"It's more than that."

At this time, Li Xian made up again: "Except for Changsha." After the Northern Expedition, Ninghai added 50,000 soldiers, and at the same time, there were 50,000 county soldiers.

Moreover, the country has also established a system of township militia groups, and there are more than 100,000 militia groups throughout the country.

This adds up to more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

On the side of the South China Sea, although there are no Changsha and Ninghai, there are nearly 20,000 palace guards and local government and county soldiers in the country.

Moreover, most of the country's officials were originally disciples of the Nanhai faction, and most of these people came from the local heroes and warriors of Nanhai County.

These groups have strong roots in the local direction and have many financial prestige. And the children of the clan also practice martial arts.

Therefore, it may be difficult to let them lead the army.

However, if a foreign enemy invades the South China Sea, these heroic warriors will do their best to defend their hometown and their own interests.

At that time, it will not be a problem to pull out 100 or 200,000 soldiers and horses in the localities.

Moreover, these soldiers and horses are all relatives of the township party, although they are not very familiar with the banner of the battle formation, the cohesion is indeed not bad. He also comes from a martial arts family, and his courage is not weak.

The South China Sea seems to have a weak force, with only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers.

But it is hiding soldiers from the people, and in fact it is not easy to fight.

If the imperial court wants to destroy these two countries, it is impossible to have one or two innate grandmasters to command without 200,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Well.

In this way, how many soldiers and horses are there in the three kingdoms that participated in the rebellion now?

There are 800,000 in Changsha, more than 200,000 in Ninghai, and more than 200,000 in Nanhai, all of which add up to more than 1.3 million.

Regardless of the quality of these soldiers and horses, even if they are militia and brave, they can't fight in the field, and they will always defend the city, right?

Not to mention, among the 1.3 million soldiers and horses, there are more than 300,000 elite soldiers.

Shen Qiu just calculated in his heart, and he had completely lost his mind about whether to send troops to quell the chaos.

"Alright, don't talk about it."

The Jianwu Emperor waved his hand, stopped Li Xian, the secretary of the military department who wanted to continue to list the data to persuade him not to use troops, and said gloomily: "I know that these three kingdoms are difficult to fight, and I will not send troops, so don't talk about it anymore." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, these three kingdoms are not indestructible, they just need time to wait." Ten years later, twenty years later, when the four counties of Jiangdong recuperate, with the power of the imperial court, they can definitely be destroyed. ”

It's just that after hearing this, Shen Qiu was not interested, just nodded: "I know." ”

In the face of rebellion, he could not raise a large army to pacify him.

This cruel reality hit the newly enthroned Jianwu Emperor quite heartily.

I don't want to worry about these things anymore.

Seeing this, Li Xian didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the king has now been persuaded and the goal has been achieved, so he has to bow again, and then silently retreat.

That's it.

In the face of the three countries of Changsha, Nanhai, and Ninghai, which stood up and openly rebelled independently, they faced the threat of their own legal principles and the reduction of their national dignity.

On the side of the Jinling Imperial Court, the newly-born Ning Guo did not react.

This Jianwu Tianzi, who has only been founded for two months, started to be an ostrich, shrank his head, and didn't see all this.

And this gesture, after it spread, countless people in the world who were watching the attitude of the Jinling court were in an uproar.

Because everyone realized what the retreat of the Jinling court and the retreat of the Ning Kingdom mean?

And in the midst of this uproar, in the second year, that is, in the second year of the establishment of the military, the news from Changsha pushed this wave even more.

……

In Baling City, Dongting County, Lu Yuan, the king of Changsha, who had been stationed here for several months, still did not see the movement of the Jinling court after waiting for several months.

Finally, after probing the news of the Ning State court, it was confirmed that the Jianwu Heavenly Son became an ostrich and could not send troops again.

Therefore, after declaring independence and breaking away from the tributary system of the Jinling court, on the eighth day of the first month of the second year of Jianwu, he sacrificed to the sky outside Baling City.

Later, it was announced that the name of the country was changed to Chu, but the throne was still the king, and it was the king of Chu.

Then, in the name of the king of Chu, Lu Yuan announced the change of Yuan Shenwu and officially made a complete cut with the Jinling court.

