The newly established Great Qi is not as good as the Great Song Dynasty, the civil and military officials are not afraid of war, the generals are busy competing for the opportunity to lead the troops, and the civil officials are also thinking about how to get involved in this matter, although the new dynasty strictly prohibits civilian officials from leading the troops, so that they have no chance to go to the battlefield, but fighting is not just a matter of the army.

Do you want the people to help transport grain and grass when you march into Western Xia? Do I take credit for managing the people well and keeping the logistics flowing? Do you need weapons to fight? Is it a credit for my efforts to develop industry and provide raw materials for your weapons? And you have to manage the land, right? If you can go to the state and county of Xinna to become an official, will it be easier to get results?

In many aspects, civil officials still have a lot to do, as for whether there will be problems in this battle, neither civil officials nor military generals do not have this idea, and now that even the Jin State has been defeated, what is the Western Xia?

Now that the army in the Central Plains has been equipped with hot weapons, and the Western Xia is still using cold weapons, how can this battle be fought? It's only a matter of time before you win.

Shen Long selected the leaders of this battle from among the generals who did not participate in the Northern Expedition last time and stayed in Tokyo, and then added the generals who were familiar with the northwest form, such as the Zhe family, the Chong family, the Yang family, the Qu family, and the Liu family, and then set up the command framework for this battle, and then let them draw up the attack plan.

When discussing the plan, Shen Long also said to these northwest generals that from now on, the imperial court will definitely retract military power, and it is obviously impossible to maintain a certain degree of independence as before, but they can be compensated financially.

After the preparations were completed, Shen Long swore an oath for them in the school field, and Lin Chong and others led the army out of the west gate and headed for Jingzhao Mansion; Hearing that the Central Plains was going to crusade against him, the small court of Western Xia was suddenly frightened.

If you put it in the past, they may not be afraid, the Western Xia has also defeated the existence of the Great Song Dynasty many times, but now they have not recovered from the damage of being defeated by Tong Guan, and they have lost the ally of Liao, how can they withstand the attack of the Central Plains? So Western Xia hurriedly sent an envoy to Tokyo to intercede.

They are willing to give up the title of emperor and pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, but since the real profit can be obtained, who cares about this false name? Shen Long told the envoy of Western Xia that unless he surrendered unconditionally, everything would be suspended, so the envoy of Western Xia could only go back in disappointment, and when he saw the mighty military appearance of the Central Plains on the way back, he knew that there were not many days left in Western Xia.

In fact, just as he expected, the army of Western Xia was about to collapse in front of Lin Chong's army, and almost no damage was caused to Lin Chong's army.

They also wanted to use the fortified city of Lingzhou to block the army, but unfortunately on how to break the city, the martial arts academy had already formulated a detailed strategy, they first suppressed the defenders at the head of the city with artillery fire, and then dug tunnels to bury a large amount of gunpowder under the city wall, only to hear a loud thunderclap, the city gate of Lingzhou flew into the sky.

The surrounding soldiers were killed and wounded innumerably, and those who were far away were also stunned by the sound of the explosion, and they had no ability to get up and fight against Lin Chong's army again, and Lingzhou City, which had repeatedly resisted the Song army, was broken like this.

When Lin Chong's army arrived at Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, the defenders in the city simply gave up resistance after hearing the news of Lingzhou, and they couldn't defend it anyway, so why bother to give their lives? So the defenders in the city directly asked for surrender, and the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun surrendered by himself, and the Western Xia became history nearly a hundred years in advance.

After taking the Western Xia, the army rested for a while, and continued to march along the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions, with the captured Western Xia army as the vanguard to crusade against the Western Regions, invincible along the way, and soon recovered the location of the Guiyi army, and searched for Zhang Yichao's descendants in the local area to reward them for their ancestral achievements.

Subsequently, the army continued to march westward, until it reached the limit of logistics and supply, and Lin Chong's name shocked the Western Regions, which could stop children's night crying.

Shen Long immediately issued an order to stop the army's westward march for the time being, and re-established the Western Regions Protectorate during the Han and Tang Dynasties, and canonized Lin Chong as the first Western Regions Protector of the Great Qi, so that he could continue to stay in the Western Regions to guard, restrain all the departments in the territory, and defend against attacks from the West, investigate the news, and prepare for the continued westward expansion in the future.

On the land, the Western Regions Protectorate was restored, and on the ocean, the sailors were not to be outdone, Li Jun once again crusaded against Jiaozhi, directly took Jiaozhi, and restored Jiaozhi County, which became the territory of the Central Plains with three crops a year.

This has become a place for Shen Long to reward meritorious heroes, dividing plantations in the local area to reward those civil and military officials, so that they can also get the dividends of outward expansion, and after they receive the gold and silver sent back by those plantations, compared to the next time to expand outward, these people will not have an opinion, right?

Now the Jin Kingdom, Western Xia and Jiaozhi around the Central Plains have been destroyed one after another, which frightened the surrounding small countries and submitted them one after another; In the southwest, Duan Zhengyan, the current king of Dali, that is, the son of Duan Zhengchun, was oppressed by domestic ministers, and he was indignant for a while, and asked Shen Long for help.

When he received the fold, Shen Long pondered it carefully, I don't know if this is Duan Yu? Will he be able to do the Northern Spiritual Skill, Ling Bo Weibu and the Six Veins Divine Sword?

The officials in the court were not as cranky as Shen Long, they had gained a lot of benefits from the army's expedition to the east and west, and they were now thinking about where to march, as soon as they saw this letter, isn't this the reason for sending it to the door? Then quickly agitated to send troops.

Now the northwest is temporarily stable, and the army has the spare strength to attack the southwest, so the army went out again, crossed the mountains and entered the territory of Dali, and brought Dali into the rule of the Central Plains.

As for Duan Yu.....Oh no, it was Duan Zhengyan who was sent to Bianliang, Tokyo, and went to be neighbors with Zhao Gou, hoping that they could get along happily in the future."

By this time, the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty had finally recovered its glory in the Han and Tang dynasties, and the people swept away the shame of being bullied by foreign races for many years, and became as proud as the people in the Han and Tang dynasties.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, and that he had stayed a little longer at this time, Shen Long chose to return for the time being and returned to his home in the capital.

Lying on the bed and waiting for the memory to be digested slowly, turning on the light and looking at the familiar layout in the room, Shen Long had a smile on his face, presumably this ending must make Lu Junyi very satisfied, right?

I just don't know what reward Lu Junyi will give himself? Shen Long opened the system in his mind, and then heard the content of the reward.
