The war in the Haiyuan World Group was just like the war between the Great Zhou Empire and several wizard towers. The warriors gradually began to gain the upper hand.
The requirements for wizard training are higher than those for warriors. Even if wizards use sacrifices to increase their numbers, they cannot match the increase in the number of warriors. In addition, powerful wizards are basically outsiders and generally lack the will to fight.
The war between Tianshan City and the Hundred Islands Alliance lasted less than three hundred years. Except for more than a hundred main islands, the remaining islands were basically occupied by the forces of Tianshan City.
Only the main island has not yet been captured. By this time, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Haiyuan World changed hands.
Above the main hall of the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Empire. Zhou Chang sat high on the throne, with an aura as deep as the sea, directly overshadowing the more than 300 senior officials of the empire below.
"Your Majesty, the immortal cultivators from Tianshan City have given us an order for our country to send another million troops to Guiyan Island." An official came out and said to Zhou Chang.
In the past three hundred years, the Great Zhou Empire has expanded crazily, and its territory has expanded countless times. All this was accomplished under the leadership of Zhou Chang.
Now, within the Great Zhou Empire, no one like Qingluan or Zhou Xi has as high a reputation as Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang not only has a high reputation, he is also able to control the destiny of the country. Under the cover of the destiny of the country, no one knows the depth of his cultivation.
Zhou Chang lowered his head slightly, glanced at the respectful expressions of the civil and military officials in the main hall, nodded secretly in his heart, turned to look at Zhou Zheng, the number one civil servant, and said, "Prime Minister, what do you think?" Zhou Zheng knew the emperor's thought.
Guiyan Island is the main island. Tianshan City may not pay attention to the other islands occupied by the Great Zhou Empire, but Tianshan City, the main island in the world group, will not be occupied by others. Many people know this.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has improved a lot in the past three hundred years, it is still far from the power of Tianshan City in the Haiyuan World Group. Tianshan City's strength in the Haiyuan World is only a part of it.
No matter how much contribution it made in the battle to conquer Guiyan Island, Tianshan City would not be able to allocate Guiyan Island to Da Zhou. At most, it would allocate a few cities to Da Zhou. In this way, Da Zhou would not have to expend national power in this regard.
With his heart pounding, Zhou Zheng thought for a while and then said: "Marshal Zhou Kui led his troops to fight on Guiyan Island a hundred years ago. In the past hundred years, we have successively increased our troops by nearly five million. There are hundreds of major forces under the command of Tianshang City. , although we do not send the most troops, we are still among the best. It is the time for the Great Zhou Dynasty to recuperate and expand its army by one million, and the national treasury may not be able to support it." The domestic legions are all elite soldiers who are skilled in military formations, and it is impossible to throw them away Zhou Kui's cannon fodder army and the legions heading to Guiyan Island are usually miscellaneous troops recruited temporarily.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is very big, but it is not easy to expand the army. The simplest thing is that every soldier must be a warrior.
Although they are cannon fodder, if Dazhou recruits a group of mortal soldiers to replenish their numbers, the battleships from Shancheng will probably come to Dazhou that day.
In recent years, some warrior forces have realized that they are full-fledged, thinking that Tianshan City cannot allocate troops to discipline them, and have begun to fool around with Tianshan City's orders.
And these forces have become history. Zhou Zheng continued: "The warrior criminals can probably raise about 100,000 yuan. There is still a shortfall of 900,000 yuan. We can use secret techniques to turn some foreigners into warriors. As for the funding issue, we can continue the wartime special case." Zhou Zheng said Then he looked at Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang frowned, he understood what Zhou Zheng meant. The expansion of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty naturally attracted many foreigners. The number of the Zhou Tian clan accounted for less than 10% of the empire's population.
Wartime exceptions mean putting the pressure of military expenditures on foreign nations. This is tradition. In the past, the core of the Great Zhou Empire was the Zhou Tian clan, which squeezed the foreign tribes hard. Firstly, they quickly weakened the resistance of the foreign tribes, pacified the place effectively and quickly, and established rule, so as to avoid fighting in the front and fire in the rear. Secondly, they invested more resources. Go to the people of the Zhoutian Clan to enhance the strength of the Zhoutian Clan.
But things are different now. After decades of peace in the empire, those foreigners have begun to identify with the Great Zhou Empire and regard themselves as citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wouldn't such an unfair policy make most of the citizens alienated?
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Zheng said these words, many of His Highness's officials looked angry. Most of these officials were not from the Zhou Tian clan.
Zhou Chang glanced at Zhou Zheng and felt a little dissatisfied with the prime minister. This man was fine before and only thought about the Zhou Tian Clan.
But now, the Great Zhou Empire no longer only represents the Zhou Tian clan. The expansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been stopped, at least in Haiyuan World, it will be impossible to expand for a long time. Outside the empire's territory, there are all the forces under the command of Tianshang City.
Even if he could fight, Dazhou would not dare to fight. After all, Tianshan City is currently concentrating its efforts on attacking the main islands and will not allow these warriors under its command to cause chaos.
Moreover, it is impossible for Tianshan City to allow a particularly powerful warrior force to appear under its command. Dazhou wants to expand and will work towards the direction of the heavens and the world.
If you want to conduct a cross-border war, you need talents from all aspects, such as people who are proficient in teleportation arrays and other formations, people who are good at building warships, etc.
The Zhoutian clan may be better than other foreigners in combat, but in other skills, their talents are generally not high.
If the Great Zhou Empire were full of muscular men like the Zhou Tian Clan, then Great Zhou would have no future. Zhou Chang thought for a while and said: "The wartime special exception has been abolished long ago, and there is no reason to restore it. As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I treat all citizens equally. We still recruit troops on a voluntary basis. As for military expenditures, we will do it from within." Come out of the treasury. Zhou Dan, I still leave the matter of recruiting troops to you. Whether it is the Zhou Tian clan or others, we will treat them equally." After Zhou Chang dealt with a few more important matters, he retreated to the palace to practice. .
In the training ground, Zhou Chang sat cross-legged, with nine celestial dragons faintly visible outside his body. Tianlong is a mythical beast brought out by Zhou Chang from the Heaven Realm, the treasure house of the Celestial Tribe.
There are three major races of mythical beasts in Dazhou. Tianlong, Phoenix, Luan bird. Among them, the Luan bird is the mythical beast brought back by Qingluan.
The three divine beasts of the empire seem to have no superiority, but Tianlong is vaguely the first. After all, Tianlong's body is larger than the other two divine beasts.
Zhou Chang heard a lot of information about the "Pictures of Destruction of Luck" exercises, and slowly compiled it into a martial art that was more suitable for controlling the fate of the country - "The Sutra of Destroying Luck of the Emperor of Heaven".
This technique, without the help of luck, is as powerful as the ordinary "Pictures of Destruction of Luck". But with luck, especially the luck of the entire Great Zhou Empire, its power is so strong that even Qingluan's technique Not as good as much.
Being powerful also means that training is difficult. Until now, Zhou Chang has not been promoted to the Broken Sky Realm. But recently, Zhou Chang has a faint feeling of breakthrough.
The Shattering Sky Realm is not the key. The key is to be able to open the heavenly treasure house again. Zhou Chang can feel that there is a rare treasure in the heavenly treasure house that can be tempered into a national treasure. If he has the national treasure, he can conquer the likes of Qingluan and Zhou Xi. A person who is vaguely outside the rules of the Zhou Empire.
