Zuo Zhou was not surprised that Xu Fu left without saying goodbye. From the moment he met Xu Fu, he knew that this old boy must have his own things to do, and it was most likely not a good thing. Now Xie Xun said that he was plotting something evil late at night.
It can be proved.
"Hey, if I had known he had thoughts about you, I should have killed him first." Zuo Zhou sighed, feeling a little pity. After all, he might be too lazy to fall out with Hu Hai. After all, Yi Tianfan had done it last time.
Tell yourself that Xu Fu left the imperial capital through the wedding reception team, which was obviously a secret mission with Hu Hai.
"General, what are your plans next?" Jiang Yuyan held Zuo Zhou's arm. Xie Xun was next to him and was not surprised. However, Zhao Min frowned slightly. He looked at Zuo Zhou and then at Jiang Yuyan. Maybe it was because yesterday's incident was still a little strange.
Don't feel comfortable.
"Xu Fu is Hu Hai's man. He will definitely report this matter to Hu Hai after he returns. Your fleet should not be hidden in Da Qin from now on. Well, the Qing Dynasty should have fallen into chaos now, but it can be your development
The soil. As for us, we will go back to pick up Liu Shengpiaoxu and the others first, and then I will return to Daqin."
Jiang Yuyan pouted and looked at Zuo Zhou with a very harmless look, "I haven't seen the general for a long time!"
But Zuo Zhou shook his head, "It won't be long. When we go back this time, Bao Zheng, Di Renjie and others will attack the Qinglonghui. King Xian can't stand up to the Qin cavalry now. When the time comes, you will have the power of the Qinglonghui."
You can also take over the opportunity."
Jiang Yuyan's expression became really excited, "Coupled with the power that the general gave to me, Shangguan Jinhong, doesn't this Qinglong Society want to be in my hands?"
Zuo Zhou stretched out his hand and flicked Jiang Yuyan's forehead, "Why are you so excited? Even if the power in King Xian's hands is added later, the Qinglong Club will still be far behind compared to its peak period."
Jiang Yuyan rubbed her forehead, a little unconvinced, "After that, I can contact my sister, and I can completely extend my hand into the court. With Zhao Min's help, there will be a Qinglong Society in Da Qin and Yuan Kingdom."
Well, because of our previous cooperation, I also deployed a lot of power within the Murong family. Because of the development of the Murong family in the Ming Dynasty and the power of Shangguan Jinhong, it means that the Qinglong Society will also be a powerful force in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
A force that cannot be ignored. Oh my, it feels like it will be stronger than the Blue Dragon Society before!"
Zuo Zhou shook his head in amusement, "The Tianzun organization was already a secret line in the Ming Dynasty. As a result, you were parasitizing the Murong family of Tianzun and infiltrated through Murong Fu's branch. If you want to have great influence, you have to be at least ten
Many years. As for Da Qin, unless Hu Hai dies, it will be difficult for your sister to take control of power. After all, those ministers are not easy to deal with. As for the Yuan Kingdom..."
Zuo Zhou and Zhao Min looked at each other with calm expressions, not showing that they were that embarrassed the night before.
"It is basically impossible for the Yuan Kingdom to rise unless the surrounding big countries fall into chaos. And even if everything is in place, it will only be restored to the level before it was flattened by the Qin cavalry. As for the future, no one can guess
But... Great Qin is already so powerful now, what do you think will happen that will cause Great Qin to decline so quickly?"
Jiang Yuyan opened her mouth not knowing how to answer, and Zhao Min behind her was also speechless for a moment.
The foundation laid by Emperor Qin at the beginning was too rich. Although he said he didn't care about the future of Qin, he still created a pattern for Hu Hai to squander for decades.
Although Hu Hai himself is not very reliable, he is not as exaggerated as Song Huizong and Zhu Qizhen. As long as he does not commit suicide, there will be no problem for him to die naturally and peacefully.
It is estimated that the real test will be the next successor of Da Qin.
