Chapter 43 The world is changeable
It was quite convenient for Wu to wage war against Jin, and the thousands of huge ships built in eight years could quickly send large armies to Shandong, Hebei, and even the Liaodong Peninsula, the Jurchen hometown.
However, Jin Guo could only be beaten passively, exhausted and difficult to fight against the more elite Wu army.
Although Zhao Kong was worried about arousing the vigilance of the plane consciousness, he did not dare to build guns and cannons.
However, the rice is full, the daily drills are continuous, and the all-steel weapons and armor are popularized, and the combat power of the Wu army in the era of cold weapons is really not comparable to the corrupted Jin army.
In less than a year, Hebei, Shandong, Liaodong, Central Plains and other places have fallen into the hands of the Wu army.
At the same time as the military victory, Zhao Kong also held a number of imperial examinations, all of which were determined by him, all of which were biased towards pragmatic ways of governing the country.
After several imperial examinations, he really discovered a lot of talents.
Zhao Kong's self-confidence brought by his own strength, for the appointment of talents, regardless of birth, meritocracy, even the Khitan Yelu Chucai, he dared to put it in Liaodong as the governor Yin to pacify the place.
It is also because Zhao Kong's eclectic use of people that the places where the army is pacified have been quickly stabilized, and a large amount of grain has been transported from Nanyang to the north, and grain prices have fallen back to normal levels, and the lives of ordinary people have basically not been affected in any way.
"King, Luoyang and Kaifeng have been taken by our army, and you should be called emperor."
Zhao Kong stood on top of the tower of Luoyang City that he had just taken, and Deng Youlong, who was by his side, chattered and persuaded him to be the emperor.
"Don't say it anymore, the title of emperor is only deserved by the lord of the world, we have only taken one-third of the Central Plains now, and the day when the world is unified is the day I ascend the throne as emperor."
Zhao Kong waved his hand, although he was already a little impatient, he still opened his mouth to explain.
If it weren't for the fact that he could communicate with the origin of the world, according to Zhao Kong's character, he really had no interest in unifying the world, and many affairs would seriously affect his daily cultivation, and the benefits he would have obtained would not be much more.
Moreover, according to Zhao Kong's inference, the enthronement ceremony is the best time to communicate the origin of the plane, at this time, the wider the territory ruled by the new generation of emperors, the heavier the burden of people, and the more world origin can be communicated.
This is the key reason why Zhao Kong has a hard time and seriously develops his power.
"Even if the king is not the emperor now, you should also choose a princess, although everyone knows that you are a fairy and have a long life, but having a princess in the palace can also reduce many rumors"
Deng Youlong saw that Zhao Kong was unwilling to be the emperor now, so he changed the topic and persuaded him.
Since the establishment of the Kingdom of Wu, the flight of Zhao Kong's imperial sword has never been hidden.
For civil and military officials, the deterrent power of an immortal is far from comparable to that of mortal emperors, and seeing Zhao Kong flying in the air often can also make them be more cautious in doing things.
At the same time, this act of appearing in front of people also reassures the people who have left their hometowns.
Especially after the popularization of Shennong No. 1 rice, the temples dedicated to Zhao Kong have spread all over Nanyang, if it were not for Zhao Kong's deliberate control, I am afraid that Wu State has become a **** country.
In addition, Zhao Kong's appearance has never changed, and the officials of Wu State have repeatedly knocked on the side, and learned that Zhao Kong's longevity has been more than three hundred years, and it is possible that it will continue to grow.
Since then, no one in the Wu Kingdom will mention the matter of the heir again.
"Let me think about it again, choosing a concubine is not as simple as you think."
Zhao Kong is not a pure-hearted person, and the girlfriends he once talked about in Dixing can't be counted on one hand, but in order not to affect his cultivation, he can only endure this desire for the time being.
"By the way, the powerful clans in the newly occupied area, those who can migrate to the South Seas can move as much as possible, and the conditions can be more generous, and those who don't want to move will be left untouched first, and then slowly clean them up after the world is unified."
Zhao Kong looked at the huge mansions in Luoyang City, turned to Deng Youlong and said.
Because the name of Zhao Kong's immortals is well known to the world, the civil forces in the occupied area rarely choose to confront, so that the Wu army has no suitable excuse, and it is not easy to mobilize these old forces on a large scale.
But for some reasons, Zhao Kong hoped that after he returned to the Shenzhou Realm, the Wu Kingdom would still be able to survive in this realm for a long time, so these wealthy families would definitely have to deal with it again.
"The king is too worried, most of the wealthy families in various places are Jurchens, or doglegs who are attached to the Jurchens."
"Those Jurchen wealthy clans who occupy the majority of local interests and oppress the people on weekdays, we can completely enforce the relocation, and no one will complain about them."
"As for those guys who work for the tiger, they are now afraid of being liquidated by us. Besides, it is not too much for us to exchange one acre of Central Plains land for five acres of overseas land, most of the wealthy families gritted their teeth and agreed, and the rest are not to worry about. ”
Deng Youlong has been an official for many years, and his means are naturally not bad, with the support of the absolutely strong Wu army, and now it is a time of war, and it is really difficult for him to clean up these local wealthy families with a soft knife.
After allowing them to leave a clan and take care of the ancestral tombs, they could also return to the Central Plains to worship in the future, which greatly reduced the resistance.
Moreover, in recent years, the name of fertile land and abundant products in Nanyang has spread throughout the Central Plains.
can be exchanged for five times the land of Nanyang, and many small and medium-sized wealthy families are really not too repulsive.
What's more, Deng Youlong is not a dumbfounder, and a few things that are not easy to provoke, such as the Confucian family in Qufu, are naturally skipped for the time being.
