Douluo’s Immortal Swordsman
Chapter 216: 【Big
Xue Qinghe was taken aback, but after thinking about it, he understood that although Su Qin is already a nobleman with a title and a viscount, after all, Su Qin has only just been granted the title, and Su Qin knows the history of the Heaven Dou Empire. Not many, this is a normal thing.
After all, the history of the Heaven Dou Empire, those who do not have a title are not qualified to know.
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and said: "Su Qin, you are now a nobleman in the empire, and you are qualified to know this. I won't keep it from you. About thirty years ago, a kingdom that was entrusted rebelled. Back then. With 80,000 troops, they launched an attack towards Tiandou City.
At that time, the last emperor was still in power. He sent his father, who was only in his twenties at the time, to attack with troops. The two sides fought on the plains east of Tiandou City for more than three months. In the end, the royal knights led by the father's emperor forced an opening from the flank and killed the rebel leader on the spot.
The emperor father personally cut off the head of the leader of the rebel army and hung up in front of the opposing king's capital for more than a month. Therefore, the fame of the emperor father spread to the entire continent. Some enfeoffment nations that had other ideas at the beginning had to put down their little calculations.
From then to now, there has not been any rebellion in our Heaven Dou Empire. "
Su Qin nodded knowingly.
Su Qin originally thought that those guys were really so loyal!
Now it seems that the main reason is still not winning!
If they really win the fight, the enfeoffment nations probably wouldn't want someone else to take care of them. Naturally, they would revolt and become the supreme being!
Su Qin smiled and asked, "Brother Xue, I don't know if I should say something wrong?"
Xue Qinghe looked at Su Qin, and could roughly guess what Su Qin wanted to say, but still smiled boldly and said, "Su Qin, but it's okay to say it."
Su Qin nodded and said sincerely: "Brother Xue, now the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial power is seriously dispersed. If you really want to unify the entire continent, then none of the enfeoffed nations can remain, and you will not be able to seal the nation again in the future."
Xue Qinghe laughed bitterly before shook his head and said: "Su Qin, I know everything you said. If you want to strengthen the imperial power, you must take back the powers that were released. The first is the enfeoffment country.
The father has also been doing this, but for so many years, there is basically no effect.
In the current Tiandou Empire, the Star Luo Empire is staring at it outside, and there are five enfeoffment nations, large and small, inside. These five enfeoffment nations are not strong alone, but once they unite, even the royal family can barely tie them. It is not so simple to take back the powers that have been allocated.
Unless they can conquer these five enfeoffed nations at the fastest speed. Otherwise, once war broke out within the Tiandou Empire, the Star Luo Empire in the south would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.
By then, the Star Luo Empire will inevitably lead its troops northward, and it will be really difficult for my Heaven Dou Empire to deal with it. "
A smile appeared on Su Qin's face, and he smiled and said, "Brother Xue is right, but is there really no way to regain the imperial power without a large-scale war?"
"Oh? I wonder, Su Qin, what do you have to do?"
Xue Qinghe looked at Su Qin's expression and was very curious. Is there any good way for Su Qin? Xue Qinghe stopped the action of holding vegetables in his hand and asked the doubt in his heart.
Su Qin smiled and nodded, stretched out three fingers, and said unhurriedly: "I have three strategies, upper, middle and lower. I don't know if Brother Xue wants that strategy?"
A surprised look appeared on Xue Qinghe's face, and at the same time he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Is this Su Qin already prepared?
In fact, Xue Qinghe also had his own ideas on how to regain the imperial power, but he had only one way to do this, and now Su Qin actually said that he had three strategies, how could this not surprise him and wonder?
Xue Qinghe put down the chopsticks in his hand, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, staring at Su Qin's eyes closely, and curiously asked: "Su Qin, can you tell me about your three strategies?"
Su Qin nodded, with a faint smile on his face, and said unhurriedly: "Since I have said it, I naturally want to tell Brother Xue.
Let me start with the worst. Just as the so-called capture the thieves and the king, as long as the kings of the enfeoffment nations and their descendants are all resolved, then they can naturally take their land into the bag, even their existing power, without a large-scale war. Can also be used for your own use.
My next strategy is simple, is to hold a grand banquet in Tiandou City, and invite all those people over for a reason that cannot be refused. After that, put a little bit of Mongolian sweat medicine or other poison in their food, and then cooperate with powerful force to control them, or just kill them directly.
The reason why this strategy is a bad idea is that it is not a simple matter to invite everyone from the other party.
