Chapter 1008 World Passage
In the fertile land of Shenzhou, the inland area, the northeast direction, and Hongzhou, a three-way zone, a brand-new idea - democracy is brewing now.
More than half a year has passed, and it seems that the original Spark of Fire Trading Company has really achieved the state of starting a prairie fire.
The Xinghuo Commercial Firm at the beginning has now become the Xinghuo Group. With the support of merchants and elites from Shangguo, Xinghuo Group has become the tenth largest force in Hongzhou by virtue of its industrial and commercial advantages, and continues to maintain rapid development .
In addition to the power supported by the three surrounding countries, there are also several relatively large sects and families; but in contrast, the Xinghuo Group has risen rapidly and has unlimited vitality, sweeping Hongzhou with an unstoppable attitude.
In terms of business, Xinghuo Group has become the largest commercial group in Hongzhou. Its products cover a wide range of products, from ordinary grains, to more exotic munitions, steel machinery, war machines, and very precious cultivation resources, including the extremely scarce outside world. The liquid spiritual energy, spiritual materials, elixir and so on.
The emergence of these commodities allowed the Spark Group to influence and even indirectly control the situation in Hongzhou from a commercial point of view.
In terms of ideology, the chaotic Hongzhou ushered in a new ideology—democratic ideology; this kind of ideology is not the ideology of spiritual practice, but the ideology of national construction and civilization. This kind of thinking is like poison, which cannot be extinguished at all, and more and more people are beginning to accept this kind of thinking.
Accept this idea and fight for it; many oppressed slaves, civilians, low-level practitioners, even small families, small sects, etc., have joined the camp of "democratic ideas" and promoted this new trend of thought expansion.
This is a bottom-up change, showing strong vitality at the beginning, and it is spreading rapidly. Especially after accepting the idea of democracy, he can still get a lot of support from the Spark Group at a low price, which makes the situation even more uncontrollable.
Around Hongzhou, several countries were the first to be impacted, and the imperial power was shaken! It's not that countries have never killed the top executives of the Xinghuo Group, but there are indeed masters in the Xinghuo Group, as well as Sanxian! And even if the high-level executives of the Xinghuo Group were killed by sniping, the ideas would have spread out after all.
There are even many Sanxians, Sanxiu masters, etc., who have thrown themselves into the wave of democratic thought. And the Spark Group is the core of this idea, and has already begun to try to establish a "liberated area".
In the back of Hongzhou, in the remote place in the past, the Xinghuo Group has established a brand new residential area, with a vast area of hundreds of kilometers. Here, not only the liberated area, but also the big backyard and industrial production center of Xinghuo Group.
The establishment of the liberated area means that the Spark Group has gained a firm foothold. It also means that a pawn arranged by Li Xian has finally taken root!
The idea of democracy is a sharp knife that pierces directly into the heart of the fertile China; and it has penetrated into the bone marrow and is difficult to remove. Waiting for the fertile land of China will be a storm of ideas.
Compared with the "pseudo-democratic" constitutional monarchy of the Shang Dynasty, what Li Xian taught to more than 3,000 people including Lan Yunhe was real and absolute democracy, a bottom-up revolution.
Li Xian doesn't even know what kind of storm this kind of democratic thought will cause, and it's just an experiment; he just doesn't know if those with vested interests in Fertile China will scold her.
…………
Xiang State and three relatively large military planes landed slowly, while Yuan Yong and other Shang State delegations walked out slowly. Xuantian, the emperor of Xiang Kingdom, came to pick him up with a bit of shame on his face.
Hua Jieyu was in charge when he surrendered, but now that he has formally surrendered, it is necessary for Master Xuantian to come forward.
As soon as they met, Yuan Yong laughed, with a very cheerful smile: 'Xuantian Zhenren, we meet again. I remember that you were the first to establish a mercenary group in Shang country, and you were also the first mercenary group in Shang country. What, you don't want to be an emperor anymore, but want to go back to be a mercenary? '
Master Xuantian was a little annoyed at first, but when he heard what Yuan Yong said later, his heart moved: "Yes, it is better to be a mercenary in the Shang Kingdom. In Xiangguo, it is said to be an emperor, but I have never enjoyed being an emperor for a day." life.
Since he came to take over the throne, he has been fighting until now.
