Obtain the divine power at the beginning

The city of Chengdu, which had experienced the war, was filled with smoke, and the stagnant water and blood dyed the streets red.

After Xu Guan, the Minister of War of the Mahayana Dynasty, sent his generals to guard the occupied cities, he led Wang Biao and others and rode to Chengdu.

In the temporary palace of the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty, Lu Fu, Xu Guan proposed to the emperor of the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty, Wang Haoxian: "We should take Shi Tianyu as an example to appease the people."

For several years, Xu Guan had been lurking beside Shi Tianyu, and had learned a lot from him. He also had a deep understanding of the famous saying of Emperor Taizong of Tang that Shi Tianyu often mentioned: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

~~
Wang Haoxian nodded and said, "Yes, I agree."

That was true, but in fact, they were already building a palace, selecting a site, and preparing to build it. Because Master Heyin and the generals were busy fighting, no one cared about the fake emperor. Therefore, Wang Haoxian treated himself as the real emperor, sent many people to serve as prefects and county magistrates in various places, and always won over Prime Minister Li Zhiyong. Ling Nantian, the commander of the imperial guards sent by Master Heyin, was originally a martial artist. He had just become the commander of the imperial guards and was not very good at supervising Wang Haoxian.

Therefore, at this time Wang Haoxian and Li Zhiyong had great power and freedom.

~~
Xu Guan bowed and suggested: "Your Majesty, Li Zhenhai, the second best fighter in the capital, escorted Yin Youzhao to inspect Jinghu. He is the bravest of the three armies. I am afraid that Beigong Bo, Xue Tielong, Zou Tieying, and Lei Shenghai will fail when they attack Jingzhou after helping General You Yanfei capture Jiange Pass. Therefore, Your Majesty should send more troops to reinforce. As long as Jingzhou is trapped or captured, it will be possible to prevent Pan Ruzhen from sending troops to help Sichuan."

Wang Haoxian nodded in praise, and then asked about the situation of the garrison at Jiange Pass, saying, "Only Lord Xu is good at using troops. Let Lord Xu be in charge of conquering cities and plundering land. Oh, by the way, can You Yanfei, the head of the Wolong Sect, defend Jiange Pass alone?"

Although he didn't know much about the military, he knew the unique geographical location of Jiange Pass in central Sichuan. If Jiange Pass could not be defended, the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty would definitely be unstable in central Sichuan.

~~
Xu Guan said confidently: "Your Majesty, in terms of military strength, You Yanfei can defend Jiange Pass alone, which is no problem. But now, the unclear factor is who the Ming court will send to Sichuan to carry out the so-called rebellion suppression?

The Ming court will certainly not sit idly by and watch the loss of Sichuan. Therefore, I think we must dispatch the Beggars' Sect disciples and the Central Plains Liuhe Sect disciples who openly did not participate in our uprising to secretly help General You Yanfei defend Jiange Pass. In addition, we can dispatch General Shui Shangyi to reinforce Jingzhou and firmly trap Jingzhou. We can dispatch the commander of the Imperial Guard, Ling Nantian, to reinforce the troops besieging Yunnan. Only by trapping or taking Jingzhou and Kunming can we block the reinforcements from Jing and Yunnan. Because it is difficult for the troops in the northwest to pass through Jiange Pass, there is no need to worry. The rest of the generals can just seize the key points in Sichuan."

~~
Wang Haoxian nodded and said, "That makes sense. My dear, just send the troops like this. I approve it." He waved his hand and asked Xu Guan to leave.

~~
Xu Guan immediately left the palace and led his people back to Fucheng.

Although most of the Shang Dynasty had fled after Shi Tianyu was "captured", Fucheng was still richer than other cities in general. Although Wang Haoxian gave Xu Guan the power to dispatch troops, it was only verbal and no decree was issued. The one who controlled the troops of the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty was actually Master Heyin. Xu Guan sighed all the way.

Wang Biaosui persuaded Xu Guan: "Minister Xu, after we return to Fucheng, why don't we first dismantle the three Qiansui Temple golden statues in the territory and recast them into gold. We will use them to reward the soldiers in Fucheng and gain their support and love."

Xu Guan shook his head and said, "No! It's too conspicuous. This matter must be decided by Master Heyin. Even Wang Haoxian and Li Zhiyong can't make the decision. Marshal Wang, don't be anxious! We still have to learn from the stone demon and pacify the country and the people first. Otherwise, our foundation will be unstable!"

