    Tie Heng left Jingping Society and headed towards West Street. Seeing that it was almost noon, Tie Heng chose a restaurant at the corner of the street and planned to finish lunch first.

    In the afternoon, he was going to participate in a black market auction. The catalog of auction items revealed in advance included geomagnetic heavy iron, which seemed to be in large quantities. This was the main material for refining gravity rings, which was exactly the purpose of Tie Heng's trip.

    This was the busiest time for the restaurant, and it was almost overcrowded. Tie Heng didn't mind it, so he shared a table with others in the lobby on the first floor and hurriedly filled his belly.

    As soon as he paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant, there was a commotion not far away. Tie Heng looked there curiously and saw the official officer opening the way in front, followed by a group of knights from the Tiger Guard, led by a soldier.  Commander, looking at the military insignia on his chest, he seems to be an officer in charge of logistics.  Luo Shouyi, the garrison general of Fuzhou, was accompanying him. Luo Shouyi was also Luo Yao's father. He had a Chinese character face, a square beard, a tall and stout man, and had the qualities of a fighting man. Luo Yao had almost no resemblance to him

    "As expected of the Tianyuwei, a small quartermaster can actually be accompanied by a state-level garrison general." Tie Heng saw Luo Shouyi's polite look, as if the other party's official position was greater than his.

    The garrison general is a general of the fourth rank, and the military officer is only a rank seven.  However, the Tianyuwei are the emperor's personal soldiers after all, and being able to become an officer among them should not be underestimated.  What's more, the Hu Ben Guards are one of the strongest troops among the twelve Heavenly Guards, which is even more remarkable.

    Speaking of which, the twelve Heavenly Guards each have their own strengths, their main force types are different, and their legion sizes also vary greatly.  For example, the Tiger Guards, like the other Longxiang Guards, are mainly heavy cavalry. Their full strength is only a little over 20,000, but they are the most powerful army in the Daei Dynasty, especially in frontal battles.  , is an almost indestructible existence.

    In addition to excellent equipment, horses, the best logistical support, food and wages, etc., they also have the most rigorous training, including several unique stunts, such as the integration of man and horse, the recovery of energy from bloodshed, etc., and the most famous one is  The most mysterious thing is the hundreds of battle tactics.

    This is a unique skill that every soldier of the Tiger Guard and the Longxiang Guard must practice. It must be practiced through months and months of fighting and accumulating evil energy.  This technique is not the strongest for individuals, but it is perfect for violent groups like the military.  When a group of soldiers who have practiced this technique share the same hatred on the battlefield and release their true energy at the same time, they will merge into a huge aura. The more people there are, the more powerful the aura will be. They can suppress the enemy's masters and even directly knock them out.  Kill.  If 20,000 people were to form one body, even the powerful ones from the Holy Realm would have to stay away.

    Of course, several other Heavenly Guards also have similar techniques, and the military calls this aura the military soul, which represents their bravery and glory.

    These skills similar to the Hundred Battles Technique have naturally become one of the top secrets of the Daei Dynasty.  In fact, the predecessors of these exercises came from the era of hundreds of tribes competing for hegemony thousands of years ago.  At that time, human beings were still in the tribal stage, and the rulers of this land were also powerful alien races.

    Sometimes when facing giant beasts or alien races with extremely powerful individual strength, human beings suffer heavy casualties, so this type of technique is invented to overcome the gap in quality with quantity.  Later, demons invaded, and humans managed to maintain a certain living space through this method.  Today, they have become powerful tools of war.

    In addition to the Longxiang Guard and the Tiger Guard, the other ten Heavenly Guards are the Qilin Guard and the Storm Lion Guard, which are mainly light cavalry, the Yingyang Guard is based on giant birds, and the Flying Guard is mainly heavy infantry.  The Bear Guard and the Xuanwu Guard, the Sirius Guard and the Jaguar Guard, which are mainly light infantry and mountain infantry, the Fengwu Guard, which is mainly the crossbowmen, the Golden Scale Guard, which is mainly the navy, and finally, they are good at reconnaissance, espionage, and assassination  , the Snake Guard who incites and causes sabotage behind enemy lines.

    The predecessor of the imperial guard these days was the imperial army of the Daiei Dynasty. However, during the Great Shattering Period a hundred years ago, the imperial court's strength was greatly damaged and the emperor's authority declined sharply. At that time, the dozen or so field legions, which were the main military force of the empire, were not fighting against demons.  If the entire army is wiped out or disabled in the battle, it means that it is controlled by generals with different ambitions and takes over the local area to form a warlord power.  The imperial court's orders were obeyed and disobeyed, and they could not be mobilized at all, leaving the imperial court almost in an embarrassing situation with no troops at its disposal.  As a last resort, Emperor Yongtai at that time abolished the Privy Council and established the Metropolitan Governor's Office. His trusted generals assumed the post of Grand Governor. He also reorganized and expanded the Royal Forest Army and used it as the backbone to create the Twelve Heavenly Guards.

    Although the Tianyuwei inherited the responsibilities of the Yulin Army, they were not limited to guarding the capital and the palace, but also fought in all directions, and in the process they rapidly grew and improved.  Today, it has become the most important pillar of the Darei Dynasty.  Together with the border troops in northern Xinjiang and western Xinjiang, as well as the county soldiers in various state capitals and other local garrisons, they form a three-level military establishment, which is the foundation and guarantee for the stability and stability of the empire in the past ten years.

