Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 408 The future Marquis of the Empire, Li Zheng (plot added for book friends)

When people are tired, they often become irritable.

For example, these security officers who drive away Rakshasa prisoners now, or to be more precise, they have automatically turned into guards of the prisoner-of-war camp on the Far East map of the Daxia Empire from the moment they received the order.

They didn't have a good attitude towards this group of prisoners.

The guards beat the carriages with wooden sticks in their hands, asking the Rakshasa prisoners to get out of the car as quickly as possible.

There was another train going across the border to deliver supplies to the front line. They only had half an hour to get these prisoners off.

Therefore, the movements of these guards were very rough. As long as the prisoners moved a little slower, the wooden sticks would be whipped directly on their bodies.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" A guard captain stood on several wooden boxes and yelled loudly.

The prisoners, on the other hand, were crowded together and shivering in the cold wind.

Whether it was the heavily armed soldiers around them or the cold weather, they were scared.

After all the prisoners were driven out of the car, guards entered the carriage to search to ensure that no one was hiding in the carriage.

After confirmation, the carriage door was closed and the train was allowed to depart.

After seeing everyone being herded together, a captain wearing a guard uniform with three downward stripes on his armband couldn't see himself running in front of a young lieutenant colonel with only about [-] people. The lieutenant colonel saluted with a military salute.

"Report to the warden that all the prisoners are here."

The young man returned a military salute to the captain, and then said to the captain: "Clean them and let them change their clothes."

"This stinks, and when word spread, they thought the empire was mistreating them."

"Yes!" The captain returned a military salute to the young man and ran away quickly.

Watching the captain go to prepare, a sneer appeared on the young man's face.

If you look carefully, on the chest of this young man's military uniform, in addition to the normal badge, there is also a small badge with a Tai Chi pattern.

If you are an imperial historian or other imperial noble here, you will definitely recognize this badge.

Because this badge represents the last King of Goryeo and the current Imperial Marquis, Li Xi.

And this kind of badge is also very particular. It does not mean that you can wear it just because you are a descendant of Li Xi. Only the marquis heir and the marquis himself designated by Li Xi and recognized by the empire can wear it.

In other words, being able to wear this badge means that the lieutenant colonel in front of him will inherit the title of marquis in the future.

This young lieutenant colonel is Li Xi’s son, Li Zheng.

A child who was born in Seoul but grew up in the imperial capital.

It is worth mentioning that Li Zheng and Li Xi have two completely different personalities.

If Li Xi is cowardly, timid, and afraid of the empire, then Li Zheng is brave, strong-tempered, full of love for the empire, and a little bit fanatical.

However, his fanaticism was mainly directed at Lin Yi.

Because when he was young, Li Zheng lived under the oppression of the Sakura people from the beginning. At that time, not to mention him, even his father, Li Xi, had to look at the faces of the Sakura people.

Therefore, Li Zheng's life was not good when he was young.

Later, because Cui Dongxu and Zheng Zaixu seized power, Li Xi was snatched back and forth like an item.

It can be said that Li Zheng's childhood and childhood were very miserable.

It wasn't until the empire intervened in Goryeo affairs and forced Goryeo to become the empire's homeland that the life of the Lee family got better.

After that, Li Zheng was sent to the Imperial Academy, where the teachers treated everyone equally and taught strictly, making the young Li Zheng understand that the empire had also lived a miserable life before.

It was not until Prince Rui came to power that the empire gradually became better and stronger, becoming the overlord of East Asia.

From that moment on, Lin Yi's figure was imprinted in Li Zheng's heart, and he felt that he should be like Lin Yi.

Therefore, Li Zheng began to imitate Lin Yi consciously or unconsciously from that time on.

He thought that Lin Yi was from the army, so he resolutely applied for the Imperial Martial Arts Hall and graduated as one of the top ten in the current class.

You must know that the Imperial Martial Arts Hall has become one of the highest military academies in the empire. Being among the top ten is equivalent to having a name in the military department.

During the graduation ceremony, Emperor Zhao Xu and Lin Yi awarded sabers to those with outstanding results.

That was also the first time Li Zheng met Lin Yi up close after coming to the empire.

Li Zheng didn't know how he came here. He only knew that at that time, he was shaking with excitement.

Later, Lin Yi recognized Li Zheng and learned that he graduated among the top ten, so he patted him on the shoulder encouragingly and told him that an excellent officer cannot sit in the office.

Instead, we should go deep into the army and start from the grassroots level.

Therefore, Li Zheng refused the combat staff position assigned by the military headquarters, and instead asked to go to the grassroots level for training.

Logically speaking, outstanding graduates from the martial arts hall will be eagerly sought after by the military or major armies.

After arriving at the place, you also need to serve as a civilian in the headquarters and train for a period of time before you can lead troops independently.

However, due to Li Zheng's special status, it was not convenient for him to go to other local troops, so the military department gave him the position of serving as the combat staff officer of the Imperial Military Department.

In addition, because he was the son of a marquis, the Imperial Military Department actually had no plans to let him go to the war zone. They just wanted to give him a civilian position until he was old.

This was done on the one hand to protect Li Zheng from harm, and on the other hand it was also worried that his identity would cause instability to the empire.

However, after Lin Yi knew what Li Zheng was thinking, he directly mentioned it to the military department and asked them to let Li Zheng go out for training.

Only then did Li Zheng return to North Korea and start as a company commander. After years of hard work, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel because of his military merit.

Although it is not a powerful team like the Long Xiang Army, Li Zheng also has a lot of fame among the Goryeo Army.

At this time, the empire wanted to build a Far East prisoner-of-war camp. Li Jinji gave this task to the Koryo Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Koryo Army, Kim Dong-seok, gave the task to Li Zheng.

Appointed Li Zheng as the first warden of the Empire's Far East Prisoner of War Camp.

At this time, although Li Zheng was still only a lieutenant colonel, he led a main imperial regiment, which was the regular regiment of the Koryo Army, plus two Koryo local regiments, totaling more than 3500 people, as guards of the Far East prisoner-of-war camps.

Considering that the soldiers might not be familiar with custody and management, Kim Dong-seok transferred more than a thousand security personnel to serve as guards to assist Li Zheng in managing the prisoner of war camp.

After Li Zheng received the order, he knew that the empire wanted to build a large prisoner of war camp.

As the war progresses, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of prisoners of war may be held here.

Therefore, Li Zheng attaches great importance to this matter, and he is determined to do it well!