Immediately after the Changsha Kingdom, also on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Ninghai Kingdom also changed its country name, and established the State of Su after the surname of the lord Su Xuange. The same changed to Yuan Guangwu.

Changsha and Ninghai have become a thing of the past. The state of Chu and the state of Su have opened a new chapter.

With the renaming of these two countries to Jianyuan, the Jinling Imperial Court, represented by Ningguo, officially announced the collapse of its hegemony over the entire Yangzhou region.

The position of the hegemon of the world, inheriting the orthodox nascent Ning State of the Yue Kingdom, has been lost, both nominally and substantively.

As for the hegemony in the Yangzhou region, although it can barely be maintained.

But if it is because of what was said before, the two kingdoms of Hanzhong and Xichuan, with the isolation from the Jinling court, slowly followed the independence of independence.

Jiuzhen County was also established independently.

After the loss of these peripheral vassal barriers, then only the four counties of Jiangdong were left, and Ningguo completely changed from a large country that originally occupied most of Yangzhou to a regional power that occupied a corner of the eastern corner of Yangzhou.

And no one knows when the above two countries and one county will be independent and separate.

It's just that everyone knows that when the two countries and one county are independent and separated, it will be the day when the hegemony of Ningguo Yangzhou ends.

At that time, Ningguo, which has fallen from the overlord of the world to the overlord of Yangzhou, will completely fall from the throne of the overlord.

That is, the history of the Linhai County family controlling Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 2,000 years will also come to an end here and become a thing of the past.

The era of the six surnames and seven clans, the era of the Jinling family, and the era of the Ning Kingdom, under the pry of Lu Yuan, a traverser, is gradually coming to an end.

And for these things of the old times, he is still working harder, trying to sweep them into the garbage heap completely.

Then the newly-born state of Chu will take over the hegemony of Yangzhou and participate in the competition for deer in the world.

Sooner or later, this day will come.

As an immortal, Lu Yuan firmly believed in this.

Because others can't afford it, but he will definitely be able to survive all his contemporaries.

When the time comes, everyone else will die, and won't you be the only hero left?

This is a survival strategy.

……

Changsha and Ninghai began a vigorous renaming of Jianyuan.

On the other hand, the South China Sea Country did not follow the two allies closely this time, and still maintained the South China Sea Country name.

Even although he is independent, he still uses the era name of Jianwu Tianzi.

As the ambitions of Chu and Su were exposed, it was obvious that Yan Wangqiu had also begun to guard against these two allies.

At this time, I used the Jianwu era name to leave a way back for myself.

After all, he will soon die of old age.

And after his death, the South China Sea Kingdom was deprived of the protection of the innate grandmaster. At that time, two powerful allies were on the side, all with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

These many armies, who knows if they are guarding against Ningguo, or staring at themselves.

It is said that people become old and fine.

Yan Wangqiu is just old, and he has a weak heart in many things, and he doesn't want to move anymore.

But that doesn't mean he's gone.

What's the matter, he is also a person who has lived for more than a hundred years, and some things are twists and turns, and conspiracies and tricks still can't be hidden from him.

And the departure of the South China Sea State naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Chu State and the Soviet State. Among them, Su Xuange even sent an envoy to the South China Sea to condemn.

Lu Yuan's side also sent envoys.

But instead of condemning, he exchanged feelings and gave Yan Wangqiu some gifts to appease the heart of this ally.

At the same time, he asked, did the various assistance promised by the South China Sea State to the Chu State still count?

After receiving the answer that the aid was still counted, Lu Yuan didn't care much about this matter.

Anyway, whether it is the Soviet Union or the South China Sea, he doesn't expect the two countries to really be of the same mind as him.

As long as they still count the benefits they promised, and can continue to provide money and food to help them support their expanding army, this is enough.

But even so, between the three kingdoms, after this incident, there was already a rift in the covenant.

Although it has not yet been completely broken, it is not long in time.

Maybe when Yan Wangqiu dies, after the loss of this innate grandmaster, between the three kingdoms, there will be sword soldiers.

After all, Lu Yuan has the assistance of the South China Sea and the Soviet Union, and he has almost two counties, so he can afford to raise 240,000 soldiers and horses.

