Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 202 The best master in the palace!

[Blessed by heaven, the emperor issued an edict:

Chen Jie, whose courtesy name is Yanwu, is a brave and good fighter, and I love you very much!

He is now appointed as the Grand Commander of the Righteous Group and concurrently the Commander-in-Chief of the Dagukou Fortress in Tianjin.

He was given the name Yingwu and the title of the General's Mansion in Dagu Fortress in Tianjin!
——I hereby order! 】

In the capital, the headquarters of Ximen Hall.

Chen Jie was surprised when he received the imperial edict.

What does the old emperor mean?
The leader of the rebel group, the commander-in-chief of Dagukou Fortress!

He gave a hundred silver dollars and sent the eunuch who read the imperial edict away.

Chen Jie looked at the imperial edict in front of him and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

strange!
Why did you suddenly give yourself an official title?
Ximen Hall is just a gang of chivalrous men, not a regular army of the Ministry of War?

What did the emperor want to do by appointing himself the title of "Commander-in-Chief"?
Do you want to incorporate Ximen Tang?

Chen Jie was thinking to himself, when Zeng Xuanhuai walked in.

He leaned close to Chen Jie's ear and whispered for a moment.

"What did you say? A marriage?"

Chen Jie widened his eyes and looked at Zeng Xuanhuai and said, "Xu Shichang sent you a message saying that the royal family wants a princess to marry me?"

Did something go wrong?
Chen Jie didn't react at once.

Zeng Xuanhuai nodded and whispered:

"That's right! Since the emperor has promoted you to be the commander-in-chief of Dagukou Fortress, it is clear that he wants to strongly support the development of our Ximen Hall."

"I have to say, given your current status and position, a marriage would be very helpful to you and the Emperor as well."

Chen Jie took a look at the imperial edict and couldn't help laughing.

"Interesting, the old emperor is quite calculating!"

"Isn't he worried about losing not only his daughter but also his army?"

"Does he think that if he marries his daughter to me, I will be completely devoted to him and serve him?"

suddenly,
Chen Jie remembered something and shook his head:
"I don't know what the old emperor is thinking. How can a private matter like marriage be mixed with public affairs?"

"I haven't even seen that Princess Lingyue, but you just give me a daughter."

"If the princess is a fat girl weighing 300 kilograms, can I agree to it?"

Zeng Xuanhuai glanced around and whispered, "Marriage in the imperial family has never been a private matter, and it does not require feelings!"

Then,

Zeng Xuanhuai's eyes became solemn, he hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Sir, since the royal family has proposed a marriage, then Miss Ji and Miss Liu cannot become your legal wives!"

"I know you have deep feelings for Miss Ji, but the princess of the royal family really married the young master, and the position of the legal wife can only be a princess!"

"Otherwise, it will not only harm you, but also Miss Ji."

Chen Jie frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Then I refuse, is that not okay?"

Chen Jie never expected that the emperor would confer an official title on him for the purpose of forming a marriage alliance.

He naturally knew the emperor's purpose. Wasn't it that he wanted to tie Ximen Hall to the emperor's interests?
Zeng Xuanhuai shook his head and said slowly, "No! The royal family has already spoken, you can't refuse!"

"The affairs of the imperial family have always been bloody and cruel."

"Since the Emperor has already spoken, he wants to win you over. If you refuse, you will become an enemy of the royal family!"

"Although the imperial power of the Daqian Dynasty has declined, the government is controlled by the major families."

"However, as long as the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are under the control of the royal family, no one can overthrow the imperial power."

"Sir, the consequences of rejecting the royal family are very serious. In addition, this Princess Lingyue has a very powerful background. She is the descendant of the 'Sword Master'!"

Chen Jie was startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Who is the Sword Master? Does it have anything to do with my rejection of her?"

Zeng Xuanhuai said sternly, "The number one expert in the palace—Jingyun Sword Master! Do you think there is any connection?"

hiss--!
Chen Jie took a breath when he heard this.

Is it so powerful?
To be honest, Chen Jie doesn't care about her identity as a princess of the Daqian Dynasty at all.

He never thought of relying on the royal family.

The key is,
The royal family is unreliable. All they do all day is bully others, engage in intrigue, and play the so-called imperial balance game.

Someone who promotes you today may stab you in the back tomorrow for personal gain.

If he had a choice, Chen Jie would rather be a local lord.

That is to say, when you are a warlord, you hold a large number of troops and don't give face to anyone.

but,

Disciple of Master Jingyun Sword!
This identity is a bit scary.

Chen Jie felt a little scared when he thought about the terrifying fighting power of the masters of the Imperial Palace.

If you use a gun, it will be no problem to deal with masters at the Iron Bone Dark Strength level.

Even at close range, saturation shooting can be used against masters in the early stage of Yi Sui Hua Jin.

