Chapter 318: Preparing for the Crusade
In the minds of many people, if a person ascends to the throne, not to mention the others, there will definitely be a big change in their hearts.
Yuan Hao also thought so earlier, but when he really ascended the throne, he found that whether he became the emperor or not had little impact on him. The emperor is only a temporary identity for himself, a profession, he is still himself, he is still the traveler who travels the heavens.
"Hmm...... It seems that there is really nothing to be thankful for. Returning to the palace, sitting on the original throne of the Supreme, stroking the golden dragon head armrests on both sides, feeling the hardness and coldness coming from above, Yuan Hao lowered his head and muttered boredly.
"Of course, there is nothing to be thankful about.
If you want to talk about enjoyment, will you miss the ancient aristocracy after you have tasted the convenience of modern and even future technology? Because of the low productivity, the set of nobles may not be more convenient than that of the people of later generations;
As for power, you already control most of the world, and you yourself are already at the pinnacle of power;
If you are a god, the supreme ruler of a world, there is no god who knows where the noble sword has gone.
Once the sea was difficult to water...... You already have more than the emperor, how can you be excited about being the emperor? This is the same reason that a billionaire is not excited to pick up a thousand dollars. When there was no one around, the childish voice of the fairy in the boat sounded in Yuan Hao's head.
She was right, and Yuan Hao was a little speechless.
No matter what the mood is, becoming an emperor is a fact after all, since Yuan Hao is in this position, then he has to bear the safety and rise and fall of this country.
To be honest, the impact of the godless invasion on Shenzhou was not as great as imagined. Because absolutely Wushen is taking the high-end route, and it is a conspiracy, he hopes to be able to take over the Jiangshan Sheji by controlling the emperor - such an idea is really a bit naΓ―ve in Yuan Hao's opinion.
It's just that he did it naively, so that the impact on the whole world in the whole process of his conspiracy execution and destruction is not so obvious.
Even the people in the capital only heard about such a thing, and more people only knew that there was something wrong with Lin Yuan, and there seemed to be something wrong with the emperor's original Zen ceremony, and that's all. More people in the world, more people in the world are unaware of this, and they simply know that their world is almost "destroyed" in someone's conspiracy.
Because the movement caused was so small, Yuan Hao did not need to spend a lot of effort to deal with the post-war trauma caused by the invasion.
After taking control of the royal family's territory and basically unifying the world, Yuan Hao only ordered someone to organize a capable team to secretly search for the remnants of the Absolute Divine Palace hidden deep in Middle-earth. Yuan Hao believed that since no god dared to invade Middle-earth, then he must have his own eyes and ears in Middle-earth. These traitors who dared to spy on the intelligence of Middle-earth for outsiders, Yuan Hao naturally planned to dig them out and concoct them well, and then prepare for his next counterattack.
Come and don't be rude!
Since your Wa Kingdom has ambitions for my Middle-earth, then I Middle-earth naturally have to teach them a good lesson, including the Emperor!
Not to mention that the emperor of the Wa Kingdom was also an enemy of the Absolute Shrine, and they were also persecuted by the Absolute Shrine, as long as he was a native of the Wa Kingdom and the ruler of the Wa Kingdom, then he had to bear the suffering of the Japanese Kingdom suffering from the retribution of Middle-earth. Of course, he could have avoided this retribution, but the requirement to avoid retribution was for the emperor to abdicate.
"The Wa Kingdom is just a small state, and it dares to call itself the emperor. Our emperor is called the Son of Heaven, and their king is called the Emperor, so aren't we going to be a head shorter than them......? Are you willing to accept such contempt?" At the first early dynasty meeting of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Hao excitedly questioned his subordinates.
"Accept? How can this be accepted!" Hearing that they were going to subjugate themselves to the Wa Kingdom, the ministers and generals above the court shook their heads one after another.
Fengyun World is a world of high martial arts, and most of the people here have a hand of martial arts, no matter whether their martial arts are high or low, they also have the majestic spirit that a warrior should have. Warriors often share a name with an opponent, and when it rises to the level of a country, they are also unwilling to let the Japanese people stand on top of them.
Striving for the first place, the mentality of the great people makes them have such a heart.
And this mentality of daring to fight for the first place made Yuan Hao's next mobilization much easier.
Yuan Hao just publicized it like this, and he succeeded in arousing the anger of these people in the court against the emperor.
"Since you hate the Japanese people so much, then we will kill the Japanese and destroy them completely...... What do you think? There is no need to dare to invade our country. Yuan Hao said coldly.
