Chapter 907: A thousand-mile embankment destroyed by an ant hole

"Ziya, tell me about the situation during this period!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Jiang Shang saluted respectfully, he began to report to Lu Fan in detail about the situation inside and outside Daqian during this period.

As Jiang Shang reported in great detail, Lu Fan's smile became more and more intense.

Daqian did not do anything else during this period, just two words, that is, integration.

Because the emperors and royal family members of the major dynasties were either destroyed or completely controlled.

So there was no difficulty in integration, and they cooperated very well, and directly opened up all the borders.

As for the original passes, they were not demolished, but used as some military passes.

After all, these passes were all set up in relatively important places, and it was best to use them for garrison training.

The only obstacle to integration was some forces within the major dynasties.

Those forces did not cooperate at first, and even secretly made trouble to hinder integration.

More importantly, these forces united to spread rumors and incited the people and monks in the major dynasties to resist.

But when Daqian's expansion army united with the legions in the major dynasties to successively destroy more than a dozen forces and massacre more than 100,000 people.

The forces in the major dynasties immediately became obedient, all cooperating with the fusion and not daring to do anything.

Especially after the news of Daqian sweeping across the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou spread, the fusion progress was surprisingly fast.

Coupled with the heaven-defying effect of the primary soul control technique, all dynasties have completed the initial fusion.

Although the initial fusion was completed, the common people and cultivators of the major dynasties still regarded themselves as their own dynasties.

After all, this is a fusion of more than a dozen dynasties. It is obviously impossible to make them recognize and integrate into Daqian from the bottom of their hearts in a short period of time.

Not only ordinary common people and cultivators, but also many forces in the major dynasties are the same.

However, under the deterrence of Daqian, these guys dared not to be angry and could only cooperate obediently.

But if there is any disturbance in Daqian in the future, these guys will definitely make trouble secretly.

When he heard this, Lu Fan pondered and thought.

Because this is indeed a problem, and it is a problem that must be faced, and it is also very serious.

As the saying goes, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole.

These seemingly insignificant problems, if left unattended, will become fatal problems in the future.

Soon, the huge power was destroyed by some small problems that were usually ignored.

Especially the speed of Daqian's expansion was too fast, and the speed of integration was too fast.

For the time being, these countless small and medium-sized forces did not dare to have any ideas because they were afraid of Daqian's power.

But if Daqian encounters any strong enemies in the future, then these guys are likely to unite to make trouble inside Daqian, and work with the enemy to deal a heavy blow to Daqian.

There are too many such examples in the history of the previous life, so we have to be on guard.

At this moment, various coping methods came up in his mind.

But he did not say it directly to interrupt Jiang Shang's narration, but continued to listen.

These are some bad problems that appeared in Daqian after the integration.

Of course, in addition to these bad problems, there are naturally good sides.

The good side is that since Daqian's rapid expansion, more and more cultivators have come to Daqian.

Not to mention other places, just Daqian Imperial City has at least increased by hundreds of thousands of cultivators, and it is still increasing.

Now, almost all the inns and restaurants in the imperial capital are full, and there is almost no vacant room.

Because the emperor of Daqian charges an entrance fee, the entrance fee alone has collected an astronomical amount during this period.

There is also a very important point.

That is, the many cultivators who gathered in Daqian and the original civilian cultivators of Daqian all want to join the Daqian army very strongly.

Although Daqian does not recruit soldiers now, there are too many cultivators who want to become a part of the Daqian army.

At this point, Jiang Shang smiled and said: "Recently, many civil officials and military generals in the court have found me, wanting me to contact your majesty to consider the establishment of a new army."

Hearing Jiang Shang say this, Lu Fan began to ponder.

Now that Daqian has merged and annexed more than a dozen dynasties, the military force has directly reached 20 to 30 million.

However, most of these 20 to 30 million soldiers are cultivators with no cultivation or body forging cultivation, accounting for nearly half.

And these nearly half of the soldiers are actually of no use to Daqian today.

After all, all these legion soldiers come from the major dynasties, and the strength and resources of the major dynasties are very limited.

So they can only recruit such ordinary soldiers.

If they are just wary of the major dynasties, that is enough, the advantage of numbers is there.

But now that I control the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou and want to expand outward, these ordinary soldiers with no cultivation are useless.

After all, if you want to go to the other eight Shenzhous to fight, you must have soldiers above the Condensation Realm at the worst.

I can summon a legion, but the number of legions I summon is limited.

It is impossible to march to the other eight Shenzhous on a large scale.

So I must still recruit local cultivators to form a legion, and the number of legions must not be small.

But this puts a new problem in front of me.

That is, the formation of a new legion requires a huge amount of resources, and the amount of this resource is extremely huge.

After all, those cultivators may be excited by Daqian's crazy expansion and want to join in.

But if you want them to stay wholeheartedly, you must rely on real money.

After all, they also need cultivation resources to practice.

So a certain amount of spirit stones and elixirs must be issued every month as rewards.

And if you want to recruit cultivators above the Condensation Realm, the spirit stones and elixirs issued every month must not be less.

If the amount issued is too small, they will definitely not stay willingly, nor will they do things seriously.

It is precisely because of this that the major top forces never form legions on a large scale.

Because such consumption is too great, no force can afford it for a long time.

After all, once a legion is formed, it must be maintained for a long time, not just a short period of time.

But Daqian is different from ordinary forces.

If Daqian wants to become an invincible dynasty, it must form many invincible legions to ensure that there are enough troops when fighting external wars.

However, compared with other forces, he has an advantage that they cannot match, that is, soul control.

He can use soul control to ensure the loyalty of all soldiers, and the only thing he needs to worry about is resources.

The problem of resources seems simple, but it is the most difficult for him.

After all, he also needs to recycle a large amount of resources to gain points.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a situation that he had overlooked...
