0069 Take His Highness's money, listen to His Highness's words, and be His Highness's
Happiness came so suddenly.
Zhao Jing was still thinking about how to obtain dragon energy.
Then the dragon's aura arrived.
The Heavenly Bone seemed to sense the will of the Bashan righteous men, and its heart suddenly beat faster.
A golden text seemed to appear in Zhao Jing's mind.
[Gained 200 points of White Dragon Energy]
[Gained 100 points of Azure Dragon Qi]
At least we're not just sitting around doing nothing.
The weight that had been hanging over Zhao Jing's heart was lifted.
Although the amount of dragon energy is small, it is a good start.
This allowed Zhao Jing to gradually understand how to obtain dragon energy.
That is power.
The stronger the power, the larger the share of the world it occupies, and the more dragon energy it can generate.
As for why Zhao Jing, despite being a grandson of the emperor, lacked the aura of a dragon, there are two possibilities.
First, with the downfall of the Crown Prince's residence, he was no longer a grandson of the emperor.
Now, he can only be considered a wanted criminal, so naturally he cannot share in the empire's dragon aura.
Secondly, the power of the Crown Prince's residence was not under his command.
This is like the son of a billionaire; in name, you do have a lot of assets.
But the only money you can actually use is your pocket money.
The amount of money that a second-generation rich kid who doesn't inherit hundreds of millions of assets can actually spend may not be comparable to that of a first-generation entrepreneur with tens of millions of assets.
The same principle applies to dragon energy.
Now that Zhao Jing has gained complete control of a force that is essentially a mountain bandit king, independent of the imperial court and operating under its own system, it is natural that dragon energy will be generated.
In chaotic times, heroes rise from all directions; whoever has a gun is king.
The white dragon aura refers to the bandits of the mountain stronghold.
The azure dragon aura signifies a powerful local leader.
The greater the power he controls, the more dragon energy he naturally receives, and it is provided regularly.
The source of the dragon's energy was thus found.
Zhao Jing suppressed his joy, helped Lin Fengxue and Bai Yutang up, and then walked out of the Loyalty Pavilion.
"Instructor Lin, gather all the men, I have something to say."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
Lin Fengxue did not possess strong leadership qualities.
He was able to establish a foothold in Bashan entirely due to his own formidable military strength.
He actually preferred to be called "instructor" rather than "village chief".
The business ventures in Bashan were merely intended to replenish cultivation resources and expand one's influence.
When the Yuwen family falls into trouble in the future, the bandits of Bashan will still have to accept the imperial court's offer of amnesty.
Lin Fengxue and the Yuwen family were irreconcilable enemies, so he quickly gathered all the heroes of Bashan.
The Bashan area was the only route from Yongzhou into Sichuan. In addition, the surrounding mountains were continuous and there were many terraced fields, making it difficult for the imperial court to collect taxes. It became a paradise for displaced people.
Lin Fengxue has more than 20,000 people under his control.
These people either evaded taxes and hid in the mountains, or they were local mountain dwellers.
They all recognized Lin Fengxue's character and martial prowess, and respected him as their leader.
Even if Lin Fengxue's personality is not suitable for being the leader.
But force is the strongest backbone.
At his command, the heroes of Bashan gathered in droves.
There are quite a few people.
There were approximately three thousand soldiers in total, with about one hundred actual martial artists.
The probability of a human possessing a martial bone is less than one percent; the vast majority possess ordinary bones.
In addition, there are some substandard martial arts bones.
This kind of martial bone doesn't reach the level of iron bone, making it difficult to cultivate, but it makes one much stronger than an ordinary person.
There are over a hundred heroes of Bashan with iron will, and their skill level is quite impressive.
Under Lin Fengxue's tutelage, many of them have successfully tempered their bodies over the past three years, and some have even achieved mastery of tendon-strengthening, marrow-washing, and the Xuan Guan (mysterious gate) stage.
These heroes of Bashan all regarded Lin Fengxue as their instructor, and naturally held him in high esteem, responding to his calls at any time.
