This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 427: Hongguang Twenty-Seven Years
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Ye Ze'an briefly recounted the relevant matters regarding the Blue Patrol Pavilion referendum on March 3.

The emperor will not be present at that time, but the heads of the Supervisory Pavilion and the Stopping War Pavilion will be present.

In addition, the referendum ceremony on that day will be presided over by Prime Minister Ye Ze'an himself.

After the twenty-three members of the Blue Patrol Pavilion are selected, the Grand Marshal of the Military Affairs Council, Wen Renzheng, will personally present these twenty-three people with jade tokens symbolizing their identities!
The ceremony was presided over by the Prime Minister, with the God of War in charge, and the heads of the Supervisory Pavilion and the Stopping War Pavilion present as witnesses. This standard was already very high.

For many people in the world, March 3st is definitely the peak of their personal fame!

After Ye Ze'an finished his introduction, the emperor sitting on the main seat put down the book in his hand.

He looked at Ye Ze'an:

"The Blue Patrol Pavilion has 23 members and an inspection team, but no Pavilion Master?"

Ye Ze'an: "I intend to leave the position of Pavilion Master vacant for now."

"Why?"

"The Blue Patrol Pavilion was established to strengthen the control over the local martial arts world and the powerful. Even if 23 members are selected at this stage, they may not be able to truly win the support of the people in their respective provinces, let alone the entire country? In this case, selecting a Pavilion Master is just a decoration."

"Then when do you think it is appropriate to elect a Pavilion Master?"

"I believe that when a person appears who can convince the entire martial arts world, then we will be able to elect a leader."

Hearing this, Li Fei on the side had something in his mind.

He immediately remembered the first words Ye Ze'an said to him after they met that night:

"Have you ever thought about becoming the person who can decide the fate of the martial arts world with just one word in the future?"

So this 'cake' fell here?

"Let the whole martial arts world be convinced?"

The emperor glanced at Li Fei casually and said, "This is not an easy task. What if there is no such person?"

"Then the position of the Blue Patrol Pavilion Master will remain vacant."

Ye Zean said.

The emperor looked at Wenren Zheng on the other side and asked, "What does the Grand Marshal think?"

Even though Wenren Zheng had restrained his aura, he still looked like a towering mountain when he sat there:

"I think the Prime Minister is right. If we cannot convince the people, it would be a joke to forcibly elect a cabinet leader."

There was a hint of blood and iron in the tone of voice, which made Li Fei seem to hear the sound of swords and horses.

"That's it for now."

The emperor made the final decision.

Then he picked up another booklet on the table beside him and said while flipping through it:
"Grand Marshal, tell me your memorial."

"Yes."

Wenren Zheng had a serious expression. Even when he was reporting on official business, he sounded as if he was on the battlefield killing the enemy. His tone was solemn and murderous:

"According to the Blue Patrol Pavilion contribution point system set by the Prime Minister, with Qi Bian period martial artists as the first, each local councilor can get 100 contribution points for recommending a Qi Bian early stage martial artist to join the army; if they recommend a Qi Bian middle stage martial artist to join the army, they can get 200 contribution points. If a person has special personal talent or combat power, they can also increase the contribution points depending on the specific situation. The relevant details have been written in the memorial."

When Li Fei heard this, he suddenly realized.

No wonder Wenren Zheng will personally present jade plaques to the 23 members of the Blue Patrol Pavilion the day after tomorrow. It turns out that the Blue Patrol Pavilion is connected to the military!
Li Fei was wondering if it was too much of an honor for Wen Renzheng to present jade medals to a group of martial arts masters.

Now he understands.

It turns out that Ye Ze'an founded the Blue Patrol Pavilion with the intention of strengthening the military power of the Great Blue Dynasty!
The counselors of the Blue Patrol Pavilion have a certain amount of money that can be exchanged for cultivation resources from the imperial court every year.

In addition to the fixed amount, members of the Blue Patrol Pavilion can also use contribution points to directly redeem resources and secrets.

As for the way to obtain contribution points, Ye Ze'an just mentioned one way: reporting violations of laws and regulations.

This is the main job of the Blue Patrol Pavilion. Ye Ze'an linked it with contribution points to lure people and thus stimulate their enthusiasm.

The top powers may not think highly of the cultivation resources provided by the imperial court, but these resources are still very tempting to other powers.

It can even be said that many forces are unable to compete with the top forces due to lack of resources.

The court's move is tantamount to giving these forces an opportunity to change their destiny!

In addition to reporting violations of laws and regulations, Ye Ze'an also gave a second way to obtain contribution points, which is what Wen Renzheng said at this time - recommending warriors to join the army.

There have always been three modes for the imperial court to train warriors:
They were trained in various military academies, twelve universities, and the Grand Council itself.

Except for the warriors trained by the Grand Council itself, most of the warriors who come out of the first two methods will choose to enter the various Zhige Academy or the local city guards.

Because there is more money in these places and life is easier.

As for the border troops, they are stationed in bitter and cold places, where there is no money to be made, life is hard and the danger is even greater.

So not many people are willing to go.

