Chapter 162 Five-Nation Peace Treaty
Xueyu and Jingguo joined forces to repel Zeguo's attack and proposed a peace treaty.
Zeguo was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, so he agreed to sign.
The main forces in southern Xinjiang were busy seizing the map of Mohist institutions and needed some time to concentrate on this matter, so they agreed.
The King of Yue and the King of Ze were allies. Since the alliance needed time to recover, he naturally had no objection and agreed to sign the treaty.
The peace was short-lived, with most monarchs agreeing to it for only one year.
For one year, all nations will live in peace and will not start a war. The people of the five nations bear witness to this, as do all the philosophers and schools of thought. If anyone violates this treaty, he or she will willingly be attacked by the whole world.
The kings of the five nations swore an oath in front of all the people, and no one dared to bear the consequences of violating the oath.
The place for signing the contract was finally set in Jing State, one of the initiators of the contract. Seven days later, Emperor Ze, King Yue, King Nanjiang and Lord of the Snow Region would gather in Jing State to sign the treaty.
Although a year is very short, this news still made people all over the world celebrate for a long time with drums and gongs.
This war also left Jingjun and Xueyu with heavy wounds, but no matter what, at least a brief peace was achieved, and Junlin could leave for Southern Xinjiang with peace of mind.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Jing returned from a victorious battle, and the people on the streets cheered continuously.
Under Junlin's instruction, Jin Ge was in charge of accounting, Ming He and Man Chuan were in charge of rewarding the soldiers based on their merits and giving them the rewards and subsidies they deserved. This matter has kept them busy for the past two days.
While Yuyu, Manhuang and Xingzhi were recuperating from their injuries, Song Simiao went to comfort the families of the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives for the country.
Song Simiao is a person who possesses the unique gentleness and insight of an elder, and can always patiently tolerate all the sorrow and anger of his family.
He is like the bright moon at night, which can cause the tides to rise and fall, and can soothe people's pain.
Everyone is trying their best to heal the wounds caused by the war.
As the king, Junlin is currently selecting new cavalry in the barracks.
The Dajing Iron Cavalry has 100,000 men, and their numbers would decrease with each war. At this time, the responsible persons would select the new blood for the Iron Cavalry from among the generals who have emerged from the layers of selection.
It can be said that almost every soldier in Jingguo dreams of joining the Iron Cavalry, wearing the unique and precious armor bestowed by His Majesty, riding a majestic armored warhorse, and equipped with the best improved weapons.
That was the direct military unit that obeyed the orders of Emperor Jing and was the pride of Emperor Jing. The Dajing Iron Cavalry was well-known among the Five Kingdoms and made people tremble with fear at the mere mention of them.
In the military camp, every soldier standing here is an outstanding one. The difference is that someone leaked the news that Emperor Jing came to select them personally this time. All of them were so excited that their blood rushed to their heads. Their anticipation and excitement intertwined, making their eyes red.
Her heart beat faster, her heart was beating restlessly and was about to burst out of her chest, her muscles were tensed in a state of forbearance and restraint, and everything reached its climax when she saw the tall and straight figure of Emperor Jing.
"His Majesty--"
The heavy shouts of thousands of troops and horses were very shocking. Jun Lin looked at her country and her people, and a feeling of happiness filled his whole body.
Then all the soldiers looked at her in shock.
Seeing that his eyes, which were always heroic and rebellious, bent towards them with a happy smile.
Jun Lin was born beautiful, and perhaps many people only remembered her powerful swordsmanship that was impossible to resist, but ignored her charming face.
Emperor Jing was smiling at them.
Nothing could make them more satisfied than this.
The emperor is different. Even if she doesn't say anything, others can feel her aura that seems to be able to calm the mountains and rivers.
The soldiers with strict military discipline looked at Emperor Jing in front of them with pious and solemn expressions, their fists clenched, waiting for the king to speak.
Jun Lin's long hair was tied up high, and the beautiful and neat ponytail made her look more heroic.
"When I came here, I actually thought of many things to say, how to inspire your morale, how to make you willingly take up arms to defend this piece of land, but when I actually saw you, I realized that there was no need to say anything."
No one in the well-organized army spoke without permission, but there was confusion in their eyes. Why was there no need to speak?
Soon, the master of the empire answered their questions.
"Because when I saw you, I saw the answer on your faces."
She stood at the front of the team, her back always so straight, and because her hair was tied up, her slender white neck was exposed, beautiful and pretty. Her shining eyes were like thin ice melting, and the gentle spring breeze made people's hearts flutter.
Her soldiers were passionate, resolute, and had fearless sharpness on their energetic faces, and their clear eyes seemed to break through all the fog and move forward.
Since they were willing to come here and had the ability to compete for the position of Iron Knight, Jun Lin already understood their determination.
Jun Lin smiled and said, "Come, let me see your strength."
The blood rushed through their limbs and bones, and the whole army shouted loudly: "Yes!"
The spring breeze blows, and time is blown forward.
Seven days passed quickly, and for the first time, the gates of Jing Kingdom were opened to these kings with a welcoming attitude.
Just because they want to sign a peace treaty here.
The teams from each country are not large, but they are enough to grab everyone's attention.
In the palace, Jun Lin was wearing a black robe with gold dragon threads, which symbolized the ruler of Jing State. His dark red collar was ironed smoothly, and he had a diamond-encrusted sword on his waist.
The left and right ministers stood on his side. Manhuang and others were not present because their status was not high enough to attend this meeting.
The tightly closed door of the hall was pushed open by the guards on both sides. The dazzling light made Jun Lin squint his eyes in discomfort.
She exhaled lightly and took her first step with great dignity.
"Follow me to welcome distinguished guests from all countries!"
The left and right prime ministers bowed their heads slightly and said respectfully to her: "Yes."
Emperor Jing and his two ministers walked out of the grand and dark hall and into the sunlight.
