Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 209 God Stone, Big Stick Carrot

Early the next morning, Su Yuan went on to preside over the excavation work.

Thousands of people continued to dig down along the entrance of the cave. In order not to delay the up and down, they also built a series of steps on the side.Su Yuan was standing on the steps at the moment.

He looked down at the inside of the snake cave. It was not bottomless yesterday, but today, as the excavation progress increases, he can already vaguely see the bottom.

I can see that there is a group of shiny things underneath, but I don't know what it is.And the headless body of Yamata no Orochi was coiled around the shiny thing at this moment.

The warriors in charge of the excavation saw the big snake below, and their movements became a little slow, for fear that the headless big snake would attack suddenly.

Su Yuan was not worried. He estimated that this guy was already on the verge of death, and it was not certain whether he could move or not.His head was cut off before, and he tried his best to escape, which was already the limit.

"Commander, why don't I use C4 to blow it up again?" Tan Ya asked.A day passed, and her C4 bomb had refreshed a new one.

When Su Yuan heard this, he said yes, and asked everyone to back away.Tan Ya threw the bomb down, and then there was a "bang" explosion, and everyone felt the soles of their feet tremble a few times.

Those Eastern Japanese warriors were all terrified. They didn't know what kind of terrifying weapon the Bei'an Army had. It was really terrifying in terms of power.

If there were still a small number of people who had a fluke mentality and a rebellious mentality in their hearts before, they almost gave up after witnessing the power of this bomb.

"Master, that big snake's body was blown up and bleeding." Mei Jian glanced into the cave.

When Su Yuan saw that the big snake was blown to the point of spurting blood and still didn't move, it probably confirmed his conjecture that this guy had no fighting power.

"Keep digging, the big snake is dead!"

The samurai saw that the big snake was indeed bombed and did not move, the fear in their hearts receded, and they continued to dig.

After digging for more than half an hour, they finally reached the bottom, and the snake's body was almost as tall as the warriors.

Shen Qianle Lingmeng in the crowd couldn't help but look up. This distance was very high from the ground, but it wasn't too far away.

For hundreds of years, their Shenqianle clan has always believed that this snake cave is a terrible bottomless pit with no end.However, I didn't know until I dug. It took less than two days to dig to the bottom.

Su Yuan was staring at the big snake, to be precise, at the shiny thing on its body.

It looks like a crystal, the size of a fist, and the whole body exudes a light orange light. Just looking at it makes people feel refreshed.

Could it be some treasure?Orochi can recover and it has something to do with it?
Su Yuan thought in his heart, let a master of the rivers and lakes who excelled in lightness kungfu go and take down the crystal.

The master of the rivers and lakes jumped up, jumped on the big snake, flicked the long whip in his hand, the tail of the whip hooked the crystal, pulled his wrist hard, and the crystal flew down immediately.

At this time, the big snake's headless body suddenly trembled.

Everyone thought it was about to attack again, and immediately took precautions.

Unexpectedly, after the body trembled a few times, it stopped moving completely, exuding a strong stench... It can be seen with the naked eye that his body is rapidly decaying and deteriorating...

"This should be completely dead, right?" Su Yuan saw the change of the big snake and asked Shen Qianle Lingmeng.

The latter was a little stunned, and it took a few seconds before he came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "Mmm..."

"Let's go up first. Let these warriors carry the big snake's body up."

"Ah?" Lan Jian was a little puzzled when he heard the words, "Master, this guy is dead, why carry him up?"

"We know that we are dead, don't the people of Nai Jing not know. Let them know that we killed the monster, and they will be grateful to us and afraid of us."

Su Yuan didn't hide anything, and revealed his thoughts in front of everyone.

Indeed, it is not convincing enough to prevent the common people from seeing the big snake's corpse and just say to kill it.

Only when they see the corpse with their own eyes, will the common people understand how terrifying this monster is, and the Bei'an army that can kill this monster is even more terrifying.

Su Yuan asked Li Yuanba to hold the crystal first, and the group returned to the ground along the stairs.

As for the tiring work of carrying the big snake's corpse, it was naturally left to the coolies of the shogunate samurai.

As soon as he got back to the top, Su Yuan asked Li Yuanba: "Yuanba, how do you feel holding this crystal?"

It took less than half an hour from bottom to top, Li Yuanba kept holding the crystal, nodded at this moment and said: "I feel, I feel that I have great strength!"

really……

When Su Yuan saw this thing, he guessed it must be a treasure.

At present, its efficacy seems to be that one may increase physical fitness, and the other is that it can repair the damage suffered by the biological body.

The so-called "resurrection" of Yamata no Orochi is only because of the special effect of this crystal.

