Chapter 564: Unstoppable
The internal fire of the Dingyuan army did not last long, and the war in southern Xinjiang broke out. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info Nanyue and the Bowen coalition army approached the southern Xinjiang city like fire and water. Feng Qixiang appointed Wu Guishan to lead the three battalions of the original army, the Flying Tiger, the Eagle, and the Sky Wolf to meet the battle, plus 30,000 recruits......
The rebels who could not go to war were indignant, and several generals shouted at the head of the city, if they really couldn't fight, they would come back and let their rebels, who were ranked first on the honor list, be on top.
Ranked first on the honor list?!?! really dare to say!! wait and see, this will make you miscellaneous lose convincingly!! the original army was already holding back a fire, and was provoked by the cool words of the righteous army, the fire continued to bubble out, and the whole team seemed to be on fire, and rushed towards the coalition army with murderous energy.
Not to be outdone, the recruit business is unstoppable.
Kill, come one to kill one, come to two to kill a pair, and vow to let the Bowen army have no return.
There was no pre-battle scolding, and the war broke out.
Of the 100,000 allied troops who fought in the battle, most of them were Nanyue soldiers, of which only 40,000 Bowen soldiers were ...... In the end, Saladi still underestimated the enemy.
In war, underestimating the enemy is already a taboo, and "invincibility in the eyes" is the bane of defeat.
It wasn't until the vanguard was defeated that he began to face up to the scattered sand of the Dingyuan army.
In this battle, the Dingyuan army suffered 10,000 casualties and killed 60,000 enemies...... The three battalions of the Dingyuan Army finally squeezed the Osprey Battalion to the fourth place on the honor list. The boot camp suffered more casualties, but it also had a good record.
The rebels were not angry, shouting that they were going to chase and kill the fleeing enemy troops, and the officers and men of the other four battalions of the original army who could not show their faces pouted dissatisfiedly, and it was also us who wanted to go, what did you do, and they would line up behind.
Saladi learned from the pain and began to plan seriously, and since then, the war in southern Xinjiang has officially begun.
The bravery of the Dingyuan Army was beyond the expectations of the coalition army, no, not only brave, but also particularly ferocious, in the past, he obviously liked to catch alive and keep prisoners of war, but now he has killed everything, kill it, and cut off his ears and chop off his head, but anyone who has seen the Dingyuan Army grinning and abusing the corpse will feel a chill, and the two forces of war will not be able to extricate themselves.
In the eyes of the Dingyuan army, the enemy is not the enemy, it is a moving military merit or white silver, just waiting for them to pick it.
Later, Bowen also arrested a few Dingyuan soldiers and tortured them before forcing them to ask the Dingyuan army to mark their prices. Saladi, who had suffered several losses, looked at the information translated into Bowen, and his name was clearly marked with 100,000 taels of silver, and he was furious, "His milk/milk, who set the price, this king is actually worth 100,000 taels, at least 1 million !!"
Several military advisors silently retreated to the side, thinking secretly, Commander, this is not the point, the point is that our 200,000 soldiers and horses have lost 60,000, and if we don't think of a way to go wild, the army's spirit will be scattered.
Good news in southern Xinjiang is frequent, Qiao Lan is not idle here, and an unexpected person came to Huguo Temple, Prince Yu.
The war in southern Xinjiang has hindered this year's trip to the South Seas, but for now it is only delayed, not canceled, and when the war situation is clear, the sea ships will be able to depart, and before that, all the goods must be ready.
There is a prince of a country, and the emperor's uncle is in charge, so it's not too simple to prepare goods, but ...... There are no absolutes, and the crazy pepper sauce and dried spicy fish that sold crazy the year before last and last year are not available.
On the deed paper, it is written in black and white that it will only be sold to Taoyuan Restaurant, and there is a text trap here "Only sold to Taoyuan Restaurant", that is, as long as it is not sold to other families, even if the contract cannot be broken, the big housekeeper of the Qiao family said that the master handed over the affairs of the Qiao family to the eldest girl to deal with before traveling, and the eldest girl said that the pepper sauce and dried spicy fish were kept, and she was going to send it to southern Xinjiang to reward the three armies for her uncle.
