Chapter 254 Swallowing the Dragon Qi, Subjugating, and the Birth of the Prince

On June 28, Li Shu led his team to the border of Dashun. The army was deployed, and a huge green dragon, with its fangs and claws bared, looked at the Golden Dragon of Dashun.

Facing the peeping and provocation of the Azure Dragon Army Soul, the Golden Dragon of Dashun immediately roared angrily.

"Ang~!"

The overbearing power came instantly.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a violent collision, the sky changed and the air twisted.

The Azure Dragon Army Soul shook violently, and the military spirit dissipated a little.

And the Golden Dragon of Dashun's National Destiny fell back violently, and was almost shaken out of the Kyoto garrison.

Speaking of it, the Golden Dragon of Dashun's National Destiny was better than Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi.

Because Zhang Xianzhong implemented a strict slave hierarchy and was bloodthirsty, I don't know how many people were killed by him and his army.

If it weren't for the occasional looting of people from Honshu Island, Daxi might not even reach 500,000 people.

Acting in this way, he and his Great Western Kingdom will naturally not be popular among the people at the bottom, and the national destiny will naturally appear loose.

However, the Dashun established by Li Zicheng is different. After coming to Korea, he directly announced to the outside world that the Lee Dynasty of Korea was a branch of his ancestors, Li Zicheng, who migrated there due to war.

Nowadays, because of the incompetence of this branch, the people of the Lee Dynasty of Korea are living in poverty, and as a descendant of the main branch of the Lee family, he has the obligation and responsibility to rebuild the country and bring a better life to the people of Korea.

As for whether the princes and nobles believe it or not, it doesn't matter.

All Li Zicheng needs is a righteous name.

If he says it too much, plus enough benefits, the people at the bottom will recognize it even if they don't believe it.

What's more, Li Zicheng also launched slogans such as beating the rich and dividing the land, equalizing the land and exempting taxes, and buying and selling at an equal level, which makes people make up folk songs.

Like killing cattle and sheep, preparing wine and liquor, preparing wine and liquor to welcome the King of Rebellion.

Welcome the King of Rebellion, look forward to the King of Rebellion, and don't pay grain when the King of Rebellion comes, etc.

Faced with such an army and leader, the lower-class people naturally welcomed them.

Coupled with the strong military strength, Li Zicheng and his men quickly established their foothold. Now they have occupied most of Korea, with a population of 6 to 7 million, and have occupied most of Korea.

If he had not been worried about the Celestial Empire and the Qing army on the other side of the Yalu River, he might even have occupied all of Korea.

In this way, the national destiny he gathered was naturally not comparable to Zhang Xianzhong.

At the beginning, Li Shu was able to fight against his national destiny golden dragon with his own strength, and was only slightly inferior.

And now, Li Shu formed an army formation, but he was only evenly matched, or had a slight advantage.

On the other side, with the roar of the national destiny golden dragon and the conflict with the Qinglong military soul, Li Zicheng instantly realized that his mind had merged with the national destiny golden dragon and looked towards the south.

After discovering Li Shu and others, his face changed.

He immediately summoned his civil and military men to discuss matters, and at the same time negotiated with Li Shu through the national destiny golden dragon.

"I didn't know that the Marquis was coming. I failed to welcome you. Please forgive me."

"Hahaha, Chief Li is too polite. I am the one who should ask Chief Li for forgiveness for my presumptuous visit."

After some insincere politeness, Li Zicheng finally spoke.

"I don't know why the Marquis is here?"

"Oh, I was ordered to patrol the sea borders and protect the stability of various places on the sea. The dragon energy is quite depleted, so I would like to ask Chief Li for some support."

Looking at Li Shu and then at Daxi Kingdom, Li Zicheng still has something to understand. This is to make Dashun also worship dragon energy.

In the main hall of the Seoul Palace, a group of civil and military officials fell into silence after seeing these through Li Zicheng's projection images.

Dividing the dragon energy to worship the Celestial Dynasty

No, this is not even worshipping the Celestial Dynasty, but just a Marquis of the Celestial Dynasty.

Naturally, everyone is unwilling.

But if they are asked to resist, they are also powerless, and they can't even raise the spirit at all.

The tragic situation of Japan is still before our eyes.

They don't want the Great Shun Kingdom, which they have established with great difficulty, to be destroyed so easily.

"Your Majesty, I think the words of the Ming Taizu when he started the rebellion are very reasonable."

"Oh, what words?"

"Delay the claim to the throne and accumulate grain."

"Isn't that a reflection of our current situation?

Since we are temporarily at a disadvantage, we can only secretly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity."

"Well, the Prime Minister means

to agree to his request?!"