"Are the officials of Da Qin so powerful? People think they are just like that. They seem to be a little exhausted." Jiang Yuyan carefully recalled everything she had seen in the imperial capital.
Zuo Zhou shook his head, "No one who can reach high positions is simple. It's just that there is a deviation between what they pursue and what the emperor pursues. If the emperor and his ministers have two minds, then their talents may only be able to use 20%. Okay.
It is said that Hu Hai’s ability limits their upper limit!”
Jiang Yuyan blinked. She followed Zuo Zhou all the way back to the Imperial Capital from Jiangnan Road and now she has become the leader of the Qinglong Society. She has her own understanding of certain things.
For example, the difference between officialdom and martial arts. The rules of heaven in this world are there. Strong personal power is the most worthy of pursuit. It is far more worthy of heaven than the power in the hands of officials. Therefore, the proportion of martial arts will always exceed
In the imperial court, although the Great Qin once suppressed the world, in the final analysis, the Great Qin Cavalry did not shake the living space of those true masters.
Even in the most famous Shaolin Temple, the monks who were able to take charge did not take action. The reasons and secrets are not known to outsiders.
Therefore, Jiang Yuyan has some disdain for officialdom, which is why she firmly cultivates and takes the path of the world. Of course, the main reason is that Jiang Yuyan has many choices. Didn't she have the opportunity to choose the imperial court in the first place?
Yes, and there are many opportunities. Jiang Yufeng can charm Hu Hai. Could it be that Jiang Yuyan, who is more beautiful and better at seducing men, can't?
It's too simple, but Jiang Yuyan doesn't like it. On the one hand, power is not as attractive as cultivation, and on the other hand, it is also because of the great restrictions on women in this era. Although Da Qin did not say that women were not allowed to be officials, it did
No woman holds any important official position. Should she be allowed to enter the officialdom starting from the county magistrate?
If Jiang Yuyan wanted to take power quickly, the only way was to enter the harem, which was Jiang Yufeng's method, but she didn't want to. Firstly, she didn't like Hu Hai, and secondly, she had better choices, so why should she wrong herself?
But now that the topic has come to this point, Jiang Yuyan became interested, "General, what do you think of the emperors of various countries? Emperor Qin instilled the power of unification of heaven and earth, who will win the position of human emperor in the end!"
Zuo Zhou was stunned for a moment, Human Emperor? Well, if the world is really unified, there is actually no problem with the title of 'Human Emperor'. However, because Emperor Qin turned into a dragon, the title of Emperor of a real dragon is probably not the same.
There's no way to escape, haha.
"Hu Hai can't succeed. Although Da Qin has the strongest foundation among all countries. Zhu Wuli of the Ming Dynasty has just come to power. It is not difficult to use his methods to slowly restore the Ming Dynasty and make further progress. However, he was lost because of the death of Zhu Qizhen.
I have a lot of luck, I am afraid it will take some time. The Qing Dynasty... Haha, you have all been dug up, but no matter how hard you try, it is useless. It can be expected that if Kangxi is not willing to give in, he will look for it like crazy.
Opportunity spoils luck. The Yuan Kingdom..."
As Zuo Zhou spoke, he glanced back at Zhao Min and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao is a wise man. If the Yuan Kingdom is governed by her, it will be better than before, but to what extent it will be better, I'm not sure."
Jiang Yuyan snorted a little dissatisfied when she heard this, "The general has been talking for a long time, but he didn't get to the point. Where are Song and Tang?"
Yes, the Song and Tang dynasties are the focus now. Even though the Song dynasty was destroyed before, there are still many organizations surviving there. Coupled with the official layout of the exiles behind it, its complexity is probably as complex as that of all the fortune tellers in the world.
I can’t see through it either. The Tang State is now at the forefront of the struggle between gods and humans. The future direction will depend on who can win the final victory. However, Zuo Zhou is not optimistic about the people of the Tang State. The reason is very simple: the power is disproportionate!
Based on the secret reports from the Demon Sect, the Green Dragon Society, and Dali Temple, and even the occasional reports from Sokong, he already had a general idea. With the return of more and more gods, the power of Shinto was growing crazily, and the Tang Kingdom
The local power is gradually declining.
