Xianqin Multiverse Empire

In today's Ming Dynasty, the south has been fully developed.Jiangnan has become the big granary of the whole world, and the grain output of the entire Jiangnan is more than that of other places combined!

The overall grain output in the south of the Yangtze River is about one hundred million stone.If there is a bumper harvest, there will be more, but last year there was a natural disaster and the harvest failed.

And last year, Lu Buwei bought 500 million shi of grain in one go through various means. If it weren't for his early layout and preparation of many means, he would have been exposed now.

But even so, the court has already made some guesses.And because of this, Lu Xiaofeng directly focused on Tsing Yi Lou and Lu Buwei.

"And it's not just about food. In the past few years, in order to buy food, Tsing Yi Building has started selling private salt. With the technology provided by the king, the elders of Gongshu have realized industrialized salt production. This kind of salt is very cheap and the quantity is large. .”

Having said that, Lu Buwei stopped.To put it bluntly, this kind of industrialized sea salt is too cheap, and Lu Buwei has to raise money crazily in order to buy food, so he focuses on private salt.

Silver in this world is worthless, and a stone of grain costs ten taels of silver. 1000 million shi of grain is a small goal.Every year just to buy food requires several small goals, so of course it is impossible to rely on robbery alone for so much money.

Although Lu Buwei worked very hard to form the Captain Mojin, he also used the mechanism of public losers to loot the treasure houses of Shaolin, Wudang, Jiangnan maritime merchants, and northern Shanxi merchants.But there is always a limit to this method. When Prince Pingnan's mansion was stolen, everyone thought he was unlucky.When Songshan Shaolin was stolen, everyone was surprised.

When Jiangnan Maritime Merchants were looted, no matter how slow the reaction of other people was, they understood: In the past few years, there has been a super-thief with tricks like heaven and man, and he has his eyes on the big guy.

No matter how slow the response is, they will know how to distribute the money among several small treasuries, even if it is stolen, only part of it will be lost.

What's more important is that these big forces were connected together because of this, and they joined forces directly after analyzing each other. It was their cooperation that allowed the court to react so quickly and focus on Qingyilou.

At this point in the matter, it is no longer possible for Lu Buwei to stop if he stops.People have already been eyeing you, and if it wasn't for the purpose of avoiding alarm, the branch of Tsing Yi Building on land might have been robbed.

As for the headquarters, of course it is overseas.As early as the second year, Lu Buwei moved his headquarters overseas, occupied the Ryukyu Kingdom, and established the shogunate.

"That is to say, basically anyone who can be offended is offended?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Although the veteran doesn't want to say that, it's the truth. It was okay before their interests were not involved, but now." Lu Buwei shook his head while speaking.

Well, in fact, I don't blame him.It can even be said that this matter has long been expected by Ying Zheng.Tens of millions of shi grains are smuggled every year, and it has been successful for three consecutive years, so we can't ask for more.

"If you fail, you fail. This is already in the plan, so what is Zhongfu's plan next?"

snort!

"Since the path of peace is no longer feasible, let's bring them iron and blood. In my opinion, conquering this world can be divided into three steps."

"The first step is to collect information, go deep into every industry in this world, and thoroughly understand this world. Now this step has almost been completed."

"The second step is to create chaos, even stir up the ambitions of the ambitious, let the ambitious appear on the stage, and let this world fall into internal friction."

"The third step depends on the situation. If we have enough power in this world, we will conquer directly. If our conquest department does not have enough power, then we will directly descend on Daqin's iron cavalry."

Chapter 3: Everything is ready

To create chaos, Yingzheng naturally needs to take stock of the Conquest Department's family background in this world.How many people, how many masters, how many talents, how many troops, how powerful is the army...

Daqin is about to start the battle to destroy Korea, and it will not be able to spare too much manpower and material resources in a short time.What's more, even if South Korea is destroyed, Ying Zheng doesn't want to expose the world so soon.

At the very least, they have to wait until Han, Zhao, Wei, or even Chu are destroyed before they can be exposed.At that time, the overall situation has been settled, and even if other people know something, they will have nothing to fear.

