Chapter 259: The Re-rise of the Mingyue Empire

Qingyun Plateau, the lord's mansion in the city of Menghu City.

"Geeh..." Amid the crisp and tender laughter, a toddler who looked just over one year old was learning to walk. The toddler was dressed in pink, with his little arms and legs like lotus roots. The tenderness was as tender as possible. His little appearance was really loved by everyone.

Zhao Qinghan, who was standing a few steps ahead, loved her so much.

"Mom, mom..." The child called out the not-so-smooth monosyllable, stretched out his pink arms, and walked step by step towards Zhao Qinghan, who also had his arms wide open. Zhao Qinghan kept clapping and encouragement. The child finally walked to the mother's face, and then threw himself into his warm arms.

"Xiaohu is so good, Xiaohu is so powerful, Xiaohu can walk, oh..."

Zhao Qinghan's fragrant kiss fell on the pink little face of the child like raindrops, and she was happy, but her beautiful eyes were clearly filled with tears. The cruel man had been away for two years, and there was no news in the past two years. When he was just a few months away, there was news that he was caught by the old guy Shi Miyuan and was taken to the Imperial Arena to become a gladiator, which made her worried for a while. But fortunately, I heard that he had run away again, and I don't know how he is doing in the Great Wilderness now?

Why can't this cruel man send someone to send some messages back? Could it be that the beauties and wild female savages on the Great Wilderness can't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north? Or does he want us mother and son? He even abandoned the Tiger Legion, which left him on the Qingyun Plateau? This unfaithful man must bite him to death when he comes back...

When Zhao Qinghan was thinking a lot, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind him. When he looked back, he saw that it was the military advisor.

Qi Diaozi is much older than two years ago. He is just in his early forties. He looks a little like an old man in his sixties. He is also dark and thin, with a hunched back and a dusty face. He seems to have walked a lot of roads now, and his face and forehead are covered with sweat.

Speaking of which, over the past two years, the military advisor has worked so hard.

If it weren't for the military advisor, the Tiger Legion would have been difficult to gain a foothold in the Qingyun Plateau, not to mention the current situation. If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, you would blame Qiu Yutang, who was the prince of the country, but she actually served as the governor of Qingzhou. Not only did she immigrate to Qingzhou in large numbers from surrounding Zhuo, Zhong, Yunzhou, and Yunzhou, but also re-enlisted and trained a very brave and warlike Qingzhou army based on the two divisions of the Guard Legion.

The military advisor was wise and cautious enough. Shidun and Shanbao gradually grew up and became generals who could stand alone. However, compared with Qiu Yutang's cunning evil woman and the fierce and war-friendly generals under her, the Tiger Legion's strength was too weak.

Since Meng Hu left, the Tiger Legion seemed to have lost its backbone at once. From an invincible army that was invincible and invincible, it suddenly became a defensive army that could only defend but could not attack. The only thing that is thankful is that the Qingyun Plateau is dangerous and relatively barren. Otherwise, it would be difficult to resist the attack of the Qingzhou Army.

Qi Diaozi wiped the sweat from his forehead and gasped, "Madam, there is...news."

"What, is there any news?" Zhao Qinghan's pink face immediately surged with excitement and asked anxiously, "Is it the news from the Great Wilderness, is it the news from Hu Zi?"

"Yes." Qi Diaozi focused his head, and after he made up his mind, he continued, "Just just passed the news from our detailed work lurking in Xiling. Just three months ago, the general led an army of 20,000 barbarians to attack the eastern prairie of the Galaxy Empire, and even Qin Shan, the eastern prince of the Galaxy Empire, became the general's captive."

"Thank you for the kind Goddess of Light." Zhao Qinghan clasped his hands with excitement and made a prayer ceremony to the sky. After half a stick of incense, he said to Qi Diaozi, "Military advisor, is there any other news?"

"Yes." Qi Diaozi nodded and said, "Just after the general attacked the Modong Grassland, the Galaxy Empire and the Guanghui Empire joined forces to gather nearly 300,000 cavalry to launch a large-scale attack on the Great Wilderness. It seems that they are preparing to kill the barbarians in Yaolan in one fell swoop before the general's wings are full..."

"Oh my God, 300,000 cavalrymen!" Zhao Qinghan said in a lost voice, "What should I do?"

"Haha, the general disappointed them again." Qi Diaozi stroked the goatee that was rare under his chin and said, "There was a big fire on the Wushayuan, and the 100,000 troops of the Galaxy Empire were burned. The Guanghui Empire army lost its wings and had to retreat in disgrace. This great attack ended in vain."

"Really." Zhao Qinghan almost jumped up and said happily, "That's what Hu Zi has already gained a foothold in the Great Wilderness. At most, he will be able to integrate the barbarians on the Great Wilderness into a large army that can conquer and fight well. Then he will be able to kill back, military advisor, right?"

Qi Diaozi nodded repeatedly and said, "Madam, I'm afraid it won't take two years."

