"General Qin, there's no need to behead it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Wutai Khan escorted these subordinates to Qin Shuang, hoping to get a few whips, but not for them to send their heads.

"For any unit in the Central Plains, there is only one end for those who violate the order - beheading the public." Qin Shuang said solemnly, the reason why the Qilin Army swept through the Eight Desolations was not only because of its strong physique and advanced weapons, but also because of strict discipline.

Utai Khan looked into Qin Shuang's eyes and knew that he was not joking, nor was he deliberately targeting the Tatars, and the discipline of the Qilin Army was indeed very strict.

I still remember that when they attacked Jizhou, when they used their lives to capture the fortress of the Jizhou defense line, the Jizhou army didn't use their bodies to block their iron horses.

Breaking through a fortress, not capturing a single surrenderer, fighting to the last soldier, still holding a musket and shooting at their thousands of iron horsemen.

This scene, Utai Khan will never forget, the reason why he is so obedient today is not only defeated, but also impressed by the bravery and fearlessness of the Qilin Army.

Utai Khan could see that those soldiers were not brainwashed dead soldiers, but people with feelings, and they would be afraid and angry when they saw their comrades die, but they didn't know what faith supported them, fought the enemy in fear, and resolutely refused to surrender.

Whether it is spirit, weapons, or personal force, Utai Khan considers himself no opponent. So standing in front of Qin Shuang, he didn't have the idea of resisting at all.

Since he couldn't resist, Utai Khan could only bow his head in agreement.

"Khan!" The more than 100 violators of military regulations were frightened and begged for mercy from Wutai Khan and Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang ignored them, turned around and left, Wutai Khan didn't say a word, and asked someone to take them aside and cut off their heads. More than a hundred heads rolled down, and frightened both the Tatars and the Uliangha.

"Khan, isn't General Qin too harsh on us?" One of the subordinates couldn't help but complain.

"If you don't want to die, just shut your mouth and look at other people's armies, will they mess around like you?" Wutai Khan's face was gloomy, and he didn't know if it was because he lost face or because he hated iron and steel.

Qin Shuang ignored their reactions, and after taking Hazhou City, he immediately sent people to deploy defenses to stabilize the people in the city, distinguish between Han and Manchu, and other ethnic groups.

In fact, most of the people of the Later Jin Dynasty were Han Chinese, the second Manchu people, and some other ethnic groups. This land originally belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty, and was taken away by the grassland peoples many times, but the Han residents stayed.

The reason why there are so many Han Chinese is not one reason that can be explained. The main reasons are the ability of civilization to assimilate, the agricultural life is more stable than nomadism, the survival rate of infants is greater, and the traditional ideas of unfilial piety and non-filial piety are great.

The fertility of the Mongols is similar to that of the Han people, but the nomadic civilization is too unstable, they have to migrate every year, they have to fight the autumn wind, and many old and weak women and children die in the snow on the grassland. As a result, most of the surviving Mongols were young and middle-aged, and their cavalry was so strong, which also had something to do with it.

Nomads are not only cruel to others, but also to other tribes who are also nomads. When Genghis Khan fought, all the men taller than the wheels were slaughtered, and he didn't look at any nationality at all.

Not only the Central Plains, but also some countries in Western Europe and Central Asia were rubbed by the iron hooves of the Mongols. Large-scale cavalry was almost insoluble in the age of cold weapons, and it was not until the development of thermal weapons that the advantages of the nomads were dismantled.

After distinguishing various ethnic groups, Qin Shuang did not treat them differently, the key is to distinguish between them being pro-Han or pro-Manchu.

Some Han people have been slaves of Houjin for decades, and they even cry out for the masters of Houjin, shouting that they want to be loyal to Houjin, and this kind of person obviously can't stay. Some Manchurians don't have any feelings about Houjin, and it doesn't matter to them if they change their master, they are obedient to the people and can live as usual.

In addition to the problem of public security, Qin Shuang also had to distribute some of the wealth obtained after the siege to the Tatars. Because they did not plunder the inhabitants of the city, most of their wealth came from the Manchu nobles, no more and no less, and only thirty percent of the Tatars were divided.

"General Qin, when will we continue to march." Utai Khan had no complaints about the distribution of the spoils, but was anxious to knock down all the Houjin.

Because Ji Yang promised Wutai Khan that as long as he assisted Qin Shuang in capturing Houjin, he could be exempted from the compensation of 50 million taels of silver. Coupled with the plundered wealth, this time the strategy is successful, and the Tatars will be relieved of many burdens.

