Chapter 182: The Military Commanders Inside and Outside
In the early morning of October 18th, the first year of Qing Xuantong, the Qinghuang Uprising broke out.
On that day, the Qinghuang Rebellion ended with Qingzhu and Jiang Yao crushing the rebellion. More than a hundred established noble families were executed and their homes confiscated.
When the news of the failure of the Qinghuang Uprising spread, the morale of the rebels everywhere suddenly collapsed.
In just three days, hundreds of thousands of rebels composed of elite private soldiers were defeated by the Qing Army and casual cultivators.
From the central to the local level, the diehards' massive rebellion was suppressed.
Immediately, Prime Minister Jun issued an edict, which shocked the entire Qing Clan.
The order says:
"He alone adheres to the way of heaven, assists the monarch, assists yin and yang, implements unprecedented reforms, resolves the stubborn diseases of Daqing, looks up to the sun and moon, bows to the people's hearts, and uses the bright light to help the world, this is what a young master is."
"The Analects of Confucius says: Those who can do the five things in the world are benevolent..."
"Therefore, the saints think deeply about the world and value nothing more than the living of the people... We who practice Taoism seek longevity and strengthen our bodies, and we practice wonderful principles on the spiritual stage. If we are not human, how can we achieve this..."
"I only show mercy to my relatives, and extend it to tens of thousands of people, to help the people in times of crisis, and to alleviate the poverty of the people... I, the young nobles and martial arts practitioners, can all receive relief... Each county has a department, and it should be used for public purposes, and it should be distributed properly, so as not to worry about being few.
Uneven…”
"I hope that thousands of Taoist friends will serve as the eyes and ears of the imperial court, inspecting the public affairs and private affairs of the government. But if there are those who enrich their own pockets, there will be a great law to deal with them..."
This order is truly the only one in eternity, and most casual cultivators cannot believe it.
The newly appointed prime minister of the imperial court said that everyone will distribute spiritual jade!
Is this true?
But soon, various counties issued notices, and the prime minister wanted to allocate resources in Xiaoyu's local area.
Not only will spiritual jade be distributed according to cultivation level, but cave materials will also be distributed soon to improve everyone’s cave living problems!
The warriors with the lowest level of cultivation at the early stage can all receive two hundred yuan, which is enough to practice to the middle stage.
Loose cultivators who do not have a cave to live in will live in a cave.
After the news was confirmed, the entire Qing clan was in a state of excitement.
Millions of casual practitioners rushed to tell each other, cheering and cheering, it was really a long drought and good rain.
Prime Minister Jiang's reputation and merits were laid the foundation of a monument overnight.
In the land of Thirteen Counties, there are countless monks from poor families who talk about Prime Minister Jiang with great enthusiasm. They look up to the mountains and yearn for him.
Everyone talks about Prime Minister Jiang, but no one knows about Mr. Zhong Dagong.
In a rural area outside Baihe City, a young man wearing patched real clothes rushed into the courtyard of his house, which was built with ordinary bricks.
This young man is already in his early thirties, but he is still a middle-level warrior.
"Dad! Mom!"
The young man entered the room happily and looked at a middle-aged man and woman who were perfect warriors and said happily:
"The county governor's office in the city has issued a decree from the Prime Minister, saying that resources will be distributed to us, and everyone will have a share!"
"My parents are both perfect warriors. They can receive 2,400 pieces of spiritual jade, which can be used to break through the Martial Lord!"
"Even my son can receive four hundred yuan, which is enough to train him to the late warrior stage."
"Also, the Prime Minister also ordered the distribution of real stones so that casual cultivators who do not have a cave can live in a cave. From now on, our family will no longer have to live in an ordinary house!"
The young man cried with joy and was extremely excited.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Idiot! Is this what you have to say? My father already knows! My son, after wasting more than ten years in the middle warrior period, I can finally make a breakthrough with the resources."
The middle-aged woman shed tears and said: "This is all the kindness of Prime Minister Jiang, so that our family can enjoy all the hardships. I pity your sister, for a few resources, she went to the Zhenji Tower in the city to sell herself, but she was killed by an evil cultivator."
"It would have been great if there had been Prime Minister Jiang at that time. Your sister would not have died in such a humiliating way."
