Chapter 660 Teahouse Debate
As for the Yangtze River, in this water system that connects the north and south of Middle-earth, the situation is reversed from the Min River to the east of Dashang. The big merchants there are prosperous, while the big merchants are completely blank.
As a large river, the Yangtze River has a turbulent flow and a wide river area, and if there are not enough boats, it is almost impossible for the Great Qin Army to cross the river.
The best way to resist is to temporarily abandon the southern part of the border near the five counties of Great Qin, concentrate millions of troops and horses, and hold the Baisheng Pass, so as to protect the rest of the territory of the Great Shang.
"But the problem is ......" An Mingxi pondered: "That Ji Chang is only the commander of the five counties, and the army in charge of the Great Shang is limited! Even if Ji Fa rescues Yin Yu and gets the edict of Emperor Yuanchen, he can control the war in the southeast." It also takes time to transfer troops. The south is a flat river, I attacked with a cavalry army, and Ji Chang couldn't do anything at all. ”
"Just cut first and then play!"
Seeing Qin Lie and An Mingxi, they all looked sideways, and said with a smile: "With Yin Yu's situation, I don't have the heart to care about these, but I have to rely on it." And this matter can be said to be very beneficial to the Ji family, do you say that Ji Chang doesn't dare?"
An Mingxi was secretly shocked in her heart, and then she realized that her way of life and way of thinking were completely different from those of those families. At that time, he was a general in business, loyal, and would never dare to disobey His Majesty's order, which was regarded as a holy decree.
But the big families in the Great Shang Dynasty are different, and in their respective fiefdoms, they can even ignore the laws of the country.
This kind of thing, others dare not do this. As the head of the Ji family, Ji Chang, who has a different heart in his heart, has no pressure, and he will not be afraid of the suspicion of Yin Yu.
If that's the case, then it's a real problem.
"This is not necessarily a good thing, my Great Qin army is still strong, and the Middle-earth Continent has a vast territory, endless mountains and rivers, and swallows elephants with snakes. Even if I can swallow it, I, Daqin, will need to face more trouble. It is better to lay a solid foundation after this battle and then make a plan! The five counties in the south of the Yangtze River are the land of fish and rice, the grain output exceeds the rest of the land by several times, the population is dense, and the spiritual stone veins are only inferior to Huizhou. ”
"Just because the officials are pedantic, they are detained by all kinds of families and fill their pockets. Although the martial arts are weaker, if my Great Qin can be governed well, it can be the foundation for my Great Qin to unify the Eastern Wilderness!"
It seemed that he was worried that Qin Lie and An Mingxi were still unwilling, and Zhang Huai persuaded endlessly.
Qin Lie knew that he couldn't be reluctant, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "Our army has won, and it is indeed too risky to rush out on the expedition. After this battle, Lu Tianxing was ordered to lead 800,000 elites to the mainland of South Vietnam. The rest of the soldiers and horses are commanded by Concubine An, assisted by Zhang Huaiyou. After defeating the merchant army north of the Min River, he was responsible for attacking the Middle-earth Continent! ”
An Mingxi and Zhang Huai all leaned over to answer the order, and in the north of the Min River, although there were still tens of millions of heavy soldiers of the big merchants, they were not in the eyes of the two.
Without the support of Taoist soldiers, they only need to cut off their back roads with iron horses and cut off their food and grass.
In 10 days at most, this 16 million army will have only one way to collapse.
Qin Lie gave them the right to make a decision on the spot, but it was for the Ji family.
If the Baisheng Pass is really blocked by the Ji family, it can stop with the southern continents of Dashang. But if it hadn't, then Da Qin didn't need to be polite.
As for the South Yue Continent, the four million martial cultivators recruited by Yi Yuan are being trained.
As long as the mainland of South Vietnam can stabilize and suppress the rebellious cities. Then it will be three months at most, and it will be stable.
"The Blood Cloud Cavalry has been expanded by 50,000, and we will try to recruit Nirvana powerhouses as much as possible, and train 30,000 Xuanhu Iron Cavalry in the Eastern Wilderness Realm. In addition, you can choose the elite from all the armies!"
In Qin Lie's eyes, a sharp light appeared: "Also, send out the Demon Destroying Edict! Order the world's martial artists to hunt down and kill the disciples of the Demon Sect." The higher the cultivation, the higher the reward, and the Great Qin Library can also be opened, as long as the demon is punished, he can choose a copy. This time, I'm going to wipe out all the demons!"
It is mainly martial arts, and this time Qin Lie is outside, and he has really collected a lot of martial arts.
The main thing is the Jiudu Immortal Dynasty, and there is a small half of the inheritance, which fell into his hands. and when he was in the Immortal Death Realm, the nearly fifty holy cultivators also had their own inheritances, and many of them had top-notch supernatural powers.
For those scattered cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness Realm whose resources are scarce, it is very precious.
An Mingxi and Zhang Huai were not surprised. At the beginning, Daomen also had a similar move.
It has long been seen that the anger in Qin Lie's chest is deep. It is extremely difficult to endure until this moment.
