After the fall of the royal city, the Southern Yi defenders in various places almost collapsed. Wherever the Southern Expedition Army went, the people either opened the city gates and surrendered, or fled as soon as they heard that the Southern Expedition Army was coming.

Occasionally, there were some people who relied on the high mountains and dense forests to resist stubbornly, but they didn’t expect that the Southern Expedition Army was extremely good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and was as agile as monkeys. They also had wolf soldiers and monkey soldiers!

As soon as these two special teams appeared, the Nanyi defenders were immediately scared to death. How could they fight?

The monkey soldiers couldn't defend themselves, and the wolf soldiers couldn't resist them. In a few seconds, they threw away their weapons and fled in a panic.

The soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army were extremely excited. This military achievement was so easy to get!

In order to allow everyone to "pick up" military merit, Xie Changan ordered the front, middle and rear armies to rotate guard every seven days.

Even so, the battle line advanced at an extremely fast speed. In less than a month, the entire territory of Nanyi was under the control of the Great Chu army.

The people of the Southern Yi were originally very panic-stricken, fearing that after their country was destroyed, they would become slaves of the Great Chu people.

Xie Changan came out in person to appease the people: "As long as you submit to the Great Chu, you are the people of the Great Chu. The Great Chu Emperor is kind and loves his people. He will definitely treat everyone equally and will not enslave or discriminate against you."

"Your Majesty will implement benevolent policies here, reduce taxes and levies, and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and that the granaries are well stocked."

With the personal promise from the God of War of Great Chu that the Southern Expedition Army would not harm anyone wherever they passed, the people of the Southern Yi gradually settled down, and some even felt that the incorporation of the Southern Yi into Great Chu was not a bad thing.

At least Da Chu is prosperous!

For ordinary people, whether their boss is the queen or the emperor of Chu, isn't life the same? If they change to a rich "boss", maybe life will be better?

Thanks to the God of War of Great Chu, a passage was cut out of the Mihun Pond with one sword. From then on, people from Nanyi to Great Chu no longer have to cross the dangerous terrain. This is really a great thing!

Therefore, the people of Nanyi happily accepted their new identity as "citizens of Great Chu".

When the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou brought government officials to take over the political affairs of the Southern Yi, they were surprised to find that the Southern Yi people were very cooperative. Except for a few Southern Yi dignitaries and landlords, everyone took the initiative to go to the government office to register their household registration and receive new identity certificates.

Nangong Qinghe, who was far away in the capital, soon received the good news from Peregrine Falcon, and the emperor was very pleased.

It took the Southern Expedition Army less than a month to bring the Southern Barbarians under the territory of Great Chu!

This news once again shocked the government and the public.

Nangong Qinghe named the newly incorporated territory "Dali" and established Dali Prefecture, which was under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Yunnan and Guizhou.

After the other five states in southern Xinjiang are incorporated into the Great Chu, they will be managed by the Dali Prefecture.

The newly appointed prefect of Dali Prefecture immediately became a lucrative position that various parties were vying for.

Although Southern Xinjiang is a typical "barbarian" land with difficult people's lives and a lot of work to be done, it is now the place where it is easiest to achieve political achievements.

The newly established Dali Prefecture is a place where a dormant dragon lies in wait for the right time to take flight. Whoever can achieve results here will be recognized by the new emperor and soar to the sky!

The officials in the court were arguing fiercely over the big piece of fat meat.

Nangong Qinghe followed Jiang Li's suggestion and directly designated the candidate for the prefect of Dali Prefecture - Feng Wuhu, the director of the Imperial College and the principal of Longmen Academy.

He will lead the elite disciples of Longmen Academy to go to southern Xinjiang to build a new Dali.

Disciples of Longmen Academy, it is time to step out of the academy and display your talents.

You will know whether it is a mule or a horse by taking it out for a walk.

All the ministers were convinced. It turned out that Marquis Jing'an founded this academy just for today?

Who can be like Feng Wuhu, who, when he takes up a post in a local area, can bring with him a large group of disciples who are proficient in general affairs, have their own strengths, and are loyal to him?

Marquis Jing'an is truly an absolute monster. He always takes the initiative in everything. And the couple's fighting power is so high. Do they want to let people live?

Seeing that the ministers looked frustrated, Nangong Qinghe returned to the harem in a happy mood.

He went to Fengyi Palace first.

Zhang Wanwan came forward and said with a smile, "Why is your Majesty so happy? But has Marquis Jing'an got another victory?"

