"Success!" Cao Xiulan finally put down her pen and looked at the song in front of her, which was heroic, brave, full of exploration and passion, and full of yearning for the future.
Life never stops, struggle never ceases. When she put down the last stroke, even Cao Xiulan was a little amazed - she could actually create such a heroic song one day!
"Good!" Xie Yuhua praised it after reading it. "You guys rehearse immediately, I'll send the manuscript to the wise king first."
Xie Yuhua did not dare to delay at all and went to find Li Xian with the manuscript. At this time, Li Xian was asking Xu Ren, Yan Ze'an and others to start planning the military parade.
Even generals such as Yan Zhengqing and Beichen Yuqing participated in the planning. The military parade plan made the entire Shang Kingdom excited. The upper class was busy and the ordinary people were looking forward to it.
The representatives from the surrounding countries, on the other hand, seemed somewhat bewildered and flustered... their emotions were so tangled that they were about to become a ball of wool.
The Shang Kingdom did not respond to the requests of various countries to "buy land"; not only that, the Shang Kingdom was preparing for a military parade, and at the same time, it was reported that the Shang Kingdom would also include the land of the Huang Kingdom in its rule. Yuan Yong had already started to make arrangements.
Strong, extremely strong! And justified!
During this period, the armies of the Shang Kingdom and the Shao Kingdom had some "contact", and then the Shao Kingdom temporarily withdrew.
In addition, Gongsun Wushang personally led thousands of officials from the Ministry of Justice to rectify Qi. The rest of the officials of the Shang Kingdom also began to move to Qi one after another. The officials who had once served in Qi were temporarily dismissed and awaited review.
Now, Yuan Yong and Li Yuanming worked together to rectify the political situation in Qi.
The tough measures taken by the Shang Kingdom made the surrounding countries look at each other in bewilderment. Something was not right! What was the Shang Kingdom trying to do
But for the citizens of the Shang Kingdom, this was something to be thankful for - I will not offend others unless they offend me, but I will fight to the death if they offend me! The Shang Kingdom really did it, and the Qi State was destroyed.
While the envoys from various countries were discussing endlessly, Li Xian was very happy. "Sure enough, we must be strong. Being strong can show that we are not guilty. Instead, various countries have gradually accepted the current situation. However, we cannot relax yet. The countries have begun to form alliances to fight against the Shang Kingdom together."
Xu Ren shook his feather fan. "The war between Liu and Jin has not ended yet. We will continue to support Liu in the war. In addition, the eldest prince of Lu has returned, officially as a big businessman, and wants to buy arms from us. It just so happens that we can transfer a large amount of arms to Lu through Qi, bypassing Liu and Jin. In addition, we have also broken through the possible encirclement in the west. Now we border Wu, Rong, Shao, Baishan, Xing, and Lu in the west, and the trade route is completely opened. Now, support Yue to attack Wu, open up a second battlefield, and form a dumping ground for arms and industrial products. The Kingdom of Shang is about to usher in a new outbreak period!"
Li Xian stood up and looked at his own Kingdom of Shang, and suddenly he was filled with pride. After a series of wars, battles, and arrangements, the Kingdom of Shang had become a great power bordering nine countries, with trade routes all around it, and no longer afraid of blockades from any country.
The Shang Kingdom was even like a dam, blocking the north and south of Yingzhou in the east, and became a must-pass place for north-south transportation.
