Chapter 35: The Triumphant Return to the Dynasty
Three days later, Zhang Zixing summoned all the generals and the major patriarchs of Dongyi, officially named Yueji as the Marquis of Qi, led the land of Eastern Qi, and named Zou Xuan as the prime minister of Eastern Qi, and the Wushen Army under his command was the forbidden army of Eastern Qi, which could be expanded to 10,000 people, full-time to protect the safety of Qihou, and the major patriarchs also had their own rich rewards. He also ordered Zhang Guifang and Feng Lin to lead 30,000 troops and horses to enter Eastern Qi to assist the Marquis of Qi in quelling the chaos and arrange for soldiers of all ethnic groups to return to their hometowns.
Although the woman is still the first case in the history of the Great Shang, but the most important strength of the Dongyi tribes, the leadership and combat ability of the Yueji has always been praised by all the tribes, and the previous can serve as the king of Youhu is the best example, after the death of King Cangjie, the poor army collapsed, and the Youhu clan became the most powerful clan, and as the princess of the Great Shang, even the witch king was willing to surrender, naturally no one dared to raise objections.
Upon learning of Zhang Zixing's decision to set up a new vassal state "Eastern Qi", Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo, seemed to be worried, because although this move relieved the trouble of Dongyi, it undoubtedly added a big trouble next to Donglu. Although the Eastern Qi forces with new weapons were not many for the time being, their combat effectiveness was unprecedentedly strong. Dongqi can not only monitor Donglu's every move, but also as the concubine of Qihou Yueji, she is not subject to the constraints and control of him, the Eastern Bohou, so it seems that the intention of the Son of Heaven to establish Dongqi is not only to pacify Dongyi......
Jiang Huanchu is an old fox after all, and he knows that the founding of the Eastern Qi Dynasty is irreversible, so he immediately expressed his resolute support, and promised to provide a large amount of manpower and material resources to the Eastern Qi free of charge in the future.
Zhang Zixing saw that he knew the opportunity, and he was also generous, praising Donglu for his great contribution in logistics support in this war, and gave Jiang Huan Chu the confidential drawings of the saddle stirrup, light crossbow and combination bow, and secretly instructed him not to pass it on. Jiang Huan Chu knew that this heavenly son-in-law, Wen Taowu, was outstanding. Although Jiang Jiagui is a relative of the country and has no intention of rebellion, he has held heavy troops and weighed one side for many years, and he is most afraid of being suspicious. If today's son trusts the Jiang family so much, and delivers all the drawings of these secret weapons, he is very happy and grateful at the moment.
How did Jiang Huan Chu know that these "advanced" weapons could indeed greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Donglu army at present, but with the current production technology of craftsmen in the hands of the princes, it is quite difficult to manufacture them in batches. Moreover, these three things are actually nothing compared to the more secret weapons in the Divine Weapons Workshop, and of course, due to various considerations, some weapons cannot be revealed in the world for the time being.
The reason why Zhang Zixing gave the drawings to this old man was ostensibly to stabilize his heart and reduce his scruples about Dongqi, but his true meaning was in the pretending to be a mysterious sentence "no transmission". In addition to raising the value of the drawings, this sentence also has a lot of articles - the battle of Dashang to pacify Dongyi will soon become famous all over the world, and these weapons that have been exposed will definitely become the focus of attention of all princes, and sooner or later they will be cracked and imitated, it is better to give it to Jiang Huanchu as a favor, and more importantly, to move the disaster outward. The princes of all walks of life must have tried their best to come to Donglu to obtain, and it is estimated that Donglu will have a lot to see at that time. "No spreading" is equivalent to "if it is spread, you will be responsible", in this way, Jiang Huan Chu will be overwhelmed to deal with it, and it will be difficult to concentrate on planning Dongqi. In this matter, the scheming Jiang Huanchu finally fell into Zhang Zixing's calculations.
Zhang Zixing's original intention was to let Zou Xuan be the Marquis of Qi and turn Dongqi into a mining and secret production base for big merchants in the future, but after Yueji decided to be the Marquis of Qi, he had a more daring idea, but judging from the current situation in Dongqi, it is not yet inconvenient to implement, so it can only be left for the future.
That night, Zhang Zixing found Yueji and Zou Xuan to teach him face-to-face, and taught all the successful experience of Jiang Taigong's governance of Dongyi in history, which was "because of its customs, simplicity and etiquette, trade and industry, and the benefits of fish and salt", it is this law that made the originally barren Qi country become the richest place in the world in just a dozen years, and this sixteen-character policy has also become the governing policy of Qi for generations. Zhang Zixing will immediately send a large number of relevant talents in commerce, fishery, and salt industry to Dongqi after returning to the court, and give great preferential treatment to Dongqi in terms of commerce and trade.
At present, it is the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and the most important thing is to control the situation and prevent turmoil. This first step is the most difficult, but as long as you succeed in stepping out, there is a bright road ahead.
Zhang Zixing repeatedly instructed Yueji and Zou Xuan to focus on the overall situation, first seek stability, and then seek control, and if necessary, all kinds of extraordinary means can be used, and only after Yueji completely grasps the Dongyi ethnic groups in his hands, he will officially implement a special set of "new policies" in Dongqi, when Dongqi will develop rapidly in a short period of time, and the people of all ethnic groups can have no worries about food and clothing.
Yueji and Zou Xuan were convinced of what Zhang Zixing said, this young Shang Tianzi Wen Taowu is all shocking the past and the present, and it has only been three years since he ascended the throne, and the national strength and combat effectiveness of Dashang have soared, since he said that he can make the people of Dongyi worry about food and clothing, he will definitely be able to do it. Yueji and Zou Xuan secretly resolved that no matter what, they would definitely take this most difficult first step.
