Girl, there's something wrong with you

Time enters May.

The weather has begun to get hotter, and Long Xiang's army is making final preparations for the Northern Expedition.

On the other side, the Beifu Army located in Jingkou Town is also deploying a large number of troops to Jingzhou.

In the morning, after the shogunate meeting ended, Xing Yunzhi found Cheng Jinyang.

"There's something wrong in Changzhou Town." She whispered.

"Changzhou Town?" Cheng Jinyang frowned, "Isn't that the front line against the ruins of Songjiang? What happened to the Shenwu Army?"

"The intelligence personnel of Diwang noticed some clues." Xing Yunzhi whispered, "It is suspected that the clan officers are causing trouble."

"Yes." Cheng Jinyang nodded to express his understanding.

He thought for a moment, then went to find Miss Wang... No, there is no need to trouble Wanrou about this matter, I can just discuss it with the princess sister.

So he found the princess sister again and told her these things in detail.

The princess sister also sighed. Recently, she was thinking about how to protect the Sima family, but the old guys in the family gave her such a big surprise.

"I will handle this matter." She hugged her husband and spoke softly to comfort him, then hurriedly set off, heading down the Yangtze River to Changzhou.

After leaving the affairs of Changzhou Town to the princess sister, Cheng Jinyang naturally would not slow down the Northern Expedition because of this, so he led the initially assembled army and headed north along the Han River to Xiangyang.

Most of Longxiang's naval forces are large ships, which are like mobile fortresses on the river. They have a variety of large-caliber cannons and various ammunition of mass destruction. This is also to adapt to the puppet's human sea tactics. In recent decades, Renovated from inside.

Well, the ferocious and masculine giant ship cannon looks reassuring, and is much more domineering than some effeminate drone carrier or some wretched torpedo missile ship.

We need to develop more giant ships and cannons in the future!

"Write it down." Yang Wangshu muttered in a low voice, typing on his portable keyboard, "Instructions on May 12th, bigger is better, build more giant ships and cannons."

"Hey, I'm kidding!" Cheng Jinyang hit her on the head, causing little Wangshu to hold her head and stare at him with innocent, watery eyes, pleading.

This expression is a bit cute, I want to rub her little head...

Reluctantly resisting the idea of ​​rubbing the head of the Guards Captain in front of the Guards, Cheng Jinyang continued to review the military situation.

The current situation is that except for part of the Longxiang Army staying in Sichuan, Sichuan and Jingzhou, and part of the Beifu Army staying at Jingkou, all the remaining forces have been invested in the Northern Expedition, accounting for nearly one-half of the empire's effective strength.

However, in terms of armament level and combat effectiveness, the Northern Expedition force currently on hand is much stronger than the remaining Xiaoqi, Shenwu, Yulin and other armies of the empire.

There is no other reason. The Beifu Army has received generous investment from aristocratic families. It needs technology and special abilities. It is much richer than Longxiang Army.

What this brought about was Cheng Jinyang's new understanding of the aristocratic family.

He has been reading history recently and discovered that the entire history of the Jin Dynasty was a history of the gradual transfer of national power in all aspects from the exclusive control of the royal family to the gentry.

Emperor Gaozu Xuan of Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhongda, was a strongman emperor who was dictatorial to the extreme. He disintegrated all the aristocratic families that occupied educational resources, swept them into the remnants of history, and then forcibly promoted Chinese civilization into the industrial age.

Therefore, for more than two hundred years after his death, the national power of the entire Jin Dynasty was booming, and the power of the royal family was unprecedentedly concentrated.

Under Sima Zhongda's admonition to "pay attention to science and education", a large number of scientific research projects sprang up in the hands of the Sima family, including the development and utilization of super powers - you must know that when super powers appeared in Sima Zhongda's later years, but There is no such thing as an "algorithm". The ancestors of today's major families with super powers were just humble experimental subjects at that time.

The next two hundred years will be the development history of the supernatural family.

With the emergence of superpower algorithms, the Sima family began to put superpowers into social production, and superpowers began to control social resources.

Due to the fact that superpowers can be "passed down by blood", "superpower families" were naturally born. The members of these families are not only united based on blood ties, but also natural alliances based on politics and interests.

In the next three hundred years, the royal family launched long-term and frequent confrontations with major aristocratic families. At first, the royal family had the upper hand, but the aristocratic families slowly regained control of the situation. In order to unite against the superior imperial power, the class concept of "gentry" was born.

Technology can be passed down through learning, but abilities... can only be continued through blood. Therefore, the aristocratic family can benefit from the scientific research results of the Sima family, but the Sima family cannot obtain any benefits from the research and development of superpowers by the aristocratic family.

The ancestral precept of "valuing science and education" left by Sima Zhongda ensured the prosperity and glory of the Jin Dynasty in the first four hundred years, and also paved the way for the decline of the royal family in the next three hundred years.

In the end, an emperor who tried to reverse the situation accidentally opened Pandora's box in order to break the blood barrier of the supernatural family, which laid the final nail for the ultimate destruction of the royal family.

After Yi Guan traveled south, the Sima family was actually helpless.

As the successor, Cheng Jinyang also had to face such problems:

How to deal with these families with special abilities?

You know, these families are not just families.

Through hundreds of years of development, these aristocratic families have not only maintained a high degree of intra-family cohesion, but also maintained deep penetration into all walks of life.

Moreover, they all have political attributes and demands, and their personal connections with each other are intricate. They also sent their daughters into their harems...

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Retracting his thoughts from the distant future to the present, Cheng Jinyang secretly convinced himself that thinking so much now was in vain.

As long as Luoyang can be recovered!

Defeating his mother, a first-class Heavenly Emperor, and taking back Luoyang, he could declare victory in the Northern Expedition and gain almost a huge amount of political prestige within the empire.

The terrifying strength and huge reputation are enough to ensure that after ascending the throne, he will act arbitrarily and not be restricted by these aristocratic families.

As for what will happen after his death...well, let's wait until he ascends the throne!

If that doesn’t work, we can only trust in the wisdom of future generations!

"What are you thinking about?" Yang Wangshu asked curiously when he saw him staring outside the porthole without saying a word for a long time.

"I was thinking..." Cheng Jinyang was about to say it subconsciously, but then he remembered that the eldest lady was also from a noble family, so he quickly stopped and changed the subject without any flaws, "I was thinking about how many children we will have in the future."

"Ah, this." Xiao Wangshu blushed at his sudden attack. He hesitated for a while before murmuring:

"Just one...no more..."

"Why not more?" Cheng Jinyang smiled and held her in his arms, letting her sit on his lap.

"If you have more children, you won't love your little wife anymore." Xiao Wang said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito.
