Chapter 312: The lower classes will never know the truth of the war, Yan Shifan: Those who obey will prosper, those who resist will perish!
"Tang Shuai, I toast you a glass!"
After hearing that Tang Shunzhi had even thought of how to appease the people, the leaders of the Star Spirit tribe were in awe.
Of course, it was not just the alliance chairman who was shocked by Tang Shunzhi’s words, but also other senior executives.
Originally, they had all prepared themselves to become historical sinners and be hated by thousands of Protoss people.
But no one expected that this invader from the Ming Dynasty would actually consider them and wipe out all their aftermath.
But they soon realized that if the whole thing was viewed from a macro perspective, it was a relationship between two civilizations, one of invasion and being invaded.
Now, if the invader wants to rule the invaded civilization peacefully and make a smooth transition, he needs the support of all the people of the invaded civilization.
But the situation we are facing now is that hatred has arisen between the two civilizations.
These people are the top leaders who fight for the entire race, and are heroes in the hearts of many people today.
At this time, if these high-ranking officials took the lead in surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, then the people's hatred towards the invaders would be transferred to them, and they would be considered as betrayers of the entire race.
Because for the Ming Dynasty, if they wanted to rule the entire Protoss race, they would not attack these people.
They even need to find all kinds of reasons to throw dirty water on the heads of these senior executives.
Then kill another group, win over another group, and suppress another group of people, and finally achieve the goal of ruling the entire Protoss race.
To put it bluntly, these so-called Protoss high-ranking officials are the meat on the chopping board of the Ming Dynasty.
Now Daming actually chose to protect their reputation, which surprised them. Of course, as the high-level officials who ruled the Protoss, they had already smelled some kind of signal.
Since the Ming Dynasty has no intention of suppressing their prestige, does that mean that even if the Star Spirits are incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, they can still serve as officials in the Star Spirits?
When they thought of this, the high-ranking members of the Spiritual Clan couldn't help but feel eager, and their eyes were full of anticipation when they looked at Tang Shunzhi, but no one was willing to speak.
Even the chairman of the alliance was hesitant at this moment.
For some things, if there is no definite answer, it is meaningless to fantasize about them.
However, Tang Shunzhi did not keep them waiting for long, but gave them a definite answer directly.
"Everyone, from now on, this Xingling Territory will still rely on you to manage it," Tang Shunzhi said with a smile on his face, "but from now on, you will serve in the same court."
"In addition, the laws and administrative divisions must be based on the Ming Dynasty. I hope you can arrange these as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, yes, Coach Tang, don't worry..." Upon hearing this, a group of alliance leaders immediately expressed their opinions and nodded repeatedly.
"I'll tell you a little tidbit." Seeing these people coming forward, Tang Shunzhi motioned for them to come closer, and whispered, "As long as you perform well enough, then when the court gives you titles, you will be officials of the Ming Dynasty."
"For people like you, who have come here in response to a call of peace from an alien civilization, the imperial court will certainly not treat you badly."
"After that, immortal arts and immortal rewards will be arranged, and they will not be less. When the emperor convenes the next meeting on the plateau, maybe he will directly reward you with the cultivation level of the foundation-building period."
"By then, breaking through the 300-year lifespan will be easy."
A life span of three hundred years? !
"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, the top leaders of the Protoss Alliance suddenly stopped breathing.
Isn’t the most important reason why they were willing to accept the amnesty from the imperial edict because of the immortal magic mastered by the Ming Dynasty?
But no one told them it was so easy?
Looking at the completely dazed expressions of the Spiritual Clan leaders, Tang Shunzhi smiled softly in his heart.
Looking at the entire universe, all races, no matter what civilization, survival is always the first priority. Therefore, the length of life span is directly related to all the lives of all races.
If one could increase his or her lifespan, then not everyone would be able to resist this temptation!
When faced with the real interests of longevity, racial justice and power can all be sold out without scruples.
What's more, joining the Ming Dynasty would be beneficial to the entire race. Anyone who opposes this is a moron.
"But..." At this time, Tang Shunzhi's tone changed again, and the hearts of the alliance's top leaders tightened.
Seeing this, Tang Shunzhi realized that he had completely grasped the psychology of these Star Spirit Clan leaders.
"It's not that easy for you to reach 300 years old through rewards. The prerequisite is that you embark on the path of cultivating immortals," Tang Shunzhi paused for a moment before saying, "In addition, the most important thing is political achievements."
"I think it is not difficult for you to understand what political achievements are." As he spoke, Tang Shunzhi looked around at the high-level officials of the Star Spirit Clan.
Upon hearing this, the Alliance Chairman and others were startled, then nodded heavily and said, "We understand!"
They naturally understood that when Tang Shunzhi mentioned political achievements, his obvious intention was to ask them to appease the people as much as possible and make the entire Protoss race willingly be ruled by the Ming Dynasty.
"Please give us your instructions, General Tang," the chairman of the alliance imitated Tang Shunzhi's salute and clasped his fists, saying, "We will be very grateful."
