Chapter 193 The Strength of Dashang
Since the Su Kingdom has colluded with the remnants of the demon clan, annihilating them will, to a certain extent, weaken Lu Ya.
As the prince of the demon clan, Lu Ya is the only heir to Emperor Jun. As long as he is alive, the luck of the demon clan will spontaneously converge on him.
After all, the Monster Clan was once the hegemon of heaven and earth. Even though it has declined now, in terms of strength, it can still be ranked among the top ten among all races, and it is the first hegemon in the world.
It is true that because of the deliberate suppression by the human race, the life of the demon clan is very difficult, and they do not have the style of a big clan at all, but this does not deny the power of the demon clan.
Therefore, there is a lot of luck left in the demon clan, and when it is gathered on Lu Ya's body, it can bring him a huge increase.
They are also the second generation, but the disciples of the saint are not as good as Lu Ya, a sinner. The fate of the demon clan is the key.
The stronger his luck, the harder it is to kill him. If Ao Bing wants to deal with Lu Ya, the first thing he has to do is to find a way to weaken his luck.
The luck of the sun is difficult to reduce, but as for the luck of the demon clan, as long as it can severely damage the remaining demon clan, its luck can be weakened by half immediately.
As the trigger of the Lich War, Lu Ya's ability to survive to this day is all due to his strong luck. If his luck can be cut off, then he is probably not far from death.
...
At the meeting of the princes, everyone was quarreling over the division of territory. On the other side, Ao Bing and Huang Feihu had begun to mobilize troops and prepare for the crusade against Yousu.
As the saying goes, troops are valuable and speed is important. Since you have decided to fight, you cannot delay. The sooner you send troops, the better. It is best to capture Su State before the alliance between princes ends.
In this way, we can severely shock the participating princes and make them cooperate honestly in setting up the void passage.
At the same time, this move will also help the merchants to re-establish their prestige and prevent the princes from being rebellious.
Why was Zhou able to overthrow the Great Shang? The reason was the same as that of Great Shang's ability to overthrow the Xia Dynasty. They both lost the support of the princes of the world.
The princes are the minions of the human king. If the human king loses the support of the princes, it is equivalent to a tiger without its minions. Its strength will be greatly reduced, and it is normal to be overthrown.
But if the great merchants can still get the support of the princes of the world, then no matter how strong the Zhou Dynasty is ten times, they will never be able to overthrow it.
To win the world is to win the supporters of the princes, this is the way of the world. Ao Bing is a member of the party that protects merchants, so he can't just think about himself when doing things, but also consider big merchants.
We need to find ways to reverse the image of the great merchants in the minds of the princes, so that they can put away their disobedience and become obedient again. Only in this way can the society of Dashan be stable.
Taking advantage of the crusade against the Soviet Union to re-establish the prestige of the Great Shang was just the beginning. In the follow-up, Ao Bing had a series of plans, such as promoting the diversion of water from the Tianhe River to Tongtianze.
The prestige of the great merchants fell sharply. In the final analysis, it was due to the weakening of national power. The easiest way to change this is to make Dashang strong again.
And if you want to make Dashang stronger, diverting the water from the Tianhe River into Tongtianze is the key. As long as the princes in the world see that Tongtianze has been restored, they will naturally understand that the resurgence of great business has appeared.
If you don’t want to cause disaster, it’s best to continue to obey the big merchants and listen to their orders as before.
If Dashang is stable, it is equivalent to Jiejiao being stable. In this catastrophe of killing gods and gods, although there will still be losses, the foundation will not be shaken.
"Hey, I've tried my best to repay my kindness. If it still doesn't work out, it can only be God's will, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Thinking of his plan, Ao Bing couldn't help but sigh. . The reason why he worked so hard to plan for Jiejiao and Dashang was partly for his own personal gain, and partly to repay his kindness. The leader of Tongtian Cult accepted him as his disciple, and in order to repay his kindness, he should try his best to preserve Jie Cult. Di Xin gave him a ray of emperor's spirit and helped him catch Nezha. In order to repay this kindness, he must also try his best to protect Dashang.
But manpower is limited, and all he can do is do his best and feel no regrets. As for whether it can succeed in the end, it can only depend on God's will.
……
"The elite of the Great Shang are the Black Bird Guards. They are all selected from the nobles' children. There are 100,000 people in total. The weakest one is Lianxu. He wears black armor and holds a mysterious spear. Even if he fights against 100,000 heavenly soldiers, he can Victory."
"Under the Xuantiao Guard are the private armies of the major nobles, with a total of about one million people. Their cultivation is similar to that of the soldiers and generals of the Dragon Palace. They are all innate cultivation. "
"After that, there is the slave army, which is composed of slaves and has the largest number. It usually numbers about ten million people. During a war, the scale can even expand to more than one billion people. "
< br>"In the past, the slave army had little combat power. They were mostly mortals, and there were not many monks in the acquired realm. They were all used as cannon fodder."
"But since he succeeded to the throne, he has repeatedly broken the law. Tradition actually began to reuse slaves and select their talents for training, which gave the slave army a little more combat power and barely played a role. "
Leaving Tongtianze and on the way to Chaoge, Huang Feihu briefly introduced the situation of Dashang's army to Ao Bing.
One hundred thousand to refine the void, one million to be innate.
How should I put it? This strength is definitely stronger than that of Donghai Dragon Palace, but it is not worthy of the status of Dashang.
As an orthodox human race, not to mention the great merchants, there are still millions of void-refining monks. One hundred thousand? If this spreads out, everyone will think that there is no one in the human race.
No wonder the princes are dissatisfied with the great merchants. This strength is really not worthy of the status of the common leader of the world.
Not to mention the time of Emperor Yu, there were hundreds of millions of immortals in Kyushu alone. At the beginning of the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, one hundred thousand refining the void was nothing. One hundred thousand immortals could be gathered together, and the heavenly soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to go down to the world easily.
It has only been a few million years, how come the Great Shang has been reduced to the level of only one hundred thousand practitioners? The descendants of future generations are really unfilial and unworthy of the inheritance left by their ancestors!
Furthermore, this is not the key point. It is okay if the national power is declining. As long as the top and bottom are united, even if the great merchants cannot be revived, the current situation can be maintained to some extent.
But Ao Bing heard Huang Feihu's tone and realized that there was probably no unity within Dashang and there was a fierce fight.
There is no doubt that Huang Feihu is a loyal minister of Dashang, and he is even more loyal to Emperor Xin. But even so, when he mentioned Di Xin's appointment of slaves, his tone was still filled with dissatisfaction.
This is true even for his confidants, let alone the rest of the people. It is estimated that there are many people within Dashang who are dissatisfied with Emperor Xin.
There are powerful enemies watching from the outside, and internal fighting is still going on. It is not without reason that the great merchants were destroyed.
However, Ao Bing can understand the reasons for the infighting among big merchants. Every era has its own rules. The rule of this era is to put family members first.
Whether it is a human king or a prince, if you want to appoint officials, you need to choose them from among your clan members. And clan members are nobles.
When selecting officials, nobles must be selected. This is the rule of this era, and what Emperor Xin did, appointing slaves, violated this rule.
