Chapter 88

【The leader of the Jin Wu Guard was a young and gloomy big man.】

【His eight-character beard added a bit of majesty, making people feel awe.】

【He was born in poverty, originally just an ordinary horse-raising slave in the Second Imperial Prince's mansion.】

【However!】

【He relied on his exquisite horse-raising skills, and also studied military strategy in the horse farm at night, was appreciated by Zhou Zhen, and gradually emerged.】

【He followed the Second Imperial Prince all the way to grow, helping him successfully seize the throne, and made great contributions.】

【In the battle of Wang Yang's rebellion, he made many military achievements and performed outstandingly.】

【He once publicly stated: "Lu Chen, Tuoba Tuoba Shuyi, Jiang Yafu, Peng Gu, Yu Yu Shuihan, these people will be wiped out in a conversation."】

【Except for Lu Chen and Tuoba Tuoba Shuyi, the others are powerful generals of Chu, Han, and Between Qianyuan.】

【He was extremely cold-blooded, and once pitted and killed 30,000 civilians. This behavior made his reputation in the court very poor and controversial.】

【But he was loyal to Zhou Zhen.】

【The Son of Heaven valued him highly, entrusted him with important tasks, and made him the leader of the Jin Wu Guard.】

【He was not yet thirty years old, but he was a second-rank official.】

【Name: Dong Jie.】

【At this time!】

【He did not wear heavy armor, but wore chain armor.】

【A pair of eyes, looking deeply at you.】

【Zhou Zhen successively formed two elite guards, Jin Wu and Yulin, after ascending the throne.】

【Most of the soldiers of the Jin Wu Guard were adopted and trained from the children of soldiers who died in battle. They were called "Jin Wu Orphans" and were originally supposed to be led by the Minister of the Imperial Guard, responsible for the duties of the inner court guards.】

【However!】

【Zhou Zhen specially set up the position of Jin Wu Guard Commander, appointed Dong Jie as the leader, and gave him a second-rank grade, holding great power.】

【Only subject to the Son of Heaven's dispatch!】

【The Yulin Army was an elite force composed of good family children who were good at riding and shooting from border counties such as Longxi and the north, also known as Yulin Warriors or Qimen Lang, with a number of up to a thousand.】

【Their main task is to "wait at the palace gate," "hold weapons and follow," and protect the safety of royal family members. The head of the Yulin Army was initially a servant, served by good family children from the six northwestern counties.】

【Both departments are loyal to Zhou Zhen.】

【After Zhou Zhen succeeded to the throne, he used his high-level means to quickly gather a group of forces that followed him wholeheartedly, and many factions in the court were divided and disintegrated by him】

【The Second Imperial Prince who was not favored back then showed his power and means not inferior to the late emperor.】

【At the same time, the Eighth Imperial Prince Jing in Jiangbei rested and recuperated, changed the government soldier system, re-enabled military generals, and in a few years made the territory take on a new look, and his prestige in Jiangbei rose day by day.】

【And the Sixth Imperial Prince Zhou Xuan, who called himself the Heavenly King, also carried out major reforms in Hexi.】

【He re-opened the imperial examination, raised cold scholars to the cabinet, changed the rituals of the court, broke the old aristocratic monopoly, provided opportunities for children of cold families to rise, and the Hexi region showed a scene of waiting for prosperity.】

【On the contrary, Zhou Zhen was served by the Empress Dowager according to the old system, the court restrained Zhou Zhen, and the Jiangnan region of the Great Qing followed the old rituals.】

【The three imperial princes are all ambitious and have a heart for development.】

【Folk nursery rhyme "Four dragons of the Great Qing in the same court, exhausted the luck of the Great Qing for four hundred years."】

【Today, the Jin Wu Guard and the Yulin Army acted together.】

【The Jin Wu Guard broke into the Western Depot, while the Yulin Army was responsible for the periphery and support of the Western Depot.】

【Already successfully killed more than 1,000 people in the Western Depot, the Jin Wu Guards all cut off heads and hung them on their waists.】

【In the forbidden army of the Great Qing, the calculation method of military merit is based on the number of heads seen, not counted by superiors, reported by oneself, and counted by heads.】

【This system is said to have been established by Dong Jie, and the effect was immediate.】

【Under this system, soldiers will fight bravely to compete for military merit, which makes the army under his command unusually brave, worthy of being a tiger division.】

【As the Jin Wu Guard slowly surrounded.】

【Lu Yu just snorted coldly.】

【Although the sound was low, it was like a muffled thunder in the field, carrying a majestic majesty that captured people's souls.】

【Several enemies in the front row, after hearing this cold snort, seemed to be hit by an invisible giant stone, their faces instantly flushed, the weapons in their hands fell off, their legs softened, and they knelt on the ground, panting.】

【However, this influence seemed to be limited to a range of more than a zhang.】

【The rest were not injured.】

【However, the soldiers were also much more cautious and didn't dare to approach easily.】

【Dong Jie, however, turned a deaf ear to this.】

【His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, tightly locked on you.】

【Seemingly trying to capture any changes from your face.】

【And you were an indifferent expression.】

【You could see that his cultivation was already in the Grandmaster realm.】

【You know people, you see hostility in his heart.】

【Although you two are indeed meeting for the first time, you can feel an inexplicable hostility from him towards you.】

【This feeling has no reason, but it is extremely strong.】

【Dong Jie suddenly smiled and said in a deep voice:】

【"Retreat, don't disturb the Junior Guardian."】

【A group of Jin Wu Guards obeyed, but their eyes had a look of inquiry.】

【Is this middle-aged man the Lu family Junior Guardian from the north back then.】

【Looks quite ordinary.】

【Most of the Jin Wu Guard soldiers are young people, and few have experienced the war of Northern Wind.】

【The rumor of "shaking the mountain is easy, shaking the Lu family army is difficult!"】

【In their eyes, they only felt that the court back then was weak, and the emperor valued literature over martial arts.】

【Today's Son of Heaven values military equipment, and it is different from the past.】

【A rebellion of the righteous army should have made the Jin Wu Guard famous all over the world.】

【But back then, the Lu family army beheaded 300,000 Northern Wind iron cavalry, but it was rarely mentioned.】

【The Jin Wu Guard had long been indignant.】

【Northern Wind is just a nomadic tribe in a bitter cold place, the Northern Barbarians of Liaodong!】

【Now let them go south, do they dare?】

【The Lu family army was just in a good era!】

【Now mentioning Northern Wind, the two countries are already allies.】

【In the history beautified by Jiangnan scholars, the two countries are just "misunderstandings," and they have long been repaired.】

【In the teahouses and wine shops of Jiangnan, Northern Wind merchants are always the most popular, and the trade between the two countries also makes their relationship seem intimate, even crowned with the name of "brothers."】

【Making a ten-thousand-generation marriage, many capital residents talk and laugh, Northern Wind's princess is going to marry the Great Qing this year.】

【And!】

【Between Qianyuan has the intention to annex the four countries, so the friendship between Northern Wind and Great Qing is very important.】

【The battle between the Lu family army and the Northern Wind Iron Pagoda, eight thousand against thirty thousand, but winning with less, was pushed as wild history by the scholars of Jiangnan, exaggerating.】

【Just bragging too much!】

【The so-called Lu family army was just praised by the northern people, "spreading rumors."】

【You looked faintly, and from the eyes of a group of Jin Wu Guards, you saw contempt.】

【Dong Jie took out an imperial decree, stood on the steps, and looked down:】

【"Junior Guardian, kneel down and receive the decree."】
