264. Chapter 262
After the will of the Emperor of the Haotian Empire to give the slave legion a new name 'Guide', after reaching the slave legion, Kang Tuo immediately gathered the whole army excitedly and read this edict in front of all the slave soldiers!
The 300,000 soldiers of the entire slave army were all moved to cry bitterly, and the scene of hundreds of thousands of hot-blooded men crying and weeping was absolutely shocking!
People who have never been slaves, especially those who have not been slaves of the Blue Moon Empire, simply can't imagine how much they care about a full citizenship in their hearts!
In the Blue Moon Empire, slaves are not treated as human beings at all, perhaps, even livestock are inferior, in the Blue Moon Empire, many beasts are more valuable than them!
Subsequently, Kang Tuo issued another military order according to Du Long's wishes, and all the soldiers of the German Legion, if they did not want to join the army, could be released as slaves on the spot, and they could stay in the fertile Qingyun grassland as civilians.
Once it is decided to stay in the Guide Corps, the next step will be a rigorous military training, those who pass will stay, and those who fail will be dismissed!
Since the establishment of the new regiment of Guide to Germany, it is necessary to act according to the rules of the army, and without strict training, there will never be strong combat effectiveness!
As soon as this order was issued, tens of thousands of people chose to leave the army on the spot, and most of these people were thin and weak, or some were too old to withstand the continued ravages of the harsh environment in the army.
After consulting with the King of the Grassland, Du Long decided to build a new city in a remote location in the Qingyun Grassland to house the homeless slaves.
You must know that in addition to the Guide Legion under Kang Tuo, the newly occupied Hans City is full of slaves, and Du Long directly ordered that these slaves will be free from now on, and they can directly be converted into official subjects of the Haotian Empire!
They can choose to live in the grassland new city, and those who are strong can also apply to join the Guide Legion!
For the sake of these slaves, Du Long once again asked for support from the Haotian Empire, and provided food, tents and other daily necessities to the grassland new city, before they settled down, at least half a year they needed outside assistance to avoid starvation!
In addition to settling these slaves, Du Long also raided the homes of those notorious slave owners, nobles, corrupt officials, etc. in Hans City!
There were shadow guards who probed the stepping point in advance, which saved a lot of time, and many of the great nobles of Hans City did not have time to transfer their belongings, they did not expect that Hans City would be captured so quickly!
This raid is very necessary, as the number of the army increases, there are still a large number of slaves who need to be rescued, and a large number of supplies are urgently needed, and if you rely on the financial support of the Haotian Empire alone, the pressure will be very great.
After Du Long left a part of the copied money and goods, all the rest was transported to the imperial capital and handed over to the treasury!
To be honest, he didn't want to rebel, it was really useless to get too much money on him, and the recent emperor's unhesitating full support made Du Long embarrassed to make another heavy hand in this regard.
At most, he just tried to find a way to recover the 100 million gold coins owed to Su Jinbao, after all, he invested so much money, and in the end, didn't he make a wedding dress for the emperor?
While Du Long was busy in Hans City, in the direction of Yulin Pass, the nearly six or seven hundred thousand troops of the Blue Moon Empire, which was originally attacking Yulin Pass with all its might, finally began to retreat!
Even Hans City has been lost, how dare they continue to attack Yulin Pass? Once the army in the direction of Hans City marches towards Haoyue City in the east, they are afraid that even the back road will be copied at that time!
It is necessary to briefly mention here that at the beginning, Du Fengzhong's grandfather and grandson went south to support Chilong Gorge, and Wei Xuan rushed to Yulin Pass with the holy decree!
The Dunwu Legion led by the Li family did indeed come to the north gate of Yulin Pass, and according to the original plan, it was also closed, and Luo Hao, the main general of Yulin Pass, closed the north gate tightly and did not let the Dunwu Legion come in, with an excuse similar to that used by Du Zhentian!
However, the Dunwu Legion did not choose to be as extreme as the Zhenwei Legion, but stationed it in place.
According to the big plan drawn up by the Fan clan and the Blue Moon Empire in collusion, Yulin Pass is not the most critical battlefield, the key position is in the Red Dragon Gorge, and the direction of Yulin Pass can be taken later.
Therefore, the Li family's Dunwu Legion was not in a hurry to attack Yulin Pass, but wanted to see the results of the Battle of Chilong Gorge, but never thought that the result of the Battle of Chilong Gorge had not been seen, but they waited for Wei Xuan, who had come with the strength of the Spirit Rank, to arrive with the Holy Decree in his hand!
After Wei Xuan announced the decree in public, he directly used his big move to kill Li Yiyan, the commander of the Dunwu Legion, and under the big move, he also affected dozens of people such as many cronies and deputy generals on his side, and the group of dragons was leaderless, plus the news of the Li family's rebellion was too shocking, but no one dared to stand up for the main general and others who died tragically.
After the Dunwu Legion was controlled, the Blue Moon Empire's army in Haoyue City also rushed to the south gate of Yulin Pass and launched a fierce attack on Yulin Pass.
However, there was no result in attacking for several days in a row, and without the Dunwu Legion attacking back and forth, Yulin Pass, which was garrisoned by Luo Hao, was not so easy to overcome!
In the end, after receiving the news of the retreat, the army of the Blue Moon Empire attacking Yulin Pass retreated in an orderly manner like a wave, and the defenders of Yulin Pass did not attack, but continued to hold on to Yulin City, waiting for further instructions!
