After the three of them chatted for a long time, the Yu brothers and sisters proposed to go to the newly built Daming Bookstore in the Ming Dynasty to read ancient books. Jiang Yao was eager to ask for it, so he readily agreed.
After personally sending the two of them into the Ming Dynasty Pavilion, Jiang Yao summoned Xi Shan, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
"I, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Xi Shan, pays homage to the lord." Xi Shan entered the palace and saluted.
Jiang Yao put down the jade book in his hand and said, "Yunong, guess what I am calling you for?"
"What a coincidence. I was about to meet with my lord to report, but my lord just happened to summon me." Xi Shan said with a smile, "I guess that my lord is here to promote the ancient books."
"As soon as the Ming Dynasty Book Pavilion was completed, I asked the Jin Yiwei to copy the copies and spread the secret among the poor families in the world. My lord, now in the five major regions of the Divine Continent, I, the Jin Yiwei spies, have begun to secretly circulate ancient books among the poor families."
"Haha, Yunong's movements are really nimble." Jiang Yao couldn't help but be happy when he heard this. Xi Shan was indeed the spy leader he had personally dug out. He was so subjective and proactive.
There are many things that you don’t need to remind you, just do them directly.
"Report to the lord."
Xi Shan continued, "Not only in the Divine Continent, but also in the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm and the Witch Realm, I have already arranged a plan to disseminate ancient books. I believe that within a few years, the entire world, including demons, humans and witches, will all know the ancient historical classics!"
"At that time, my Ming Dynasty will be the bright moon in the world, not only looked up to by the poor people in Shenzhou, but also looked up to by the poor people in the whole world. In the future, wherever my Ming Dynasty King Master goes, there will definitely be a gathering of those who respond to the scene, just like looking forward to the rain after a long drought."
"The ancient book dissemination plan in every place will be linked to the Lord and the Ming Dynasty, so that the poor families of the four tribes will know the Lord's heart and the Ming Dynasty's aspirations!"
"Yunong did a great job." Jiang Yao was very satisfied with Jin Yiwei's work. "My Ming Dynasty must have swords in one hand and ancient books in one hand. The Ming Dynasty must not only have the force to conquer the world, but also the culture and education to educate the world."
"Yunong, do you have any latest information from the various countries?"
Xi Shan reported back: "This is what I want to report to my lord. According to my lord's instructions, I have focused on collecting intelligence on the Qing Dynasty in these years. Jinyiwei's spies in the Qing Dynasty have just sent back news that the Qing army has secret reinforcements."
"These mysterious reinforcements from the Qing army are very powerful, but the Jinyiwei spies of the Qing Dynasty have not been able to find out the details of these mysterious reinforcements. After all, the Witchland is too far away, and the Jinyiwei's manpower there is limited, and the level is not high enough."
Jiang Yao did not tell Xishan how many troops the Qing army had added. He hoped that Jin Yiwei would find out for himself.
Xi Shan continued: "Although the Chu State has been on the defensive in the past two years, its defense line has been stable and its military strength has also recovered. Pankang worked hard to govern, rectified the army, and improved the morale of the Chu State a lot."
"Originally, it was not easy for the Qing army to attack and destroy Chu. It was still unclear who would win. However, now that the Qing army has mysterious and powerful reinforcements, it is not impossible to destroy Chu."
"Jinyiwei analyzed that if the Chu State did not receive corresponding reinforcements, it would probably be destroyed by the Qing State within more than ten years."
"The Chu State has been established for fifteen years. It is the earliest great country to be established, and it may also be the first great country to perish."
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat.
Chu State must not be destroyed so quickly. If Jiang Zhengyi is allowed to be the first to unify the Witch Territory, Shenzhou will be in danger!
"Pan Kang is a hero in the world, doesn't he have any countermeasures?" Jiang Yao was sure that Pan Kang must have known that the Qing army had received strong reinforcements.
Xi Shan replied: "According to Jin Yiwei's intelligence, Chu State really has no reinforcements. Chu State's ally, Sui State, is only protecting itself at this time. It can only restrain Qiang Liang from using troops to Chu State, but it can no longer assist Chu State."
"The State of Chu is in the west of the Wu Territory, with the Qing to the east, Nanming to the south, Sui to the northwest, Liang to the north, and the Southern Territory to the northeast. Looking at the geography, only the Sui State and the Southern Territory can support it."
"But Nanyu is under pressure from the Qi State in the east and the Qing State in the south. It has no time to protect itself. How can it still have the strength to support the Chu State?"
