Chapter 682
Under Heaven! All Land Belongs to the King
"Miyamoto Musashi! I should thank you. Your life's cultivation has been sealed within the Martial Saint Gate by my Ancient Desolation Seal."
"In the time that follows, I only need to refine and absorb your cultivation, and you will have enough life potential to break through to the high-level Sword Saint!"
Chen Jie looked up at the east and muttered to himself calmly.
He looked at the corpse of Miyamoto Musashi, whose head he had severed with a single sword stroke, now completely dead.
at this time,
He could clearly feel a powerful life force around him disappearing with the wind.
Legend has it that when one cultivates to a certain level in the Refining God Realm, one can gather the remaining divine thoughts of oneself and form a remnant soul.
Under special circumstances, remnant souls can reunite and condense into Yin spirits!
but,
As Chen Jie beheaded Miyamoto Musashi with a single sword stroke, he dispelled the lingering resentment around him.
Even if Miyamoto Musashi possessed extraordinary abilities, he was completely dead.
boom!
Chen Jie slowly concealed the aura of the Martial Saint Sect and let it disappear into his mind.
Next,
Several figures could be seen rushing towards them from afar.
Jian Wuming, Cao Shaoqing, Kou Yin, and others arrived one after another.
They were shocked when they saw Chen Jie.
Because everyone saw the body of Miyamoto Musashi lying on the reef, his head severed by Chen Jie.
this moment,
Everyone around was stunned and completely dumbfounded.
After a long pause, Jian Wuming's throat felt as if something was blocking it, and he asked dryly:
"Your Highness! This is—Miyamoto Musashi's corpse? Could it be—he's dead!?"
Chen Jie nodded and said calmly:
"That's right! From this day forward, there will be no more Miyamoto Musashi in the world!"
"He's dead. Just now, I killed him!"
"In addition, your Kunlun Sword Sect's traitor 'Bitter Saint' Du Shixing also died by my sword!"
-
After killing Miyamoto Musashi.
The spiritual pillar of the Japanese Kwantung Army collapsed instantly.
In the following period, Ximentang decisively defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Within three days, the entire Korean Peninsula was completely controlled by Ximentang.
All the generals of the Kwantung Army bowed their heads and submitted.
Chen Jie ordered Yan Kuangtu to carry out the "immediate execution" and conduct an investigation of all prisoners of war from the Kwantung Army.
Any Japanese soldier or general who committed any serious crime would be executed without exception.
Those Japanese soldiers who had not committed serious crimes were all sent to various places to work in mines.
The major mining areas of Ximentang are currently experiencing a severe shortage of miners.
The capture of these Japanese Kwantung Army prisoners alleviated the manpower shortage in the major mining areas.
in addition,
Building bridges, railways, and other infrastructure projects in the Great Qian Dynasty all required a large amount of manpower.
The most urgent task was to conscript manpower from the Korean Peninsula and the Eastern Empire.
of course,
Chen Jie did not exploit the people in various places. He had Simon Tang pay the wages of the lower-class Japanese people who were willing to work in the mining areas.
Everyone gets what they need, and everyone is happy.
As long as Ximen Tang's army blocks the strait.
The Korean Peninsula and the Eastern Empire alone were simply not large enough for development.
Emperor Meiji of the Eastern Empire, knowing he was powerless to reverse the situation after Miyamoto Musashi's death, committed suicide in despair!
Within a month, Simon's army occupied the Eastern Empire.
but,
Although Ximen Tang's army occupied the Eastern Empire and defeated the Eastern Empire's most powerful army.
but,
This does not mean that the internal rebellion within the Eastern Empire has been completely quelled.
Because there were many die-hards within the Kwantung Army, even though the Japanese army and navy had been annihilated by Nishimondo.
However, there are still many rebellious forces that hold the advantage of the homeland.
Some became wandering samurai on small islands in various places, while others lived in villages throughout the Eastern Empire.
The number of people who rebelled was not large.
