With Lu Yu's help, Lin Tao, and Hua Wuhen paving the way, Ying Tianlong's ultimate skill and divine might shocked everyone, and the dozen or so battle-hardened Great Song Guards from the Right Camp were convinced.
Ying Tianlong felt extremely emotional when he saw the dozen or so burly men kneeling before him. Once upon a time, he had become a baby and traveled through time and space to the stormy Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, he was just a carefree, doted on and liked child. However, all these earth-shattering changes had happened so quickly. Who had pushed him to a position that everyone admired? What should he do if he occupied this position? How could he make so many people listen to his orders? How could they kill the Tartars and return the beautiful land to the people of Huaxia?
Ying Tianlong had been thinking about these questions non-stop. He had also been asking himself and his aunt. Fortunately, Ying Tianlong had to meet Wu Yongyong, the good sister who had the title of the daughter of a ghost.
Today, he saw a dozen men from the Great Song's Right Battalion suddenly kneel before him, and their representative, Deputy General Zhou, spoke on behalf of everyone else about their willingness to pledge allegiance. This made Ying Tianlong understand a lot. As long as you worked for the people, as long as you thought for the people, as long as you had extraordinary abilities, as long as you were righteous and generous, then you would definitely be supported by others.
The reason why the Great Song was where it was today was because the emperor was greedy for comfort and appointed treacherous officials, while the ministers did not care about the people for their own benefit. The Song Dynasty must perish, and the reason lies in it.
Thinking of this, Ying Tianlong made a gesture of lifting everyone up with his hands and said,"Big brothers, I, Ying Tianlong, have received your kindness today. I am willing to fight against the Tartars with everyone.”After that, Ying Tianlong went up to a higher place and waved his arm as he continued,"I, Ying Tianlong, am willing to shed my blood and fight with you on the battlefield to get rid of the Tartars and return the beautiful land of China.”
"Riding on the battlefield, driving out the Tartars, returning our land.”As soon as Ying Tianlong finished speaking, a group of people shouted loudly under Lu Yu's lead.
At this moment, a voice came from afar.""The imperial edict has arrived."
The imperial edict is here. Who is this imperial edict for? Why is it here? Ying Tianlong and the others were stunned by this sudden decree.
Following the shout, two tall horses quickly ran over from the foot of the mountain. The people sitting on the horses were not eunuchs from the palace, but two black-robed guards from Yingtian Manor. When the horse was still a few feet away from Ying Tianlong and the others, the black-robed guard jumped off his horse and ran to Ying Tianlong."Young Lord, the person who passed the imperial edict asked Young Lord to return to the residence to receive it.”
"Isn't it just a lousy imperial edict? Is there a need for you to be so nervous? What did the person who delivered the decree say?" Ying Tianlong said indifferently.
"The eunuch who passed the decree said that the young master could return to the residence to receive the decree. He also said that the young master should meet the emperor according to the decree.”The black-robed guard panted as he replied.
"What eunuch? Isn't he just a rotten eunuch? What did you say?"
"Everything in the residence is handled by the Eldest Young Miss. The Eldest Young Miss said to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict: My young master has gone on a journey. I don't know when he will be back. After my young master returns to the residence, he will immediately enter the capital to meet the emperor.”
"Isn't that enough? I know about this. You can go back. By the way, when you go back, tell everyone that you haven't found me, understand?”
"Understood, but Young Master, this is an imperial edict from the Emperor. If Young Master delays, if the Emperor punishes him…"
"If he dares, I'll treat him as the emperor. If you make me unhappy, I will drag this stupid and incompetent bullsh * t emperor out of the Royal Court and throw him into the streets to be a beggar. All of you, remember this. In the future, no matter if it's the ministers of the court, the officials of the various prefectures, or even the current Emperor, no one can think of pointing fingers in front of us. Kill. Do you remember?"
The moment Ying Tianlong said the word "kill", the surrounding air dropped significantly, causing the surrounding people to involuntarily shudder.
"Got it." Lin Tao, Lu Yu, Hua Wuhen, and a few dozen other men in black shouted in unison. Even the dozen or so large deserters followed suit.
After the excited shouts subsided, Ying Tianlong walked up to Deputy General Zhou and said," Deputy General Zhou, from today onwards, you will be the General of Breaking Abduction. After you rest and gather the fleeing soldiers of the Great Song's Right Camp, you will lead your brothers and station them here. After the soldiers are gathered, my Big Brother Lin will be the instructor, and Third Brother Hua will be the commander of the army. We will establish our first Tiger Army.”
"I accept your orders." After Deputy General Zhou heard Ying Tianlong's first order, he immediately cupped his hands in joy.
Seeing Deputy General Zhou agree so readily, Ying Tianlong said,""General Zhou, please arrange for our brothers to do their work. Come over later and we will discuss some matters together.”
