Chapter 140: So What If You Are the Target of Public Criticism (700+ Subscriptions)

"The Song Dynasty has deployed troops on the northwest border, and an invasion is imminent at any time!"

"The Great Jin Dynasty is ready to make a move in the north and has already started to raid the valleys!"

"Even the Heili Dynasty in the west has called on us to stop our invasion and return to our own territory."

……

Dozens of days later, when he went to court again, Lu Changjing received these messages that came like snowflakes.

As if overnight, the Daning Dynasty became the target of public criticism and was opposed by many dynasties, imperial dynasties, barbarians and indigenous peoples, who had even begun to take action.

In addition, the southwest is at war with the Blood Barbarians, the southeast is fighting the Sakura natives, and the northeast has also invaded the territory of the Universal Dynasty. At this moment, the Da Ning Dynasty can be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

However, Lu Changjing knew clearly that the reason for this was that the surrounding forces were accustomed to the weakness and retreat of the Daning Dynasty.

Now that such a strong attack power has been suddenly revealed, these forces are a little overwhelmed, so they have erupted with such a big reaction.

The source was that the Daning Dynasty fought back against the invasion of the Blood Barbarians and the Sakura Bandits, which led to a series of consequences afterwards.

But if I don’t do this, will I always be a coward and be bullied by the many forces around me?

Ning Tianbao and Ning Zhongyu could tolerate this kind of thing, but he couldn't, especially as his cultivation level was getting higher and higher. Now, in terms of cultivation level alone, he was probably the number one in the surrounding countries.

His spirit, energy and soul were all promoted to the grandmaster level. At least no practitioner in the surrounding countries could do this.

Faced with attacks from so many forces, whether they were the peace faction, the war faction or the neutral faction, all looked solemn, not knowing what to do next.

Lu Changjing didn't take it seriously. With his strength and golden finger, this little bit of wind and rain was nothing.

The worst that could happen is that some of his territory would be swallowed up. Once he is promoted to the realm of gods and demons, he will be able to take back everything he has lost.

Even if he cannot be promoted to a god or demon through normal means, if he is given a few decades, his body cultivation can be forcibly improved to the level of gods and demons by relying on his immortal demon body.

The body-refining gods and demons are also nearly invincible among gods and demons of the same level.

Looking at the worried court officials below, Lu Changjing had a calm expression, as if he was standing firm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. "It's just another unrest on the border. Ask Northwest King Yue Yunfei if his Guiwei Army can resist. If they can, the matter of dealing with the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and the Heili Dynasty will be left to him."

"As for military expenses, you all know my situation. I can only raise half of it at most, and he needs to figure out the rest. If Yue Yunfei is not sure, then he can just hold on to Tianmen Pass and not go into battle."

"I will follow your majesty's orders." Minister of War Lou Guangzhi stepped out and saluted, then agreed.

After dealing with this most important matter, other things became much simpler and were quickly handled. Lu Changjing immediately withdrew from the court and returned to the imperial study to continue his practice.

After receiving the news from Bai Yujing, Northwest King Yue Yunfei did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to go into battle.

He then personally led an army of 300,000 Guiwei soldiers, galloped hundreds of miles overnight, and attacked Luling River, a key troop station of the Song Dynasty. In one battle, he killed tens of thousands of Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, frightening the Song Dynasty army so much that it retreated hundreds of miles and dared not approach the northwestern border.

Afterwards, Yue Yunfei led the Guiwei Army and the Tianmen Army to block the Jin army that had invaded the Daning Dynasty in Daning's territory and devoured them completely. The two battles decided the outcome. In just half a month, Northwest King Yue Yunfei resolved the crisis on the border and shocked the surrounding countries.

The Heili Dynasty had fled long ago when Yue Yunfei blocked the Jin army, and dared not approach the border of Daning again, which made Yue Yunfei quite regretful. He had originally wanted to take this opportunity to get some good things from the Heili Dynasty.

The Guiwei Army and the Tianmen Army are good at attack and defense respectively, with a total of one million soldiers, and have also been preparing for war for many years.

Although Ning Tianbao and Ning Zhongyu are a little bit spineless, they have good vision. The generals and princes stationed in various frontiers are all capable.

If not for this, based on what the two had done over the years, Daning would have probably lost most of its territory long ago instead of maintaining its original territory.

Lu Changjing had never imagined that the victory news from the northwestern frontier would come so quickly. The war was over before the supplies he asked Tan's Trading Company to transport arrived at the northwestern frontier.

If Lu Changjing had not asked Yue Yunfei to take the initiative to attack, he might have already entered the territory of the Heili Dynasty.

You should know that before this, Lu Changjing had already prepared to lose part of the territory, but he did not expect that not only did he not lose any territory, but instead he forced two major dynasties and a large dynasty to flee in fear and give up many of the areas he had previously occupied.

Lu Changjing immediately issued an imperial decree to bestow generous rewards. Knowing that Yue Yunfei was the most filial, he conferred the title of First-Rank Lady on his mother, and also gave her various other rewards.

Fortunately, the glass products business has been booming these days, otherwise he would not be able to raise even the military expenses, let alone rewards.

Thanks to the business capabilities of the Tan Company, in just a few months, Lu Changjing earned more than tens of millions of taels of silver from glass products alone, greatly making up for the emptiness of the royal secret treasury and the national treasury.

Of course, all this silver went into Lu Changjing's pocket and did not fall into the royal secret treasury or the national treasury, so he had absolute control over it.

Although a lot of taxes have been collected these days, many of them have been sent to Ning Tianbao and Ning Zhongyu. Now is not the time to break off relations with them.

However, Lu Changjing also caused Cao Wenzhen, Jin Longyu and others to owe a lot of money, so there are now tens of millions of taels of silver in the royal secret treasury and the national treasury.

There are also a lot of other extraordinary resources. Although they are not as much as Lu Changjing's personal wealth, they can still cover some daily expenses.

When Ning Zhongyu and Ning Tianbao are captured later, Lu Changjing will make them spit out as much as they have eaten, leaving nothing behind.

Now we are just leaving these resources and treasures with the two of them, and we will get them back sooner or later.

People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. After the pressure from the northwestern frontier was relieved, Lu Changjing also felt a lot more relaxed.

In addition, there were continuous reports of good news from the other three frontiers, so he had even less to worry about and could focus on his practice.

"Um……"

With a muffled groan, Lu Changjing enjoyed the sweetness of Qingqiu Xiaoyu and the coolness of the Nine Yin Qi. The Yang Cangshu and the Two Yang Qi in his body were improving and growing at a terrifying speed, and it seemed that he had reached a bottleneck.

Considering the unrest that might be caused after the breakthrough, Lu Changjing didn't dare to let the charming Qingqiu Xiaoyu stay here any longer, so he sent her out with red and swollen lips.
