Disasters seemed to spread all over the world in an instant. Not only did more and more monsters and monsters begin to appear frequently, but also in some inaccessible places, or in the ruins of the world that had been abandoned due to war, epidemics or natural disasters. Some evil ghosts not only attack the underworld, but even come out of the junction of yin and yang there.
Although the power of the sun during the day has been weakened a lot due to the interference of another sun, there is still such a strong sunlight, which makes ghosts and monsters who are not good enough dare not act as they please, but at night they really do. Making people in many places aware of the horrors of the night.
At the beginning of winter, in the Dazhen court, Emperor Jianchang was so angry after seeing some memorials that he couldn't sleep all night. He dressed early and arrived at the Golden Palace before the original time to get up. We are waiting for the morning court meeting in the middle. It just so happens that today is another court meeting, and all the officials from the capital who are qualified to participate will come.
When Emperor Jianchang stepped out of his palace, there were already two rows of eunuchs lined up outside, all waiting with lanterns in their hands. The sky was still completely dark.
"Your Majesty, please have your meal first!"
The eunuch had asked before at the bedside, but the emperor didn't look good and still didn't want to eat anything.
"I have no appetite, so I will go directly to the Golden Palace. These shameless things, without a teacher, will they all be nothing?"
The emperor was so angry that all the eunuchs and maids beside him did not dare to express their anger. They all said "yes" and then moved forward with the emperor.
Different from the previous morning dynasties, this time when it was time for the dynasty meeting, when a group of civil and military ministers lined up to enter the Golden Palace, they actually found that the emperor had already sat on the dragon throne in advance and looked down calmly. This made Yin Qing slightly surprised. .
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
The reactions among the courtiers have almost become conditioned reflexes. Someone took the lead in saluting, and almost at the same moment all the civil and military ministers followed suit. It seemed that the saluting was still very neat.
"Come on, do you know why I came to the court so early?"
The emperor asked this question, and no one among the ministers dared to answer except "Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Qing looked around and responded with Gui.
"Returning to your majesty, I believe that your majesty should be worried about the demons appearing around our Dazhen and even in our country."
"Hmph, it's good to know. A few months have passed. Instead of properly handling the so-called 'small chaos', now there are demons appearing in our territory. What crime should you do?"
Many courtiers below did not dare to speak, but Yin Qing glanced at the emperor and knew that the emperor only said this to vent his violent anger.
"Replying to Your Majesty, I believe that the chaos in the world will become more and more serious. Although our country is strong, it is still not enough to fully cope with it. I hope that documents can be drafted as soon as possible to recruit new soldiers in our country."
conscription
However, the other ministers and even the emperor on the dragon throne were stunned for a moment. It is true that he was angry, but he also knew that some things actually required reaction time. If there was anyone who was not doing well in the process, he would punish him and then transfer him. Just take care of the rest with your own hands. I didn't expect that a capable minister like Yin Qing would suddenly propose to recruit troops.
"Yin Aiqing, I have a strong army and strong horses. Not counting the civilians and handymen, I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the world. There are even immortal masters at the court. There are also ghosts and gods on all sides. To deal with these monsters, there is no need to recruit troops, right?"
Emperor Jianchang knew that the more conscription there was, the greater the financial burden of raising troops would be, and the greater the tax pressure would eventually be distributed to the people, which would be more laborious and waste money. This did not count as compulsory conscription.
Some courtiers on one side thought that Yin Qing was trying to control anger and arouse the emperor's anger. Unexpectedly, Yin Qing took out a memorial from his arms.
"Your Majesty, I am not joking. I believe Si Tianjian and Tianshi will come to see you soon."
As soon as Yin Qing finished speaking, a eunuch shouted loudly outside the Golden Palace.
"Lord Literary Saint has arrived—"
The courtiers all subconsciously turned to look in the direction of the Golden Palace gate, and many of them were slightly surprised or whispering excitedly.
"Master Wen Sheng?" "Mr. Yin!"
"Yin Gong is here!" "Literary Saint!"
Yin Zhaoxian's beard and hair were all white, but his face was still full of energy. He walked towards the Golden Palace step by step. When he stepped inside, it seemed that the skylight that had just started to light up outside entered the Golden Palace, making the palace a little brighter.
"Yin Zhaoxian, see your Majesty!"
Yin Zhaoxian bowed to the emperor, who quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to support himself.
"Teacher, no courtesy, please come back quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Teacher, why did I alarm you?"
