Wu Siyuan's strength expanded rapidly, and his power spread toward Junzhou, which is part of Wudang County.
By 1353, Wu Siyuan had controlled most of Junzhou, Wudang County, Yunxiang County and many villages. He had 10,000 soldiers and 150,000 acres of farmland, and the people's livelihood was stable.
In the same year, the Yuan Dynasty gathered troops from several provinces to encircle and suppress Xu Shouhui's base area. Important leaders of the Tianwan regime were killed in the battle. Qishui County, the capital of the country, was also breached. More than 400 soldiers from "Liantai Province" died heroically.
Junzhou, where Wu Siyuan was located, was also attacked by the Yuan Dynasty army.
During this battle, Wu Siyuan took the lead and led his soldiers to fight all the way. The leading general was killed by Wu Siyuan. The Yuan Dynasty army fled in defeat and returned home in defeat.
After that battle, Wu Siyuan's power controlled the entire Junzhou, spread to the entire Xiangyang Road, and began to extend its tentacles to the Jiangbei Province of Henan. His name entered the vision of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty.
At that time, the Yuan Dynasty implemented the Zhongshu provincial system, dividing the country into the direct jurisdiction of the Zhongshu Province, the areas under the jurisdiction of the Xuanzheng Yuan, and 10 Xingzhongshu provinces. There were roads, prefectures, prefectures, and counties under the provinces, and the roads were under the jurisdiction of the provinces.
.
Junzhou, where Wudang Mountain is located, belongs to Xiangyang Road Management, while Xiangyang Road belongs to Henan Jiangbei Province.
In 1354, the Yuan Dynasty army was frightened by the growing power of the peasant uprising armies such as Liu Futong and Zhang Shicheng, and mobilized troops from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to suppress it.
Tianwan's troops recovered and launched a massive counterattack. Wu Siyuan's Wudang Army simultaneously launched an attack on the Yuan Army in the nearby area.
Five battles and five victories!
Wu Siyuan led the army to conquer five cities. The army expanded to 30,000 people, controlling the entire Xiangyang Road and becoming an important force in the rebel army. Even Xu Shouhui sent people to win over Wu Siyuan many times and gave Wu Siyuan a title.
He was given the title of a fifth-grade Zhenyuan General.
Wu Siyuan still said the same thing, he would accept the benefits but not the announcement, but he couldn't even think about doing something with him.
In 1355, Xu Shouhui's troops once again captured Huguang and many areas in Jiangxi.
Wu Siyuan also took the opportunity to capture parts of Nanyang Prefecture, Anlu Prefecture, and De'an Prefecture. His power expanded again, and his army expanded to 50,000 people.
Xu Shouhui's department was still expanding, but Wu Siyuan stopped. He began to reorganize the internal affairs, sort out relationships, crack down on large landowners to take back their fields, establish a complete household registration system, establish new military camps to recruit soldiers, build local armaments, and establish a specialized equipment department.
Responsible for building tools and weapons...
By 1356, the area under Wu Siyuan's control had stabilized its rule, with 50,000 soldiers and 500,000 acres of fertile land, becoming a force that could not be ignored in Jiangbei Province, Henan.
Also in this year, Wu Siyuan was 26 years old and Zhang Wuji was 20 years old.
The various rebel armies under the leadership of the Mingjiao made the Yuan Dynasty very uncomfortable (Xu Shouhui's troops were also closely related to the Mingjiao).
So the Yuan Dynasty came up with a strategy to drive away wolves and swallow tigers, and let Cheng Kun, the Thunderbolt Hand of Hunyuan, transform into the eminent monk Yuan Zhen of Shaolin Temple to stir up trouble and sow discord between the six major sects and Mingjiao.
The six major sects are incompatible with the Mingjiao, and their conflicts are sharp.
For example, the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun killed the Shaolin monk Kong Jian and stole the Kongtong Sect's treasure "Seven Injury Fist". The daughter of the leader of the Tianying Sect, a side branch of the Ming Sect, was so tired that Zhang Cuishan, the Five Heroes of Wudang, died and his reputation was ruined.
Yang Xiao was so angry that he killed Gu Hongzi of the Emei Sect and killed Ji Xiaofu. He also spread preaching and assassinated Bai Yuan, the head of the Huashan Sect.
