge question lingering in the hearts of the people in Naijing.

So where will the Eastern Japanese go?

Su Yuan's decision to make Dongbo a vassal state of Bei'an has not yet been made public. He only told the same god Qianle Reimu.

As for the latter, he has been worried since he was asked yesterday if he would like to be a daimyo.

After Su Yuan asked yesterday, her first reaction was shock, and then she wanted to refuse.

She is a famous person? How is that possible...

There has never been a female daimyo in Dongwa. Moreover, she doesn’t know much about national affairs and has not received training as a ruler. How can she be qualified?

But Su Yuan told her at that time not to rush to reply, but to think about it carefully.

Throughout the night, Shen Qianle Reimu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking about this problem.

To this day, she was deeply moved when she saw the big snake die.

For so many years, neither the Kami Chiraku clan nor the numerous shogunate officials in Naikyo have thought of digging through the snake hole and completely killing the Yamata no Orochi.

Why is this? If hundreds of years ago, everyone had done what Su Yuan did and sent a large number of manpower to dig, then the big snake might have died long ago, and there would not be anything like today.

The descendants of Orochi will no longer dream of resurrecting their ancestors, nor will the Shen Qianle clan be almost wiped out because of this incident, leaving her alone.

In this incident, she was deeply impressed by Su Yuan's courage and persistence. She finally understood that there was nothing that could be changed about Dongbo becoming a vassal state of Bei'an.

In that case, as a daimyo, would she be better able to safeguard the rights and interests of the Japanese people?

If we change to another daimyo who does not value the rights and interests of the people of Eastern Japan, then for the people, it would be worse for her to be the daimyo.

Kami Chiraku Reimu thought about it all the way, and when he returned to the Daming Palace, he had already made a decision.

She finally said to Su Yuan: "I am willing to accept the proposal and become the new daimyo of Eastern Japan!"

Su Yuan saw the determination on her delicate face and knew that she had thought it through clearly, so he nodded and said, "That's good."

Kami Qianle Reimu is willing to be a daimyo, which saves Su Yuan a lot of trouble.

His intention to turn Eastern Japan into a vassal state of Bei'an does not mean that he will eliminate all Eastern Japan culture, and the position of daimyo will not be abolished.

It's just that the power held by this man will definitely be greatly reduced than before.

What really needs to be abolished is the shogunate.

The shogunate is the real military leader of Touwa. Abolition of the shogunate and not allowing Touwa to form its own samurai and Ashigaru regiments would be the most fatal blow.

In this way, when all the military force is provided by the Bei'an Army, the Eastern Japan can no longer cause any trouble. What's more, the candidates for the daimyo will only be appointed by Bei'an from now on.

It would not be wrong to say that he is a puppet, but an ambitious man will definitely not be able to occupy this position again.

Later, Su Yuan asked Shen Qianle Lingmeng again and asked her if she knew the record about the crystal.

Kami Qianle Reimu thought hard for a long time, looked through the library in the Daiming Palace, and finally found a record.

The record is that more than two hundred years ago, a storyteller traveled throughout the Eastern Japan and collected folk tales, and finally compiled them into a collection of folk tales, similar to Fang Wu Zhi.

In this collection of stories, there is a story that the storyteller heard from an old man in a village in the mountains.

The old man said that many years ago, there was a child in the village who picked up a luminous stone and couldn't put it down. Later, the child went to the river to play for fun and accidentally drowned.

When the child's family buried him, they could not afford a coffin, so they just wrapped the child's body in a straw mat and put the luminous stone into the straw mat.

A few days later, when the family was eating, the child suddenly ran back... The whole family was frightened, and then the whole village became a sensation because the child had come back to life.

Some people speculated that the luminous stone picked up by the child was a sacred stone. Therefore, many people in the village fought for the stone and fought, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

Later, the sacred stone disappeared. It is said that a villager snatched it and later sold it to a big shot in Naijing, turning him into a rich man.

The description of the sacred stone in the story is "concentric in size, warm, and glowing with marigold light."

This description is very similar to Su Yuan's acquisition of this crystal.

"Could this crystal be the 'sacred stone' in this record?"

"...There are many wonders in the world. It is also a blessing for Prince Su to obtain this treasure." Shen Qianle Lingmeng said.

Su Yuan nodded, thinking of Zhen Miao.

Grand Master has extensive experience. If I have a chance in the future, let her take a look and she should know what it is.

…

The next day.

Thousands of people worked all night to lift the body of the Yamata-no-Orochi from the ground, and then paraded it along the street for display.

Su Yuan also specially asked someone to find a big shelf, put the big snake's body on it, and a group of people carried it on the street.

It was not enough to just walk away, but they also had to beat gongs and drums so that everyone could hear and know what was going on.

For a time, almost all the people in the city went out to watch, and the whole street was packed with people. Everyone wanted to see what Yamata no Orochi looked like.

This is an oral tradition in Dongwa. Adults scare children, and the children turn into adults and scare their own children... The monsters have been frightened for countless generations. At this moment, the corpses are placed on the shelves for people to watch.

The Koizumi family was also in the crowd. The children looked at the huge body, scared, but couldn't help but look at it.

Even as an adult, Koizumi Jiro was still scared and shocked.

This was the first time he had seen such a huge snake, and it was a monster that had always appeared in Eastern Japanese legends.

What shocked him was that the Bei'an Army actually killed this monster! Displaying it publicly now is undoubtedly a way to show strength.

Some smart people in the crowd sighed: "Oh, Bei'an Army... If this happens, no one in Naijing will dare or be willing to resist..."

The Bei'an Army first hunted down all the shoguns, and now killed the Yamata no Orochi. The "big stick" aspect has been demonstrated to the extreme.

The "radish" paired with the stick is also very delicious.

Following yesterday's notice, many new policies were announced today. Many of them surprised the people of Naijing.

In particular, policies such as free distribution of farmland and exemption from most tax burdens almost immediately attracted the support of the Bei'an Army from the people, who were mainly poor people.

For these people, there is really no such thing as "patriotism". The Japanese brought them only pain and labor, with no benefit at all. What's so cute about it?

The only people who really hate the Bei'an Army with gritted teeth are the wealthy businessmen and powerful people. They were robbed of their wealth by the Bei'an Army, and they only want to unite with the people to overthrow them.

Some of them wanted to escape, but the gate of Naijing City had long been controlled by the Bei'an Army. They could escape, but their wealth could not be transported out.

Some people wanted to provoke the common people at the bottom, but no one responded or said anything. Some people even reported it to the Bei'an Army and were arrested directly.

These people couldn't understand the reason at all, but Su Yuan understood it very well after hearing it.

He heard that someone was spreading rumors that the Bei'an Army was transporting all the precious treasures in the Daming Mansion back to the capital.

Those who spread the rumors undoubtedly wanted to arouse public anger, but in fact there was no response at all.

The reason is very simple. Whether the Bei'an Army takes away the treasures in the Daiming Palace or not, it has nothing to do with the people at the bottom.

Could it be that if the Bei'an Army didn't take it, these treasures would fall into the hands of the common people? Let alone fall into the hands, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to even take a look at them. Therefore, they don't care who owns these treasures.

They only care about real interests, such as the new policy announced by the Bei'an Army. Su Yuan knows very well that as long as this key point is grasped, the East Japan will soon stabilize.
