Chapter 263 Ultimatum (1/2)

"Your Majesty, Chen State sent a letter, saying that they wanted to save the people of both countries from the suffering of war and for peace.

They are willing to release the right of search and allow us to search for demons and monsters in Chen State. But the people are innocent, please do not kill innocent people in Chen State." Wang Mingyuan reported to Feng Tianzong with a smile.

Feng Tianzong also laughed when he heard this, which was quite interesting. It felt like as long as I don't resist, you have no reason to kill me.

"It seems that they want to stand on the moral high ground and delay time. I also want to see what the monks behind them will react.

Okay, then agree with them. The Shang army did not harm the people at all. All the gentry and wealthy families in Chen State were arrested as demon monks and their homes were directly confiscated." Feng Tianzong said.

With the non-resistance policy of the Chen royal family, the Shang army advanced faster. Originally, the gentry had some desperate resistance for their own lives, but with the order of the Chen royal family.

These gentry and wealthy families who wanted to fight to the death also understood the situation. Chen State was obviously unable to resist. No matter how much they resisted, it would only be like an egg hitting a stone. They might as well flee with their property.

Before the army of Da Shang arrived, those gentry and wealthy families far away took their families, property, and slaves to flee to the border.

The entire Chen State no longer had a place for these people, or in other words, the entire Da Shang no longer had a place for these people.

Some smart people simply took all their property and settled in some small mountain villages, without buying a lot of land, and became a small landlord. Under the rule of Da Shang, they could live a life without worries about food and drink, but if they wanted that kind of high position again, it would really require the efforts of the next generation.

Only those who could not see the situation clearly and hated Da Shang would flee to other countries. The journey was long, and the food and horse feed for a family was also a huge expense.

Even if these people have family heritage, it still takes several generations of efforts to integrate into the local gentry class in other countries.

In less than three months, the entire Chen Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the Shang Dynasty. General Wang Meng has already arrived at the capital of the Chen Kingdom.

The Emperor of the Chen Kingdom was anxious, but he was powerless to save the situation. He could only helplessly curse at the civil and military officials in the court. But at this time, what's the use of cursing?

"Your Majesty, I'm so happy. The ancestor has sent a letter." A eunuch ran over happily with a letter.

"The ancestor really did not give up the Chen Kingdom, and did not give up me." The Emperor of the Chen Kingdom happily took the letter.

"Good, great, the ancestor has convinced the Immortal Sect, and the people of the Immortal Sect will stand up for us and severely reprimand Feng Tianzong." The Emperor of the Chen Kingdom mentioned Feng Tianzong, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Feng Tianzong brazenly invaded our Chen State, killed so many innocent people, and made the Great Chen State almost lose its country. In the end, they just reprimanded him and that was it?

At least they should withdraw their troops and give us the corresponding compensation, right?" The Emperor of Chen said dissatisfiedly.

The Emperor of Chen was stupid, but the officials below were not stupid. It can be seen from the letters sent from the Immortal Sect that the Emperor of Da Shang was very powerful.

Even the Immortal Sect behind their Great Chen could not do anything to them. Their Chen State, it is very good to be able to save the country now, and they are still thinking about compensation. I am afraid they are not dreaming and have not woken up yet.

However, it is indeed a happy thing for their Great Chen to get a reply from the Immortal Sect. At least their lives are saved.

As long as the Great Chen is not destroyed, the lands that their family has confiscated will be taken back sooner or later. They are still very confident about this.

Feng Tianzong did welcome a cultivator in the Jindan period.

"Your Majesty, a cultivator from the Tianjian Sect came to ask for an audience, saying that he wanted to discuss the affairs of the State of Chen with Your Majesty." Wang Mingyuan walked into the palace quickly with a visiting card in his hand.

"How did it get to you?" Feng Tianzong asked curiously. As a Jindan cultivator, he sent the visiting card to a mortal, which felt a bit strange.

"Your Majesty, the other party did not dare to enter the imperial city of our Great Shang. There was a national destiny black bird suppressing the Weiyang Palace. He did not dare to fly over rashly, so he spent money to find a mortal to deliver the visiting card to the yamen. After the people below saw the visiting card, they hurriedly sent it to me." Wang Mingyuan explained.

