I really became a king.

Chapter 369: Taking Control of Western Xinjiang: Two Governments, Eight Departments, and Three Camps

The stars change and the world is reshaped!
Everyone in the Demon Realm Pass was stunned by this scene. It was truly a new look for the heavens and the earth. The originally barren and dry Demon Realm Pass of a hundred miles had turned into a water town with dense rivers.

Within a radius of one hundred kilometers, water is no longer a scarce commodity and is full of vitality.

"This……"

"Is this still the Demon Realm Pass?"

"It's really a change of heaven and earth..."

Those who witnessed everything were all staring at the scene in a daze. After most of them confirmed that they were not dreaming, they were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.

These military border residents have been waiting for countless generations since the first generation of their ancestors, and their wait has finally come to fruition. During this period, they have endured too much suffering.

He even became an outcast of the entire Dali Dynasty and was as lowly as an ant.

Now, it was all over, how could they not be excited? From now on, Demon Realm Pass would completely get rid of its reputation of being poor and evil, and become the shining pearl of the entire Western Frontier.

And these military-registered border residents will completely change their fate of poverty. At least they won't have to bow and scrape for a sip of water all day long.

All of this was bestowed by the Dali nobleman in front of them. At this moment, everyone gave up their previous resentment towards the Dali royal family. To be precise, they identified with the figure above the Demon Realm Pass.

The thunderous cheers resounded throughout the Demon Realm Pass again, including the entire Demon Realm Pass, which was filled with earth-shaking cheers. More and more people knelt down in the direction of the West Demon Realm Pass, and amid the thunderous cheers, there was a faint sound of "Long live!"

The generals at the Demon Realm Pass were also immersed in the earth-shaking cheers, and they automatically chose to ignore the shouts of "Long live" mixed in.

Jiang Yi stood quietly at the gate of the Western Demon Realm. His face turned very pale and his body swayed several times before he stood still. There was a long-lost look of ease and joy on his face.

He knew that his plan had succeeded, just as he expected. He exhausted all the remaining power in his body, and with the sacrifice of the mysterious gemstone disk, he finally built his own foundation.

However, he felt a little regretful. Originally, he wanted to transform the thousands of miles of red drought land between the Demon Realm Pass and the Humen Pass of the Dali Imperial Capital, but it didn't work.

Although the power and stone plate in his body are incredible, their benefits are ultimately limited and cannot cover such a vast area.

But it’s also good this way. The nearly ten thousand kilometers of drought-stricken land is still dry and can serve as a natural buffer zone between him and the Dali Imperial Capital.

After what happened today, he has actually fallen out with the ruling class of Dali Imperial Capital. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has rebelled against Dali Imperial Capital.

As to whether he would be completely accused of treason and rebellion, it depended on the choice made by his royal grandfather.

He might be furious and issue an edict to the world, labeling him a traitor to Dali; or he might turn a blind eye and pretend to be ignorant and smooth things over for various reasons.

Another possibility is to find a way to recognize his status and position in Xinjiang.

This is also what Jiang Yi hopes for the most. Before his wings are fully grown, he does not want to really rebel against the Dali Dynasty, so he needs a status and obtain an orthodox identity recognized by the Dali court and even the entire Dali.

In this way, he could enter the Western Frontier openly and become the real owner of the Dali King's flag.

"Capture the mountain and lock the mountain..."

Amid the thunderous cheers of worship, Jiang Yi looked at his right hand with some nostalgia. Capturing mountains and holding hills, and holding the mountains and rivers in his hand, it was truly a great supernatural power.

It's a pity that the scene just now was only a flash in the pan. Now that he has exhausted all the strength in his body, this [Mountain Capturing and Mountain Locking Hand] can no longer display such power.

However, even without the power to hold mountains in his hands, it is still an extremely powerful fighting method. At the same level, it is difficult for anyone to block his attack with their body alone.

What he also missed was the milky white sphere forged from the Forbidden Magical Codex. When he was in a desperate situation, he resolutely integrated the big sphere into the stone plate.

The entire Mountain and Water Martial Realm became boiling and turbulent as a result, including the Huagai Treasure Tree, the Black Prison Mountain, the Crocodile Turtle, etc. All the existences in the Mountain and Water Martial Realm were greatly coveted.

Even Shanshui Wujing itself showed deep reluctance.

But they were all suppressed by Jiang Yi, including the flying pig and green flame who tried to snatch it, and were slapped away by him.

In order to escape from the desperate situation in the Dali Imperial Capital with his 100,000 trusted men, he reluctantly sacrificed the large milky white ball.

Although he didn't know what this big sphere forged by the Forbidden Magic Codex was, Jiang Yi was very sure of one thing: the grade of the big sphere was definitely not lower than that of the Flower of Ten Thousand Bases.