As long as there is a direct bloodline in the opposing king's capital that can lead the overall situation, once those guys learn that the king has been killed, they will inevitably launch a counterattack.
Of course, this is not impossible. When those kings come to the meeting, send some masters to forcibly assault their capital and kill those who stay behind. But among them, there are still many hidden dangers, and the Tiandou Empire is likely to lose a large area of territory. "
After Su Qin finished speaking, he paused slightly, leaving Xue Qinghe some time to think.
Xue Qinghe nodded thoughtfully as Su Qin said.
Although the strategy Su Qin mentioned could indeed bring back the power of those kingdoms, there were still many hidden dangers.
Once the kings of the enfeoffment kingdoms live and die, and the direct bloodlines left behind are also assassinated, then those kingdoms will inevitably fall into chaos in a short time. Although the Tiandou Empire has been prepared for it, the rebellion can be quickly put down, but the hidden danger is still There is no small.
If the Xingluo Empire in the south took the opportunity to initiate a war at this time, the consequences would be disastrous, even if the war could finally be restored. The Tiandou Empire lost a large area of territory, which is still indispensable.
Therefore, this can only be regarded as the best or the worst.
Su Qin paused and continued: "Zhongce needs a little external force. For example, the power of Wuhun Hall.
If you want to use the power of the Spirit Hall, then it will be much easier to implement than the worst, and there is no need to attract those people to the imperial capital. It only needs to send a group of powerful soul masters to sneak into those people's royal palaces silently, and then force the kings of the enfeoffed kingdoms to return their power to the Heaven Dou Emperor step by step.
In this way, there will be no chaos that might occur in bad decisions. Of course, this low-level strategy can be used in conjunction with the middle strategy. Using the two together will definitely be better than using one strategy alone. "
After talking about this strategy, Su Qin also paused, giving Xue Qinghe some time to think.
A light flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, and the expression in Su Qin's eyes became a bit sharper, and he stared at Su Qin for a long time, before taking back his gaze.
The plan Su Qin mentioned was exactly what Xue Qinghe had thought of.
Xue Qinghe naturally knew that most of the imperial power of the Tiandou Empire was in the hands of the enfeoffment nations. Although those enfeoffment nations still listened to the emperor of the Tiandou Empire on the surface, they thought about something secretly, probably only they knew about it. .
However, nine out of ten are not good things.
And Xue Qinghe was originally pretending to be Qian Renxue, so he naturally didn't have any psychological burdens to draw on the power of Wuhun Hall.
There was just one thing that made him a little puzzled, why this plan was just a middle strategy in Su Qin's mouth, does Su Qin have any better plans?
Xue Qinghe asked curiously: "So what is the best policy?"
Su Qin smiled slightly, took a sip from the wine glass on the table, and said with a smile: "The best policy I said will take a lot longer than the previous two. However, it can really be retaken without blood. Power in the hands of the enfeoffment nations.
Before I say that, I have a question to ask Brother Xue, who is the most people on the whole continent? "
Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment. Do you want to ask such a simple question?
Isn't this an obvious thing?
Although he thought so in his heart, Xue Qinghe did not show it. Without hesitation, he said in a positive tone: "Common people!"
Su Qin nodded and said, "Yes, there is no doubt that the most people on the entire continent are civilians.
Although the soul masters on Douluo Continent were noble, their number never exceeded five figures. And most of the spirit masters are still one or two low-level spirit masters, and there are even fewer spirit masters above the third ring. Therefore, throughout the ages, large-scale wars have mainly relied on an army composed of ordinary people.
But, Brother Xue, have you ever thought about a problem?
Even if ordinary people win the battle, how many rewards do they really get? Have ordinary people become aristocrats because of a big victory? "
Xue Qinghe was stunned when he heard the words, and he thought about Su Qin's question carefully.
Indeed, as Su Qin said, the only real nobles in the Douluo Continent are those noble and powerful soul masters. Even in the ordinary army, the generals are basically spirit masters who have joined the empire and possess spirit power. Most ordinary people are just low-level officers or even ordinary soldiers.
In the real aristocratic circle, there is no ordinary person, even the lowest baron is at least a spirit master.
Of course, those down-and-out nobles are not included in this list. The reason why these down-and-out nobles are nobles is because their ancestors were a powerful spirit master and made contributions to the Heaven Dou Empire, and they were awarded the title.
What Su Qin was talking about were ordinary people without spirit power.
