Wang Jing didn't wonder for too long. After the two sides exchanged a few polite words and expressed their attitudes, Zhang Jiuling seemed to have thought of something and quickly introduced him to Wang Jing.
"Your Majesty, this is Mr. Xin Qiji Xin..."
Zhang Jiuling said.
"It's Mr. Jiaxuan, I've heard of him for a long time!"
Wang Jing's eyes lit up and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Xin Qiji! His name is really thunderous,
Reading swordsmanship while drunk, returning to the Chujiao Company in a dream, fighting an iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger...these are all poems written by him.
When Wang Jing was in the source world, he often recited his poems.
In addition to his top talent in poetry and literature, Xin Qiji was also a general who was good at military strategy. When he was a boy, he single-handedly broke into a camp of tens of thousands of rebels to capture the rebel leader.
However, because of his identity as a northerner, Zhao Xing was not reused by Zhao Xing after crossing south, and his advice to Yu Yun was ineffective.
After serving in the Zhao and Song Dynasties for such a long time, Xin Qiji was also a little disheartened. After coming to the world of China, he served as an official in the Southern Song Dynasty for a period of time.
When Zhao Yao left Lin'an, he did not move with him, but stayed here.
"Xin Qiji has met His Majesty!"
Xin Qiji's aura was slightly fierce, and he was not an ordinary celebrity. His attitude in front of Wang Jing was also more respectful. After being introduced by Zhang Jiuling, he stepped forward and bowed.
Just looking at his attitude, Wang Jing felt confident.
The other party had stayed in Lin'an for such a long time, and it was obvious that he also wanted to defect to Daxia. However, the other party was a famous person in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to flatter Xia Jun.
Only when you personally come and invite him, will the other party surrender to you.
Now Wang Jing has guessed the attitude of the two people, and the two people in front of him also know Wang Jing's purpose of coming, and both sides understand each other tacitly.
But the superficial work still needs to be done.
Without this level of superficiality, the reputations of Zhang Jiuling and Xin Qiji would plummet. This is also the etiquette of dynasty rule.
Inside the palace within the city.
Wang Jing was drinking tea and talking with Zhang Jiuling and Xin Qiji, accompanied by Liu Bowen, Fu Youde, Chen Qingzhi and others.
While talking, Wang Jing intentionally asked the other party about the quality of Daxia's policies and how to develop in the future.
Zhang Jiuling and Xin Qiji are both smart people, and they usually study Daxia's policies.
Everyone can tell some truths and opinions about Daxia's policies, even Liu Bowen listened carefully.
"Zhang Jiuling is worthy of being a famous prime minister in the prosperous Kaiyuan period. His ability in internal politics can be compared with that of several bachelors from the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Jinling. However, his governance is a bit soft and is more suitable for peacetime governance!"
Wang Jing evaluated the two talents around him in his mind.
There are two types of prime ministers. One is from the founding period, that is, the prime ministers during the troubled times, such as Li Shanchang and Gao. They can handle government affairs in the fastest way and provide the monarch with enough food and grass for war. Their methods are somewhat tainted. In troubled times, the most important thing is efficiency.
During the founding period of a dynasty, the officials were clear in their administration, simple and direct policies could be implemented quickly, and the efficiency was extremely high. In just a dozen years, a newly established dynasty could become prosperous.
The other type is the prime ministers in peacetime, such as Yao Chong, Zhang Jiuling, and Zhang Juzheng, who are relatively capable. Their political methods are either a combination of hardness and softness, or softness overcoming toughness. No one dares to kill ruthlessly or kill people if they are disobedient. of.
In times of trouble, the first type of prime minister is most likely to come to the fore, while the second type of prime minister with softer methods is most likely to serve at the provincial level and has no hope of becoming the center.
In peacetime, the world is dominated by the second type of people. Once the first type of people appears, they will become cruel officials. The most obvious example is Wang Anshi, who was truly born at the wrong time.
If he was born in troubled times to assist the Ming Dynasty, then the various policies he used to reform the law can become the foundation of a dynasty and become the top famous official. It's a pity that when he carried out the reform, the foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty was already stable and could not be changed easily...
Zhang Jiuling was also a little unlucky.
Wang Jing approved
The other party's ability, but the other party can only become a provincial-level official for the time being. When Daxia stabilizes in a few years or more than ten years, it will be time for him to enter the center to display his abilities.
As for Xin Qiji, Wang Jing could feel that his ability to lead troops should be good and he could also govern the place, but he could not compare with Fu Youde and Gao Ying in terms of both civil and military skills.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, when there was a lack of famous generals in history, his ability to lead troops was worthy of attention, but in the world of China, he could only hold provincial-level official positions.
