Chapter 500: Long Qianyuan, Jiang Yao’s Suppression of Political Affairs, Feng Nirvana, Yu Mu’s Exit (Big Chapter)
If this kind of thing happened in other countries, it would be completely normal.
But if it happened in the Ming Dynasty, it would be wrong.
According to the Ming Dynasty system, the prefecture and county police departments are under the jurisdiction of the prefecture and county public security bureaus. Therefore, the police departments are in the public security bureaus.
How powerful is Jiang Yao's spiritual consciousness? The formation restriction of the Public Security Department cannot block his spiritual consciousness at all.
Once his consciousness was condensed, he could easily extend it into the Public Security Bureau, but he was still unable to be discovered by them.
Suddenly, everything in the Police Department's Police Department was clearly captured by Jiang Yao.
The chief catcher of the Police Department is a master in the early stage of Wuzhen. He is sitting in the lobby, next to several big catchers who have cultivated in Wuzhen.
The chief arrest officer of the county police department is a senior official, not a very big official. However, he is in charge of the criminal investigation of a county and leads the entire county police officers, so he has considerable power.
A big catcher frowned and said: "Chief catcher, many people have reported the crime. Those women have been arrested by Heijiu and the others. Do you want to take action to arrest them?"
Tangjun Chief Catcher Dou Kuisheng said with an unhappy expression: "Hei Jiu and others are a bit arrogant. They went too far in front of everyone and made it difficult for me to do this."
He didn't say to arrest people, nor did he say not to arrest people. In his words, he was also very unhappy with Heijiu and others who had done evil.
However, he did not express his position again, nor did he mean to be anxious.
"Chief Catcher," said another big Catcher, "This matter is ultimately the responsibility of our Police Department. If the police officer knows about it, I'm afraid he will be blamed."
"What big deal is this?" Dou Kuisheng remained calm.
"How can a county have so few important cases? The Police Department has a lot to do, and the Sheriff's Department is even busier. The Sheriff has no time to take care of these."
He took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Heijiu and the others are usually sensible, and have filial piety towards you, right? There is no need to take these small things seriously. It's not about killing people and grabbing treasures, so what's the point?"
"Right now, the Police Department is short of manpower, so it's not appropriate to start a big fight over this trivial matter. Wait until it's too late to take action, tell Heijiu and the others, and beat them hard to get them to restrain themselves."
After Jiang Yao heard this, he finally understood why the growth of his will power had slowed down a lot in recent years.
It's because of these scum.
When you find a cockroach, it means there are many cockroaches hiding in the corners of the house.
How many years ago was the Ming Dynasty established?
Even in the area where local government was first established, it was only twenty-eight years old!
Twenty-eight years...is that all?
The corruption of people's hearts by power is really shocking.
Twenty or thirty years seems to be a short time. However, in Chinese history, just a few years after the establishment of Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty, corrupt officials became arrogant, forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to punish them severely with an iron fist, even peeling off skins and pulling grass.
And in the same twenty or thirty years, a certain short-lived regime in Chinese history went from being vibrant during the Northern Expedition to a complete failure on a deserted island.
But Jiang Yao still didn't expect that the government of the Ming Dynasty he created would deteriorate so quickly, far beyond his expectation.
The Ming Dynasty only conquered the fourteen states in the Western Region, and it was still a local government. Is that what it is?
Just like this, can he still unify the world?
He doesn’t even believe it himself!
Since Jinyiwei has not paid attention to it, it means that corruption in officialdom is still in local counties and is not serious yet.
But if the officialdom continues to be corrupted, that would be a different story.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but think of what his uncle Mu Wuji said:
"Those unsophisticated and humble cultivators have been suppressed for too long, and they are afraid of poverty. Once they get the power and taste the benefits, they may not care about your bullshit laws."
"Once they gain power, they won't look good. If they have the power in their hands, they won't benefit for themselves? I don't believe it."
"It seems fair that people from poor families can become officials. But once you become an official, can you still speak for the poor families?"
