Chapter 23: Expanding Power
Under the narration of several 'heroes', Li Xiaoye learned about the dragon slaying knife competition, and probably knew the current form of rivers and lakes, in fact, there is not much difference from the TV series.
On the one hand, the six major factions on the rivers and lakes, led by Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong, and Huashan, competed with the Mingjiao from Persia. On the other hand, the Ming Sect also continued to support the rebel armies from all walks of life to compete with the imperial court. The various grievances and hatreds that have evolved from the contradictions and confrontations between different forces are the Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
After defeating the British boxing champion in Ip Man last time, he inadvertently obtained 3W merit points, and Li Xiaoye guessed that the origin of merit points may be that he needs to do great things that benefit the country and the people. Heaven and Dragon Slayer just provides such an environment, and if you can overthrow the tyranny, you should be able to gain a certain number of merit points.
Because the time difference between the real world and the martial arts world needs to be smoothed out by merit points, otherwise, the martial arts world has passed for decades, and the real world has passed a few years according to the time flow rate of 1:7, so it would be too embarrassing to go back, Alice is still waiting for herself at home, and the country also needs herself. If you disappear for a few years for no reason, it will inevitably attract the attention of many people.
Alas, even if there is a cheat, you can't be a salted fish quietly.
After bidding farewell to those heroes, Li Xiaoye returned to Mingjiao Suzhou to divide the rudder. Thinking about how to fight the world. For a time-traveler who is well versed in history, it is actually not difficult.
The first method is to let the world plot develop according to the original work, and in the end, the world will be obtained by Zhu Yuanzhang. Li Xiaoye only needs to join Zhu Yuanzhang's command, fight the world with him, and seize the fruits of Zhu Yuanzhang's victory when Zhu Yuanzhang wants to be the emperor.
However, Li Xiaoye disdains it, after all, the real founding emperor in history, which one is not an upright man who fights the world? Li Xiaoye also didn't want the history books of this world to give him the name of a villain in the future, because the first method would not be considered.
The second is to win the position of the leader of the Ming Sect by himself, and then fight all the way to the world, defeat Yuanmeng and all the princes and then become the emperor. Li Xiaoye will naturally choose the second path, he wants to win the dignity!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoye decided to cultivate his own forces first. So he called Zhang Sheng, the deputy helmsman of the Suzhou rudder. Zhang Sheng is a native of Suzhou, chased by robbers in the past, and later rescued by Li Xiaoye, so he joined the Ming Sect and put himself under the command of Li Xiaoye, although the martial arts are ordinary, but he is loyal to Li Xiaoye, the two of them were born and died for a long time, and Zhang Sheng was able to sit on the helm master and Li Xiaoye's support is indispensable. Therefore, the first thing Li Xiaoye thought of when cultivating his own power was Zhang Sheng.
"Zhang Sheng, what do you think of the general trend in the world?" Li Xiaoye called Zhang Sheng and looked at him with a smile.
"Helmsman, my subordinates really don't know much about this." Zhang Sheng felt a little surprised, and didn't know what Li Xiaoye meant by asking him this question at this moment.
"It's okay, Zhang Sheng, tell me your own opinion, just say whatever you want."
"Yes, helmsman. In my opinion, the Yuan and Mongolia were brutal, and we Han people should rise up to resist. However, despite the fact that Yuanmeng was powerful, even if the rebel army had the support of this religion, it was difficult to succeed. Therefore we should now recuperate and wait for the right time, and when the time is right for us, we can organize another uprising, and then it will be done. ”
"Well, that's true, that's what I mean, but there's one more question I want to ask you, when do you think the right time is the right time?"
"My subordinates don't know about this, so I ask the helmsman to make it clear." Zhang Sheng's brain is not very stupid, but it is not smart either. I really can't tell when it's when.
"After watching the stars at night, I came to the conclusion that in 20 years it would be a good time for an uprising." Li Xiaoye put on a look of being a master in the world, and directly gave an answer.
Zhang Sheng was stunned all of a sudden, and he really couldn't understand why the helmsman was sure that 20 years later would be a good time for an uprising. And just by stargazing at night, isn't this a trick used by charlatans? However, the boss is the boss after all, and Zhang Sheng will not refute it directly.
