Chapter 771 Rise 1

When the north of Yingzhou was in chaos, there was a country in the south of Yingzhou that was rising strongly. This country is the Lone Bamboo Country!

History is always full of countless surprises, surprises, and changes. Speaking of which, the rise of the Lone Bamboo Kingdom is also thanks to the Kingdom of Shang!

Years ago, the Shang Kingdom's returning fleet bombed it, which actually opened up obstacles for the Lone Bamboo Kingdom to advance.

Ji Sheng, Lingyin (Prime Minister) of Guzhu Kingdom, was also a real statesman. He even used the death of a large number of noble disciples to create the illusion of "imperial bravery", and aroused the hope and confidence of the people in one fell swoop, and stimulated the patriotism and wealth of the people. , and then Lone Bamboo Country began to embark on the road to a strong country.

With role models and generous rewards, in just seven or eight months, the Lone Bamboo Country has pushed several countries across the board. A large number of new officials and generals were promoted, which formed a virtuous circle again, so that Guzhu Kingdom became stronger as it fought more and more.

Inspired by the original artillery attack, Guzhu Kingdom began to use a large number of ordnance. Although there is no technology of the Shang Kingdom, the fairyland has accumulated for millions of years, and what is lacking is only a little guidance. With guidance, Lone Bamboo Country developed rapidly.

Now the Lone Bamboo Country has begun to gradually simplify the traditional cultivation methods and refining methods, forming an alternative industrial system.

Simple and crude instruments have become the necessary equipment for every soldier. The function of this crude magic weapon is to "explode itself". The power produced by the self-detonation of the magic weapon should not be underestimated. The power of the self-detonation of the magic weapon is enough to seriously injure a young master in the foundation building stage.

In fact, the foundation building period is already the elite class of the general country. Several countries dare to say that all our armies were formed during the Foundation Establishment period. An army can be called elite if all of them are above the level left in the Qi refining period.

An army formed entirely during the foundation building period would only be able to do so with the Royal Forest Army of a few countries.

Moreover, the Lone Bamboo Country is located in the south, in the south of the Five Ridges, and this is a world of evil ways. Many of the magic instruments in Guzhu Kingdom are made of human bones.

There is no choice in the interior, but there are no other materials. Resources such as black iron, red copper, spirit stones, monsters, etc. have long been scarce resources; obviously scarce resources cannot meet the needs of the army. Naturally, the army would look for new resources.

In the end, Lone Bamboo Country chose—the Cultivator. Kill the cultivators of the enemy country, obtain materials, and then kill the enemy...

This is a virtuous circle, but it is also a demonic circle. But in the south, in the Lingnan region, and in this evil world, people don't really dislike this practice, because everyone is doing it.

As for the pain, remorse, curse, etc. of those who were killed, no one cares at all-everyone dies, everything is gone. As for leaving the soul or something, don't even think about it. There are soul wizards who are in charge of souls with the army.

This morning, a court meeting was being held here in the Lone Bamboo Kingdom. At this time, the court hall of the Guzhu Kingdom has more than doubled in size; a large part of the reason why it has expanded so much is because a large number of newcomers have been promoted in Guzhu.

Most of these newcomers were promoted because of their military exploits. This is also the emperor's means to promote newcomers and squeeze the living space of the elderly, thereby consolidating the imperial power.

Among them, Gu Fanglong, the grand master of the left, became the political representative of the newcomers instead.

It is said that last year, Gu Hai, the son of Zuo Grand Master Gu Fanglong, led a group of young masters from the imperial capital to play in Baisha Town, but was bombarded by artillery directed by Chang Lin, which eventually led to the death of a half of the sons of Guzhu Kingdom, and the death of two princes. A prince is disabled.

In the end, Gu Hai was also tricked by Ling Yin Jisheng and sent to the sea to feed the fish. By the way, the whole family of Grand Master Zuo Gu Fanglong was pushed into the sea.

Now Gu Fanglong is already alone, but Gu Fanglong is not a good person, and he just has no worries. Gu Fanglong is also ruthless, and he resolutely becomes the leader of the political newcomers in Guzhu Kingdom, fighting against Ling Yin.

At this time, in the court hall, Grand Master Zuo Gu Fanglong stood on one side, behind him was the upstart of Guzhu Kingdom; Ling Yin Jisheng stood on the side, behind him was the old nobleman of Guzhu Kingdom. The two sides stared at each other and refused to admit defeat.

