The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Military expenses and spoils of war are two different things, and we hope that enemies will not be mixed together!" Du Changjing said indifferently.

"Haha!" Qiu Yixiao laughed lightly, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and said in a rather unfriendly tone: "Now your Qin army is only [-], and my Jin army is [-]. At such a distance, your cavalry loses the power to charge. You can only become the target of my Great Jin soldiers!"

Soft ones are not good, only hard ones.

"You can try it!" Du Changjing sneered, then turned to Ma Bold and Zhao Hua and shouted: "Ma Bold, restrain the bodies of the brothers, Zhao Hua, count the casualties, and list the dead soldiers in the dead Thin!"

"Obey!" Ma Daudao and Zhao Hua responded, and before leaving, they gave Du Qiu a cold smile.

Du Changjing didn't care what Qiu Yixiao's attitude was, and directly drove the horse to leave.

"hateful!"

Qiu Yixiao gritted his teeth and yelled, his chest heaved violently in anger. He wanted to turn his back on Qin Jun now, but once he turned his back on Dajin, he would be gone. Just after he finished fighting the foreign enemies for you, you beat others with your hands. It spread. , let alone Qin people will be furious, Kyushu and even Jin people will be angry.

And after he gave the order, it is estimated that there are not many soldiers of the Jin army who took action. They all saw the scene of the bloody battle between the Qin army and the Huns just now. In the eyes of the Jin army, the current Qin army is a benefactor. ?Yes, there must be such people, but there are very few such people, there must be a few hundred out of [-], but what is the use of a few hundred...

Liu Sandao, who was not far away, chose to remain silent. He didn't know which side to help. If he helped Qiu Yixiao and said something, it would definitely make Qin Jun feel that he was inhumane. If he helped Qin Jun, he would be accused of treason again.

In fact, to be honest, Liu Sandao felt that it was not too much for the Qin army to take away the trophies of the Xiongnu, but it was a bit too much to take away [-] Jin women. After all, Dajin was the victim of the Huns' southern invasion, and hundreds of thousands died The common people urgently need to replenish the population.

But although he thinks Qin Jun is too much, he can't say it. You know, Qin Jun died [-] to [-] soldiers for the Jin Empire. With this kindness, how can he say Qin Jun is wrong.

Next, the Jin army and the two armies began to clean up the battlefield. The soldiers of the Jin army were very enthusiastic to help the Qin army collect the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin army who died in battle.

"Woo~"

On the battlefield, the ownerless horses wailed, big tears fell from the horses' eyes, and many soldiers cried bitterly on the corpses of their dead brothers.

Even if the war is over, the tragic battlefield is full of crying and howling. When the breeze blows, everyone can smell a pungent bloody smell. The blood gathers together and turns into a blood stream. It was piled up into a mountain of corpses, and even the wild geese in the sky wailed.

Don't you see Qinghai head, since ancient times no one has collected the bones.New ghosts annoy the wronged old ghosts and cry, and the sky is cloudy and rainy and wet and chirping.

When the sun was about to set, the corpses on the battlefield were finally buried under the loess. According to the old rules, the corpses of the Qin and Jin armies were buried in the ground, and the corpses of the Huns were poured with kerosene, turned into ashes in the fire, and scattered in the sky. between.

In this battle, the Qin army wiped out 11 Xiongnu without leaving any survivors, and captured [-] horses. The Qin army killed [-] soldiers, seriously injured [-] soldiers, and lightly injured [-] soldiers. The [-] cavalry dropped sharply by [-]. This was a tragic war.

In order to annihilate the Huns in the Bailan Prairie, the Great Qin Empire lost hundreds of thousands of Qin men.

And this war that lasted nearly half a year is finally over!

It's not easy, it's really not easy!

After the war ended, Du Changjing led the remnants of the Qin army back to the camp. After Qiu Yixiao sent [-] Jin troops to deal with the body of the murdered Jin girl, he also brought the remaining [-] Jin troops and the Qin army back to the Great Wall camp in northern Shanxi. Qiu Yixiao's purpose of going here is naturally to take back the Great Wall defense line.

