Jiang Yao's spaceship is equipped with a concealment formation and travels through the world of witchcraft.
For the sake of safety, this young and successful man kept a low profile.
The top-level spaceship has been flying for more than half a month and has not yet left the territory of the Butterfly Transformation Department, which shows the huge territory of Pan's territory.
He really deserves the name of "Da Chu".
Jiang Yao was not in a hurry. As he hurried south, he stopped at the cities along the way from time to time to learn about this so-called "Great Chu".
With the establishment of the Chu State, Pankang sent troops to the east, and the newly formed Wu camp split, and the Wu League became a complete display.
The entire Witchland fell into a full-scale civil war.
In the past half month, the banner of Chu has been planted all over the Diebian Tribe and the eight affiliated tribes. Half of the Wu Territory has become the territory of the new Chu Kingdom.
All the nobles of the Chu State, including city lords and cave lords from various places, were transformed into officials of the Chu State. According to the orders of Chu King Pan Ding and General Pan Kang, they organized troops and horses to join the Chu army.
The size of the Chu army is increasing every moment.
Moreover, Jiang Yao discovered that the Chu army did not have warriors at the level of sorcerers (warriors). All warriors needed to be at least a sorcerer (warrior).
This is different from the Shenzhou army. The Shenzhou army is very large, and the Wu family's nobles and nobles combined have hundreds of millions of regular troops. However, the vast majority are samurai-level warriors.
A terrifying number of troops are usually very convenient for suppressing poor families in a vast area, and they can also maximize the rule of the Wu family nobles.
But there are too many troops, and the average cultivation level of the soldiers is too low. Once a battle begins, they will appear bloated and slow to move.
The Chu army was better, with a small number of troops, but its warriors had very high levels of cultivation, and were very maneuverable and powerful.
Based on what Jiang Yao had seen along the way, he estimated that the Chu army might have between three and five million troops, and it would not exceed five million if they could survive. However, they were all cavalry, and the lowest level of cultivation was all witch masters.
Most of these millions of Chu troops were soldiers of noble lords. The number of soldiers of the royal family Pan was at most 30 to 40 percent.
After more than half a month, Jiang Yao has mastered a lot of information about the new Chu State.
The Chu State's military was extremely powerful, and it indeed had the power to unify the witchcraft realm. Jiang Yao found out that all of the thirty-six generals under Pan Kang's command were powerful witch saints.
In the Chu army alone, there are dozens of generals with holy level cultivation!
There are even more immortal-level generals and military leaders.
Despairingly powerful.
But the ginger medicine gave me more confidence.
Why?
Because although the Chu State was powerful and nobles from all over the country actively supported the new royal family, the politics of the Chu State had not changed!
In the view of Jiang Yao, who is well versed in Chinese politics, the so-called Great Chu, in terms of the central system, only built a Chu royal court in Wangjing. The royal court team was still the retainers and clan members of the previous emperor's mansion.
It's just that the names of the official positions were changed and a group of officials were added. For example, Ling Yin, Zuo Yin, Mo Ao, Zhu Guo, Guolao, etc.
Apart from the innovation in name, the Chu King's Court was actually the former King's Mansion of the Diebian Tribe, with some minor differences.
This is in the center.
What about locally?
It is still controlled by nobles such as the city lord, cave lord, and mountain lord, and the local power and resources have not changed.
However, these people were awarded new official titles, such as Yuncheng Dayin, Taoshan Yin, Xia Ming Shaoyin, etc.
Pankang obviously had some knowledge of ancient history, and he also established local government offices. However, his local government offices did not have a complete system at all. Rather than being a local military and government agency, it was better to say that it was a private shogunate for nobles and nobles.
Jiang Yao wrote in the tone of a contemporary historian and rigorous academic language at an inn in Fengshan City, Jiji, in the southern border of Chu State:
"Pankang's establishment of Chu was a major event with far-reaching influence in the witchcraft domain, which greatly changed the pattern of the witchcraft domain."
"In general, Pankang Jianchu further united the people of the Diebian tribe, complied with the historical requirements of unification in a certain sense, and established a nominal central power politically."
"Pankang Jianchu formally unified the western part of the Witch Territory, which has a certain historical progress. It is worthy of recognition. It greatly promoted the development process and regional integration of the Witch Territory civilization and opened the prelude to the great unification."
"This marks that the Witchland has entered a new period of development, and the consciousness of great unity has begun to awaken."