Even if ordinary people win the battle, they can only get some monetary rewards. Their status is always ordinary civilians, at most they are only officers in the army who hold a low-level position, but after all, they are civilians.
Xue Qinghe thought so, and was suddenly startled, Su Qin said so, did he want to...?
Su Qin noticed the change in Xue Qinghe’s face, knowing that Xue Qinghe probably thought of the strategy he was talking about, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "My best strategy, although it takes a long time, but if it can be completed smoothly, it can help Brother Xue You gather a powerful army.
Of course, if you want to start this best strategy, there are two necessary conditions. The first is that you need Brother Xue to officially ascend the throne to become the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. The second is that you need my shadow building. The intelligence organization's sphere of influence extends to the entire sky. Most of the cities in Dou Empire.
However, the first point is the most important, and the second point is not a problem even if it is slower. This strategy still needs your cooperation from Brother Xue. "
As Su Qin said more, the expression on Xue Qinghe's face changed more.
Xue Qinghe had probably guessed what Su Qin's so-called superior policy was.
If we follow Su Qin's plan, it will not only affect the interests of the enfeoffment nations, but also the interests of other territorial nobles, and they will inevitably suffer fierce counterattacks from those people!
Su Qin said while paying attention to the changes in the expression on Xue Qinghe’s face, but Su Qin did not stop, but continued: "I have said so much, presumably Brother Xue also knows this strategy of mine. That is for those Ordinary civilians have the opportunity to climb up, and they are given certain rewards based on their military merits, including the title award!
I also know how big the resistance is. Once this news is released, it will inevitably suffer resistance from almost all the nobles, but this is actually nothing to ‘us’, is it? "
Xue Qinghe’s face was full of shock. Looking at Su Qin’s confident look, Xue Qinghe couldn’t think of how to answer Su Qin for a while, but stared at Su Qin with wide-open eyes, and nodded slowly after a long while. .
Xue Qinghe naturally understood what Su Qin meant by ‘we’, not only the meaning of the two of them, but also the spirit hall behind them.
Although this top strategy is the same as the middle strategy, both need to borrow the power of the Spirit Hall, but the two are not the same.
Zhongce uses the power of Wuhun Temple to eliminate dissidents, and this best strategy only needs to send a few elder-level figures to secretly protect the safety of the two.
This top strategy is better than the middle strategy.
Of course, it takes more time.
Once the best policy can be implemented smoothly, it will not only be able to slowly dismantle the power of the enfeoffment nations, but also gather an army that is not afraid of death.
However, if the army gathers, then a troublesome thing will follow.
So, what about such a large army?
Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, squinted at Su Qin, and asked in a deep voice, "This is a good strategy, but there is a very important problem that needs to be solved. The grain and grass in the national treasury cannot support much How to deal with the army’s food and grass?"
Su Qin laughed and said, "Brother Xue is safe and restless. I have naturally considered this. This is why I said that the second point is the need to spread the Shadow Towers in major cities. This step is to obtain the huge Food and grass."
After a pause, Su Qin continued: "Although the Shadow Tower is an intelligence organization, it still has an identity, that is, a veritable underground force. In the underground black market, the Shadow Tower can definitely bring us a lot of money. With this money, we can naturally purchase grain in the Tiandou Empire.
However, the output of the Tiandou Empire is similar every year, and there is probably a fixed number of grains and grass circulating in the market.
Although the Shadow Tower can make a lot of money, if you have been buying food in the Tiandou Empire, it will inevitably raise prices. This is not friendly to the lives of the people of the Tiandou Empire.
However, if we have money in our hands, we can naturally get food and grass from other sources. Since the Heaven Dou Empire cannot buy too much food and grass, then we can spend money to buy it in the Star Luo Empire!
We can secretly buy the grains circulating in the markets of the two countries and then hoard them as military supplies during the war.
Such a step by step hoarding a large amount of food, if the Star Luo Empire goes to war with us, then their food and grass will definitely not be as much as ours, even if their soldiers and horses are better than ours.
But at this time we should have integrated all the forces in the Heaven Dou Empire, and compared with them, there is not much difference. Even if there are ordinary people who can be awarded knights through military service, then the morale of our soldiers must be much higher than that of the Star Luo Empire.
Before the war begins, we can even turn directly and ask Wuhundian for help. In this way, we have an absolute advantage in high-end combat power!
Even if our ordinary army is weaker, but we have more soldiers and sufficient food and grass, we are not afraid to consume them at all!
So if this battle continues, we must win! "