Today's Conquest Division has its own army.As early as the second year, Lu Buwei took the masters of Tsing Yi Lou and the 500 elite troops trained by the Expedition Division to conquer the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. It is currently being conquered by a certain Japanese power, and will even be completely occupied by this Japanese local power in the future.

However, when Lu Buwei and the heroes of the conquest department arrived, everything was different.They occupied the Ryukyu country in advance and used it as an overseas base.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is actually not big. It is said to be a country, but it is essentially composed of a group of very small islands.The total area is about 4000 square kilometers, and the total population is about [-].

Among the 10 people, there are kings, civil servants, and generals. They are also good at internal fighting, like to die, and there are countless foreign enemies.

However, due to the relatively important location of the Ryukyu Kingdom, there are really not a few passenger ships traveling between them during the great voyage.Therefore, in the Ryukyu Kingdom, there are bases set up by the Pingnan Palace, there are bases set up by the little old man, and there are also bases set up by many wealthy merchants in the south.

So many forces are like foreign powers. For the Ryukyu country, no matter which one it is, it can't afford to provoke it, so it has to close the door and fight internally.

Even the reason why the Ryukyu Kingdom has not yet been captured by Japanese local powers is because these powers do not allow it.And when Lu Buwei came, he started a big cleansing without saying a word.

It doesn't matter if you are a spy of the Pingnan Palace, a subordinate of the little old man, or an informant of a powerful local Japanese, kill them all.Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

A shogunate was even established, and the head of the shogunate was Ying Zheng.However, Yingzheng's time is limited, and he only shows up occasionally, and the big things are left to Lu Buwei to handle.

With a population of 10, according to the strong mobilization ability during the Warring States Period, mobilizing [-] troops is extremely easy.Before that, the Ryukyu Kingdom had only a few hundred troops.

After Lu Buwei took over, the Ryukyu Kingdom now has an elite army of 3000 people.The high-level officers are all heroes of the Conquest Division, and 3000 people are trained strictly according to the latest standards of Daqin.

wind!

wind!

Gale!

Hearing the roar of the soldiers, Ying Zheng was quite satisfied.At the very least, the army in front of him looks capable of fighting.

"This is a team of officers, Father Zhong has put his heart into it."

Hearing this, Lu Buwei stroked his beard with a smile: "Although this army is small in number, only 3000 people, every one of them is trained according to the requirements of the head of a hundred."

"And Ryukyu's geographical location is very good, with enough money and treasures to train them. Today, every one of them is studying and practicing martial arts. Even in Daqin, they are qualified officers."

Three thousand officers can easily be expanded to 3, and it is still the kind of 3 with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

The biggest difference between the modern army and the classical feudal army is actually the number of officers. In the feudal era, sometimes there may be only one expert in an army of 1000 people. This is very common.

Because the art of war in the feudal era was the art of slaying dragons, it was difficult for ordinary people to master except military generals.And the reason why the generals' disciples were able to lead troops never relied on the art of war, but the family-born children they had cultivated since childhood.

Through these families, they can effectively control the army.Coupled with the experience of leading troops passed down from his ancestors, he can be regarded as a qualified famous general.

In the modern army, every squad leader has been to a military academy, and they all know how to fight and what to do in any situation.

An army of 3 people, equipped with [-] qualified officers, is a proper modern army.After seeing the blood, coupled with the elite armor provided by Daqin, it can completely beat the most elite frontier army of Ming Dynasty in this world.

"In addition to this army, the old man and the heroes of the Conquest Department have still made a lot of preparations in the past four years. Thanks to His Majesty, among the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom today, all the people have practiced martial arts. Although their strength is not very good, But it’s okay to be healthy and free from all diseases.”

"Furthermore, after research, it has been found that these people who are initially practicing martial arts will not get sick when they enter Yizhou Island, Luzon and other places. Even if they live in the jungle, they will not get sick because of the environment there."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.The effect of this martial art is really far beyond imagination.When immigrating to Southeast Asia, or even conquering countries such as Myanmar and Thailand, the biggest difficulty has never been insufficient military power but acclimatization.

Throughout the ages, it has been difficult for people from the Central Plains to adapt to the climate of Yizhou Island and Southeast Asia.When immigrants arrive there, at least half of them will die.