After Ying Tianlong finished speaking, he called Lin Tao, Lu Yu, Hua Wuhen, Wu Yongyong, and the others over and said,"My three brothers and sister Wu, since we happened to encounter this matter today, and there are so many seasoned veterans who have been through many battles joining us, why don't we take this opportunity to discuss some matters?”
"Alright, now that the rules are set, many things will be easier to do. Otherwise, he would be like a headless fly every day, and he would not know what to do.”Lu Yu continued.
"That's right, fourth brother, just say what you think. There's no need for formalities between us brothers.”Lin Tao continued.
"Alright, big brothers. That day, big sister Wu has already made an incisive analysis for the three big brothers. In the past few days, I have consulted and learned a lot from big sister Wu. I have also told big sister Wu my thoughts and received big sister Wu's guidance.”Just as Ying Tianlong said this, he was interrupted by Wu Yongyong. Wu Yongyong said,"Three big brothers, don't listen to Brother Bao's nonsense. Actually, Brother Bao already had a very big plan. I only gave some suggestions on some details.”
"Hehehe, Little Sister Wu, Fourth Brother, the two of you don't have to do that with each other. Let's get down to business.”Lu Yu teased.
" Well, my three brothers, if there's anything wrong with what I said later or if you have any better suggestions, please enlighten me after I'm done." After the opening remarks, Ying Tianlong sat up straight and put away the chilling killing intent from before. It was replaced with a threatening heroic spirit and shocking dominance.
"To gallop on the battlefield and drive out the Tartars, we must first have soldiers, and they must be elite troops with strong generals. Recruiting soldiers and buying horses could be done over time, but turning these people into tigers and wolves that could bravely kill the enemy was not an easy task. Therefore, I would like to invite big brother to be the chief instructor of our three armies. Now, big brother will start looking for people to build an instructor camp to prepare for everything in the future. I wonder if Big Brother-" Ying Tianlong arranged the first task and then looked at Lin Tao.
"Fourth brother, no matter how difficult it is, big brother will agree to this. Two years, give me two years and I will train an invincible army.”Lin Tao said firmly.
"Big brother, one isn't enough. Facing the millions of fierce Tark cavalry, we need at least eight to ten groups of tigers and wolves.”Wu Yongyong interrupted.
"That's right. We have to be fully prepared against the fierce and valiant Mongolian cavaliers. Therefore, I would like to invite Third Brother to be the general commander of the three armies, and Sister Wu to be the military advisor. You will study and establish a special battle camp with various characteristics, as well as arrange and formulate all matters such as marching and fighting. In the future, according to the heroes we recruit from all over the world, how about we select and replenish them?”Ying Tianlong arranged for the second matter.
"Ling, such a heavy burden? Alright, Third Brother, I'll take it. Sister Wu, I hope you can help me in the future.”Hua Wuhen hesitated for a moment, then firmly accepted this important task.
"Yes, it's like this. When formulating various battle plans, Military Advisor Wen will be the main one. During a war, the commander and the general in charge of the army would be the main ones. The situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and it was not suitable for Wen Junshi to personally enter the battle.”Ying Tianlong added.
"Fourth Brother, don't tell me you won't arrange something for me to do?”Lu Yu asked anxiously when he saw that Ying Tianlong had arranged important things for his big brother and third brother to do, and even Wu Yongyong, this girl, had given him the title of Military Advisor.
"Ha, how could I forget about Second Brother? Second Brother, let me ask you, what is the most important thing in this war?”Ying Tianlong didn't tell him what he wanted Lu Yu to do. Instead, he asked him a question.
"The three armies have not moved their rations yet. Naturally, rations are the most important in marching and fighting. What? Fourth Brother, you won't let Second Brother take care of the provisions, right?”After Lu Yu answered Ying Tianlong's question, he immediately understood Ying Tianlong's intentions and hurriedly asked.
"What if it is?"
" Then, then…" Lu Yu didn't reject him directly, but from his expression, one could tell that he was very dissatisfied with Ying Tianlong's arrangement.
"Second brother, have you underestimated this matter?" Ying Tianlong asked when he saw Lu Yu stop talking.
"I didn't underestimate you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that food was the most important thing. It's just that I'm only in charge of food and can't go into battle to kill the enemy.”
"As the chief instructor, Big Brother is basically training the soldiers in the rear. The chances of him going into battle to kill the enemy are even less than Second Brother, but why doesn't Big Brother have any objections?”
"Although Big Brother can't go into battle to kill the enemy, his disciples and trained soldiers can kill the enemy for Big Brother.”Lu Yu quibbled.