Jiang Yao doesn't care about the people in the arrest department for the time being. Since they haven't taken action yet, only he, His Highness Prince Ming, takes action personally and becomes the arrester.
Jiang Yao dodged and entered the cave of Hei Jiu and others.
At first glance, this cave is not something ordinary people can afford to live in. The thousands of horses in the cave are all of the highest quality.
"Haha! Bad cousin, don't you want to report to the official? Now you know how powerful you are, right?"
Hei Jiu had a ferocious smile on his face.
"The old method is to take off their clothes and wait until we get tired of playing with them, then let them write a loan deed and sell them to Ji Lou to 'pay off the debt'."
Several Wuzong monks laughed loudly, and several Wuzong women were trembling, but they were imprisoned and not only couldn't move, they couldn't even curse.
After hearing Heijiu's words, several women looked even more desperate.
They are just ordinary female cultivators from poor families. How can they compete with rich and powerful bully cultivators like Heijiu?
At this moment, a voice suddenly said:
"Very good, you are good at doing bad things. Let's see if you can still laugh."
"Who?!" Heijiu and others were startled. They all turned their heads and discovered that at some point, a strange masked man appeared in the cave.
He looks like a martial arts monk.
"Who are you! How did you get in!" Heijiu shouted, "Do you know where this place is?!"
As he spoke, a long knife was sacrificed.
Several other people sacrificed magic weapons and weapons together, full of murderous intent.
But the next moment, there was only a "clang" sound, and Heijiu's long knife fell from the air.
At the same time, several weapons and magic weapons also fell one after another, as if they had lost the magic blessing of their true essence and consciousness.
Heijiu and others were like ordinary people seeing ghosts, and their expressions changed dramatically.
They actually found that they were completely imprisoned!
At this moment, if they don't know that this masked man is at least Lord Wuzhen, they would be idiots.
"Senior..." Heijiu and the others were so frightened that they almost died.
"Senior, we have friends in the Police Department. Please be kind and let us go. We will definitely give you a big gift and apologize to you."
Heijiu said bravely.
Although they have become the dominant force in Tangcheng in recent years and have colluded with some self-destructive agents to act as a protective umbrella, they are still essentially cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong.
Of course, they are like wolves and tigers to the weak, and are extremely vicious. But once they encounter a strong or ruthless person, they will immediately lose their prestige and beg for mercy.
Several women were also stunned when they saw this scene.
Then they discovered that they and others could actually move, and they were surprised and delighted.
"Thank you, senior, for your help and life-saving..." Several women saluted and thanked Jiang Yao in shock, feeling uneasy.
Jiang Yao pointed at Hei Jiu and others, "They have been imprisoned by me. Now, you can do anything to them. I will take care of it for you. Remember, it is anything."
Several women looked at each other and understood.
They looked at Heijiu and others with hatred and contempt.
"Thank you, senior..." Several female nuns thanked them and rushed towards the imprisoned Heijiu and others.
One of the female cultivators used her true energy and kicked Heijiu hard in the crotch.
"Ouch——" Hei Jiu let out a beast-like scream, and his facial features were all hurt.
Although he is a Martial Master, but now that he is imprisoned, he was kicked to death by a Martial Master monk...
Several other martial arts sects were not spared. One by one, they were all kicked to pieces.
The only female cultivator among them was probably a family member of Heijiu and others. Although she was not kicked to death, she was slapped and turned into a pig's head.
"Sister, it's better to destroy them! To prevent them from taking revenge in the future! Senior said, we can do anything to them!"
A female cultivator said fiercely, took out a sword, pierced Heijiu's Zifu, and twisted it.
Poor Hei Jiu finally reached the level of martial arts perfection and became a mortal.
"good!"
Several other women also worked hard and took heavy action together.
Puff! Puff!
Heijiu and others were all destroyed in the Zi Mansion and became mortals without cultivation.