"Don't worry, we have three months." Qin Shuang said calmly: "It's already very fast to capture a city in one day, most of my subordinates are infantry, they need to rest, and the baggage team also needs time to prepare." ”

"But we didn't go through a fierce battle, and we didn't use much physical strength, and one day of rest was enough." Utai Khan said.

"I always have a little time to gather information about the enemy city, and if I attack if I am not ready, it will cause large casualties. Although my men are not afraid of death, I am responsible for their lives and minimize casualties. Qin Shuang said.

"This—" Utai Khan was dumbfounded.

In the attack on Hazhou City, Qin Shuang's troops only killed three people, and they died unexpectedly when they encountered a sneak attack by diehards after entering the city. Utai Khan led the main attack of the White Wolf Division, and only 270 people died, of which 134 were beheaded for violating discipline, and in his opinion, this casualty was not a matter at all.

In the past, they fought against the Central Plains, fought against other tribes, and marched into Western Europe and Central Asia, even if they captured a small country, they had to pay thousands of casualties, and sometimes even tens of thousands of casualties.

Wutai Khan had long been accustomed to this casualty rate and did not understand Qin Shuang's mentality at all. How many people die is a casualty? In the steppe, if you don't fight, you have to kill a few people.

Qin Shuang doesn't really care about this casualty, it's just that he is cautious by nature, he pays attention to neutrality and peacefulness in his work, every step of the way, and the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, which is his code of conduct and style.

"Okay, you also go back and have a good rest, we will take care of the food and grass." Qin Shuang said.

"In that case, well." Utai Khan retired.

Upon returning to the camp, Utai Khan smelled an aroma that was not the familiar smell of milk and meat. Wutai Khan saw his subordinates holding a small iron can, setting up a pot in front of them, and a lot of noodles were boiled in the pot, and some spices such as garlic and chili peppers were also put in, so it smelled so good.

Seeing that his subordinates were eating so deliciously, Wutai Khan's face became gloomy again.

"Khan, you're back, try the military rations of the Jizhou army." One of his subordinates got up to greet him, and when he saw Utai Khan's face change, the subordinate was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was wrong.

"You just ate like that?" Utai Khan asked.

"Not so." The subordinates were puzzled.

Utai Khan really wanted to whip them, but after thinking about it, forget it, if the strength of the Jizhou army is not good for them, why should they poison their food, just kill them directly.

"Forget it, keep eating." Utai Khan waved his hand and walked up to eat himself.

The subordinates were confused, not knowing why Utai Khan's face had changed.

"What is this?" Utai Khan picked up a small tin can, found it sealed, and did not know what it contained.

"The Han people say that this is canned food, and there are canned fish, canned meat, canned vegetables, and canned fruits. You use a knife to cut a hole in this place, open it and eat. Zabu helped him open a can of fish, pointed to the pot and said, "This is fried noodles, it will be cooked quickly when you put it in boiling water, and it tastes good when you put away the spices." ”

"Tsk, there are vegetables and fruits, this Jizhou Army's military rations are too good. Bring me a canned fruit to taste, I haven't eaten fruit in a long time, and my mouth is almost dry. "Utai Khan is tired of eating meat and has a soft spot for canned vegetables and fruits.

Zabu helped him find a canned pear, Wutai Khan opened it with a meat cleaver, inserted a piece of Sydney pear and put it in his mouth, only to feel cool and delicious, and the whole person was comfortable.

At this point, Wutai Khan, including many of his subordinates, has become a brain-dead powder of canned fruits and vegetables, and he panics if he doesn't eat for a day. Because of the lack of vegetables and fruits in the grasslands, Mongolians mainly rely on tea from the Central Plains to consume vitamin C and relieve oiliness, and fruits and vegetables are obviously better than tea.

The food was sufficient and delicious, and Wutai Khan was not in a hurry to attack Houjin, but instead enjoyed the life of the Han-style military camp. More than a hundred heads had been cut off before, and the Tatars and Uliangha were very honest and only moved around the camp, and had nothing to do with bonfires, wrestling, horse races, and so on.

Many of Qin Shuang's young soldiers were very interested in foreign programs, and later joined their wrestling competitions and horse races. It is also a good thing that the two sides got to know each other again in the competition and gradually developed a friendship.

"Your Majesty, General Qin has called, and he has already taken Hazhou City." You Tanzhi sent a telegram.

Ji Yang took the telegram and glanced at it, and there was a line of words on it: The Jizhou Department has captured Hazhou City.

"At this rate, it seems that the entire Houjin can be won before August." Ji Yang said.

"The Qilin Army swept through the Eight Desolations, who else is the opponent within the four seas." You Tanzhi said proudly, unconsciously having a sense of honor for the Taihao Dynasty.

