I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.
Chapter 264: Recovering the Territory and the Development of the Celestial Empire
Although because they occupied the Kazakh Khanate, they needed to allocate some troops to garrison there.
But with only the remaining troops, the Yarkand Khanate did not hold out for much longer and soon succumbed to the fierce attack of Wang Dahu's army.
Seeing that the army was losing ground and was about to be attacked by Wang Dahu, the Khan of the Yarkand Khanate immediately led the remaining troops to flee to the southwest.
However, as the core of a country, how could Wang Dahu let them go?
He had only fled a few hundred miles before he was caught up by the army led by Wang Dahu, who defeated Wang Ting's army in one fell swoop, beheaded the Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, swallowed up the dragon energy of his country's destiny, and completely destroyed the Yarkand Khanate.
When Wang Dahu attacked the Yarkand Khanate, Hong Chengchou, Zhou Lanying and others had already led their troops to attack Dosigandusi.
Basically, when Wang Dahu conquered the Yarkand Khanate, they had also captured Dosigandusi.
The remaining U-Tsang Regional Command could not hold out for long in the face of the two sides' continuous division of forces but still powerful armies attacking and encircling them.
In the eighth year of the Celestial Empire, not only had it recovered all of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it had even expanded.
For example, the Ming Dynasty never occupied Yarkand and the Kazakh Khanate.
In these places, the dynasty re-established provinces and set up the Chengxuanzhengsi, etc.
Dorgon and others in the Qing court led their troops into Central Siberia, while Li Zicheng entered Eastern Siberia.
The remnants of the Yarkand, Kazakh and other khanates in the west entered the Yuejibe Khanate.
The remnant forces in U-Tsangdusi and other places moved westward and southward into Kashmir, Nibala and other places.
In the ninth year of the Tianchao Dynasty, Wang Shi, Li Shu and others led their troops westward, while Wang Dahu, Zhou Lanying and others led their troops northward, jointly attacking the Mongolian Tatars and other tribes, completely encompassing the vast grassland.
At this point, the Celestial Empire stopped its rapid expansion.
It's still the same problem. Even after five years of development, occupying so many places at once, the manpower is beginning to be stretched.
Moreover, these places also need some time to build and develop.
Therefore, the dynasty temporarily suspended its expansion.
At the same time, during the three years of war, everyone gained a lot of merits and their positions and titles were promoted again and again.
After ten years in the Celestial Empire, these places have been completely stabilized, and what remains is in-depth construction and development.
As for the Celestial Empire's army, in addition to the regular garrison troops scattered across the country, the dynasty established eight armies, one guard, and two armies of heaven and earth.
The Eight Armies refer to the Eight Direction Army Groups.
The Eastern Azure Dragon Corps, under the command of the Left Army Commander-in-Chief, is led by the second-class Duke, Duke Jinghai Li Shu;
The Southern Suzaku Corps, the Front Army Commander's Office, the Corps Commander is the First Class Marquis, Zhennan Marquis Zhou Lanying;
The Western White Tiger Corps, the Right Army Commander's Office, is led by the Second-Class Wu'an Duke Wang Dahu;
Northern Xuanwu Army, the rear army governor's office, the army commander Wang Shi;
In addition, there were Li Yu, the commander of the Southeast Corps of the Left Army Governor's Office, Hong Chengchou, the commander of the Southwest Corps of the Front Army Governor's Office, Chen Zhengyang, the commander of the Northwest Corps of the Right Army Governor's Office, and Zu Dashou, the commander of the Northeast Corps of the Rear Army Governor's Office.
These are the Eight-Direction Legions established by the dynasty to guard the territory of the Celestial Empire from all directions.
In addition, the dynasty also established the Zhenwu Guard in the capital to protect the capital. It was under the jurisdiction of the Central Army Governor's Office and had a total of only 10,000 people. They were the elite among the elite selected from each army, and there were no soldiers below their supernatural powers.
And every once in a while, there would be military exercises, with the capable going on stage and the weak being sent down.
In addition to the eight armies and one guard, which are the legions stationed in various places, there are also two armies of heaven and earth, which are the heavenly soldiers belonging to the fairy world and the yin soldiers belonging to the underworld. Both are also under the command of the Central Army Governor's Office.
Its main duties are to patrol various places, suppress rebellions by strong men in various places, and arrest powerful demons and monsters.
