The country of embarrassment.
Ji Zhao's chariot rumbled forward. In front of him were countless prisoners kneeling on the ground. The people in the Yan Kingdom were all old people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The former king of the Yan Kingdom died on the bank of Luoshui following the Wu Geng rebellion. More than a year has passed since the war, and the army has marched all the way eastward.
During this period, the army first attacked the small Dongyi tribes located in various large cities, cut off their communication with the outside world, and successfully annihilated dozens of tribes along the way, and then attacked those Fang countries in the north.
The country of Yan is the largest among them. The defense of the city caused a lot of casualties to the army. At this moment, when they entered the city, Ji Zhao glanced at it coldly, raised his sword and said: "The people of the country of Yan do not respect the destiny of heaven. If they are not punished, , God will definitely be angry. Men who are taller than a wheel will be killed. Men who are not taller than a wheel will be sentenced to palace punishment and given to princes to serve as palace servants. All the remaining women will be demoted to slaves and distributed among princes, ministers, scholars and common people according to their merits. . God must be satisfied by punishing them like this."
The soldiers dragged away the prisoners one by one, and there was another bloody killing. This has become the norm during this year.
The princes all raised their eyebrows. The country of Yan was the worst among all the countries that had been conquered and destroyed. This Eastern Expedition was almost a massacre. Countless Dongyi people and old Yin and Shang tribes became slaves. According to the current progress, in another year, The entire traditional Shang clan will become a historical term.
It is true that Ji Zhao's methods were too ruthless. He looked gentle and polite, but in fact he was slaughtering by himself. During these days, even Taigongwang hardly expressed his opinions. The other princes were even more trembling. They did whatever Ji Zhao asked them to do. Don't even dare to say a word "no".
In fact, many people feel that they should have started showing mercy long ago. The so-called "treat guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs." Now beheading is almost the same, and the remaining people have long been scared out of their wits. They want money to give money, and people to give people. It would be of no benefit to anyone to continue killing like this.
The property looted by the army could no longer withstand the consumption of food and grass. This was the reason for the massacre. The soldiers could not guarantee food, so how could they distribute food to the slaves.
But they didn't dare to say it. Tai Gongwang knew what Ji Zhao wanted to do, so he didn't say anything.
Ji Zhao is naturally very aware of the current situation, but he has his own goals. The power of the old Yin and Shang clan is still a bit strong. Once they recuperate for more than ten years, the balance of power between Yi Luo will be unbalanced.
In addition, the Eastern Expedition was an extremely important event for Zhou Dynasty, almost as much as Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who pacified kings with different surnames. Only by completing the Eastern Expedition could the Emperor of Zhou truly be regarded as the co-lord of the world, and as the Eastern Expedition progressed, , the luck points increasing every moment made him unable to give up.
This time he used 10,000 luck points in the Eastern Expedition and drew two yellow-level props and several whiteboard props. Naturally, he wanted to replenish them, so he frantically slaughtered the old Yin and Shang kingdoms.
After conquering the Yan Kingdom and massacring the old Yin and Shang clan for the last time, the progress bar of the Eastern Expedition has ended. The system judged that the purpose of this Eastern Expedition has been completely completed, and the luck points have stopped increasing. Naturally, he will not commit any more crimes. .

Thinking of this, Ji Zhao glanced around at the princes surrounding him and said: "The army has been fighting for days. We are temporarily resting in the country of Yan and sending envoys to various countries. God has the virtue of good life. This is the last chance. We will bear the thorns with bare flesh in fifteen days. Come to the country of Amang to meet the orphans, if they don't come, the country of Amang will be their fate."
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly. The war was over, and then came the stage of dividing the spoils.
With the envoys rushing out from the Yan Kingdom, the haze that shrouded the entire old land of Yin Ruins seemed to have dispersed a little.
The princes and princes who received the news did not even dare to hesitate at all, and drove chariots and guards to the country of Yan to pay homage to Ji Zhao.
When the princes and the lords of the Fang Kingdom gathered in the Yan Kingdom, Ji Zhao received them in the palace of the Yan Kingdom and sat at the top, with the princes and princes accompanying the army sitting in two rows on the left and right.
The princes and princes of the old land of Yin and Shang all knelt down and bowed their heads, tremblingly saying: "I, the ministers of the small country, pay homage to Dazai Zhou of the great country. May you always shine on the world like the sun."
"Keep your head up."