"Therefore, it is very difficult for the Chu State to get reinforcements. However, it is impossible for a person like Pan Kang to sit back and wait for death, and he is by no means that easy to deal with. I guess that Pan Kang must have a back-up plan."
Jiang Yao nodded, "Of course he has a back-up plan. The Jin Yiwei should step up their investigation, especially regarding the Qing Dynasty."
Xi Shan showed a worried look, "My lord, Jin Yiwei suspects that the Qing State must have colluded with the Charming Tapir Khanate. There may be a secret alliance between the two countries!"
"Jin Yiwei was in the Qing Dynasty and discovered that the Qing army was searching for the nine-year-old boys and girls who were the favorite food of the Mei Tapir tribe. There were millions of them. These boys and girls were all from poor families and ordinary people. They were probably gifts to the Mei Tapir Khan.
."
Jiang Yao asked: "The Qing Dynasty and the Mei Tapir Khanate are located in the south and north. They are so far apart. How could the Qing Dynasty give millions of boys and girls to Mei Tapir?"
If it is carried by a large-scale long-distance spacecraft, how many long-distance spacecraft are needed? The target is too big and the risk is too great.
Could it be that Jiang Zheng was using an underground passage?
Thinking of the underground passage, Jiang Yao's heart suddenly brightened.
That must be the case.
As early as ancient times, the underground world had passages extending in all directions, from north to south and from east to west.
There are routes in the underground sea world, and there are countless earth veins in the earth, like the earth's veins and blood vessels, like spider webs winding deep in the earth.
The underground transportation network is actually very developed, but it is extremely dangerous. The monks on the ground cannot get out after going down.
Deep in the earth, there are not only the weird and powerful Youyu tribe, but also all kinds of weird underground ghosts, countless Zerg races, and various mutation rules that are different from those on the ground.
But since Jiang Zhengyi has the support of the Youyu clan, he will definitely be able to use the underground transportation network.
The millions of boys and girls captured by the Qing Dynasty must have been transported to the Charming Tapir Khanate in the north through underground passages.
Needless to say, the two countries must be communicating secretly through the underground passage controlled by the Yuyu tribe.
"They used the underground passage to give the boys and girls to the Charming Tapirs. The Charming Tapir barbarians like the souls and brains of nine-year-old boys and girls the most, as they regard them as good nourishing products." Jiang Yao sneered.
Even though he has the memory of two lives and is not a soft-hearted person, he still despises Jiang Zhengyi's behavior.
This person is too unscrupulous and cruel in what he does.
"Underground passage?" Xi Shan understood, and his expression became grim. "My lord, is it possible for the Qing army and the Charming Tapir to use the tunnel to suddenly appear in our Ming country and come out to attack the Ming Dynasty?"
Jiang Yao shook his head: "No. Because the barrier of the underground passage is unstable, soldiers and horses with military domains cannot pass through. Once the soldiers and horses are transported, it may trigger the collapse of the rules of the earth and the entire army will be annihilated."
"However, it is still feasible to use it as a transportation channel."
Jiang Yao thought for a while, "Since Jin Yiwei suspected that the Qing State and Charming Tapir were colluding, they tried to get the evidence. As soon as the evidence was obtained, they planned cleverly to let Qi and Liang States see the evidence and know that the Qing State colluded with Charming Tapir."
"Yunong, Jin Yiwei's next important task is to alienate Qi Qingliang and break their alliance."
"Also, the Qing Dynasty may use the Charming Tapir to invade the south to prevent the unification of the Divine Continent, the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm. It is not ruled out that Jiang Zheng's direct descendants diverted the water southward and benefited the fishermen."
The monarch and his ministers discussed it for a while, and then Xi Shan left with a solemn expression.
Jiang Yao sat there and thought for a long time.
The hidden strength of the Qing Dynasty was too powerful.
No wonder, in the original future history, it was Jiang Zhengyi who unified the real world and became the biggest winner.
Not only does this person have many backers, many helpers, and a solid background, but he also has no bottom line in colluding with the three powerful reinforcements of Charming Tapir, Blood Clan, and Sea Clan.
These three alien races have been enemies of the Immortal Dynasty since ancient times, and they are evil and stubborn creatures that all Immortal Dynasties have tried to destroy.
However, in order to win, Jiang Zhengyi did everything possible and colluded with these three aliens.
This allowed the strength of the Qing army to expand viciously. It was able to destroy the Chu State first and unify the Witch Territory first. If you take the lead one step ahead, you will take the lead step by step!
Now, the Tianping Divine Sect, which was originally on Jiang Zhengyi's side, has fallen into his hands. Jiang Zhengyi has lost the Divine Sect as a helper. If his collusion with the alien race is broken again, can he still win?
