Chapter 172: The Heavenly Army Reappears
Nowadays, every day, there will be a list of suspected spies from various departments in the north sent to the Lu Mansion, and people are quietly disappearing every day, and the princes outside the north are separating forces, and important people often die violently, making many princes everyone in danger, it will be a fierce counterattack, or a heart of submission.
Since Lu Fan laid the foundation in the northern kingdom and then served in the imperial capital, Lu Fan's horizons gradually broadened, and Lu Fan knew that governing the country required the maintenance of many institutions, and in order for this huge imperial machine to operate, many institutions were required to operate well.
And as Lu Fan stayed in the upper echelons of the imperial capital, the more he knew and understood, and after returning to the north, he would also use the mode of knowing in the north.
Although Lu Fan did not have the hard power of French in the emperor, while Lu Fan was clumsy, the invisible soft power continued to accumulate, after all, behind him was the entire northern kingdom as a dependent.
And not only did the people in the imperial capital not find out, but even the people in the Lu Mansion didn't know everything about it.
Nowadays, the operation of the northern kingdom is like a miniature version of the thriving empire, although the sparrow is small and has all the organs, and in terms of intelligence network, the intelligence penetration of the northern kingdom has been called the leader among many powerful people, although it cannot be compared with the heyday under the leadership of the first emperor, but it is enough to match it.
Compared with the current broken imperial network, it has already won a bit, and even in terms of depth and breadth to a certain extent, it is far better than the dilapidated empire, and many forces also have a certain depth outside the country, and even directly take over the intelligence latent network of the previous empire outside the country.
Many years ago, Lu Fan once saw a record in ancient books that the ancient empire once had two flying heavenly armies that shook the continent, one was the flying knight known to everyone today, and the other was an army composed of winged people with wings on their backs.
However, since ancient times, various changes in the environment and ecology have made the winged people less and less and gradually extinct, and this mythical army has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.
Only the well-known flying knights remained, but with the increasing destructive power of the war, today's flying knights have withdrawn from the real front line of the war, turned to the intelligence detection network, and even become a status symbol in many large families.
With the development of science and technology, and the myth of today's army is about to reappear in the world, just because the airship of the Ministry of Industry of the Northern Kingdom has finally succeeded in building, although the airship of Fuso has been organized into an army, but the heavenly army that has not been able to resist well is now available in the empire, which can be matched with it.
The improvement of crossbow arrows has made the range of crossbow arrows reach unprecedented height and penetrating ability, but accuracy is a big difficulty, but since Lu Prisoner learned this news, he has not paid attention, because the battlefield uses quantity to make up for the gap in accuracy.
However, what made Lu Fan's heart flutter the most was the divine artillery, and its artillery divine power had the power of a monk.
If multiple cannons were to bombard the cultivators, they could even blast them into powder.
And many years ago, when he was in Qinggang Mansion, Lu Fan was captured by the Shengla Kingdom, and that time Lu Fan also saw the strength of the Winged People Tribe.
But unfortunately, the number of people is very small, otherwise the kingdom of Sanla may have done something else.
But now Lu Fan no longer takes the Winged People tribe in his eyes.
This is the development of the times and the progress of science and technology!
Some time ago, the Demon Hunting Department of the Demon Corps accidentally strayed into a hidden paradise, and found a village where he escaped the world, and there were nearly 1,000 people in the village, all of them were winged people, four-armed winged people, one-armed winged people...
This discovery made Lu Fan attach great importance to it, and finally under the pressure of Lu Fan's army, the winged people finally compromised and pulled most of the elite in the village into the northern army, forming a heavenly army of more than 300 people.
As a condition, Lu Fan promised not to disturb the peaceful life of the Winged People tribe again, and one of the tribes should be requested, and the northern kingdom will try its best to meet the requirements, and an ordinary human village nearby.
Because he knew the abnormality of the army this time, he was ordered by Lu Fan to merge the entire village into the Winged People tribe for the Winged People to send envoys to make up for the shortage of labor for the elite to leave the tribe.
In fact, this is also a disguised way to monitor this winged tribe, and its every move is under control!
However, it claimed that because of the demonic beasts, the spirit was raging and slaughtered hundreds of people in this village.
The army came here to encircle and suppress the demon beasts, eliminate the harm for the people, and at the same time set this place as a forbidden area, and the original few tribes also moved to the bustling big towns.
When the army withdrew, Lu Fan also ordered the army to destroy all the plank roads on the way into the mountain, making it difficult for ordinary people to find here, but for the winged people, there was no big problem without the passage on land.
In the north, a number of hidden troops are training in secret, not only winged people, but also airship take-off and landing flight training.
And the thunder in the deep mountains of the northern country is continuous all day long, which is the test firing of the Kamui artillery.
It's just that each army is independent, and it doesn't dominate between them, but simply obeys orders and orders from the Lu government.
Ordinary armies, cavalry, infantry, and even archers must cooperate with each other, but for this new military weapon, it is necessary to keep it secret before unsheathing, so as to achieve a surprise victory in the first battle.
And Lu Fan also bought a large number of beautiful young women of various ethnic groups and sent them to the barracks for the enjoyment of the wingers, so that they would not want to return, and secondly, he also hoped that these women could conceive the heirs of the winged people and reproduce the heirs of the winged people.
And anyone who can successfully give birth to a winged heir will be rewarded, and if a woman who gives birth to a winged heir, she can go to the inferior status of slavery and maidservant, and live a life without food and clothing.
And Yin Lan is in charge of these things.
In the hearts of the people of the northern country, Lu Fan is their king, and even respects him like a god. are all the positive images of a generation of Mingjun.
But when you really get in touch with a certain side of Lu Fan, you can find that under the glorious image, there is an unknown darkness hidden.
And those who know this may not agree with his approach, but no one can blame him.
This is giving and giving. Because compared to these efforts, the reward is the prosperity of the entire northern country.
Only those who pay for it suffer, there may be a lot of injustice to them, but the world has never been fair.
The autumn breeze is bleak, the leaves are flying, and it is another autumn.
This year, Lu Fan has never left the northern country, and all the wars have others fighting outside, and Lu Fan is firmly seated in the Shuai Mansion.
Without leaving the northern country and knowing everything about the world, now Lu Fan is sitting in the newly built Junshuai Mansion in Youzhou.
For example, although there is chaos today, there are only a few real strengths to compete for deer, the five countries of Beiguo, Weiguo, Qi, Chen, and Wei.
As for the other small countries, there is no cause for concern.
Today, the empire is also known as the 'Rebellion of the Five Kingdoms'.
The imperial capital is like a family, it often changes hands, and it is just a common thing to change owners.
But today, with the expansion of Lu Fan's army to the south, it has reached as many as 170,000, and Lu Ying's 50,000 cavalry has been expanded to 80,000 horses, but half of them are not cavalry.
Lu Meng has rapidly expanded his troops, reaching more than 90,000 people, while the cavalry has expanded from more than 10,000 horsemen to the south to 20,000 horsemen today.
Compared with the northern kingdom a year ago, the territory has doubled, and the crops under the territory are in the autumn harvest season at this moment, and after years of war, this year's new northern territories have a good harvest in the first year.
Sometimes people are like a snowflake falling from a snowy mountain, and by chance, it becomes a small snowball, rolling down from the snowy mountain, rolling bigger and bigger, and even eventually causing an earth-shattering avalanche!
The effect caused by that has grown exponentially, and it is exactly like this in the northern country now, and it all seems to be God's help!
