Chapter 221 Eight Years of Xiaokang
Eight years of Xiaokang!

As soon as the new year started, the Song Empire was in raging war!
In addition to the army led by Tong Guan sent out years ago by the Song Empire, there are also two armies sent out to quell the rebellion!

It seems that the Song Empire is determined to put down the rebellion in the shortest possible time.Otherwise, the Song Empire would never choose three armies and open three battlefields in a row!

The three armies of the Song Empire; Tong Guan's army was responsible for annihilating Song Jiang and Chao Gai; the other two armies conquered Fangla all the way; Wang Qing and Tian Hu all the way.

For the Song Empire, the five major bandits were the biggest worry!

This is not only because the five major bandits are the most powerful, but also because the five major bandits are the initiators of the King's Proclamation and have the greatest influence in the Rebel Alliance!
Once the five major bandits were successfully wiped out by the Song Dynasty court!Then, the remaining 32 rebels against the king will inevitably lose their momentum and will not pose much of a threat at all. Will the Empire of the Song Dynasty be destroyed by a backhand?
From the perspective of the overall strategic planning of the Song Empire, there was not much of a problem.

After all, the Song Empire was orthodox, and its strength was by no means comparable to that of the rebels!More importantly, the Song Dynasty court needed time and the rebels needed to be wiped out in the shortest possible time in order to restore the court's momentum!Therefore, it is reasonable to attack the five major bandits first.The principle of shooting a man first, shooting a horse, and catching a thief first, the king, has been known since ancient times.

However, the rebel alliance was supported by the Ming Empire, and its situation may not be as the Song Empire thought.

The chaos of the Song Empire did not have the slightest impact on the Ming Empire.

Moreover, Emperor Xiaokang's seclusion did not delay the development of the Ming Empire!
The Ming Empire has been in power for decades under Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Xiaokang. The empire's major policies have long been set, and the prince's supervision only needs to implement them step by step. The cabinet does not need to spend too much energy!

What's more, with Li Shanchang, the founding father of the country, sitting in the cabinet, everything goes smoothly!

Daye Pavilion is actually progressing step by step, and there is no need to rush the country!
Therefore, Zhu Qi still hides in the palace and spends his days leisurely!
The cultivation of the Seven Souls is not easy. Zhu Qi has been promoted to a land immortal for a year.However, even with Zhu Qi's background and cultivation speed, he has not even reached initial perfection, which shows how difficult it is to practice in the land of immortals!
Of course, the speed of practice here is slow, only compared to Zhu Qi's before.

If Zhu Qi's cultivation speed were compared with other land gods in China mainland, countless people would be stunned.

Take Wudang founder Zhang Sanfeng as an example; Zhang Sanfeng has been promoted to a land immortal for decades.It has been more than ten years since Zhang Sanfeng came to Beijing and taught Zhu Qi Tai Chi.

When Zhang Sanfeng was promoted to land immortal, Zhu Qi was probably not even born yet; when Zhang Sanfeng gave Zhu Qi the opportunity, Zhu Qi was still a sickly young man; however, in just a dozen years, Zhu Qi transformed from a sickly young man into a Land fairy!

Such a short period of time is just a retreat for warriors from the Land of Gods and Fairyland!Even for a genius like Zhang Sanfeng, his cultivation has made almost no progress in more than ten years.

To put it another way, when Zhang Sanfeng was a land god, Zhu Qi had not yet started practicing; when Zhu Qi was promoted to a land god, Zhang Sanfeng was still the same land god!I'm afraid that when Zhu Qi takes a step further, Zhang Sanfeng will still be the land god he was back then!
Zhu Qi's cultivation speed can no longer be called a genius, but can be called a monster!
According to the deduction in "Martial Arts Record", in another year, around the beginning of the ninth year of Xiaokang, Zhu Qi's first soul can be initially condensed and completed, and the practice of the second soul can begin!
And it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Sanfeng to perfect Yipo at the beginning of Xiaokang's ninth year!
In other words, given Zhu Qi another year, Zhu Qi can be called a strong man even in the land of fairyland!

There is no spiritual cultivation method in the mainland of China. For spiritual growth, warriors either rely on sudden enlightenment or polishing it over a long period of time!
In terms of realm, the perfect Zhu Qi is not necessarily the strongest land immortal, but he is certainly not the weakest.

Of course, in terms of combat power, that's another story!Zhu Qi's terrifying fighting power is estimated to be unmatched by any land immortal!

Although the breakthrough in cultivation did not make Zhu Qi indifferent to everything.But there are indeed not many things on the Chinese mainland that can attract Zhu Qi!Zhu Qi's biggest pursuit now is to appreciate the scenery of becoming an immortal queen!Therefore, even though he was in great power, the world was in turmoil, and his cultivation was the best in the world, Zhu Qi did not slack off at all in his cultivation.

Of course, in addition to practicing, Zhu Qi also has another task: to deduce the practice method of the seven souls!
Practicing the Seven Souls requires 28 star charts. Now, Zhu Qi has deduced eighteen star charts.The remaining ten star maps are Zhu Qi’s next key goals!

After all, only if the cultivation method is perfect, can Zhu Qi have the hope and possibility of making progress step by step!

Time is like a grain of sand held tightly in your hand. The tighter you hold it, the faster it disappears.Amid everyone's hopes and disappointments, eight years of Xiaokang passed by in a blink of an eye!
Xiaokang's eighth year, this year, everything seems to have remained the same, but everything seems to have changed again.

For the Ming Empire, the civil and military officials in the court had become accustomed to the prince supervising the country.

Although Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Xiaokang were in seclusion, under the supervision of the prince, the Ming Empire had good governance, good weather, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment!
Although Zhu Qi was ordered to assist the prince in supervising the country, Zhu Qi's presence in the court was extremely low. He had never even been to the cabinet!Zhu Qi's low profile made all civil and military officials feel relieved!Since ancient times, there are not many vassal kings who have been in power without causing chaos!The Ming Empire is now prosperous, and no one wants to see the court in chaos, even if this person is 'Wen Zong'.

The national power of the Ming Empire was booming, and the civil and military officials in the Song Empire finally breathed a sigh of relief!
This year, the three-pronged army of the Song Dynasty imperial court conquered the rebels and made great gains.

First, one of the five great bandits, King Song Jiang of Zhou, was captured by the imperial court.

Although the imperial army failed to capture Song Jiang and completely kill him, its foundation has been lost and it is difficult to achieve success!

After Song Jiang was defeated in Dazhai, he led the remaining troops to flee to Liangshan with the support of Chao Gai, and joined forces with Chao Gai!
Although Chao Gai and Song Jiang cherish heroes, their status is their righteousness. Chao Gai would never give Song Jiang a chance to occupy the magpie's nest!So, under the overt and covert prompts of Liangshan's commanders, Song Jiang went to the king's house!
The five major bandits finally defeated the first bandit; the 32nd rebel king was also wiped out by the imperial court in the same year; the eighth bandit;

This autumn, various rebels captured by the imperial court were escorted to the imperial capital for public execution. On that day, blood dyed most of the streets in the imperial capital red!
The Song Empire's thunderous methods really shocked the entire empire!

Since the Song Empire, officials and common people have been treated favorably!Even if there are fierce party disputes among officials in the court, there is rarely bloodshed;

In the past, even if there were bandits and bandits who raised the flag of rebellion, the court would only punish the culprits. Such large-scale executions were rare!

However, there are two sides to the matter!
Although the killings by the imperial court shocked many careerists, the resistance of those anti-kings who had raised the flag of rebellion became increasingly fierce!
