"Lord! A team of people escorted Aaron and walked out of the dense forest through another road.
Zhan Da came to report: "The sentries came and found no roundup. We are safe for the time being. In addition, the dry food carried by the subordinates can be eaten for three days."
"Um!
Aaron was protected in the center by dozens of soldiers, just like a traveling nobleman or a general in the army.
Hearing this, he fell into silence.
Even if you are a magic weapon in Liujia, you still need to eat.
Of course, he can force him to drink porridge, or even eat grass or dirt! They will never resist, and will obey his orders sternly.
But in this case, combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed.
"We need to find a place to resupply as soon as possible. Well, a sergeant in the first army needs to consume at least one kilogram of rice a day. If there is meat, it can be less. At the same time, he also needs to supplement vitamins.
"Fifty people weigh fifty kilograms a day, and one person weighs fifteen hundred kilograms, or fifteen kilograms!"
One stone made of pine is equal to one hundred catties.
Nowadays, rice and wheat are rotated in the south. Two crops of wheat a year can yield one stone per mu, and two stones per mu of rice.
As for the price of grain, one stone of rice during the Taiping years required a lot of money, that is, one tael of silver.
"After all, raising fifty soldiers will cost fifteen taels a month for food, not counting other expenses. The team is indeed a gold-swallowing beast. And once it reaches a large scale, material sources, transportation, and logistics will become big problems."
"If I hadn't been rewarded by officials, I would have supported so many people, but it would be impossible to just sit back and have nothing. After some calculations, Aaron thought about his plans for the future again.
"Being an emperor is too easy, there is no challenge." To gain more Qi points and influence more people, there is nothing better than to break the original personal attachment, or even to break the faith. First set a simple small goal, such as - to kill the three famous people of the Brahma.
"Teach?" This task is not easy.
The Brahma Taoists all have their own magical powers, and the famous religions are spread all over the world, represented by the bureaucratic, landlord, and scholar groups.
Historically, no matter whose Qianlong reigned supreme in the world, they had to cooperate with them in order to spread the imperial rule to the counties and villages.
It was okay when the founder of the country, Taizu, once Taizu died, no matter what, future emperors would gradually lose power.
Even ride on your head!
'The more important thing is... the people's hearts! If a scholar controls the world's public opinion, he will naturally be able to control the people's hearts... Winning for the hearts of the people is a huge project. But starting from this aspect, the gain of Qi points is very big...
'It seems... I still have to intervene in this dragon fight. Since I have been beaten into a monster, I can't suffer in vain!' But I really don't know much about the dragon fight, so I have to find someone knowledgeable to ask.
I wonder where Du Longzi is? Capital City.
Ziyao Zhenren is wearing a Taoist robe and his face is slightly pale. This is the aftermath of the last change in Dasong's destiny.
At this time, his big sleeves were fluttering, and he still seemed to be quite immortal. He came to a Taoist temple. "Zhenren!"
The abbot of the Taoist temple immediately bowed respectfully and invited the Ziyao people into a secret room.
"What happened to the 400,000 Imperial Guards?"
Master Zi Yao sat down and asked this question without even having time to drink tea.
In troubled times, military power will become more and more important!
For Dasong, these 400,000 troops are the greatest asset in maintaining the imperial court and destiny!
Once you fail to grasp it or do it poorly, big problems will immediately arise!
But it just happened that in the past, civil servants and military officials were generally looking down on them because they had always valued civility over military affairs. It has almost become normal for an eighth-grade Qingliu to dare to scold a fifth-grade guerrilla!
The former Tong Jing, who could barely be considered an expert in military matters, had served as Privy Councilor for many years, and could still barely suppress the unruly military leader.
This is the reason why Osomatsu's destiny will be shaky once he dies!
Prestige is a very mysterious thing, seemingly invisible, but at critical moments, it really cannot be lived without!
"The real person also knows that after the death of Privy Council Tong, the two ministers fought for military power. Recently, a candidate was announced - Lord Gaoqiu, to assume the position of Privy Councilor!" Master Zi Yao nodded slightly.
Gao Qiu was also a civil servant, but he served as a military guard for a while, so he knew military affairs.
It's just that in terms of prestige, strategy, and qualifications... they are all inferior to Tong Jing. It is unknown whether he can manage the 400,000 forbidden troops.
"I wonder how it did?"
"It's not very good. There was another mutiny among the imperial army, and many people were beheaded before suppressing it. Going to this Taoist temple to preside over it is not a good look.
When an official dies, the country becomes suspicious, and many people become concerned.
For example, nobles secretly seize military power, or even those who sit on top and raise prices are all unstable factors!
