Chapter 259 Thirty Years Passed in the Blink of an Eye (1/2)
Under the leadership of Taishi Mingzhen, many monks from the Five Elements Sect also joined the Great Shang team. The Great Shang army already had powerful monster cavalry, and now with the support of enough monks, the speed of going south to annex the Great Xia Dynasty has accelerated a lot.
Feng Tianzong was busy transforming the wheat trees in the rear. With him controlling the formation to call for energy, the transformation speed would be much faster.
Feng Tianzong also thought that if all the warriors in the country could eat this kind of spiritual wheat in the future, maybe they would not need those inferior pills such as Baicao Dan and Chixue Dan in the future.
Those pills can be used to feed pigs, which can also be regarded as increasing the production of wild boar knights. Feeding with spiritual wheat is still a bit extravagant.
Soon there was good news from the front line. Under the leadership of Queen Taishi Mingzhen, the Great Shang army swept across the world. After taking down the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, the rest of the places were conquered one after another.
Feng Tianzong originally thought that the remaining disciples from the sects who came down the mountain to fight for the dragon should still struggle to their death. After all, if they hold on for one more day, they can enjoy one more day of luck. However, what Feng Tianzong did not expect was that these sect forces retreated one after another after facing Tai Shi Mingzhen and her disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
The Five Elements Sect is also a large sect that is not much weaker than the Ten Thousand Laws Sect. It is also a mainstream sect of law cultivation. Now the Five Elements Sect has obviously stood on Feng Tianzong's side.
Feng Tianzong was born in the Puppet Sect. Once the catastrophe started, the Five Elements Sect and the Puppet Sect would be natural allies in this catastrophe.
Although the two sides had not negotiated, at this point in time, Tai Shi Mingzhen appeared in the army of the Great Shang with the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, which had already shown their attitude.
Many things do not need to be said clearly, but an attitude is put forward, and others already know what to do. Some things do not need to be said too clearly. It is enough to know it tacitly.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This sentence is also the same in the sect.
In the past, the Five Elements Sect stood on the side of the Ten Thousand Law Sect. Everyone was a law cultivator. In order to make the law cultivator the mainstream of the immortal world, they were natural allies.
However, in this great catastrophe of heaven and earth, the Five Elements Sect and the Ten Thousand Law Sect were obviously going to part ways. Every great catastrophe of heaven and earth is a redistribution of interests.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you." Feng Tianzong was eating breakfast with the service of several concubines when he saw a palace maid come in to report.
"Then let him in!" Feng Tianzong took his hand out of Xiang Yijing's clothes and said seriously.
Although Wang Mingyuan is the leader of the civil officials in Da Shang today, he is still old after all. And he has not cultivated any results in martial arts. Now he looks a little old.
When Feng Tianzong met him, he was still a corrupt official in the Great Xia Dynasty. At that time, Wang Mingyuan was already in his thirties and almost forty.
Now more than twenty years have passed, and Wang Mingyuan is already in his sixties. However, because of the power in his hands, he looked energetic.
"Your Majesty." Wang Mingyuan saluted respectfully. Although he was the first person to follow the emperor in Da Shang for so many years, he was very sensible and always treated Feng Tianzong with respect.
"Get up, Prime Minister, you came so early today, is there something important?" Feng Tianzong asked.
"Your Majesty, I really have a good thing. The Queen has taken down the capital of Da Xia Dynasty with the help of many monks and the willingness of soldiers to serve.
Our Da Shang has replaced Da Xia as the master of this land. It is a day of celebration for all the people. First, I congratulate Your Majesty, and second, I want to ask Your Majesty, now that the world is unified, where should our Da Shang country be established?
The ministers' opinion is that the northern border is still too remote after all. Should we enter the Central Plains?" Wang Mingyuan asked.
Feng Tianzong thought about it, and finally shook his head and said: "No need to bother, the capital should still be here. There is no need to change it.
Besides, wheat trees are planted here, and monster breeding farms are also here. These things are the foundation of my Great Shang and the most important things for Great Shang."
The Central Plains is only the Central Plains of Daxia, not the Central Plains of the entire mortal world. From the perspective of topography, Daxia is also located in the south of the entire mortal world.