Jiang Yao thought for a while, then sent a flying message to Xi Sheng and Zhong Sheng, and then sent a flying message to Yang Jian and Li Luo'er.
………
A few days after Jiang Yao became queen, and after the Yu brothers and sisters said goodbye, he went to the Mu Clan in the Central Region again, intending to welcome back Mu Cangyue's soul.
Mu Clan's Wuji Celestial City has not changed at all, but the name Mu Clan no longer exists in the world.
There is only the Principality of Mu.
There is a big Zhou Dynasty above his head.
Even Wuji Celestial City has changed its name and is called Wuji City.
"Cousin." Mu Yue, who had already moved to Yanzhou as an official in the Great Zhou Dynasty, looked surprised and complicated when he saw Jiang Yao.
I haven't seen my cousin for many years, but my cousin is already a Martial Saint and a Ming King, and he occupies half of the territory of the Western Region.
Mu Yaochai and Ying Qingchen who came out to greet him also had complicated expressions.
As the ducal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom, they knew very well what the Ming Kingdom meant.
The Ming Dynasty no longer needs the Mu family to protect it, and the Mu family can no longer protect the Ming Dynasty.
"Cousin, cousin." Jiang Yao nodded to the three of them and smiled, just like before.
"Cousin, are you here to pick up your aunt today?" Mu Yue smiled bitterly, "My aunt decided to go back to Jiangshui after learning about you, and I can't stop her."
Mu Yaochai said: "Cousin, the adults will definitely scold you when they see you, so you have to be patient."
Jiang Yao nodded: "I know."
After arriving at the main hall where Mu Wuji was sitting, he saw Mu Wuji and Liu Danling sitting on the eucalyptus side by side, looking at him indifferently.
"Uncle, aunt." Jiang Yao bowed his hands in salute.
Jiang Yao still respected Mu Wuji and Liu Danling. At least, when he and Ming Guo were weak, it was Mu Wuji who protected him.
If it were not for the Mu clan and the Yu clan, Jiang Yao would not have a chance to grow, but would have been killed long ago. The Ming Dynasty would not have a chance to grow.
Liu Danling winked at Jiang Yao, but Mu Wuji said coldly:
"Who am I? Isn't this His Highness Prince Ming? Why, His Highness Prince Ming is busy with state affairs and has a distinguished status, so how can he take the trouble to come to my Mu family? I didn't come far enough to welcome you, but I lost my etiquette and was disrespectful to Prince Ming."
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly, "Uncle, there is no need to be angry. Although my nephew has become the Ming King, he is also the nephew of the Mu family."
Mu Wuji snorted coldly, "Don't dare! You are the mighty King Ming, the overlord of the Western Regions. I am just the Duke of Zhou, how dare you be the uncle of King Ming."
Jiang Yao poured a cup of tea for Mu Wuji with his own hands and offered it with both hands: "Please use it, sir."
"Okay." Liu Danling frowned, "I haven't been to Longcheng for many years, and you still miss me. When you come, you behave like this. Don't you know his difficulties?"
Liu Danling spoke, and although Mu Wuji still had a fierce look on his face, he finally accepted Jiang Yao's tea and said, "Prince Ming, please sit down. This is just the Duke's Palace, not your palace. Please wait."
Jiang Yao didn't argue with him, but just smiled.
Mu Wuji saw that Jiang Yao was calm and calm, and he finally couldn't help but said: "The great things you did in the Western Regions will make it difficult for me to do it in the court."
"The ministers sent letters to the court every now and then, clamoring to conquer the west to destroy the Ming Dynasty. The cunning little empress hid in cultivation and did not care about anything. Nangong Lingyi ignored her, so they came to bother me."
"Boy." Mu Wuji put down the tea cup, "I know you have had adventures in the past few years. It's amazing that you became a martial arts saint so quickly. But do you think that the Wu family can't do anything to you?"
Mu Wuji pointed to the north, "Do you know the Ten Thousand Immortals Army? The first main force of the Shenzhou Camp is still in Taiyin Mountain. But -"
"They may go south at any time, rush into the Western Region, and destroy your bullshit Ming Dynasty. Do you believe it? No matter how strong your Ming army is ten times stronger, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop the Ten Thousand Immortals Army."
Jiang Yao showed no fear, "I believe it. But Taiyin Mountain has always been tight, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Army cannot go south easily. Otherwise, will the Taiyin Mountain defense line still be there?"