Just like when Chen Jie faced the assassination of the Japanese ninja, he just killed the opponent with a gun.

but,

Once you encounter a strong person who has reached the level of Yi Sui Hua Jin or above Ban Xue Dan Jin, the usefulness of the gun is greatly reduced.

Generally speaking, the spiritual realm of these top masters is usually above the "guarding the acupoint" realm, and they have a top-notch sixth sense of crisis.

Unless there is artillery coverage, use heavy artillery attack.

Or a heavy machine gun at full fire.

Otherwise, if you want to kill a strong man above the level of Blood Moving Pill, there is almost no possibility of success.

Eunuch Cao is only one of the three general managers of the Ministry of External Affairs, but his martial arts level has already broken through to the Tongmai Gangjin level!

No one knows how high the martial arts level of the 'Jingyun Sword Master', the number one master in the palace, is!

Chen Jie only knows one thing.

If the King of Jingyun Sword wants to kill me, I will definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

"We'll talk about the marriage later. First, let Xu Shichang pass on the message that I won't marry you unless you drive the Westerners out of Daqian!"

If I can't refuse, can't I just delay it?

I have to know what Princess Lingyue looks like, right?
Chen Jie thought to himself.

Next,
He said to Zeng Xuanhuai: "Let's go back to Dagukou Fortress first, since the court has tacitly agreed that Ximen Tang will guard Dagukou Fortress."

"Then, Ximentang needs to reallocate positions to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle with Ximoer's army."

-

Dagukou Fortress in Tianjin.

The General's Mansion!

This is the place newly granted to Ximen Hall by the imperial court, and it is also the headquarters of Ximen Hall in Dagukou.

In the early morning, the sun rises!
When all the elite backbones of Ximen Hall walked into the meeting hall of the General's Mansion.

Everyone exchanged glances.

Everyone knows that the imperial court has issued an imperial decree appointing the young master as the commander-in-chief of Dagukou Fortress.

After Zeng Xuanhuai asked Xu Shichang to convey the message, there was no response from the royal family.

All this made Zeng Xuanhuai worried.

He is Ximen Tang's chief counselor and the young master's right-hand man.

He naturally needs to consider many aspects and have a long-term vision.

Although the young master has great ambitions, after this period of time of getting along and understanding each other.

Zeng Xuanhuai knew that his son was not from a noble family.

In other words, if the young man wants to realize his ambitions, marrying into the royal family is the best option.

Zeng Xuanhuai thought about it secretly for a long time and felt that a marriage would be beneficial to both the prince and the royal family.

quickly,

Aunt Thirteen walked in from outside the door.

She is the leader of the "Qianbu", so naturally she has to attend today's meeting.

at this time,

When Aunt Thirteen walked into the conference hall, everyone around her exclaimed in amazement.

So beautiful!
I saw that Thirteenth Aunt's dress today was completely different from usual.

She was wearing a floral dress and had light make-up on her face. She looked elegant and stunning.

On her head was a hairpin given to her by Chen Jie.

On her neck, she was wearing the sapphire necklace that Chen Jie gave her.

Originally, she was a master of iron bones and dark energy, and her figure was very well maintained.

Compared to before, she has a little more charm.

After Aunt Thirteen walked into the conference hall, she walked to the chair to the left of the main seat and sat down.

This is the seat of the leader of the 'Qianbu', who has absolute authority in the entire Ximen Hall.

Zeng Xuanhuai was stunned when he saw Thirteenth Aunt's dress.

It seems that Miss Ji already knows that the royal family wants to marry the young master.

You have to know that before this, Thirteenth Aunt never deliberately put on makeup.

Now, with the way she was dressed as a woman, it was clear that she was announcing her status to everyone in Simon Hall.

Trouble!
If this is the case, the marriage between the royal family and the prince will seem difficult to accomplish.

When Zeng Xuanhuai thought of this, he suddenly felt a headache.

A moment later, footsteps were heard outside the conference hall of the General's Mansion.

Chen Jie, Tang Feng and other bodyguards walked in.

Huh?
When Chen Jie saw Aunt Thirteen's outfit, his eyes lit up.

pretty--!
I didn’t expect that Thirteenth Aunt would look even more charming dressed like this.

He didn't think as much as Zeng Xuanhuai.

Next,
He sat in the main seat and looked around.

In the conference hall, location is important.

To the left of the main seat where Chen Jie sat was Aunt Thirteen, the leader of the "Qianbu".

The second person from the left is Zeng Xuanhuai, and the third is Wan Jinpeng.

The first person on the right is Yan Kuangtu, the leader of the "War Department", the second person on the right is Zhang Changfeng, the leader of the "Eagle Department", and the third person is Xiong Chao. Although in terms of identity and position, Xiong Chao is the deputy lieutenant general of the Tianwu Army, and his official rank is the fifth rank.