At that time, the Wanji Flower directly made his Shanshui Martial Form transform from virtual to real and evolved into Shanshui Martial Realm. If Shanshui Martial Realm absorbed the big sphere, what changes would happen?
Jiang Yi couldn't imagine it, but it would definitely allow the Shanshui Wujing Sutra to be reborn again, and it might even be possible for it to become a real independent world.

Now, in order to escape from the deadly situation of Dali Imperial Capital, the big sphere is gone.

But Jiang Yi did not regret it at all. One must give in order to gain. No matter how precious the big white ball was, it was ultimately something outside of his body. The Western Frontier and his trusted team were his real foundation.

The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. From now on, Jiang Yi no longer has to look at other people's faces. If he wants, he can even rebel against Dali and establish his own regime.

Of course, this is an extremely difficult path, and he would not do this unless it is absolutely necessary.

Standing at the Western Demon Realm Pass, Jiang Yi looked towards the north with an urgent look in his eyes: Maybe it's time to take my daughter back...

As long as he could survive this and gain a firm foothold in Western Xinjiang, he would no longer be afraid of any rumors! But immediately, his mouth turned bitter. If the Northern Xinjiang guy really came back, along with Mi Qingqing and Mo Li who was far away in the Holy Land Sect, Prince Yi's Mansion would be very lively...

Just as Jiang Yi was silently looking north amid the roar of the mountains and the sea, a small figure behind him was looking at him in awe, with his fists clenched tightly.

This little figure was none other than Ji Jingzhi, the illegitimate son of Ji Shuyi, Marquis of Wu Yao. He was the hidden protagonist who killed dozens of top martial arts masters and broke out of the Dali Imperial Capital sixty years later.

"My father is right. The prince has great supernatural powers and great fortune. I must take him as my teacher!" Ji Jingzhi, who was only ten years old, made up his mind secretly.

He was deeply shocked by the might of the [Mountain Capturing and Mountain Locking Hand] just now. He never thought that the heavenly book in his home actually concealed such a heaven-defying martial arts manual.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold the bag behind him tightly in his arms...

As for Jiang Yi, he looked at the north with "melancholy" for a while, then he regained his composure and glanced at the hundreds of generals gathered at the Western Demon Realm Pass.

It seemed that everyone realized that Jiang Yi had something to say. The cheers from the city wall of the Western Demon Realm Pass, then the Western Demon Realm Pass, and then the military camp below the pass, gradually subsided.

The entire Western Demon Realm Pass became silent, with only faint cheers coming from far away inside the pass.

"With the help of all the soldiers, I have successfully reached the Western Demon Realm Pass and entered the Western Frontier." Jiang Yi looked at the entire Demon Realm Pass, and after scanning the hundreds of warriors, his eyes fell on the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered at the Demon Realm Pass, and finally fell on the hundreds of generals in front of him. Hearing Jiang Yi's words, the other hundreds of thousands of soldiers stood quietly and listened, and the hundreds of generals on the tower, including Lin Yizhi, Tian Buyi, Su Qingfeng and other trusted warriors, all bowed their heads slightly.

They all knew that what was coming next would determine the fate of all of them and the future direction of the entire Western Xinjiang.

"I will not hold grudges for what happened in the past!"

Following Jiang Yi's words, many people on the city wall of the Western Demon Territory secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were originally worried that they would be held accountable for previous events.

Although all those who had done great evil were wiped out along with the Chi family, if one really looked into it, they all had more or less stains on them, especially the generals who were the original defenders of the Demon Realm Pass.

"I also hope that you will help me and work together to build Western Xinjiang into a foundation for eternity!"

Jiang Yi didn't say much, but he made his ambition known without hiding it. As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of generals knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and said, "We are willing to die for you, my Lord!"

"We are willing to die for the prince!" Then, hundreds of thousands of troops from the entire Western Demon Realm Pass knelt on the ground to express their loyalty.

Jiang Yi stood there quietly, nodded, and continued: "From now on, all military unit numbers in Western Xinjiang will be cancelled!"

Hundreds of generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were still kneeling quietly on one knee, listening to the instructions of the new Lord of Western Frontier while waiting for the next words.

Canceling the original system was the natural consequence of the new master taking office. No one found it strange. They had been mentally prepared since the flag of King Dali reached the Western Demon Realm Pass.

Moreover, they were already very satisfied to be forgiven of their past sins and stains.

"This king wishes to establish the 'Eight Western Frontier Divisions', and all the armies will be assigned to the Eight Divisions of Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Cloud, Mountain, Shadow and Marsh."

