"The Farmer's Fat Wife" - Fat Men Are All Potential Stocks (Twenty-Eight...)

The general expectation of this war is that the two major powers will fight each other to the bitter end so that the warmakers can profit from the conflict, not that one will quickly annex the other.

Seeing this, the Sandbar King was instantly energized and immediately raised an army to attack the homeland of the Greenwood Kingdom.

But the problem is, if you can't defeat Manichaeism, can't you at least defeat yourself? Don't you have any self-awareness?

There was no need for the Qingmu Army to return to defend; the garrison of Huyi and Erzhou was sufficient to handle the situation. When Shazhou Tianwang led his main force, he was chased several miles away by the garrison of Huyi and Erzhou, shocking everyone.

The Qingmu Kingdom's super-powerful navy, which had been gathered along the coastal border, did not even move. Xiangzhou, a loyal ally of the Qingmu Kingdom, began to attack Shu and seize territory, thus tying down the government troops.

The protagonist, who was looking forward to seeing how his allies would perform, was shocked. What was going on? Could it be that his allies couldn't even get Aoki's army to come back and defend?

The performance of the allied forces shocked everyone. If hard tactics didn't work, they would try soft ones. The Yellow Soil Army also wanted to stir up some internal strife in Aoki.

Sowing discord is a common tactic. Ye Xiqing instigated internal strife within Huangrang, and of course, there were others instigating internal strife within her country as well.

Ye Xiqing led the army into battle, leaving all state affairs to the model prime minister Wu Xuedi, and King He Lue Hua Qiyue.

It seems unlikely that they could be instigated. One rose from humble beginnings to be promoted by Aoki Tenno, while the other is the designated heir to the throne.

Anyone could turn against them, but it's unlikely that the two of them will.

Those who were causing trouble set their sights on the eldest brother of the Hua family, who should have been the rightful heir to everything, but due to a drastic change in customs, was instead placed last in line.

The target was chosen correctly, but is this a joke? Hua Qiyue is still alive. If they cause trouble like this, who will be the first to get angry?

Brother Hua, a man with no involvement in military or political affairs, dares to stand against Hua Qiyue, who holds great power.

Hua Qiyue planted more spies around Brother Hua than she sent to enemy countries.

Ye Xiqing led his army deep into enemy territory alone, without any concern for his rear. If something went wrong in the rear, he would have to start over.

Every time they conquered a place, they distributed land to the people, recruited new people, and abandoned the elders of each place. As a result, women from all over came to join them.

A common explanation is that ancient armies did not allow women to participate because war kills people, and women needed to be protected.

But Ye Xiqing felt that this was the same as the saying that women in ancient times were very fortunate, did nothing, stayed at home and were wealthy wives, while men did everything outside and supported women.

They've confined you to your home, yet they expect you to do nothing; they've stripped you of your weapons, yet they expect you to be protected.

Slave owners exploit slaves to provide them with a comfortable life, while enemies take away their weapons to protect themselves—quite a strange line of thinking.

It turns out that those who lose power are more likely to enjoy life without working than those who seize power, and those without weapons are better able to protect themselves than those with weapons. After living for so long, this is the first time I've truly understood the rules of this world.

Therefore, Ye Xiqing did not refuse to let women join the army because of "protection".

Having weapons means facing the threat of the enemy directly, but without weapons, the threat from one's own people also arises.

Upon arriving at each new location, Ye Xiqing would recruit new members. The female soldiers would receive the best weapons and equipment and undergo professional military formation training. Some of the old soldiers would remain to guard the city, while the new soldiers would be mentored by the old soldiers, creating a mix of old and new personnel as they headed to the new battlefield.

The hallmark of human evolution is the use of tools; armor, shields and spears, and a group of comrades provide the best protection.

In this way, the old and the new alternated, and the Aoki Army always had fresh blood, growing stronger with each battle, while the protagonist and his Jiangdong elders retreated more and more.

In Greek mythology, there was a hero whose mother, the Earth Goddess, out of love for her son, blessed him with eternal power as long as he never left the land.

But sorry, the earth has come to life and can run on its own now.

The male protagonist was besieged for three months and still couldn't find a way to break the siege. The soldiers and civilians in the city couldn't take it anymore. Taking advantage of the male protagonist's inattention, they tied him up, opened the city gate, and presented him to Ye Xiqing.

You've got the person you wanted! Now can you let us go?

Haha, Ye Xiqing couldn't help but laugh; she hadn't expected to actually receive a gift.

