Volume 2 The Hundred Wild Tribes Volume 3 Chapter 201 Men should be determined!
In the first line of the holy decree, there are no bells and whistles, only five big characters are written: "Men should be determined!"
Under these five big characters, there are a few very short lines, to the effect that the young Kong family Kong Ming is intelligent, loyal and brave to defend the country, and he is given the title of General of Wupindangkou, the title of viscount, 500 households, and the fief is located in Yunxia City, Izumo County!
Under normal circumstances, such a holy decree is decent, and almost all canonization decrees are written like this, but the five big characters on the top of this holy decree reveal a trace of unusualness!
What does it mean to "be determined by a man"?
Different people naturally have different understandings of this sentence, but this sentence is easy to understand in combination with the canonization content of the holy decree that the so-called man's ambition should be to fight on the battlefield!
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Izumo-gun will soon be in turmoil, and if you want to make a career on the battlefield, is there a more suitable place than Izumo-gun?
In the Cangnan Empire, except for Karasuma County, which has always been at war with the Barbarian Prefecture, only Izumo County has the opportunity to fight the enemies of Shazhou. As a descendant of the Kong family, Kong Ming has no chance of getting ahead in Karasuma County, so if he really wants to join the army, he can only find a way in Izumo County.
Just now, Crown Prince Hu Hao had already pointed out that the place suitable for Kong Ming's trial was Izumo County! Now combined with this holy decree, isn't the intention of the Hu royal family still obvious?
General Dangkou is just a fifth-rank general, and there are no real soldiers and horses under his command. However, the word "dangkou" itself has a very rich meaning. You must know that for the Cangnan Empire, Lu Dao can be called the enemy of "Kou". Who else but the sand pirates in Shazhou?
As for those barbarians in the barbarian state, they are just barbarians who cannot be educated, although they are the enemies of life and death, they cannot be called a "Kou" word.
If you want to "sweep the bandits", is there any other choice than sweeping the sand pirates in Shazhou?
One more point. That is the fief that Kong Ming obtained, and it is in Yunxia City!
Kong Ming had just come of age and was able to obtain the title of a viscount. It can be regarded as the emperor's grace. And after Kong Ming has this title, even if he starts from scratch, he will create a side branch of the Kong family in Yunxia City. It can be regarded as having capital!
However, what kind of place is Yunxia City? This city can be the hometown of the famous "Renjun" Duan Ziwen, and it is also a big city in Izumo County that is very close to the border of Shazhou!
Sanfeng Castle, which guards the border of Izumo County, is naturally the closest to Shazhou, but Sanfeng Castle is a military town, and there are no civilians living in the city except for the garrison. After bypassing Sanfeng City, less than a hundred miles is Yunxia City.
Yunxia Castle was the largest city on the border of Izumo County, and the population of the city was over five million! But on the border, it's a big city second to none!
The reason why "Renjun" Duan Ziwen is so famous is because he sacrificed his life to prevent the sand thieves from invading Yunxia City! Otherwise, as long as Yunxia City is broken. It will definitely be ruined, and it is also a loss that the Cangnan Empire cannot bear!
Kong Ming's fief is in Yunxia City, which can be regarded as the closest fief to the border line, and usually, there are few foreign nobles except for the locals. will set up their fiefdom here. At least, in the past few hundred years, Kong Ming should be the first foreign nobleman to have a fief in Yunxia City.
Five hundred households, for a viscount, although it is not much, it is by no means a little, if it is in an ordinary small town or town, it can be regarded as a wealthy family. However, in Yunxia City, which has a population of more than five million, there are 500 households in the city, which is really nothing.
Kong Ming's fiefdom is in Yunxia City, so guarding Yunxia City is also his responsibility for Kong Ming. At the very least, he is responsible for the five hundred households in the fiefdom, right? However, Kong Ming, who only has five hundred households in the food town, is not a general force in Yunxia City, so how easy is it to be in the dominant position in Yunxia City?
At this time, the holy decree in Kong Ming's hand, although it doesn't seem complicated, contains a lot of information, and it is definitely worth Kong Ming's careful consideration!
Although Hu Hao has already stated that this holy decree is a little different, if Kong Ming is unwilling to accept the decree, he only needs to return the holy decree, and it will not happen. However, will Kong Ming really not accept this challenge and return the holy decree?
Hu Hao seemed very patient, smiled at Kong Ming and remained silent, as if he had decided that Kong Ming would not refuse this holy decree!
An extraordinary character like Kong Ming is just an adult trial that goes through the motions for others, and it must make some extraordinary movements, which is normal, right?
