The contrast between Zhang Cong's iron-bloodedness and gentleness shocked the people of the entire Longyao Empire. This young Dragon Emperor was merciless to his enemies, and could be said to be extremely cruel, but he was also considerate of the people, from reducing taxes to
A complete welfare system was established, the threshold for becoming an official was abolished, and Taoist academies were established, giving common people a chance to get ahead.
After a month of running-in period, the change of legal authority has been completely on the right track. From the construction of the team, to the development of the holy religion, to the elimination of the remaining poison of the religious sect, to the adjustment of the personnel of the legal palace, everything has been completed within a month.
It was handled in an orderly manner, and Zhang Cong really discovered a large number of good ministers who could govern the country.
Hong Yan has been promoted to the chief assistant of the empire, and Yu Heihu serves as the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Team. The country's 500,000 Dragon Team and 100,000 Holy Cult Protectors are all equipped with elite weapons and armors, and they are also at the forefront of the development of long-range weapons.
.
Although they have not yet experienced war with foreign enemies, according to the deductions of the senior generals of the Dragon Team, the combat capabilities of several surrounding countries are on par with the Longyao Empire. Although they have fewer troops, they are superior in terms of military configuration and equipment.
During the purge of the religious order, hundreds of thousands of low-level monks from various counties were arrested and sent to the mines for mining. Zhang Cong did not kill all the monks of the religious order. After all, many of them were deceived.
Of course, ordinary people have little chance of integrating into normal society. Letting them work in the mining area and save their lives is already a mercy.
However, the fairy spiritual energy in Tianmu Lake did not spread without limit. After covering the entire Longyao Empire, it expanded again for a while and then stopped. However, on the entire evil and resentful planet, it was like a sudden drop of water.
A drop of holy water washes away a piece of filth, allowing people to see the world as it is. It turns out to be so beautiful and fresh.
The large area purified by the fairy spirit includes the entire Longyao Empire, a piece of the Red Cotton Dynasty, a piece of the Wanxiang Ancient Kingdom, and a large area of the ocean connecting Wanghai County.
However, the ancient country of Xianyu, where the cult is deeply rooted, has not been affected. Only the side of the Ram Mountains that borders the Longyao Empire has been purified. Starting from the other side of Xianyu, there is still an evil and dark resentment.
world.
After the fairy spirit was restored, the most obvious changes were in the plants and climate. Now the temperature in the Longyao Empire has increased significantly, and the sunshine has become abundant, and the rainfall has become regular. Not only do the trees in the mountains grow extremely fast, but also the food and vegetables.
It became two seasons a year, which made Hong Yan, who was originally worried about food, now worried about the backlog of food.
There have also been new discoveries in minerals, and many types of minerals that have not been seen before have been discovered. The return of source power has made everything better, except for the fact that the empire is still under threat from the religious sect.
All the surrounding countries are members of the sect, and even the sects of Xianyu and Wanxiang are more powerful than the original Cheyue.
The area is huge, and the population is ten times that of Cheyue. Xianyu's religious order is the actual manager of the religious order on this continent.
Originally Che Yue Fen Duo wanted to escape to Xianyu, but because Zhang Cong was too fast, he was surrounded and annihilated. At present, all the religious sect countries bordering Long Yao have kept a distance from Long Yao. If they don't mess with you, they will ignore it.
You, apart from some commercial exchanges among the people, there is no intersection between countries. This is also what Zhang Cong is thinking about every day.
Isn't it okay if there is no intersection? Either they are good friends or they are enemies. This has the opportunity for the Holy Cult to infiltrate. Although Zhang Cong is ruthless, he cannot declare war on a country without any reason. This is a bit outrageous, and it can easily attract
More enemies.
Among these countries, Xianyu is the one he wants to defeat most, and it is also the most difficult to defeat, because the bordering Lamu Mountains are difficult for teams to cross. If he wants to defeat Xianyu, he can only defeat the ancient country of Wanxiang first, so Zhang Cong has been
Find a reason to start a war.
The area of Wanxiang Ancient Kingdom is similar to that of Longyao, and it is poorer than the original Cheyue Kingdom. However, one thing worth noting is that Wanxiang Ancient Kingdom not only has religious groups, but also the Gu tribe, which is famous for their poisons. They are even more terrifying than the religious groups.
Vientiane is a four-mountainous country. Almost 160% of the country is mountainous. There are also many ethnic groups, most of which are large tribes. It can be said that the entire country has not achieved true centralization until today. Among them
The main reason is because of the existence of the Gu clan.
The Gu tribe did not believe in the cult at all. They had their own totem and believed in the Gu god. For this reason, the cult and the Gu tribe had many conflicts. However, in the dense jungle, the Gu tribe had a greater advantage, so later the cult
It also acquiesces to the existence of the Gu clan and no longer forces the Gu clan to believe in the religious order.
Zhang Cong has been trying to figure out how to provoke a war in Vientiane these days. As a foreign force, if he wants to intervene in the civil strife in Vientiane, he can only provoke ethnic conflicts. The ones who can do it are the Gu tribe, but the number of the Gu tribe is not large.
They have the upper hand, and they rarely leave the mountains where they live. It is simply impossible for the Gu tribe to launch an all-out war against the religious order and the Wanxiang Kingdom.