The first thing after returning to the camp, Du Changjing immediately reported the death of Bo and the battle situation back to Xianyang, and at the same time asked the court for further instructions. Qian Tieqi returned to Qinbei Great Wall.

While returning to the Qinbei Great Wall, he also took away 500 million taels of silver, 1000 taels of grain, 50 taels of gold as spoils of war, the captured war horses and scimitars, and [-] Jin women. They have no opinion on becoming a Qin native.

All their relatives have been killed by the Huns, and there is nothing left in the Jin Empire. In addition, the Qin Army rescued them. They only have good feelings for Da Qin, but there are still many Jin women who know that they are going to become Qin. People are very happy.

Qiu Yixiao was both angry and helpless about this, he had nothing to do with Qin Jun, watching Qin Jun take away so many Dajin women and countless money and food, Qiu Yixiao felt like a knife cut his heart, I have to say that due to the serious injury, the soldier could not Before leaving, Du Changjing arranged for [-] seriously wounded soldiers to temporarily stay in the Great Wall camp in northern Shanxi.

If they can survive, the Jin army will send them to the Great Wall in Qinbei. If they can't come back, the corpses will be collected and buried on the spot.

Although the casualties of the Qin army were extremely heavy this time, the harvest was also very large, which was very worthwhile. First, the spoils amounted to 500 million taels of silver, 50 taels of gold, and 1000 taels of grain. , the Daqin treasury can safely and steadily last for three to five years.

Second, a total of 14 war horses were captured, plus the horses vacated by the dead cavalry, the number of war horses available to the Qin army reached 25, and with 25 war horses, Daqin could form 25 cavalry.

Chapter 301 Jarrow laughed silly!

Third, the transformation of 7 Jin women into Qin women can increase the population of the Qin Empire by [-]. It is a booster for the population reproduction and can speed up the recovery of the population of the Great Qin Empire.

Fourth, the young and strong Xiongnu in the Bailan Prairie have all been killed or injured. Today's Bailan Prairie has become the back garden of the Great Qin Empire. Before long, there will be footprints of the Great Qin Cavalry everywhere in the Bailan Prairie.

Compared with the first, second, and third, the fourth is the most important. As long as the Bailan Prairie is completely controlled and becomes the pasture of the Great Qin Empire, the Great Qin Empire will have a steady stream of war horses, fat sheep, and strong cattle.

Whether it is war horses, fat sheep, or strong cattle, it is extremely beneficial to the Great Qin Empire. War horses can allow Great Qin to form cavalry, and can also be sold to empires that lack horses in exchange for a lot of money and food. Fat sheep can also be used as trade items to stimulate the business of the Great Qin Empire. However, strong cattle are even more important. If a family has a cow, it can free up two or three people when plowing the field.

Time passed slowly, ten days passed, and it was July 11th in the [-]th year of Shengqin!

Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace!

On the high platform in the Qilin Palace, Yingchang is dressed in a black dragon robe, a flat dragon crown on his head, a dragon head belt around his waist, and gold-plated dragon-patterned boots on his feet. Standing respectfully by the side, there are more than 30 officials from the Six Departments standing on the left side of the stage, and the queue of military attaches on the right side is still empty.

Ying Chang glanced around the group of officials with sharp eyes like swords, and then said in a dignified tone: "Recently, have there been any changes in the countries of Kyushu?"

Chang Zifei, the prime minister in his [-]s, took a step forward and bowed down respectfully to write a report: "Your Majesty, the kingdoms of Kyushu are still in the same way, they are conquering other countries everywhere, wars are raging everywhere, and there have been disputes between Zhao and Yan recently. , but the war has not started, it is just a small-scale confrontation!"

"In this world, it really can't stop. Qin Jin finished fighting, Yan Zhao fought, Yan Zhao finished fighting, Qin Jin fought again, haha, it's really interesting!" Ying Chang said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chang Zifei smiled and said nothing.

"Report!"

step..step..

