Chapter Forty-Nine: The Unification of the World
After the 200,000 most elite soldiers and horses were wiped out, there was a riot in Western Xia.
The emperor and most of the civil and military officials did not know whether they were alive or dead, and before the Wu army entered the Western Xia, the major tribes in the Western Xia first fought each other, competing for territory, population, and property.
And the Wu army, which had just taken all the territory of the Jin State, did not stop fighting and recuperate as the Western Xia people thought.
On the contrary, he took advantage of the civil strife in Western Xia non-stop to gather troops to the west again.
In less than half a month, 80,000 Wu troops broke through Zhongxing Mansion and captured and killed all the remaining Xia officials and nobles in the city.
It's not that Zhao Kong is cruel and easy to kill, but that these people's hatred of the Han people even exceeds that of the Jurchens of the Jin State.
If we don't take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the country, these party nobles who have lost power will make a big mess sooner or later.
At this point, he has been out of the land of the five states of Dingjiao for more than a hundred years, and has returned to the Central Plains Dynasty again!
Although the territory of the two countries in Jinxia needs time to be sorted out slowly, Wu can be regarded as completely taking the entire north.
The news of the fall of Western Xia reached the territory of the Southern Song Kingdom a week later.
Zhao Kuo immediately summoned more than a dozen important ministers to discuss countermeasures in the Daqing Palace.
"King Wu has unified the north so quickly, how do you Aiqing think to deal with it."
Zhao Kuo's current mood is really mixed, when he canonized Zhao Kong as the king of Wu, there were still many people in the court who secretly opposed it, and in the end, he tried his best to block it.
In order to make Zhao Kong and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military both recognize this throne, he even did not hesitate to lower his seniority, announcing Zhao Kong, who was younger than him, as his uncle, and wanted to use Zhao Kong's power to kill the emperor to make the Jin State jealous.
But now Zhao Kong has unified the entire north and fulfilled the long-cherished wish that more than ten generations of emperors of the Zhao family have not been able to fulfill since Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, Wu still has a large number of overseas territories, and only by taking the Song State in the south can all the lands be connected, Zhao Kuo does not think that Zhao Kong will show mercy.
In other words, no emperor will show mercy to such a thing as unifying the world.
But if you want to give away the splendid rivers and mountains handed down by your ancestors, even if Zhao Kuo is cowardly, he will not feel good in his heart, and he asked in a stiff tone.
"After the destruction of the Jin Kingdom of Wu and the rapid destruction of the Western Xia, do you want me to be the king of the fallen country?"
There was silence in the Daqing Palace, after all, it had been a while since Wu Jun took the Jin Kingdom, and everyone present had considered this issue, but no one could say anything about the result.
Most of the officialdom of Wu State were officials of the former Song State, and Zhao Kong was also from the Zhao family of Zhuo County like the royal family.
Therefore, the government and the opposition of the Song State did not have much sense of rejection of the Wu State.
And everyone knew that the Song State would not be able to resist the southward movement of the Wu army at all, let alone deal with the god-like Wu King Zhao Kong.
Coupled with the hard bones of the main battle faction in the DPRK and China, almost all of them went to Wu State.
The rest of these lords and faction officials, there is really no one who wants to stand up and speak.
Zhao Kuo looked at the ministers who were pretending to be deaf and dumb, and he was sad for a while, and said dejectedly.
"Alas, Xue Qing, you go to Luoyang and ask King Wu, can the old practice of Song and Jin be continued between Song and Wu, if King Wu agrees, it is best, if not, not allowed...... Well, then you can watch and talk. ”
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he hid his face and left the Daqing Palace, and the ministers in the palace also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the emperor does not take the lead in stumbling, then their surrender will not leave much infamy.
Wu is not a foreigner, just like the late Sui and early Tang Dynasty, so many Sui Dynasty officials descended to the Tang Dynasty, and no one was scolded for this.
And wherever the officials are, they are all in charge, and after Wu took Jiangnan, they didn't have to rely on them to govern.
Even if most of the Wu court were the original political enemies, they didn't believe that Zhao Kong had been the king of Wu for so many years, didn't he understand the word balance?
