Episode 310. A New Starting Point

Time passed quickly after the Battle of the Yangtze River, which had started around Dongting Lake, ended.

The victory in the war against Zhuge Liang brought about another transformation in Danggata.

They obtained the Yangtze River basin that flows from the southeastern part of Sichuan to Hubei Province.

Is that all?

After the war, he established friendly relations with Namgung Se-ga without worrying about what anyone thought, and when Nam Gwang-ro ascended to the position of general debtor, Dangga-ta was finally able to travel freely throughout the Yangtze River.

Although he could not be said to be the complete master, it was as if the Yangtze River, commonly called the world’s greatest river, had fallen into Danggata’s hands.

It was natural that the upper classes from all over would rush to form a relationship with Danggata.

By that time, Gongsun Cheng had expanded his government and started purchasing trade tickets, and soon after, he established and operated the Tangga Shipping Company in earnest.

With a vast commercial area in his hands, new business began to pour in every day and wealth overflowed.

* * *

The Samyangjeon of the Tanggata.

From the brothers who were entrusted with each branch of Sacheon to the vassals who supported the main family.

Cheonyeong felt good because it seemed like the Daejeon was filled with people who had been scattered all over the place finally gathering together.

“Are you expanding your territory?”

“okay.”

“But, we still haven’t completely taken over the Yangtze River basin… … .”

“It doesn’t matter. It will be quiet for a while after the war with Zhuge Se. You can slowly stabilize it.”

At Cheonyeong’s words, the attendants could only nod their heads, frowning.

That’s the current situation.

Sacheon formed an alliance and became stable, and the Yangtze River, which divided the Central Plains in half, came under the control of Nam Gwang-ro, who was like Cheonyeong’s older brother.

“You had Gangnam area in mind, right?”

“I know right.”

Cheonyeong nods his head at Gongsun Seung’s words.

As expected, he is quick-witted and smart.

How well he knows his own mind.

Sometimes I even thought that this guy might be the real power behind Dangkata.

“I thought it was a natural progression. The Jang Gang general debt holder changed to Nam Dae-hyeop, and the Namgung Se-ga became friendly… … like this.”

Gongsun Sheng points to the map of the Central Plains.

Those who followed the path drawn along the Yangtze River could not hide their proud expressions.

The current situation in the Central Plains.

The power of the world is divided into north and south by the Yangtze River.

The sects and families representing the Old School, the Five Great Martial Arts Schools, and the Four Great Martial Arts Schools.

Most of them are located north of the Yangtze River.

Although there are numerous small sects, strangely enough, there are no large sects in the Gangnam area.

There are seven regions in total: Guizhou, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang.

It’s almost half of the Central Plains.

“First, let’s create a branch in Guizhou Province.”

“Won’t the small breakwaters rebel?”

“What’s the objection? I’m just saying I’m going to create a branch.”

“Lies too… … . Isn’t it just a branch office?”

Gongsun Seung glared at Cheonyeong’s words with a smile.

What if Danggata, who won the battle against Zhuge Se, creates a branch?

People will flock there immediately, and the small breakwaters will have no choice but to lose their vested interests.

There are only two options to choose from.

Either side or fight.

“Are you by any chance planning to create branches in all seven regions of the South?”

“Is that right?”

“yes?”

“Honam has already established our branch by obtaining Dongjeongho. Starting with Guiju, we will establish branches in each region. We will now expand throughout the world.”

“Huh! Are you thinking of unifying the South right now?”

“What about unification? It’s just a branch office.”

“That’s nonsense… …. Who would think that? It’s not Ganyang’s Dangga-ta anymore. It’s Sacheon’s Dangga-ta.”

“Don’t nag me. Anyway, for now, let’s start with Guiju. Branch manager… … Baek Kang-ah, you do it.”

“Yes? Me?”

Dang Baek-gang, who was pointed out by Cheon-yeong, makes a surprised expression.

“Yeah, you.”

“Then what about the branch I’m in charge of now?”