Feng Tianzong raised his hand, and the visiting card in Wang Mingyuan's hand flew into his hand. It seems that his reputation in the world of immortal cultivation has become very cruel, making the other party's Jindan cultivators dare not enter the capital of his Great Shang.

Feng Tianzong opened it and saw that the words on it were very polite. He asked why they wanted to invade Chen State, and said that the sixteen mortal kingdoms were the plan of the major sects in the world of immortal cultivation. They could not be broken without authorization. As long as Feng Tianzong was willing to let the army of Dashang withdraw from Chen State, their Tianjian Sect could not pursue the matter.

Although the words on it were very polite and there was no threat in the words, Feng Tianzong knew that if Feng Tianzong did not withdraw his troops, the other party would go to the sects that originally established the rules in the world of immortal cultivation to complain.

Everyone made the rules together, so it must be a rule that is beneficial to everyone and needs to be maintained by everyone. The pattern of the sixteen mortal kingdoms has been maintained for tens of thousands of years.

Since the last catastrophe in the world of immortal cultivation, the secular world has maintained this pattern. It is also very convenient for each sect, whether it is recruiting disciples or sending disciples to participate in the dragon competition to gain luck.

Before doing this, Feng Tianzong had already prepared to turn against the entire world of immortal cultivation, so why would he be afraid of the other party's complaint?

However, since the other party sent a visiting card and acted according to reason, Feng Tianzong would not go too far. He also wrote a letter back to the other party.

"Brother Dao of Tianjian Sect, the rules of the sixteen countries in the secular world were established after the last catastrophe of heaven and earth. This system has long been rotten. Now that the catastrophe of heaven and earth has begun, it is time to change the rules of the secular world.

I, Feng Tianzong, am going to preside over the reform of the sixteen countries in the secular world this time. I hope to get the support of Tianjian Sect. If Tianjian Sect is willing to support Da Shang, then there will be a place for your Tianjian Sect in the future Da Shang." Feng Tianzong's letter can be said to be extremely arrogant.

Divine power: Eye of Exploration

Six hundred miles in radius, all in sight. That's right, Feng Tianzong's consciousness has been improved again, and the scope of exploration has been expanded accordingly. Because he successfully refined the White Bone Demon God in the late Nascent Soul stage, his consciousness has been trained.

The Jindan Taoist of Tianjian Sect has been waiting for Feng Tianzong's reply. He believes that Feng Tianzong can find him. He did not hide his body.

Feng Tianzong threw it casually. The letter he just wrote turned into a paper crane, flapping its wings and flying towards the Jindan cultivator. This is not a magical power, but a small spell, paper crane delivery.

It is a spell practiced by the disciples of the Five Elements Sect in the Refining Period. This spell cannot be cultivated into a magical power, and can only be used by disciples to send messages to each other. The distance cannot be too far.

For cultivators, this spell can only be regarded as a trick. But for ordinary people, this spell is already quite practical.

Feng Tianzong also asked for it from Queen Tai Shi Mingzhen a few years ago in order to develop Da Shang. He copied all the low-level spells and magical powers of the Five Elements Sect, and of course the low-level spells and magical powers of their Puppet Sect.

Although these low-level spells are not powerful enough, many warriors can use them, but warriors cannot cultivate these spells into magical powers.

In terms of power, there is no way to compare with cultivators, but many practical small spells are not for fighting, but only for convenience. It is also of great significance to mortals.

This flying crane letter was discovered by Feng Tianzong. Now in Da Shang, many innate warriors have learned this spell.

The Jindan cultivator of the Tianjian Sect saw a paper crane flying towards him. After flying in front of him, it naturally separated and turned into a piece of paper again, floating in front of him, so that he could see the handwriting on it clearly.

Just a hundred words, but he was sweating profusely. He reached out to take the paper and carefully put it into the storage bag. Although the words are few, the words about breaking the rules of the world of immortal cultivation are enough to move anyone.

He didn't know whether it was Feng Tianzong's arrogance or the idea of ​​the Puppet Sect behind him. If it was just Feng Tianzong's arrogance and ignorance of the world, it would be easy to deal with.

If it was the Puppet Sect's intention, it would be troublesome. It would inevitably set off a series of wars. The great catastrophe of heaven and earth is just around the corner.

