The city of Zen fell into the hands of Kuchan.
The people of Zen City seem to have become accustomed to the changes in the flags on the city walls. They don’t care who will rule Zen City. What they care about is the attitude of this group of people entering the city.
Of course these people entering the city are bandits!
Since they are bandits, it is expected that they will rob houses.
Just like when Tividi entered the city, every household was cleaned out by his men, and all the silver, money and food were taken away by Tividi.
Therefore, the residents of Zen City, who were poor and had no food to eat, no longer had any fear. They even sat on the doorstep, watching the bloody army come in, watch them walk through the streets in front of them, and watch their backs as they left, and they were a little surprised.
These people didn’t come to rob!
Why don’t they come and rob it?
Where are they going? What are they going to do?
Ku Chan was extremely strict with regard to military discipline.
He understood from Fu Xiaoguan the importance of military discipline to the army. He had already set rules for every soldier of the Tianyu Army - whoever dared to rob civilians would be the dead soul under this tin staff!
He used powerful force to suppress the Tianyu Army and made these former refugees understand what rules are.
The Tianyu Army lost more than 2,000 soldiers in this battle, and only more than 3,000 of his 6,000 soldiers are left.
He is now going to take over the more than 13,000 soldiers left by Tiwedi in the city.
He used the tin staff in his hand to smash the heads of several leaders who intended to rebel, and then he stood in front of more than 10,000 soldiers.
"From now on, you are officially incorporated into the Tianyu Army!"
"Next, I will teach you the rules of the Tianyu Army. If anyone dares to break the rules..." He lifted a corpse with his staff, "This will be your fate!"
"My name is Kuchan, the mayor of Zen City and the leader of the Tianyu Army."
"From now on, follow me. As long as I have a bite to eat, you will never starve to death!"
"Next, I will read out the rules of the Tianyu Army. I will only read them once. If anyone forgets and breaks the rules... don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Ku Chan spent an hour explaining the rules of the Tianyu Army to these soldiers. Only a few of these soldiers were former soldiers of the Peacock Legion, and most of them were poor people who relied on Tiwedi for a living.
They really listened carefully, and suddenly found that the Tianyu Army seemed a little different, and suddenly found that the monk in front of them seemed to be able to lead them to conquer a new empire.
Kuchan's words were simple, but every word touched their hearts.
These more than 13,000 soldiers and the more than 3,000 soldiers of the Tianyu Army were merged together by Ku Chan and reorganized into two armies - the First Tianyu Army and the Second Tianyu Army.
There is no commander at the moment because Ku Chan does not yet understand these soldiers and has no one available.
He asked the former soldiers of the Tianyu Army to teach the new soldiers the language and writing of Daxia, then opened the door of the warehouse and rewarded each of them with one or two taels of silver.
With just one or two taels of silver, he won the trust and support of the new recruits.
After all, Tiwedi only needs them to work hard and give them a meal to keep them fed and clothed.
"We celebrate the New Year on the first day of the first lunar month. It is the biggest festival, marking the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year. This is the meaning of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new."
"From now on, we will also have a festival called the Chinese New Year. Everyone can use this little silver to buy some delicious food on the street, but you are absolutely not allowed to eat and drink for free, and you are definitely not allowed to cause trouble."
"Go ahead, rotate the soldiers guarding the city. Everyone, spend the New Year peacefully, because next year... we still have a lot of things to do and a lot of battles to fight!"
…
…
Chang'an City.
This was the first year that Daxia moved its capital to Chang'an, so this year was naturally special in the hearts of the residents of Chang'an.
The government seemed to attach great importance to it. Big red lanterns were hung in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. There were fireworks everywhere, and the scene was full of joy.
The people who have been busy for a year can finally relax at this time, and the officials who have been busy for a year can finally take a break.
The Chang'an train station was very busy that day because many officials who had arrived in Chang'an had not yet moved their families from Guanyun City or Jinling City. During the fifteen-day rest period, many of them had to go back to reunite with their families.
Wei Chang, the former Minister of Works, was one of them.
He retired from the position of Minister of Works and is now a cabinet staff member.
He submitted his resignation to the emperor, who had already approved it. However, he stayed in Chang'an for a few more days before setting off to return to Guanyun City.
After leaving the Ministry of Industry where he had worked for many years, he felt lost and depressed.
Sitting on the train, looking at the receding scenery outside the window, he felt a little unwilling, but helpless.
He arrived at Guanyun City on the night of December 29th in the third year of Daxia. He did not notify his family to come and greet him, but instead called a carriage and went back alone.
The carriage entered Guanyun City and drove for a long time with twists and turns. He kept looking out the window, looking at the beautiful night scenery of Guanyun City and the bustling crowd. Suddenly, he felt that such bustle belonged to them, while he... his heart was actually filled with sadness.
How should I tell my wife and children when I get back?
What should I do to make money in the future?
After being an official for so many years, he suddenly found that he seemed to have no ability to make money. What should he do?
Although the emperor said that he can still receive a pension, can that pension support his family?
Wei Chang did not notice that the carriage was not heading to his home, but to another place in Guanyun City - Yanhua Alley.
This place is very secluded and it is not a slum. Instead, all the people living here are wealthy.
He just felt that the journey was a bit long. When the carriage stopped and he got off, he looked around blankly - there were lights, but the streets were dark and dense, completely different from the small bridge alley where his home was.
He was startled and was about to ask the driver something, but he didn't expect the driver to suddenly smile and hit him with a knife. His eyes turned black and he fainted.
The driver carried him through a door.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly woke up and saw an extremely exquisite rosewood coffee table and a person sitting opposite the coffee table.
woman.
A woman around thirty years old.
He frowned and the woman looked up.
"Wei Chang, the Minister of Works, is forty-six years old and has been in the Ministry of Works for twenty-three years."
The woman stood up and said, "When Daxia was first established, you were the Minister of Works. You have served Daxia diligently for so many years. Now that the young emperor doesn't want you anymore, you have no choice but to return home in disgrace like a dog."
"Are you feeling lost?"
"Do you think the little emperor is too ruthless?"
"Only the heartless and ungrateful little emperor would do something like crossing a river and destroying the bridge."
Wei Chang had been staring at the woman, and only now asked, "Who are you?"