Zuo Zhou looked at Jiang Yuyan's expectant eyes and suddenly became happy, "The Song Kingdom is too complicated, and I can't say it well, general, but...if the Song Kingdom really has an emperor in the future, then it means that the exiles have failed.
Then if there are exiles who come to you for help under my banner in the future, you don’t need to pay attention to it. As for the Tang State, the future emperor will still be Li Zhi, and the Tang State will slowly reveal its claws and begin to attack the former Great Qin
Same, conquer the world."
Jiang Yuyan's eyes were full of confusion, "When Song Huizong died, he was nearby, and he had heard about what the exiles wanted to do, but why did the Tang Dynasty conquer the world? Did Li Zhi have such great ambitions?
"
Zuo Zhou shook his head, "It's not that Li Zhi has any ambitions. Although there will be an emperor in the Tang Kingdom in the future, it is the Shinto people who will really make the decisions. The emperor's enthronement, abdication, national policies, etc. will all be decided by these Shinto people."
People control. Well, there is a word that is quite appropriate, pope!"
"pope?"
"Yes, not a religious emperor, but a person who teaches the emperor what to do and what to do, haha! By then there will be countless masters in Shinto, and the power will be unprecedentedly huge. Coupled with the role of the power of unity, do you think,
Will these Shinto people live in peace?"
Jiang Yuyan's eyes were not only not solemn but also a little eager to try, "It's a catastrophe, but it's also a crisis. So what does the general think he should do?"
Zuo Zhou looked at Jiang Yuyan in surprise, "Damn it! Do you want to be the emperor?"
Jiang Yuyan suddenly jumped up and hugged Zuo Zhou like a koala, "Well~~~ Even if he becomes the emperor, he is still a general's man!"
Haha, I just admitted it!
Zuo Zhou was happy, and suddenly felt that his expectations were full. He said that if Jiang Yuyan really became an emperor in the end, what would happen... "Reunification is actually very simple. The only thing that matters is force! Governing the country and so on.
They all need to be considered after unification. And if you want to conquer the world, force must be divided into two types, one is soldiers and the other is generals."
Zhao Min, who was behind him, looked much more solemn when he heard this, "The soldiers and generals you talked about didn't just mean it on the surface, right?"
Zuo Zhou continued: "Soldiers, that is, armies. Whoever has a stronger army will have the upper hand. Even the Shinto people in the Tang Dynasty cannot avoid this. After all, no matter how many gods return from the past, they cannot be like them."
Soldiers fight like that. And generals are masters, a deterrent force, and a decisive force. After all, if you have the upper hand but are suddenly beheaded, all your great achievements will be lost."
Zhao Min frowned, "This is a very simple question, but it is also the most difficult. Everyone knows the importance of the army. Building a strong army is never easy!"
Xie Xun nodded from behind, "I stayed in the Qing army for a period of time in order to hunt down Cheng Kun. There were many problems, and these problems were very difficult to deal with."
Jiang Yuyan also said: "Yes, Song's army also has serious problems, including the problems exposed by the Ming army this time."
Zuo Zhou shrugged, "No one said this was easy. The most powerful army in the world today should be the Great Qin Cavalry when Emperor Qin was in power. Emperor Qin was strong enough. Not only did he subdue all those who might appear in the army,
The question has become the spiritual symbol of the army. If we want to achieve the great cause of reunification, how can we do it without this kind of majestic talent and strategy?"
Jiang Yuyan's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed. She was not qualified for this point alone. To put it bluntly, the Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society is still an organization in the shadows. How can such a person stand in the sun and become the spiritual leader of the army?
"But if this is the case, then the Tang State is not suitable. How can an emperor controlled by Shinto become the spiritual symbol of the army? If the Tang State's army is not strong, how can they conquer the world?"
"The spiritual symbol does not have to be a certain person, it may also be a certain idea. Unification does not necessarily require an emperor. As long as everyone is in the same country, it is considered unified. Haha, I think those gods are not that big, otherwise it would be really
After reunification, they will still have to fight among themselves to decide who will be the God King or God Emperor, blah!"
