Chapter Seventy-Two: The Establishment of the "Heavenly Punishment"
In the past three days, Gu Xuan and Ai Ji have also met twice in private.
For everything Gu Xuan did, Ai Ji was shocked. Contrary to the rumors that are now circulating among the common people, there is no question of why the four nobles would confess their crimes in person.
Ai Ji must have known that all of this was definitely done by Gu Xuan, the main god envoy. So compared to oral statements, the testimony with his own eyes made Ai Ji even more jealous of Gu Xuan.
The alliance between the two also benefited from this very solid, and he brought Gu Xuan a piece of news: that is, Minister Ernest had regarded him as a thorn in his side and wanted to send the Rakshasa Four Ghosts to assassinate him.
Then Gu Xuan received a message: General Bude was going to summon him again. This almost simultaneous move made Gu Xuan understand why.
Bud should have known what Earnest was thinking, so he deliberately used this method to protect him. Not even surprisingly, Gu Xuan was labeled by Hui Bude.
It just so happened that this was a situation that Gu Xuan was happy to see, and he had originally planned to take the Bude line.
In short, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and now there are four people left in the room: Black Pupil, Silver, Natara, and Hill. They were all under Gu Xuan's orders, and it could be said that they belonged to the power he dispatched.
"Ciel and Black Hitomi, you two follow me."
"Yes." The two women replied in unison.
Whether it is Hill or Black Hitomi, they have a strong talent in combat, and have high combat intelligence and execution. But compared to the management tasks that Gu Xuan had to give to Yin and Natara, they were definitely not good at it.
"Silver, Natara, you two are mainly responsible for gathering men and building towns." Gu Xuan then gave Yin and Natara the most important task.
That's to build towns!
In fact, this practice of aristocrats' private fiefdoms and raising private soldiers was not uncommon in the empire. In the original book, even the emperor was captured. The establishment of a new state was also delayed for a long time, and this was due to the local power within the empire.
After their empire was overthrown, they were all ready to move, and they all wanted to raise troops and establish their own dynasties. However, Red Hitomi was the only one left in the assassin industry, strangling all their ambitions in the cradle.
However, the headache is that Gu Xuan is not a nobleman now, so he can't establish a town in a proper way, but this does not prevent him from sending people over to establish a base first.
As for the name of the town established in the future, Gu Xuan has difficulty in naming it, and this land is close to the northwest forest, to the west, so the name is also very simple: "Senxi Town".
The logistics staff bought a batch of slaves from the slave traders, following the advice of the three girls, Ai'er, Fa'er, and Luna. What made Gu Xuan look at it was that there were many slaves, craftsmen or blacksmiths who knew a craft. This is a good surprise, but the price is on the expensive side.
A total of 4,000 gold coins were spent, and more than 200 logistics personnel, plus more than 100 fighters recruited by Silver, moved to Senxi Town.
For slaves, being able to get rid of this status and become a commoner is basically their lifelong hope. Therefore, Gu Xuan also used his identity as a reward to keep the enthusiasm of these slaves high in building towns.
Of course, specific matters in this area need to be carried out by specialized personnel. Silver and Natara's task is to take care of this. Gu Xuan directly invested 1 gold coin, and let Yin be responsible for it with full authority, and Natara as an assistant.
Although the upfront investment is large, once the town is up and running, there is no need to worry about the source of money. The geographical advantage of Senxi Town is its proximity to the Great Northwest Forest, which is full of treasures.
However, the dangerous species in it are a deadly threat to ordinary humans. But Silver and Natara's teachings are far superior to those of some Exploration Mercenaries.
Then these 100 or so people became mercenaries and went to the great forests of the northwest to hunt dangerous species, obtain materials, and pick medicines. Open a straight road to Longxi City, so that Senxi Town can be used as a transit point for the trade line between Longxi City and the Imperial Capital, attract caravans, and also make money by guarding caravans.
So the biggest difficulty at present is that there is no legal right to own the territory. Gu Xuan was also worried about how to get the title, if it really didn't work, he could only ask Tolan at that time. His civil service gave him the power to establish his own domain.
......
At this point, Black Hitomi, Silver, Natara, and Hill have all arranged their next actions. It can be said that when the plot begins, Gu Xuan will have an elite group, which will be an extremely important part of Gu Xuan's plan.
At that time, Minister Earnest will definitely begin to purge the conscience officials, and his personal power is very limited. Therefore, after the training of this elite group, its main role is to protect the officials of the conscience.
Moreover, those who have assassination talent among them can also become assassination squads alone. After all, many times, it is necessary to use the most straightforward means of assassination.
Yin and Natara nodded and understood Gu Xuan's plans and thoughts, and asked, "Then Leader Gu Xuan, has the name of our group been decided?" ”
Belch! After being reminded by the two of them, Gu Xuan discovered this problem.
He has a problem with naming names, but their essence is to build a force secretly by building towns. So the concept of the group, as well as the name, is very important.
Gu Xuan lowered his head and pondered, in fact, in addition to the plan discussed with Yin and Natara. He also had a plan to overthrow the Empire, but that was too shocking for a few people.
In the original book, there are three groups of organizations. Not to mention Sheila's wild hounds, the Night Raid was specially established by the Revolutionary Army to assassinate the corrupt people of the Empire. The ultimate goal is to assassinate Minister Earnest who has corrupted the Empire.
And the hunter is a special police officer suggested by Estes to deal with the night attack, hunting villains like a falcon, and the ultimate goal is to solve the night attack group.
Then, Gu Xuan's purpose in setting up the group seemed to be a combination of the two. For example, it is necessary to purge the empire of the corrupt people, but the main task is to protect the officials of conscience. However, it is also a force that will deal with the revolutionary army with the nature of the hunters, and Gu Xuan's ultimate goal is to overthrow the rule of the empire and kill the little emperor!
In addition, the society of cutting off the red pupils is equivalent to the ancient feudal dynasty, believing in the divine grant of monarchy, so the final killing of the little emperor and overthrowing the rule of the empire can also be explained by this method: the decay of the empire makes the heavens unable to look at it, so the heavens specially issued a punishment to overthrow the empire.
But it's not the last step yet, so ......
Gu Xuan smiled playfully and said, "It's decided." The ghosts have done everything that hurts the heavens and reason, and the heavens will give them the punishment they deserve. ”
"Then we are the agents of the Divine, the executors of the punishment of the cunning and wicked."
That is: "Heavenly Punishment"! ”
Black Pupil, Silver, Natara, and Hill, all four of them knelt on one knee when they heard this, and put their right hands into fists to show their loyalty.
"Yes!" A loud and spirited voice echoed through this small room.
