The Night Dynasty had 850 City Lords, 600 million people, 60 million soldiers, and 280 regions under its control. The Demon Path Sect now had 540 Cities, 200 regions, and 300 million people.
Now that the two sides had perfectly fused together, the Night Dynasty's strength should be like this: 1,390 Cities, 600 million people, 500 regions, and 90 million soldiers.
With this kind of strength, Zhao Fu set his sights on the other factions. The Night Dynasty was still too weak compared to the other factions, and it needed to quickly develop.
If Zhao Fu unified the human world, he would make a move on the Fish Scale world or the Dark Demon world. The Fish Scale world was developing quite well.
However, the Dark Demon world was too weak, so it needed to focus on developing. More importantly, Zhao Fu planned to attack the Spirit Light world after conquering the Dark Demon world. After all, Qin Qin had a trump card that countered the Spirit Light race, which was the Primogenitor Statue.
Now, there were two factions next to the Night Dynasty, and they were Zhao Fu's second target. One was a player faction, which was formed from the three Dynasties and a few other factions, while the other was a system faction.
The player faction had 900 City Lords and 80 million soldiers, while the system faction had 700 City Lords and 70 million soldiers. Most of them were Stage 1 soldiers.
If both sides joined together, whether it was in terms of City Lords or military strength, they would be more powerful than the Night Dynasty. Zhao Fu would have no problem dealing with a few hundred City Lords by himself, but facing tens of millions of soldiers by himself would be quite difficult. After all, if there were too many of them, he would be dragged to death, and he would only be able to run in the end.
Right now, it would be quite difficult to fight against the two of them, so Zhao Fu thought of a plan to ally with another faction to attack the other faction.
There had always been conflict between players and system main cities, so logically, it would be easier to ally with the player faction to attack the system faction.
However, the key thing was whether or not they were willing to ally with the Night Dynasty. Moreover, they could not hide the fact that they had fused with the Demon Path Sect. This was a great threat to them, and it was possible that they would ally together to attack the Night Dynasty.
This was not a simple matter. Zhao Fu first returned to the State of Qin to discuss with many ministers.
During this period of time, the Hundred Schools of Philosophers had also been officially recognized by Qin, which meant that they had been recognized by Qin. Qin could give them all kinds of preferential treatment, and they could also establish sects, teach students, and spread their own ideology and culture.
Originally, the Hundred Schools of Thought was the general name for the various academic factions during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Qin and Han Dynasties. According to the Records of Arts and Literature in the Book of Han, there were a total of 189 schools with 4,324 works.
The following books, such as the Book of Sui, Records of Classics and Records, and the General Catalogue of the Four Treasury Complete Works, recorded that there were actually more than a thousand schools of thought. However, there were only a few dozen that were more widespread, influential, and famous. In summary, there were only 12 schools that were developed into schools.
Zhao Fu's personal philosophy was that he would not dismiss the Hundred Schools of Thought and only respect Confucianism, nor would he allow rotten Confucianism to infect Qin.
First, Zhao Fu acknowledged that studying was a good thing, but he could not focus on studying. That way, Qin would become lifeless, and Qin's martial spirit would disappear. In the end, it would be like the Song Dynasty, where it would be bullied and humiliated by various powerful factions.
Zhao Fu wanted to restore the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Hundred Schools of Thought. All sorts of thoughts would clash, and new thoughts would be born and old thoughts would die, forever maintaining Qin's vitality.
This was the most important thing to Qin, as ideas were the soul of a nation. They could decide the direction a nation would go in.
Of course, these sects had to surrender to Qin, and their core values were patriotism and loyalty to the emperor. They could not promote rebellious thoughts. Zhao Fu would certainly not allow the sects that had other ideas about Qin to stay in Qin.
The sects that surrendered to Qin would be encouraged and promoted. Zhao Fu would restore the Hundred Schools of Thought, but he would also list a few as forbidden sects.
Buddhism, Confucianism, and Mohism were also hunting down anyone related to these three sects in Qin. Zhao Fu would not be merciful to his enemies.
Apart from these three sects, there was also the most important sect, which was the School of Vertical and Horizontal. Su Yan and Zhang Heng had been on Zhao Fu's kill list, but now they had escaped to other continents with various factions of Huaxia, so Zhao Fu could not do anything to them.
In actuality, within the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Confucian School was the most powerful. Ever since the Hundred Schools of Thought began to contend with each other, it was during the Han Dynasty that the Hundred Schools of Thought were dethroned and revered Confucianism. Afterwards, Confucianism became the mainstream ideology of China.
The Buddhist Sect was also a large sect that had thousands of years of history. They had many followers, and they were quite widespread.
Qin's sect-exterminating operation caused the other sects to feel quite afraid. Luckily, they had chosen the right side, or else they would have been wiped out by Qin.
Now, there were many players in Qin, as well as some people among the commoners. They asked the Qin Imperial Court to stop persecuting the Confucian School and Buddhist Sect disciples. Qin had become their hell, and anyone who believed in Buddhism or studied Confucianism would be heavily punished or even beheaded.
The sects that had escaped to other continents were incredibly furious and attacked Zhao Fu. They said that Zhao Fu's actions were even more brutal than Qin Shi Huang's, and that he had caused the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people.
In response, Zhao Fu did not respond. Zhao Fu would not allow his enemies' thoughts to invade him, even if they were good people.
Qin's Rising Qin Academy's students were called the Confucian School, but it was Qin's Confucian ideology that Qin Zhao had nurtured from the very beginning.
Zhao Fu wanted this Confucian ideology to replace the mainstream Confucian ideology. There was also the Buddhist Sect. Qin would only accept them after he unified the world, and now, he could only suppress them.
As for the School of Mohism, it did not have many people, and it had only been slightly prosperous during the late Qing Dynasty.
However, in the end, Qin definitely could not allow the School of Vertical and Horizontal to exist. There was no room for negotiation, and the School of Vertical and Horizontal had to be destroyed because it was too harmful.
There was also another sect, which was the White Lotus Sect that Qin had taken in. This sect was also banned by Zhao Fu. Even though it had cooperated with Qin, its core ideology was also very harmful.
Zhao Fu did not want the White Lotus Sect to incite the people to rebel every time there was a natural or man-made disaster. With the White Lotus Sect's unscrupulous ability to bewitch people, it was very easy for them to incite some people.
This kind of sect was not liked by any country, so it had always been listed as a forbidden sect. Qin was no exception to this.