Jiang Yuyan understood Zuo Zhou's disdainful tone, "So there will be a new religion in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and this religion will become the so-called 'spiritual symbol', and those gods will become responsible for various functions in the sect."
An individual, such as the God of Wealth or something like that?”
Zuo Zhou rubbed his chin and affirmed: "That should be it. Although those gods are now human beings, they don't think they are any similar to ordinary people. They will try their best to distinguish themselves from ordinary people.
Yes, they will become nobles, they will become gods, establish a heavenly court, and manage it hierarchically with the human dynasty. The heavenly court owns the world, and the dynasty manages ordinary people, but this heavenly court does not exist in heaven, but is integrated into the human world."
Jiang Yuyan blinked and smiled: "Then it looks like we will start to restrict the Tang army now. As long as their army is not good, no matter how many gods they have, they will not be able to win the world!"
Zuo Zhou looked at Jiang Yuyan in surprise, "What do you want to do?"
"Whether the army is strong depends on various aspects. Since they want to create a kingdom of God, religious brainwashing is probably what they are best at, but there is no way to win a war relying on the fanaticism of believers. So a normal army is strong
The reason is what we can target.”
"The war horses were all bred to him, so that he would have no cavalry to use in the future! The craftsmen were all poached, so they had to buy their weapons! The fields were all destroyed, so they couldn't get food and grass for the expedition!"
Zhao Min continued: "Control trade so that they can't even buy good ones!"
Xie Xun also nodded, "In fact, weapons can be passed off as inferior ones. After all, it would be too ostentatious to lose them all."
Zuo Zhou looked at the three of them and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. They were all so evil-minded? "Are you interested in becoming the Human Emperor, or what?"
Xie Xun didn't care, "I just don't want to see a group of magicians controlling the world, let alone any religion controlling my thoughts."
Zhao Min shook his head, "I don't dare to think about becoming a queen, but I don't want to have some kind of heaven over my head, let alone become a 'mean' species."
Jiang Yuyan: "I want to be the emperor!"
(;￢＿￢)(;￢＿￢)(;￢＿￢)(?w?)
Zuo Zhou rubbed his temples and looked at Jiang Yuyan's excited look. It didn't look like three minutes of passion at all.
"Okay, the excitement is almost over. Calm down. You haven't even taken the first step to becoming a queen, and now you are getting excited?"
"oh!"
Jiang Yuyan returned to her previous well-behaved appearance.
Zuo Zhou didn't say anything else, and the three of them didn't speak either. No one knew how much of a ripple today's chat would cause in everyone's hearts.
Zuo Zhou really doesn't care. What he pursues is different. The laws of nature in this world favor the strong, so becoming the strongest is the path that is most consistent with nature. This is also the path he is taking now. The power of unity
After all, it was only added to the rules of heaven later. Although it is also orthodox, its priority is definitely not as good as the former.
It was difficult to let go of this ambition in Jiang Yuyan's heart, and she had even made preparations to infiltrate the Tang Kingdom as soon as the general returned to the imperial capital.
Zhao Min looked at the excitement flashing in Jiang Yuyan's eyes from time to time, and suddenly felt a little hopeful. Maybe she could really create an era, so should he always stand by her side?
What Xie Xun was thinking about was...what to have for dinner. He didn't want to eat any more fish.
The warship was very fast, and Zuo Zhou and others quickly returned to the land. Now they are located on the border between the Qing and Ming countries. In the past, the Qing army was much stronger here, and the Ming army could only passively defend and be vigilant.
Now, the tense atmosphere is completely gone.
The Qing Dynasty had no luck, and Kangxi began to shrink his troops and abandoned all the cities that could be abandoned. Now the Qing Dynasty cities here are basically empty shells. However, because the Ming Dynasty is also in trouble, Zhu Mingli can't even be greedy and can't give up all the cities.
