Confucian and Taoist scholar

"Excuse me."

Du Ning slowly opened his mouth, exuding a kingly aura, quite as powerful as a prince.

"Thank you, Lord Jin."

After the civil and military officials thanked them, they took their seats again.

Du Ning then said to Emperor Hongxuan: "I have thanked the Emperor for your kindness. After arriving at the border, I will definitely let the Yao clan and Rakshasa clan know the reputation of our Yun Kingdom and not dare to invade our Yun Kingdom's borders, in order to repay the Emperor's favor.

."

"Brother Jin Wang, you are so polite. I believe you will be able to win immediately and succeed immediately." Emperor Hongxuan said with a smile.

Du Ning was promoted to the title of King, and he was older than Emperor Hongxuan. It was not inappropriate to call him "Brother Jin," as it also showed the relationship between the royal family and the royal family.

"Hehe... Du Jun, you will be our younger brother from now on." King Yan teased.

"Fourth, don't talk nonsense!"

King Ji said solemnly: "Although Du Jun is the king of Jin, he should be ranked last among the kings like us, but he is still a civilized monarch of the human race, and his status is second only to the semi-saint. No matter what, we must not forget his dignity as a civilized monarch."

."

"I was just joking, Du Jun must not take it seriously."

King Yan immediately handed over to Du Ning in a serious manner, and thought with some dissatisfaction: "I have a close relationship with Du Ning, what's wrong with joking with him? Du Ning was still the commander of the artillery battalion under my command!"

Thinking of this, King Yan missed the days when he and Du Ning conquered the grassland tribes.

"When does Prince Jin plan to go to the border?" Emperor Hongxuan asked.

"I will take a short rest today and leave for the border tomorrow to wait for the demon clan and the Rakshasa clan." Du Ning replied.

"Okay, I will personally bid farewell to you early tomorrow morning."

Emperor Hongxuan turned to King Xia and said, "Please Ninth Brother, please select an elite force from the army and go to the border with King Jin."

"I obey the order." The King of Heroes immediately accepted the order.

Du Ning knew that this was Emperor Hongxuan's support for him. As a king with a different surname, he naturally had to have the majesty of a royal family.

"I suddenly feel hungry. Come and pass me some food."

Emperor Hongxuan ordered the banquet to begin and began to serve delicious food.

So everyone drank and chatted, not only to help Du Ning wash away his dust, but also to celebrate Du Ning's promotion to the Jin Dynasty. From then on, he was included in the royal family and enjoyed the same treatment as the royal family in the court.

"Congratulations to Mr. Du on your promotion to king. I'd like to give you a toast."

"Your Majesty King Jin, you are truly a role model for our colleagues. I will learn from you."

"Come on, Du Jun, let's have a drink."

Many officials toasted to Du Ning one after another, and Du Ning also drank happily and mingled with the officials.

Du Ning found that since the King Xian Party was eliminated, officials from various ministries got along more harmoniously than before, because all the princes sincerely hoped that the Yun Dynasty would prosper, and most of the officials from various ministries were disciples of the kings, and they worked together as a team.
As long as everyone can maintain this enthusiasm for struggle, the Yun Kingdom will become the most powerful country in the entire Holy Forest Continent, and will far outperform other countries in both economic and military aspects.

…………

The next day.

Du Ning led a thousand elite soldiers to the border of Yun State to take up the post of military governor to meet the challenges of the demon clan and Rakshasa clan.

Emperor Hongxuan led hundreds of civil and military officials to practice for Du Ning, hoping that Du Ning could make another great contribution to the Yun Kingdom.

Du Ning thanked everyone for their kindness, then got on the dragon carriage and headed for the border.

There is a "Tianshui City" on the southwest border of the Yun Kingdom, which is the border closest to the Three Boundaries Mountains in the Yun Kingdom.

If the demon clan and Rakshasa clan raise an army to invade, they will definitely attack "Tianshui" first and then march straight in.

Therefore, this important city is where Duning chose to guard.

The second day of June.

Du Ning successfully arrived at Tianshui City.

When the dragon carriage arrived at the gate, the general at the city gate saw the dragon horse and instantly guessed Du Ning's identity, and immediately said: "Is it that the King of Jin is here in person?"

The general accompanying the dragon carriage immediately responded: "His Royal Highness is in the carriage."

"The last general will be disrespectful, please see the King of Jin."

All the generals and soldiers on the tower immediately saluted.

Du Ning got off the dragon carriage, cupped his hands to the soldiers on the city tower, and said: "The little king has served as the governor of the border troops and horses according to my emperor's decree, and has overseen all military and political affairs at the border. From now on, we are all in the same robe, so please don't be too polite, general."

