In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

"How is the recruitment going?"

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Yang An summoned the newly appointed Haizhou Imperial City Commander Li Jinzhong and asked quietly.

"Back to Your Highness, according to the news from the Imperial City Department of each county, most of the conscripts have taken military flying boats to the Tianhai Regiment camp. Only a small number of conscripts have refused to serve."

Li Jinzhong bowed and answered respectfully, his posture extremely humble.

Nowadays, the Daqian Dynasty is in great power.

Except for a small number of conscripts who were lucky enough to refuse to serve, the rest of the conscripts, even disciples from the big clans in Zhoujun, did not dare to openly escape from service.

Because they know very well that a monk who can escape cannot escape from the temple.

Once they openly escape from service, they will inevitably be wanted by the court, and may even bring harm to their family.

Especially for this recruitment, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yang An, the Thirteenth Prince of Daqian, is deliberately targeting the local wealthy families and martial arts sects in Haizhou. If he really gets a handle on it, he will kill chickens and monkeys at all costs. .

Therefore, really smart people, even if they know that being called up this time will be dangerous, they don't dare to escape the call.

Only those who cannot see the situation clearly will be lucky and find various reasons to avoid this call-up.

Yang An nodded when he heard Li Jinzhong's answer, and then asked calmly: "Has there been any change in the registration status of land properties and settlements in various counties?"

Li Jinzhong did not dare to hide it and said cautiously: "Back to Your Highness, there have been changes in the registration of land and settlements in various counties and counties, but the changes are not big. Only some landowners, squires and some powerful merchants have reported some hidden properties and settlements. ”

"In addition, some were recruited to donate some money and precious medicine, saying that they would support His Highness in eradicating pirates."

As an executor.

Li Jinzhong naturally knew the secret behind this recruitment, and also knew Yang An's true intentions and plans.

Unfortunately, Yang An's move seemed to have little effect.

Only some low-ranking landowners, squires and county magnates updated their property and settlement registrations, and donated some money and precious medicines.

Those real Haizhou clans and martial arts sects showed no action at all.

There are even faint signs of being together.

In other words, these aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou did not feel that Yang An dared to really take action against them.

After all, in their view, even if Yang An completed the kingship assessment and truly became the King of Haizhou, he would still be unable to do without their assistance if he wanted to govern Haizhou well in the future.

In addition, if Yang An makes them bow their heads with a random recruitment order, where will the face of them go?

If this matter really spreads out, wouldn't it make all the great families and martial arts sects in the world laugh?

The most important thing is that because of Yang An's threat, they will report all the family's land and property to the court that they had managed to hide.

Isn't this a self-inflicted crime, a disguised admission that one's own family has hidden properties and properties, etc., thus violating the laws of the court?

Therefore, after some private discussions, everyone in Haizhou directly united together to form a temporary alliance to jointly resist the tyranny of the thirteenth prince Yang An, and they all expressed that they would fight Yang An to the end.

The main theme is that one law does not blame everyone.

This is also the reason why those who changed the land registration and donated money, food, treasures and medicines were all landlords, squires and county magnates, but not any aristocratic families or large martial arts sects.

To this.

Yang Anxin knew it well.

Even a few days ago, he had received a secret report from the Haizhou Imperial City Division and learned about the alliance between Haizhou people.

However, Yang An did not stop them, but allowed them to connect and collude with each other.

Since someone wants to use their own head to test whether their knife is sharp enough, let them test it.

Yang An definitely wants adult beauty.

Anyway, as long as they are happy.

"Now that you have made your choice, let's just start doing things according to the standards set by this king."

"Those who evade conscription and are impostors will have their homes confiscated and be exiled to Nanyang."

"The difference between the concealed property and the small population is more than double the real report. All the conscripts were incorporated into the vanguard camp."

"The hidden properties and Dingkou are twice as high as those reported in the real report. All the conscripts are incorporated into the substitute pioneer battalion."

"The concealed properties and small houses were half to twice as much as the actual reports. All the conscripts were incorporated into the Chinese Army."

"The concealed properties and small houses were less than half of the actual reported ones, and all the conscripts were incorporated into the rear army.

"All the data on farm properties and settlements are based on yesterday. If anyone donates money, grain, or precious medicine, it will be converted into three times the amount of money and included in the reported farm properties and settlements."

Yang An spoke calmly and ordered Li Jinzhong.

The Pioneer Battalion is, to put it bluntly, the cannon fodder camp.

Although he had already made an agreement with Lord Blood Slaughter to encircle and suppress the White Demon Pirates this time, it did not mean that everyone in the White Demon Pirates would be captured without mercy.