When others saw this, they quickly followed suit.
"You don't have to do this," Tang Shunzhi smiled and waved his hand, then said: "What's the point of saying I'm giving instructions or not? When we serve in the same court in the future, we should support each other..."
"I am just joking, please listen to me." He paused and continued, "For example, the people of our Ming Dynasty are also called common people. It is better to integrate into the Star Spirit Clan as soon as possible."
"For a race, surnames are not only a symbol of personal identity and family belonging, but also an important manifestation of civilization inheritance, national identity and cohesion."
"This will help the Star Spirits integrate into the Ming Dynasty and become a part of it."
As he spoke, Tang Shunzhi popularized concepts such as surnames and families as the eyes of the Star Spirit Clan leaders gradually lit up.
"After that, you can also re-register for the entire Protoss race, um, using your ID cards."
"Before the imperial court sent an official to take charge of a region, the entire Star Spirit Clan was tidied up in advance. After presenting it to the emperor like this, are you still afraid that the emperor won't see it?"
"In addition to your merits in surrendering, you will be rewarded with immortal arts, immortal fortunes, and various elixirs. There will be no end to the rewards."
After these words were spoken, the Protoss leaders were suddenly enlightened.
After the matter was done, the senior members of the Star Spirit Tribe bowed deeply to Tang Shunzhi and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, General Tang!"
"Everyone, please stand up quickly." Seeing this, Tang Shunzhi smiled and helped everyone up immediately.
At this moment, he was also sincerely happy. After all, he could be said to have perfectly completed the court's mission.
Moreover, he has done so much, it would be a lie to say that he doesn't have his own little thoughts in his mind.
Although he is loyal to the country, in today's era, it is not acceptable if he does not care about himself and his family at all.
After all, the Tang family is entrenched in the southeast region. In terms of family level alone, it can be said to be on the same level as the immortal clans such as the cabinet and the six ministries.
However, due to the limitations of its location, if the Tang family wants to continue to grow and develop in the future, it can only develop outward.
This time, as the first person to start the war of civilization, he has a vital significance to the development of the family.
At this time, I should give more advice to these Protoss leaders, as they will become my allies in the future.
The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and soon in the conference room, the five military commanders, Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang also came up to make friends.
These people are not stupid, they all have their own little thoughts.
The five military commanders represented themselves, but the roles of Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang were more complicated. Behind Qi Jiguang was Prince Jing, and behind Ma Fang was Prince Yu.
After that, there were Chris and three others, representing King Ning.
Looking at the people who kept toasting and chatting with the Star Spirits, Tang Shunzhi smiled and did not interfere. War is the business of soldiers, but after the war, it is the business of the various civil service groups in the court.
Afterwards, the cabinet, six ministries, and all the kings will enter. After all, the Star Spirit Domain is too big a plate for the military to handle.
Next, a public interrogation video spread throughout the Spirit Realm with the tacit approval of the Protoss high-level officials.
At the same time, it also gave a sense of relief to the Protoss people who were in anxiety and fear all day long.
The first is that the extraterrestrial civilization reached a reconciliation with the Protoss.
At the same time, the people finally knew the truth about this war of civilizations. It turned out that it was the extremist alliance that deceived the foreign civilization, the Ming Dynasty, and provoked this war.
Well, they are already a terrorist extremist alliance, and now they are even more like a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to kill.
In the eyes of all the people, the Extremist Alliance wanted to dominate the entire new territory for its own selfish reasons, and used deceptive means to create misunderstandings between the Ming Dynasty and the Star Spirit Territory.
In the end, the entire Protoss race has to pay the price. How can the people of the Protoss not hate?
There is also some information about the spirit stone. That is, as a kind of energy source of the Ming Dynasty, the spirit stone should not be used for the people, but for industry. However, the extremist alliance used it to poison the ordinary people of the entire Star Spirit Region.
This made the Protoss people, who had long known the dangers of spirit stones, hate the Extremist Alliance even more.
In the end, the winner of this war was undoubtedly the Ming Dynasty.
As the victorious party, the Protoss need to pay compensation.
First, the "Interstellar Market" was opened, focusing on the civilized trade with Ming Dynasty. After that, the Protoss needed to cede land and pay compensation, ceding one-third of the territory to Ming Dynasty.
Finally, there are the citizens of the Ming Dynasty. Officials can hold official positions in various forces in the Star Spirit Realm.
The people of both sides can exchange what they have with each other.
When the news came out, although many Protoss people were dissatisfied, under the guidance of public opinion they also understood that the current situation was the best.
After all, it is according to the laws of survival of civilization in the universe.
Once a war breaks out between two civilizations, the defeated side will suffer a very miserable fate, either being exterminated or enslaved.
Simply ceding territory, paying compensation, and opening up some interstellar markets is already the best outcome.
For a time, the prestige of the Protoss leaders among the people was unprecedented.
And just like that, another half a month passed.
The previously chaotic order has been restored, and in the war between civilizations, more and more people of the Protoss, as the defeated party, have completely emerged from the shadow.