"Your Majesty is here!" With a singing voice, the hall immediately fell into a bottleneck, and the emperor of the Lone Bamboo Kingdom came step by step.

"Long live Your Majesty." The officials bowed their waists to greet.

"Everyone loves you." The Emperor of the Guzhu Kingdom sat down and said directly: "There are two things to discuss today.

The first thing is that the Vientiane Kingdom in the north has relatively strong resistance, and the war has dragged on for too long, which has already affected our strategic planning.

The second thing is that the personnel who went to the north to explore finally returned, and we finally knew who caused us serious and serious harm. It was a country called "Shang Kingdom". And we also purchased some basic military technology from the countries surrounding the Kingdom of Shang. "

All the officials in the main hall suddenly erupted, and soon they all spoke in unison:

The veteran aristocrats represented by Ling Yin Jisheng immediately said—let's send an elite team to attack that Shang Kingdom.

But the emerging nobles represented by Zuo Taishi Gu Fanglong said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is not too late for a cultivator to take revenge for a hundred years! Our top priority is to strengthen the country, strengthen the country, and use the technology purchased from the North to develop and strengthen our country.

As long as the country is strong in the future, isn't it easy to do what you want to do!

There was a quarrel in the hall, and everyone had a point.

And the emperor of the Guzhu Kingdom also had a bit of a headache - if he didn't take revenge, the old nobles would definitely not be reconciled, and there would be chaos; and he was also not reconciled, two princes were killed and one prince was disabled, this hatred must not be let go.

But if they take revenge, it will inevitably affect the current military progress, and affect the expansion and consolidation of the country.

The most correct approach should be to temporarily abandon hatred and concentrate on developing the country and expanding the military. But...but how can political matters be so simple!

If it continues to develop and expand, the emerging aristocracy will inevitably rise and completely overwhelm the established aristocrats. At that time, the country does not know what changes will happen. The fall of power is almost an inevitable change.

Therefore, from a political point of view, it is necessary to support the old nobles and hold the hearts of the old nobles in their hands.

However, if the old nobles are supported too much, the emerging nobles will be alienated. These emerging aristocrats haven't formed enough foundation, and without foundation, there is no loyalty at all.

In the cultivation environment of Xianyu, it is a very common thing to run away. Cultivation, no matter what kind of practice, is essentially for oneself.

When the Emperor of the Guzhu Kingdom was having a headache, someone suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, we have discovered the fleet, the fleet of the Shang Kingdom. The fleet of the Shang Kingdom has just passed the Skeleton Sea and is coming towards us along the coastline."

"What!" The Emperor of the Lone Bamboo Kingdom immediately stood up, but then he was overjoyed, offering pillows when he fell asleep, and quilts when it was cold. The Shang Kingdom's fleet appeared, so timely!

Immediately, the Emperor of the Guzhu Kingdom asked: "How many ships are coming? Can you understand the battle situation? How many masters above the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, because the distance is too far, I can't see clearly for the time being. I can only see a piece of ships, at least stretching for more than fifty miles, and the waves are pushed and rolled by the fleet.

The largest of these ships was almost bigger than the palace.

Combat power, I'm afraid not to be underestimated. "

The Emperor of the Guzhu Kingdom thought for a while, "Explore again, we've found out! Also, make a good record on the jade slips."

"yes."

The guards left, and the discussion started again in the courtroom. This time, the veteran nobles represented by Ling Yin Jisheng began to get excited.

Ling Yin Jisheng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, we can definitely send experts to attack the so-called Shang Kingdom from the sea. In addition, as long as the opponent enters the waters around Baisha Town, we can completely stop these warships.

No matter how powerful the ship is, such a big ship is just a living target. "

The Emperor of the Lone Bamboo Kingdom was also excited, "Since the Kingdom of Shang sent the fleet to our doorstep, it would be a great apology for the other party's kindness not to accept it.

Ling Yin, I will leave this matter to you, and you must give me a satisfactory result! "

Ling Yin Jisheng immediately shouted: "I must do my best!"

Then, Ling Yin Jisheng looked at Gu Fanglong, the grand master on the left, and smiled complacently and a little sinisterly, "Grand master Gu, the enemy has come to our door again. I don't know what grand master Gu is going to do." Do?"

Gu Fanglong gritted his teeth, and snorted coldly, "Now my soldiers are expanding the territory, and I will leave this small matter to Ling Yin."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Ling Yin Jisheng smiled complacently.