The fellow Jianghu masters were all very excited when they saw the crystal in Li Yuanba's hands.

"It must be a good treasure!"

"I heard that someone got a thousand-year-old ice lotus hundreds of years ago, and within a few days after swallowing it through alchemy, his skill increased for a hundred years! Isn't this thing also that kind of treasure?"

"I think this is stronger than the thousand-year-old ice lotus! Don't forget that it can heal wounds! The beast's head is gone, and it can survive by sticking to it."

"It is!"

The masters of the rivers and lakes are very jealous, but none of them will have the idea of ​​coveting.

They all understood that if this thing appeared in the rivers and lakes, it would definitely cause a bloodbath.But in Su Yuan's hands... It is estimated that no one with a bad brain would dare to snatch it.

Su Yuan looked at the crystal and was also very curious.

But he didn't touch it hastily. Unlike Li Yuanba and others, he only had internal strength and no martial arts, so it would be fine if something went wrong.

Moreover, as a modern traveler, he was still a little worried that this thing might be some special ore, and its effect was also brought about by radiation.

This kind of radiation might have side effects, and he didn't plan to touch it by himself until he figured it out.

"Is there any record of this thing in your clan?"

Su Yuan asked Shenqianle Lingmeng, the latter was born from the Shenqianle clan as a priestess clan for hundreds of years, so he must know more about these mysterious things than ordinary people.

However, Shenqianle Lingmeng was in a daze again and did not hear Su Yuan's question.She has been in a daze several times today, and she only lost her mind after someone yelled at her.

"what?"

"... Forget it, let's talk about it when we go back."

Carrying the crystal back to the Daming Palace, more and more people in Naijing along the way.

After Qi Jiguang ended the military status in the city, the production and life of the people have initially resumed.It may not be so fast to fully recover, after all, there is still a huge question lingering in the hearts of the people in Naijing.

That's where will Dongwa go?

Su Yuan's decision to make Dongwo a vassal state of Bei'an has not been fully disclosed, he just talked to the god Qianle Lingmeng.

As for the latter, since he was asked yesterday if he would like to become a daimyo, he has been preoccupied.

After Su Yuan asked yesterday, her first reaction was shock, and then she wanted to refuse.

She became famous?How can...

Dongwa has never had a female daimyo. Besides, she doesn't know much about state affairs, and she hasn't received training as a ruler. How can she be competent?

But Su Yuan told her at the time, don't rush to reply, think carefully.

Throughout the night, Shenqianle Lingmeng tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about this question.

To this day, she who witnessed the death of the big snake is deeply moved.

For so many years, neither the Shenqianle clan nor the Naikyong shogunate had thought of digging through the snake's hole and killing Yamata no Orochi completely.

what is this?If hundreds of years ago, everyone had sent a large number of people to dig like what Su Yuan did, then the big snake might have died long ago, and there would be no such thing as today.

The descendants of Orochi will no longer dream of resurrecting their ancestors, and their Shenqianle clan will not be almost wiped out because of this incident, and she is the only one who survives.

In this matter, she was deeply impressed by Su Yuan's courage and persistence.He also finally understood that Dongwa became a subsidiary state of Bei'an, which cannot be changed.

In that way, if she is a daimyo, will she be able to better protect the rights and interests of the Eastern Japanese?
If it was changed to another daimyo who didn't value the rights and interests of the people of Eastern Japan, then for the people, it would be better for her to be this daimyo.

Shenqianle Lingmeng thought all the way, and when he returned to the Daming Palace, he had already made a decision.

She finally said to Su Yuan: "I am willing to accept the proposal and become Dongwa's new daimyo!"

Seeing that her delicate face was full of determination, Su Yuan knew that she had thought it through clearly, so he nodded and said, "That's good."

Shenqianle Lingmeng was willing to be a daimyo, which would save Su Yuan a lot of trouble.

He wants to turn Dongwa into a vassal state of Bei'an, but it doesn't mean that he wants to destroy all the culture of Dongwa, and the position of daimyo will not be abolished either.

It's just that the power held by this person will definitely shrink greatly compared to before.

What really needs to be abolished is the shogunate.

The shogunate is the real leader of the Eastern Japanese army. To abolish the shogunate and not allow the eastern Japanese to form samurai and ashigaru regiments by themselves is the most fatal blow.

In this way, when all the military force was provided by the Bei'an Army, Dongwa could no longer stir up any troubles.What's more, the candidates for daimyo will only be appointed by Bei'an from now on.

It's not enough to say it's a puppet, but ambitious people will definitely not be able to sit in this position anymore.

