Intelligence: Weak
Military Tactics: Unique
Army:
Black Armored Soldiers: 6780/70000 (50 Kill Points can be exchanged for one Black Armored Soldier, with complete matching weapons and equipment.
Note: Black Armored Soldiers are in excess, to compensate for the owner's losses, recruiting soldiers requires a 25-point reduction in Kill Points. You can recruit soldiers who are the same in martial arts skills, except they do not have the complete matching weapons and equipment of the Black Armored Cavalry.
The owner can also choose to add 20 additional Kill Points and continue recruiting excess Black Armored Soldiers.)
Kill Points: 425000
Evaluation: Except for your brain, you are a war god. ]
“Recruiting Black Armored Soldiers requires an additional 20 Kill Points?” Jia Yu’s not-so-bright head pondered for a moment.
“They don’t have Black Armored equipment, but soldiers with the same combat strength are also useful. Anyway, I’m following the emperor, and he can’t not give them weapons and equipment!”
Jia Yu couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of the emperor supporting his troops: “Anyway, he doesn’t know these soldiers are loyal to me.”
“System, how many ordinary soldiers can I recruit after completing the Black Armored Cavalry?”
【Completing the Black Armored Cavalry costs 6000 Kill Points. You have 419000 Kill Points remaining, and you can recruit 16760 soldiers.】
Jia Yu’s head spun at the sight of the numbers.
“Make it an even number, just recruit 16000. Keep the remaining Kill Points for me.”
【16000 Jiangnan soldiers have sworn allegiance to you.】
Jia Yu now had 16,000 loyal and devoted infantry at his command.
“Now, I’m also a general commanding 23,000 troops.”
Jia Yu grinned triumphantly. These soldiers were all the elite of the elite.
With enough armor, they could immediately become heavy infantry or heavy cavalry.
“Finally, I can get some decent sleep.”
Xia Shou Zhong heard the snoring and turned to see Jia Yu asleep, leaning against a pillar, directly on the ground.
Before coming, he had been worried that Jia Yu might compete with him for control of the Jiangnan Army.
Military power was crucial.
It was the same for both the emperor and Jia Yu. The army represented all authority.
He had made numerous preparations, all aimed at achieving a satisfactory outcome without direct conflict with Jia Yu.
But after arriving at the camp, he found that Jia Yu, who was supposed to prioritize control of the Jiangnan Army, had done nothing of the sort.
Instead, he had his subordinates take control of the troops to prevent any major disturbance.
When he received the troops, they immediately handed over everyone without a word.
Even the weapons, equipment, and supplies in the camp were detailed in a list, allowing him to better take over the army.
Xia Shou Zhong was astonished.
In his decades of navigating the treacherous waters of court politics, he had never encountered someone like this.
Even the most honest people would try to secure some benefits for themselves or their subordinates in these matters.
But Jia Yu had shattered his understanding.
Now, seeing Jia Yu sleeping soundly and unguarded nearby, it confirmed his thoughts.
Jia Yu did not view them as enemies.
“Just as Little Willow said, he’s pure.”
Even Xia Shou Zhong couldn’t help but sigh with admiration.
The autumn night was chilly, and even with iron armor and blankets, it wasn’t enough.
Xia Shou Zhong ordered his men to build a bonfire in the middle of the tent. The fire shouldn’t be too close but not too far either, maintaining a warm atmosphere throughout the tent.
Xia Shou Zhong then immersed himself in the intense and hectic work ahead.
The battle outside Donghua Gate was over, but for the various families and factions within the Imperial City, this was just the beginning of the war.
All civil officials in Beijing with a rank of 6th grade or above were summoned to the Huangji Hall.
These officials entered the palace and saw Black Armored soldiers everywhere, emanating a strong stench of blood.
They could also see traces of flesh and blood splattered on their armor.
It evoked a sense of unease within them.
When they arrived at the Huangji Hall, the emperor was still seated high on the throne.
A young man with disheveled hair, held down by several individuals, knelt on the ground.
A piece of white cloth was stuffed into his mouth.
Those with sharp eyes could recognize that the kneeling young man was none other than the Eighth Prince, King Wu, whom they thought would seize the throne.
The fact that King Wu knelt on the ground meant that the 100,000-strong Jiangnan army he led had suffered defeat.
This filled both the martial arts and civil officials with disbelief.
They knew.
The only thing the emperor could rely on was Jia Yu, who had excelled in the defense of the Imperial City.
He was reportedly granted the position of commander of the Three Thousand Camp.
With an estimated 3000 troops under his command.
Jia Yu had defeated the 100,000-strong Jiangnan army with just 3000 soldiers?
Before seeing the emperor, most believed it was impossible.
Only a few who were close to Donghua Gate received intelligence from their spies.
King Wu had lost at Donghua Gate.
Looking at the shocked officials and martial arts experts, Emperor Li Jun felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
“King Wu Li Feng led 100,000 troops to attack Donghua Gate, ignoring my orders and refusing to retreat, with the intent of rebellion.
According to the law, he should be executed immediately.
I’ve considered his efforts during the siege of Beijing, his loyalty to the throne, and his mobilization of supplies. Therefore, I have decided to spare his life.
He can escape death, but not punishment. His title of King Wu is revoked, and he will be confined to the Zongren Temple for life. What say you, my loyal subjects?”
The emperor looked calmly at his ministers below. After all that had happened.
The emperor believed that any schemes or tricks were ultimately based on brute force. He no longer placed as much importance on these martial arts and civil officials as he did before he ascended the throne.
Now, he only cared about consolidating military power and strengthening himself.
No one could change what he intended to do.
He didn’t care what these martial arts and civil officials thought.
The hall was silent.
King Wu was the most beloved son of the Supreme Emperor.
And the Supreme Emperor was still alive.
“My loyal subjects, why is there no opposition? Then, so be it...”
“Report!”
A sharp voice rang out, and an elderly eunuch with white hair walked into the hall: “By the decree of the Supreme Emperor, King Wu Li Feng led his troops to Donghua Gate by the Supreme Emperor’s orders, not with the intention of rebelling against the throne. King Wu is currently mentally impaired and will be sent to the Longshou Palace for recuperation. His title of King Wu is revoked.
Zhang Qing, Commander of the Jiangnan Army, defied the throne, instigating war, and deserves to be executed with his entire family.”
“Jia Yu, Commander of the Three Thousand Camp, is a valiant warrior and has inherited the spirit of his ancestors in leading troops.
Now, Xuanfu has suffered a crushing defeat, and the capital is under siege, requiring a capable general to defend the nation and command the army.
Therefore, Jia Yu is appointed as the Military Governor of the Beijing Garrison.
This decree.”
Dai Quan, the Supreme Emperor’s personal eunuch, finished reading the decree and looked respectfully at the emperor.
The current emperor was no longer the Fourth Prince Li Jun, but Emperor Qianyuan of Da Zhou.
The officials in the hall dared not breathe.
The Supreme Emperor had used the Beijing Garrison as a bargaining chip to save King Wu’s life.
Just as the emperor was about to speak with a furrowed brow, a small eunuch hurried over to him and whispered a few words.
The emperor’s face brightened, and he readily agreed: “Agreed.”
