My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

As a result, this stirred up a hornet's nest. Chen Jiongming was a man who would not suffer any loss. Being targeted by two sides, he did not care about Jiang Li's threat. He gave an order and started fighting with Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan.

When Jiang Li heard the news, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. All this was part of his plan. He deliberately spared Yang Ximin's life just to wait for them to fight each other.

Now that the fight has begun, he naturally won't disturb them. He will just watch the show from the side, secretly mobilizing the troops and waiting for the opportunity.

He waited for seven or eight days. When he learned that the three parties were about to decide the winner, he decisively divided his troops into two groups and directly stole the homes of Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan.

Their morale was instantly thrown into disarray, and without logistical supplies, they were immediately defeated by Chen Jiongming.

But before he could gather the remaining enemies, Jiang Li's troops arrived, and this time he was determined to wipe out these three forces in one fell swoop, so he dispatched most of his troops.

He simply pushed aside all obstacles on his way and ran headfirst into Chen Jiongming's face, engaging him in a face-to-face fight.

At this time, Chen Jiongming's army had been fighting with the other two for a long time, and their weapons and ammunition had been severely consumed, not to mention that they had almost no fighting spirit.

It turns out that Jiang Li was not doing nothing in the past six months. In addition to digesting the newly occupied land, he also spread the news everywhere to overthrow the local tyrants and landlords and divide their money, grain and land.

Most of the soldiers these days come from poor families, so after hearing this news, how could they not be eager to join the army?

So when Jiang Li led his men to attack, they did not put up much resistance and surrendered quickly.

Now, there was no warlord in Guangdong who could compete with him.

In the following time, Jiang Li ordered his soldiers to attack everywhere and quickly occupied the entire Guangdong province. Then it took another half a year to wipe out all the landlords, powerful people, bandits and robbers in Guangdong.

During this period, he also had an unexpected gain. His soldiers were chasing a group of bandits and accidentally discovered a wild mountain god when passing through a barren mountain.

Yes, it is a real mountain god, but because this mountain is too desolate and remote, usually few people come to worship it, so over time it lost its source of belief and fell into a deep sleep.

After it was awakened by these soldiers, it took the initiative to expose itself, which allowed Jiang Li to get this news.

So he personally took people to check it out, and found out that this guy was actually a hedgehog spirit. Judging from its body shape and the fluctuations of its magic power, it was obviously an old monster over a hundred years old.

After some bargaining, he finally persuaded the old monster to agree to his plan for the Five Immortals Mountain, and he also donated a little of his own blood for Jiang Li's practice.

What Jiang Li needs to do is still to help it erect monuments and temples, and publicize it to attract people's support.

After Jiang Li reached an agreement, he sent people to build such a temple for him and began to promote it vigorously.

At this point, the Five Immortals Mountain that he had been dreaming of finally took shape. Because of the dedicated practice in the past few years, the vixen Tushan Yaya had already refined the horizontal bone, received a lot of incense, and officially became a mountain god.

A month later, the mountain goddess Bai Xian Bai Er Niang officially came online.

As the Five Immortals returned to their positions, their statues were no longer placed separately. Instead, Jiang Li deliberately gathered them together and placed several in each temple.

As for why Jiang Li took the trouble to do this, it was naturally to win the people's faith. You have to know how superstitious people are these days.

It is not much worse than the country of India in the 21st century, with a stone on the roadside, a big tree in the village, and even some snakes, insects, rats and ants.

They could all be the objects of their worship, and this is not what Jiang Li wants to see.

If we really want to unify the entire Guangdong and even the whole country, then unifying the faith is imperative.

It is better for him to let the five immortals he is familiar with to unify the people's beliefs than for the people to be deceived by those miscellaneous evil gods or charlatans.

Not to mention that he has a close relationship with Huang Silang, and he can smuggle his own ideas into his account with just a few words, which will be of great benefit to his rule and governance.

That's why he vigorously promoted the benefits of believing in the Five Immortals and provided targeted unit training for them. In addition to chicken soup for the soul to do good, there were also many practical skills.

This includes medical skills, Taoism, literature, art, various planting and breeding experiences, and financial knowledge. Of course, it is impossible for them to thoroughly study so many things.

But Jiang Li has people, and after arranging a professional team for them, all kinds of miscellaneous problems can basically be solved.

After this model matured, he replicated it in large numbers and built such Five Immortals Temples all over Guangdong, leaving those charlatans and evil gods who only knew how to demand tributes nowhere to hide.

In this way, he not only found out all the false gods and evil gods in various places, but also subdued hundreds of monsters of various types, dozens of hundred-year-old precious medicines and nine kinds of spiritual plants.

He even learned from a tiger demon that there was a formation set up by practitioners on the cliffs of Danxia Mountain, so he personally led people to investigate.

During the exploration, they unexpectedly discovered a cultivator's cave located on the cliff on the mountainside. In this cave, they not only found some valuable jade slips, but also a spiritual spring.

When he learned about this, he was overjoyed and immediately had people use a water pipe to lead the spiritual spring to a slightly open area below, and transform the cliff wall into a spiritual medicine garden similar to terraced fields.

As for some places that were difficult to renovate because of large gaps, they were directly filled with cement, and then people were ordered to use hanging baskets to lift up a large amount of soil for planting medicinal herbs.

With the watering of the spiritual spring, the collected precious medicines and spiritual plants can grow smoothly.

After finding another valley and raising hundreds of monsters that had been tamed into spirit beasts, he no longer lacked resources for cultivation.

He takes a medium-grade Essence Pill every morning, and has the help of his two wives who have practiced the Yin-Yang Hehuan Jue.

He reached the Earth Master realm at the age of twenty-six. Of course, this was because he focused too much energy on other aspects and was not very diligent in his cultivation.

In the next two years, with the help of Han Yong William, he vigorously developed industry based on the resources of various places. He just needed to wait for the world to change so that he could sweep the world.

At this time, he was 28 years old, a third-level Earth Master, had 280,000 soldiers under his command, and ruled over 32 million people.

...

Back to the Northeast, due to Aisin-Gioro Puwei's meddling, the whole country was in unrest, which made it very difficult for the Dragon Slayer.

Because he had a feud with Jiang Li before, he didn't dare to get close to his wife, for fear that he would suddenly discover him one day.

So he kept running around, hoping to find a relatively stable place and make a name for himself with his Taoist skills.

However, things went against his wishes. He traveled to many provinces, only to find that the world was always in war, so he gave up the idea of ​​​​troubling.
