Because of Feng Zhiqian's arrangement, it was difficult for the Red Shadow Army lurking in the Wuwei Army to find an opportunity to strike.
In order to eliminate the Red Shadow Army in the Wuwei Army, Feng Zhiqian held a mobilization meeting in the army to call on the Red Shadow Army lurking in the Wuwei Army with huge profits.
As long as he reports the undercover agent of the Red Shadow Army lurking in the Wuwei Army, not only will it be ignored, but he will also get the Diyuan Pill that the soldiers dream of.
The Diyuan Pill is relatively precious. It is said to have the ability to defy the heavens and change one's destiny. Some people without spiritual roots can condense the acquired spiritual roots after taking the Diyuan Pill.
The Diyuan Pill came from the Dachu Imperial Palace. It was first refined from the dragon vein spiritual energy, and then supplemented with dozens of precious medicinal materials. It took ninety-nine and eighty-one days to refine it.
The Piaomiao Realm is the realm of cultivation. The Zhao family of the Chu royal family can securely sit on the throne because of the existence of the national jade seal and dragon vein.
Dragon Vein Spiritual Energy is a level higher than ordinary Spiritual Energy, and it is more domineering. Princes and princesses born in the palace are all awakened after the Dragon Vein Spiritual Energy changes their muscles and cleanses their marrow.
Because the Dragon Vein Spiritual Energy is too overbearing, although it can awaken people, it can also cause damage to the human body. The life span of the royal family members is similar to that of ordinary people, or even shorter.
Only those who awaken through their innate spiritual roots or those who cultivate immortality will live longer, and can even ascend to the immortal world and seek immortality.
Dragon Vein Spiritual Qi is too overbearing and can harm the body, but for people who are awakened by their innate spiritual roots and whose physique is different from ordinary people, as long as they control it well, it will be beneficial to their cultivation.
Officials at all levels going to court are actually a kind of gift. Nourished by the dragon vein aura of Jinluan Palace, all of them are talented and have extraordinary strength.
The higher the official's rank, the more talents he has, and the stronger the aura of heaven and earth he controls.
The literary positions of Dachu are Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, Hanlin, Great Scholar, Great Confucian, Semi-Sage, Sub-Sage, and Saint.
Those who could enter the Jinluan Hall to attend court, except those summoned for special reasons such as royal relatives or meritorious service, must at least be Jinshi or above.
The existence of Diyuan Dan can be used to reward those who have made meritorious service in the military, and on the other hand, it can also be used to win people's hearts.
Two-thirds of the middle and high-level officials in the army were awakened through the Diyuan Pill, so they were naturally more loyal to the imperial court.
The existence of the dragon veins is closely related to the Chuanguo Jade Seal. The magic weapon of the mythical age of the Chuanguo Jade Seal not only contains rich dragon energy, but also allows the world's dragon vein aura to converge towards the location of the Chuanguo Jade Seal.
Bianliang originally did not have dragon veins, because it was the capital of Dachu, and there was a jade seal passed down from the country, so it became a gathering place for the Nine Dragons.
In the Piaomiao Realm, even if you are lucky enough to conquer the country, if there is no national jade seal, the country will not be stable.
Because of the existence of the Imperial Seal, the life and death of civil servants depended on the emperor's thoughts, and they were absolutely trustworthy.
Military generals are difficult to control. Throughout the dynasties, even military generals who have made great military exploits will be jealous. Military generals in peacetime are even more constrained.
It was fine in other dynasties, but Da Chu had more distrust of generals and had more constraints.
Because Taizu of Chu came into existence through Chen Qiao's rebellion and the imperial robe, so to avoid history repeating itself, the generals of Great Chu could not be taken seriously.
Da Chu valued culture over military affairs and was afraid that the army would use force to protect itself. Therefore, the control of the army was intricate. Even the highest officers in the army were subject to the control of local civilian officials.
Wuwei Army's former capital commander Fang Zihao and current capital commander Feng Zhiqian were both controlled by Wu Xuan, the prefect of Hangzhou.
Those who had made meritorious services in the army were rewarded with Yuan Dan, and it was Wu Xuan who came forward. Generals such as Fang Zihao or Feng Zhiqian had no chance to sell people's hearts.
As a result, the generals had no power and the army was too weak to recover, which led to the "Chanyuan Alliance" and the shame of ceding the Yanyun sixteen states.
According to normal circumstances, not to mention Feng Zhiqian, the newly appointed commander, even Fang Zihao, the original commander of the Wuwei Army, did not have Diyuan Dan.
However, Feng Zhiqian belonged to King Kang Zhao Gou. As the prince, Zhao Gou could easily obtain the Diyuan Pill.
Most of the 30,000 elite soldiers of Prince Kang's Palace, also known as the Wu Zhiwei of Prince Kang's Palace, were awakened through the Diyuan Dan. Although their strength may be strong or weak, they are all awakened.