For Kong Ming, going to Izumo County was a challenge, why didn't he accept this challenge? If there was any danger to leaving the Imperial Capital, it would be ridiculous, because Yuan Force cultivators were definitely not flowers that grew in greenhouses, and if they didn't have the experience of going out for trials, how could they continue to grow stronger?
After a while, a smile appeared on Kong Ming's face, he slowly closed the holy decree, and smiled at Hu Hao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the generous gift from His Majesty the Emperor really makes His Majesty feel terrified. How can he afford such a heavy reward when he is young and knowledgeable, and he has only just come of age, and he has not made an inch of contribution to the empire?"
Hearing Kong Ming say this, Hu Hao couldn't help but feel a little surprised: Could it be that Kong Ming is preparing to return the decree?
But then Kong Ming changed his words and said: "But just as His Majesty the Emperor said in the holy decree, 'Men should be determined'! Kong Ming is not talented, but he is also a member of the empire, since he has the opportunity to serve the country, he naturally cannot escape! As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, it should be regarded as a trial!"
Speaking of this, Kong Ming got up and left the table, held the holy decree high above the top, and made a big bow in the direction of the emperor mountain, and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Longen!"
Seeing this, Hu Hao laughed and said, "Brother Kong Ming is really a young hero! To be honest, the second emperor brother of this king is leading the army to garrison Sanfeng City, and he may have the opportunity to get closer to Brother Kong Ming! Of course, today is the sixteenth birthday of Brother Kong Ming, even if he receives the holy decree, he can arrange his own time, and after making preparations, it is not too late to go to the fiefdom!"
Kong Ming responded with a smile: "With His Royal Highness the Prince Lao's concern, it should be so! Today is the coming-of-age ceremony under the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only honored guest, if you can't entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, it will be too rude!"
The next banquet was naturally the joy of the guests and hosts, and after a lot of excitement, Hu Hao said goodbye and left!
As soon as Hu Hao left, everyone in the Confucian family naturally rushed to pass on the holy decree in Kong Ming's hand, and after the holy decree was circulated around, the expressions on everyone's faces were different, and more showed thoughtful expressions.
As Kong Ming's father, Kong Jun was naturally the most concerned about Kong Ming's affairs, and said with a frown at this time: "What is the purpose of the Hu royal family to divide Ming'er to Izumo County at this time?"
Kong Fanshu said on the side: "Today's Emperor Hu De is a man of great talent, and it is rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the ambition of the world! Elder Kong Ming is the most outstanding talent of my Confucian family, but he is so young, if he can encircle Elder Kong Ming well, it will naturally be of great help to the ambition of the Hu family! Hehe, if the military allows the Cao family to dominate, how can the Hu family rest assured to fight for the world? It seems that I don't know whether Lu Dao is the current emperor or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but this is to support our Confucian family and expand its strength in the military! Just imagine that at the beginning of the founding of the country, didn't Emperor Hu Shuo create the situation of the Cangnan Empire with the joint support of our Kong and Cao families? His Royal Highness the Prince of Lao Fuguan is not under the founding emperor!
Kong Fanshu served as the prime minister of the empire, although he was not in charge of actual government affairs, but he had a very thorough understanding of the turmoil in the court and the emperor's mental skills. Therefore, Kong Fanshu's analysis is already quite close to the truth.
At this time, Kong Ming smiled on the side: "Father, the head of the family, there is nothing to worry about! No matter what the purpose of the Hu royal family is, in the end, it still depends on the power of our Kong family. After the coming-of-age ceremony, I really need to go out for a trial, so I don't always stay at home and retreat and do penance, right? This Izumo County is a good place to go! If I have the opportunity to encounter some dangerous situations, I will really achieve the purpose of the trial!"
The Hu royal family wants to take the opportunity of canonizing Kong Ming this time to tie the Kong family with their royal ambitions, and a peerless genius like Kong Ming, if he can take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Hu royal family, it will naturally be of great benefit to the future!
Of course, the Hu royal family did not expect that their move would inadvertently fall in favor of Kong Ming!
What kind of person was Kong Ming in the Three Kingdoms era? That was the Wolong military division who dedicated his whole life to the army! Even if Kong Ming was in the position of prime minister of Shu Han, but he personally led the army in the six Qi Mountains, if you really want to talk about the ability to march and fight, several times in the entire Tianyuan Continent, it is estimated that no one can compare with Kong Ming!
The Confucian family of the Cangnan Empire is based on culture and education, and its power in the military is not strong, even if Kong Ming can eventually become an extremely powerful Yuan Force cultivator, but if he wants to get in touch with military affairs, he may not have the opportunity!
Now it just so happens that this holy decree of Emperor Hood has given Wolong a chance to take off?
The real legend is about to begin!!
