Outside the window, there are white waves and heavy rain.
Qi Xuansu was sitting in the guest room, watching the ocean tide through the glass window.
A white tide came and went, rolling up thousands of layers of snow.
This is the Guanhai Tower located on the coast of the East China Sea. There is a view of Sendai in the sea. The two are far away from each other across the sea. Generally speaking, if you want to go to Sendai, you must first pass by Guanhai Tower.
It is raining today and the sea is rough. Even ordinary heavenly beings would be frightened by such power. After all, it is created by the power of heaven and cannot be resisted by human beings.
Guanhai Building, as the name suggests, you can view the sea from the top of this building. Although it is called a building, there are actually many independent courtyards around the main building, and the overall area is quite large. ??
To be fair, Qi Xuansu didn't like this place very much, because he always felt that the smell of powder here was too strong. No matter how elegant the decoration and artistic conception were, he couldn't cover up the pungent smell of powder.
The so-called "taste", of course, does not mean the smell that is smelled by the nose or tasted by the tongue, but a mysterious feeling, like a barracks of an army that has fought hundreds of battles. No matter how it is cleaned or even changed, it will be erased.
I can't get rid of the bloody smell of killing that seems to be soaked into my bones.
As for Wangxiantai, it is famous.
This high platform is built on a hundred-foot reef in an isolated sea. It is not so much a reef as it is an isolated peak in the sea. The whole body is like a pillar, and the top of the peak is only ten feet in diameter. An immortal once flattened it with a sword and turned it into a
On a flat land, someone laid floor tiles and built railings on it to turn it into a lookout. However, the solitary peak is steep and steep, with vertical sides. There is no way up the mountain. If you want to go up, you have to rely on your own ability. If you can get up here,
They don't care about climbing up to enjoy the view, so this place often becomes a place for more skilled sword fights.
Xuansheng and Donghuang once had a sword fight here.
Qi Xuansu naturally prefers Wangxiantai. In the words of Donghuang, it does not touch the sky or the ground, and there is no cover. When you look up, you can see the sky. There is only a foot of ground under your feet. If you are not careful, you will fall into the vast blue waves. Wind and rain are coming.
It can be scorched by the scorching sun, covered by winter snow, and startled by spring thunder. It is heroic and majestic.
Qi Xuansu really wanted to visit Wangxiantai, but due to two hundred years of wind and wave erosion, Wangxiantai became shaky. Taiping Road was re-reinforced to protect the place and visitors were not allowed to visit. Qi Xuansu could only regret it.
On the coast, there are many ironclad ships of the Donghai Navy docked.
Some people may ask, since there are flying boats, why do we need to develop iron-clad ships? In fact, the reason is very simple. Life is not enough, and we often worry about a thousand years. Of course there are flying boats now, but "
What happens after the "End of Dharma" comes? If we don't prepare early and vigorously develop technology in this area, but immerse ourselves in the glory of the moment and wait until the event comes to prepare, it will be too late.
Of course, Qi Xuansu will not take the armored ship to Fenglinzhou. It would be too slow. The flying boat he wants to take will not arrive until around midnight tonight.
Qizhou has fully entered a state of war readiness. Along the way Qi Xuansu traveled, ships were busy at every dock. Even at night, the lights were brightly lit all night long.
Tens of millions of supplies were transported to Qizhou from all directions. Such great power cannot be achieved by any immortal. It is the power of millions of people and the power of Taoism.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. This is only the food and grass part. In addition to the leading team that has already gone to Fenglinzhou, the army is still behind.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are not traveling together. Zhang Yuelu is still in Yujing at this time, and she will act together with the army. This is the main responsibility of Tiangang Hall. As for exterminating the evil cult, it is actually a secondary responsibility.
Qi Xuansu's duty this time is neither to lead the army in battles and charge into battle, nor to counsel military affairs and strategize in the central committee. He has two main responsibilities. These two responsibilities cannot be said to be closely related, but can only be said to be completely unrelated. The first one
His duty is to work with other colleagues to resolve the internal strife of the Yusan family; his second duty is to supervise, not to supervise the army, but to supervise the allocation, transfer, storage and other matters of grain, grass, ammunition and various materials.
Later, Qi Xuansu also thought about it. The first duty was a short-term task. If even the three Yu families could not settle the matter, then there was no need to fight this war. Wouldn't it be better to just surrender and admit defeat? Since it was the Taoist sect who came forward, naturally
The integration of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be completed soon. The second responsibility is the long-term task. From the beginning to the end of the war, various materials will be continuously supplied, and the monitoring task will never stop.
Logistical issues and ideological issues are the two key issues.
Whenever we start a war, we must solve one problem: why we fight, that is, we have a reputation for fighting.
The Daomen and the imperial court have made it very clear that the revenge of ten generations can still be avenged. At that time, the imperial court of the Great Wei Dynasty listed Fenglinzhou as a country not to be conquered. However, the Japanese pirates in Fenglinzhou did not do anything. They harassed the capitals of the coastal states of the Central Plains and killed and injured the people.
There were hundreds of thousands of people, and hundreds of thousands of people were kidnapped. There were also millions of people who had to leave their homes, and countless money was lost.
So after Daxuan established the country, he repeatedly sent troops to Fenglinzhou for revenge, and finally forced Fenglinzhou to surrender and become a de facto vassal. But because of some concerns, he did not dethrone the title of Emperor Fenglinzhou, but established Fenglinzhou.
Taoist government is also a clear proof.