But Su Xuange's Su country only has one county, and one-third of the domestic taxes were cut off by Lu Yuan, but there are 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Although it can be supported by internal conquest and tyranny, this obviously cannot last long.

If you don't find a new source of wealth quickly, then the 100,000 male soldiers raised now will not be the pillar of the Su State, but the source of chaos.

Martial artists who can't receive money don't care if your country is difficult or not, and whether the people are poor.

All they know is that you don't pay me and you deduct my salary. So since you don't give it, don't blame me for taking it myself.

In the face of arrears of military salaries, even if you are an innate grandmaster, this is not easy to do.

At the beginning, Wu'anhou was so powerful, but when he entered Xichuan Pingshu, the logistics were cut off, and his army didn't mutiny?

What even Wu Anhou can't do, Su Xuange, a monarch who became a monk halfway, can't do it even more.

Therefore, under the huge financial pressure, the expansion of the Soviet Union to the outside world has become an inevitable thing.

The difference is only that the current Soviet State can last for a few years.

Who is this war of external expansion?

Judging from the current surrounding situation, the South China Sea Kingdom, which the monarch is about to die of old age and will soon lose the blessing of the innate grandmaster, is undoubtedly the best target.

Yan Wangqiu estimated that he saw this, and felt the crisis from the continuous expansion of the Soviet Union, so he slowly broke away from the Triple Alliance and moved closer to Ningguo.

Isn't it just that after the allies are unreliable, they can use the power of the Jinling court to protect their national glory?

As for doing this, whether it is to quench thirst by drinking a donkey, and those who are already dying can't take care of so much.

If you can quench your thirst for a while, it will be counted as a moment.

……

The fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Shenwu.

In the palace of the King of Chu, which had just been built, there were lights everywhere, and the red color was all over the palace, and even the faces of the lowest-ranking palace maids and eunuchs in the palace also showed smiles in this festive atmosphere.

Inside the Hall of Advancement.

Lu Yuanzheng and the queen were entertaining the Chinese military officials of the DPRK during this Lantern Festival.

The new establishment of the Chu State and the change of the Yuan Shenwu, these two things are extremely exciting.

Because this represents that the Chu State Group headed by Lu Yuan has once again won the victory in the battle with the Ning State Group represented by the Jinling Imperial Court.

Since then, not only has the Chu State been out of the control of the Ning State, but the Ning State has also completely fallen to the status of the overlord of the world, and even the status of the Yangzhou overlord is in danger, and there is a risk of falling at any time.

Such an era when the hegemon is down and the hegemony is vacant is the time when the hero stirs up the situation and reorganizes the hegemony.

Looking at the whole Yangzhou, except for the overlord Ningguo, which is already in decline, whether it is the Su State and the Nanhai State in Lingnan, or the Hanzhong and Xichuan Kingdoms in the west, they are much weaker than the nascent Chu State.

These four countries have absolutely no possibility of vying for hegemony.

In addition to the few foreign countries under the original Yue State system, on the boundary of Yangzhou, there are only dozens of Yi countries in the southwest.

Although the strength of those Yi countries is not weak, even the strongest among them are not inferior to the Chu country.

But these barbarian countries, after all, are the name of foreign countries, and Jiangnan Zhengshuo, represented by the Jinling court, has an incompatible culture and contradictions.

Moreover, although the territory of the Southwest Zhuyi Kingdom is also vast, even if a Jinghai country is destroyed, there are still six or seven counties equivalent to the south of the Yangtze River.

But in the land of six or seven counties, there are three great Yi countries divided up, and there are also many contradictions between these Yi countries, many tribes have attacked and killed each other for generations, and they have a deep blood feud, and they can't be integrated together at all.

Therefore, they are deeply involved in infighting, and they can't spare their strength at all to participate in the battle for hegemony in Yangzhou in the outside world.

Therefore, if you count it carefully, looking at the entire Yangzhou, the only thing that can shake the hegemony of Jinling Ning is the Chu State, which spans three counties, has a territory of thousands of miles, has a household registration of one million, and has more than 200,000 heroes.

Being in such a vibrant, vigorous and progressive country, and becoming an official in it, participating in the struggle for hegemony.

Tell me, for those civil and military officials who have the world in mind and have great ambitions, can they not rejoice and boost their morale?

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, in the palace, the splendid fireworks that had been arranged were roaring in the night sky.

