Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

"Follow me, all the generals! Let's destroy these Wusun people!"

With a loud shout, a figure rushed out from the army formation. This man had a handsome face, was dressed in silver-white armor, and held an iron spear in his hand.

He rode his horse forward in pursuit. In front of him, a Wusun army was defeated and fleeing. They were all tall and strong men, but the expressions on their faces were extremely terrified.

It seemed as if the one chasing them was not a human, but a demon.

"Major General! Chase slower! Chase slower!"

In the army behind the young man, a middle-aged man shouted loudly. He was the second commander of this army, named Yue Yi.

The young man raised his lips, and then laughed: "I, Ying Xuanze, never say slow when I lead troops to fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his horse had already caught up with the Wusun people. He waved the spear in his hand, and after a burst of movement, more than a dozen corpses were left wherever he passed.

Yue Yi sighed and had to lead his men to ride faster. Under the leadership of the young man, the Wusun army of thousands was completely wiped out.

Late at night, Yue Yi walked over to the young man and sat down with a roasted leg of lamb and a strong liquor unique to the grassland.

"Here, this is a freshly roasted leg of lamb, it's still sizzling with oil and smells so good." Yue Yi handed the leg of lamb to the young man, who took it without hesitation.

The young man's name was Ying Chu, and he was a senior student at Kyoto University. However, he accidentally fell off a cliff while climbing a mountain.

When he woke up again, he was already a baby in swaddling clothes. Twenty years had passed in a flash, and he came to a whole new world.

The place where he was reborn did not belong to any dynasty in history; it was a completely new place.

According to his wet nurse, this place is called Daying Dynasty, and it has been more than 700 years since the founding emperor established Daying.

Under the rule of emperors of all dynasties, the territory of the Daying Dynasty was as large as several million square kilometers in modern terms.

The population is as high as over 300 million, and there are more than a dozen vassal states around it, making it the undisputed number one superpower!

But a country cannot remain strong forever. In the 13th year of Yongxing, five years ago, Emperor Yingyuan suddenly passed away.

Before Emperor Yuan died, he did not appoint a crown prince. His three sons staged coups one after another for the throne, which is known in history as the "Yongxing Rebellion".

The civil strife lasted only three months before it was suppressed by his father, Empress Dowager He and other ministers.

The three princes who launched the coup were defeated and killed, and finally Empress Dowager He enthroned the late emperor's youngest son, who was only two years old.

However, in the first year of Chuhe, Empress Dowager He suddenly passed away, and the emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Wang, became the master of the harem, and together with her brother Sima Wang, she assisted the young emperor.

The emperor was young and many loyal ministers and generals died in the Yongxing Rebellion, so it was difficult for the Daying Dynasty to continue its previous prosperity.

The surrounding vassal states were ready to make moves, and Chun State, led by the other six states, launched the "Seven State Rebellion" in an attempt to overthrow the rule of the Daying Dynasty.

His father was ordered to go to war, and it took him three years to suppress the seven kingdoms! He made great contributions and gained a great reputation!

His father not only quelled the civil strife but also eliminated the rebels, thus making the originally shaky and declining Daying Dynasty strong again.

General Ying Tiangan was a brave man with good military management skills. The Tiger Guards under his command were famous and powerful.

As the son of a great general, Ying Xuanze practiced martial arts and studied military books since he was young. He followed his father to quell the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms at the age of sixteen, and he also became famous!

In the fourth year of Chuhe, the Queen Mother appointed him as the General of the Western Expedition, and he led the army to attack the western countries such as Loulan and Wusun.

It took a year, from last summer to this summer, and he finally led his army to destroy the main forces of Loulan and Wusun.

"After this great victory, the imperial court will surely give a huge reward!" Yue Yi smiled faintly and continued, "I don't know how your father is doing. It is said that the Baiyue people are good at using poison, which is a bit tricky."

"My father is a brave military commander. These barbarians are not worth mentioning." Ying Xuanze bit off a piece of leg meat. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

When the two men stood up, a soldier had already come to them on horseback. The guard on horseback quickly jumped off and handed over the letter in his hand.

"Major General! Something happened! Something happened, General!"

Ying Xuanze's face changed drastically. He hurriedly opened the letter. Yue Yi also came over. After reading the contents of the letter, both of them looked ashen.

"Send an order! Return to Beijing immediately!"

"Yes!"

......

Capital city, Ying Mansion.

Ying Xuanze rode his horse to the front of the mansion. After he got off the horse, several soldiers in armor surrounded him with swords drawn.

"How dare you! Do you know who this is?" Yue Yi, who arrived later, was furious, but the soldiers were not afraid at all.

Ying Xuanze frowned. He saw many soldiers standing at the gate of Ying Mansion. Judging from their attire, they were not his father's Tiger Guards at all.

Who are these people under?

"Haha, General Yue Yi, don't be angry. These are the new soldiers I just recruited. Naturally, I don't know you two."

A voice came from the other side. Ying Xuanze and Yue Yi looked at the same time, and their pupils were shocked.

"General Huang Chan? Why are you here?"

This man was General Huang Chan. He had always been at odds with his father and had no ability to lead troops in battle. However, he took a lot of credit for quelling the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Haha, when I heard that General Ying Xuanze returned to Beijing, I naturally rushed here." Huang Chan said with a faint smile.

"General Yue Yi, take the returning troops to General Huang Xin to claim the reward. I have something to say... Oh no, there is a gentleman who wants to see General Ying Xuanze."

"Sir?" Ying Xuanze was slightly stunned.

Huang Chan waved to him and Ying Xuanze followed him. The former took him for a while and finally stopped in front of a house.

