The arrogant Yushan County Sheriff was frightened and overwhelmed by fear. He hugged Jun Wuxie's legs and begged loudly for mercy.
In the main hall, other civil servants could not help but tremble in their hearts and turned pale.
They are all from King Lanling.
Fortunately, he didn't speak just now, otherwise he would have suffered the same fate as the county governor.
Just when they were secretly rejoicing, thinking that they could escape for the time being.
Jun Wuxie glanced over.
Those eyes were so bright that they could penetrate the minds of these people at a glance.
Powerful divine thoughts covered them.
He made it possible for these people who were already in a state of confusion to understand all their little thoughts.
The group of civil servants were so frightened that they couldn't control themselves when they were glanced at by such sharp eyes. Their legs weakened and they fell to their knees on the ground.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Lord Yue, please spare your life, we were also forced!
King Lanling is so powerful that the subordinates have no choice but to surrender to him. This is not our original intention. Please forgive me! "
They cried bitterly on the spot, with tears and runny noses running down their faces.
Nalan Jingyi recovered from the shock of all the military commanders calling Jun Wuxie their master. Facing the pleadings of these civil servants, her face turned cold.
But she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned her gaze to Jun Wuxie and asked what he meant.
“The frontier faces powerful enemies and a war is imminent, so internal cancers must be eliminated.
You and King Lanling are colluding with each other. You are all rebellious officials and traitors. Your sin is unforgivable!
Qi Zhenshan asked people to drag them out and torture them in public! "
"Yes, Master."
Qi Zhenshan immediately made a gesture to his subordinates.
"No, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life, Lord Yue!"
The civil servants cried and struggled wildly.
However, in front of military commanders, their cultivation was simply not good enough.
"Master, the crime of rebellion will implicate the nine clans. Do you think it is..."
“No need, there are many nine tribes, and not everyone is involved.
You send people to investigate. If there are any participants in these official families, kill them all. The remaining ones will be temporarily imprisoned.
When the border war ends in the future and the cancer of King Lanling is eradicated, they will be released. "
…
On this day, there was a sensation in Yushan City.
Countless people gathered in the central square of Yushan City.
Looking at the officials who were tied to the high platform, everyone cheered.
The atmosphere at the scene was intense, with countless people throwing stones, eggs and other objects at the officials.
This shows how unpopular these people are on a daily basis.
The people in this city have already accumulated too much resentment in their hearts.
In Yushan County, taxes have been heavy in recent years.
In addition to court taxes, there are also local taxes.
The types of these local taxes are two or three times more than the taxes stipulated by the imperial court. As a result, many people have to work hard for a year and find it difficult to even fill their stomachs.
"The Emperor personally visited Yushan County and found out that the Yushan County Sheriff and other officials formed a clique for personal gain, abused their power, increased taxes privately, and acted without the king's laws. He is now to be executed without mercy!
The Emperor has ordered that from today onwards, Yushan County will be exempted from all local taxes.
The taxes of the former dynasty have been halved, and the people of Yushan County can live and work in peace and contentment, and recuperate. "
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Countless people knelt down and shouted, too excited to control themselves.
Many people even burst into tears.
I can finally escape the dire straits.
After excluding those numerous taxes, from now on, they will have a lot of surplus every year, so they can live a life of ample food and clothing, and they will also have spare money to exchange for some cultivation resources.
“The Emperor serves the country and the people, and we are deeply grateful for His great kindness!
General, the current situation in the border area is not optimistic. May I ask why the emperor came to the border area at this time? "
People were worried about the emperor's safety.
The current border is not peaceful, with tens of millions of soldiers from Langya Army and Chen Bing along the border.
Such a strength has never been achieved before.
In the past, the Langya Army was only a threat, but this time it is hard to say. Maybe the Langya Army is really going to attack Yushan City.
"Your Majesty is here to lead a personal expedition and lead the border soldiers to destroy Langya's arrogance and promote the national prestige of our Lanling Dynasty!"
"What? The emperor wants to lead the expedition in person?"
Everyone was shocked.
The emperor's personal expedition means that the emperor will push himself to the battlefield and put himself in danger!
"My people, I am here.
These years in the imperial capital, I did not know the hardships on the frontier.
Due to some reasons, I couldn't leave. Only today did I know that the officials of Yushan County were preying on the common people. This is an unforgivable crime!
Now, these corrupt officials and rebellious ministers have been captured.
What we have to face next is an army of tens of millions of wolf fangs on the border outside the city.
