Outside Yingtian City, in the direction of Nanhuang, the construction of the high Temple of Heaven began a few months ago. It was supervised by Wang Shouzheng and took several months. It was finally completed in October.
The Temple of Heaven is built on Zihua Mountain outside the city. The mountain is more than 300 meters high. From here, you can overlook Wucheng.
On November 1st, all the civil and military officials under Zhao Cheng stayed up all night. Before dawn, they all went up to Zihua Mountain and waited under the Temple of Heaven.
At the foot of the mountain, at the forefront were the two thousand soldiers from the Taiping Camp, and behind them were the Ying Tian Army, numbering a full 200,000.
Of the 200,000 Yingtian Army, excluding the initial 70,000, the remaining 130,000 were all recruited in less than a year. The composition is very complex, including those from good families with a clean family background, and others. The three families of Feng, Chen and Wu surrendered.
Among them, Liangjiazi and Jiangzu are all reserve members of the Yingtian Army. Only after they have made meritorious deeds and have accumulated sufficient qualifications can they become regular soldiers. Their treatment is quite different from that of the regular army.
As for those who have been demoted, the same is true. Only by meritorious service can they be promoted.
Of course, Ying Tian's army did not want all the surrendered pawns. All the surrendered pawns were sent to mine by Zhao Cheng at the earliest. There were many mines in the southern wasteland. In the past, these mines were in the hands of powerful people. Now it all belongs to him.
As long as you dig mines for two consecutive months, you can choose to either get a traveling fee and be sent home, or take the assessment and become a reserve member of the Yingtian Army.
It is also that the assessment of Ying Tianjun is getting more and more difficult now. Otherwise, with Zhao Cheng's current prestige in Southern Wilderness, the number of Yingtian Army is definitely far from being only 200,000.
Guns and bullets killed everyone, thunder and fire destroyed the city. In less than a year, the Southern Wilderness was unified, and there was no effective resistance at all.
Everywhere he went, Zhao Cheng killed all the powerful people, rebuilt the system with political officials, agricultural officials and other officials, and also carried out infrastructure construction, selected talents from the people, and distributed gold, silver, money and food through various channels, so as to In order to improve the people's livelihood, there are also Taoist officials who convene the people to attend classes every few days, explaining their power, detailing the evils of the powerful, talking about the way of Huang Tian, and constantly saying that only General Yingtian can lead everyone to wealth. , the general is here, there is no shortage of money and food.
Ordinary people don't really understand the truth, but one thing is unquestionable, that is, life has indeed gotten better. Not only has there been more money and food, but even the gangsters on the street have stopped looking at it. Not here.
When a Yingtian Army peace officer takes office, he doesn't even need to bring manpower. He only needs to go around the place and randomly recruit a few people, and the manpower will be there naturally.
In this case, as long as those few people are not extremely cowardly in nature and have the support of Ying Tianjun, they will dare to kill people as long as the Sheriff gives the order. There is no arrogance like the local gangsters.
This is the power of power.
Even though these people were still being oppressed by the gangsters before and did not dare to resist, once they were given power, mere gangsters would be nothing at all.
At the same time, it is important to use the code in troubled times. As for the gangsters, the first time they are caught, they will be beaten to death. The second time, they will be captured and mined for half a year. If there is a third time, they will be killed directly.
With such kindness and power, there is no need to worry about the world being dissatisfied.
And people are all yearning for power. Now it has been spread in the Southern Wilderness for a long time that the Ying Tian Army is a magic weapon descended from the sky. After ordinary people enter, they don’t even have a chance to fight. They only need to wave the flag and shout from behind. Military merit, at the same time, if one person joins the army, the whole family will benefit, and blood relatives will receive additional merit when working.
Not only that, this is also a talisman. If you are wronged, you can directly hold the military documents and complain across the ranks. If any official dares to obstruct it, once found out, all the officials from the upper and lower levels will sit together. If the situation is serious, the three tribes will be killed.
Zhao Cheng attaches great importance to the army, especially when the world is uncertain.
For now, such a system is very effective. Many families want to have a soldier in their family to obtain various privileges. However, due to the assessment of the Tianjun Army, the system is constantly shrinking. , ordinary people, Ying Tianjun doesn’t want them at all.
But the more they don’t want it, the more ordinary people want to squeeze in.
Under this situation, if Zhao Cheng opens his mouth, the number of Ying Tian's army could triple or even increase in an instant.
It's just that Zhao Chengning didn't blindly expand the army.
The night was very gloomy, and even though more than 200,000 people gathered here up and down Zihua Mountain, it was extremely quiet. The weather in November was so cold that all birds and beasts were extinct, and there were occasionally some out-of-season beasts. He had sensed the strong military evil a long time ago and was scared to stay away from here.
There are not a few wisps of wind that occasionally blow up, letting people know that time is indeed flowing.
The weather is very cold, especially at the top of the mountain. The generals are just that, they are already strong. Such a little bit of cold air is nothing at all, but those civil servants are not all in good physical condition. The rolling cold air makes these people They couldn't help but tremble, especially Li Tonghai, who was famous for his ingenuity. His whole body felt stiff and his face was ashen, but his heart was burning.
Become the king. When Taoist Huang Tian swept the world, he skipped this step and went straight to capture the divine capital first and then proclaim himself the emperor in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and he failed in the end.
Now, Zhao Cheng occupies the Southern Wilderness and claims the title of king. Although the Southern Wilderness is incomparable in terms of territory and population with the territory when Huang Tiandao was at its peak, he is deeply aware that today's Southern Wilderness , many things are completely incomparable to Huang Tiandao's.
In the past, Huang Tiandao seemed to be sweeping the world, but in fact, its foundation was very shallow, or there was no foundation at all. Therefore, as soon as fortune passed and opportunity was lost, it would be a quick defeat and death.
But today's Yingtian Army has a deep foundation, sitting in the southern wilderness, and obeying every government order.
Even if Ying Tian's army fails continuously outside the Southern Wilderness in the future, it will be difficult to shake its basic base in the Southern Wilderness.
If Huang Tiandao had such a foundation at that time, he would probably have unified the world by now.
Of course, Li Tonghai also knows that these are difficult to copy. Among other things, just killing powerful people. Ying Tianjun can easily do this because when Yingtian Army first started, its soldiers were from other states. People, instead of local soldiers in Southern Wilderness, if local soldiers are used to kill local powerful people, I am afraid that the army will mutiny in an instant.
This is also a meeting of circumstances. If Huang Tiandao hadn't been defeated and retreated to Qingzhou, and thought about making progress in the Southern Wilderness, the current situation would not have been possible.
And now, although it is only Wang Nanhuang and not Wang Tianxia, Li Tonghai seems to have foreseen an invincible future as pointed out by Tianjun Bingfeng.
The world is nothing but the things in the palm of your hand!
