At the same time, Zhang Jian solidified his spiritual consciousness and swept across the void, illuminating the Beichu Palace. He noticed that the demon practitioners in the Beichu Palace had disappeared.
It seems that Wangfeng has fled!
Zhang Jian thought to himself, these experienced Yuanshen Masters are all very cunning.
But he wasn't surprised either.
After all, there are still people who can’t escape!
He grasped it with his huge palm, and the light and shadow of five red dragons flowed deep in his palm, vaguely covering the magnificent golden light of Northern Chu's national destiny that happened to rush up.
In the palace, Emperor Chu Huanxuan raised his head in an instant, only to see a majestic golden dragon rising into the sky behind his back. But in an instant, the dying Golden Dragon of National Fortune was torn into pieces under countless red dragon claws.
Zhang Jian raised his hand and grabbed it.
Boom!!
The entire sky seemed to be collapsing and tearing apart under the giant red palm.
A doomsday-like scene fills the world.
Under the giant palm, the entire Beichu Imperial Palace collapsed.
This was not a confrontation of magnitude at all. Zhang Jian tore through the layers of void between his hands, and a moment later a figure wearing a red and yellow dragon robe was caught in his hands.
Huan Xuan's clothes were stained with blood and he passed out.
The Dragon Soul of National Fortune was torn into pieces, and he was hit hard immediately.
Zhang Jian grabbed Huan Xuan, and his faint voice spread throughout Guangyuan City.
"I am Zhang Jian, the emperor of Great Xia, and now the puppet emperor Huan Xuan of Northern Chu has been captured alive by me. If you, the rebellious ministers of Northern Chu, know the destiny, you should not even think about resisting the army of Great Xia. You should obey me, the prosperity of Great Xia, and rebel against me.
Those who surrender to the city will perish; those who surrender to the city will have no worries about their lives; their wealth and honor will be preserved; those who resist will have their entire clan executed, so that they can take care of themselves!"
After the words fell, Zhang Jian raised his hand and struck at the center of Guangyuan City. A purple-gold light fell from the sky, splitting a crack in the central street of Guangyuan City that stretched for hundreds of miles, and directly penetrated the extremely thick city wall of Guangyuan City.
This scene left millions of people in Guangyuan City stunned and trembling.
The whole city was silent.
Zhang Jian looked at this scene and nodded secretly.
With this move, the demise of Northern Chu was a foregone conclusion.
The essential differences between Daxia and Beichu are too great.
If he were to be a practitioner of the same Holy King's Way, he would have to be more cautious.
But Emperor Huanxuan of Chu was obviously not.
Zhang Jian then came to the camp of the expeditionary army that had not yet set foot on the land of Shuangyuan County.
Zhang Jian casually handed Chu Emperor Huanxuan to the expedition army commander An Ruming, and then left.
"Your Majesty's conduct is truly unfathomable!"
Inside the cabin, An Ruming and others still had shock, excitement and joy on their faces.
To capture the thief, capture the king first, and now Emperor Huanxuan of Chu has been captured alive by the Emperor of Great Xia. This time, the great cause of the Northern Expedition can be said to be half done first.
An Ruming raised his hand and motioned to several soldiers beside him to put Huan Xuan away. He looked at several real Yuanshen who were sighing.
"Gentlemen, since our soldiers are so quick, we will take advantage of the leaderless Northern Chu dragons to attack Huanglong!"
Taoist Huanghe nodded.
"As it should be!"
Fengling's expression next to her remained unchanged and indifferent. To her, all this seemed to be a matter of course.
An Ruming quietly glanced at this beautiful goddess with unparalleled elegance. He only glanced at it and then involuntarily looked away.
He has been informed of the origin of this real person, and there are rumors that this beautiful goddess has a close relationship with the Emperor of Great Xia. If you look at her a few more times, be careful of the Emperor of Great Xia slipping into your shoes!
…
Within Haojing City
After defeating the remaining dragon veins and dragon souls in Beichu, Zhang Jian never took action again.
The Northern Expedition was also an opportunity for the expeditionary army to train new generals. Having to do everything by hand would also make these generals dependent and lose the opportunity to grow.