The Langya Dynasty has continued to harass the borders of our dynasty for many years.
We, the Lanling Dynasty, have never been afraid of war, peace talks, marriage, indemnities, or ceding cities!
The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!
Facing the extremely ferocious Langya Army, the frontier soldiers of our dynasty should launch a strong counterattack to enhance the majesty of our dynasty and shock the enemies all over the world! "
A majestic voice came from a distance, and when he said the last words, Nalan Jingyi had already arrived at the scene accompanied by Jun Wuxie, Feng Ling and others.
"The emperor is mighty, the dynasty is mighty!"
The entire square and the people nearby were excited, raising their arms and shouting.
"We are willing to join the army, follow the emperor on the battlefield, defeat the Langya army, and protect the frontier gates of our dynasty!"
People's emotions were completely aroused.
Countless people expressed their intention to join the army and kill the enemy.
The atmosphere at the entire scene was at its peak.
"My fellow citizens, Langya's border troops are fierce and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
We have our frontier soldiers to deal with them.
I just want you to live a good life. When the war comes, being able to provide logistical help in the city is the greatest support for the dynasty.
As for going to the battlefield, there is no need.
I don't want to see my people die. "
"The Emperor is so kind and considerate of us. We will give our full support to fight against the Langya Army!"
The sound at the scene was uniform, and everyone knelt down.
"Everyone, get up. From tomorrow on, if you have any grievances, you can go to the Yamen to file a complaint and state the matter clearly. I will definitely send someone to investigate thoroughly and redress your grievances. Anyone who violates the laws of the imperial court will be severely punished. No tolerance!
"My emperor will live forever, and our dynasty will prosper forever!"
People's mood is indescribable. If they lived in a corrupt environment in the past, now they feel like they have entered the pure land of heaven.
With the emperor's arrival, the living environment of the entire Yushan County changed in one day.
Next, the Yushan County Sheriff and others were publicly tortured, and the screams resounded throughout the square, which was very sad.
This process lasted several days.
Jun Wuxie specifically ordered not to let them die too quickly, to properly transport life essence to maintain their lives, and to keep them awake at all times to endure pain and torture.
On this day, Jun Wuxie, Nalan Jingyi, Feng Ling and Feng Wei stood on the city wall looking down at the land outside the city, accompanied by Qi Zhenshan and others.
The terrain outside the city is relatively flat, with small mountains at regular intervals, dividing the land outside the city.
There are observation towers built on the highest peaks of those mountains, and frontier soldiers are on duty to keep an eye on the situation along the border.
"Master, Your Majesty, judging from the situation on the border, our forces are relatively scattered. Once the Langya Army attacks from all directions at the same time, some fortresses may not be able to hold on..."
Qi Zhenshan looked worried.
Originally, 20 million soldiers were enough to guard against the Langya border army.
But now, the number of people gathered by the Langya border army has exceeded 40 million.
If they attack from the main front and rely on the tall city walls, they will definitely not be able to break Yushan City.
But the frontier bordering the Langya Dynasty was not only Yushan City, but also dozens of fortresses and passes, large and small.
“If it’s only 40 million, it’s not a big concern.
However, the Langya army is by no means more than 40 million.
They will continue to increase their troops in the future.
However, you don't have to worry about any of this.
Can all the soldiers in the army practice the holy fighting method I gave them? "
"Go back to Master, you have already started practicing.
However, the soldiers need time.
You asked me to select the best among the best. Due to their natural talents, understanding and other reasons, they practice and comprehend faster.
But ordinary soldiers can't do that. Without time in years, it may be difficult to improve their combat effectiveness to a higher level. "
"There is time, don't you think they can break through the border defense line in a short time.
Follow me back to the city lord's mansion. "
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he left with Nalan Jingyi.
Qi Zhenshan and other generals hurriedly followed.
After returning to the city lord's mansion, they came directly to the military sand table.
"Come and take a look."
Jun Wuxie pointed to some military fortresses on the sand table and said: "According to your usual troop deployment, in order to prevent the main city from being breached, half of the troops are left in Yushan City. The remaining dozens of fortresses add up to only one thousand Ten thousand soldiers, less than 300,000 per fortress.
Each of those fortresses had dozens of points to defend, which equated to less than 10,000 defenders at each point.
Although judging from the distance, each fortress and each point can assist each other within a certain period of time.
However, once the war begins, with the enemy's advantage several times ours, many fortresses will face tremendous pressure, which will inevitably cause serious casualties. "
"What the master said is absolutely true, and this is what worries us.