After such an instigation, new and old hatreds arose, so several sects decided to unite and besiege Mingjiao after many discussions.
Mingjiao and Zhang Wuji are inextricably linked.
His adoptive father, the Golden Retriever Lion King, and his grandfather, the White-browed Eagle King, were both the four great Dharma kings of the Ming Cult. His medical teacher was also Hu Qingniu of the Ming Cult. Yang Buhui, whom he came to see as his sister, was the daughter of Yang Xiao, the left envoy of the Light. He was begging for help.
Chang Yuchun and others I met on the medical road were also members of the Ming Cult.
Zhang Wuji has a kind heart and does not want Mingjiao to perish because of this.
But in this era, he was robbed of the opportunity by Wu Siyuan and failed to practice the "Nine Yang Manual"!
Although he has been unplugged from the cold poison by Wu Siyuan, he has not given up practicing martial arts over the years. He is also quite accomplished in "Wudang Nine Yang Kung", but his strength is very different from that of his contemporaries in the original work.
On the contrary, it is because he was appointed by Wu Siyuan as the leader of the medical team. He has saved lives and healed the wounded over the years, and his compassion for others has become stronger.
Zhang Wuji wanted to protect the Mingjiao, but he was powerless.
Therefore, I can only seek help from Wu Siyuan.
When Wu Siyuan heard this, he also thought of the Ming Cult's magical power to suppress the religion - "The Great Shift of the Universe".
This skill can greatly enhance his strength and make him even more powerful.
I had wanted to go to Mingjiao to seize it before, but because I was busy with military affairs, I never made the trip.
Now that the six major factions are besieging Guangmingding, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
With this in mind, Wu Siyuan agreed and asked him to go back to the Wudang Sect to explain the situation.
Zhang Wuji left with a happy face.
But Wu Siyuan opened [Shennongjiao Space].
Wu Siyuan came to this world, possessed Song Qingshu, and spent six years raising the [Shennongjiao Space] to Level 3. His body was 12 years old that year.
Later, after three years of traveling with the teacher, I practiced "Nine Yang Magic" alone in Taoyuan Valley for seven years, which is ten years.
Another two years of military training in Wudang County!
In a total of 12 years, [Shennongjiao Space] has been upgraded to level 4.
This time, Wu Siyuan did not waste the opportunity to [enhance], but chose to keep it for use in the real world.
That year, Song Qingshu's body possessed by Wu Siyuan was 24 years old.
At this time, the area of [Shennongjiao Space] expanded again, reaching 25 acres.
A large ball of light hangs fifty meters in the air, and the stream expands into a one-meter-wide river. The river flows endlessly, dividing the space into two halves.
On one side of the river are two separate orchards.
One is a hundred orchards planted with various fruits. These fruit trees have existed since Wu Siyuan owned [Shen Nongjiao Space]. He later added multiple categories to it, and the number has exceeded 500.
Calculated, the oldest fruit tree has been growing in the space for at least 19 years.
Each tree is full of luxuriant branches and leaves, and every year when the fruiting season comes, they are full of fruits.
Another orchard uses the spiritual plant [Flat Peach Tree] in Taoyuan Valley as the core, planting more than 300 offspring [Flat Peach Tree].
However, what gives Wu Siyuan some headaches is that since the spiritual plant [Peach Tree] was transplanted to [Shen Nongjiao Space], the number of spiritual fruit flat peaches that he imagined every year has not been produced.
It’s not that the spiritual plant [Peach Tree] has stopped bearing fruit. In fact, under the unique conditions of [Shen Nongjiao Space], the number of fruits produced by this spiritual plant is increasing.
But one thing is, the effect is getting worse and worse.
And it is getting worse every year, with the effect getting worse every year.
The same is true for those descendants of the [Peach Trees]. The fruits they produce are better in taste than the flat peaches in the outside world, but the effect of strengthening vitality and replenishing Qi that Wu Siyuan values most is minimal, almost non-existent!
Wu Siyuan thought that there might be a lack of certain substances in his [Shennongjiao Space], which led to this result.
He had planned to go to the Taoyuan Valley to explore more, but things were too busy and he couldn't get out. It happened that the Mingjiao was also in Kunlun Mountain this time, so he could go and have a look if he had time.
These thoughts flashed through Wu Siyuan's mind, and Wu Siyuan's eyes fell on the other side of the river.
