Confucian and Taoist scholar

Soon after, Du Ning said goodbye to Emperor Guangde and left his imperial study.

Then, the ministers walked in again one by one.

"Everyone you dear may have heard what Mr. Yunqi just said. What do you think?" Emperor Guangde asked.

The officials looked at each other, but for a moment no one spoke.

After a long while, an official finally said: "Your Majesty, although we do have some stubborn views on the Holy Court, Yun Qijun and others can do their best for our Seven Islands Sea Kingdom to fight against the Hailong Gang. We should all be honest and reasonable.

With gratitude, at least these scholars in the Holy Forest Continent do not owe us anything."

Then another official snorted coldly and said disapprovingly: "Du Ning is just trying to persuade the emperor to surrender to the Holy Forest Continent. He deliberately talks more pleasantly than what he sings. Once the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom falls into a situation where it is about to be destroyed.

, Du Ning and others will abandon us and run away immediately. I just don’t believe that people like Du Ning really have such a broad mind and are willing to go through fire and water for our seven-island sea country."

"Nonsense! Don't judge a gentleman with your villain's heart. Du Jun is definitely not that kind of person."

"What do you know? They are just scholars, not saints. How can they be unselfish? As long as a critical moment comes, they will show their fox tail immediately. Is this kind of person worthy of being a gentleman? What a big joke!"

p>

The former ridiculed and looked down upon Du Ning and others.

The latter immediately said: "What qualifications do you have to call him ridiculous? Where were you when Du Jun and others were fighting the Hailong Gang on the front line? We can question their motives and purposes, but we are never qualified to call them ridiculous, because

At this moment, these people are using their bodies to defend us from the enemy in front, so you can speak ill of Du Ning and others behind their backs with peace of mind!"

"You..."

The former's face became extremely ugly, and he was also very embarrassed and angry, because the other party was right. In any case, Du Ning and others did win the battle for the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, but he, an official, said some unpleasant words to slander Du Ning and others.

People, but no one with any conscience would be able to do such a thing.

He really has no qualifications to say those words!

"Okay, then we will give them some treasures as reward and send Du Ning and others back to the Holy Forest Continent. They don't owe us Seven Islands Sea Country, and we Seven Islands Sea Country don't owe them any favors."

"Without the mysterious artillery of the Holy Forest Continent, our Seven-Island Sea Country would never have been able to defeat the Hailong Gang. If we sent Du Ning and the others away, wouldn't our Seven-Island Sea Country be completely annihilated? Just to gain such a ridiculous breath, we would have to sacrifice seven people.

Doesn’t the Island Sea Country make many scholars in the Holy Forest Continent laugh out loud?”

"How dare you say such words that shake the morale of the military. We, the Seven Island Sea Country, will never lose and cannot lose!"

"Why do you dare to make such a conclusion? Is it just based on your mouth?"

"You..."

Both of them had fire in their eyes, and they seemed to be about to quarrel because of their differences in opinions.

"Shut up, all of you!" Emperor Guangde shouted coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

Seeing the impatient expression on Emperor Guangde's face, the two quickly closed their mouths and glanced at each other, both showing expressions of extreme dissatisfaction to the other. Neither could agree with the other's views.

p>

"Don't argue any more. Please step aside. I want to be alone for a while." Emperor Guangde issued an order to expel guests.

"I'll take my leave."

After saluting, the officials exited Emperor Guangde's study.

Emperor Guangde sat on the eucalyptus table and read the "Historical Records of the Sacred Forest" that Du Ning gave him alone, and began to have an in-depth understanding of the history and culture of the Sacred Forest Continent. Since the end of the Great War, the Sacred Forest Continent has been divided into many countries.

, and finally the Qin Dynasty unified the world.

Afterwards, we experienced the Three Kingdoms period, Wei and Jin, and then the world was divided into many countries, all under the unified leadership of the Holy Academy.

If the world is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided.

While visiting the "Historical Records of the Holy Forest", Emperor Guangde indirectly came into contact with many saints and sages of the Holy Forest Continent, such as Han Xin, a military strategist in the Qin and Han Dynasties. He collaborated with Zhang Liang to compile military books and order the art of war, and wrote "Han Xin's Art of War"

Three articles, canonized as a semi-saint.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was the Marquis of Wu. He created the Eight Formations, which shocked the world, and wrote "Twenty-four Chapters on the Art of War" and was granted the title of Half-Saint.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Daoyuan traveled around the mountains and rivers, surveyed the geography, and wrote "Shui Jing Zhu" to be conferred as a semi-saint.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming became a semi-saint with his works such as "Drinking", "Peach Blossom Spring", "Come Back and Sayings", and "The Biography of Mr. Wuliu".

