Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Eight Pacification Envoys
"I don't know what I just said about the formation of the Half-Elf Eight Banners, do the leaders have any different opinions?" Zhou Yi sat on the top of the main house in the small courtyard, and below were the eight half-elf clansmen. Yun Xing and Yue Wu sat in the first position on the left and right, showing the status of the second department of Yueyun in Zhou Yi's heart.
"My lord, my Yunbu is naturally only the head of the adult!" Yun Yishang had a very good impression of Zhou Yi and wanted to learn from Zhou Yi's side, and Zhou Yi agreed. In Yunxing's eyes, this young man is actually his quasi-son-in-law. Yunxing has no son, just such an only daughter, so she naturally supports Zhou Yi in every way.
"Yuebu has no opinion, he is willing to select 20,000 light and strong, and all of them are good at using bows and arrows!" "Yuewu has two sons and a daughter, now the eldest son can inherit the position of leader, the younger son can serve as the commander, and his daughter Yuebanxuan wants to study with Zhou Yi, he is not dissatisfied. Besides, Yuebu's ability to get away with the crime this time is all thanks to Zhou Yi's help.
"My lord, you have worked hard for my eight departments to be able to integrate into the empire, my eight departments naturally can't live up to the wishes of the adults, and the night department is also willing to select 20,000 light and strong, and the night department will bear the settlement allowance, so that they can train with all their might, and they don't have to be half civilians and half soldiers, and make contributions to the empire as soon as possible!" Ye Changxun stood up and bowed to Zhou Yi. This is a bit flattering, but since the night department is willing to set an example, Zhou Yi naturally can't give him his heart.
"There is no need for settling-in expenses, it is not easy for your various departments to work hard to save some belongings. The Eight Banners are still engaged in agriculture and hunting on weekdays, and the empire naturally has arrangements in wartime, as long as there are military merits, a large number of rewards are not a problem. "Of course, Zhou Yi can't make the Eight Banners a standing army for the time being, which is a taboo in the empire.
"I have no objection to the Star Division!" and then Xing Lufei hurriedly expressed his position, the annexation of the Eight Divisions to the Qinling Empire was a foregone conclusion, and it was naturally the right thing to recruit their troops.
Next, these other leaders who were quite eye-catching expressed their support for Zhou Yi's plan to form the Eight Banners one by one, regardless of whether they had opinions in their hearts, at least on the surface, they had to support it.
"Okay, you really understand the righteousness, and you are worthy of me and the Emperor Fu Marshal to express the court's intention to enshrine you as the kings of all the counties!"
Sure enough, the leaders of the tribes, who were still a little reluctant in their hearts just now, heard that they had become the county king of the imperial court, and the unhappiness in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and they all smiled. Especially Ye Changxun, it was not his turn to do such a good thing, but it was only because the stupid guy in the night sky was looking for death that such a good thing fell on his head. But if there is no recommendation from Zhou Yi, there are so many people in the night royal family, who knows who will succeed him?
"You have been crowned the king of the county by the imperial court, hereditary replacement, I believe that there is His Royal Highness the Great Prince as a guarantee, there is no big problem............" Zhou Yi then elaborated on the Tui En Decree and the separation of civil and military inheritance, as he expected, these problems do not involve the core interests of the heads of the various departments, so they were chosen to ignore by these overjoyed local tyrants.
In the next few days, the eight divisions of the half-elf clan can be said to be in full swing to start selecting light and strong, with the olive branch extended by the empire, coupled with the temptation of huge rewards and the strong support of the leaders of each department, in just six or seven days, the eight divisions of 160,000 soldiers gathered in Nightingale City. From the mountains of materials piled up in the logistics warehouse of the Ninth Legion, Huangfu Lesheng dispatched a large number of food, military uniforms, quilts, tents and short bows to Nightingale City to fully support the establishment of the Half-Elf Eight Banners Army.
He thought more deeply than Zhou Yi, the situation in the south of the empire must have been eroded, and the Ninth Army estimated that it would soon go south. These half-elves have been hunting in the Lianyun Mountains for a long time, and they are excellent archers, and with a little training, they can go into battle to kill the enemy, and there is no need to wait for the military horses to arrive before training. In terms of the blood feud between the half-elves and the elves, the slightest provocation does not need to be inspired, and these half-elf soldiers will shoot the feathered arrows of revenge at the elves with a roar.
