Chapter 273: The Emperor Returns, the Three Realms Resonate
Qin Mo had previously discussed with Jia Xu how to reorganize the army.
The South Vietnam Army and the Black Water Army, two army groups that made great contributions to the unification of Vietnam, will have their numbers cancelled and be reorganized.
Although it was a bit regrettable, the numbers of the two armies had too strong regional colors, which did not conform to the layout of "the world is one chessboard". Together with the prisoners of war from various countries, they were disrupted and reorganized into the Imperial Guards + the Four Directions Army.
The Imperial Guards are the troops that protect the capital and garrison the center, including 3,000 imperial guards, 200,000 imperial guards and 300,000 city guards, totaling 500,000 troops.
The four armies, namely the Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger in the West, the Vermillion Bird in the South, and the Black Tortoise in the North, each have five legions under their jurisdiction.
Taken together, in the early days of the Dai Viet Dynasty, a huge army of up to 2.5 million will still be retained, and it is expected to reduce the number of troops by 800,000.
The laid-off soldiers were either turned into yamen runners, or transferred to local garrisons, or simply sent back home to farm and live a few days of peace.
This reorganization was made because the country was just beginning to settle down and various places were unstable, so a large army was still needed to command all directions.
Once the world is truly at peace, we can consider conducting a second, third, or even fourth round of troop cuts to reduce the size of the army to a reasonable level.
The candidates for the commanders of each army were also finalized one by one.
Yan Chixia led the Imperial Guards, Huang Zhong led the Imperial Guards, and Tian Dan led the City Guards;
Li Mu led the Xuanwu Army to guard the land of Yan and Zhao;
Bai Qi led the White Tiger Army to guard Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Bashu.
Yue Yi led the Suzaku Army to guard the land of Chu and Yue;
Xiang Yan led the Canglong Army and guarded the eastern areas including Qi, Lu and Song.
The Huns in the north were the biggest threat to the future of the Dai Viet Dynasty, so it was natural that heavy troops had to be deployed. Li Mu, who had been fighting with the Huns for many years, was naturally the most suitable candidate.
The Guanzhong area in the west was the rear base and retreat route of the Dai Viet Dynasty. In case of instability in the Central Plains, they could retreat from Luoyang to Xianyang. Its position was equally crucial.
In addition, there were threats from barbarians and the Huns in the west, so Bai Qi was placed in charge.
Bai Qi, who is currently practicing the "Eight-Nine Profound Art", is undoubtedly the most trusted general by Qin Mo and can be entrusted with the country.
In comparison, the east and south sides are mainly used to deter villains and will also be the focus of future cuts.
Historically,
Originally, the Baiyue were a major threat to the Qin Dynasty and involved many Qin troops. The Dai Yue Dynasty naturally had no such concerns.
In addition to the commander, the former corps commanders of the South Vietnam Army and the Black Water Army, who followed Qin Mo in his battles, naturally also received due rewards and continued to serve as corps commanders.
The weight is much heavier than before.
After the announcement of the military reorganization, the court meeting ended and everyone dispersed.
…
After leaving the hall, Qin Mo returned to the imperial study, where Zhou Shihong was already waiting.
When the Kingdom of Yue unified the world, Qin Mo was naturally the biggest beneficiary, and Chinese players also benefited from it. It was like in "Honghuang", they finally had a long-term and stable rear base.
Such a grand vision was originally planned to be realized in the prehistoric continent.
Going around in circles,
But it became true in the Warring States subcontinent.
"Your spending this time is really big." Zhou Shihong seemed to be in a good mood.
Referring to the model of agricultural officials previously implemented in Baiyue, Qin Mo proposed the "Million Pavilion Chiefs" plan, preparing to station a agricultural official and a resident magician in each village.
A pavilion chief was assigned to each pavilion.
Five resident mages are stationed in each town.
In each county, a county lieutenant and twenty guest magicians were sent.
In each county, a county lieutenant and one hundred guest magicians were sent.
The plan is to spread the players to every corner of the Dai Viet Dynasty in such a way, weave a grassroots network of players, and lay the foundation for the rule of the Dai Viet Dynasty.
It is Tianshu that connects this network.
In other words, Qin Mo handed over half of the lifeline of the Dai Viet Dynasty to Tianshu. This does not mean that he is generous, but rather a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.
The more prosperous the Dai Viet Dynasty was, the more Qin Mo would benefit. Anyway, no one could shake his position.
Qin Mo looked at Zhou Shihong, "There is something I need your help with."
"Just say it."
Zhou Shihong wished he could help Qin Mo in some way, otherwise he would feel guilty.
"I hope to use the power of Tianshu to let the secular dynasty of Zhuxian Subcontinent, the Great Jin Dynasty, erect a statue of me in the royal city." Qin Mo made a very strange request. "As for the reason, let's use the name of the previous beast tide disaster when I killed the beast god and saved the people of the world."
Zhou Shihong: “…”
Qin Mo is really not humble at all.
If you think about it carefully, that was almost twenty years ago. It would be strange if the people of Dajin could remember it.
"Okay, I will definitely do it." Zhou Shihong nodded.
Since Qin Mo had made such a serious request, Zhou Shihong had to find a way to handle the matter no matter how strange it was. He asked curiously, "Can I ask, what are you going to do?"
"I can't say." Qin Mo shook his head.
"Oh well."
Zhou Shihong was not the kind of person who would ask questions, so he chatted for a while longer before saying goodbye and leaving.