Just a single malaria will kill people when it spreads, not to mention blood-sucking worms and other deadly killers hidden in the rainforest.

"Really? Tried it already?"

"Yes, in the past few years, apart from Ryukyu, the veteran has been reclaiming Yizhou Island. A total of 30 people have been transported before and after, and only 15 are still alive at this moment."

"In order to solve the unacceptable environment, I have thought of many ways. In the end, the effect of practicing martial arts to strengthen the body is the best. As long as you enter the realm of self-refining and foundation building, the death rate of immigrants will be reduced to [-]%. After entering the realm of refining and transforming qi, Unless you are really unlucky, you won't die at all."

Is it difficult to refine oneself and build a foundation?It's really not difficult, it's just the first step in practicing martial arts.Even ordinary people can enter this realm in only a hundred days.

If you can eat three meals a day and occasionally have meat, no matter how poor your qualifications are, you can enter this realm within a year.The conquest department at this moment really has no shortage of meat.

When they are overseas, they fish in the sea casually. A fishing net can easily be tens of thousands of catties of sea fish, and when they are lucky, they can be hundreds of thousands of catties.

In the past few years, the salted fish transported to Daqin by the Conquest Division alone has averaged hundreds of thousands of catties every day.Most of these salted fish were digested by the army, and a small part flowed into the civilian population.

A few days later, Ying Zheng came to Yizhou Island.Standing on a high place, looking at the fertile fields here.Although only 15 people survived, there were as many as 50 slaves here.

As for the number of fields, it is as high as 500 million mu, and there are still two crops a year.

There are 3000 officer seeds.

There are 500 million mu of fields with two crops a year.

There are also [-] sets of steel armor supported by Daqin.

So much strength?Is it enough to directly rebel?

Chapter 4: The end of the old days

Songshan, needless to say the scenery here, as one of the Five Sacred Mountains, although this place is not as majestic as Mount Tai, it also has its own characteristics.

However, I don't know since when, this place has become the territory of Shaolin.Not only Songshan Mountain, but even the entire vicinity of Kaifeng, Shaolin Temple is the largest landowner.

Among the local tenants, there was a saying that a beautiful daughter-in-law planted a good field. After a casual glance at the information collected by Tsing Yi Building, Ying Zheng knew that this Shaolin Temple was indeed a place where filth was hidden.

Of course, this is not to say that the door is a good thing.In fact, as long as there are gangs, few of them are good people in the moral sense.

According to Yingzheng's own actual observation, neither the Shaolin Temple nor the Wudang sect are very good people. There are many wicked people in Shaolin. They oppress tenants and rob tenants' wives is just a common occurrence.

But this kind of thing is not only done by Shaolin Temple in this era, but also by Taoist priests in the Taoist temples under the command of Wudang Sect.

Even aristocratic families, local tyrants, and even a small yamen servant all do this!This is the characteristic of the times!

In this era, Xiaomin is the most miserable.

This is an era when ordinary people are oppressed and have no way to get justice!

In this era, Xiaomin is naturally bullied as the weakest.

And the monks in Shaolin Temple are just one of the countless villains who bully them.

Even Ying Zheng knew that in the original history, even Daqin and Xiaomin were the targets of oppression.It's just that compared with the later dynasties, Daqin is stronger.

Because the Great Qin had a military merit system, this system made military nobles almost all over the world.As a civil servant, you don't even know if the common people you bullied yesterday have any relatives of military nobles.

After thinking about this point clearly, Ying Zheng has no guilt at all for the confusion caused by Lu Buwei's next plan.

Revolution is not a dinner party. The common people in this world want to enjoy the advanced productivity brought by the Great Qin Dynasty. They want to plant fairy seeds one day, live a good life with occasional meat for three meals a day, and want to stop being bullied, so eat first. It's perfectly normal to suffer a little bit.

There are many pavilions and pavilions on Songshan Mountain, all of which belong to Shaolin Temple.These temples are the accumulation of thousands of years, and the core of Shaolin Temple is on the Junji Peak of Songshan Mountain.

