Chapter 270 The general attack on the military parade, moving to the southwest

From the three counties to the six counties, it only took a few months, and the excessive expansion speed caused the foundation of Daxia to be a little unstable.

Therefore, Zhou Bocai needed methods such as setting up a heir, honoring his ancestors, and upgrading to a blessed land to calm people's hearts. At the same time, he supplemented with various recuperation policies to digest the territory and population, and stimulate the outbreak of national power.

Of course, this takes time.

After returning to Cangbei and strongly curbing Jin Guo's southward movement, Cangbei needs to garrison heavy troops, and it is not realistic to use large-scale troops on the western front.

Throughout the three years of Tongzhi, Xia's attack on Dingxi did not reach the level of destroying the country.

The direction of the border town under Zhou Yuan's command advanced five hundred miles, and he had just broken through the northern defense line of Dingxi State and captured three county towns.

At present, the Dingxi Army is relying on Pinghe County City and many military forts and ravines to confront Xia Army. Without increasing troops, it will take at least a year to completely take Pinghe County.

As for the Ningjiang Navy of Great Xia, although it has carried out many landing operations on the bank of the Dingxi River, the results achieved are limited to the capture of the port and the destruction of the Dingxi Navy.

With the advantage of the navy, Xia Jun can give Xiguo bloodletting on a regular basis, but it can't cause a fatal blow.

The moat belt along the boundary of the river is simply the perfect interpretation of Lu Ding's strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness.

Before all the power of the whole country was attacked, Dingxi was indeed able to support it with all his strength. In order to delay the arrival of the day of destroying the country, he would spare no effort at all costs.

Zhou Bai set up an engineering battalion in the army, while Lu Ding formed a master army of over [-] ranks, who were stationed between the boundary moats for a long time, constantly digging and building fortifications.

Domestic complaints abound, and the people are alienated?
Lu Ding didn't care at all, anyway, he was going to move south to Daizhou to find a way out.

When he returns to Dingzhou in the future, if he treats those untouchables better, he will naturally forget his stupidity.

As the only legitimate son of the Lu family in Dingzhou who can be on the edge of a family, and at the same time as a Qianlong, Lu Ding is a qualified political creature and a true independent husband.

He understands the "kindness" of people at the bottom very well, and those in power can gain the support of the people with just a little favor.

From September [-]st to September [-]th in the third year of Tongzhi, there were continuous starfalls and blood rains, which made people shocked and disturbed.

But once the vision is gone, how ordinary people should live or how to live has not been affected.

In the last years of Xiangxing, battleships were flying across the sky, hundreds of ghosts were walking at night, and natural disasters occurred frequently...

Who hasn't experienced the catastrophe that just passed?

Now that there are no foreign monsters invading, and the earthquake, flood and drought have not yet come, people in this chaotic world naturally live well, and they can't hide when it's time for calamity.

In the words of many people, when the sky falls, there are tall ones holding it up.

It's just that they don't know that the tall people in the world don't know the inside story, because it's a matter of heaven and outside the region.

The court of the Xia Kingdom is operating as usual. After the destruction of Dingguo, the national policy of recuperation has been implemented for nearly two years, and the six counties have formed a whole.

The national power has soared, and the Tianzhu of the National Fortune has grown to eighteen feet, which is second to none in the entire northern border, and he is a famous prince.

In fact, according to Xia Guo's current system, if it continues to be stable for another two years, it will definitely be better.

The import of grassland meat, the expansion of military training, various water conservancy and road administration projects, the increasing grain production, the popularization of spiritual rice and spiritual wheat...

Even Wu and Xian, the two extraordinary powers under the supervision of the imperial court, have developed in the long run. There are more than a hundred new innate martial arts and Taoist monks.

The Daolu Division has completed the establishment of sub-offices in various places, the talent exchange system between the "Zongmen" and the Daolu Division has been initially established, and the first martial arts competition in Daxia has been put on the agenda...

Within two years, the Heavenly Pillar of National Destiny will surely increase to twenty feet, or equal to the strongest principalities in the world, such as Qi, Wu, and Shu.

But Zhou Bai looked at the dim and uncertain starlight in the sky, and felt the aura of catastrophe surging in the air, he knew that time was not waiting for him.

Thousands of shooting stars mean that thousands of real immortals died in battle outside the domain, and the imprints of stars imprinted on the Tianyuan world disappeared into nothingness. The casualties of this battle were no less than the first surprise attack of Qingxu.

And the blood rain for seven days and seven nights, was it the loss of two and a half saints, or a certain emperor?
According to ancient history records, when a saint dies, the heaven and the earth will mourn together, and the blood rain will fall for three days and three nights.

Zhou Bai couldn't imagine what kind of person he would be for seven days and seven nights. An extremely terrifying thought came to his mind, but he quickly shook his head to dismiss it.

Each of the five heavenly emperors is a peerless powerhouse with the hope of a Taoist ancestor, ranking above the saints, and they are creatures on which the will of heaven depends.

If a Heavenly Emperor really fell, there shouldn't be only a rain of blood, but no sadness.