    "Haha, Tianyuwei"The salary of an ordinary soldier is comparable to that of a low-level officer in the county army. In this way, the salary of the quartermaster and the garrison general are similar, and the salary may even be better, not to mention the official in charge of logistics.  It is the most lucrative part.  "Tie Heng looked at the cavalry that was gradually receding, thinking maliciously.

    This Huben Guards quartermaster obviously came to Tianfeng City to purchase various supplies.  For more than a month, more than 150,000 troops from Huben Guards and counties from several surrounding states have gathered in eastern Yuezhou, close to the border of Haizhou.  As the climate in the north gets warmer and the Northern Expedition is about to begin, more and more troops will rush to Yuezhou to deploy defenses.  In order to be prepared, the hoarding of military supplies has naturally increased, which has also given more businesses the opportunity to make money.  In conjunction with this, Kunyuan Academy received a large number of tasks. As far as Tie Heng knew, most of them were spirit-possessed horseshoes prepared for the Tiger Guards.

    There are many kinds of enchantments that can be used on horseshoes, such as strength, load-bearing, acceleration, endurance, etc., and this time the government designated "Wave Riding", which is a high-level enchantment.  Only a small number of first-year students have the ability to use it, but Hu Benwei ordered one hundred thousand sets at a time. This is a big deal and a generous move. The school has to bite the bullet and follow it because it can get a lot of benefits from it.

    "Wave-riding" enchantment is a one-time consumable, and the spell effect can only last for one or two hours after it is activated, so it consumes a lot of money.  And its function is just like its name, it can make the mount ride on the waves, as long as the waves on the water surface are not too big and the water surface is not too wide.  Tie Heng could tell from this that the imperial court sent the entire Huben Guards to Yuezhou not simply to guard against King Ning. It was estimated that as long as there was an opportunity, they would take the initiative to eradicate this largest local separatist force in one fell swoop.

    Haizhou¡¯s terrain is mostly plains, with only a few hills and mountains. If it weren¡¯t for the dense water network, it would be almost flat and there would be no danger to rely on.  It is conceivable that with the Tiger Guards equipped with horse shoes, the small rivers and lakes in Haizhou will become thoroughfares in front of 20,000 cavalry.  With the black-scaled beast's journey of thousands of miles in a day, it is completely possible to arrive in the morning and at night, and in one day to attack the capital of Haizhou, Ninghai City, the capital of King Ning.

    In fact, the imperial court had long coveted the wealth of Haizhou and Tongzhou under the rule of King Ning. These two states were extremely developed in industry and commerce and had very prosperous maritime trade. Their taxes were equal to the combined sum of seven or eight other states.  Combined with the superior geographical location, this made King Ning rich in wealth and strong in military strength.

    There are already rumors among the people that the navy of the Golden Scale Guard has assembled in the lower reaches of the Baihe River. Once the war starts, the fleet can enter the sea from the Baihe River and then go south to attack Hai and Tongzhou, which is the so-called amphibious advance. It seems that the determination of the court is very firm this time.

    Of course, Tie Heng also knew that things could not be that simple. The hundreds of thousands of troops under King Ning were not just decorations. They had deployed defenses in the western part of Haizhou as early as a few months ago, relying on a series of fortresses to compete with the imperial army.  The navy has also entered a state of war readiness. Although the Golden Scale Guard is the result of decades of painstaking efforts by the imperial court, and its combat effectiveness is no less than or even better than that of King Ning's navy, the Golden Scale Guard does not have the upper hand in terms of the number of warships, let alone  Occupying a favorable position.  In addition, several island countries in the East China Sea, such as Fuso, Azuchi, Izumo, Yinlu, Yayoi, etc., all have close relations with King Ning. They dare not openly confront the Daiei Dynasty, but they can secretly support King Ning, so Tie Heng and  Not optimistic about the imperial court.

    "Hey, I'm just a small person. It's not my turn to worry about these things. I'd better do the things in front of me!" Tie Heng shook his head, collected his feelings, and walked forward along West Street.

    After walking for a while, Tie Heng found a remote place and quietly turned into a small alley next to it.  After confirming that no one was around, Tie Heng took out the wig, fake beard and robe that he had prepared in advance, dressed himself up, then put on a smart outfit and a large cloak. When he walked out of the alley,  He has turned into a dark-faced man in his thirties, with a big beard, looking bold and powerful.

    The passers-by around him didn¡¯t pay special attention to him. Tie Heng touched the fake beard on his face with satisfaction and went to participate in the black market auction. It was necessary not to reveal his identity.  Not to mention whether it will be recognized by acquaintances, if you can capture some precious items and attract the covetousness of others, you will also add a lot of trouble to yourself.

    After walking a hundred steps forward, Tie Heng walked into a silk and satin shop. A waiter came up to greet him, but Tie Heng ignored him.  He had participated in a black market auction last month, and he had already figured out the ropes by just looking at it without making a move, just by stepping on the plate.

    Tie Heng went straight to the back of the store. The waiter didn't stop him and went to receive other customers.  There was an inconspicuous little door in the back corner of the shop. Two strong men were sitting at the door. When they saw Tie Heng walking over in a grand manner, the two of them just glanced at him warily and stopped paying attention.  Tie Heng walked into the small door, and there was a long and dark road inside.At the end of the corridor is a spacious hall.

    In fact, the silk and satin shop outside is just a cover. There are many shops like this that serve as facades in the surrounding blocks, including restaurants, shops, hotels, etc. These places also have such a secret passage, which gathers the guests attending the auction.  Arriving at one place, which is the center of this block, the auction house is located here, surrounded by other surrounding buildings. Even if people don't know it, they will only think that this is an annex of a certain business.
