In the Heavens

In the five years of Shenwu, Zhu Houwei issued the "Order of Opening Frontiers".

Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:

All the children of Daming, no matter the princes and nobles, the clansmen, the scholars, farmers, industry, merchants and pawns, can go to the outside world to expand their territory.

It is the income of KJJ. Gold, silver, jewelry, fine land mines, and corresponding materials are all owned by individuals and are exempt from taxation for 30 years.

…

Note: "Kaijiang Order for Officials"

Kaijiang Baili, awarded Zhongwu school lieutenant. (From six products)

Spread three hundred miles in Kaijiang, and conferred General Wu Yi. (From five products)

Kaijiang was five hundred miles away, and he was credited to General Wu. (From the fourth product)

…

Open for thousands of miles, conferred the duke of the country. (Super product)

…

The price is clearly marked, and the official rank and title are promised. Only the wonderful Shenwu emperor can come up with it in the past dynasties.

Although some scholars felt that the content of the edict was too straightforward and lacked the slightest literary talent, it was detrimental to the court's majesty and gentleness, but the effect was immediate.

Once the edict was released, the whole world was boiling. Even the soldiers of the garrison, which had long been deserted, started gearing up.

It was only because the Emperor Shenwu restored the system of granting land for military service, and even secretly promised that all siege battles would not be sealed for three days, allowing everyone to rob legally outside the territory.

The sudden large gift package of edicts directly diverted the world's attention, and even the major earthquake that just passed has become irrelevant.

Only Xiaomin Shengdou was still immersed in the grief caused by the earthquake. Anyway, life is always going to be passed, especially now it is winter.

…

Huashan.

After experiencing the impact of a major earthquake, the Huashan School at this moment is like a large construction site. Everyone who is famous in the arena has turned into construction workers at this moment, working hard to rebuild their homes.

In the face of natural disasters, martial arts practitioners are still far stronger than ordinary people. During the earthquake, the Zhonghuashan faction suffered a lot of property losses, but the casualties were not large.

In addition to a few hapless people who were in deep retreat, who were killed by internal forces in the earthquake, they also scratched their skins on the young disciples.

After a brief glance at the loss list, Li Mu put it aside, and asked Zhang Bufan to deal with the chores:

"How is the situation in Guanzhong?"

Take care of yourself when the catastrophe is imminent. Li Mu can only pay attention to the problems at the door of his house. It will not be too late to consider major events in the world until his family is stabilized.

After thinking about it, Zhang Bufan said with a solemn expression: "The loss is very heavy. Huayin City under the mountain has collapsed in half. There are thousands of casualties among the people, almost every household has white sails.

The earthquake affected a wide range. The entire northwestern region was a hard-hit area, and other areas in Guanzhong were not much better.

However, the disaster relief is progressing well. Since the head in charge ordered, the Kwanzhong Wulin and North Korean officials have taken action, and there has been no major chaos for the time being.

It's just that after this battle, without ten years of work, Guanzhong is afraid it will be difficult to recover his vitality. "

The resilience of the farming era is weak, and the damage caused by a major earthquake will take ten years to calm down.

This is still an optimistic estimate. If a military disaster breaks out as a result, it may be difficult to recover for decades.

The government's active relief efforts in various parts of Guanzhong were not the result of everyone's high morals, but the result of being forced by Li Mu with a knife.

Although Li Dazhen, the master of the town, had never officially performed his duties for a day, no one dared to take his words seriously.

This is a lesson Wu Seniors exchanged with blood. In the past few years, there have been more than 30 civil and military officials in the northwest region. They lost their lives because of disobedience.

In the courtroom, apart from a few words of domineering and domineering uttered by Yu Shi, it quickly fell to the sea.

Looking to the south, Li Mu slowly said: "The emperor has ordered the conquest of the Quartet, and he has drafted a memorial to tell the emperor that I want to start the Western Expedition.

Make Shaanxi Bingbei Road prepare for conscription, and tentatively enlist an army of 200,000. After spring ploughing next year, the west will conquer the East Chagatai Khanate. "

Guanzhong is an awkward location, too far from the southeast coast. If it expands abroad, it can only move westward toward Central Asia.

