Chapter 34: The East is established and the East is leveled
Only then did Zhang Zixing understand why he could subdue the golden spear easily, and secretly thought it was a fluke - if he had not gone to the market, ignored Sun Ao's other things, and met Yun Zhongzi, he would not have obtained this fighting spirit art. If he had not combined the seven postures by chance,
First, there will be no Zhenwu Lingjue... The confusion about the constant conflict between the War Soul Jue and the Su Nu Jing is also solved: Huangdi and Chiyou represent two extremes, and their powers are naturally incompatible. But the superpower
Zhang Zixing was very interested in the strange energy that came from his brain to neutralize the two. What kind of energy was this that actually made these two mortal enemies "reconciled"?
Zhang Zixing looked at Zou Qie's sincere expression and knew that by mistake, he had subdued "The Soul Eater" and made him misunderstand that he was Chi You's reincarnation. He was very happy and did not give any explanation. Although he had captured a large number of Dongyi soldiers, he was not fundamentally aware of the situation.
To solve the problem of Dongyi, if we just let it go, I am afraid we can only get temporary peace. The situation in the east of Dashang is still not optimistic. Since the Witch Sacrifice King has misunderstood, he will simply make the mistake and subdue Dongyi completely, so as to contain Dong Bo in the future.
Hou’s greatest help.
It is not that Zhang Zixing has not thought about gradually weakening the military strength of the princes, but the wings of the princes from all directions are already full. Even if he is the emperor, he cannot act recklessly, otherwise war will break out without adequate preparation, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
What is advisable is to use the art of vertical and horizontal to use the princes to fight against the princes. This is another important purpose of his conquest of Dongyi.
As soon as Zou Qie confirmed that the emperor was the reincarnation of Chi You, he immediately took the initiative to present all the treasures such as the secret map of the mineral veins, the key smelting techniques, and the Chi You flag. Zhang Zixing was overjoyed, and immediately took out a piece of the Heaven and Earth Creation Pill that he had obtained from Deng Hua.
Pills were given to Zou Xie and he took them. After Zou Xie took them, he felt that all the illnesses in his body were gone, and the left leg that had been sucked dry by the soul miraculously grew muscle. It returned to its original state in an instant, even the mana that had originally collapsed
There are also signs of a reunion beginning.
Zhang Zixing was surprised by the magical effect of the Heaven and Earth Creation Pill. No wonder Deng Hua and Wu Ping were so stingy that day. He kept the secret map of the mine and gave the rest back to Zou Qie, because what he needed most was Dongyi's
The rest of the mineral resources are not very attractive to him, so it is better to use this to show favor to Zou Che. Zou Che was extremely grateful and could not stop thanking the emperor for his generous gift and reconstruction, expressing his willingness to die for his master.
.
The mineral map not only records the distribution of mineral deposits in Dongyi area in detail, but also marks the mineral veins in other places. Although these are only surface mineral veins, it is already a huge surprise for Zhang Zixing, who is in urgent need of resources.
, it seems that this great Chi You is really an outstanding geologist.
Zhang Zixing was in a good mood and said: "I don't want to have such a connection with Dongyi. Since this is the case, I don't want to embarrass my people. I will release all the Dongyi prisoners tomorrow... But even if I let you go back, how can I do it?"
To eradicate the sufferings of all ethnic groups in Dongyi?"
Zou Qie was about to thank him, but when he heard the last sentence, his body was shaken and he stood there stunned.
"Master, please have mercy and relieve the suffering of our people for generations!" Zou Qie was convinced that the master of "Chiyou's reincarnation" would be able to relieve the sufferings of Dongyi. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. When Yue Ji heard this, she also knelt down.
Zhang Zixing helped the two of them up and said seriously: "Since Dongyi is also my people, I will definitely do my best."
The next day, Zhang Zixing summoned the kings of the Ge, Zhenguan, and Zhenxun clans. With Zou Qie's confirmation, all clans agreed that the Emperor of Shang was the reincarnation of Chi You, and were willing to surrender and ask for forgiveness.
Zhang Zixing had no intention of killing these kings, because that would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. He also understood that a considerable number of kings were forced to bow their heads because of the situation. However, since the initiative was in his own hands, he struck while the iron was hot and proposed the idea that he had been thinking about for a long time.
