Amid the cheers of hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians, Jiang Ruyue returned to the position of palace master.

This turmoil lasted for nearly a month.

The nine heads of state quarreled every day because of the uneven division of interests, but not much was taken away.

But the normal order in the Xiaoyao Palace area was completely disrupted.

The reception personnel sent by the nine heads of state were looting and occupying everywhere during this period, like robbers entering the country. They wanted to take away good things when they saw them, and took advantage of them when they saw good things.

If the people brought by the nine heads of state were more polite, paid attention to their food and appearance, and paid attention to appeasing the people's emotions, the situation would not be so bad.

It's just that their destructive power to order was too great, which aroused the extreme disgust of one billion people in the direct-administered area, which greatly contributed to the people's memory of His Highness the Palace Master.

Therefore, Jiang Ruyue's evaluation of the nine heads of state was completely in line with Jiang Ruyue's evaluation: nine idiots!

However, the impact of the nine idiots on the direct-administered areas was still relatively large. Many jobs were interrupted, and a small amount of technology and talents were robbed. It took Jiang Ruyue three months to fully restore normal order.

The development speed of Dongyuanzhou this year has obviously slowed down a lot.

"Nine traitors and idiots! I will deal with you sooner or later!"

Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but cursed in private.

In fact, she was fully prepared before the nine heads of state tried to force her to abdicate.

Her life experience is indeed a huge stain, and it is hard for her to refute it. If exposed by the nine heads of state, she will indeed be extremely passive.

Origin is very important. When people evaluate a person, they often do not look at whether he/she is good or bad, but will relate it to the relatives around him/her.

If your parents are criminals, your brother has killed someone, and your sister is not serious... it will have a great impact on you, and may even alienate and neglect you.

Because people think that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. If you come from a disgraceful family, you will not be able to hold your head up.

And many people have a "perfectionism" mentality, hoping that the idol they worship and respect is a perfect person in all aspects, just like a piece of beautiful jade. Once there are any flaws and stains, it will be difficult to accept it.

The nine heads of state were convinced of these points and believed that Jiang Ruyue could be taken down.

But they ignored her special situation - her mother was extremely bad, but her father was a savior saint. Saint Zhang's influence in Dongyuan Continent was no less influential than in Wancheng Kingdom.

This gave Jiang Ruyue hope to reverse her passivity.

Moreover, the female devil was suppressed by Zhang Shengren, and Zhang Shengren was obviously much more powerful than the female devil - the offspring born from the combination of the two must have inherited Zhang Shengren.

Combined with all the good things His Royal Highness the Palace Master has done for the people over the past few decades, this can be fully proved.

In the face of this "genetic suppression" theory, not only 99% of the people were willing to accept it, but the nine heads of state also knelt down in front of it and fled.

Therefore, Jiang Ruyue felt very emotional: everything she had now, in a sense, was given by her father who did not approve of it at first. Although she had never seen him for a day, the precious legacy he left behind, she Really received.

After the situation in Xiaoyao Palace was basically stable.

Jiang Ruyue switched from defense to active attack.

Attack against what?

Of course it is the nine heads of state and the nine forces behind them.

The battlefield mainly takes place in the mortal world, among the nearly 5,000 cities that are not directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Government.

Jiang Ruyue plans to incorporate all 5,000 mortal cities into the management system of Xiaoyao Palace.

This integration work actually started five years ago.

The formula used is economic cooperation + central support + political party infiltration + leadership charisma, as well as appropriate temptations of interests, threats and intimidation, and targeted attacks on die-hards.

In short, it is to use the good environment to win over + to treat different people differently.

The implementation effect is very good.

Except for a few cities that are extremely difficult to penetrate, more than 70% of city controllers have begun to yearn for Xiaoyao Palace.

After the turmoil over Jiang Ruyue's "life experience", the proportion of cities that yearned for Xiaoyao Palace increased to 90%, while the rest were vacillating.

What Jiang Ruyue has to do now is to bring all the cities that are interested in Xiaoyao Palace into the Xiaoyao Palace system, so that they can get rid of the control of the nine heads of state.

How to get rid of the control of the nine heads of state?

In one sentence: Let these cities no longer submit tribute to the nine heads of state.

In fact, within the control of the nine major forces, the burden on those mortal cities is quite heavy. The proportion of property provided every year is approximately equal to 20% of the city's gross product.

Part of the donated property was used by the nine major forces to expand their respective strengths; the other part was used for the luxurious enjoyment of the high-ranking officials.

Expenditures for luxury enjoyment account for about 50%.

This is the reason why many mortal city controllers have their hearts set on Xiaoyao Palace. The cities in the areas governed by the nine heads of state generally have heavy burdens, high pressure, and always live in poverty.