The westward conquest of the East Chagatai Khanate, incidentally, was able to threaten the war from the flanks, sharing part of the military pressure for the court.

Although "Zhu Shou" General "Zhu Shou" also fought "Yingzhou Victory" a few years ago, Li Mu still had no confidence in the army of the Ming court.

According to the Great Wall, the problem is not big. If you go to the grassland to conquer the Wara Khanate, it is still unknown who beat whom.

In the unlikely event that General Zhu Shou breaks down, the Western Expeditionary Army can pull him at a critical moment, saving the land of China from torn apart at this knot.

After listening to Li Mu's words, Zhang Bufan hurriedly persuaded him: "The leader, it is not difficult to recruit a large army. The trouble is Qianliang and generals.

Especially the money and food, the expenditure of the 200,000 army is not a small sum. Shaanxi has been weak for a long time, and all the government treasuries are empty, and there is no money or food.

In recent years, although the income of my Huashan School has increased a lot, with the growth of the disciples, the expenses have also risen.

If it is an army of 20,000 to 30,000, we can still find a way to pool together and squeeze enough money out, but the army of 200,000 is really too weak. "

Li Mu knows the financial situation of Huashan School best. Although there was a surplus, they were all replaced by supplies.

After two decades of hard work, the Huashan School has become the largest grain wholesaler in the Northwest region, and the stock of grain in the warehouse has never been less than 300,000 shi.

After deducting daily business needs, the one-time allocation of 150,000 shi is not a problem. But for the 200,000 army, this is only two or three months of rations.

If it's a war period, maybe it can be eaten in a month and a half. In this age of insufficient oil and water, if the supply is opened up, the soldiers are all big-bellied kings.

Recruiting an army of 200,000 is not to say that it is going out to fight, and the expenses during the training period alone cannot be afforded by the Huashan faction.

"Don't worry, our family really can't support the 200,000 army, but if we find a few more forces to join together, then it will not be a big problem.

Didn't the Emperor Shenwu issue an order to open up the border? There are many interested parties who want to come to the arena. Coupled with the fact that Heaven and Earth killed the robbery, it was even more difficult for them to refuse.

I've calculated it. Erlong's head will rise in February next year. It is a rare occasion to see auspicious days in decades, and it is just right to hold a martial arts conference.

Brother Zhang, please arrange it. In my name, I invite all the rivers and lakes to send me to Huashan to participate in the martial arts conference.

By the way, I will also bring the famous Buddhist and Taoist temples and wealthy merchants from all over the world, and find opportunities to sponsor them at that time.

Junior Brother Yue is good at communication, so the fundraising task is left to him. If you want to take the face of my Huashan school, you should not be stingy with the previous one.

If the sponsorship is not enough, then borrow from them. We can use the land and minerals harvested by the Western Expedition as collateral for borrowing.

The problem of commanding generals is easier to handle, and the famous generals of the ancients are all fought on the battlefield. Let the court’s general take the lead and wait for the war to break out before being promoted and replaced.

Anyway, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was not a powerful country, and it was equally corrupt inside, so it was just right to use it to train new recruits. "

It seems that Li Mu said it lightly. If the sponsorship is not enough, it will never be so simple to borrow money.

There is no such thing as the "Xizheng" character. The so-called spoils are purely a "painting cake" that is visible and intangible.

The most tragic thing is the "painted pie" that Li Mu took out, which doesn't look delicious at all.

Eastern Chagatai Khanate, what the **** is that?

In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, it is a proper poor country. Not to mention the bad weather, the key is that most of the land is not suitable for farming.

Especially after the Ottoman Empire blocked the land-based Silk Road, Central Asia became increasingly worthless.

Unless the army of the Western Expedition can turn to the south and enter India, or go all the way to the west to kill the Ottoman Empire, it will truly reap the rewards.

This is what Li Mu saw in his eyes. Most people don't know what the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is, let alone India and the Ottoman Empire.

In this context, if you don't use some thunderous tactics, and you want everyone to pay for it, how can it be possible?

…

On the banks of the West Lake, the newly rescued let me go, was directly confused by the chaotic situation of the rivers and lakes.

Looking at the world's master rankings, Master Ren couldn't believe his eyes. Fortunately, Tianbang said, the unique Li Dazhen, there is nothing to doubt.