What they expect even more is that Wu Guo will also give knighthoods to meritorious civil officials.
The officials of the Song State who they were familiar with alone, after several defected to Zhao Kong, they mixed up a fiefdom in Nanyang that produced amazing grain.
Some high-ranking officials of Wu State, whose relationship is not too stiff, privately used their connections to get a lot of displaced people in their fiefdoms.
Zhao Kong also turned a blind eye to this, there were few Han people in Nanyang, they had the ability to get over, and Zhao Kong had no reason to object.
Therefore, although the Nanyang Islands are remote, the land that can produce a lot of food is good land.
Moreover, staying away from the Central Plains also has the advantage of staying away from the Central Plains, which can not only reduce the suspicion of the monarch, but also not be affected by the change of dynasties in the Central Plains.
Even if the state of Wu is destroyed in the future, as long as they don't dance too happily, the new dynasty will not make a big fuss about such a distant place.
Having such a rich fief has been passed down from generation to generation can not only ensure the stability of the family for hundreds of years, but also bring a lot of income to oneself.
Even the fiefdom of civil officials is not as exaggerated as that of a military general with one person and one island.
But since the Qin Dynasty, when have civil officials ever been able to get the real fiefdom?
Such a huge temptation made the ministers of the Song State eager to run to Luoyang immediately and hug Zhao Kong's thighs fiercely.
……
Zhao Kong was quite surprised by the acquaintance of the Song Dynasty, and originally thought that at least one battle would have to be fought to let them see the strength of the Wu army, so that they could take the south.
But he didn't expect Zhao Kuo to be so easy to speak, and directly sent Xue Ji to discuss the surrender.
Of course, Zhao Kong didn't know that Zhao Kuo still wanted to follow the old example of Song Jin.
It's just that Xue Ji, a capitulation cadre, simply sold Zhao Kuo neatly, and when he came up, he opened his hole cards as his own qualifications.
Although Zhao Kong looked down on the group of soft-boned officials of the Song State.
But it can reduce some losses in the Central Plains, and it will be closed by pinching your nose.
It's a big deal to wait for the world to settle down, send these guys to Australia to reclaim the wilderness!
"Well, Xue Qing can promote the peaceful reunification of the north and the south, and he can be crowned a marquis! When the world is settled, this king will arrange a feudal land with a mild climate and beautiful scenery for you. ”
Zhao Kong said to Xue Ji with a smile on his face, but he was wondering in his heart, should he throw the whole family of this goods to Africa or the Americas, or some small island deep in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean?
Forget about Antarctica, the ice-breaking ability of the Galen ship is too poor, and I am afraid that there will be no return if I go there.
I heard that this guy is known as the head of the four woods and the three murderers, and he thinks he has some skills.
He should be able to take his people with him and live in those truly savage places.
"King Xie Wu...... No, thank you for your grace! The minister swore to serve Dawu to the death! ”
Xue Ji was overjoyed and knocked to the ground, such a generous reward made him become Zhao Kong's loyal dog in an instant.
"As for Zhao Kuo, how to say that he is also of the same clan, this king will draw a huge island for him in the South Seas, about half the size of Dali country, the land is fertile, and it can support tens of millions of people, so as to serve the temple of Song Guozong."
"Anyone in the Central Plains who wants to follow him can move their families to this island."
"Of course, if he doesn't want to travel far, he can also be a hereditary county king in the Central Plains."
Although Zhao Kong was a little disdainful of Xue Ji's flattery, he still explained everything.
There are still three points of nails in the rotten ship, and the Song Kingdom has been raising soldiers for hundreds of years, how can there be no loyal ministers at all?
Rather than leaving these people in the country to make trouble, it is better to send them all to New Zealand, where no one is around.
Let these loyal ministers of the Song State spend their whole lives turning the wilderness into Han land.
More than half a month later, Xue Ji, who returned to the Song State, in order to let more officials assist him, complete the unification of the north and the south as soon as possible, and get the throne and fief promised by Zhao Kong.