"Humph, you are already mortals, so I will spare your life. Soon, you will be able to taste the feeling of being bullied. Even a warrior can bully you."
"This is your retribution."
"Weren't you very arrogant and vicious before?"
Several female cultivators said with joyful expressions. People like Heijiu and others, who had been running rampant in the streets for several years, had such an end today, which really made people happy.
"Senior..." After several female cultivators finished preparing Heijiu and others, they discovered that the benefactor who saved their lives had left at some point.
………
The seventh day of August in the third year of Hongwu is a day that will be remembered by the Ming Dynasty official circles.
The entire Tang County, from the county governor to the county magistrate, to the policemen and tax collectors, were all dismissed from their posts and investigated!
All officials in a county, good or bad, were deprived of their positions across the board.
One size fits all!
Especially the public security yamen were almost destroyed.
From the security envoy to the chief catcher to ordinary catchers, regardless of guilt or innocence, they are all sent to prison! Chief catcher Dou Kuisheng has even designated the key criminals to be executed immediately!
The ferocity of the treatment, the wide range of involvement, and the ruthlessness of the methods are simply unprecedented.
His Highness Prince Ming, who has always been kind and generous to officials, showed his ferocious side to officials for the first time.
Many officials were wrongly accused.
Although they knew or heard that their colleagues committed corruption, they themselves did not join in the corruption and even fought against it.
The administration of officials in the Ming Dynasty was generally clear and clear, and the number of good officials far outnumbered the bad ones.
However, Prince Ming still showed no mercy at all and actually accompanied and kidnapped him. Rather than letting him go in vain, he decided to dismiss them all first.
He was determined to use the topic to his advantage and use the official career of an entire county to complete a shocking case.
Immediately, the cause of the incident was announced to the world.
The entire Ming Dynasty was shaken.
On the same day, King Ming suddenly issued the "Edict to Supress Government" and announced the deployment of a large array of clean government supervision, with Zhicheng, the minister of Zhendao Temple, in charge of the project.
Anyone can report corruption and violations of the law in various places through the Integrity Supervision Formation.
If local officials receive more than 10% of complaints from people in their jurisdiction, they will automatically initiate an investigation.
If it exceeds 30%, the removal case will be initiated.
If the number of complaints exceeds 50%, the official will automatically lose their power and the people will have the right to enter the yamen directly, arrest the officials, criticize them, and conduct public trials.
Officials below the seventh rank are all appointed on the recommendation of the common people.
City defense troops in various places must also stand on the side of the people when necessary and arrest officials suspected of committing crimes.
Once an official is found guilty of a crime, the entire family will be disqualified from taking the imperial examination and serving as a general.
The "Su Zheng Zhao" is equivalent to giving all the power of appointment and removal of middle and low-level officials to the people. At the same time, the people are allowed to participate in the supervision of middle and high-level officials.
At the same time, a law was formulated to punish officials for crimes.
The "Edict to Supress Government" also stipulates that the seventh day of August every year is designated as the Integrity Day. A large-scale anti-corruption campaign will be carried out throughout the Ming Dynasty. Those who report meritorious services will be heavily rewarded!
At the same time, the Ministry of Officials, Jinyiwei, Dali Temple, and Yushitai jointly established a political investigation platform to vigorously investigate officials in various places.
The first "government crackdown" began.
The furious King Ming issued a series of royal orders one after another, hitting the officials with swords and needles.
King Ming directly stated at the court meeting:
"Corrupt officials, who are either corrupt or derelict in their duties, are the enemies lurking in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. How can we be merciful to our enemies?"
In addition to the "Edict of Suzheng", there is also the "Edict of Jing'an".
Except in the dueling arena of the government, no one is allowed to fight or attack others.
Those who rely on the strong to bully the weak and those who commit crimes and commit crimes are all enemies. If the local officials do not arrest them, they themselves are the enemies.
Where public security is poor, local officials may be enemies.
