The real main force in the Qingming Realm is currently training on how to adapt to the sudden increase in combat power, and how to deal with the weakness after the disappearance of all living beings.
In order for the training to be effective, Wei Yuan would activate Momentary Beings several times a day as long as he was in the realm, lasting three breaths at a time. Fortunately, the activation time was very short and the scope was deliberately narrowed, so the consumption was acceptable.
In addition, these eight thousand people are still training how to use steel pipe muskets. However, the number of muskets is limited, and only more than a thousand have been made so far, which is completely insufficient. Everyone in Taichu Palace is racking their brains to think of how to make more
Musket.
Wei Yuan originally planned to rob two more mines of the Xu family, and then the iron and copper materials he robbed were enough, but it was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Xu Xinhui.
The arrival of Xu Xinhui also alerted Wei Yuan. It seemed that the Xu family could no longer sit still and was about to make big moves.
Hanyang Pass.
As soon as the sky cleared up, Admiral Xu Zhongxing and his deputy Fan Donghe led the officials of the Admiral's Mansion, all dressed up, and surrounded by thousands of sergeants, they came down to the Feizhou Pier on the edge of the city to wait.
After waiting for half an hour, several giant flying boats appeared on the horizon. The hulls were painted dark green and decorated with red stripes, which was the symbol of the Western Jin Dynasty.
The airships landed one by one, and those from the first two airships were all imperial troops with green armor and red cloaks. They dispersed as soon as they got off the airships, and after guarding the main roads of the dock, the two giant ships in the air slowly landed.
Someone had already laid the carpet all the way to the side of the flying boat.
The cabin door slowly opened, and two court officials appeared at the door. These two men were both civilized and military, and both were extraordinary.
"Master Yue, please!"
"Master Chen, please go first!"
The two officials pushed me to give way, and then they stepped off the boat together and moved forward side by side.
Xu Zhongxing had already come up with dozens of officials and saluted, "See Sir Chen and Lord Yue. I have been waiting here for a long time."
The civil servant was a thin old man. When he saw Xu Zhongxing's profound salute, he extended his hand to help Xu Zhongxing. Xu Zhongxing stood up and showed off the rules of the officialdom. But when the clothes of the two parties touched, the corners of Xu Zhongxing's eyes twitched slightly.
Civil servant Xu Dao said: "This time the imperial court re-established the four counties of Ningxi, and I and Master Yue opened a mansion to guard them. Ningxi has been occupied for many years, and today it is returning to the imperial court. It is really a waste of time to be revitalized. This time, we have to rely on
General, please help me a lot."
Xu Zhongxing said: "This is an internal matter for lower-level officials. You two sirs, just give me your orders."
"First of all, we must first mobilize 50,000 elite troops from Hanyang Pass to escort the chief officials from various places to take up their posts. This matter is of great importance, and many generals will be dispatched to many elite troops and strong generals."
Xu Zhongxing's face twitched when he heard this. He only had tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Hanyang Pass, and he had taken away more than half of them in one go. However, he naturally knew better than anyone the boundaries outside the pass, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we will guard everything in the mansion."
You can choose your elite soldiers at will."
The civil servant nodded and said: "One more thing. The chief officials from all over the country came in a hurry, and many people did not have time to match the staff. Now we need to transfer 500 capable officials from you to accompany the officials to their posts. After the local stability,
Come back again.”
This matter was easy to handle, and Xu Zhongxing agreed wholeheartedly.
Seeing that he agreed readily, the civil servant nodded slightly and said, "I heard that your governor's mansion has not been very peaceful recently?"
Xu Zhongxing smiled bitterly and said: "Two real people from Taichu Palace have come and are causing trouble. The general will not be able to stop them."
"Which two real people?"
"Fen Hai and Lan Hua."
The old civil servant raised his long eyebrows slightly and said, "Tianqing Palace? That is really destined."
The military commander who had been silent until now opened his eyes slightly, with a cold light overflowing, and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed destined. Come, we will go and take a look with you."
Xu Zhongxing immediately led the way.
A moment later, a loud noise resounded throughout Hanyang Pass, and a fire shot into the sky from the garrison. The pillar of fire shot out to a height of tens of feet, and the entire city gate was shaken!
In the firelight, a streak of red and a streak of aqua blue light soared into the sky, shot into the distance, and suddenly disappeared.
After the fire dissipated, half of the garrison was reduced to nothing.
Xu Zhongxing and the civil and military officials walked out of the fire, looked at the direction in which the two rays of light escaped, and said bitterly: "The two old thieves escaped quickly! It's an advantage for them!" The military attache snorted and said: "This time I just want them to know that the imperial court is determined to regain Ningxi, and whoever dares to interfere will be struck with thunderous means!"
