Chapter 306: Flood Relief

In a big battle of more than 100,000 people, in the end, including those who were liquidated after the war, a total of about 10,000 people died, which is already considered a very slight number of casualties.

Although ordinary soldiers are not valuable, and they can easily recruit a large number of grass people, it is not so easy to train middle and high-level officers, and it is really nerve-wracking to lose so many at once. Even if there is enough money and food to organize a large army, there is no one to command, and it can only be a rabble. If you want to rebuild an army, you can't do it at least for a short time.

The imperial court was quiet for the time being, and Jian Mingyue did not plan to make any more noise, but continued to develop internal affairs with peace of mind. Swallowing the territory of the two provinces at once, you have to digest it for a while.

Just because both sides are quiet doesn't mean the world is quiet. Some people saw that Jian Mingyue's development was booming, but the imperial court was powerless, knowing that it was time to change the dynasty, and the ambition was difficult to contain. So in just a few months, more than a dozen rebel armies sprang up in various places, and the big tens of thousands dared to call themselves kings and emperors, and the small ones were only 1,000 people, and they also called themselves generals and lords. was troubled by these, and suddenly the world was in chaos.

The court can't do anything about Jian Mingyue, it doesn't mean that there is no way to take these people. Although it is almost rotten, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is not a problem to clean up a few thousand bandits. After another three months, more than a dozen rebel armies were wiped out, but under the big waves of sand, the sand was washed away, revealing real gold, and finally three groups of men and horses persevered to survive, and each occupied a piece of territory, forming a separatist trend.

Jian Mingyue ignored the disturbances from the outside world, even if other rebels sent people to ask for an alliance, they were noncommittal. She is still watching to see if the surviving three rebel armies have the image of a king. If any of them met the standards of the king in Jian Mingyue's mind, she didn't mind giving him all the existing inheritance and hiding behind the scenes. But at present, these three people are either too vicious, or they are corrupted by wealth and nobility if they have a little achievement, or they have no mercy for the people, and they are not kings, so they can only continue to observe.

Jian Mingyue can be indifferent to other things, but an incident that happened in the court made Jian Mingyue have to pay attention.

After the imperial army was defeated by Jian Mingyue, it was inevitable that the person responsible for this defeat would be investigated. The commander in command of the army is naturally responsible, and no matter whether others are responsible or not, as long as they are attacked by political enemies, they will inevitably be in trouble. Even the major righteous sects that were only responsible for serving as bodyguards and did not participate in the war were also labeled as ineffective in helping the war. said that they could have killed a few generals of the anti-thieves in the battle formation and turned the tide of the battle, but they still refused to make a move.

Several major orthodox sects are all monastic sects, and they are afraid of the change of secular regime, but this time they are willing to send someone to protect the head of the imperial court, and it is already a certain important minister of the court who uses his personal favors, plus they heard that there are also cultivators in the rebels, so they are willing to send people. They can protect the commander and avoid being assassinated by the cultivators with Taoism is the biggest concession, how can they still help the court kill ordinary people? After all, not everyone is as stupid and bold as Jian Mingyue and Yan Chixia, who dare to get involved in the whirlpool of secular power with a little understanding of merit and karma. Now they are still being blamed, and they just took the opportunity to withdraw and ignore these bad things anymore.

Immediately after the people of the Zhengdao sect withdrew, a monk who claimed to be "Pudu Cihang" stood up and declared that he was willing to help the imperial court exterminate the rebels, and displayed a powerful spell, which immediately convinced the officials and the emperor of the court. The emperor did not hesitate to appoint Pudu Cihang as the national teacher, and the ministers did not strongly oppose it, even if a few people thought it was inappropriate, they were also suppressed.

After this national teacher ascended to the throne, he immediately opened an altar to preach the Fa, turned almost all the ministers and their families into his own followers, and accepted countless disciples. Originally, he had little power as a national teacher, but after holding the minister and the minister's family in his hands, his power suddenly increased greatly, and sometimes he spoke more effectively than the emperor. So he began to meddle in the government and politics, and several people who opposed him as a national teacher were the first to be unlucky, and they were imprisoned for a crime.

This Pudu Cihang stirred up trouble in the imperial court, making the already rotten imperial court even more chaotic. This was a good thing for Jian Mingyue and them, but after Jian Mingyue heard the news, she looked solemn and asked Yan Chixia to discuss behind closed doors for a long time.

Others don't know the details of Pudu Cihang, how can Jian Mingyue not know? After telling Yan Chixia that this national teacher was actually a centipede spirit, Yan Chixia was also startled. He didn't doubt Jian Mingyue's words at all, and he didn't even ask why Jian Mingyue knew, so he began to discuss how to deal with it.

After all, Yan Chixia is a native here, and she knows a lot more than Jian Mingyue, and after knowing the details of Pudu Cihang, she immediately deduced that the purpose of this monster should be the dragon qi of the imperial court.