At this moment, there was an urgent report and the sound of horseshoes outside the hall, and the ministers in the hall subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see a cavalry scout in black armor hurriedly riding his horse to the front of the Qilin Hall, and then jumped off. The war horse walked quickly into the hall.

When he reached the center of the hall, the scout took out a letter from his pocket, then knelt on one knee and offered it with both hands: "Your Majesty, I have sent back the battle report under the order of the Great General of Hussars, Capital Changjing! "

As soon as the words fell, the ministers suddenly became excited and regained their energy. Tang Hua, who was standing next to Yingchang, also immediately stepped down from the high platform. As a result, the scout sent the letter with both hands. After Tang Hua received the letter, he immediately submitted his resignation. At the same time, the scouts also got up and wrote the script to resign and leave.

Under the expectant eyes of all the officials, Ying Chang took the letter, opened it skillfully, and took out a piece of white paper with a big seal, and quickly scanned the contents of the white paper with his sharp eyes. At the time of 11 Huns, Ying Chang couldn't help holding his breath, his face was a little surprised.

At first I thought I was wrong, but Yingchang took a closer look. After confirming that it was correct, there was an unconcealable excitement on Yingchang's face, and all the officials smiled when they saw the excitement on Yingchang's face. I know, Qin Jun won again!

Ying Chang put the white paper on the imperial case, slowly got up from the dragon chair, and smiled at the ministers with a red face: "Everyone, the great general Hushi has another good news. Our Qin army has arrived near the Great Wall in northern Shanxi Fifteen miles to the south, 11 Xiongnu cavalry were wiped out. So far, all the Xiongnu on the Bailan Prairie have been wiped out by our Qin army, and this half-year-long war has also come to an end. Our Qin army is mighty!"

"What? All wiped out?"

"Oh my god, it was completely wiped out. I thought it was just a victory in a confrontation!"

"No wonder His Majesty was a little surprised just now, that's how it is!"

"Haha, my great Qin iron cavalry is brave and invincible, so strong is my great Qin Guowei, so strong is my great Qin Junwei!"

"I fully understand the troubles in the northern border!"

"The Qin army is mighty! The Qin army is mighty!"

"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"

After hearing Yingchang's words, all the ministers were shocked. After being shocked, they were ecstatic, and they couldn't help raising their fists and shouting loudly, filling the entire Qilin Palace with mighty voices, and even the imperial guards outside the palace were shocked. Be inspired.

Ying Chang raised his hands and pressed down, signaling the officials to be quiet. Seeing this, the officials put down their excited hands, closed their excited mouths, and looked at Ying Chang with unison. Ying Chang sat back gently On the chair, he said to the officials with a smile:

"The battle between the Great Qin and the Xiongnu was a complete victory. In addition to completely annihilating the Xiongnu, we also captured 500 million taels of silver, 50 taels of gold, 1000 taels of grain, and [-] women from the Jin Empire. Haha Ha ha!"

Having won such a big victory and obtained such a wealth of spoils, it is entirely possible to use excitement to describe Yingchang's mood at this time.

"My God!"

"Twenty-five million taels of silver, and 500 taels of gold. This adds up to 50 million taels, which is twenty times the current fiscal revenue of Daqin!"

"There are still 1000 to [-] million shi of grain. This time, our Daqin treasury is really going to be full!"

"Combined with the military expenses given to us by the Jin Empire, this time we fight against the Xiongnu, Daqin can get 800 million taels of silver, 50 taels of gold, and 700 million stones of grain. My dear, no, I will faint Already!"

"Too much, too much, even though I am a doctor in the household department, I have been watching the treasury, but I have never seen so much money and food!"

"Our Daqin has made a fortune, and we have made a fortune!"

"With this money, I, Daqin, can do whatever I want!"

"In addition to the money and food, our Daqin also got [-] women. Getting these [-] women will not only increase the population of Daqin by [-], but also effectively increase the population growth rate of Daqin!"

"Yeah yeah!"

