Guanzhou, State Mufu.
Now the damaged areas have been completely repaired, and there are no traces of the war at all.
Dou Changsheng was sitting in the main seat, with officials sitting on the left and right below. Even the relatively spacious lobby was now overcrowded.
Now it controls three counties and occupies one state.
The officials, big and small, who were originally imprisoned in Tai'an County, have now completely returned home.
Again, victory is the best medicine.
After they got the news, they began to rush to Zhoucheng. Except for those who stayed behind and couldn't leave, all of them had now arrived in Zhoucheng.
After they arrived, Dou Changsheng waved his hand, and everyone was promoted and made rich.
It was as if there was no conflict between the two parties at all, and these officials from Tai'an County were all respectful, and there was no grudge between the two parties.
There is nothing we can do about this situation. Nowadays, Dou Changsheng has started too fast and is very short of people. Although the team in Tai'an County is not that suitable, it is still better than those in Guanzhou who were demoted. Good.
These people are already tied to their own interests, and the possibility of betraying them is very low.
This also made Dou Changsheng sigh, there must be a secret realm. If there is this secret realm as the basis, why wait until the future to attack the secret realm, why use these outsiders, he can even prepare for the county magistrate, and capture a county to have the county magistrate. Take office.
Only in this way can we effectively complete our rule and completely control the captured areas, unlike today's demoted officials and Taiwanese security officials who are used together.
Dong Juncheng's face was expressionless, and he was in a state of numbness at this moment.
Originally, the Xia King was asked to chase Huang Sanxi, control Huang Sanxi, and then station troops in Changshui County to confront the imperial court, and finally find a good opportunity to defeat the enemy. However, he never thought that this Xia King would be more promiscuous than Huang Sanxi.
Huang Sanxi had a thousand soldiers, so he dared to attack the city.
This was such a bold and arrogant move, but it succeeded in the end.
This thing has happened for a few days, but Dong Juncheng still can't believe it and is in a state of confusion.
As for why Huang Sanxi was so bold, Dong Juncheng finally knew where the root came from. It was indeed a case of deeds.
Without such a profligate monarch, how could such a profligate minister come from.
but.
Dong Juncheng's eyes moved and looked at the generals who had appeared now.
The most eye-catching thing among them is a giant. Even if this person is sitting upright, it is still higher than the height of ordinary people. The pressure is too strong. Sitting next to it is simply suffocating.
This warrior, a great immortal master who was stationed in Guanzhou came to attack not long ago, and it was this man who repelled the opponent.
Defeating foundation building with Qi training is shocking.
No, there are even more fierce achievements. Dong Juncheng looked at King Xia. This man built his foundation by practicing Qi against the attack and killed Liu Zhoumu. He was really too strong.
Dong Juncheng looked at Shang Yuanchun and Yuan Jizhong again. These two were also brothers of King Xia, and they were also in a mess.
Yuan Jizhong single-handedly pursued and killed all the immortal masters in Guanzhou. Shang Yuanchun was the main force in defeating the state army camp. He was good at riding and shooting and was unparalleled in the world.
The Xia King brothers were so fierce. Dong Juncheng had to consider one thing. Are all people in the upper world so fierce?
If the upper world is so fierce, how can they resist?
No.
Even if the upper realm is strong, it is impossible for everyone to be like this. The Xia King brothers are special.
No, it was King Xia and his brothers who were too strong.
This is the hidden dragon in the upper realm. If General Huang and others are regarded as the founding generals, then everything will be normal.
Since ancient times, all the founding generals of the country have not had outstanding military exploits.
Dong Juncheng's heart was filled with excitement.
The situation is great, so Dong Juncheng naturally wants to make progress.
Especially now, the brothers of the King of Xia are very powerful, but they are all the ones who lead the troops to fight. There is no official who is good at managing the place, arranging food and grass, and taking charge of logistics. This is an opportunity.
He is completely able to fill this vacancy, so Dong Juncheng is very active now. When many officials gathered, he couldn't wait to speak: "The king conquered three counties in a row and occupied Guanzhou, which shocked the world."
"The most urgent task now is to worship heaven and become king, so as to gain status and compete with Emperor Chen in his own court."
Dong Juncheng's words caused a chain reaction, and all the ministers spoke in support.
Although many people have received awards now, they are all willing to go further.