Gao Qiu was able to suppress it and prevent the 400,000 imperial troops from collapsing. He had already worked very hard.
But... I really can’t move!
Ziyao Zhenren also knows soldiers and said categorically: "This forbidden army cannot move. If it moves, it will be defeated or mutiny during the march, then it will be truly irreversible. The key is to calm it down, just one or two will be enough."
."
After all, the imperial court's righteousness is still there. As a privy envoy appointed by the imperial court, Gao Qiu only needs to work steadily and follow the instructions. Slowly he will be able to conquer the thorny heads in the army and then control the entire army, but it will take time!
"I'm afraid there may not be another year or two left," the Taoist temple leader said bitterly, "The Imperial Guards in the capital are unable to move, civil unrest has broken out, and the military governors are all ready to move."
"The troubled times are coming, dragons and snakes will rise together.
Master Zi Yao gasped, and then his expression became firm: "My Tao is tied too deeply to Da Song, so I can't plan for it at this time!" "May I ask Master, what's the plan?"
"It's just a tactic to draw firepower from under the cauldron." Zi Yao said: "Now there are chaos and thieves in the Central Plains, and many of them are dragons and snakes.
It is necessary to select the largest one among them to recruit, and then send it to attack other rebels and make them consume themselves.
Maybe we can continue the country for a few more years!"
"Is it so easy to fight against the thieves and recruit them? And...
Will the other party happily obey the order and attack other rebels?" The host was a little uneasy.
After all, it is normal for rebels to be capricious, but loyalty is extremely rare.
Master Ziyao's expression suddenly became mysterious, "There really is Song Gongbao, the leader of Xiaohuang Village, who intends to recruit you to mobilize our people. We must promote this matter to go smoothly!"
In fact, he has a deeper secret that he has not revealed.
This Song Gongbao, like Zhang Ye, is a dragon that has been calculated in advance by the sect. The dragons that can be used to renew the Song Dynasty are all outstanding people of the generation, and even have True Dragon Hope. Ordinary circumstances may not be able to persuade them, but they are all ordinary circumstances.
The Grand Master has already made the arrangements secretly! Alas... the secrets of heaven are changing too fast, so we must not play this trump card in advance...
'The snakes in all directions are ready to move, but the imperial army is unable to move, so they can only kill each other, and the imperial court wants to maintain peace...
A waterfront.
The reeds are floating, and there is a lake island not far away. There is a hill on the island, and wild birds often pass by. The mountain is full of unknown flowers, which is a unique scene.
At this time, a Taoist priest and a boy were watching Qi along the lake.
This Taoist priest was tall, dignified, majestic, and had an ancient face, which could be considered strange. He looked at the water pool and the hill, his brows furrowed more and more: "It's strange that the atmosphere around Song Gongbaozu's tomb has not changed. Why?
His dragon energy actually faintly moves closer to the great dragon veins, and he even has the intention of actively surrendering? This is right!"
Taoism emphasizes that the best thing is like water, and it is also early to help the dragon.
This man's name is Gongsun Luo, and he comes from the Zixu lineage. He selected the dragon Gongbao of Song Dynasty early to determine his destiny, presided over the relocation of his ancestral tombs, and made many investments.
Song Gongbao also lived up to expectations. Although he started earlier, he was invincible and invincible in all battles. He was even better at recruiting talents. He gained momentum early and occupied Xiaohuang Village. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said that the location was favorable and the people were there.
It's time to catch the sun.
It has always been Gongsun Luo's pride to be able to lay out this point.
But recently, when the weather came early, he realized that something was wrong. The real dragon invested by his family actually seemed to be... bent on recruiting peace?
"If the power was weak before, it would not be a bad idea to lay low for a while. But now, recruiting security would do more harm than good. Once you surrender, you will be reduced from a lord to a minister. If nothing else, will your subordinates be loyal to you or to the imperial court? People's hearts will disperse in an instant.
Most of... the Daoer of death!"
What surprised Gongsun Luo the most was what was going on with Song Bao's inexplicable idea of recruiting peace. During previous visits and inspections, he had never seen the other court be so loyal!
"Is there something wrong with the Liangshan Bolong Vein?" As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Luo felt as if the fog in front of him had been lifted away.
My heart is filled with fear.
Taoists can observe Qi, but they are also easily confused by Qi!
But the dividing line is a matter of whether it has been reached or not.
After thinking about it, and looking at this Liangshan Bo Qi Shu, I suddenly felt like something was wrong!
“It’s about Qianlong’s lifeline, but we don’t care about the law.
Gongsun Luo gritted his teeth and took out the magic weapon passed down from the Zixu Guan lineage. This magic weapon was a bright pearl with a talisman in it.
Let the mysterious light shine outside.