Feng Tianzong thought that he would occupy the entire mortal world in the future. When the entire mortal world is taken over, the northern border will become the center of the entire mortal world.
"Your Majesty, since we are not moving the capital, do we still need to hold a larger enthronement ceremony? After all, our Great Shang has unified the world. In this process of unification, many people have worked hard and made great contributions. It is time to plan for merit." Wang Mingyuan said.
"Then hold one. You will sort out the merits and report to me when the time comes. We can hold it on the Golden Terrace." Feng Tianzong said casually.
He actually didn't care much about this kind of thing. Feng Tianzong had conferred titles once before, and that time, all the people conferred titles were his fellow apprentices. This time was different. This time, he was going to do a big one, and confer titles on all the meritorious people in the entire Shang Dynasty.
There were civil officials and military generals, and many of them were of ordinary origin. Every time there was a fight for the dragon in the world of cultivation, it was to give the mortals below a chance to defy the will of heaven and change their fate.
Things were explained one by one in an orderly manner. Generally, these state affairs were handled by Wang Mingyuan. Xiang Yijing and Jin Jinyun, two imperial concubines, assisted.
However, now that the Queen has led the army to the south and made great contributions, she naturally wants to promote a group of her own people. They feel that their status is threatened, so they ran to Feng Tianzong to report the matter.
At the same time, they also took this opportunity to ask Feng Tianzong about the handling of the next government affairs. This is not just Wang Mingyuan's business. The whole court is watching to see whether Feng Tianzong is still willing to hand over all the power to Wang Mingyuan, the prime minister, to handle it.
This is clearly done for the people on the Queen's side to see. Let those people under the Queen see, and also for the officials below to see that his position as prime minister is still as stable as Mount Tai, and His Majesty the Emperor still trusts him.
Dashang held a grand triumphal ceremony to welcome the Queen Tai Shi Mingzhen and the army's triumphal return.
Feng Tianzong personally led the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome Tai Shi Mingzhen.
"Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" When the 400,000-man army saw Feng Tianzong, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, they all knelt down and paid homage.
The Heavenly Destiny Bird behind Feng Tianzong also showed its figure, spreading its wings and soaring in the wind behind him.
"Soldiers, you have worked hard. I will not forget your contributions, and the people of the Shang Dynasty will not forget them either. Those who have made contributions will definitely be rewarded accordingly." Feng Tianzong said loudly.
Although his voice was not loud, it instantly reached the ears of everyone present.
"The Heavenly Destiny Bird descended and gave birth to the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty is invincible!" Someone in the army shouted excitedly. At first, one person shouted, followed by a group of people shouting, and finally everyone was shouting.
Not only the army was shouting, but the people who came to watch the excitement were also shouting.
The national destiny of the Shang Dynasty also rose in response to these shouts. This is the gathering of people's hearts.
Thirty years have passed in a flash.
Feng Tianzong chose to attend the morning court, which was rare. The current prime minister was still Wang Mingyuan. After the Great Shang unified the world, Feng Tianzong gave Wang Mingyuan a longevity pill in order to make merit, which extended his life by twenty years.
Moreover, there was no shortage of various resources in these years. Although Wang Mingyuan was old, he successfully practiced martial arts to the level of innateness, and his life span naturally increased.
Thirty years later, Wang Mingyuan looked younger than before. Perhaps this is the reason for his high spirits. Looking back at the forty years of the Great Shang regime. His influence has already spread to all areas of the Great Shang.
Today, in the Great Shang, wheat trees have already expanded to four plantations in the northern border. After the annual harvest of spiritual wheat, it is enough to supply the people of the whole country of the Great Shang. However, Feng Tianzong did not provide it to all the people, but chose to supply it only to the warriors.
Ordinary people still farm and raise livestock. It is not that Feng Tianzong does not want to promote it, but the planting conditions of wheat trees are relatively harsh and cannot be promoted to the whole country. It can only be planted by special people in several specific plantations.
The monster farm no longer breeds the lowest level monster, the giant gray wolf. The strength of this giant gray wolf is still too low. It is simply a shame among monsters. It can still be successful against the army of mortals.
