[264] A powerful empire
[264] A powerful empire
Five, fifty million? When Li Ye heard Xie Feng's words, even though his heart had long been numb from being shocked by everything that happened today, at this moment, he was still speechless. Fifty million warships, all of which are beyond the heavens and above, Xie Feng's imperial strength is really boundless
You must know that even in the entire Penglai Empire, the number of warships routinely equipped by the military department is only five million. Of course, this is only the superficial data that Li Ye knows, and he doesn't know how much he knows, after all, this is the army of Emperor Xuanyuan, and it is impossible to tell all the military secrets to the kings.
But even if it is the same, it is impossible for the Penglai Empire to have more than 10 million warships, which still includes the warships of the Yellow class, Xuanji and Earth classes. As the main force, the heaven-class battleship has always been the ace army of the empire, and there is very little information revealed to the outside world. Although one thing can be confirmed, the military power of the Penglai Empire is not limited to warships, but also countless warriors sent to the military headquarters from various sects every year.
No one knows how strong these warriors are after receiving special training from the military department. But one thing is certain, anyone who has reached the acquired level of powerhouse also has a certain resistance ability in the face of heaven-level warships. If it is a congenital master, with his flying ability and extremely strong internal strength, it is enough to pose a fatal threat to the heaven-level battleship.
Fifty million warships, even the Xie Empire, which is now rich in resources, will take a year to produce. In fact, Xie Feng is just talking, proving that the Xie Empire has such ability. However, he will not prepare so many warships, in the plan of the military department, maintaining the military strength of 50 million warships is already the limit, and it is impossible to spend more resources on building warships.
Unless it was a time of war, it was impossible for Xie Feng to do that. The biggest reason is that the technology of the Xie Empire will continue to improve, if the existing resources are spent to build a large number of warship legions, not to mention maintenance, future upgrading and transformation will be a very troublesome problem.
Therefore, in the current peacetime, under the premise that there is no war, 50 million warships are enough to protect the existing sphere of influence of the Xie Empire. Even in the event of a temporary local war, 50 million is enough to cope with it for a long time. For example, sending a large army to kill the Shatara system, a small-scale war Xie Feng can start at any time, but a large-scale war requires preparations in all aspects, and during this time, with the capacity of the Xie Empire's military factory, it is enough to produce enough warships to deal with the war.
"Master Xie, do you really plan to dominate the entire Hongmeng Galaxy?" After calming down, Li Ye looked at Xie Feng, his eyes flashing with Dao essence. Obviously, with the strong military strength behind Xie Feng, it is very likely that no one has been able to accomplish this eternal feat since the appearance of the Hongmeng Galaxy.
Smiling faintly, Xie Feng said lightly: "Li Ye, do you think that such a vast universe is just one of yours, the Hongmeng Galaxy?" Let me tell you, there are countless races that are a hundred times more powerful than the entire Harmony galaxy in the universe. Empires that are more powerful than my Xie Empire abound in the middle of the vast universe. ”
"Fifty million warships may be an unimaginably large number for your Penglai Empire, but let me tell you, in the Central Universe, a super empire with five hundred billion warships is probably not much. Because their sphere of influence is too large, the number of warships needed is also a staggering number. ”
Xie Feng's meaning when he said this was very clear, he just wanted to tell Li Ye that in the vast universe, he should never think that he was the most powerful person. Overconfidence and self-destruction lead to faster demise. Therefore, even Xie Feng, who was as strong as he is today, has never stopped thinking about continuing to improve his strength.
As the king of a country, Li Ye knows a lot of things at a glance. He finally understood what Xie Feng meant. In order to survive forever in a universe full of dangers, it is necessary to continuously strengthen oneself. This is not a human body in itself, but the entire Xie Empire.
Only by constantly developing and growing, it is possible to defeat the opponent when facing a strong enemy one day in the future. Inherit your own national bloodline forever. And what Xie Feng has to do now is to incorporate the entire Hongmeng Galaxy into the territory of the Xie Empire step by step, so that when he encounters a strong enemy in the future, he can fight the enemy together.
