Chapter 558

Jiayuguan is the first Xiongguan in the Central Plains, located in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu Province, and the traffic point of the Silk Road.

The Broken Army sat here, and after the Qilin Army took over this place, they built many turrets along the way outside the city. The turrets with interlaced canines are fully equipped with 700 tiger cannons, which are more stable than the defense of the city wall.

Breaking through sixty-five fortified turrets and reaching beneath the walls is something that no army can do today. Therefore, the broken army felt quite bored, there was a desert outside, when did someone come, someone broke through the sixty-five turrets to kill him.

The mercenaries have returned to the Ryukyu Mercenary Company to continue their mercenary careers. Most of the guards guarding the nine-sided fortress are young soldiers, and there are few soldiers in the west, and the broken army has not yet established absolute authority when he takes office.

"The loss of my Qilian Mountain will make my six animals restless. I have lost my mountains, and my women have no color. Po Jun looked at the endless desert, and suddenly sighed: "I don't know when the emperor will march to the north, and when the time comes, I must kill the Mongols and bleed them into a river, so that they will never dare to go south again." ”

"If the Mongols don't dare to go south again, I'm afraid the emperor will be very distressed." Guo Song was a guerrilla general in Jiayuguan, and among the twenty-two children that Ji Yang first cultivated, his martial arts qualifications were weak.

However, after more than 20 years of cultivation, Guo Song has also reached the ninefold realm, and with his water system ability, his strength can be said to be the ninefold peak. Guo Song's twenty-two people have always been very united, although he is at the bottom, he is still taken care of by Xiang Yang and others, so he knows a lot of things.

Ji Yang named him a guerrilla general in Jiayuguan, and before Guo Song took office, he talked to Wu Kun about this matter. Everyone knows that Wu Kun is Ji Yang's think tank, not only proficient in various technologies, but also first-class in military and political affairs.

Wu Kun mentioned a few words to Guo Song, so Guo Song probably knew Ji Yang's strategy against the Mongols.

"How?" The army is incomprehensible.

"The emperor didn't want to slaughter the Mongols, but to defeat them and do business with them. The Mongols have herds of cattle and sheep, which is exactly what we lack, and if the whole steppe gives us cattle and sheep, what a big business. Guo Song said.

"Doing business... I see, just like in the old days in the Nanyang countries. "The mercenaries under the command before the break were specialized in business, and the mercenaries were making money for their labor while looting in small countries in the South Seas, and they would recover a lot of gold and silver treasures every time they fought. With the existence of mercenaries, Ji ** didn't have to worry about the military expenses of the Qilin Army, and he could even make a lot of money.

"Wu Kun told me that this is called economic aggression, and after defeating the Mongols, they should be restricted from raising horses and raising more cattle and sheep. We exchanged food tools for their cattle and sheep, so that in a few decades, the Mongols will no longer be a people, and they will never be able to do without us again. Guo Song said.

"Good idea, just ask the Mongols to raise cattle and sheep for us." Po Jun clapped his hands, and then showed a cold light: "But before that, we still have to beat the Mongols to a painful time." ”

"Don't worry, the Mongol cavalry is fast, if we rush out of the fortress, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with them. The Star Chamber of Commerce is introducing Western war horses, their war horses are taller and stronger than Dawan horses, and after they are cultivated, we will no longer be afraid of the Mongols. In fact, our worst enemy is not the Mongols, but the ice and snow of the Far North. Guo Song said.

"What's the matter with this Far North?" Pojun asked.

"I don't know very well, that's what Wu Kun said." Guo Song replied.

Of course, Ji Yang would not let the border army stay in the city every day like the previous emperors. He demanded that the border troops should not interrupt their training, and in addition to training for five hours a day, they should also take turns to send people to inspect the outside of the fortress.

This kind of patrol is fully armed, with the nature of training, running for days and thousands of miles, so that those newly recruited warriors quickly adapt to the northern climate and get full aerobic training. The militarized training method, combined with the traditional martial arts practice of the Central Plains, has made the growth rate of the new generation of students in the Academy of Stars astonishing.

With only the traditional way of cultivation, it takes more than ten years to cultivate a martial artist in the fivefold realm, more than twenty years in the sevenfold realm, and even more in the ninefold realm. And it only takes six or seven years to cultivate a martial artist in the fivefold realm with the combination of military and martial arts, only ten years in the sevenfold realm, and the ninefold realm can already rush up with high-intensity training and cultivation.

Therefore, in recent years, there have been more and more young masters in the Star Academy, and the fivefold realm is only the basic requirement, the sevenfold realm belongs to the elite, and the ninefold realm belongs to the general-level figures.

"In another ten years, I will raise the minimum requirements of the military to the sixfold realm, and the people must also have a large number of martial artists above the sixfold level to become our mobilization potential." Ji Yang said.