Every dynasty has a dragon vein, which many people know. What most people don't know is that dragon veins don't just keep a dynasty going, they can be used for a lot more. For example, let a centipede essence that has cultivated to a certain level become a true dragon after absorbing it.

Of course, not only centipede spirits can turn into real dragons, but other monsters such as snake spirits, carp spirits, and other monsters that are related to dragons can do so. But there are very few people who really dare to do this, because the dragon vein is the foundation for the continuation of a dynasty, and if it is forcibly absorbed, this dynasty will inevitably be cut off, and there will be turmoil in the world. To cause such serious consequences, the karma must be massive, and even if it turns into a real dragon, the gains outweigh the losses.

But just because few monsters dare to do that doesn't mean they don't. No, there is a centipede essence who has done this, and he has done it blatantly. Thinking about it deeply, in fact, this is related to Jian Mingyue and them, they first set off a wave of rebellion, making the court crumbling, and it looks like it is about to fall. At this time, absorbing the dragon qi of the imperial court will reduce the karma caused by most of it. After all, there is already a big chaos in the world, and even if the court falls, it will not be even more chaotic, and the karma will naturally be less. This guess made Jian Mingyue smack her lips, how could she get it around, but it was up to her? Even without her, what if the centipede spirit would appear to be good?

Since the appearance of this centipede spirit has something to do with them, they can't sit idly by. In case the centipede spirit does too much evil, and the Heavenly Dao counts this cause and effect on them, who will they go to reason? It's better to kill the centipede spirit as soon as possible.

However, since the centipede spirit became the national teacher, even the celestial phenomena began to be abnormal, and somehow it suddenly began to rain heavily. Half of Jian Mingyue's territory is within the range of heavy rains, and there is a danger of flooding soon. Ordinary people are facing the threat of floods, and even if there is a big event, they can only let go of it first and start all-out disaster relief.

At the beginning, Jian Mingyue thought that he knew water attribute spells, and controlling the flood was not a piece of cake? When it came time to help the disaster, I realized that it was not that simple. The amount of water that her current mana can control is estimated to reach more than 1,000 tons, which sounds terrifying, but in front of the surging river, more than 1,000 tons is a fart! In a short section of the river, there are 10,000 tons of water. In front of nature, her little mana is simply a speck of dust. If you forcibly block it without your own strength, you don't need to negotiate at all. Think about Bai Suzhen, who is full of water, it turns out that she is far behind!

However, the water spell is not useless at all, as long as it is used cleverly, it can also play a miraculous effect. For example, where there is a hole in the dam, she only needs to control the flood near the opening, block more water with water, and let people block the mouth in time, which is no problem at all.

There are also earth-based spells, which can also be very useful at this time. When the dam is seeping water but not collapsing, Earth Spells can stop the seepage and strengthen the embankment. It's just that the soil is thick and solidified, and the amount of soil that can be controlled with the same mana is much less than that of water, and the embankment can be strengthened at most five or six zhang at a time.

Although Jian Mingyue's spell could not completely solve the flood, it could also save the emergency, but because the radius that could be controlled was too small, Jian Mingyue had to keep flying around, raising a flag or blowing a trumpet wherever there was a danger, and Jian Mingyue immediately rushed over to the rescue.

Although Yan Chixia could also use the Five Elements Spell and the Wind Resisting Technique, and also had the blue bottle that Jian Mingyue gave him to replenish mana, he still couldn't be as busy as Jian Mingyue, and he had to take a break from time to time. Mana can be replenished, but the spirit cannot be replenished, if the spell is cast excessively, it will make people in a trance, and if you accidentally fall into the water, the unconscious cultivator will also be drowned.

Watching Jian Mingyue fly around non-stop, not idle for a moment, Yan Chixia really admired the five-body throw. In terms of mana, he is only a little worse than Jian Mingyue, but in terms of actual combat power, Jian Mingyue alone can top him eight. Especially when I saw that Jian Mingyue was filling in the leaks, she also flew to the clouds to try to disperse the dark clouds, so she could only look up, and deeply doubted that she was still human? Why don't you lose your spirits?

Dispersing the dark clouds is a more thankless job than repairing the embankment, if it is an ordinary dark cloud, it may be dispersed with a wave of your hand, but now the dark clouds cover a radius of thousands of miles, and the thickness reaches dozens of miles. It's like a truckload of soybeans turning over on the road and picking them up one by one, which is time-consuming, laborious and ineffective. But in order to end the rainstorm as soon as possible, Jian Mingyue still went to drive away the clouds as soon as she had time.

Under the leadership of Jian Mingyue and the joint efforts of all the soldiers and civilians, the flood finally subsided after five days. Although many fields and houses were still flooded, fortunately, the embankment did not burst and there were no large casualties. It's just that the grain production has been reduced and the houses have collapsed, which is completely acceptable.

But outside Jian Mingyue's territory, the disaster is much more serious, hundreds of people's homes were destroyed, those who were drowned were lucky, and those who barely survived had to struggle on the death line. But the court turned a blind eye to this and left these people to fend for themselves. (To be continued.) )