Yin Zhao straightened up first, looked at the ministers in the court, and then at Emperor Jianchang.
"Your Majesty, no one was alarmed. Yin just thought it was time to come. I heard everything Qing'er said. Maybe it is really necessary..."
"teacher… "
In the middle of the emperor's words, Yin Zhaoxian raised his hand and interrupted him. In the entire Dazhen Dynasty, Yin Zhaoxian was the only one who could make Emperor Jianchang willing to be interrupted like this.
"Your Majesty, the night before yesterday, the city god of Gyeonggi Prefecture and I had a cup of tea and played chess. During this period, Yin learned that the world was in chaos in all directions, and the entire underworld was in chaos. Even Gyeonggi Prefecture was not at peace. Ghost soldiers were sent from all directions, and people in other places at that time Demons and ghosts are also becoming more and more rampant. Yin's friend said many years ago that this is a change in heaven, not just a chaos in the world, but a calamity for all living beings."
The relationship between ghosts and gods and some great dynasties is now very subtle. Although it is closer than before, most ghosts and gods avoid the princes and nobles of the human world in most cases, and Yin Zhaoxian is an exception.
The emperor was startled. He looked at the courtiers but did not find Si Tianjian and Jianzheng. Then he remembered that it was him who asked the other party to stare at the stars when there was no important matter, so that he did not have to come to court every time. He suddenly said to the eunuch beside him.
"It is passed on to the Chief Supervisor, Supervisor Zhenghe, and the Imperial Preceptor."
"yes!"
However, not long after the person who went to deliver the order left the Golden Palace, he saw the two adults who were going to deliver the order walking hand in hand. After the eunuch outside announced loudly, they entered the palace together.
"I have met with Your Majesty, Lord Wen Sheng!"
"Excuse me, do you two have anything to say?"
Du Changsheng glanced at Yan Chang, then stepped forward to explain.
"Your Majesty, I have figured out the reason for the abnormal weather this year. It is that there is a second sun hanging in the sky in the Black Meng Ling Continent in the south. This is the evil sun star, spreading endless filth in the world, and the world will usher in a great disaster. Disaster!"
"Your Majesty, please read the memorial!"
Yin Qing stepped forward again and handed over the memorial. After the eunuch passed it on, the emperor finally opened the memorial and read it. It was densely filled with words. It was not a simple proposal, but more like a complete strategy.
After a long time, the emperor asked the eunuch to hand the memorial to Yin Zhaoxian. After the latter read it and nodded to the emperor, Emperor Jianchang finally made up his mind.
"Pass an edict, and from now on, the world will be ordered to sign signs for men of suitable age to join the army, and to disclose the information to the people as appropriate. Yin Aiqing and the Ministry of War will be responsible together."
"My lord, I obey the order!"
…
Dazhen Chaotang is just the tip of the iceberg of the reactions of the imperial courts all over the world. In fact, they are already facing an extremely dangerous situation at this moment and cannot allow for slow discussion. What's more, the whole country is completely in chaos.
Under this situation, Dazhen's decree quickly felt the pressure brought by reality. Before the conscription order from Kyoto was transmitted to the local areas, various demon chaos had begun to appear throughout the country. Although it was not comparable to other places in the world, it was It really frightened many people, and even spread various uneasy words in the country.
Dazhen is a glorious place of Shintoism, and it is also a prosperous place where civil and military spirit originates. If Dazhen is still like this, one can imagine the situation in all parts of the world.
Dazhen's conscription order was finally issued to all parts of the country. At this time, rumors were already spreading in the country, and news from all over the sky was flying. In addition, Dazhen Navy had previously led soldiers to fight with demons in other countries. Even if the conscription order was issued, It was not stated clearly, but people speculated that Da Zhen was going to war with demons.
Nowadays, the influence of humane civil and military spirit has been there for many years, and the trend of civility and martial arts is very popular in the world. However, this time we have to deal with monsters and ghosts instead of hostile dynasties, and the majority of ordinary people are still afraid.
After some ambitious people and martial arts practitioners in Dazhen applied for the army, the response from ordinary people in some places was not very enthusiastic.
But in other places, a sudden wave of enthusiasm for joining the army broke out, which shocked parents and officials from all sides.
At the recruitment point outside Huarong Mansion, men who came to apply had already lined up in a long line. Some of them were even waiting here early in the morning, which made the military commanders who had just come to get some documents slightly startled.
"so many people?"
The soldiers on the side lowered their heads to the military commander.
