King Liu Kai said that the Chinese people have a shortcoming, that is, they like to fight among themselves. At the same time, they are extremely immature. They either regard foreigners as barbarians or are afraid of their power.
On this point, Zhang Yi was right. He said in court that he should make friends with all the nations of the world on an equal footing, defeat the barbarian nations, protect the weak nations, and become the founder and leader of the civilized world.
"So, everyone, don't think that it is the honor of the adopted son that I give up to the adopted son. That's wrong!" King Liu Kai said with a smile, "Actually, this is my honor. I also admire the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties and the guests from all over the world.
, but I can’t do it anymore, Yi’er can lead you to achieve this great cause!”
Everyone was filled with emotion. The king had a lofty vision and a unique vision. He had identified Zhang Yi early and then made a series of operations. At that time, everyone was still in the dark and couldn't figure out why the king sent a hundred thousand troops to invite him.
Zhang Yi is alone!
Many years later, this has become a good story and a legend.
Princess Xiaoliu was unwilling to listen to her father's arrangements at first, but after she disguised herself to meet Zhang Yi, she fell in love with him unknowingly. In fact, this was also what her father expected.
After all, the king is still wise.
So, how could he not have thought of Wu Rui's rebellion and Liu Guang's rebellion? But this drama has to go on, and he cannot be punished until everyone reveals their ambitions. At the same time, this is also the ultimate test for Zhang Yi.
"Right now, if we unite with Little China and contain Greater China, we are lucky if the two countries don't send troops behind our backs." King Liu Kai said, "Take this opportunity, Yier, you must seize the time to quell the rebellions in various places and raise a large army.
Rush to the north to stabilize the situation."
"I understand, father." Zhang Yi nodded vigorously.
"Father, we still have time. Please stop working so hard and rest peacefully." Xiaoliu said earnestly. At this time, she only cared about her father's health.
"I've said everything that needs to be said, hahaha," King Liu Kai took a long breath and said, "Liu'er, go to the imperial kitchen and bring a bowl of hot porridge to my father."
"Okay, my daughter will go now!"
When his father was about to eat, Xiao Liu was so happy that he got up and ran away like a gust of wind. In the past, the waiters served tea and meals, but Xiao Liu wanted to serve his father personally.
King Liu Kai looked at the figure of his beloved daughter and watched her leave. His eyes were full of his father's love and deep reluctance.
After a moment, he came back to his senses, grabbed Zhang Yi's hand and warned.
"Yi'er, I'm not going to die soon. After my death, you have to keep it a secret and bury me at Guanyin Tower in the middle of the night..."
Zhang Yi was shocked and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
The five brothers also knelt on the ground with a plop, feeling indescribable grief.
"And you, you are the brothers of Yier in life and death. I trust each and every one of you. You must not expose the news. In the future, just follow Yier to do great things. Remember, brothers work together to make a difference!"
King Liu Kai explained to everyone again.
The brothers swore an oath one after another, asking the king to rest assured.
King Liu Kai smiled and nodded, asking everyone to get up so that Xiao Liu would not be sad again.
Soon, Xiaoliu brought hot porridge, Zhang Yi was holding it, and Xiaoliu fed his father with a spoon.
This scene made everyone's noses sore.
…
That afternoon, General Wang Zheng led 20,000 troops south to perform the mission.
Not counting the 3,000 imperial troops who defended the palace, the main force currently under Zhang Yi's control was 40,000 wolf cavalry and 8,000 Mopan City warriors.
The military situation was urgent and Zhang Yi did not dare to delay. He summoned all the major families to the palace and recounted yesterday's war situation, which won warm applause.
No one expected that the king could actually ride a horse to talk to the enemy's coach and make the enemy retreat with just a few words. His majesty is still as strong as before!
Zhang Yi said that the king's health is getting better day by day, which is a blessing to the country. The king will continue to recuperate and leave everything to him. Zhang Yi hopes that the family heads will give strong support and work together to revitalize the kingdom, stabilize the northern border and unify China as soon as possible.
.
The family heads expressed their support one after another. These people knew that if the kingdom could be promoted to an empire, the founding fathers would naturally gain both fame and fortune.
The atmosphere became heated, and Zhang Yi took the opportunity to propose military expansion. He wanted to form an army of 200,000 as soon as possible. The equipment and training should be completed within three months.
"This costs a lot of money!"
"We don't have that many weapons and horses!"
"Can we have fewer people, Mr. Chief Assistant?"
"The difficulty can be solved. Our Zhang family can produce 50,000 strong men!"
"It's not appropriate for one family to be the only one. Our Wang family can still produce 100,000 strong men!"
"Ha, do you think the Liu family is just a freeloader?"
The family bosses were noisy. From the beginning they were reluctant to send more people, to the end they were scrambling to send more people. The thinking of this group of people was really strange.
At this time, Princess Xiaoliu was holding King Liu Kai's hand. The father and daughter were walking and talking in the garden and turned in to take a look.
The family heads hurriedly stood up to salute, and they all praised the king for his extraordinary achievements yesterday, and the king looked better and better. Some people expressed their loyalty to the king, and they were willing to go out to fully support the chief minister.
King Liu Kai smiled, thanked and encouraged the family leader, and said that he could just ask Zhang Shoufu to handle the specific matters. He wanted to put everything down and rest in peace.
After that, King Liu Kai took his beloved daughter and left with a smile.
Zhang Yi felt pain in his heart and his eyes were hazy. He knew very well that this was not a drop-in at all, but his father's intention. This should be the last time his father appeared in public. After arranging the generals, he
Make an explanation to the family heads.
Seeing King Liu Kai's feet fluttering, Zhang Yi knew that his strength was about to run out, like a candle in the wind, tenaciously blooming its last light.
On this seemingly ordinary day, King Liu Kai completed the final explanation. Everyone knew that the power of the kingdom was firmly in Zhang Yi's hands.
"Lord Chief Assistant?"
Seeing Zhang Yi staring at the door in a daze, someone whispered.
Only then did Zhang Yi come to his senses. He made the decision that each of the nine major families would send 20,000 strong men, and the small families would send a total of 20,000 strong men to form an army of 200,000. This was the most fair and reasonable way.
The Wu family rebelled and were removed from the top ten families, and their land and property were confiscated. However, the Wu family who did not participate in the rebellion would still be allocated land and enjoy normal national treatment.
At the same time, the Ministry of Industry will build a large number of factories, and the agricultural society will make great strides in transforming into an industrial society. Zhang Yi hopes that family heads will expand the pattern and encourage family members to participate in the construction.
"In a few years, our country will be rich and our army strong, our strength will far exceed that of other countries, and we will become the most powerful nation in the world!"
The family leaders couldn't sit still and stood up to applaud vigorously. Zhang Yi ignited their passion and dreams.
