"Mm, the forty-nine Blood Shark Guards are all top-notch warriors, and one of them is a Xiantian expert. They have absolute command, and when they kill the enemy, they can gather their strength into a rope. Like a hemp rope, they can gather the greatest strength! Martial arts experts use the military's training methods to gather their will and physical strength, and they can display ten times the power compared to ordinary experts.
Look at the Whale Splitting Death Warriors over there. These are the true guards of a Xiantian expert. In comparison, although the six people by my side, Mu The Younger, Tie Zhu, Sunchaser, Lélie, Hills, and Wen Feiyan, are all powerful, they are like a plate of loose sand. They all have their own strong ideas, and they act alone. If they engage in a chaotic battle, they won't be able to display their true strength. "
On the enormous training grounds of the navy, Hong Yi wore his sword and armor, looking like a man of steel as he walked to and fro, observing the soldiers under his command as they practiced. From time to time, he would walk down and personally instruct the soldiers.
Practicing with the soldiers, training them, and gathering them together was the only way to train soldiers. A commander who did not mingle with his soldiers would definitely not be able to truly command his soldiers as if they were his own arms.
Hong Yi was familiar with the art of war and was naturally very clear on this point. Some commanders would even eat and sleep with their subordinates while training their soldiers.
Originally, Hong Yi was still young. Suddenly assuming the important position of general, commanding five battalions of two thousand and five hundred people, hundreds of ships, and managing the coastal defense line of a hundred li, he felt that it was a little hard to accept.
But these days, Hong Yi had personally gone on the field to train his soldiers, even performing in front of these soldiers. He held the Ironwood Blackbone Divine Bow and shot fifty arrows in a row, his face not flushed, nor was he out of breath. He lifted the three to four hundred jin stone weights on the training grounds and spun them around, at the same time casually kicking a few commanders who were highly skilled in martial arts to the ground.
He didn't need to use any words at all. Just this series of demonstrations of martial arts, displaying the strength of a Xiantian expert, immediately intimidated the experts in the army into submission.
In the army, the strong were respected. A commander with high martial arts skills not only had a cohesive force, but also had the effect of suppressing and pacifying the hearts of people.
In particular, when the thousands of soldiers under his command heard that Hong Yi had practiced martial arts in the sea yesterday, killed a White Spotted Sea Centipede, saw it with their own eyes, and even had a meal of snake meat soup, all of them admired Hong Yi to the extreme.
The White-Spotted Sea Lion was the overlord of the sea. It didn't even care about a group of sharks, and it often swam ashore to devour humans and livestock. The patrolling soldiers in this area of the sea often had their boats capsized, and a few of them were swallowed, causing panic among the soldiers. However, they were easily killed by Hong Yi while he was training.
Moreover, Hong Yi had a group of subordinates from the Green Battalion. After the battle on the Giant Whale Island to suppress the bandits, they were now dead set on Hong Yi.
This group of people joined the army of over a thousand, showing off their armor, Xuangang sabers, top-notch bows and arrows, and a series of equipment worth hundreds of gold coins. They talked about the various benefits of Hong Yi, causing the other two thousand soldiers in the four battalions to become jealous.
However, Hong Yi didn't skimp on the soldiers' pay. Instead, he gave out large amounts of money. His generous and benevolent reputation spread throughout the army, causing the soldiers under his command to be completely convinced and look forward to him.
In the short span of three days, after several training sessions, it seemed that Hong Yi was gradually rallying the hearts of the soldiers.
Although they were still far from being true elites and battle-hardened generals, Hong Yi was gradually starting to look like a commander. However, Hong Yi gradually had the appearance of a commander. He also had quite a bit of prestige in the army. He was not like those nobles who, despite being strong in martial arts and rich, had many subordinates who were unconvinced.
"Although Hong Yi is young, he has a way of training soldiers. In a short span of three days, he's actually rallied the hearts of the people, and knows how to use both kindness and authority. I wonder how he's doing with my Soul Assimilation Art? Could it be that he hasn't practiced it at all? Why is he still so lively? "
Mister Duan watched coldly from afar as Hong Yi trained his soldiers on the square.
While Mister Duan was paying attention to Hong Yi, Hong Yi was also calculating Mister Duan's forces.
Yan Zhen had mobilized forty-nine Blood Shark Guards, as well as Great Mister Duan and the Shattering Whale Death Warriors. He said that they were there to protect him, fearing that Wei Taicang's men would come looking for trouble, but in reality, it was also a kind of surveillance.
The forty-nine Blood Shark Guards were all top-notch Martial Masters, with a Xiantian Martial Master as their commander. This was already a force that couldn't be underestimated. Furthermore, there were nine Whale Splitting Death Warriors that were truly at the Xiantian Realm. Just these nine Whale Splitting Death Warriors were a terrifying force. Although Hong Yi had more powerful experts under him, whether it was Chi Zhuiyang, Lélie, or Hills, they all had extremely strong independent characteristics and wouldn't cooperate with each other.
As for these nine Whale Splitting Death Warriors, they had obviously cooperated with each other countless times. The nine of them even moved as one, attacking and defending each other. If they were to really fight, the nine Whale Splitting Death Warriors might not lose to the six experts under Hong Yi!
The most important thing for experts was cooperation. This was also the difference between ordinary martial artists and true experts in the army.
Experts who could cooperate with each other and didn't have independent personalities needed to be nurtured from a young age and couldn't be recruited at the last minute. Currently, Hong Yi didn't have the capital or the savings. It wasn't easy for him to rely on all kinds of luck and methods to nurture his current forces. It was far from enough to go against the true big families and the Grand Marshal's forces.
Although the lives and deaths of experts like Lélie, Hills, and Wen Feiyan were in his hands, they weren't very reliable. The truly reliable ones needed to be nurtured from a young age or even a few generations of servants.