Xue Ji completely ignored the infamy of the history books and directly revealed Zhao Kong's reward.
His move made the officialdom of the Song State explode from top to bottom, and almost all the civil and military officials were guilty of pink eye.
Even the few loyal officials knew that the tide was unstoppable.
Moreover, the Zen position conditions given by Zhao Kong are already extremely generous.
It really takes care of the feelings of the same race, otherwise how many of the kings of the dead country can have a good end?
A large number of officials, like Xue Ji, gave up their faces and gathered in groups in front of the Daqing Palace.
asked Zhao Kuo to give Zhao Kong, the "Holy Monarch of the Ages", for the sake of the people of the world and the people of Li, to hurry up and give the Zen position to Zhao Kong, the "Holy Monarch of the Ages".
With the assistance of so many leading parties, the people are widely spread because of Zhao Kong's name as an immortal.
In just three months, the Song State was merged into the Wu State in a state of unhappiness.
At the beginning of April, Zhao Kong used magic to transform the Youtian Yin Yuan Knife into a hundred zhang black dragon.
Although it was only an illusion on the surface, when he flew into Lin'an City, it still shocked the Song government and the opposition.
Zhao Kuo, who was still a little depressed, completely accepted his fate after a long sigh.
The next day, Zhao Kong stood on the high platform of the Daqing Palace, and the moment he took over the jade seal from Zhao Kuo, the Central Plains, which had been divided for hundreds of years since the end of the Tang Dynasty, was finally unified again!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The ministers in the hall fell to the ground one after another, including Zhao Kuo, who had just been on the Zen throne, and they also forcibly suppressed their complicated and indescribable feelings, and shouted long live to Zhao Kongshan together.
Even if Zhao Kong's power heart is not heavy, he is a little excited at this moment.
It's a pity that he hasn't reached the decay of this realm, and Zhao Kong hasn't broken through the ninth layer of Yuqing.
In order to increase the probability of stealing the origin of the world, Zhao Kong still endured the desire to show off.
Under the pretext that the day of heavenly fortune, which occurs once in 10,000 years, will come in two years, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and becoming the emperor was postponed.
Therefore, this Zen ceremony was only briefly organized in the Daqing Palace.
Fortunately, the whole world knows that he is a man among the immortals, and no one will question his words in terms of metaphysics.
Even a few masters who are proficient in this way can only doubt that they are not at home.
But even if it's just a simple Zen throne ceremony.
The moment Zhao Kong took the jade seal, he also faintly felt a trace of something that could not be seen or touched, and suddenly had some kind of connection with him, wrapped around his body.
Although it was difficult to observe further, Zhao Kong judged from many materials in the Shenzhou Realm that it should be nothing more than something like the personality of the Son of Heaven and the power of the Emperor's Dao.
It's just that Zhao Kong doesn't cultivate the path of holy virtue, and he can't cultivate the general environment like the Shenzhou realm.
Even the Red Emperor Yang Tianyi, who almost dominated the world, did not dare to cultivate the path of holy virtue.
Because whoever walks on this path is almost destined to stand on the opposite side of all the powerhouses in this plane.
So although this kind of thing is wonderful, it will do more harm than good to Zhao Kong, who is destined to go back.
The only good thing is that if Zhao Kong worships the heavens at this moment, he will be able to communicate with the origin of the world immediately.
Combined with the actual situation, Zhao Kong also roughly guessed.
The reason why the Emperor of this realm was able to communicate with the origin of the world was, in the final analysis, only the ability brought by the creation of a special personality.
is similar to the human emperor of some worlds, even if he has never cultivated, but as long as he ascends to the throne of God, no one can get close to the immortals, Buddhas, gods and ghosts, and he has some ability to speak the law.
It's just that the Condor World is insufficient, and the weakened version of the human throne has little practical effect.
However, regardless of whether this realm is strong or weak, some of the basic characteristics of the human throne will not change.
For example, the territory, population, and popular sentiment of the people will affect the weight of the person's throne.
If he could further expand the territory of the Wu Kingdom, he would definitely be able to communicate with more World Origins.
