Ding: The temporary mission "Suppressing the Bashu Rebellion" has been completed.
Congratulations to the lord for obtaining 10,000 mission reward points.
When Sima Yu heard the system prompt, he knew that the crisis in Bashu had been resolved.
Two days later, when the heads of Li Te and others were sent to Luoyang, Sima Yu was watching the new forbidden army in the military camp in Luoyang City.
At present, the total number of the imperial troops in Luoyang is 20,000, which is a standing army, and the military camp is set up in Luoyang City.
Waiying soldiers were service soldiers recruited from the Sili area where the capital was located.
There are 50,000 troops, and the camp is located outside Luoyang City.
Sima Yu planned to update the equipment and combat modes of the Forbidden Army first, and then make the outer camp troops permanent like the Forbidden Army.
Use the iron pagoda and kaizi horses in the acropolis to train new imperial cavalry, use Chuanyang archers to train new archers, and use black armor iron guards and sword and shield heavy infantry to train new infantry.
Of course, it is impossible for infantry to reach the level of the system's Black Armor Iron Guard, but under the training of the Black Armor Iron Guard, the individual combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
To this end, Sima Yu created a hundred Chuanyang archers to teach the Forbidden Army archers how to shoot, and two hundred sword and shield heavy infantry to teach the infantry the use of shield formation and javelin.
It cost 2,400 points before and after.
The reason why Sima Yu no longer has long-handled weapons such as swordsmen or spearmen is because in this era, long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows are widely equipped.
Even the cavalry of the Saibei Hu people are almost always equipped with strong bows, and usually rely on mounted shooting as their main combat mode.
In addition, taking the current equipment of the Forbidden Army itself, each infantry is equipped with a repeating crossbow produced by the Acropolis Workshop.
Therefore, units such as spears or spear-like Mo Dao soldiers are temporarily unavailable.
The large amount of Liannu equipment also caused Sima Yu to configure a very small proportion of archers, which was approximately 1:10.
There are only 2,000 specialized archers among the 20,000 imperial troops.
These archers will no longer be used for intensive shooting in front of the formation, but will be used for precise shooting and sniping when the two armies are fighting.
Finally, Sima Yu also purchased additional crossbows for the Forbidden Army, for which he spent 2,000 points to generate 1,000 system crossbow gunners.
Sima Yu trained his soldiers so hard to prepare for the coming storm.
Only an elite army that can kill the enemy chieftain in one fell swoop can prevent the Jin Dynasty from losing too much internal strength.
When Sima Yu returned to the palace, Zhongshu ordered Zhang Hua to wait outside the palace for a long time.
Sima Yu quickly ordered Huangmen to lead him into the palace.
"Zhang Qing is here at this time, there must be something important," Sima Yu asked Zhang Hua, who had just sat down.
"Exactly.
His Majesty issued the imperial edict to the second batch of royal princes through Zhongshu Province a few days ago.
Only a handful of princes and marquises responded and are on their way to Luoyang.
A small number of others have responded.
Most of the others didn’t even respond with various excuses.”
Sima Yu sneered and said: "Back then, when my father was still alive, they were all vying to come to the capital and become officials in the Anhui Province.
How come I have ascended the throne, but they all hunkered down in their fiefdoms and just settled down to be emperors.
After all, it's not because they could really control the real power by entering Huizhou and Beijing, but now they can't do it, so none of them are willing to come. " Zhang Hua bowed to Sima Yu and then said: "What the Holy One said is absolutely true, but there are more and more princes who are disobedient and disobeying the imperial edict.
If this trend continues, none of the next batch of princes will obey the imperial edict.
That way, Your Majesty I am afraid that the plan to reduce the vassal state will not be carried out. " Sima Yu said to Zhang Hua angrily: "This is all because the rebellious princes in the past were not punished.
Of course, the people behind will follow suit, and my power as emperor will be damaged."
After a pause, He said again and again: "So, now I have to take action.
I have to kill a chicken to scare these monkeys."
Sima Yao, the king of Dong'an, was the first prince who refused to obey the imperial edict.
His feudal kingdom was far away in the remote Daifang County, which now belongs to the North Yellow Sea Road, more than three thousand miles away from Luoyang.
So Sima Yao didn't take Sima Yu's edict seriously at all.
He thought that the three great gods around Sima Yu couldn't take care of it, so how could they reach out to this remote small feudal country.
However, he was wrong.
A "cavalry" of about a thousand people was setting off from Luoyang at this time, heading eastward towards Qingzhou.
But this is not a real cavalry, but an assault force composed of pure black armored iron guards, with as many as a thousand people.

For this operation, Sima Yu spent 4,500 points to generate another 500 black armored guards.
These thousand people traveled day and night, stopping secretly only in counties close to the imperial court to replenish supplies and replace horses.
Even to the prefects of these counties, they would not reveal the true purpose of the trip.
They would only show these local officials the seal and the emperor's edict asking them to cooperate with this army to replenish supplies.
After only ten days of rapid march, they arrived at Donglai County, the easternmost part of Qingzhou, across the sea from Daifang County.
They met with the governor of Donglai County and presented the emperor's secret edict.
Ask him to recruit large ships to transport troops and the most skilled sailors.
The prefect did not dare to neglect, and asked all county officials to take action and act according to the imperial edict.
But this ship is easy to find, but the sailors who dare to cross the sea to the east are not easy to find.
Donglai and Daifang are said to face each other across the sea, but the shortest distance of this sea is more than 500 miles wide, and the sea conditions and hydrology are far from comparable to inland seas like the Bohai Sea.
Traditionally, people traveling to the Central Plains usually take the land route.
Even the water route does not go directly across the sea, but takes a safe route along the coastline and loops in the Bohai Sea.
Therefore, it is difficult to find sailors for this operation.
At the same time, it is also a gamble for Sima Yu.
Maybe a storm, typhoon, or the ship deviates from the course and sails to the wild lands controlled by the Three Hans in the south or even the Japanese Islands further south, can cause them to lose these precious black armor iron guards.
In the end, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward.
Three days later, the government of Donglai County raised ten large-scale ships and nearly two hundred skilled sailors who were willing to take risks at a high price.
Many of these sailors had been to Daifang County, and some of them had experience in crossing the sea.
Ten large ships sailed into the rough sea and disappeared under the horizon.
In Prince Dong'an's palace in Daifang City, people were still singing and dancing, but they had no idea that a catastrophe was about to happen.
Sima Yao, the king of Dong'an, who was drunk and dreaming, hugged him from left to right and went wild.
On the dark sea outside the city, ten black shadows came slowly and stopped not far from the shore.
It was the Black Armor Iron Guard who came across the sea.
Fortunately, the coast here is not high mountains and cliffs, but flat beaches.
The Iron Guards jumped off the ship directly and took advantage of the moonlight.
Under the guidance of sailors who were familiar with the navigation, the files waded into the water.
It didn't take long for them to land on the coast.
Dong'an Kingdom obviously didn't expect that the imperial court would send out the imperial army to attack, let alone come directly across the sea.
There are no pirates or bandits here, so there are no soldiers patrolling the coast.
Not long after, the sparkling city was right in front of the Iron Guards