Ying Xuanze noticed that the courtyard was surrounded by the palace guards, so the adult Huang Chan mentioned must be no simple person.

He followed Huang Chan into the courtyard, and after a while they arrived at the hall. There were quite a few people sitting in the hall at this time, all faces he had never seen before.

"Sir, the person has been brought here." Huang Chan bowed respectfully.

Ying Xuanze noticed that a man turned around. When he saw his face clearly, he was shocked and hurriedly bowed and said, "I greet the Grand Marshal!"

The middle-aged man was named Wang Yi. He was the Grand Marshal of Daying, the elder brother of Queen Mother Wang, and the uncle of the current emperor.

"I'm sure you also know that your father was defeated in the war." Wang Yi sat on the chair and looked at Ying Xuanze.

"Of the 300,000 Tiger Guards, only a few tens of thousands returned..." Wang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "This is the biggest defeat since the founding of the Daying Dynasty!"

"According to the laws of our dynasty, what do you think will happen?"

Ying Xuanze's face turned pale. He wanted to refute the Grand Marshal by saying that this battle was full of doubts and that his father was a brave leader who had never made any mistakes.

But the result was that my father led the army into the miasma forest, and the army suffered heavy casualties.

He clenched his fists tightly: "If the commander is at fault, according to the law...he should be executed."

Huang Chan and the other men on the side looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths slightly raised.

"Although your father committed a serious crime, he had made great contributions. It would be a pity to execute him. But as the saying goes, even if you can escape the death penalty, you can't escape the living crime."

"His Majesty has decided to strip your father of his title and depose your Ying family, but you have done a great deed by quelling the foreign invasion in the west."

"Therefore, your majesty's decision to grant you a title and grant you a fiefdom can be considered a clear reward and punishment, right?"

Hearing this, Ying Xuanze breathed a sigh of relief. Although his father was dismissed from the post of general and stripped of his title, fortunately he still had him to support the Ying Mansion.

He believed that he would be able to achieve great things and reach the same level as his father in the future.

Thinking of this, Ying Xuanze asked happily: "I would like to ask, which piece of land did Your Majesty grant?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him all had sarcastic expressions on their faces, while some even had sinister smiles on their faces, as if they already knew something.

Wang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Xiliang has vast land, abundant grassland, and produces a lot of grain. Therefore, His Majesty has issued an imperial decree to confer you the title of Zhenxi Hou and to rule Xiliang."

Ying Xuanze's body trembled and his face darkened slightly. Xiliang was obviously short of land, sparsely populated, and plagued by numerous bandits.

This so-called title of nobility and grant of land was actually to banish the Ying family to a desolate place and leave them to fend for themselves!

What do you mean by clear rewards and punishments? It's a joke!

He clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to control his emotions. After a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Did your Majesty really say that?"

"Bold Ying Xuanze! Are you questioning the emperor?" Wang Yi said angrily.

Ying Xuanze bit his lip, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of unwillingness, and whispered: "I dare not..."

"No need to question it, this is what His Majesty meant." Suddenly a cold voice came from behind, and everyone looked over with a respectful look on their faces.

"See the Queen Mother!"

Queen Mother? Ying Xuanze was startled, his eyes a little dazed.

A young woman in a purple dress walked into the hall. Led by a maid, she sat on the other side of Wang Yi.

The Queen Mother - Wang Ziyin, entered the palace at the age of fifteen, gave birth to the current emperor at the age of sixteen and was canonized as the queen by the late emperor.

When she was eighteen years old, the previous emperor passed away and the young emperor ascended the throne. She became the youngest empress dowager in the Daying Dynasty in more than 700 years.

When Ying Xuanze saw the Queen Mother coming in person, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Perhaps, the Queen Mother could change His Majesty's mind?

He bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, my family is loyal to the Great Ying Dynasty, and my father has fought many rebellions and made great military achievements. Is this the fate he will suffer just because of a failure?"

The Queen Mother looked at Ying Xuanze coldly, and that cold voice sounded again: "This time I came here to convey your majesty's decree."

At this moment, Ying Xuanze understood everything.

With the help of his father, the Daying Dynasty has now returned to its previous status and foreign nations have surrendered. How could it tolerate such a great general who is so powerful that he threatens the ruler?

The emperor was young and the entire country was controlled by the empress dowager. As a woman, she needed a group of obedient ministers.

The Queen Mother wants the Ying family to submit completely. If he does not obey, the entire Ying family may face a devastating disaster!

Ying Xuanze clenched his fists. How could he dare to say no? If he openly disobeyed the order, he believed that the Queen Mother would immediately exterminate his Ying family!

He knelt down silently and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty... accepts your order."

"During the Yingtianshun period, the emperor issued an edict: 'Appoint Ying Xuanze as the Marquis of Zhenxi, give him the fiefdom of Xiliang, grant him 3,000 households, and 5,000 taels of gold!' This is decreed!"

Ying Xuanze's body was trembling, and his dark eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.

This imperial court is truly ungrateful!

Just as he was about to open his mouth to receive the order, a series of voices rang in his head.

[Ding! The luxurious supreme lord system is loading... Loading completed! ]

[Luxury Supreme Lord System: Get 1 point every second, and each point can be exchanged for 1 population! ]

[Note: The population is 20 years old! Gold is equivalent to the current currency value! ]

[Accumulate a certain amount of points and you can redeem generals in the system mall! Subsequent functions will be unlocked gradually based on the amount of points! ]

Ying Xuanze's eyes suddenly shrank! His breathing became rapid!

It’s here! After twenty years of waiting! His system is finally here!
