It is impossible to let five thousand people go at once. It would be disastrous if they gathered together to cause trouble and wreak havoc on the village.
Therefore, they had to take the official documents from the county government and return home together.
The five thousand people can be settled slowly, but the remaining ten thousand people need to be stabilized immediately.
"Military orders are like mountains. What happens if you disobey them?"
"kill!"
"If there are people among you who have your parents, wives, and children, and someone insults your parents or takes your wife and daughters for granted, what should you do?"
"kill!"
"You are His Majesty's soldiers and will stand with His Majesty's dignity. What will happen to those who disrespect His Majesty?"
"kill!"
“Kill, kill, kill!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Yang Jun held high the imperial banner: "Long live Her Majesty the Empress!"
Xiao Li stood on the high platform, feeling deeply moved by Yang Jun's growth. Beside him, Wang Wanqing and Hong Yue shouted at the top of their lungs, "Kill, kill, kill!"
Xiao Li couldn't help laughing and turned back to see how passionately they were shouting.
Zi Yue was no less impressive, dressed in silver armor, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, shouting until his face turned red.
From this we can see that Yang Jun is very good at brainwashing.
However, the military's morale was temporarily restored, but the implementation of the policy encountered difficulties.
Ninety-nine percent of these soldiers are illiterate and need to be explained repeatedly through word of mouth.
Xiao Li suddenly remembered two words from a long time ago - literacy.
Soldiers only need to be able to fight, and whether or not they can read is not actually a big problem in this world. But if you want to improve the army to a higher level and have strict discipline, then literacy is actually necessary.
At least all the Silver Armor Guards can read now. In the reserve camp, even if you have high martial arts skills, you cannot wear silver armor if you cannot learn to read.
But this is a very long process, and it requires a lot of effort and time. When I think about having to come up with plans, spend money and effort later, my head hurts.
Suddenly I felt like my whole body was about to break apart...
Why would she do this in another world?
It's simply a matter of time before your head is filled with water.
She is a half-perfectionist. She either doesn't do something or does it well.
But she came to kill Xu Nianqing, not to change the cultural process of the times.
But she is the empress, and she has things to deal with, and she has to solve any problems she sees.
“…” A long silence.
Every time she realized how backward this world was, she wanted to split it back.
She is rich and powerful, and lives a free and easy life. Her wealth is enough for her to squander for a lifetime. She only needs to choose capable managers, and her wealth will continue to increase and she will never be able to spend it all.
Only a fool would come to this backward civilized world to be the empress.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After realizing that he almost lost control, Xiao Li laughed at himself.
She is becoming more and more useless. Now anything can make her lose control of her emotions.
My mind went crazy, but after calming down, I still had to do what I had to do.
There is no need to rush literacy campaigns, let’s deal with the issues at hand first.
Suddenly I missed Song Junzhan so much. I could just leave the tasks that a civil official should do to him, but he is not around now.
Hey!
Xiao Li's gaze passed by the door and suddenly stopped. Look, she discovered something.
"Wang Wanqing."
Hearing Xiao Li's call, Wang Wanqing immediately came in: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Li looked at her obedient face and thought she didn't look like a civil servant capable of doing great things. However, a sharp sword is forged through continuous sharpening.
"I want to give you an important task."
Wang Wanqing's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, please give your orders."
Xiao Li told her about the literacy campaign and the importance of it. To be fair, he arranged a sixth-rank official position for her, a literary education officer.
Wang Wanqing immediately patted her chest and promised, her blood boiling and her eyes firm as if she was swearing: "I will never let your majesty down."
Yeah, finally I have an official position and can pay my respects to you!
Xiao Li arranged some staff for her and left her alone, letting her be liberated.
As an emperor, you can't do everything yourself. Even if your subordinates are not capable, they must learn to be capable. Let's work hard.
-----
It took Rong Qing one day to capture Changzhou, but two days to clean up the mess.
After everything was arranged, he rode his horse to Yanping Prefecture at full speed overnight.
He hurried into the gate and knelt down in front of Xiao Li.
"The guilty minister Rong Qing comes to apologize!"
Xiao Li's heart froze when he heard the hoarse and stiff voice: "Look up."
Rong Qing was silent for two breaths before slowly looking up. The moment he saw clearly, Xiao Li's pupils trembled. His unexpected premonition finally came true.
The right half of Rong Qing's face began to crack. Although his right eye was still moving, the white of his eye was bloodshot and black and red, and his pupil had turned gray.
Although the left side of his face looked normal, there was a crack from his ear to his chin.
Rong Qing lowered his head sadly: "I am guilty and have offended Your Majesty."
Xiao Li pursed her lips and asked him to sit next to her: "Tell me about what happened that day."
Rong Qing: "I led my men to Taiping City and entered the city smoothly with the military token. Just as I was about to lead my troops to leave, they suddenly sprinkled drug powder from above. I realized something was wrong and rushed out desperately, but I was still too late. The people who were contaminated by the drug were stiff and couldn't move at all."
"They put their subordinates in cages and fed them some kind of drug. Some of them turned into monsters not long after, and even opened their mouths to eat people."
"Brothers came to rescue us. Although we killed those people from Taiping City along the way and successfully led the troops away, many of our brothers turned into monsters and sought death, and they still died at the hands of our own people."
Rong Qing said excitedly, "Your Majesty, this poison is very strange. Once contaminated, one will have a strong bloodlust. The fact that I can stand before Your Majesty now... is because my brothers fed me with a bowl of blood each."
His voice was hoarse and choked with pain.
He knelt again and said, "I don't know how much longer I can live, but I don't want to drink my brothers' blood anymore, nor do I want to become a monster. I beg Your Majesty... to grant me death."
He could commit suicide, but he would have to come back and give an explanation to His Majesty.
He was not afraid of death, but he had one last wish: to die at the hands of Your Majesty.
His life was given by Your Majesty, and he swore allegiance to Your Majesty with his life, so his death should be decided by Your Majesty.
Xiao Li stretched out his hand, but Rong Qing quickly moved away: "Your Majesty, don't touch it, it's poisonous."
Xiao Li held his face firmly, his terrifying features reflected in his pupils: "Don't worry, the poison won't kill me."
Xiao Li wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips: "You are my general, you cannot die easily, but if it really comes to the last step, I will kill you with my own hands."
She pulled up Rong Qing's cloak to cover his head and stood up: "Come, prepare the chains!"
Rong Qing was willing to be locked up, locked tightly with more than a dozen iron chains. Behind him was a huge stone, and silver-armored guards were guarding him, and no one was allowed to approach.
On one hand, Xiao Li sent people to Taiping City to find the person who poisoned Rong Qing, fearing that they would kill him. On the other hand, she also asked people to prepare carriages and reorganize the troops. The remnants of the Yue Kingdom and the escaped King Xian would not be able to make a difference for the time being, so she had to go to the Southern Region to find a wizard to detoxify Rong Qing.
Rong Qing can't die here.
Just as Xiao Li was about to leave, the guard came to report: "Your Majesty, Lu Ling requests an audience!"