However, they were scattered and posed a considerable threat to the Ximentang army stationed throughout the entire Eastern Empire.
at this time,
The weakness of insufficient troops stationed in the Eastern Empire was also exposed.
The constant emergence of scattered rebel forces left Simon Tang feeling quite helpless.
Fortunately, Princess Kaoru Umemiya of the Eastern Empire returned to the East.
With Chen Jie's support, she established the Dongyang Security Team and recruited soldiers on a large scale.
All the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese security forces were under the control of Ximentang.
Therefore,
The sole purpose of establishing the Japanese Security Force was to quell the rebellion.
In less than half a month, with the support of Ximentang, the Japanese security forces began to split up and spread to various parts of the Japanese Empire to quell the rebellion.
have to say,
The strategy of using Japanese people to control Japanese people was very effective.
In less than two months, the rebellion within the Eastern Empire was completely quelled.
Even the Japanese rebels who hid in villages were all annihilated.
After the rebellion within the Eastern Empire was quelled, Simon established the largest military base in the Eastern Empire.
Furthermore, the Third Fleet of the Ximengtang was stationed on Ryukyu Island near the Eastern Empire, thus cutting off the Eastern Empire's vital sea lanes.
That is,
Any industrial and military development in the Eastern Empire will be under the supervision of Simon.
Chen Jie was finally relieved after Simon Tang took over East Asia and stabilized the situation.
at this time,
The conflict between the northeastern border and the steppes, and between Russia and the north, has officially begun.
The Great Qian Dynasty marched north, and its powerful tank legions began to unleash their power, sweeping across the land.
In less than three months, Ximentang won a major victory and routed Guan Qilin's army on the grasslands.
Then,
Ximentang won the great battle against Northern Russia, recovered Nibu, and pushed the northern border of the Daqian Dynasty forward.
Might makes right!
Simon's army marched all the way to Lake Baikal before halting its expansion.
no way,
Winter is here, so we must keep things on track.
For Chen Jie, all of this is far from enough.
Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king!
The Great Qian Dynasty should take this opportunity to expand its territory as much as possible.
The abundant underground resources are an indispensable foundation for development.
We must acquire the most expansive land for future major development.
The primary objective of territorial warfare is not to conquer territory, but rather to seize various resources after occupation.
East Asia, Southeast Asia and other regions have already been taken over by Simon.
Next,
The sword of the Great Qian Dynasty was aimed directly at the northern continent.
From a geopolitical perspective, the north of the Great Qian Dynasty has always been a threat.
Since they share a land border, an imbalance in strategic power between the two sides could trigger war and reignite the conflict.
The threat of war to the Daqian Dynasty mainly came from three places.
East Asia, west, north!
With the threat from East Asia eliminated by Simon, the next target is the North.
After all, Northern Russia's industrial development was more advanced than that of the Great Qian Dynasty, and its military strength was much greater.
Therefore, Northern Russia has always coveted the Great Qian Dynasty and has always wanted to occupy its vast territory.
Ximentang has now extended the strategic depth of the Daqian Dynasty.
therefore,
We must concentrate our forces to completely take over the north and eliminate future threats.
Hit a punch, lest a hundred punches come!
While the Great Qian Dynasty is strong and well-equipped, we must wage war to ensure that we will not suffer from war again for the next two hundred years.
but,
Since its establishment three years ago, Ximentang has been continuously increasing its troops.
Although Simon established an industrial base and acquired a large amount of money.
but,
As the war progressed, it consumed a great deal of resources.
Moreover, the resources in the occupied areas have not yet been monetized.
Once the war machine is in motion, silver dollars alone cannot solve the problem. Clothing, food, weapons, and other supplies are all consumables of war.
After defeating the Russian army in the north, Ximentang turned his attention to retaking the Western Regions and Tibet.
Through continuous campaigns, Ximentang has achieved great victories. For at least the next ten years, the Great Qian Dynasty will maintain a stable development.
therefore,
Chen Jie decisively ordered a period of rest and recuperation, and a halt to military expansion.
