Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 222 The upgrade is complete, Human Immortal Dao Foundation!
"Your Majesty's order."

Tang Xiangjin said lightly, without further explanation. According to Daqi's military regulations, unless it is a general who needs to participate in the operation, he cannot disclose military information to others. Violators will be dealt with by the military regulations.

This is also to ensure that the military situation will not be discovered by the enemy. The price of leaking the military situation is extremely high. This time the Jurchens are an excellent example. If it wasn't for Su Hao's order to tell Sun Chengzong the news that the Jurchens still have a group of hidden masters, this would be a great deal. It was the Ming army that suffered heavy losses in World War I.

"Don't worry, the governor, the officials will definitely guard the Weicheng of Gaizhou, people are in the city."

Hearing this, Wang Lian didn't ask any more questions, but nodded decisively. There are now more than 3 soldiers and horses in Gaizhou Weicheng, and in the past two years, Gaizhou Weicheng has also expanded and increased a lot. City has no problems.

"Ah."

Tang Xiangjin responded, and after arranging the work, he took more than [-] soldiers to Zhenjiang Fort by boat.

.........

Jinan Fucheng.

In Zichen Palace, Su Hao practiced with his eyes closed, refining his own pure yang qi into strands of human immortal martial arts mana, while three natal paper figurines were immersing themselves in reviewing the memorabilia.

At this time, Su Hao's dantian has changed drastically. A streak of five-color brilliance revolves around a brilliance in the center of the dantian. The five-color brilliance is the unique magic power of human immortal martial arts. Occasionally, among the five-color brilliance, there will be a streak of golden brilliance. The qi looming, it is the pure yang qi that has not been fully refined.

While refining the pure yang energy in his dantian, Su Hao is studying the meridians of his whole body. He doesn't know whether he is still a human being now, because at this time, his eight extraordinary meridians and twelve serious meridians have been completely exhausted. It disappeared, leaving only Dantian.

Human Immortal Martial Arts mana does not go through the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve serious meridians like before, but walks between the flesh and blood of the whole body, and every time the mana walks, he can feel that his physical body has become stronger. At this point, his physical body is no worse than those top-notch practitioners.

More importantly, he is not like those horizontal martial arts practitioners who rely on external force to squeeze the body's potential. When those horizontal martial arts practitioners reach old age, most of them will run out of fuel and suffer from all kinds of diseases. He can feel that his While the physical body is getting stronger, the vitality is also getting stronger.

Thinking of this, Su Hao looked at the system panel:

Host: Su Hao

Identity: Emperor Daqi

Natal Kungfu: [Human Immortal Martial Arts]

Spells: [Scattering Paper into Soldiers] [Secret Controlling Paper] [Paper Man Rune Array] [Paper Man Tracing Art] [Paper Armor Art] [Paper Bird Art] [Spiritual General] [Paper Man Formation] [Demon Spirit Paper Armor] [Spiritual Treasure Secret Jade Emperor Heart Printing Sutra] (cannot be practiced)

Yuan Mystery Technique: [Four Books and Five Classics] [Nine-tailed White Fox Contemplates Thoughts] [Distracted Thoughts] [Huang Liang Yi Meng]

Martial arts: [Pure Yang Wuji Kungfu] (cannot be practiced) [Yuan Yuan Jue] [Yunlong Trifold] [Paper Knife]

Enlightenment points: 4464
The upgrade of the system this time was far beyond his imagination. It took half a year to upgrade, and there were also huge changes. Not only did he lose his proficiency in the past, but even the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu and Spiritual Power that he had practiced before. The secret of the treasure, the Jade Emperor's Heart Seal, turned black, indicating that it cannot be practiced.

He also speculates about the reason why these two exercises became unpracticable. It is estimated that his body has changed and has become a physique that is only suitable for human beings and martial arts. This means that he will not even have the possibility of switching to cultivation .

As for the disappearance of proficiency, he has tried it before, and now he wants to comprehend a spell, and he directly comprehends it to the perfect state of reaching the pinnacle. Of course, the consumption is the same, but the previous installment situation is gone.

For him, this is a considerable loss, which means that there is no need for him to learn some skills that are not very important, because it is not worthwhile.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Hao closed his eyes again and concentrated on refining the remaining pure yang qi. Now the pure yang qi in his body is less than 20% of what it was originally. There will be more than [-] or [-] days at most. The Gang Qi is almost refined.

As for the Immortal Dao Foundation, it had already been built when the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Orthodox Meridians in his body disappeared. The essence of the Human Immortal Dao Foundation is to change his physique into the exclusive physique of the Immortal Martial Dao.

.........

Beijing.

Qianqing Palace.

"Trash! Trash!"

