Chapter 761: Ling Chen's Confusion

At this moment, just like the entirety of the Southern Barbarian Lands, Central Asia was also engulfed in the flames of war.

After occupying Delhi, Ling Chen began the process of purging the local governors and lords.

Of course, the Indian Continent is vast; it is unrealistic to think of purging everyone.

Thus, just as things had stabilized, Ling Chen was actually somewhat lost. Because in this instant, he had become the new master of Delhi, something he had absolutely never anticipated before.

What should be done next?

The Young Master has no instructions.

For a moment, he panicked. Only then did he realize how significant the role of a group's leader truly is. After he was injured in the Western Regions, he was absolutely a qualified—one could even say the most qualified in the history of the Western Regions—Yanqi Prefect; to put it broadly, what he exercised was essentially the duties of the Western Regions Protectorate.

He had to manage the entire Western Regions.

However.

His management of the Western Regions over these years had all followed the guidelines given to him by Liu Zheng. From the management system, the incentive system, the Point System, to the arrangement of official positions, Liu Zheng had arranged almost everything down to the smallest detail, and Ling Chen only needed to follow his guidelines. Of course, when governing the Western Regions, Ling Chen had once questioned some of Liu Zheng's instructions and orders, and had even ignored Liu Zheng's arrangements to do things according to his own ideas.

But facts proved that he had nearly walked into a dead end, and later, continuing to follow the Young Master's guidelines made the Western Regions unprecedentedly powerful.

Since then, Ling Chen never tinkered on his own again.

The Western Regions grew stronger and stronger, and his conviction in the Young Master grew deeper and deeper.

He himself, naturally, would not be slack in his actions, but in his thinking, he had become accustomed to relying on the Young Master's instructions.

Yet now...

No instructions?

In his heart, Ling Chen was both panicked and happy, but he was still lost.

He had suddenly become the master of these three hundred thousand troops?

This was, of course, a good thing... who doesn't want to be a ruler?

But...

How should he operate next?

With a wave of his hand, Ling Chen summoned all the strategists under his command. But at this moment, he was even more bewildered. Because this time, he was leading a great army to conquer Central Asia; everyone he brought was a military general, and there were almost no civil officials under his command, as they had all been left at the Western Regions Protectorate.

With the Western Regions Protectorate being converted into a Governor's Office, the incoming governor would naturally not let go of this group of officials who had experience in office and management in the Western Regions.

Looking at the group of military generals gathered here, Ling Chen rubbed his temples hard: "Everyone, it has been so many days, have you not come up with any plan yet?"

Someone immediately said: "Lord Ling, why think so much! Just do it! Let's conquer the entire Indian Continent first!"

"Exactly, kill, kill them all, burn them all, loot them all!"

"Why keep these barbarians..."

Ling Chen had a headache and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, alright, shut up... are there any other opinions?"

Kill them all?

The reason they could firmly occupy Delhi now was because the interior of India was in chaos. If there were no religious strife within India and they could truly unite, their three hundred thousand people would not be enough for this population of eight million to deal with... Kill them all? This was certainly unrealistic.

Moreover, if they killed them all, what would they do with such a continent?

"My Lord, my opinion is, why don't we establish our own kingdom, as it is the mandate of heaven..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ling Chen's face darkened again.

It was getting more and more outrageous...

Establish a kingdom?

Is establishing a kingdom such a simple matter? They do not have the faces of the locals; once you establish a kingdom, it will only provoke more hostility from these Indian governors.

Although Ling Chen was warlike, he had never really thought about being any kind of emperor.

"Establishing a kingdom is absolutely not allowed! My Lord, we must hold high the Longyan Flag to remain invincible!"

An older general said.

Everyone nodded one after another, expressing their agreement.

To put it bluntly, what are their three hundred thousand troops to Central Asia? It's not a small number, but it's not a large one either. Once they lose the protection of "Longyan" as a great celestial empire, it is very easy to trigger a backlash from everyone that very day, including the governors of the Indian Continent, the Putu Kingdom, the Kokand Khanate, the Khiva Khanate, and the Savi Dynasty... If you are no longer the army of Longyan, why should we give you any face?

It would be one thing if you weren't from Longyan, but as an outsider, you still want to establish a kingdom?

Being attacked by everyone is an inevitable outcome.

"My Lord, I think we should unite with the local warlords and plan slowly, first stabilizing the Indian Continent, and then..."

"No, I think we should unite with the Putu Kingdom, on one hand to partition India, and on the other to take down the Kokand Khanate!"

In the office, they were arguing in a mess.

Everyone had their own reasons.

Ling Chen felt somewhat annoyed, stood up, walked out slowly, and gazed into the distance toward the east.

He did not quite understand.

What did the Young Master mean by this?

Providing him with unlimited Weaponry and Equipment and initial provisions, yet never giving him any instructions again.

Unlike the excitement he felt when he first arrived here, ready to display his grand ambitions and soar like a bird in the vast sky.

At this moment, a trace of grievance actually appeared in Ling Chen's heart.

"Imperial Jade Seal, Imperial Jade Seal..."

On the surface of the Nanyang sea, one hundred Warships were sailing in calm weather.

When Xie Chengqian saw the contents of the letter, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

In fact, compared to others, these four words were the greatest stimulation to him.

Imperial Jade Seal!

The Longyan Dynasty was previously the possessor of the Imperial Jade Seal, which was later passed into the hands of the Tang King... But after the Tang King ascended the throne and passed away, the country fell into chaos, the Imperial Jade Seal was lost, and only then did the branch of the Xie Family to which Xie Tianyao's ancestors belonged seize the opportunity to rise to power, driving the remnants of the Great Tang to Nanyang...

The Imperial Jade Seal!

In Xie Chengqian's understanding, the Imperial Jade Seal belonged to his own family!

Is it heaven's will?

He looked out at the vast ocean; at this moment, they were getting closer and closer to the Longyan Dynasty.

Now he had strong soldiers and sturdy horses, now he had countless capable generals, and now he was filled with burning passion!

Longyan!

It was the Longyan of his branch of the Xie Family! This time, he must lead his great army to completely take back Longyan! Starting from Liaodong to gain a firm foothold, if he could obtain the Imperial Jade Seal this time, it would mean the legitimacy of the imperial power of his branch of the Xie Family... By then, with a single rallying cry, the entire Longyan would flock to his side.

Xie Tianyao...

Are you ready?

"Pass down the order, accelerate and advance!"

Xie Chengqian, in a rare display of high spirits, roared into the sea breeze.

"Yes!"

"His Majesty has ordered, accelerate and advance!"

"Accelerate!"

One hundred Warships, vast in scale, blotted out the sky and covered the sun.

The three hundred thousand soldiers on the ships were also each filled with excitement.

Are we going home?

Longyan.

We are coming back.