We must take advantage of this lull to vigorously develop our military and economy.
After all, war and expansion require a strong economy as support, and a highly developed dynasty must be established to provide the foundation for military expansion.
at this time,
As the Great Qian Dynasty entered a period of rapid economic development, the seeds of its future global conquests were sown.
In the fifth year of the new calendar of the Daqian Dynasty, the ambassador from Northern Russia came to the capital of Daqian to negotiate peace with the Daqian Dynasty.
but,
At this time, the gap in strength between the Daqian Dynasty and Northern Russia was widening.
This peace talk ended without any results.
People from within the Daqian Dynasty began to migrate north, taking advantage of the regional resources of the Northeast to attract people from the south of the Daqian Dynasty.
In the seventh year of the new calendar of the Daqian Dynasty, the Ministry of War began preparations for the northern expedition!
One year later.
The Ministry of War of the Great Qian Dynasty mobilized 500,000 troops to launch the Northern Expedition, crossing the Greater Khingan Mountains and sweeping across northern Russia.
This time,
The Daqian army expanded all the way to Moscow.
In November of the same year, the decisive battle between the Daqian Dynasty and Northern Russia officially began.
In Moscow, the two armies engaged in their largest and most decisive battle.
After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the Russian army was completely defeated by Simon, and the tank corps captured Moscow.
In the ninth year of the new calendar of the Daqian Dynasty, the Daqian Dynasty once again sent troops to advance into Europe.
Faced with the overwhelming military might of Simon, the European coalition forces, numbering 300,000, were completely annihilated within half a month.
So far,
The entire Eurasian continent was under the control of the Great Qian Dynasty.
A decade of military expansion has come to a temporary halt.
Next,
The Great Qian Dynasty began to focus its main efforts on economic and military development.
Furthermore, the economic and military development of Eurasia was firmly controlled by Simon.
The entire Eurasian continent adopted a garrison system, disarming all Eurasian countries and placing the garrison under the responsibility of the Great Qian Dynasty.
As long as the military construction of Eurasia is disrupted, the security of all troops stationed in the Great Qian Dynasty will be the responsibility of the garrison.
Then,
As the technological gap in military weaponry widens, the deterrent power of the Daqian Dynasty's garrison will become increasingly solid.
However, Eurasia was not Chen Jie's ultimate goal.
After the Great Qian Dynasty completely controlled Eurasia, it turned its attention to the Western Hemisphere.
The tenth year of the new calendar of the Daqian Dynasty.
Xi Men Tang's naval commander, Deng Yonghe, formally requested Prince Qian, Chen Jie, to set sail for the western expedition.
During this period, Deng Yonghe had been preparing for the conquest of the Western Ocean.
Ximentang has already built eighteen fleets, and all kinds of supplies are very well prepared.
Moreover, the 18th Fleet was strong and well-equipped, and had recruited a large number of naval personnel.
Many of them have experience in ocean voyages. The 18th Fleet has undergone the most rigorous training and is equipped with the most advanced heavy artillery.
For this voyage, Deng Yonghe plans to personally lead the eight fleets on the expedition.
Each fleet was equipped with one battleship, eight destroyers, sixteen Storm-class fast attack craft, and sixteen armored gunboats.
One fleet is almost equivalent to the military power of a medium-sized country.
Moreover, almost all large ships are equipped with advanced diesel engines.
Simon's shipbuilding technology has been developing for over a decade.
Chen Jie continuously transferred ship technology from the 'Urban World' to this location.
Therefore, in terms of ship technology, Siemens' ship technology is far ahead of the rest of the world.
Furthermore, Simon's aircraft manufacturing technology has been leading the world for decades, and it has produced the first batch of air force fighter jets.
Not only that,
The Great Qian Dynasty was far ahead of the world in various metal smelting technologies, industrial reforms, communication technologies, and so on.
All kinds of advanced technologies are firmly controlled by Simon.
Deng Yonghe had absolute confidence in the fleet for this long-distance expedition to the Western Hemisphere.
