Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

In fact, Xue Yingxiong also wanted to join Chen Ying, but Ma Mengming took the lead, and this time the Xue clan was made very miserable by Chen Ying, and it can be said that they suffered heavy losses.The main source of income for the Xue family is farming.Anyway, the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and you can farm wherever you want, but the population resources are very precious, especially the Han people who can farm are even more precious.

The Xue family controlled tens of thousands of tenant farmers. These tenant farmers lived a poor life like slaves. The Xue family relied on squeezing these Han people and lived a luxurious life comparable to a prince.In Chen Ying's words, Chen Ying disbanded more than [-] tenants of the Xue family and formed self-cultivating people, and confiscated Xue's fields and distributed them to ordinary people.

It is precisely because Chen Ying did such a great job that Xue Yingxiong, the official minister, was very dissatisfied.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.So Mrs. Xue was determined to confront Qu Boya and Chen Ying.

Xue Yingxiong looked at Qu Wentai in shock, and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness does not know that after Chen Ying led his army to leave Gaochang, he did not establish the Western Regions to conquer the Western Turks, but stationed in Jinman County to reclaim wasteland. There are several blast furnaces built in Hua'ergou, which are specially used for steelmaking!"

Qu Boya said: "Chen Ying's several giant blast furnaces are making steel day and night. I don't know how much steel they can produce in a year?"

Xue Yingxiong said: "20 catties."

Both Qu Wentai and Qu Boya heaved a sigh of relief. 20 jin was not a small amount for a warlord, but it was really nothing for Gaochang, the richest country in the Western Regions.Gaochang's domestically produced steel can reach up to 50 jin, but most of this steel is supplied to the West Turkic Khanate.

However, considering that Chen Ying's steel is superior in performance to their Gaochangguo's steel, one dare not underestimate it.

Xue Yingxiong said again: "One furnace!"

Both Qu Wentai and Qu Boya exclaimed in surprise, "What? 20 catties per furnace?"

Xue Yingxiong nodded and said: "Yes! Your Majesty, 20 furnaces! Chen Ying can smelt at least [-] furnaces of high-quality molten steel in Hua'ergou in a month. Just imagine how much steel they can produce in a year."

A batch of 20 jins, 400 million jins a month, nearly 5000 million jins a year, this is really scary.

Chen Ying had never thought of making steel in the Western Regions, but when he asked people to open up wasteland near Huaergou, he accidentally discovered that there was a coal mountain on the west bank of Huaergou, and a coal mountain thirty miles upstream on the east bank. Iron mines are simply a windfall.

This was not the most motivating factor for Chen Ying to start mining. The main reason was that Chen Ying discovered that the Han people in the Western Regions actually used wooden plows when they farmed the land. Apart from a kitchen knife, every household rarely had iron tools.Chen Ying couldn't believe it when he said it. Many Han people in the Western Regions didn't even have iron pots.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ying felt that it took a month to open up wasteland, plow the soil, and plant it again.Anyway, these [-] troops were idle when they were idle, but Qu Wentai and his son were silent. Even if Chen Ying wanted to kill someone, he needed an excuse, otherwise it would be criticized.

Therefore, while Chen Ying was paying attention to the infighting of the Western Turks, he asked the Anxi Army soldiers to make steel.In fact, the main body of soldiers in this era is still farmers. They are all versatile workers who can farm, work, and hunt.Therefore, Chen Ying mined coal in the west mountain of Huaergou, led the Han people in Gaochang to mine coal together, and handed over the method of making coal briquettes to ordinary people. A simple briquette mold and an iron briquette stove are really too simple.

Of course, this has another purpose.Because the winter in the Western Regions is too cold, in order to keep warm, a large number of trees were cut down for firewood, which is also the reason for the deterioration of the environment in the Western Regions.

Chen Ying set up workshops and mines at the same time, allowing the Han people in the Western Regions to become rich first, but being rich alone is not enough, they must learn to protect themselves.

Chen Ying believed that Li Yuan would never allow Chen Ying to wait in the Western Regions for a long time, and he would not allow Chen Ying to lead an army of [-] for a long time.

Therefore, Chen Ying directly used the Lingzhou model.For the people of the Tang Dynasty, every ten households constituted a Jia, and there was a head of the Jia; ten Jia were a fort, and the head of the fort; ten forts, a town, had a mayor.

Every household took advantage of the slack in farming to practice military techniques under the training of the generals of the Anxi Army, and took the captured equipment of Tong Yehu's army, as well as the newly built crossbow and crossbow. All these things are free, no money.

In today's Western Regions, all Tang people are soldiers.

Of course, during the training process, Chen Ying also summoned people of all ethnic groups to launch large-scale construction activities. A town built a town fort, which is actually a small town. This kind of fort is different from the cities in the Central Plains. This kind of fort is specially built to prevent the enemy from attacking. In that kind of easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Now there are more than 170 towns and castles in the [-] newly established states in the Western Regions, almost everywhere.

Xue Yingxiong went on to say: "According to the news from the elaboration, Tang peasants from all over the Western Regions have a hand, and they don't need money, they give it away for free. In addition to hoes, they also have horizontal knives, crossbows, and shields."

Qu Wentai said: "It's free, Chen Ying is so generous?"

Xue Ying said: "Chen Ying has too much steel in his hands, it's unimaginable."

Qu Wentai didn't even have the sound of taking a breath at these words.How much power can so much steel exert?It’s hard to say anything else. Anyway, the Han people in Gaoche and Gaochang have generally used steel farm tools. Even ordinary people’s homes have iron armor and hold horizontal knives made of high-carbon steel. In the past, such equipment was the Western Turks. Attached to Lijun's patent!And as time goes by, there will only be more and more well-equipped Tang people, as long as you are not an idiot, you will know what this means!

