For ordinary people, a hundred years is a lifetime. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If you put it more strictly, many people don't live as long as 100 years old. Seventy years, sixty years, or even less, that is, the life of an ordinary person. The reason why the monks are desperately cultivating to increase their cultivation and keep advancing their ranks is to increase their lifespan. Of course, they spend more time on cultivation. A few decades seemed to the monk to be just a snap of his fingers. This is the case with Guiyuan Sect, and the same is true with Taiyi Palace.

However, the manifestation of time in ordinary people is even more obvious.

Ten years ago, Yang Tianhong was just an ordinary person who had been stripped of his title.

Ten years later, he has regained his position of courage and courage by virtue of his military exploits.

Judging from the continuation and progress of things, the cultivation world is almost equivalent to stillness. Don't say decades, even if it's a few hundred years, I'm afraid it won't change much. The ordinary world, however, is quite different. If the timing is right, it only takes a few years to make a big difference in the world. In the words of another world, it is the sudden rise of high-rise buildings between the flat ground. Here, in the Great Chu State, the changes in the daily life of ordinary people are also extremely drastic. If someone is manipulating in secret, even the position of Emperor Chu will have to be changed frequently.

This is the time difference that Yang Tianhong is interested in. Forming and training an army of 100,000 people can be built in a few years as long as there are sufficient logistical supplies and sufficient money and manpower. On the other hand, in the cultivation world, a few years is at most a few years for the strength of the monks to be promoted to a level. And that's the most optimistic scenario.

Whether it was the cultivation world or the ordinary world, no one seemed to notice and perceive this problem. It's no wonder that the human mind is easily fixed by external things. Monks are stronger than ordinary people, and ordinary people are ants in the eyes of monks. Such a concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whether it is the emperors of various countries or the monks of various sects. There has never been any doubt about this concept. After all, the rules of heaven and earth are there, and they have been like this for thousands of years. Even if an emperor has an extremely obsessive fantasy of immortality and power, at most, he will scatter a large amount of gold and silver, and hire monks into the palace to make alchemy for himself, or give up worldly power. Escape into the mountains to find a way to cultivate.

Did any emperor ever think of leading a large army to attack the cultivation sect?

The answer to this question is, of course, no. This is no longer a rhapsody, it is simply arrogant. Isn't it? There are so many legends in the world about the monk's supernatural powers, and their incomparable strength. They will scatter beans into soldiers, they will turn clouds and rain, they will subdue dragons and tigers, and they will provoke thunder and rage against their opponents...... In short, in front of the incomparably powerful monks, all demons and monsters are chickens and dogs, all those with ill intentions are rubbish, and all reactionaries are paper tigers.

Oh! Seems wrong. This last sentence is not a true portrayal of this world. But Yang Tianhong knew. The monks may have all kinds of powerful cultivation in one way or another, but no one can do the technique of "sprinkling beans into soldiers". Even the most powerful head of the legendary Taiyi Palace could not do this.

Quantity is the biggest advantage of the ordinary world. Yang Tianhong is deeply aware of this. Luckily, so far, no one has ever thought about it except him.

Zhong Yuanyu, the head of the Guiyuan Sect, may have noticed a little bit. But. Yang Tianhong was originally a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, and he would not do anything unfavorable to his sect no matter what.

And also. Steel armor has lived for tens of thousands of years, and it is said that people are old and refined, and experience and wisdom always increase with age. In front of that divine beast, Yang Tianhong felt as if he had been stripped naked many times, without the slightest secret. It has never been broken, and probably never has been. But no matter what. The Steel Armor Storm belongs to the Guiyuan Sect, and that is enough.

Zhang Yan had already sent the relevant information about artillery back to the Guiyuan Sect Flame Palace. Xiong Jie regarded it as a treasure, and the sect leader Zhong Yuanyu ordered to transfer the best disciples of the Flame Palace, along with the core disciples of the Luotu Palace. It is necessary to develop an infinitely powerful psionic cannon according to Yang Tianhong's idea.