Afterwards, Su Yuan asked Shenqianle Lingmeng again, asking if she knew the record about the crystal.

Shenqianle Lingmeng thought hard for a long time, looked through the library in the Daming Palace, and finally found a record.

The record is that more than 200 years ago, a storyteller traveled all over Eastern Japan, collected folk stories, and finally gathered them into a collection of folk stories, similar to Fangwuzhi.

In this collection of stories, there is a story that the storyteller heard from an old man in a village in a big mountain.

The old man said that many years ago, there was a child in the village who picked up a shiny stone and couldn't put it down.Later, the child went to the river to play for fun, but accidentally drowned.

When the child's family buried him, they couldn't afford a coffin, so they just wrapped the child's body in a straw mat and put the glowing stone in the straw mat.

A few days later, the family was eating when suddenly the child ran back... The whole family was frightened, and then the whole village was shocked by the child's resurrection from the dead.

Some people speculated that the luminous stone picked up by the child was a sacred stone. For this reason, many people in the village fought for the stone and fought violently, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

Later, the sacred stone disappeared. It is said that a villager snatched it, and later sold it to a big man in Naijing, and became a rich man.

The description of the sacred stone in the story is "concentric in size, warm and glowing with calendula".

This description is very similar to Su Yuan getting this crystal.

"Could it be that this crystal is the 'God Stone' in this record?"

"...the world is full of wonders, and it is a blessing for Lord Su to obtain this treasure." Shen Qianle Lingmeng said.

Su Yuan nodded, he remembered Zhen Miao.

Grand Master, she has a wide range of experience, if she has a chance in the future, let her take a look, and she should know what it is.

……

The next day.

Thousands of people worked hard all night, lifting the body of Yamata no Orochi from the ground, and then paraded and displayed it along the street.

Su Yuan also specially asked someone to find a big shelf, put the big snake's body on it, and a group of people carried it on the street.

It's not enough to just walk, but we have to beat gongs and drums so that every commoner can hear and know what happened.

For a time, almost all the people in the city went out to watch, and the whole street was completely surrounded.Everyone wants to see what Yamata no Orochi looks like.

This has been passed down from word to mouth in East Japan. Adults scare children, and children become adults and then scare their own children... It has scared countless generations of monsters. At this moment, the corpse is placed on a shelf for people to watch.

Koizumi's family was also in the crowd. The children looked at the huge body with fear, but couldn't help but look at it.

Even as an adult, Koizumi Erlang was also scared and shocked.

It was the first time he had seen such a huge giant snake, and it was a monster that had been running through the legends of the Eastern Japanese.

What shocked him was that the Bei'an army actually killed this monster!Displaying it publicly now is undoubtedly a way of showing strength.

A wise person in the crowd sighed: "Oh, the Bei'an Army... In this way, no one in Naijing will dare to resist, and no one will resist..."

The Bei'an Army first hunted down all the shoguns, and now they killed Yamata no Orochi. The "big stick" aspect has been displayed to the extreme.

The "radish" paired with the big stick is also very delicious.

With yesterday's announcement, many new policies were announced today.Many of them surprised the people of Naiking.

In particular, policies such as free distribution of arable land and exemption from most tax burdens almost immediately made the people, mainly the poor, support the Bei'an Army.

For these people, there is really no such thing as "patriotism".All that Dongwa brings them is pain and labor, without any benefit at all. What's so cute about it?
The only ones who really gritted their teeth and hated the Bei'an Army were the rich and powerful.They were robbed of their wealth by the Bei'an Army, and all they wanted was to unite with the people to overthrow them.

Some of them wanted to escape, but the city gate of Naijing had long been controlled by the Bei'an army. They could escape, but their wealth could not be transported out.

Some people wanted to provoke the people at the bottom, but no one responded, and some were reported to the Bei'an Army by the people, and they were arrested directly.

These people couldn't understand the reason at all, but Su Yuan understood it very well after hearing it.

He heard that someone spread rumors, saying that the Bei'an Army transported all the precious treasures in the Daming Mansion back to the capital.

The rumormongers undoubtedly wanted to stoke public outrage, but in reality there was little reaction from the public.

The reason is simple, the treasures in the Daming Palace, whether the Bei'an Army takes them or not, have nothing to do with the common people at the bottom.

Could it be that these treasures will fall into the hands of the common people if the Bei'an Army doesn't take them?Don't talk about falling, I'm afraid it's hard for them to take a look.That's why they don't care who these treasures belong to.

They only care about real interests, such as the new policy announced by the Bei'an Army.Su Yuan knew very well that as long as he grasped this key point, Dongwo would soon stabilize.

The Bei'an Army did not need to fight any security warfare like some invaders did.