Mu Wuji shook his head, "In fact, you are still in the glory of the Wu family. If the Wu family's Ten Thousand Immortal Army were not blocking the north, Charming Tapir Khan had already entered Shenzhou. The northern region fell first, followed by the western region, not
Zhongyu.”
"If it weren't for the big tree of the Wu family, the Western Region would have become a land of bloody food for the charming tapir barbarians. How could your Ming Dynasty still exist? What kind of reform could you think of?"
"Boy, the Wu family's army protects you from the wind and rain, but you hide behind and reform, dig into the roots of the Wu family, and turn over the poor family. You can do it. You are cruel enough."
Mu Wuji's words were sharp and merciless, but everything he said was true.
This is the most bizarre part.
Objectively speaking, the main force of the Wu family's army pressed against the Taiyin Mountain defense line and contributed a lot to keeping Shenzhou safe. If it weren't for the main force of the Wu family, the northern and western regions would have definitely fallen.
In this sense, it was also the Wu family's army that inadvertently preserved the Jiang Yao Reform.
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "With my uncle and Ku'er, even if the Ten Thousand Immortal Army wants to go south to suppress the Ming Dynasty, it won't be that easy."
Mu Wuji sighed, "This is what I am most worried about. The Great Zhou is the Great Zhou, and the Shenzhou Camp is the Shenzhou Camp. Although the Great Zhou was established, the Shenzhou Camp was not disbanded."
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Army heard the words of the Shenzhou Camp, not the words of the little emperor Yu Kan. Although Yu Kuan can influence the Ten Thousand Immortals Army, her imperial edict is just a piece of paper to the Ten Thousand Immortals Army, at least for now.
"
"As for me, even though I am one of the ten military leaders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Army, I cannot change the collective decision of the Ten Thousand Immortals Army. If the Ten Thousand Immortals Army goes south to suppress the Ming Dynasty, neither Yu Kuan nor I can stop it. You are just gambling.
!”
Jiang Yao looked indifferent, "My lord is right. My nephew is indeed gambling. I am betting that the Ten Thousand Immortals Army will take care of the overall situation and will not easily go south and let the enchanted tapirs enter the pass just to destroy the Ming Dynasty."
Mu Wuji snorted, "You are using the Ten Thousand Immortals Army. Although it is a conspiracy, your intentions are sinister."
Jiang Yao touched Ah Jiu's snake head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. My lord, the Ten Thousand Immortal Army defended Taiyin Mountain for the sake of the overall situation of Shenzhou. Of course, they inadvertently protected the Western Region and the Ming Kingdom. But what if..."
"But if our Ming Kingdom conquers the world in the future, they will never forget their contributions. If they really ignore the Shenzhou Army, even if they don't die at the hands of the Charming Tapir Army, they will inevitably be punished by my Ming Dynasty."
Mu Wuji glanced at Jiang Yao with a cold gaze, "You are extremely arrogant. Boy, your words are just for me. If it reaches the northern front line, huh."
"I'm afraid you don't know, right? How many times have they wanted me to take command and conquer your Ming Dynasty. If one day I can't shirk it and really fight you on the battlefield, King Ming will be polite."
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "My lord is a famous general in Shenzhou and an important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If my lord takes command to conquer the Ming Dynasty, how can my nephew dare to be polite? Of course I can only go all out."
Mu Wuji gritted his teeth and sneered: "So, you are really filial."
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Liu Danling quickly smoothed things over, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this anymore. God knows what will happen in the future!"
"Long Cheng, are you here to pick up your mother?" She changed the subject.
Jiang Yao said: "Yes. I found Qiushui Shenying and got some chaotic energy. I can perfectly restore the physical body of my mother."
After saying that, he took out a ball of chaotic energy and said, "This is the chaotic energy to honor your uncle and aunt."
Liu Danling couldn't help but look surprised when he saw Chaos Yuan Qi, while the Mu Yue brothers looked in disbelief.
It's such a big ball of chaotic energy.
Isn’t my cousin too generous?
Mu Wuji glanced at Chaos Yuanqi and sighed: "I really don't want you to take away your mother-in-law. I'm not worried. God knows how long your Ming Kingdom will last, and I'm afraid you will harm your mother-in-law and your sister!"
"
Jiang Yao looked firm: "Don't worry, sir, the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed so easily. If that day comes, I will send my mother and sister to Mu Palace before it is too late."
Mu Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's all. King Ming, I don't care about your business, just do whatever you want. Your mother is also stubborn and insists on following you back to Jiangshui, hum."
"Mu Yue, please take this Lord Ming to see the Queen Mother of Ming!"
Mu Yue couldn't help laughing, "Cousin, come with me."
