Although Wang Jing had never met Chen Yucheng, he was familiar with his name and knew his abilities. When he entered the hall, he took a moment to look at him and felt very satisfied.
The other party was born in the Taiping Army. In the thousands of years of history of the source world, he did not have much advantage compared to other famous generals.
However, he and Li Xiucheng supported the Taiping Army in the later period and defeated the Manchu Qing repeatedly, which was enough to prove their ability.
"He is indeed heroic and vigorous, a rare hero in the world!" Wang Jing thought to himself.
Chen Yucheng saw many famous ministers and generals in the palace who had different auras but all had unique styles.
The trace of arrogance in his heart was instantly wiped out.
Next, Wang Jingyan smiled at Yan Yan and asked a few questions to test the opponent. Chen Yucheng pondered for a while, but all of them were meaningful. He had a unique talent in training troops and commanding on the battlefield.
After getting to know the other party, Wang Jing did not show off, directly welcomed the other party to join Daxia, and appointed him as the guerrilla general of the Guards on the spot. Wang Jingdu agreed to Chen Yucheng's conditions of treating the Taiping soldiers well and sending envoys to persuade Shi Dakai. The Taiping soldiers who originally followed him were all released from prisoner-of-war and hard labor camps. Those who were willing to farm farmed, and those who were willing to continue serving in the army were selected and trained. They would first serve as guardsmen and wait until they had the opportunity to be selected as combat soldiers.
The number of soldiers in the Daxia Dynasty is close to two million, which is a very large number of soldiers. However, these soldiers have long been transformed after fighting in great battles. Even ordinary soldiers, in the civilian towns and villages in Daxia, Can beat all young and strong invincible opponents.
Therefore, Daxia now rarely uses prisoners and recruits to fill its combat troops. Those captured and defeated enemy soldiers will be trained and trained to fight together with the combat troops before the battle is over, but their role is as auxiliary troops and cannon fodder.
You can't enjoy the treatment of a soldier at all.
Chen Yucheng's surrender would at most allow the Taiping Army under his command to live a better life and have the possibility of being promoted to combat soldiers, but it was impossible to be directly incorporated into combat soldiers.
Wang Jing would not make an exception just because of a British king. After Chen Yucheng thanked En and retired.
Wang Jing looked at the other party's disappearing figure and couldn't help but think of the few talents still in Jinling. Among them was Zhang Zhao, an old minister who was loyal to Soochow and unwilling to serve Daxia.
He, a famous ninth-level minister, obviously still has a long life, but he has already lived a life of retirement in a courtyard in the city. He walks around for a while every day and then returns to the courtyard to study.
It feels like being hidden away from the city.
Wang Jing also thought about asking him to serve Daxia, but neither Lu Su nor Gu Yong could persuade him. As time passed, Wang Jing could only let it go.
Another one is Qi Jiguang, the Ming God of War who is being held in custody. He had been caught in Jinling for such a long time, but he still did not relent and bow his head.
Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian had a good relationship with him, but like Zhang Zhao, they failed.
"If Qi Jiguang can win and work for me, that will be even more powerful!"
Wang Jing sighed secretly.
Qi Jiguang is good at military training, military formations, and command. Except for his personal strength, he is almost an all-rounder. If he joins the Xia Army, the Xia Army's soldiers will no longer have to worry about losses.
Because every time a soldier is lost, more trained soldiers will be added later...
"What's the current situation in Xuzhou?"
After talking about Jiujiang and Chen Yucheng, Wang Jing asked about Xuzhou in the north.
Shen Yi immediately stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the original Xuzhou Army has been reorganized and has been replenished in Lanling and other places in the northeast of Xuzhou to form garrison and build forts, which have become Xuzhou's peripheral barrier."
"In addition, General Yang Kan has also completed the reorganization of the troops stationed in Xuzhou. Chen Gong assisted the camp to pacify the place and sort out the people. The territory of Xuzhou has been pacified..."
Xuzhou took the initiative to join Daxia, but this was mainly due to the will of Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others. There were also some reluctances from local snakes and local forces rooted in Xuzhou.
When Chen Gong and others made the decision in Xuzhou, they had to rely on them to govern the place. But when people from Daxia arrived, this governance authority would naturally be taken back, harming them.
Interests.
So it was inevitable that someone would cause trouble secretly, but these troubles were all solved by Yang Kan and Chen Gong without causing much disturbance.
