"Ding! Does the host wish to use it?"
"No!"
...
The second day of the first month in the third year of Da Han.
In the Xuanzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace of the Da Han Dynasty, the commanders of the seven great legions had returned to their respective garrisons after Da Han was promoted to an imperial dynasty, in case of the invasion of the ancient desolate army.
Within the hall, among the ranks of military generals and heroes, only Hua Mulan, Fu Hao, Gao Changgong, and Ma Yuan were present.
Wei Zhongxian, holding the imperial decree, looked sternly at the civil and military officials in the hall, and then shouted loudly.
"Effective immediately, the Qiongqi Legion shall be divided into three armies. General Meng Tian will remain the commander of the Qiongqi Legion, and Xun An will be its military advisor!"
"The commander of the First Army of the Qiongqi Legion is Meng Tian, and the副将 (deputy general) is Zhang Han!"
"The commander of the Second Army of the Qiongqi Legion is Hua Mulan, and the副将 is Lu Junyi!"
"The commander of the Third Army of the Qiongqi Legion is Fu Hao!"
"Effective immediately, Gao Changgong is appointed commander of the Lietian Si Legion, with Ying Bu as his副将!"
"Effective immediately, Ma Yuan is appointed commander of the Third Army of the Azure Dragon Legion!"
Upon the establishment of the Lietian Si Legion, the position of commander had always been held by Meng Tian, the commander of the Qiongqi Legion. Now, with the emergence of Gao Changgong, it further strengthened the Lietian Si Legion, allowing it to march independently in all directions in the future!
With the commander of the Lietian Si Legion returning to his post, the seven great legions of Da Han were officially formed!
"Your humble subject thanks the King!"
In the hall, Hua Mulan, Fu Hao, Gao Changgong, Xun An, and Ma Yuan bowed respectfully. Su Dan novel network.
The civil and military officials in the hall were all shaken. Every time a martial artist appeared inexplicably, they were entrusted with important responsibilities by the Han Emperor. Hua Mulan and Fu Hao needed no further explanation; after yesterday's battle, their names had already spread far and wide!
However, among those three, one was particularly strange. His face was covered with a golden mask, making him appear exceptionally mysterious from afar!
No one dared to say much. Da Han was already famous for its elite legion commanders, such as Qi Jiguang, Qin Qiong, and others. Every commander was an outstanding individual.
Being personally appointed by the Han Emperor as the commander of an army within the Lietian Si Legion, he must possess extraordinary abilities, likely on par with the commanders of the other six legions.
"Human Emperor!"
At this moment, Changsun Wuji, the Minister of Personnel, stepped forward after the enfeoffment of the heroes was completed, and bowed respectfully to Yang Hao.
"Human Emperor, the officials of Cangmu Prefecture, Shengyuan Prefecture, Tianyuan Prefecture, and Beihan Prefecture have all been appointed. The implementation of Da Han's policies and laws has encountered no significant resistance, and is now proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner!"
"Tens of millions of common people have been gradually resettled in Tianyue Prefecture and Dayan Prefecture. I believe that within a few years, the spiritual energy of these two prefectures will gradually recover!"
Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "As for Yuan Prefecture (the former territory of the Human Emperor Hall), after continuous nourishment from the nine cauldrons of destiny, the malevolent energy lingering in the void has completely dispersed. I have dispatched officials to inspect the area, and Yuan Prefecture is now suitable for human habitation!"
"En!"
Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction. "In that case, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue should draft a plan to continue relocating suitable populations from other prefectures to develop Yuan Prefecture!"
"The newly established human territories in the Southwest Region of Da Han, the selection of some officials should give slight consideration to the people of the newly demarcated prefectures. Some policies should not be implemented too rigidly!"
"As for the local powers in Cangmu Prefecture, Shengyuan Prefecture, Beihan Prefecture, and Tianyuan Prefecture, they must all be brought under the unified management of the imperial court. If they resist and disobey, if necessary, a large army can be dispatched to suppress them all!"
...
Following Changsun Wuji's memorial, the ministers of various ministries and local officials also progressively presented important information to Yang Hao in detail.
Time passed quickly, and three hours elapsed in the blink of an eye!
"Human Emperor!"
Li Si stepped forward with a solemn expression. "Human Emperor, the newly demarcated prefectures of Da Han have been ravaged by the Four Great Ancient Desolates, resulting in a sharp decline in population and severe damage to spiritual energy. To further stabilize the national destiny of Da Han and restore the people's livelihood, I suggest further policy inclinations for the various prefectures!"
"Allow our prefectures of Da Han to catch their breath and provide the common people with the basic guarantees they deserve!"
"Your humble subject seconds this motion!"
"Your humble subject seconds this motion!"
"Your humble subject seconds this motion!"
...
At once, all the civil and military officials in the hall knelt on both knees. Da Han's pace had been too rapid, so rapid that it was almost unbelievable to everyone!
In just two years since the founding of Da Han, it had risen from a remote maritime territory to the sole ruler of the human lands in the Southwest Region!
Although they had progressed step by step, the pace had been too fast. In just two years, while Da Han's top combat power was not lacking, its local development had inevitably lagged behind, especially in the eight newly demarcated prefectures.
The population had sharply decreased, and spiritual energy was severely depleted. Even with the nourishment of the nine cauldrons of destiny, it would take decades to recover. The two interceptions led by the Ten Elders had resulted in the deaths of millions of elites, which were the last reserves of the four great dynasties at that time. Such a loss could not be recovered without long-term accumulation.
Tianyue Prefecture and Dayan Prefecture had even been destroyed as nations, and their vast territories had turned into scorched earth!
Yang Hao naturally understood all of this. He looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and said calmly, "The origin of the human lands has been damaged!"
"Issue an order for all departments to revolve around the Pill Hall, in conjunction with Da Han's laws and policies, to provide further support to the people of Da Han!"
"The newly incorporated prefectures will be exempt from taxes for five years!"
"As for the Four Great Ancient Desolates, it is unlikely that they will allow our human race to recuperate. Order the seven great legions stationed at the border of Da Han to remain on the front lines. If the ancient desolates invade, they must be repelled at the gates of our nation!"
The newly demarcated prefectures would receive as much policy inclination as possible from the imperial court, and they would require a period of repair. It was unlikely that the ancient desolates would easily agree to this.
What he could do now was to intercept the invasion of the ancient desolates at the gates of the nation. As for the territories of the ancient desolates, he would occupy them whenever possible!
Yang Hao said calmly, his expression normal, "Prime Minister Li Si will be fully in charge of this matter. All departments must cooperate closely!"
"The court is adjourned!"
...
"Human Emperor, the truce agreement from the Nine-Headed Serpent clan of the Nine Nether Desolate Region!"
"Oh?"
In the sleeping quarters, Yang Hao opened the letter presented by Mao Xiang.
"Human Emperor, this is the truce agreement received by Chen Gong, the military advisor of the Vermilion Bird Legion, early this morning. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the military advisor has dispatched several beast scouts to infiltrate the ancient desolates!"
"Human Emperor, something has happened in the extreme northern region of the Heavenly Demon Desolate Region!"
"En?"
Yang Hao looked at the truce agreement from the Nine-Headed Serpent clan. Between the lines, there was a tone of a superior ordering a subordinate, showing no respect for the human race or for him.
"What happened?"
"The Imperial Dynasty's secret treasury palace has appeared in the extreme northern region of the Heavenly Demon Desolate Region!"
"What did you say? Is there any news of Xu Chu?"