Then look at the nine heads of state who are intoxicated with extravagance and extravagance, and they will increase the amount of their tribute from time to time. If you offend a certain immortal, he has many ways to kill you.

If you join the Xiaoyao Palace system, you don't have to make a financial contribution. The central government will also provide assistance or preferential loans. There are many benefits.

It can be said that I ran from hell to heaven (in fact, Xiaoyao Palace also collects some taxes, but the collection method is civilized, the burden is lighter, there are system regulations, and it is far less rough than the nine major forces).

If it weren't for the strict prohibition of the nine heads of state, they would have fallen into the arms of Xiaoyao Palace.

But this time, the city lords were much bolder and agreed to join Xiaoyao Palace at the same time!

Because His Highness the Palace Master made people promise them: as long as they join the Xiaoyao Palace system, the nine major forces will never dare to touch a hair of their hair!

To prove that what she said was true, Xiaoyao Palace did something big not long after she said this!

Mobilize the Lingyuan fleet among the nine major forces to join the Guards Corps.

This action is called "loyalty action".

It was a huge success very quickly!

There are 3,000 Lingyuan battleships added to the Guards Corps.

Nearly a million soldiers defected to Xiaoyao Palace.

These warships and soldiers account for about 60% of the total military strength of the nine major forces.

Coupled with Xiaoyao Palace's original military strength of 500 Lingyuan warships, the balance of strength tilted towards Xiaoyao Palace.

There was chaos within the nine major forces.

"My battleship, my legion, come back quickly, come back quickly!"

The nine heads of state shouted desperately, their bodies feeling like they were falling into an ice cave.

They could never imagine why their officers and soldiers, who were well treated, well equipped and had never been treated badly in any aspect, suddenly jumped to Xiaoyao Palace in large numbers.

Give them a huge blow.

Why?

This is mainly related to the structure and composition of the legion in their hands, which has not yet broken away from the traditional sect thinking.

The legion in their hands is not a normal army at all.

Because of the legions in their hands, the immortal elders are the commanders, the direct disciples are the generals, the inner disciples are the captains, and the outer disciples are the main crew members. As for the vast majority, the mortal monks recruited from various training schools , they do all the dirty work, and there is basically no room for improvement.

The best of them only stop at the level of deputy captain/helmsman, with the ceiling above.

With such an army structure, the middle and upper levels can maintain stability, but the middle and lower levels, which make up the majority, have been suppressing strong dissatisfaction for many years.

Even on the verge of an explosion.

Even many outer disciples also joined in this job-hopping operation and planned to be loyal to His Highness the Palace Master.

Of course, the success of this "Operation Loyalty" is also related to the fact that the political party founded by Jiang Ruyue that is loyal to her has been very successful in infiltrating the nine fleets. A large number of middle- and lower-level officers have been recruited into the party, and the soldiers at the bottom are extremely supportive. The plan was thoughtful and meticulous, but the launch was sudden. "Operation Loyalty" achieved great success, which was completely expected.

Soon after, 3996 cities in the mortal world announced within two or three days that they would join the Xiaoyao Palace, indicating that they would no longer make offerings to the nine heads of state.

In this way, Jiang Ruyue, who has gathered a large army and has the support of 80% of the mortal city, what power can stop her from integrating and unifying Dongyuan Continent?

Nine heads of state?

Nowadays, the existing military forces in their hands are somewhat immobile, for fear of another mutiny below.

They are ready to unite and use the high-end power at the bottom of the box (mainly immortals) to suppress Xiaoyao Palace.

However, two or three of the nine heads of state, who had been brainwashed by some unknown means, suddenly planned to agree to Jiang Ruyue's peace negotiation conditions, and agreed to learn from Wancheng Kingdom's model and implement "separation of immortals and mortals, and non-interference with each other."

The nine major forces that had collapsed in a corner began to collapse completely.

Then there was a small-scale civil war for three years. Of the nine major forces, four were completely eliminated, two chose to surrender (were eventually eliminated), and three remained who agreed to peace talks.

It took Jiang Ruyue a total of about five years to eliminate all stumbling blocks and basically completely integrate Dongyuan Continent.

Her dream for many years has finally come true.

only……

Will Wancheng Kingdom in the west allow Dongyuan Continent, which has completed the great unification, to appear around it, no, Dongyuan Kingdom?

In addition, Dongyuanzhou has developed rapidly in the past ten years, its strength has doubled, and now it is about to achieve unification, the future threat will definitely be great!

Do you want to interfere?

Do you want to interrupt by force?

Wan Chengguo's senior officials were caught in a controversy.

The third update is indeed exhausting and tiring, so we might as well consider resuming the second update. In addition, this dungeon can probably end around chapter 200, so it won’t be too procrastinating.
