On the first day of May in the thirteenth year of Longqing, under the cover of naval guns, the Kwantung garrison captured Xinping Mansion, an important town in Li State, in one fell swoop after half a day of fierce fighting. In this battle, the garrison lost three people to death and injured eighteen others.
More than 360 people were beheaded and more than 3,600 Li soldiers were captured.
In fact, in the battle of Xinpingfu, far more than 360 Li soldiers were killed. Many of the corpses were separated, and the heads and limbs could not be pieced together into a complete body. These were all caused by Fulu cannons.
According to the words of the garrison commander Kazuki Kumamoto, the results of the war were "all puddles of flesh and blood." In the end, only more than 360 corpses could be counted. According to the prisoners, there were between 30,000 and 50,000 troops in Xinping Prefecture.
, but because General Nguyen Xin Phuc of Li State escaped first, and none of the senior generals were among the prisoners, the specific number is unknown for the time being. According to the principle of choosing the higher rather than the lower, the result reported by the Ming army was "the main army of Li State was defeated by 50,000, and the government army was three
Ten thousand".
After occupying Tan Binh Province, it was equivalent to cutting off the north and south of the country of Li, which shocked the whole country of Li. The court of the country of Li made two preparations. On the one hand, it mobilized a large army and went south to Ngee An Palace to wait for an opportunity to regain Tan Binh; on the other hand, it sent envoys
Go to Yingtian and ask why Ming Dynasty "raised unjust troops".
Until the Xin Binh Port was built and the third batch of container ships loaded with red sandalwood and incense trees were delivered to Longjiang Port in Yingtianfu, the Li envoy failed to hand over his credentials - the Li envoy had just gone to the Ministry of Etiquette to host the guest.
manage.
Xinpingfu was occupied for five months, and the mining of various minerals reached its peak. The garrison army transformed from an occupying force into a supervisor, supervising the mining and logging of prisoners of war. At the same time, the local organization organized the purchase of grain, and loaded it with various resources on ships. There was a steady flow.
Supplied to the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Zhao Ran had just completed the work of the eighth season of popularizing the Dharma. He entered the visualization diagram for 3,000 Shifang Jungle monks and accepted more than 20 Huangguan Perfect Shifang Jungle Taoist monks as his disciples.
They have the method of forming elixirs and elixirs to generate spiritual consciousness.
The difference in the practice of merit cultivation method is too huge. It is completely based on the absorption of merit power. The method has been popularized and spread to this day. If it is the first time the method was taught in the first year of Longqing, it has been twelve years. Some people have succeeded in forming elixirs and even went straight to the university.
They left as Dharma masters - such as Lu Zhiyu and Zhuge Jiaguang. Some people still stay in the realm of Taoist priests and have not even touched the threshold of Taoist priests.
Kong Yangqingzhen has firmly secured the throne of the governor of the South China Sea, and has held Xinping Mansion in his hands as scheduled according to the plan, and has begun to obtain various resources that the Ming Dynasty lacks from the Li Kingdom. However, in his conversation with Zhao Ran, he also made it clear that
He is temporarily prepared to call it quits. This is not because he does not want to make progress, but to make plans and leave room for those who come after him. In the final analysis, his job is just the governor of the South China Sea, and his jurisdiction is only the South China Sea, spanning the countries south of the mountain.
Affairs are not within the scope of his authority. If Li Guo and other places are occupied by him, what should he do if he calls for latecomers?
As for latecomers, it is said that the joint meeting has already begun planning the Annan Governorate.
Zhao Ran supports Kong Zhenren's idea, but he believes that the economic occupation of the Twelve Li Prefectures south of Xinping Prefecture can be carried out and included in the development track of the Ming Dynasty through trade means. This requires Kong Zhenren to start in advance.
.
In Zhao Ran's plan, there will be four governorates in the area south of Hengduan Mountain in the future: Annan Governorate, Champa Governorate, Siam Governorate and Myanmar Governorate. This peninsula is so big that it is close to three
Yingzhou also has too many people, and no one knows the exact number. If they are all concentrated in one governor-general, it will not be conducive to checks and balances.