It's normal to think about it, the Celestial Empire has a good sense of honor in all dynasties, and all of this stems from the strength of civilization and army.

And the Taihao Dynasty surpassed all dynasties, with an invincible Qilin army, recovering the Korean Dongying and the Nanyang countries. Without moving the army, only the local defenders defeated the Warat, Tatar and Uliangha at the same time ... All this is enough to give the people a great sense of honor.

Even ordinary people with poor living standards will be proud of the country's strength when they occasionally talk about it, and they will not complain too much about the country.

Of course, there are still many unfairness in the Central Plains, and many people are struggling under the food and clothing line, so Ji Yang has not slackened off, and has not forgotten to engage in people's livelihood while expanding his territory.

"Even if we sweep the invincible opponents of the Eight Desolations, don't forget that we still have a biggest opponent." Ji Yang reminded.

"Uh, who's that?" You Tanzhi didn't understand.

"It's us, the reason for the decline and demise of all dynasties, most of them are not external enemies, but their own problems. If we are also like the emperors of the previous dynasty, incompetent or tyrannical, and do not use enemies to overthrow the court, the people will naturally stand up and overthrow the court. Ji Yang said.

"The emperor's lesson is that he has been taught in a humble position." You Tanzhi humbly comprehended.

"Therefore, it is better to receive less gifts and be soft. The atmosphere of receiving gifts is very bad, and another day we have to call Jinyiwei and the Imperial Sword Pavilion to crack down hard. Ji Yang said.

"If you don't dare, you will return all the gifts when you go back." You Tanzhi was frightened, as the commander of the Ouchi guards, he could often see the emperor, so naturally many people gave him gifts.

"You don't need to retreat, pay attention later." Ji Yang said.

"Humble duty understands." You Tanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the emperor will not delve into it.

After waking up You Tan, Ji Yang was not happy at all, even an honest person like You Tanzhi was taken by those officials, and the bureaucracy in the Central Plains was really not covered.

The capital of Youtan is in the innate realm, and there is also glory and wealth, so it stands to reason that it is difficult for worldly things to impress him. As for the peerless martial arts Ji Yang has the most, You Tanzhi will not be stupid enough to ask for other people's, especially cherished elixirs, such as the kind that can give birth to flesh and bones and increase life for a hundred years, the officials can't take it out.

is such a person, who has been found by the officials to have a weakness, and it is also cliché to say that she is a woman.

It has been many years since she left Ah Zi, and You Tanzhi has not completely forgotten her, but he is not so deeply infatuated. You Tanzhi has not been in contact with women over the years, practicing like an ascetic, You Tanzhi may be lonely.

According to Jin Yiwei's secret investigation, You Tanzhi first accepted the invitation of a minister to go to the famous Qinglou in the capital to drink. The minister made a good arrangement and invited a very famous Qing man to come to the costume You Tanzhi. That Qing Qi person is called Shi Ruoyu, known as the reincarnation of Xi Shi, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention, the key is to be empathetic.

You Tanzhi hasn't touched women for a long time, not because he doesn't want to, but because he has Ah Zi in mind and puts his mind on kung fu. Probably suppressed for too long had a counterproductive force, and this time seeing Shi Ruoyu, You Tanzhi glowed with a second spring.

After that, without being invited, You Tanyi found an excuse to leave the palace when he had time and went to the Qinglou to see Shi Ruoyu. No, two days ago, You Tanzhi couldn't help it, and he spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy Shi Ruoyu, the first flower in the capital.

100,000 taels of silver, equivalent to more than 60 million yuan, where did You Tanzhi get so much money.

For the sake of women, You Tanzhi had to take bribes, and the amount was huge. If it weren't for the fact that You Tanzhi had been with him for so many years, and he was relatively honest, Ji Yang really wanted to cut him with a knife.

"You Tanzhi, tomorrow you go to Qin Shuang to report and assist him in attacking Houjin." Ji Yang said.

"Humble duty, obey orders." You Tanzhi's heart tightened, but he was severely punished in the end, and he didn't know how long he would be able to come back. Whether the position of the commander of the Ouchi guards can be kept, and who will replace him, You Tanzhi has no bottom in his heart.

"You are not good at the art of war, when you get there, you have to listen to Qin Shuang's words, and you can't make mistakes." Ji Yang reminded.

"I understand, I'll go back and prepare my luggage." You Tanzhi replied.

The news that You Tanzhi was assigned to Liaodong soon spread, and the official who bribed him with 100,000 taels of silver was a waiter in the household department, and he was also removed from his post and investigated. This incident once again gave the ministers a wake-up call, and even a hero like You Tanzhi from the dragon was jerked off, let alone them.