Chen Yi's current report also officially announced that Xuzhou had integrated into Daxia and became a part of the Daxia Dynasty.
After the situation in the north stabilizes, Xuzhou Xingying will also be reorganized into Xuzhou Xingying.
"Okay! Well done! The most important thing in Xuzhou is stability. Don't expand externally easily. Let Chen Gong and Yang Kan lead the army and civilians to reclaim farmland, teach farmers and mulberry farmers, and use two or three years to solidify the foundation!"
Wang Jing has no idea of going north, so his approach to dealing with Xuzhou is to focus on defense and only focus on the development of internal affairs.
The borders of Daxia's territory are mainly in three directions.
Now Xuzhou has just stabilized, the southeast has not yet recovered, and Jiujiang has just been conquered... Although Wang Jing wants to reach Jiangxia as soon as possible, it is really not suitable for him in a short time, especially within one or two months. Use troops again.
Especially the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers for the expedition.
After winning a series of battles, you must give your soldiers a certain amount of time to soothe their nerves. If you push too hard, the second battle will start as soon as one battle ends. Even the invincible Iron Army will have some mental fluctuations.
If you are not careful, problems will arise on the battlefield, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of you.
Time flies so fast, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Jinling City is still no different from usual. Flowers adorn the brocade and fire cooks the oil. It only took more than seven years to build the entire city, but the stable environment and bustling markets give people a sense of prosperity.
The people, soldiers and civilians inside and outside Jinling have slowly integrated into this place and truly regard this place as their hometown.
Just like in the history of the Origin World, four years ago it felt like a troubled and precarious world, but after five years, the world was at peace. It had only been a few years, but it seemed like a long time had passed.
It feels like a world away, like a different world.
There are some signs of this in Jinling City today. This is the strong impact of a peaceful and stable life.
Especially when the outside world of Daxia was still in turmoil, the comparison between the two was even more dazzling. It's shocking.
Many merchants and scholars from all over the south, as well as many spies sent by forces in places where the Daxia army had not set foot, were also shocked by the prosperity of Jinling.
In Jiangxi and other places, after Jiujiang was conquered and Chen Han was overthrown, many Wubao cottages and separatist forces sent people to Jinling to pay homage to the Emperor of Daxia.
Those forces that had been approached by Daxia envoys in the past also quickly invited the envoys to discuss the conditions for joining Daxia.
on the street.
A carriage was moving slowly, and there were several men riding horses around the carriage. After seeing the excitement in Jinling City, they were all moved.
These men on horseback are Fang La and his party from the southeast.
Fang La, Fang Maang, Fang Tianding, Fang Jie, and Deng Yuanjue who came to Jinling as envoys.
Although he had surrendered to Daxia, Fang La's identity was somewhat taboo, so after the initial peace in the southeast, Fang La took his family members to Jinling with the reminders of Bao Daoyi and Lu Shinang.
The generals under Fang La and the original members of the Holy Army were all taken over and reorganized by Xia Jun. After Fang Jie and Fang Maang obtained military positions, they could only serve as generals in a certain unit of the Xia Army.
At this time, Xia Jun would not easily let others lead the old army, especially those generals who had captured and surrendered. Chen Yucheng, who defected not long ago, is also included.
Of course, exceptions can be made for those who take the initiative to surrender with a large number of troops. For example, Gao Shun and Cao Xing who surrendered to Xuzhou can continue to lead their old troops.
This was considered a preferential treatment given to them by Wang Jing and Daxia, and it was also used to buy horse bones for thousands of gold.
"As expected of a place where dragons and tigers roost!" Fang La couldn't help but praise.
Compared with Jinling City, the territory he occupied before was simply a barren land. If he wanted to achieve great things in that kind of place alone, there was no hope for him to compete with other heroes.
at this point.
Fang La also just figured it out. From the moment he entered Suzhou and then got closer to Jinling, he felt more guilty. The original unwillingness and residual ambition that he had been forced to persuade to join also dissipated the moment he saw Jinling City.
If the gap is not big, he can still think of how to catch up.
But if the gap is too big, then all that will arise in my heart is despair!
But not everyone, even though they are still civilians, will have the idea to replace it after seeing the emperor's bicycle frame.
"Yes, His Majesty is wise, mighty, and generous. We are lucky to be able to join the imperial court. If it were any later, we would have no chance of winning against the soldiers of Great Xia!"
Fang Maang interface said.