Jiang Yi did not mention the reappointment of the eight tribe leaders, and his meaning was very clear. The Eight Tribes of Western Xinjiang will be expanded based on the Eight Tribes of the Sun and the Moon. As for the core generals among the Eight Tribes, they will naturally be based on the Eight Tribes of the Sun and the Moon.

"At the same time, all border residents of Western Xinjiang who are military personnel will be incorporated into the Western Xinjiang Eight Tribes system, and all troops of each tribe will be recruited from their own tribes."

Jiang Yi's unhurried voice echoed over the entire Demon Realm Pass, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers could hear it clearly.

"In addition, set up two more camps in addition to the eight tribes in Western Xinjiang!"

"One is the Servant Vanguard Battalion, which gathers horse bandits inside the pass to expand the army. The leader of the battalion is Li Yan."

Li Yan was excited when he heard this. After this battle, the "Servant Camp" was finally renamed. With the word "vanguard" added to it, it meant an unstoppable glory.

"The second is the Brave Soldiers Camp, with a full complement of ninety-nine men, and Chi Lie is the camp leader!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Lie and the other ninety-nine adopted sons of Chi Xu all lowered their heads to show their submission. As adopted sons of the Chi family, they were already very satisfied to be alive.

"In addition, the Hubu personal army is independent of the Eight Divisions Second Battalion and renamed the [Personal Army Battalion]. We can draw elite troops from the Eight Divisions Second Battalion to supplement the troops!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Daniu, the leader of the Hubu Department, began to shake his shoulders violently under his iron tower-like body. He raised his head and his mouth was grinning from ear to ear with laughter.

Jiang Yi glanced at him, and Wang Daniu seemed to realize that his arrogance was inconsistent with the solemn atmosphere at the moment, and he immediately put away his smile.

"In addition, the Shen Ce Mansion will be established, and I will be the head of the mansion. The personal army camp and the two camps of the eight divisions will all be under the jurisdiction of the Shen Ce Mansion!"

Since its establishment, the Shen Ce Palace has been above the Eight Divisions and Two Camps of Western Xinjiang, and no one would have any objection because the Shen Ce Palace represents Jiang Yi, the lord of Western Xinjiang.

"This prince intends to set up a military office in the Shen Ce Palace..."

At this point, Jiang Yi glanced at a certain figure and said, "Mao Wenhuan!"

"I am here!" Mao Wenhuan lowered his head and responded.

"You will select personnel to fill the military office and be responsible for drafting the relevant military documents for the Western Frontier."

"I obey your command!" Mao Wenhuan responded without any hesitation.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. He understood what Jiang Yi meant. Before their positions were completely consolidated, they, the former generals of the Demon Realm, must stay away from military power.

The military office of the Shen Ce Mansion is the best place for these former generals. However, this is not a bad thing. It is better than rivers of blood and killing.

"General Mao will be in charge of the handover of military affairs between the East and West Demon Realm Passes."

"I obey your command!" Mao Wenhuan said without any hesitation.

Jiang Yi nodded and was about to say something to end the conversation. Dong Chengyang and the other three looked at each other, and then Dong Chengyang stepped out and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, we have an unwelcome request. Please grant it."

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Sir, do you want to set up a Tianxia Academy in this Western Frontier? You can just go and set it up yourself."

Unexpectedly, Dong Chengyang shook his head, and bowed with the other three people, asking: "Please, Your Majesty, set up another palace besides the Shen Ce Palace."

"Oh? Sir, have you thought about it?" Jiang Yi's eyes narrowed. Although he asked with a smile, everyone could feel the solemnity in his tone.

Outside the Shen Ce Palace, another palace was set up for these scholars. It did not interfere with the Shen Ce Palace, but it was set up under Jiang Yi's command. Jiang Yi understood what this meant. Hundreds of other generals and dozens of newly awakened scholars also understood it.

"Your Highness' words shocked the world and also awakened the great spirit of literature among us scholars. You should be the teacher of all the scholars in the world. The moral principles should not be disturbed. Please establish a palace for us!"

Dong Chengyang and dozens of other scholars who had awakened to the great Wenzong Dao bowed in unison.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi no longer refused and nodded in agreement, "I wonder which government you gentlemen would like to establish?"

"Your Majesty, please establish the [Wenzong Mansion]!"

"Okay, then we will set up another prefecture in Western Xinjiang, named [Wen Zong Prefecture]! From now on, Western Xinjiang will have two prefectures, eight divisions and three camps!"

As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, he felt a cool breeze flowing through his body, and his whole body felt comfortable. Not only him, but everyone in the Western Demon Realm felt extremely comfortable, as if they were vaguely blessed by a vast power.

At the same time, all the scholars in the four major dynasties of Dali, Xiqi, Donglan and Nanzhao outside the Western Frontier felt moved and bowed from afar facing west.

Sorry, I'm back and working hard again for six months
