Chapter Thirteen, Section 1

Early the next morning, Zichuan Xiu summoned the entire Xiuzi Camp to give a speech. In the early morning fog, more than 8,000 soldiers formed a square formation on the edge of the forest. The soldiers stood quietly and in order - this was Xiuzi Camp.

It was the most orderly gathering in history. Zi Chuanxiu appeared in front of everyone in military uniform. Although he was pale, he was dressed in a sky-blue officer uniform, and the silver star on his shoulder representing the rank of deputy commander was shining brightly, which set off his tall and straight figure.

The body looks vigorous.

Seeing the rare officer wearing formal military uniform and looking solemn, the subordinates all became energetic and had a premonition that something of great historical significance was about to happen.

"Brothers!" Zi Chuanxiu's face was pale and his tone was serious and low. He did not raise his voice intentionally, but everyone in the queue could hear it clearly no matter how far or near they were. The low voice echoed in the open plains, far away.

The mountains everywhere resounded with rumbling echoes.

"I believe everyone already knows everything that happened these days. In short, I was too arbitrary and caused you trouble. I am very sorry for this. Here, please allow me to say to you: I'm sorry.

!”

Facing the soldiers, Zichuan Xiu bowed deeply. There was a commotion in the queue of soldiers, and someone moved uneasily: According to the tradition of the Zichuan family's army, the commander is like a god and will never make mistakes. Now, the deputy

A senior officer at the command level actually apologized to his subordinates, the lowest privates? There had never been such a thing in the family history.

"Even in this most embarrassing environment, I see that everyone's loyalty to me has not changed, which makes me very happy. Here, I want to ask you a question: What is your greatest hope?"

There was silence below, and the soldiers opened their eyes wide, not understanding what their commander meant. The three of Baichuan looked at each other, and they also did not understand Zichuanxiu's intention. In my impression, no general would speak like this to his subordinates.

Zi Chuanxiu pointed at a tall soldier wearing a black cavalry cape in the front row: "You, come out! Tell me, what do you hope to get most? Tell the truth!"

The soldier who was called out was at a loss. For the first time, he was stared at by nearly ten thousand people. He stammered and could hardly speak: "My lord...I...I, I..."

Looking at Zi Chuanxiu's stern gaze, he was trembling with fear. Suddenly, he seemed to be blessed in his heart, and he spoke loudly: "Sir, my greatest hope is to eliminate the evil demon invaders as soon as possible, and for the family to regain the Far East as soon as possible. We

Your Majesty, the Great Chief Commander, may you live forever..."

Zi Chuanxiu kicked him out of sight.

The second soldier who was called stammered: "I pray that the world will be filled with peace, that mankind will be filled with love, and that this year will be smooth and prosperous..."

Zi Chuanxiu knocked him over with a punch and called Roger over: "Dig a hole and bury him."

The third soldier who was called was a very young boy. Seeing the terrible fate of his two predecessors, he could hardly stand still.

Zi Chuanxiu threatened him and said: "Tell the truth: What is your wish?"

The soldier was trembling with fear, his face turning blue and white. Suddenly he mustered up his courage and shouted loudly: "What I hope most is to marry the A-Hua next door!"

"Hahahahaha!" "Hehehe!"

Thousands of people were "coaxed" into bursting into laughter, and everyone fell forward and backward with laughter. Even the officers standing in the front row couldn't help but smile. The soldiers' faces were as red as the rising sun and they did not dare to raise their heads.

Zi Chuanxiu did not laugh. He looked at the young man seriously and suddenly asked: "Then why don't you marry me?" Amidst the noisy laughter of thousands of people, Zi Chuanxiu's low-volume question spread far away.

, as if talking to the ear, everyone heard it very clearly.

The soldier still did not dare to raise his head and lowered his head and said: "His family looked down on me because they thought I was poor and had no status. Later, she married a rich official. But the person she liked was me."

The laughter and noise gradually subsided. After hearing the young soldier's words, everyone looked thoughtful: Most of the soldiers in Xiuziying are local gangsters, gangsters, hooligans and the like.

They live at the bottom of society, with no money, no status, no legitimate occupation, and no skills to make a legitimate living. Many people have had the same painful experience.

Zi Chuanxiu patted the young soldier on the shoulder sympathetically and motioned for him to step back. Then he asked the next soldier. This guy opened his mouth and smiled stupidly: "Sir, what I hope most is to have money! Lots and lots of money.

There are so many that they fill my room!”

He opened his hands and gestured: "Such a lot..."

"Sir, I want a big and beautiful house!"

"My wish is to marry a beautiful woman as my wife. No, I want to marry a group of beautiful women as my wife!"

"I want to be a high official: it's best to be a flag bearer. If you don't like anyone, just use a whip to teach them a lesson!"

The soldiers became excited. As soon as one finished speaking, another rushed to speak, making it more and more ridiculous. One silly soldier said that his biggest wish was to eat twenty fat and oily buns every day. Everyone laughed.

He was going crazy; there was another guy who just hesitated and said half a sentence: "My wish is..." No matter how many people threatened him, he refused to say any more, and just kept looking at Bai Chuan with lustful eyes.

, as a result, Master Shirakawa blushed rarely and cut him into twenty pieces on the spot.