Fang Jie and Fang Tianding kept looking at the people on the street. There were many people on the street with different identities. There were businessmen, scholars, veiled women, and high-spirited young people.
Many of these people have strong auras, and they have obviously entered the stage of life transformation. There are even third-level warriors and fourth-level Gangqi warriors appearing.
Masters who are relatively rare in other places cannot be said to be found everywhere in Jinling City, but if you want to look for them, you can definitely find them with a quick glance.
Wang Jing has been promoting the basic military training method in the army for a long time.
As time goes by, this basic body-training method inevitably spreads. Although the military body-building method requires going to the battlefield to make rapid progress, this basic method can also have good training capabilities without going to the battlefield.
There are hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians in Daxia. With such a population base, many advanced warriors will naturally appear. When people gain strength, ambition is born. The place these advanced warriors want to go most is Jinling.
That's why there are so many warriors in the city.
The prince Fang Tianding could only sigh secretly after seeing the endless warriors in the city. Like his father Fang La, he gave up the illusory ambitions in his heart.
Suddenly, Fang Jie on the side focused his eyes on a man on the street in the distance.
Fang Tianding also followed his gaze.
I saw the man in the distance who was tall and majestic, rough and heroic, just looking at his appearance, he looked like a hero. He looked about thirty years old, with a black beard and bright eyes.
"What a hero!"
Fang Tianding couldn't help but admire.
As if hearing his words, the man in the distance suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like those of an extremely sharp magic weapon, which made people frightened. Not long after Fang Tianding broke through to the eighth level, he thought that his strength was not weak.
But when he was glanced at by the other party, his figure suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously pulled on the reins to make the war horse neigh.
Fortunately, Fang Jie on the side pulled the reins and prevented Fang Tianding from making a fool of himself.
Fang La and Fang Mang also noticed this, and Fang Mang quickly handed it over, and the man in the distance apologized. The other party then retracted his gaze, turned around and strode away.
"Hey! Jinling is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! As soon as I came in, I met a top master!"
"I don't know who this master is!"
Fang Mang had good eyesight and could sense the strength of the other party and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"This man is very powerful. He should have come to seek refuge with His Majesty. In a few days, maybe we will know his origins!"
Deng Yuanjue said.
Fang La nodded, suddenly feeling a little unmotivated, and his fighting spirit was mostly drained by his ambition. He said lightly: "First go to the Ministry of War to report, and then find a place to stay. Well, it's best to buy a house!"
"If nothing happens in the future, I will live in Jinling!"
Fang Tianding, Fang Jie and others had already predicted that Fang's future success in Daxia would depend on the contributions of Fang Jie and others.
"Also, Tianding, you should go to the Ministry of Etiquette and ask when is the appropriate time for your niece to enter the palace."
Fang La continued.
In the carriage beside him were his sister Fang Baihua and niece Fang Jinzhi. They had offered to send Fang Jinzhi to the palace and marry Daxia.
Now they have become Daxia's ministers, but what they said before cannot be pretended.
Tsukuru never said that.
Fang Jinzhi's entry into the palace will also make it easier for the Fang family to gain a foothold in Daxia.
"I know, kid!"
Fang Tianding breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down his mind that was shocked by the man just now, and quickly agreed.
When Fang La and others were preparing to find a place to stay.
The man who had just released his momentum slightly and shocked Fang Tianding with his gaze came to the door of a mansion.
This mansion has a large area and a very grand door. There is also a beast in front of the door to ward off evil spirits.
From time to time, a group of soldiers patrolled the area. "Who are you?"
When the man approached the side door, the door of the mansion immediately came out. Seemingly seeing the man's majesty, the door suppressed his arrogance and asked.
The man took out a greeting card and said, "This is your master's old acquaintance..."
Menzi took the invitation.
With a quick glance, he saw the name on the greeting card. "Han Qinhu!"
Menzi was shocked and suddenly looked up at the man in front of him. He was really an old acquaintance of his master.
He immediately bent down and said respectfully: "Please wait a moment, distinguished guest!" After saying that, he immediately took the invitation and hurried to the house.
A moment later, Gao Ying, an important minister of the three provinces of the Great Xia Dynasty and a privy envoy, appeared in front of the door in his regular clothes with an excited look on his face.
"It turns out that Brother Han is here. Quick, open the middle door!"
Gao Ying ran out. After seeing the man, he became even more excited. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm.