Apart from Chen Jie, he has the highest status in Ximen Hall.

but,

In the management structure of Ximentang, Xiong Chao can only be ranked below Zhang Changfeng.

Xiong Chao did not show any resentment about this.

He was a very smart man and knew that the management of Ximen Hall was completely different from that of the Imperial Court's Ministry of War.

There is no seniority here.

If you want to achieve a higher status, there are only two words - military merit!
not to mention,
The imperial decree has been issued by the court, and the entire Dagukou Fortress is to be guarded by Ximen Tang.

The young master has become the commander-in-chief of Dagukou Fortress, replacing General Ye Zhicheng.

Below Xiong Chao were the seats for key members such as Xue Qian and Zhang Dezhi.

Chen Jie sat in the main seat and rubbed his eyes.

I didn’t sleep well last night!
For the future development of Ximen Hall, he didn't expect that he would suffer from insomnia.

at this time,

Looking at the two rows of Ximen Tang backbone members sitting around him, they were looking at him respectfully.

For a moment, Chen Jie suddenly felt a sense of power in his heart.

This sense of control over life and death is addictive.

No wonder anyone is obsessed with the pursuit of power.

This feeling of being in control is really crazy.

He wakes up and holds the power of the world, but he lies drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman.

I don't ask for a priceless jade, but I ask for a sword to kill people!

There is nothing better for a real man to do between heaven and earth!
After following Xiong Chao's Tianwu Army and joining Ximen Hall.

The entire Dagukou Fortress has been completely controlled by Chen Jie.

Now in the Dagukou Fortress, there are 2,000 elite soldiers of the Ximen Hall and 15,000 Tianwu troops under Xiong Chao.

The former Haiguang Temple garrison was attacked by Hunter's coalition forces and was almost destroyed.

The military garrisons in Chenjiagou and Yantuo, after Ximentang took over the Dagukou Fortress.

Only 3,000 people were left in the Ministry of War, and all the others were evacuated.

Therefore,
Of the 100,000 troops under the original Ye Zhicheng, only 18,000 were left and merged into Ximen Hall.

The Ministry of War’s meaning is very simple.

There is no money and no soldiers.

Aren’t you, Ximen Tang, very good?
If you want to recruit soldiers and expand your power, do it yourself.

This was also the agreement reached between the "war faction" headed by the emperor, the "peace faction" represented by the Ninth Prince, and the "surrender faction" represented by the Thirteenth Prince.

Chen Jie didn't care about it.

He wanted to deal with the Western coalition forces, the Orientals and the Northern Russians, and never thought of relying on the imperial court.

The theme of today's meeting is the reorganization of Ximen Hall and the personnel arrangements.

Rewards based on merit!

In addition, the future goals and direction of Ximen Hall must be announced so that everyone can have a clear understanding.

More importantly, Chen Jie needs to practice the "Bible Spiritual Cultivation Technique" in the form of a meeting!
During this period, his knowledge of the Bible Spiritual Cultivation Technique advanced by leaps and bounds.

Plant the seeds of "faith" in the hearts of all the elite backbones of Ximen Hall, and let the seeds continue to grow.

no way,
The team is large, so we need to adopt some special methods to keep it under control.

The meeting begins.

Chen Jie sat in the main seat and looked around.

He took out a list and said slowly:

"General Xiong Chao played an indispensable role in the attack on Biandu and the successful capture of Dagukou Fortress by our Ximen Hall!"

The entire conference hall was silent.

Everyone knows that the young master is going to start rewarding people according to their merits and appointing the key members of Ximen Hall.

at this time,

Everyone was a little nervous.

Xiong Chao didn't expect that the young master would be the first to call out his name. He stood up somewhat flattered and clasped his fists, saying:

"Sir, this is my job, I dare not take credit for it."

Chen Jie nodded and continued:

"We have defeated the Hunter coalition forces, but Seymour's army will not give up."

"In the coming period, as soon as the third batch of Western warships arrive at Tianjin Port, the Western coalition will launch a general attack."

"In addition, the Japanese and the Northern Russians have reached a ceasefire in the Northeast, and the Northern Russians have withdrawn from the Northeast!"

"So we must be on guard against the Japanese and the Northern Russians at the same time!"

"A war is likely to break out soon, and our Ximen Hall will experience the most brutal test."

"Xiong Chao, listen to my orders!"

Xiong Chao said respectfully: "I am here!"

Chen Jie said in a deep voice:

"The 15,000 Tianwu troops are disbanded, and you will lead 5,000 of them to form the 'Bear Division'!"

"In addition, select 100 people from the 'War Division' and the 'Eagle Division' to assist the 'Bear Division' in training and garrison the Haiguang Temple!"