The civil servant smiled lightly and said: "Master Xu, there is no need to regret. It would not be that easy for the two of them to just leave like this."
Xu Zhongxing was moved in his heart, lowered his voice and asked: "Is it possible that the imperial court is determined to take action over there?"
The civil servant shook his head, "That's not the case. As long as the other side is willing to withdraw from Ningxi, everything will still be handled according to the previous regulations. Mr. Xu, I leave this matter to you, but you can't tell others."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I know what the official knows." Xu Zhongxing naturally knew what the civil official meant by this sentence.
One day later, the west gate of Hanyang Pass opened wide, and 20,000 troops marched out of the pass in groups, and then divided into dozens of large and small groups, surrounded by officials of all sizes, and marched to different areas.
Another day later, 30,000 elite soldiers left the customs and marched 1,500 miles westward. Chen arrived here and read out the imperial edict and issued an edict to heaven and earth. He then planted a boundary stone [Qingquan] to open the palace.
Chen Dao took office as the governor, and General Yue Jinshan, the Zhenbei general, came from the front line of northern Xinjiang and served as the admiral. The governor took office, announcing that the Western Jin Dynasty had officially recovered Ningxi and reestablished prefectures and counties.
Under the supervision of the governor, the governors of the four counties led dozens of officials, big and small, to take up their posts in various places. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of troops continued to march to Hanyang Pass, including many troops covered with cotton and iron armor, who were obviously transferred from northern Xinjiang. The border troops.
The realm of Qingming.
"Reset the four counties of Ningxi?" Wei Yuan, who was patrolling Yong'an City, heard the unexpected news.
After a while, everyone in Taichu Palace gathered at the main peak to discuss this sudden change.
This move of the Western Jin Dynasty was so sudden that no one received any news in advance. When they found out, Chen Dao had already planted the boundary stone and officially opened the mansion.
Wei Yuan stared at the map, frowning, and after a moment he drew a dot on the map. As the Lord of Qingming, Wei Yuan would also be aware if other boundary stones were activated nearby, so he found the Kaifu
The location. However, this is an open secret and will soon be known to the world.
Judging from the map, the location of Xinkai Mansion is about 3,500 miles away from Qingming. According to normal boundary stone standards, there may be room for another boundary stone in the middle. However, if Qingming reaches the final level and can cover thousands of miles, he will be able to
Completely covered with New Territories stone.
In fact, Wei Yuan had no choice when he first set up Qing Ming. Otherwise, in the long run, the location of the boundary stone should be pushed a few thousand miles further to the west. That place is 11,000 miles away from Hanyang Pass, which is just right.
After establishing Qingming, Wei Yuan and everyone in Taichu Palace had actually regarded the six thousand miles of Broken Territory as their own, and they would expand it to several thousand miles in each direction. However, the Western Jin Dynasty reset the four counties of Ningxi.
In fact, Qing Ming has also been included.
This matter was so big that everyone was rarely serious. Ji Liuli also put away his cynicism and thought seriously.
Zhang Sheng asked: "Didn't you have any warning about such a big event?"
Ji Liuli shook his head: "Emperor Tang and the Lords of the Nine Kingdoms are destined to inherit destiny, so they are not included in the calculation."
This was the first time Zhang Sheng heard about this, and he wondered: "It's just Emperor Tang, how can the Lord of the Nine Kingdoms inherit the destiny of heaven? Doesn't this mean that they are also the orthodox of heaven and earth like Emperor Tang?"
"That's why the Nine Kingdoms grew bigger and bigger, emptying the soup room. The founder didn't tell me the specific reason. It seems to be a very important secret."
Wei Yuan frowned and said, "This matter is too big, so we still have to report it to the palace and see what the true Lord says."
Zhang Sheng and Ji Liuli both nodded.
Wei Yuan added: "We still know nothing about this matter, so we have to find ways to get basic information, such as the candidates for governor and county governor, past experiences, how many troops will be sent this time, etc."
This is also a top priority. Everyone has more or less their own channels, so they are all thinking about who they should approach to get this information.
At this time, Wei Yuan said again: "But we can't sit still and wait for death! There are still a lot of masks. Please take one. Today we will first sweep all the mines, caravan camps, and villages and towns on the list, and then join forces.
In one place, take down Quliu Town!"
Cui Yu said: "What about the Xu family in Ningxi?"
"I will ask Xu Jingfeng to announce that Mingzhe will protect himself and keep everyone huddled in the Xu family's mansion. When we evacuate Quliu Town and everyone moves back, the land will be returned to them."
Wei Yuan stretched out his hand and drew a large circle hundreds of miles around Qingming on the map, and said: "In short, I will prevent them from finding a single village or collecting any supplies within this area!"
Cui Yu was a little shocked. Why did the words sound a little wrong?