"There are a lot of people in the Song Kingdom who are staring at it now, and we will scare those people if we make things too ugly, although they can't stop the footsteps of our army, but they have the ability to make a mess of the people, and it will be troublesome to clean it up."
Zhao Kong reminded with some unease that there were only more than two years left before the decay of this realm, and once he missed it, he didn't want to wait another sixty years.
……
Jinguo Xijing Datong Mansion.
As the Wu army marched all the way, the vanguard troops had already stepped into the boundary of Shanxi, which made the Jin country, which had just moved its capital, extremely frightened.
The Jin army and the Wu army have never won a frontal battle, the equipment gap between the two sides is too big, and the equipment of any soldier in the Wu army is no worse than that of the low-level generals of the Jin army.
In addition, the three Wu armies have more than 5,000 dragon elephant troops as the vanguard, Mo sword and heavy armor, infinite strength, rampage, no one can stop it, and the only way for the Jin army is to defend the city and consume.
But Wu Jun has such a bug as Zhao Kong, and this method will not work.
As long as the Jin army retreated into the city to defend it, the Wu army surrounded the city in a hurry, sent a scout horse to the rear to report, and passed the news to Zhao Kong.
As long as you wait for a few days, Zhao Kong will fly with a sword, and with a condensing slash, the city gate and even the city wall can be broken, and the golden army in the city will become a turtle in the urn.
With such an unreasonable gameplay, how can the Jin army resist the Wu army?
In a mansion in Datong Mansion, Wanyan Honglie and Yang Kang, father and son, sat opposite each other.
"Kang'er, the front line has been defeated recently, it is estimated that it will not be long before the Wu army will come to the city, what do you think?" Wanyan Honglie looked at Yang Kang and frowned and said.
Compared with Yang Kang's tragic ending in the original plot, Yang Kang has been much luckier in this life.
Because Wanyan Yongji was beheaded by Zhao Kong, the power structure of the Jin State changed greatly, and Wanyan Honglie was driven to Xijing Datong Mansion because of the failure of the power struggle.
However, misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune lurk.
Because Wanyan Honglie moved his family to Datong Mansion, Yang Tiexin did not meet Bao Xiweak, and both of them are still alive and well now, although Yang Kang has no Mu Nianci, he has no conflict with Guo Jing.
Later, because of the appointment of Jiaxing Yanyulou, Qiu Chuji told Yang Kang about the events of that year, and there was Bao Xiqiao to testify from the side, Yang Kang could only believe it if he didn't want to believe it.
However, this time Yang Kang thought that Yang Tiexin had died a long time ago, and with his scheming city, although he was extremely repulsed in his heart, he could barely do a good job of surface work.
It's just that Yang Kang was a little unimpressed with the appointment of Yanyu Building.
The reputation of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan is far inferior to that of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, and Yang Kang doesn't think that he will be able to beat a wild boy who grew up on the grassland, but under Qiu Chuji's repeated requests, he can only follow south to Jiaxing.
It's a pity that Guo Jing that Yang Kang met this time is definitely more powerful than the original plot at the same time.
Although Guo Jing has only practiced Jiuyang Divine Skill for two years, when Huang Rong passed on his exercises, he told Zhao Kong's annotations on Jiuyang Divine Skill in detail, so that he knew how to break through bottlenecks one by one.
In addition, for some reason, the compatibility between Jiuyang Divine Skill and Guo Jing is extremely high, and after two years of hard training, he actually let him cultivate to the point of approaching Dacheng.
Although Guo Jing's Jiuyang True Qi is not as deep as when Jueyuan was in Huashan, it will not be much weaker than Zhang Wuji when Kunlun Mountain first came out.
Zhiyang's Jiuyang Divine Skill, coupled with Ke Zhen's evil and fierce magic wand method, although it cannot reach the strength of the innate powerhouse, but the power of Dalian Qiu has to go around when the opportunity arises!
And because Yang Kang left Zhongdu with Wanyan Honglie, he failed to meet Mei Chaofeng to learn the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and it naturally became a tragedy to face such a perverted Guo Jing.
The suspicious life of being beaten by Guo Jing with a few sticks made Yang Kang feel embarrassed for a long time, and it was not until he returned to Xijing that he eased up and began to practice the Quanzhen exercises taught to him by Qiu Chuji.
Recently, the Wu army broke through the central capital, and the new emperor of the Jin State, Wan Yan Xun, fled to Xijing, and Yang Kang, who was practicing behind closed doors, was also found by Wan Yan Honglie, and discussed what to do next.
"Father, with Zhao Kong's demon here, Datong Mansion will definitely not be able to hold it."
Although Yang Kang has been practicing behind closed doors for the past two years, he still knows how terrifying Zhao Kong is, even if he is reluctant to be the little prince of Jin Guo, he will not run to die.
Wanyan Honglie patted Yang Kang's shoulder, sighed and said.
"Kang'er, as the sixth prince of Dajin for his father, even if he dies in battle, he can't leave Datong Mansion, but you and your mother don't need to bury me with Dajin, take your mother south tomorrow, bring more money, and take care of your mother for me in the future."
Yang Kang was taken to Jiaxing by Qiu Chuji to compete in martial arts, and it was impossible for Yan Honglie not to know, so it was normal to guess that Yang Kang had figured out his life experience.
It's just that Wanyan Honglie loves Bao Xiweak too much, and he has been licking calves for Yang Kang for more than ten years, so he doesn't care about these at all, but thinks more about the future of the two.
After listening to Yan Honglie's words, Yang Kang's heart came to his heart with all kinds of feelings.
For so many years, he knew the character of this adoptive father very well, and it was pointless to persuade them to leave together, and in the end, Yang Kang could only kowtow three times and leave without saying a word.