This mountain is very high, and the location of Shaolin Temple is also very good, easy to defend but difficult to attack.Theoretically speaking, it is difficult to attack by force, but the technology of the public loser is really amazing.

They used all kinds of extremely exquisite mechanisms, combined with the aerodynamics of modern time and space, and the formulas of classical mechanics, to successfully develop mechanisms that can fly in the sky.

On this night when the moon is very round, bright and large, Yingzheng, Lu Buwei, the dead soldiers trained in Qingyi Building, and Daqin's evil spirit guards all descended on this place.

"who are you?"

"Amitabha!"

Suddenly, a Buddha's name came out from the depths of Shaolin Temple. This voice carried a trace of Buddha nature, and there was gentleness in the overbearing.

After shouting, the monks who had fallen asleep woke up collectively.However, what awaited them were mysterious hidden weapons with strange shapes, like melons and fruits.

A monk just woke up, listening to the sound of breaking through the sky, he subconsciously circulated his true energy, and his whole body appeared several feet away.

With a bang, a small hole was smashed into the ground.

"Amitabha, fortunately, the little monk reacted faster. What kind of hidden weapon is this? It looks like it's made of high-quality stainless steel. Why is it still smoking?"

Thinking of this, the monk circulated his true energy again, and his thumb suddenly turned golden yellow.

He squeezed lightly...

Boom!

After the huge explosion, only some stumps and pieces of meat remained on the spot.This is really the sound of a cannonball, parents are raising for nothing!

This young thug who has been trained by the Shaolin Temple for more than 20 years has not left the temple to suppress tenants for the Shaolin Temple, and he was directly reimbursed for competing with other sects for benefits.

The sound of violent explosions caused a lot of damage at the beginning.However, even if the great monks reacted, there was nothing they could do.Because they discovered that even if they are innate masters, facing this thing at close range is a dead end.

Only the masters of the Bodhidharma Hall and senior masters at the elder level can rely on their strong innate qi to resist a hidden weapon at close range.But it's only one piece, after a hard resistance, most of the true energy will be consumed.

"As expected of Elder Iron Hands, the power of this explosive is really astonishing." Looking at the monk who kept rushing to the street, a smile began to appear on Lu Buwei's face.

"Hey hey hey hey... This makes you have magical skills, and I have explosives!"

Although Elder Iron Hand smiled like a big villain, Ying Zheng was very happy to hear it.Although the elders of the public loser are not very powerful, but in terms of climbing the technology tree, especially after Ying Zheng gave enough blueprint data, it is really fast to copy it!

"However, there is still a shortage of manpower, especially the lack of skilled craftsmen. These are all deployed by me. The average craftsman does not have this technology at all. Each person can only be responsible for part of the work. It is a waste of time. .”

"Haha, it doesn't matter, the world will be in chaos soon, and we will not be short of manpower by then. As long as we don't directly rebel, no one will care about what we do."

In Lu Buwei's view, today's rivers and lakes are jointly formulated by Shaolin, Wudang and other great sects of the White Way and the underworld sects such as the Devil's Cult.

These sects seem to be just people from the rivers and lakes, and have nothing to do with the court and politics, but in fact this is not the case at all.

Poor and rich in martial arts, only rich people can practice martial arts.Behind every innate master, there is a lot of money, a lot of resources accumulated.

Behind the various sects, there are many forces hidden.

Behind the Wudang faction are businessmen from the entire south.

Behind Shaolin lies the local tyrants and landlords of the Central Plains.

Behind the Huashan faction are the local tyrants in Guanzhong.

When Shaolin's strength is not enough to maintain order, and when the Demon Cult's strength is not enough to maintain order, it is the time when the world is in complete chaos, and it is also the time for the ambitious family to fish in troubled waters.

This is Lu Buwei's plan. It is simple to say, but the strength required is not simple.Even at this moment, these monks did not give up resistance in the face of the super hidden weapon with huge lethality.

Often after they recite Amitabha, they rush forward without hesitation about their own lives.Seeing this scene, Lu Buwei was not surprised but delighted: "The real backbone elites are not afraid of death and then they all die. Only in this way can Shaolin be truly weakened."