All the officials were more excited than each other, and the most excited one belonged to the officials of the household department, especially Jia Luo, the minister of the household department, who kept giggling like an idiot who only knows how to giggle, really happy and silly.

"If I remember correctly, excluding this year's budget, our Daqin treasury has 150 million grains, 850 million taels of silver, and 5 taels of gold, plus the spoils of this war and the military expenses paid by the Jin Empire for our Daqin. The treasury has 850 million shi of grain, 55 gold, and 650 million silver, right?" Ying Chang said to Jia Luo in a calm tone.

"Exactly..haha...it is His Majesty, haha!" Jarrow replied with a smirk, his face turned into a chrysanthemum, showing how happy he was.

??

Chapter 302: Court Argument!

Fadao reminds you: ask for collection () after reading, and it is more convenient to read again.

"You...haha...Zhen...haha..." Ying Chang was immediately amused by Jia Luo.

"Haha, Lord Jia is crazy, haha!"

"Great joy, great joy, haha!"

The ministers were also overjoyed, the whole hall was filled with the laughter of the ministers, and many ministers who laughed had stomach pains. In fact, this was nothing funny, but they couldn't help laughing when they saw Jarrow's appearance.

"Cough cough!" Ying Chang pretended to cough and forced a smile. When the other ministers heard that Ying Chang coughed deliberately, they also held back, their faces flushed, and Jia Luo was also holding back, but his whole body was shaking.

Ying Chang took a deep breath, and his face became solemn, "In this war, although our Great Qin won a complete victory, the number of dead soldiers reached [-], [-]. It is the sorrow of the country that the bones of [-] Daqin men are buried in other places. !"

God is fair. While Qin Jun won a complete victory, he also paid a tragic price. This price made Ying Chang sigh deeply, and it was inevitable that he felt a little distressed. You know, this is not 1 to [-], but a whole One hundred thousand, this is undoubtedly worse for Daqin who was already underdeveloped!

Hearing that [-] soldiers were killed in battle, the smiles on the faces of many ministers froze until they dissipated, and the joy in Jia Luo's heart disappeared in a flash. The heavy number of deaths made the officials fall into silence. People wear hemp and filial piety and become widows.

Someone lost a father, someone lost a husband, someone lost a son, someone lost a brother, anyone can feel the pain of losing a loved one.

"Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of War!" Ying Chang yelled softly with a heavy expression.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately walked out of the ranks of civil servants, bowed to Ying Chang with a solemn face, and replied, "The minister is here!"

"The hussar general also sent the list of soldiers killed in battle. In addition, the list of military exploits of the soldiers was also sent over. Later, I will send someone to send the list of dead soldiers and the list of military exploits to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War will calculate and provide compensation. The pensions, the rewards, the soldiers must not let blood and tears, no one should slack off in this matter!"

"If you let me know that the Ministry of War's compensation and rewards are wrong, I will ask the Ministry of War. In addition, the Ministry of War has also drawn up a budget and submitted it to me for review!" Ying Chang's tone was light, but full of imperial majesty, making people dare not say anything. No words.

"Minister Zunzhi!" Yang Ze bowed down solemnly and shouted in response, and then retreated to his stand after he answered.

The hall began to quiet down, and all the officials were silent, as if they were mourning for the [-] fallen soldiers. Chang Zifei saw that no one stood out of the queue to play, so he raised his hand and wrote to Ying Chang with a solemn expression: "Qi Your Majesty, my Great Qin has lost [-] soldiers in this battle, do you want to recruit troops?"

Ying Chang frowned slightly, and fell into contemplation. After a moment of contemplation, he replied: "Generally speaking, after a war, you will make up for as much as you lose, so as to maintain the country's military strength and prevent foreign enemies from invading. Soldiers resist!"

"However, our Great Qin is different. The Jin Empire in the east has no power to attack Qin. The Qi Empire in the south is our Great Qin's allies. The Qiang people in the west are still busy in the unification war. The remaining Xiongnu in the prairie are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they have no chance of attacking Qin!"

