Chapter 168: Preparations for War on the Prairie

The Turks are divided into things and things. At the beginning, when Wuzun Bi Xuan was still there, the Eastern and Western Turks were all subordinated to the prestige of Wuzun, although there were dirty relations between each other, but on the surface there was a good relationship for this, the Eastern Turks possessed the vast steppe east of Jinshan, and the Western Turks occupied the west of Jinshan, and most of the Western Regions in the north of the end.

Like the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks were also on Li Tang's side during the Battle of Longmen, and they also realized that Great Wu seemed to be more aggressive than Li Tang.

However, Bi Xuan died in the Battle of Longmen, and the masters of the Western Turks who entered the customs were also close to death, under the joint strangulation of Li Qin's side and the Demon Gate. The background of the Western Turks is not as good as that of the Eastern Turks, and the death of more than a dozen masters has made the Western Turks feel painful.

It's not that the Western Turks don't want to enter Middle-earth again to take revenge, but the Great Wu Bingfeng Zhengsheng has already unified the Central Plains, and the Demon Gate, the Daomen and the remnants of the Buddhist forces all support Li Qin, and the Central Plains martial arts are already monolithic.

Unable to gain benefits in Middle-earth, the Western Turks could only take aim at their fellow Turkic courts. After Li Qin killed 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks led 100,000 main forces to take the opportunity to march eastward, intending to dominate the steppe.

However, the Western Turks have always been inferior to the East, and the Turkic court has a righteous name in hand, and now it is a time of sorrow. As the saying goes, the mourning soldiers will win, and with the strong armor and blades plundered and traded from Middle-earth, although the royal court suffered a small defeat, it still occupied most of the grassland and persevered.

It was not until Li Qin's Northern Expedition and the fall of the royal court that the Western Turkic army was able to continue its eastward advance.

This time, under the banner of recovering the royal court, the Western Turks recruited rebels all the way, but also expanded their men to 150,000 people. However, the war was no longer what the Western Turks imagined, and although there were more than 150,000 people, it was nothing under Li Qin's firearms.

Under the Earth God Mountain, the two sides met. The 150,000-strong army of the Western Turks collapsed on the spot, 140,000 of them were killed, and only more than 10,000 fled westward.

Li Qin sent the hussar general Li Jing to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to follow and pursue, and went straight into the territory of the Western Turks, fought three battles and won three victories, broke through the royal city of the Western Turks, and completely destroyed the Western Turks.

This was already in November of the fifth year of Xingtong, and Li Qin returned to Luoyang when the weather was freezing and the army ended the expedition for nearly half a year. The two overlords of the grassland were defeated in one battle, and the strength of the Wu army was known to the world.

The surrounding countries and tribes saw Li Qin's toughness, and feared that they would encounter the tragic situation of the Turks, so they sent people to the court one after another, and handed Li Qin a letter of state to surrender the table in order to ask Li Qin to let them go and maintain the traditional clan relationship between the Central Plains and the Siyi.

Maintaining a traditional clan relationship?

Are you taking me for a wronged man?

Li Qin witnessed the Three Kingdoms era and knew what the so-called clan relationship was all about. In my heart, I am very unhappy with this kind of relationship that only has fame but no real profit. He slapped his face and bluntly said that this kind of relationship was not what he wanted, and asked these envoys to go to Longmen Mountain outside Luoyang City to watch a drill, so that they could understand the majesty of the Great Wu Bingfeng.

After the threat, the envoys were terrified, and they were all frightened by Li Qin's statement that "under the couch, how can you allow others to snore". They begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother for their busy work, and finally got some letters from the government hall and the senate.

Under the threat of Li Qin and the coercion of old treacherous and cunning people such as the political affairs hall, a series of unequal treaties were signed, such as allowing Dawu to garrison the country, allowing Dawu to develop domestic minerals, allowing the people of Dawu to have extraterritoriality, and allowing Dawu culture to spread in China.

Of course, such treaties are packaged for a high-sounding reason, which is what those literati and scholars are best at. After this packaging, although they felt a little weird, the messengers who couldn't see anything after all only felt that Li Qin was a good person, and finally went back satisfied.

With the time transferred to the six years of Xingtong, the world is fine.

After concentrating on the completion of a large-scale development, Dawu's power has become stronger and stronger, and the national strength has become stronger and stronger, and there is no longer the chaotic appearance of a few years ago.