Zhou Bai was very familiar with the seven days and seven nights of blood rain. The last time Qingxu Half Saint fell, the blood rain continued for a day and a night, but there was no sadness.

Perhaps, this time, it was also Qing Xu or some otherworldly power who fell in the Tianyuan realm?
The Heavenly Court could not be contacted, the communications of the Tianbei and Tiandish were blocked, and the links to the offerings of luck from all countries in the world were interrupted, so something must have happened in 33 days.

This year, the annexation wars in various places have been fierce. Now there is no need to use luck, the strong will become stronger, and the weak will always be weak.

Some "small landlords" who ruled several counties in one county, naturally could not survive alone, and heard news of the country's demise almost every day.

This phenomenon is even more obvious in the northern border. For example, the sixth prince of Lingzhou has eliminated all opposition forces on the surface, and it will only take a period of integration to recast the state tripod.

Another example is Liaodong and Dingzhou, only the last two princes are left, and all other small countries have been annexed.

In Liangzhou, Zhao Qi tried to regain the lost ground after Jin Guo was defeated by Xia Guo, but he still couldn't defeat Jin Qi in several field battles, so he had no choice but to retreat to Xiyuan County.

Then attach the three iron mines at the junction of Dingliang and countless treasures as extravagant dowry, and marry Zhao Ci to Zhou Bai.

The sincerity of the apology was enough, Zhou Bai didn't care too much, and the marriage was successfully completed.

Xia Liang became a country of in-laws, and both parties benefited. At least on the surface, the relationship is very stable.

In a short period of time, the Kingdom of Jin did not attack the Kingdom of Liang in the south, nor dared to step into the Cangbei Grassland easily.

Zhao Qi was able to free his hand to continue the great cause of the unification of Liangzhou. It was located in Xiaguo across the state border, and he could see the flames of war burning there from time to time.

In the chaotic Daizhou, the expansion of Lin Hu and Lou Fan Liang suddenly stagnated, only because of Lu Ding's intervention.

At the beginning, it was just a little bit of testing at the border. Later, it was open and honest to buy the local local tyrants in Yichuan County, and then occupied the territory under various banners.

On September [-]th of the third year of Tongzhi, not long after the bloody meteor rain, Lu Ding personally led troops to reinforce the front line, and annexed Yichuan County next to Yongquan County in one fell swoop, announcing that Dingxi Kingdom had officially established itself in Daizhou.

The menacing momentum attracted the attention of many heroes in Daizhou, and saw another bloody battle.

Even if the Heavenly Court loses contact and does not promote the development of the general situation for the time being, the catastrophe is pervasive, and the masters of Qianlong, who are under the care of the human will, will not let go of the calm period before the storm.

The strategy of building high walls and accumulating food widely is the right way, but when the time comes, you must not miss it.

Even if it takes the lead to occupy a state, it will become the target of the northern countries, and the general attack on Dingxi must begin.

If you want to be called public, you have to show great strength and be recognized by the princes.

Keeping a low profile, in the turbulent times of the dynasty in the ordinary world, it may be to recharge your energy and wait for the false dragon to become the pioneer of the king.

But in the chaotic world of Tianyuan Continent, where if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't grasp the right time, you may fall behind, and you can only become a pseudo-dragon.

After the defeat of Huyan and Cangbei, there was no movement for a whole year, and all the energy was put on the country. There were many battles, but they all killed their own people.

On September [-]th of the third year of Tongzhi, Zhou Bai held a military parade in the capital, and there were many main forces, because after the military parade, they would march immediately.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, with the autumn wind blowing, Xia Hou and Zhou Bai took Yu Yueyun and all the civil and military officials to the tower of the outer city.

Everyone was wearing the corresponding level of crown clothes, and they behaved solemnly. After scanning the outside of the city, they showed a look of shock.

The fighting spirit gathers into swords and guns, and the banners block out the sun. Today, the number of a battalion head can be fully displayed in the eyes of the people.

The hardened road section with a width of more than ten feet and a length of more than ten miles is the parade ground.

Except that the city tower was occupied by Xia Guojun and his ministers, the entire outer city allowed the common people to come up. The magnificent military parade scene greatly improved their self-confidence.

In the distance, the sound of horns announced the beginning of the military parade, and the sound of powerful military drums inspired people.

Thousands of troops and horses are arranged in square formations, full of murderous aura and military aura.

"Defend the home and defend the country, invincible in all battles, invincible in all attacks...Tiger!"

"I am Da Xia, mighty!"

Under the resounding slogans, the guards' phalanx, the forbidden army's phalanx, the garrison's phalanx, and the militia's phalanx passed through in turn. Finally, cavalrymen dressed in iron armor and holding long iron guns stepped on the ground and stepped on their horses.

Powerful weapons such as counterweight catapults, dragon-shooting crossbows, and bed crossbows, as well as heavy equipment such as battering rams are also placed in the back of the formation step by step, which is daunting.

dong dong dong~
Every Xia soldier would beat the iron armor on his chest, salute Zhou Bai and Yu Yueyun, and salute the civil and military officials and citizens who watched the ceremony.