I just don't know, if I want to return to the country of Shang to be a mercenary, what are the conditions? "
Yuan Yong smiled happily, this real Xuantian seems to be on the road. "Actually, there are no conditions. Compared with the merits and demerits, everything is easy to say if the credit is great. I just don't know if the current Xiang State can fully compensate the losses of the Shang State? Can it be recognized by the people of the Shang State?"
"Yes!" Master Xuantian felt bitter in his heart, but on the surface he agreed very simply. The taste of failure is not good, and as a loser, Master Xuantian doesn't have many choices.
Yuan Yong, on the other hand, "made an inch of progress", and started to confront each other at the airport before formal negotiations: "I don't know what kind of sincerity Xiangguo has prepared?"
Master Xuantian smiled lightly: "Everyone has come from a long way, how about we go sightseeing in the fields of Hunan?"
What the hell is a field trip? However, Yuan Yong did not refuse. After seeing the fields of Xiang Country, Yuan Yong understood the meaning of coming to the fields—here, there is an endless fertile land!
In this drought-stricken Yingzhou, having such a piece of fertile land is indeed a huge benefit, enough to atone for the sin of Hunan—but that was in the past!
Not long ago, there was heavy rain in the Shang country, and the prosperous Shang country had entered the stage of harvest; therefore, the land in Xiang country would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
After Yuan Yong said these things, Master Xuantian was stunned for a moment, and then his face became a little depressed. This was the biggest 'sincerity' he had prepared, but now this sincerity is worthless. The weather in Shangguo has started to be smooth, and it is natural to discount here.
"This level of sincerity is not enough!" Yuan Yong looked at Master Xuantian, and there seemed to be a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
Master Xuantian gritted his teeth, and finally began to show other sincerity. In the end, Master Xuantian had a heated discussion with Yuan Yong and their respective teams.
Xiang State seems to have surrendered unconditionally, but Shang State has to show "magnanimity" appropriately, at least to set a good example for the countries that will surrender in the future. This negotiation is destined to be extremely long.
…………
At this time, in the distant ancient holy world, the world numbered 11278 in the Shang Dynasty, was also experiencing a storm. The Zixia Dynasty, which was almost dying at the beginning, rose rapidly after receiving the airborne support from the Shang Kingdom. The Zixia Dynasty not only defeated the original enemy, but also expanded rapidly.
Today, relying on the power of industry and technology, the Zixia Dynasty has expanded to a radius of ten thousand miles, becoming the most powerful country in the ancient holy world, bar none. Not only that, but now the Zixia Dynasty has a preliminary industrial and technological foundation; as for education, it has already achieved preliminary popularization.
Just last month, the Zixia Dynasty's first steam engine rail train was officially put into trial operation. When the power of industry and steel began to roar, the emperors of the Zixia Dynasty felt infinite splendor.
Since then, the emperors of the Zixia Dynasty, who had power in their hands, had different thoughts—relying on a series of new policies, including the power of industry and commerce, the emperors of the Zixia Dynasty discovered that nobles are no longer necessary for a country, and even nobles The existence of the country itself seriously curbs the country's development to a higher level.
With strength, ideas, and understanding, the emperors of the Zixia Dynasty finally killed them, and a large number of nobles were "reduced"; now, 90% of the nobles of the Zixia Dynasty have lost their real power and only retained their false names; and In the process, some recalcitrant elements were killed.
Inaction during the war has become a fatal problem for the old nobles. This alone caused the emperors of the Zixia Dynasty to cut off the rights of most nobles. Then promote new talents, meritorious officials, etc., to further squeeze out the right to speak of the nobles. Finally, by way of examination, a large number of people are selected from the people to supplement the grassroots.
After completing these three steps, the rights of the Zixia Dynasty basically have nothing to do with nobles. In particular, the dynasty now has a strong military force, which makes the nobles dare not speak out.
The Ancient Sacred Realm is different from the Immortal Realm. The Ancient Sacred Realm is a subsidiary world, and there are not many masters. Therefore, the power of arms has brought great power to the Zixia Dynasty.
Now, the emperor of the Zixia Dynasty feels that he is already good enough, so he has a new idea. This new idea is - contact Shang Dynasty! Well, right now, the Zixia Dynasty doesn’t know that the Shang Dynasty has survived the catastrophe and has been upgraded to become a Shang Dynasty, so it is still called the ‘Shang Dynasty’.
But these are small things, the real big thing is that the emperor of the Zixia Dynasty has found a way to the Immortal Realm. At this time, the emperor of the Zixia Dynasty didn't know where the exit from the ancient holy world to the fairyland was, and he didn't know how big the fairyland was, but he thought that as long as he connected to the fairyland, it shouldn't be difficult to find the Shang Dynasty; Before the Shang Dynasty, it would be very good to find other countries and so on.
