Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

The battle at Qianfo Temple was truly perilous.

The danger did not come from a sudden assassin, but from the seemingly pitiful and delicate Jingjue girl—Anuja.

Anuka was actually the mastermind behind the organization's assassination attempt—the Tanuki.

Fortunately, Lin Feng was a master of martial arts and, together with the government troops, killed most of the assassins, leaving only Li Nu and a few others to escape.

Twelve, who plotted the assassination with Tanuki, also died in battle at Thousand Buddha Temple.

The turmoil at Qianfo Temple has finally subsided.

The beginning of the year 31 of the Tianqi reign.

Lin Feng used the truth about the "Sending Off Children Hall" at Qianfo Temple to force the temple to assist the government in investigating the hidden land and slavery in many temples in Ruzhou.

The influence of Buddhism in Ruzhou was weakened, and Lin Feng also incorporated the rescued slaves into the army.

In June of the same year, when Lin Feng was preparing his troops and forming a cavalry,

The allied forces of twelve kingdoms in the Western Regions invaded Ruzhou, with a total strength of up to 50,000.

The officials and people of Ruzhou were terrified!

In a critical moment, Lin Feng persuaded Commander Qiao Lun to engage in battle, directly confronting the allied forces of the twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions.

Qiao Lun and Lin Feng joined forces, with Qiao Lun commanding 12,000 infantrymen.

Lin Feng led five thousand Xuanjia cavalry to participate in the battle.

From the time Lin Feng assembled his cavalry to the actual battle, only six months had passed.

However, Lin Feng obtained the "Xuanjia Pojun" entry from Feng Qing and, at an incredible speed, built an elite cavalry.

Lin Feng and Qiao Lun defeated a 50,000-strong allied army from the Western Regions in a single battle at Wild Wolf Plains in western Ruzhou!

The generals of the two great Western Region kingdoms, Jingjue and Loulan, were killed by Lin Feng.

The Western Regions allied forces suffered more than 20,000 casualties in one battle, and were terrified by the loss of soldiers and generals.

The twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions dared not discuss the matter of "pacification silver" again, and instead took the initiative to befriend Ruzhou.

In October of the same year, Raymond Lam and Joe Chun went to Beijing to report on their military achievements.

Raymond Lam was granted the title of viscount and was riding high on his success.

In the capital, Lin Feng had long been a household name as a poet, and his storytelling performance of "The Peony Pavilion" won the favor of Princess Huaiqing and Princess Lin'an, thus beginning their relationship.

Just then, assassins from the Red Leaf Assassins organization gathered in the capital, intending to assassinate the current emperor.

Lin Feng, along with top military experts from the capital, escorted the emperor to Qionglin Garden.

He was promoted by the emperor to the rank of Fifth-Rank Cavalry Captain.

In November, Qiao Lun stayed in the capital and joined the Imperial Guard.

Lin Feng was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of Ruzhou, in charge of all military affairs in Ruzhou.

Princess Li Xiwei of Lin'an, who is infatuated with Raymond Lam, quietly followed him away.

At the end of the year, the infamous "Madness Rebellion" of the thirty-first year of the Tianqi reign broke out in Ruzhou.

Apart from the Cao family, the other four of the five families in Ruzhou joined forces with the notorious bandit Duan Lang and the twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions, intending to overthrow Ruzhou.

They incorporated centipede vines into the secret sacrificial medicine of the Jingjue Kingdom to create the "Puppet Pill".

Soldiers who take the Puppet Pill feel no pain, possess immense strength, and know only how to kill, kill, kill!

The "madness and chaos" swept across the entire Ruzhou region, with more than 60,000 Ruzhou soldiers and civilians directly involved in the battle.

Thanks to the heroic efforts of Lin Feng, the commander of Ruzhou, the conspiracy was foiled.

The notorious bandit Duan Lang was killed, and all five families in Ruzhou except the Cao family were wiped out by Lin Feng.

As for the allied forces of the twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions, they suffered another heavy blow and never recovered.

The offensive and defensive positions of Ruzhou and the Western Regions were reversed, with the Western Regions now on the defensive.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Feng extorted "pacification silver" from the Western Regions, demanding that the twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions pay 360,000 taels of silver annually.

Lin Feng became famous in Ruzhou and his feelings for Princess Lin'an deepened day by day.

However, in the thirty-second year of the Tianqi reign, the northern barbarians tore up the peace treaty.

The troops marched out of Jiming City and headed straight for Zhenyuan City!

The fierce battle between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians has begun again!

In the thirty-third year of the Tianqi reign, Emperor Li Dan of the Great Qian Dynasty passed away.

A brutal power struggle for the throne erupted in the capital.

King Li Yan of Qin carried out a bloody purge of the royal family, purging all the ministers from the Crown Prince's faction.

After becoming the new emperor, Li Yan, the Prince of Qin, disregarded the opposition of his ministers and personally led an expedition.

In the second year of Huanglong, the new emperor Li Yan led the elite troops of the Daqian Dynasty in a fierce battle against the Northern Barbarians at Niujiaoyuan.

This place, which once brought Li Yan countless honors and memories, has once again become a turning point in Li Yan's fate.

Li Yan was defeated at Niujiaoyuan.

The Northern Barbarian National Preceptor, Luo Yuyao, used a secret technique to rouse three patients in the city who had been poisoned by a strange toxin.

This led to the spread of a strange epidemic in Zhenyuan City.