"Oh, Daxia! Daxia! Daxia!"

The enthusiastic citizens began to shout in unison, their self-confidence swelled unprecedentedly, and they were proud of being a Xia people.

"My Great Xia has such a people and such a great army, why don't you worry about unifying Dingzhou, and why don't you worry about making great achievements!" Chen Zhongbang, who has always been in charge of internal affairs, said with emotion after watching the military parade.

Zhou Bai walked towards the militia phalanx that was stepping forward, and earnestly returned his salute, then smiled and nodded slightly: "These two years of recuperation have not been in vain..."

Lou Jinpeng reported back in due course: "Hui Junhou, there are currently more than 20 soldiers in the army, including [-] bodyguards, [-] forbidden troops, [-] garrison troops, and [-] horse troops."

"For this Dingxi campaign, a total of 26 imperial troops, [-] garrison troops, [-] cavalry troops, and [-] militiamen were mobilized, for a total of [-] troops."

It is definitely not the national army that appeared in the military parade. What Lou Jinpeng said was not only to report to Zhou Bai, but also to inform the cabinet and senior officials of various ministries.

Daxia's family background is already very strong, don't think about conservative and stable strategies anymore, we have the strength and ability to control more territory and population.

The military generals naturally supported this mobilization of troops, but there were still considerable disputes within the court and among the people.

Many ministers, gentry and ordinary people think that since the effect of recuperation is good, why not take it slow and become stronger, and just flatten the west in one fell swoop.

Now a majestic military parade has also dispelled the concerns of the opposition and neutrals, and they will do their best to cooperate in the future.

Although the country is big, belligerent must perish.

Although this sentence makes sense, Zhou Bai didn't want his subjects to remember it. To be a bit extreme, he even wanted the soldiers, officials, and common people to be happy when they heard the battle.

The Great Xia he established will not have too many battles to be fought in the future.

"Husband, everyone, my summer military parade is not limited to the city." Seeing that everyone thought the military parade was about to end, Yu Yueyun pursed her lips and pointed to the distant sky.

I saw a number of Taoist officials whizzing over, some riding clouds and wind, some wielding swords, some envoys of various magic weapons, and at the end a large flying boat carrying dozens of first-level Taoist officials.

Zhou Bai's eyes lit up immediately, he didn't expect Daolu Division to actually buy back a troop transport flying boat from Zhongyu Dazong, which has considerable strategic value.

And with the capabilities of today's Institute of Technology, there are only samples, and it is only a matter of time before imitating the subsequent flying boats.

In the eyes of the common people, Taoist officials are like gods and gods in the sky, displaying magnificent Taoism one by one, creating all kinds of auspicious visions.

Chen Zhongbang and other civil servants were a little stunned, but now they have also entered the Tao.

As the country grows stronger and the country's fortunes flourish, the suppression of them by the Great Xia Longqi and the French Open becomes less and less.

The national luck of the corresponding level not only has the effect of nourishing one's life and boosting one's spirit, but the speed of Taoism practiced by officials within the system has already greatly surpassed that of casual cultivators and sectarian monks outside the system.

If someone told you before that the high-ranking Taoist officials should obey the imperial court's command and participate in the military parade, even when Daxu was the most powerful, he would only treat you as a lunatic.

But in Daxia, the facts were before his eyes.

It is even said that these Taoist officials are not ashamed at all to play tricks to please the people, they only feel joy.

The effect of the military parade is good, but the Daolu Division will record the merits.

Nowadays, most of the Daoist officials in Daxia are appointed by some elders. Later, if the monks in Dingzhou County want to obtain the establishment, they must first go to Tianya Pavilion or even the major sects to serve.

It turned out that, unknowingly, Great Xia was no longer an ordinary country in previous history.

……

Then Zhou Bai personally went to the Ningjiang Naval Base for a military parade. This time he brought the guards and the five thousand subduing demons that belonged directly to him to Cangbei.

For such a big event as the unification of Dingzhou, Hu Yanhe would try to interfere no matter what.

Three days later, the news that Daxia raised an army of "30" and attacked in multiple ways also spread in Dingxi.

At this time, Lu Ding, the backbone, is even still stabilizing the situation in Yichuan County, Daizhou. Those who should use troops should be interviewed by the powerful.

For a small uncle country, it is not so easy to obtain the recognition of Daizhou natives easily.

Being able to gain a foothold in a short period of time was due to the deterrence of the nearly [-] troops in Dingxi, as well as the continuous supply of supplies from Dingzhou, which won the hearts of the people.

On September [-]th, tens of thousands of troops landed on the coast of the three counties of Pinghe, Xingyun, and Yongquan under the repeated transportation of the navy.

On September [-]th, Zhou Yuan, supported by the soldiers of the Imperial Army, broke through Pinghe County City in one fell swoop.

On September [-]th, Zhou Bai led his army to break through the defense belt along the river in Xingyun County, and with the Xia army on the western front, they attacked the capital of the Western Kingdom on both sides.