Dou Changsheng did not refuse, and directly agreed: "Build an altar, and the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven does not need to be too complicated, keep everything simple."
“There’s a lack of time now, and there’s also no money to waste.”
"Let Dong Qing handle it."
Dong Juncheng responded loudly, it was no longer appropriate to call him Dong Juncheng now.
Dou Changsheng captured Guanzhou, and although he was about to become king, Guanzhou Mu must not be replaced by others, and his name and weapons should not be faked.
King Xia is too weak, which means that it sounds good, but in fact it is not as heavy as Guanzhou Mu Lai.
Dong Juncheng rose to the top in one fell swoop and became an outstanding figure in the industry.
Now it should be called Dong Biejia.
Dou Changsheng addressed his ministers in nondescript terms. He never called himself king, but he acted like a king. When he was in Tai'an County, he had a knife on his neck and no one mentioned it. Now, no one mentions it. However, The reason is simple, occupying one state is enough to become king.
Dou Changsheng looked at Shang Yuanchun and said, "General Shang recently reorganized the state troops. How is the situation?"
Shang Yuanchun took a step forward, walked to the central area, and spoke calmly: "All the old and weak among the state soldiers have been eliminated. Although there are still some people who are young and strong, they are all ruffians and cannot be used at all."
"If we continue to retain them, it will lead to bad recruits, leading to a breakdown in military discipline and fear of the enemy."
"So I have gathered them into a separate battalion, led by General Ninth, to ascend the camp first."
Dou Changsheng nodded slowly. Old Shang just liked to listen to what he said more than Huang San. Although it was sometimes awkward, at least Old Shang said it, which was better than not saying anything at all.
For example, if the current Cannon Fodder Camp is named Xianden Camp, it sounds more than twice as good.
With Lao Jiu's character, he is suitable to lead these cowards. Lao Jiu will charge regardless of him. After a few battles, as long as he doesn't die, he will become an elite.
This method of military training is very simple.
As for those who escaped before the battle, there is nothing to say. They must be killed directly.
Shang Yuanchun continued: "There are only 8,000 state soldiers available out of 30,000. I have also recruited some sons of good families with innocent family backgrounds, and now I have 10,000."
Dou Changsheng frowned and said, "Too few."
"There are also troops stationed in each county, which requires a lot of troops. Soon we will go north to attack Lizhou, so we need to recruit at least 20,000 people."
Dou Changsheng looked at Dong Biejia and said, "Dong Qing has taken over the government office of the state. Is the money and food in the state enough to support an army of 30,000 people?"
Dong Biejia said without hesitation: "Of course it is enough."
"There are only 30,000 state soldiers. Although many of them are on empty pay and are not satisfied with the establishment at all, the money and food that can be spent are not compromised at all."
"Especially in Guanzhou in recent years, the weather has been going well. Liu Zhoumu is also a capable minister. Naturally, the state capital is not short of money and food. In addition, many wealthy families have colluded with the Great Immortal Master to resist the king. Now they have been defeated and died, and their family properties have been confiscated. Everything has been confiscated and the state is not short of money.”
"I suggest that we recruit 50,000 troops."
"So now we have 10,000 soldiers, plus more than 10,000 county soldiers from various places, making up a total of 80,000 troops."
Dou Changsheng looked at Dong Biejia in surprise. This guy who rebelled not long ago and wanted to die was now so heroic and wanted to recruit 50,000 troops. How could a state support him like this?
As soon as Dong Biejia finished speaking, a man walked out. He was a thin scribe who was already quite old and had gray hair on his temples. He directly advised: "Since ancient times, soldiers have valued elites, not many."
"Recruiting 50,000 soldiers is easy in theory, but in practice it is very difficult."
"In terms of money and food alone, it is impossible for a state to afford it."
"As for the 30,000 state soldiers, the imperial court has long been unable to issue all the money and food. Many of them are raised by the locals themselves. It is no secret that the state soldiers are full of old and weak people, and some are left on empty pay."
"The state government has naturally cut back on money and food, so the state soldiers no longer practice. Many people have begun to look for other livelihoods in order to survive, making the state soldiers unable to be used."
"Dong Biejia acted for the king's benefit, but in reality he was ruining the king's foundation."
"This man deserves to be killed!"
Dong Biejia naturally wanted to refute, but Dou Changsheng waved his hand to stop him. Although Chief Li was not sincere and had other motives, he was still right.