A fire gun has been built on the Anzhou side. Although it is not the rear-loading type of the pistol that Yang Tianhong wants the most, it is far ahead of this era. Regarding the possible big war in the future, Yang Tianhong once estimated that as long as there were enough firearms, they could naturally cause a lot of damage to the monks of Taiyi Palace. To put it bluntly, it's actually a question of who has more people than whom. Luckily, I saw through this and started operating early and gained the upper hand.

In any case, Lizhou must be determined to win. No matter who dared to stand in front of him to stop him, Yang Tianhong would not hesitate to hack him to death.

Next, there is the same state.

Which one should it be in the future? It depends on the progress of things and the general trend of the world. If he really commands the world, Yang Tianhong believes that the possibility of killing Taiyi Palace and returning to Yuanzong to replace it can reach 100%.

Lu Mingtao saw too many dead people and too many severed heads. Those are all their own colleagues, all soldiers under their own subordinates.

Lu Mingtao was not surprised, and even had a sense of relief that he had a long breath.

These people can't be considered soldiers at all, at most they are garbage in the Lizhou army. It was precisely because of their presence that the Wasion Battalion became a mess and scattered. In the past, the Weisheng Battalion was okay to do business, but when it went into battle, it was just a big fight with the word "death" pasted on the door of the head.

Yang Hu didn't kill just anyone. The cruel and cold-blooded methods shocked everyone on the spot. Even the guy who had an idea in his heart and wanted to provoke others would definitely be frightened by such unreasonable and merciless killing. The reorganization work went very smoothly, and all the people Yang Hu liked were formed into a team, and there were more than 6,000 people before and after. However, these are the only useful people in the entire Wasion camp. The rest are either ruffians and hooligans, or the old, weak, sick and disabled.

The preliminary reorganization of the battalions of the Lizhou Army lasted three days. This is the time set by Yang Tianhong, and no one is allowed to delay it under any pretext. There have been a lot of killings, and the officials in Lizhou, who had originally maintained a wait-and-see attitude, have a completely new understanding of the tough and ruthless style of the new Jiedu envoy -- in front of Yang Tianhong, they should not mention anything such as prevarication and delay. His reaction was only one word. Kill!

Including Lu Mingtao, the final number of 300,000 Lizhou troops was only more than 80,000. Again, this is the result of the relaxation of the selection criteria for officers assigned to battalions. Although it did not meet the 100,000 expected figure of Yang Tianhong, it was barely in line with the requirements. With the number of people in Lizhou, the work of recruiting 20,000 sergeants is not difficult to complete.

Hu Yingtong and a cadre of civilian officials immediately entered the barracks. They refer to the roster. More than 200,000 elderly and weak people were screened one by one. Those who have no criminal record will be transported to Fuzhou and sent to Anzhou on a ship. Those who have a bad reputation in the army and have a slippery temperament are all organized into hard labor camps. Lizhou is mountainous and has always been the most important iron ore producing area in Chu. Moreover, Lizhou also has huge reserves of coal resources. Before the invention of advanced gadgets such as automatic excavators, all work had to be done by manpower. The labor camp has always been worried about the lack of personnel, and it will never be troubled by the number of people.

The Mengjia firm took root in Lizhou for the first time. Meng Qi has done a commendable job in this regard. A large number of armor and weapons were sent from Anzhou. Well-trained craftsmen quickly set up shelves on the Lizhou side. Ten days later, the new Lizhou workshop was operational. Although the number of craftsmen could not meet the needs of the entire new state army, it also relieved some of the pressure of transporting supplies from Anzhou. As long as Yang Tianhong continues to be at the helm of Lizhou, this situation will be reversed sooner or later. After all, the amount of coal and iron resources on the Lizhou side is much higher than that on the Anzhou side.

