Chapter 68: The Expedition
And on the way back, Ye Man said gently: "Mei Niang, I don't know when I will be able to come back this time! ”
"If you encounter any problems in dealing with state affairs, then you only need to tell the disciples of the 'Ask Heavenly Gate' or the followers of the 'Great God Sect', and then I will naturally know what you are asking for. ”
"Your Majesty, do you really want to leave?" After listening to Ye Man's words, Wu Meiniang suddenly said with some reluctance.
"Hehe, Mei Niang, don't you want to live that 'fairy couple' life with me one day earlier?"
"Yes, of course Mei Niang thought about it, but it is a huge Tang Dynasty, and the concubines may be a little powerless in management!" After listening to Ye Man's words, Wu Meiniang immediately said without thinking.
"It's okay, after I leave, I will let the disciples of the 'Ask Heavenly Gate' and the believers of the 'Great God Sect' fully cooperate with your work, and when the time comes, you only need to move your mouth, I believe that such a simple job should not be difficult for Mei Niang!"
"In this way, the concubine will thank His Majesty for being considerate, but His Majesty, the concubine hopes that His Majesty can return as soon as possible......"
"Mei Niang, don't worry! I promise you that it won't take more than 5 years at most, and I will be back. ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine will always wait for Her Majesty's return. After listening to Ip Man's words, Wu Meiniang immediately said in an affectionate tone.
"Mei Niang, let's separate from each other, because I still have some things to explain to the person in charge of the 'Asking Heavenly Gate' and the 'Great God Sect', in this case. They will be able to better assist you in managing Datang!"
"Uh-huh. 陛xià. Go get busy!"
After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, Ye Man kissed Wu Meiniang gently, and then said goodbye.
............
In the early morning of the next day, outside the palace, the military flag fluttered, and the 30,000 soldiers were already ready to go.
As for Ip Man, he was dressed in military uniform, and then rode a sweaty and bloody horse, standing in front of the army. Look far away!
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived, you can go!" Xiao Guizi on the side also changed into a military uniform, and then said extremely respectfully.
"Okay! Spread my will, the army will set off immediately, there must be no mistake!" After listening to Xiao Guizi's words, Ye Man immediately nodded and said in agreement.
"Your Majesty has a purpose, and the whole army set off. Then, Xiao Guizi shouted loudly.
Followed by. Under the leadership of Ip Man, 30,000 elite soldiers outside the palace. left with Ip Man.
Some people may wonder why the army sent out on the expedition is only 30,000 people? You must know that in addition to Datang, the armies of other countries are at least more than 100,000 people, and the 30,000 troops of Datang are estimated to be too tired to go abroad before they go abroad!
Actually, this question is easy to answer, because most of Ip Man's team on this expedition is composed of believers, and the strength of believers is dominated by the power of faith, so the strength of this 30,000-strong team is enough to resist the strength of the 3 million army.
Therefore, don't look at the small number of troops led by Ip Man, but if you really fight, it is estimated that no country in the world can defeat Datang!
Of course, on the eve of the expedition, Ip Man had already ordered the 'Great God Cult' to set up a news department, which was dedicated to publishing war reports and customs from the front line.
In addition to this aspect, this paper also strongly encourages the residents of Datang to go to those occupied countries to set up camp!
And this form of news release, that is, 'newspaper', and one copy is printed every day, which can be purchased from all the cities of Datang, and the price is also very cheap, one copper plate is enough.
I believe that the birth of 'newspaper' can increase the cohesion and centripetal force of Datang residents for Datang!
At the same time, Ip Man also publicly released a bounty task, asking all the residents of Datang to find the mountain range where the 'immortal weapon' is hiding, as long as the information provided by the residents is correct, then this resident can definitely ascend to the sky in one step and become a human being!
After all, luck is sometimes a kind of strength, so for those residents who have found the hiding place of the 'immortal weapon', Ip Man will naturally not be stingy with his rewards.
Soon, because the strength of Ip Man's team is too strong, the speed of Ip Man's march is still quite fast, although muskets and large siege equipment, 'Shenji Pavilion' has been produced, but in order to play a role in tempering, Ip Man did not bring these powerful weapons, but also let the believers travel lightly.
You must know that of these 30,000 believers, Ip Man is of great use, because the number of believers in the Tang Dynasty is increasing year by year, but no matter how the believers are strengthened, a fanatical believer has never been born, so Ip Man only set off with 30,000 people, which is to have the intention of cultivating.
I hope that through the tempering of the war, there will be some fanatics among these 30,000 people, in this way, the team led by Ip Man will be an invincible team, and at that time, as long as a city is conquered, then Ip Man can absorb this city in the shortest possible time.
After all, 'fighting to feed war' is the best way to dominate the world, so in order to achieve this goal better, the soldiers brought by Ip Man naturally don't need too much.
Besides, with the power of faith across the country to cultivate these 30,000 believers, I believe that after Ip Man returns, the strength of these 30,000 believers will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.
"Your Majesty, there is the Lingnan area ahead, the weather there is unusually hot, and there are fierce beasts from time to time, the locals call it the 'devil's zone', Your Majesty, should we take a rest first?" A local guide ran to Ip Man's side, and then said very respectfully.
"It's okay, everyone has worked hard all the way, so let's rest in place for a while!" After listening to the words of this guide, Ye Man immediately commanded.
In fact, the world where Datang is located is similar to the territory of the earth, except that the earth is round, but the world of Datang is in a flat space.
Therefore, the position where Ip Man is leading the army now should be the location in the tropical rainforest. (To be continued......)
