Pan Yan turned his gaze to Fu Chenxue, who shook his head slightly, signaling him not to get excited.
Pan Yi couldn't get used to Pan Yan's face, so he stood up and shouted: "Without the 'Qingqiu Clan' and Brother Panyi, can our Ten Clans have today?" Killing Pantai is not the end, the real battle has just begun. In the entire 'Canglan Empire', the "Qingyang Tribe" is only a small land, with a population of less than one thousandth of the country, if we don't work together, how can we resist the conquest of the imperial army? Occupy 'Qingyang City', the ten clans will take revenge, and get unprecedented benefits, will we wait for the empire's army to kill, let's pat our butts and leave, leaving all the dangers to the 'Qingqiu clan'? β
Pan Yan said coldly: "Patriarch Panyi, you don't understand what I mean, let's build 'Qingyang City', share blessings and difficulties, I am not against the tyranny of the ten clans against the empire, I just said that the formation of an army should be considered in the long run." β
Pan Yu stood up and shouted: "At this moment, maybe the army of 'Heishui County' is already on the way, let's think about it in the long run, what to use to defend 'Qingyang City'?" If you don't have an army, do you want us to beg to surrender? Or are we just going to do nothing and wait for the Imperial army to come and slaughter the city? β
Pan Yan said: "Why does the 'Qingyang Ministry' have to have an army? Once the army of 'Heishui County' arrived, the ten clans all obeyed the orders of the 'Qingyang King'. Like this attack on the 'Qingyang Division', our ten clans have cooperated very well. In this way, the 'King of Qingyang' does not have to spend a huge amount of money to raise an army, but is borne by each clan itself, coming during the war and leaving after the war, isn't it great? β
Pan Yan's words were very demagogic, obviously winning the support of some patriarchs, and whispering in the hall. Pan Yi said angrily: "The army is under the control of all ethnic groups, how to conduct training? How can the combat effectiveness go up? Once the war is ignited, what should I do if someone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and does not obey the dispatch when he is in battle? The improvised patchwork army is simply a rabble, how can it hold back the iron hooves of the imperial army? β
Pan Yan snorted coldly, disapproving. Fu Chenxue saw that the meeting was at a stalemate, and quietly made a gesture to Pan Yan. Pan Yan understood and said loudly: "Everyone be quietβlet's listen to the instructions of the Great Elder!" This is God's command, and we must not disobey it! β
The hall was suddenly silent, Fu Chenxue represented the decree of God at the moment, and no one dared to disobey it, unless anyone wanted to become the target of the public. Fu Chenxue glanced at everyone and said, "I heard your speeches very clearly just now!" I would like to tell you that we are creating a great history, and today's meeting of the Ten Clans will go down in the annals of the Pangu Clan as the beginning of a new era. We should take a long-term view, the road under our feet has just begun, 'Qingyang Division' is not the end, 'Heishui County' is not the end, and 'Mocking Wind State' will not be the end. When that day came, the 'Qingqiu Clan', 'White Mantis Clan', 'Chipan Clan', and 'Tiger Wing Clan' were no longer ninth-rate clans to be trampled on, but the mighty kings of the Mingzhen Empire with vast lands. We can light a spark here today, and this fire will surely burn the entire 'Canglan Empire' with the power of a prairie fire in the future, and everything you hate will be turned to ashes in the flames. β
Fu Chenxue's words were very inflammatory, and the patriarchs of all ethnic groups were full of emotion, and even Pan Yan's eyes shot a strange light. Everyone has the ambition to make a contribution, create a new history, and lead their people to unprecedented heights, who can refuse this kind of confusion?
Fu Chenxue observed his words and knew that his words touched the hearts of the patriarchs of all clans, paused for a moment, and continued: "We are here today to discuss the formation of an army, in fact, in the long run, we are preparing for the establishment of a new empire. Think about it, when you have the opportunity to become the king of a state or the king of a country, will you still guard a ninth-rate clan and refuse to let go? Forming a strong army is the guarantee of your success, and without an invincible army of tigers and wolves, it will be broken by the army of the 'Canglan Empire'. Now that Lu Ming is clearly at your feet, those who go along will prosper, and those who go against will die, whether it will be a thousand years old or a dead family, I think this truth doesn't need to be said, right? β
Fu Chenxue's words landed, Pan Yan took the lead, and the patriarchs of all clans knelt on the ground, Pan Yan hesitated, and knelt down, and everyone shouted together: "Follow the decree of the Great Elder!" β
After the resolution, the ten tribes did their best to form a new "Qingyang Army", with a number of 12,000 people, divided into three armies, left, center, and right, and continued to use the names of "Heavenly Crossbow", "Purple Lightning" and "Wind Blade". As the "King of Qingyang", Pan Yan commanded the three armies. The "Qingyang Army" broke the boundaries, mixed races, mixed men and women, trained together, and did not distinguish between each other.
While stepping up military training, Fu Chenxue sent many people to infiltrate the "Heishui County" to spy on intelligence and detect movements. This is thanks to the great assistance of Qinghuang, who specially trained a team of spies, named "Dark Sword", although the dark sword is small, but the effect is very large. Its members, mostly women and children, went out of Qinghuang's training camp and blended into every corner of the "Blackwater County", "Mocking Wind State" and "Canglan Empire" like water droplets. This is the most perfect spider web woven by Qinghuang herself, she and Fu Chenxue are the spiders in the center of the web, and the trembling of each spider silk can deliver the news to them in a timely and accurate manner.
There are many metal deposits in the underground world, such as iron, copper, zinc, chromium, nickel, titanium, etc., and the purity is much higher than that of the surface, and there are inexhaustible gunpowder raw materials and lava ground fire here, which are suitable for large-scale smelting. Fu Chenxue selected 5,000 outstanding craftsmen and soldiers from all ethnic groups to establish the "Shenji Battalion", which was in charge of Panqi Panni and Panlu. When Fu Chenxue threw piles of drawings to them, Pan Ni and Pan Lu were both second monks and confused. Pan Qi blushed and asked, "Great Elder, these ...... What is it? Can they also be used in war? β
Fu Chenxue smiled: "Of course you can!" They are the best weapons and their name is 'Artillery'! β
"'Artillery'?" Pan Qi and the others looked at each other, "Is this thing more powerful than a giant axe?" β
Fu Chenxue laughed. Three hundred furnaces were put into operation at the same time, and batches of muskets, artillery, Miao knives, and various new weapons were continuously equipped into the "Qingyang Army." In order to improve the progress of the project, a large number of people from various ethnic groups were transferred to join the ranks of mining and casting. Due to the lack of precision machinery, all kinds of firearms need to be built by hand