"Every time the military benchmark is raised to a level, it is a leap forward, and the strength of the whole country can be completed. Nowadays, although there are many martial artists in the Central Plains, most of them have low martial arts and are useless. Jing Xiu said.

"That's why I want to restructure all the sects into academies, and I plan to transfer some teachers from the Xingzhu Academy to guide the various sects. If all the sects follow the model of the Star Academy, then the children of the Central Plains will be able to study and practice martial arts, and this country will be truly strong. Ji Yang said.

"Such a grand wish can only be fulfilled by the Holy One." Jing Xiulian said unhappily: "Those nameless sour people, Zhu Ding is dead, and he still doesn't stop, and he dares to join forces with various sects to resist the reform of the imperial court." In my opinion, this martial arts myth is just a-stirring stick, just kill it. ”

"Nameless is afraid that the people of the Central Plains will learn martial arts, in fact, I am also worried that when the day comes, what will the Central Plains be like. The Ninefold Realm is everywhere, can the imperial court still be able to restrain these people. Ji Yang said with emotion.

Daxing industry and commerce, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry has become a monster, swallowing the world. And the great promotion of martial arts, so that the farmers and businessmen can learn martial arts, this is not a monster, but the gluttony of ancient fierce beasts.

Once this ancient beast is released, Ji Yang doesn't know what the consequences will be, and it's no wonder that Nameless wants to stop it with all his might. However, Ji Yang believes that the practice of martial arts by the whole people is an inevitable stage of the development of the world. If you don't do it, other countries will do it, in case any country in the West suddenly practices martial arts by the whole people, a national riot army of tens of millions of people, and the Central Plains will be wiped out.

Not to mention Western countries, there is a Dongying with tens of millions of people next to the Central Plains, and bushido is rampant. Nowadays, agriculture in the Central Plains is developed, and there will inevitably be a surplus of grain production in less than ten years, so it can only be dumped in nearby countries.

Dongying will benefit from grain dumping in the future, and the population will skyrocket, the world is three times the size of the earth, and it is not a problem for Dongying's population to skyrocket to two or three hundred million. If so many people practice martial arts for the whole people, but the Central Plains still engages in the inheritance of masters and apprentices, inhibiting the development of folk martial arts, the results can be imagined.

"When the emperor was in retreat before, we promoted steam engines in Shuchuan and Jizhou, and many people objected, saying that the black smoke miasma polluted the river. At that time, I also thought that thing was too dirty, and at that time, Chief Engineer Wu said to me, he said that if you don't do it, others will do it, do you have to wait until people use these technologies to become stronger, and then come to grab your resources, forcing you to do the same. I think this sentence is very reasonable, just like you popularize martial arts, if we don't do it, others will do it sooner or later. Jing Xiu has been with Ji Yang and the others for a long time, and her consciousness has become much higher.

"Yes, instead of waiting for others to become stronger and invade us with these methods, it is better for us to do it first. The reason why the Mongols are so powerful is that everyone practices martial arts, everyone rides horses, and any herdsman can become a warrior. Although their martial arts civilization is backward, there are many people who can't stand up to practicing martial arts, and there will always be some masters. Ji Yang said.

"Your Majesty, you can't fight with the general, so it's better for me to meet him in person for a while." Jing Xiu said.

"Don't worry for the time being, although Nameless resists the restructuring, he doesn't dare to do anything to the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. No matter how unhappy he is, I am already the emperor of the Central Plains, and he can't change that. Let Xiang Dongping avoid Nameless first, and reform those sects that have not been instigated by Nameless. We don't have to rely on those sects to popularize martial arts, and when I finish building the Nine-Sided Railway and the Southern Railway, I will start to vigorously build the Xingzhu Branch. In addition to the construction of the Star Academy, it is also necessary to support the folk martial arts masters and open the academy. Ji Yang said.

"I see." Jing Xiu said.

Ji Yang's meaning is very simple, that is, let Nameless toss, and when the Star Branch and the Folk Martial Arts Academy spread all over the Central Plains, Nameless alone will not be able to change anything at all. Nameless had the intention of going against Ji Yang, but Ji Yang ignored him and let him play by himself.

Playing and playing, Nameless will know how weak he is and how childish his behavior is.

At the same time, the Imperial Shadow has returned to Dongying and is meeting Kazuo Kazuo Kazuto.

"Your Excellency the Emperor, Ji Yang has become the Emperor of the Central Plains, and his requirements are very demanding." Huangying handed Ji Yang's notice to Kazuo Shenwu.

Kazuo Shenwu took it and looked at it, his fingers couldn't help trembling slightly, this is to kill Dongying. Unless Kazuo Shenwu gathers all the gold, silver and resources of the whole country, don't think about raising a billion taels of silver, and at that time Dongying will be equal to the national earthquake.

"Compensation of one billion taels of silver, but also the delivery of military and political power, this is the destruction of the country!" Kazuo Shenwu said angrily, there was an urge to fight to the death with the Central Plains, and there was an urge to commit suicide by seppuku.