He readily accepted the offer, and led his army into this ancient capital that had been captured and conquered by several dynasties, gazing upon the magnificent architecture of the imperial palace.

The former imperial palace has been occupied and looted several times, and much of it has been destroyed. Only some of the carved beams and painted rafters that could not be moved tell the story of its former glory.

Ye Xiqing walked up the high steps and looked at the exquisitely decorated dragon throne. When the first wave of rebel troops captured the throne, they couldn't move it, so they scraped all the gold and silver treasures off it.

After Huangrang Tianwang occupied the capital, he probably also had the ambition to dominate the world, so he ordered people to regild it, and now it all benefited Ye Xiqing.

I touched the golden dragon head, and then somehow, without realizing it, I sat down. Maybe I was too tired.

Look at the mess this has made, all for just one chair.

Her generals were also visiting the palace for the first time, and their eyes were full of surprise. Upon seeing this, they were first stunned, then burst into laughter and immediately shouted "Long live the Emperor!" to her all at once, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.

Ye Xiqing stroked the exquisite dragon head on the armrest, quite satisfied, and began to ponder how much gold it could contain.

After checking in at the dragon throne, she wanted money even more than the chair itself.

Zhu Niangzi and Hua Qiyue remained stationed in their old stronghold, while Ye Xiqing directly took control of the old capital.

The male protagonist's main force of old troops were stripped of their armor and weapons, dispersed and reorganized into households, and returned to farming.

War expenditures are enormous, but they are not entirely negative. The advantage lies in the fact that war can sustain itself, and once victorious, everything is possible.

The captured weapons and equipment became their own directly, saving them the trouble of secondary processing. This finally brought the large area of ​​mineral resources that Ye Xiqing had been coveting into his hands.

From now on, we can mine the coal and iron resources we want ourselves.

The Yellow Rang Kingdom attacked too quickly this time, unlike before when they were taking their time. So they had to deal with the old and former members of the Yellow Rang army. Ye Xiqing specially hosted a banquet to entertain Han Mu'e, the daughter of the Yellow Rang Heavenly King.

Why not entertain her two brothers? It's a woman's banquet; men have no right to attend.

Han Mu'e has recently experienced unimaginable blows. First, her brother was captured, then her father passed away, and her husband was the prime suspect in the murder of her father. Then, her country was destroyed by her "love rival".

Each one was an unbearable burden, but at the new master's banquet, he could only force a smile and thank King Aoki for sparing his life.

Ye Xiqing found it very interesting, and she almost wanted to choreograph a few songs and dances about the Yellow Soil Kingdom, asking her if she still missed the Yellow Soil Kingdom.

Forget it, let's not leave any room for future generations to create a saying. Let's just directly confer the title of Marquis of Anle upon Han Mu'e.

Huaizhou is now home to new schools that teach advanced knowledge. Her daughter is learning outdated things in the old-fashioned areas, so it would be better for her to go to Huaizhou for further studies.

The Great Chen family originally belonged to her, and it is only right that it should be returned to its original owner.

However, it is not good to take away someone else's love. The Great Chen family has a younger brother who is gentle in nature and has talent and looks that are no less than the Great Chen family. He is specially betrothed to the Marquis of Anle.

Now, you and I, the Chen brothers, each occupy one of them.

I hope that Marquis Anle will not harbor any resentment towards her because of this.

Han Mu'e: ...

Something seems off about this scene.

Most of what Ye Xiqing said was beyond Han Mu'e's expectations, except for the matter of asking her daughter to go to Huaizhou as a hostage, which made her hesitate.

But there's no other way now. With Aoki Tenno's army in her hands, everyone's life is in her hands. Who can refuse? They can only submit.

As for the male lead, her feelings for him were already complicated. First, she felt some weariness, then she felt some hatred after misunderstanding that he had killed her father, and then she felt some regret after clearing up the misunderstanding.

She's a bit unsure how to face the male lead now, and therefore doesn't know how to handle his problems.

I don't know how to face it, maybe it's better not to face it...

Everything ended happily, and Han was obedient. Only Hua Qiyue had some questions and wrote a letter asking: Are you really going to take that man as a concubine?

Ye Xiqing knew what she was thinking, so she performed a safe surgery on the male lead to reassure her, explaining that he would only take her as a concubine and not have children with her.

Hua Qiyue immediately clarified: That's not what she meant!

But is this for real or fake? She was starting to doubt her own thoughts. What exactly happened between Hua Sanyue and Chen Jia Dalang back then?