"I understand" Li Ye looked at Xie Feng, his eyes were not excited and excited. Instead, there is an indescribable heaviness, with the chaotic situation of the current Hongmeng Galaxy, once a strong enemy invades, it is simply vulnerable. But the problem is that so far, there has not been a king who is enough to dominate the Hongmeng galaxy, and the so-called Hongmeng galaxy is still as chaotic as ever.
Perhaps Xie Feng's arrival was arranged by the heavens, and with the space jump technology, the people in the Hongmeng galaxy could finally go to the universe, instead of continuing to fight each other in the starry sky where resources were already very poor. For Li Ye and the Li family, this should be a turning point in fate, even if it is still difficult for Xie Feng to unify the Hongmeng Galaxy, but following Xie Feng is much better than continuing to be a puppet royal family of the empire.
At that moment, Li Ye didn't hesitate any longer, Xie Feng had already thrown out an olive branch, don't be an idiot. He followed the example of others saluting Xie Feng, knelt down on one knee in front of Xie Feng, and swore that he would follow Xie Feng and help the Xie Empire achieve the hegemony of the ages. Although the Li family of the Tang Dynasty is only a small force in the Hongmeng Galaxy, Li Ye believes that Xie Feng will never need just one Li family, and more forces will join the camp of the Xie Empire in the future.
Fortunately, the Li family was one step ahead of the others. With Li Hong's relationship, the Li family will definitely be able to rule the entire Hongmeng galaxy as Xie Feng said in the future. He knew very well in his heart that the development of the Xie Empire was not just about incorporating the Hongmeng Galaxy into the territory, but in the future, the Hongmeng Galaxy would only be an integral part of the Xie Empire.
"Get up" Xie Feng said to Li Ye: "I know that you can't make a decision alone, you can talk to the elders of the Li family about this matter after you go back, but be careful not to leak the news." ”
Li Ye nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I believe that our Li family will be very excited to become the help of Your Majesty's unification of Hongmeng." Xie Feng said "um", Li Ye is not a child, as an emperor with a deep city, he will not be unable to do this thing. As for Li Hong, he had already said that he would always follow Xie Feng, and I believe that he would not care about the dominance of a Hongmeng galaxy, after all, the rights that Xie Feng could give him in the future would only be greater.
After visiting the Emperor Dragon Galaxy, Xie Feng took Li Hong and Li Ye to Earth, so that they could also see China, which has a very similar civilization. Xie Feng himself joked that the ancestors of the descendants of Yan and Huang were very likely to come out of the Hongmeng Galaxy, of course, there is no conclusive conclusion for this kind of thing, maybe everything is just a coincidence
Just like Xie Feng himself, he was reborn and completely changed the fate of the people on earth. In the future, will you suddenly encounter a race that is exactly the same as Xie Feng's previous life? The universe is so big, there are no surprises, Xie Feng didn't think much about it, if rebirth was just a dream, he believed that this dream would never wake up again.
After not staying on Earth for too long, Xie Feng returned to the Penglai Empire with Li Ye and Li Hong. After all, Li Ye is still the identity of the King of the Tang Dynasty, and if he suddenly disappears, it will inevitably cause chaos in the entire Li family, and it will also arouse the suspicion of Emperor Xuanyuan. Li Hong took the Dragon Gate Headquarters on his own, and Xie Feng took Li Ye to teleport to the place where they disappeared before.
A silver light flashed, and Li Ye soon saw the familiar palace again. Recalling everything that happened just now, as if he had a dream, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie Feng. If it weren't for Xie Feng really standing in front of him, it is estimated that he would really think that everything was an illusion.
