"I did a pretty job. In the future, I will leave all the Chixing Mountain affairs to Chen Quan."

After learning that Chen Quan was persuaded by Chixing Mountain and agreed to join Wancheng Kingdom, Zhou Ming nodded and was very satisfied.

That boy Chen Quan has been very sincere in many aspects, and Zhou Ming has always been very relieved of him.

Zhou Ming also looked at the general process of the negotiations in the telegram. Without expectation, it was not much different from what he thought.

Studying abroad is the biggest point of controversy and conflict.

Any sect that joins the Wancheng Kingdom will definitely be resistant and opposed to the overseas disciples who send them up the mountain to occupy their spiritual vein caves in the mortal world.

After all, this type of disciple has nothing to do with this sect. Most people who do not belong to this sect will leave after staying for a few years, which will not bring much benefits to this sect.

So it is very normal not to welcome it.

However, Wan Chengguo has to send these students up the mountain, and there is no other way?

Of course not.

With the current financial resources of Wancheng Kingdom, it is not a big problem to build a spirit gathering tower to meet the spiritual needs of all students. The 11 spiritual gathering academies in the mortal world have also built a spirit gathering tower.

In more than 20 years, 22 students have made breakthroughs in the Spirit Gathering Tower and successfully become immortals.

However, the environment in the Spirit Gathering Tower was closed and dark, and thousands of students were practicing together, which was very noisy, crowded, and very disturbing, and the environment was quite bad.

In this environment, many students find it difficult to practice with peace of mind.

For a considerable number of students, the so-called "breakthrough" sometimes requires an absolutely quiet and comfortable environment to isolate all noises and interferences.

It is best to have fresh and sweet air and pleasing scenery.

Studying abroad at the Xianshan Sect has become a better choice.

This is also one of the most important cooperation projects of various sects that join Wancheng Kingdom.

Then someone will ask why Zhou Ming did not destroy several sects and occupied several fairy mountains for students to break through and use, why should he cooperate? It made it so troublesome and gave so many subsidies.

I took all the fairy mountains myself, and used them as much as I wanted, and developed them as I wanted.

It also saves a lot of money, isn’t it beautiful?

Having said that, Zhou Ming still deliberately retained those traditional sects and did not destroy them.

Why?

Fear of a new privileged class.

Students in various cultivation academies, those who have achieved outstanding achievements, have strong military strength and very independent individuals after they become immortals, and are not bound or controlled by any force. The country of Wancheng also has no ability to force and can only guide them.

If these free and easy "immortals" stayed in the immortal mountain with abundant spiritual energy for a long time and formed a gang and condensed into a force, once they had a terrible idea, these "human-shaped nuclear bombs" would produce huge destructive power, who could stop and compete with them?

Any team or group has roles such as "ambitious" and "conspirators".

I can only think of some ways to "separate" them.

Moreover, many industries and factories in the mortal world also require the participation of high-strength monks and even immortals to achieve better development. Staying on various immortal mountains for a long time is also a waste of resources.

To give the simplest example: an immortal wants to build a "spirit gathering tower" worth ten billion spirit coins in the mortal world. If he wants to save this money, he must create more than ten billion spirit coins... The economy of the mortal world becomes active.

Therefore, the most fundamental purpose of Wanchengguo’s “subsidy system for studying abroad” is to benefit the mortals.

From this point of view, Wancheng Kingdom does have a desire to join the sects, requiring them to accept Wancheng Kingdom's "study abroad disciples" and pay certain subsidies.

Of course, various sects that accept "study abroad disciples" can also benefit greatly. Before each study abroad disciple leaves, those "notes", "self-created skills" or "experiences" of the nature of "graduation thesis" will benefit after passing the defense and depositing them into the library.

Various sects have also greatly expanded their knowledge and skills reserves.

Most students studying abroad will continue to create their value after returning to the mortal world.

Get multiple goals in one go and eliminate hidden dangers.

Of course, after taking down Chixing Mountain, the number of sects that increased to two was not enough, and it had not met his number requirements.

Zhou Ming's eyes were aimed at the next target-

Guanglei Mountain!

He was preparing to take down Guanglei Mountain and force it to join Wancheng Kingdom to become the third sect to join.

but……

Guanglei Mountain is not easy to deal with.

Very strong.

They have three ancestors in the trance stage.

There are 109 immortals in Gudan stage.

There are more than 5,000 elite disciples.

There are more than 10,000 outer disciples of the nature of a fish.

There are 91 cities attached to the mortal world.

In addition, a huge army of nearly ten million people was formed based on the mandatory requirement of training 100,000 elite soldiers in each mortal city.

Its comprehensive strength is even stronger than Chixing Mountain in its heyday.

Among the four major sects, Guanglei Mountain is the well-deserved first.

Moreover, in the past twenty or thirty years, in dozens of small and medium-sized conflicts with Wan Chengguo (and the predecessor Hundred Cities Alliance), Guanglei Mountain, which suffered many major losses (but did not damage the fundamentals), quickly adjusted its response strategy and decided not to provoke Wan Chengguo again and aimed all the expansionary spearheads at Qingyun Mountain.