Whenever there was a major war, the Grand Council would ask the Zhige Pavilion to temporarily recruit warriors to fight with the army.

Under this model, the warriors who fight with the army lack training and have no experience in cooperating with the army. Naturally, they are not as good as those warriors who have been in the army for a long time.

Now that Ye Ze'an has established the Lanxun Pavilion, all the underworld forces, wealthy people and aristocratic families in various places can recommend warriors to join the army in exchange for contribution points.

In addition to being able to be exchanged for resources, contribution points also directly affect an individual's voice in the Blue Patrol Pavilion.

Ye Ze'an's move was to clearly tell the entire underworld: Whoever contributes the most to the court will be supported by the court to become the leader of the underworld!

In the past, the status of Buddhism was elevated, and the Pudu Temple and Buddhist sorcerers from all over the world were asked to refine evil weapons for the court.

Now he is giving concessions to the underworld and absorbing underworld forces into the military.

This series of actions are closely linked.

This made Li Fei think of the Xintianhui.

The Xintian Society wanted to use the assassination case to stir up chaos in the Great Blue Dynasty, but now it seems that they are helping Ye Ze'an promote his "Blue Patrol Pavilion Plan."

If there had not been the shock caused by the three major cases to the government and the public, Ye Ze'an would not have been able to push forward this plan so quickly and smoothly.

Thinking of this, Li Fei's admiration for the Prime Minister increased even more.

This move of using the opponent's force to counter attack is really powerful.

Next, the emperor talked a few words about Wen Renzheng's memorial, consulted Ye Ze'an's opinion, and finally approved it as well.

Then Ye Ze'an and Wen Renzheng took their leave, leaving Li Fei as the only minister left in the Yangxin Palace.

"Li Fei."

The emperor finally called Li Fei's name.

"The minister is here."

Li Fei did not continue sitting, but stood up and saluted obediently.

The emperor looked at him but did not ask him to sit down.

Li Fei suddenly felt as if he was seen through, and almost subconsciously activated his flying sword body. A layer of faint golden light enveloped the surface of his body.

The emperor watched this scene calmly, and after a few seconds he spoke:

"Is this Bai Zihao's 'Refine the Body into a Weapon'?"

Li Fei restrained the golden light on his body, recovered from his sword state, and said truthfully:
"Yes, I am training the top-grade flying sword body recorded in the secret book."

"Has the Dao base been balanced?"

"Correct."

"Practicing martial arts with techniques, combining techniques with martial arts, this kind of practice is something that even Lin Tianyi cannot do. You have done very well."

The emperor's tone slowed down.

Li Fei also relaxed after hearing this and bowed:

"I hope I have not disappointed Your Majesty."

The emperor did not comment on this, but just said, "Sit down."

After Li Fei sat down, he continued:

"I already know what happened last night. Did Lou Hongtao tell you the inside story?"

Li Fei: "Lord Lou told me that the Military Affairs Council and the Supervisory Council were secretly trading martial arts secrets and resources with Western countries."

"What do you think?"

"I don't understand military and national affairs. I only know that someone is secretly trying to harm me."

Hearing this, the emperor's gaze towards Li Fei became more serious:
“As for the trade with the Western Continent, it is better to facilitate than to block, so the Military Affairs Council and the Supervisory Council intervened.

But once the transaction begins, many things are no longer under control. You just happened to catch someone trading top-level Dao base and peerless martial arts with the Western Continent this time, but you didn't know that others might have already traded."

Li Fei remained silent, he understood what the emperor meant.

In fact, he had figured it out after listening to Lou Hongtao's inside story this morning:

Since the Grand Council and the Supervisory Council have already personally taken action, how can they hide it from everyone? If the imperial court itself is not upright, how can it strictly demand others to do so? "

Since the imperial court itself is trading with the Western Continent, it would be difficult to be fair in this matter.

It would be fine if it was just to punish some small forces, but for the forces that can show off their top-level Taoism, which one would be easy to deal with?

If we really want to take the matter to a serious level and impose heavy penalties according to the national crime, aren't you afraid that others will directly drag the Grand Council and the Supervisory Cabinet into the matter?

At that time, the court will definitely suffer the greatest loss.

So Li Fei just said that he didn’t understand military and national affairs, what he cared about was that someone was secretly plotting to murder him.

"You are an important official of the court, and I personally conferred you the title of Marquis of Jing'an. You don't care about military and national affairs, but only care about your own safety?"

The emperor asked in a cold tone.

Li Fei immediately felt a suffocating and terrifying pressure!
His flying sword body was activated and directly entered the sword state, golden body and jade marrow, stimulating the strongest defense. A layer of faint golden light appeared on the surface of his body again.

But this time, Li Fei felt that the sword skills he was so proud of were like a piece of blank paper that could be torn at any time!

This was the first time he intuitively felt the power of the Emperor.

Vast, majestic, high and mighty, full of majesty!

Before this, all he had felt from the supreme ruler in front of him were appreciation and gifts, attention and admiration, but he had never felt the emperor's wrath.