King Ming's attitude was very clear. He would rather offend officials than capture the hearts and minds of the people. He just wanted to kill officials as a warning to officials, and this sudden incident severely reminded all officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Don’t forget your own identity. You, the poor people, have only been officials for ten or twenty years, and you don’t know who you are anymore?
More than 80% of the officials are still the reformists who firmly support Jiang Yao. Their original intentions have not changed, and they still represent the demands of the monks from poor families and the Ming Dynasty.
However, as many as 10% of officials have deteriorated under the influence of power for many years.
No longer think of yourself as a poor family.
These few officials finally had to pay a heavy price for their greed.
One after another, the edicts were issued vigorously and resolutely, and Jiang Yao's wish level unexpectedly skyrocketed again.
It easily exceeded the 10 million mark!
………
When the wish value exceeded 10 million, Jiang Yao was going to court.
There was a mournful voice in his thoughts, Jiang Yao's heart light suddenly turned on, and the spiritual platform roared.
Immediately afterwards, countless golden lights with vast rhymes emitted from Jiang Yao's body.
Under the brilliance of the bright moon, a bright moon slowly rose above Jiang Yao's head. The halo was bright and majestic, like an ancient god.
When all the officials saw this strange scene, they were all stunned.
At this moment, their king is really the god of heaven, with a majestic aura of greatness that makes people look up to the mountains.
Even Mi Cang, the veteran great sage, could not help but stand in awe and be horrified when he saw Jiang Yao.
"This...is indeed a descendant of Shennong, so extraordinary."
The strong men of the divine religion who served the Ming Kingdom all respected him when they saw this.
As Jiang Yao's wish power value exceeded the tens of millions mark, his wish power magical power was like an enlightenment, and he rose to a great level in an instant.
The overwhelming power in his thoughts was as surging as the sea and majestic, which greatly improved Jiang Yao's state of mind.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel an upright and bright feeling in his heart.
Is this the attainment of the ‘perfect person’?
His magical power once again surpassed his martial arts skills and became the most powerful magical power.
Now that he has achieved the status of "The Perfect Man", he is no longer afraid even when facing Jiang Zhengyi.
Even if you can't defeat him, you can still protect yourself.
"Your Majesty..."
The ministers were so impressed by the vision produced by Jiang Yao that they couldn't help but salute again.
They don't know what happened to the king, but they know that it must be a good thing. The king's strength is becoming more and more unfathomable now, which is of course a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.
Jiang Yao sat high on the throne, looking past the ministers, the majestic Daming Palace, and the increasingly prosperous Jiang Jing, with his consciousness extending into the vast Jiang Shui.
This young man wanted to open his arms and embrace this strange world.
I am the perfect person!
I am for all sentient beings!
My public heart has no self!
…
In the back garden of the Forbidden City, under the brilliant autumn light, a little girl is catching butterflies.
This little girl dressed in pink and jade looks like she is only ten years old, but she is already a martial arts cultivator.
But her actual age is already over twenty years old.
This little girl is, of course, Jiang Lingyun, who was granted the title of Princess Yangshan by the Great Ming Lord, the apple of His Highness Prince Ming's eye.
A sleek fifth-level demon dog was sitting under a begonia, wagging its head and tail.
A pair of dog eyes looked at the little girl Jiang Lingyun with a sarcastic expression.
It's a pity that he hasn't transformed yet and can't speak. Otherwise, this bitch would definitely say:
"Why are you catching so many butterflies? Can you eat them?"
The little girl suddenly stopped and turned to look at Hei Quan, with disdain in Yue Ya's eyes, "Xiao Hei, can you talk with your dog eyes?"
"Are you thinking, what is the use of my princess catching butterflies? Hum, what do you know, a dog?"
This black dog is also very famous in the palace city. It is the royal dog guard: Xiaohei with a fifth-grade salary.
The fifth-grade dog guard is a bit arrogant in the palace. It is the king's favorite dog. It is said that it was the king's hunting dog when he was young, and he grew up with the king.