Of course, Zhou Yi's idea of the archers is also excellent, if it can really become an army, then the empire will have one more killer weapon when the opponent's northern Tiger Orc Kingdom invades the south.
Xinglu Fei and they are different from Yunxing, Yuewu, and Ye Changxun, and from the day they came to Pingman City, they didn't want to go back to the tribe all the time. But since hearing Zhou Yi's description of the prince, they hurried back to the tribe to arrange the selection of troops, and then rushed back to Zhou Yi's side non-stop. No one is a fool, and they know who the next half-elf tribe and their future are in their hands. When he came back this time, he invariably brought his children with him, and wanted to deal with Zhou Yi, the future emperor's celebrity. It just so happened that Zhou Yi was preparing to accept these people as disciples, so naturally everyone was happy.
"The holy decree has arrived, and the Marshal of the Ninth Legion Huangfu Lesheng has received the order!" "Huangfu Lesheng and Zhou Yi, who were discussing the formation of new recruits in Nightingale City with the leaders of the eight divisions in Pingman City, were interrupted by the sudden arrival of the internal attendant.
Huangfu Lesheng hurriedly knelt down on one knee to receive the order, and Zhou Yiyi and others also hurriedly knelt down with him.
Such a white-faced and beardless chamberlain looked at the kneeling crowd expressionlessly, unfolded the holy decree in his hand and said: "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever." His Majesty the Emperor summoned and said: Marshal Huangfu Lesheng appeased the eight divisions of the half-elf clan to have merit in the state, crowned the title of prince and prince, rewarded ten pairs of jasper, and millions of gold coins to show his merits. The Kunya Elf Kingdom invaded, and the situation in Baiyue County of the empire became increasingly tense, so he ordered the Ninth Legion to go south and rush to the aid of Baiyue County. Chin!"
"Emperor Fu Le Sheng Xie Xi à Longen, the Ninth Army Corps will go south on the same day!" Huang Fu Le Sheng received the order with both hands, and everyone was about to get up, when they heard the inner chamberlain then take out a silk book and unfold it, and said: "There is a central order, and Zhou Yi, the staff officer of the Ninth Army Headquarters, receives the order!"
The crowd knelt down again.
"I heard that Zhou Yi, the staff officer of the Ninth Army Headquarters, is known as a virtuous person, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in recruiting the eight divisions of the half-elf clan, and Huangfu Le Sheng has taken it as his first achievement. I ordered you to be the pacification envoy of the eight tribes of the half-elf clan, and the affairs of the eight tribes can be decided by the Qing himself. Wangqing properly handles the affairs of the eight departments, don't live up to my hopes!"
"Minister Zhou Yi Xie Majesty Xià Longen!" Zhou Yi took over the decree in the same way as the emperor and the saint.
After the internal attendant finished announcing the decree, his expressionless face burst into a smile as if it had changed his face, and he looked at Huangfu Lesheng and Zhou Yi and congratulated them repeatedly: "Congratulations to Marshal Huangfu, I wish the marshal another miraculous achievement! Congratulations to Zhou Anfu, the adult is really a young genius!"
Huangfu Lesheng smiled and greeted him with a false thought snake, Zhou Yi was not used to the officialdom to usher in this set, just learned to Huangfu Lesheng and the internal officials to greet a few words. At this time, a guard came over with a small baggage, and the inner attendant smiled even more when he saw it, and the compliments in his mouth were even more gushing.
"Father-in-law, this is a little caution from Ben Shuai and Zhou An, father-in-law has traveled a long distance and come from afar to convey His Majesty's will, it is very hard, and I hope that my father-in-law will not refuse!"
"Where, where, how to talk about hard work for Your Majesty, besides, there is no marshal and Zhou Anfu to work the battlefield!" said polite words, but his hand honestly and unceremoniously took the burden. The burden is extremely heavy, presumably not small, and the waiter's face is smiling.