The two of them were not the top talents, but Wang Jing was not disappointed.
There are not so many top talents. There are only those people in the entire history. It is already a very good thing to be able to recruit two great talents.
It just so happened that after the Southern Song Dynasty was captured, the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty needed officials to manage it.
With Zhang Jiuling's reputation in history and Xin Qiji's both civil and military skills, it would not be a problem for each of them to govern an area.
"Both gentlemen are great talents. I wonder if you two would be willing to lend a helping hand to help me achieve my great cause?"
After talking to the two of them for a while.
Wang Jing looked at them with both eyes and extended a sincere invitation.
"Your Majesty personally invites you. With such sincerity, how dare you disobey me?"
Zhang Jiuling and Xin Qiji didn't show off, but agreed straight away.
Wang Jing, the Emperor of Great Xia, personally came to Lin'an to invite him and gave him so much face that they would definitely not refuse.
"Thanks to the help of these two, Daxia's strength will be even higher!"
Wang Jing laughed.
After complimenting him, Wang Jing gave the two officials official posts on the spot.
Zhang Jiuling temporarily entered the secret prison and served as Zhang Juzheng's deputy, assisting in processing various information coming from various places.
Xin Qiji was appointed as the acting governor of the Lin'an camp.
The subordinate officials in the camp are all temporarily appointed. After the war, the central government will reward, punish and transfer the officials in the camp based on their performance in the war.
One of the two entered the secret prison and the other entered the Lin'an camp, and both had many opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
They have no grade yet, but they have great future.
"Thank you for your majesty's great kindness. I will go through fire and water for your majesty's great cause!"
The two of them thanked each other.
…
Dozens of miles outside Lin'an City, there are dense mountains and forests. There are many plains and farms on the outskirts of the city, but there are also some rolling hills and forests, with rivers running through them, and many birds and animals roaming the mountains and forests.
This place was originally the capital of Zhao and Song Dynasties, but now there are elite soldiers of Great Xia stationed there, but all the seventh-level monsters and beasts with some spirituality have taken refuge in the deep mountains and old forests.
Without those powerful beasts, many nearby people who went to the mountains to cut firewood and hunt were much safer.
A village relatively close to the mountains and forests is home to hundreds of households.
This day.
The Shanggan cavalry rolled in, and the children playing outside the village were immediately taken away by the people in the village. Many people looked at the torrent in the distance with some fear.
Immediately afterwards, a huge chariot pulled by six horses appeared. There was a canopy on the chariot and surrounded by raised yellow umbrellas...
The knowledgeable old people in the village immediately understood that this was the emperor's carriage.
at this time.
Deep in the forest behind, a young man with a strong physique was wearing coarse cloth and holding a wooden spear in his hand. In front of him was a strange beast that had reached the eighth level.
puff!
The seemingly ordinary wooden spear was like a magic weapon in the hands of this young man. With one stab, it pierced the vital part of the alien beast and penetrated the extremely hard skin of the body.
The young man withdrew his spear, and traces of pure and vigorous blood spilled out. This pure blood, which could be refined to increase physical strength, was just mixed into the soil at will.
"An eighth-level strange beast can probably last for half a month..."
The young man did some calculations, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Although after entering the ninth level, a person's body has undergone a qualitative transformation. He can master the laws of heaven and earth and become innate, and can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Unlike the seventh and eighth level generals who need to eat every day.
Plenty of energizing food.
But young people have become accustomed to drinking and eating meat.
The meat of eighth-level exotic beasts contains a large amount of life essence and blood. It can satisfy the appetite and at the same time nourish and strengthen the young man's body to some extent.
In the absence of spiritual elixirs to assist in practice,
Hunting alien beasts and devouring their flesh and blood is the most direct and effective auxiliary method.
The young man waved his hand, and a strong wind blew up, lifting the body of the strange beast. This was the use of the law of wind. He held the wooden spear, turned around and ran towards the outside of the mountain.
Shortly after.
As soon as the young man came out of the forest, he saw the cavalry and the huge chariot not far away. His face became a little unhappy, as if he was thinking of the previous unpleasantness.
"Who are you?"
There was a loud roar, like muffled thunder, and the thousands of dragons and horses outside the village trembled all over as if they had encountered a savage beast, their natural enemy.
"Your Excellency, you are General Yang Zaixing, right? I am the lord of Daxia. I heard about the general's name, so I specially came to invite you. I want the general to serve me!"
Except for Wang Jing, no one else came to this village.
He was also accompanied by Fu Youde, Gan Ning and Niu Gao. At this time, everyone saw the young man in the distance, that is, Yang Zaixing. When Niu Gao saw Yang Zaixing, a smile appeared on his rough face and he opened his hands as if to say hello to him.
