Duan Tianming was busy, and Zhao Yuqing in the northern mountains was even busier.
The Shenqi Kingdom obtained the military unit card, but the entire Shenqi Kingdom only has a direct population of nearly 300,000. This population was initially unified by gradually condensing the believers of the surrounding city-states since the Luji Kingdom copy.
Compared with those spiritual races with a population of less than 100,000 or more than 100,000, the population of Shenqi Country may be quite large, but Zhao Yuqing, as a god of the ordinary human race, obviously does not think that his own population can have a foothold in the fantasy continent.
In that giant divine domain, there are often countries with populations of millions. Just passing through the area she has her eyes on, there are many countries with populations of over a million. It is impossible for the Shenqi Kingdom, with a population of less than 300,000, to truly gain a foothold in the fantasy continent.
Its own foundation is not stable, and it is impossible to achieve it even under the logic of this era of gods. Even with the help of Yan Country, it has gained a foothold in the fantasy continent, but it is still impossible to achieve stable development.
Therefore, at the current time, all the goals of Shenqi Kingdom are focused on expansion. After receiving a batch of clothing and some daily necessities assistance from Yan Kingdom, Zhao Yuqing used all five military cards in his hand. By using the muskets that were gradually being phased out from Yan Kingdom and the cannons that were purchased at a high price, Shenqi Kingdom quickly formed three firearm armies with a total of 30,000 people, and combined the original Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with the 10,000 White Horse Volunteers in the newly purchased military cards to form a cavalry corps of more than 10,000 people.
As for cold weapon infantry, at this time when firearms were not yet mature, there was still a foundation for development. Combining the original Danyang Army and the newly purchased gold-level Bai'er elite soldiers, an infantry army of 10,000 people was formed.
By June of the seventh year of the Divine Realm, the small Shenqi Kingdom had an army of 50,000, and the ratio of military to civilians had reached 5:1.
This terrifying ratio of military to civilian is rare even among those spiritual races.
This basically means that more than half of the men of military age have joined the army. This system is basically the same as a military state, and it is an absolute blow to social production.
But for the people of Shenqi who are about to migrate, this does not seem to be a big deal. With the help of a large country like Yan State, the entire Shenqi State is naturally not at risk of collapse.
Duan Tianming couldn't help but admire Zhao Yuqing's organizational ability. The entire Shenqi Kingdom's belief in it had reached a terrifying level. Judging from the data from the God Realm, the proportion of its devout believers basically reached half of the total population, and fanatical believers also accounted for more than 10%, which was a proportion that was difficult to achieve in the God Realm.
All of this is closely related to Zhao Yuqing's blessing effect and emotional detection ability. In the case of blessing, using lifespan as an attraction, the faith of the entire Shenqi country is madly mobilized, and its basic blessing ability also has a very special influence on the superficial nature of the Shenqi people.
As long as you maintain a fanatical belief in this deity, you can improve your physical fitness a little.
And his ability to detect emotions was upgraded after he was promoted to the first level of a god, to the point where he could influence shallow consciousness to a certain extent.
This will enable her to use certain means to consolidate the faith of the entire kingdom of God.
After investigation, Duan Tianming expressed fear, thinking that this might be the true way of development of divine talent.
Yanyang City is less than 500 kilometers away from the capital of Shenqi Country, and the original capital Yuqing City is even less than 100 kilometers away. If this belief directly affects Yan Country, can it really resist it?
Fortunately, this god is a simple-minded one. After a long period of construction, the influence of his faith in Yan State has long been lost, unlike the opportunity when he first descended.
After entering the era of industrialization, gods will gradually lose their market in Yan Country.
In this way, with the help of Yan State, in August of the 7th year of Shenyu, Shenqi State began its expansion to the west. Wang Kun, the first general of Shenqi State, led the Shenqi State army to start the westward expedition.
This is a battle of faith. Due to the special nature of the God-Forsaken Continent, Zhao Yuqing is the only god left in the entire God-Forsaken Continent, while the faith of the original departed gods is still spreading, which has triggered a dispute of faith.
Of course, this is just an excuse to expand the population. Even if the Shenqi Kingdom has absorbed the nomadic population in the north in a few months, it still has no competitiveness as an ordinary human country in the fantasy continent with a population of just 300,000.
With Duan Tianming's tacit support, the expansion of Shenqi Kingdom began.
Zhao Yuqing was obviously very confident in her ability to absorb beliefs. She decisively ignored Duan Tianming's advice and believed that she could completely assimilate this group of people in a few years.
The 50,000-strong army marched westward in a mighty force. However, at that time, Yan State was busy with agricultural construction and had no time to help in the war, nor was it obligated to help.
The population in the west is very different in appearance from the entire Central Plains and the surrounding population. These people have blond hair and blue eyes. Although they speak the same language and have some coastal trade with Yan State, the Yan people are still quite resistant and unfamiliar with them because of their appearance.
Of course, this also includes Duan Tianming himself. Seeing these people integrating into their own country, he and the people of Yan country felt a sense of discomfort, which was even stronger than recruiting foreigners.
Aliens are aliens, and in the eyes of the Human Emperor, this group of people were like barbarians. They were driven to the west and were incompatible with the traditional Shang people.
In comparison, Yan Country currently has no motivation or reason to absorb these people. It would be better to wait until it reaches the fantasy continent and absorb more suitable people there. This group of people should be left to the gods who don't care about these things.
At the same time as the border war, its internal development gradually began under the guidance of Zhao Yuqing. The firearms aid originally discussed with Yan State arrived, internal firearms research talents began to be trained, and productivity and more food reserves obtained from trade with the Slime State were utilized. Literacy campaigns and religious activities for the internal people were gradually carried out.
The Shenqi Kingdom seems to have begun to move towards a fantastic divine kingdom system. The construction of this system has a standard template in the divine world, and it has been learned through countless divine kingdom experiments.
This is unimaginable for people under the Yan State system.
After countless blows, Zhao Yuqing's abilities are indeed steadily improving. At least in many aspects, the development of Shenqi Country is still good.
Of course, this does not take into account the assistance from Yan Country.
