It was nothing to him, but to Murong Sheng, rebellion was a big deal.
After pondering for a long time, Murong Shengcai chuckled and said: "Mr. Ye, at my age, I really can't afford to bother you. The world is now dominated by your young people. I, an old man like me, have no energy."
To conquer the world, it is impossible to unify the country in ten or eight years. At his age, he will not know how old he will be in ten or eight years. It would be meaningless for him to be the emperor again.
It's better to take advantage of now and live happily for a few more years.
"Everyone has his own ambitions, Mr. Murong. I respect your decision. I will not reveal a word about today's events to the outside world."
Ye Xiong stood up and prepared to leave. After all, he was a rebel, and it would be better for both parties to have less contact.
"Master Ye, wait a moment."
Murong Sheng stood up and walked into the back room. After a while, he came out with a tray.
On the tray were bunches of silver coins with white flowers, and two bunches of gold and silver.
"These are part of my savings. I don't need them now. Just think of them as my gifts to you. I hope you can achieve great things one day and remember me as an old man." Murong Sheng put the tray in Ye Xiong's hand and continued: "In case,
What I'm saying is that in case it doesn't work out, I hope you won't give me away. At my age, it doesn't matter if I die, I'm just afraid that my family will be harmed."
"Thank you Mr. Murong, I know how to do it." Ye Xiong nodded.
What Murong Sheng did was very smart, he just spent money to buy a future.
When he gets up, if he is kind to him, he will definitely not treat him badly.
If he can't get up, he will lose some money.
This is a typical businessman approach.
"I wish Mr. Ye a successful career and a bright future."
"I'd like to lend you your kind words, old gentleman. Goodbye."
Ye Xiong collected the money, but because the amount was too large, Murong Sheng finally gave him a bag to put it all in.
With the initial capital, Ye Xiong's team grew from one hundred to three hundred in just one month.
During this period, officers and soldiers were sent to encircle and suppress him again. A team of a thousand people came, fully armed.
Ye Xiong once again showed his prowess, holding a big sword and fighting one against a thousand, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
His troops also joined the battle one after another, and finally killed a thousand officers and soldiers until they fell on their backs and fled.
At this point, Ye Xiong's reputation has truly risen.
These thousand officers and soldiers brought Ye Xiong very good supplies. The troops improved from using harpoons and hoes to using knives, spears, and armor, and their combat effectiveness increased significantly.
Under his teachings, some people have mastered thirty-six sword techniques, and their power has become more and more powerful.
Ye Xiong divided the 300 people into three groups, each with 100 people, and selected a centurion. The three armies conducted confrontation drills and formation drills to greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops to prepare for the upcoming war.
…
Fisher Girl City, City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord Dongfang Ming has a big headache. He has suffered from severe headaches in recent days and has been unable to sleep or eat well.
Japanese bandits appeared one after another in several seaside towns. Many fishing boats were robbed, resulting in numerous casualties.
Although we haven't landed yet, we will do so sooner or later.
The rogue bandits were already giving him a headache, but at this time, a group of rebels appeared in the small town of Nanping. Among the rebels, the leader was highly skilled in martial arts and possessed the courage of a million men. He sent several officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them. Unexpectedly, they all
Returned in vain.
The most terrible thing is that he sent a document to ask for support from the superiors, but the superiors were ambiguous. They did not say to send troops or not to send troops. According to the speed of Daxia's troops, on the day when they send troops, he, as the city leader, would probably not be able to do so.
It's already cold.
"Report, Lord City Lord, something serious has happened." Master Wu, the housekeeper, hurried in.
"Can't you give me some good news? Every day, big things happen, and you turn good things into bad things." Dongfang Ming scolded Lu severely, and then continued to ask: "What happened?"
"The thousand officers and soldiers we sent to suppress the rebels were defeated again." Master Wu said.
boom!
The tea cup in Dongfang Ming's hand fell to the ground.
"With a thousand officers and soldiers, they can't even defeat a hundred people. Are they eating shit?" Dongfang Ming cursed loudly.
"Your Majesty the City Lord, the Captain said that the thief's martial arts skills are too strong, and he has a courage that is unmatched by ten thousand people."
"Trash is trash, don't make excuses for your failures."
Dongfang Ming was anxious and asked: "How many more soldiers can we send?"
"There are less than 3,000 people. These people are still guarding a few small towns on the seaside to prevent rogue bandits. They cannot move!"
Dongfang Ming is so anxious that he can't even defeat this group of thieves with a thousand men. If he sends another two thousand men over, even if he wins, both sides will suffer losses. If the first-class bandits take advantage of the situation, the trouble will be big."
"Master Hu, what do we do?" Dongfang Ming asked.
"Lord City Lord, the best way now is to sue for peace. First stabilize this gang of rebels, and then send someone to write a letter asking for support." Hu Fuzi suggested.
"You want me to seek peace with the rebels, but that won't work."
"Lord City Lord, the rebels are our own people after all, they are the people of Daxia. I heard from the officers and soldiers who returned from defeat that if the rebel leader does not surrender his troops, his character is much better than that of the rogue bandits," Hu Fuzi suggested.
Although Dongfang Ming was unwilling at all, he had no choice now.
"Master Hu, I am sending you to negotiate peace. Remember, no matter what method you use, you must hold him back."
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
Master Hu took the order and left, taking more than a dozen senior officers and soldiers with him, preparing some gifts, and headed for the small town of Nanping.
…
Nanping Town, training ground.
"Report, sir, there are rogue ships on the sea." A fisherman guarding the seaside reported.
"How many ships?" Ye Xiong asked.
"Two ships. The number of people in these ships is about one hundred, and the total number is about two hundred."
"Have they come ashore?"
"I have no plans to go ashore for the time being, I just want to walk around the beach."
Ye Xiong walked out of the training ground and came to the beach. His mouth watered when he looked at the two large ships.
The legion has been established, but there are no ships!
Recently, many of the fishermen who went to sea were killed by bandits, and some women were kidnapped. Now no one dares to go to sea.
"Wu Dezhi, come here." Ye Xiong shouted.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
A man in armor walked in with a majestic sword on his waist.
This man is a centurion promoted by Ye Xiong, and he is also one of the best martial arts among a group of fishermen.
"Send the order to go find some beautiful fishermen girls and ask them to dress up beautifully. From tomorrow on, they will do nothing but pick shells at the beach." Ye Xiong ordered.
"Sir, you are wise. These bandits will definitely be tempted. When they are lured ashore, we will catch them all." Wu Dezhi said with a smile.
"Come down with the order and gather for a meeting, right away."
"Yes, sir."
After a while, the three hundred people gathered.
With his hands behind his back, Ye Xiong came to the group of soldiers and glanced at them one by one, his gaze like a torch.