”

When the general guarding the city saw that Du Ning humbly called himself "little king" instead of calling himself Wen Jun, indicating that he was coming to take over the military affairs of the border as an imperial envoy, he quickly changed his words: "It turns out that it is the governor, and the general will go right away."

The marshal is notified to come to greet you, please wait a moment."

"Thank you, General." Du Ning said with a smile.

Soon.

"Haha... I really didn't expect that the famous Yun Qijun would come to our Tianshui City, and I didn't expect that one day this old man would become Wenjun's colleague. What a blessing!"

A hearty laugh came, the city gate opened, and a group of scholars dressed in military uniforms came out.

The leader looks to be fifty years old, but his body is as strong as middle age, and his voice is full of energy, full of joy and excitement.

This man's name is "Di Zonghu", he comes from a family of generals, he is a military strategist and a great Confucian scholar, and he is also the famous commander-in-chief who guards Tianshui City.

"Wan Sheng met Marshal Di."

Du Ning stepped forward and held his hand in greeting in the name of a junior.

Di Zonghu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My Lord Governor, you must not do this. The general will not dare to accept this gift. You are really embarrassing me!"

Both Jin Wang and Wen Jun were extremely noble, so Di Zonghu did not dare to accept Du Ning's courtesy, nor did he dare to show off in front of Du Ning.

Du Ning said: "Mr. Di was born as a general. He has been serving in Tianshui City since he became a Jinshi. He has defended the territory of our country of Yun for decades. I admire him very much in my late life."

"No matter what, my meager achievements are not worth mentioning. You are the real hero."

Di Zonghu said: "You invented mysterious cannons and went to battle with the King of Yan. You conquered the grassland people and strengthened the destiny of the human race and made outstanding military achievements. You participated in the Three Realms Mountains to experience and kill foreign geniuses, and you fought against the capital of the Liao Kingdom. You made our people of the Yun Kingdom feel proud and proud.

, and personally went to the Seven Islands Sea Country to help overseas bloodlines return to the human race. Although I am your predecessor, my military achievements are never one-tenth of yours. I am Mr. Du, please accept my respects."<

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Du Ning.

"We'll see King Jin."

"Meet the Governor."

Many scholars and generals behind him saluted, bent ninety degrees, and treated Du Ning with more respect than ordinary scholars, and they admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

Young and promising, he can be called an unparalleled talent.

"You don't need to be polite, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, King Jin."

"Thank you, Lord Governor."

Everyone held their heads high.

Du Ning glanced at everyone present, and found that most people did not conceal their excitement and joy, as if they wished to see Du Ning as soon as possible.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When Di Zonghu received a letter from the Ministry of War of the imperial court, telling them that Du Ning would command the border in the name of King Jin to resist the monsters and Rakshasa tribes, many generals were extremely happy.<

/p>

Du Ning's current literary reputation is at its peak. To fight with Du Ning is to fight with Wenjun and fight with Shengyuan.

The scholars who followed Du Ning also became famous figures in the literary world because of Du Ning's relationship.

Especially those scholars who followed Du Ning to the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and returned, all of them became students of the Holy Academy.

On the other hand, among those scholars who had repeatedly opposed Du Ning, almost none of them had a good ending.

At least from the perspective of a bystander, this is indeed a fact.

"My Lord Governor, please come into the city." Di Zonghu said with a smile.

"Please, sir."

Du Ning and Di Zonghu lined up and entered Tianshui City together.

After entering Tianshui City, Di Zonghu led Du Ning directly to the military camp and summoned many soldiers to assemble.

As usual, let Du Ning inspect the soldiers in Tianshui City first, so that Du Ning can see the powerful military posture of the "Tianshui Army".

At the same time, this also allowed Du Ning, the imperial envoy, to inspect the army on behalf of the court.

The quality of an army and whether its combat effectiveness is adequate can all be determined through a relatively basic review.

Through reviewing and inspecting the army, Duning can also have a preliminary understanding of the soldiers at the border.

Di Zonghu's voice was like a bell: "Brothers, the young Confucian and Taoist scholar next to me is the famous Zhenguohou of our Yun Kingdom and the human race's Yun Qijun. Now he has been promoted to the King of Jin by the emperor and serves as a border soldier.

Governor Ma, in charge of all military and political affairs at the border, and on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol, can temporarily exercise the power of the Emperor. From today on, Governor Ma of the Army will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of the army. I also ask my brothers to listen to the order and not to disobey it."

"What? He is our Yun Qijun?"