As the Northern Expedition progressed smoothly, Song Yingzhen, the special envoy of Jiangnan Province on the other side, also sent a steady stream of information back to Haojing City.
The situation of wealthy families in the counties of Jiangnan Province hiding their acres and young men and stealing national tax revenue and land is shocking.
Zhang Jian was not surprised at all, this is how the Zhang family came here.
The original Qian Dynasty was subjected to constant blood transfusions and bloodletting, and its vitality could never be restored. It was always in a sickly "sub-healthy" state until it was gradually dragged down after several natural disasters.
Naturally, he could not let Daxia follow in his footsteps, let alone allow private land annexation to continue to exist.
Taking advantage of the success of the Northern Expedition, Zhang Jian instructed Song Yingzhen to vigorously investigate the matter. At the same time, he ordered the wealthy gentry from the counties in Jiangnan Province to take the initiative to report to the governor's offices of each county.
If you take the initiative to report and make up the tax, you can be given a lighter sentence and let bygones be bygones.
And if you continue to conceal it and fail to report it, if anyone is found out, your property will be confiscated and your family will be confiscated and your family will be exterminated.
In addition, in order to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble and rebel, Zhang Jian ordered Song Shang, the Marquis of Dingyuan, to lead 100,000 Nanjun soldiers and horses to sit in Jixian County, Jiangnan Road, to support Song Yingzhen.
When inspecting the fields, Zhang Jian did not forget to signal Song Yingzhen to return part of the inspected fields to the poor and propertyless people.
This move immediately won the support of countless people.
Many proletarian people rejoiced over this.
On the other side, amid such rumors, many aristocratic families are feeling insecure, and some are unstable.
Secretly, there are undercurrents surging.
Many aristocratic families were not willing to accept the imperial court as a slave and themselves as fish and meat, so they began to secretly connect with each other.
…
Inside Hao Capital, Zhang Jian sat in the inner hall to review the memorial and at the same time review the list of the first batch of cabinet ministers in the first year of Shengde.
He also noticed that Song Yingzhen sent more and more memorials through secret channels during this period.
According to his secret report, the local wealthy families in the counties of Jiangnan Province have begun to contact some local evil heretics and are preparing to cause trouble.
Zhang Jian just glanced at it and put it down. His expression was calm and he didn't care about the changes of these wealthy families.
Instead, he decided to hold back and wait for them to fully reveal their heads before catching them all in one fell swoop.
These aristocratic families are simply not on the same level as the current Daxia court.
There is a clear difference between him and Emperor Jingwu. He possesses extraordinary power and can completely control the highest military structure of Daxia. He is not afraid of the collusion and conspiracy of these wealthy families.
If anyone thinks that his kindness is weakness, they are totally wrong.
Zhang Jian also took advantage of the situation and released Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu is reorganizing the Black Guards during this time. The rebuilt Black Guards are no longer limited to some martial arts masters, but involve all three religions and nine streams.
Let them go out, and they can supervise the officials very well.
At the same time, Zhang Jian's expression suddenly changed, and in an instant, a blazing sword intent burst out from his body.
The sword's intent is strong and heavy, and seems to contain the power of mountains, rivers, the country, the sun, the moon, stars, and the universe.
That was his natal magic weapon, the Dragon Song Sword, which was nourished by the fortunes of the Great Xia and finally transformed into a golden-level spiritual treasure.
"You can try to cast the third natal spiritual treasure!"
Feeling this change, a smile appeared on Zhang Jian's lips, and then he restrained the blazing sword light.
The secret method of forging a tripod has been obtained. As the country's fortunes become increasingly prosperous, he can also choose to forge a nine tripod to subdue the country and stabilize the Great Xia Dragon Vein.
And this Jiuding can be used as his third natal spiritual treasure.
However, Zhang Jian did not do this. He had other considerations for the third natal spiritual treasure.
And Jiuding can be used as a national destiny spiritual treasure that is in harmony with the national destiny of Daxia. It can also be regarded as an alternative kind of natal spiritual treasure.
It's just that the person who was destined to cross paths was not him, but the fate of the country of Great Xia.
In the future, Jiuding will continue to transform and advance due to the rise of Daxia's national destiny.