Well, Li Zicheng's Great Shun Kingdom is also the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, this is the best choice at present!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, now we still have to overcome the crisis in front of us."

"Well, if we can't even get through this hurdle, how can we talk about the future?"

"Indeed!"

Looking at the reactions of the civil and military officials below, Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

They have been frightened by the previous performance of the imperial edict in Japan, and they no longer have much courage to confront the Celestial Empire.

In other words, anyone who sees such a scene will be timid.

Among them, Li Zicheng was also included.

"My Lord, in order to comfort you for your hard work for our small country, we are willing to pay 30% of the dragon energy and pay tribute to the Celestial Empire."

Regarding Li Zicheng's conditions, Li Shu did not comment, but just spoke lightly and stated Zhang Xianzhong's conditions.

"Zhang Xianzhong, the King of Daxi, will divide 80% of the national destiny golden dragon, and offer 30% of the dragon energy every year in the future."

"This"

After hearing what Zhang Xianzhong had done, Li Zicheng felt difficulty breathing.

You thief, how can I deal with you like this?

Looking at the expectant eyes of the civil and military minister below, Li Zicheng finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Ang~!"

The golden dragon of national luck is divided into two, the big one goes to the border, and the small one still sits in Seoul.

Looking at the huge National Fortune Golden Dragon in front of him, Li Shu's face was full of joy. He stretched out his hand to call out the imperial edict, controlled the dragon's energy to appear, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"King Dashun, thank you for your support for maritime security. I will go to the north for inspection."

Saying thanks, Li Shu once again led his army to the north, reaching North Korea, harvesting the Korean dragon energy again, and then led his army back to the Ryukyu Islands, preparing to harvest another wave of dragon energy.

Seeing the mighty and domineering cyan dragon that completely crushed the golden dragon of the country's fortune, the civil and military ministers of Ryukyu, including the King of Ryukyu, were all frightened and turned pale.

The Celestial Empire is really powerful. I'm afraid it only takes one warship to completely destroy them, right?

Therefore, when faced with Li Shu's request, the Ryukyu King agreed immediately.

But then, the King of Ryukyu felt something in his heart, and he directly requested to join the Celestial Dynasty.

"I have admired my country for a long time. Now that the army of the dynasty has arrived, I would like to attach myself to the dynasty and be a loyal minister of the dynasty."

Upon hearing the Ryukyu King's request, all the civil and military men under him were slightly startled at first.

But then they realized what they were doing and they all knelt down and worshiped.

"I hope you can enclose it!"

Facing the King of Ryukyu's unconventional operation, Li Shu felt numb for a moment.

I just want to collect a wave of dragon energy. Actually, you don't have to rush to invest.

However, since the King of Ryukyu wants to be included, it is not his decision.

This was the first case, there was no precedent at all, and he didn't know whether to agree or not.

In the end, he could only report the situation to the dynasty.

In this regard, the dynasty will naturally not turn it away.

He is not like the emperors of the past dynasties who felt that except for the Central Plains, they were all barbarian lands. Not to mention fighting them, even those who actively annexed them might be rejected.

After some thought, the dynasty decided to canonize the Ryukyu King as a third-class earl.

After all, although he had meritorious service by offering land, he was also the first country to ask for annexation.

However, first of all, its territory is not large, and secondly, the Celestial Empire does not need to use it to show its great power.

In the Celestial Dynasty, all appointments and promotions of noble positions must be measured by merit.

This is the bottom line.

If your merits are sufficient, you may not be canonized due to some reasons, but if your merits are not enough, you will definitely not be canonized.

Being able to canonize a third-class earl from the King of Ryukyu is already the best treatment.

As the dynasty agreed and decreed the canonization, the golden dragon of national destiny where Ryukyu was located suddenly let out a dragon roar and rushed towards the direction of the celestial dynasty.

On the other side, the national destiny of China is also coming in droves.

"boom!"

In an instant, Ryukyu's national destiny, the Golden Dragon, crashed into the national destiny of China.

Immediately afterwards, like ice and snow melting, it turned into countless pure dragon energy. Like all rivers returning to the sea, it quickly rushed towards the capital and was swallowed by the golden dragon of national luck.

But here in Ryukyu, a layer of national destiny of the Chinese dynasty was quickly enveloped.

As the King of Ryukyu received the imperial edict, a golden light suddenly bloomed and disappeared into his eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon energy of the country's destiny circulated, pulling the power of the rules of heaven and earth, and quickly evolved into a third-class earl.

Subsequently, the personality drew the energy of heaven and earth into the body, causing its strength to increase rapidly, and it soon reached the middle stage of Qi training.