"But it must be pointed out that Pankang's establishment of Chu was only the result of the Wu tribe's big slave owners' ambitions for hegemony, and it was a manifestation of the military hegemony of the Pan group. The newly born Chu State neither intended nor could fundamentally adjust or change the production relations of slavery.
"
"Chu State still stubbornly represents the interests of the great nobility and slave owners, and stubbornly maintains the reactionary rule of the old nobility. The majority of monks from poor families are still under cruel oppression, and there is no substantial progress either economically or politically.
Change."
"Pan's high dependence on the aristocratic group, as well as the reactionary nature of the aristocratic group, determined that Panchu could not actively pursue a real social revolution. The Chu State was just a political and military tool for the aristocratic group to monopolize and plunder resources."
"Essentially, Pankang's establishment of Chu was a military adventure by the Pan family group to unilaterally promote unification by force. Being militarily powerful could not bring about changes in political change, and it also obliterated the upper-level demand for social change."
"The unification war of the Witch Territory caused by Pan Kang and Jian Chu was an unjust war in which the nobles of the Witch Territory competed for power and resources..."
"But it is undeniable that the reactionary forces are powerful and stubborn. Although the revolutionary prospects are bright, it should be recognized that it must go through a cruel, long-term, and tortuous struggle."
Jiang Yao finished his review and concluded: "Follow history and rely on the people. All reactionaries are paper tigers!"
After writing this, Jiang Yao felt much better.
He was now able to look at Pankang Jianchu calmly.
Not urgent.
Take it easy.
Then, Jiang Yao sent a flying message to Shang Xuan, who was acting as the agent for the Ming Dynasty's affairs: "From now on, we will no longer recruit new soldiers with a martial arts level below..."
More than half a month later, after traveling through the north and south of the Witch Territory, Jiang Yao's consciousness finally discovered the vast Nanming.
In this declining fairyland, most places belong to the vast sea, the largest of which are Dongming and Nanming.
Dongming is mainly the territory of the Monster Clan, known as the Immortal Sea of Ten Thousand Islands, and has a very large population of Monster Clan.
But Nanming is different.
The sea area of Nanming is also called the Sea of Summer Insects.
The reason why it is called Xia Chonghai is because the rules of heaven and earth in Nanming are very strange. The most terrifying thing is that the rules of aging in Nanming are extremely terrifying.
How terrible is it?
As long as they enter the deep waters of Nanming, the great sage will not live for more than a year, and he will die of old age.
Summer insects cannot speak of ice, and their lifespan is less than a year. The lifespan of the great sages who have entered the depths of Nanming is as short as summer insects, let alone ordinary monks.
Even in the sea very close to the coast, the speed of aging is very scary. Even if you are only a hundred miles away from the coast, you can age by one year after staying in the sea for one day.
Therefore, Nanming is basically a desert on the sea. In addition to the name "Xia Chonghai", there is also an even more ominous name: "Sea of Resentful Tombs".
Not only are there no people in Nanming, not even monsters can be seen. Even strong people dare not go deep. Very few people know how big the depths of Nanming are and what is there.
The southern border of the Witch Domain reaches Nanming.
Jiang Yao looked at the billowy Nanming from a distance, feeling an indescribable feeling of horror in his heart.
He has been to many places, but there has never been a place that made him feel so horrified like Xia Chonghai.
If Ghost Master Jin Hui hadn't told him, he would never have imagined that the entrance to Jiujiu Secret Realm was actually in the "Sea of Summer Insects".
Jiang Yao followed the map drawn by Jin and found a mountain on the shore of Nanming. He hid himself and waited until late at night.
After the moon reached the zenith, the ginger medicine disappeared, and a ghostly ghost appeared in its place.
The ghostly figure is half virtual and half real, and is dressed in a red robe. It looks particularly strange and eerie under the moonlight.
But I saw this ghost riding a gloomy wind to the shore of Nanming and sinking into the strange sea water like ink waves.
"Jie Jie..." The ghost laughed strangely and disappeared into the night-like sea.
This ghost is, of course, the ginger medicine that transformed into a big ghost according to the method taught by Jin Hui using the "Great Wilderness Ghost Sutra" and the ghost seal magic weapon.
Only turning into a ghost is the safest way to sneak into Jiuji.
PS: I’m too busy today with too many guests, so I can only write a small chapter. I’m so tired, Crab! Good night!
