Chapter 282: Come to Japan and destroy your mechanical city!

Mo Guang had just finished speaking.

Jia Cong understood that it must be the brilliant victory in Nanyang that made the Mohists unable to sit still.

I also want to join Jia Cong’s side.

Even though the Mohist school and the Confucian school had lived in peace for countless years, they even had some cooperation.

But the power of Confucian and Taoist rules is limited. In the future, if the Confucius School has more power, the Mohist School will have less power.

For such a powerful force, friendships are empty and only interests are fundamental.

Mo Guang finished speaking at this time. Although he was still surrounded in the center, he didn’t feel much nervous anymore.

In terms of prestige, Mohism is the most prominent among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The descendants of Mohist school have always been sought after by countless powerful people.

In terms of strength, the Mohist mechanism is like wood and stone; in terms of bronze, one has to ask Gongshu.

Don’t think that the Mohist school and the Gongshu school are similar in name.

But after countless years of development, any one of the three branches of Mohism is enough to crush the Gongshu School.

It has been slowly eroding the earth for so many years, like a frog in boiling water.

It’s just that he doesn’t want to bear the loss of Gongshujia’s dying counterattack.

“You, the Mohist school, want to join the Dongli Academy?”

Jia Cong was calm and composed, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

“If the Marquis is willing to give the Mo family this opportunity, the Mo family is willing to do its part for the Marquis Academy.”

Seeing this, Mo Guang simply spoke openly.

He directly expressed his desire to join Jia Cong’s alliance.

The addition of one semi-saint, three great scholars, and ten great scholars is an irresistible temptation for any force.

Combined with the support of Mohist forces in various places, the development time of the academy can be reduced by at least ten years.

Even Gongshu Yu, who had just soared into the air while riding a fourth-level puppet, changed his expression.

It is obvious that the benefits that Gongshujia can offer are far less than those of Mohism.

“interesting!”

“Earlier, your Mo family’s Mo Ying colluded with the Kong family to set up an ambush, intending to kill Ben Hou.”

“It’s been less than half a year and you want to change your job.”

Jia Cong chuckled, with no intention of saving face for Mo Guang.

“Do you know that Gongshujia has been under my command for more than a year?”

“My Lord, you are wise. Although the Mohist School and the Gongshu School have always had grievances, they are not incapable of coexisting.”

“The benefits that Gongshujia can bring to the Marquis, the Mohist School can bring many times more!!”

“As long as the Marquis is willing, the Mo family is willing to gather 100,000 skilled craftsmen for the Marquis within a month!”

Mo Guang’s tone was sincere.

You know, this is one of the three great masters of the Mohist School, a fifth-level semi-saint. He represents that the Mohist School would rather coexist with the Speed ​​Gongshu School than form an alliance with Jia Cong.

And this alliance is obviously headed by Jia Cong.

Even the royal families of all dynasties did not dare to think of such a good thing.

If it were known to outsiders, who knows how many powerful people and even the Emperor of Shunde would be envious.

“Who do you think I am?”

“A despicable person like Kong Zongren who has no humanity, righteousness, propriety, wisdom or trustworthiness?”

“Go away! Since you are here to ask for forgiveness, I will not embarrass you today!”

“Gongshujia has already been under my command!”

“When I return to the court, I will destroy your Mo family’s mechanical city on behalf of Gong Shujia and settle the old feud!”

……

“Master Hou!”

After Jia Cong finished speaking, Mo Ying, a dignified fifth-level semi-saint, even suspected that he was hallucinating.

From ancient times to the present, the Mohist school has never been rejected or even humiliated like this.

Not to mention the threat of destroying the Mechanical City!

I wanted to say something else, but Huici took over the conversation with a smile.

“Amitabha, I am the humble monk Luo Tianzong Huici!”

“Would you like to stay and discuss the path of life and death with me, and comprehend the cause and effect of creation?”

Huici clasped his hands together, and a dark ghostly aura loomed behind him, evolving into countless faces wailing in pain.

Baochai and others around also looked as if they were mobilizing their supernatural powers and were ready to take action at any time.

“The Mo family awaits the arrival of the Lord!”

Seeing that the alliance failed and he was humiliated, Mo Guang bowed, turned around and rode away on the river of Confucianism and Taoism.

“Master Hou!”

After Mo Guang left, Gongshu Yu had a complicated expression.

It was also unexpected that Jia Cong was willing to refuse such a great opportunity as forming an alliance with the Mohist School for the sake of Gongshu Jia.

You must know that even if Gongshu Jia surrendered to Jia Cong at the beginning, it was only because he was forced by the situation.

“Do your best and don’t let me down.”

Jia Cong nodded lightly and said nothing more.

But this made Gongshu Yu even more moved, and he quickly expressed his loyalty.

“Don’t worry, my Lord. Gongshujia will definitely live up to your hospitality today!”

“Ok!”

……

Jia Cong’s Study
“Cong’er, after today, the mysteriousness of Luo Tian Sect has been thoroughly accepted by the people.”