What could it be? She's deeply in love. She's so deeply in love that she rekindled her old flame and is now committed to a lifelong, devoted relationship.

Ye Xiqing had been very slow in her military campaigns before, but after conquering Huangrang Kingdom, she changed completely and sent people to rapidly expand her territory.

Ye Xiqing personally led the expeditions every time they attacked territory, partly because the forces were small in the early stages, and partly because the opposing side had the male protagonist.

The male lead is in the opposing camp. If the female lead doesn't personally take charge of the central army and try to ward off bad luck, how dare she? This world truly has a heavenly order protecting the chosen ones.

Now that the male lead has been added to her harem and become her lucky charm, it's fine.

I hope Heaven understands that she and the male lead are bound together; only when she is well can the male lead be well.

You know who the male lead's luck should go to, right?

Eliminating a major threat allows you to give your subordinates a chance to shine. Small factions can rely on strong leadership, but large factions should not rely too much on individual abilities.

Otherwise, a situation like the Yellow Soil Army would occur, where the protagonist quickly gained momentum through his personal abilities, but was quickly dispersed due to being too conspicuous and being targeted by concentrated fire.

Relying solely on personal ability is never reliable; genius is rare and hard to come by; concentrating all your safety and risk on one point is dangerous.

Rather than hoping for a few exceptional talents to lead everyone to victory, it's better to hope for a balanced team that, even if it falters in one area, won't lose the entire game.

Ye Xiqing has always preferred to believe in luck rather than the theory of genius.

Because she knows how much of her life has been a fluke.

Putting myself in others' shoes, she may seem like a genius to outsiders, but in the eyes of a genius, might she also feel a little guilty, knowing the path she came from?

Rather than geniuses, most people are probably good at something. Some are physically agile and good at sports, while others are quick-witted and good at thinking.

Those who excel, in their preferred positions, and with a bit of luck, can become geniuses.

If we give more opportunities to those who are good at something, we will have many geniuses.

Ye Xiqing was stationed in Xindu, where he reorganized the newly acquired territory and then launched attacks to seize more land.

Even when the Green Wood Kingdom was confined to a corner of the country, it was no match for them. Now that it has annexed the Yellow Soil Kingdom, it is even more powerful and they are even less likely to be defeated.

Previously, the idea of ​​restoring women's lives was promoted in Aoki Country and was even called a taboo subject, not allowed to be spoken of openly.

With the territory of the Aoki Kingdom spread everywhere, other forces were no longer worried that women would become disobedient after accepting heretical doctrines, but rather that women would rebel upon hearing the slogans of the Aoki Kingdom.

Forces are reciprocal. If you're worried about men rebelling against women's rights, you should also be worried about women rebelling against men's rights.

When the momentum was initially weak, the men denounced Aoki Country for being improper, while the women remained silent.

After the men raised their voices a bit, they continued to spout nonsense, and the women immediately opened their eyes and said, "What are you talking about, you old man!"

Then, women in the occupied territories began to speculate.

Previously, when speculating on currencies, those who succeeded either succeeded or failed, simply hoping to gain an advantage by following the lead of others.

This world is never short of speculators. With the addition of speculators, the banner of returning to the rightful life of women burns ever brighter until it spreads to every corner.

In the seventh year, news came that the old emperor had surrendered and the old dynasty had come to an end. Ye Xiqing was already forty-six years old at that time.

Hua Chengsi, who used to dislike studying, has grown into a young woman and came to Xindu with the Huaizhou team.

All eyes were on her, and Ye Xiqing stood up amidst the attention.

Becoming emperor at forty-six isn't too late, is it?

-----------------------

Author's Note: Alright, welcome the Azure Emperor to the throne. This world is roughly finished, with only a little wrap-up. I'd like to take a break from writing this.

We agreed beforehand that if we invited them in the last world, we wouldn't invite them in the next world; we'd finish it in one go.

But I don't know who predicted it so accurately, asking the author whether they were writing drafts or taking a break, and you were right, the author really did take a break last holiday [laughing and crying].

So next time, I'll ask for another week. I'll decide how many days to ask for after I wake up tomorrow [doge].

Isn't it a coincidence? Just when I was thinking of asking for leave, yesterday was Wednesday, which happened to be the day the application process was cancelled. It was fate!

Forget it, I won't argue anymore. I'll give out red envelopes in this chapter, and I'll do it at 9 a.m. the next day [covering face and peeking].

Then the last world will be a world of cultivation, yes, there is a world of cultivation! This story will come to a complete end in the next world!