Dongyi reform plan - merge the former Dongyi countries into one country, remove the word "Yi" from Dongyi, and rename it "Dongqi". Dashang assists Dongqi in building a large capital city and establishes a new king. According to the name of the feudal lords of Dashang
He was called "Marquis of Qi". The original clan chiefs of each clan were named important ministers of the Eastern Qi and received generous rewards from the emperor. However, they had to obey the orders of the Marquis of Qi unconditionally. If there was any disobedience, they would be severely punished. The Eastern Qi was garrisoned by regular troops sent by the merchants, and each clan allowed it.
A small number of private soldiers must be retained, and the remaining soldiers must be disbanded and turned into civilians engaged in production. Dashang sent management officials at all levels and a large number of craftsmen to guide and assist the construction and development of Dong Qi, and educate the people of Dong Qi... Of course,
These are only preliminary plans. Specific reform measures will not be announced until the candidate for Qihou is determined.
Zhang Zixing knew that these kings had their own thoughts, and immediately expressed his tough attitude that "change must be made": Since you all agree that I, the Great Shang Emperor, am the reincarnation of the God of War, and the master of Dongyi, then I am only managing my own land.
That's all, you just need to obey and have no objections. Of course, he is not just tough. He also promises huge benefits to the clan leaders, including generous rewards, hereditary official positions, etc.
After hearing these terms, the kings of all races were surprised and had different reactions, and they whispered for a while.
The kings of the Dongyi tribes all know very well that in the current situation, the Dongyi tribes are all absolutely weak. Unless they do not consider their lives or the safety of their tribesmen, it is impossible not to submit. This Emperor Shang
As long as one criminal offense is punished, the entire clan will be exterminated. The most important thing is that even the most powerful wizard king has expressed his loyalty to the emperor. The various clans of Dongyi can no longer work together as before.
The Shang Dynasty resisted.
As a result, all the kings reached a tacit understanding, only to maximize the interests of themselves or their clansmen, and did not express any objection to the general policy of "founding the country of Eastern Qi". Some bold kings also raised various questions to Zhang Zixing, including issues such as garrison and position.
Zhang Zixing's knowledge and wisdom are not comparable to those of these kings. Those questions were quickly answered by him in a clear and logical manner, and there was no way to refute them. In the end, the focus of discussion fell on the key issue of who would serve as the Marquis of Qi. Zhang Zixing
He once revealed the meaning of "Qi people rule Qi", so the clan leaders tried their best to show their loyalty and determination to the emperor, and they argued endlessly.
Zhang Zixing set his sights on the Witch Sacrifice King Zou Xie. Zou Xie had no doubts about his identity as the reincarnation of Chi You, and even had a kind of fanatical loyalty to him. In addition, he had ruled Dongyi for many years, and his prestige was still there, even though his magic power was greatly reduced.
, is still the most suitable candidate for the Marquis of Qi at present. But at this time, Zou Qie seems not to know his intention, and does not participate in the competition for the Marquis of Qi. He just looks at his nose and his nose, as if it has nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Yue Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I am not talented, but I would like to be the Marquis of Qi and help your majesty govern Eastern Qi."
As soon as Yue Ji spoke, the arguments among the clan leaders stopped. No one dared to raise objections anymore. The customs of Dongyi and Dashang are different. Even women can be in power as long as they are capable. Yue Ji was able to take up the post.
This is the case for King Youhu. After King Cangjie and Shen Gong Jingqi were destroyed, Youhu clan has become the most powerful country in Dongyi. What's more important is that Yue Ji is now the beloved concubine of Emperor Shang. She
To "volunteer" to become the Marquis of Qi was most likely the result of the Emperor's request. Who else would dare to compete with him? The kings immediately agreed in unison, and the abominable Zou Qie also spoke up, expressing his willingness to do everything in his power to assist the Lord.
The mother governed the Eastern Qi Dynasty.
Zhang Zixing's expression changed, and he did not comment. His original intention was to let Zou Qie, who had the highest prestige among Dongyi, be the Marquis of Qi. Unexpectedly, Yue Ji actually recommended herself in public, which was beyond his expectation. In front of many people
He didn't want to get angry in front of the king. He only said that he still needed to think about it, and asked the clan leaders to go back and rest first and make a decision later.
As soon as the clan leaders left, Zhang Zixing repelled everyone around him, frowned and asked Yue Ji: "Yue Fei, why did you make this decision without permission?"