But there is good news, that is, part of the Vientiane Kingdom has been purified by spiritual energy, and the religious groups there have retreated. A full third of the country has become the focus of mediation by all parties, because the food and products there
The quantity has doubled, which is equivalent to a pearl in the ancient country of Wanxiang.
The two semi-producing provinces, including Fuda Province and Layun Province, are the direct beneficiaries of the spiritual tide this time. Although the religious group was driven by the spiritual energy and was forced to retreat, the Vientiane Kingdom is still the powerful religious group.
It even influenced the king's will, so the royal court's taxes on the two provinces increased sharply. The two provinces did not become rich due to high output, but instead became poorer.
The leaders of Fuda and Layun were already very angry with King Wanxiang and the Order, but they had no soldiers and could not resist, otherwise they would probably break away from independence.
News from Vientiane is constantly reaching Zhang Cong, and the four of them are constantly analyzing it. At the same time, Lincang County, which borders Vientiane, is asked to increase private trade with Fuda and Layun provinces, first to establish feelings, and then
We will continue to provide help and strive to support the independence of the two provinces as soon as possible.
Qin Fu has been studying the volcanoes at the bottom of Tianmu Lake in the past few days. Her theory is that on such a large planet, the spiritual tide that can be restored after destroying a node cannot be only this small. It should be able to lead to some. In that case, it will be like Vientiane Red.
Large countries like Mian and even Xianyu are likely to be purified by the spiritual tide. This is equivalent to forcing the religious group to retreat and winning a local war in disguise.
And with the resurgence of spiritual energy, some of Blue Star's cultivation thinking can also be put to use, even outside the Holy Cult, it can also allow the Chaos Immortal Way to take root and settle down. Although I don't know if this can accumulate willing power, it can also help Chaos.
Star Territory's Immortal Way has become famous. This may not be a good way to repay the master and ancestors.
Nowadays, Tianmu Taoist Temple has been built in a large area. Not only does it have a Western sect's cave, Zhang Cong also specially hung up the portraits of ancestors Sanqing and Hongjun, and began to officially teach the way of chaos. The effect is very obvious, and there are already
Many students are obsessed with this, and their cultivation speed is extremely fast.
The only slow progress is that Qin Fu still cannot enter the center of the earth to change the star source. Perhaps because of the Wuwang Immortal Formation, the center of the earth is blocked by a thick layer of resentment, making it difficult to pass through. It seems that she needs to be careful.
Research.
Qin Yu Xiaohua was in charge of teaching and preaching, and was very busy. Only Zhang Cong and Qin Fu worked as teachers in the Taoist Academy, cultivating the strength of the new generation, and at the same time studying the problem of Linghu Lake.
Zhang Cong followed Qin Fu down from the crater to the magma lake. As expected, even if Zhang Cong used the energy of the devil's heart, he could not pass through the resentment zone. It seemed that he could only let Qin Yu come over and try.
Non-governmental exchanges with the two provinces of Vientiane are extremely popular. From minerals and weapons to daily necessities, Longyao Empire is the best exporting country. The products are not only liked by Vientiane, but also welcomed by neighboring countries.
The leaders of the two provinces of Vientiane also quietly sent people over to contact the governor of Lincang County, intending to submit to the Longyao Empire. However, the governor of Lincang County did not dare to make the decision and reported the news to Zhang Cong.
Zhang Cong asked the county governor to tell the envoy that the time was not ripe for temporary surrender to the Longyao Empire. He could seek independence first. If the troops were insufficient, Lincang County could send troops to support him. At the same time, Lincang County's holy temples could be sent to preach in the two provinces.
Zhang Cong transferred Qin Yuxiaohua back to the capital and began to discuss matters in the two provinces of Wanxiang. These two provinces were already under the shroud of spiritual energy. In such an environment, the combat power of the monks of the religious order was similar to that of the samurai. There was nothing left.
There are advantages at all, but the only thing currently lacking is that the total strength of the two provinces of Fudalayun is less than 10,000. If the troops from the Vientiane Kingdom come to attack, they will definitely not be able to withstand it.
It's okay to say that Fuda Province is sandwiched between Layun Province and Lincang County, but Layun Province has to directly face the bordering Banjia Province. If the Vientiane team comes to attack, Layun Province will directly face it.
Zhang Cong’s first step was to send a missionary mission to Layun Province to preach and build a temple. If the mission or the Vientiane court came to demolish the temple, it would be an excuse for the guardian team to go out. At this time, let the two provinces
Autonomy is tantamount to forcing everything to a dead end.
The only thing that needs to be vigilant now is that the countries where several religious groups are prevalent around Xianyu and Vientiane are likely to be bewitched by the religious groups to form a coalition to fight the dragon team in Vientiane. In that case, the war will expand, and many
Things will happen before they happen.
Zhang Cong didn't think he couldn't defeat the alliance, but now through the Che Yue Kingdom incident, Zhang Cong discovered that the population on this planet is not very large, and it is incomparable with Blue Star. Perhaps it is due to the long-term contamination of evil spirits, which has led to
Human reproduction is very difficult, and coupled with the scourge of the cult, the population has never been large. If we continue to rely on killing to rule this planet, the population loss will be too great.
Zhang Cong didn't want a deserted planet. In that case, he would just let Qin Yu spread the poisonous bacteria all over the world, and soon there would be nothing left. But that would lose the meaning of suppressing evil with good, and the effect would be poor.