After returning to the study, only Jia Cong, Miaoyu, Daiyu and Baochai were left.

Baochai said with a smile on her face.

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from Sister Bao.”

Jia Cong stretched out his hand and used his divine power to control the teapot to add a cup of tea to the four people.

Luotian Sect is a hidden sect made up by Jia Cong, and it is also a protective umbrella that Jia Cong gave himself.

Since Jia Cong’s strong rise, he has been the focus of attention of countless forces, big and small.

I don’t know how many people are investigating Luo Tianzong’s whereabouts.

But in the final analysis, fake is fake, and after a long time, some people may become suspicious.

But things will be very different after today.

First, he became a mortal enemy of the Kong family, and then, while fighting against Westerners, he did not hesitate to say things like “destroy the Mohist mechanical city.”

Anyone who can do such a thing must either have enough ceremony and confidence.

Or he is just a fool who doesn’t know his place.

But Jia Cong has his current status and military achievements!
Anyone who thinks he is a fool is a real fool.

Needless to say, what does Jia Cong rely on? It is naturally his master, Luo Tianzong.

With preconceived notions, the major forces could not find any trace of Luo Tian Sect.

They would only feel that the master behind Jia Cong was becoming more mysterious and terrifying, and would not doubt this force that did not exist at all.

It doesn’t take much time.

According to the speed of Shinto development, twenty years at most is just a blink of an eye for a being in the fourth realm.

Jia Cong was confident enough to develop Shinto to the point where he no longer needed to rely on the Luotian Sect.

……

“If a Mohist compromise force forms an alliance with us, at most they can send the Mohist branch of Dengling clan.”

“The Mohists advocate universal love and non-aggression, so it is impossible for them to truly stand with us. Even if they turn against us in the future, we can still use this doctrine to stabilize our spirit.”

“This alliance is nothing more than the icing on the cake.”

“We already have two allies, the Legalists and the Gexian School.”

“One more Mohist will not make much difference, and one less Mohist will not make much difference.”

Jia Cong continued.

“I originally planned to support Gong Shujia in the future to achieve my goal of buying horse bones with a huge sum of money.”

“It just took too long. I didn’t expect that the Mo family would take the initiative to come to my door now.”

“It couldn’t have worked better.”

“Cong’er, I understand. I will let the ghosts and gods in various places spread this matter secretly.”

Baochai smiled when she heard this, and immediately understood Jia Cong’s arrangement. “Thank you for your hard work, Sister Bao!”

“By the way, investigate the location of the Mo family mechanical city.”

“The Mohists are not qualified to be my allies, but I can use a Mohist with a broken spine.”

The Mohist Mechanical City is the Mohist’s base camp!
The earliest record appeared before the Qin Dynasty, during the period of a hundred schools of thought.

It is a masterpiece that integrates the mechanical techniques of the Mohist school.

For countless years, successive generations of Mohist descendants have modified and expanded it.

It is called “the paradise on earth” and “the devil’s land outside the sky”.

However, few people know its exact location, making it extremely mysterious.

……

The story of Mohist visit soon spread through the Shinto and ghost communities in various places, starting with the coastal provinces.

Spreading towards the inland provinces of Daqian.

It concerns Jia Cong, the most prominent person in Daqian in the past two years, and the giant Mohist School.

It was talked about by countless people for a while.

At this time, the good reputation that Jia Cong had been deliberately cultivating began to take effect.

It goes without saying which one is stronger, the Mohist school or the Gongshu school.

Jia Cong’s actions are exactly what the Confucianism advocates: “righteousness”!

Not only are large amounts of land in Jiangnan and Shandong leased to the people at low prices, but tenants who are unable to make ends meet due to family misfortunes will also have their rent further reduced or exempted.

Dongli Academy is now also beginning to expand gradually.

Last year, several branches were established not only in the Gyeonggi region.

Three branches were also built in Jiangnan and Shandong.

Although the subsidies for students in the academy are not as much as those in the Dongli Academy in the capital.

But food, accommodation and tuition are all free, and the food distributed by the academy every month is enough to support a family of three.

Outstanding students will also be eligible to enroll in the main campus in Beijing.

A series of actions made Jia Cong’s prestige among the poor scholars in the world reach its peak.

There is no need to do much, there will naturally be poor students who will spread Jia Cong’s good name everywhere.

The incident of the Kong family betraying their ally the Yan family was also brought up again.

The Kong family’s reputation plummeted again.

Comparing the two, Jia Cong’s reputation for benevolence and righteousness is further highlighted.

……

Jia Cong handed over the internal affairs of Daqian to the gods and ghosts to handle.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons traveled around Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi to establish the Shinto system.

They spent a lot of money to buy land and rent it to poor people at low prices.

Initially, they would harvest the incense of faith, and then they would build the City God and Land God Temple, eliminate the evil spirits in various places, and safeguard the safety of the people.