The surrounding nations and tribes were all terrified of Great Wu's power and regarded it as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire. As the country became stronger and stronger, Li Qin gave in from time to time, and ran to the side of the scientific research city to do some things to pull out the seedlings and help them grow.

Under such circumstances, Li Qin officially announced to the world that he had sensed the power of shattering and was about to shatter away.

"Shattered Void?" The people in the rivers and lakes were greatly surprised by this.

But the people were puzzled by this: "What is that thing in the Broken Void?" ”

"To put it simply, it is to become an immortal!" Someone understands and gives understanding.

"Become an immortal? That's a good thing...... But what about the Emperor? Your Majesty doesn't have a prince! The people were shocked by this.

An emperor without heirs is a destabilizing act for the countryβ€”and many people are apprehensive about it.

And at this time, Li Qin's new edict was issued: "...... He appointed his apprentice Kou Zhong as the crown prince to succeed to the throne. ”

The first decree shocked the world, and some people with ghosts in their hearts still wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, but they didn't want to wait for them to be ready, and the generals of the various armies of the Great Wu army and the two great masters of Shi Zhixuan and Song Que announced their support for Li Qin's decision.

Later, Li Qin promulgated the "Emperor's Succession Law", stipulating:

The emperor is elected, the emperor must at least have the strength of the grandmaster and warrior, as the supreme leader of the empire, each emperor has a term of office of twenty years, with a five-year stage, if the people of the world are dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, they can launch an impeachment of the emperor in the Senate and abolish the monarch - Li Qin This is completely regarded as the president and chairman of the future generations, and the so-called emperor or something, it is just to maintain a title.

This is shocking news, but because the Senate and the political hall were persuaded under Li Qin's prestige, it became the ancestral law of the Great Wu Empire with such an outrageous decree.

Everything is irreparable, and those who want to make trouble, under the stability of the army, it is impossible to set off too much storm, and although there is a little turmoil in various places, it still remains stable. Da Wu is still calm.

And at this time, Li Qin got a summons from Little Axe: "They are coming soon." ”

"When will it come?" Li Qin asked solemnly.

"Three months later." Little Axe replied succinctly.

"Where will they show up?" Li Qin asked again.

"Roughly near the Turkic tent. There are rivers, populations, and resources......" The small axe gave Li Qin general guidance.

"Three months from now, the Turkic tent?" Li Qin muttered to himself: "Since this is the case, then we have to make some plans." ”

Li Qin chattered, and immediately sent people to find Shi Zhixuan, Song Que, Zhu Yuyan, Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, Xu Ziling, Li Jing, Su Dingfang and others, and told them about the invasion of people from outside the world.

Of course, Li Qin did not explain to them that he had known about this matter for a long time, only that he had just received a prompt from heaven and knew the news.

Li Qin told everyone that the firearms of these outsiders have great power, but they need a certain amount of space and population and a considerable amount of time to deploy, with the current strength of Great Wu, if you want to destroy them, you must do it at the moment of their arrival, otherwise once they are developed, it will be difficult to defeat them with the current strength of Great Wu.

"Hiss......" Hearing Li Qin say this, everyone couldn't help but feel a sore tooth.

"Is it really that powerful?" Song Que's eyes widened.

"It's that powerful!" Li Qin nodded heavily.

"And what is Your Majesty going to do?" Shi Zhixuan asked directly about the point.

"Take 100,000 soldiers and gather all the masters to go north...... I knew they would come in three months at the Turkic Governorate. So we have to be prepared beforehand. Li Qin said that he had decided.

All right! Although this matter is a bit strange, and a few people who heard it are still a little skeptical, but after all, this is what Emperor Li Qin said, and he must still listen to it.

Only, in what name should you go to the north? Although the Turkic Governor's Mansion is not a barren land at the moment, it is still relatively prosperous compared to the Central Plains. Moreover, the transfer of 100,000 soldiers and horses is not a simple matter, and there is no suitable reason for the Ministry of Finance of the Government Hall to honestly allocate funds.

You need to pay attention to the rules in life and work, which Li Qin has always explained.

"What to do?" Several people asked Li Qin in distress.

"Uh......" Li Qin's eyes rolled slightly, and he quickly thought of a solution: "We can ...... like this" Li Qin told everyone what he thought, and soon got the unanimous approval of everyone.