If troops could be mobilized from other counties, these problems could be eliminated.
With the master's methods, it should not be a problem to mobilize troops from other counties. "
"The troops from other counties cannot be transferred, and the Langya Army can only be dealt with by the troops from Yushan County.
Most of the troops in other counties were under the command of King Lanling.
If troops from other counties were mobilized, King Lanling would gain more troops and lose control, and he might jump over the wall in a panic.
That would bring great disaster to the dynasty.
We need to use a relatively low-cost method to deal with King Lanling, and do not cause the dynasty to be in ruins because of King Lanling. "
“The master is very considerate, but we have overlooked this.
But if this happens, the defense of this frontier will probably be very difficult..."
Qi Zhenshan sighed.
“There is pressure on the border, but it is far less serious than you think.
From now on, the garrison of Yushan City will be divided into eight million and dispatched to other fortresses to increase the defensive strength.
It is enough for Yushan City to leave two million defenders. "
"this……"
Qi Zhenshan and the generals were stunned.
How could two million defenders defend such a large Yushan City?
You know, on the side of Yushan City facing the Langya Dynasty, the city wall is more than a thousand miles long from east to west. Excluding the mountains connecting the middle, it is also seven to eight hundred miles wide.
With such a long city wall defense line, if the Langya army chooses this as the main direction of attack, a mere two million troops will simply not be able to withstand it!
Jun Wuxie pointed to the city wall on the sand table and said, "This city wall is connected to the mountains at thirty places in the middle.
The mountains are towering and steep, and the Langya army cannot attack from here.
The walls between each mountain range are about twenty or thirty miles long.
Sixty to seventy thousand defenders were arranged for every thirty miles of city wall.
Of course, just 60,000 to 70,000 defenders cannot stop the Langya army. If the Rune War crossbow bed is added, the result will be different. "
After he finished speaking, he took out thirty crossbow beds from the Najie.
Each crossbow bed is five or six meters long and two meters high, and is covered with exquisite runes.
"Master, what is this?"
Qi Zhenshan and the others recognized the crossbow bed, but they had never seen such a crossbow bed with such exquisite runes engraved on it.
Just by looking at it, you can feel the terrifying lethality of the crossbow bed.
"Rune warfare equipment, this crossbow bed goes beyond the scope of ordinary crossbows.
This crossbow bed can fire continuously at a very high speed, and the effective shooting distance of the rune crossbow can reach more than a hundred miles.
Therefore, in the center of the thirty-mile city wall, only one rune crossbow bed could cover a large area of the entire battlefield.
When the crossbow hits the target, it will produce energy radiation, covering a range of tens of meters.
The quiver space of the crossbow can hold ten thousand crossbow arrows.
Currently, each of these crossbow beds is equipped with only a few thousand rune crossbow bolts.
Later, the Ministry of Industry will secretly deliver more crossbows, so don't worry about that. "
"Is this... really such a magical and terrifying power?"
Qi Zhenshan and other generals were shocked.
Where is the rune crossbow bed? It is simply a large war weapon, a harvester on the battlefield!
"Hahaha, Master, your methods are truly breathtaking!
Now that we have this, two million troops should be enough to defend Yushan City! "
"Come here, quickly place the Rune War Crossbow bed at the center of each section of the city wall and keep it under strict guard for twelve hours.
Remember, the general in charge must personally guard it, and there can be no mistakes! "
Qi Zhenshan came to his senses after the excitement and hurriedly asked people to arrange these weapons of war.
"Qi Zhenshan, how many divine boats are there in the army?"
"Returning to the master, there are more than a hundred ships in total, of which more than thirty are used for military maneuvering. The rest are miniature divine ships. They are fast but small in size and are used to transmit messages between fortresses."
Jun Wuxie nodded and said: "From now on, the army's confrontation training will be suspended, so that all the soldiers in the army will spend all their time and energy on practicing the holy method of fighting.
I will find time to go to each military camp to preach in person, explain and interpret the essence of the holy method of fighting, and improve the speed of the soldiers' cultivation.
Also, I have some elixir recipes here. You can take them and let the pharmacists in the army refine the elixirs according to the prescriptions to replenish the true energy, treat internal injuries, and treat flesh and blood wounds.
If there are not enough pharmacists in the army, private pharmacists can be recruited in the city to assist.
Be sure to stock up on as many military elixirs as possible. "
"yes!"
Qi Zhenshan and others were trembling with excitement.
The master is like a walking universal treasure book, he can take out anything and know everything.
This is so amazing!