In order to allow Feng Zhiqian to successfully control the Wuwei Army, King Kang Zhaogou not only gave him three thousand Wuwei Guards, but also gave him thirty Diyuan Pills.
For soldiers, obtaining the Diyuan Pill is an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate and become a master.
However, no matter how precious the Diyuan Pill is, it is not as important as life. The Red Shadow Army was forced to make an oath of heaven. If they betray their companions, they will be punished by heaven and end up with physical and mental destruction.
Therefore, the Red Shadow Army lurking in the Wuwei Army remained silent, but the Wuwei Army exploded.
In order to obtain the Diyuan Pill, some Wuwei Army said that they were forced to join the Red Shadow Army, but they never forgot that they were Wuwei Army and waited for the opportunity. Anyway, they randomly named a few people who usually had conflicts and said that they also joined the Red Shadow Army. .
In order to establish his prestige, Feng Zhiqian did not investigate. As long as there was a report, he would immediately take the person and take him to the Meridian Gate to be executed.
Feng Zhiqian killed more than a thousand Wuwei soldiers for three days, causing people to panic.
In order to avoid being bitten by others, the Wuwei Army came forward one after another to identify the spies of the Red Shadow Army.
Everyone understands that it doesn't matter whether he is a spy of the Red Shadow Army. As long as he is identified by others, he will be beheaded regardless of whether he is a spy or not. Only by standing up can he save his life.
There were more and more spies, and the officials of the Wuwei Army advised Feng Zhiqian to stop the killing. The power was established, but the real spies could not be found by this method, so Feng Zhiqian pretended to be good and stopped the killing.
After several days of killing, Feng Zhiqian had achieved the effect of establishing his authority, but he had lost his military morale. At the critical moment of life and death, no one was willing to fight for him.
The combat effectiveness of the Wuwei Army has dropped by 70%. If Xu Xian had 5,000 elite soldiers, he could easily defeat them.
Feng Zhiqian dared to improve military discipline at this time because he had three thousand elite soldiers given to him by King Kang.
Although these three thousand spirits were damaged after entering Shushan, there are still more than 2,700 left.
This is Feng Zhiqian's reliance, and therefore Feng Zhiqian does not take Xu Xian or Shushan seriously.
With these nearly three thousand loyal and elite soldiers, they were enough to sweep through Emei, Huangshan and other immortal cultivating sects.
As for Xu Xian, he is not worth mentioning. As long as Xu Xian dares to appear nearby, he can easily kill him.
Proud of his strength, Feng Zhiqian misjudged the situation. When he lost military morale, the Wuwei Army was full of dissatisfaction with Feng Zhiqian, and the lurking Red Shadow Army also took advantage of the situation to fan the flames.
"Feng Zhiqian is crazy. If you follow him, you will end up sooner or later."
"I met Jin Chanzi from the Emei sect a few days ago. We sat and talked about Taoism. We hit it off immediately, so we chopped off the chicken head, burned the yellow paper, and became brothers with different surnames.
Brother Jin said that my bones were very pure and that I was a rare talent for cultivating immortals, so he invited me to join the Emei Sect.
Because I was reluctant to part with worldly glory and wealth, I just said that I should think about it.
Now that the situation is critical and my life is almost at risk, it is safer for me to go to Emei to cultivate immortality. "
"Are you considered a genius in cultivating immortals? Then I must be a genius in cultivating immortals. How can I be omitted from joining Emei?"
"For safety, I plan to find a place with no one to hide in seclusion."
"I didn't want to be killed for no reason, so I chose to fly away."
…
The way to run an army lies in the combination of kindness and power. Feng Zhiqian had just established his power. Compared with the thousands of innocent souls who were killed in vain, thirty Diyuan Pills could not stir up any trouble and could not achieve the purpose of showing kindness.
Because the number of Diyuan Dan is too small, those who report meritoriously may not be able to get it. Instead, they will be ostracized for betraying their companions.
With the help of the Red Shadow Army, the Wuwei Army mutinied and fled one after another.
If Feng Zhiqian hadn't discovered it early and Wu Zhiwei was dispatched to brutally capture and kill the fugitives, it wouldn't take long before there would be only 2,700 elite soldiers left.
According to statistics on the second day, more than 5,000 Wuwei troops escaped in the chaos, and only more than 15,000 people remained, including hundreds of undercover Red Shadow troops put in by Xu Xian.
The Wuwei Army's mutiny was abnormal. Feng Zhiqian knew that it was the spies of the Red Shadow Army who were causing trouble, but he did not dare to act rashly anymore.
The escaped Wuwei troops moved in all directions. Xu Xian sent people to arrest them at various traffic arteries, and captured more than a thousand people.
Xu Xian said boldly:
"I give you two choices, swear allegiance or die."
After the first waves of resistance were suppressed, others swore allegiance.
