Starting as a God-Emperor by Intercepting Destiny

0070 Only with the right political ideology can the bandits of Bashan be successfully integrated and

Bashan's speech solidified Zhao Jing's leadership authority.

Both Bai Yutang and Lin Fengxue looked shocked.

They had never seen the heroes of Bashan so excited.

People respect Lin Fengxue, but they do not submit to or support him.

Although Lin Fengxue could see that Zhao Jing had used mystical arts, it was all just wishful thinking.

It's amazing that it could excite the heroes of Bashan so much.

Zhao Jing waved his hand in acknowledgment and slowly walked down from the platform. At this moment, Bai Yutang stepped forward to speak:

"From this day forward, we will change our name to the Bashan Righteous Army and fight to defend the emperor."

Although Bai Yutang was originally a constable, he had also received some military training.

Because his father believed that a martial artist's greatest reliance lies in two things.

Both rely on their own military strength and military formations.

Bai Yutang came from a good family and was more outstanding than Instructor Lin, so he had also learned military tactics and could train soldiers.

The heroes of Bashan are not modern people; they haven't had much experience with chicken soup.

After Zhao Jing administered that bottle of chicken blood, everyone was excited and quickly responded:

"Yes, Second Boss."

Bai Yutang's expression changed:

"We need to start changing how we address people."

"Your Highness is Your Highness, the Chief is a guerrilla general, and the Second-in-Command should be changed to... to strategist!"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, strategist!"

The heroes are roaring.

Only then was Bai Yutang satisfied and began his campaign to reform the heroes of Bashan and gradually transform them into an army.

Previously, Lin Fengxue and others were not qualified to make overly strict demands.

They were all bandits forced into banditry by the imperial court.

Why are you so strict with me?

Leading a team is not easy; you need to instill a corresponding political ideology in them.

Otherwise, they would just be bandits roaming the mountains and forests, and would never amount to anything.

Lin Fengxue's previous statement was:

"We were forced to go to Bashan because treacherous officials were in power, the Grand Tutor held immense power and oppressed the good people."

"His Majesty would never have wanted this, but has been misled by treacherous officials."

"Therefore, we cannot take lives; we can only take some property to develop and strengthen ourselves and practice martial arts."

"In the future, we can accept the imperial pardon, serve as officials in the court, and fight against treacherous officials!"

"Anyone who takes lives, commits adultery, or plunders is blocking the way of our brothers and betraying our loyalty."

This argument may be laughable, but it can actually prevent the heroes of Bashan from burning, killing, and looting.

Because they genuinely believed that they could be recruited into the government in the future, or even given official positions, and had long-term prospects.

Just like in the game, the heroes of Bashan are specifically portrayed.

The local people also thought they were more reasonable and much better than the government soldiers.

With this set of political theories, the heroes of Bashan would be able to restrain themselves, accept discipline, and refrain from raping, plundering, and indulging their bestial nature.

The Liangshan heroes in "Water Margin" demonstrated a level of discipline far exceeding that of ordinary bandits under this political ideology.

Now Zhao Jing has arrived.

He told the heroes of Bashan, in his capacity as the emperor's grandson, that they were no longer outlaws, but the Bashan Righteous Army, a force loyal to the emperor.

If you become officials or members of the Imperial Guard in the future, you must strictly demand of yourselves the standards befitting officers and soldiers.

This is called identity recognition.

Zhao Jing believed that under such reforms, the Bashan heroes would be even more malleable than ordinary soldiers.

Lin Fengxue laid a solid foundation, and Zhao Jing provided political legitimacy to shape this army, making it no less capable than any other.

For Lin Fengxue, he was not the type to fight for power and profit; he was more like a technician.

If ambitious individuals see Bai Yutang taking the initiative to reorganize the army, they might have some ideas.

But he didn't. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and followed Zhao Jing closely, asking in a low voice:

"Your Highness, where is my wife?"

Thirty acres of land, an ox, a wife and children, and a warm bed.

Lin Fengxue is the kind of person who is content with a little wealth, completely different from Lin Yong.

Given the chance, he still wants to be a technician and earn a living through his own skills.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but chuckle at their eagerness to acquire land and houses.

He said earnestly:

"Instructor Lin, you're an honest man."

"If even an honest person like you can't survive, then there must be something wrong with the imperial court."

"I will definitely help you and your husband reunite."

So you understand what you should do?

Lin Fengxue may not understand other things, but she knows this very well.

He quickly made a vow:

"Your Highness's kindness will be unforgettable for me for the rest of my life, and I am willing to serve you to the death."

Zhao Jing then released the Floating Pagoda.

Ah, a Dao artifact!

Lin Fengxue was taken aback.

Although he accepted the leadership of the Crown Prince, he always harbored doubts.

Now that Zhao Jing has taken out the Floating Pagoda, that newly upgraded Dao artifact, it is enough to make people make a more profound vow.

Zhao Jing smiled slightly:

"Instructor Lin, do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Coach Lin unhesitatingly engraved his own martial arts will on it.

well.

Zhao Jing smiled with satisfaction:

"I don't know Madam Pan's whereabouts either."

"All we know is that she must be somewhere near Bashan, or even near the Yuwen family's stronghold."