Under the dazzling colors, it sets off the elegance of today's Dachu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although my Great Chu has broken away from the Ning Kingdom, it is independent and orthodox. But when the new dynasty was first built, everything was in ruins.

Sort out the national politics and govern the people. Outside the thieves, conquer the world.

In the future, many achievements must be assisted by all virtuous ministers.

I hope that our monarchs and ministers can work together as one, and create a prosperous world of gods and martial arts that belong to us in this world. ”

After several rounds of brilliant fireworks, Lu Yuan stood up, holding a wine cup in his hand, and said congratulations to the many ministers below.

"King Yingrui, the ministers will do their best, assist the king of the left, and create a prosperous era of divine martial arts!"

"Born as a holy monarch, I am very fortunate in this life, and the minister dares not to die!"

"Ten thousand years of my king!"

Many courtiers below also raised their wines and saluted at this time, congratulating them from the bottom of their hearts.

Lu Yuan listened, smiled and smiled, and then said: "Qing and others use it slowly, and the queen and the queen will not stay longer to disturb your interest." ”

After that, he hugged Lan Caier next to him and carefully helped her away.

Seeing this, the ministers behind him gave a salute and sent the king and queen away.

Then, without the presence of the monarch, and without the restraints of the courtiers, they immediately raised their glasses and changed their lamps, left their seats, and went to drink with those they knew well.

Lu Yuan, who was already far away from the Jinxian Palace, could still hear the noise behind him at this time, so he couldn't help but turn his head and said to Lan Cai'er next to him: "Queen, this prosperous world is all for you and me in the future." ”

He pointed to the palace behind him, and then pointed to Baling City, which was lit up with stars and lights outside, expressing his ambition.

Hearing this, Lan Cai'er gently touched her already bulging belly, looked at Lu Yuan's face, leaned forward gently, and murmured: "Concubine and child, this life will be entrusted to the king." ”

Lu Yuan hugged Lan Cai'er and smiled gently: "Don't worry, the queen, even if it is for me and other children, Gu will lay a great territory and let you enjoy the glory of the world." ”

While speaking, he felt the body temperature of the person in his arms, listened to the rhythm of the other party's stomach, and experienced the voice of life, and the whole person couldn't help but have some trance.

It has been twenty years since Longqing crossed over in the eighteenth year to the first year of Shenwu now.

After 20 years, do you want to leave your own children in this world?

I'm going to be a dad myself.

This kind of wonderful experience made Lu Yuan, a grandmaster and an immortal cultivator, both fluctuating in their hearts.

On the one hand, he wanted to be close to this child of his own, to be close to the mark he left in this world. But on the one hand, I was afraid that I would invest too much emotion, and in the end, when the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, he was overly sad and sad.

The dilemma between the two phases is really entangled.

That's it, that's it, let it be. ’

After being annoyed, Lu Yuan sighed.

"The King?"

This sigh caught Lan Cai'er's attention, and she, who was already pregnant and sensitive, couldn't help but look up.

"It's okay, it's a little cold, let's go back first."

Lu Yuan lowered his head, smiled slightly, and then helped his wife and walked towards the dormitory.

The lights behind him were bustling, and the inner palace attendants who followed on both sides were all walking lightly and breathing slowly, not daring to disturb the interest of the extremely noble people of the Chu State in front of them.

And between the walks, Lu Yuan had already seen it.

Regardless of whether you will feel sad for your child in the future, giving birth to a child now is undoubtedly of great benefit to stabilizing the country and consolidating the country's foundation.

Even one child is not enough, you have to have a few more, preferably dozens.

Maybe if you give birth to more, even if you send one or two away, the sadness in your heart will be much less? ’

Lu Yuan thought so in his heart.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, he has never been a father.

Therefore, this father-son relationship is also extremely unfamiliar and dazed, and I don't know how to deal with it.

At this time, I can only make this inference according to my own thoughts.

As for whether it is correct or not, it can only be verified slowly by time.

But for now.

For the sake of oneself and for the sake of the child who is about to be born, it is always right to strengthen the Chu State first.

It's about the cultivation of the Taiping Daoshu, but you can't let it go.

This is the method of protecting the path of one's own immortality, and it must not be abandoned.
