Chapter 1064: The Vice Commander-in-Chief bows!
With Great Xia’s strength, it was enough to support these soldiers and horses. They could also do other things.
Where did the silver come from?
Salt, tea, silk, porcelain, and the Academy were just ordinary industries. Although the profits they earned were abundant, they could not support so many soldiers and let the imperial court do other things.
They were all supported by their pillar industries, which were controlled by the imperial court. There were spirit herbs, pills, ores, materials, and so on. The biggest income was still demons, monsters, ferocious beasts, and True Spirits. Any True Spirit caught was full of treasures. Blood essence, claws, eyes, scales, and so on. Every single one of them was priceless, and they could earn a huge amount of silver.
The army of the Shang Dynasty was similar. It could only be said that the dynasty was the only one who was rich and powerful. It was far from what small countries and small clans could compare to.
Previously, Prince Feng Yi and Princess Feng He of Nanman Kingdom had died one after another. Pei Caicai’s power wasn’t as great as it was now, yet he was able to stand against Prime Minister Feng Zhengyi. This was all because of Great Xia’s strength. The latter had to act like a coward and bow down to him.
It was broken down.
Each camp was divided into five armies, which were different from ordinary armies. The regular armies were also called small armies. For example, the Fifth Division of City Defense had a total of five armies, each with 20,000 soldiers. The armies in the five camps were large armies, each with 200,000 soldiers, and under them were ten small armies.
The highest-ranking generals of the five camps were called the Vice Commanders, commonly known as the Five Great Vice Commanders. Above them was the Heavenly Strategy Marshal Bai Jingyuan, who commanded all the troops of the Great Xia Dynasty. He was like a god of war.
Each vice marshal had a special military title. Below them were the highest-ranking generals and deputy generals of the five armies, and below them were the main generals and deputy generals of the small armies.
The Flying Cavalry General Army also had a special military organization called the General Qingfeng Division, which specialized in training soldiers and horses. Zhang Ronghua was the chief officer, and his subordinates were the deputies.
Otherwise, no matter how capable and energetic he was, he would not be able to complete it without eating or sleeping.
Very quickly.
They stopped outside a large tent. This was the tent of Shen Qingzhi, the deputy commander of Tianyang. There was a group of personal guards guarding outside. They had profound cultivation and were powerful. From their sharp eyes, they were like cold swords. With a single order, they could kill a strong enemy.
Shen Polu stepped forward.” Chief Zhang is here. Please inform the Deputy Commander.”
Sima was called Zhang Zhange. He was a martial arts expert. He glanced at Zhang Ronghua and said coldly,” Wait a moment!”
He turned around and entered the tent.
“I’ll go back first,” said Shen Polu.
Zhang Ronghua waved his hand and waited patiently with his hands behind his back.
In the tent.
There was an old man with white hair and a kind face. He had a long beard and looked like a scholar. He wore a green robe and looked very ordinary without any patterns. He was Shen Qingzhi, the highest commander of the ZhongTian camp. He had the reputation of the [Confucian Marshal] and was not like the other generals who were filled with killing intent.
However, in the outside world, especially to the generals of the Shang Dynasty, he was a nightmarish existence. He was intelligent and had strong methods. In the war ten years ago, he had killed 100,000 enemies.
His strategy was to eliminate the root of the problem and kill the last enemy. Only then would Great Xia be at peace. No matter who it was, including demons and ghosts, once they fell into his hands, death would be a blessing.
Sitting on the soft couch, his back was straight like a sharp sword as he read the military book.
” Commander Zhang.” Zhang Zhange opened the curtain and entered. He respectfully cupped his fists and saluted.” Reporting to the vice commander, Commander Zhang is here.”
Shen Qingzhi sensed that besides being a general, he was also a Spirit Master with a very high cultivation. Otherwise, even if he had the protection of powerhouses, he would not be able to avoid assassination after assassination.
Moreover…
Other than their daily training, the generals in the army spent the rest of their time cultivating. Basically, their cultivation was extraordinary.
He put down the military book and was quite surprised.
It had been such a long time since the reward had been given. Logically speaking, he should have come long ago, but he had just happened to show up now.
“Let him in,” he said with a smile.
They entered the tent.
“Greetings, Deputy Commander!” Zhang Ronghua cupped his fists and bowed.
He sized him up. He looked talented and had an extraordinary aura.
” Thank you!” Shen Qingzhi stood up and bowed solemnly.” This bow is on behalf of all the soldiers of Great Xia. Thank you for developing the Flame Thunder Pearl and 197 spiritual items!”
“No!”
“You can afford it,” Shen Qingzhi said.
He pointed at the soft bed beside him.
“Sit!”
Zhang Ronghua sat down.
Shen Qingzhi said,” I’ve petitioned His Majesty to transfer you into the army more than once, but I didn’t succeed. Fortunately, hard work pays off. Finally, it has come. With your talent, the soldiers you train must be extraordinary.”
“You flatter me.”
Shen Qingzhi pulled a long face and pretended to be unhappy.” The military is not like officialdom. Don’t do all that nonsense. If you can do it, then you can. If you can’t, then you can’t!” If you have the ability, don’t hide it. The stage here is very big. Just bring it out.”
“I’ll do my best,” said Zhang Ronghua.
“That’s more like it!”
They chatted for a while.
Shen Qingzhi summoned Zhang Zhange and brought Zhang Ronghua to the Green Edge Division.
The news of his arrival spread like a gust of wind.
In the central tent of the Eastern Army.
This was the tent of Guo Tianchou, who was in charge of two hundred thousand soldiers.
” Greetings, General!” Man Feihu, the trusted deputy general, came in quickly from outside. He cupped his fists and bowed.
“What’s the matter?” Guo Tianchou asked casually as he drank his tea.
“Zhang Ronghua is here.”
Shua!
The atmosphere changed. It was cold and murderous, as if they were in an abyss. It was terrifyingly cold.
“Isn’t he in Shangjing?” Guo Tianchou’s eyes flashed coldly.
“I think the matter at the government office is almost settled,” said Man Feihu.
