The most widely circulated rumor is that the Land of the Rising Sun is protected by the gods, and that anyone who invades the Land of the Rising Sun will inevitably suffer severe revenge.
There were such rumors when we failed for the first time, but many people scoffed at them and ignored them.
When it failed for the second time, the rumor spread very widely and many people heard it.
I don't believe such rumors at all, and even many aristocratic families don't believe them.
Daxia had been established for many years, but soon after its establishment, everyone's attitude towards it was shattered, and no one knew how many people were killed.
Many wealthy families in the southeastern coastal area still have relevant records from that time. They are not afraid of them at all and even want to kill one or two of them.
For ordinary people, the saying of blessing may be spread, but for the real strong ones, blessing is a joke.
But now such rumors have spread extremely widely. I know that there must be the work of spies from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, but the corresponding people from the aristocratic families must have not taken any action in secret.
Normally, it would take an ordinary person at the top level to control public opinion related to the start of a war. They would not receive so much information at all. If someone deliberately spreads relevant battlefield news, they will definitely be arrested and killed at the first time.
The news was able to spread so widely, perhaps someone wanted to play the long game and catch some spies from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
But the more likely possibility is that after two consecutive failures, the top families on the southeast coast can no longer suppress the many people from the small and medium-sized families below.
After all, in two consecutive wars, these small and medium-sized families sent elite personnel to capture cities and territories, making them pay so much twice in a row without any gains.
The people from the top families are willing to obtain the method of Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake at all costs, but these small and medium-sized families are not so willing.
At that time, the top aristocratic families must have made them many promises. If they captured the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, they would definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
They may not be able to obtain the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake, and even if they did, it would not have much effect. After all, it requires too many top-notch spiritual objects and treasures, and even many powerful subsequent experiments to verify it.
But now there is no benefit, so of course I don’t want to do it.
To put it simply, if a top-notch family loses the support of its members, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Perhaps even among the top wealthy families, some people have started to back off.
After all, anyone with eyes could see clearly that Daxia was deliberately letting them wade into this muddy water to consume their strength. The southeastern coast had been prosperous for hundreds of years and it could be said to be a fertile land where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.
The top local wealthy families are extremely powerful. The imperial court has always wanted to intervene, but has no way to do so.
Even the large number of people who passed the civil service examination every year were provided by wealthy families in the southeast coast.
Their families were so wealthy that they had the priority to select a large number of talented people for study before the court.
Then give these literati enough benefits in advance, so that even if they pass the imperial examinations later, they will still have close ties with their local families.
After all, their family has no way to move out of the southeastern coastal area, so the southeastern coastal area is impregnable.
They don't need to be too partial, they just need to enforce the law impartially, and the southeastern coastal areas will become more and more solid.
The imperial court had no way of intervening.
Some people hid behind, waiting for Daxia to mobilize its troops, wanting to use Daxia as the main force to attack the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
After all, they initially thought that the Kingdom of the Rising Sun was a soft persimmon. For so many years, the Kingdom of the Rising Sun had been acting like a grandson, respecting people in the southeast coastal areas and Daxia at all times.
Now it seems that they can't chew this hard bone, so let Daxia be the vanguard.
Seeing that the overall situation had reached a deadlock, I didn't want things to fail, so I specifically obtained relevant information from Qi Guangji and Yu Zhifu.
The ocean between the Kingdom of the Sunrise and Daxia is indeed not too far away, there is only a sea area, but this sea area is full of twists and turns, and there is a terrible formation with corrosive gases and raindrops in the formation.
If it falls on a ship, it can corrode the ship and poison many people.
It is indeed quite tricky.
There were two consecutive waves of attempts, and the opponent had not yet displayed such a powerful magic circle in the first wave.
There was no poison or toxic rain in the first wave of the storm, and many people simply thought that the failure was caused by the unpredictable storms at sea.
The second wave of organizations learned from the lessons of the previous round, and some people specifically found top figures who were proficient in Taoism and magic arrays and could call the wind and rain.
Among them are figures from both Buddhism and Taoism, as well as Confucianists who are good at drawing a prison on the ground and calling the wind and rain.
But this time they still suffered a tragic defeat. They didn't even see the enemy's army before they were submerged in the sea by the storm.
"I searched the records from that year in the relevant secret records, and there are big problems. During the glorious period of Daxia, we also tried to go out to sea, once again continuing the glory of Taizu and searching for related fairy islands and top spiritual objects overseas.
"At the same time, we wanted to allow those who had been stranded overseas and lost their education to return to Daxia and bask in the cultural glory of Daxia. However, that round still ended in failure. We went out to sea three times in a row, and all three times we were defeated."
"That magic circle seems to be a huge barrier formed naturally, not some kind of blessing from the gods."
Yu Zhifu's expression also became solemn, which was rare.
Neither he, Qi Guangji, nor Daxia had ever taken this overseas island country seriously before. After all, this island country has always been humble and seemed insignificant.
