As a newly expanded area in Daxia, Fentie County has various policy preferences and is prosperous. Why is there still gray air blocking the core of the French Open?
In terms of institutional luck, the overall legal network is completely light red, which means that the people's support and official government orders are smooth, which is strong evidence that Daxia has a firm foothold in Liangzhou.
In this way, Zhou Bai could safely rely on Fentie County to capture the entire Liangzhou.
Zhou Bai's road to fighting for the dragon starts from the corner and works steadily.
Similarly, if you want to swallow up a state now, you must also take a small corner steadily. This is in line with the past luck pattern of Daxia, and will naturally be fully supported by the great fortune of the country.
Now that the core of the French Open shows that luck is hindered, we cannot ignore it, otherwise once changes occur behind the scenes, major events will inevitably be affected.
Sitting at the hub of the county government, Zhou Bai activated his skills and condensed a trace of purple kingly energy into the French net.
This is the law of Wang Qi, the Prime Minister, so that he can observe it carefully.
Originally, the core looked gray, and Zhou Bai thought it might be Fentie County hiding some kind of disaster, but after inspection, he found that it was actually the anger of the people?
Also, in just half a year, Daxia took full control of Fentie County, laid out all kinds of mature policies, and achieved a great summer harvest.
With such a short period of time, it is impossible to cover everything. In many cases, in order to smoothly implement administrative orders, officials have adopted high-pressure and tough policies.
Methods such as household registration, land expropriation, taxes and grain payments, etc. will all cause public dissatisfaction to a greater or lesser extent.
However, most of the gray air generated by these public grievances is scattered. After another year and a half, the people will benefit from some of the benefits of the new dynasty, and the grievances will naturally dissipate.
However, the rough implementation of chasing the Jin army from the north and taking over Liangzhou is just around the corner, and there is no time to slowly pass away by relying on the operation of the system.
The purple light in Zhou Bai's eyes accurately captured the backbone of gray energy.
Tracing back to the source, it is still some resentment caused by the long logistics and transportation effort, which was caused by too much effort and the fatigue of the people.
Few gatherings and many separations, excessive overwork, contrast with the life of the native residents of Daxia, etc.
The only way to improve is to increase transportation efficiency and reduce recruitment.
When Canglan flows into Liang and the waterways are unblocked, this part of the resentment can be easily eliminated.
With water transportation and sufficient logistics support, the Xia army on the expedition can truly show its fangs, rather than slowly grinding its foundation here.
The Liang River only flows through one state, and its source is not connected to the Tianjiang River. In terms of status, it is naturally inferior to the Ningjiang River that runs through the northern border.
However, its water flows endlessly and branches into dozens of tributaries to moisten the land of Liangzhou. It is actually the mother river of Liangzhou and has great merits for all living beings in Liangzhou.
On August 5, the seventh year of Tongzhi, at the cutoff point of the Liang River in Fentie County, which was the source of the upper reaches of the Dingliang River, a massive sacrifice was going on.
The Dragon King Temple in Lianghe was built under the supervision of the Daolu Division of Daxia. It has many subtle features that demonstrate the magic of immortals.
In the middle is the main hall, in front is the temple gate, with a stele pavilion on the wing in front of the gate, bell and drum towers on the left and right, and a white stone square in front of the tree, all with double eaves and arches, and colorful paintings.
There are nine couplets on the left and right corridors, each with a statue of the "Dragon King of Lianghe", decorated with gold and green, just like a living dragon palace.
During the sacrifice, Zhou Bai represented the Daxia Principality to worship the Dragon King of Lianghe, proclaiming his merits and recognizing his status as the righteous god in the Daxia court.
Later, hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of people from Fentie County accompanied him, offering incense and offering sacrifices and praying devoutly.
The incense is thick and the smoke covers the area for miles around, making the sky and the earth magnificent and majestic.
At the bottom of the Tangtang River, there is a majestic Dragon Palace, surrounded by water tribes. Dragon sons, dragons and grandsons kneel in front of the palace, waiting for orders.
The water veins and spiritual energy waves are turbulent, and the incense and aspiration power is rolling in.
The Dragon King of Lianghe who sits at the core has benefited from countless things, and his Taoism has naturally increased. His dragon scales shine brightly and bloom with golden light.
"... Shengmo Yuzhen, Taiping Kongzhang. Hope to pray for Xinjian, virtue and unity are boundless. Shang Xi!"
The majestic sacrificial text recited by the high priest was transmitted to the Dragon Palace accurately. Until the last sentence "Shang Xiang", the Dragon King suddenly opened his golden and bright dragon eyes.