This time, the local lord of Fenglinzhou raised the banner of "respecting the king and fighting against the Tao", so that the Taoist sect decided to depose the title of Emperor Fenglinzhou and reduce it to the first level of the king. However, the Taoist sect did not enter directly. In the absence of the regent Guan Bai,
, the Minister of Taizheng issued an invitation on behalf of the Fenglinzhou court, and the Daomen and Daxuan courts were invited to quell the rebellion.
Prior to this, all coastal Taoist prefectures held massive public sacrifices on the Shangyuan Festival to pray for the common people, officers and soldiers, and all the souls who died at the hands of Japanese pirates. The Taoist governors of the Taoist prefectures and the governors of the local government personally visited
Go to burn incense and pay homage, reiterate the evil deeds of the major feudal lords in Fenglinzhou, remember the history, and never forget the national humiliation.
So morally speaking, there is no problem.
In a practical sense, Fenglinzhou is not Borneo, which is relatively gentle. It is an unfed hungry wolf, violent and ferocious, admiring the strong and bullying the weak. When the Central Plains is strong, it will whine and flatter, but
Once the Zhongyuan becomes weak, it will immediately bite back. Therefore, a dog chain must be tied around its neck to prevent it from getting a chance to bite back.
It is better for the war to take place in Fenglinzhou than in the Central Plains.
In fact, Qi Xuansu has always suspected that the Taoist sect has been preparing for such a war for a long time. According to the scene predicted by the heavenly master in the future: the emperor's crown fell to the ground, the king's dream was shattered. One after another, the mountains and rivers were stained with blood. The sky collapsed and the earth was torn apart, and the world was new. It can be seen in the "End of Dharma"
"After it really comes, there will be a big change in the Central Plains, which is the post-Daoist era that Donghua Zhenren is worried about. It is conceivable that at this time, Feng Linzhou will definitely do something, and even use delusions to enter the country.
Lord Central Plains, instead of doing this, it is better to break its dog legs in advance.
Even thinking more deeply, this may be the foreshadowing that Xuansheng laid for the Daxuan court.
Over the years, Taoism has been advocating the concept of equality. It is not only a guideline to replace Confucianism, but it can also be understood as a kind of peace between princes and generals. It is really not convincing now, because nowadays princes, generals and prime ministers can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, call the wind and rain, and destroy mountains and rocks.
, is really superior to others. But after the advent of the "End Dharma", there will no longer be the magical power of immortality, that is, the princes have no seeds. The Taoist sect has promoted the concept of equality for so many years, and has already completed the ideological transformation, coupled with hundreds of years of contradictions
Accumulation, when the time comes, it will inevitably explode with huge energy, just like volcanoes erupting, blowing up crowns.
, the Taoist crown fell to the ground, shocking the dreams of the old men and Taoist men to pieces.
Maybe this is what the Heavenly Master said: One after another, the mountains and rivers are stained with blood. The sky collapses and the earth shatters, and the world becomes new.
Qi Xuansu suddenly understood why so many people admired Xuan Sheng. After all, he was not limited to the world of one family, but looked at the world of people. As early as two hundred years ago, he was determined to sweep the emperor into the past, even if he sacrificed his life.
Taoist sect doesn't matter. In other words, in Xuan Sheng's view, both Taoist sect and Confucian sect should return to their original positions and hand over the world to the people of the world.
However, Qi Xuansu is not in such a state yet. He still has to pay more attention to himself, such as the problems of the Yusan family.
On Qi Xuansu's desk are many confidential messages that just came from Fenglinzhou.
It turns out that the Gosan family is not just a simple internal strife, but has already gone through a conflict. One heir was assassinated, and another heir was seriously injured. The strength of the Toyotomi family was greatly damaged, which allowed many local feudal lords to see it.
There was an opportunity to take advantage of, so this time "Respecting the King and Fighting the Way" came about.
There are countless such things in the history of the Central Plains, such as the famous Eight Kings Rebellion.
Jinque believed that the Fenglinzhou Taoist Office was guilty of dereliction of duty and did not mediate or report in time. However, Jinque did not punish the Fenglinzhou Taoist Office. From the headmaster to the deputy heads, no one was touched.
Just let him take the blame and perform meritorious service. Probably the Taoist sect had wanted to attack Fenglinzhou for a long time, but it was because the master had no name. This time, "respecting the king and fighting the Tao" gave the Taoist sect an excellent reason.
Qi Xuansu put down these materials about Yu Sanjia and picked up another brief report on Fenglinzhou's supplies. Although it was brief, it still listed various figures, densely packed. If Qi Xuansu really wanted to deal with it, he would have to use "innate divine calculation".
.
Qi Xuansu finally leaned back in his chair, sighed, and decided to ignore these numbers and focus on the affairs of the Yusan family. Selecting a new regent Guan Bai as soon as possible is the top priority. As for the rest, it is all trivial matters.
After Qi Xuansu memorized the contents of this material, he stood up and went to the window, looking out at the sea outside.
There are still white waves outside.
Today's Fenglinzhou is like the sea.
Qi Xuansu recited in a low voice: "Studying books and learning how much swords can do. Fighting is like riding on the sand and riding in luxury. Holding a green spear in hand is like iron. The bright moon. Longquan cuts three feet with new grinding. I can envy the army of the past and praise Confucianism.
Scholars are virtuous and prosperous. Suddenly I heard smoke rising from the four frontiers. I asked the Confucian scholars who dared to calm down the storm."
