Except for the four major ninth-level people who came to seek refuge. There are also many eighth-level and seventh-level talents coming.
Among them, the Lu family where Lu Xun belongs, in addition to their father and son, also includes Lu Kang, Lu Ji, Lu Ji, Lu Yun...
Although these people do not have ninth-level abilities, there are quite a few who are eighth-level and seventh-level ones.
For a family like this, even if the talent occasionally disappears, as long as the descendants have the ability, it will be easy for them to rise and become famous ministers and generals recognized by the world.
For example, the Wenxi Pei clan had many prime ministers and generals in their clan. Among the princes in the north, if anyone could get the loyalty of the Wenxi Pei clan, their power would increase by several percent out of thin air.
Of course, if the power of a wealthy family is too great, it will easily affect the imperial power. This needs to be considered by the owner himself.
Among the wealthy families who defected to Wang Jing, the Lu family of Jiangdong, where Lu Xun lived, and the Xie family of Chen County who defected not long ago are the most eye-catching.
However, in comparison, only Xie An and Xie Xuan of the Xie family in Chen County were capable.
In addition, there is Xie Lingyun, Xie An's grandson.
Xie Lingyun's literary talent is better than that of brothers Lu Ji and Lu Yun. He has already reached the ninth level based on his literary talent and his practice of Confucianism and Taoism.
But for a ninth-level civil servant like Xie Lingyun, Wang Jing could only put him in the secret writing prison to write proclamations for him, as well as various articles used in ceremonies and etiquette.
Just like Chen Lin to Yuan Shao. The effect is the same.
In addition to the talents of the aristocratic families, there are also father and son Zhou Fang and Zhou Chu who were also born in Jiangdong. and Niu Gao, a general from the Song Dynasty.
Zhou Chu’s name. Wang Jing was very familiar with Zhou Chu, the famous man who eliminated the three evils.
After coming to the world of China, Wang Jing studied the history books for a period of time, and then he realized that Zhou Chu, who eliminated the three evils, was actually a rather tragic and famous general.
His father was Zhou Fang, the general of Soochow who broke his hair to earn money from Cao Xiu.
After the fall of Soochow, Zhou Chu became a general in the Western Jin Dynasty.
It's a pity that because of his uprightness, he offended the ministers of the court and the prince of the Sima family.
When the Di Qiang rebelled in Guanzhong, the Western Jin Dynasty officials deliberately sent him to quell the rebellion. Before going to Guanzhong, others advised him not to go. He would definitely die if he went, and Zhou Chu also knew his danger.
However, he was born in Soochow and was despised by the Western Jin Dynasty courtiers. If the imperial court ordered a general and he did not dare to go, his reputation would be ruined and his clan would be harmed...
After going to Guanzhong, he was appointed as the vanguard and led 5,000 troops. He was besieged by 70,000 enemy troops.
Sima Tong, the general of the Western Jin Dynasty, deliberately sent him to die. Zhou Chu and his five thousand elite soldiers were eventually wiped out...
These generals in the late Eastern Wu Dynasty in history did not end well after the collapse of Eastern Wu and defected to the Western Jin Dynasty. All of them, including Wen Qin and Wenyang, were deliberately persecuted by the courtiers of the Western Jin Dynasty. As a result, many famous generals died in vain.
If generals like Wen Yang and Zhou Chu were still there, the Sima family would not be so miserable after the Yongjia Rebellion, and the 100,000 Jin troops in Ningping City would not be under the command of the so-called Qingliu famous officials Wang Yan and others. , was destroyed by Shi Le with his light cavalry.
"Xie An's reputation is really useful. As soon as the news of Xie's defection from Chen County spread, it attracted Jiangdong's Lu family, as well as Zhou Fang and his son..."
Wang Jing sighed secretly.
He knew that the reasons why these people defected to him were not only optimistic about his ability to achieve hegemony, but also the Xie family of Chen County and Xie An.
Although Xie An was a famous official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Lu Xun and Zhou Fang were both famous generals in Soochow, and they were still before Xie An.
However, the Xie family in Chen County and the Wang family in Langya were both famous families, and their influence was very important. Lu Xun also saw that there was a big family that dared to defect to the Huai army, so he showed up with his clan members.
The last more conspicuous name on the list is Niu Gao from the Song Dynasty.
This general of the Yue Family Army was obviously not strong enough to reach the ninth level and must have arrived long ago. However, he did not go to the Southern Song Dynasty, but to the Huai Army at this time.
Obviously Niu Gao was not loyal to the Song Dynasty because of what happened to Yue Fei and himself.
Niu Gao is also a person who is rough on the outside but subtle on the inside, and has his own plans. He knew that his abilities were limited, and he could not become a general in any force unless he was a ninth-level warrior.
And with his eighth-level strength, he can guarantee that he will become an upper-middle-class general at any time...
So he kept hiding and waited until the situation in the southeast gradually became clear before he decided to defect to the strongest.
Among the many talents who came to seek refuge this time, Wang Jing could see everyone's plans. Including Zhang Juzheng, known as the true prime minister of the Ming Dynasty...
but.
