Qin Ze stepped out of the tent and looked at the soldiers who were training, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
As you can see, these soldiers are now all extremely strong, and the resolute expressions on their faces also show that their mental fortitude has changed.
It takes 200,000 Qin soldiers to produce 2,000 elite Qin warriors, but I now have 14,000 elite Qin warriors!
What does this mean? It means that although you currently have 14,000 troops, your fighting strength is enough to rival that of an army of around 100,000!
Qin Ruishi was a special forces soldier among soldiers!
Although it cost more than 700,000 points in one go, Qin Ze believed it was a very worthwhile exchange!
Replacing them with 100,000 ordinary soldiers is far less cost-effective than Qin's elite troops. The number of soldiers doesn't increase, the amount of food consumed is not much, and they have stronger combat power.
Of course, with these elite Qin soldiers, future battles will become increasingly fierce.
Qin Ze was already looking forward to the next battle; he wanted to see just how powerful these Qin warriors could be!
...
Three days later, in the capital.
Inside a teahouse, several burly men dressed as farmers were chatting idly.
One of them, though his temples were already gray, had a ruddy complexion and a robust physique; he was none other than Zhao Zhennan, a former lieutenant general of the Chiyan Army.
After escorting Qin Ze to Beiliang, he returned to the capital with his brothers.
At this moment, Zhao Zhennan looked excited, his thick eyebrows and big eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Brothers, you've all heard the news these past few days, haven't you? The general is not only safe and sound in Beiliang, but he has also wiped out tens of thousands of bandits!"
Upon hearing this, the others all nodded, their faces showing delight.
Zhao Zhennan clenched his fist and said, word by word:
"I've known the general since he was a child. I knew that no matter what situation he was in, he would be able to turn things around. Now it seems that this is indeed the case!"
"But the imperial court...sigh, I wonder if this will affect them..."
At this point, Zhao Zhennan gazed at the horizon, then continued, "I hope the general can proceed steadily and surely, without giving the court any ammunition to criticize..."
On the other side.
Inside the Golden Palace, a court assembly is currently in session.
Wearing a dragon robe, Jin Fengluan sat upright on the dragon throne. Her beautiful, aloof face was expressionless, but her captivating eyes held a hint of anger.
News of Qin Ze's suppression of bandits in Beiliang has reached the capital in the past few days.
When Jin Fengluan saw this message while reviewing the memorial, she was surprised. She never expected that after Qin Ze entered Beiliang, he would be able to wipe out the bandits, and even, as the memorial said, wipe out tens of thousands of bandits in one fell swoop!
Thinking back to what Qin Ze said in court, she had thought he was young and arrogant and didn't take him seriously.
Who would have thought that Qin Ze would be able to wipe out three bandit strongholds and annihilate tens of thousands of bandits in just one month after entering Beiliang? Thinking of this, Jin Fengluan's expression became even more solemn.
The purpose of making Beiliang the Qin family's fiefdom was to ensure that the Qin family would die there in a logical way.
Now, not only is the Qin family still alive, but they have also gained a foothold in Beiliang. How can Jin Fengluan tolerate this?
She would never allow Qin Ze to live peacefully as the Prince of Zhenbei in Beiliang!
At this moment, facing the assembled officials, Jin Fengluan parted her cherry lips slightly, and a majestic voice emanated from her throat:
"The Prince of Zhenbei has wiped out tens of thousands of bandits in Beiliang. What are your thoughts on this, my esteemed ministers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Li, the Minister of Personnel, bowed and stepped forward, saying:
"Your Majesty, I have also learned of this matter. The news of the Prince of Zhenbei's suppression of bandits is being spread throughout the capital. The people are all praising him. The bandits in Beiliang were a serious problem, and the Prince of Zhenbei's annihilation of them is truly a great and gratifying achievement!"
"When the Prince of Zhenbei left the capital, he brought only eight hundred personal guards. After only a few days of stationing himself in Beiliang, he began to send troops to suppress bandits. Such courage and boldness are truly admirable! He is worthy of the title 'Prince of Zhenbei' bestowed upon him by His Majesty!"
Zhang Li was also delighted at this point.
He felt quite sad when Qin Ze left the capital. When Qin Haotian was alive, he had a good relationship with him. The Qin family's entry into Beiliang was a matter of life and death, and it was a great fortune that they were able to save their lives.
But Qin Ze not only survived, but was even able to lead troops to wipe out the bandits, which made Zhang Li overjoyed.
In fact, Zhang Li was shocked when he received the news yesterday that Qin Ze was suppressing bandits in Beiliang. He never expected that Qin Ze could do such a feat.
Looking back now, it's truly inspiring that he, as the son of Qin Haotian, led troops into battle at the age of fifteen and became famous at a young age. Now, he has managed to survive a life-or-death situation.
Thinking of this, Zhang Li felt gratified. As the saying goes, a tiger father begets no dog son. His previous worries now seemed to have been unnecessary.
After Zhang Li finished speaking, several ministers in the court nodded in agreement.
Jin Fengluan pursed her lips slightly, her eyes gradually turning cold.
Huang Long then bowed forward and said in a deep voice:
"His Majesty has conferred upon Qin Ze the title of Prince of Zhenbei, granting him the fief of Beiliang. His actions in leading troops to suppress bandits are merely fulfilling his duties. I think there is no need for excessive praise, lest he become arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li frowned, anger rising within him.
He knew that Huanglong had always been at odds with the Qin family, but now that Qin Ze had wiped out tens of thousands of bandits, his deeds were praised by everyone, and the people were moved to tears of gratitude. Couldn't he say so?
This is something that benefits the country and its people! How can it be considered unimportant?
Thinking of this, Zhang Li said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty! I believe that the Prince of Zhenbei has just settled in Beiliang and has already used swift and decisive methods to kill bandits. Such iron-fisted methods must have instilled fear in the bandits of Beiliang, and they will surely restrain themselves."
