78. Based in Luoyang

"Brother Tanfu!"

"What do you think?"

Seeing that Xin Qiji had not spoken, Xu Xian took the initiative to ask.

"Now after the battle in Luoyang, our army has grown to 150,000 people!"

“The most important thing now is the need for radical changes!”

"First, since the Hunjun has given up on us, it's time for us to have a unified code of our own!"

"Two, we can no longer rely solely on infantry to fight. We must form cavalry, firearms, and naval forces!"

"Third, of course we should take the opportunity to reclaim wasteland in the Yiluo Plain area to ensure the supply of food!"

"Four, we need to form our own officials and military institutions!"

"Fifth, since we have to deal with the Tatars and guard against the Hunjun, we must have a strong intelligence team to detect the movements of the Jin soldiers and the Hunjun!"

Xin Qiji immediately put forward five suggestions of his own.

“Brother Tanfu’s five suggestions are indeed what we urgently need today!”

Xu Xian was of course very satisfied with Xin Qiji's five suggestions.

"Since the goal of our army is to destroy the Tatars, and the Tatar country is named Jin, and since fire defeats gold, how about we name it 'Yu'?"

Lu You then suggested.

"The sun stands in the sky, and the fire burns the metal. Brother Weng, this is the code of 'Yu', which is really good!"

"However, when the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was named Li Yu, his country ended up being subjugated, so I think the word 'Yu' is unlucky!"

"How about we use 'cauldron' to determine the number?"

“The word ‘cauldron’ not only means the father of the Tatars of the Jin Kingdom, but also means pressing gold with two axes!”

"I wonder what you think?"

Han Yanzhi also suggested it.

"Since everyone hopes to eliminate the Tatars of the Jin Kingdom as a title, why don't we use 'chisel'?"

"The word 'chi' means killing the golden thief, so why not do it better?"

Xu Xian suddenly proposed at this time.

"The word 'chisel' is wonderful!"

"Wonderful...ah!"

"The handsome man still has vision!"

"The commander-in-chief is much more discerning than us!"

Xin Qiji immediately agreed with Xu Xian, and then Lu You and others also began to agree.

"Since our designation has been designated as 'Chi'!"

"How will Commander-in-Chief prepare to form the cavalry?"

Xin Qiji asked.

"Cavalry, I'm ready!"

"I plan to trade with Xixia and buy war horses from them. What do you think?"

Xu Xian responded.

"War horses are important strategic materials. Now that Xixia has good relations with the Tatars, how can they sell war horses to us?"

Xin Qiji expressed his confusion.

"Of course this one has already made arrangements. I am not buying horses from the Emperor of Xixia, but from their Northern King, so Brother Tanfu doesn't have to worry about this!"

Xu Xian explained to Xin Qiji and the generals that after all, the matter was still being contacted, so Xu Xian never told everyone.

"It turns out that the commander-in-chief has already started to solve the problem of the war horses, so there is no need for us to worry!"

"As for the firearms manufacturing, I have already arranged for people to go down and start it!"

"As for building ships and building a navy, I wonder who the commander-in-chief plans to arrange to take charge of it?"

Xin Qiji asked again.

"If the commander-in-chief and the generals do not give up, I, Lu Fangweng, am willing to take charge of supervising the construction of naval vessels!"

Lu You volunteered at this time.

"Let Brother Weng go!"

"Asking you to supervise the construction of ships, isn't it overkill?"

Of course Xu Xian hopes that Lu You will be by his side to make suggestions.

"Commander, how can you say that asking me, Lu Fangweng, to supervise the construction of the navy is overqualified and underutilized?"

"If there is no navy, how can we protect Luoyang's security in the future and how can we strengthen our great country?"

Lu You responded.

"This big 'chisel' is just the designation of the soldiers who will conquer the Tatars in the future. It would be inappropriate to use it to represent our current country name!"

Of course Xu Xian knew that "Chi" was not suitable for the title of the country.

"Commander!"

"When you mentioned the name of the country, I remembered it!"

"Didn't you already get the imperial seal?"

"So you are the real one in this world!"

"Shouldn't it be natural for you to decide on your country's name?"

Suddenly Yang Polu, who had been silently sitting aside, came out to speak.

"Polu!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Xian immediately warned Yang Polu.

"What?"

"Commander, have you really obtained the jade seal that has been lost for more than two hundred years?"

Lu You was first surprised at this time.

"Commander, have you really found the legendary jade seal that was rumored to have been lost?"

"is this real?"

Han Yanzhi was also shocked.

"He who is rumored to pass on the national jade seal will win the world!"

"Since you, Commander-in-Chief, have obtained the Imperial Seal, you are truly the destined Emperor!"

"Why do you hide it so much?"

"Why don't you take out the jade seal passed down from the country so that we can feast our eyes on it?"

Xin Qiji also had an expression of disbelief at this moment.

"Polu, you...!"

"Go and get the jade seal and show it to the gentlemen!"

Seeing that he could no longer hide the matter at this time, Xu Xian had no choice but to tell Yang Polu.

After a while, Yang Polu brought a wooden lacquer box.

After opening the lacquer box and uncovering the brocade inside, a white jade seal ribbon with a golden dragon coiled around it was immediately revealed.

Xu Xian then took off the seal ribbon and asked everyone to read the writing below.

"If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life!"

"Sure enough, it is the imperial seal cast by Emperor Qin!"

"is not that right?"

"I heard that this legendary jade seal was made by Qin Shihuang using the Heshi Bi obtained from the Chu State!"

"Look at the jade used under the sealing ribbon. It is genuine and top-quality Chu jade. I think this jade must be the Heshi Bi from back then!"

"is not that right?"

"Look, there is a missing corner under the seal ribbon, which has been inlaid with gold!"

"I heard that the missing corner was broken by Wang Zhengjun, the empress of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, when his nephew Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. Later, because the broken jade could not be repaired, Wang Mang was forced to have it repaired with gold!"

"Presumably, this must be the real 'Jade Seal of the Nation'!"

"yes!"

"The reappearance of the national jade seal proves that the true emperor is coming!"

"It seems that the right man must be a handsome man!"

"Yes, the commander-in-chief is our destiny in the future!"

"The right man is our Marshal Xu!"

At this time, a group of people began to cheer.

"Commander!"

"Where did you get this 'Jade Seal of the Nation'?"

After a burst of cheers, Xin Qiji immediately asked.

This imperial seal was of course found from Wanyanliang's palace.

However, according to several gold slips among the imperial seals, it was recorded that Li Congke, the emperor of the late Tang Dynasty, threw it into the Luo River in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Khitans.

It should have been fished out by a fisherman in the Luo River, then presented to the Tatars, and then presented to the Tatar emperor.

But after all, this jade seal is the national treasure passed down by our Central Plains emperor, so the Tatar Emperor Wanyan Liang did not rush to make it available to the public. Instead, he planned to wait until the fall of the Song Dynasty to take out this jade seal to express his orthodoxy.

Bit.

Unexpectedly, the Tatar Emperor Wan Yanliang failed in his final campaign against the Song Dynasty and died in the hands of his officials. Therefore, no one knew the location of this national jade seal until we accidentally discovered it.

Xu Xian told everyone about his experience of learning about the ‘Jade Seal of the Nation’.