At this time, when it was thrown, it exploded in mid-air.
Gongsun Luo suddenly felt a breath of fresh energy coming over his body, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he used the power of the magic weapon to see through the dark earth and reach the deepest dragon veins.
But in the thick earth atmosphere, an earthy yellow dragon vein spreads, and there are some water ripples around it.
"Like a dragon that gets water, its Qi is generated by itself... This dragon's veins are very powerful. After I tap the acupoints, they can best gather them. Therefore, Song Gongbao's men gathered all kinds of counselors. This is all wrong..."
"But the direction of the dragon vein is very problematic. It came out of nowhere, and it turned out to be... It turned out to be a branch of Dasong Dragon Vein?!"
"How is this possible? Why didn't I arrive before?"
"But if this is the case, it makes sense that Song Bao relied on the support of Dasong's dragon veins to start his career. This is due to karma, so he has a heart for Dasong and feels at ease! He can't even bear to attack Dasong. After all, he is a decent person. Attacking Dasong is just like
Cut off your own arm!"
"At this time, move the grave quickly. If you get lost, you may find it in time.
"As for the debt of karma? It's a big deal, and I won't repay it until the end of the world!"
Gongsun Luo's face turned cold: "I just don't know if this fog is a coincidence of weather or man-made?"
"If it's a heavenly secret, but if it's man-made... this is really terrifying and terrifying. It must be the work of the Great Dao Pulse, specifically to plan for me, Zixu Guan, to be the top thunder! You really deserve to die!"
"Master?" The Taoist boy saw the master's ferocious expression and asked out of fear, "What happened?" "It's okay, I'll go see the leader of the Song Dynasty and tell him to move the ancestral grave!" Gongsun Luo gritted his teeth and said.
The most important thing at this time is not to let this investment go to waste.
Although I have received this dragon energy, it will be useful to move the ancestral graves, but it is better than not moving at all!
"As expected of Zixu Guan, I finally discovered it.
At this moment, a voice came from the side and Master Ziyu stepped out in a Taoist robe: "Meet fellow Taoist!"
Beside him were two real people, Zi Lei and Zi Yin.
"The three great masters of Chongming Dao came out together, it turns out it's you! Good...good!"
Gongsun Luo's fingers were trembling: "It turns out they are plotting against my orthodoxy!"
"No, the way to fight for the dragon is not to achieve death, just rely on one's ability." Taoist Zi Lei clasped his hands together, and his body seemed to be flashing with arcs of electricity: "For the sake of being members of the same Taoist sect, fellow Taoists immediately swore an oath,
If you no longer participate in side affairs, we will respectfully send you Taoist friends away without further words!"
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"
Gongsun Luo's eyes were about to burst, and after he clicked on the Dragon's Cave, his Zixu Guan's support for Song Gongbao could be described as heart-wrenching. Is this all going to be picked off?
"Fellow Taoist... Dasong is still orthodox. I am here with my destiny, and there is no way you can stop me." Master Zi's voice was slow and gentle, like the spring breeze blowing on his face, trying to calm down: "It's better for the two sides to give up and get back on their feet."
"I like your size!
Gongsun Luo was so angry that he yelled: "Look at me! Boom!"
Above the water, there seemed to be a dark wind sweeping through it, manifesting formation gates one after another.
But the next moment, thunder and lightning flashed.
The formation flag was immediately broken and turned into small flags falling to the ground.
Gongsun Luo's face turned earth-colored and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Master!"
The Taoist boy next to him exclaimed, and couldn't help but burst into tears. After a moment, looking at the back of the boy holding Gongsun Luo as he hobbled away, Master Ziyu sighed: "If it weren't for the timing and there was a great master covering up the secret, Zixu Guan would have been able to
If you find out, there is no need to break up. Can this person really endure it?"
Master Zi Lei put his hands in his sleeves: "You can't bear it, but you have to bear it! Since you have sworn the Dao oath, you must not participate in this dragon fight... Otherwise, the destruction of the Dao lineage will not be a joke! It is also thanks to the junior sister for choosing such key points."
Senior brother, I'm very complimentary." Ziyin
The real person said calmly, "That Tao boy is born with wisdom and wisdom, and he is Gongsun Luo's own son. It depends on him to inherit the Taoism in the future. With this presence, Gongsun Luo will definitely not dare to die!" Some Taoist lineages cannot help but get married, and it is unusual for Gongsun Luo to have a son.
thing.
Moreover, unless there is no choice to have the power and assets of Taoism and Taoism, which father would not want to pass it on to his son, but would instead pass it on to other disciples? Chongming Taoism chose this time to show off, because he also took a fancy to Sun Luo's love for his son!