The middle-aged man also looked sad and said:
"Yes, if there had been Prime Minister Jiang at that time, she would not have died. Alas, let's not mention this. What Prime Minister Jiang did was a thorn in the side of other martial arts clans. He had a huge stake in doing this for us.
There is a way to survive by doing some repairs."
"I hope Prime Minister Jiang can live a long and successful life. I hope this imperial government can continue to exist and carry out reforms."
Suddenly an old voice came from outside the courtyard:
"Hmph, in less than a year, the allied forces of warlords will definitely invade. Prime Minister Jiang, the court, and the reform will be in danger! By then, those of us who have finally gained hope will have no way to survive again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pale-faced old man with perfect martial arts walked in with a solemn expression.
This old man must be thousands of years old, and his beard and hair are all white. At this age, the martial master is perfect, but he actually has no other options.
Because time is running out and there is no hope of a breakthrough.
"Third uncle, you can always get tens of thousands of spiritual jade. You have been stuck in the Wuzong consummation for so many years. Now that you have the resources, you can definitely break through the Wuzong. By then, you can extend your life by hundreds of years."
The middle-aged man said.
The third uncle waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "That's not what I care about now. I have second-class qualifications. As long as the Prime Minister's resources are allocated, I can break through the Wuzong with just a glass of wine."
"What I'm worried about is what will happen to the prime minister and what will happen to the court!"
"Le Clan is a first-class powerful vassal, and it is only a hundred thousand miles away from me. Let alone Le Clan, let's talk about the surrounding Jin Clan and Lu Clan, they are all established second-class forces. How can they stop!"
"At that time, it will be a situation where multiple coalition forces will fight together. Alas, by doing this, the Prime Minister is really putting his own safety at risk. I'm afraid the Prime Minister's fate... is unbearable to describe."
The young man said sternly: "Then let's risk our lives and stand up together to defend the prime minister and the court! This is the Qing Clan's own business. If other martial clans dare to interfere with the Qing Clan's family affairs, they will never come back!"
The old man shook his head and said: "How can it be that easy? We casual cultivators all stand up, but after all, we don't understand military formations and have no armor. How can we resist the military domain?"
"As long as the Music Clan sends out two Martial Immortals and a few Martial Gods, the Qing Clan can be overcome without any need to send out an army!"
When the three of them heard this, they all remained silent and looked worried.
"It is said that although the Prime Minister is still a young man, he has a great background and is blessed with good fortune. He is a peerless genius. Whatever we can think of, the Prime Minister must have thought of it. I hope the Prime Minister has countermeasures."
"The only thing we can do is to obey the orders of the Prime Minister and the court."
Such discussions can be found everywhere in the Thirteen Counties.
In just a few days, the hearts and minds of seven to eight million poor cultivators returned to the newly established imperial government and to Prime Minister Jiang, who was less than thirty years old!
At the same time, a very small number of people also hate ginger medicine so much that they wish they could extract their souls and refine their bones.
………
After the Green Phoenix Incident, Jiang Yao's wish level skyrocketed like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain.
Ten thousand… twenty thousand… fifty thousand… one hundred thousand!
After issuing an order to allocate resources, his willpower yielded more than 30,000 yuan in one day!
In less than five days, Jiang Yao’s will power had accumulated to one hundred thousand!
And it continues to increase.
Jiang Yao estimated that he could gain at least hundreds of thousands of wishes from this wave of operations brought about by the New Deal.
But in the future, there won’t be such a large amount of income. As the New Deal deepens, the willingness will increase, but it won’t increase so dramatically.
As the wish power value increased sharply, it seemed that Jiang Yao's wish power skill was easily upgraded again.
The Buddhist mantra finally completed the second secret mantra: the evil-suppressing mantra!
This spell can suppress evil spirits and heretics, and its power is like a wake-up call. Although Jiang Yao has practiced this wishing spell, he has no idea how powerful it is.
At the same time, the Saha Finger and the Great Compassion Seal have also been cultivated to the fourth level, and their power is even more powerful.
The Confucian great magical power "The world returns to benevolence" also successfully entered the second level.
Jiang Yao's will power has reached a higher level than before. Even with just his will power, he can compete with martial arts masters.
In other words, his willpower cultivation is much stronger than his martial arts cultivation!
When it comes to combat power, he and Ah Jiu together are enough to deal with a Wuzhen Perfection!