"Hahaha, Second Brother only saw the first part and didn't think of the second and third parts. In the future, if we have thousands of troops, how much will these cost? We need to purchase, store, and transport. Without Second Brother's meticulous care, it's feasible. We still need to buy horses, weapons, and even make some tools ourselves. In the future, if we establish our own group, all the gold, silver, and money will not be managed by Second Brother. The internal affairs are complicated and trivial. We can only be at ease if Second Brother manages this matter. Second brother, we can't let what happened to the Great Song's Right Battalion happen to us.”Ying Tianlong said earnestly to Lu Yu.
These words seemed to have enlightened Lu Yu. After he heard Ying Tianlong's words, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said,"Fourth brother, second brother was too short-sighted just now. Fourth brother, big brother, third brother, I'm definitely going to do this job.”
"Hahaha, Second Brother doesn't mind the bad job that Fourth Brother gave you?”Hua Wu Hen said teasingly when he heard Lu Yu's words.
"Go to hell, hahahaha."
"Two years. Second brother, big brother just said that if he was given two years, he would be able to bring out a ferocious army. How about we give Second Brother two years to build hundreds of cannons and dozens of warships according to the red cannons drawn by Elder Wu?”Ying Tianlong added fuel to the fire.
"This? Ah, I understand. Don't worry, Fourth Brother. However, I have a condition.”
"Second Brother, say it. If you want money, give it to me. Besides, I want to hand over the dozens of people in Moli Valley to Second Brother so that he can train them into business and intelligence experts. I wonder if Second Brother dares to accept it.”
"Haha, everyone says that Fourth Brother is a bug in our stomachs. It seems that it's true. Second brother had the same intention: one year as an apprentice, two years to open a shop, three years to get back our silver, otherwise just relying on fourth brother's property is enough for us to struggle for a few years.”Lu Yu said.
"Hahaha, fourth brother, you've arranged your second brother in place this time. By the way, Second Brother, I suggest that you form an internal guard battalion. Firstly, it will be responsible for the care and escort of all your belongings. Secondly, it will also be a preparation for the protection of our headquarters in the future. Do you think it's okay? If you really do, how about I volunteer to be your instructor? Hahahaha." Lin Tao said generously.
"Big brother, you won't be able to avoid it even if you want to. Haha, looks like I'm really busy this time. Ling, I'm telling you, if I'm tired, you have to massage my waist and back.”
"Hehehe, when Second Brother marries Second Sister-in-law, I'm afraid that even if I wanted to come, someone wouldn't let me come.”Ying Tianlong giggled, returning himself to the ranks of a child.
After which, Ying Tianlong's expression turned serious as he said,""Second brother, you should be prepared. In five days, there might be a million taels of silver delivered to you. This is our first income. Second Brother must take good care of it.”
"What? One million taels of silver? Ling, where did this silver come from?”Lu Yu asked in surprise.
"Hehe, this silver was extorted by your fourth brother.”Wu Yongyong continued. Then, she told how she met Ying Tianlong in the Baogong Temple, how she stopped the Jia and Gao yamen from blaspheming the sages, how Ying Tianlong sent the black-clothed guards to kill all the evil slaves of the Jia and Gao families, and finally how Ying Tianlong kidnapped the two yamen and demanded a ransom of one million taels.
Lin Tao, Lu Yu, and Hua Wuhen grumbled when they heard this. They had every reason to blame their fourth brother, Ying Tianlong. Originally, the four of them were sworn brothers, but when it was time for a real fight, he enjoyed it alone. After Ying Tianlong promised that he would definitely go with his three brothers in the future, the three of them finally let him go.
After that, the three of them were really happy about the one million taels of silver that they were about to get. Lu Yu had already begun to plan how to spend this silver.
Wu Yongyong saw Lu Yu snickering at the side while calculating and said,""Second Brother Lu, I think you shouldn't calculate it first. It won't be too late to calculate it after we've finished this big circle and Brother Bao has explained everything to you.”
However, Lu Yu said,"I'd better figure out this one million taels of silver first, lest Fourth Brother doesn't give me any money in the future and I'll be hard-pressed."”
"Hahaha, Second Brother, don't be so stingy. What's a million taels? Let's not talk about the money Second Brother will earn in the future, but we still have many places to get money.”Ying Tianlong looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"What? Ling, where are you going to get the silver from?”Lu Yu asked after hearing Ying Tianlong's words.
"Hee hee, I have a big plan to get the silver, but this time, I really need big brother, second brother, and third brother to do it together.”
"Don't keep me in suspense.”
"Well, it's like this. My master trained a group of experts who specialize in finding silver. They wrote down most of the rich and heartless families in Jiangnan, and even those who got rich by extortion and robbery. We just need to visit them one by one and teach them, and collect some tuition fees. How is it, brothers? This is interesting, right?”
It was unknown how Lin Tao and the other two answered Ying Tianlong, but let's watch the next exciting segment.