All cities must be occupied, otherwise the battle line will be stretched too long and supply will be a problem.
Who doesn't know that Kangxi is now a mad dog, and he will seize any opportunity to steal his luck!
"This place has become an unattended area now. Well, people from the Blue Dragon Society can secretly move in and protect the residents of this city in the name of a superficial gang."
Zuo Zhou covered his face and looked at Jiang Yuyan helplessly. You are so pervasive that you don't miss any opportunity. Have you already started from a small border town?
Jiang Yuyan hid the naval fleet on Shenlong Island, which has now become a stronghold of the Qinglong Society. If he can control some cities near the sea, it will also be beneficial to the maintenance of the naval fleet.
The four of them quickly found a good inn to stay in the city. Jiang Yuyan booked the hotel with a wave of her hand. Xie Xun released his strong pressure, and all the dissatisfied guests left voluntarily.
Late at night, Zuo Zhou did not follow Jiang Yuyan, but found Zhao Min.
Knocking softly on the door, Zhao Min opened the door as if he had expected it. Zuo Zhou looked at her cool dress in a tulle tube top and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you waiting for my favor?"
"Zhao Min is still self-aware, and the appearance of Puliu will naturally not impress the general. But whether it is from the perspective of revitalizing the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty or from the perspective of his own survival, Zhao Min's body should belong to the general."
Zuo Zhou pursed his lips and looked at the girl in front of him with a faint smile and a calm look. Suddenly he didn't know what to say. Is it that your Yuan Kingdom is too open-minded, or that you take worldly affairs too seriously?
Clear?
Zhao Min noticed Zuo Zhou's silence, took the initiative to come closer, and very gently but slowly began to help him unbuckle his belt.
"Although I like to take the initiative, I don't mean to force anyone..."
"The general is joking. The Yuan Kingdom is now in chaos and the royal family no longer exists. If I don't have the protection of the general, I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of other forces competing for luck. At that time, let alone revitalizing the royal family of the Yuan Kingdom, it is
It is impossible to leave an heir for the Yuan royal family." Zhao Min interrupted Zuo Zhou and helped him hang his coat on the screen next to him.
Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes, "Yeah, it seems like you are someone who knows only a little about having children. Didn't Yuyan tell you that giving birth is not that simple?"
As expected, Zhao Min's movements paused. He raised his head with confusion in his eyes. Giving birth? Isn't it just about doing sports together? Is there any special posture?
Zuo Zhou didn't have anything to hide or feel embarrassed, and directly told her about the warrior's difficulty in giving birth. Zhao Min was really confused, "If this is the case, wouldn't I have to find an ordinary person to ensure the birth of an heir?"
Zhao Min's scalp was numb. As the princess of the Yuan Kingdom, she could accept having a child with Li Yuanfang. After all, he was the general of the Qin Dynasty, a ruthless man who could kill the Dibang, and he was handsome! No.
I feel I have wronged myself.
She could even accept having a child with Xie Xun. Although Xie Xun was a bit older, he was a top player and his character didn't seem to have any problems.
But she can never accept that the child's father is an incompetent person. Yes, this is the education of the royal family! True love? What kind of luxurious feeling is that!
Zuo Zhou rubbed his brows and said, "You don't have to be so pessimistic. In fact, I still have an idea, but... I must make it clear to you. I can give you a child, but this child cannot be regarded as my child.
It can be said that God gave birth to a child through my body. No one can tell what the future will be like. What about me? There is a high probability that I will not be responsible for this child because I don’t want to cause trouble!"
Zhao Min didn't understand, but still subconsciously replied: "It doesn't matter, Yuyan will be responsible."
Zuo Zhou(⊙_⊙)? Why do these words... sound so green?
The look in Zhao Min's eyes immediately changed. The two were in a stalemate for a while. Finally, Zuo Zhou had no choice but to lift Zhao Min up and walk towards the bed...
Xie Xun didn't sleep very well that night. It was a little noisy in the first half of the night, and there was lightning and thunder in the second half of the night, but it didn't rain. He didn't know what God was thinking.
