The Great Xia Dynasty has an unprecedentedly vast territory of the Middle-earth Dynasty in the past dynasties, and the economy, military, culture and so on are unprecedentedly strong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Even the current emperor of Great Xia himself has always thought that the main problem of Great Xia lies in the court, and the others are some minor problems, as long as the various factions in the court are suppressed one by one, the world will be peaceful and prosperous.

Now, with the rebellion of Zoroastrianism, the entire Great Xia has fallen into internal and external troubles, only to find that the previous prosperous scene is just an illusion, and under the bright appearance, there is a precarious mess.

After all, Emperor Yongchang has been an emperor for many years, and he still has some brains and skills, and he realized that the matter was urgent, in addition to inviting some celebrities to the court to ask about politics, he also recalled many talented ministers. Originally, Emperor Yongchang was old and planned to pave the way for the new emperor, so he suppressed and exiled some thorns in the court, so that the throne could be handed over smoothly, but now he can't take care of those.

However, when those celebrities and officials entered the court, they learned some specific situations, and they also stared dryly, and now the Great Xia court is facing too many problems, although many problems are unavoidable in any dynasty, if you want to talk about it, it is also Emperor Yongchang's own suffering.

Emperor Yongchang has been content with ease and pleasure over the years, spending money not too coolly, and has done a lot of projects, such as temples, Taoist temples, palaces, and gardens, and has also appointed some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even if they know, they will be allowed to do so. The succession to the throne was not determined for a long time, and as a result, several princes and ministers of the court and the central government were divided into several factions, fighting openly and secretly, causing unrest in the government and the opposition, affecting many affairs of the imperial court, and many affairs were delayed or some wrong decisions were made. Emperor Yongchang likes to play balance, hit this side, knock on that side, play too high, the emperor seems to be in power, but in fact he has lost the hearts of the people, so that many people below are dissatisfied, no one comes out in trouble, everyone has their own little abacus, how can such a court be good?

In the face of such a mess, some of the celebrities and officials who were invited also regretted a little, especially many of their previous ideas, which were difficult to implement, like Xie Jinan and Fazong, originally hoped to be able to reform drastically, but the current Daxia can withstand such a fierce medicine? Of course not.

It is impossible for them to go back to their homes, since they have come, they can only bite the bullet and put forward some opinions to Emperor Yongchang, and Emperor Yongchang adopted some of them, and then issued a series of wills, including sending ministers to appease some rebellious forces, punish some corrupt officials and corrupt officials with greater public resentment, reward skilled craftsmen for making artillery, and reward some families and individuals who resist Zoroastrianism, etc.

Most of these decrees are palliative, not curative, and their main purpose is only to buy some respite for the imperial court, so that the huge empire can have time to really operate, and the foundation of Great Xia is still there, as long as the state apparatus is running, dispatching troops, and raising grain and grass, some way can always be found.

However, at this time, the northern Xinjiang was in an emergency, and the Beiliang army attacked in a big way.

At the same time, after a period of silence, Zoroastrianism once again exerted its strength, successively won the land of two states, Zoroastrianism can be called a professional rebel, rich experience in rebellion, this time learn from many experiences of previous rebellion failures, while stabilizing the interior, began to recruit people from all sides, as a result, there are really many people who defected.

It is also the Great Xia self-inflicted, the original founding emperor of the Great Xia, afraid that the military generals will support the army and self-respect, established a set of checks and balances, with the civil system, over the years, the results are remarkable, many generals have been suppressed to return to their hometowns, many generals are difficult to come forward, a large number of warriors are not easy to live, life is difficult, some of them have become bandits, killers.

For ordinary people, of course, the peaceful season is good, and for martial artists and generals, troubled times can show their own value, since there is no place for the imperial court, it is natural to go to Zoroastrianism to find a way out.

On the side of the imperial court, I originally thought that the fierce generals in the court were like clouds, but at this time, many generals were not in the court, and they were immediately recruited, and few people responded, and many were either old or sick, in fact, it was just an excuse. Those Jiangmen families have long seen through the face of the imperial court, and they put them aside when they don't need them, all kinds of harsh criticisms, and now they need people to work hard, thinking of them, how can there be such a cheap thing? In short, the hearts of the people are scattered, the team is not easy to lead, and now at this time, except for a few real loyal ministers, who is willing to contribute to Great Xia?

At this time, who cares about the righteousness of the country and the people, especially the feudal dynasty of the world, for some old wealthy families, they care more about the development of their own families than the country, and many big families have also experienced many dynasties, the court is gone, the family is still there, at most change a court, now the situation is chaotic, the best strategy is to watch from the wall, don't be busy betting.