Then, after social order was restored, the Protoss leaders announced another important news, that is, from now on, all forces in the Protoss domain will form an alliance.
The alliance is named:
——New World United States.
Because the Protoss are not strong enough in this vast universe, they must unite.
With the shadow of the previous war of civilizations still looming, this decree, once issued, unexpectedly received support from the people of all forces, and all Protoss believed that they should unite.
At this point, the entire Star Spirit Realm announced the arrival of the era of great unification.
……
The Star Spirit Realm is where the Bright Realm is located.
The planet where the former Extremist Alliance was located has now been renamed "Ming World".
The star field where they were located also became the "Bright Field".
Well, it is said that the Star Spirit Realm has given up one third of its star fields to the outside world, but in fact the entire "New World United States" has begun to deteriorate from within and is changing towards the shape of the Ming Dynasty.
The lower class people are completely unaware of all this.
For the lower classes, war can be closely related to them or have nothing to do with them.
Because war has two sides, one side is life and death, and the other side is the invisible truth.
Xianchao Building, top floor.
Tang Shunzhi, the Five Army Commanders, Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang and others all closed their eyes and communicated with their natal plateau with their consciousness.
In this expedition outside the domain, the emperor led the cabinet, six ministries, two imperial masters, and many important ministers into the world of cultivating immortals, although Prince An, Prince Gong, and Prince Ning are now in charge of the court.
But this matter concerns the outcome of the war for an entire extraterritorial civilization, as well as its subsequent arrangements, and the three kings are no longer qualified to intervene.
The subsequent arrangements for the Protoss must be approved by the Emperor, and the decision must be made after discussion by the Cabinet, the Imperial Household Department, and the six ministries.
Therefore, Tang Shunzhi and others had to go to Gaoyuan first to report to Emperor Xi, who would then report to the emperor.
Above the natal plateau.
At a glance, pieces of light beams flickered with flickering light curtains. These were the natal fields of the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your servant, Tang Shunzhi (Zhang Zhenhai, Li Wenda, Zhao Zhihong, Zhu Gongjian, Wen Zhicheng, Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang), has fulfilled the mission and pacified the foreign civilization in seven months..."
Tang Shunzhi, the five military commanders, Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang and others knelt on the plateau.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, ripples appeared in the space above the sky, and then the imperial seal appeared.
Seeing this, Tang Shunzhi took a deep breath and then began to tell the story, while the commander-in-chief of the five armies beside him supplemented his story.
About six hours later, the imperial seal emitted a layer of light, and then shot out several beams of light, which sank into the brows of Tang Shunzhi and others.
Although no sound was heard, everyone understood the meaning conveyed by the imperial seal.
Emperor Xi has already known Tang Shunzhi's report, and will convey it to the emperor later. Before new orders are issued, Tang Shunzhi and others need to continue to stay in the Star Spirit Domain.
"Yes, we will take our leave." After bowing, they left the plateau.
The imperial seal also slowly disappeared after the few people left.
……
The world of cultivating immortals.
There is an island lying across a sea area outside the four continents of the east, south, west and north.
In terms of area alone, this island is equivalent to half of the Ming world, or half of the earth.
However, compared with the vast and magnificent world of cultivation on Arcturus, this area seems insufficient.
Even in this vast ocean, this area is like a small boat.
However, such a remote island is just right for the Ming Dynasty, which is officially initiating its invasion of the world of immortal cultivation.
"boom!!!"
A huge hand that covered the sky and the sun fell down, and a mysterious world filled with fairy spirit, as if it was a fairyland on earth, suddenly exploded.
Above the sky of the secret world, a huge palm print appeared, revealing the gloomy sky outside.
"Who exactly are you? How dare you kill us all? Don't you know that Confucianism is respected in the world of immortal cultivation on Arcturus?" An elegant middle-aged man with white hair and snow-white clothes stood in the sky and asked angrily.
"You are killing all of our Tianshui Academy and destroying our sect. Aren't you afraid of attracting attacks from other academies?"
And below, an ancient building was reduced to ruins, with dead and wounded monks everywhere.
The cultivation level of this man in white is also terrifyingly powerful. He is a great cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Hmph!" A disdainful sneer suddenly sounded from outside the empty, shattered sky.
Then a huge black shadow was seen falling from the sky, and the entire secret realm seemed to be shrouded in shadow.
"...Hiss!" A hoarse hissing sound was heard, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
The next moment, a triangular venomous snake with a purple-black body and a single horn on its head came in with its tongue barked.
Seeing this spirit snake, the man in white looked gloomy. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with an unyielding look on his face.
On the head of the venomous snake, stood a man in a red robe with his hands behind his back.
"I'll give you two choices," Yan Shifan looked at the middle-aged man below indifferently and said lightly:
"Those who follow will prosper, those who go against will perish."
"Surrender your lives immediately and swear a blood oath to the Heavenly Dao, and this 'Tianshui Academy' will be able to survive forever."
"Otherwise, the whole clan will be wiped out."
"..."