He nodded slightly and said to the ministers of the Dragon Palace: "The Duke of Xia will be lucky enough to defeat the Marquis of Liang. Unifying Liangzhou is inevitable in my opinion."
"Now that Duke Xia has given me face, I will naturally give him face."
"Instructions are given that the Lianghe aquatic tribe and the gods will protect the water veins and not allow the water to overflow the river and endanger all directions."
Accompanied by the echoing sound that echoed throughout the Dragon Palace, the "natural" dam formed by divine power at the source of the Liang River suddenly broke open, and the water surged into the sky, making a thunderous roar, and rushed towards the new river channel.
The Dingliang River has been cut off for several years, and now it is reconnected, which is equivalent to the river changing its course.
The water veins are unstable, the water vapor is turbulent, and the possibility of floods is extremely high. It is naturally very dangerous to watch this magnificent scene.
But the people of Fentie County and the river workers who had worked hard to dredge the river did not avoid it at all.
Because they saw Duke Xia and his generals and ministers standing firmly by the river. With the Great Xia court here, the gods of the Lianghe Water Tribe did not dare to leave their posts without authorization, so there was no danger.
No, mortals have witnessed with their own eyes that countless shrimps, soldiers and crabs in the rolling torrent are guiding the flow of water vapor.
The gods of Lianghe protected the water veins regardless of the loss of their divine power and suppressed the rioting water vapor.
Several bridges built along the way were safe and unaffected by the surging water.
At the same time, the Canglan Water God in Dingzhou noticed the release of water from upstream, and immediately showed his boundless power and sent Canglan water vapor to open the old channel.
The water veins of the two states are connected, and the air movement is moving greatly. The sky in the entire Dingliang River Basin is gray, and continuous light rain falls continuously, nourishing the hot and arid land.
Bang~
There was a violent gathering and collision, causing waves to fill the sky. People along the coast knelt down and exclaimed with joy.
“The Dingliang River is open!”
"With this mother river that is three times wider, we in Fentie County will have no worries about floods and droughts."
"Hey, the key is that the two states are connected as one. In the future, we in Liangzhou can also live a good life like the Xia people..."
Water is the source of life, and human beings live by water.
In the past, Biancheng County and even Fentie County had never been able to gather a large population, simply because there was no mother river to rely on.
Canglan dried up, and the development of Bei'an County immediately stopped. There was insufficient water in the Dingliang River, and Fentie County's mining and casting industry was also in trouble.
The people cheered from the bottom of their hearts for the hope of survival of the water source, while the civil and military officials around Zhou Bai saw the longer-term grand scene after the water veins were connected.
If the logistics and life channels are now guaranteed, and if the luck of Daxia officially connects Liangzhou, it is inevitable that the two states will become one.
…
After one night, the river became calm, and Canglan Water God completely controlled Dingliang.
He used powerful magic to appease one party, causing water plants to bloom, fish and shrimps to gather, and the breath of life to gush out.
The logistics transport ship dispatched by Daxia's Second Fleet also officially set sail the next day, followed by small merchant ships.
Just because of the opening of a tributary, Zhou Bai was keenly aware that Daxia's national luck had increased by at least 10%. The new luck was full of vitality and washed away the gray and white in the Fentie County French Open.
Regardless of resentment or calamity, they all dissipated under the rising dragon and tiger fortune.
On the eve of Daxia's general attack on Liangzhou, Fentie County's legal network was completely red, and the smooth Daxia luck became a solid backing for the battle of conquest.
On August 10, the seventh year of Tongzhi, Li Bao, the admiral of the Second Fleet, reported that ten small dragon boats had completed their trial voyages, and all the warships were in place in the Dingliang River Basin.
On August 13, the Second Fleet, consisting of 130 large and small warships, sailed into the main channel of the Liang River and powerfully tore open the defense line of the Liang Navy.
The Lianghe River runs east-west and runs across Xiyuan and Fentie counties. The main river channel is not very long.
However, there are many tributaries of the Liang River. In order to control Liangzhou, Zhao Qi built a very complete and powerful navy, which was not weaker than the Second Fleet of Daxia.
However, in the face of Daxia's strong intrusion, Liang Guo's navy had no ability to resist. After resisting for less than half a day, it collapsed and retreated.
One dragon ship was sunk, two were captured by Tiaodang, and more than thirty large and small warships were destroyed.