Wang Biao disagreed, but since he couldn't persuade Xu Guan, he stopped trying.

In fact, it was also a test of Xu Guan, and he was originally here to supervise Xu Guan.

~~
The sun is shining and the sky is blue.

White clouds float in the sky like cotton.

Yiling, Hongxing Escort Agency.

At this time, Lu Dede led the brothers of the Mingjiao Jiangnan Branch Spy Hall to the hall and reported to Shi Yuyan: "It's bad. The Mahayana sect bandits have revolted and occupied the hinterland of Sichuan." Everyone immediately asked in a trembling voice: "What? What what?"

Lu De clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Chen Biao of Fucheng Prefecture was originally named Xu Guan, and is now the Minister of War of the Mahayana Sect. Wang Haoxian has already established a temporary capital in Chengdu, named Mahayana Xingsheng. It is reported that Chen Biao's original name was Xu Guan, and he is the son of Xu Hongru, the former leader of the Mahayana Sect. He is a wanted fish that has escaped the net."

~~
Fan Shi sighed and said sadly, "Now, Shi Tianyu will be in trouble. I'm afraid the court will investigate him for failing to supervise his personnel!"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Huotian turned his head and asked Shi Yuyan: "Chief Leader, what should we do?"

~~
Shi Yuyan gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go to Kyoto and see Shi Tianyu. He is our God of Wealth, he cannot fall.

If Shi Tianyu falls, our Ming Cult will be completely finished. Only if Shi Tianyu is alive can we fully support the Ming Cult and revive its glory. I don't know if there will be chaos in the world in the future, but it is true that the Ming court is facing internal and external troubles. If the problem in Liaodong cannot be solved, the civil strife will never be resolved. This is certain.

Even if the remnants of the Mahayana sect are destroyed, other sects will rise up against the Ming court in the future. Because Shi Tianyu is the only official in the Ming court who truly cares about the people of the world. According to the information provided by our disciples lurking in the court, Wei Yan and his gang are only concerned about grabbing power and making money. The Donglin people are only concerned about superficial work, not good at governing, and they suppress officials of other factions at every turn.

As long as someone disagreed with them in governing the court, the Donglin dissenters would immediately attack them, severely criticizing this and that, making enemies everywhere, especially suppressing the development of industry and commerce, which had already aroused serious public indignation.

~~
Everyone nodded.

Liu An'er hurriedly packed up and prepared to go to Kyoto with Shi Yuyan and her group.

Xie Haiting asked Shi Yuyan in a trembling voice: "Chief Leader, didn't Lord Shi follow the order to go to the Lindan tribe to fight the Jin soldiers?"

Shi Yuyan said firmly: "Then we have to go to the capital and wait for Shi Tianyu to come back. It is not difficult to relieve the siege of Lindan tribe. When Shi Tianyu was in office in Fucheng, he had killed more than 100,000 bandits. Why should he be afraid of a few tens of thousands of Jin soldiers? I am afraid that when we rush to Kyoto, Shi Tianyu will have returned to Kyoto from Lindan tribe."

Everyone had no objection and immediately left Hongxing Escort Agency and rushed to Kyoto.

~~
Kyoto is full of lush green trees and colorful flowers.

In Mingjing Inn, willow catkins are flying and locust trees are fragrant.

After Shi Tianyu sent Liu An'er and her two sons to the Hongxing Escort Agency in Yiling, he flew back to Mingjing Inn in Kyoto. As soon as he landed, he found that Wei Xueyan, leading a group of highly skilled Jinyiwei soldiers, were already waiting for him at Mingjing Inn.

Wei Xueyan said dissatisfiedly: "Shi Tianyu, where have you been again? Didn't I tell you not to wander around? Don't you know that the Ming Dynasty has undergone tremendous changes now?"

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "I have been idle for more than two months. I am so bored. I have to go around for a while, right? Otherwise, I will be bored to death. If you have any important matters, please tell me what to do."

Wei Xueyan turned sideways, took the imperial edict from He Xiangu's hand, opened it, and said, "Light incense and receive the edict."

Shi Tianyu quickly did as he was told.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu and everyone else knelt down to receive the order.

