Chapter 489 The Empire is in turmoil
Bu Feng's arrival really gave Qin Yu a surprise. Their shared experience in Gulanzhou many years ago made them form a deep friendship.
Although they haven't seen each other for many years, they still feel no stranger when they meet.
"Brother Bu!" "Brother Qin!"
Qin Yu and Bu Feng held their hands tightly together, their eyes filled with excitement.
I haven’t seen him in a few years. Bu Feng’s cultivation has improved from the middle stage of Tianwu Realm to the peak of Tianwu Realm, and he is not far away from the Holy Martial Realm.
When he saw Qin Yu's cultivation level, he was as surprised as if he was riding a rocket. Qin Yu said that he was just lucky.
Then Qin Yu took out many precious elixirs and handed them to Bu Feng. Bu Feng smiled and said: "Brother Qin, this is not necessary. You can't help it by robbing the seedlings!"
Qin Yu also smiled and said: "Brother Bu, I hope you can be the commander of the Yuling Army and form a strong force that can represent the Yuling Army. These resources are top-notch elixirs and have very little side effects on the body. Just take it and use it to advance to the Holy Martial Realm as soon as possible!"
Qin Yu wanted to help Bu Feng build a force similar to the Galaxy Corps, so he had to improve Bu Feng's strength first
Bu Feng didn't refuse anymore. He had already made mental preparations before he came. The Bu family was originally a family of generals, but now it can be considered that they have returned to their old profession.
Bu Feng took the pill and said, "Okay, then I'll be disrespectful!"
Then Qin Yu called Chen Ming and a series of management cadres of the New Army and introduced Bu Feng to them. Bu Feng, like Chen Ming, will independently lead an army in the future!
Then Qin Yu asked Chen Ming and Bu Feng to name their own legions now.
Later, after several people discussed it, since the new army will not follow the previous structure of generals and private armies, it should not bear too much personal imprint.
Just arrange them in order and name them. The legion led by Chen Ming is called the First Legion, and Bu Feng leads the Second Legion.
Qin Yu also ordered Chen Ming to disperse the leaders of the rebel army from their ranks to avoid a situation where the subordinates would defeat the superiors!
If anyone disobeys military orders, he will be dealt with directly by military law!
……
After Huaying arrived, he quickly established the industrial system of the New Army. Although Du Zhiban was not here, a large number of engineers trained by Du Zhiban were all masters.
Coupled with Huaying's operational capabilities, the Yuling Army's base gradually became lively. Various workshops were established and began to recruit workers.
There have been a lot of fluctuations on Li Rubai's side recently. Now that he has decided to help Qin Yu, it will be a complete showdown with the central government.
He was too lazy to touch the informants placed by the Eight Kings before him, but now he can no longer let it go. He has dealt with a large number of people, including those who were imprisoned and those who were decapitated.
Even some of the leading generals on the front line were dealt with painfully by Li Rubai. Although they wanted to lead troops to fight, they had already surrendered to the Eight Kings in private. If they were not killed, they would be time bombs.
At the same time, Li Rubai also exchanged letters closely with the six northern states, discussing the affairs of the Prince's Mansion and Qin Yu.
Now the upper echelons of the empire have basically figured out that the unknown army in Gulanzhou is the Yuling Army from the Thorn Islands, and its commander is called Qin Yu
I also learned that Qin Yu had a relationship with the Prince's Mansion. Although Qin Yu's arrival in the Yaxin Empire was very secret, people within the Prince's Mansion still knew something about it.
Coupled with the fact that some of the rebels in the Prince's Mansion later were included, the news was leaked to the Eight Princes.
However, Qin Yu's establishment of power in Liaoji Prefecture has not yet spread to the central government, so the eight kings' attention is now entirely on Gulan Prefecture.
They urged Huyanlie to send troops to destroy the rebel army as soon as possible, but Huyanlie kept crying about poverty and asked the eight kings to give money to send more troops.
Finally, the fourteenth prince Xunwang sent an army to Gulanzhou to assist Huyanlie in annihilating the rebel army.
This army has a total of 100,000 people and is led by General Bu Ying under King Xun. Bu Ying is a late-stage cultivator in the Tianwu realm. Although his personal strength is not very strong, he is good at commanding troops to fight and has made many achievements.
Bu Ying is actually Bu Feng's elder sister, but they are distant relatives and have inherited the Bu family's tradition of being good at fighting.
When King Fu purged Bu Ying's family, he originally considered Bu Ying to be dealt with as well, because Bu Ying was also the one who commanded the troops, and King Fu was worried that she would take revenge on General Bu's family after knowing the truth.
However, King Xun cherished this talent and stepped in to protect Bu Ying.
Bu Ying was completely unaware of this matter. Like Bu Feng, she was deceived by the illusion created by King Fu.
Until now, Bu Ying believed that the culprit for the death of General Bu's family was the Prince's Mansion, so when he went to Gulanzhou this time, Bu Ying also had the goal of wiping out the rebels in the Prince's Mansion.
She had already sent someone to contact Hu Yanlie before setting off, informing him that she was coming with troops to annihilate the rebels in the Prince's Mansion, suppress the peasant uprising, and let Hu Yanlie concentrate on dealing with the Yu Ling Army.
After Hu Yanlie received her letter, he cursed angrily, saying that King Xun was an old fox and had let him touch the hard-to-gnaw Yuling Army.
But Hu Yanlie had to accept this request. After all, this was his matter in Gulan Province. It was unexpected that King Xun would send troops to support him.
However, both parties have their own agendas. Hu Yanlie naturally wants to conserve his strength. After Bu Ying has defeated the peasant army, he will let her fight against the Yu Ling Army with him.
King Xun also told Bu Ying to preserve his strength. After the situation in Gulan State was settled, Bu Ying's army would stay in Gulan State and become a wedge inserted into Hu Yanlie's heart.
The central government of the empire now has a terrible headache. The eight kings held many meetings to discuss important matters of the empire.
Gulan Prefecture in the northwest and Liaoji Prefecture in the northeast were not at peace, and several vassal towns in the six northern states did not obey the command. The central government ordered them to send troops to quell the chaos several times, but the six northern states refused to carry out the orders. The reason was that the vassal towns were equal units and could not Easy to intervene
Things are not settled in the north. The Zhu family, the governor of the three states in the east, is caught between the Dragon Empire and the Yaxin Empire. They control the eastern gate of the empire by themselves and take away a large amount of military expenditures from the central government every year.
The central government has long known that the Zhu family was secretly flirting with the generals of the Dragon Empire. The two sides were playing tricks on each other to defraud money from the treasury of the two countries.
But there is no way to punish him. If he really quits and opens the country wide to attract the enemy troops, it will be difficult to deal with it.
The Dugu family in the southwest has also made some moves recently. Originally, everyone knew that the Dugu family wanted to be independent. However, due to the power of the empire, they still ostensibly submitted to the central government.
They also allowed the central government to send troops and generals to manage their territories. However, recently they saw the deterioration of the domestic situation and felt that the time had come. They found an excuse to seize the military power of the local garrison generals and imprisoned all the officials and generals sent by the royal family.
Now all the four southwest states have fallen under the control of the Dugu family, and the Jiedushi envoys from the four surrounding states have also formed an alliance with him, forming a new independent force.
Of the thirty-four states in the entire empire, less than half are still under central control!