After reading the rankings, I can't calm down anymore. There are 63 names recorded in the above. The court has the largest number of people on the list, occupying a full 15 places.

Followed by the Five Mountains Alliance, Buddhism, Shaolin, and Wudang, there are at least seven people, and the huge number directly frightens the leader of Ren.

Even the Sun Moon God Sect, which he established with his own hands, now has five people on the list. Except for one person who was cultivated by the East Undefeated, the remaining three people didn't know where it came from.

Not only was there a large number of masters, but even the ranking of masters made Ren Woxing very worried. He, the former Sun Moon God Sect leader, was actually squeezed to the 14th place.

At any rate, it is also a generation of heroes. Although it is a failed hero, letting me go is still not a simple thing. After forcing myself to calm down, he rushed to Wentian and asked:

"Brother Xiang, who is this Baixiaosheng in the world, and why is he qualified to make this list?

With such a **** and unreasonable list, why can people in the world be convinced? "

Looking at Ren Woxing's face, Xiang Wentian explained helplessly: "The leader, the origin of Baixiaosheng in Jianghu is very mysterious, and no one knows his true identity.

Because the contents of the several lists he released were too detailed, and most of the contents were confirmed by others, most people in the arena guessed that it was the imperial court.

In addition, the Huashan, Shaolin, Wudang factions and the aristocratic alliance are also the targets of everyone's suspicion.

Many forces in the arena have conducted investigations, but Bai Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes disappears every time and never leaves any traces.

On the contrary, many people who pretended to be Bai Xiaosheng in the world were caught. It's a pity that everything was confirmed in the end that these people had nothing to do with Bai Xiaosheng, and they were purely to provoke disputes and plant faults. "

As if he didn't see Ren Woxing's ugly face, Linghu Chong on the side added with no wink: "Senior Ren, there is actually no need to doubt about the content on the list.

All major forces in the arena have been checked, and there is hardly any discrepancy. I also heard from Master that Bai Xiaosheng in Jianghu may be a martial arts expert who is proficient in calculation.

Because of this master ranking, many challenges have occurred in the arena. But the result of the final challenge is exactly the same as the ranking on the list.

Except for some of the mysterious people recorded above, such as the four great monks of Shaolin, all other masters with names and surnames have been confirmed. "

Hearing this explanation, I was annoyed and let me do it, slapped the table in front of me with a violent slap, and his eyes were full of murderous aura.

Ren Yingying on the side hurriedly stood in front of Linghu Chong and explained, "Daddy, Brother Chong is true.

I am in the religion of God, and I have also heard Dongfang Unbeaten mention the Jianghu Baixiaosheng, and my tone is full of strong jealousy and appreciation.

But with the strength of the gods, he still hadn't even touched the shadow of Bai Xiaosheng, as if this person had never existed. "

I turned my anger back, but I did not want to really kill Linghu Chong. At the moment when he wants to make a comeback, he can't bear to destroy the Great Wall when he lacks masters.

After calming down, Ren Woxing began to consider his own situation.

If there is no problem with the ranking, he is a guy who can't make it into the top ten, UU reading www. uukanshu. If com wants to engage in storms in the arena, it is simply dying, let alone seeking revenge from the East.

The current Eastern leader is still working hard to break through his innateness. He has no intention to embroider at all, so he doesn't give him the opportunity to take advantage of it at all.

As far as this group of people is concerned, it is not to say that they went to the Shiwan Dashan to kill the East Undefeated. I am afraid that they did not even see the unbeaten face of the East, so they were beaten to death by their younger brother.

The best way, and the only feasible way, is to kill with a knife. Only by instigating a battle between good and evil can the East be killed with the help of the power of righteousness.

There is only one big trouble, which is my own foundation. Whether you want to admit it or not, you must admit that the invincibility of the East is the capital of the Sun-Moon Divine Sect.

Without this big boss sitting in town, relying on him, the 14th-ranked fellow, would not be able to hold on even if he regained his foundation.

Not only the foundation cannot be protected, but even his personal safety is not guaranteed. Once he shows up, all factions of the Righteous Path will never mind, using the head of his old demon to brush up on their prestige.
