Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

The Eastern Dynasty has always been a relatively mysterious existence to the overseas Western countries.

It wasn't until recent years, with the increase of transoceanic trade, that many Westerners actually set foot on the land of the East, that layer of mystery slowly faded away.

After fading, some people who have seen the real face will definitely feel disappointed.

Who told them that the ancient oriental country in their imagination was a place full of gold?

But even if there is no gold everywhere, some oriental specialties still make a lot of money for businessmen who dare to open up.

With the inflow of goods from the East, the people of the West have learned more and more about the ancient East.

These understandings reached their peak within this year, and this is directly related to the rise of Suyuan in Bei'an.

When Su Yuan first rebelled, Xiguo didn't pay attention.It wasn't until he reached the foot of the capital that reports gradually came out, saying that there was a rebellion in the Eastern Empire, and the situation was not optimistic.

The newspapers seem to portray Su Yuan as a villain who will repay kindness with revenge, which is naturally the instruction of those big businessmen.

These big businessmen are earning a lot of money and certainly don't want the status quo to be broken, so they control the newspaper and smear Su Yuan in various ways.

After the Bei'an army took down the capital, the newspapers were full of curses, and they also felt sad for the ancient eastern country.And it stirs up the emotions of the people, paving the way for future military intervention.

That's why the Xifeng Kingdom sent the third fleet to the East China Sea, and cooperated with the Southern Zhou court with the intention of destroying the Bei'an Army.

But to the surprise of the entire Western world, the third fleet of Xifeng Kingdom was completely wiped out in the East China Sea.

Not only the warships were taken away, but all the soldiers on board were also captured.

This incident caused great waves in Xiguo at that time. Many people protested and marched, questioning the government's action of sending troops.The relatives of those sailors and soldiers even united and sued the government, demanding that they must rescue them.

Xifeng Kingdom has worked hard for this, but it never expected that the Bei'an government had no intention of exchanging interests with them.

They directly dealt with all the sailors and soldiers who violated them in accordance with local laws.

Some were beheaded directly, some were imprisoned, and some were sent to exile in a place of bitter cold... Even the envoys sent there at that time were arrested for "sedition".

While embarrassing Xifeng Kingdom, it also completely angered them and publicly declared war with Bei'an Army.

Xifeng Kingdom is the most powerful country in the overseas Western countries. As soon as the news of the declaration of war came out, the people of all Western countries became very interested in the Bei'an Army and Su Yuan.

In order to sell more newspapers, the newspaper has basically reported something about the Bei'an Army every two issues since then.

Every newspaper claims that there are reporters in the ancient eastern country to inquire about news, but in fact most of the news is hearsay, and if they can't find it, they simply start to make up their own.

For the sake of sales, several small newspapers directly opened up a separate page in their own newspapers, and published news about the Bei'an regime separately.

These constant streams of news have been pulling the attention of the people of the West Country.

Up to now, the Bei'an Army has truly unified the whole country, and after Su Yuan became the new emperor, the newspapers and periodicals also ushered in an explosion.

People in the West bought newspapers one after another to read, among which the best-selling one was [Great World News].

This is the largest independent newspaper in the Saxon country. Its main reports are what happened around the world, and it is published in all major western countries.

The reason why this one is the best seller is that it has photos of Su Yuan printed on it.

It was sent back after Benjamin filmed it. After receiving it, the Great World News was overjoyed and chose to publish it regardless of the government's ban on Benjamin's ban.

Sure enough, this newspaper with photos sold hundreds of thousands of copies a day in Saxon alone!
People wanted to see with their own eyes what this extremely young Eastern Emperor looked like.

And when they saw the picturesque and domineering Su Yuan in the photo, they were all startled, as if they could feel the imperial arrogance through the photo.

Coupled with the fact that the three major decrees issued by the Dong'an Kingdom also had a certain degree of enthusiasm, discussions about Su Yuan took place in several Western countries.

Some Western poets, writers, and philosophers, whether they really admire Su Yuan or just want to gain popularity, have published works praising Su Yuan.

Even in Xifeng Kingdom, which is hostile to Su Yuan, there are people who "commit crimes against the wind".A well-known Xifeng female writer publicly stated that Su Yuan was the "Oriental Lover" she had dreamed of in her childhood, and that her next book would write a lingering emotional story between a Western female writer and an Eastern emperor.

This behavior naturally arouses dissatisfaction and criticism from many people, but there are also supporters.

A frenzy and chaos was staged in many western countries, but Su Yuan, who was in the capital, didn't know much about all this, and didn't care.

His main energy now is still in Dong'an, the country has just been established, and there are many things to do.

This is different from the previous Bei'an regime. At that time, the Bei'an regime only needed to maintain local stability and continue to fight.

Now, there will be wars after wars, but there will be a lot more paperwork.

In the meeting hall, Su Yuan, Lu Wuyou, Xun Yu, Zhou Shu and others gathered here.

Su Yuan was still wearing the Xuanfu, but the crown had already been taken off, it was too uncomfortable to wear.

He said: "Everyone, besides the three major decrees, there are many new policies to be implemented. Let me mention one first, the capital should also be renamed."