"That's exactly how it should be!"
"Conquer the Japanese Kingdom!"
"The widow should be punished for his crime!"
As soon as Yuan Hao's words came out, he aroused the approval of a vote of people, as a citizen of the high-martial world, no one babbled about the words that the soldiers were fierce, the saints could not use them, and the king should not be angry and raise troops.
The Japanese people have already bullied themselves, so they naturally have to take revenge fiercely.
At that moment, someone asked Yuan Hao: "How many soldiers and horses does Your Majesty want to raise, and how many masters do you want to bring?"
"I am going to bring the heads of the eight major factions and the masters who originally belonged to the Zhutian Mountain Villa, and send 100,000 troops! The day of the expedition is set for March next year, when the spring flowers are blooming and the south wind is strong, just in time to cross the sea by boat to wipe out the Japanese country. Yuan Hao thought about it and put forward his own decision.
"Is 100,000 enough?" The ministers in the court were still worried that 100,000 troops were not enough.
"That's enough! You must know that this time the godless army led the army to invade the east, and most of the power of his godless palace has been brought out...... There is not enough left for our army to attack. Moreover, when the time comes to send troops next year, our new warships will also be built, and when the time comes, with the assistance of new warships, the Japanese country will be vulnerable. Yuan Hao said very confidently.
"That's good......" The ministers finally relented.
They did not hesitate to give Yuan Hao's crusade order.
Under Yuan Hao's orders, they began to prepare grain, grass and supplies according to the size of 100,000 troops, and began to mobilize warships to prepare for dispatch.
As for Yuan Hao himself, he wrote a handwritten letter and sent people to the heads of the eight major factions in the rivers and lakes and those masters of the rivers and lakes who had fallen into the hands of the gods, inviting them to join him in the crusade against the Japanese state.
"Don't you want to take revenge on the Japanese people?" Yuan Hao asked them, "if you want, then come with me." β
Without too many sensational words, Yuan Hao put forward his invitation so bluntly. Because he knew that all the things that the gods had done after they had captured them were enough to arouse the anger of those martial arts people in the Central Plains - with the humility of the people of the Wa Kingdom, what good things would they do.
Yuan Hao didn't have a detailed understanding of what happened to these martial arts people, but he also heard about it occasionally. It's like a purgatory-like day, this is definitely the best description of the days when these martial arts masters were captured after the godless invasion of Middle-earth.
Under such circumstances, they would naturally be angry at the godlessness and even the Japanese people.
As soon as Yuan Hao's handwritten letter came out, someone quickly replied to respond, and as the days passed, more and more people responded from all over the world, and some of them were unexpected by Yuan Hao.
For example, this middle-aged man who looks sparse and wears a green cloth robe looks a little sluggish.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to come!" Seeing that the middle-aged man Yuan Hao's face was full of jealousy, he felt his extraordinaryness from the fierce sword aura hidden in his body: "This person is by no means as harmless as he imagined. β
This is also a fact, after all, people are martial arts myths.
When he was young, he single-handedly subdued the eight major factions, making the Central Plains martial arts wail. Later, for the first time the gods invaded the east, he was stationed at Shanhaiguan with a single sword, and stopped the invasion of the gods - although this was a kind of atonement for the "absurd" behavior of the past, but it was such a feat of atonement that was already a myth in the eyes of people at the time.
Do what ordinary people can't do, and the nameless real fame spreads far and wide.
But he provoked so many enemies that his beloved wife died in someone's machination. For this reason, Nameless was disheartened, and he faked his death to retire from the rivers and lakes, opened a small restaurant in a small village, and lived a dull and stable life.
Decades of lonely life, as well as self-cultivation after incognito, made him basically lose the edge of his former years. Although after a series of changes, his martial arts seem to be higher than at the beginning, but this high level still does not change his personality that has become a certain pedantic, just like he disliked Yuan Hao's methods in his interaction with Yuan Hao.
People say that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change, but Nameless seems to violate this law, and has changed his personality and behavior mode alive.
This made Yuan Hao feel very troublesome. To be honest, Yuan Hao is quite satisfied with such a big master as Nameless and willing to follow the rules. It's just that satisfaction is satisfied, and he has to face Nameless's disgust with his ambitions, and his disregard for his courtesy to him.
