Chapter 184: Clearing out Japan, aiming to build a state (Subscription required)

After returning to Japan, Lu Jing was not in a hurry to reunite with Song Yuheng.

He first listened to the reports from his subordinates.

After Zhang Ge Lao and Lu Jing broke off their relationship, Lu Jing contacted Song Yuheng and asked her to pack up all the properties left in Japan as soon as possible, as they were going to find a new home.

Japan is shocked by this!
No one, including Song Yuheng, understood.

He has built such a big family business!
Even a quarter of the annual taxes collected by the Dayu court were paid by their province of Japan.

So the emperor can just dismiss him if he wants to?
Is the old emperor too arrogant?
Zheng Longwang and Shi Hainu, who were both pirates, heard the news that day and even said angrily: "If that's the case! We have strong soldiers and horses, strong ships and powerful guns! Why should we be afraid of the old emperor?"

"Then why can't my Lord Lu sit on the emperor's throne?"

But Lu Jing severely criticized Zheng Longwang and Shi Hainu for such ideas.

Lu Jing didn't do this to rebel.

What he wants is the prosperity of this world.

The stability of a generation is meaningless to Lu Jing.

This is also the reason why many people don’t understand why Lu Jing made these pictures.

Judging from what Lu Jing did, he clearly wanted to rebel, but he always avoided conflict with the Dayu court.

It seemed that he was determined to fight the monsters to the death, and even slaughtered them with extremely cruel means, but he set up the Anbei Academy in Mobei and even recruited some monsters as students.

Such inconsistent actions make it hard to understand what he is thinking.

I don’t understand what Lu Jing is doing.

The reason why Lu Jing did this was just to pave the way for his supreme magical powers.

Each supreme magical power is a unique path that belongs to one's own.

Outsiders can't understand the significance of Lu Jing doing these things.

Lu Jing also didn't know what path the supreme master who hid in the Demon Saint Temple would take.

But instead of second-guessing others all day long, it is better to hone your own skills to the peak.

That's why Lu Jing did many seemingly contradictory things after Tian Xiang became invincible.

He not only wants to be invincible in the celestial phenomena.

He will also embark on the journey of conquering the stars in an invincible manner.

Tear away all the covetous gazes from outside.

Therefore, he needs this world to become a prosperous era where everyone is like a dragon!

Even ten years is fine!

Even twenty years!
Even if it's fifty years, a hundred years!

Lu Jing can wait!

He wants to create a prosperous world!
He wants to create his own path to invincibility!
So Lu Jing carried out his plan unswervingly, and no one could stop him from implementing his plan.

Under Lu Jing's strong pressure, the various tribes that remained in Japan began to dismantle the factories in Japan and relocate a large number of people out or transfer them to steel warships.

To help Lu Jing complete his plan.

King Zheng Long even brought out a precious Kunpeng treasure from his family’s ancestral land in Nanyang.

There is a cave in the Kunpeng treasure. Although it is not circular, it is no problem for millions of people to live there for a short period of time.

Most of these Japanese were temporarily settled in Southeast Asia.

The sudden increase in population in Nanyang gave Zheng Longwang and Shi Hainu, who were responsible for settling these people, a lot of headaches.

King Zheng Long concluded: "Sir, now Japan has been basically emptied out, and the workers have been placed on warships. Are they also being transported back to Southeast Asia?"

If Lu Jing regards Nanyang as a place for his rise, then the Zheng family will be true loyal followers!
As for whether Lu Jing would make Nanyang as prosperous as Japan... King Zheng Long was not worried at all.

Wasn’t Japan also built brick by brick by Lord Lu, and it only took five years?

Moving to Nanyang is just doing what you have done before.

And because of previous successful cases, King Zheng Long believed that they would rise faster this time.

But Lu Jing did not plan to choose Southeast Asia as the resettlement location.

Lu Jing said in the Governor's Mansion in Hagi City: "After all, Nanyang is located at the southernmost tip of Zhongzhou. Although the climate is good, there are miasma everywhere, and there are not many resources."

Everyone was curious: "So where are you going to choose?"

Lu Jing spread out a huge geographical map in the study of the Governor's Mansion. He looked around and circled a place: "Here."

Everyone looked intently and suddenly realized that it was "Jianzhou"!
Jianzhou is located at the northern end of Zhongzhou.

Part of Jianzhou's territory borders Zhongzhou in the north, separated by Shanhaiguan. After crossing Shanhaiguan, one can almost march straight down to the capital.

Further north of Jianzhou is the vast ice field.

The climate there is extremely harsh.

Especially in winter, when the biting cold wind blows, even steel can be frozen into powder.

Therefore, the only place in Jianzhou that could actually be habitable was the area near Shanhaiguan.

Elsewhere, cedar, ice fir and old-growth forests are covered year-round.

That vast, deep old forest... can eat people.

King Zheng Long and the others had no objection to Lu Jing's decision.

Lu Jing has long used his foresight to prove the correctness of his decision.

So Zheng Longwang and his men would attack wherever Lu Jing directed them.

But Cheng Fengxiao and other newly joined masters of literature and art proposed different ideas: "Mr. Lu, Jianzhou is now occupied by the Jianzhou Jurchens, Yehe, Ula, Huifa, Hada, and Mongolian Khorchin tribes."

"Those are all brave and warlike demon tribes."

"They have the advantage of location. If we want to gain a foothold there, I'm afraid we will have to pay a huge price."

"In comparison, the barbarians and foreigners in Southeast Asia are easier to conquer."

What Cheng Fengxiao and other three masters of literature said makes a lot of sense.

But Lu Jing stopped them with just one sentence: "The supreme master who survived my pursuit and hid in the Demon Saint Temple is a barbarian from the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe. And under my divine eyes, I still see that there is an evil dragon whose luck is echoing that of the supreme master, and it is about to rise."

"The next place that will determine the destiny of Zhongzhou is Jianzhou in Liaodong."

Lu Jing said firmly: "So I am determined to take Jianzhou."

After that, Lu Jing smiled and said, "Besides, when I was the governor-general of Dongying, I went to Jianzhou to inspect it."

"Although Jianzhou's territory is rich in pristine forests, the winter winds are fierce and cold."

"But there is also an endless vast plain, and on that plain is extremely fertile black soil."

“And there are many mineral resources buried in various places in Jianzhou.”

"It even has access to the sea! It's perfect for us to relocate our new home there."

As he spoke, Lu Jing looked at the map behind him and said, "At the beginning, I was appointed as the Governor-General of Dongying. It was with the authorization and support of Dayu that we have today's Dongying. So if the Dayu court wants to take Dongying back, I have nothing to say."

"But as long as we take down Jianzhou!"

Lu Jing slapped the map and said, "From now on, no one can drive us away!"