The large gap in combat power is not due to the cowardice of the Liang soldiers, but to the fact that the Second Fleet of Daxia is experienced and is specially used to deal with inland warfare. In addition, the national power of the Liang Kingdom is declining. When the Jin people are unable to cross south, the naval expenses are reduced. Squeeze the officers and soldiers of the water division.
According to frontline battle reports, in several large ports on the south coast, there are actually more than fifty fighting ships idle and unused.
The sudden attack by the Daxia Navy frightened the Liang court. Before they could hurriedly stabilize the river bank defenses, the borders of Xiyuan County were in crisis one after another.
Xia Gong Zhou Bai personally led an army of 200,000 soldiers to Xiyuan. The barracks were spread for thirty miles. The military pressure covered the three border cities and the beacon fire continued for days.
A letter of complaint against Liang tore off the face that Liang Marquis Zhao Qi had managed to maintain, and also caused endless debate within the Liang Kingdom.
The content is very simple. It lists the sufferings suffered by the people of the country since the establishment of the Liang Kingdom, especially the inability of the Liang Kingdom's court to deal with the Jin people's southern invasion and disasters.
Now that the Jin people were blocked by Daxia, war broke out in the country. The Xu family of Qingwu rebelled. Zhao Xun, the prince of Lianghou, led an army of 100,000 and went south to suppress it. Unexpectedly, there was no peace in March.
The wars continued, people were devastated, the summer harvest was reduced again, and famine spread everywhere...
In addition to Fentie County under Daxia, refugees appeared in Xiyuan County, but the Liang government only suppressed them blindly and did not take any relief measures.
"...Suppress the rebellion on behalf of Liang, appease the people and provide disaster relief...If the Liang army stubbornly blocks the king's army, don't say it was unforeseen."
No matter how much I say, it’s really just one sentence: The Marquis of Liang now has no virtue, and it should be inherited by Xia Gong!
What is virtue, it is not heavenly virtue. Virtue is to have strong soldiers and strong horses.
Of course, in Zhou Bai's case, at most one more thing can make the country prosperous and powerful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment as a virtue.
The first condition of the credential for not starting a war is to release the three passes of Xiyuan County's border towns and allow the Xia army to go to Qingwu to quell the rebellion.
The second condition is to allow the Xia court to import money and grain, and Xia officials will take the lead in providing disaster relief to Liang.
Faced with his son-in-law's "good intentions", Zhao Qi would certainly not agree, even though he understood the huge gap in strength between the two parties.
They are all princes, but among the princes, the virtuous one must be the prince. This is the virtue that comes from fighting.
In mid-August, Liang envoys crossed the Liang River and took a detour to Beiqu County. Needless to say, what their intention was, they just joined forces vertically and horizontally.
Liang Shi was a monk and could avoid the roving horses. After many twists and turns, he finally successfully reached Beiqu City.
But he didn't dare to enter the county center, which was just around the corner, because the big flag erected at the top of the city was already the dragon and tiger flag.
As early as when the Dingliang River was opened to navigation and Fentie County was completely transformed into a summer land, Lou Jinpeng received the support of 100,000 garrison troops.
The two forbidden armies, Destroying the Enemy and Choosing the Front, are good at attacking fortified enemies and advancing step by step, but they require a large amount of military strength.
The 100,000 golden cavalry reinforcements are not without the strength to fight, but they are all soldiers of the big family and are not willing to fight head-on.
After suffering a heavy loss under Beiqu City, they had no choice but to retreat to the flat grasslands north of Beiqu City, where the cavalry could better demonstrate its strength.
The Great Wall and even many military forts on the border have not been captured yet, but in most people's minds, there is no difference between the occupation of Beiqu County and the return of Beiqu County to Xia.
Without the support of the Jin people, Zhao Qi still chose to reject Da Xia's request because he also got the exact news that the Xia garrison was all in Beiqu to resist the Jin.
Of the 200,000 Xia troops in the three passes in the eastern part of Xiyuan, only 30,000 Imperial Guards and 5,000 Fumo are considered elite, and the remaining more than 100,000 are militiamen.
How rampant is the militia when it comes to controlling a large army? How can it be impossible to hold on to the city under such circumstances?
As long as the crown prince Zhao Xun quells the rebellion in time and gets an army of 100,000 to come back for reinforcements, there is still no way to wash away the humiliation.
The monarch expressed his stance and shouted that the Liang people should rule the Liang Dynasty. He immediately shouted out the ancient famous sayings, inspiring many scholars to write poems and commentaries, and they were determined to resist to the end.
"Today we will cut five cities and tomorrow we will cut ten cities. Then we have to sleep overnight and look around the surrounding areas. The Xia soldiers have arrived again."