Only then did everyone dare to raise their heads, and saw an elegant middle-aged man sitting above them, looking at them expressionlessly. They couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
Ji Zhao's cold voice came: "This time I led the army to the east alone. The reason was that Wu Geng and the three thieves Guan, Yong, and Bei made a rebellion. Now the four thieves have been sent to Haojing by their bosses. Wu Geng is your old friend. King, you must be very dissatisfied with Bangzhou?"
The king of Pu Guo paused with a tearful tone and said: "Bangzhou is a dynasty that has inherited the destiny of heaven. The emperor gave the minister and Wu Geng golden books in front of heaven. Wu Geng is the emperor's rebellious minister, and the minister is the emperor's loyal minister. He only wants to build a fence for the emperor. How could you be dissatisfied with Bangzhou because of a traitor like Wu Geng? Dazai, your wisdom is deeper than the sea and higher than Mount Tai. I am sure you can see my thoughts."
In this case, only by showing loyalty can you have a chance of survival. After showing loyalty, you must show your value.
"Since Pu Zi is a loyal minister, he must be loyal to the king?"
Although Ji Zhao's tone did not change for the better, Pu Zi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's good to negotiate terms, and his life can be saved by negotiating terms. He quickly said: "Everything I have is given by the emperor. Naturally, I can save it." Dedicate everything to the emperor, this is what a loyal minister should do."
"Well said, he is indeed a loyal minister. If the four thieves Guan, Yong, Bei, and Song had such a consciousness, they would not die in battle."
Seeing the change in Ji Zhao's tone, Pu Zi, the thief, seemed to have saved his life. The other princes suddenly became anxious. It would be too shameless for you to run away in this situation. Everyone rushed to beg for mercy.
"Dazai, foreign ministers are also willing to dedicate everything to the emperor."
"..."
"Dazai, I am also a loyal minister of the Emperor."
"Dazai, the foreign minister is willing to lead the tribe to surrender to the emperor and listen to the holy message."
This scene is very funny. Some of these people are kings of a country, and some are heads of tribes, but now they can only kneel here to beg for mercy.
At this moment, even the princes and princes felt the horror of war. Their noble bloodline would be wiped out in just one failed war!
Looking at the heads of princes and kingdoms who were frantically expressing their loyalty, Ji Zhao smiled and said: "You must all know that the late king once entrusted Gu with a major task, which is to build a city in the land of Yiluo. This matter is related to the destiny of our country. If you are willing to build the city, I believe that you are truly the loyal ministers of my great state Zhou."
"Hiss~"
The cost of building a royal city is simply countless.
"I am willing!" Pu Zi was really good at adding merit and said without hesitation: "I will use all the power of the people in the country to fully support the construction of the city."
Everyone did not expect Pu Zi, a thief, to be so decisive and sell them out again. They felt anxious but had to bow their heads to show their loyalty.
…
A group of people accompanied Ji Zhao to the bank of Yiluo for inspection.
The Luoyi he wants to build here will be the Luoyang of later generations. He wants to leave a deep enough mark on history, and if this is done, he may be able to obtain a Xuan-level prop.
As each dynasty established its capital here, this city could continue to provide them with a lot of luck points, making it a very profitable business.
"As expected of the land chosen by the late king, this kind of fertile water and soil is enough to support millions of people. With Luoyi as the royal territory, we no longer have to worry about rebellion in the east. We can send troops from here and pacify it overnight. "
Taigong Wang pondered: "If we want to build Luoyi, which is larger than the city of Haojing, it will probably take several years."
Ji Zhao didn't care, and said energetically: "As soon as possible, there are still many years before the king is crowned and personally conquered, which is enough for us to build Luoyi. When the king takes charge, we will implement the two-capital system, from Haojing to Luoyi. It is the sphere of influence that the emperor can control."
"Who will be responsible for supervising this matter?"
Ji Zhao and Taigong Wang are the three princes of the emperor. They have not returned to Haojing for two years. Naturally, they can no longer stay in the east. They must return to Haojing as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation.
The subsequent management of the feudal state and the conquest and rewards of the barbarians and Di were all major events. This Eastern Expedition made the feudal system completely operational. The year when the princes paid homage was about to come, and as regent he had to rush back.
"The construction supervision of Luoyi will be handed over to my eldest son. He will take over Gu's place in the Fan Luo Kingdom. He is in a key position, not far from Luoyi. It is perfect to oversee the old Yin and Shang clans. Every winter, Gu will come to inspect the progress. , it should be possible to do so.”