Everyone nodded. After all, the capital was still called Da Zhou. Now that Da Zhou has disappeared, it should be renamed.

"Your Majesty, do you have any thoughts?" Lu Wuyou asked respectfully.

After the enthronement ceremony, everyone called Su Yuan "Your Majesty".But the full title is not "His Majesty the Emperor", but "His Majesty the Holy One".

Su Yuan thought for a while, and said: "It doesn't need to be too much trouble. I think the word 'Jing' can be kept. This place is also near the sea, so why not just call it 'Jinghai'."

"Jinghai...Your Majesty is a good name." Lu Wuyou immediately agreed, and the others naturally had no objections.

After deciding on a new name, Xun Yu suggested: "Your Majesty, it is a great joy for you to visit the Great Treasure. Do you want to extend the grace of the saints and pardon the world?"

"Amnesty to the world... Well, yes." Su Yuan nodded, "but only for minor crimes, such as small amount of theft. Serious crimes such as injury, insult, and fraud cannot be pardoned."

"I understand."

"Your Majesty." Zhou Shu also said, "You told me a few days ago that a holiday will be set up after enthronement. Do you still want to implement it?"

A few days ago, Su Yuan chatted with Zhou Shu and mentioned that he would set a holiday after he ascended the throne.

Zhou Shu was worried that Su Yuan would forget, so he reminded him.

Su Yuan smiled and nodded when he heard the words: "Of course it must be implemented! This holiday is celebrated by the whole country and is called 'Dong'an National Day'. There are seven public holidays within the holiday. If you have to work, you will be given three times the salary compensation."

"Seven-day public holiday... This is not short. According to the officials, maybe three days is enough." Lu Wuyou said a little startled.

No wonder he said that, there was no such thing as public holidays in the previous Great Zhou.Except for the dignitaries, everyone else has to work every day.

This is true for errands, and it is still the same for farmers.Even if the farmers can plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn, because of harsh taxes, they have to do part-time work to make a living after planting, and there is no rest day at all.

"Seven days is not too much. Worry-free, besides work, people still need to rest more, so that they can be more creative."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Renaming of the capital, amnesty for the whole country, National Day holidays... A series of subdivided decrees were issued in the midst of everyone's discussion.

When the high sun hangs at noon, a total of more than a dozen subdivided decrees were discussed and finalized.

In the end, what everyone discussed was the battle.

When it comes to this matter, Su Yuan's attitude is also very serious.

"I think you all know that the Thirteen-Nation Alliance led by Xifeng Kingdom will probably send coalition troops here in the near future. The only thing we have to do is to completely defeat and crush them."

Qi Jiguang was also present at this time, upon hearing the words, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am ready! As long as the coalition fleet dares to enter the East China Sea, I will definitely let them come and go!"

"It's just the beginning." Su Yuan looked around at the crowd, "Our purpose is far more than that. Everyone knows that besides this land, there are many people who are suffering in other lands. And we need to help them, free them."

Everyone nodded. They had known for a long time that Su Yuan's ambition was far beyond unifying this land.What he wants is the whole world.

This point is Lu Wuyou who can understand Su Yuan best. The two discussed this matter as early as in Beifeng City.It should be noted that at that time, the Bei'an Army only had one Beifeng City.

Therefore, Lu Wuyou has been thinking about this matter for a long time.As early as when he conquered the capital, he was thinking about how to carry out the grand plan of world unification after the unification of the whole country.

"Your Majesty." He said, "If you want to conquer the world, you must first take all the small countries in the surrounding sea areas into your pocket, or accept them as vassal states."

"Well, that's what I mean too."

Su Yuan looked up at the huge map stuck on the wall.

At present, it seems that around the territory of Dong'an, the Rong tribe in the north has long been defeated and subdued.As far as the north of the Rong tribe is concerned, there is a permafrost and ice field that is extremely cold all year round.

He knows that there must be a country behind the ice sheet, but with the current level of technology, it is not easy and unnecessary to cross the ice sheet.This natural barrier is a kind of protection for both sides.

In the south of the territory, the South Vietnamese forces were also defeated by the Bei'an Army, and the head of the leader Hu Peng was beheaded by Zhao Yun and brought back.

However, there seem to be several small islands in the south of Nanyue, and the small Wenlai country on them is not to be feared.

As for the east and west sides, the biggest threat to the east, Dongwa, has long surrendered and become a subsidiary country.Xiali, who is sandwiched between Dongwa and Dongan, is not worth mentioning.On the west side, to the west of Qinzhou is a vast desert, and there may be traces of small countries in it.To the west of Shuzhou is a strange country called "Poison Zhu".

Su Yuandao: "Next, we only have two goals."

"One is to be ready to deal with the incoming coalition forces of the thirteen countries at any time. As General Qi said, let them come and go."

"The second is to clean up the forces around the territory. Needless to say, Xia Li, Wen Lai and Du Zhu... investigate these two regimes thoroughly."

"After the integration of the surrounding areas is completed, the next step is to let those bastards with eyes higher than the sky in the overseas western countries experience the feeling of others tossing at their door."
