Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 248
He took Eunuch Gao back to the government office, opened a separate room, and invited him to drink tea.

Facing the steaming cup of green tea on the table, Eunuch Gao felt like he wanted to cry without tears.

Coming to Rakshasa Sea Continent this time was a hard job. He didn't want to come at all, but he couldn't disobey it.

No matter how drudgery it is, I never expected that it would turn into a fatal errand.

Looking at Chen Jin and others, they all look so vicious that they almost have the word "anti" carved on their foreheads.

To serve as an imperial envoy in the territory of the rebels is to seek death, isn't it?
The funny thing is that at the beginning, I was still thinking about putting on a show.

"Mr. Chen, I'm just here to announce the decree. It won't do any good if you kill me."

Eunuch Gao said with a sad face.

Chen Jin sat down opposite and said with a straight face: "Whether or not to kill depends on whether you are worthy of cooperation and whether you can show your usefulness."

"Master Chen, you can ask questions, but if I know something, I won't dare to hide it."

"it is good."

What followed was a series of questions and answers, which went on quite harmoniously and happily.

Eunuch Gao was a native of the capital. He often went in and out of the Forbidden City. What he saw and heard could easily write a "Secret History of the Great Inner Palace".

Through him, Chen Jin obtained a lot of valuable intelligence information.

But after all, Eunuch Gao was not a popular person in front of the new emperor. If he were a popular person, he would not be able to take on this hard job.

Therefore, the two key core situations of the new emperor and Zhu Changgong are still unknown and appear to be obscure and mysterious.

But it was enough for Chen Jin to learn so much information at once, including many changes in the situation in the Central Plains.

The first thing is to make sure that the imperial court has no time to go to sea, then he can develop with peace of mind.

Disobeying an order is a serious crime, but with the current situation, who cares?
Eunuch Gao is under house arrest in the government office. This guy is considered to have some professional skills. If he can be reformed well, he can still be of some help.

As for the rest, there's not much to say.

Focus on economic development with one hand; focus on military camp soldiers with the other, and strive to train a well-trained elite army as soon as possible, which can be put to great use.

Chen Jin himself took advantage of this great opportunity to study the "Sanli Jing" in depth to improve his personal strength.

Martial arts cultivation, the peak of marrow cleansing, reaching the threshold of the fourth realm, there are faint signs of breakthrough.

During this process, Cui Qizhao and Cui Qizhao had a close relationship and met frankly. He gave her massage to heal her injuries, and she also gave him pointers. They complemented each other and made progress together.

The realm of Yuanshen has also reached a key point. After occupying the palace, he will become the "Yang Shen".

The so-called "Yang Shen" means that the Yuan Shen has grown vigorously and reached a strong point. Its resistance to pressure has doubled, and there are no longer so many taboos. Even during the day, it dares to come out in the scorching sun.

This will be a huge improvement.

You must know that almost all spells are limited by the strength of the soul. As long as the soul is better, the use of spells and the power they can exert will be greatly improved.

The final "morality" is impossible to achieve in this period of time. It must rely on accumulation over time and hard work.

Therefore, the sage said: My life has a limit, and my study has no limit.

That's what I mean.

……

In the sixth year of Wucheng's reign, it rained heavily for half a month in the south of the Yangtze River, flooding the city; but in the north, there was a drought for several months, the crops were lost, and the refugees were like ants...

The imperial court pays tribute every year, but it intensifies and increases taxes and levies by more than ten items, making it difficult for the people to make a living.

Among the people in the city, there are many prostitutes worshiping wild gods, and they are harvesting incense and money; and in almost every state and county, rebels have risen up. The small ones are bandits, occupying the mountains and becoming kings, while the powerful ones organize soldiers to attack cities and plunder them. Village.

In order to suppress these rebels, tens of thousands of cavalrymen were mobilized from the Gyeonggi camp and dispatched in all directions.In the beginning, Neichang Tiqi's military exploits were outstanding, and wherever they went, rebels and rebels were razed to the ground.

But later, many rebels formed an alliance and gathered around Yan Nanfei, the chief helmsman of Tongwenhui, as the leader of the alliance. They formed the main force and defeated Neichang Tiqi at Yantang Pass.