The heroes of Bashan have all arrived, and Zhao Jing has already changed into a formal suit.
He was originally dressed in civilian clothes for the sake of convenience when escaping.
Now, when he's about to give a speech, he's even changed into a black formal robe, looking very dignified.
The noble air of royalty and the magnificent attire made Zhao Jing stand out like a phoenix in a chicken coop.
In the study of imperial rule, everything from speech and behavior to makeup, tone of voice, and clothing conveys information and cultivates awe.
Zhao Jing would not give up on controlling any detail.
In addition, he first manipulated the Dragon Tower to address the heroes of Bashan:
"quiet!"
"His Highness, the sixteenth generation descendant of the Dayong Imperial Family, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Shizong, and the great-grandson of Emperor Lizong, has graced us with his presence."
"No noise allowed!"
The heroes who had been whispering instantly fell silent.
Don't be fooled by Master Longlou; he's a quack master who's been manipulated by Zhao Jing, causing his strength to plummet.
If he were to encounter a true master, he wouldn't be able to defeat a single one.
But in the face of ordinary people, they are true powerhouses, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Many of the Bashan heroes turned pale, as if they were facing the consequences of the attack and were secretly shocked.
That fat old man is really something!
Although they couldn't understand the genealogy of the Dayong royal family, the grandson of Emperor Shizong could.
His Majesty Emperor Shizong was an incomparably powerful emperor, capable of flying through the sky and disappearing into the earth, and omnipotent.
The heroes of Bashan were all familiar with the heroic tales of past emperors, a method used by the royal family to cultivate awe and respect.
They all lowered their heads, silent as chickens, not daring to utter a sound.
well.
Zhao Jing doesn't need real bandits, but soldiers who can fight tough battles.
Zhao Jing, standing on the high platform, said loudly:
"Warriors of Bashan, this is the first time you have seen me."
"But it doesn't matter. From today onwards, you are my subordinates, and even my Imperial Guard."
"You may follow me and gain wealth, land, wives and children."
"Then your descendants will be able to eat ironwood crops and live the life of landlords and rich people."
"May the incense burn ever bright, and may the tradition be passed down for generations."
Wow!
The heroes of Bashan didn't understand what kind of army they wanted to build, but Zhao Jing explained their entire life's pursuit in one breath.
He acquired property, married and had children, continued his family line, and lived like a wealthy landlord.
This is simply the most perfect life.
Their breathing was rapid, yet they couldn't believe it; their eyes, however, became somewhat unfocused.
The Great Dream Floating Pagoda True Scripture—A Dreamlike Bubble.
Zhao Jing is best at weaving dreams for people.
The reason he didn't use this move on Lin Fengxue and Bai Yutang earlier was because both of them cultivated spiritual secret techniques.
Using it made things worse.
Now, he's using his power as a high-ranking official to offer a pie in the sky to the heroes present.
That's how you get them to work their lives away.
But these beautiful dreams are fragile.
He must expend a large amount of mystic energy to hypnotize the group.
【Morning Sun!】
[Here you are, brother!]
Chao Xi quickly provided Xuan power support, which enabled Zhao Jing to complete such a difficult move.
There are still too few practitioners of mystic arts.
A proper field army needs a sorcerer to assist in combat.
It was quite tiring for Zhao Jing to hypnotize people by himself.
The heroes of Bashan seemed to be in a beautiful dream, unwilling to wake up.
Zhao Jing shouted:
"Soldiers, are you willing?"
"willing!"
"Speak louder!"
"willing!!!"
very good!
next second.
Their dreams should be shattered.
Zhao Jing withdrew his mystical technique, and the heroes of Bashan looked disappointed, as if they wished to remain in their beautiful dream, when they heard a rebuke:
"but!"
"You must abandon your bandit habits. From today onward, you must not rob merchants, bully the weak, or act without authorization..."
"All spoils must be turned over to the public and discipline must be observed."
what?
So what should we eat?