Zhang Zixing knew that when the Eastern Qi Dynasty was first built, it must be a turbulent dark tide and difficult to move forward, and there were many people who wanted to calculate Yueji, and personal safety was also an issue that could not be ignored. Although there is Zhang Guifang's troops and the protection of the witch god guards, it is inevitable that there will be an emergency, so he took off the Pixiu bracelet given by the Duobao Dao people and put it on Yueji's wrist. What kind of person is Duobao Daoren, although this Pixiu bracelet can only be regarded as an ordinary thing among his many magic weapons, but in the eyes of ordinary immortals, it is already a rare talisman treasure, let alone a mortal?
The Pixiu bracelet is indeed very good, when it is said that on the battlefield, even Chiyou's strongest weapon "Devourer" cannot break through its defenses for a while, and ordinary weapons or spells cannot affect it, which is a good talisman magic weapon.
"This is Your Majesty's talisman treasure, how can Yueji accept it! Your Majesty's golden body, how can she have a half-point difference! Please take back this treasure!"
Yueji knew that the Pixiu bracelet was Zhang Zixing's talisman treasure, and she was willing to accept it for a while, and was about to take it off, when Zhang Zixing reprimanded her with a face: "The widow is the true son of heaven, how can you rely on a mere foreign object? If you don't accept it again, and the two offenses will be combined, I am afraid that even all the ethnic groups in the Eastern Qi will be implicated, and then the widow will be blamed for being ruthless." β
Yueji was buttoned by this big hat, so she had to accept it, and her beautiful eyes showed tears of emotion, understanding that the deeper the husband's responsibility, the more important it was. Thinking that he was about to be separated by thousands of miles from him, his heart became more and more sad, and his voice choked up for a while: "Your Majesty's deep meaning, how can Yueji not know? It is the luck of Yueji to meet Your Majesty in this life." If you want to blame it, blame Yueji's surname for acting recklessly, and she will live up to His Majesty's affectionate ......"
The Witch Priest King was keenly enough to sniff out the atmosphere "wrong", and immediately automatically blocked the function of his eyes and ears, bowed his head and retreated.
"Although this Zou Xuan is old, he is also an interesting and delicate character, knowing that our husband and wife have 'business' to do, and they can run faster than rabbits! Come, Yueji baby, don't think too much, let your husband kiss ...... first" Zhang Zixing pretended to say lightly, wanting to relieve Yueji's sadness, and before the words fell, Yueji had already leaned forward emotionally and took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss.
How could Zhang Zixing be willing to show weakness, and immediately "fought back bravely", his hands walked up and down in the uneven and straight place, and gradually, Yueji's eyes became blurred, and the candle flame in the dormitory swayed, murmuring endlessly, and there was something about it*.
More than ten days later, the Great Shang Eastern Expedition army returned to the Dynasty, since then the battle of the Son of Heaven to conquer Dongyi ended in a complete victory, this battle is of great significance, not only defeated the enemy, but also fundamentally solved the disaster of Dongyi, and more importantly, achieved the purpose of Zhang Zixing's "Liwei". After this battle, the power of the Son of Heaven was known to the whole world, and the eight hundred princes knew what they knew in their hearts, and the timid and weak naturally surrendered willingly, and those with different intentions also had many scruples.
There must be a gathering and a dispersion, in this paragraph, Zhang Zixing and Yueji are extremely entangled, like glue, and the relationship between the two is also deep, but unfortunately it is inevitable to part. Before leaving, Yueji and the various ethnic groups of Dongqi sent more than ten miles, and finally said goodbye with tears.
Knowing that the Son of Heaven returned to the dynasty with a great victory, the song shook up and down, and the three concubines of Empress Jiang led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet them, and the people also spontaneously organized themselves to welcome the return of the army. When the third concubine saw Zhang Zixing, who had returned safely, she was very excited, and she couldn't care about her demeanor, so she cried out in public. Zhang Zixing saw that the three daughters were haggard, and her heart was moved, and she couldn't wait to go back to the palace immediately to have a warm encounter with the three daughters to describe the feelings of parting. It's a pity that he, as the "Holy Virtue" Son of Heaven, returned victoriously this time, and there are still many scenes to do.
After vigorously praising the bravery of the soldiers and men in the front, he also emphatically praised the ministers and the people of Chaoge, saying that a stable rear is the fundamental guarantee for the army at the front to fight with peace of mind; finally, Zhang Zixing mourned all the fallen soldiers with a deep face, expressed condolences to their families, and ordered the construction of a large martyr's grave on the outskirts of the city, to bury the ashes of the martyrs brought back, and to engrave the names of the martyrs on a monument to immortalize themγ These actions are commonplace to get among those "people who have crossed over", but in this era they are unprecedented, and all the soldiers and civilians are impressed and wept, and they all kneel down and praise the kindness of the Son of Heaven.
The ministers hugged the Son of Heaven and returned to the Xianqing Palace, and the chamber was set up, Zhang Zixing saw at a glance that Wen Zhong and Shang Rong, who were standing at the front of the Danqi, were holding a lot of concerts in their hands, knowing that these two people had been dealing with government affairs for several months, and there must be many important things to tell and ask for, so they couldn't help but secretly complain. Without waiting for the two of them to come out of the ranks, Zhang Zixing immediately ordered a break from the court on the excuse of being tired on the way back, and hurriedly dispersed and fled into the harem