The imperial court divided some of the generals and some families in the opposition who led private soldiers to resist Zoroastrianism before, but they didn't give any practical benefits, these people will fight hard for a false name? They are not military generals in the court, their families are in the court, besides, many people have grown up listening to the stories of military generals, and the current situation is simply the same as when the troubled times are coming in the story, if so, these people dare not show any thoughts in peacetime, but at this time, a different kind of mind comes out, where will they do their best to exterminate Zoroastrianism? Anyone who is smart knows that at this time, you should preserve your own strength.

As a result, under the influence of a variety of factors, Zoroastrianism quickly gained a firm foothold in several southeastern states, and Zoroastrianism advocated the establishment of the Yuding king, self-proclaimed Ming king, and subordinated to the subordinate Wenwu. After that, Zoroastrianism also sent some emissaries to win over some other rebel forces.

Lingzhou also came to the Zoroastrian messenger, sent a letter, Xiao Tianlei opened it and took a look, the beginning is "the brotherhood of virtuous brothers", just the name looks weird, the latter roughly means that the brotherhood will be obedient to Zoroastrianism, serve under the throne of Ming, attack Daxia, overthrow it together, establish a great bright world, after the matter is completed, do not hesitate to the title of the marquis, when the time comes, and the brothers will drink and talk, signed the hussar general Niu Jin...... Who is Niu Jin? Xiao Tianlei didn't think about it for a long time, he didn't think about it, he didn't care about unimportant people, he never remembered it.

Xiao Tianlei directly lost the letter and told the messenger to get out! Damn, what's that? Dare to call yourself obedient!

Xiao Tianlei didn't have any special feelings about Zoroastrianism, but he also had to admit that the Zoroastrian rebellion blocked a lot of pressure on the Brotherhood.

Such a bad attitude can't be said to offend Zoroastrianism, where would Xiao Tianlei care, the court is not afraid, and he is still afraid of a Zoroastrian? Besides, the territory of Zoroastrianism is so far away from Lingzhou, can they still fly over and bite the Brotherhood?

During this period of time, those rebellious forces can be happy enough, one pops up every three or five times, in addition to some outstanding generals and scribes who suddenly appeared, for these information, Xiao Tianlei began to pay some attention, and later found that these information, fragmentary, true and false, dazzling, often some contradictions, speaking of which is also because of the means of transmission and access channels, Lingzhou is remote after all, and the news is not well-informed, even if the brother has a special intelligence agency, the channel is limited, and the scope of control is limited, It's okay for neighboring states, and intelligence from other states far away is basically equivalent to hearsay.

Xiao Tianlei thought about it, in fact, there was no need to care about this information, anyway, now that Great Xia was too busy to take care of himself, Lingzhou had no threat whether it was on land or at sea, no matter how they played, it basically had no impact on Lingzhou, and they still had peace of mind to do their own things.

Among all the information, the only thing Xiao Tianlei cares about is that the imperial court has rewarded craftsmen for making artillery, Xiao Tianlei thinks that someone should be able to make it, originally some technologies in this world are not weak, there are firearms such as fire dragon roar and cannon as the base, and it is not difficult to make artillery, just change your thinking. However, it is easy to make artillery, to create artillery that can be used in actual combat and has good combat performance, some of these technical difficulties are not so easy to break, the most basic gunpowder problem, the gunpowder formula of this world, various, the manufacturing process is very complicated, similar to Taoist alchemy, which adds a lot of messy substances, and the power can be imagined.

Moreover, Xiao Tianlei recently bought some new heroes, among which Merlin gunner Tristana, commonly known as Cannon Niang, a science and technology hero, uses a mortar-like small cannon, synthesized when synthesizing equipment, equipped with several shells with different functions, the power is quite good, of course, I really want to fight some masters, it is estimated that some are enough, the power is okay, the main thing is that the ammunition is really limited, and it has to be used up after a few hits, although it can be synthesized again when upgrading equipment, it's just that materials and time are needed, At the critical moment, there was no ammunition, wouldn't it be a dry stare, Xiao Tianlei used this small cannon and ammunition mainly for research purposes and improved the existing artillery.

To say that Lingzhou's military dependence, in addition to the personal material resources of Xiao Tianlei and the Yigan brothers, some strange beasts such as Snow Ape Nunu, Steel Mane, and Wukong, that is, they rely on artillery to be in charge.