Guanzhou could not afford to raise so many soldiers, and Dong Biejia naturally understood. However, Dong Biejia wanted to use the land of the two states to raise so many soldiers after capturing Lizhou, which was not wrong.
As long as you have a hard time in Guanzhou, it will be enough.
But it was obvious that the Guanzhou people did not agree.
This Chief Li was also an acquaintance of Uncle Dou Jiu, who planned to transform Tai'an County into a new one and completely turn it into the fourth county in Guanzhou.
The official position of chief secretary can be big or small.
The general's chief registrar is naturally not at the same level as the prefecture and county chief registrar.
Chief Li is the chief shepherd of Liuzhou. This official position is not small anymore. Now he is the official who took the lead in surrendering in Guanzhou.
The other big guys are dying and being arrested. Master Li has become the representative of Guanzhou's local power, so he naturally doesn't want to suffer Guanzhou.
Dou Changsheng saw through the other party's purpose and couldn't help but sigh. Everyone has selfish motives. Dong Biejia didn't mean it sincerely, but was using this to please himself. As for whether Guanzhou was suffering or not, that was none of his business.
True to that sentence, there are many demons in the temple, but there are many bastards in the shallow pool.
Conquering the world is no child's play.
Nowadays, in such a big place, messy things are already happening.
I can't imagine that with the size of Dayan, there are so many people, including powerful families, sects, gangs, and government officials. All kinds of people have their own demands. Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb.
I envy the county magistrate who doesn't care about anything, but there is someone who handles things in an orderly manner and can just act as a hands-off shopkeeper.
Master Wu.
miss him.
Dou Changsheng looked at Shang Yuanchun and asked, "How much do you think is suitable for conscription?"
Shang Yuanchun was silent, thinking about how suitable it would be. After a while, he spoke: "There is no need to have too many soldiers."
"What we need are elite soldiers."
"Crossing the gate of the secret realm requires the consumption of spiritual stones. Too many soldiers are useless. They can only show off their evil in the secret realm."
"These ten thousand soldiers are enough now."
"The remaining money and food saved can be used to practice every day and improve the food."
Yuan Jizhong, who had been silent all the time, also supported the sermon: "First train ten thousand soldiers, and then select the brave ones among them and train a Taoist army."
"Even if there is only one battalion of five hundred, it is enough to run rampant in the wood industry."
It is obvious that the people in the secret realm are more than a step behind Dayan, so even if they are training Taoist soldiers, it is not just a matter of coming up, it requires the best of the best.
I always feel that training Taoist soldiers in Dayan is the cheapest.
After all, it is still the gate to the secret realm, and it is not under your control. The price of entry and exit is too high.
How many spiritual stones would it cost to carry a battalion of 500 Taoist soldiers?
Especially when they come to Dayan, this is also a black household, and they must have household registration.
Household registration is also divided into three, six or nine levels.
The best one is naturally the Dayan household registration, but this one naturally costs a lot and is the most expensive.
The second-class household registration is cheaper, but it also has many restrictions and many things cannot be done. The simplest example is that you cannot do business, let alone join other sects, and even martial arts schools.
There is no way, this is the source of income for other great people.
Even a large number of disciples accept secret geniuses as disciples.
Of course they couldn't stop it, there were too many ways to get around it, but they didn't stop it, they just scraped off a layer of skin.
I don’t know if it enriches the officials or enriches the court.
You must have your own secret door and build your own passage.
In this way, it is convenient to enter and exit, will not be choked by the court, and can also reduce the consumption of entry and exit.
Dou Changsheng said directly: "Then we will no longer recruit troops."
"I will personally be responsible for the training, assisted by General Shang, General Yuan and General Huang."
Naturally, one must be personally responsible for military training, and this must not be left to outsiders.
Even if Dou Changsheng knew that these brothers would not care too much, because this secret realm is too low-level, and they would not lose the big because of the small, and ruin the brotherhood, but for the sake of the brothers, just don't give the brothers a chance, this is the best brotherhood. Good way to handle it.
Human nature cannot stand the test;
After all, in the previous life, Mr. Yuan trained troops at a small station, and the new army was trained, but they all became Mr. Yuan's private army.
This private army controls the general trend of the world and can be said to be the elite among the elite.