Thinking of the crisis that Longmen was encountering in front of him, Li Ye asked, "Your Majesty, the Emperor wants me to ask about pirates and Longmen, how do you see how I should explain." ”
This question is also the main reason why Xie Feng came to Li Ye today. He asked Li Ye to sit down as well, raised the teacup and took a sip of the tea that had been cold, and then said without hurrying: "You directly announce to the outside world that those warships are not pirates, but the Li family's fleet." And informed everyone that the Li family and Longmen had already secretly formed an alliance, and the battleship was lent to Longmen by the Li family. ”
Li Ye nodded without hesitation, "Okay, that's it." In the future, any sect that dares to provoke the Longmen will be the enemy of our Li family. Moreover, the fact that Hong Er is a disciple of the Dragon Sect has long been known to everyone, and according to the laws of the empire, my Tang royal family has the right to retaliate against any martial arts who dare to assassinate the prince. ”
According to the laws of the empire, the first-class family can equip 10,000 warships below the prefecture level. And the nine royal families can equip warships below the 100,000 heaven level. Xie Feng took out an energy disk from his arms and handed it to Li Ye, "This disk stores a set of battleship construction techniques, you can use it to renovate the Li family's battleship, and at the same time use it to persuade the rest of the Li family." In addition, I will send someone to contact you and send you a space jump device and technical guidance personnel from the military headquarters on Earth. ”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became excited. Although the Li family will definitely get unimaginable benefits and benefits in the future with Xie Feng, everything is not as exciting as the most real benefits that will be received immediately. He carefully took the energy disk from Xie Feng's hand and tightened it in his arms, with technology, the Li family could afford to equip a more powerful military force. Space jumps, in particular, are simply the most powerful killing weapon in war.
As for Emperor Xuanyuan's side, Li Ye will naturally have his own set of rhetoric. The Li family is a royal family, but those gate factions simply ignore it, and the friction between the two is not a day or two, especially the Xinghe Gate, the Li family complained to the reigning Emperor Xuanyuan hundreds of years ago.
Now that the Li family and Longmen have joined forces, it has become a matter of course that the headquarters of the Xinghemen Martial Arts Gate has been razed to the ground. Anyway, the grievances between the royal family and the Wumen have always been the most acute problem of the contradictions in the Penglai Empire, there is nothing to explain, if the Li family is not good, and it is destroyed by the people of Xinghemen, at most it will be the same end.
In history, it is not without large-scale conflicts between the royal family and the martial arts, but the two sides temporarily endured under the mediation of Emperor Xuanyuan. Because if the martial arts sect is not dead, Emperor Xuanyuan will not stand idly by. The final outcome will only be that this martial sect will be completely destroyed by the masters sent by the imperial army.
Xie Feng and Li Ye discussed in detail some details that needed to be paid attention to in the future before leaving the palace. Li Ye touched the energy disk in his arms, and felt a little impatient, so he stood up and clapped his hands to call a palace envoy and inform him to prepare the flying machine. The palace envoy hurriedly nodded yes, Li Ye returned to the dormitory to change into a set of civilian clothes, and under the escort of his henchmen, he went to the Li family's clan land.
Although Li Ye is the king of the Tang Dynasty, he is not the patriarch of the Li family. Above the patriarch, there is also the Elders' Pavilion, a symbol of the highest power. And the head of the Li family is the person voted for by the Elders' Pavilion. The Li family has a big business, spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and uses the power in their hands to include all the profiteering industries.
It has developed for more than 2,000 years, although it is not as good as other royal families, but it is not comparable to ordinary families. Li Ye returned to the clan land in a hovering car and sent someone to inform the elders of the Elder Pavilion, claiming that there was a major matter related to the interests of the family to report. Although he is not the patriarch, Li Ye, as the king of the Tang Dynasty, is responsible for the administration of the entire Tang Kingdom, and the danger and power are still very great, and he is not weaker than the patriarch.
Without something very important, Li Ye would not easily return to the clan land. At this time, the elders of the Li family also heard the news about the Longmen leveling more than twenty Wumen headquarters overnight, and everyone understood that if the Li family did not give a reasonable explanation, Emperor Xuanyuan would probably not let the Li family go easily.
The elders were preparing to recruit Li Ye back for this matter, but they didn't expect Li Ye to run back first. Hearing the news that Li Ye had come back and convened a meeting of the elders, all the elders were eyelids. They all know the relationship between Li Hong and Longmen, and Li Ye personally made Li Hong the crown prince, and I am afraid that a large part of the reason for this incident is the relationship between Li Hong and Longmen.
Li Ye walked into the family meeting hall with excited steps, and the hall was already full of people at this time, and the entire Li family was more than thirty elders, all of whom were seventy or eighty years old, but because of their strong internal strength, they didn't look old. In addition to the family elders, there are other juniors with high status and rights here, including the family patriarch of Li Ye's father's generation.
