I, who plundered the heavens, had a hundred thousand dead men

…

And as Li Yang issued this imperial edict, the people in the entire capital were surprised and unbelievable after reading the contents on the imperial list.

"Now His Majesty actually wants to grant marriages to all the Black Tiger Army officers! No wonder the imperial court has been going from house to house looking for girls of suitable age to register. Originally, I thought the new emperor wanted to draft girls, but now I didn't expect that he actually wants to marry the Black Tigers.

One hundred thousand soldiers of the army grant marriage!"

"It's just that the conditions for granting marriage are too overbearing. Each Black Tiger Army officer can freely choose the three women on the list previously registered by the court as wives."

"Shh! Keep your voice down, this is an imperial edict from the emperor, you can't criticize it casually!"

"Have you forgotten how our heaven came to be?"

The people watching around quickly stopped criticizing the content of the imperial list.

In the afternoon, in the capital, inside the Su family's residence.

"My good sister, you are about to enter the palace and become the imperial concubine. Don't be so sad. Fortunately, His Majesty the Holy Emperor had a chance encounter with you. Otherwise, why would this opportunity fall on you?

Come on! This is the blessing you have earned over several lifetimes."

"Besides, don't you know what's going on with our Su family now?"

"Okay now, as long as you can enter the palace and become the imperial concubine, our Su family will be relatives of the emperor in the capital from now on. No one will dare to bully our Su family, and my Su family can be considered a truly wealthy family.

It’s the foundation for a foothold.”

At this time, the old man of the Su family also spoke.

"Tan'er, His Majesty the Holy Emperor has ordered you to enter the palace. You can't be willful. Now go back to your room and tidy up properly. Eunuch Zhang said that in two hours, everyone in the harem will be gone.

I'm here to take you to the palace."

"Okay Tan'er, you were able to have such a fate with His Majesty the Holy Emperor because of an accident. Now that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has recruited you into the palace, it can be regarded as your best destination. Stop thinking about things.

"Su Tan'er's mother also said quickly.

When Su Tan'er heard this, coupled with the various experiences she had experienced in the past few months, she had already matured.

The reason why she had a frown on her face at this moment was mainly because she recalled the scene when she and Li Yang met in Jiangning.

It can be said that from that moment on, her subsequent experience has never been easy.

However, now, the swinger who despised her back then has become the emperor of the dynasty.

And how could a man who could develop and cultivate so many soldiers in secret be some kind of dissolute young master?

However, Su Tan'er thought about various possibilities, but still couldn't guess why Li Yang acted like that in the first place, or that Li Yang was really drunk at the time and did it unintentionally.

But no matter what the situation is, it is meaningless for Su Tan'er to continue to delve deeper now.

After all, Li Yang is already the emperor of the current dynasty, and he is a noble person. How could a woman like her be able to guess at will.

Later, at the urging of her mother, Su Tan'er returned to her room and started to put on her makeup.

In fact, Li Yang had almost forgotten about Su Tan'er, the heroine whom he had met once in Jiangning. The reason why he now ordered someone to recruit Su Tan'er into the palace.

It was mainly after 'communicating' with Lou Shuwan who had just been sent to the palace that I remembered the heroine Su Tan'er.

Therefore, Li Yang also asked people to recruit Su Tan'er into the palace, which could be considered as a companion for Lou Shuwan.

In fact, there is one thing that Li Yang doesn't know, that is, the fact that he was frivolous about Su Tan'er was widely known in Jiangning.

If Li Yang doesn't take Su Tan'er in now, then no one in this world will dare to marry Su Tan'er.

Because once anyone learns that Su Tan'er had such an experience with the current emperor, they will definitely not dare to have any thoughts about her.

Therefore, now that Su Tan'er can be remembered by Li Yang because of Lou Shuwan, it can be regarded as the best belonging to Su Tan'er.

…

Half a month later, as the imperial edict issued by Li Yang spread throughout the Celestial Empire, a large number of women of the right age who had been registered before were escorted by specialized personnel and headed for the capital in a mighty manner.

Because currently the number of dead soldiers stationed in the capital is the largest, even if the entire Central Plains is fully controlled by Li Yang.

But Li Yang still left 30,000 dead soldiers in the capital.

Then based on these 30,000 dead soldiers, a total of 150,000 troops were integrated and began to train in the huge military camp in the capital.

The 30,000 dead soldiers who belong to Li Yang's core have the lowest position of corps commander, each commanding 4 ordinary soldiers.

There are currently 30,000 dead soldiers in the capital, so the number of women of the right age in the capital alone is far from enough to allocate.

It can only be escorted from other places.

At present, all the 100,000 dead soldiers summoned by Li Yang are not full.

In the previous war to ban the Wu Dynasty and quickly control the entire territory of the Wu Dynasty, Li Yang's 100,000 dead soldiers had lost a total of more than 6,000 people, including 2 level 2 dead soldiers.

Because Li Yang had already consumed all the luck points he had accumulated in the previous time and space in order to quickly occupy and overthrow the Wu Dynasty with greater certainty.

These luck points are mainly consumed to upgrade more level 2 dead soldiers.

It didn't cost much to replenish the dead soldiers lost previously.

After all, when Li Yang occupied Lin'an and Jiangning before, the casualties among his dead soldiers were not very large.

These casualties were all made up before he formally abolished the Wu Dynasty.

But now that Li Yang has taken full control of the Wu Dynasty and banned it, he is temporarily unable to do anything about the more than 6,000 casualties.

Therefore, this time he could only grant marriages to more than 90,000 dead soldiers under his command.

As for the other soldiers who died in battle, he could only wait for an opportunity to compensate them later.