It once learned to write, and then used its paws to write on the ground and said: My dog guard is the earliest royal servant of the king.
In addition, this dog is not only arrogant, but also a bit domineering, so the palace nicknamed it "Dog Master".
At this time, the canine was actually ridiculed by the little princess Jiang Lingyun.
Although Lord Dog is a fifth-level monster and the "original follower", he can still keep his conscience in front of the little princess.
So, Master Dog stood up, ran to Jiang Lingyun and knelt down, wagging his tail and writing with his dog paws with a cheerful smile:
"Princess, please mount your horse."
This fifth-level demon god with his nose turned upward in front of the palace guards has no dignity at all in front of the little princess.
Jiang Lingyun snorted and rode on the back of the dog guard triumphantly, "What do you know? Let me tell you Xiao Hei, these butterflies are alien species that I deliberately lured."
"Hmph, this kind of butterfly has the aura of an elf, which is very beneficial to me."
Suddenly, the dog-sama let out a howl, and with Jiang Lingyun on his back, he shot out like lightning and appeared in front of a young man, with a big fluffy tail wagging out a series of afterimages.
Inu-sama, who was extremely arrogant in front of others, was now so passionate and joyful that he was about to fly with joy.
Because it was so excited, the words written on its paws were also crooked: "Master Divination..."
"Haha, Lingyun, why are you playing with Xiao Hei again?" Who is this boy if not Jiang Yao?
"Daddy!" When Jiang Lingyun saw Jiang Yao, her big black eyes suddenly smiled into two narrow crescents, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth.
Then, with a vertical movement of her little body, she jumped from the dog's back into her father's arms.
"Haha!" Jiang Yao laughed heartily and hugged Princess Yangshan, "Lingyun, you are not young anymore, why are you still so naughty?"
Seeing this biological daughter, Jiang Yao's worries were swept away, and she couldn't help but think of Yu Kuan when she was a child.
This is definitely a kiss, can it not be considered a treasure?
Jiang Lingyun hung up Jiang Yao's neck, pressed her little head against Jiang Yao's forehead and shouted:
"Daddy won't take me out! My two aunts are not fun either, and the Queen Mother doesn't have time to play with me. The only one who plays with me is Xiao Hei."
Jiang Yao touched her bun and said, "When dad goes to the Eastern Region in a while, he will definitely take my little cotton-padded jacket with him."
The dog guard kept shaking his head and wagging his tail, looking at Jiang Yao eagerly.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Hei's appearance:
"You should stay at home and look after the door. If you want to be my hunting dog and follow me out, you must be at least a seventh-level demon saint."
"Ouch—" Master Inu was immediately disappointed when he heard this. He couldn't help but let out a whimper. Even his tail was wagging weakly.
"Haha!" Jiang Yao couldn't help laughing again when he saw it.
This dog is really good at acting. He is worthy of being the one who once deceived a female wolf.
Jiang Yao hugged Jiang Lingyun and said to Xiao Hei: "Follow me."
Xiao Hei suddenly smiled, and his tail whirled like wind again.
Jiang Yao went to a nearby quiet room and took out Shennong's fortune cauldron.
Jiang Lingyun is a medicine elf. When she sensed the medicinal scent of Shen Nong's Fortune Cauldron, she suddenly blurted out with joy on her face:
"Shennong's fortune cauldron!"
The little princess sniffed greedily, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry.
"Dad, what an ancient medicinal charm... wu wu..."
She looked at Shen Nong's fortune cauldron and wanted to get in.
Jiang Yao quickly said:
"Don't worry, daughter, dad is going to use the medicinal spiritual energy of Shen Nong's Fortune Cauldron today to improve your cultivation."
After saying that, he grabbed Jiang Lingyun and put it into the cauldron of Shen Nong's Creation Cauldron. "You can practice in it and you will definitely be able to break the Nascent Soul within three days."