Zhu Youjian's roar resounded throughout the palace, and all the court ladies and eunuchs held their breaths, not even daring to breathe, for fear that they would be drawn into the wrath of Zhu Youjian who was in a rage.

"Your Majesty calm down, it is important to take care of the dragon body."

Below, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said in relief.

"Now the rogue bandits in Shaanxi have spread to Shanxi, how can you calm me down?"

Zhu Youjian's face turned red. A few years ago, he asked Yang He to exterminate the gangsters as the governor of the three sides. In the past few years, Yang He's good news has been constant, either to appease this gang of gangsters, or to put down that gang of gangsters, but this Over the past few years, the rebellion in Shaanxi has not subsided, but has intensified, and now it has caused chaos in most of Shanxi.

"My dear friends, what should we do in Shaanxi now?"

After calming down a bit, Zhu Youjian asked. Although Yang He had been ordered to be thrown into prison by him, the rebellion in Shaanxi had to be dealt with. Now it has only caused chaos in most of Shanxi. If it can't be dealt with in time, it won't take long. It will affect Henan, and it will be really chaotic.

Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren kept silent. Now there is a big hole in Shaanxi, and whoever wins will be unlucky. The main method is a common method used in the face of natural disasters and rebellions in the past dynasties.

But Yang He forgot that the imperial court had no money or food to relieve the disaster. There were 40 or [-] people who participated in the rebellion in Shaanxi, and there were many people who did not participate. With so many people, the food they needed was a huge number.

The food needed by the victims alone is more than 300 million shi, and Shaanxi is remote, and food is sent thousands of miles away. At least 800 million shi of food is barely enough to relieve the disaster. Might have to double it.

With so much food, even if the court was dismantled and sold, it would not be able to get together, so Yang He's appeasement was meaningless at all. Press the gourd and scoop it up. Unless the natural disaster disappears, there is no hope for countering the rebellion. It doesn't matter who goes.

"Zhou Aiqing, who do you think should be sent to Shaanxi to preside over the overall situation?"

Seeing no one answered, Zhu Youjian couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian named him by name, Zhou Yanru did not dare to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he could only take a step forward, and after a long silence, he said: "Return to Your Majesty, I think the situation in Shaanxi is too complicated, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are not willing to If you don’t understand, rashly sending ministers from the DPRK and China will only mess up the situation, it’s better to select available talents from the officials who are suppressing the rebellion in Shaanxi and take over the counter-rebellion affairs.”

Although he also wanted to throw his opponent in the middle of the court into the big pit of Shaanxi, but based on his understanding of Zhu Youjian, if the person he recommended failed to achieve results, then Zhu Youjian would definitely get him angry.

"Who does Zhou Aiqing think can take over?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian's expression softened a little, and now he has become more and more impatient with the party tactics in the court, especially for cabinet ministers like Zhou Yanru, but Zhou Yanru's suggestion is not mixed with too much selfishness.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that the cabinet can draw up the list first, and the court will recommend it tomorrow morning."

Zhou Yanru bowed and replied, he didn't intend to cheat anyone, but he didn't want to take the blame either. It's better for the court to push this kind of thing early, even if there is a problem, everyone will take the blame together.

"Then the cabinet will draw up the list first."

Zhu Youjian said lightly.

...

On the other hand, on the Liaodong battlefield at this time, Sun Chengzong still adhered to Yuan Chonghuan's tactics of advancing step by step and building more castles, and began to build castles at a distance of more than a hundred miles between Haizhou Weicheng and Liaoyang City.

In the camp of the Ming army, Sun Chengzong looked at the sand table map on the table and frowned.

"Jinglue, now that we have the upper hand, the Jurchens have retreated to Liaoyang City, why is Jinglue still depressed?"

Looking at Sun Chengzong who was frowning tightly, He Kegang couldn't help but wonder, now that the situation is good, why is Sun Chengzong frowning instead.

"The battle line is too long."

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong sighed, pointed to the sand table and said, "Before, there were a large number of castles in Guangningwei. Although there were more than 5 lands, there were [-] people in logistics, plus Zu Dashou and Zhao led the cavalry. It can also defend against the Jurchens."

"But now there are more than a hundred miles of battle lines, and the terrain from Liaoyang City to Haizhou Weicheng is vast, and the Jurchen cavalry is difficult to deal with."

It is very difficult to defend the front line of nearly [-] miles, especially the Jurchens have an absolute advantage in cavalry. Zu Dashou and Zhao Shoujiao are definitely not the opponents of the nearly [-] cavalry of the Jurchens. Once the cavalry suffers heavy losses In this situation, the defense line at the back is even more difficult to defend.

"Jing Lue, what should we do then?"