And the way to the fairyland is to open the "world channel". Different from Immortal Realm, in the subsidiary world, there is a 'world channel' that connects to the main world. But under normal circumstances, this world passage is closed and located in the center of the subsidiary world, and it is not an easy matter to open the world passage.
However, perhaps the current Zixia Dynasty has the ability to open this passage, open this door to another world.
In fact, the Zixia Dynasty is close to the center of the ancient holy world, and in the middle of the ancient holy world is a "peaceful zone". There are thousands of miles around here, and the surroundings seem to be very peaceful, but there are many masters gathered in this place.
As a channel to connect with the main world, it seems that some laws of the main world can be felt here, which will benefit a lot for experts. It's just that no master has been able to open this channel so far.
The passage, in mid-air, is a faintly visible gate that looks like light clouds, almost hundreds of feet high, and looks like two doors; there seems to be a faintly visible chain on the gate—that is formed by law.
The entire gate looks like a dream, not so real; but everyone knows that this is the gate to the main world. Just wanting to open this door requires a lot of supplies, a lot of experts, a lot of... living souls! Especially the soul of a master, because the soul of a master still has a certain power of law.
Oh, there is also a need for a person who understands sacrifices and can communicate with heaven and earth.
But today, the peace here was broken. The army of the Zixia Dynasty came rolling in; in the army, tens of thousands of masters were detained. These masters are all captives of masters conquered by the Zixia Dynasty. Now, the captives will make a "significant contribution" to the world's communication.
The masters gathered here saw this, but they dared not say anything; the current Zixia Dynasty is terrible, there are tens of thousands of masters above the Xiantian (equivalent to Jindan) in the country, and the number of masters in the Guiyuan (Huangshen) realm There are hundreds of them, even if they are masters in the legendary Yuandan (Dongxu) realm, there are several of them.
Such a Zixia dynasty has become the most powerful force in the ancient holy world, and no master dares to provoke it casually. What's more, being able to open the world channel is also what many experts expect.
A priest stepped out of the Zixia Dynasty team and began to set up an altar. After a while, a large number of masters were put on the altar, their heads rolled down one by one, blood was flowing, and their souls were absorbed by the high-altitude world passage.
The souls of a large number of masters carried the power of alternative laws, which temporarily made up for the lack of the laws of the small world. The gate began to gradually clear and tremble, and the chains on the gate seemed to be clanging.
In the rear, thousands of masters of the Zixia Dynasty soared into the sky, sword lights slashed towards the chains, sparks shot out, and the clanging sound made the world tremble. After a while, sporadic masters nearby also joined the array.
The prisoners were killed one by one, and the death of each prisoner could make the high-altitude gate clear. There are countless masters attacking around, the chains on the gate are gradually fading, and the trembling is getting stronger.
In the blink of an eye, in two days, more than 20,000 captives who were more than the day after tomorrow were beheaded on the altar, and the blood has formed a lake;
Finally, the chain blocked in front of the gate shrunk to the thickness of a finger, and several sword lights swept across it, cutting it off completely with a clang. The gate began to creak and open, but it seemed too heavy and the opening speed was too slow; and in front of the gate, the severed chain seemed to be slowly recovering.
"Liquid spiritual energy!" The general of the Zixia Dynasty roared, and immediately a large amount of liquid spiritual energy was injected into the altar, and then a spiritual light shot up into the sky and hit the gate directly.
But the gate opened to the rear with a bang; then the gate fell down with a bang, split the earth and the mountain peak, embedded in the mountain peak, a passage completely composed of blue clouds extended to the end of the world, and then disappeared into the air out of thin air.
Almost at the same time, mountains and rivers suddenly trembled in the south of the Shang Kingdom, the hometown of the Bian Kingdom, and the north of the Eastern Capital. Under the surprised eyes of countless people, a mountain suddenly collapsed. distortion.
For a while, I don't know how many masters were alarmed. Fortunately, in the mountains, and no casualties.
This sudden change aroused the vigilance of the Shang army; a large number of troops and masters immediately surrounded the place. When the dust fell from the sky, they saw a hundred-foot-tall gate that was completely composed of blue clouds, appearing among the broken rocks. A staircase also composed of blue clouds disappeared deep in the gate.
