Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 227 Preparations for Breaking the High Ground of Public Opinion
After Su Yuan heard the name "Sea Ghost Island" from Zhou Shu, he was very puzzled.

He usually studies various maps when he has nothing to do. He has never seen the logo of this island on the maps of the East China Sea.

But then he thought that it might be that the island was not included in the official map.

This kind of thing is very common in this era, and most countries do not have enough ability and time to explore all the islands in the nearby waters.

Naturally, there may be some inhabited islands, which are not recorded in official or private charts.

This sea ghost island is very mysterious, and Zhou Shu only knows one name.

Su Yuan asked Gu He to ask, but he had never heard of this place.

However, an elder from the Qingzhou sect provided some clues.

He said that he also heard a senior mention that there was an isolated island somewhere in the ocean, and an old man lived on it, called "Old Sea Ghost".

The strength of this sea ghost old man is very terrifying, and it is said that he has the level of a grand master.

But these are just rumors, no one has personally been to Sea Ghost Island, let alone seen any old Sea Ghost.

Su Yuan is quite concerned about this matter, he is a very curious person, and he is willing to ask the bottom of the matter if he is interested.

Especially since this matter is related to his revenge, we must pay more attention to it.

He asked Shen Lian to send news to the intelligence personnel in various places, and let them all pay attention to the matter about the sea ghost island and the old man sea ghost, and report back immediately if they have any information.

During this period, news of Qi Jiguang from Dongwo also came back.

He has led troops to suppress two rebellions so far.Although there are only two places, these two places are the most powerful and the most numerous in the rebellion.Everywhere there are thousands or more.

But this number and the Bei'an army will still be broken at the first touch, especially the rebels are all hot-blooded young people from the East. Facing the heavily armed Bei'an army, even if they shout "Long live" and shout their throats, they are still cannon fodder.

Qi Jiguang also did enough to suppress.

After he defeated the rebels, he would first recruit them to surrender, and let the captives understand the policy of the Bei'an Army. If it didn't work out, he would kill them all.

In his opinion, if these stubborn people are not eliminated, they will only cause trouble in the future and increase instability.

Su Yuan did not object to this.

Some people who believe in death just can’t be changed. They can’t be arrested and offered food and drink every day, begging them to abandon their darkness and turn to the light, right?
That's not Su Yuan, nor is it the style of the Bei'an Army.

The Bei'an Army will not engage in seven captures and seven releases, they will only capture once and then persuade them to surrender.If the other party is unwilling to surrender and shows a strong desire to fight, the Beian Army will execute them.

It is not Su Yuan's style to let the enemy go and cause trouble for his future self.

Qi Jiguang's side is progressing smoothly, and Shenqianle Reimu, who is the daimyo, is also busy.

After she chatted with Su Yuan that time, she knew that she was not a puppet, because Su Yuan would not treat people harshly.

Both of them hope that the people will get better and better, so Su Yuan's god Qianle Lingmeng is also working hard to help implement those policies that benefit the people.

With the implementation of her, a famous name with high prestige in the hearts of the people, the implementation of the new policy is getting faster and faster.

This made Su Yuan feel that it might not take as long as expected. In just one month, Dongwo would be completely stabilized.

only--

His good mood didn't last long.

Soon, he learned that the ships from Xifeng Kingdom appeared in the East China Sea, and they were heading towards Xiali.

After Lu Wuyou learned of this, he immediately came to the office to look for Su Yuan.

"My lord, do we want to give Xia Li a warning?" He said, "Xia Li also has a certain amount of trade with us now, if it is used as a warning, it can be temporarily suspended."

"No need." Su Yuan said, "We rejected him, and now it's normal for him to use other thighs."

"But... my lord, if we don't react at all, will it encourage Xifeng and Xiali's arrogance? After all, Xiali knows that we are now at war with Xifeng Kingdom."

As early as Su Yuan detained the ships of Xifeng's third fleet, and later executed some rebellious Xifeng prisoners, Xifeng Kingdom had officially declared war on Su Yuan and Bei'an.

It's just that since the declaration of war for so long, neither side has made any substantive actions.

There is no trade between the two sides, so there is no interruption.Moreover, both sides are very far away from each other's land, separated by the ocean, it is not easy to mobilize troops.

Su Yuan would not go to sea easily if he was not fully prepared. For Xifeng Kingdom, he suffered a big loss last time, and he would not take the risk of sending it by himself.

That's why it wants to form an alliance.

The meaning of this alliance is to bring more allies together, so that the chances of winning are greater.Even if it loses, everyone loses together, and it is nothing to share the loss among each country in the alliance.

Su Yuan knew these routines of overseas and western countries well. It's not that he didn't plan to do it, but he was just accumulating strength.

"Don't worry, worry-free, Xia Li won't be able to dance for long. When Dongwo is calmed down, the next step is to deal with them. Now, let them immerse themselves in the joy of finding a backer."

Lu Wuyou slowly laughed after hearing the words: "Hehe, my lord, when that day comes, Xia Li will definitely be even more desperate."