“What can I do? Of course I should leave it to someone else.”

“Who is that other guy?”

Cheon-yeong frowns at Dang Baek-gang’s words.

“Should I decide that?”

“yes?”

“There must be some guys you’ve had while serving as branch manager. Just pick one of the smart ones and make him the branch manager.”

“… … .”

“Oh my, how long are you going to live passively like that? You, Inma, are no longer a vagabond or a lord of Hoyeon. You are one of the representative warriors of the Tang family.”

“That’s true, though.”

Dang Baek-gang scratches his head.

The kid still doesn’t deny it.

“Let’s make Baek Kang the branch manager of Guizhou Province, and first, select about 100 key personnel and create a branch.”

“yes.”

Dang Baek-gang sighed and answered.

“Yongcheon is in charge of the dark shadow, so Hwangsam and Chunil will assist Baekgang.”

“Yes? Us?”

“why?”

“No, but we’re in the same rank, so you’re asking me to assist you… .”

Dangsansam and Dangchunil grumble with gloomy expressions.

These… … have really grown a lot.

Those guys who used to do whatever they were told to do have gotten a little more bold.

I can’t scold them since they’re all grown up.

“Guys, think about it.”

“yes?”

“Where will you go next after Guizhou?”

“… … .”

“First, let’s help Baekgang and stabilize Guizhou, then move on to Guangxi and Guangdong. Shouldn’t we continue expanding?”

“Oh, then?”

“Literally managing the world! You guys should join us too.”

Only then did the two of them brighten up.

You’ve grown older, but you’re still a kid, a kid.

“Okay, then let’s start with Guizhou Castle first, and Lord Shingonggakju, please support everything necessary to establish a branch together with Lord Gongsun. Elder, please select the soldiers to be sent to the Guizhou branch.”

“yes.”

“All right.”

Shin Gong-gakju An Chil-gang and No Gwan-yeong answered politely.

“Haa, my work just keeps piling up again.”

Gongsun Seung grumbled.

Ignored it.

Because he’s the type of guy who grumbles a lot.

“But this time, you’re not going yourself?”

When Sang-Hwi, who was staying in the position of the head of the family while Yong-Cheon was in charge of the dark shadow, asked, Cheon-Young shook his head.

“I have something else to do.”

“What do you want to do?”

“Yeah. I can’t be ahead forever.”

“Hmm, so that means you’re at your parents’ house?”

“Huh? Why?”

“Just like that.”

The expression on Sang-Hwi’s face as he smiled bashfully was very suspicious.

What is this guy up to now… … .

I didn’t even have to think about it, I could tell right away what she was thinking.

“Sang-hwi.”

“yes?”

“You, Inma. Don’t say a word.”

“It’s time for you to decide. The two older sisters are only looking at you.”

“Who the hell is it?”

“Oh my? It seems like you’re the only one who doesn’t know what we all know?”

“what?”

Cheon-yeong gets angry because he knows that he is going to bring up the subject of wedding again, but the servants join in and say more.

“Well, it’s about time. When did you exceed the terms and conditions?”

“That’s right. It’s time to solidify the successor.”

“That is true, but I would be grateful if someone like So-Jeo Maeng or So-Jeo Namgung were there.”

“Well, there are people like that. It’s a shame for the lord.”

“… … .”

The guests began to chatter at the topic that suddenly came up.

Sigh, why is the topic of wedding coming up again in a meeting for the family’s great cause?

It’s all because of Sang-Hwi.

Anyway, be persistent.

“My lord, this time you must decide. Which of you two is it?”

“… … .”

“I don’t mind either of you. No, I don’t mind both of you.”

“What is everything?”

“Having two wives isn’t a flaw, is it? Some damn bastards have two or three concubines. Oh, concubines are not allowed! You know that, right? You’re both the first wife.”

Sang-Hwi spoke with a firm voice, completely unrelated to Cheon-Young’s wishes.

“No, a concubine is not a good idea. It doesn’t matter if you have two real wives.”