"Furthermore, there are not many soldiers, but the quality. Qinbei Great Wall cavalry and the Xiongnu have been fighting each other for half a year. Now the 20 Qin cavalry that have survived have become the Qin elite cavalry. The [-] elite cavalry stationed on the Great Wall. Even if the Huns still have ten Ten thousand or even [-], it is difficult to break our Great Wall and invade our Qin land!"

"In addition, it only takes three months for the Ordnance Department to gather [-] elite cavalry of new standard equipment. Once all the [-] elite cavalry of the Qinbei Great Wall are equipped with new standard equipment, the combat effectiveness will definitely be turned upside down. , then, why be afraid of a strong enemy!"

"Therefore, our Great Qin does not need to recruit troops to replenish our troops. The [-] elite cavalry on the North Great Wall are enough to guard the northern border of Great Qin!"

Hearing what Ying Chang said, many ministers nodded in agreement.

Today's Great Qin Empire's borders are stable and strong, and it already has the strength to defend the Great Qin. There is no need to recruit troops to supplement its strength. Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the stable borders of the Great Qin Empire to spare young and strong people to develop Nongsang and strive to improve national strength. benevolent!

"I understand!" Chang Zifei also nodded, and then immediately raised his hand and said: "I still have a question, how will His Majesty plan to arrange for the [-] Jin women brought back by our army this time? "

Ying Chang did not answer Chang Zifei immediately, but looked at the rest of the ministers, and threw this question to them, "What do you love?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that my Daqin happens to have seven counties, and the [-] Jin women should be evenly distributed among the seven counties!" Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Lei Tong, stood up and made a proposal.

"Lord Lei is surprised by this statement!"

Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Ze stood out of the queue again.

Before Yang Ze could continue to speak, Lei Tong looked at Yang Ze, and then asked, "Why did Master Yang say such a thing, why do you think I am surprised by this statement?"

Yang Ze smiled lightly, bowed down to salute Ying Chang, and said, "Your Majesty, the [-] women of the Jin Empire were all captured by soldiers of the Qin Army who fought bloody battles and were taken from the Xiongnu. They should be rewarded to the meritorious soldiers as trophies. In this way, not only can the soldiers feel the mighty grace of His Majesty, but it can also boost the morale of the army, wouldn't it be beautiful to kill two birds with one stone?"

"Your Majesty Yang is wrong!" Minister of the Household Department Jia Luo stood out of the queue calmly and refuted Yang Ze's point of view.

"Master Jia, please show me!" Yang Ze saluted Jia Luo, and Jia Luo raised his hand to return the salute, then bowed to Yingchang and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that it is absolutely not allowed to Jin Nu rewards the soldiers, otherwise disaster will be planted!"

"Oh?" Ying Chang was suddenly puzzled, and immediately asked curiously: "Where does this disaster come from?"

"What's the trouble with this?"

"Yeah, where did the disaster come from? It's good to reward the soldiers!"

Some officials couldn't help muttering softly, which made the hall a little noisy. Seeing this, Tang Hua, the chief of the palace, immediately shouted: "Quiet!"

After the voice fell, the discussing ministers shut their mouths one after another, and the hall became quiet again. After the hall became quiet, Jia Luo continued: "Our Qin and Jin empires are like fire, and Jin will be destroyed sooner or later. If our soldiers His wife is from Jin. When Jin is destroyed in the future, will the soldiers feel compassion for the Jin army because his wife is from Jin? It is hard to say. I believe that we can avoid this disaster, so we should try to avoid it as much as possible! "

"Haha, Master Jia, isn't this a contradiction?" Yang Ze couldn't help but smile.

"Why the contradiction?" Jarrow asked rhetorically.

Chapter 303 Who can stand this!

"According to Mr. Jia, my Qin army will feel compassion for the Jin army because my wife is from Jin. If a Jin daughter marries my Da Qin man, my Da Qin man will not oppose the destruction of Jin because his wife is from Jin." Is it?" Yang Ze looked at Jia Luo without blinking and asked.

Jia Luo took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Master Yang, you are carrying it!"
