Chapter 591: Traces of Battle
A few very simple words, everyone present was shocked.
At least Chu Xiang's words just now were right, the Principality of Chu Feng had never encountered much war since the Eastern Ming War that year.
But precisely because of this, although the national strength of the Principality of Chu Feng is very strong, the soldiers are quite lacking in the necessary combat effectiveness.
The current situation is so complicated, Chu Xiang knows that this point must be solved as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the Demon Soul attacked the Principality of Chu Feng one day, they would definitely pay a very heavy price.
The reason why Xiao Tianxing was asked to help them with this special training was because when Xiao Tianxing was training the group of children in Xiuyuan Academy that day, Chu Xiang stayed in an attic next to him and watched the whole process.
For Xiao Tianxing's training method, Chu Xiang believes that it is very necessary to respect it.
So after the training in Xiuyuan Academy was over, Chu Xiang asked Zhou Yuan to take Xiao Tianxing to his own place and meet him.
At first, for Chu Xiang, the lord of the Principality of Chu Feng, Xiao Tianxing didn't know whether to help him or not from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Xiao Tianxing is no longer the child who doesn't understand anything.
As for the lords of the seven dependent principalities, he knew in his heart that all of them were appointed and elected by the three major principalities.
And this is indispensable for the intervention of the Divine Society, so when leaving the Hun Fortress, Yi Han also told him very seriously not to contact the official personnel of the Principality of Chu Feng.
But sometimes things backfire like this, and I didn't want to touch these in the first place, but who knew that this time it was the lord of the Principality of Chu Feng.
Perhaps seeing Xiao Tianxing's concerns, Zhou Yuan directly told Xiao Tianxing a secret that was not a secret.
"Tianxing, are you scruples, the Principality of Chu Feng is under the jurisdiction of the Phantom Dragon Empire, and Your Majesty is a candidate appointed by the Phantom Dragon Empire, so you have corresponding concerns?"
His heart was broken by Zhou Yuan's words, and Xiao Tianxing simply stopped hiding it, and directly nodded and admitted what he thought in his heart.
Xiao Tianxing's crisp style made Chu Xiang's heart very happy.
After all, it's better to have something straight than to go around in circles.
After understanding Xiao Tianxing's meaning, Zhou Yuan also directly told Xiao Tianxing the secret that was not a secret.
It turned out that although the Principality of Chu Feng was obviously subordinate to the Phantom Dragon Empire, in fact, the lord of Chu Xiang was not a member of the Phantom Dragon Principality at all.
Chu Xiang is a famous family that has lived in the land of the Principality of Chu Feng for generations, and it is also a family that does not have much to do with Dongming.
Back then, the ancestors of the Chu family settled here, slowly took root and sprouted, and gradually became the largest family in this land.
During the Eastern Ming Dynasty, the Chu family gave up the opportunity to be an official, and only devoted themselves to running their own family business here.
Later, when the Eastern Ming Dynasty destroyed the country, due to the existence of Ouye Lianyi in Qingmingshan, this land finally escaped the suffering of military disasters.
And after the complete destruction of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, most of the people living in the land of the Principality of Chufeng are still the original people.
Although the three empires really wanted to clean this place, in view of the impact of Ouye Lianyi's appearance in Dongming City, they did not dare to march here in the end.
When Dongming was completely wiped out, the Phantom Dragon Empire sent emissaries to establish a new regime.
However, for those candidates appointed by the Phantom Dragon Empire, the people of the Principality of Chu Feng did not buy it at all.
In the end, in desperation, the Phantom Dragon Empire had no choice but to compromise and adopt the method of local election.
Under extremely special circumstances, there will always be a special result of lending, and in this way, Chu Xiang, the current head of the Chu family, has also become the lord of this Chu Feng Principality overnight.
It is true that the Principality of Chu Feng finally established its own regime under its own will and the influence of Ouye Lianyi, but the Phantom Dragon Empire will not give away such a rich large area in vain.
After detailed consultations and negotiations, the Principality of Chu Feng finally preserved its unique principality power on the condition of paying the corresponding materials and property to the Phantom Dragon Empire every year.
And in the years of governance that followed, Chu Xiang also devoted all his efforts to let every citizen of the Principality of Chu Feng live a life of abundant food and clothing.
Similarly, under the protection of the three words of Qingming Mountain, the Phantom Dragon Empire finally did not dare to do anything here.
In fact, the Phantom Dragon Empire even considered sending two of the five main gods to deal with this matter.
But in the end, considering Ouye Lianyi's own strength, coupled with the five things in his hands, as well as the reactions of the other three holy land leaders, the Phantom Dragon Empire did not dare to act rashly in the end.
It is true that the Principality of Chu Feng has been very peaceful and wealthy for so many years, but Chu Xiang has always been quite worried about this kind of life.
Because Chu Xiang knew very well in his heart that the biggest shortcoming of the Principality of Chu Feng was its military strength.
Although the money can naturally recruit the corresponding masters to come to serve as relevant military generals, how could the Phantom Dragon Empire let Chu Xiang be so wishful.
In addition, during the Dongming War, the Dongming generals stationed in the Principality of Chufeng, as well as all the troops at that time, went to Dongming City to participate in the final battle.
This also caused the situation that the Principality of Chu Feng now has sufficient soldiers but very low combat effectiveness.
In the first few years, this situation had not yet appeared, but when the demon souls began to gradually attack here, Chu Xiang also realized the seriousness of the matter.
