Although Li Xiang eliminated the right of Zhu Yuanzhang and others to directly lead the troops in terms of establishment, all the people under him were Zhu Yuanzhang and his gang, which did not conform to the principle of checks and balances. So after straightening out the army, he did not immediately sort out the government affairs system, but posted a list to recruit talents.

Before there was no list to recruit talents, many people spontaneously came to vote. However, most of the people who come to take refuge are ordinary people with the strength of their skills, and there are very few people who are really talented. When Zhang Bang recruited talents, some rumors of the Dingshijun also began to ferment, and many people heard that the Dingshijun was an army with strict discipline, excellent work style, and love the people like children. As a result, some really talented people began to appear, such as Li Shanchang, and then Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu.

Needless to say, Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu are the two of the Seven Heroes of Wudang. They heard that there was a rebel army here, led by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child named Zhang Wuji, so they immediately rushed to take a look. At first glance, it was really Zhang Wuji, so naturally he didn't say a word and stayed to help. Otherwise, Li Xiang's generals are all from the Ming Sect, how can they rest assured?

Li Shanchang is even more powerful, he is a local, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang in history, and later achieved the position of Prime Minister Zuo, which can be said to be a very popular minister. Later generations evaluated him and Xiao He on a par. Although Li Shanchang is still very young, he has already begun to show his strength, and after a conversation with Li Xiang, he was entrusted with the important task of serving as the head of the logistics department.

In addition, there are many talents who are slightly inferior, but they are also all kinds of talents urgently needed by the Dingshi Army. Li Xiang attaches great importance to these people, as long as he has time, he will talk to them one by one, and then assign them to suitable positions.

It didn't take long. Another distinguished guest came, and it turned out to be Peng Yingyu, a monk Peng Yingyu, one of the five scattered people of the Ming Sect. This great monk can be described as a typical representative of the six impurities. Although he has a shaved head and a ring scar. But what he did was a rebellious business. The reason why Mingjiao became the main force against the Mongols was due to Peng Yingyu's great contribution. It was he who connected everywhere that made the rebels from all walks of life rise and fall one after another, and made the Great Yuan Imperial Court anxious.

Peng Yingyu also heard that there was a new Dingshi Army, and there were several Ming Sect disciples among them, so she rushed to take a look. But when he came to take a look, he found that the leader was not a person from Mingjiao, and he was a half-grown child. This made him a little dissatisfied, but he also heard it from Zhu Yuanzhang and others. Li Xiang's martial arts are unpredictable and unimaginably high. So when he saw Li Xiang, he deliberately tried it, but he turned out to be disgraced.

Since he knew that he couldn't help Li Xiang, Peng Yingyu simply wooed Li Xiang and wanted him to join the Ming Sect. Li Xiang is not reluctant to join the Ming Sect, but if he joins the Ming Sect, when the six major factions besiege the Guangming Peak, he will stand up and turn the tide. It is not a mercy to the Mingjiao, but what he should do as a disciple of the Mingjiao. Moreover, Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu are also here, if he joins the Ming Sect, he can't make them angry to death?

So after thinking about it. Li Xiang politely refused. Of course, while refusing, he also showed a good impression of Mingjiao. made Peng Yingyu think that he refused because he was afraid of Wudang's feelings, but he was still very close to Mingjiao. So I made some requests in Li Xiang. When she asked Mingjiao to help, Peng Yingyu did not refuse. Promise to handle it as appropriate.

With the increase in the number of scholars who came to vote, Li Xiang began to form a civil service system. This time, he referred to the modern political system in relatively few places, and arranged it according to the three provinces and six ministries. Of course, it can't be called three provinces and six departments yet, but it's just that the names are different. In addition, he still made some changes, such as the addition of an education department under the Ministry of Rites, which is responsible for opening primary and secondary schools in the territory of Ding Shijun to teach children to read and write for free; A propaganda department is responsible for publicizing the military regulations, laws, and policies of the Dingshijun to increase the people's goodwill towards the Dingshijun. There is an additional transportation department under the Ministry of Industry, which is responsible for the construction and maintenance of roads; An R&D department that specializes in new technologies, such as explosives-pill packs.

In addition, Li Xiang also set up a team of female soldiers and invited Ji Xiaofu to serve as the commander. Although they are called female soldiers, they don't actually go to the battlefield to kill, but are responsible for caring for the wounded and setting up a theater troupe to do propaganda or something. This made Ji Xiaofu excited and a little worried, after Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu came, Ji Xiaofu has been avoiding them, and the two sides have not met until now. If she comes out to do something, it will be impossible to hide anymore. How will she explain the existence of Yang Buregret at that time?

But sooner or later, this matter will be exposed in front of people, and after Ji Xiaofu struggled for a few days, she finally made up her mind to go and ask Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu for their guilt.

Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu are both chivalrous and righteous people, and after figuring out why Ji Xiaofu asked for guilt, although they were angry enough, it was not good to make any decisions on behalf of Yin Liting. He could only send Ji Xiaofu back coldly, and then wrote to inform Zhang Sanfeng and Yin Liting.