"Lord Sima, I heard that most of them came here from Liebeng City..."
"Liebeng City? Isn't that dozens of miles away?"
Army Sima was even more surprised. Liebeng City is a city that is almost entirely composed of new people from Dazhen. Although Dazhen has now fully accepted tens of millions of new people, and they have been living and working in peace and contentment over the years and passing on the family lineage, in the end there is still a slight impression. different.
For example, in this recruitment, Dazhen officials were afraid that the new people would not be in the court for long enough, and a large-scale conscription would cause complaints, so they did not consider recruiting a large number of soldiers in the areas where the new people lived for the time being.
The army commander did not expect that the people from Liebeng City would travel dozens of miles to Huarong Mansion.
"Are you all going to join the army?"
"Yes, sir!" "Sir, I am very strong!"
"Sir, I have practiced this style for two years!" "Sir, I can endure hardship!"
"Sir, I want to join the army too!"
Army Sima could see that these people were excited and even eager. The superiors just didn't want the new people to feel conflicted, but there was no guarantee that they would take the initiative to join the army, but he still hesitated.
"Why did you come so far?"
"Sir! We want to join the army!"
"Yes, sir, we want to join the army, kill monsters, and contribute to Da Zhen!"
The people queuing up became excited. Some were afraid that Dazhen's recruitment requirements were too high and they would be rejected. After all, in their view, their Dazhen sergeants were very powerful and were the best soldiers in the world. The requirements were definitely very high.
"Sir! Please allow us to join the army. We have been the food of demons for generations. We have been living a life worse than pigs and dogs all year round. We have no hope, no hope, and are worse than beasts. But back then, Master Wu Sheng was in the demon cave. He stood up and fought the demons with a mortal body, killing demon corpses everywhere, which also set fire in our hearts. Living in Dazhen for so many years made us understand that we are humans, not animals of the demons! !”
"Now demons are sweeping the world! We don't want to be animals anymore. We are human beings. We want to join the army, we want to fight, and we want to kill the demons!"
"Kill the monster!" "Kill the monster!"
"We want to join the army!"
All the people in line raised their fists to the sky. Under the excitement of the crowd, even the people who originally came to join the army in Huarong Mansion were enthusiastic and imitated.
What a strong passion!
Jun Sima could not refuse such a sincere heart.
"Okay! Come one by one, record the information and register for the army!"
"Hahaha... I can join the army!" "Sir, we still have many compatriots coming!"
"Be sure to recruit more people!"
…
Not only in Huarong Mansion, but also in countless recruitment points all over Dazhen, new Dazhen citizens rushed there in groups regardless of the distance. Some people even encountered demons on the way, and they even came together. He used the knife in his hand to fight against the demon. When he arrived at the recruitment point, there were still blood stains on his clothes, but his enthusiasm remained unchanged.
This situation was not expected by officials from all sides in Dazhen. When the news reached the capital, even Yin Qing was surprised for a long time. In the palace, Emperor Jianchang laughed many times about this, which was a true sense of joy for Long Yan.
It can be said that this is an upgraded version of "convert fanaticism".
The new people of Dazhen know that they have been favored by Dazhen for a long time, and they also know that they are foreigners after all. They have integrated well and have not been discriminated against. This makes them more motivated and want to serve the country and be loyal to Dazhen. Even higher than ordinary people.
On the other hand, ancestors have been devoured by demon slaves for generations, and they have always lost their dignity as human beings. No one among the new people has forgotten this history. Their dignity was finally recovered, but now the situation reminds them of that extreme situation again. fear.
After reacting, all the emotions of Dazhen Xinmin turned into extreme anger, a kind of anger that was almost revengeful and combined with enthusiasm for serving the country. Countless young people wished they could join the army and die in service to the country. At the same time, this enthusiasm also led to many people. other people.
This enthusiasm did not stop when the enthusiasm for joining the army was reached. During the training, they showed extreme endurance and hard work. They showed a desperate attitude in martial arts training, and they all aspired to become the Da Zhen warrior with the most exaggerated training intensity.
Recruits generally fear monsters more than anything else, but this time during Da Zhen's recruitment, most of the recruits actually hated monsters. They were full of enthusiasm just to move forward with their troops. They all believed that becoming Da Zhen soldiers would further help them become soldiers. Da Zhen Wushu can kill demons with his own hands.
This is an extremely powerful, even extremely terrifying belief, so much so that the stars in the sky change their aura due to it, and it even causes experts from all over the world to figure out the reasons.