In this battle, Yan Nanfei was in charge of the central army, and the commander of the front line was General Hong Youzhi.

Through this battle, the weaknesses of Neichang Tiqi were fully exposed.They are all light cavalry, used for sneak attacks, pursuits, and killings. They are invincible. However, once they fall into a hard battle, they lose their iron will and are easily defeated.

Moreover, their hard-trained archery and sword skills are far inferior to spears and spears when it comes to close combat.

After the first battle was successful, Tongwenhui's reputation was greatly shaken, and there were many people who responded; on the other hand, the new emperor's side was alienated from morality and was on the verge of collapse.

Yan Nanfei struck while the iron was hot and formally revealed his identity as a descendant of Jingwen. Holding the seal of the founding of the country, he issued a proclamation, calling on the heroes of the world to rise up and march towards the capital.

……

"A bastard is ambitious and holds an unfair position. He has no regard for the wise, but he extorts tyranny. He plunders the lives of all the people for his own personal gain, and is not worthy of being a ruler..."

In the yamen of Rakshasa Mansion, Chen Jin read a piece of prose and praised: "This article is impassioned, pointed to the point, and can stir people's hearts. It is quite good."

Qiu Bugui, who was wearing leather armor, sat on the left: "According to various intelligence feedback, the situation is now quite clear. Now Tong Wenjun has specially written a letter to invite us to send troops. Xiaolang, do you think?"

Chen Jin smiled and said: "Director Yan and I are old acquaintances. This invitation must be sincere."

Qiu Bugui asked: "I heard that he went to Raksha Haizhou to recuperate last year."

Chen Jin admitted it without hesitation, but he did not show off his close relationship with Cui Qizhao.

What's there to say about such an intimate relationship between a man and a woman?

"Then you mean to send troops?"

"As the saying goes, 'Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while.' Now, there are thousands of soldiers on the island, and they can fight. We just settle down in one corner, which is not a long-term solution. If the new emperor takes a breath and defeats the Allies, stability will After we come down, we will definitely call you.”

Qiu Buguizi agrees with this.Chen Jin seems to have established himself as king on the island, which is no different from rebellion.

What king could tolerate such a minister?
The reason why everything was safe and sound was simply because of the favorable geographical location and the chaos in the Central Plains, so the court had no time to take care of it.

But at this time, if sending troops to the Central Plains finally succeeds, the situation will be different.

For a moment, Qiu Bugui thought more and further, and sighed: "I didn't expect that in just one or two years, this situation would collapse to this extent."

Chen Jin said: "Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. In fact, many things have had bad consequences from the moment the new emperor came to power. In the past few years, there have been omens in all aspects. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, all of a sudden The child burst out."

Qiu Bugui said immediately: "Then I will go back to the camp and order troops."

Chen Jin warned: "This time we send troops to the Central Plains, we should select elite and capable men. In addition, we must leave the force to guard Luosha Haizhou to avoid a fire in the backyard."

"I understand."

Of course, Chen Jin believed in his uncle's ability. The reason why he agreed to send troops was because the situation in Rakshasa Sea Continent had long been stabilized. There was no need to worry about the rear and he could advance or retreat.

On the one hand, Gu Leyou's Izumo Temple has become the first Taoist sect on the island. Taoist temples have been opened on Datun Mountain. There are as many as a hundred disciples in the temple, becoming a new force that cannot be ignored;

On the other hand, Qiu Bumaru's Women's Army actually created a large scale for her, with as many as a thousand people, and their combat power was quite fierce.

Also, although the patrol officers under the command of Ma Shengshen are rather lacking than in excess, they are not small in number, with a total of 300 people;
The strength of these people and horses will remain on the island. With them here, Rakshasa Sea Continent can stand safely.

Chen Jin then went out with his uncle to fight hand in hand, aiming at the Central Plains.

By this time, little Chen Zheng was already able to walk and talk, and said in a sweet voice, "Daddy, have a safe journey and return in triumph!"

These words were naturally taught by Su Jin. When a husband and wife say goodbye, they are affectionate and affectionate, which is not enough for outsiders.