"Only in this way can Yuwen Yi uncover the truth and help her take revenge."

"We need to find her before that happens."

"I will also mobilize the people of the Crown Prince's Palace to search together."

Even Zhao Jing could not predict the future.

He was lucky to have arrived in Bashan so quickly; he couldn't expect the enemy to always lag behind him.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Lin Fengxue breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zhao Jing's assurance; she had finally seen a glimmer of hope.

Zhao Jing added:

"Don't let your guard down."

"Zhou Xiong is dead. The Yuwen family will surely send someone to investigate since he has not returned for so long."

"That will also be the time for us to locate the enemy."

"He came alone this time for efficiency; next time he will be accompanied by the guards of the Yuwen family."

Lin Fengxue cursed himself for being an idiot.

Zhou Xiong is dead. How could the Yuwen family not react? They will definitely send people to investigate.

If you adopt a relaxed exterior and a tight interior approach, you have a chance to succeed in fishing.

Lin Fengxue quickly replied:

"I understand, and I will guard the four directions strictly and capture the Yuwen family members."

Zhao Jing nodded:

"There's one more thing."

"Send people to keep a close eye on [the Lock Key Pass]. If any envoys come from Yujing, report them immediately. These are all rebellious rebels."

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Jing was able to find the heroes of Bashan not because he was familiar with the geography.

Instead, there's only one road to enter Sichuan and Chongqing.

The Great Yong conquered the lands of Ba and Shu, a journey that took a century, because the road was simply too difficult to traverse.

Bazhou is difficult to traverse, but the Shu Road is even more difficult.

Martial arts masters can climb mountains and fly, but soldiers who have mastered the Xuan Guan (a martial arts technique) will find it difficult to traverse.

Everywhere else are steep mountains, but only the Key Lock Pass guards the entrance.

Even after passing the "Key Pass," there are still continuous mountain ranges and rugged roads.

Bashan is the first hurdle after entering the "Key and Lock Pass".

The heroes of Bashan hid in the mountains, occasionally coming out to do business.

As long as the price is right and it's not a life-threatening situation, merchants and travelers will obediently pay, treating it as a toll.

There was no killing, only a toll collection. Even if it was the Yuwen family's caravan, including the soldiers of Suoyue Pass, there was no need for them to send out experts to encircle and suppress them.

Because it's not worth it.

For a few dozen taels of silver in toll fees, you dispatched experts to hunt down a bandit who was suspected to be at the Innate Realm and commanded several thousand men.

Are you out of your mind?

Lin Fengxue ran his business for three years without any government troops coming to suppress him; instead, he managed to unite the other bandits.

In the Bashan area, he set the prices uniformly.

The caravans expressed that the security situation in Bashan had improved, and they were even less willing to hire expensive agencies like Longmen Escort Agency, opting instead for Fuwei Escort Agency.

Even the magistrate of Ba County reported that the administration was effective and the bandits were suppressed, which earned him praise from the imperial court and a promotion to prefect.

Before leaving office, the magistrate of Ba County even came to present a gift, hoping that everyone would continue to maintain a friendly relationship and that the next magistrate would remember this.

It can be described as dark humor.

Therefore, Zhao Jing's task was perfectly reasonable, and Lin Fengxue immediately patted his chest and promised:

"Your Highness, rest assured, I understand."

"I will immediately send men to guard the pass. Unless the imperial court sends a master-level expert to deliver an urgent message, they will be able to detect it."

The imperial court issued orders in various circumstances.

General Shi, who commands a large army, is unlikely to be the one sending an urgent message.

Such urgent messages are often delivered by grandmasters or those at the pinnacle of innate cultivation at the fastest speed, including using mystical arts or demonic beasts, etc.

However, this kind of urgent message is used only when you are certain that the other party will obey.

If you send such an urgent message, and the recipient kills the person and claims they died on the way, you will have no way to prove it.

Therefore, there was an official imperial decree to activate and confirm the situation along the way.

This ensures the proper transmission of the imperial edict.

The coup d'état by the eldest princess and others led to a decline in the court's prestige.

You can't expect General Shi to hand over his army just because you give him a casual notice.

That's a dream.

In Zhao Jing's previous life, large corporations all had a rule: if an instruction wasn't formally delivered via email, it was considered as if there was no order at all.

Verbal notifications are not valid, unless they are from your direct supervisor.

Therefore, they sent a formal mission to take over the army and even to negotiate.

Of course, there will definitely be emergency notifications, and people will be dispatched to make contact as quickly as possible.

But General Shi would only make a real decision after seeing the official imperial edict.

This gave Zhao Jing room and time to manipulate the situation, to examine the imperial edict, and even to intercept it.

He has acquired the power of the Bashan rebels, and now is the time to unleash it to its fullest potential.

"Tu Su, what secret agents does the Crown Prince have in Bazhou?"

After defeating the bandits of Bashan and obtaining the first key, Zhao Jing began to prepare to activate the power possessed by the Eastern Palace.

Unexpectedly, Tu Su brought some terrible news:

"Your Highness, we're in trouble."

Because the Blood Raven Flying Carriage was blocked.
