"System: War Authority System.
Host: Wang Cheng.
[Authority: Level 0]
[Upgrade Requirement: Possess a building that belongs to you.]
[Powers: 2000 Ming Dynasty cavalry, 3000 infantry.]
[Shop (Level 0): 20,000 points, 60,000,000 silver taels.]”
The system was simple and clear at a glance, but there was a 'question mark' at the end of each line to explain it, allowing Wang Cheng to thoroughly understand his system.
Wang Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of passion. A smile appeared on his face, and his hands trembled slightly. This was really amazing…
However, Wang Cheng still firmly suppressed the excitement in his heart, but his heart was beating rapidly like a drum.
"Plop, plop."
According to the system's description, as long as Wang Cheng occupied the land according to the administrative classification of the Ming Province, he would receive a reward of 10,000 to 1,000,000 points, or even a lottery draw.
This was only the reward for the first occupation. If it was a permanent occupation, the corresponding points would increase by ten times.
The larger the territory he occupied, the higher Wang Cheng's authority level would be, and the more complex the system abilities unlocked would be.
For example, they were only soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp now. After they leveled up, they could buy those famous soldiers in history.
The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, the elite soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Yulin Royal Guards, the White Robe Army, the Black Armor Army, the Yue Clan Army, and so on…
Seeing this, excitement flashed across Wang Cheng's eyes. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"Hiss-"
His scalp tensed up, and the blood in his entire body instantly boiled. The introduction of the military type played in his mind like a slide show. For a moment, his blood surged, and his entire face flushed red. The veins on his neck popped out, and his mind was filled with the boldness of a golden horse. His eyes were filled with splendor.
And this was only the tip of the iceberg of the system.
After a long time.
Wang Cheng's eyes moved, and he woke up from the fantasy in his mind. He let out a long breath and calmed down.
"Now, I'm just missing a territory. I'm just missing a territory to upgrade the system to level one. I'll unlock the options for armaments and soldiers and start exploding them.”
Wang Chengshuang's eyes flashed as he made up his mind.
At this moment, a small flag ran over and reported,"
"Reporting to the Great General, someone from the Imperial Palace has summoned the Great General into the palace for an audience!”
"Humph, the wicked are the first to complain."
Wang Cheng's eyes flashed, and a cold smile appeared on his face. He didn't need to think to know that it must be those high-ranking officials who had reported him to Chongzhen.
Fortunately, Wang Cheng had already made preparations. The 1,000 taels worth of goods were prepared by Wang Cheng for Chongzhen.
Immediately, Wang Cheng did not want to delay any longer. He directly waved at his subordinates around him.
"Carry them and follow me into the palace!"
"Yes."
Hundreds of soldiers from the capital camp immediately began to pack up the one thousand taels of silver. They then loaded the silver into a large cart and followed Wang Cheng into the palace.
……
At this moment, the Palace of Heavenly Purity was filled with a dense mass of dignitaries and ministers. There were at least hundreds of people. The atmosphere in the hall was somber. Everyone was waiting for Wang Cheng's arrival.
Even Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt uneasy. His mouth was dry, but in order to maintain the dignity of the emperor, he still forced himself to hold on. At the same time, his mind was filled with thoughts.
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded from outside the door.
"Jinwu Great General Wang Cheng has arrived!"
Amidst the clashing sounds of armor and leaves, Wang Cheng walked into the Palace of Heavenly Purity with great strides. He walked straight to the front of the Chongzhen Palace and bowed.
"This subject, Great General Wang Cheng of Jinwu pays his respects to Your Majesty. I can't be polite in my armor. I hope Your Majesty can atone for my sins.”
"My dear minister, you have worked hard for the country. Quickly get up!"
Chong Zhen looked at Wang Cheng, who was dressed in military uniform, and a trace of peace flashed across his eyes. He smiled and helped Wang Cheng up. When he saw the fatigue on Wang Cheng's face, he felt his heart heat up.
At this moment, the white-bearded loyal and brave uncle suddenly stepped out and knelt on the ground, crying,"Your Majesty, Wang Cheng is lawless and deceives the emperor. Your Majesty, please seek justice for me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hundreds of ministers in the hall knelt down in unison.
"Your Majesty, please seek justice for us!"
Each of them had a face full of grief and indignation. They gritted their teeth and looked at Wang Cheng, wishing they could spit on his flesh.
However, Wang Cheng stood at the head of the generals on the right with an indifferent expression. He glanced at the kneeling crowd and a hint of mockery flashed in the depths of his eyes.
A look of anger flashed across Chong Zhen's eyes, and his face darkened. He clenched his hands together, and boundless anger rose in his heart. These useless things were simply roasting him on fire.
"Don't you see how important Wang Cheng is to Great Ming?”
Chong Zhen wished he could roar at these people.