“While we’re on the subject, let’s decide. Where should we have the wedding?”

“Oh! Of course we have to build a wedding pavilion! Leave that to our Shinkongak!”

“Then, I guess I should start by choosing the guests to invite? Let’s see, let’s invite the heads of each faction from Sacheon… … Namgung and Jang Gang-chong Chae-ju, ah! Should I send invitations to the Five Great Muga as well? Haa, work keeps piling up. Work piles up. Is that my fate?”

When the topic of ‘marrying off’ came up, the attendants spoke passionately and the conversation progressed rapidly.

“Look at these. What’s important now? Send them to Guizhou Province right away… … .”

“It’s important!”

“… … .”

Cheon-yeong blinks, startled by the two shouting at the same time as if they were in sync.

With a fierce spirit and glaring eyes, as if he couldn’t back down.

“Now, decide. What could be more important than this?”

As Sang-Hwi spoke again, his vassals glared at Cheon-Young fiercely and pressured him.

“No, right now I have something to do… … .”

“This is what we have to do! The most important thing to do in Dangata! This time, we absolutely cannot give in.”

“… … .”

It wasn’t just Sang-Hwi.

None of the men who went seemed to have any intention of backing down.

Has unity ever been this good?

Of course, I was thinking that I would have to get married someday.

Because I have to continue the family history.

In the end, it was Cheonyeong who raised the white flag.

“Okay, calm down.”

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. Please make a decision.”

Cheonyeong sighed under Sang-hwi’s pressure and said.

“I told you, you got it? But just this one thing. Once I finish this one thing, then I’ll make a real decision.”

“What’s going on? Let us help you.”

“I can’t help you.”

“yes?”

“It’s something related to Samyang.”

Samyang in history that the Zhuge Liang family had hidden.

There, Cheonyeong was finally able to find a clue about the Eight Immortals.

Goncheon, a friend of Samyangshingun and the leader of the Demonic Cult three hundred years ago.

The Three Yangs and the Eight Immortals, who tried to gather their strength to stop him, visited all the sects in the Central Plains.

The records left in the Zhuge Liang family are about him.

The request of the Samyangshin Army, who neutralized the ten scenic views they boasted about without any sacrifice.

He only wanted to be under the guidance of Wei Jiaming, one of the Eight Immortals, until he could stop the Demonic Cult.

Perhaps the request to other families was similar.

The Samyang Shingun gathered the power of the Central Plains under the guidance of the Palseon and blocked the cavalry led by Goncheon.

Of course, not much was included in the records of the Zhuge family.

The story of how the Samyangshin Army broke through the ten scenic spots.

Zhuge Liang left behind a record because he wanted to supplement the Ten Classics through him.

However, the names of the Eight Immortals, which had not even been discovered within it, remained.

That was enough.

The three death row inmates who were previously accepted as members of Dangata’s family.

Gongsun Yuan did not leave any descendants behind, so we can now find the remaining four descendants.

I’ve already called Baekta for help.

It is possible to use a messenger, but it is safer to convey important information in person.

And Gongsun Yuan, the ancestor of the Gongsun family, clearly said:

When all the descendants gather, the strongest one among them can learn the next part of the Samyang Shingong.

I don’t know why.

Do any of them know something different?

Anyway, I definitely have to find it.

If I continue to train now, I will become strong enough, but everything has to end at some point.

How strong would you have to be to neutralize the Ten Commandments without causing any damage?

The answer will surely come naturally when you gather all the descendants of the Eight Immortals.

“Tch, then that’s fine. Once you’re done with Samyang, you’ll do as we say. Okay?”

Sang-Hwi spoke as if he had made a promise, and his vassals agreed.

Cheon-yeong had no choice but to nod.

“Okay. I’ll do that.”

“yes.”

The meeting is over.

Focusing on the matter of sending off Dangcheonyeong for marriage… … .

By the way, you haven’t forgotten your noble nature, have you?

Just try to do it poorly.