The training was unusually brutal from day one. The Lizhou Army, which had been relaxed for too long, could not adapt to high-intensity military training at all. Although just starting with the most basic queue standing. It has already made many people complain. The methods of the instructors of the Xuanhuo Army were still the same as those that had been tried and tested in the past -- sticks, leather whips, and sharp knives that cut off heads and killed people.

The Lizhou Army soon discovered a completely different difference from the past. That's food and clothing. Especially when it comes to eating. It's a generous treatment that I couldn't even think of before. On the first day, breakfast consisted of white flour steamed buns and pickles, plus a broth with thick oil flowers floating on the noodles. As soon as the officers and soldiers of Lizhou looked straight at the scene, everyone was in disbelief, feeling that this kind of food was not for themselves at all. According to past experience, even the generals and the family members around the Hou Ye may not necessarily have such a delicacy. It's morning after all. Three meals a day has always been a legend. What's more, there is meat to eat. On weekdays, it's just a multigrain cake with vegetable soup, and some of the oil and salt in it are very good.

The food at noon was more hearty, braised pork in a large basin. It made the officers and soldiers of Lizhou almost stare out of their eyes. The rice dumplings are steaming hot in buckets, and there are more than three varieties of vegetables. This kind of good thing that I may not be able to eat during the New Year in the past actually makes the chef who came from the Xuanhuo Army feel very indebted. According to his statement: Mainly because of the hurry from Anzhou, it was difficult to buy pigs, sheep and vegetables around the barracks for a while. Otherwise, the meal at noon should be richer.

Because he showed and cooperated too much from the beginning, Lu Mingtao still held the position of deputy battalion officer. Of course, in terms of training, he still has to start from scratch like an ordinary soldier. After all, an officer is an officer, and the sources are naturally more well-informed than ordinary soldiers. After lunch, Lu Mingtao became interested in the affairs of the Xuanhuo Army. The cook is also a man of many words, and he is blunt: according to the order of Duke Yiyong, the Xuanhuo Army must have more than six varieties for breakfast, and there must be no less than twenty meat and vegetarian dishes for lunch and dinner. In the evening, after the army has been trained, the kitchen must also prepare supper. However, Lizhou is not Anzhou after all, and it is difficult to prepare all kinds of materials for a while. The Duke gave a death order, and the food supply of the cut version was maintained until the end of this month at most. Starting from next month, all the expenses of the Lizhou Army will be exactly the same as that of the Xuanhuo Army.

Of course, in addition to food, clothing and weapons, there is another crucial prerequisite for achieving such a level. That is, everyone must pass the relevant subject training and become qualified recruits of the Lizhou Army.

......

Perhaps because of the tight blockade of the news, Tuyu Hun Danyu never led his troops south. The identity of Rong Di, who attacked Tieyang City, has been confirmed, and it is the tribe of the Aries King.

Although they are all Rongdi, Tuyuhun cannot control every tribe 100%. The Aries King's attack on Tieyang City was carried out alone, not because of the news that the envoys of the capital of Chu had been killed, but simply for plunder. In the panic, He Tianyang, the guard of Tieyang Town, did not send a scout horse, so naturally it was impossible to know that the number of Rong Di of the Aries King clan who attacked Tieyang City that day was actually far less than hundreds of thousands. At most, it is about 80,000. Although the Aries King is dissatisfied with Tuyuhun, he still has to respect Shan Yu's orders on the surface. Since it is not allowed to invade the Chu realm on a large scale, it is not a big deal to come to the border area and capture a few cities.

Maybe it's because the world has been quiet for too long, and God deliberately wants to cause some trouble. The drought began two years ago. It has continued until now, and there is no sign of wanting rain in the sky. Qi, Chu, and Zhao were the three countries most affected by the drought. Yan and South Korea, which are located further north of the mainland, have been hit by large-scale cold snaps last year and this year. Due to its northerly location, cold air has been lingering in both countries, making it impossible for large areas of farmland to thaw normally in spring.

