The mysterious world: Start working hard from the beggar camp!

Chapter 510: Chaos in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Foundation of the Southern Family Alliance
"After capturing Luzon Island, our Restoration Army will have a forward naval base with an excellent geographical location."

"This is a major blow to crushing the Western world's conspiracy to invade the Eastern land."

"I'm sure the other side will not accept defeat and will inevitably organize a large fleet to retaliate."

"But will the Renaissance Army be afraid? Obviously not."

"Come if you want, it depends on how much loss the other party can bear!"

Li Dingguo was well aware that the loss of Luzon Island, the main stronghold of the Kingdom of Spain around the Ming Dynasty, would inevitably cause an uproar in the Western world.

However, due to the short time taken by the Renaissance Army's surprise attack from start to finish, and the fact that they had two level six spirit birds in the process of capturing Luzon Island, blocking the enemy's message transmission at high altitude, there was no need to worry that the news would be known to the Western world soon.

This is very beneficial for the Restoration Army to sweep across the entire Luzon Island and the Mindan Islands in the south.

"The operations on Luzon Island have ended. Our current round of overseas expansion will come to a temporary halt after we capture the Medan Islands."

The day after the war, Li Dingguo summoned the main generals of the two fleets and explained his arrangements for the next action. "According to the original plan, our overseas operation is nearing its end."

"The remaining tasks are to completely clean up the remaining enemies and Luzon Island, and to fight to the south to capture the Medan Islands. The enemy's combat power is limited, so I'll leave it to you to complete it on your own."

Li Dingguo continued, "I will continue to stay here and take charge personally. There is no need."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will take Da Jin away from Luzon Island. The military and political affairs here will be handed over to you and Huang Lan until a large number of military and political personnel sent by the military arrive to complete the handover."

"After your First and Second Fleets complete the full occupation of Luzon Island and the Medan Islands, you can then go and capture Qiongzhou in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and further cut off the connection between the Southern Ming Dynasty and those Jiangnan families and overseas forces!"

"As for the enemy fleets traveling to and from the southeast coast, whenever we find one, we will concentrate our forces to destroy it, making the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty a completely restricted area for the enemy, and dispel their idea of ​​plotting against the eastern land."

"Let them face reality. This is not the Western Continent. It's not a place where they can mess around!"

He received a message from Wan'er via spirit bird yesterday, in which he learned that the two fleets she led had completed the mission of capturing Tainan Island and the Ryukyu Islands and were currently resting after the war.

Given the importance of the next action, there is no room for error.

Li Dingguo decided to first go to Fort Zeelandia in the south of Tainan Island to meet up with Wan'er, and then dispatch the Fourth Fleet to the north to Tamra Island to meet up with the fleet led by Huang Zhanglong.

The latest intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department said that after Huang Zhanglong easily captured Jeju Island, the last stronghold of the Goguryeo clan, he spent two months to reorganize it and completed the assigned mission.

Currently they are accelerating the transportation of large quantities of military supplies from the Restoration Army's logistics department to be stored on Jeju Island to ensure the supply of materials for a new round of operations.

Because there were too many targets for the subsequent attacks on the Goguryeo Peninsula and the coastal areas of Japan, the Third Fleet was seriously short of troops and treasure ships, which greatly affected the speed of mission completion.

Huang Zhanglong then requested the military to send an additional main fleet to the north to provide support in order to complete the maritime blockade of the Goguryeo Peninsula and Japan as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

This was not because the naval forces of the Goguryeo Peninsula and Japan were so powerful, but because there were too many target areas along the coast, and the more than 300 large treasure ships of the Third Fleet of the Fusion Navy were unable to handle them all.

Blockading the Goguryeo Peninsula and the coast of Japan and destroying the enemy's navy and shipbuilding capabilities are of great significance in combating the enemy's development and growth. The Restoration Navy does not want to delay this round of mission plans for too long.

In this case, sending an additional main fleet to the north for support became a top priority.

It just so happened that the Fourth and Fifth Fleets led by Wan'er had roughly completed the plan to capture the Ryukyu Islands and Taiyuan Island, so it was just right to dispatch a fleet to the north.

Early the next morning, Li Dingguo said goodbye to He Lijing, Huang Lan and others who came to see him off, jumped onto the back of Da Jin who had been waiting for a long time, and activated the protective magic circle shield of the magic chair.

"Chirp!"