Although Lin Fengxue was knowledgeable and knew how to farm, he worked hard to develop the terraced fields in the Bashan area, and he also organized markets and looked after the venues.
He was a mountain bandit, not a roving bandit, and the relationship between the people and the bandits was relatively harmonious.
But the heroes of Bashan also relied on passing merchants and travelers to make money.
"My soldiers, are they afraid of not having money?"
"You will be able to receive a fixed military salary, with regular payments."
"I'll take care of the money problem."
"Don't believe me? Look at this!"
Zhao Jing took out Iron Pearls, one after another.
One of the soldiers, unaware of the value of the item, asked curiously:
"Isn't this an iron ball?"
"Idiot, this is a Mystic Pearl, more valuable than gold!"
In full view of everyone, Zhao Jing took out a large amount of valuable items.
Especially the Iron Pearl.
Some soldiers who longed for the Iron Pearl stared wide-eyed.
Zhao Jing was then satisfied and said:
"Do you understand what you need to do now?"
What are you doing?
The heroes of Bashan were somewhat bewildered.
Longlou roared:
"Take His Highness's money, obey His Highness's orders, and serve His Highness!"
Zhao Jing did not expect that a single speech or hypnosis would change the situation of the Bashan heroes and transform them into a new-era army.
However, Lin Fengxue laid a good foundation, and these people can already form battle formations. We can modify as many of them as possible.
Upon hearing this, the heroes of Bashan shouted in unison:
"Take His Highness's money, obey His Highness's orders, and serve His Highness!"
But not enough.
While hypnotizing the soldiers, Zhao Jing used the Heavenly Fate Bone.
Event 1: Within ten days, the heroes of Bashan were trained into veterans (White, 0.1%)
Event 2: Within ten days, the heroes of Bashan were trained into fierce soldiers (Green, 0.01%)
Event 3: The heroes of Bashan are all like dragons (…, …)
Forget it, it would be more reasonable to wish for a meteorite to fall and kill Yuwen Yi.
Zhao Jing's imagination ran wild.
He hoped that the heroes of Bashan would quickly become stronger and become qualified soldiers under his command.
After all, in the land of Bashu, Zhao Jing and Bao'er alone cannot hold up the situation.
However, there were too many heroes, and the required dragon energy surged instantly.
Zhao Jing's meager wealth is simply not enough to cover his expenses.
Is there anything cheaper?
Zhao Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Giving every soldier a cheat code is simply beyond his current budget.
Then I won't use cheats.
Would it be better to just boost morale a little?
Have it.
Zhao Jing, always quick-witted, soon came up with a solution.
Event 3: The heroes of Bashan remember today vividly; whenever they feel relaxed, they will recall their beautiful dream (White, 5%).
Cheap!
Zhao Jing was overjoyed.
After this speech, many soldiers will surely remember this day and be willing to fight.
But not everyone.
Most people live in a daze because after each stimulus, they always relax again after a while.
Zhao Jing did not allow them to slack off, making sure they had a deep impression of the speech.
This is the imprint of thought.
Zhao Jing fed the soldiers chicken soup, and then repeatedly fed it to them to save on labor.
"Soldiers, remember this day."
"Did you understand?"
"Take His Highness's money, obey His Highness's orders, and serve His Highness!"
Very good, let's use the Destiny Bone.
Zhao Jing directly invested 95 points of white dragon energy, and that sentence was deeply engraved in the soldier's mind.
They didn't give them any cheat codes or power boosts; they simply created unforgettable memories for them.
This is enough.
Those who survived countless battles among the heroes of Bashan shared a common characteristic in their later years.
They would suddenly shout:
"Take His Highness's money, obey His Highness's orders, and serve His Highness!"
This is not because the dragon's energy has such a long-lasting effect.
Rather, they remembered this moment and changed their destiny, creating a truly indelible memory.
Zhao Jing initially only wanted to use the mental imprint to strengthen the soldiers.
Now that he had soldiers, Zhao Jing had a foothold in Bashan.
Now it's time to deal with Pan Hongxiao's problem.