Speaking of which, among the countries in the world, Yan and South Korea have the worst geographical location. Yang Tianhong doesn't know if this world is also a planet, but judging from the various geographical features that he knows so far. This place should not be much different from the other world, it is also located in the universe, and it is also a planet with abundant life. Yan and Korea are vast, especially Yan, whose territory far exceeds that of any country in the Central Plains, and is even more than four times that of Chu. However, the territory of Yan borders the North Pole, and a considerable part of it is covered with snow and ice all year round. Even in areas at lower latitudes. There are also freeze periods of six months or more throughout the year. The number of people in Yan is scarce, and the annual sunshine hours are far lower than those of other continental countries. But with the vast and fertile black soil. The total grain output of Yan is very large. Yang Tianhong didn't know if there were any high-yielding crops such as potatoes and corn in this era? Perhaps, they were also sleeping on another continent at the end of the sea like another world! The wheat produced in Yan Country was of quite good quality, and there were extremely large rye and cold-tolerant species among the crops. The climate is cold, coupled with the benevolence of Emperor Yan, and he governs well. Therefore. Although Yan and Qin bordered each other, and wars of varying scales broke out every year, the soldiers of Yan State, who had already developed a strong physique in the cold climate, were not weaker than the soldiers of Qin. Since the founding of the country in ancient times, there has been a constant war between the two countries. It is no exaggeration to say that the State of Qin and the State of Yan are feuds. There will never be a day when it will dissolve.

The geographical shape of Korea is very peculiar. It is connected to the continent, but it is a completely independent landmass. Korea borders the state of Yan and is about the same size as the state of Chu. It is surrounded by seawater, and only to the southeast is an isthmus about three miles wide, which connects Korea with the entire continent. In appearance, Korea looks like a giant pumpkin growing on vines. The Korean royal family has never been enterprising, and has never participated in the wars of the Central Plains, and the Korean royal family is also happy to enjoy peace, and has sent heavy troops to firmly control the entrance and exit of the isthmus. That kind of place has been an extremely steep moat since ancient times. Some people also say that it is because Emperor Han's ancestor was a Mahayana immortal master, and when he ascended to the upper realm, he swung his sword in the sky and forcibly cut such a large strange and special place on the ground, as a place for future generations to live. There is really no basis for this statement, and I can't find any relevant records in the classics, and it is purely circulated among the people. But no matter what, the Korean royal family reveals this legend as a classic. Of course, no one knows what the actual situation looks like. Perhaps, the biggest secret lies within the Korean royal family.

In addition to the topography, South Korea's climate is also far superior to that of the neighboring country of Yen. It is much warmer there than in Yan Kingdom, and delicate plants such as peonies can survive. No matter how you look at it, it seems that God is too kind to South Korea. There are some of the best iron ore on the continent and the easiest to mine, large areas of dense forests, and plains with gentle terrain and vast areas suitable for farming. The most exaggerated thing is that there are actually three rivers running through it, forming a dense network of water. It doesn't take much manual effort, and it's easy to turn it into a land of fish and rice.

Looking at all countries in the world, South Korea's military strength is the weakest. Since the death of the previous emperor, the number of South Korean troops has been around 150,000. Among them, 100,000 South Korean troops held both ends of the isthmus and occupied a dangerous and advantageous position. Another 50,000 Korean troops were scattered in the prefectures and counties of the country. According to common sense, a country like South Korea should vigorously develop its navy. However, the Emperor of Han had to follow the legacy of his ancestors that "no planks should go to sea", except for the people fishing in the coastal area, there was not a single warship or navy in the whole of Korea.

However, even if Korea had a navy, it would not be able to cross the sea to the south and attack Qin directly. The climate there is very special, with strong winds and waves all year round, which are simply inaccessible to sea vessels. This harsh and special marine environment has closed off South Korea on the one hand, but protected it on the other. After all, if even South Korean warships can't enter, let alone other countries penetrate it and attack South Korea from the sea. (To be continued.) )