And at this point, there is no need to endure it any longer.
In addition to the powerhouses of the Supreme Saint Realm who can also contain one or two, the Demon Gate has no power to confront Great Qin. In that Heavenly Demon Dome Realm, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and the others were like slaughtering lambs, allowing others to take the knife.
But in this way, the troops must be divided again.
However, firstly, the surname may be very small, and secondly, it is also known that Qin Lie's mind at this time has been decided, and he can no longer be dissuaded. So they were all silent, and did not speak. only had some objections to Qin Lie's reward.
"Your Majesty, I don't have many spirit stones in Daqin, and I need to raise an army. It is better to focus on open martial arts, and the conditions of the monarch are also lower. Those who kill hundreds of Demon Dao disciples can choose ground-level martial arts. The heavenly level requires at least 1,000 people, and the immortal level requires a spiritual realm. ”
"The Demon Gate Technique is special, and it can be detected in the corpse, so I am not afraid of people cheating!"
Qin Lie was noncommittal, but he already acquiesced.
At this time, outside the sky domain, they all settled down one after another. The power of the three sects of the Dao Demon Confucianism, the Great Demon Lock Array, has already been withdrawn knowing the opportunity.
And those few supreme divine thoughts no longer permeate the void.
The clouds spread over the battlefield, and rays of sunlight shone brightly. Those private Dao soldiers of the family had been completely defeated by the Blood Cloud Cavalry led by Qin Feng. By this time, there was no resistance and had to surrender.
Qin Lie's eyes were cold, looking at the void. Although those people are gone, those thoughts are still firmly locked on him and lingering.
A trace of malice rushed in.
Qin Lie sneered, and was not afraid. If these people don't take action in person, just this mere divine thought can't crush him!
When Qin Lie looked at the sky, the soldiers on the battlefield below were looking at him.
Xiao Ri also put away the form of a unicorn, with a lazy expression, lying on Qin Lie's shoulder.
But at this time, under the sun's rays, the colorful spiritual light around the white jade imperial chariot lingered, and it still looked sacred.
"Holy Emperor!"
One person knelt down, and hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield also knelt down one after another.
"Long live the Holy Emperor!"
"My Great Qin is invincible!"
The sound of the mountains roaring like a tsunami, and the tide swept in. That Zhang Huai smiled and bowed heavily: "If the name is not right, the word is not good." Your Majesty, please be the emperor!"
Lingxiao City, all the teahouses and restaurants are almost full of guests at this time.
It's not that when Qin Shang was fighting, these people still had the heart to drink and drink, but they spontaneously gathered here. In this well-informed place, rumors and messages from Middle-earth await.
Since a month ago, Lingxiao City has been in a state of panic.
Although he had enough confidence in Qin Lie, the eighteen million army of the Great Shang had a real oppressive force.
In the past, ordinary people did not know about the existence of the six major sects and sects.
But now in Daqin, there are many martial arts halls. The monarch acted strangely, not only did he not ban the sects, but encouraged the sects to open martial arts halls among the people and recruit disciples.
Therefore, in Great Qin, even ordinary civilians can know the prestige of the Six Sects.
Needless to say, Confucianism is in charge of the cultivation of the world, with 3,000 gates. Regardless of the people, the first major religion in the Eastern Wilderness Realm is well-deserved.
And the Demon Dao is not much inferior, and there are also countless vassal sects.
The joining forces of the three religions cannot but make people's hearts heavy. Every day when there is nothing to do, the people in Lingxiao City will gather together in the teahouse and restaurant to discuss the things in the east.
Among them, Tingfeng Lou is a teahouse located in the south of Lingxiao City, which is famous for its elegance and style. On the opposite side of it is the Tianxing Academy, a branch of Lingxiao City.
At this time, Lingxiao City was already a prosperous city comparable to the capital of the Great Shang Emperor, and Daqin was supporting the Martial Arts Academy everywhere to promote education and open up the wisdom of the people.
This is said to be a branch of Tianxing Academy, but the head of the academy has long intended to relocate the academy here. But at this time, the door was closed and closed.
Even so, in this listening building, there are still Confucians. In addition, there are also quite a few wealthy businesses in the vicinity.
On the contrary, it is more lively than usual.
"It's been a month, and the big merchants haven't broken through the Min River yet?"
With three million people and six times the enemy's army, there is no gap for the big businessmen!"
"It's nothing more than the help of the Minhe River and the shipmaster, I don't think she will last long!"
"Demon woman, traitor!"
Daqin does not scold people with his words, and his words are unscrupulous. Therefore, as long as it is not deliberately insulting, there is no sin.
However, when the Confucian scholar said this, the people around him just changed their faces slightly, and they were as if nothing happened.
Daqin is now in turmoil, maybe he will collapse when he wakes up tomorrow.
Who would dare to tell the government at this time, and who would dare to punish them?
If you go to prison, it is not a bad thing, but you can gain prestige in Confucianism and become a celebrity.
