Iron Dynasty

Qingzhou.

After waiting for almost a month and a half, Xiao Ming finally waited for Luo Quan to lead his troops back.

During this period of time, information has been continuously coming from Bashu, but he is very clear that this is a delayed battle report. For the first time, he misses the contemporary telephone and telegram very much.

If there are these things, why would his eyes be blacked out?

Your Majesty, there are less than 10,000 barbarian cavalry left roaming the territory of the Great Yu Kingdom. Qi Guangyi is leading the cuirassiers to continue the pursuit. It will take less than a month for this batch of invading enemies to be wiped out.

In the government hall, Luo Quan said loudly.

On the third day Aqige fled to Chang'an, he led a group of soldiers back to Qingzhou. After ten days of trekking, he finally returned to Qingzhou.

On the way, he learned that Qi Guangyi had found a road of barbarian cavalry. After the fierce battle, half of the 10,000 barbarian cavalry were killed and half captured.

So when he returned to Qingzhou, he immediately reported the matter to Xiao Ming.

The ministers in the government hall were all relieved, and they were worried and unable to exert themselves these days.

Fiji said: Your Majesty, Bodo was killed, and the main force of the barbarians was wiped out. The remaining 10,000 barbarian cavalry, who were unfamiliar with the land of Da Yu, may be wiped out in a few days. The crisis in Bashu is regarded as a Lifted.

What Fei Ge said is very true, and I hope the emperor doesn't have to worry too much, which affects the dragon's body. Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming has been worried about this all the time. Sometimes the court is also listless. The ministers see it and worry in their hearts.

His brows stretched, Xiao Ming said, Nevertheless, during the barbarian rampage, Bashu suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of thousands of people died tragically and millions of people were displaced. This incident undoubtedly had a blow to the reform of the Great Yu Kingdom. It's heavy, a country of heaven could have provided a lot of taxes for the imperial court, but now the imperial court has to transport food for disaster relief.

The ministers in the council hall were silent.

What Xiao Ming said was not an exaggeration. The barbarians had a very insidious purpose in this trip. They also burned everything they could burn while looting.

As a result, a large number of people were left homeless, and the food that could be harvested immediately was burned, making life even more difficult for the people.

Your Majesty, at least the initial production team established in Bashu has played a lot of roles. Many people have fled into the deep mountains to avoid being slaughtered by barbarians. The lost wealth can be returned, but the people are the most valuable in Bashu. Fiji said.

Luo Quan echoed: Your Majesty, this is true, the massacres of the barbarians mainly occurred in Songzhou, Yazhou and the cities leading to Yizhou. Although the villagers also suffered casualties, most of them were spared, and the barbarians plundered things. We have seized them all, and returning these things to the people will allow the people to pass the winter.

Xiao Ming nodded. This was good news among bad news for him. The rescue was timely, otherwise Bashu would only suffer more losses.

Briefly talking about the situation of Bashu, Xiao Ming's eyes suddenly flashed a stern look, he said: The heart of the Great Yu Kingdom will not die if the barbarians die, and the barbarians will not die, and the Great Yu Kingdom will be uneasy for a day. Safety, we must fight back against the barbarians, so that they can no longer be so rampant.

Hearing this, Pang Yukun said solemnly: The emperor thinks twice, don't fall for the enemy's tricks, the news from the secret guard is very strange, this time the barbarians are instigated by others through Tubo.

It is precisely because some people are interfering with it that I have to clean up the barbarians, otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with when the barbarians become stronger. Xiao Ming said.

During the Bashu Rebellion, Wang Xuan sent someone to send back a piece of information. Pang Yukun and Fiji were both there at the time, and he casually told them.

Wang Xuan's information clearly mentioned that a blond and blue-eyed Westerner appeared in Shengdu of the Golden Horde, and this Westerner was still by Beishan's side.

Based on this information, he could easily judge that this was another British conspiracy after the Japanese.

Britons, accustomed to balancing policies in Europe, brought it to Asia.

They first went to the Japanese state, and then went to the Golden Horde for a very clear purpose, which was to restrict the development of the Great Yu state on land and sea at the same time.

The Europe of this world is clearly more mature than the Europe of his time, both technologically and politically.

But it also caused him trouble.

In his opinion, it may be that the development of Da Yuguo's technology has aroused the vigilance of the British, or that his cooperation with the Dutch has angered them.

Either way, the current British are unfriendly to him.

So he must now find a way to let the British strategy fail, and can no longer give the British time to support the Golden Horde and the Japanese.

Pang Shoufu's worries are indeed superfluous. Now the army of the Great Yu Kingdom is not what it used to be. This time, the power of firearms is undoubtedly revealed. Luo Quan said confidently.

Xiao Ming nodded, his confidence came from the equipment of the arsonist.

It can be said that the current Dayu army is already a standard firearms force, and its equipment and training level are not inferior to those of the Western army.

The barbarians are now just a steppe empire in the feudal era, and it is difficult to resist the advanced firearms and tactics of the Great Yu Kingdom.

If it weren't for the barbarians living on the grasslands, and with the strong mobility of the horses, he would have attacked the barbarians long ago.

But now he still can't go to the grasslands, and the number of cavalry in Dayu Kingdom is still too small, but he can go to the barbarian settlements.

In addition to Shengjing, there are six barbarian cities from Shanhaiguan to the bottom of Changbai Mountain, and these six cities extend in a straight line.

For a long time, the barbarians used these six cities to provide supplies and occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun. Now he wants to seize these six cities and plunder the population and livestock from the barbarians.

For him, the days when the Great Yu Kingdom was getting poorer and worse are gone, and now he wants to be like them, getting richer the more he fights.

At the same time, this is also the best tribute to the dead people of Bashu.

Emperor, even if you want to fight, you can't fight in winter. The north is bitterly cold, and the clothes of the soldiers are thin. I am afraid that the soldiers will be frostbitten a lot before the war begins.

Seeing that Xiao Ming seemed to have made up his mind, Fiji reminded.

Old Fei Ge is at ease, although I am very angry, I have not lost my head. Xiao Ming said, he knew better than these ministers the power of winter, and would not foolishly fight against the Golden Horde in winter.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan are both veterans, so naturally they know the reason.

Having probably figured out Xiao Ming's thoughts now, Luo Quan said, Your Majesty, since that's the case, what should we do with the barbarian generals who have been imprisoned in Qingzhou this time?