Zhao Qinghan hugged the child in his arms tightly, kissed his pink little face hard, and cried with joy: "Xiaohu, have you heard that? Your father is going to kill him, your father is going to come back..."

Mingyue Empire, Qingzhou Hayuan, Governor's Office.

Qiu Yutang had moved the capital of Qingzhou from Quacheng to Hayuan. Firstly, because Quacheng after flooding was no longer usable, and Quacheng was low in terrain and was easily flooded. From a military perspective, it was not conducive to persistence. Secondly, Kayuan City was located on the gate of the Mingyue Empire, and moving the prefecture to Hayuan can show the determination of Governor Zhao Qingtang to guard the national gate.

Qiu Yutang sat quietly on the governor's chair, slightly tilted his head and was thinking about it, but no one knew what she was thinking.

More than a dozen generals gathered in front of the screen to argue about something. Although the argument was fierce, no one dared to shout loudly, for fear of disturbing Qiu Yutang's meditation. Over the years, His Royal Highness's majesty has become more and more powerful. Many times, she doesn't need to speak at all. Just a cold look can make her subordinates silent, like tiger, leopard, jackal and wolves.

The Qingzhou generals were arguing about the military operations to suppress the rebellion in Zhuozhou. Three months ago, Qi Wang Qiu Changlin took the banner of clearing the ruling and killing treacherous and slandered, and officially launched a rebellion. The Zhuozhou Governor Luo Congyun, the Zhuozhou Army, was unaware of the situation and was carried into the rebel camp by Qiu Changlin.

The Qingzhou generals were fiercely arguing about the action plan for military suppression, but Qiu Yutang was completely out of his mind. She knew that Qiu Changlin's rebellion would definitely not become a climate, and Luo Congyun could not be confused all the time. Calculate the time, Qiu Ye should have arrived in Zhuozhou now. As long as he met Luo Congyun, Qiu Changlin's rebels would collapse in an instant.

When he thought of Qiuye, Qiu Yutang immediately showed a look of relief on his face. In the past few years, especially the more than three years after Qiuye ascended the throne and became emperor, he has made great progress. Although Qiuye is less than seventeen years old now, he is already very good at using imperial power. In terms of skills, he is no less than the previous emperor.

Qiuye did not lack civilized governance. After the last victory of the Defense of the Kingdom, the policy of encouraging industry and commerce had already been miraculous. Thanks to the support of the imperial royal family, the commerce of the states quickly flourished unprecedentedly. Horses in Shuozhou in the north, silk in Youzhou in the south, tea in Zhongzhou, porcelain in Zhuozhou, ironware in Yingzhou... were continuously sold to the states of the empire. The tax revenue of the empire increased dozens of times compared to the time when the emperor was in power, and the annual treasury income was three or four times more than when the emperor was in power!

The surge in treasury revenue provided a strong support for the royal family. In just three years, Qiu Yutang imitated the experience of the Glorious Empire to draw a large number of veterans from major local legions and rebuilt two royal legions. Now the strength of the two royal legions of the Mingyue Empire is even better than that of the most powerful in history.

What made Qiu Yutang even more gratified was that due to the mutual communication between the states and strengthening the ties, the situation where the major families held their own troops was greatly alleviated. Now, if the royal family wants to dismantle the local governor of any state, they only need to cut off his trade and trade exchanges to easily achieve it.

For example, the Yan family in Shuozhou in the north produced horses, and the Yan family's cavalry was the only one in the world. However, the empire only needed to cut off the trade routes of Youzhou, Zhuozhou porcelain and Zhongzhou silk entering Shuozhou. The Yan family's rule in Shuozhou would collapse in an instant. Those new nobles who were used to enjoying the noble life brought by silk, porcelain and tea would never follow the Yan family to take risks.

Qiu Yutang even felt that with this kind of civilized rule alone, Qiuye would be enough to become the greatest emperor in the history of the empire. However, the young Qiuye obviously did not feel complacent about it, nor did he stick to himself. He had greater ambitions. In addition to civilized rule, he also wanted to pursue great martial arts!

This time, he went deep into Zhuozhou alone. Although it was not very dangerous, Qiu Yutang still opposed it. She always believed that the emperor should not go deep into the dangerous place, but Qiu Yutang could not deny that after this trip to Zhuozhou successfully dismantled Qiu Changlin's rebels, Qiu Ye's military confidence would be greatly enhanced. For this, Qiu Yutang believed that it was worth taking some risks.

With a slightly tilted head, Qiu Yutang's beautiful eyes cast through the window into the distant eastern void.

Suddenly, Qiu Yutang's two beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly frowned. She knew that there was a tiger lurking in the distant east. If Qiu Ye wanted to establish civil and military achievements and achieve the dream of the greatest emperor in the history of the empire, he had to cross this tiger pass. However, can Qiu Ye get what he wanted? The tiger was not ordinary fierce. How easy was it to defeat him?