He withstood this horrible pressure, slowly got up from his seat, and stood up straight with difficulty:
"I know I was wrong."

The emperor looked at the young man in front of him who was still trying to keep his back straight under his terrifying pressure, and suddenly he understood Emperor Taizu's mentality.

In the past, Taizu was a man of great talent and strategy, and his cultivation reached the highest level of Martial Saint.

He eventually swept across the world and unified the East Land. In addition to his personal martial arts, the contributions of his brave generals were also indispensable.

At that time, there were several brave generals who were unruly and often contradicted Taizu.

Taizu was sometimes very annoyed by these people, but he still valued them and ultimately appreciated them more.

Now the emperor has similar feelings towards Li Fei.

He put away his pressure:

"Do you know why I want to confer you the title of Marquis of Jing'an?"

The pressure suddenly disappeared and Li Fei almost couldn't stand.

He shook his body and spoke with difficulty:

"Your Majesty hopes that I can eliminate violence and bring peace to the world."

"Yes, peace and tranquility for the world!"

The emperor finally smiled, "It seems you don't know nothing."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the hall and left.

Li Fei stood there in a daze, not understanding what this meant.

A few seconds later, Feng Cheng walked into the hall with a eunuch.

The eunuch following behind him was holding a wooden box in his hand, which looked a bit heavy.

"Marquis Jing'an."

"Eunuch Feng."

"This is the information that His Majesty specially ordered someone to prepare for you."

"What information is it?"

"The Military Affairs Department's top secret."

"what?"

Li Fei was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the answer.

Feng Cheng took the wooden box from the eunuch, handed it to Li Fei personally, and instructed:
"These materials can only be viewed in this hall. After you have read them, I will have someone collect them."

"Okay, thank you, Eunuch Feng."

Li Fei thanked him.

"Then I won't bother Marquis Jing'an."

Feng Cheng took the eunuch away.

Li Fei was the only one left in the hall.

Li Fei sat back in his original position and opened the wooden box.

There were several books without covers and some letters inside.

Li Fei picked up the book on top, opened it and took a look, and was a little surprised.

This book records the war in the 27th year of Hongguang when the coalition of seven nations attacked the Da Lan Dynasty!
Li Fei could not find any detailed records about the war, whether in middle school, military academy or Wu'an University.

All the information he could find were just a few scattered sentences. He only knew that in the end, ten thousand Sky Blue Iron Cavalry defeated a hundred and twenty thousand Western coalition forces outside Lanling City.

The rest of the information is unknown.

Now, the book in Li Fei's hand records in detail the entire process of the war from the beginning to the end:
On January 1, the 4th year of Hongguang, the Dalan Dynasty had just celebrated the New Year.

A large number of ships suddenly landed on the west coast, and teams of soldiers armed with guns disembarked.

The total number of invading Western coalition forces was 160,000, of which nearly 20,000 were extraordinary people!
For this battle, each of the seven Western countries sent out at least one-fifth of their extraordinary people, which can be said to be their best troops.

In addition, there are heavy machine guns, mortars, howitzers and airplanes!
The Da Lan Dynasty occupied the Central Plains region of the Eastern Continent and had border troops deployed in the east, south, and north directions, except in the west because it faced the sea.

Although the Western Continent had been discovered at that time and the two continents had been trading with each other for several years, the Great Blue Dynasty never had the idea of ​​launching an expedition to the Western Continent.

It was not because the Great Lan Dynasty at that time had no ambitions, but because the Great Lan Dynasty's navigation technology was still at a very primitive stage and it was impossible to support a cross-sea expedition.

Similarly, the Great Blue Dynasty, which did not understand the technological level of the Western Continent at that time, judged others by itself and believed that it was impossible for the Western Continent to defeat it.

Therefore, there were no border troops and no border defense line in the west.

When the Western Allied Forces landed, they encountered almost no resistance and easily captured several coastal cities.

At that time, the Great Blue Dynasty was still in the era of cold weapons. Even if there were warriors, a warrior in the Body Breaking Stage would be in danger of his life if facing the shooting of more than a dozen guns in an open area.

Only warriors who have reached the middle stage of Qi transformation and have developed strong strength can barely block the shooting of bullets, but many people still cannot block the close-range shooting of rifle bullets.

What’s more, the coalition forces’ weapons are not limited to pistols and rifles, but also heavy machine guns, cannons, and even bombers!
Under such circumstances, the defense line organized by Da Lan to the west was almost about to collapse!
Even though there were martial arts masters leading Dao Foundation Stage warriors to carry out an assassination attempt on the leader of the coalition forces, these people did not gain any advantage when encountering the extraordinary people from the Western Continent and were even at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Moreover, in the Western coalition, there are quite a few marquis-level strongmen who can rival the fighting power of martial arts masters, and above them there are duke-level strongmen and several princes who can rival grand masters!

Therefore, all the warriors who tried to assassinate him were killed in the battle, and no one succeeded.

In just one month, the 160,000 Western coalition troops captured a province with less than a thousand casualties.
PS: I am not feeling well today, so I can only update less. I will try to update more tomorrow.