In the rear of Yulin City, the generals sent by the military headquarters of the Haotian Empire began to take over the Dunwu Legion under the supervision of Wei Xuan, and rectify the interior.
Fortunately, the military department sent a large number of middle and high-level generals according to the old emperor's intentions, and directly replaced all the generals of the Dunwu Legion at one time!
At this point, the Dunwu Legion finally broke away from the control of the Li clan and became the new Dunwu Legion directly controlled by the children of the royal family!
This war between the Blue Moon Empire and the Haotian Empire was temporarily suspended because of the arrival of the 1010 New Year of the Star Calendar, but this New Year's celebration, the atmosphere of the Haotian Empire and the Blue Moon Empire is obviously two extremes.
On the one hand, he was celebrating, but on the other hand, while celebrating in a low-key manner, he began to secretly dispatch troops, obviously wanting to avenge the loss of Qingyun Grassland!
Of course, this New Year's celebration, Du Long can't go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year with his wife, so he can only stay in Hans City, which is at the forefront of the frontline, and spend the New Year with his grandfather, father and two sweethearts!
During this period, the city lord's mansion where Du Long and the others lived ushered in countless New Year's greeting teams, including the local nobles in Hans City who were not raided because of their good reputation, and the generals of the four major legions!
Of course, this New Year's greeting is to give gifts, and the gifts received alone are piled up, most of which are consciously sent by the nobles in Hans City who are grateful for Du Long's immovable property and their industry, both flattering and grateful!
At least, if Du Long wants to make a move on any nobleman in the future, he will also take care of one or two, right?!
Subsequently, Du Long also took the opportunity of the New Year's greetings to all the four major legions, and cared about the small things such as how the soldiers had a good year this year, food, clothing, and warmth.
During this period, it was inevitable to go to the camp where the grassroots soldiers lived, and where they passed, they were warmly welcomed by the soldiers of various regiments.
What made the officers and soldiers of the three armies extremely admirable was that Du Long finally stayed in a slave camp tent with the worst conditions and shared a very rough lunch with them.
In short, the current Du Long, as long as he gives an order, the officers and men of the three armies will definitely follow him to the death, and there will be absolutely no hesitation!
The short-lived peace of the New Year's celebration did not last long!
Star calendar, the sixth day of the first month of January 1010, the palace of the Blue Moon Empire!
"Bastard, who can tell me why the Prairie King rebelled?!Could it really be that our people have forced them to rebel?!" the emperor shouted angrily above the court.
Below, the ministers trembled, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to answer, at this moment, no one wanted to touch this moldy head, the past experience told them that at this time, nine out of ten people did not end well.
However, the fact that others dare not speak does not mean that some people do not dare, for example, Park Zhongxiong, the general of the right minister, still bowed down and said: "Your Majesty! According to the report of Pu Zhongyong, the younger brother of the Weichen clan, when he was desperately commanding the resistance to the enemy on the wall of Hans, he once witnessed the appearance of Du Long of the Haotian Empire, and he was definitely the same person as Mu Jiu who appeared in Hans City!"
Therefore, Wei Chen believes that Du Long had secretly run to our Blue Moon Empire under the pseudonym of Mu Jiu a few months ago, and it is reported that Mu Jiu had secretly talked with the Prairie King alone for a long time, and it should be at that time that he rebelled!
The so-called grassland people were forced to rebel by the soldiers of my Pu family, which is really a big joke in the world!"
The right prime minister Park Chung-woong, the eldest son of Park Sang-ho, the spiritual level of the Park family, in the Blue Moon Empire, that is the existence of even the emperor who has to give three points, as soon as he opened his mouth to argue strongly, for a while, the emperor had nothing to say.
"Hmph, this Du Long, in my Blue Moon Empire, first killed my emperor, and then messed with my big plan that has been densely spread for decades, it is really hateful!" The emperor roared angrily: "I don't know if you Aiqing, do you have a good way to deal with this son?!"
"Your Majesty!" the ministers below still lowered their heads, and finally Park Zhongxiong replied again: "According to Weichen's opinion, we must first eradicate this scheming Du Long, so that we can settle down and clean up those rabble of the Haotian Empire and the grassland tribes!"
"Oh?!" The emperor's eyes lit up, and he looked at Park Chung-woong and asked, "Is there any way General Park can eradicate this scourge?!"
"Your Majesty!" Park Chung-woong replied in a deep voice: "It is very easy to get rid of this son! However, we must first solve the next big trouble, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future!"
"Why is there such a big trouble?!, and General Park, please come quickly!" the emperor asked eagerly.
"Weichen once heard Uncle Xianglong say that back then, he and Du Fengzhong went to the Dongyang Kingdom to study at the Wenwu Academy founded by the Xianmeng, and then, Du Fengzhong was lucky to get the favor of the Holy Maiden of the Xianmeng, but he finally had to elope because of the rules of the Xianmeng, and gave birth to a son, who was the loyal general Du Zhentian!"
Park Chung-woong began to make this secret public, in fact, this secret is not a big secret, it was a sensation in the world back then, but few people have mentioned it recently, and most of the officials in this court have heard about it!
"It turns out that General Park is worried that the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Alliance will be angry with our Blue Moon Empire because of the killing of her grandson?!" The emperor was not a fool either, and immediately understood what Park Zhongxiong was worried about.
"The emperor is sage, according to Wei Chen's opinion, we can be so ......" In the court, Park Chung-woong began to give advice to the emperor.
