I travel through the heavens as a human being

Chapter 213 Xu Fu’s bad taste

Of course, Xu Yang had to hold back, otherwise we don’t know how many people would have been killed or injured.

However, this only makes people lose their combat effectiveness, but it cannot hurt or kill people. This will put Xu Yang to a greater test. He is always in a state of mental vigilance. Pay attention to the angle of the attack and the strength of his hands. To control it just right, you have to face the attacks from all around.

Under such indiscriminate conditions, even if the world's top masters come, they can only last for a dozen rounds at most before they lose energy and can't hold on anymore. Even if the top masters come, they can't hold on. More than a hundred rounds is considered pretty good.

But for Xu Yang, a great innate with three treasures in one, such a move is not much of a burden.

Along the way, no one could catch him, and no one could stop his progress. Those who were defeated by him only temporarily lost their fighting power.

After knocking more than 500 people to the ground again, the soldiers in the 3,000 battalion looked at Xu Yang with a hint of fear.

You know, only a quarter of an hour has passed since Xu Yang started challenging all the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion, but there are already more than a thousand people who have fallen in Xu Yang's hands, accounting for the entire Three Thousand Battalion. One-fifth of the soldiers in the battalion, and now Xu Yang is not blushing, not panting, and does not look tired at all.

It would be difficult for even the overlord of Western Chu during the Qin and Han Dynasties to achieve such a record.

How could such an inhuman scene not frighten the remaining people? Many soldiers now believed that Xu Yang was the incarnation of something inhuman, and he was not a human being anyway.

You must know that this is the feudal era, and superstition has not yet been eradicated.

And it's no wonder that these soldiers were afraid. In addition to Xu Yang's amazing record, it was also related to the quality of the soldiers themselves and the ideological construction of the army.

In modern times, some people have calculated that most armies in ancient times suffered losses of more than 10% and basically collapsed completely. Even the most famous armies in history can persist until they lose 20 to 30%, except for special units.

Now the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion have lost 10%, and the reason why they have not collapsed is not because they are elites, but because they have only one opponent. With the mentality of being outnumbered, their morale is not good. So easy to collapse.

But even so, no matter how good their mentality is, they cannot guarantee that their combat effectiveness will not be reduced after losing % of their troops. Especially the soldiers in the front, they are the ones who can best appreciate Xu Yang's power. .

At this time, Xu Yang also noticed that the frequency of attacks by the soldiers dropped sharply, and the number of weapons that attacked also decreased a lot.

Taking the time to look up, he caught the frightened eyes of the soldiers. With his mind racing, Xu Yang instantly understood the reason and was immediately a little angry.

After "sweeping thousands of armies" with one move, violent energy was released, directly forcing the soldiers around Xu Yang who were attacking him to retreat five steps.

I saw Xu Yang standing in the field, pointing his iron rod forward and roaring:

"I'm just one person, and there are five thousand of you!"

"Is this how you go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"You trash! You losers! You knocked me down, but you still have one hundred taels of gold to take!"

"If you were hit by me, you won't die anyway! What are you afraid of! A bunch of idiots!"

With the blessing of inner strength, the roar spread throughout the entire military camp and school grounds, and also made the soldiers who were originally afraid become angry and greedy for money.

They also thought clearly at this time: Yes, this person is only one person, no matter how hard he can beat him, there are four thousand people on their side, and one person can drown him with just a spit of spit.

And after knocking this man down, he will have a hundred taels of gold. The most important thing is that you don’t have to worry about casualties when fighting with this man. Didn’t you see that none of the people he knocked down before died, and they didn’t even bleed? It just hurts for a while. For one hundred taels of gold, it was worth it.

And Xu Yang's angry curses not only boosted the morale of the remaining soldiers, but also many of the soldiers who were defeated by him before gritted their teeth for the one hundred taels of gold, stood up in pain, and prepared to join the battle again. .

When Xu Yang saw this situation, he was very happy. This is the best way, so that the beating can be enjoyable, and only in this way can these people be convinced.