Emperor Guangde was fascinated by what he saw for a moment, and then he thought of his own Seven Islands Sea Country. He sighed helplessly, saying that the former Seven Islands Sea Country should not be closed to the outside world. During that time, the civilization of the Seven Islands Sea Country had always been

While they are standing still, the civilization of the Sacred Forest Continent has been moving forward, leaving the culture of the Seven Islands Sea Country far behind.

"Perhaps Mr. Yunqi is right. Compared with the Holy Forest Continent and the Lingwu Continent, our Seven Island Sea Country is indeed far behind. If we fall behind, we will be beaten!"

"If you don't want to be bullied, you must see the future with a long-term vision. If the civilization of the Seven Islands Sea Country cannot be made to progress, then the Seven Islands Sea Country will be a well trapping us. Sitting in the well and looking at the sky, we will never know how big the world is.

."

Emperor Guangde looked at the jade seal next to him, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally he gritted his teeth and made his decision.

"I am the king of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. Only I can decide the fate of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. Only I can smash the iron chains that trap the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. No matter how the civil and military officials view it, since I am the son of the Emperor of Zhou

Future generations must consider the future of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. I believe in the civil and military officials, the entire army, and the stance of Du Ning and the Holy Academy, but I believe in my own judgment more."

Emperor Guangde was resolute in his eyes, holding the jade seal with his hand, integrating his spiritual thoughts into the national destiny.

"Boom!"

The statues and tablets of the saints enshrined in the holy temple trembled, and then a golden light rose into the sky, and along with the power of the national destiny, it went straight to the stars in the nine heavens.

Many officials from the Seven Islands Sea Country raised their heads in unison. They celebrated the New Year as officials, and they could also see that the power of the national destiny had been mobilized.

"Your Majesty!"

Many officials suddenly realized something, and each of them seemed to have been hit by a bolt from the blue. They felt a surge of energy and blood, and almost fainted.

"Your Majesty, you are so stupid! You have been deceived!"

"How could you take the initiative to contact the Holy Court? This is the tragedy of our Seven Islands Sea Country, and it is even more of a shame for our Seven Islands Sea Country!"

"It's over! Soon, even if our Seven Island Sea Kingdom is not destroyed by the Sea Dragon Gang, it will be occupied by the warships of the Holy Academy. We are finished."

Most of the officials were disheartened. Some could not help but curse at Du Ning and others from afar.

Only a few people were overjoyed and kept bowing in the direction of the palace, "Your Majesty is wise! Long live my Emperor!"

The other side.

After Geng Cunshan sensed that part of the national destiny force of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom was flying towards the mainland, his face became extremely ugly, and many generals around him couldn't help but sigh.

"Lost! We lost!"

Geng Cunshan said: "The emperor was persuaded by Du Ning, and he still chose to contact the Holy Court. As a result, the fate of our Seven Island Sea Kingdom is unspeakable. Even if we are not attacked by the warships of the Holy Court, we will probably have to contact the Holy Court. The Holy Court bows its head and bows its head."

"This is all because of Duning, I'm going to kill him!" a general roared.

"Shut up!"

Geng Cunshan said: "We can't kill them, but we can take them hostage as a condition for negotiations with the Holy Forest Continent. This is our only trump card that can challenge the Holy Academy. Once we kill them, it will be our fault. ”

"What if the Holy Court is unreasonable?" someone asked.

"If the Holy Court insists on attacking our Seven Island Sea Kingdom, then we will kill all Du Ning and others, and then we will die for our country!"

Geng Cunshan showed a proud look on his face and said: "Since I share your salary and share your worries, I am willing to live and die with the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom. I wonder if you generals are willing to follow me?"

"We will follow the Governor and our Emperor to the death!"

Many generals spoke in unison and made the determination to die.

If the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom no longer exists, they will die for their country to fulfill their name of loyalty.

Holy Forest Continent, Holy Courtyard.

Conde summoned many great scholars from the Holy Academy overnight to gather in the Great Confucian Hall.

"Mr. Kong summoned us late at night. What's the matter?" Fan Heshan said.

All the great scholars present had serious expressions. To gather so many people at this time, something big must have happened.

Kongde said excitedly: "I have good news for you. The king of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom has used the power of his jade seal to contact our Holy Court."

"What! The king of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom contacted the Holy Academy?"