Jiang Lingyun was put into the cauldron, as happy as a little mouse falling into a rice vat or a fish falling into a river.
As a medicine elf, the medicinal aura of Shennong's Fortune Cauldron is a great tonic and a great opportunity for her.
Jiang Lingyun got into Shennong's fortune cauldron and immediately forgot about the existence of her father Jiang Yao.
Only Xiao Hei was left wagging his tail desperately.
Jiang Yao stroked Xiao Hei's hair and said, "Xiao Hei, your bloodline is limited. In this life, you will only be a level six monster at most. You can no longer transform."
"Ouch—" Master Inu's heart was about to break when he heard this. His pair of dog eyes suddenly dimmed, and the afterimage of his tail disappeared.
However, the dog still wrote on the ground with his paw:
"As long as he can follow his master, Xiao Hei is just an ordinary dog and is content with it."
A truly loyal dog.
Jiang Yao patted Xiao Hei, "But, who said you, Master Quan, are my earliest followers? If I can help you upgrade, I will be a good person and do it to the end."
After saying that, Jiang Yao used the demon seal, "This thing must be kept secret."
"Ouch—" Xiao Hei was overjoyed, his tail turned into an afterimage again, and suddenly the room was filled with wind.
Feeling the demonic energy of the demon-sealing seal, Xiao Hei's bones softened. He lay on the ground, bowed his head, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
"This is your last upgrade. I'll give you a good fortune."
Xiao Hei's bloodline has been upgraded twice. The first time was when Yu Yan used the five elements of creation to upgrade to level three. The second time was when he used the energy of chaos to upgrade to level five.
Jiang Yao performed the trick, and the demon wish power of the demon seal came out, and the extremely pure demon energy gurgled into Xiao Hei's body.
Xiao Hei's demonic aura suddenly became pure and noble at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Inu-sama's bloodline has once again risen to a higher level, and he is truly worthy of the title of Inu-sama.
"Okay Xiao Hei, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult to cultivate to the point where the demon saint transforms into a demon. However, you have consumed five thousand of my precious demon wish power."
The fur on Xiao Hei's body is even more shiny and black, giving him a noble aura.
Even the cultivation level has reached the fifth level of perfection.
Although its bloodline is not as good as the bloodline of divine beasts like the Nine-Headed Yuanhui, it is already the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon, which is a noble bloodline among monster beasts.
The dog looked at Jiang Yao with tears in his eyes, wishing he could carve the words "loyalty" on the dog's head.
…
In the eleventh year of Zhou Tianshou, it was the first day of September in the third year of Hongwu.
The Eastern Territory Allied Forces, which persisted in resisting for several years, were finally defeated at Puyuandu, losing more than one million elite troops.
General Sima Daoan of the Zhou army led the main force of the Zhou army to successfully land.
Just when the Eastern Territory Allied Forces were desperately resisting the Zhou army, they were suddenly shocked to hear that the demon tribe Qi State had sent troops to march westward and had broken through the Great Wall along the coast and attacked the Haixi area.
The Zhou army landed in the west and the Qi army landed in the east. The originally powerful Eastern Territory Allied Forces suddenly collapsed.
Zhou Jun took the opportunity to surrender the Eastern Territory Allied Forces under the banner of resisting the demon tribe. After promising to give certain preferential treatment conditions, he finally surrendered the main force of the Eastern Territory Allied Forces.
It turns out that many generals in the Eastern Territory Allied Forces had long been bribed by the Zhou army. The reason why they resisted the Zhou Army in recent years was actually to consume the strength of the Eastern Territory warlords and compensate the Zhou family with the interests of some Eastern Territory warlords.
Yu Yan had long expected that Qi Jun would take advantage of the situation to rob him, so he had already arranged his backup plan.
She took advantage of the Qi army's western invasion to force the Eastern Region Allied Forces to surrender.
Sure enough, after the Eastern Territory Allied Forces surrendered to the Zhou Army, the power of the Eastern Territory Warlords was greatly weakened. The Zhou Dynasty court obtained a lot of territory directly under its jurisdiction, and took the opportunity to depose a number of Eastern Territory Warlords.