A more intense battle broke out than before. This time, the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion showed no fear and no tricks. They were all as ferocious as hungry tigers pouncing on prey.

But even though they were like this, they could still hear Xu Yang's shouts:

"Hurry! Hurry up! Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Think about how much meat you can sell with those one hundred taels of gold! How much wine you can drink! What a nice house you can build! What a beautiful wife you can marry!"

The soldiers who besieged Xu Yang, after hearing Xu Yang's shouts, felt that the one hundred taels of gold were right in front of their eyes. The golden color made their whole bodies full of strength and gave full play to one hundred percent. Twenty combat power.

An hour later, except for Xu Yang, no one could stand in the entire campus of the Three Thousand Battalion. All the soldiers were lying on the campus and groaning.

And now Xu Yang is just a little out of breath and his face is a little rosy, as if the battle just warmed him up.

The soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion lying on the ground looked at Xu Yang, the only one standing in the field, and felt that this man was no longer a human being, but an inhuman existence like a god or a demon.

In fact, at the end of the fight, all the soldiers were no longer for the one hundred taels of gold, but were determined to knock Xu Yang down and see where Xu Yang's limit was.

It's a pity that they didn't see Xu Yang's limit after all, but instead saw their own limit.

It can be said that after this battle, all the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion were convinced by Xu Yang, the new admiral. Even the confidants of the former admiral could only watch helplessly as Xu Yang reduced the morale of the Three Thousand Battalion. Conquer.

The situation was stronger than the people, especially with Xu Yang's domineering attitude, they really couldn't think of and dared to stop him.

"It seems you can't take away these one hundred taels of gold."

Xu Yang glanced at the soldiers lying on the ground in the campus, reached out and took out two large golden ingots from his arms, and weighed them one after another in his hands.

The golden ingot, under the sunlight, reflected the golden light even more intensely, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the venue, causing everyone's eyes to rise and fall along with the ups and downs of the golden ingot.

Click!

The two gold ingots collided together and made a crisp sound, but they did not fall to the ground. Instead, they were grabbed by Xu Yang and held high. Xu Yang continued to say,

"But I am not a stingy person. Now that I have taken out the money, I have no intention of taking it back. I will use it to buy meat and give everyone extra food in the evening."

As Xu Yang's voice fell, the cheers of the soldiers came from the field. After all, one hundred taels of gold can sell a lot of meat, and they will also be able to eat a lot. This is certainly worth being happy about.

Beat them up and give them a delicious meal. Isn't this a combination of carrot and stick? Although it is not very clever and even a little rough, this set is very easy to use and the effect is very significant.

Of course, no one has seen through it, but no one has spoken out. In this case, what is the benefit of speaking out?It might also reach Xu Yang's ears. Isn't this uncomfortable?

At this point, it can be said that Xu Yang has established his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion, and has initially held this army in his hands.

And just when Xu Yang was showing off his power on the campus of the Three Thousand Battalion and winning over the morale of the troops, many people among the nobles in the capital had already begun to take action.

As nobles of the Ming Dynasty, although they have lost the glory of their ancestors, they are still not provocative by anyone.

What's more, the three major camps in the capital are their private areas and the foundation of their lives.

Now the emperor suddenly imprisoned the three thousand battalion admirals without any warning, and on such a ridiculous charge of corruption.

I would like to ask which official in the court is not corrupt. It's just a matter of corruption. Not only do they know this, they also know that the emperor also knows it.

And what made them most angry was that the emperor also gave the position of admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion to Xu Yang, a national advisor who appeared out of nowhere. Naturally, the nobles were unwilling to give up their power easily, so they were dragged away like this. Walk.

Moreover, Xu Yang, the national preceptor, was granted the title of Marquis of Wu by the emperor, which made the nobles jealous.

You must know that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty still cherished their titles. Except for the two large-scale knighthoods during the founding of the country and Jingnan, the others were knighted by marriage, and there were only a handful of others who were knighted because of their merits.