Many great scholars were all surprised that the Seven Island Sea Kingdom had never had any contact with the Holy Court, let alone the majestic king of a country, which was enough to shock everyone present.

"Mr. Kong, are you telling the truth? The Seven Islands Sea Kingdom has really started to contact us? Could it be that Lord Yunqi and the others succeeded in their mission?" Fan Heshan asked impatiently.

Kongde said slowly: "As our Holy Court speculated, the pirate forces have begun to attack the Seven Island Sea Country in a large scale. Lord Yunqi used mystical cannon to temporarily resist the pirate forces' offensive, but our Holy Court's ship configuration

It was too weak and still could not let the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom defeat the pirates, so it sent a signal to our Holy Court asking for help."

"I see. It seems that this group of pirates is more difficult to deal with than we thought. If we can't solve it as soon as possible, I'm afraid even our Lord Wen will be in danger."

"Mr. Kong, the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdoms are our fellow human beings. We cannot turn a blind eye to their difficulties."

"That's right! Mr. Kong, please give the order in the name of the Holy Court. The armies of our countries will be at our disposal. We also want to take this opportunity to see what kind of power the human warships equipped with mysterious cannons have."
Many great scholars are gearing up and can’t wait.

"Okay!"

Kongde said proudly: "Now that you are all ready, I will immediately issue an order in the name of the Holy Court to mobilize 50,000 elite navy troops to go down to the Endless Sea to reinforce the Seven Island Sea Country and eliminate the pirate forces that are causing trouble in the Endless Sea!

”

"Now, I ask you all to strategize and mobilize supplies and supplies. The front line is tight, so we must act quickly. As long as our navy arrives on the battlefield early, the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom will lose many soldiers."

"This matter is extremely urgent. Please immediately send an order to the navy team to set off before noon!"

"We will obey the order!"

Many great scholars immediately got busy and urgently conveyed various orders to the people below.

Many people who were resting rushed to the Holy Court as quickly as possible to help.

With the cooperation of many great scholars, the national military camp closest to the customs directly dispatched troops to transport grain and grass supplies.

After receiving the order, the commander-in-chief of the customs immediately activated the military symbols to mobilize the army.

Pang Mengjie was one of the Confucian generals who guarded the customs. He received an order from the Holy Court and was appointed as the marshal to command 50,000 elite navy personnel to go to the endless sea to support the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. He is about to prepare for the expedition.

Since the advent of the Xuanji Cannon, the navy of the Holy Forest Continent has immediately been equipped with this advanced weapon. After training a group of artillerymen, this will be the first time that the Navy of the Holy Forest Continent has used the Xuanji Cannon to fight in the endless sea.

.

This is a great honor for Pang Mengjie. If he wins, he will be awe-inspiring in the sea, but if he loses, he will leave a stigma.

But Pang Mengjie is very confident in the power of the mysterious cannon. Fifty thousand elite naval forces are enough to conquer all powerful enemies in the endless sea.

The Sea Dragon Gang is destined to be buried in the endless sea, ending the sinful life of these pirates.

"The Holy Court issued an urgent order to quickly prepare a thousand warships and set off before noon. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

"Stop dawdling, move faster!"

Pang Mengjie personally supervised and mobilized soldiers and warships.

"Marshal, what are you doing? Are you going to fight?" asked an uninformed general.

"Of course, we are about to enter the endless sea to fight against pirates."

Pang Mengjie said: "I have received information from the Holy Academy that there is a group of pirates in the Endless Sea bullying our colleagues from the Seven Islands Sea Country. If our brother countries are bullied, if we don't even dare to let go, then when the Seven Islands Sea Country

After the country is destroyed, those pirates will come to attack us!"

"I see, then let's fight! Destroy these pirate forces and return peace to the endless sea!" the general said angrily.

"Report! Five hundred boxes of artillery shells from the Chu State Border Gate Operation have been delivered."

"Reporting to the marshal, one hundred thousand shi of food and grass delivered to the border of Liang State has been delivered."

"The Tang Dynasty has sent one hundred thousand arrows and asked the marshal to accept them."

Pang Mengjie said: "Time is running out, everyone needs to move to the warship, please hurry up!"

"Come here, go check all the things sent from various countries, go quickly!"

The sun slowly rises from the east, and as it approaches noon, 50,000 elite troops are ready to set off.

"Let's go!"

Pang Mengjie did not dare to waste time talking nonsense and directly ordered the army to go out.

The scale of the 50,000-strong navy is not large, but each warship is well-equipped, comparable to an elite navy of 500,000 men without mysterious cannons and weapons, and is commanded by a great scholar, so its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
