Outside Yingtian City, in the direction of Nanhuang, the construction of the tall Temple of Heaven began a few months ago. It was supervised by Wang Shouzheng. It took several months and was finally completed in October.

The Temple of Heaven is built on the Zihua Mountain outside the city. The mountain is more than 300 meters high. From here, you can overlook Wucheng.

On November 1st, Zhao Cheng's civil and military officials all stayed up all night. Before dawn, they all went to Zihua Mountain and waited under the Temple of Heaven.

And at the foot of the mountain, at the forefront are the 2,000 soldiers from the Taiping Battalion, and further back, there are a total of 200,000 Yingtian troops.

Of the 200,000 Yingtian troops, excluding the initial 70,000, the remaining 130,000 were all recruited in less than a year. The descendants of the three families of Feng, Chen and Wu.

Among them, Liangjiazi and Jiangzu belong to the reserve service of Yingtian Army. Only after they have made meritorious service and accumulated enough qualifications can they become regulars. In terms of treatment, they are quite different from the regular army.

As for those demoted generals, the same is true. Only by making meritorious service can they be promoted.

Of course, Ying Tianjun didn’t want all the soldiers. All the soldiers were sent to mining by Zhao Cheng at the earliest time. There are many mines in the Southern Wilderness. In the past, these mines were in the hands of powerful people. Now it's all his.

And as long as the mines have been dug for two consecutive months, they can choose, or get a certain amount of travel expenses to send back home, or participate in the assessment and become a reserve soldier of the Yingtian Army.

It is also the fact that the assessment of the Ying Tian Army is becoming more and more difficult. Otherwise, with Zhao Cheng's current prestige in the Southern Wilderness, the number of the Ying Tian Army is far from being only 200,000.

Bullets killed people, thunder and fire destroyed the city, and in less than a year, the Southern Wilderness was unified, and there was no effective resistance at all.

Every time he went to a place, Zhao Cheng killed all the tyrants, used political officials, agricultural officials and other officials to rebuild the system, and made a lot of infrastructure construction, selected talents from the people, and distributed gold, silver, money and food from various channels to In order to improve people's livelihood, there are Taoist officials. Every few days, they convene the people to attend classes, state their strengths, elaborate on the evils of tyrants, talk about the ways of Huang Tian, ​​and constantly talk about it. Only the Great General Ying Tian can lead everyone to prosperity. , the general is here, there is no reason to be short of money and food.

Ordinary people don't really understand the truth, but there is one thing that is beyond doubt, that is, life has indeed changed for the better. Not anymore.

When a security officer of the Yingtian Army takes office, he doesn't even need to bring any manpower, he just needs to go around the place, order a few random people, and manpower will naturally be available.

Under such circumstances, as long as those few people are not extremely cowardly by nature, relying on Ying Tian's army, and as long as the magistrate gives orders, they will dare to kill people. There is no arrogance of local ruffians at all.

This is the power of power.

Even though these people were still being bullied by ruffians before and did not dare to resist, but once they have power, they are nothing but ruffians.

At the same time, in troubled times, allusions are used again. For the first time you catch a hooligan, you will beat him to death;

With such a combination of kindness and power, it is natural not to worry about the disobedience of the world.

And people, all yearn for power, and now the Southern Wilderness has long spread the word that the Yingtian Army is a divine soldier, and ordinary people don't even have the chance to fight after they enter. Military merit, at the same time, if one person joins the army, the whole family will benefit, and blood relatives will have additional merits when they work.

Not only that, this is also a talisman. If there is a grievance, you can directly hold the military documents and complain across the ranks. If any officials dare to obstruct, once found out, all the officials of the upper and lower levels will sit together. If the situation is serious, the three clans will be killed.

Zhao Cheng attaches great importance to the army, especially when the world is uncertain.

As far as this system is concerned, it can be said to be very effective. Many families think that it is beneficial to have a soldier in their family to obtain various privileges, but Ying Tianjun's assessment is constantly tightening. , Ordinary people, Ying Tianjun doesn't want it at all.

But the more you don't want it, the more ordinary people want to squeeze in.

Under such circumstances, if Zhao Cheng let go of his mouth, the number of Ying Tian's army would be tripled or even more in an instant.

It's just that Zhao Cheng would rather be short than excessive, and not blindly expand the army.

The night was very dark. Although more than 200,000 people gathered here on Zihua Mountain, it was extremely quiet. The weather in November was already so cold that there were no birds and animals. Occasionally, there were some out-of-season animals. He also sensed the strong military evil spirit a long time ago, and was frightened away from here.

There are a few wisps of wind that occasionally roll up, letting people know that time is indeed flowing.

It's very cold, especially the place on the top of the mountain is even colder. Those generals are nothing but strong. Such a little bit of cold air is nothing at all, but those civil servants are not very good in physical fitness. The rolling cold air makes these people Can't help trembling, especially Li Tonghai, who is famous for his ingenuity in the world, felt his whole body was stiff and his face was ashen, but his heart was burning.

Claiming to be king, Taoist Huang Tian swept the world back then, but he skipped this step, and went directly to capture the capital of the gods first, and then proclaim himself emperor in one fell swoop.

But now, Zhao Cheng occupies the Southern Wilderness to become the king. Although the Southern Wilderness is incomparable to the territory of Huang Tiandao in its heyday in terms of territory and population, he is deeply aware that the Southern Wilderness is now , Many things are the former Huang Tiandao, completely incomparable.

The former Huang Tiandao seems to have swept the world, but in fact, the foundation is very shallow, or there is no foundation at all, so when the luck is gone, the opportunity is lost, it will be a quick failure.

However, the current Yingtian army has deep roots, sits in the southern wasteland, promises everything they say, and obeys all government orders.

Even in the future, Ying Tian's army will fail in a row outside the Southern Wilderness, and it will be difficult to shake the basic situation in the Southern Wilderness.

If Huang Tiandao at that time had such a foundation, the world would have already been unified by now.

Of course, Li Tonghai also knows that these are very difficult to copy. If nothing else, just kill the powerful. Ying Tianjun can easily do this because the soldiers of Ying Tianjun were all from other states at the beginning. People, not the local soldiers of the Southern Wilderness, if the local soldiers were used to kill the local tyrants, the army might mutiny in an instant.

This is also a meeting of circumstances, if Huang Tiandao hadn't been defeated and retreated to Qingzhou, and wanted to advance to the southern wilderness, it would have been impossible to have the current situation.

But now, although it was only Wang Nanhuang, not Wang Tianxia, ​​Li Tonghai seemed to have foreseen the invincible future that Ying Tianjun Bingfeng pointed out.

The world is nothing more than a thing in the palm of your hand!