"My father-in-law has come from afar, and I have been dusty all the way, please go to wash up and rest for a while, and then I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for my father-in-law at night!" said Huangfu Lesheng with a smile.
"Okay, there is a handsome Lao, then our family will go down to rest first!" The inner attendant smiled and followed a personal guard to rest, and Huangfu Lesheng and the others kept sending him away before returning to the council hall.
"Congratulations to the Taifu, congratulations to the pacification envoy!!" Entering the council room, the leaders of the eight departments were complimented again, and Huangfu Lesheng and Zhou Yi were polite again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the recital of the imperial court has been sent to Luojing, and it must be that the imperial court will soon have its own will, and you must be good at assisting Zhou to pacify the envoy to deal with all the matters of the eight departments. "When Huangfu Lesheng received the holy decree, he naturally wanted to start quickly. He had long expected that he would be moved south, so the army was ready to move out in a few days, ready to set off at any time. Now the most reassuring thing is Zhou Yi, his disciple does not have the support of a large army behind him, I don't know if these leaders with different minds will buy it.
"Lord Taifu, please relax, we will do our best to do what the appeasement envoy instructs!" Xing Lufei has always felt that his relationship with Zhou Yi is not as close as that of Yunxing and Yuewu, and he can't be as shameless as Ye Changxun, but at this time, the opportunity to show loyalty first, will not be missed.
The other seven leaders also spoke out one after another, expressing their loyalty, so that Huangfu Lesheng could rest assured that he would go south.
Huangfu Lesheng thought that his disciple's means were extraordinary, and he had a great strategy in his chest, plus the children of the leaders of the various departments were also sent to Zhou Yi, and the strong support of the three departments of Yeyunyue, there would be no chaos, so he waved his hand to let the leaders of the eight departments retreat, and he wanted to discuss something with Zhou Yi.
The leader of the eight divisions came out, and Huangfu Lesheng walked to Zhou Yi and sat down, looked at his disciple carefully, and said: "Now that Your Majesty's will has been made, you can justifiably handle the affairs of the eight departments according to what you want in your heart." As a teacher, I will prepare to go south tomorrow, although I haven't been able to guide you to how much martial arts practice these days, I also have some understanding and thinking about your situation.
You are still in the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow, and all the veins are connected, but the bridge between heaven and earth between the two veins of Rendu has not been opened. I have explored your dantian qi sea, where the true qi is agitated, and the number of true qi is extremely large, not inferior to the innate one. However, the capacity of the dantian qi sea opened up by your Northern Spiritual Skill is far better than that of the dantian of the Innate Realm, not to mention the ordinary ninth layer of the day after tomorrow. You also need to continue to accumulate true qi until the dantian true qi overflows. As for the breakthrough of the innate realm, you still need to have some understanding, everyone's specific location, length, and thickness of the bridge between heaven and earth are different, you still need to experience it yourself, and the teacher can't help you!"
"Yes, teacher, I will continue to accumulate true qi, as for the innate realm, I am not in a hurry, take your time!" Zhou Yi did not have the previous rush mentality for martial arts cultivation at this time, and he now understood the truth of being quick but not reaching. For example, the sweeping monk once said that Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo did not practice Buddhism, but only practiced Buddhism, and finally led to hidden dangers in the body, which is a typical spiritual cultivation that cannot reach the physical cultivation realm, and the body and mind cannot be united, and hidden dangers naturally appear. The lessons from the past are here, and Zhou Yi will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the past. Recently, he is refining the way of calligraphy, not only to exercise his state of mind, but also to communicate with the holy path of the Eastern Continent.
"Well, you know it. Huangfu Lesheng nodded, and then said: "There is another thing I want to explain to you, the training of the Half-Elf Eight Banners must be accelerated, the Kunya Elf Empire is invading, I am afraid that only a few legions will not be able to support the erosive situation in the south, and those Holy Courtyards don't know why they are holding back." When the time comes, I need you to go south with the Eight Banners Legion for reinforcements!"
After speaking, Huangfu Le Sheng looked at Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi heard the teacher's words, his heart sank, and he slowly looked at the teacher and nodded.