Da Jin raised his head and let out a roar. His pair of huge golden wings fluttered slightly and turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky thousands of feet high.

It circled slightly for a half circle, identified the direction, and flew towards the north. After a while, it activated its innate spatial magical power and disappeared into the air.

……

In Changzhou City, on the west gate tower, Xu Nianzu looked at the enemy camp outside the city with a gloomy face.

"Uncle, I didn't expect Chongzhen to change so much!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this was the same tyrant who allowed us to fool and manipulate him!"

"What kind of incredible fortune did Chongzhen have to have, to be able to break through to the peak of level six in just one year!"

"I even suspect that if it weren't for the powerful constraints on practitioners imposed by the rules of heaven and earth in this great world, he might have been able to become an immortal in one fell swoop!"

Xie Youming, the eldest son of the Jiangnan Xie family, said to the ancestor of the Xu family in front of him, "That's not all! He actually personally led a million soldiers of the Yongwei Army to the east, brazenly marching straight in. Our army's defenses along the way were like nothing, and he directly killed his way from Zhenjiang Prefecture to Changzhou Prefecture!"

"Does he want to completely break off relations with our Jiangnan family and unify Jiangnan?"

"What a courageous dog! Who gave him the courage?"

A month ago, the situation in the land of Jianjiangnan suddenly changed.

The Yongwei Army responsible for guarding Nanjing and Zhenjiang Prefecture suddenly began to move south in large numbers. Under the leadership of Emperor Chongzhen and Zhou Yuji, they launched a sudden and massive attack on the solid defense line formed by the alliance of aristocratic families!
What surprised these aristocratic families and wealthy merchants was that Chongzhen and Zhou Yuji, who were divided into two groups, were both extremely brave and conquered cities along the way with great momentum, as if they were taking candy from a sack.

In just one month, the morale of the million brave guards was soaring, and the powerful combat effectiveness they displayed was far beyond everyone's imagination. They easily captured Xiaohezhai, Benniu Town, Yutang and other important towns in the north of Changzhou, and went straight to the city of Changzhou!
Under the sudden and fierce offensive launched by the imperial army, the defense line formed by the Southern Aristocratic Alliance seemed extremely solid, but under the fierce offensive of the imperial army, it was broken one after another like paper.

This frightened all the major families, and they became anxious and called their friends to rush to the front line, trying to stop the violent advance of the million-strong army of the Yongwei Camp.

The increasingly serious situation frightened almost all the Jiangnan noble families and wealthy merchants. Even the two major southern noble families, the Xie family and the Xu family, could not sit still. They had already torn their faces with the Ming court. If they did not want to die and their clans to be destroyed, they had to take action immediately to organize and block the imperial army from advancing.

Everyone realized the seriousness of the current situation. Yesterday, Xu Nianzu, the head of the Xu family, and Xie Youming, the eldest son of the Xie family, led their family's elite troops in a hurry and arrived at the front line in Changzhou City in time.

There was no way. If Emperor Chongzhen and the million brave soldiers led by Zhou Yuji were allowed to successfully capture Changzhou Prefecture, both Suzhou, the old nest of the Xie family in Jiangnan, and Huzhou, the base of the Xu family, would face a crisis of death and annihilation.

This terrible situation is absolutely unacceptable to the Xie family of Suzhou and the Xu family of Huzhou.

"Good nephew."

Xu Nianzu said to Xie Youming, "From what we have learned, it is clear that although the million brave soldiers led by Zhou Yuji and his wife have good combat effectiveness, they are not a big threat to our powerful families."

"The strength of these imperial troops outside the city is fundamentally due to Emperor Chongzhen himself and Zhou Yuji and his wife."

"Let's not talk about Chongzhen, who is at the peak of level six. Just Zhou Yuji and his wife, two early level six masters, have more experience in leading troops in battle than our family alliance."

"We, the alliance of aristocratic families, have not been on the battlefield for a long time. This is an inevitable disadvantage, and it is difficult to make up for it in a short period of time."

"This requires a series of actual combat training to narrow the gap with the enemy as quickly as possible."

"Although we are now stationed in Changzhou City with more than two million warriors, it is still very difficult to deal with the millions of brave guards."

"The most incredible one is Chongzhen, whom you just mentioned. His transformation is earth-shaking and thorough. In just one year, he has become an incomprehensibly powerful master."

"Ah! The Ming Dynasty, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is indeed mysterious. We have underestimated the Ming Dynasty before."

