Chapter 430 Waiting
Because of the change of the Zixiao faction, all the cultivating circles of the entire Ming Dynasty except Yuguo focused on the competition for the training resources that the Zixiao faction was about to spit out. Time to gain digestion time.
These sects are still too short-sighted, or people tend to only care about immediate interests.
Not without. Those far-sighted people saw the sectarian influence on the cultivation world after the rise of the Zhong Yu Empire.
But even if they find out, so what, they have no way to sanction them.
After all, at a time when most sects tend to erode the interests of the Zixiao faction, if one's own sect is independent, it will in turn limit the development of Yuguo.
Then there is only one final outcome. Those sects annexed most of the benefits that the Zixiao faction gave up. After their strength increased, they turned around and annexed these maverick sects, and their strength became stronger and stronger.
This is the inferiority of human beings, or the inferiority of all intelligent beings. It is also the fundamental reason why people often say that the inside must be settled before the outside.
Just when all the cultivation circles in the Ming Dynasty were joining in to share the resources of the Zixiao Sect, the strength of the Yu Kingdom in the south was quietly growing.
Without the banner of Shen Xing Dao, other small sects and sects sometimes intend to resist, but they are also powerless to go against the general trend.
Not everyone has the strength of Shen Xingdao.
Most of the sects in the imperial kingdom basically have only one sixth-level celestial master in charge, and the better ones can have several. But there are no forces with seventh-order earth immortals sitting in the town, except Shen Xing Dao.
However, there is a wandering earth fairy with a lonely family. He has no concerns from any forces. He just studies alone in the barren mountains and mountains, and has never intervened in the secular world.
Zhong Yu naturally wanted to recruit this wandering Earth Immortal.
He began to send envoys to invite him, but was declined by the Earth Immortal. However, this Earth Immortal is also a sensible one. In the past two years, Yuguo's reputation has risen in Daming and surrounding countries, even this Earth Immortal who studied in the barren mountains and mountains has heard of it.
Especially the deeds of destroying the famous Shen Xing Dao some time ago, this Earth Immortal feels the same, quite sad.
Zhong Yu was naturally not reconciled when his invitation was rejected.
Whether it is for the enhancement of one's own empire background or to fill in the lack of high-level combat power. It is a great hidden danger for a seventh-level expert to wander around the territory of Yuguo without the slightest restraint.
Zhong Yu didn't intend to just let it go.
So one day, Zhong Yu personally came to the cultivation place of the earth immortal, and had a friendly exchange with him, which made him deeply feel his enthusiasm. And it made the Earth Immortal feel very grateful, Mingwu Zhongyu's sincerity followed him to the imperial capital, and as a priest of the empire, he has since become a figure in the system.
With the joining of the Earth Immortal, those small sects and families in the imperial kingdom who were still watching and not yet affected were even more frightened, and took the initiative to seek refuge, further speeding up the process of incorporation.
Three months after the incident of Shen Xingdao's destruction, the matter of sect incorporation in the entire empire has been completely completed, and all the big and small forces have been incorporated into the empire's system, becoming a high-ranking official .
Correspondingly, those rebels who were stubborn and tried to maintain their previous detached status were dealt with for crimes of treason, causing turmoil in the empire, plotting treason, etc., and thoroughly cleaned up these stubborn diseases.
After sorting out the entire empire, Zhong Yu's high-level combat power has finally expanded several times, even surpassing the average dynasty on the mainland.
Today's Yu Kingdom already has two seventh ranks including Zhong Yu, 71 sixth ranks, and more than 400 fifth ranks. It can be said that the high-level combat power has completely reached the foundation of an ordinary empire.
Even the legion at the bottom has been expanded.
Not much to say about those third-tier ordinary soldiers. Although the number has increased a bit, it is not the key to the outcome of the war in this extraordinary world.
Only after reaching the fourth-order level and forming a certain number, can you have certain qualifications to intervene in battles above the sixth-order.
Zhong Yu's fourth-tier legion, in addition to the original 15,000 mystic master legion. By recruiting local free strong men and recruiting personnel from those sect families, a fourth-tier army with an army size of about 40,000 was formed.
It's just that the composition of this legion is too mixed. Among them are warriors, Taoists, monks, scholars, and others of all kinds.
In short, basically all people in the society have it, like a pot of mishmash, too complicated and messy.
At present, in order to allow these people who are used to wandering alone on weekdays to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and truly become an army capable of conscripting and fighting, Zhong Yu specially ordered Cao Operation to be the new commander of this army and be responsible for training them.
Thinking about it, with Cao Cao's ability and methods, it won't take long for these people who usually look above the top to obediently become a forbidden army, expanding around for Zhong Yu, and attacking the city.
Because of the inclusion of those sects from his own territory, although Zhong Yu's territory has not increased, his strength has multiplied many times.
However, this is completely squeezing the potential of one's own country. Although the strength is growing rapidly now, there is no way to increase it on a large scale after that, except for expansion.
For Zhong Yu, the main goal now is to get in touch with the major sects that have just joined the system, so that they can completely return to the imperial country, and enjoy the benefits and treatment within the system, so that he can specially integrate into it.
In addition, there are strong enemies around, and it is difficult for anyone to do anything, just wait and see quietly.
Among them, the important target is Daming.
Now that the war has been fought, the Great Jin has completely consolidated the occupied five provinces in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, turning these five provinces into the land of the Great Jin.
However, if they want to continue to invade the south, as their territory shrinks on a large scale, it is almost half of what it was before, and if they lose it again, the country will almost die.
On the battlefield where the front line was fighting with the Jin Dynasty, a full 500,000 troops were dispatched, and the food and salaries were rarely paid, which greatly increased the morale of the army and improved its combat effectiveness.
Coupled with the strong men that Da Ming gnashed his teeth from all over the place, as well as the reinforcements requested from some local sects, he had a certain advantage over Da Jin at the master level, and completely stabilized the situation on the battlefield.
Now that the Great Jin has occupied the five northern provinces, there is already a trend of weak successors, and it is no longer possible to make any effective breakthroughs in the northern defense of the Great Jin.
On the other hand, Daming has completely stabilized the line of defense, and because of the persecution of the life and death crisis of the whole country, there is actually a little sign of ZTE.
Not only have many domestic officials started to do practical things, but the local government affairs have become clearer, not as dark as before, and the lives of ordinary people have become much easier.
Moreover, some new troops have also begun to be trained in the army, intending to fundamentally strengthen the strength of the Ming Dynasty as the basis for protecting the country.
In this way, Daming's strength began to grow slowly.