The whole set of procedures was familiar to the Ox-Head and Horse-Face who had already opened up the Shandong Sacred Road.

Jia Cong doesn’t need to worry too much.

Jia Cong’s entire attention was focused on the war in Southeast Asia.

February 16! Good for traveling and praying!
After more than a month of preparation, order in the two protectorates of Annan and Zhenla had been stabilized, and officials in various places were selected from local clans.

The army set out again, divided into three groups!
Led all the way by Jia Cong!

Leave 30,000 troops from the Beijing camp and 30,000 prisoners in the camp under the command of Ma Shang to garrison in Annan Protectorate!

There are 30,000 remaining troops in the Beijing camp and 150,000 prisoners in the prison camp.

A total of 200,000 troops headed west to first take over the Nanzhao Dynasty in Laos!
Led by Sui Maoxiang, who left 30,000 soldiers to garrison the Zhenla Protectorate, an army of 120,000 plus a camp of 20,000 prisoners marched straight into Siam.

The other group consisted of two defeated armies led by Prince Zhongshun and the nobles of Kaiyuan.

Prince Zhongshun was renamed Prince of Siam by Emperor Shunde.

It was just in name only. After the defeated army was taken over, it was handed over to the Imperial City Administration established by Emperor Shunde at the instruction of Jia Cong.

He is now under house arrest in a small town on the border of Siam.

All the civil and military officials in the court now focused all their energy on the southern expedition. No one tacitly mentioned Prince Zhongshun, whose forces had been completely destroyed and who had completely lost his power.

Even the retired emperor Kaiyuan was extremely disappointed with Zhongshun and acquiesced to the treatment of Emperor Shunde.

Just make sure they have enough food and clothing and have offspring to inherit the family.

There were a total of more than 100,000 troops in this army, which were reorganized after being disrupted by Zhuxie Guishuai.

It is mainly composed of more than 20,000 elite soldiers from the two major ghost armies, the Zhuxie Army and the Zhenman Army.

A large amount of military equipment, food and supplies were transported from Guangxi, and the morale of the troops was restored after the repairs.

Starting from the border between Myanmar and Siam, head south directly to the capital of Siam.

There were also 100,000 naval forces and more than 900 warships led by Song Kaijiang, sailing on the sea, searching for the remnants of the Western fleet while clearing out all ships on the sea except Daqian.

……

The three armies total 450,000!

There are more people than when Jia Cong landed in Annan last year.

If it weren’t for the bumper harvests in the Southeast Asian countries in recent years, a large amount of grain could have been plundered locally for military use.

In addition, Emperor Shunde allocated grain from Daqian to the south.

Jia Cong really couldn’t support such a large army.

But at the same time, the number of troops is so large that it makes the enemy despair.

Just taking steady steps will be enough to make any enemy strategy ineffective.

March 7th!

The royal family of the Nanzhan Dynasty surrendered!

The Laos Xuanwei Office was changed to Nanzhandu Protectorate!
Hou Jingyun, the commander of Jia Cong’s personal guards, was appointed the first Grand Protector of Nanzhan Protectorate!

Leave behind 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp and 10,000 prisoners in the camp!

Hou Jingyun, who practiced the “Bloodthirsty Art”, has a bloodthirsty personality.

After following Jia Cong for so long, he has also developed an iron fist.

With the cooperation of the Nanzhan royal family after their surrender, it was enough to suppress the situation in the Nanzhan Protectorate.

The remaining troops head south!

Until May 6th!

The capital of Siam

“kill!”

“kill!”

“kill!”

It took two months and three armies to sweep across the country!

Most of the cities in Siam have fallen.

Outside Dacheng Prefecture, an army of 400,000 surrounded the city.

The shouts and cries of killing were deafening, but in the city of Dacheng Prefecture, there were only more than 100,000 defenders left.

At this point in the battle, it no longer matters whether it is a main attack or a feint attack.

The morale of the Dachengfu defenders was low when they were defending the city.

Under attack from all sides, it took only three hours.

The outer city wall of Dacheng Prefecture collapsed, and a large number of soldiers either fled into the city in defeat or simply knelt on the city wall and surrendered.

After Huici suppressed the fourth-level peak ancestral spirit of Siam, as well as two martial arts masters and one of the fourth-level masters who practiced evil methods.

The palace gates are wide open!

“My Lord, please wait!”

“Siam is willing to surrender!”

“Siam is willing to surrender!”

“I beg you, Lord, to forgive the people in my city!”

Siam led the remaining dozens of royal family members out of the palace, kneeling on the ground and begging for surrender.

“I want to ask you, where is the main force of the Westerners who helped you before now?”

Jia Cong descended from the sky on his horse, looking down at the King of Siam who was kneeling on the ground begging for surrender.

“To reply to the words of the Lord of the Upper Country, I was also deceived by that Westerner.”

“Seven days ago, the Westerner who had promised to help me set up an ambush outside the city suddenly disappeared overnight and is nowhere to be found!”