But these matters cannot distract Zhao Ran for the time being. He is now fully focused on the cultivation of the Yang God in his body, waiting for the arrival of an important time.
Unknowingly, another year passed, and February of the 14th year of Longqing came quickly. This day was the year of Zhao Ranzhi's destiny, and he was already fifty years old.
It was on this day, the ninth year after Zhao Ran entered the Great Refiner Realm, that the Yang God Nascent Soul in his body was the same age as him, one on the outside and the other on the inside, like twin brothers, which finally made him reach the level of the Great Refiner Realm.
reach perfection.
His practice was so fast, apart from saving millions of people in the capital's rebellion, the rest of his merits came from the Huai River Control Project and the empowering chain of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Dragon Great Forbidden Technique.
The Huai River Control Project has benefited all people. Needless to say, the power of merits and virtues. The rewards of the special skill of empowering chains should not be underestimated. If one person teaches the Dharma, 1% of the merits of the other party's practice will be attributed to his Qihai. Over the years
He teaches the Dharma to 20,000 people, which is equivalent to 20,000 people conveying merit power to him day and night. In addition, the refining efficiency of his essence is eight times that of before. The speed of practice is unimaginable to ordinary people.
So Zhao Ran decided not to wait any longer. He came to the small world of Louguan and confessed his sins to the teacher: "Teacher, my disciple Yang Shen has perfected his cultivation and is the same inside and outside. He can break through the realm."
Jiang Tenghe was startled for a moment, his eyes full of complexity, and then he smiled to himself: "Master, you are actually jealous. It can be seen that there is no end to the practice. Zhiran, when will you go into seclusion? Master will protect you personally."
Hearing Jiang Tenghe's voice, the master's wife in the room also came out and said to Zhao Ran: "It's a blessing for me and Tenghe to have a disciple like you. Zhiran, feel free to retreat. How long will it take this time? Although your teacher and I can't teach you
How to break the void, but it can help you when you are in danger."
Zhao Ran bowed down respectfully: "A disciple is always a disciple, and a teacher is always a teacher." After being helped up by Jiang Tenghe, he added: "It doesn't take long, just a moment." After saying that, he sat down in front of the door and closed his eyes.
Knot.
The Yang Shen in the sea of qi in the body also sat down and made seals with Zhao Ran. After a while, the two Zhao Ran heads inside and outside appeared with three flowers, which were as real as they were in shape. After a while, an almost transparent Taoist priest emerged from the jade pillow, with a facial expression.
There is not the slightest difference from Zhao Ran, only three inches in size. After the phantom Zhao Ran jumped out of the main body, he landed on the opposite side of the main body. The two Zhao Rans, one big and one small, opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, smiled, and bowed three times to each other.
The phantom Zhao Ran chuckled lightly: "Go out for a walk." After saying that, he floated up and left the small world of Louguan.
The main body Zhao Ran is still sitting on the same spot, with his eyes closed, what the phantom Zhao Ran saw and heard in the Dajun Mountain is reflected in his body. After turning around in a circle, he summons the phantom Zhao Ran back and returns to the sea of qi.
Warm and nourish.
When Zhao Ran got up, he happened to meet his senior brother Wei Zhizhen rushing in from outside. When he saw Zhao Ran, he immediately asked: "There are three-color auspicious clouds covering the back mountain. Is this junior brother in the void?"
Jiang Tenghe breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's so fast. Zhiran has entered the void, and I finally have a master of void cultivation in Lou Guan."
Wei Zhizhen nodded: "Sure enough, you are ahead of me. Congratulations, junior brother."
Zhao Liniang asked: "If your temple has entered the emptiness, which sect do you belong to? Do you call it a real person or a heavenly master?"
Jiang Tenghe said: "The Lou Guan Kung Fu not only trains the heaven and the earth, but also trains the inner universe. Heavenly Master and Real Person are just titles. The final position will be determined by heaven."
Zhao Ran thought about the taste: "Zhenren Zhao? Celestial Master Zhao? Zhenren Zhao? Celestial Master Zhao? Which one does the teacher like?"