Although at present, there is basically no large-scale rebellion by powerful people in the Celestial Empire, the local public security management departments and inspection departments are enough to suppress all illegalities, even demons and monsters.
Of course, even if those nearly immortal ghosts were suppressed by the Inspection Office, they would be sent to the locations of local land gods and city gods and suppressed into the underworld.
However, whether it is needed now or not, preparations must always be made.
Due to the special nature of the heavenly and ghostly soldiers, once a situation requiring military suppression arises, they can descend to various places at the fastest speed, saving the trouble of mobilizing many troops.
In fact, the dynasty was already preparing to hand over all the demons, ghosts, and powerful people causing chaos in the Celestial Empire to the heavenly soldiers and the evil soldiers.
At that time, the regular garrison troops within the Celestial Empire could be disbanded one by one or incorporated into other armies.
On the surface, there will be no army in the Celestial Empire, only eight legions on the borders and garrison guards in the center that cannot even be considered as a battle sequence.
After all, with the current strength of the Celestial Empire, who can reach the capital?
In addition to the reorganization of the army, the internal development of the Celestial Empire was also extremely rapid and was not affected at all by foreign wars.
In fact, it has promoted many related developments.
For example, road traffic, means of transportation, etc. have even become more advanced than those of later generations.
High-speed trains, small aircraft, etc. have all been developed.
Everything in the Celestial Empire is moving towards future generations, and even has the shadow of the future science fiction world.
In the city, many tall buildings gradually appeared.
Farmland outside cities began to develop towards centralized contracting.
With all kinds of rune instruments and magical powers, it often only takes three or two people to contract hundreds or thousands of acres.
And as the strength increases, more areas will be able to be contracted.
On the whole, except for some ancient city buildings that have been deliberately preserved, there is basically no big difference from later generations.
The population of China also experienced explosive growth during this decade.
According to some historical research in the past, in the early years of Chongzhen, if the hidden population was included, the Ming Dynasty had a population of about 165 million;
However, various natural disasters and wars broke out in the late Ming Dynasty. By the time the Ming Dynasty fell in 1644, the death toll had reached about million, and the population was only about million.
Later, with the Qing Dynasty's entry into the country, a large number of casualties were again caused.
By the Shunzhi period, there were only 70 million Chinese people left, and the total death toll was close to 100 million.
This shows the cruelty of the war in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
However, in this life, thanks to the intervention of the dynasty's salvation army, it only took about ten years to sweep across the entire Ming Dynasty.
In this way, casualties were reduced to a minimum.
All in all, there were only millions of casualties.
By the first year of the Celestial Empire, the population was still around 150 to 160 million.
In addition, in recent years, the majority of people no longer have to worry about their lives. With the encouragement of the state and various preferential policies, their enthusiasm for having children and future generations is naturally extremely high.
After ten years, every family will have three to five, five to six or even more children.
In addition, the territory was expanded and more people joined the Celestial Empire.
Today's population of China has reached more than 485 million.
You have to know that at that time, the world's population, excluding China, was only about 500 million.
In other words, China's population at that time basically accounted for half of the world's population, making it the undisputed most populous country in the world.
With such a large population, as long as the newborns grow up, China will have enough confidence to conquer the world.
In addition to population and construction development in various places, the status of heaven and earth has also been basically popularized.
Except for infants and young children, everyone, whether scholar or peasant, has his or her own natural status.
Some people have even developed a variety of new magical powers based on the existing ones, as well as some special items, which have provided considerable help to the evolution of spiritual power rules.
Among them were scholars and peasants.
Some scholars, based on literary spirit, deeply analyzed the various magical rules and evolved a flourishing writing style.
With brush and ink as guides, when painting mountains and water, mountains and rivers appear; when writing poems and songs, poetic artistic conception is also derived; attack, defense, and suppression of demons are all done with one stroke.
There were scholars who elevated it to the point where their words became laws of nature; with a single word, the celestial phenomena could change, and attack and defense, as well as the subduing of demons and the exorcism of monsters, could all be accomplished with just a single word.
Of course, this is a far cry from the dynasty’s words and deeds.
A single word from the dynasty could change the rules of heaven and earth within the entire territory of the Celestial Empire.
And the scholar's words are followed by the law, which means he resonates with the literary spirit, and then uses the literary spirit to guide the power of rules. At most, it can cover a few hundred meters, which is equivalent to the realm of supernatural powers.
As for the titles of scholar and juren, they were naturally not obtained through examinations as before.