Only a group of martial lords who had secretly surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty were retained.
Then, with the power of a great victory, the Zhou army took the lead in the surrender of the Eastern Territory Allied Forces, and under the banner of righteousness to conquer the demon tribe and defend the Divine Continent, they attacked the Qi army that landed in the Eastern Territory.
Yu Yan's backhand plan has been planned for several years, and it can be said that he kills three birds with one stone and is foolproof.
The Qi State's army of more than two million invaded the Eastern Territory, and quickly captured the seven Haixi states. Then they captured Tiandai Pass and invaded the hinterland of the Eastern Territory.
They happened to encounter millions of Zhou troops coming from the Eastern Expedition.
The two armies fought for several months.
The Zhou army's reinforcements continued to flow, and the Qi army's troops were in short supply, so they could only retreat to Tiandai Pass and defend the pass.
In the spring of the next year, the two armies faced off.
So far, thirty-seven states in the east and seven states in Haixi were occupied by the Qi State, and the remaining thirty states were occupied by the Zhou army.
The Zhou Kingdom suddenly became the largest country in the world with eighty-six states, accounting for 65% of the territory of Shenzhou.
It can be said to have unified most of the Divine Continent.
For a time, even the Ten Thousand Immortals Army and Shenzhou Camp on the front line of the Northern Territory had to send envoys to the Zhou court to congratulate them, with the intention of joining forces and returning to Zhou Dynasty.
Although the Qi State made little progress and failed to realize the strategic plan of "equally dividing the Eastern Region" with the Zhou State, it still gained a piece of fat meat by gaining the seven Haixi states.
However, Qi was not satisfied, and its ambition to plot the Eastern Region was not extinguished, so it continued to increase its troops from the east in an attempt to completely defeat the Zhou army and monopolize the Eastern Region.
In fact, occupying the Eastern Region is the long-cherished wish of the Monster Clan.
The Monster Clan has even threatened many times that the Eastern Territory should belong to the Monster Clan. The Monster Clan has had ambitions for the Eastern Territory since ancient times, and has also landed and invaded the West many times.
There is no way, judging from the geographical location of Qi State, the Eastern Region is indeed the best direction for expansion, and it is also the most beneficial territory for the Demon Territory.
Nowadays, the demon clan with the plot of the Eastern Region has occupied the seven states of Haixi and has a continental base in the Eastern Region. How can it be spit out?
In the same way, how can others be allowed to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch? The Zhou Kingdom will never tolerate the demon clan occupying the seven Haixi states for a long time, and will definitely take them back.
As a result, the two countries Zhou and Qi are bound to fight for several years.
Because the Shenzhou warlords were scattered, they were originally afraid of war with the demon clan and would rather pay tribute to buy peace. But now that the Zhou Kingdom has unified most of the Shenzhou, how can they still be afraid of the demon clan?
The Zhou Kingdom is not afraid of big fights. It can just take advantage of the opportunity to resist the demon clan, win over people's hearts, unite and support the forces of the Zhou Dynasty, and establish the orthodox concept of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This is all Yu Yan's conspiracy, a chess move that has been arranged long ago.
Even though she was hiding in seclusion to practice, Zhou Guo's general strategy in the past few years was all based on her expectations and had been planned in advance.
Although the Zhou Kingdom added thirty states in the Eastern Region and became the largest country, it was not the strongest country. This was because the thirty states in the Eastern Region had not yet been digested and transformed into Zhou's national strength.
The most powerful military country in the world today is actually the Charming Tapir Khanate. The second most powerful country is the Qing Dynasty.
The military strength of Zhou, Qi, Chu and Liang was almost equal.
Followed by the Sui Kingdom and the Buddha Mother Kingdom.
At the bottom is the Ming Kingdom. Although the Ming Army is powerful, the Ming Kingdom is too small, with only fourteen states and the smallest number of troops.
