Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 153 Zhou Cheng wished to think about it, the famous general who fought against the Japanese

Su Yuan held the soldier talisman in his hand and chose to summon it.

Although the archers summoned last time were a bit tasteless, they were only compared to other summoned soldiers.But compared to real soldiers, it is still excellent.

Not to mention anything else, just summoning the soldier's absolute loyalty can outperform a real soldier by an absolute advantage.Even if the real soldiers are some elite regiments.

Like many high-ranking people always like to say, "Compared with ability, loyalty is more important." This is the reason.No matter how strong the ability is, if he has evil intentions, he will strike back at that time, which may make the leader fall short.

Therefore, even if ordinary soldiers were still summoned this time, Su Yuan was equally satisfied.

Changes began to appear on the light screen of the soldier talisman, and line drawings slowly emerged. Su Yuan immediately lifted his spirits: "Rare generals?"

After summoning Li Yuanba last time, he thought it would not be so easy to summon another rare general, but he did not expect to come again so soon.

He stared at the picture composed of lines on the light curtain, and gradually, a human figure emerged.

Su Yuan wanted to recognize the person before the results were displayed, but after watching for a long time, he couldn't figure out who it was.

[Successful Summoning: Get a Rare General]

【General: Qi Jiguang】

Main battle type: Naval battle

Equipment: none
Quantity: 1
Remarks: "I don't want to be named Marquis, I hope Haibo will be peaceful"

……

"It's him!"

When Su Yuan saw the result, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This is really drowsy. He came to send a pillow. He had just killed the envoy of the Eastern Japanese on his front foot and turned against the Eastern Japanese, and his character exploded and summoned Qi Jiguang, the "Famous Anti-Japanese General"!

And what makes him most happy is that Qi Jiguang not only can fight, but is also a "military engineer".He is also very good at the invention and modification of ordnance, especially in warships, he has very rich strategic experience and vision.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the talent that Su Yuan lacks the most. Su Yuan couldn't wait and immediately summoned him.

With a flash of golden light, Qi Jiguang, in his thirties, appeared, with a Chinese character face full of determination, he respected Su Yuan: "Qi Jiguang has met adults!"

"well."

Su Yuan was excited, needless to say, immediately took Qi Jiguang to see Lu Wuyou.

He told Lu Wuyou that Qi Jiguang would lead the manufacturing of warships, and he would be responsible for the management of the recruited talents.And also let Lu Wuyou give Qi Jiguang a certain amount of shipbuilding funds, the specific amount is determined by the latter.

Lu Wuyou didn't know where Su Yuan found this talent, but since Su Yuan trusted him so much, he naturally wouldn't have any objections.

"The construction of the warship depends on General Qi more." Lu Wuyou said.

"I will fulfill my mission."

Qi Jiguang has a calm personality, and after he knew what he was doing, he set off for the ferry in the suburbs of Beijing.

He needs to conduct field inspections and inspect existing ships before drawing up drawings and attempting to manufacture them.

Seeing Qi Jiguang's departure, Su Yuan was very satisfied, and swept away the annoyance that was disgusted by the Eastern Japanese envoy.

He believes that with Qi Jiguang as the leader and more engineering talents, he will soon be able to own his own warship.At that time, whether it's Zhou Cheng's "Southern Zhou" or Dongwo, they will be like grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump for long.

……

The Southern Zhou Dynasty in Su Yuan's heart was officially established after Zhou Chengnan fled for nearly a month.

The capital city of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was chosen in Xiangcheng, the capital city of Yunzhou. Mu Youtu of Yunzhou Prefecture was a staunch supporter of the Great Zhou royal family. When Zhou Cheng fled south, he tried his best to welcome Zhou Cheng and let Zhou Cheng go to him.

Originally, Zhou Cheng wanted to settle in the more prosperous "Jinzhou", but Jinzhou Zhou Mu seemed not very willing, and the treatment he received was a bit perfunctory.

Zhou Cheng was very annoyed at first and wanted to get angry, but after several times of persuasion by Prime Minister He Zhongping, he still endured it for the time being and chose to ascend the throne in Yunzhou.

The day of enthronement was gloomy.

Although the ceremony went smoothly and everyone was smiling, no matter how you looked at it, the smiles were forced and perfunctory.

Jiangbei was completely lost, and he fled south to this point. If he could still celebrate with joy from the heart, then he would be truly heartless.

Although Zhou Cheng himself sat on the coveted throne, he was not very happy.What he wanted to be was the emperor of the whole world, not just the emperor of Jiangnan—even in Jiangnan, several state shepherds flattered him, which made him very depressed.

Even if he wanted to punish him, he was powerless. The key was that he, the emperor, had no soldiers at his disposal.

The Forbidden Army, the Beijing Army, and even the Qingzhou Army that the emperor can personally order are all in Jiangbei, and they have all surrendered to Su Yuan now.As for the soldiers and horses of the states in the south of the Yangtze River, it is difficult for him to mobilize now.

But this is no wonder to other people. Before Su Yuan raised his troops and called on righteous men from all over the world to join in the grand event, there were uprisings around the corner.At that time, in order to suppress the localities, Emperor Qingxiang issued an edict to order the prefects and herdsmen of all states to treat them severely.

At that time, one Su Yuan was enough for Qingxiang to have a headache, and he didn't want "Wang Yuan" or "Li Yuan" to appear in other places.

But as soon as this edict came out, it gave the prefects and prefects the opportunity to expand their military power. With this kind of god-given opportunity, all prefects and pastors greatly expanded their troops and firmly grasped the control of the army by themselves.

After coming and going, the local uprising was suppressed, but the expanded military forces of the states and state pastors could not return.At this time, it is impossible for them to disband everyone. Enjoying the feeling of holding a large army, many state shepherds have the pleasure of becoming princes, so it is impossible to let them go easily.