Even if Feng Tianzong himself went crazy, they couldn't do anything, after all, behind Feng Tianzong stood the powerful Puppet Sect.

He couldn't make the decision on this matter, and had to return to the sect and let the elders of the sect discuss and make a decision.

But no matter what the decision was, he knew that Chen Guo was finished. Tianjian Sect would definitely not go head-to-head with the behemoth Puppet Sect for a mere mortal country.

Although their Tianjian Sect was also a large sect, otherwise they would not have won the victory of Chen Guo's dragon battle. However, there was still some gap between them and the top sects like Puppet Sect.

In the eyes of many low-level cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, there is no difference between a large sect and a top sect, and they don't know what the difference is.

Only those large sects know that the difference between them and the top sects is a spiritual treasure that can suppress luck. Only when the sect has a top-level innate spiritual treasure in its inheritance, which can fight against the incarnation cultivator as a treasure as a foundation, can it be regarded as a top-level sect.

This kind of treasure, even if the sect occasionally breaks down and there is no incarnation cultivator, can be controlled by the sect's Nascent Soul cultivator to fight against the incarnation.

In order to refine an innate spiritual treasure, endless manpower and material resources are exhausted. A large sect has to prepare for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, before it can refine such an innate spiritual treasure that can suppress luck.

For example, the Wanzhongshan of Qianshan Sect and the Star Gold Dragon of Puppet Sect. These can all be regarded as innate spiritual treasures.

Some sects have more than one such treasure that suppresses luck.

Feng Tianzong watched the cultivators of Tianjian Sect leave, and then said to Wang Mingyuan: "Send a message to Wang Meng on the front line! Chen State can be destroyed.

You also need to prepare more officials here. After the demise of Chen State, there will be some chaos. Appease the people of Chen State as soon as possible, and integrate them into our Great Shang in the future, so that they can recognize the rule of our Great Shang from the bottom of their hearts."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, our Great Shang officials are never lacking in this regard. It won't take a year. When the autumn harvest comes next year, when the people see the stored grain in their hands and see that life has improved, they will naturally have a sense of belonging to our Great Shang." Wang Mingyuan said confidently.

In the past thirty years, Dashang has not only achieved rapid development in military power, but also made remarkable achievements in culture and education. Students from colleges in various places have graduated in batches.

Even if there is no position in the government office, these people are stuffed into the government office to observe politics and learn. A small county government office has five people in each position, one for office work and four for learning. The government office has also been implemented at the village level.

It has completely eliminated the problem of corruption. There are too many people and so many eyes watching. If you want to embezzle, you need to bribe all the insiders.

The little money embezzled is not enough for everyone to share. If there is less, who would want to embezzle at the risk of being beheaded? As for taking it all for yourself, when doing things, you need to explain to the four deputies why you do this. If the explanation is not convincing or the deputies question it, you can invite inspectors.

Even the number of inspectors is ridiculous. Dashang is now using the huge output of spiritual wheat to support these officials. Wang Mingyuan was not confused by the seemingly unreasonable rules and so many redundant officials at the beginning, but when it came to sending troops to Chen State, everything was explained.

There are now a large number of people in the government who need to be employed. It is to prepare for today. Even Feng Tianzong's idea may not only be Chen State.

Now the officials of Da Shang, even if they have taken over the territory of Chen State, it still seems very redundant. But think about the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Human Race.

Wang Mingyuan suddenly felt hot in his heart. He is now the prime minister of Da Shang, under one person and above ten thousand people, and Feng Tianzong, the emperor, does not like to deal with state affairs. Da Shang's state affairs are basically decided by one word.

Now Da Shang is about to expand, and he, Wang Mingyuan, is about to become the prime minister of the entire human race, under one person and above ten thousand people. Leave a name in history and glorify the ancestors!

At his point, money is nothing, all he wants is a name after death.

"Work hard, the sixteen kingdoms of the human race will soon become history. The human race will soon usher in unification!" Feng Tianzong also intended to leak this news, and his subordinates also needed to prepare for it early.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Wang Mingyuan said loudly with a happy face.

Then he stood up and left Weiyang Palace. The entire Da Shang, like a sophisticated machine, started to operate at full capacity.
