Zhao Cheng stood on top of the tall city tower, while hundreds of thousands of troops were displayed in the open space outside the city.
In three years, the army under his command has swelled to 600,000. This is the result of thousands of selections. If he keeps it good or bad, his army may directly exceed 2 million.
It’s not that the people in the Southern Wilderness don’t know the dangers of fighting. In fact, Ying Tian’s army gives people the impression that they are invincible. When they conquered the Southern Wilderness, this has been proven that the danger is not great at all. What’s more,
If you join the army, the benefits will be huge. If one person joins the army, the entire family will benefit.
Under this situation, in many families with many children, even if the children are unwilling, the elders of the family want to send their children to the army.
But now, Ying Tianjun is different from the powerful people outside. Outside, they capture strong men by force, while Yingtian Army wants to squeeze in, but if you don't have any ability, you won't be able to squeeze in.
And these 600,000 are just the regular army. As far as the current system in Southern Wilderness is concerned, in addition to the regular army, there are also militiamen. The militiamen do not need to go to the battlefield, but are used to protect the security of the place. Now that there is fertilizer, it will start again in the next two years.
Breeding and grain yields are getting higher and higher, enough to support more people out of work.
Of course, militiamen usually work and farm, but they have extra merit, more training, and they need to be on duty for one or two days every month.
But if they have guns and have been trained, if there is really a shortage of soldiers, these people can be sent directly to the battlefield without more training.
As for the number of militiamen, the Southern Wilderness has now reached an astonishing two million!
You must know that the total population of Southern Wilderness is only more than 10 million, but the number of soldiers is close to 3 million. Such a structure is very unreasonable.
And this is not the limit. Under the militia, ordinary people in Southern Wilderness now, as long as they are not old, weak or disabled, will also participate in training regularly. They have touched guns and fired guns. In this group, there are at least four or five people.
million.
If this is not considered a strong army, then there will be no strong army in this world.
On the city tower, Zhao Cheng was wearing a dragon robe. His whole body gave people a jade-like texture, clear and clear, but his temperament and expression did not give people the feeling of being weak and vulnerable. The large dragon robe made him
His figure became more and more majestic and tall, like a giant.
Three years ago, he obtained the Primordial Personality, and his transformation had already begun. Although restricted by the confinement of the earth, this transformation was very slow, but it was ongoing all the time.
After all, he has condensed the characteristics of Daluo, and to a certain extent, he has broken the confinement of the earth.
And it integrates the life-long practice of the five immortals, all the wisdom, and the original personality. In addition, in the past three years, Nanhuang's support, his own practice, his body as a Taoist, and his Taoism.
, has reached a situation that ordinary people cannot even think about.
At this moment, standing behind Zhao Cheng were the civil and military personnel of the court. Three years later, some of the people behind him are still old faces, such as Lin Yi, Wei Ye, Li Tonghai... but more of them are still newcomers.
, are the talents selected during these three years.
There are many mountains in the southern wilderness, and there are also many hermits. At the beginning, these hermits were frightened by the new country, but at the same time they felt that it was against the norm and would surely die quickly.
However, the subsequent changes in Southern Wilderness caused a small number of people with lofty ideals to change their minds.
Don't mention anything else, let all the people under his rule be fed. This is already an achievement that even the ancient holy emperors failed to accomplish.
As for the Taoists in the world, they are denounced as demons.
Anyone with knowledge knows that Taoists are ruthless and unrighteous.
The so-called demons probably mean that the Tao is different.
Therefore, Zhao Cheng has gained a lot of talents in the past three years.
These people are proficient in internal affairs, flexible in mind, and have a strong ability to accept new things. They can be said to have solved a lot of troubles for Zhao Cheng.
On the city tower, Zhao Cheng waved his hand, and immediately the war drum beat and the big flag rolled on top of the city.
At the same time, the 600,000 troops under the city also shouted together at this moment:
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"..."
…
Suddenly, the shouts shook the sky and the earth, and the entire giant city seemed to be shaking along with it.
And with the peace, every soldier became more and more excited, and the military morale was constantly gathering.
Liu Guangzheng suspected that Zhao Cheng had used the Thought Seal. In fact, he was not unjustly accusing Zhao Cheng. He was now the Lord of the Southern Wilderness and was supported by the energy of all living beings in the Southern Wilderness. The invisible causal connection caused his demonic stain.
It is also dispersing towards all sentient beings.
Now, this demonic contamination has been filtered by him, and its effect cannot directly brainwash a person, but subtly influence the person, making people identify with him, his ideas, his concepts, and everything about him.
Of course, if what he does makes those affected feel pain and disgust, this recognition will naturally be invalid, but if what he does itself makes people feel that it is right and good, this subtle influence will be
Very scary.
In just three or four years, Southern Wilderness has brought all sentient beings home, and all beings are of the same mind.
The only effect of Mo Ran is to save him a lot of time. Without this effect, it would be like cooking a small country to govern a big country. He has to do it step by step and slowly. Three or four years is simply not enough.
But now, the world situation is unpredictable, Liu Guangzheng feels that if he continues to delay, Zhao Cheng will have the advantage, but Zhao Cheng knows that if he delays for a long time, the other party will have an advantage.
The potential limit of Southern Wilderness is already here. After all, the population cannot be changed out of thin air.
As for letting the old, weak, women and children fight for consumption, although he has been infected by the devil, and the devil's nature is getting deeper, but he still has the truth in his heart that he controls the devil, not the devil controls him.
The changes Mo Ran brought to him were just that he became more brutal when killing people, treated his enemies more cruelly, and liked to say a few "strong words".
It seems crazy, but it doesn't turn into madness.
"Send me the military order!
"All the troops, go to war!"
On the city tower, Zhao Cheng issued an order, and immediately, the trajectory of the swaying flag and the surging drums suddenly changed.
At this time, the troops displayed below also began to slowly surge.
Behind Zhao Cheng, hundreds of officials, both civil and military, looked at that stalwart figure and heard the movement, and their hearts were surging. Especially the group of people who followed Zhao Cheng in the first place, from a desperate situation with nothing to now king of the Southern Wilderness, with all the people.
We have millions of soldiers and want to conquer the world.
Along the way, the great cause finally saw the dawn of achievement!
As for the time for this expedition, it takes two months. Most of the plank road has been built, and the remaining part can be completed in at most one month. At this time, it is also just in time for the army to go from Yingtian City to Tianjueguan.
It's just right, not too much or too little.
However, half a month later, when the army was halfway through, a small number of them directly changed direction and plunged into the forest.
The so-called plank road was built openly and secretly in Chencang. This kind of thing has actually been used by predecessors, but the situation at that time was that no one paid attention to Shu, which made people succeed in one fell swoop.
As for Southern Wilderness, countless eyes are now staring at it, and Tian Jue Pass has been strictly guarded, with nearly a million troops stationed there.
Zhao Cheng wanted to make the enemy careless by building a plank road, but it was impossible to do so.
Furthermore, a few dynasties ago, the emperor at that time asked Taoists to use Taoism to draw a complete map of Lianshankan. All the details were clearly visible. Even if there were geological changes, it would be absolutely impossible.