So this made Zhou Cheng, the new emperor, very embarrassed. Zhou Mu had many soldiers and generals, but he, the emperor, had nothing under his command.The only civil servants and military generals were all fleeing south with him from the capital.

After the ceremony, only Zhou Cheng and He Zhongping were left in the hall.

Seeing Zhou Cheng's gloomy expression, He Zhongping knew that he was in a bad mood, so he persuaded him, "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Your Majesty has the orthodoxy of the Zhou Dynasty in his body, and the prefect of Yunzhou to help him. He will definitely be able to conquer the states in the south of the Yangtze River."

Zhou Cheng nodded, and suddenly asked, "How's the connection with Dongwa?"

Earlier news came that Dongwo sent envoys to the capital, and it seemed that they wanted to cooperate with the Bei'an Army, which shocked Zhou Cheng greatly.

The Bei'an army alone beat them to the ground, and if you add a Dongwo, what's the deal?In particular, Dongwo can also make up for the biggest defect of the Bei'an Army-ships.Although the Eastern Japanese are also small boats, they cannot support enough numbers. Once the Bei'an army is equipped, it is possible to cross the river to attack.

But then there was news that Su Yuan actually killed the envoy sent by Dongwa. Dongwa was furious and declared revenge. Su Yuan also publicly declared war, and the two sides immediately cut off the possibility of joint cooperation.

This made Zhou Cheng overjoyed. Immediately, he sent envoys to Dongwo to see if he could draw the latter to his side.

An enemy's enemy is a friend. Even though Dongwo used to harass Da Zhou frequently, as long as Su Yuan can be wiped out, Zhou Cheng doesn't care about those trivial matters.

He Zhongping said: "Your Majesty, the envoy has not returned yet. But I heard that the reason why Su Yuan of the Bei'an Army killed the envoy of the Eastern Japanese Army was because the conditions for cooperation proposed by the Eastern Japanese Army were too harsh."

"Oh? Under what conditions?"

"I heard that Towa wants to take Ozushima away."

"Ozushima..."

Zhou Cheng looked thoughtful. In fact, he didn't know where this small island was. He put on an act just because he didn't want to be looked down upon by He Zhongping.

He Zhongping had a good idea of ​​what Zhou Cheng was thinking, and he didn't try to expose it, but continued: "Ozu Island is rich in resources, and its location is crucial. If it is given to Dongwa, it will be a very big threat to Dazhou Haizhou."

"So what?" Zhou Cheng shook his head and said, "Compared to Haizhou and the four states in Jiangbei, which one is bigger and which one is smaller? Besides, that Dongwo also found the wrong person. Ozu Island is obviously my Dazhou territory, and it was not captured by Nasu." What's the use of looking for him?"

"Yes……"

He Zhongping said in his heart that the Eastern Japanese are not stupid, they know that Su Yuan and Bei'an Army are in charge now, not the seemingly incoherent new imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River.In this case, it was only natural that he would look for Su Yuan first.

"If he doesn't give it to Su Yuan, I think it's okay to give it." Zhou Cheng said bitterly, "As long as Dongwo can help me take back Jiangbei and my ancestor's foundation, let alone Xiaojin Island, even the whole Haizhou will give it to me." So what's the matter with Dongwo!"

He Zhongping was startled when he heard the words, and opened his mouth to speak, but seeing Zhou Cheng's angry expression, he swallowed the words back.

"Zhongping, you immediately send another envoy to Dongwa, and have a good relationship with Chen Qing, the great name of Dongwa. Now that they have enmity with the Bei'an Army, they will naturally choose to cooperate with us."

"Yes."

He Zhongping agreed to leave, but after walking out the gate, he was worried.

"Master He, what's the matter?"

At the door, Han Xianzhi, the new minister of the Ministry of War, asked.

Since the news of Lu Guang's death came, Zhou Cheng hastily appointed a new Secretary of the Ministry of War. This person is an official from Jiangnan and was recommended by He Zhongping.He Zhongping and this Han Xianzhi have been friends for many years, so of course they have to help out if they have this opportunity.

He Zhongping lowered his voice: "Your Majesty wants to give Ozu Island to Dongwa in exchange for Dongwa sending troops to deal with Su Yuan."

"Ah, this..."

Han Xianzhi was a little speechless. He is from Haizhou, so he naturally knows about Ozu Island.Local people in Haizhou call Ozu Island "Treasure Island".If such a good place was given to Dongwo, wouldn't it be a waste of money.

And Zhou Cheng can give it if he says it?If Haizhou Zhoumu disagrees with this matter, there must be a lot of resistance to doing it.

"You'd better not say anything more." He Zhongping warned, "Your Majesty is angry now, and all he can think about is how to fight back to Jiangbei. If you annoy Your Majesty, I can't stop you from being punished."

"The lower official understands, thank you Mr. He for your suggestion."

"You, I don't need to be so polite. The officialdom is dangerous, and you and I are in the same boat, so naturally we have to help each other. And compared with that Su Yuan, your majesty is still good... Do you know that a few days ago, the "Sky Street" in the capital Bone' thing?"

Hearing the words, Han Xianzhi shivered all over his body: "Naturally, the news has spread all over the Jiangnan officialdom. It is said that many officials were so frightened that they woke up in the middle of the night and had nightmares for several days! Then Su Yuan... really hates us so much?"

He Zhongping breathed out, and said: "I don't know what that Su Yuan thinks. But it is a fact that he treats me and other court officials with brutal and appalling methods. For this reason, no matter how absurd Your Majesty is, I can also We can only assist with all our strength, otherwise we will fall into Su Yuan's hands, and we will have no choice but to die!"