Wei Xueyan read aloud: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: The Lindan tribe was besieged by the Jin soldiers because they refused to form an alliance with them. According to the court's discussion, the imperial court specially ordered Shi Tianyu, a second-rank official, the Dragon Court General, the Jinyiwei Tongzhi, and the former Fucheng prefect, to be the general grain officer of the army and the head of the six ministries, and ordered Shi Tianyu to go out of the border immediately, go to the Lindan tribe, drive out the Jin soldiers, and help the Lindan tribe out of trouble.

In view of the difficulties faced by the imperial court, Shi Tianyu went out of the border to rescue the Lindan tribe, raising his own troops, money and food.

After rescuing Lin Dan's tribe, Shi Tianyu immediately returned to Beijing to meet the emperor, and went to various prefectures, counties and cities across the country to set up offices and handle official duties.

The military and grain raising office of the whole country consists of three-rank Tongzhisi, Yayunsi, Lihuxingsi, Mubingsi, and Weaponssi. They raise their own personnel and money and grain. The appointment and dismissal of the personnel in the office shall be reported to the Ministry of Personnel for record. The money and grain raised shall be deposited in the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court, the soldiers recruited shall be deposited in the Five Military Commandery, and the weapons manufactured shall be deposited in the arsenal of the Ministry of War. I decree this!"

~~
Shi Tianyu kowtowed to express his gratitude, stood up and took the imperial edict from Wei Xueyan, and said with a smile: "Princess, can you lend me the 10,000 men and 10,000 horses of the Jinyiwei? I am the general officer of the army and grain in the world, but I am alone now and cannot fight. Moreover, the imperial edict says that we must set out immediately, where can I get the troops? Right now, the best way is to borrow troops from my mother's Jinyiwei Office."

~~
Hahahaha!

Everyone laughed.

Wei Xueyan blushed and said, "You can borrow soldiers, but you have to pay for them. Bring the money."

After saying that, he stretched out his jade-like hand towards Shi Tianyu.

Hahahaha!

Everyone burst into laughter again.

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "I'll give you money and food when I return to Kyoto. Is that okay? By then, I'll give you two million taels of silver, one million taels of silver is used to pay the court's taxes for the second half of the year. The other one million taels of silver will go to the Jinyiwei Office. However, I'll have to second Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai, and Murong Sheng, three high-ranking warriors, to work in my Tianxia Bingma Zongcai Grain Officer Escort Department for a long period of time to escort tax silver and grain for me. In addition, in addition to paying the court two million taels of silver every year, I'll give another two million taels of silver to the Jinyiwei Office. How do you think? Are the conditions favorable enough?"

Wei Xueyan laughed brightly and said, "Okay! Deal. It's settled, and your words count! In front of everyone, you can't go back on your word. Alright, Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai, and Murong Sheng will burn incense to receive the order."

After saying that, he turned sideways and took another imperial edict from He Xiangu's hand.

~~
Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng quickly laid incense to receive the order and knelt down to listen to the announcement.

Shi Tianyu suddenly felt that he had been cheated.

When it comes to setting traps for others to fall into, Wei Xueyan is an expert among experts.

~~
Wei Xueyan opened the imperial edict and read: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: In order to strengthen the safety of the transportation of grain, soldiers and weapons of the General Grain and Military Affairs Office, according to the court's discussion, Kou Yanming is appointed as the Director of the Transportation Department of the General Grain and Military Affairs Office, and is promoted to the rank of the third grade. Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng are appointed as the Assistant Commanders of the Transportation Department of the General Grain and Military Affairs Office, and are promoted to the rank of the third grade. From now on, they will be at the disposal of the General Grain and Military Affairs Office. This is my decree!"

Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng kowtowed to express their gratitude.

After standing up, Kou Yanming took the imperial edict from Wei Xueyan.

~~
Shi Tianyu said to Wei Xueyan jokingly, "It turns out that you had planned this all along and set me up again to defraud me of my promise."

Hahahaha!

Everyone laughed.

Wei Xueyan smiled and said, "I don't care. Anyway, you have publicly promised to hand over two million taels of silver to the court and the Jinyiwei Office every year. A man should keep his word!" Hahahaha!

Everyone burst into laughter again.

~~
Wei Xueyan smiled again and said, "Although the Jinyiwei has 200,000 people, there are not many cavalrymen because the court is short of money and rarely buys horses. I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to selecting 5,000 strong men with high martial arts skills for you, I will also select 5,000 famous horses from Dayuan for you.

Next, you will be responsible for the money and food along the way. However, I have prepared tents, water bags and other things for you. Later, Lord Kou and others will accompany you to the Five Military Commandery to inspect the troops.