Yue Ji lowered her head and said nothing. Zhang Zixing became even more angry and his tone began to increase: "You are so brave! I wish I had discussed it with Zou Qie earlier! This will completely disrupt my plan. Have you always been
You all trust me in my promise, can you rest assured that you have to stay here and watch the development of Dong Qi with your own eyes?"
Seeing that he was really angry, Yue Ji quickly knelt down and said in a low voice: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I definitely don't distrust Your Majesty. The terms of the Eastern Qi Dynasty established by Your Majesty will be of great benefit to our clan. I believe that it will not take more than ten years."
, our clan can gradually get rid of poverty... My concubine... Yue Ji just wants to share the worries of her husband. Moreover, when my husband first met Yue Ji, he proposed to let Yue Ji become an assistant in governing the East. Have you forgotten that?
?"
Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel soft after hearing her soft words of begging and calling her "husband", and helped Yue Ji up: "Husband knows your abilities and is qualified for the position of Marquis of Qi, but you are my wife, and you are not an ordinary person.
You and I are newly married and our love is strong. How can I be willing to leave you alone in this faraway eastern border? Moreover, the poverty of Dongyi cannot be changed in the short term. The road to reform is full of difficulties. It is better to let Zou Qie be the Marquis of the East. You
Come and share the wealth with me back to Chaoge."
Yue Ji shook her head and said: "Husband, have you ever thought that as a barbarian girl, I was named a noble concubine by the Holy Spirit, and I would inevitably attract criticism. At this time, the situation in Eastern Qi has not yet stabilized, so why don't I stay and help my husband manage it later?"
That’s it, how about coming back to Chao Ge to get together with your husband?”
Zhang Zixing sighed, knowing that even though Yue Ji said so, she still had a knot in her heart after all. She could become the king of the Youhu clan, so she naturally knew how terrible the struggle for power was. If she went to Chaoge like this, her identity might be revealed.
Secondly, she has no relatives in Chaoge and no backstage support. Thirdly, she is afraid of being squeezed out by the queen and other concubines in the harem, so she must act cautiously and walk on thin ice. In addition, Yue Ji has lived in Dongyi for many years and is reluctant to part with it.
I left this familiar homeland, so I wanted to stay and help the people develop.
Zhang Zixing's persuasion was ineffective, and he sighed and showed a difficult smile. He knew that Yue Ji was very strong in her heart, and it was probably impossible to change her mind. Even if she was taken away by force now, she would not be truly happy, but Zhang Zixing was still
Making a last-ditch effort: "Yue Ji, you have been making it difficult for yourself and your tribe to be enemies, and have suffered a lot of grievances. Now that Dongyi is pacified, it is time for my husband to make up for you. I still remember that my husband promised to give you a true love."
Are you happy? Do you want me to be a person who breaks my word?"
Yue Ji's delicate body trembled and she shed tears: "Yue Ji had already admired her husband when she read the three great books of her husband in the East. Later, she saw her husband's wisdom and bravery with her own eyes, and she couldn't help herself. That night, she received her husband's true love.
Let me tell you frankly that Yue Ji has completely fallen in love with her husband... Meeting her husband and getting his love is the greatest happiness in Yue Ji's life, so how can she dare to ask for too much..."
Zhang Zixing was greatly moved when he saw her emotional words. He stepped forward and gently held her hand. He and Yue Ji only met and got married in just over a month. On that day, he even used her to shoot Jiu Ying and take advantage of her.
With the purpose of appeasing Dongyi as the Huwang, it can be said that this hasty marriage has inevitable political factors. Although Zhang Zixing had always been fond of her, he still felt that lust was greater than love, but unexpectedly Yue Ji
She had been sincerely attracted to him since early in the morning. When she heard her confession like this, she felt both guilt and love in her heart.
"Please rest assured, husband, I will definitely manage Dong Qi well and live up to your high expectations. My husband is the emperor of Shang Dynasty, and there will definitely be many concubines in the future. Please don't forget that I am still far away in my palace in Dong Qi."
There is an infatuated woman who is eagerly looking forward to..."
Zhang Zixing hugged Yue Ji tightly, feeling her body temperature and trembling, and tenderness surged in his heart. After a long while, he finally uttered six words like an oath: "If you don't think about it, you will never forget it!"
PS: The persistent low-grade fever finally subsided. Although I am not cured, I finally feel much better. I will post an additional chapter. Please support me.
