Chen Kui stood on horseback, picked up wooden sticks as thick as fists with both hands, and said hello to his head, forehead, left and right cheeks, and face. All four wooden sticks were broken, and finally he chopped with a steel knife.
Except for a soft sound on his forehead, not even a hair of Chen Kui fell.
The iron head skill of horizontal training is a great success!
"Dharma, wealth, lovers, land, it's not just about practicing Taoism, it's also about practicing martial arts." Chen Kui put the steel knife in his hand on the shelf and said with emotion.
"In the past two years, the various medicinal materials consumed in practicing Hengqigong alone, if converted into money, might be able to train a team of 5,000 people. It is an inexplicable luxury. Maybe this is the heavenly book of martial arts.
The reason why I was thrown into the Water Margin world is that without the support of such a huge power in Liangshan, how could I sustain such consumption?"
"It's you, Martial Arts Book, what's going on with you!" Looking at the Martial Arts Book floating in front of him, Chen Kui felt helpless. The "gas" surrounding the Martial Arts Book is still there.
After Daming Mansion defeated Lu Junyi, the gas never disappeared.
Because the Book of Martial Arts is open now, the gas is suppressed under the Book. Chen Kui still hasn't figured out what this gas is. In the past two years, Chen Kui has tried various methods, but unfortunately
, there was no response from the Book of Martial Arts.
Anyway, Chen Kui used every method he could think of.
"Why do I feel that there is such a vague connection between this ball of gas and me? Is it luck?"
"But it's not like this. In the past two years or so, Liangshan has focused on cultivating internal strength, and the people under the rule have lived and worked in peace and contentment. It is not an exaggeration to say that they do not close their doors at night. In addition, the territory has also grown a lot, but the gas has not grown in any way. This is also
It doesn't make sense." Chen Kui shook his head again, denying his guess.
More than two years have passed since Chen Kui led his army to attack Kaifeng. Over the past two years, the world has been changing. The Jurchens among the black mountains and white waters in the Northeast established the Jin Kingdom two years ago. Now their power has become stronger and stronger.
The country gradually could no longer suppress this group of Jurchens. Since last year, the main attention of the Liao Kingdom had shifted to the Kingdom of Jin, and it no longer had the time to pay attention to Liangshan and the Song Dynasty.
As the nominal ruler of the Central Plains, Zhao Ji had no intention of repenting after moving the capital to Chang'an. He did not think that there was anything wrong with him. On the contrary, he thought that he had defeated the Liao Dynasty, recaptured Yanmen and other places, and created a new era.
Unprecedented ambition and great achievements.
Zhao Ji would have this kind of misunderstanding. In fact, to a certain extent, it was inevitable because Liangshan was mainly practicing internal skills in these years and rarely caused trouble for the Song Dynasty.
Daliao is now trying its best to deal with the Jurchens, and has no ability to help Tian Hu who is guarding Shanxi. Under the encirclement and suppression by the Zhongjia Army and Zhejia Army, Tian Hu has been destroyed, and the Song Army even captured some of the Liao Kingdom's
Territory, for this reason, Zhao Ji was very proud.
What makes Zhao Ji even more proud is that of the "five great bandits" in the Song Dynasty, only two are now "living on", and the world is just around the corner!
The so-called "Five Great Bandits" refer to Chen Kui from Liangshan, Fang La from Jiangnan, Song Jiang from Huaidong, Wang Qing from Huaixi and Tian Hu from Shanxi. Now only Chen Kui from Liangshan and La from Jiangnan are left.
But the actual situation is that Wang Qing of Huaixi was wiped out by Liangshan and had nothing to do with the imperial court. Huaixi has become the territory of Liangshan. Although Tian Hu was defeated by the Western Army, it also caused the Western Army to lose troops.
, What’s even more terrible is that in order to maintain its strength and keep the statistics looking good, the Western Army absorbed many of Tian Hu’s old troops. Although the Western Army has hardly decreased in terms of quantity, its strength, haha...
One grain of rat droppings can ruin a pot of porridge, let alone a pile of rat droppings this time.
The Western Army was basically destroyed.
Song Jiang took the initiative to seek help and was now ordered to fight with Fang La in the south of the Yangtze River.
More than two years ago, Song Jiang died in Jiangzhou. Song Jiang is Song Jiang after all. Although he missed the opportunity in Liangshan, he was destined to be unwilling to be lonely. He was a big scene when he appeared.
Song Jiang is worthy of being the son of the plane with the aura of the protagonist. As soon as the name "Hu Baoyi Song Jiang" was raised, heroes from all walks of life came to vote for him.
More than fifty leaders gathered together.
After Song Jiang, who was loyal to the imperial court, developed his power to a large enough level, he began to actively seek recruitment. The minister came up with a way to control the enemy with bandits, recruited Song Jiang, and asked him to lead his headquarters to attack Fang La.
.
Why not let Song Jiang deal with Liangshan instead of Fang La?
It's very simple, because Jiangnan is an important tax area of the Song Dynasty. If he doesn't capture Jiangnan, Zhao Ji won't have enough money to spend. Zhao Ji has so many wonderful artistic ideas, and they all need money to support them. For example, Zhao Ji recently planned to build another one in Chang'an.
The larger Long Live Mountain will be reborn as a flower-and-stone garden.
Although Song Jiang's army seems strong, it is still much weaker than in the novel. Facing a strong enemy like Fang La, the two sides quickly fell into a stalemate. However, no matter how you look at it, Fang La was about to lose his strength and was retreating.
.
In this way, only Liangshan is left. How could Zhao Ji be unhappy in this situation?
This is about to bring great order to the world. Cai Jing and others are even thinking about whether after solving the Liangshan problem by then, they can take the opportunity to go to Mount Tai to enshrine themselves.
But the actual situation is that the continuous wars have exhausted the accumulation of the Song Dynasty. Huge military expenditures and a corrupt bureaucracy have made the people miserable. There are complaints and complaints everywhere. Resistance uprisings have occurred in many places.
But Zhao Ji will never know this.
If two years ago, when Liangshan invaded Kaifeng, the big tree of the Song Dynasty was only rotten internally, but the outer shell was still relatively intact and could barely maintain the life of the big tree, then now, this big tree is rotten from the inside.
Everything is rotten outside.
All that is missing now is a push hand, which is enough to knock down the entire tree.
And Liang Shan has to act as the promoter, at least that's what Chen Kui thinks.
In the past two years, except for the annihilation of Wang Qing and the annexation of Huaixi, Liangshan has not taken any large-scale military operations in the Song Dynasty. Liangshan seems to be content with the status quo, but in fact, Liangshan's expansion has never stopped.
There was no movement in the Song Dynasty, but there were vigorous wars overseas. Goguryeo, Japan, and Ryukyu all became excellent places for Liangshan to train troops, especially Japan, which provided a large amount of gold and silver to Liangshan, and Ryukyu became Liangshan's overseas
An outpost of trade.
Internally, in addition to military training, the economy, agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce all developed on a large scale. Especially after the popularization of the assembly line operation pioneered by Chen Kui, the various commodities produced in Liangshan occupied most of the Song and Liao dynasties.
The market provided Liangshan with huge profits.
What really shows Chen Kui's ambition is not the above news, but the fact that Chen Kui has cultivated a large number of bureaucrats. These people may not be great scholars, and may not even have read the Four Books and Five Classics, but they have the ability to handle local affairs.
, that’s nothing to say.
"Creak..."
Pushing open the door to the practice room, he looked up at the sky.
"It's almost time. If we don't move, everyone in the world will almost forget about me, Liangshan!"