"Traitors can't talk about it, but they are also acting for the tiger, and I don't know what is right and wrong!"
"I heard that a few months ago, Qin Lie had requisitioned hundreds of thousands of laborers to build a Jiuchi Palace. and plundered hundreds of beautiful women. The soldiers in front fought hard, but he sang every night. ”
"Sure enough, it's a faint king! Before the expedition, isn't it the same?"
"He's so blessed, but I don't know how long he can enjoy it?"
"In the end, it's a demon clan! It's not as good as Wang Shi, this Great Qin will definitely die!"
In the restaurant, it is not all people who have been with these Confucian scholars all the way, most of them are silent at this time, but some people are full of righteous indignation.
After the king ascended the throne, he was never defeated. The country is clear and clear, and the country is rich and the people are strong. ”
"Hey, undefeated before, but not necessarily undefeated in the future, just because you haven't met an opponent. ”
"What do these people know about the election of the parents and officials of a place by the ignorant grass people? Who can be an official?"
"So what? If those wealthy businessmen want to be officials, they need to give me enough benefits first. ”
"Ignorance! How can such people as officials seek the well-being of all the people? I, a Confucian disciple, have been educated by the sages, and everyone thinks of ruling the world and restoring the three ancient emperors. In that Qin Lie's eyes, he was a useless person who should be killed! Even if he used it, he still had to be supervised by that council hall, what kind of words?"
"Then do you want the imperial examination? I haven't seen Daqin, how good is it!"
"This is a system that has been inherited for 10,000 years! Create a grand event for several generations, how can you, a barbarian people, know the benefits?"
"You wait for slander and scolding, wait for my Great Qin to return victorious, see what the king will do to you!"
"Haha, I'm afraid he won't have this chance. ”
"Kill yourself to become benevolent, sacrifice yourself for righteousness, why am I afraid of death?"
But there are also people who gather around and talk in a whisper, and do not participate in the dispute. Everyone was sad on their faces.
"Big businessmen and heavy agriculture, Shinong industry and commerce. If they win, they don't know how to deal with these people. Will it be exploited by those powerful ministers?"
"Today's Great Qin, although it is a bit absurd. There's really no need to worry about being blackmailed by those powerful people. If you change to a big businessman, it may not be necessarily. ”
"You don't have to be lucky, I moved here from the Central Plains. Today's big businessmen are like tigers, and officials are like wolves. In their eyes, we are like lambs slaughtered for men. ”
"It's a pity that the king is not subject to donations, and he does not say that taxes will be raised. If I fight for this, even if I donate half of my family property, I am willing!"
At this time, there is only one place in the listening wind building, which is still silent. The three people sitting here were all silent, listening quietly.
Two of them are in their thirties. The person sitting next to him was a man in a gorgeous robe, but his demeanor was extremely old and his expression was solemn.
"Brother Yangming, what do you think? In this battle of Qin Shang, who will win or lose in the end. ”
The one who said this was facing north from the south, with dark skin but an extraordinary appearance. At this time, there is a bit of a sense of asking for advice.
"Liu Wen, what is the use of your words asking me?
The man who was called Yang Ming shook his head and smiled, but his expression immediately became serious again.
"The current situation of the big business, Liu Wen, you don't know it? The grain depot in the world is actually ten rooms and nine emptiness. An army of 18 million sounds majestic. However, the grain and grass accumulated by the merchants over the years can only be supplied for a short period of time at most. And looking at this Great Qin again, I have seen some people worry about the war situation, and some people wantonly scold, but have anyone ever worried about food and clothing?"
That Liu Wen is also an extremely smart person, and he immediately understood his meaning: "In this way, Brother Yang Ming is actually not optimistic about the big business?
"I look at the use of soldiers in peace, and I am very disciplined, and I deserve to be a famous handsome in the world. Not to mention January, if you give Dashang another half a year, you may not be able to break through the Min River. ”
Na Yang Ming held the wine glass in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty didn't know before the war, and you should also be aware of the predicament at this time, and you will definitely seek to break the situation." Looking at the Great Qin monarch again, it seems that he has no intention of delaying it any longer. Therefore, there are still variables in this battle. It is expected that the victory or defeat will be within ten days. However, I am still optimistic about that Great Qin monarch. Your Majesty, I'm afraid he's not an opponent. ”
Liu Wen suddenly hissed and gasped. Knowing the person in front of him, he is not only the literary talent that tops the Eastern Wilderness Realm. The martial arts of war are also the top in the world.
Although self-deprecation is on paper, in the eyes of 'Liu Wen', his friend is by no means the kind of person who can only talk about it.
If you can command a million soldiers and fight on the battlefield, maybe you will be a character like Tranquility.
That one-handed bow technique, even the powerhouse of the Shattered Realm, within a hundred miles, can also be killed!
The Great Shang faced the enemy with six times the army, and this one actually expected that the Great Shang would be defeated.
This battle is related to the struggle for hegemony in the Eastern Wilderness.
If it is really as expected, I am afraid that this world is about to change greatly.
