Chapter 41 Uninvited guests(1/2)
Wuyang State, a neighboring country of Qin State.
This year, the territory of Wuyang Kingdom was not peaceful, and there were sudden disturbances, which could even be said to be extremely bad.
The root of everything naturally comes from the Qin State.
Two years ago, civil strife broke out in the Qin State. Wuyang State bordered the Qin State, so the news was received quickly.
At that time, the king of Wuyang Kingdom was still a bit interested in watching the excitement, thinking that his neighbor would probably have a headache even if he was a member of the Nine Great Kingdoms.
Who would have thought that things would develop far beyond his expectations.
The civil strife was quickly put down, and the aristocratic families created by the feudal system became a hidden danger. The Qin State was also eliminated, and true unification was achieved.
And the person who did all this turned out to be a newly conferred general to protect the country by Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qin.
If that's all, it's nothing.
The problem is that the general who protected the country actually overthrew the rule of aristocratic families by abolishing slavery and then using slaves as an army.
In addition, after unifying the Qin State, the general who protected the country teamed up with the Qin Princess to make a series of amazing moves.
Including but not limited to practicing martial arts for all, distributing land to the people, setting up free private schools, improving the status of craftsmen, and changing laws
These policies seem to be only implemented within the territory of Qin State, but their impact goes far beyond the territory of Qin State.
Not to mention anything else, during this period, there were frequent slave riots in their Wuyang country and they fled to Qin.
In addition, many big businessmen went to Qin with their family properties.
Because there is a complete set of laws to protect merchants, and the status of merchants in Qin is higher than in other places.
There are even many people at the border who quietly enter the Qin State through the border. Who doesn't know that the people in the Qin State can own their own land?
It’s all farming, but where is farming and not farming?
In Wuyang State, land was cultivated for landlords, but in Qin State, land was cultivated for oneself.
Even though the King of Wuyang responded quickly by strengthening the border and treating those who left the country as treason, some gaps could not be closed, and the decline of Wuyang's national power had become an unchangeable trend.
Before Qin State took action against Wuyang State, Wuyang State was already in crisis because of Qin State.
What does it mean to conquer the enemy without fighting?
Just like that
The dark clouds are thick and the thunder is rolling.
Since a year ago, God seems to be angry. Half of the time there is thunder and no end.
According to common people, even the most stingy girl should get rid of her anger after being angry for so long.
Why is it that God is more effeminate than pussies to no end?
In the royal study.
Lu Qingshan stood by the window, staring at the electric snakes that flashed from time to time in the gloomy sky outside the window.
Qin Yitian held his chin and sat at the desk beside him, looking at Lu Qingshan intently.
On the desk are neatly arranged memorials and books.
"It has been half a month since you last met the King of White Walkers, and there is still no unusual movement in Tiecheng." Qin Yitian said softly.
Half a month ago, Lu Qingshan committed suicide for the first time.
Lu Qingshan remained silent, looking at the endless sky, and a sudden realization flashed through his heart:
It turns out that you are also subject to many rules?
It turns out that the lightning and thunder this year was just your unwilling but powerless roar?
"Get ready to take action," Lu Qingshan suddenly said: "Qin already has that strength."
One year is neither long nor short, but the Qin State has become completely new.
Moreover, the potential is endless.
Qin still has a lot of room for growth.
But Lu Qingshan was not going to wait for it to grow up and bear fruit on its own, but was going to fertilize it.
"Will the general lead the troops in person this time?" Qin Yitian asked.
"Of course, if you don't move, let alone the sword, your bones will rust." Lu Qingshan picked up the dragon bird, strode out, pushed the door open, and disappeared into the bright lights.
…………
The changes in the Qin State were definitely not the work of Lu Qingshan alone.
In fact, Lu Qingshan only had ideas and advanced ideas, but he had no idea how to put them into practice.
Those things cannot be learned without being nurtured and exposed from childhood to adulthood.
So all this depends on Qin Yitian.
Qin Yitian was the princess who was passed down by word of mouth among the people of Qin before Lu Qingshan appeared, so there is no doubt about her ability to govern the country.
With her ice-snow intelligence, she can always quickly digest the ideas expressed by Lu Qingshan, and then formulate corresponding policies based on the actual national conditions of Qin.
The combination of the two created the Qin State today.
It's just the difference in division of labor that has caused Qin Yitian to be busy day and night dealing with government affairs this year, while Lu Qingshan has been very free.
Except for occasionally going to watch the Qingshan Army perform martial arts, he spent most of his time doing nothing.
Sword cultivators can never be idle.
In that case, let's go out and have some fun
Time flies, spring goes to autumn, summer goes to winter, and so on.
In recent years, the Daoyuan world has experienced a "big earthquake".
The Qin State, one of the Nine Great Kingdoms, risked the disapproval of the world and launched a war of aggression against its neighboring country Wuyang State, despite the presence of strange ghosts outside.
Blitzkrieg.
Before everyone could even fully react, the battle between the two countries only lasted less than three days. Wuyang was defeated day by day, and the king finally chose to surrender.
The Qin State is stronger than the Wuyang State. No one will be surprised or doubt this.
But how could the gap be so big that Wuyang Kingdom couldn't survive even three days?
All countries cannot understand it.
No matter how hard it is to understand, the annexation of Wuyang State by Qin State has become an established fact, and the process of exploration is of little significance.
All the countries immediately united to rebuke Qin and put pressure on Qin. With the current foreign invasion, how could they provoke civil strife again?
Not wanting the Qin State to go its own way and turning a deaf ear to the rebuke from other countries, after taking the Wuyang State, in less than three days of preparation, the Qingshan Army's sword pointed at the next country.
In Wuyang, the slaves who had just been liberated and absorbed by the Qingshan Army had already begun to practice "Qingshan Sword Technique II".
It is conceivable that if this continues, once it expands to a certain point, the Qingshan Army will form an endless cycle. How many people are sacrificed in the front, how many new soldiers can be replaced in the rear.
In fact, according to common sense, annexing a country is not a simple matter.
It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to sit on it.
It takes a long process to digest a country's resources.
Differences in culture, the instinctive rejection of invaders by the people of the country, the treatment of nobles, the dismissal and appointment of officials, etc., are all numerous and extremely complicated.
But this principle does not hold true for Qin.
Exclusion? The people of Wuyang Kingdom actually dreamed of the arrival of the Qingshan Army.
What to do to the nobles? Just confiscate all their homes.
"I can't wait to digest it slowly. Let's digest it while fighting. I am responsible for expanding the territory and you are responsible for stabilizing the rule." This is what Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian said.
They both performed their duties and performed well.
In just two months, Qin conquered all seven neighboring countries.
Although they are all small countries, they are still at an extremely frightening speed.
It was so frightening that the other eight great kingdoms couldn't bear it and threatened that if Qin continued to be so unscrupulous and disregarded the common interests of the human race, they would abandon their responsibilities and retreat directly from Iron City.
Since your Qin State doesn't care about the overall situation, it's a big deal that everyone can finish it together.
If you have the guts, use your country's power to stop the White Walkers. Otherwise, if the Iron City is destroyed, what's the use of Qin even if it annexes many countries?
It seemed that this threat had frightened the Qin State, and the overwhelming Qingshan Army finally went dormant and stopped making any moves.
The peaceful days lasted less than a year.
The Qingshan Army moved out again.
This time, they divided their forces into two groups, one aiming at neighboring countries and the other heading towards Iron City.
This meaning is already very clear.
Our country of Qin really has the ability to defend the White Walkers as a whole. If you want to defend this iron city, you can defend it. If you don’t defend it, leave it.
To be continued...