Yang Zaixing's appearance was not handsome, but there was a domineering aura in his features.
He was wearing coarse linen clothes, and he looked like a young man from a mountain village, but the aura around him made people subconsciously ignore his clothes.
When Wang Jing was speaking, a flash of light flashed through his eyes. In a flash, he saw the boundless energy and blood, as well as the life fluctuations that were so powerful that they caused tidal waves.
If this energy, blood and vitality are released to the outside world, it can form a real energy-blood smoke that can shake the void.
Whoosh!
Yang Zaixing's eyes first glanced at Niu Gao, his eyes flickered, and then fell on Wang Jing. He looked at him for a while and burst out laughing, "If you want to recruit me, well, if you beat me, everything will be easier!"
"Come on, let me see what you've got!"
Yang Zaixing's strong fighting spirit firmly locked onto Wang Jing and the others, while the elite cavalry and Niu Gao were ignored by him.
This kind of mental locking is the precursor for military commanders to take action on the battlefield.
It was like stabbing forward with a long sword, giving people an extremely strong threat.
"How brave!"
Yang Zaixing's actions were very rude. Even Wang Jing, the lord of Daxia, seemed not to be taken seriously by him. Gan Ning became furious and jumped forward with a roar.
When he came, Wang Jing had already expected that recruiting talents like Zhang Jiuling and Xin Qiji would show his sincerity.
When recruiting Yang Zaixing, who has a more outspoken temper, he must be prepared to take action.
It is very common for military commanders, especially well-known military commanders, to engage in exchanging moves and fights with each other.
So Wang Jing specially brought Fu Youde and Gan Ning.
In fact, it would be more appropriate to bring strong generals like Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Dayan, but they have already been sent to Anqing, and Wang Jing cannot recruit them.
We can only let Fu Youde and Gan Ning take the lead.
boom!
Gan Ning also had a bad temper. After being provoked by Yang Zaixing, he drew out his long sword. His body flashed, and his whole body was wrapped in lawful aura. The air was torn in an instant. With one strike of the sword, the sharp edge struck Yang Zaixing's head. arm.
The moment he took action.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of more than ten miles also exploded with the surge of laws, and the vitality surged like a torrent, roaring in all directions.
When this majestic wave surged towards the village, Wang Jing raised his palm and pressed it slightly. The sky seemed to freeze for a moment, and the vitality of dozens of miles around seemed to have been ripped out of its bones, and the wave and wave immediately calmed down.
In Lin'an City.
Zhang Jiuling, who had become a member of Daxia, felt something in his heart and looked towards the outside of the city.
, Liu Bowen stood beside him, and both of them could see an illusory dragon roaring and circling, suppressing somewhere outside the city.
The Dragon Qi Forbidden Law prevents all evil from invading!
The energy shock caused by the fight between ninth-level generals can also be easily calmed down.
"It's Yang Zaixing! To recruit this general, you really need to convince people with your strength!"
Liu Bowen sighed slightly.
Zhang Jiuling was a little shocked when he heard this. Although he had heard Yang Zaixing's name in the teahouse and tavern during his time in Lin'an, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
It is said that the other party is a rare fierce general in the world and a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty. If His Majesty can successfully recruit this person, if the news is released, Zhao Song's military morale will first drop by 30%.
Boom boom!
The vitality of heaven and earth has been suppressed, but most of the strength of fierce generals like Yang Zaixing and Gan Ning lies in their physical bodies, extremely powerful bodies!
Yang Zaixing shouted repeatedly. The wooden spear in his hand was wrapped with the divine power of the law. He thrust it out and stabbed Gan Ning in front of his eyes in an instant. The assassination process seemed to be omitted. The weaker ninth level could be killed with one shot. Pierce.
However, Gan Ning was the general of the Baiqi Jie Battalion in history, and his strength was extraordinary. His long sword roared and rolled up endless waves of wind and water, barely blocking the elusive and powerful spear.
"General Gan is no match for Yang Zaixing!"
Fu Youde, who was watching the battle, frowned slightly.
Gan Ning was a rare strong general during the Three Kingdoms period, but compared with Yang Zaixing, he was ultimately inferior. If Gan Ning's force value reached ninety-five, he would be a powerful general in the realm at his peak.
Then Yang Zaixing's strength can reach ninety-nine or one hundred! He has the potential of the heavenly realm.
That is to say, the world of China has not yet broken through the shackles of the ninth level of heaven, which weakens Yang Zaixing's strength a lot. Otherwise, Gan Ning can be easily defeated in less than a dozen moves.
Wang Jing and Niu Gao looked normal, and it was obvious that Yang Zaixing's strength did not exceed their expectations.
