Chapter 42: Changes in the World

Just when Cao Xu was called the king of Wu and swept away the southeastern counties, Dou Jiande, who was in Hebei, also founded the country and called himself the king of Xia. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is King Wu in the south and King Xia in the north, and Li Mi, who is entrenched in the Central Plains, is naturally not to be outdone and calls himself the King of Wei.

Under the pretext of quelling the civil unrest, Li Yuan, the Taiyuan County Taishou killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the deputy guards of Taiyuan who were monitoring him, and mastered the military power in one fell swoop.

After Yang Guang returned to Guanzhong, the Yuwen valve gradually mastered the forbidden army, and with the support of the Guanlong nobles, he was ready to move.

In addition, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others in the north, with the support of the Turks, also divided one side and were respectively given the wolf's head banner by the Eastern/Turkic Shibi Khan, and were canonized by him.

In the study room of King Wu's palace, Cao Xu and Wei Zheng sat and discussed.

After Cao Xu became king, Wei Zheng also removed the word "agent" and officially became the county governor of Jiangdu County, and at the same time entered the political hall to participate in politics, and was responsible for the formation of Yangzhou City.

"Wei Qing, how is the formation of the City Division?" Cao Xu asked.

"Back to the king, the preliminary formation has been completed, and judging from the situation in the past few days, the city division is operating well. Wei Zheng said.

Cao Xu nodded and said: "The widow wants to add one more in addition to the six, which is for the Ministry of Commerce." In the future, all cities and cities will be placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, and I will remember Wei Qing's contributions. ”

Wei Zheng's face was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Wang." ”

There are now six departments in the political affairs hall, and now only Fu Gongyou is the secretary of the household department, Lu Miaozi is the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and the other four departments are all handled by the servants of each department, and Cao Xu has not been able to find a suitable person to fill the vacancy for a while.

Wei Zheng's talent is outstanding, but his qualifications are still shallow and he can't convince the public. From the City Department to the Ministry of Commerce, it became the Shangshu of the Seventh Department, which is the development route planned by Cao Xu.

As for Lu Miaozi, this old man doesn't need Cao Xu to worry about at all. As soon as the new official took office, he came up with a new type of shipbuilding technology, called a flywheel warship.

This is a kind of boat loaded with wheels, using the reaction force of water to the ship to push the boat forward, put the left and right chords under the wheel to rush the water, fly the wind and waves, as fast as hanging sails, even when there is no wind, it can also travel hundreds of miles a day, making it easy and durable.

The real high technology immediately conquered most of the Ministry of Industry officials, and even if others still had any ideas, they could only hide them in their stomachs.

In March, after besieging the city for more than half a month, Shen Faxing surrendered the city. Xu Shiji led the army to Jian'an County, and Du Fuwei fled into Lingnan and disappeared.

At this point, the entire southeast was pacified, and Li Zitong led the army back to Jiangdu, and was crowned as the general of Pingdong, becoming the second general of the Wu army after Li Jing.

Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, and Cheng Zhijie each commanded 5,000 troops, and they were the four tiger generals, and they were divided into various parts of the town.

Zhai Rang Feng Wei Chengbo and gave Jue Tian 6,000 mu, and Shen Faxing Feng Wu Kangzi gave Jue Tian 3,000 mu.

In April, Wang Jia moved south to inspect and pacify the southeastern counties. At the same time, the journey of Lingnan began.

Listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the side of the ship, Cao Xu flipped through the information in his hand.

In addition to the Song Dynasty, there was another force in the land of Lingnan, that is, the Nanhai faction located in Zhuya County (Hainan Island).

The most famous master of the Nanhai faction is the "Nanhai Immortal" Chao Gongcuo, a grandmaster-level figure, and now Mei Xun, the head of the Nanhai faction, is only his disciple grandchildren.

It is rumored that Ning Daoqi once fought a decisive battle with Chao Gongcuo on the Leizhou Peninsula, and Chao Gongcuo was defeated by Ning Daoqi's stunt "Eight Saves in Loose Hands" at the bottom of the box, which can be said to be glorious although defeated. It can be seen that the "South China Sea Immortal" Chao Gong is wrong.

Li Mi repeatedly sent people south to invite him out of the mountain, but he was refused.

Although it is said that it is the world of the Song Dynasty to go deep into the land, the South China Sea Party also has a lot of influence on the coastal counties.

"If I have time, maybe I should go to the South China Sea Sect for a walk. Cao Xu thought in his heart.

The fleet sailed into the Qinjiang River, Cao Xu led the crowd to land in Zunhua, went north to Yushui, after crossing the water is Yulin County, Songjiashan City is in the western suburbs of Yulin City.

Along the way, nothing happened.

Cao Xu was greatly surprised in his heart, this time he went south, he was ready to go south with the four holy monks of Buddhism and Ning Daoqi. But unexpectedly, none of these people came.

You must know that once the Song lords were annexed, the Wu army in the south immediately possessed the territory of the Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period, but now the northern forces are divided, and no one can achieve unification in a short time.

The imbalance between the strength and weakness of the North and the South is a terrible thing.

"Unless...... Unless there is something more important that they can't get their hands on. As soon as he thought of this, Cao Xu immediately stopped the frame, and the golden light and silver light appeared in his eyes, looking towards the northwest.

The origin of Jin Dan was rapidly consumed, and under the insight of the "Sun and Moon Xuanxu True Pupil", Cao Xu saw that the red dragon in the direction of Chang'an in the north had been wrapped in a large cloud of black gas.

The black qi continued to erode the red dragon's body, and the dying red dragon pounced left and right, but to no avail.

"The Yuwen valve mutinied, and Li Yuan was about to attack Chang'an. Cao Xu immediately understood.

Closing his eyes, the golden light and silver light dissipated, and many thoughts swirled in his heart, and finally turned into a long sigh.

The whip is beyond reach, and the doppelganger lacks skills.

The frame continued to set off, heading in the direction of Songjiashan City.

Songjia mountain city is located at the confluence of Yushui River, three sides of the water, the majestic mountain towers, the stone city is built from the mountainside according to the mountain situation Lei River, along the mountain graceful, the main buildings are located in the mountains to open up a large piece of flat land, the situation is precipitous, there is the spirit of a husband, the king is near the mountains and plains, and Yulin County is far away, symbolizing the dominant force for the safety of the entire Lingnan District.

Along the Yu River, dozens of large warehouses and hundreds of large and small wharves have been built, the wharves are full of large and small ships, and the traffic on the river is endless, and the momentum of prosperity and prosperity is magnificent.

"Song Zhi has seen King Wu. Song Valve's No. 2 person, Song Zhi, nicknamed "Earth Sword", led the crowd to greet him on the dock.

This man is in his forties, with a slender figure, white skin as snow, a thin face with a pair of gloomy but clever and intelligent eyes, plus an amorous mouth and five long beards.

"Second Master Song is polite. Cao Xu looked around and sighed: "The mountains are lingering, the water is circulating, and the rugged and dangerous obstacles are difficult, even if I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to use them." ”

Song Zhi smiled and said, "This mountain city has consumed an unknown amount of manpower and material resources, and it will still take more than three generations and hundreds of years to build its current scale. The city has a long-term reserve of grain for more than a year, and there is spring water, which is sweet and delicious, and making tea is a must. ”

Cao Xu's eyes fell on the ramp that could accommodate five horses galloping side by side, and said with a smile: "Then I must drink two more sips before I can live up to Lingnan." (To be continued.) )