Lin'an, Ordnance Station.

"Chief Engineer Lin, General Qin asked our Ordnance Institute to produce 50,000 firearms this month. You must know that our Ordnance Institute only produced 20,000 firearms a month at most. Now it has suddenly more than doubled. This is not to embarrass us.

Ordnance depot!"

"Okay, don't be unreasonable. General Qin has already said that he will give us the greatest authority. No matter how many craftsmen and manpower we need, he will satisfy them all."

"If this is the case, it is not impossible for our Ordnance Institute to double its original production capacity."

"Besides, General Qin has promised us that as long as we complete this mission, we will give each of us at the ordnance depot a bonus of at least 100 taels of silver."

"At least 100 taels per person! The current court is too kind to us craftsmen!"

"Yes! When I was in the Wu Dynasty, my annual salary didn't even amount to ten taels of silver. Now my bonus alone is 100 taels."

"Isn't that right? Today's Holy Emperor not only attaches great importance to us craftsmen, so that we are no longer inferior to others, but also gives us very high salaries."

"We should serve the imperial court and serve His Majesty well."

"What Chief Engineer Lin said is that we must complete the tasks assigned to us by the imperial court, and we must not let the Holy Emperor disappoint us at Lin'an Ordnance Institute."

Because when Lin An was in the Wu Dynasty, the Secret Intelligence Department secretly built a large gunpowder and firearms manufacturing workshop.

Then, after Li Yang occupied Lin'an, he expanded the original gunpowder and firearms workshop many times with the help of his army of dead soldiers.

It also comprehensively improved the manufacturing process and technology of gunpowder and firearms.

After Li Yang took complete control and banned the Wu Dynasty, more raw materials were continuously transported to Lin'an.

The production capacity of Lin'an's ordnance factory is also constantly increasing.

But now, the dead soldiers under Li Yang have been reorganized and expanded to nearly one million troops throughout the Central Plains.

Therefore, the demand for firearms, gunpowder and artillery is even greater.

Just tens of thousands of firearms are far from enough.

In fact, in order to deal with this situation, Li Yang had people start building ordnance depots in various places in the capital, Linhai and other places.

We should comprehensively manufacture and produce gunpowder and firearms, and strive to have all the reorganized millions of troops equipped with firearms as soon as possible.

And at that time, even if Jingguo in the north does not take action, Li Yang will sound his clarion call to conquer the city in this time and space.

Time flies, half a year later.

The imperial capital of Jingguo.

"Your Majesty, the hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry that I passed by have basically recovered their strength, and they are fully prepared in terms of food and grass supplies. I propose that we should immediately send our troops south to continue to expand our territory for the Jingguo."

"Any comments from the rest of you?"

"I second my opinion. Now that our elite troops in Yingguo have basically recovered and we have enough food and grass, we can move south and capture the entire Central Plains in one fell swoop."

Emperor Jingguo Bailihong heard this urgently, pondered slightly and said.

"According to the intelligence we recently obtained in the Central Plains, Li Yang, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty who overthrew the Wu Dynasty, was also an ambitious man. Taking advantage of the fact that the foundation of the Celestial Dynasty is still relatively weak shortly after its establishment, it is indeed a good time to go south."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Okay! Pass on my decree and immediately mobilize the army to prepare to go south and capture the Central Plains."

Soon, as the Jingguo side continued to gather troops at the border, relevant news quickly spread to the capital.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor, recently there have been signs that the State of Jing has increased its troops on the border of our country. It is very likely that they are planning to go south to use troops against our country. Our army should be prepared for a full-scale war at any time and after a long period of time."

"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Li Yang, who was sitting high in the Jinluan Hall, asked Gao Qiu.

Since Li Yang found wives for his dead soldiers at the beginning, Gao Qiu and other ministers have been rewarded by Li Yang.

So Gao Qiu became prime minister, and other ministers were promoted to corresponding positions.

Under the court, Gao Qiu heard Li Yang's question. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly stood up and answered.

"The reason why Jingguo increased its troops on the border with our country must be to go south and use troops against our country."

"However, I have been in power for less than a year, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor's new army has not yet fully formed its combat effectiveness. Therefore, I feel that our government should take the initiative to negotiate peace with Jingguo, so as to delay the war and make Jingguo temporarily give up on me.

China’s idea of ​​using troops.”

"In the future, when His Majesty the Holy Emperor's million-strong army has formed sufficient combat effectiveness, it will not be too late to start a war with Jingguo."

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. The cavalry of Jingguo is extremely powerful. Our army of one million new troops has only been established for less than a year. It is indeed not easy to turn against Jingguo at this time."

Soon, those ministers who followed Gao Qiu's lead also expressed their opinions one after another.

"Do you all think that our country should propose peace to Lord Jing?" Li Yang, who was in the Jinluan Palace, heard this and said to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in a leisurely manner.

The ministers all over the dynasty looked at each other and focused their attention on Gao Qiu.

Obviously, in the past six months, Gao Qiu has become a central figure among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Of course, this was actually done intentionally by Li Yang.

Li Yang did this to make Gao Qiu inflated first, and then look for opportunities to directly take down in one fell swoop the wastes like Gao Qiu in the DPRK who are incapable of doing practical things.

As for why Li Yang went to so much trouble, the main reason is that Li Yang promised these people at the beginning that he would not investigate their past.

At the same time, Li Yang also needed these people to continue to maintain the daily operations of various functional departments of the imperial court.

But now it has been more than half a year since Li Yang banned the Wu Dynasty. In these more than half a year, there have been enough people to replace these ministers who are not capable of doing things but are good at forming cliques for personal gain.