Although only in terms of pure amount of infuriating energy, it is slightly thicker than before.

However, the quality is worlds apart.

The powerful momentum spread, and all the civil and military ministers around felt their legs weaken and almost fell to their knees.

For these princes and ministers who followed the Ryukyu King to present the map, the dynasty also followed the old system and awarded titles according to their contributions.

Most were barons, and a few were given the rank of third viscount.

And even this near-lower title has greatly improved their strength.

The energy concentration may not increase much, it may even decrease.

But that's the essential difference.

They could feel that their current selves could easily crush dozens of previous selves.

In addition to them, Li Shu's title was also promoted by one level, to the first-class Marquis Jinghai.

As time went by, what Li Shu did on the sea and what happened in the Japanese country gradually spread.

Suddenly, the surrounding countries were shocked, and they immediately sent envoys to the capital of the Celestial Dynasty to pay homage to the Celestial Emperor, expressing their willingness to surrender and pay tribute, and become a vassal state of the Celestial Dynasty.

The dynasty ignored all these matters and handed over full power to the Honglu Temple under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

Tell the envoys of various countries that it is enough for countries to interact with each other on an equal footing. China respects the sovereignty of all countries and will never act to lord it over other countries.

When they heard this on the first day of the new year, the envoys from various countries were happy at first, but then their expressions changed drastically.

What does it mean? Is this an unwillingness to accept them as vassals? Is it to destroy their country and occupy their land and country?

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel anxious.

However, after a period of time, everyone felt a little relieved when they saw that the Celestial Empire had no intention of launching troops.

Although in the end, these countries failed to achieve their ultimate goal and become vassal states of the Celestial Empire.

However, if the Celestial Empire could not attack them, it would be acceptable.

Time passed, and it was the end of the year in a flash.

Although they did not become vassal states of the Celestial Empire.

However, the surrounding countries still brought a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, local specialties, etc. to the Celestial Empire to pay tribute.

In response, the Celestial Empire also reciprocated and gave some rewards according to the number of tribute items from various countries.

Of course, it would certainly not be possible to reward such heavy gifts like the Ming Dynasty.

The return gifts of the Celestial Empire were basically some gorgeous glass products or bulk silk fabrics.

Although it was not prepared to maintain this relationship for a long time, the dynasty would still not make a loss.

On May 18th of the second year of the Celestial Empire, Queen Ji Nanyue, who had been pregnant for a full year, gave birth to the dynasty's first child, who was also the crown prince of the Celestial Empire and was named Wang Jingchen by the dynasty.

Jing refers to beautiful jade, and Chen refers to the emperor's palace. The dynasty hopes that he will have the quality of jade-like purity and become an outstanding leader of the country in the future.

On the day when Wang Jingchen was born, the rosy clouds rose to the sky, the world shook, and endless energy flowed, turning into bright rosy clouds visible to the naked eye.

Between the dragon and the phoenix, the sky was full of flowers, and the ground was full of golden lotuses.

You should know that Wang Jingchen has been constantly integrating the origin of heaven and earth since the beginning of his pregnancy.

When he was born, it would naturally resonate with heaven and earth, and strange phenomena would appear in the sky. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the son of destiny and destiny of this world.

He was born to practice Qi, and he reached the middle stage of Qi practice after a full moon. Although the improvement speed slowed down afterwards, it is still not comparable to ordinary people.

Moreover, although his life span did not inherit the dynasty, he also inherited his mother Ji Nanyue, and directly reached a life span of 500 years.

The birth of the prince of the Celestial Dynasty naturally attracted gifts from various countries to congratulate him again.

It was also on this day that the dynasty completely released the evolution of the status of heaven and earth.

As long as they are citizens of the Celestial Empire, they have the opportunity to evolve their heavenly and earthly status.

With the cry of a baby that spread throughout the Celestial Empire, everyone felt a shock in their hearts, and the rules of heaven and earth and the energy of heaven and earth poured back, cleansing their bodies and souls.

It seemed that they also ushered in another rebirth at this moment.

Following the induction in the dark, everyone began to communicate with the fate of the country and do what they want.

Farmers plowed the fields, teachers taught, and craftsmen worked.

A trace of rule power began to be slowly drawn by everyone, and a little bit of it was immersed in everyone's body, in harmony with their spirit and mind, and gradually gathered to evolve their own heavenly and earthly status.

However, because this process is in harmony with people's spirit and mind, it will consume a lot of spiritual power.

Therefore, not everyone can evolve their heavenly and earthly status.

It can even be said that most people have not evolved their heavenly and earthly status.

However, after all, it has begun to breed evolution, and with the initial seeds, it can naturally evolve little by little later.