The imperial edict says that you should leave immediately. It is 1,200 miles to the Lindan tribe. In this weather, you can reach the prairie in two days. You need to prepare money and food.

In addition, I have used 100 kilograms of gold to forge a golden shield for you. I am afraid that this golden shield is the most luxurious weapon in the world.

Also, I have made you a five or six foot long Fang Tian Ji, made of fine steel and weighing more than eighty kilograms. When the time comes, with a shield in your left hand and the halberd in your right hand, you will surely establish the image of a god of war and enhance the prestige of our Ming Dynasty.

Let's go, have a safe journey, and come back soon. The remnants of the Mahayana sect have already started a rebellion in Sichuan, and we need you to come back to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion."

After that, he led He Xiangu, Juping, Qian Gang, Shao Qicong and others away.

~~
Shi Tianyu shouted hurriedly, "Please prepare some more carriages for me to carry money and food. I will need them when I go to the border to fight. Also, my weapons are heavy, so please prepare a good horse for me, please."

Wei Xueyan was startled, stopped, turned around, looked at Shi Tianyu, thought for a moment, and nodded.

~~
Kou Yanming then took out the golden shield and Fang Tian Ji from under the tree.

Shi Tianyu took the golden shield and the Fang Tian Ji, gathered his energy and used his internal strength, then danced quickly with the shield in the left hand and the halberd in the right hand.

The onlookers only felt the howling of the wind and quickly moved away.

Shi Tianyu held the pair of luxurious weapons, defending with the left and attacking with the right, smashing, sweeping, blocking, chopping, stabbing, and provoking.

The golden shield was dazzling in the sun, the red cherries on the painted halberd were flying, and the crescent blade on the Fang Tian Ji was shining coldly.

~~
"Good! Master Shi is really good at kung fu!"

"Master Shi is so powerful!"

"Master Shi's martial arts are very diverse! What school does he belong to?"

Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai, Murong Sheng and others all praised it.

Shi Tianyu put away his fighting stance and said to Kou Yanming, "Sir Kou, you guys go to the Five Military Commandery to gather 5,000 soldiers. I'll go borrow some food first. I'll see you at the Five Military Commandery training ground later."

"Yes!" Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai, Murong Sheng and others bowed and left.

~~
Shi Tianyu then threw the golden shield and Fang Tianji into the system space, walked to Liu Mansion and met Liu Cong.

At this time, Liu Laifu, Jiang Xiao and others, as well as more than 200 constables, some scholars and candidates, and many of their families, had already arrived at Liu's residence in Kyoto. The small Liu's residence was very crowded, with people standing everywhere and no one could sit.

They can only stand one next to another.

Everyone was extremely excited to meet Shi Tianyu.

~~
Shi Tianyu loudly described his new position, and then showed the imperial edict to Liu Cong, Jiang Xiao, and Liu Laifu for review. He immediately announced the appointment of Liu Cong as the director of the Tongzhisi of the National Military and Grain Procurement Office, in charge of the Tongzhisi, and promoted him to the fifth rank.

Jiang Xiao and Liu Lai-fu were appointed as Tongzhisi experiences and promoted to the seventh rank.

The other more than 200 constables and several scholars and juren were all promoted to the eighth rank. Eighty constables and some scholars and juren were transferred to the Tongzhi Division, led by Liu Cong.

Jiang Xiao led eighty detectives and some scholars to take charge of the Ministry of Personnel, Households and Criminal Affairs.

Liu Laifu led eighty constables and some scholars to be in charge of the Recruiting Department.

In this way, everyone was happy and cried with excitement.

They all didn't expect that after they were dismissed from their posts in Fucheng government office, they were promoted after coming to Kyoto, and even their families could live in Kyoto from then on. It was really a roller coaster ride, and they felt that Shi Tianyu was indeed their noble benefactor in life.

~~
Shi Tianyu ordered Liu Cong to lead Jiang Xiao and Liu Laifu to the street to carve seals, buy ink and the four treasures of the study. At the same time, he informed Qin Zhengfang, Yuchisong, Dudu and Luo Baozhong to follow him to fight, and asked Qin Zhengfang and others to ride horses to the grassland to meet.

He also informed Zhou Shaozhou to send someone to take away the families of these constables, and took out some money from his own share dividends to rent a house to provide accommodation and food for the families of these constables.

As for going to Jiangnan to acquire the branches of the Heheng Chain Bank, I would take charge of it after I return from the war outside the Great Wall.