Well, because in the Celestial Empire, there is no imperial examination system, so naturally there are no titles such as scholar and juren.
However, some scholars who still thought about their previous glory gave titles such as scholar and juren to the realm of literary and Taoist practice.
It is equivalent to a schoolboy in the meditation realm; a student or a boy in the seal concentration realm; a scholar in the qi training realm; a juren in the supernatural power realm, etc.
The dynasty did not interfere in this regard.
He just evolved a natural status, the top scholar.
However, this top scholar is no longer the top scholar in the imperial examination.
Instead, the top talents in all schools, all subjects, and even all industries can all be called top scorers.
There can be a top scholar in literature, a top scholar in martial arts, and other top scholars as well.
Astronomy and geography, physics and chemistry, magical powers, and so on.
Even an elementary school student can become the top student in their school.
All of a sudden, the top scholar became a title for someone who excels in some aspect.
As the name becomes more influential, it also becomes more ordinary.
Naturally, many scholars were dissatisfied with this.
Especially some farmers, they may become the top scholar in some aspect of farming, which makes them feel even more unfair.
You are a peasant who just works on the land, how can you be called the top scholar?
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they were powerless and could only suppress all their thoughts in their hearts.
Wang Chao just smiled and passed it off.
To be honest, although the status of the top scholar in the dynasty's evolution was related to them, it was not specifically aimed at them.
Everything the dynasty did was for the development of the Celestial Empire and the spiritual progress of the people under its rule.
The title of top scholar was derived from this.
It was just that after hearing what they had done, Wang Chao suddenly thought of the top scholar.
And since it is for the purpose of cultivation of the people under the rule.
Then the title of top scholar is naturally not just a simple honorary title.
The status of the top scholar can allow the winner to double his cultivation speed before the next top scholar is born next year.
In this way, year after year, the best seedlings can naturally be selected, allowing their strength to improve faster, reaching the realm of supernatural powers, comprehending the rules, and in turn promoting the progress of the dynasty.
With this title of top scholar that brings both fame and fortune, the competitive atmosphere in all walks of life has indeed been greatly promoted.
In a short period of time, everyone's practice improved by leaps and bounds, and all kinds of magical powers and techniques also evolved.
In addition, rune machines, rune items, etc. based on rune arrays are also emerging in endlessly.
In Xincheng, Henan, golden wheat waves roll in a vast farmland.
An old man wearing coarse linen clothes but with a ruddy face was looking ahead with hope, facing the oncoming heat wave.
Where he was looking, a scarecrow made of straw was standing quietly in the middle of the rice field.
With the help of magical powers and rune machines, it only takes three or two people to cultivate hundreds or thousands of acres of land.
However, there are also many inconveniences.
Fortunately, the Cordyceps disaster can be easily eliminated with the power of supernatural powers.
However, it is difficult to drive away the pecking of birds and the destruction of wild beasts.
After all, they are not like Cordyceps. As long as weeds in the field are removed and the pests in them are killed, they will basically not appear again within a short period of time.
The nests of birds and animals are not in the fields. They appear and disappear suddenly, making them difficult to drive away.
They can't stay in the fields all the time, can they?
Moreover, as the energy of heaven and earth gradually becomes richer, today's birds and beasts are also evolving again and again.
Not only has its appetite and destructive power greatly increased, it has also gained a certain level of intelligence. Ordinary methods of driving it away are of little use at all.
Just like the scarecrow in the past, it will only become a place for birds to stay, rather than a weapon to drive them away.
Therefore, those who contract the land may not need to worry too much about planting and harvesting.
However, the damage caused by birds and animals has become a major problem.
Over the years, they can be said to have been fighting with birds and beasts and enjoying themselves very much.
Supernatural powers, magic arrays, and all kinds of means are used.
However, these measures have a small coverage area and a limited duration, so the effect is not good.
Even when using magic circles, because they are too mechanical and rigid, some birds and beasts can use their own strength, or even accidentally born magical powers, to forcibly break through the magic circle.
The power when the magic circle collapses will cause even greater damage.
The magical powers are flexible and highly targeted. Even birds and beasts that have mastered innate magical powers are no match for the person who uses them.
But that requires someone to perform it.
However, the birds and animals that destroy farmland will immediately scatter once they discover people.
After the owner of the farmland leaves, they will quickly gather around again.
This is like guerrilla warfare, which makes the farm owners very annoyed but helpless.