Except for Lu Xun, Zhang Juzheng, and Wei Rui, Wang Jing did not summon these talented people who came to seek refuge one by one. Instead, he arranged them with great gifts to the recruitment hall and temporarily rewarded them with a idle position.
Among them, big families like the Lu family were given special mansions to stay in.
The reason why these talented people defected was before Wang Jing proclaimed himself emperor and ascended the throne.
The reason is to gain the reputation of a founding minister.
Regarding this point, Wang Jing satisfied their wishes. As long as they are talents of the seventh level or above, civil servants will be posted as secretaries and idle officials, and military generals will be posted as guards.
By the time their accession to the throne was over, they could be considered the last wave of founding ministers.
Being able to take advantage of the opportunity of founding the country and ascending the throne to directly become official officials, Wang Jing did not need to put them at the bottom to grind, and he was directly employed.
This is the best of both worlds.
…
In Yangzhou City, in a large mansion near Beicheng.
Lu Xun had just ordered his son Lu Kang to resettle his clan members, when attendants came to report, and an acquaintance came to the door with a message.
He read the name on the post, his expression changed, and he immediately asked someone to open the door to greet him.
"I've met Mr. Zijing!"
It was Lu Su who delivered the post.
At the gate of the house, Lu Xun, his son Lu Kang, and his grandson Lu Ji and Lu Yun were waiting in front of the house to greet them. Gave Lu Su great respect.
As the third governor of Soochow, Lu Xun was very respectful to Zhou Yu and Lu Su.
"Hahaha, Boyan, it's been so long!"
Lu Su laughed and looked at the people in front of him calmly.
Among them, Lu Xun looked to be in his twenties or thirties, about the same age as his son Lu Kang and his two grandsons...
The generals in the world of China, as long as they are ninth-level warriors, can have longevity far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even if he is fifty or sixty years old, he is still in his prime.
Therefore, Lu Xun can still maintain the appearance of his youth even when he is a hundred years old. None of this is surprising.
Lu Xun had a refined and gentle temperament, and was completely different from the famous generals who led the army. He and Zhou Yu were both representatives of Confucian generals. They looked like civil servants, but in fact they had the military and strategic talents to command hundreds of thousands of troops.
Lu Kang's temperament was very similar to Lu Xun's, but in front of Lu Xun, he deliberately took a step back and did not show any aura.
According to the etiquette of the Three Kingdoms period, even if acquaintances visit each other, they must post in advance to agree on a time. This is the so-called etiquette among aristocratic families and celebrities...
But after arriving in the world of China, people from many eras lived together, and these etiquettes were simplified a lot.
After all, there are billions of creatures in the world of China, and the famous people who come from aristocratic families are just a drop in the ocean. In addition, China has a vast territory, and it is difficult for celebrities of the same generation to find an acquaintance.
Lu Xun and Lu Su exchanged a few greetings. Then he invited the other party into the main hall to drink tea and talk.
"I just came to Yangzhou with the Second Young Master, Yuan Tan and Zhang Gong, and I heard the news about Boyan. From now on, you and I will serve under King Huai again, what a great fate!"
Lu Su moistened his lips with tea and smiled.
Lu Xun smiled modestly.
Lu Su simply mentioned the three words "Second Young Master", and then the two of them put Sun Quan aside in a tacit understanding and talked about the situation of Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao and the original officials in Jiangdong.
For example, Gu Yong has successfully entered the Hubu among the six ministries as a doctor. Although he is not as powerful as when he was in Soochow, he can still be regarded as successful and became a minister of Prince Huai.
Lü Meng and Gan Ning were also appointed as generals in the army.
"The King of Huai is able to ignore past grudges and appoint Jiangdong generals, which shows that he has a broad mind. He will definitely be able to capture Jinling in the future and become the lord of ten thousand chariots..."
Lu Xun sighed slightly.
"Bo Yan is right. Although the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River captured the land of the Jin army, it first fought with Liu Song and then attacked the Jin army. It took several months to reorganize and restore the army's combat strength."
"If our army goes south now, we will definitely win a great victory!"
Lu Su smiled.
Both of them are top talents in history. When talking about the Ming Dynasty, they paid more attention to the combination of emperors and ministers such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun, but both of them also believed that the Ming army would definitely be defeated.
The advantage of the Huai Army is really too great.
Without discussing, the two knew that when they attacked the Ming Dynasty in the future, they would definitely attack Dongwu in the same way, attacking all the way west from Danyang and Jingkou, and the other way down the river from Dangtu to Jinling.
The key point of the Ming army is Jinling. As long as Jinling is captured, no matter how large the Ming army is in the south, it will be disintegrated.
As for whether the Huai army can capture Jinling...
There is no doubt about this.
According to Wang Jing's habit, future troops will inevitably be dispatched with a million troops, bringing with them a large number of ninth-level experts. If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant, let alone a million elite troops.
While the two were talking.
There was a sudden noise outside, and the noise became louder and louder. It passed through the heavy walls and was clearly heard by everyone in the entire mansion.
