"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1073
Chen Zi'ang paid homage to the imperial mausoleum of the former dynasty, announced to the world that he was the crown prince of the former dynasty, and the Qinghe Army immediately burst into joy.
After all, the commander-in-chief they followed turned out to be the former prince. As long as they help Chen Ziang restore the country, they must be heroes, so their fighting spirit is even higher, and they feel that the future can be expected.
Countless people who were in dire straits were full of expectations when they heard that the former prince led the army to rescue them.
Moreover, the intelligence agencies and propaganda departments of the Qinghe Army have already been building momentum on a large scale in the early stage.
Let the people know that in the previous dynasty everyone had clothes to wear, everyone had food to eat, and everyone had land to cultivate, so they were also full of envy for the life of the former dynasty.
Now that a prince from the previous dynasty suddenly appeared and wanted to restore the previous dynasty, they were naturally inclined to Chen Ziang in their hearts.
Moreover, I heard that the Qinghe Army under Chen Ziang's command was strict in military discipline, and that it did not commit any crimes against the common people, which undoubtedly further proved that those rumors were true.
Therefore, the people in all provinces are full of expectations for Chen Ziang, the former prince, and are full of hostility to the forces that rule them now.
In addition to these common people, there are also some far-sighted forces who also saw the purpose of Chen Ziang's former prince's banner.
Those forces that are trying to survive in the cracks of various major forces naturally want to embrace the thigh of the Qinghe Army at this moment, and naturally they will not miss this good opportunity.
They all expressed their favor to the Qinghe army as descendants of former loyal ministers and generals, and expressed their willingness to listen to the orders of His Royal Highness Chen Ziang to restore the Far East Empire.
In a short period of time, countless forces put themselves under the command of the Qinghe Army under the guise of former loyal ministers and good generals.
Chen Zi'ang had already anticipated this situation when he assumed the identity of the former prince.
He doesn't care whether these forces are really the descendants of those loyal ministers and generals in the previous dynasty, because he has no way to screen and judge one by one.
After all, it has been 400 years since the previous dynasty. Is he really a prince?
He used the banner of the former prince just to show his orthodox status and win the submission and support of the majority of the gentry.
And now countless forces are coming to vote one after another. Even if they are not the descendants of good generals and loyal ministers of the previous dynasty, they just want to find a good future.
Facing these people, Chen Ziang naturally would not refuse anyone, because this would strengthen his strength.
In the past, although Chen Ziang's Qinghe army was powerful, they issued recruitment orders countless times, hoping to recruit some talents to join in the great cause.
But for those lofty scholars, no matter how powerful Chen Ziang's Qinghe army is, they are just rebels, and they are unwilling to bow their knees to serve.
This led to Chen Ziang having to establish Zhanzheng Academy and Yunxi Academy by himself to cultivate talents by himself.
However, with the continuous expansion of their territory, their talent gap is still very large.
Now he has suddenly transformed from a traitor to a former prince, even more orthodox than the royal family of the Dragon family, which leaves those scholars speechless.
Although those scholars also know that it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of Chen Ziang, the former prince, but they don't have the time to do so.
In the past, Chen Ziang carried the name of a rebel, and they were unwilling to be with the rebels, so they would rather live a hard life than be loyal.
But now the situation has changed, no matter whether Chen Ziang is real or not, anyway, he has the orthodox name and is powerful.
So it seems that in order to adapt to the situation, those scholars no longer cared about the details, and began to seek refuge with Chen Ziang one after another.
Because they know very well in their hearts that the world is in chaos now, and Chen Ziang is the strongest and the most orthodox. It is the best choice to seek refuge in Chen Ziang.
And Chen Ziang became the prince of the former dynasty, which can be said to have removed an obstacle for all forces to take refuge in the Qinghe Army.
It is justifiable for them to seek refuge with Chen Ziang now, instead of being with the rebels.
Seeing countless common people, scholars and various forces vote one after another, Chen Ziang also knew that his move was right.
"I never thought that Chen Ziang would come up with such a move!"
When he learned that Chen Zi'ang had affixed himself as the prince of the former dynasty, Liang Bin, the deputy marshal of the imperial guards in Hezhong Province, was also furious.
?Because Chen Ziang became the former prince, and he kept slandering the Long family for rebellion.
?If the family is rebellious, then the crown prince in his hand is also the heir of rebellion. Naturally, it is not orthodox, it is equivalent to holding a piece of trash in his hand.
For Liang Bin and the others, Chen Ziang was a means to deliberately elevate his status, but the key point was that countless people believed in Chen Ziang's identity, and this was the most important thing.
"Damn Chen Ziang!"
The rebel emperor Long Tian was also very angry, because Chen Zi'ang's move was completely a draw from the bottom of the pot for him.
He, the emperor, was not orthodox in the first place, but relied abruptly on the support of the northern army, and the support of the Zhendong army could be countered by the imperial court.
Now that he finally killed his eldest brother, as long as he kills his nephew and occupies the capital, he will be the orthodox emperor.
But who knew that Chen Yaojin had been killed halfway, and after a long time, their Long family were all rebels from the previous dynasty.
Now even if he kills his nephew and occupies the capital, his identity is still unclear. This makes Long Tian quite annoyed, and he also hates Chen Ziang.
"Interesting, the princes from the previous dynasty have all appeared."
After hearing the news, King Youxian of the Grassland was also surprised.
Because the development of the matter was beyond their expectations, they originally wanted to go to the river to snatch the crown prince of the Dragon family, and then set up a puppet emperor to achieve the goal of controlling the Far East Dynasty.
It's just that now that Chen Ziang has made such a fuss, the value of the crown prince in the river has dropped steadily.
After all, according to Chen Zi'ang's propaganda, the Long family was originally rebellious, and the people hated the Long family so much, so they all believed it one after another, which made things difficult for them.
"Then Chen Ziang said that he is the prince of the previous dynasty, so it is not worthwhile for us to go and grab the crown prince in the river. After all, the people have already believed that the Long family is the rebellion of the previous dynasty. Why don't we follow the people's will and get a prince from the previous dynasty?" .¡±
When King Youxian was thinking about how to deal with this matter, some staff made suggestions.
"That's right, Chen Zi'ang said he was the prince of the previous dynasty, so we can get one too." King You Xian slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"You have to do this thing quickly, and you can't let that Chen Ziang steal the limelight!"
"No!"
When King Youxian also wanted to imitate Chen Ziang and create another former prince to fool him, Hu Ziyang, the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guard in Hezhong Province, also faced a difficult choice.
Previously, Hu Ziyang wanted to go to Liang Bin to snatch the crown prince into his own hands, and then he used this to command the world.
But now that Chen Ziang's troubles have changed the situation drastically, causing the orthodox status of the Long family to be questioned and subverted, it is meaningless for them to go grab the crown prince again.
Because even if the crown prince was robbed, the people in the world would not recognize it. Under Chen Ziang's repeated propaganda, they already had preconceptions that the Long family was rebellious.
And the 300,000 army under his command suffered heavy losses in the battle with Liang Bin, and now there is no stable rear, and there is an extreme shortage of food and fodder, which makes Hu Ziyang's situation extremely difficult. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