The captains of his eight fleets were all very well prepared for the upcoming campaign.
April 5th is Qingming Festival.
Deng Yonghe led the fleet and officially set sail from Huangpu Port in Songjiang Prefecture.
This time,
Chen Jie did not give them a grand send-off.
He led his personal guards and the leaders of several army corps to see off Deng Yonghe's expeditionary force at the Huangpu Wharf.
Moreover, everyone changed into casual clothes and behaved very discreetly.
This expedition represents the expansion of territory; if successful, it will be remembered in history.
Chen Jie said to Deng Yonghe, "Be careful on your journey. I'll be waiting for your triumphant return in the capital."
Deng Yonghe knelt on one knee and kowtowed to Chen Jie, saying:
"My lord, rest assured, I will definitely lead the army and conquer South America and North America!"
"I will raise the battle flag of the Great Qian Dynasty on the lands of South and North America, so that it will never fall."
Chen Jie waved his hand and took a deep breath, saying:
Go! We're all waiting for you to come back!
Beep beep—beep beep—!
As the ship's engines roared to life.
Deng Yonghe and his generals turned and boarded the ship.
The eight fleets were divided into four columns and embarked on their long-distance voyage.
Chen Jie stood on the dock, watching the fleet sail away, slowly heading out to sea towards the rising sun.
As the last ship left the dock, Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He was filled with emotion and muttered to himself, "In the time to come, I want to see the Great Qian Dynasty become the global hegemon."
"My lord! My lord!"
A bodyguard rushed to Chen Jie's side, panting, and said:
"It's terrible, my lord! The Third Young Master is fighting with someone on the beach in Songjiang Prefecture!"
Chen Jie was taken aback upon hearing this, then flew into a rage:
"Why does this brat love fighting so much?"
"Just wait until I get back, I'll teach him a lesson!"
finished,
He had lost all interest in Ximentang's army's campaign in the West and turned to head towards the beach in Songjiang Prefecture.
As soon as we reached the edge of the beach, a little girl called out in her childish voice, "Daddy!"
A little girl of about ten years old, with pigtails, looked like a porcelain doll; she was none other than Chen Huan'er, the apple of her eye.
Chen Jie stepped forward, grabbed Chen Huan'er's small hand, and asked:
"Where's your brother? Who did he get into a fight with this time? Is that brat asking for trouble?"
Did he win or lose?
Chen Huan'er laughed upon hearing this and said in a crisp voice, "My third brother just told me that we must not tell Father, because he said that your presence always affects his performance."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie was immediately enraged.
"That brat, I'll make him eat some stir-fried pork with chili peppers later."
finished,
He was preparing to confront his third son, Chen Yang.
Just then, laughter came from behind:
"Why are you angry with Chen Yang again? What did that brat do to you this time?"
The speaker had elegant makeup and a graceful demeanor.
"Aunt Lingyue!"
Upon seeing the woman, Chen Huan'er exclaimed with delight.
Chen Jie stepped forward, took Li Lingyue's hand, and said with a smile, "That kid Chen Yang is just like his father; he actually went to get into a fight."
"Let's go see who they're fighting with."
When we arrived at the beach, we saw two little boys wrestling and rolling around together from afar.
They looked remarkably alike, and neither of them would yield to the other.
Chen Jie was completely dumbfounded when he saw it.
"You two brats, stop right now! Zhan'er, when did you come to Daqian?"
"Where's your mother? Why didn't she tell me she was coming from Japan?"
He quickly stepped forward and separated the two little boys.
The smaller boy was being beaten by Chen Yang, and he looked resentful.
He had a resolute face and bore a 60% resemblance to Chen Jie.
"father!"
Upon seeing Chen Jie, the little boy excitedly hugged his neck and exclaimed with delight, "Teach me martial arts! I can't beat him!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes widened, and he stepped forward, saying, "Kid, who are you calling 'dad'? This is my dad!"
Chen Jie snapped, "Alright! Chen Yang, listen to me carefully, this is your younger brother, Chen Zhan!"