Under the harassment of every year, Qingyun Mountain is indecently miserable, and the cities and mines in the world fall one after another, and it seems to be inclined to be swallowed up.

The annexation of Qingyun Mountain, strengthening its own strength, and resisting the rise of Wancheng Kingdom in the east, is a strategy that Guanglei Mountain has been firmly implementing over the years.

Moreover, there is a gene for expansion in Guanglei Mountain that makes them uneasy.

When encountering a crisis, they also have a certain ability to accept new things and the courage to carry out certain reforms.

Especially after seeing the strength of Wancheng Kingdom, it grew as fast as the speed of light. One day after another, a day later, Guanglei Mountain actually introduced the "Academic" disciple training model, and sent immortals to steal Lingyuan Guns and Lingyuan Cannons to imitate them in order to prevent them from falling behind and being beaten.

The investment in scientific research has made the output of the Lingyuan Guns in Guanglei Mountain today very impressive and its power cannot be underestimated.

In addition to the Lingyuan battleship, Wancheng Kingdom can also provide a strong deterrence to Guanglei Mountain. In other aspects, Guanglei Mountain is not afraid at all.

It can be foreseeable that it will be an extremely arduous task to win Guanglei Mountain.

These days, Zhou Ming also held discussion meetings with intelligence personnel, staff officers, and military representatives all day long in the secret conference room to discuss how to make Guangleishan surrender and agree to join Wanchengguo.

"The head of the country, we have had many dealings with Guanglei Mountain over the years, but they have no intention of being on par with mortals. Instead, they have increased their intelligence infiltration and are very careful about our country of Wancheng."

"Not only that, Guanglei Mountain has also increased its control over the mortal cities in recent years, integrated the power of mortals, and vigorously excluded the economic community and trade routes of our country, resulting in the influence of our economic aspects. It is very weak in the Guanglei Mountain area, and it can be said that it has reached a strict blockade."

"In terms of military affairs, Guanglei Mountain has not stopped preparing for a day in recent years. Not only has a legion of over ten million people been formed in the mortal world, but also every day of preparations on Guanglei Mountain and never slacked off."

"In addition, we have adopted a strategy of erosion to continuously suppress Qingyun Mountain in the west, and it seems that we have the plan to swallow Qingyun Mountain and enhance our own strength."

"All the actions clearly show that Guanglei Mountain is just trying to oppose my country of Wancheng, but it is not going to surrender!"

Faced with such a stubborn opponent, it is unlikely that he will surrender except by force or other means.

"Fight! The leader of the country, with the strength of my Wancheng Kingdom, it is not difficult to destroy Guanglei Mountain. As long as we destroy Guanglei Mountain, seize its city, and occupy its population, our resources, our Wancheng Kingdom's strength in all aspects can double!" said a staff officer excitedly.

"You can fight. I, Wanchengguo, has strong military strength, but I have enjoyed decades of peace. Apart from the Battle of Dongyuanzhou, I have never participated in any major war. Although the soldiers are still elite, they are lazy sooner or later, and I don't know what war is. A practical battle can play a significant role in tempering."

A veteran general also said that he advocated using a war to hone his soldiers' combat skills and war consciousness.

After all, long-term peace will wear down the combat effectiveness of an army.

Therefore, from Guanglei Mountain's hostile and preventive attitude towards Wancheng Kingdom, the temptation of various resources in the Guanglei Mountain area, and the consideration of tempering the combat power of the army...

Conquering Guanglei Mountain by force is indeed the best choice.

In the conference room, the vast majority of participants were supporters of "martial conquest".

but……

Zhou Ming had different ideas.

He did not really want to use forceful conquest to take down Guanglei Mountain.

Why?

Martial conquest, to put it bluntly, is invasion and plunder.

Invasion is equivalent to injustice.

If there is no sufficient reason or excuse to launch a war, invasion will inevitably be subject to stubborn resistance and there will be some losses.

Of course, the strong prey on the weak is natural. It is natural for the strong to annex the weak to the law of nature, and it is not equated with the so-called "aggression". If you are weak, it is the reason for me to conquer you... This view can completely convince yourself and completely eliminate psychological burden.

But Zhou Ming’s concerns were more than this one.

The biggest problem is: after conquest, how to eliminate potential hidden dangers, dismantle unwilling resistance, and reduce the cost of maintaining rule, without any headaches.

It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to govern the world.

Rough conquest by force is absolutely not advisable... Even if the military discipline can be strictly enforced, it will not take the common people one by one.

Also, in the injection mode, the first indigenous character "Ye Kong" bound to the system is now an elder of Guanglei Mountain. He has a high status and is quite prestigious in Guanglei Mountain. He is also grateful to Guanglei Mountain and is very loyal to Ye Kong.

If you conquer Guanglei Mountain by force, if Ye Kong is blocking it, will he also want to kill it?

On a psychological level, Zhou Ming has not ruined his idea yet... He has been Ye Kong's "old grandfather" for more than 60 years.

So with all kinds of concerns, Zhou Ming really doesn't want to be ranked first and the only way to deal with Guanglei Mountain.

What should I do?