Because Li Ye is the king of the Tang Dynasty appointed by Emperor Xuanyuan, he is almost the youngest in the clan, but he is a very powerful person. He was also the only one under the age of 50 who was allowed to enter the conference hall. The elders didn't have much opinion on the puppet Tang King elected by Emperor Xuanyuan. Li Ye did not do anything particularly out of the ordinary during his reign, his father was originally the Tang King elected by the clan, and Li Ye's lineage has the greatest power in the family.
The Great Elder is Li Ye's grandfather, and when he saw Li Ye's face with joy at this time, his originally worried heart finally settled down a lot, and most of the others were the same, at least Li Ye didn't look as hurried as he imagined. "Ye'er, what is the purpose of your sudden return to convene a meeting?"
Li Ye first looked around the hall, and then said, "Clan masters, clan uncles, Ye'er came back this time because of a major event about the future fate of the Li family. ”
"Oh, what's the big deal?" Everyone else was stunned, and they couldn't think of anything big about fate if the Li family was doing well. Li Ye frowned, leaned into the ear of the Great Elder and whispered a few words. This action immediately made the other elders a little dissatisfied, but they didn't say anything. Li Ye's lineage, because there is the strongest innate master of the Li family, is very powerful.
Listening to Li Ye's words, the Great Elder suddenly turned his head and stared at him with wide eyes, his eyes full of horror, "Really? Li Ye nodded with a serious expression, "There is no lie."
Li Changjiang stared at him for a long time, took a deep breath, changed his head, his gaze swept over the faces of everyone present in the meeting hall, and suddenly said: "Elders Tianyuan and Diyuan are both staying, and the others are temporarily retreating, it is too important at this time, and it is related to the life and death of the Li family." ”
Like many big families, the elders are divided into: Tianyuan, Diyuan, Xuanyuan and Huangyuan, and in the Li family, the elders above Diyuan are the most powerful and capable clansmen, and regard the interests of the family above all else. After Li Changjiang finished speaking, the elders below the Diyuan level got up and left one after another, although there was doubt in their eyes, but there was no reluctance. All big families have very strict hierarchies.
Of those present, there were only nine elders left, and even the patriarch was not qualified to stay. This person is the center of the authority of the entire Li family, and is only responsible for the major affairs of the Li family. Great Elder Li Changjiang said to Li Ye: "Ye'er, tell me about it, do you want our Li family to rebel?" ”
As soon as the word rebellion came out, the other eight elders were suddenly shocked, and their eyes looked at Li Ye in unison. Li Ye had a calm face, he believed that people died for money, birds died for food, and the elders would be excited because of this matter. Li Ye unhurriedly took out a military video material brought back from the earth, and put it on the stage along with the image data of the killing battleship that Xie Feng gave him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone knows the sect of Longmen. But no one knows that behind this sect is a really powerful military empire. Li Ye slowly spoke the language that had already been organized, and at the same time played some of the military video materials of the Xie Empire to everyone to see.
The nine elders silently looked at the Xie Clan's imperial army in the video, and when the Arbiter God-class battleship appeared, the shock on everyone's faces could no longer be concealed. Then, Li Ye played the information of the killing-class battleship that he had seen before, and the elders were as deeply shocked by the powerful combat power and defense capabilities of the killing-class battleship as he had at the beginning.
"Longmen has been in development for less than a year, and now it has nearly a million disciples, and although most of them are newcomers, their growth rate is astounding. Ladies and gentlemen, until today, I also know that the Xie Empire has a total of four innate level masters (one of whom is Galena), and there are a total of 8,000 acquired powerhouses. There are 43 million Heaven-class warships, which once destroyed a race with a population of 50 billion. ”
Speaking of this, Li Ye glanced at everyone, "With Hong'er's relationship, our Li family has the honor of becoming the first family to assist the Xie Empire, and in the future, we will get the management of the Hongmeng Galaxy." Ladies and gentlemen, do we still need to think about it? The Xuanyuan family is vulnerable in front of the Xie Empire."