But now, Xu Yang has obtained the position of Wuhou for nothing, and this is still a one-character marquis, which is more noble than the ordinary two-character Duke. How can this not make people jealous and make people crazy with jealousy.

It was precisely for these reasons that the nobles' mentality was unbalanced, and they all gathered in the British Palace to discuss countermeasures.

But just when they were discussing countermeasures and thinking about how to get Xu Yang down, a piece of news came out that forced them to postpone all actions.

Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, resigned due to illness.

This is not a small matter. You must know that the chief minister of the cabinet is already at the pinnacle of officials. It can be said that one person is less than ten thousand people and has great power.

But Yang Tinghe actually wants to resign at this time, which has to make people think deeply.

No one believed that he was sick. You must know that a few days ago, Yang Tinghe was chatting and laughing with the officials in the court. At that time, his face was glowing, his waist was straight, and there was no sign of illness.

Moreover, there were rumors that just one day before Yang Tinghe resigned, he was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor. The two talked for an entire afternoon, but no news came out about what they talked about specifically.

After all, since Zhu Houzhao recovered from his serious illness after falling into the water, he has strengthened his control over everyone in the palace, cut off the connection between the outside and the palace, and at the same time ruthlessly punished those officials who inquired about the palace.

The day after being summoned by Zhu Houzhao, the chief minister of the cabinet resigned due to illness, which made people have to connect the two things together.

However, no one could guess what Zhu Houzhao's intention was, and Yang Tinghe's house was closed to outsiders, and no news was spread.

Faced with such a strange situation, the nobles just don't like Xu Yang anymore. At this stage, they can only take action and wait and see first.

After all, no one is willing to take the initiative to jump out without understanding His Majesty the Emperor's plans, especially those nobles who have experienced many emperors. Even the most reckless people have been tempered.

The rise of the nobles now relies on the support of Zhu Houzhao, an emperor who loves martial arts. It is impossible for them to go against the emperor.

After Yang Tinghe submitted his resignation three times, Zhu Houzhao also agreed to the resignation of the chief minister of the cabinet, but he also gave Yang Tinghe many things as a show of favor and allowed him to return to his hometown.

After Yang Tinghe left the court, his vacant position as chief assistant once again aroused the thoughts of the court officials.

After all, this is the pinnacle of officials. Anyone who is qualified wants to compete for it. But for those who are not qualified, who doesn’t want the boss they support to become the chief minister, so the court officials are fighting for it. Not open to trade.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao announced another major event. Among the six departments of the imperial court, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office were abolished, and the Military Machinery Pavilion was established to be in charge of the imperial military affairs and directly responsible to the emperor.

In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture was established, with the same position as the Sixth Ministry, to advocate the construction of farmland water conservancy and agricultural tax revenue for the court.

Zhu Houzhao's series of actions made the court officials even more confused. They didn't know what the emperor was going to do.

However, judging from Zhu Houzhao's series of actions, they vaguely realized that Zhu Houzhao had a big plan.

But now, the civil servants have to stand up.

Because the Ministry of War cannot be abolished, this department is too important to the civil service group and must not be abandoned.

You must know that before the Tumu Fort Incident, the Ministry of War had always been the confidant of the military generals. After the Tumu Fort Incident, the Ming Dynasty declined, and the Ministry of War was naturally snatched away by civilian officials and integrated into the power of the civil servant group. scope.

The Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty was responsible for the selection and training of military officers, the conciseness of conquests, and the promotion of Ma Zhengyi. In other words, he was in charge of the promotion of generals and the training of troops by the court. He had great power and was the best position for civilian officials to intervene in the affairs of military generals.

If this position is abolished now, then civilian officials will also lose the right to intervene in military matters. How can civilian officials be willing to do so?

So in this case, the civil servants had to take the lead and try to confront the emperor.

The nobles were naturally happy to hear the emperor's decision. This position in the Ministry of War was a scar for them. Now that they have the opportunity to take it back or abolish it, they are so supportive.

It can be foreseen that the next court will definitely not be peaceful.