"We only have two choices, one is to fight to the death with the Central Plains, and the other is to dissolve the shogunate." Imperial Shadow said.

There is nothing to say about the decisive death, and as for the dissolution of the shogunate, it is to avoid compensation and send Toei to the Central Plains. Although the dissolution of the shogunate was tantamount to the loss of national power, at least the people of Toei were saved.

The shogunate was dissolved, and the emperor committed suicide, so who else could Ji Yang find to compensate.

"We no longer have the ability to fight to the death with the Central Plains, according to the ninja investigation, that woman destroyed tens of thousands of sects and slaughtered millions of samurai in Dongying. Now that the samurai of Toei have withered, only some ordinary people remain, and they don't want to restore their former prosperity for fifty years. Kazuo Shenwu bit blood so hard that he couldn't resist.

"What, slaughter millions of samurai, that butcher!" Huangying was shocked, there were only more than a million warriors in the entire Dongying, and this time Dongying's backbone was completely broken.

For some small countries, Loulan is definitely a humanoid nuclear bomb.

Unless there is someone who surpasses or approaches Loulan by force, her lethality will be completely revealed, and one person can destroy the country.

"Fifty years, if Dongying can survive these fifty years safely, maybe there will be a chance to rise." Kazuo Jimmu said.

"So are you going to choose to dissolve the shogunate?" The imperial shadow showed a hint of sadness.

"The shogunate can be dissolved, but the spirit of the katana will never be dissolved." Kazuo Jimmu's eyes suddenly became firm, and he said to the Imperial Shadow, "I will commit suicide by cutting my stomach, dissolve the shogunate, and the future of Toei will be handed over to you." ”

"Hayi!" Huangying lowered his head, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

The king of a country was forced to such an extent, and the emperor was deeply humiliated and deplored.

After a long while, the Imperial Shadow looked up and saw Kazuo Jimmu shirtless with a short katana stuck in his abdomen. He cut the whole abdomen, and the intestines and blood flowed out, but the man was still kneeling on the tatami mat, his waist straight.

Grief ensued, followed by anger and determination, and he drew his sword of astonishment and beheaded the emperor. Just as he was about to wrap the emperor's head in a cloth, someone suddenly broke in and saw this scene, and was immediately furious, thinking that the emperor had killed the emperor.

The samurai who came pulled out his katana and killed the emperor, but the emperor didn't explain, and cut the two samurai with a single sword. Then he carried the head of Kazuo Shenmu in one hand and the sword of Silence in the other hand and smashed into the palaces of various generals in Kansai.

In just three days, all the shoguns of the shogunate were killed by the Imperial Shadow.

Then the imperial shadow came to the camp where Bu Jingyun was stationed, and presented the head of Kazuo Shenmu to him: "Governor Bu, all the generals of the shogunate have been killed by me, and Dongying has no power, you can take over Dongying's affairs at any time." ”

Bu Jingyun was shocked when he saw the head of Shenwu Yifu, and he still said coldly on the surface: "Why are you doing this? ”

Huangying didn't lie to him, and said bluntly: "Because Dongying can't afford to pay a billion taels of silver, I ask Emperor Shengwu to cancel the compensation for the sake of the destruction of the shogunate." From now on, there will be no more sunrise country, only Dongying Province in the Central Plains. ”

Bu Jingyun closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "I will immediately send someone to take over the Dongying regime, you take the head of Shenwu Yifu, and explain it to Emperor Shengwu yourself." ”

Huangying nodded in agreement, then lifted the head of Kazuo Shenwu, and once again embarked on the road to the Central Plains.

Ji Yang got the news first, and Shenwu Kazuo was so resolute, then the compensation was no longer established. The top priority is to control Dongying and North Korea, and there should be no problem with Dongying there being a step in the clouds.

Tonglu has long begun to infiltrate North Korea and is already the underground emperor of North Korea. Ji Yang issued an edict, ordering Qin Shuang, the governor of Jizhou, to immediately send troops to North Korea and cooperate with Tonglu to completely control the country.

Before North Korea was invaded by Dongying, it had been torn apart, and millions of people died worse than the Central Plains. In this case, the soldiers and horses led by Qin Shuang were like no one, and soon planted the flag in Kyoto.

"It's too difficult to break down the spirit of bushido, so it's better to use it than to destroy it." Ji Yang began to rethink Dongying's strategy, the spirit of bushido, this kind of thing is disgusting in other people's hands, but it is very sharp in his own hands.

The reason why Ji Yang had this new idea was that he had trained an army of Dongying warriors and made repeated contributions in overseas wars, which made Ji Yang see this benefit. The desperate "kamikaze team" is all Dongying warriors, who are not afraid of death, Ji Yang pondered whether to let Jiexin be the commander of Dongying.

Absolute loyalty should be no problem after all these years of testing.