Originally, Chongzhen was prepared to be a peacemaker and resolve the matter between Wang Cheng and the ministers, but now that he had been messed up by Zhong Yong Bo, there was no room for negotiation.
However, before Chong Zhen could speak, Wang Cheng stepped forward and reported,"
"Your Majesty, yesterday, I was ordered to inspect the capital and investigate ninety-seven families of Li Zicheng's traitors. I obtained a total of ten million taels of silver and am now presenting it to Your Majesty outside the main hall.”
"What?"
Chong Zhen was stunned for a moment before he suddenly stood up from the dragon throne. His eyes were red as he roared,"How much?"
"Ten million taels."
A series of gasps sounded in the hall."Hiss-"
All the ministers widened their eyes and looked at Wang Cheng in disbelief.
Especially those nobles who were kneeling on the ground, their eyes went black and they almost fell to the ground in fear. Cold sweat instantly broke out from their bodies.
When Chong Zhen heard this number, his mind immediately turned white. His entire person felt as if the world was spinning. His eyes turned black, and he could not even hear anything. He muttered to himself,
"Ten million taels? Ten million taels. Ten million taels!"
As he finished speaking, Chong Zhen let out a roar. As the world spun, he collapsed on the dragon throne, his heart beating as loudly as a war drum.
He had never heard of so much money ever since he became the emperor. Every day, he had to scrimp and save to find a way to use the money he saved on the northern bandits and rebels.
But now, Wang Cheng had actually confiscated more than ten million taels of silver. This, this made him feel like a fool, foolishly performing a shadow play.
At the thought of this, Chong Zhen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his entire face darkened. He slapped the handle of the dragon throne and stood up, roaring,
"Bastard!"
His originally pale face was now somewhat distorted.
Everyone except Wang Cheng fell to his knees and shouted,""Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Calm down?
Chong Zhen was so angry that he laughed. How could he calm down now? His breathing became heavier and heavier.
"Bring him in, bring him in."
In the next second, with a series of heavy footsteps, dozens of heavy boxes were carried in by Wang Cheng's men. They stopped on the ground with a thud, and the weight made everyone's eyelids twitch.
On the other hand, the hearts of Courage and the rest who were kneeling on the ground sank to the bottom of the valley, and their pupils constricted.
Wang Cheng looked at them and sneered. He suddenly pulled open a box. The white silver immediately entered everyone's eyes, like a flash of white light.
"Gulp."
Greed flashed in the depths of everyone's eyes. Their hearts were burning, their mouths were dry, and they kept swallowing their saliva. However, when they saw that Chong Zhen was about to go berserk, everyone shrank their necks and fear flashed in their eyes.
At this moment, Wang Cheng went forward and bowed to Chongzhen. He said bluntly,
"Your Majesty, for your atonement, we obtained a total of 10,170,000 taels of silver from the looting yesterday. Of this, 170,000 taels of silver will be used as rewards for the soldiers in battle other than for recruiting soldiers.”
"No worries."
Chong Zhen replied coldly. Then, he looked at Wang Cheng and said,""Beloved minister, you did well!"
Chong Zhen's eyes were filled with gratitude. There was no harm in not comparing.
Compared to the group of ministers kneeling on the ground, Chongzhen did not care where the 170,000 taels of silver went.
The current Chongzhen only wanted to kill.
"Rest with the country? Haha. What a good way to rest with the country. A few days ago, I looked for you to give me money, but in the end, you didn't even give me 400,000 taels. Haha, so you're treating me like a fool!”
Chong Zhen's cold and merciless words were like a cold wind hanging on the back of everyone's neck, causing their pupils to shrink and sweat profusely.
However, no one dared to say anything. Even the group of ministers who had their houses confiscated hated Wang Cheng to the core at this moment. They knew that the amount of silver was wrong, but they did not dare to say anything more. They could only grit their teeth and swallow it.
In fact, they were even glad that Wang Cheng did not take out all the silver. Otherwise, not only would they have to die, but their nine clans might also have to die.
Therefore, they could only snatch the heads from the ground with all their might.
"I know my sins!"
"This old subject is guilty."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
“……”
A cold light flashed in Chong Zhen's eyes. His face was as dark as a dark cloud. His hands hidden in his dragon robe were trembling. Cold killing intent accumulated in Chong Zhen's heart.
At this moment, a panicked voice came from outside the hall.""Report, report."
The next second, a small Embroidered Uniform Guard with a flag on his back rushed in and reported,"
"A scout has reported that the rebel Li Zicheng's army is approaching the capital. The army stretches for fifty li, and the rebels have come out in full force.”
As soon as he said this, the hall instantly fell silent. Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'small flag.
When Wang Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up and his breathing stopped. It was time to upgrade his system privileges…
Sure enough, in the next second, Wang Cheng heard Chongzhen's urgent voice calling out to him,
"Great General…"