His foundation was still very weak.
He had to be careful.
Hong Yi felt Mister Duan's gaze from afar and looked over. The two of them collided in the air for a moment before retracting their gazes.
…
Jade Capital.
In the middle of Zhengyang Street, where all the Wang Ye, dukes, and noble families gathered, there was a deep alley. There was a red lacquered door and a stone qilin. One look and one could tell that this was a standard Prince's Mansion.
But this Wang Mansion, when people passed by Zhengyang Street and saw the gate of the Wang Mansion behind the deep alleys, everyone would have an unfathomable feeling, as if there was another immeasurable world behind the gate of the Wang Mansion.
Because this was Prince Hefei's Mansion.
In the Imperial Court, he was the most shrewd and unfathomable Prince. He was also the strongest contender for the throne.
"The three boxes of gifts given to the Champion Marquis were returned untouched? There wasn't even a letter? "
Prince Hefei wore a pure gold crown adorned with a few large pearls. His face was slightly yellow, but it wasn't the kind of yellow that came from being emaciated. Instead, it seemed to be plated with a thin layer of gold.
He was extremely young, only in his twenties. However, he wore a python robe and a pure gold crown, making him look very dignified. However, his face was slightly round. When he smiled, it was like a spring breeze, but it was also amiable.
It was faintly rumored in the bureaucracy that Prince Hefei's appearance was the standard appearance of a "benevolent monarch."
At this time, Prince Hefei was sitting high on the throne, looking at the three boxes of gifts in the hall.
These three boxes were opened one by one. Inside was a silver sharkskin saber inlaid with many gems and inscriptions on it. It was gorgeous without losing its simplicity. One look and one could tell that it was a divine weapon.
In addition, there was a white bow that seemed to be made of human bones and had black threads wrapped around it.
There were also a few neatly folded kasayas that flickered with a dark gold brilliance.
In addition, there were jewels, jade artifacts, longswords, and so on. They were all glowing with a treasure aura. Even people who didn't know what was good would know at a glance that they were priceless treasures.
"The Champion Marquis has such a bad temper! He returned the things that Wang Ye sent, but he didn't even reply? He really is a brat who is still wet behind the ears. "
A eunuch beside Prince Hefei bowed and said in a cold voice.
"He is the number one Champion Marquis in the army and has dominated the foreign lands for hundreds of thousands of miles." Prince Hefei shook his head. "In the past dynasties, the Champion Marquis would only confer the title of young general to reward them for their bravery and vigor. In the sixty years of our dynasty, he has only been conferred this title. Although he is young, not even seventeen, he has killed countless people and his martial arts are unfathomable. He is definitely not a brat who is still wet behind the ears. He returned these things because he doesn't want to participate in the fight for the throne. He has his own army at the border. No matter who ascends the throne, they will have to rely on him to guard the border. "
"Wang Ye is right. Although the Champion Marquis is young, it is not easy to win him over. Instead of wasting time on him, it is better to think of ways to win over Shenwei Wang Ye. "
Right at this moment, a handsome and elegant scholar with a jade flute in his hand, dressed in scholarly clothes, and a jade colored belt around his waist walked in.
"Mr Zhou, did you see Miss Su Mu at Flower Scattering Brothel today? You can't forget her and talked about poetry with her, but you can't invite her. "Prince Hefei looked at the scholar who walked in and said with a smile.
This scholar was one of the three masters of Jade Capital, Mr Zhou! But holding a jade flute and looking elegant and elegant, anyone would think that he was a talented and elegant scholar. No one would have thought that he was the number one strategist of Prince Hefei's Residence, an unfathomable expert.
"This Su Mu has a special identity. Even Wang Ye can't invite her, how can I see her?" Mr Zhou played with the jade flute. "Ever since Su Mu made her debut, I heard that she secretly met Marquis Wu Wen and Hong Xuanji. The other princes, dukes, and ministers didn't give her any face."
"Marquis Wu Wen is still so dissolute, entangled with women. Even the Sect Leader of Yaochi school, Yao Qinghui, had a period of fate with him." Prince Hefei opened his eyelids and a golden light flashed. "Unfortunately, he is the Crown Prince's man. Otherwise, with his support, it would be easy for me to take the throne. I heard that Fourth Brother has recently contacted the Commander of the Pacification Navy, Yan Zhen? It seems that Fourth Brother also knows that with soldiers in hand, reason can't be explained. "
"Yan Zhen is nothing? Head and tail! There is no great talent or strategy! His Majesty has been reluctant to confer him the title of Marquis. If he was useful, he would have been conferred the title of Jinghai long ago. Compared to the Champion Marquis, Yan Zhen is just a small fry, not worth mentioning. "
Mr Zhou smiled naturally. "With soldiers in hand, reason can't be explained. Wang Ye can see clearly that those who have soldiers in hand, the first is Shen Wei Wang Ye, and the second is the Champion Marquis. However, although Hong Xuanji doesn't have soldiers in hand, his prestige in the military is very high, and he can control the situation. However, Your Highness, you're wrong. Hong Xuanji isn't the Crown Prince's man. He's the Emperor's man. He's a Confucian scholar who wants to be a saint and a loyal subject. Why would he listen to the Crown Prince? On the surface, he is the Crown Prince's man, but without him, the Crown Prince would have made his move long ago. "
"Of course I understand that. No one can rope Hong Xuanji in," Jiang Chen said with a smile. Prince Hefei said, "Shen Wei King is my Imperial Uncle. No matter who ascends the throne, his position will be stable, and he will never get involved in this mess. I can't do anything about him. Right now, only the Champion Marquis can rope him in. Although he has returned these three boxes of gifts, when Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue are brought to me, I will send them to him as gifts! Let's see if he accepts it! "