Qin Mo's eyes were deep.
After collecting all nine Jiuzhou Ding, he received a mysterious message.
It is recorded above that when the Dai Viet Dynasty is founded, if Qin Mo can gather the luck of the human race from other worlds, he will have the opportunity to break the boundaries of "Son of Heaven" and touch the position of "Human Emperor".
Just hearing the name is very tempting.
In the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, Qin Mo fulfilled his promise and extended the life of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years. Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, erected a statue of him in Luoyang to commend his unparalleled contribution.
The statue is still a popular attraction for new players of "Honghuang" when visiting Luoyang.
If the Great Jin Dynasty could do something similar in the Zhu Xian subcontinent, Qin Mo would be able to gather more of the human race's luck and increase the chances of success.
In addition, there is another place that is closely related to Qin Mo.
That is the fallen Blackwater City.
Because of the beast tide, the human race in the prehistoric continent was trapped again, with only one in ten surviving. But after all, it is the main continent, and even if only a trace of luck can be gathered, it is incredible.
so,
Qin Mo planned to go to Blackwater City in person and erect the statue in the square.
But if you go there, there is a high chance that you will encounter the demon general Ba Shang.
Eight years ago, the demons in the prehistoric continent rioted and the human race suffered. In order to cover the evacuation of the people of Blackwater City, Qin Mo had a fight with Ba Shang, one of the twelve demon generals.
Luckily it ended in a draw.
As a Mahayana demon, Bashang would definitely feel ashamed and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
How to deal with Bashang?
The only trump cards Qin Mo can use now are the two magical powers of Shattering Jade Art and Law of Heaven and Earth.
After refining the Gang, Qin Mo's physical strength reached a new level. He could withstand higher-level Broken Jade Art and magical powers of the heavens and the earth, so as to improve his hard power in physical cultivation.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo no longer hesitated.
"Consume 1.2 million experience points to upgrade the Jade Crushing Technique to the fifth level, which can double your strength."
"Consume 1.6 million experience points to upgrade the Law of Heaven and Earth to the fifth level."
"Consume 3.2 million experience points to upgrade the Law of Heaven and Earth to the sixth level."
In the blink of an eye,
Qin Mo spent 6 million experience points.
These experience points are enough for an early Nascent Soul stage player to advance to the Spiritual Transformation stage in one fell swoop.
But it's worth it.
By performing the sixth level of Law of Heaven and Earth, Qin Mo's physical cultivation soared to the level of perfect fusion. Combined with the fifth level of Broken Jade Art, he might be able to fight against Ba Shang who was in the Mahayana period.
As for the seventh and eighth levels of the magical powers of heaven and earth, Qin Mo must survive the thunder tribulation of wind and thunder before he can practice them, otherwise he will explode and die.
If you want to practice during thunder tribulation, then you can only wait until you can overcome the tribulation.
Qin Mo was still not reassured, so he used up all the remaining 13 million experience points to advance his cultivation. Although he failed to reach the perfection of refining emptiness, he at least increased his magic power by a lot.
In a life-and-death fight, more magic power means a greater chance of winning.
After finishing everything, Qin Mo stayed in the quiet room for a month to regulate his breathing and restore his energy and spirit to the best state. Only then did he leave the palace.
Flying the sword, he headed towards the teleportation array.
…
Eight years have passed, and the once prosperous and bustling Blackwater City has become a desolate place.
Above the ruins, vines and vegetation have regained control of the land, hiding the remains of the buildings among the flowers, plants and trees, with only vague traces of human civilization.
Only that mysterious teleportation array has not changed at all, despite the passage of time.
Including the two golden-armored generals in front of the teleportation array, they have been motionless for eight years, like sculptures. It's just the divine power emanating from the generals that makes the monsters subconsciously stay away.
This place has become a paradise for monsters.
The Black and White Mountain Villa, not far from Blackwater City, also has a new owner.
It is Bashang.
As one of the twelve demon generals, Bashang originally practiced in the depths of Mount Zhongnan where the spiritual energy was richer, but he never left the Black and White Mountains in the past eight years.
Been waiting for Qin Mo to appear.
Eight years may seem like a long time to mortals, but in the eyes of a Mahayana monster like Bashang, it is just a blink of an eye.
only… …
Bashang looked towards the direction of Black Water City with a gloomy look. He had wasted too much time here, and that damn human monk had not appeared yet.
"Is it true that he will never come back?" Bashang began to doubt his judgment.
Just then,
The teleportation array in the distance, which had been silent for eight years, suddenly burst into a faint blue light.
"Um?"
Ba Shang's eyes lit up and his body trembled slightly with excitement. He knew very well that this was a sign that the teleportation array had been activated.
"Could it be that boy?"
At this moment, Bashang actually showed a rare nervousness, a little worried, just like a young wife who stayed at home all year round, waiting for her husband to return.
Bashang calmed his mind, restrained his breath, and concealed his tracks.
If it is really that kid, he must hide first, otherwise, that kid would not dare to walk out of the safe zone around the teleportation array.
Bashang is not willing to wait another eight years.
As he was speaking, the teleportation array flashed and a person appeared.
It was Qin Mo.
At this moment, Bashang in the distance was so excited that he almost couldn't hold back, and his demonic aura was revealed.
Take a deep breath.
Take a deep breath…
Ba Shang tried to calm down, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Boy, this time, you are dead!"