It was a sound coming from the street outside.
Lu Xun and Lu Su looked at each other and went out together. When they came to the gate, they saw many people on the street gathering in the direction of the palace.
"Is this... people urging people to come in?"
The mental strength and senses of the two of them are far beyond ordinary people. Seeing the scenes on the street and listening to the slogans of the people, they still don't know what this situation means.
Most of the process of three resignations and three concessions had already been completed before Lu Su came to Yangzhou.
There is only one last attempt to persuade him to come in.
First, the close ministers, then all the civil and military officials, and finally the representatives of the people... three attempts to persuade Wang Jing to come forward meant that Wang Jing had gained the support of the people of heaven and earth and the support of all officials.
"It's a pity that I came to Yangzhou a little late. If I had arrived in Yangzhou during the second time of persuasion, I could still have participated and let the second young master get a qualification!"
Lu Su sighed secretly in his heart.
After a while.
In the distance, from the direction of the imperial palace, there was a loud cheering sound. The sound soared into the sky and covered almost half of the city.
"Long live Long live Long live……"
I heard the deafening shouts of the people in the distance.
Lu Su and Lu Xun couldn't help but have something strange on their faces. A brand new dynasty appeared in front of them.
The whole city was filled with cheers of long live, full of support and love for your Majesty.
This kind of public sentiment is like a torrent that changes the world, shocking the hearts of all smart people.
…
After finishing the process of three resignations and three concessions.
Wang Jing returned to the quiet room in the palace. After the people persuaded him to enter, although he was in a calm mood, he could not help but feel a little emotional at this time.
at the same time.
He could feel that in the sky above the entire Yangzhou City, many strands of Qi suddenly increased, and hundreds of rivers returned to the sea, converging towards the Qi dragon, and his own Qi was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the incense burner, green smoke formed by ambergris rose in curls.
Like a straight line, it rises directly to the top of the hall, and the entire quiet room is filled with a faint fragrance. There are also refreshing spices in the incense burner, which can make people's minds clear and their emotions stable.
Wang Jing secretly operated the method. He placed a large mercury mirror in front of him and used his spiritual eyes to observe the changes in his own Qi.
After successively destroying several princes in the south.
Wang Jing's Qi has reached its limit. The dragon transformed by Qi is almost indistinguishable from a real dragon, except for some differences in some places.
From the point of view of Qi, Wang Jing already had the foundation for establishing a country and proclaiming himself emperor.
However, major events in the world cannot be determined solely by Qi numbers. Those who believe deeply in Qi numbers will easily be confused by Qi numbers.
Wang Jing still followed the steps step by step, at his own pace, and got to where he is today steadily step by step.
At this time, his Qi has turned into a golden auspicious cloud. Deep in the auspicious cloud, the cyan Qi, which represents the favor of the world consciousness, has turned into a pillar of light.
This cyan light pillar is surrounded by purple energy and is filled with the aura of the supreme and noble.
It is also like a beam that stands upright from the sky, becoming the core and foundation of the golden auspicious clouds.
Wang Jing had an inexplicable feeling.
If he uses this cyan beam of light, the Dharma condensed by the seventh level and above strong men within a radius of ten miles will be cut off, as well as the channels connected with the vitality of heaven and earth.
Even the Tao and law aura formed by the laws of heaven and earth comprehended by the ninth-level experts will become invisible.
"This is... the Dragon Qi Forbidden Law. It is also favored by heaven and earth and protected by hundreds of spirits!"
Wang Jing felt enlightened in his heart.
Qi is said to be useful. If you run into an opponent with stronger Qi than yourself at the critical moment, you will die faster.
But it’s not right to say it’s useless. If you don’t have energy, even a sip of cold water can clog your teeth.
When the king uses the method of gathering people to gather the Qi of hundreds of millions of people in the dynasty and turn it into dragon Qi for national destiny, the king's Qi is linked to the dynasty.
The Qi of hundreds of millions of beings can be turned into real and tangible power in a world of high martial arts like the Divine World.
Billions of living beings, incomparably huge cause and effect. As long as the dynasty's national destiny is still there, no strong person who practices immortality, Taoism, and law can break through the confinement of the emperor's dragon energy.
This is also a benefit for Wang Jing.
At least it made most of the ninth-level civil and military personnel lose most of their strength in front of him, unable to threaten his safety.
"Liu Yu is also an emperor, but Liu Song's Qi is not enough to condense the Dragon Qi Forbidden Technique..."
"Only when your power reaches a certain level can you have such benefits!"
"It seems that in the current world of China, only a few people such as the First Emperor, Liu Che, Liu Xiu, and Li Shimin can protect their bodies with dragon energy and possess some of the powers of the true emperor..."
Wang Jing saw it clearly.
This so-called Dragon Qi Forbidden Law is essentially a small part of the power in the Chinese world. In the future, as this authority becomes bigger and more important, Wang Jing will step by step become an emperor, and even the one who controls the world's authority, the Emperor of Heaven!