A big battle and a fight are definitely inevitable.

After all, everyone in the court is not a fool. If he acts too fake, it will definitely arouse doubts in the court and damage his reputation.

Therefore, this vanguard camp was sent by Yang An to the White Demon Pirates to kill, in order to make the extermination of the White Demon Pirates more realistic this time.

Of course, you can also understand that Yang An is killing people with a borrowed knife and wants to get rid of these people with the help of the White Devil Pirates.

no way.

Yang An has already given them a chance.

It turns out they don't want it themselves.

In this case, don't blame Yang An for being ruthless.

If everyone in Haizhou is still unwilling to report the hidden land and population after all the first batch of pioneer battalions die, and is unwilling to support the national defense.

Then just keep recruiting.

Think of the White Demon Pirates as one of the top ten pirate groups in the South Seas. There are four second-level martial arts masters alone, and there are more than 10,000 elite pirate corps.

With such a powerful force, the Tianhai Regiment alone is definitely not enough.

When the time comes, Yang Anduo recruits some warriors from Haizhou to assist, which is understandable.

Therefore, how long the final war can last depends on how determined the aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou are to resist.

If they can fight with themselves to the end, or directly rise up against the imperial court.

Yang An absolutely respects them as men.

Will give them a decent first time.

Li Jinzhong's body trembled slightly, he nodded and said: "I will obey His Highness's instructions!"

Yang An didn't pay attention to Li Jinzhong's reaction. He raised his head and looked at the young eunuch Zhou Wen beside him, and said calmly: "According to the king's decree, tomorrow we will go to the Tianhai Marine Corps for a military parade and worship the heaven and earth with the rites of a master."

Since ancient times, whenever a large army goes out on an expedition, a series of activities such as military parades, sacrifices to heaven and earth, sacrifices to temples, and sacrifices to the military god have been held before the expedition.

This series of activities is called the Master's Gift.

Related to the rites of the master, there are also the rites of Dajun, the rites of Datian, the rites of great battles, and the rites of great seals.

There is a record in "The Rites of Zhou, Chunguan, Da Zongbo": "The etiquette of the master is to use the public; the etiquette of the Dajun is to show sympathy to the public; the etiquette of the Datian is to simplify the public; the etiquette of the great battle is to accept the public; the ceremony of the great seal is to treat the public. Li means unity."

These five etiquettes are collectively referred to as the Five Rites of War, which include many military conquest etiquettes such as the use of troops to conquer, the integration of soldiers and farmers, the sharing of military taxes, hunting in the four seasons, recruiting people's strength, building civil works, establishing boundaries and sealing territories, etc.

Yang An went to the Tianhai Legion to review the troops, worship the heaven and earth, and perform the master's ceremony.

Not only does it mean that the Tianhai Corps is about to take the oath to fight.

It also means that his examination for becoming a king will officially begin.

…………

The news that the Thirteenth Prince went to the Tianhai Marine Corps for a military parade spread quickly.

For a time, I don’t know how many people’s hearts were affected.

Some people were dismissive and looked on with cold eyes.

Some people are anxious and uneasy, fearing that disaster is imminent.

There are also many people with ulterior motives, their eyes are deep and they don’t know what they are planning.

However, no one can let time stand still.

The sun rises in the east and the sky is bright.

When a new day comes.

As the gate of the Governor's Mansion slowly opened, Yang An's car, escorted by three thousand Jinwu Guards, followed the honor guard and headed eastward towards the Nanwan Camp of the Tianhai Regiment.

Flags are fluttering and hunting sounds.

The long wind blows, and the sky and the earth are vast.

…

…

Nanwan Bay is more than fifty miles away from Tiannan City.

This is a deep-water port. Because the coastline stretches like a long dragon, and the South Bay is located at the head of the dragon, the South Bay is also called Nanlong Bay.

Its momentum is like a blue dragon emerging from the water, roaring for nine days, and the terrain is excellent.

It is also adjacent to Tiannan City and can rely on each other.

Therefore, the Tianhai Regiment of the Daqian Navy is stationed here. While responsible for the coastal defense of Nanyang, it also assumes the important responsibility of protecting Tiannan City.

In the South Bay, warships docked at the port pier one after another, flags fluttering.

Not far from the dock, there are even more barracks scattered here and there, with flags flying.

If there is a Feng Shui master who is good at observing and reading Qi, he will watch from a distance.

He will see an illusory scene of a blue dragon circling the sky.

This is the military evil blood energy gathered by the Tianhai Corps stationed in the South Bay for thousands of years. It is condensed into one, rich and persistent, giving rise to a terrifying momentum.