Don't look at the brotherhood to fight the court to win a few battles, none of them are hard battles, Lingzhou's army can now bully and bully the Funan people, originally, starting with Shanyue people, the foundation is not good, the original Shanyue people's living conditions are generally bad, many Shanyue people's physical development is not good, now life is good, you can make up for some, however, the body that has grown into it, it is impossible to develop again, unless it can stimulate Gangqi to become a martial artist.

Originally, there are few people in Lingzhou, and cultivating elite soldiers is almost the only choice for the Brotherhood to enhance its combat strength, except for some auxiliary arms, engineering soldiers, medical soldiers, Xiao Tianlei hopes that the regular army in Lingzhou will be completely composed of warriors, and in large-scale wars, the role of warrior soldiers is not obvious, but in small-scale battles, the role of warriors is often great, and the existence of warrior soldiers can play a great deterrent role. Some captives are being converted, but the process is slow and loyalty has to be tested.

Of course, the cost of raising such an army is also thought of hugely, and there is no shortage of martial arts, as long as the soldiers stimulate the Gang Qi, they can accept the guidance of the various methods of using the Gang Qi that have been systematized, and those who perform well can learn a series of martial arts that have evolved from the hero template according to their respective preferences and qualifications.

The difficulty of learning these martial arts is not low, and the soldiers who can learn these martial arts are undoubtedly elite soldiers who are quite outstanding in all aspects, and it is enough to be a military general. Naturally, after learning the martial arts evolved from the hero template, the configuration of weapons and equipment will also be an imitation of the weapons and equipment of the matching hero template.

Nowadays, the forging level of Wild Boar Ridge, the imitation equipment, has a very high level, although there is still a considerable gap compared to the original, it is already quite a good weapon armor, but, limited by the odd gold and success rate, the products produced are somewhat uneven, divided into several levels.

The cost of cultivating and equipping such an elite soldier is naturally expensive, however, many things cannot be measured by money, and now many Shanyue people, as long as they are full of food and drink, without a penny, still work and fight desperately, and the contributions they make can be measured by money, so Xiao Tianlei has established a set of contribution value system within the brotherhood, and the contribution value can be exchanged for some treatment, items, some better weapons, armor, etc.

Of course, at present, there are still relatively few such elite soldiers, but with the passage of time, there will be more and more, although there is no blessing of the hero template, what ordinary people can learn is mainly some more general hero template evolved martial arts, no hero template to improve the senses, reaction speed, etc., compared to Xiao Tianlei and others who have a hero template is certain. However, as long as the personnel and resources are sufficient, they can be cultivated in a steady stream, imagine that hundreds of weakened versions of the power of Demacia will perform the judgment skill at the same time, swing the storm sword, spin together, and put it on the battlefield is definitely a meat grinder.

If you rely on the current trade of the Brotherhood, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support, but fortunately, I attacked Funan and obtained a large amount of loot, Qijin and other materials.

So far, no one knows that the Brotherhood has opened up another battlefield in Funan, one is the problem of vision, for the average Daxia people, the so-called world is mainly these states in Daxia, and the other surrounding areas are barbarians, not worth paying attention to, who will pay attention to the situation in the dense forest west of Lingzhou? Second, the brotherhood's secrecy measures are doing a good job, and everyone in Lingzhou now has an identity card, not to mention those who come from other places to visit and do business, even the locals are not allowed to walk around casually, and the scope of activities is regulated.

In fact, if you are careful, you can find some clues, such as the streets of Lingzhou City There are more Funan people, but they are generally thought to be slaves bought by the Brotherhood.

It's just, who will pay attention to the lowly Funan people? There are also a lot of other Rong people, Yi people, overseas people, and people from the Western Regions, besides, Lingzhou is so lively and strange to see, the Brotherhood Art Troupe is now famous all over the world, I am afraid that the reputation of the Brotherhood is louder than the Brotherhood's reputation, many people came to Lingzhou, that is, they came to watch the performance of the Art Troupe.

Earlier, some of the policies of the Brotherhood spread through some rumors, and in the eyes of some people in other states, the Brotherhood was a group of robbers who would rob everyone of their fields and property, so they were very hostile to the Lingzhou Brotherhood. However, rumors are rumors, the truth is the truth, Yuezhou and Maozhou border Lingzhou, there are some people who go to Lingzhou to work, do business, for a long time, slowly also know some of the policies implemented by the brotherhood, for those who own land, the brotherhood is still a robber, however, for those who have no land, the brotherhood's policy is too good, according to the head of the land, the rent is not high, if you can join the brotherhood, there are new houses to live, enjoy all kinds of treatment, so some people poured into Lingzhou.