When Li Xiaoye saw Zhang Sheng's appearance, he knew in his heart that he didn't believe it, so he said mysteriously: "Actually, I dreamed of an immortal last night, and it was the immortal who told me, and also told me that it was our Mingjiao who would destroy the Yuan Dynasty in the future. ”
"Is this true, helmsman?" At that time, people still believed in gods and Buddhas. And especially the Mingjiao with faith, it is extremely confident in immortals, and it will not use immortals to see jokes. After seeing Li Xiaoye's serious expression, Zhang Sheng inadvertently believed three points.
"Of course it's true, and the immortals also left me a lot of gold and silver to help our Mingjiao expel Yuanmeng and restore China." Li Xiaoye's face was solemn, and those who were familiar with Li Xiaoye naturally knew that Li Xiaoye had begun to fool people again.
In order to make Zhang Sheng believe all this even more, Li Xiaoye smiled mysteriously, took out some gold bricks from the merit bag, and put them on the table.
"This ...... Helmsman, how did you do that? ”
Seeing that Li Xiaoye could take out the gold bricks out of thin air, Zhang Sheng was really a little shocked, he couldn't understand how Li Xiaoye did it, and for the first time he felt that his boss had become so mysterious.
Although it is still the same Li Xiaoye as before, it seems that something has become different. Could it be that the helmsman was really accepted as a disciple by the immortals? Otherwise, how could this Sumeru technique?
"Zhang Sheng, you are your own brother, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I have already been accepted as a disciple by the immortals. The technique of Sumeru just now was taught to me by the immortals. The immortals came from the fairy world and found that the land of China was ruled by Yuanmeng and was in chaos, so they took me as a disciple and wanted me to lead the people of Huaxia to expel Yuanmeng and restore China. Zhang Sheng, are you willing to fight with me for the righteousness of the nation? ”
As soon as he heard that he was fighting for the great righteousness of the nation, Zhang Sheng only felt that the blood in his whole body was about to burn, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Helmsman, my subordinates are willing." Our subordinates are willing to fight for our national righteousness, and we are bound to expel Yuan and Mongolia and restore China. ”
"Okay, Zhang Sheng, in the future, after we defeat Yuanmeng and establish a country belonging to our Han people, you will be the founding general, your wife and son, and your ancestors."
"Thank you, helmsman!" Zhang Sheng raised his head, the expression on his face was incomprehensible with excitement, and his heart was also hot, what a lofty ideal is to fight for the great righteousness of the nation? can also seal the shadow of his wife and son, and glorify his ancestors. I made up my mind to fight for a great cause with the helmsman.
Looking at Zhang Sheng's excited expression, Li Xiaoye couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Or are people so foolish now, people in the 21st century are shrewd like ghosts, just shouting slogans and no one is birding you, they all look at practical interests, and how many people can really make unremitting efforts for the interests of the nation wholeheartedly?
got his deputy, so Li Xiaoye ordered Zhang Sheng to take the gold to quietly hoard soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and at the same time recruit homeless homeless people and orphans to teach martial arts. In addition, a special course for political education has been set up, and the ideological education system for the military in China has been moved here. Let the soldiers under your command understand what they are fighting for.
They fought not for food, nor for money, but for their country, their people, and for the happy life of the people.
And the army trained in this way is not only very combative, but also very loyal, and will not easily rebel. Because a soldier with ideals is not the same as a soldier who joins the army to survive.
The troops who are just trying to make ends meet will be leaderless because the Lord will be killed, and they will put down their weapons and surrender when they are at a disadvantage. The army with ideals and beliefs is different, they shoulder a sacred mission, they will fight to the end, persevere, and will not surrender and mutiny under any circumstances.
In this way, 8 years have passed, and Li Xiaoye is training his mind on the one hand, and hoarding soldiers, horses, grain and grass on the other hand, training the army.
Now Li Xiaoye's mind can easily grab more than ten tons of heavy objects, ordinary boulders, and houses are no longer a problem. And his army has now begun to take shape, hoarding 3W soldiers and horses in the deep mountains outside Suzhou. Just wait for the world to be in turmoil, you can take advantage of the situation.
The current Han people's dissatisfaction with Yuanmeng has not yet reached its peak, and Yuanmeng's soldiers and horses have not completely indulged in comfort and lost their combat effectiveness. Now is not the best time for an uprising.
Li Xiaoye calculated the time, Zhang Cuishan and his wife should return to the Central Plains soon, and it was time for him to get the Jiuyang Divine Skill. The plot of Heaven and Dragon Slayer is about to officially kick off.