"Nowadays, young people have the cultivation level of a bachelor. Is it true or false?"

"I've heard about Yun Qijun's fame for a long time, and now he's standing in front of us. It's simply unbelievable."

"I heard that Lord Yunqi would come to our Tianshui City two days ago. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Many soldiers and generals were whispering, and the scene was noisy.

At this time, a general behind Di Zonghu stepped forward and shouted with a very serious expression: "Hurry up and pay tribute to the Governor!"

Many officers and soldiers quickly straightened their backs, saluted Du Ning with very neat movements, and said in unison: "See you, Lord Governor!"

The voice is like thunder and full of momentum, which shows the strict discipline.

At the same time, there seemed to be a looming murderous intent in their eyes.

A majestic military power spreads out, like a mountain in front of you, making people feel awe.

It is also like a sharp sword hidden in a sheath. If you don't take it out of the sheath, it will kill everyone in all directions. All invading enemies will be wiped out and no one will survive.

This kind of military power and momentum cannot be shown through pretense, but is trained in actual combat.

Under the training that is close to actual combat, the soldiers can also develop this almost crazy killing intention.

As soon as the murderous intention comes out, the enemy can be deterred before the battle, and the enemy can be feared and frightened before the battle begins. Then the battle will definitely win.

Du Ning nodded with satisfaction. Di Zonghu was indeed a great scholar with a background as a general. He was able to train soldiers to the point where their murderous intent was restrained. This shows Di Zonghu's talent in military training.

He did not live up to the important task entrusted by the imperial court, nor did he live up to the high expectations placed on him by the people of Yun State.

Di Zonghu stood up straight and proudly said to Du Ning: "Please order the governor to review the Tianshui Army!"

"Okay."

Du Ning immediately issued a military order to everyone: "The review begins!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers' response was still neat and overwhelming.

Next, the soldiers passed in front of Duning with neat steps. Every soldier's face was full of strong self-confidence. With this military power, he looked down on the world and was not afraid of any invading enemies.

Di Zonghu introduced to Du Ning the advantages and disadvantages of each unit and the many generals who commanded each battalion.

"Governor, look, this is the new artillery regiment that our Yun Kingdom has added this year. Now we have three artillery regiments in Tianshui City. The three artillery regiments are thirty battalions. Each battalion has more than 1,500 people. A total of

There are nearly 50,000 people, and each regiment is equipped with more than 3,000 cannons of various sizes. They are definitely the main force of Tianshui City."

"Speaking of mysterious cannons, this is your masterpiece..."

Di Zonghu introduced the artillery battalion in Tianshui City to Du Ning. Now the Yun State Military Department has developed various types of Xuanji cannons. The cannons can bomb the entire mountain. Even if a fourth-level master comes, it will be difficult to resist the power of Xuanji cannons.

.

The small mysterious cannon is less powerful, but easy to disassemble and assemble, and is suitable for many battlefields, raids, ambush, cover, attacking small positions, etc.

After listening to Di Zonghu's introduction, even Du Ning himself was shocked.

Armory cow!

They actually built so many mysterious cannons that a military camp in Tianshui City has become an arsenal!

Even if the demon clan and the Rakshasa clan join forces to form a million-strong army, Du Ning is confident that he can defeat all enemies and make them unable to come back.

After the review, Du Ning said a few words of encouragement to the soldiers, which made the soldiers even more passionate and eager to go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds.

After that, Du Ning bid farewell to the soldiers and came to Di Zonghu's court hall, where he sat where Di Zonghu usually worked.

From this moment on, Du Ning served as the supreme commander of the border as the King of Jin.

Di Zonghu, who was originally the commander-in-chief, took the position next to Du Ning and was temporarily demoted to deputy commander-in-chief, assisting Du Ning in commanding Tianshui City's 250,000-strong army.

All matters in the army, big and small, are carried out in accordance with the military orders given to Du Ning.

Having said that, when Du Ning was handling official documents, he would consult Di Zonghu on everything and seek Di Zonghu's opinions and suggestions. After all, Di Zonghu was a senior and was more familiar with military affairs than Du Ning.

p>

When Di Zonghu saw that Du Ning did not put on any pretense of Wen Jun and looked approachable, he also liked Du Ning even more. He thought that Du Ning was indeed well-deserved. No wonder there are so many scholars boasting about Du Ning's reputation. Nowadays,

It seems that there is something special about it.

Therefore, Di Zonghu also patiently guided Du Ning, not seeming like a superior or subordinate, but rather like a teacher and a friend.

The official affairs at the border were not busy, so Du Ning and Di Zonghu quickly handled the documents in court.