Qu Wentai smiled contemptuously and said, "War is based on people, not steel! When the Turks raised their troops, they used arrowheads made of animal bones or flint, and they didn't even have leather armor, but they still fought softly." The people were killed so frightened that they were defeated, and the army was defeated!"

"His Royal Highness is right. So what can the Tang people have no matter how much steel they have? So what can they do if their equipment becomes sophisticated? Even with the magic weapon that cuts iron like mud, they are still a group of cowardly sheep. Let them harvest the weeds!" Xue Yingxiong laughed loudly and said, "It's useless to have Tang Rengou with the best equipment. After a battle, these will all become ours. I wish they could all wear armor and hold precious swords!"

Qu Wentai said, "The hedgehog is full of thorns, and a light knife can kill it; the bull has great strength, and it can be knocked down with an arrow! No matter how good Tang Jun's equipment is, it is also made of sand. The army, what a shame!"

Both Qu Wentai and Xue Yingxiong had disapproving smiles on their faces, but Qu Boya still felt a little lack of confidence.

At this time, there was a burst of wanton laughter from outside the tent: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, a group of cowardly foxes imagined to deal with tigers, how ignorant and fearless!"

Qu Wentai's face changed drastically when he heard the words, he hastily drew his sword and rushed out of the tent.

At some point, there were densely packed cavalry outside the tent.The leader, a tall man in golden armor, was riding on horseback, looking at Qu Wentai, the look of contempt in his eyes was clear at a glance.

Qu Wentai looked around, and found that his so-called elites were all controlled by this group of cavalry in blue armor, and no one issued a warning.However, one can rest assured that there was no murderous intent on the visitor, and it was not Tang Jun. Although he spoke Tang Yan, he had a weird accent.

Qu Wentai boldly asked, "Who are you?"

The general in golden armor smiled lightly and said, "Ben Khan Murong Fuyun!"

"Murong Fuyun?" Qu Boya suddenly realized, he saluted Murong Fuyun and said, "I didn't expect Tuyuhun to come here, and I am far away to welcome you, please make amends!"

Chapter 92 Cut off the dog's head with one knife

The corners of Murong Fuyun's eyes drooped, the corners of his mouth hooked up, and with that eye-catching, mad face that made people hate him, he raised his hand: "It turns out that the Lord Gaochang is in person, please..."

What Murong Fuyun did this time was very rude.However, in Qu Boya's eyes, this is very reasonable.After all, he is now a phoenix who has lost his soul, not as good as a chicken.In name, he is the lord of Gaochang, but now Gaochang has been occupied by Chen Ying. He has an inch of land, and even where he lives now, he has to worry that the Tang army will attack at any time.

Qu Boya smiled coquettishly, and ordered to the left and right: "Come here, prepare a banquet. I want to entertain King Tuyuhun Khan!"

Qu Wentai was secretly worried, the current situation is not as good as others, even though Gaochang Kingdom is in ruins, Qu Boya is the ruler of the country, at the same level as Tuyuhun Khan King Murong Fuyun.Even if he becomes a minister, he can't help Murong Fuyun get off his horse like a slave.

This is simply voluntary depravity, the more so, the easier it is to be looked down upon.Qu Wentai winks at Qu Boya again and again.But Qu Boya pretended not to see it, stepped forward and arched his waist, acting as Murong Fuyun's dismounting stone.

Murong Fuyun stepped on Qu Boya's back and dismounted slowly.

Murong Fuyun looked at Qu Boya, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.He, Qu Boya, was originally the majestic emperor of a country, and now he surrendered himself to others, and he wanted to use his hot face to his own cold butt, but there was no trace of anger on his face.

Murong Fuyun couldn't help sighing inwardly: "If Qu Boya was half-blooded and had the courage to take the initiative to fight against Tang, even if he was defeated, he would be called a hero of the previous generation for his forbearance today. Unfortunately, this person is willing to suffer humiliation , it’s just for a while. How long can he keep quiet???”

But fortunately, Qu Wentai's face was ashen, and his body exuded a strong evil spirit, which was somewhat bloody, and he was not completely disappointed, otherwise Qu's would not be of any use value.

Entering Qu Boya's king's tent, in fact, this king's tent is shabby enough, but Murong Fuyun didn't care, and sat on the throne without hesitation.

But Qu Boya was willing to accompany him.After Murong Fuyun ate meat and drank heavily, Qu Boya cautiously asked, "I don't know if King Khan is here, what's your business?"

"Ben Khan will go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing!" Murong Fuyun looked at Qu Wentai with a half-smile and said, "You Gaochang Kingdom must also want to restore the country, right? You don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. With your strength, It's not enough to compete with Chen Ying!"

"We are not Chen Ying's opponents, we admit it. Does King Khan think that you Tuyuhun Kingdom can defeat Chen Ying?"

Qu Wentai's tone was sharp, and he looked at Murong Fuyun aggressively and said, "Tong Yehu Khan led an army of 20, even if he was not Chen Ying's opponent, and was defeated and killed in the first battle, is it true that the Tuyuhun Kingdom is stronger than the Western Turks? "

"Young man, that's right, you have the strength to refuse to admit defeat!" Murong Fuyun heard this, not only did not get angry, but showed appreciation: "The Tang army is a powerful army in the world. In a head-on confrontation, King Ben Khan actually has no way of winning." Grasp, but people are not animals, animals can only use brute force, people can use wisdom!"

"Use wit?" Qu Wentai wanted to laugh when he heard that, comparing wit with Chen Ying, is that to compare with a wild donkey?It's just self-defeating.But Qu Wentai didn't dare to say this in front of Murong Fuyun.

Murong Fuchong said with a smile: "You want to restore the country, I have a plan, we can do this..."

Then Murong Fuyun told his plan.