"As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, that's all."

Xu Nianzu could not have imagined that with the rapid recovery of the spiritual energy of the world today, the remaining luck of the Ming Dynasty would rebound violently. The Ming Dynasty, which originally seemed to be crumbling, would rise again after being destroyed, and so many level six generals would emerge.

Not only Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, but even Zhou Yuji and his wife have recently broken through to become early stage sixth level powerhouses.

If it were just that, it would be fine. However, the most feared person was Emperor Chongzhen himself. Not only was he a newly-minted level six peak warrior, but he also unexpectedly obtained an innate top-level artifact hall. He became so bold that he even dared to lead the way in attacking cities.

In the previously occupied northwestern area of ​​Changzhou Prefecture, more than half of the towns fell because Emperor Chongzhen personally served as the vanguard and was able to easily lead a million-strong army of the Yongwei Camp to break into the city!

Although Xu Nianzu had successfully refined the Ming Dynasty's national treasure, the Haotian Tower, and recognized it as his master through the Xu family's secret planning for thousands of years, he had also broken through to the early sixth level in one fell swoop.

To be honest, although he has a strong family background, he does not feel very confident when facing Emperor Chongzhen.

"Humph!"

Xie Youming, the eldest son of the Xie family, snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Even if Chongzhen, the dog emperor, undergoes a subversive transformation, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"The heritage of our Jiangnan families is incomparable to that of the Remaining Ming Dynasty in every aspect."

He is so confident, he is not bragging, but he has the confidence backed by his own strength.

The roots of the Jiangnan Xie family, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, have always been a mystery to the world.

But one thing is certain, even the Ming Dynasty royal family is far from being comparable to the Xie family.

Especially the three heroes of the Xie family in contemporary times: Xie Youming, Xie Liming and Xie Xiangming. With the arrival of the great era and the flourishing fortune of the family, they were all born with innate talents like geniuses and demons.

It is quite ironic to say that the names of the three brothers of the Xie family mean a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the Ming Dynasty, but now they have become de facto traitors to the court!
How ridiculous!
But no matter how ridiculous or ironic it is, the fact that the Xie family of Jiangnan is able to sit firmly on the top spot among the aristocratic families in the world shows that their background is truly unfathomable.

Only the core members of the Xie family know that the Jiangnan Xie family not only has three large spiritual places, but also has two innate inherited artifacts, as well as an innate spiritual root and an acquired top-grade spiritual root as the foundation of the family!
Especially in recent years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been recovering rapidly, and the Xie family is naturally one of the forces that has benefited the most.

The brothers Xie Youming and Xie Liming, who are the most outstanding talents of the Xie family, have not only made rapid progress in their cultivation in the past two years, but have also completed the recognition of a family heirloom artifact as their master.

With the help of the magic weapon after it recognized its master, the two brothers broke through to the initial stage of level six one after another a year ago.

The most terrifying thing about the Xie family is the elite family soldiers which have rapidly expanded to 300,000 people in the past two years: the White Guards, and a mysterious group of secret guards.

The main generals of this White Guard are the core members of the family who are at the Qi Refining Realm, and the soldiers are composed of orphans collected over the years and trained after brutal elimination.

Thanks to the Xie family's strong financial resources, they are not only armed to the teeth, but also use various demon beasts and monster tribes to conduct bloody battle training every year.

They are not just for show, but real elite warriors who have experienced many battles.

The Jiangnan Xie family, which has been able to survive for tens of thousands of years, certainly knows that if they want to maintain the prosperity of the family, only strong military force is the most reliable reliance.

Apart from this, everything else is empty.

This operation to reinforce Changzhou City was of vital importance, so Xie Youming, the eldest son of the Xie family, specially brought 100,000 white-clothed guards.

Among them there is a 10,000-strong Demon Dragon Cavalry, a 30,000-strong Black Evil Tiger Cavalry, and a 500-strong Qi Refining Realm Dark Guard Squad.

Given the importance of defending the Changzhou city, failure would definitely put them in a passive and disadvantageous situation. This is why the true background of the Xie family, the number one family in Jiangnan, was exposed to the world for the first time.

Even Xu Nianzu, the ambitious head of the Xu family, couldn't help but gasp after witnessing the powerful strength of the Xie family's White Guards with his own eyes last night.

There is no other reason but that the strength of this elite army of the Xie family is so terrifying that people can't help but be horrified.