"The despair of the ruling class is the hope of the people at the bottom." Su Yuan said, "This is what we want in Bei'an, to make the rulers of every country feel fear and despair, and to make the common people happy and happy."

Lu Wuyou said: "What the prince said is very true. Speaking of it, there are businessmen from overseas and western countries who like our Bei'an policy very much. They wrote it in a book and said that they will take it back and publish it for the people of their country to read."

"This is a good thing." Su Yuan said, "The cultural field is also part of the war. If we can occupy the high ground of public opinion and have the right to speak, it will be easier for people in other countries to accept us."

This is a matter of course.

As the policy stabilizes and people's lives get better and better, of course literati will come out to sing their praises.

This phenomenon is not unique to the East, it is the same in the West.

If we can make the West yearn for the East from the cultural field, it can also lay the foundation for future marches into the West.

In fact, this aspect has already been carried out subtly.

For example, the tea, pottery, jade ware sold to Western countries through the Saxon country in Bei’an, etc., will give Westerners a sense of the East.

When this cognition gets stronger, when the Beian Army arrives in the future, the resistance they will encounter will be less.

Of course, in the final analysis, strength is the last word.

Without sufficient military power, hard power is not enough, and soft power is useless no matter how strong it is.

……

Shenshui City.

Tang Tiansheng and his party of hundreds of people came here from Tangjiabao.

This usually bustling city is now silent.

After receiving the notice from Tangjiabao, the people knew that the Tang Sect was going to "do business" in the city, so they all went home early, closed the door, and waited for the day to pass.

Tang Tiansheng walked in the front with a heavy expression, followed by several elders and many inner disciples.

Tang Ziyu was also among the crowd. She held a mechanism crossbow in her hand and scanned her surroundings with fiery eyes.

Several elders were talking in low voices as they walked.

"There's something wrong with this."

"Then Jiayi is so powerful? Not to mention killing Tang Hu and others by himself, can he also kill Tang Lin's men?"

"Hard to say……"

"What are you old fellows worried about? The Castle Master has brought..."

Several elders looked at a cylinder-shaped object protruding from under the long gown at Tang Tiansheng's waist at the same time, and their eyes became a little eager.

They knew that it was the most treasured peacock feather of the Tang Sect.

In the hands of people who don't know martial arts, that thing can exert great power and kill people with high martial arts skills.And in the hands of a master, the power is even greater.

In the hands of a great master like Tang Tiansheng... I am afraid that even a great master of the same level, if he is not careful, he will die instantly.

Compared with the elders, Tang Tiansheng's mind was heavier.

He could vaguely guess what at this moment.

A sent back Tang Hu's head, first to anger the Tang family, and second to tell him Tang Tiansheng that Tang Ming might still be alive.If you want his life, come and save him yourself.

But the problem is...

Tang Tiansheng sighed faintly in his heart, and there was a speculation that he didn't want to believe circling in his heart.

When a group of people came to the teahouse where the incident happened, the teahouse was closed, but there were a few large characters written in blood on the door panel:

"If you want people from the Tang Sect to survive, then come to the western suburbs."

Western suburbs!

"Castle Master, there is a dense forest in the western suburbs, Najia must be in ambush!"

"So what? There are so many of us, and the Castle Master has brought... don't be afraid!"

"It makes sense, then when A chooses the western suburbs, maybe he wants to negotiate with us. If the negotiation fails, he can also use the dense forest to escape."

The elders had different opinions, Tang Tiansheng made a final decision: "Go."

He had to go, since he decided to leave Tangjiabao, he had already fallen into Jiayi's trap, and he knew it well.

But he knew it was a trap, so he had no choice but to enter.One is for Tang Ming, the other is for Tang Lin...or both are for the future of Tang Sect.

He would not take the lives of so many people as a trifle, for this reason, even if he stepped into a trap, he had prepared enough means to break the situation.

This is why he carries peacock feathers.

The large troops rushed to the western suburbs.

At this moment, in the dense forest in the western suburbs, a large number of people were ambushing in the woods, and a positional crossbow was placed in front of everyone.

Tang Lin and Jiayi are here, waiting for Tang Tiansheng to come.

The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere was not particularly harmonious.

This is the result of what Tang Ming said earlier.

Tang Lin hadn't considered the matter of the Bei'an Army at all before, but after Tang Ming mentioned it, he suddenly realized it.

Bei'an Army and Jia Yi have a grudge, if the news that he, Tang Lin, and Jia Yi joined hands, attracts hostility from the Bei'an Army, then...

"Could it be that Brother Tang is afraid of the Bei'an Army?" Jia Yi suddenly asked.

Tang Lin snorted: "Afraid? Why should I be afraid!"

"I'm not afraid why Brother Tang didn't say a word." A said, "Please rest assured, Brother Tang. After the cooperation between you and me is over, we will part ways."

"So, you won't tell what happened between you and me?"

"Hehe, didn't Brother Tang say he wasn't afraid of the Bei'an Army?"

"You came!"