No one could have imagined that the true strength of a perfect Martial Master could be so terrifying.
After practicing various techniques, Jiang Yao went to Jun's Mansion to meet Master Qing as planned.
"My lord, now that the rebellion has been put down, the internal obstacles to the reform have been removed. However, the surrounding warlords will definitely raise unjust divisions and join forces to attack me. Does my lord have any countermeasures?"
Jiang Yao said straight to the point.
Jiang Yao distributed billions of spiritual jade to the majority of casual cultivators, and Master Qing had no objection at all.
Of course, this is not because Qingzhu is merciful, but because he is deeply poisoned.
He thought Jiang Yao's decision was right and he should do it.
Jiang Yao is a unique and extremely loyal minister.
In my heart, you are the most loyal.
The only loyalty.
That's about it.
But in the eyes of others, it was him who agreed to Jiang Yao's request. Others could not tell that he was controlled by a high-level poison like Xin Shui.
It all looks normal.
In fact, except for his unreasonable trust in Jiang Yao, he was as sober and normal as usual in other aspects.
When Qingzhu heard Jiang Yao's words, he said something that made Jiang Yao crazy but also helpless.
"I believe that the Prime Minister will take measures. As the Prime Minister is here, I don't need to worry."
Well, now that I have reached this point of trust, I not only believe that Jiang Yao is right, but also that it is omnipotent.
Jiang Yao also knew that this reform was originally for him to control Qingzhuqian, and it was not Qingzhu's original intention. How could Qingzhu have any way to deal with the aftermath?
He can only rely on himself to deal with the aftermath.
"My lord, I want to meet Lord Zhuang Xian, who has perfected his martial arts skills, and I would like to ask my lord to introduce him to you." Jiang Yao could only come up with a plan.
Of course Qingzhu will not refuse.
Soon, Jiang Yao met Zhuang Xian in a quiet cave in a king's mansion.
"Jiang Yao, I have met Lord Immortal!"
Jiang Yaochang bowed his head and saluted.
A being like the Martial Immortal is second only to the Martial Saint. But Jiang Yao's cultivation is getting stronger and stronger, and his soul power is also very powerful, so he doesn't feel much fear when facing a Martial Immortal.
His demeanor and behavior are relatively natural and generous.
This made Zhuang Xian have to look at it differently.
Hey, this young man's Taoist charm is so mellow, as if it were made by nature. It seems that not only does he have excellent qualifications, but he must also have a great opportunity.
If such a genius can grow smoothly, his future will be limitless.
With just one glance, Zhuang Xian discovered many differences in Jiang Yao, and he felt a little more favorable towards the young and talented Prime Minister Jiang.
"My little friend, do you have anything important to do here?" Zhuang Xian stroked his beard and smiled.
Anyone who is familiar with Zhuang Xian would never imagine that he would be so polite to a young man with martial arts cultivation.
Jiang Yao took out a piece of Taiyinyou lotus root and offered it respectfully: "Master Zhuang Xian, please take a look at this."
Zhuang Xian looked at this section of Taiyin Lotus Root, and the look of astonishment that hadn't appeared in countless years appeared on his face again.
"This, this is Taiyin Nether Lotus Root!"
Even Zhuang Xian, who has been practicing martial arts for hundreds of years and is nearly four thousand years old, was a little excited when he saw this object.
He has the qualifications of Level A. If he can improve his qualifications, he will soon be able to break through to the Martial Saint level!
If there is anything in the world that a martial immortal such as him desires, then the extinct Taiyin Youlian is definitely one of them.
…
Not long after, Jiang Yao came out of the cave where Zhuang Xian was staying with a relaxed look on his face.
Although he gave away another piece of precious Taiyin Lotus Root, he was very happy.
So worth it.
As for what agreement he and Zhuang Xian reached, it is unknown to outsiders.
The uneasy courtiers and officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion were relieved to see the Prime Minister's calm and relaxed expression after returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The next day, Master Qing issued an order according to the official positions in the "Guan Dian" formulated by Jiang Yao.
The prime minister and Taifu Jiang Yao were appointed as envoys to hold the festival, and the hussar generals were sent to the Shangzhu Kingdom to supervise all internal and external military affairs.
From then on, Jiang Yao began to truly take control of the Qing clan's government!