What’s more interesting is that although the Ming Dynasty was the weakest, it ushered in the best period of strategic development.
Including the Charming Tapir Khanate, there are twelve independent forces in the world, and eleven of them are fighting each other.
The Witch Domain is clearly fighting to the death, and the Demon Domain Liang and Sui are fighting to the death.
The two tribes in Biluo Jianshan are fighting with the charmed tapir, and the Shenzhou camp is also fighting with the charmed tapir.
Zhou Qi started to fight again.
Only the Ming Dynasty has no war for the time being, but is concentrating on development. Everyone is unhappy with the Ming Dynasty, but no one cares about it.
Although the Ming Dynasty was small, it had the vast Infinite Desert in the east, Fanshan Mountain in the south, and Tianhuang River in the north.
Although there are powerful demon enemies in the west, where there is no natural danger, the Biluo Mountain Tribe was beaten by the Charming Tapirs and the Liang Kingdom was restrained by the Sui Kingdom.
The Ming Dynasty actually lived a carefree life. It can be said that the scenery here is unique.
Would you say it's irritating or not?
Taking advantage of this rare period of opportunity, the Ming Dynasty's reform and military strengthening cause was in full swing, and everything was going smoothly.
The entire Ming Dynasty was undergoing rapid changes.
…
The Zhou Kingdom made great progress, but Yu Kuan still did not return to the court.
At this time, Yu Yan was not in Shenzhou at all.
Void Sea, Dong Yu Sect, the first secret realm: Toad Light Fairy Ruins.
Although the rules here are not complete, they are much better than outside.
It is one of the few secret cultivation realms where the poisoning is the mildest.
The Mahayana masters of the Eastern Yu Sect all achieved breakthroughs in the Toad Light Immortal Ruins. In this secret realm, they can cultivate to the perfection of the Mahayana at most.
This is an important reason why Dongyu Sect is powerful.
On a mountain with ethereal fairy energy in Toad Light Fairy Ruins, a terrifying thunder disaster had just passed.
A fairy in lotus clothes floated down.
This is a woman of the second level of martial arts and sage. She has outstanding grace, unparalleled elegance, breathtaking beauty, almost Taoist beauty.
Especially that kind of noble temperament makes people look up at him and dare not look at him.
"It turns out that my previous life was so wonderful."
The woman said to herself, her eyes as bright and deep as stars, filled with indescribable complexity.
She suddenly remembered something and directly sacrificed the Fengpan Pearl, activated it and teleported away.
The next moment, she appeared in front of a mysterious huge volcano.
The surroundings are extremely desolate, and I don’t know where it is.
"Sure enough, here, I was quite thoughtful in my previous life."
"No wonder the Cui family is a descendant of the past generations. It turns out that the Cui family is not a pure human race, but has the blood of Xuanfeng."
"Is the ancient Xuan Feng blood hidden in the previous life still inside? If it was refined..."
In the terrifying fire realm, an ancient temple with a phoenix carved on it loomed.
She just walked directly into the terrifying realm of fire and entered the ancient Phoenix Palace.
After a long time, the terrifying fire domain became more powerful, and a phoenix screamed into the sky.
"唳——"
In the fire domain, a huge phoenix shadow appeared, carrying monstrous flames.
"唳——"
Immediately, the huge phoenix shadow disappeared into smoke, as if it was burned by fire.
A full forty-nine days have passed.
The terrifying flame slowly became smaller and smaller, and finally went out completely.
The huge volcano is gone.
Only an abandoned Phoenix Temple remains.
Ancient, desolate, grand, with the phantom of ancient times.
Immediately, a woman walked out of the Phoenix Temple in a hurry.
Her demeanor is more noble and her Taoism is more lofty.
On her round pink forehead, there was a small black phoenix pattern, which added to her beautiful, ancient and noble temperament.
As for her cultivation, she is already...a real Mahayana master!