Zhou Shaozhou could not "transmit sound over a thousand miles", "transmit sound through the sky", or "transmit sound in secret".

However, upon hearing that Shi Tianyu was promoted to a second-rank official and appointed as the chief grain officer for the entire army, he did not dare to be negligent and quickly sent someone to arrange for the family of the official from Fucheng to be settled for Shi Tianyu.

~~
Then, Shi Tianyu asked Liu Cong to lead Jiang Xiao, Liu Laifu and more than 200 detectives to gather at Mingjing Inn in an hour.

In this way, Shi Tianyu returned to Mingjing Inn first and brought down 10,000 stones of grain.

Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Situ Yan, Wang Jing and others were also drifted down, and they were ordered to lead the disciples of the Tiandihui to find a way to find the whereabouts of the Zhili Iron Gang and the Qilu Iron Gang and the place where the money and grain were hidden.

When Shi Tianyu returns from the battle outside the Great Wall, he will destroy these two gangs and raise funds and food.

Moreover, Ma Deming had led the disciples of the Tiandihui and had already set out for several days, so he should have some information.

And equipped Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Situ Yan, Wang Jing and others with spirit dogs such as "Duoduo", "Shiyu", "Yayun", "Mingyue" and BMWs such as "Jueying BMW", "Zhua Huangfeidian", "Zhaoye Yushizi" and "Bailongma".

Shi Tianyu took "Dudu" and "Minmin" with him when he went out of the border.

Helan Minyue and others immediately rode away.

~~
After Liu Cong and others arrived at Mingjing Inn, Shi Tianyu asked the constables to load the grain onto the carts, and asked Liu Cong to think about it and formulate regulations and rules for the general grain-raising office of the whole country, as well as the implementation details for the handover of money, grain, soldiers and weapons from the Tongzhisi, Yayunsi, Lihuxingsi, Mubingsi, and Weaponssi.

Afterwards, he took out the golden shield and Hongming sword, threw the Xuanyuan sword back into the study of the system space locker No. 2, and then he took the golden shield and the Hongming sword on his back, and took a carriage with Liu Cong to the Five Army Commander's Office to inspect the troops. Kou Yanming reported to Shi Tianyu that Li Zhenhai was going to escort Yin Youzhao to Jingzhou for inspection, so Li Zhenhai could not go out to participate in the battle this time.

~~
Shi Tianyu nodded.

At this time, Wei Xueyan, Juping and He Xiangu were all dressed as scholars and rode over on horseback.

He Xiangu also came leading a snow-white BMW, which was exactly Wei Xueyan's mount, the "Chasing Wind BMW".

At this time, Wei Xueyan was riding a Ferghana horse, her whole body was bright red, like a red cloud.

Wei Xueyan smiled brightly and said, "To become a disciple and learn martial arts, one must always pay a price. General Shi, I will give you the Feng Zhui BMW as a gift. This time, I will go with you to fight in the frontier and learn military affairs. I hope you can teach me the art of war."

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Sure! You have to wash clothes and cook for me along the way."

~~
Hahahaha!

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wei Xueyan glared at Shi Tianyu angrily, her pretty face flushed, and turned away.

He Xiangu led the horse over and threw the reins to Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu hung the golden shield diagonally on the saddle, ordered his men to pick up Dudu, carry Minmin on his back, jumped onto the horse, waved his hand, gave the order to set off, and led Kou Yanming, Murong Sheng and five thousand Jinyiwei, rode out of Kyoto and rushed to the grassland.

As they marched towards the grassland, they selected two Jinyiwei leaders, Cen Zhan and Yu Li, from the Jinyiwei, to lead two thousand Jinyiwei to be responsible for escorting money and grain. At the same time, they asked Murong Sheng to lead two hundred Jinyiwei to ride horses quickly, explore the way forward, and gather various information. They asked Kou Yanming to be responsible for protecting Wei Xueyan.

Shi Tianyu led 3,000 Jinyiwei cavalrymen and advanced towards the Lindan tribe on the grassland at a normal marching speed.

~~
Leaving Kyoto and heading northeast, the grassland is like a huge green painting with lush grass and endless green sea.

Amid the vast sea of ​​forest and clouds, a nimble eagle overlooks the grassland, and the white clouds seem to be floating above people's heads.

However, the population is sparse and it takes a long time to see a few herdsmen driving cattle, sheep and camels.