Xiong Chao stood at attention and said, "Yes! I will follow your instructions!"

He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his military power would not be taken away.

To know,
He is not a direct descendant of Ximen Tang, nor is he Chen Jie's confidant.

Originally, he thought that he would hand over all the military power of the Tianwu Army and then be assigned a sinecure.

He had been thinking about it for two days and had already prepared himself mentally.

but,

The development of things was a little unexpected for him.

Not only did the young master not take away his military power, he even established the 'Bear Tribe'!
This is the department named after my last name.

This shows that the young master thinks highly of himself.

For some reason, when Xiong Chao listened to Chen Jie's voice, it was as if a resonance was struck in his heart. Unconsciously, he developed a sense of respect for the young master!
Chen Jie looked at Xiong Chao's expression and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

I didn't expect that after improving my "Bible Spiritual Cultivation Technique", it could actually influence a master who had reached the 'mid-stage of inner vision' in the realm of spiritual cultivation.

Although it was unable to shake Xiong Chao's mind, it was able to plant the seeds of "faith" in his mind.

"The remaining 10,000 men of the Tianwu Army will be taken over by the 'War Department' and the 'Eagle Department', each with 5,000 men."

"The 'War Department' is stationed at Tanggu Port and Majiakou, and the 'Eagle Department' is stationed at Yantuo and Chenjiagou!"

Chen Jie continued to assign tasks.

"The last general takes command!"

Yan Kuangtu and Zhang Changfeng saluted with excitement.

Originally, the 'War Division' only had 1,200 people, and the 'Eagle Division' only had 800 people!

Now there are five thousand more people, and the soldiers and horses are strong!

Zeng Xuanhuai looked at the tall building of Ximen Hall rising from the flat ground and felt deeply moved.

Others might think that even if Ximen Tang’s army grew to 20,000, it would not be a big deal.

To know,
Many of the princes in various parts of the Daqian Dynasty had more than 200,000 troops under their command.

With only 20,000 people in Simon Church, what kind of waves can they make?
but.

Zeng Xuanhuai was very clear about Ximen Tang’s combat effectiveness.

Once these 20,000 people are equipped with sufficient firepower, no one in the entire Daqian Dynasty will be able to stop them!

Moreover, according to the request of the commander-in-chief of Dagukou Fortress given by the Daqian Imperial Edict,

The full strength of Ximen Hall can reach 50,000 troops!
hiss--!
Thinking of this, Zeng Xuanhuai simply could not imagine the grand development of Ximen Hall.

Three months!
In just three months, Ximen Hall will become the most terrifying force in the Daqian Dynasty.

terrible--!
"Mr. Zeng has made great contributions to the development of Ximen Hall today. From today on, Mr. Zeng will be the chief advisor of Ximen Hall!"

Chen Jie suddenly turned his head and looked at Zeng Xuanhuai, as if he had heard Zeng Xuanhuai's thoughts.

Zeng Xuanhuai quickly put away his thoughts and said respectfully: "Thank you for your trust, sir!"

Then,

Chen Jie continued, "Xue Qian will form a special operations battalion based on the special operations team and increase the number of personnel to 1,500!"

"Zhang Dezhi leads 1,500 troops to form a logistics department!"

Xue Qian and Zhang Dezhi stood up with a look of surprise on their faces and said in unison: "We obey your orders!"

Both of them are veterans who have always followed Chen Jie, so it is not surprising that they are valued.

"Tang Feng! Expand the Royal Guard to 500 people and establish a Royal Guard Battalion!"

"Yes! Son!"

Tang Feng stood up and said respectfully.

In the following period of time, Chen Jie personally appointed all the elite backbones on the roster that had been prepared long ago.

These people are the real backbone of Ximen Hall.

Fighting Division, Eagle Division, Bear Division, and Stealth Division!
Not to mention the Qian Department, the total strength of the first three departments reached 17,000 people.

"Although the imperial court has given us Ximen Hall a legitimate title and asked us to guard the Dagukou Fortress!"

"But in essence, our Ximen Hall is a righteous group and has no affiliation with the Imperial Court's Ministry of War!"

"So for the future development, we need to rely on ourselves for everything!"

Chen Jie saw that the meeting time was almost up, so he stood up and said:
"We at Ximentang have only one goal, and that is to drive the Westerners, Easterners, and Northern Russians out of Daqian!"

"One day, our Ximentang's battle flag will be planted in their country!"

"We will sweep across the world and let our army stand on their territory!"

this moment,
Chen Jie was filled with great enthusiasm and casually stated the ambitious goals he had set.

After hearing this, everyone wondered if it was due to the influence of the Bible Spiritual Cultivation Technique.

Everyone's heart resonated with this, and they all stood up and shouted:

"I am willing to follow you, sir, and compete for the throne of the world!"