Zhenyuan City fell shortly thereafter.

The Northern Barbarians conquered Zhenyuan City and marched straight for the capital, thus beginning the fragmentation of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Lin Feng led his troops in battle at Niujiaoyuan.

Despite their impressive performance, they were unable to change the course of the battle and could only retreat south with the main army.

The land is shattered, the wind carries away the drifting catkins; the capital is in grave danger.

Emperor Li Yan was determined to defend the capital to the death and summoned the people of the land to come to his aid.

However, Li Yan did not expect that the Northern Barbarians were extremely powerful and ruthless.

They resorted to their old tricks, using catapults to throw the bodies of their fallen soldiers into the city.

June of the third year of Huanglong.

Left with no other choice, Emperor Li Yan decided to abandon the plan to move the capital south.

Zhang Liao chose to stay in the capital to buy time for the emperor and protect the people with his life.

Zhang Liao took the last pill given to him by the medical sage Zhang Jing to unleash his potential.

He carried a tiger-headed, gleaming silver spear and died in battle in the capital city.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

Emperor Li Yan was deeply grieved and accidentally "fell into the water" on the way, losing his life.

Li Yan, who was a master of martial arts and the bravest warrior in the army, lost his life in such a bizarre and ridiculous way.

The civil and military officials, loyal to Li Yan, refused to give up, but were suppressed and slaughtered by Prince Li Zhen of Jin.

With the change of imperial power, Li Zhen became the new emperor and changed the reign title to Jianyan.

Lin Feng narrowly escaped the purge and returned to Ruzhou, where he used it as a base to protect himself and survive in the chaotic world.

In the second year of the Jianyan era, the northern barbarians were sent on a southern expedition.

After successively capturing Yunzhou, Huangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Yingzhou, the Daqian army suffered repeated defeats, and the new capital was in grave danger.

Emperor Li Zhen ordered Lin Feng of Ruzhou and Li Chengliang of Liaodong to send troops to attack the rear of the Northern Barbarians.

Troops rose up in Liaodong and Ruzhou to participate in the war.

They fought fierce battles against the Northern Barbarians in Dingyuan and Yunlu respectively, and achieved considerable results in both battles.

However, a major blunder occurred on the imperial court's Yangtze River defense line, with the commanding general surrendering to the northern barbarians.

The northern barbarians crossed the Yangtze River and headed straight for Nanjing.

In the third year of the Jianyan era, Nanjing fell to the Japanese.

Emperor Li Zhen's southward migration for refuge led to the massacre of the people of Nanjing by the northern barbarians, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

At this point, the prestige of the imperial court plummeted to its lowest point, and military leaders emerged in various parts of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Among them, the most eye-catching are Lin Feng from Ruzhou and Li Chengliang from Liaodong.

In the fifth year of the Jianyan era, Emperor Li Zhen died of illness in Jianye City amidst a mixture of worry and fear.

Prince Li Ji of Zhou was put on the throne, a period known in history as "Nanqian".

The Southern Qian has completely retreated to the southeast, with no possibility of ever recovering the former territory of the Great Qian.

However, during the same period, Raymond Lam was rising to prominence at an incredible speed.

The conquest of the Western Regions eliminated any remaining concerns, turning the twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions into the "money bag" and "granary" of the Ruzhou army.

By capturing Yunzhou and Huangzhou, the three prefectures are connected, which can both protect the main base of Ruzhou and allow for proactive attacks from Huangzhou and Yunzhou.

In the third year of the Southern Qiancheng era, the Northern Barbarian Emperor died on his way to conquer Jianye City.

A serious internal strife has broken out in the Northern Barbarians, with several princes vying for the throne and engaging in endless civil war.

Lin Feng seized the two-year gap and conquered the three southwestern prefectures of Daqian, which had been occupied by the Northern Barbarians.

At this point, Lin Feng controlled six states.

Of the sixteen prefectures of the Great Qian Dynasty, he controlled more than a third, and his influence grew daily.

In the fifth year of Chengping, Lin Feng joined forces with Li Ping'an, who had already inherited Liaodong, and Lü Zheng, a general of Nanqian.

They conquered Jiangzhou and Yingzhou, beheaded the Northern Barbarian Prince, and their power shook the world.

Over the next three years, Lin Feng fought battles in the south and north, successively recovering Youzhou, Zhongzhou, and the ancient capital of Jinling.

The general trend of the world seems to have become clear at this moment.

In the sixth year of Chengping, Lin Feng led troops to conquer Shuozhou and Fengzhou, and within half a year, he recovered both prefectures.

They reclaimed these two former Han Chinese territories, which had been occupied by the northern barbarians for more than ten years.

In the eighth year of Chengping, Emperor Li Ji of the Southern Qian Dynasty chose to surrender his territory and abdicate the throne to Lin Feng.

The condition is that the future throne must belong to Lin Xie, the eldest son of Raymond Lam and Princess Li Xiwei of Lin'an.

Lin Feng readily agreed, and in the same year, he changed the country's name to Ming, inherited the legal system of the Great Qian Dynasty, and established the Great Ming Dynasty.

Over the next twenty years, Lin Feng personally led five Northern Expeditions, successively conquering the capitals of the Liao and Northern Barbarian tribes.

Bringing the Liao and Northern Barbarian tribes into the territory of the Ming Dynasty was an unprecedented achievement since the Zhou Dynasty.

A great ruler was born!

(The End!)