The next opponent of Da Shang will no longer be mortals, but the entire cultivation world, the cultivators in the cultivation world, so the strength of these giant gray wolves is a bit too low.
Now the mainstream mounts among the monster cavalry of Da Shang have long become stone armor pig heavy cavalry, and the wolf cavalry is mainly moon wolf. On the contrary, the giant gray wolf that was vigorously bred by Feng Tianzong at the beginning has now completely become meat.
As a precious meat for warriors to practice. Feng Tianzong is also deliberately cultivating the strength of warriors. This is a path that everyone can take.
What Feng Tianzong wants to do is to make the cultivators no longer high and mighty, but like mortals, all included in the rule of Da Shang.
He has been making these preparations over the years. Cultivate warriors and establish monster cavalry. The current Shang Dynasty has 3 million soldiers, including 1 million monster cavalry.
All of them have refined battle formations, which can concentrate the power of all the troops in the hands of the commander, and exert unimaginable power.
Feng Tianzong specially refined a battle formation diagram for the army, which can allow the commander to control this huge power through the battle formation diagram. Even a mortal can use the army to gather the power of everyone and exert the power of a Jindan cultivator.
This battle formation diagram was improved by Feng Tianzong based on the battle formation of the Taoist soldiers after his knowledge of battle formations was improved. Once the battle formation of the soldiers is out, it can concentrate the blood and qi of the warriors of the whole army, and use the national destiny of the dynasty to suppress the use of magic spells.
When 10,000 innate warriors use the battle formation, they can borrow the power of the national destiny black bird to completely suppress the foundation-building cultivators, so that the magical spells of the foundation-building cultivators cannot be used at all. In front of these soldiers, they are like ordinary people, allowing them to be slaughtered.
Thirty years later, the puppet workshop of Da Shang has expanded hundreds of times, and the raw materials are no longer in short supply. Now every household can have their own iron and wood puppet.
There are also bone spirit armors. Basically, Da Shang’s elite soldiers can have one each. Among the bone armors made of these bone spirit puppets, of course, are ordinary bone puppets without the seeds of magical power.
But even ordinary bone armor is enough to raise the strength of the innate warrior to the foundation-building stage, and with the help of bone armor, the warrior can fly.
Finally, there is the weapon refining workshop, which has now expanded to the whole country. Low-level magic weapons have already formed an assembly line to equip all soldiers.
The third sister and the uncles and uncles have also retired from Dashang and returned to the sect. After all, the mortal world is not suitable for them. After the annexation of the Great Xia Dynasty, they proposed to return to the sect, and Feng Tianzong did not force them to stay.
Feng Tianzong also accumulated 20 million years of tax revenue in his hands and did not use it. However, in these 30 years, he also refined a Wanzhongshan again. This Wanzhongshan was directly refined into a 108-fold forbidden innate spiritual treasure. With Feng Tianzong's current cultivation, he couldn't even use it.
But it doesn't matter. He has enough time in his hands. When the time is right, after declaring war on the entire cultivation world, he can improve his own cultivation in an instant.
The strength of Da Shang is not weak now, because Feng Tianzong has cultivated martial arts at all costs for thirty years, and the road of martial arts has also made great progress. Now there are martial arts masters who can compete with foundation-building cultivators.
In Da Shang, the days when any Qi-refining cultivator could be superior to the ordinary people are gone. Qi-refining cultivators are not really considered as figures in Da Shang now. Any soldier in the city guards of Da Shang is a congenital warrior who can be compared with Qi-refining cultivators.
Da Shang also has military formations to compete with Jindan cultivators. Only Yuanying cultivators, Feng Tianzong has not thought of a way to fight.
If a war breaks out with the Xiuxian world, he can only rely on puppets to fight against the Yuanying cultivators of the entire Xiuxian world. But he does not have precious materials such as gold crystals to refine gold crystal puppets that can fight against Yuanying cultivators.
Feng Tianzong can only use taxation to pile up the Bone Spirit Puppets and push their strength to the Nascent Soul stage. Although they are relatively weak among the Nascent Souls, Feng Tianzong can completely make up for the lack of quality with quantity.