Only the news from Marquis Jing'an could make His Majesty smile so happily.

She is no longer jealous now. Even she can't help but like a woman like Jiang Li who is both talented and beautiful and has such a lovely personality. What's more, what about Nangong Qinghe, who has known her since childhood and has supported her all the way?

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "Ah Li is really a prophet. I never thought that the students of Longmen Academy would be so useful at this time!"

Zhang Wanwan smiled and said, "Marquis Jing'an has also sent a message to me. If there are female students in the Women's Academy who are not afraid of hard work and are willing to show their faces and make achievements, they can also go to Dali and serve as female officials."

She showed admiration in her eyes, "She is so thoughtful."

The customs in the Southern Yi are open-minded, and the queen was once in power. It is natural that there would be no criticism for women to serve as female officials.

When the female officials here make achievements in politics, they will have a subtle influence on the capable women in Da Chu and enable them to enter officialdom and achieve success in their careers.

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "I was just about to discuss this with Wanwan. How to select female officials and what rank they should hold, the Queen should discuss it with Bai Lian Jushi and draw up a set of rules first."

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Nangong Qinghe went to Cui Jin's palace again.

The eldest prince is about to turn one year old. He is just learning to speak and to walk, and is very lively and cute.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, a chubby little body came crawling towards him, calling out incoherently: "Father...Father..."

He didn't know how to call "Father Emperor" yet, he could only call "Father Father" while drooling.

Nangong Qinghe lovingly picked up the eldest prince, took the handkerchief from the palace maid, and carefully wiped his chubby little face.

"Is Yuan'er well behaved today? Did you eat well?"

After Cui Jin saluted, he hurried forward and wanted to take over the eldest prince, "Yuan'er is sinking again, please don't tire your majesty."

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "It's okay. He's only a little older. How could he tire me?"

He sat down on the couch holding the eldest prince, teasing his youngest son in his arms, listening to his innocent laughter, looking at his eyebrows and eyes that looked so much like his own, and felt all his tiredness disappear.

Cui Jin smiled and said, "I heard that Marquis Jing'an is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl."

"Really?" Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but sigh, "Xie Qing is so lucky."

Cui Jin added: "The daughter of Marquis Jing'an must be extremely beautiful, it would be great if she could be married to our Yuan'er."

If A'li's daughter looked like her, wouldn't she be so lovely?

Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but smile as he thought of a mini version of Jiang Li.

"You have to ask her about this. I can't be her boss."

If he rashly issued an imperial decree to arrange a marriage between the eldest prince and Jiang Li's unborn daughter, she might get angry and never come back!

Cui Jin frowned. With Jiang Li's temper, she could indeed do such a thing.

She touched the eldest prince's face and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, your mother can't help you. You can only rely on your own efforts in the future."

The eldest prince looked confused and had no idea what a difficult task his mother had assigned him.

The two major Longmen Academies in the capital launched the selection competition in a lively manner.

There was a huge rush of students trying to sign up to go to Dali.

There were also sons of powerful and wealthy people who were eager to make a fortune and frequently visited Feng Wuhu, hoping to join the team heading to Dali.

As a result, Feng Wuhu was afraid to go home and could only stay in the academy, not even going to the Imperial College.

Cui also began to prepare the dowry for the Cui family’s girls.

After the New Year, Cui Jue will lead a team to Dali with Feng Wuhu.

He was going to receive the huge amount of gold and silver seized from the Southern Yi and bring it to the national treasury. He was also going to discuss with Mo Qilang how to develop the huge iron mine.

He will also escort the girl from the Cui family to Dali to marry Shen Muchun.

It would take at least one or two years to bring the entire southern Xinjiang under the control of the Great Chu. Shen Muchun is the same age as Xie Changan, and he is about to become a father. We can't let him remain single when he is almost thirty, right?

If Miss Cui waits another one or two years, she will become an old maid.

It happened that Cui Jue was going to Dali, so he asked him to escort Miss Cui to marry Shen Muchun.

Shen Muchun was overjoyed when he heard the news, as his single life was about to end!

Mo Qilang was very jealous, he also wanted to get married!

Shen Muchun's junior sister was still young and didn't want to get married so early, but after much persuasion, she finally agreed.

Jiang Li was very happy and immediately ordered people to clean up two palaces as the wedding rooms for Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang. They would wait until the girl from the Cui family arrived after the New Year to hold the wedding for the two couples.