To have such combat power, the imperial court naturally spent a lot of money. Real money and silver were thrown at it, but it was a pity that the soldiers were not their own.
The lessons learned from the past cannot be ignored.
Government affairs can be ignored, because as long as military power is in hand, these people cannot change the world.
Therefore, the army is the business of our brothers and no outsiders are allowed to get involved.
A simple meeting, everything was sorted out.
But when Dou Changsheng planned to take a break and then go to practice military training in person, well, that is, when he was a mascot, Director Li, who had left, came again.
Dou Changsheng looked at Chief Li with gray temples and asked directly: "What's the matter with Li Qing?"
Chief Li saluted first, and then said in a deep voice: "I have something to say, and I won't be happy if I don't tell you."
"I am the chief clerk of Liuzhou Mu, but in fact I am a person sent by the imperial court to monitor Liuzhou Mu."
"It's just because the ancestor of Liuzhou Mu was an important minister of the previous dynasty. After the fall of the previous dynasty, he took charge of the secrets of the previous dynasty. He wandered around Guanzhou for so many years, and even gave up his position as the right minister of the court for the position of Zhou Mu."
"So the imperial court secretly sent ministers to monitor Liu Zhoumu to find out Liu Zhoumu's secret."
Dou Changsheng, who didn't care at first, couldn't help but straighten up at this moment and listened attentively.
The level of this secret realm is not high, and Xuanguang Sect doesn't care at all. But Xuanguang Sect is determined to win it now, isn't it because the secret realm involves a lot.
The peak period of this world is Dongtian, which is the world of the Three Immortals, where real immortals have emerged.
Although from Dayan's point of view, these are loose immortals who are not taken seriously by Dayan's group of immortals at all, they are still immortals.
That is the goal that countless monks strive to pursue.
Not to mention finding the last blessed land, just having clues to a great secret realm is a major gain.
The limit of the small secret realm is Nascent Soul, while the starting point of the big secret realm is the transformation of the spirit.
The Xuanguang Sect really wants to obtain a great secret realm, which is completely under its own control. As long as the great secret realm is captured in the future, the Xuanguang Sect can take another step forward in strength. Nascent Souls like Master Xuanguang are not an exception. Chances and coincidences arise. They all have Nascent Soul, and even a transformed god.
Dou Changsheng, however, had no intention of obtaining the Great Secret Realm, so he would be satisfied with a Small Secret Realm.
The Great Secret Realm is not something that Dou Changsheng can conquer now, but it would be good if there is one. Because of the Yin clan, he can't take it, so he can sell it. All in all, these are good things.
So Dou Changsheng's eyes became eager, which had a chain reaction. Dou Changsheng also treated Master Li kindly. He directly asked Master Li to sit down, and then asked the maid to bring tea.
The front and back are completely different, this is reality.
Chief Li sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then slowly said: "Although Liu Zhoumu is very careful, I have become Liu Zhoumu's confidant. Many things cannot be hidden from me, and I have learned a lot of clues." .”
"I kept looking through ancient books and roughly figured out some things, but I lacked key evidence and did not report it to the court."
"I was planning to ask the imperial court to send strong men when Liu Zhoumu really took action. I never thought that now the secret realm is opening, the upper world has descended, and a hero like the king has come to the world, so he deserves to get this relic."
Dou Changsheng was a little disappointed. It was not news about other secret realms, but on second thought, he thought that there might be other secret realms involved in the ruins, so he said enthusiastically: "Have you found out what the ruins are?"
Master Li said: "It is recorded in ancient books that this world was once glorious in ancient times, and it was regarded as the world of three immortals."
"There are three immortals who live forever."
"The world is so big and vast."
"My land of Dachen is only a part of Lichen State."
"The corresponding word is dust."
Dou Changsheng was happy, this was right.
The remaining word "Li" can definitely evolve into a secret realm, dig out the other half, and then integrate the secret realm to complete the promotion. You can also continue to dig deeper, and gradually turn the remaining into a secret realm that has never been born, and a blessed land. Dig them all out.
This is the value of the new secret realm.
Dou Changsheng was very interested in classical books and said directly: "Ancient books are precious and of infinite value. I will set up a special department to collect classical books."
"Master Li has made great contributions."
"He has the talent of a prime minister."
"I am willing to worship Master Li as the Prime Minister of Xia!"