It is true that the demon souls here are quite rare, and the battles generated by the demon souls are quite rare.
However, in an encounter half a year ago, the soldiers of the three thousand Chu Feng Principality encountered five hundred demon souls who went to the country to investigate.
Both sides barely reacted before an encounter ensued.
And the result of this battle in the end was that the three thousand soldiers of the Principality of Chu Feng were defeated by the five hundred demon souls, and only a few hundred escaped back.
At that time, if it weren't for the two principals of the Lanling Chamber of Commerce passing by there, I am afraid that these hundreds of remnants would still be there with their lives.
This incident aroused Chu Xiang's great attention, and the three thousand against the five hundred were defeated and returned, which was almost equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army.
Since that incident, huge pressure has been placed in front of Chu Xiang.
He knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Principality of Chu Feng and the soldiers, it was very likely that he would encounter the danger of destroying the country.
But things are often easy to think about, but it is really too difficult to implement.
Outside, the Phantom Dragon Empire was reluctant to let in a capable general, and the Principality of Chu Feng was unable to cultivate a general who could take on heavy responsibilities.
For a while, Chu Xiang was also in a dilemma.
Fortunately, the regional association of the Lanling Chamber of Commerce is here and has provided a lot of corresponding help.
At least a considerable number of young talents have been cultivated for the Principality of Chu Feng, which has also greatly relieved the pressure on Chu Xiang.
Later, after the secret operation of the Lanling Chamber of Commerce, Chu Xiang could be regarded as recruiting several capable military attachés.
Although there has been some progress, there is still no breakthrough in the long run.
It was at this time that Xiao Tianxing came to the Principality of Chufeng.
After fighting against Zhou Yu in Xiuyuan Academy, his name quickly reached Chu Xiang's ears.
This is also thanks to his baby son Chu Sheng and baby daughter Chu Xiao.
That's right, Chu Sheng and Chu Xiao are here at the Lanling Chamber of Commerce to carry out the necessary source cultivation courses.
They didn't know that when they were about to graduate, they actually encountered such a small monster as Xiao Tianxing.
After returning to the palace, Chu Sheng and Chu Xiao told Chu Xiang about this matter, and he immediately became interested in Xiao Tianxing.
The youngest vice president in the history of the Lanling Chamber of Commerce, and the son of Yi Han, the famous Marshal of the Western Qin Protectorate, Chu Xiang immediately realized that the nobleman who solved his predicament had come.
After understanding the reason for the matter, Xiao Tianxing hesitated for a moment and agreed to Chu Xiang's request.
Although he didn't know what Chu Xiang was like, Xiao Tianxing knew in his heart that Zhou Yuan and they would definitely not deceive themselves.
After discussion, Xiao Tianxing decided that instead of telling them how to train, it would be better to have a real fight.
What is reflected in this way is also more intuitive.
After summoning a group of generals for research, Chu Xiang finally decided to use the recruits who had just been trained for three months as the experimental army this time.
After deciding this matter, Xiao Tianxing asked Chu Xiang for three hundred cavalry as his own troops.
At the same time, he borrowed a few Zhou Yu and a few staff members from the Lanling Chamber of Commerce.
At the beginning, all the generals in the recruit battalion thought that Xiao Tianxing wanted to defeat their 3,000 troops with 300 cavalry, which was simply a fool's dream.
But when this battle is really over, they also realize that they are really too superficial.
After Xiao Tianxing finished his three sentences, he directly retreated to his position, and those soldiers were stupid in place.
Faced with such a situation, Chu Xiang didn't know what to say for a while, after all, he didn't know much about such things as fighting.
"Oh my arm!" "Ahhhh......h
The soldiers' wails continued, and the train of thought caused by Xiao Tianxing's words just now was once again interrupted by their wails.
"Alas!" Looking at the appearance of these soldiers, Xiao Tianxing couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't it just that two bones are broken in the body? As for lying there like this, complaining and complaining?"
Although Xiao Tianxing's voice was not loud, his words were still listened to by the nearby soldiers.
"Hmph, it's not you who is hurting, you little kid knows what hurts?"
His ears moved slightly, and Dai Jian, who was beside Chu Xiang, also listened to these words into his ears.
"Your Majesty!" clenched his fist at Chu Xiang, and Dai Jian also explained his intentions.
"I want these soldiers to see something, I wonder if Your Majesty will allow it?"
"Of course, Elder Dai Jian, please excuse me. ”
After getting Chu Xiang's consent, Dai Jian also came to Xiao Tianxing's side.
"Tianxing, come with me. ”
"Oh!" Although he didn't know what Dai Jian wanted to do, Xiao Tianxing still followed.
After coming to the front of a group of soldiers, Dai Jian looked at Xiao Tianxing and made a request.
"Tianxing, take off your shirt. ”
"Ha ???" For Dai Jian's request, Xiao Tianxing was immediately stunned.
"Don't be stunned, take off your shirt and let them see the marks you have left on your body. ”
Seeing Dai Jian's appearance and blinking, Xiao Tianxing had no choice but to nod and take off his shirt.
"Shhh
Because on Xiao Tianxing's body, it is now full of scars of all sizes.
Although some of the scars were no longer too obvious under the effect of the elixir, the dense slight scars were still like spider webs, crawling all over Xiao Tianxing's body.
Ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Dai Jian touched Xiao Tianxing's head and said a simple word.
"These things are the honor left to a ten-year-old child in the battle of life and death, you can see it clearly for yourself!"