Yin Liting, who got the letter, immediately rushed from Wudang Mountain non-stop. He was accompanied by Song Yuanqiao. As soon as Yin Liting arrived here, he couldn't wait to meet Ji Xiaofu, and the two talked alone for a long time, and finally Yin Liting came out in despair, so he found a restaurant to get drunk. After waking up, I have to continue drinking, which is quite a bit like I am drunk to death.

His decadent appearance made everyone very worried, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, and Mo Shenggu all came to persuade him, but unfortunately no one persuaded him. In the end, it was Ji Xiaofu who came forward and wanted to apologize in front of him, so he forced Yin Liting to stop drinking. doesn't drink anymore, but he wants to join the Dingshi Army and fight on the battlefield. He almost had the word "begging for death" written on his face, how could Li Xiang dare to accept him? had to ask Song Yuanqiao for help, and took him back to Wudang Mountain.

A few days later, a face appeared among the people who came to defect to Li Xiang that surprised Li Xiang, and it turned out to be Chang Yuchun, who had not been seen for a long time. He had joined other rebel armies, but the leaders lacked strategy, and they were dispersed not long after. Chang Yuchun had already heard about Li Xiang's formation of the Dingshi Army, but he already belonged to him, so it was not good to come and vote immediately. Now that the rebel army he was in had been dispersed, it was just in time for him to get what he wanted and come to Li Xiang's command.

While building a base and resisting the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, the Dingshi Army slowly grew stronger. However, Li Xiang remembered that the key to Zhu Yuanzhang's success in history was to "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king". He tried his best to build the army under his command, and even took out some third-rate and second-rate martial arts to popularize in the army, bringing out a force with extremely strong combat power; He tried his best to pay as little as possible, used the means of encouraging commerce to accumulate wealth, hoarded grain and grass, not only led the people in the base area to survive the great drought, but also made the people's lives easier, not only can every family have enough to eat, but also can tear a few feet of cloth to make a new dress during the New Year's holiday; Although Dingshijun was already famous at this time, Li Xiang always claimed to be the general of Dingshi, not only did he not call himself the emperor, but he was not even a king.

Under the guidance of Li Xiang's advanced thinking, the Dingshi Army developed extremely rapidly, quietly occupied a large area of territory, had more than 50,000 regular troops, more than 100,000 garrison troops, and the people were also soldiers of the whole people, and some third-rate martial arts could be learned by anyone who wanted to learn them. The garrison was a little less equipped and trained than the regular army, but it was also much better than the armies of other forces. When they need to go to war, they can be pulled out at any time. If the casualties are too large, as long as a recruitment document is sent, more than ten thousand capable soldiers can be gathered at any time.

Before you know it, a few years have passed. Li Xiang has grown from a fourteen-year-old boy to a heroic young commander with no shortage of superiors. And Yang Buregret and Yin Li have also grown up and become big girls like flowers.

Li Xiang has always regarded these two girls as sisters, and martial arts are even more hand-in-hand teaching. When she was dressed as Mu Nianci, she had an experience of raising children, so these two girls were also trained by him very well. Yang Buregret practiced the martial arts in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and Yin Li practiced the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School. Don't look at the two of them, one is seventeen and the other is fifteen, their martial arts are already considerable, and they can compete with Mo Shenggu.

And Li Xiang's martial arts have also been improving over the years. Originally, after his "Jiuyang Divine Skill" was completed, even if he practiced to the top, there was no room for improvement except for his increasingly profound skills. But the last time he crossed into the realm of rules, he had been thinking about how to apply the rules to martial arts. After years of research, I finally got a clue.

Last time he crossed, Li Xiang's promotion to demigod relied on his comprehension of the rules of the wind, and now in the martial arts plane, he studied true qi. What exactly is True Qi? How did they come about? Why are there all sorts of amazing features? Although these issues have not been thoroughly studied, there is a set of reasonable hypotheses. According to this set of theories, Li Xiang is more flexible, more economical, and more powerful when using true qi.

In the past, Li Xiang used ten success forces to hit one palm and caused destructive power, but now he can do it with five success forces. In the past, he used the "Six Veins Divine Sword" to shoot out a sword qi, which could exist for a maximum of three breaths, but now he can have a full cup of tea after leaving his body, which is comparable to a flying sword. But the most amazing thing is in the light power, using Wudang's light skill "Tiyun Zong", he can jump more than ten zhang high without using any object to borrow force, and then fall slowly like a feather, which is simply a fairy method.

And with the help of his supernatural light skills, Li Xiang performed in front of the military and civilians from time to time to consolidate his title of "little fairy". After a long time, someone really made a statue of him and placed it at home to worship, which made Li Xiang cry and laugh.

Finally one day, Yu Lianzhou received a letter from Song Yuanqiao, telling him that the six major factions were going to encircle and suppress Guangmingding, and asked him to put down his military affairs and go back with Mo Shenggu to participate in this unified action.

After Li Xiang heard about it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, but he had waited for it. As long as he seizes the position of the leader of the Ming Sect and integrates the power of the Ming Sect, the strength in his hands will increase tenfold! The dream of driving the Mongols out of the Central Plains is not far off. (To be continued.) )