As a result, Li Qin sent an edict to the government hall and informed them of his latest decision: His Majesty the Emperor had decided to conduct a military exercise of 100,000 men in three months later in the vicinity of the Gandu Jin Mountain, the capital of the Turkic Prefecture, to verify the combat strength of the existing army and the armament of the new equipment. For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor decided to transfer the elite troops of the military government of the northern towns to the area of the Turkic capital to prepare for the exercise.

"Your Majesty! The sword is unknown. The Ministry of Finance's Shang Shucen text tried to dissuade Li Qin.

"If you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger, and I am only doing this to let the people of the world know the importance of maintaining martial arts. Moreover, such an exercise can show the strength of our army, and then make the princes of the Quartet know that the blade of Great Wu is not rusty, and it is just right to deter them. Li Qin retorted methodically.

"This ...... All right! "Li Qin is the founding emperor, so what the emperor said cannot be refuted by ordinary people. When Li Qin was reasonable, Cen Wenwen calculated the remnants of the treasury again, and finally could only nod helplessly, which could be regarded as approving Li Qin's decision. Anyway, the treasury can support it, so let Your Majesty go crazy.

The people of the government hall were convinced, the Ministry of Finance decided to release the money, and Li Qin's order was immediately transmitted to the army, and the army of Da Wu was once again operational. The movement of 100,000 soldiers and horses naturally caused a lot of movement in the world.

Many well-intentioned people, including the envoys of various countries who had lived in Luoyang for a long time, were surprised by the reason for Li Qin's action: "Who does he want to destroy?" ”

They were skeptical. Soon after, however, news came that Li Chin had decided to conduct military exercises in the vicinity of the Turkic Governorate to test the combat effectiveness of the army.

"I see!" Everyone suddenly had a lot of curiosity and new interpretations: "Maybe Your Majesty is doing this to deter some people with bad intentions?" In any case, I must also look north and get a good understanding of the military situation in Middle-earth. ”

The well-wishers and envoys all thought so, and they all responded to Li Qin's invitation enthusiastically, and unanimously agreed to take a look at the northern grasslands.

So, the army set out, and the emperor drove north, arriving at the Turkic governor's palace in two months.

Unlike when the Turkic Tooth Tent was still in existence, a sturdy reinforced concrete fortress had been built here.

As the center of Great Wu's rule in the grassland, the cavalry and armored units of the Wu army were stationed here for a long time, and took this as a key point to control the surrounding grasslands.

This is quite a beautiful pasture, and the Wu army controls it and the herdsmen who work on it. As a result of the exercises, the Turkic governor Luo Yi had relocated the herdsmen of this pasture to other places long before Li Qin arrived, and gave them some compensation.

Nowadays, there are no herdsmen in the entire area around the Turkic Governorate, and even in the area of Gandu Jinshan, except for soldiers or soldiers. Although the exercise was just a cover, since Li Qin was mobilizing the troops in the name of the exercise, he naturally had to do what he had to do.

Thus, the exercise officially began.

It starts with the review of the army, and then there are the drills of the army, the drills of the new weapons units. These are all shown to outsiders.

As for the real exercises, it will be after those outsiders have left.

After those people with different intentions left, Li Qin began to set up the so-called exercise ground, and he set up independent observation posts in an area of 10 miles around the exercise ground, and arranged them in the sentry posts with sentry scouts and horses, and equipped them with sufficiently clear telescopes, night vision devices, thermal imaging facilities, and various advanced communication facilities.

Li Qin used this arrangement to complete the control of the entire Turkic governorate. Once the control is complete, Li Qin's second step of action begins. Because he knew that this would be his last battle in this world, Li Qin simply planned to do it.

He buried the mushroom eggs in the corresponding areas, thus completing the first strike on the Might Lands.

"Those reincarnators are said to take the technological route, but their technology should not have gone far...... The strength of the first-level main gods is not very strong, so they should not be able to take nuclear bombs.

Maybe they have some special abilities, but at their level, it should take some time to unfold these things. As long as we can find them in the first place and deal them a fatal blow, they will definitely lose this battle. ”

After all the arrangements were completed, Li Qin stood at the head of the Turkic Governor's Mansion and muttered secretly. He is ready to face the reincarnated, and the next step is to wait for those reincarnators to come to this world.

"What are you capable of?" Li Qin was also a little curious about this.