Everyone was shouting randomly for a while. Zi Chuanxiu raised his hand to signal for silence, and all the noise gradually subsided.

"Brothers, I have heard all your wishes and dreams. You want to be rich, to be an official, to be beautiful... To put it bluntly, with your conditions and normal efforts, this is absolutely impossible to achieve."

The soldiers let out a burst of gentle laughter. Don't they know this?

"But, now there is such an opportunity in front of you: the demon clan has invaded the Far East, and a war between the demon clan and the Zichuan family is inevitable. In such troubled times, it is the time for ambitious men to establish their merits!

Princes and generals have no origin. Looking back three hundred years ago, didn't Zichuan Yun rise from the ruins of the Bright Empire? Who could have predicted that tomorrow's high-ranking officials and generals would not appear among you?"

The soldiers listened intently, leaning forward one by one, their eyes shining with longing. The venue where thousands of people gathered was silent, and Zichuanxiu's voice seemed particularly loud:

"In the establishment of a huge empire and its collapse, a large amount of wealth can be obtained in the same way, and the latter comes faster! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All I need from you is courage and courage. As long as

If you are brave enough to do it with me, I, Zichuan Xiu, will never treat you badly!"

"Of course, there are dangers in this. The demons are still very powerful. War will bleed and people will die. But you have nothing to begin with. You live at the bottom of society. No one looks down on you. Even dogs live with more dignity than you.

——”

Zi Chuanxiu raised her voice: "——In this kind of life, what is the difference between living and dying?"

"I can't guarantee that each of you can return to your hometown alive, but I can guarantee that as long as you can go back, everyone will become a general, an officer, a rich man, a noble, and one of those--"

He stopped talking and suddenly shouted: "Do you want to have a lot of money?"

The soldiers roared in unison: "Think!" The loud sound scared the birds in the forest and flew up.

"Do you want to be a general, a commander, a bannerman, a governor, or a mayor?"

"think!"

Zi Chuanxiu shouted loudly: "Being respected, powerful, wealthy, and surrounded by beautiful women - are you willing to use your mediocre, cumbersome, and poor days to gain such a life?"

The soldiers' blood boiled with enthusiasm. They were originally desperadoes with nothing, and were never afraid of losing, because they had nothing to lose. Now seeing a glimmer of opportunity to change their fate, they roared together and replied: "We are willing!"

"

Zi Chuanxiu shouted loudly: "Listen to my orders, obey me, and follow me! If you are willing, please raise your right hand!"

In an instant, more than 8,000 people raised their right hands, and a dense mass of arms stood up, and the edges could not be seen at a glance. The soldiers were so excited that they howled like wolf cubs: "Follow me, I would rather die than look back!"

"Murder, arson, go through fire and water, all you need is a word from me!"

"Sir, we will risk our lives with you!"

The bannermen looked at each other. None of them had expected that such a scene would occur today. Zichuan Xiu actually turned more than 8,000 people into his die-hard supporters with just a few simple words? What is his ability to incite?

It's really terrible. Some people even thought of such questions in their minds: "Excellent troop commander, excellent oratory skills, terrible incitement, and deep understanding of human nature... If these talents are gathered in the same person, then what will happen?"

It’s really too dangerous.”

Is the person in front of me really the playful, smiling pervert and money-obsessed person that I am familiar with?

Zi Chuanxiu turned around and looked at the banners: "Roger, where are you?" His voice was not high, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

Bai Chuan's reaction was the calmest. She herself didn't understand why she was not surprised at all. When did the slug she was familiar with grow to this point? Maybe subconsciously, she had already foreseen this.

When the moment came, a thought was quietly turning over in my mind: "The dragon's hidden state is the dragon's inevitable rise..."

She took a step forward and heard her own voice say quietly but clearly: "I, Shirakawa Kanaki, hereby swear a blood oath: I will be loyal to Lord Hidekawa for the rest of my life. Just like blood turns to ashes,

The water cannot be taken back, and my oath can never be changed. I will remain loyal to you until death!" She drew out her saber and lightly cut her wrist, raised her wrist, and let the bright red blood flow along her fair skin.

The jade hands dripped quietly to the ground.

Roger stood up parallel to Bai Chuan and shouted: "I, Roger Luo Yanyan, hereby swear to be loyal to Lord Xiuchuan to the death, and to go through fire and water for the Lord, no matter what!" The same oath was made with blood.

Ming Yu was the third one to stand up, cut his wrist, and said succinctly: "I, Ming Yu. Derian swear: I will be loyal to you, sir, and never betray you!"

On the early morning of May 6th, Year 780 of the Imperial Calendar, at this moment, Xiuziying, the strongest army in later history, was finally born. No one expected that in the vast jungle of Wage Province in the Far East, a group of rabble-rousers

The voice of passionate loyalty was actually so powerful. In the following days, this shocking voice traveled through the vast space and time, reaching the distant imperial capital, the ice and snow Demon Castle, and the hot distant Beijing.

The vastness spread to the very end of the continent. At this moment, the history of the entire continent began to change.

It was also at this moment that the great figure who was praised and worshiped by later poets and recorded in history by historians began the most glorious legend in his life.