I didn't sell it to other companies, it was given away for free, so I didn't breach the contract.
Shopkeeper Zhong didn't negotiate a few times in the south, if it was someone next to him, he could still use his power to oppress people, but the eldest girl of the Qiao family was not Princess Lan, there was the emperor standing behind her, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the doctor Zheng, even if it was her own master, Prince Yu, it was not easy to offend.
After Prince Yu learned about this, he had the journey of Huguo Temple.
Qiao Lan expected that Prince Yu would come to find her, but she didn't expect it to be so late, if it was any longer, she would have already left the capital, and there would be no need to talk about it.
For Prince Yu, she sincerely admires the people who dare to open up maritime trade routes, their horizons and patterns are extraordinarily broad, if they were born in modern times, they must also be the kind of people like their grandfathers.
Prince Yu is in his forties, he is the younger brother of the former emperor, and he has the aura of a person who belongs to the upper position. He is only interested in earning money, but he knows some about this little woman, to be honest, he is quite in his eyes, if he is not set by the Feng boy, he would like to have such a daughter-in-law, her strategy can help him to go to the next level.
"The courtiers have seen Prince Yu, His Royal Highness is auspicious!" Qiao Lan saluted respectfully, and said "Prince Yu" to the family, and she was not a princess, so she did not regard herself as a relative of the emperor.
If Qiao Lan was in a hurry to recognize his relatives, Prince Yu might not be happy, but if people didn't recognize him, he was also uncomfortable, "You should pay attention to your identity." Now that I have been named the princess of my country, I must have this self-consciousness and not do that rude thing. ”
Qiao Lan was stunned, am I not respectful enough?" "His Royal Highness Prince Yu ......"
"What, you dislike the identity of a princess?"
"......" Qiao Lan dismantled and dismantled his words, and explained and explained, only to understand that people were saying that she was named a princess, but she didn't regard herself as a royal person, in short, she blamed her for not calling him the imperial uncle, this person is really weird.
"Uncle Huang!"
"Hmm......" Prince Yu was called Qiao Lan, that is, he recognized her as a cheap niece, but soon, Qiao Lan knew that cheap niece was not good.
The rooms in the temple are quite simple, with only a low table and futons.
After sitting down cross-legged, Prince Yu went straight into the knife without turning a bit, "Uncle wants Qiao's pepper sauce and dried spicy fish, should my niece be it?"
Qiao Lan knew that Prince Yu was pursuing the maximization of interests, and she had no doubt that whenever she responded, the shopkeeper Zhong immediately went south to pull the goods, and did not give a copper plate, because Prince Yu said that he wanted, not bought.
"Uncle Huang, the Ming people don't say secret words, it's impossible to give it in vain, I want to make a deal with you. ”
"We thought we had been trading for two years, and if you hadn't withheld it, this year would have been three years. ”
"Hehe!" Qiao Lan could only laugh dryly, can I say that it wasn't intentional?" ”
"Tell me about it!, this king wants to see what new tricks are in your brain. "For another person, Prince Yu would have brushed his sleeves away a long time ago, but he was really curious about her fresh ideas.
"This year, the trade is going to be the same, but I don't want silver, just grain. "The country is in a disaster year, and there is not much food on the market, but it is relatively simple to hand over this matter to Prince Yu," the silver ...... All converted into grain. ”
"Grain?" Prince Yu's serious face showed doubt, "What do you want so much grain for?" Some time ago, I bought hundreds of thousands of catties from several grain merchants, is it not enough?"
"The more the merrier!"
"Reason? Don't say it's for the Dingyuan military camp in southern Xinjiang, how can there still be a household department in the country, and it's not your turn to worry about military rations. ”
"......" That was indeed one of Qiao Lan's good words, but when it was pointed out by Prince Yu, she couldn't say it again, otherwise it would be a distrust of the six systems of the country, and a contempt for the imperial power. "I have food in my hands, and I don't panic. She gave an ambiguous answer anyway.