He Kegang also showed worry when he heard Sun Chengzong's words. The cavalry under the command of Zu Dashou and Zhao Liaojiao were defeated by the Jurchens before, and then the Guangning Guards were allowed to come and go freely by the Jurchens, which almost caused problems with their food and grass.

After that, it took Zu Dashou and Zhao Ratejiao more than half a year to replenish the cavalry. If they were defeated again this time, there would definitely be problems with the food and grass on their side.

"I have already asked the imperial court for an increase in salary to train cavalry, and the others can only take one step at a time."

Sun Chengzong sighed. Although he submitted the memorial to ask for payment, he was not sure that the imperial court would agree, because he also knew that the imperial court really had no money. The 20 troops supporting Liaodong had already exhausted the imperial court's vitality. .

.........

Phoenix city.

At this time, [-] troops gathered in Phoenix City, and the entire Phoenix City was surrounded by continuous military tents.

In the lobby, Tang Xiangjin, Luo Yi and many governors gathered around the sand table map.

Pan Ping cupped his hands and said, "Commander, now Tongyuan Fort, Lianshan Pass, and Weining Camp have all been captured, and beyond that is Fengji Fort. After passing Fengji Fort, you will be outside Shenyang City."

"Old Tang, do you really want to attack Shenyang City?"

Looking at the crooked official road on the sand table, Luo Yi frowned. Although there is an official road from Zhenjiang Fort to Shenyang City, the distance is too far, more than 400 miles away.

Transporting food and grass over such a long distance consumes a lot. Although Da Qi has opened up a lot of arable land in Liaodong in the past two years and harvested a lot of food, he can't stand the consumption.

"This is His Majesty's order."

Tang Xiangjin glanced at Luo Yi indifferently, and said: "Besides, Shenyang City is related to whether we can gain a firm foothold in Liaodong. If the Ming army takes this place and occupies the vast land beyond Shenyang City, there will be no logistical worries. It is impossible for us to gain a foothold here in Liaodong."

Daming has been operating in Liaodong for more than 200 years, and most of its energy is in the plain area from Shenyang City to Jinzhou City. There are a lot of rivers here and the terrain is flat.

Over the past 200 years, Ming has developed a large amount of arable land here. The Jurchen can feed so many soldiers and horses. The main reason is the large area of ​​arable land. If Daming occupies it, then the food that Ming needs to transport from the pass will be greatly reduced.

At that time, Da Ming can use these grains to recruit more soldiers. Da Qi's strength is not as good as that of Da Ming, and if Da Ming is relieved, Da Qi will be in big trouble.

That's why Su Hao decided to attack Shenyang City from the other side at this time, and wanted to occupy Shenyang City in advance. For this reason, Su Hao also dispatched another [-] soldiers from Shandong to Liaodong.

You must know that today's Daqi only has 26 soldiers and horses, but now there are 13 soldiers and horses sent to Liaodong, and half of the troops are in Liaodong. This is also a big gamble.

After a pause, Tang Xiangjin looked at Jin Haowen, Qianhu of the Black Ice Terrace, and asked, "Jin Qianhu, how is the situation at Daming?"

It has been nearly two months since Haizhou Acropolis was breached, and the Ming army should have taken action.

"Returning to the governor, according to reports from the spies, the Ming army has captured Dongsheng Fort, Changning Fort, and Changding Fort. It seems that they want to open a new official road along the side wall to transport grain and grass."

Hearing Tang Xiangjin's words, Jin Haowen clapped his hands and replied.

"Closely monitored."

Hearing this, Tang Xiangjin narrowed his eyes slightly. The more pressure the Ming army put on the Jurchens, the more likely they would take Shenyang City.

"Old Luo, you take [-] troops to the Weining Camp, and are responsible for strengthening the Weining Camp, at least up to the height of the walls of the Acropolis of Gaizhou."

After pondering for a long time, Tang Xiangjin continued: "At the same time, people will start delivering food and grass to Weiningying. At least we must stock up enough food for 8 of us for a year. Next is a tough battle!"

This time, they won't just be fighting the Jurchens, they might also have to fight the Ming army, because it's impossible for the Ming army to sit back and watch them occupy Shenyang City.

"it is good."

Hearing Tang Xiangjin's words, Luo Yi nodded. This time the main general is Tang Xiangjin. As the deputy general, he naturally has to obey orders.

...

Time passed day by day. Although the Ming army was advancing slowly, it never stopped. It took a full three months to build more than a dozen towers over a distance of a hundred miles from Haizhou Weicheng to Liaoyang City. The castle pushed the battle line to the city of Liaoyang.

At the same time, Tang Xiangjin also rushed to Fort Weining with the remaining [-] troops.

All of a sudden, the whole Liaodong was once again in a state of turmoil!