The strong military will infects almost every inch of the South Bay, making the entire South Bay the home of the Tianhai Regiment. It also increases the strength of the soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment in fighting here by more than 30%.

This is the advantage of playing at home.

"Is His Highness finally coming to South Bay for the military parade?"

In the main tent of the Tianhai Regiment, General Hailong Wang Haichao, who was personally conferred by the emperor of the dynasty, was standing in front of the sand table in light armor, rehearsing tactics and tactics.

"Yes, the honor guard has already left Tiannan City and will arrive at South Bay in about half an hour."

The personal guard who had just heard the news clasped his hands and said solemnly: "Commander, we should prepare early to welcome the Thirteenth Prince's holy drive!"

Wang Haichao nodded and gave the order: "Command all the soldiers in the army to put on armor and line up, clean the barracks, and prepare to receive the Holy Frame of His Highness Thirteenth Prince!"

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and continued: "By the way, you lead four teams of soldiers to search the surrounding area, and don't miss any corner."

"Also, let the warriors who have been recruited be prepared to welcome the troops. We must ensure that the military parade of His Highness Thirteenth Royal Highness is held normally."

Wang Haichao naturally knew what Yang An was doing in Haizhou during this period.

Thinking again of the assassination that Yang An suffered more than ten days ago.

Wang Haichao had to cheer up and ask people to carry out search and protection work to avoid giving opportunities to those with ulterior motives.

"As you command!"

Several personal guards nodded and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.

Suddenly, the entire South Bay was in full swing and noisy.

Either the army is lining up, or the barracks are being cleaned, and the military parade and sky worship square are being arranged.

At the same time, a large number of elite scouts in the army, wearing armor and holding spears, began to conduct large-scale search and reconnaissance operations in various parts of Nanhai Bay in teams of fifty people.

Until half an hour passed.

Not far from Nanhai Bay, smoke and dust rolled like a long dragon.

Yang An's procession was so powerful that it could be felt from a few miles away. The earth shook and rumbled, as if a cavalry army of tens of thousands of people was charging.

"Welcome Your Highness!"

"Welcome Your Highness!"

"..."

The entire Tianhai Corps, plus the thousands of people who were temporarily recruited this time, all added up to at least 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses.

Now everyone shouted together, the sound shook dozens of miles, resounded through the sky, and the world shook.

"The military formation, military force, military spirit... are indeed extraordinary!"

Yang An sat upright on the bright yellow Yunyu carriage, listening to the roar of the mountains and the sea, and felt the rolling waves rushing towards him, lifting the pearl curtains of the carriage.

The military force and military spirit of the 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers of the Tianhai Corps are condensed together. Even if they are not as good as the three thousand Jinwu Guards, they will not be much worse.

Of course, if the two armies really have to fight against each other, the Tianhai Corps will definitely not be the opponent of the three thousand Jinwu Guards.

There is no way.

The Tianhai Corps is just an ordinary navy of the Daqian Dynasty. Most of the soldiers at the bottom have not entered the martial arts.

The minimum standard of the Jinwu Guards is the fourth-grade innate realm of martial arts, and they are fully armed with psychic armor, psychic weapons that have been tempered for thousands of times, etc.

The two armies are not comparable at all.

In fact, let alone the three thousand Jinwu Guards.

Without forming a battle formation, even three hundred Jinwu Guards can break through the Tianhai Corps' formation head-on and kill all the 50,000 or 60,000 Tianhai Corps soldiers in front of them.

Even if there are several 10,000-man generals of the third-grade martial arts and two 2nd-grade military commanders in the Tianhai Corps joining the battle.

A thousand Jinwu Guards can still kill all the people in the Tianhai Corps in a very short time.

This is the powerful combat power of the emperor's personal guards.

It is definitely not something that ordinary border troops of the Daqian Dynasty can touch.

Of course, this does not mean that the Tianhai Corps is weak.

On the contrary, the strength of the Tianhai Corps, which has two 2nd-grade military commanders and six 3rd-grade military commanders, is definitely not to be underestimated.

The spirit and blood of tens of thousands of troops are integrated into one, forming a military formation, and they may not be unable to fight against the great master of heaven and man.

But to do this, you must have a real unparalleled god general.

It is difficult for an ordinary general to carry the spirit and blood of tens of thousands of troops. If he really wants to accommodate them by force, he will inevitably end up with a mental breakdown and physical death.

As the saying goes: It is easy to find a heavenly man, but it is difficult to find a godly general.

The value of an unparalleled godly general is higher than that of an ordinary heavenly man grandmaster.

Yang An pondered and slowly stood up. The real imperial dragon energy rose into the sky like a dazzling brilliance, shocking the clouds.