The hot face is attached to the cold buttocks, and Yuan Hao feels this way more or less now. For such a nameless, Yuan Hao is holding the abacus of respectful and staying, he thought that after leaving the capital, Nameless would continue to live his ordinary life, and he would not have anything to do with himself - he was not a person who did so much, and he would not offend him.
This time, he gathered people and wanted to go to the country to destroy the family and the country, but he never thought that he would come without a name, and the letters sent to him were only a cutscene to show that he treated them equally, but he didn't want him to come, which made Yuan Hao feel a little strange.
"I don't know what your revenge is in mind. It's just that when the time is for retribution, I can't stop your will, but I will monitor your actions, and I don't want to see the killing go too far!"
It's just that he spoke like this, but Yuan Hao was a little uncomfortable to listen to.
Revenge on the Japanese people, is this considered killing?
It's just a few brutes, thinking about how many sins these Japanese people committed in the history known to Yuan Hao, and they are all insulting brutes when they are described as brutes......
Yuan Hao didn't think there was anything wrong with these people who drove out the extermination. Although the world is different and the era is different, Yuan Hao's anger against these Japanese people has never been extinguished. He saw from the godless invasion of the East and the actions of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom that the Wa Kingdom of this world still had great ambitions for Middle-earth.
For this ambition, they will carry out a series of conspiracies, in short, hoping that Middle-earth will weaken, and preferably for generations to come, and then be wiped out by them in one fell swoop.
"Wolf ambition...... It's really a wolf ambition!" Yuan Hao thought resentfully, and at the same time swore in his heart: "I can't change the existing history, and now that I'm here, I must change what hasn't happened." Since the Japanese people have not yet worn out their ambitions, let them go to destruction with such ambitions. I'm going to kill them before they even do it. β
It was with this thought in mind that Yuan Hao decided to go to the Wa Kingdom to kill the careerists of the Wa Kingdom and the emperor who claimed to be a god. This is the battle of destroying the country, Yuan Hao is determined to teach these Japanese people a painful lesson, and it is best to follow him to the Japanese country in his plan to be those men who are bold and full of enthusiasm and are easily excited, at least those who will turn a blind eye to some of their own outrageous behaviors.
And it's boring to let guys like and Nameless go with them. Yuan Hao didn't like this. It's just that the person who wants to go is nameless!
This is a master who is much stronger than himself, how can he reject him because of his troubles, and then completely offend him because of it?
It was out of the idea of befriending Nameless, and even considering that he might encounter those hidden masters of the Wa Kingdom when he went to the Wa Kingdom, and he might have to borrow Nameless power, so Yuan Hao finally agreed to Nameless's request and agreed that he would go to the Wa Kingdom with him.
The days passed little by little in such preparations.
In order to control the place in Guanzhong, where the capital is located, and the place where he recently got Bashu, Yuan Hao let the main base prepare two sets of production lines to develop sub-bases, and set up corresponding bases in Zhongnan Mountain in Guanzhong and Emei Mountain in Shuzhong, and control the place by continuously producing various terminators that meet the needs.
This is also a matter of no choice, Yuan Hao's time in this world is still too short, and although the foundation he has set is huge, the foundation is still too shallow. As far as the means by which he controls the localities, the system is a good system, but the talents needed - administrators are also very large.
It will undoubtedly take a lot of time for these administrators and all kinds of talents for Yuan Hao to cultivate by himself, and Yuan Hao has no choice but to borrow the Terminators to change all this.
Of course, this is only a temporary action, and only when the talents cultivated by Yuan Hao come out of the mountain, then these terminators will also abdicate one by one and give up the stage to those real humans. Although this kind of behavior is somewhat suspicious of killing donkeys for those terminators, Yuan Hao thinks that those terminators will not care.
Anyway, Yuan Hao just took them into the base and temporarily stopped their functions so that they could get a good night's sleep. It's nothing to them.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the territory controlled by Yuan Hao has generally shown a thriving appearance after experiencing some chaos caused by the initial transfer of power, especially in Jiangdong and North China, which were controlled by Yuan Hao very early, and there is already a little prosperity. Yuan Hao was naturally satisfied with this.
The prosperity of the territory means that Yuan Hao can mobilize more resources, and the more he can support the army to conquer abroad. At the end of February, Yuan Hao took a group of masters from the capital to Dengzhou Port in Shandong.
This time, the army of the Eastern Expedition to the Wa Kingdom will be assembled there, and then take a warship to the Wa Kingdom. At this time, the war preparations of the Ming Dynasty have been perfected, and everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. And the east wind is approaching because of the arrival of Yuan Hao.
