"Before you left, I said something.”
"If you expand your territory by a thousand miles, you will be conferred the title of Marquis. If you expand your territory by ten thousand miles, you will be conferred the title of Duke.”
At this moment, Ying Fei got off the throne and walked to Ma Chao. He smiled and said,"
"Today is the day to fulfill our promise.”
" Send an edict: General Ma Chao of Xi Liang is loyal to the emperor and loves his country. He has guarded the Yue family's old land for many years and has made outstanding contributions.”
"Today, we have conquered thousands of miles of land, conquered the foreign races for our country, and subdued millions of barbarians.”
"This is a reward of 10,000 households and a reward of 100,000 yuan.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Instantly.
Ma Chao couldn't contain the joy on his face and hurriedly accepted the order to thank him.
After Ying Fei changed the rank 20 system to the rank 12 system.
Ma Chao was the first person in the entire court to be conferred a title of nobility. How glorious was this!
"I know that most of the members of your Western Liang Army are from the Yue and Persians who are good at riding and shooting.”
"The Germanic and Slavic people are burly and big. They are definitely not suitable to become Western Liang's cavalry.”
"Two months ago, I ordered the five armies to recruit 50,000 Yebusi.”
"The Jebusites grew up in the mountains of Juda and are also skilled in riding and archery.”
Ying Fei continued.
He had different considerations for the trump card of the Western Liang Army.
The Xi Liang Army's primary target was not Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and the other rebel soldiers of the Central Plains, but the Great Xia and Kangju Kingdoms.
Central Asia's terrain was flat, and the climate was most suitable for nomadic people to survive. Therefore, both Great Xia and Kangju relied mainly on cavalry.
To deal with them, they had to form a corresponding cavalry legion.
Western Liang's cavalry was unparalleled in the world, and no one was more suitable to be the number one general of Donggui than Ma Chao.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Ma Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his entire body was filled with fighting spirit.
"Alright, there's no need to say anything before.”
"I only have one request, and that is to restore the combat effectiveness of the Western Liang Army as soon as possible.”
"You must be tired after such a long journey.”
"Men, escort the General of Western Liang to the Duke of Liang's estate." Ying Fei waved his hand and ordered.”
"Yes!"
Immediately after.
Ma Chao immediately left the Imperial City under the guidance of his attendant and moved into the Duke of Liang's Public House.
That night, the news that Ma Chao had been conferred the title of Duke spread throughout Chang 'an. All the civil and military officials and even the ordinary soldiers were in an uproar.
With a role model in front of them, they also wanted to know what kind of title they could be conferred.
......
The next morning.
"Great King."
"All the officials have arrived."
A servant hurried into the sleeping hall of Taiji Palace and reported.
"I understand."
Ying Fei nodded slightly and said indifferently,"Pass on the edict."”
"Have the officials and provincial governors head to the Imperial City Square.”
"Yes."
The chamberlain immediately nodded and left the bedroom.
" Pass down the imperial edict: All officials have moved to the square of the Imperial City. Today's court meeting will be held in the square.”
Immediately after, the sharp voice of the chamberlain resounded throughout the entire court hall.
What was that?
Hearing this, the officials of the six and five armies were stunned.
The provincial governors, generals, and others who had rushed over from all over the world were even more confused.
"Why is Your Majesty holding a court meeting in the square?”
The Minister of Rites, Gu Yong, had an extremely ugly expression.
As an official in charge of the court's etiquette, he had always been very concerned about things that violated etiquette.
Even though Yong Jun Ying Fei hadn't officially declared his kingdom as king yet, wouldn't he become a laughingstock if this court meeting was held in the square?
"This is the king's will."
The chamberlain shook his head and replied.
Instantly, the clamor in the side hall disappeared, and all the civil and military officials rushed to the square of the Imperial City.
It's four quarters in the morning.
Two rows of figures stood on the square of the Imperial City. On the left were civil officials, and on the right were generals.
A throne was placed in the middle.
"Ta Ta"
At some point in time, crisp footsteps could be heard from afar.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at each other. Ying Fei, who was wearing a black royal robe and the Duke Mu's Qin Suppressing Sword at his waist, arrived at the square.
He looked down and shouted,"
"You are all pillars of the Great Qin Empire, so you should be in charge of your respective territories.”
"But because of an imperial edict, he traveled thousands of miles from the border of the four states to Chang 'an.”
"I believe many people have already received the news.”
"The first thing is naturally to establish a kingdom and become king.”
"The second thing is to set up laws throughout the country and establish the foundation of the dynasty.”
"Hmm?"
Hearing this.
The eyes of all the officials present shone brightly, and their expressions were excited.
Ever since they had heard the news last night that General Ma Chao of Western Liang had been conferred the title of Duke of Liang, they could not hold it in any longer.
"Next, I want to announce a piece of news.”
"The spies from the East Chamber reported that in the seventh month of the first year of Qin II, a rebellion occurred in Daze Village of Sishui Prefecture.”
"The rebel army, Zhou Wen, broke through Hangu Pass and killed their way to the theater dozens of kilometers outside Xianyang City.”
"In the same year, the vassals of the six states were restored, and all of Shandong rebelled.”
Ying Fei looked deeply at all the officials before telling them a shocking piece of news.
In fact, Wei Zhongxian of the East Chamber had sent out two groups of people. The first group of 800 riders had crossed the border of the Peacock Dynasty and arrived at the Old Place of Rest.
The second wave of 600 cavalry traveled through the cities, kingdoms, and the peaceful residences all the way to the inner sea. Then, they met the Western Liang Army.
Before this, the Qin army was attacking Asia Minor, North Africa, and other countries. He did not reveal the news to prevent the morale of the army from being chaotic.
But now, the entire Far West region was trembling under the hooves of the Qin army. Their return to the east was imminent.
Ying Fei had to give a brief explanation of the situation in the Central Plains.
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The entire place was in an uproar.
No one dared to believe that the Great Qin Empire had really fallen apart.
"Within the eight hundred li of Guanzhong, millions of old Qin people are being bullied by Huhai and Zhao Gao.”
"Outside the pass, the various kingdoms are standing on their own. All the kings of the world want to break through Hangu Pass and point their swords at Xianyang.”
" This is Great Qin's current situation."
"The prosperity of the Qin country lies in the fact that they uphold the laws of the Shang monarch and the old Qin people.”
"But now, the 800-mile Qin River and millions of old Qin people have lost their faith in Great Qin.”
"Tell me, what should I do?”
Ying Fei's face was cold as he spoke in a deep voice.
At this moment, the square outside the Imperial City was deathly silent, and all the officials were shocked.
Everyone thought that no matter how much Huhai did, as long as the old Qin people were still around, they would be able to restore the country.
However, no one knew that the Qin people had already lost faith in Great Qin.
This was too terrifying.
