Chapter 802: Submission and Recruiting Militia
Chapter 802: Submission and Recruiting Militia
Chu Ying's heart tightened, now that things had come to this point.
I'm afraid it's not as Qin Ming said, that he would give himself two choices.
But he now only has two choices.
Seeing his extremely serious expression, Qin Ming spoke in a gentle tone:
"You can leave, leave the Western Regions, and take your wealth and flee far away."
"But there is one thing we must agree on. From now on, you are not allowed to set foot here."
Originally, Qin Ming wanted to kill him, but after all, Chu Ying had made a lot of contributions to the entire Datong sect during this period of time.
It would be too unkind to kill him in front of Xuanfeng and Elder Song.
Qin Ming was ready to let him go.
But when he left, he needed to promise never to return to the Western Regions.
Chu Ying felt a pang of regret in his heart.
He understood that with his current status, he could no longer stay in the Western Regions.
Especially in the Western Regions, there are still many forces that he can summon.
These people are likely to cause unrest in the area again.
As Qin Ming is about to take control of the Western Regions, he certainly cannot allow such people to exist in his territory.
But this was his hometown where he had lived for many years, so he left with the money.
Then all one's glory and reputation will be abandoned.
Maybe in a few years, or even a few years, it won’t be needed.
In just a few months, people will forget everything about him.
It was as if he had never appeared.
This was something he, who had once been so glorious, could never accept.
So without even thinking, he continued to ask Qin Ming:
"Your Majesty, what is the second point you mentioned?"
"The other path is that you can continue to work for the Datong Sect and help me win the battle in the Western Regions. I will give you the position you deserve."
Chu Ying was silent for a moment, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He didn't expect that he would be involved in such a huge chess game.
The forces that he had established before, as well as the struggle between the Western Region Chamber of Commerce and the Western Region Allied Forces.
It was all to pave the way for the Datong sect and also for Daqian.
Fortunately, he had also thought about what methods he would implement to govern the entire Western Region if he unified it.
Now I think I was so naive.
When he thought he was in the best of times, he actually didn't understand that there are always people better than you.
From the beginning to the end, this chess game was not something a businessman like him could participate in.
The emperor of Daqian showed up in person, clearly considering the Western Regions as his own.
If he chooses to leave, he may be able to save his life, but he will lose everything.
If he chooses to stay, although the risks are huge, he may have a chance to turn things around in the future.
"Your Majesty, I...can you give me one night to think about it?"
Chu Ying hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said.
Although he is a person who can judge the situation, the risks of following Qin Ming are also huge.
There is no guarantee that you won’t lose your life later.
He needed to think carefully about whether there was any benefit in following Qin Ming.
"Of course, but I'm very pressed for time. I'll give you an incense stick of time."
Qin Ming spoke slowly, then pointed to the incense burner next to him.
Elder Song immediately stepped forward and lit a stick of incense.
Chu Ying remained silent and waited until the incense burned out before he finally raised his head.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't have many choices. If he wanted to continue his glorious life, he had to follow Qin Ming.
At this moment, he figured it out.
"I am willing to continue working for the Datong Sect."
Qin Ming smiled, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes:
"Very good, I was right about you."
Chu Ying nodded, and then said something that surprised Qin Ming.
"Your Majesty should remember that I have hidden a large amount of wealth in various places. If you don't mind, I am willing to donate it to the sect."
"Such a big deal? That's a lot of money!"
Elder Song on the side suddenly widened his eyes.
He had heard before that Chu Ying had handed over part of his property to the court.
Just a part of it is worth tens of millions of taels.
Now he wants to take out all his belongings, which will indeed bring a lot of benefits to the entire sect.
Chu Ying’s idea was very simple. Since he had already boarded Qin Ming’s big ship, he would use the resources at his disposal.
Anyway, I will have a chance to make a living from Qin Ming in the future.
Making a contribution early is like providing timely assistance, while making a contribution later is like adding icing on the cake. The difference between the two is not a millimeter.
"No matter how much, it's all used to get things done. Money is only useful if it's spent."
Chu Ying spoke seriously.
His thoughts were very clear from beginning to end. After hearing this, Qin Ming was very satisfied with his answer.
However, he still wanted to confirm the other party's thoughts, so he asked him back.
"This is your family property. Are you willing to give up so much silver to Daqian?"
Chu Ying immediately shook his head.
"I don't have any more money to turn around. It's just material possessions. I've learned a lot about making money in my life, and I can always earn more."
With his ability, he could indeed make money at any time. After all, he was Qin Ming, the former president of the Western Region Chamber of Commerce, and he believed what he said.
After thinking about this, he nodded and comforted him:
"Don't worry, if you do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly."
"Then I'll be grateful for your guidance, Your Majesty."
Chu Ying clasped his fists towards Qin Ming.
From this moment on, he truly joined the Datong Sect and boarded this big ship.
Qin Ming asked Elder Song and Xuan Feng to arrange several other elders in charge of specific matters and introduce them all to Chu Ying.
The situation in the Western Regions is changing rapidly nowadays.
With Qin Ming's secret support, the Datong sect gradually grew stronger.
With the addition of Chu Ying, the sect's strength has been greatly enhanced.
However, although they are powerful, they do not have complete control over this area.
The Western Region Allied Forces are still entrenched in the core area of the Western Region, watching covetously.
Just from the positions they occupied, it was clear that these people had never thought of giving up.
But things have come to this point, the Western Region coalition forces must be defeated.
Otherwise Qin Ming would not have come here in person.
In order to completely defeat the Western Regions coalition forces.
Qin Ming secretly stationed inside the Datong sect and personally took command.
Begin intensive preparations for a full-scale attack.
The first step they took was to absorb the militia forces previously recruited by the Western Region Chamber of Commerce.
These militias were originally formed by the Western Region Chamber of Commerce for self-protection.
Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of regular troops, they are numerous and very familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions.
Because the Western Region Chamber of Commerce was disbanded, these militiamen had nowhere to go.
Most of them became refugees.
The first people Qin Ming targeted were this group of people.
Early the next morning.
Elder Xuanfeng found Chu Ying early, sat beside him, and whispered:
"Boss Chu, although these militiamen have average combat effectiveness, they are very familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions. If we can make good use of them, we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Your Majesty wants you to recruit again and see if any of your old subordinates are willing to join."
"That's no problem. I have a brother who has been hiding out. If I notify him, he might be able to bring back a group of people. As for the militias scattered across the city-states, I can personally help to gather them."
