My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 104 The Giant Bird
The meaning of the text on this altar is probably this.

When King Chu Wei of the Warring States Period was on the throne, the Chu State sent a general named Zhuang Qi to lead an army to conquer the southwest and occupied a lot of land. However, at this time, the Qin State attacked the Chu State and seized the land in the western part of the Chu State, cutting off this Criticize the Chu army's retreat.

Seeing that there was no hope of returning home, Zhuang Qi established his country in Dian. After receiving the news that Qin had unified the world, he built an altar here to worship his ancestors in Chu.

This is right on.

Wang Shouren felt the 36 pictures left behind by an ancient Dian princess in his arms, which echoed the symbol of the strange giant bird under the memorial in front of him, and his expression was thoughtful.

The final undecided legal status of King Zhuang probably refers to King Zhuang of Chu in the Chu region, not Zhuang Qi——

Zhuang Qi, who established himself as king in Dian Kingdom, should be a descendant of King Zhuang of Chu.

The one that hit the spot.

But... seeing the altar in front of him, Wang Shouren figured out a lot of things.

The origin of the barbarian god in the southwest, and how Sijia reused the remaining destiny to build dragon veins in the southwest.

"Order someone to quickly print this inscription and send it to His Majesty."

"Tell some soldiers to put up a tent. I'll sleep here tonight. All the brothers in the imperial army who have troubled me will guard this thing with me."

……

Zhu Houcong came very quickly.

As soon as the Beijing army received the news, Zhu Houcong immediately flew over with his sword.

The speed of the sword is comparable to that of high-speed rail, so the mountains are no longer an obstacle.

Zhu Houcong even planned to teach the monkey version of sword control to the immortal cultivators in the Ming Dynasty during their Qi training period.

Combat power doesn't matter, the important thing is speed.

Able to spread news from various places to the capital as soon as possible.

You can also do some things like transmission notes.

Let Ming Dynasty enter the telegraph era ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, there would be drought, floods, and military disasters in the Ming Dynasty. By the time the court got the news and sent out manpower to support them, the day lilies would have been cold long ago.

"His Majesty--"

Seeing Zhu Houcong appear, the imperial soldiers who stayed near the altar immediately knelt down and saluted.

"You don't need to perform a full salute when you're wearing armor."

Zhu Houcong waved his hand, and a soft breeze blew, making the few forbidden soldiers in front of him unable to kneel down no matter how hard they tried.

Zhu Houcong looked at the land that had been cleaned up now. Even the grave pits on both sides had been carefully backfilled and compacted to make the land flat. This was done by Ye Jiuliu, Hu Zongxian and others to prevent the emperor from being moved by the situation and the misery of the people. Made with sadness.

Zhu Houcong glanced at it.

"Have the victims here been properly resettled?"

He looked at the sky-high resentment left behind by the tens of thousands of people who were sacrificed here, retracted his steps toward the altar, and asked.

"I have ordered people to set up porridge tents at various places on the official roads to help the fleeing people, but those who did not leave and escaped from the Luchuan barbarians have also been rescued by Wang Shangshu."

Zhu Houcong nodded.

Ye Jiuliu on the side looked respectful.

After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, he couldn't help but wonder if the emperor had seen something.

He quietly observed the expression of the emperor in front of him.

Thanks to the palace's careful training for more than ten years, Zhu Houcong, the only male in the palace and almost destined to be the palace's heir, is also top-notch in Qi-nurturing skills.

Zhu Houcong remained calm, his expression showing no emotion or anger.

"My order is to set up guard posts wherever the army comes from today. Wherever people are affected by bandits and cholera, and where people are dying, they will supply the army with food and spring crops according to the standards of the Han Dynasty. They will teach the art of farming and open up wasteland to collect food. , just in case something unexpected happens——”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Ye Jiuliu on the side shouted while lying on the ground.With this order, not only can the victims be resettled, but also the chieftain tribes controlled by local chiefs in the areas where most of the rebels passed through in the southwest can be transformed into guard posts directly controlled by the government.

In order to swallow the dragon energy, Silun Guang has begun to care about the life and death of the people below.

The destruction everywhere is shocking.

Those chieftains who were lucky enough to survive were already doing well if they had a mouthful of food to eat. If they didn't accept the imperial guard post, they could only wait to die where they were, and how could they dare to have any objections.

Even if he could support himself, if he lost his land and property on the way to escape, would his tribesmen and slaves be able to eat?When people are hungry and anxious, God knows what will happen.

It was only a matter of time before they actively abandoned the old chiefdoms and embraced the Ming Ting Guards.

Of course, if these chiefs could really solve the problem of feeding a large number of people under their command, Zhu Houcong would not bother to care about them.

After all, the Ming court's food supply was very limited. There was a food shortage every day in the capital. The court sent a notice to Zhili to transport food from the south quickly. Moreover, there were still wars in various places. Every little bit was saved.

As long as this policy can be maintained, the day when the Southwest will be pacified will be the day when the Ming Dynasty takes complete control of the Southwest.

The imperial court's power here will completely overwhelm the power of chieftains everywhere, and the Ming court's orders will be unequivocal here.

Moreover, because the essence of this order is relief, it is the imperial court's help to the chieftains across the southwest.

The purpose is not to deprive these chieftains of their land and property, but to appropriately allow these old chieftains who aspire to the Ming Dynasty to serve as official and part-time positions in the guards to appease the old people.

The resistance that Ming Ting would encounter was negligible.

It was the Silunjie rebels who killed the old chieftain, and it was also the Silunjie rebels who seized their land and people.

The reason why the Ming court did not return the land and population to the original chieftains after retaking it was because these chieftains could no longer maintain the basic operations of the chieftains after losing their property and feed the large population of the chieftains.

Therefore, the Ming court had no choice but to set up a guard station to appease the soldiers and civilians.

If the chieftain could continue to shoulder the responsibility of feeding this large group of people, Zhu Houcong would not mind saving some food for Ming Dynasty.

But is this possible... The destiny of the Homesick Sacrifice is really to eat people.

It is conceivable that after the establishment of the garrison in the southwest, the Ming court will obtain a large number of higher-quality soldiers compared to the already decayed garrison in the Han Dynasty.

"Quickly!"

Zhu Houcong said, stepping forward and coming to Wang Shouren's side, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this is the altar left by the Dian Kingdom established by the survivors of the Chu Kingdom that Sijia used."

While talking, Wang Shouren handed over a map made of unknown leather - 36 maps obtained from the southwest.

Zhu Houcong opened it and took a look, but found that it was not the expected treasure map, but more like a comic book.

It records the history of these remnants of the Chu State, how they arrived here, how they established their own country, and how sad and angry they were when they heard that Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and their homeland perished.

Later, Qin was replaced by Han. One second, they were singing and dancing and immersed in the joy of Qin's demise. The next second, Han soldiers had defeated the southwestern countries. The military front of Emperor Wu was already directed at these remnants of the old Chu.

Although Zhu Houcong felt it was not polite, he was still inexplicably happy.

But the last pattern of the 36 pictures is very interesting.

It was a giant bird that almost covered the sky and the sun——

Its eyes were like lightning, its claws were like iron, and it was staring straight at a certain direction on the ground.

Rise in the wind and travel a hundred thousand miles.

Below him are the majestic mountains, and above him are the clouds of the sky.

It's hunting -

Zhu Houcong suddenly realized this fact.

The food it hunts is the scarlet blood worms that are scurrying like a tide in the mountains below.

Southwest Barbarian God!
