Chapter 1288: The West Has Been in Turmoil Lately
A few days later, Meng Tian and Li Xin set off for the barracks.
They also went with the officials of the Ministry of War and the Inspector of the Ministry of Supervision of the Imperial History, who went to the Western Army with an edict to spread the punishment measures against generals at all levels, which were basically a punishment of one year and a half a year, and this kind of punishment was completely understated in Li Xinmengtian's view, and it was not worth mentioning.
followed Meng Tian away, as well as Meng Yun and a few gentlemen who mingled all day long, Qi Lao Er and Gao Lao San were among them.
Because he heard that if he didn't join the army, he might be removed from his knighthood, Meng Yun was still very buddy enough to tell a few fox friends about the news, and then Qi Lao Er and others were also anxious, and went home to ask their respective fathers, and they also got similar news, so they all struggled and discussed, and decided that good friends should still be together, so they decided to go to the Western Army to suffer as soldiers.
Ma Teng, Yang Zhen and a few other unmeritorious gentlemen waved goodbye to a group of friends outside the west gate of Xianyang City, and their faces were full of melancholy.
As soon as Meng Yunqi's second and third bosses left, a group of people instantly felt that they were missing their backbone, especially when this year's Keju Competition was in full swing, the league results of each team would probably be a mess.
"Alas, Xianyang is not lively, I will go to the southeast in a few days, take care!" A gentleman sat on a horse and sighed faintly.
"Liu Erlang, what are you doing in the southeast?" Ma Teng asked curiously.
"After the start of Qinghehou's smooth road plan, the southeastern counties heard that it was very lively, and the planned seaports and wharves should be set up with customs, finance, commerce, security, supervision, management companies and other yamen, my father asked me last time if I would like to go to the customs yamen on a business, I didn't want to, I didn't expect that it was only a few days, Meng Dalang Gao Sanlang they went to the Western Regions quietly, and now there are only a few of us left, what does it mean to continue to stay in Xianyang!" Liu Erlang said with a stunned face.
"Also, Meng Dalang and they have meritorious deeds, and if they go to the barracks, they must still be a general, and if they come back in a few years, I am afraid that they will be generals or even marquis, if I still play like this, I am afraid that I will be laughed at, or not, I will go home and beg my father to find an errand......" The other gentleman also sighed and shook his head.
"Don't, you're leaving, what should I do with this Keju League?" Ma Teng and the rest of the gentlemen were in a hurry.
"Look over there, ......" Liu Erlang pointed to a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys who were braving the scorching sun in the open space, and there were many servants around him who were leading horses and carrying water, "See, we are already old, and the Keju League will be their world in the future!" ”
Looking at this group of teenagers running under the scorching sun and performing all kinds of fancy juju movements, as well as the boys and girls who watched and cheered around, Ma Teng and the others were instantly silent.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.
Six or seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and their group of coquettish people who led the coquettish in Xianyang are really old, once upon a time, they were also like this in the scorching sun, storms and even ice and snow in the crazy juju horse race, and even took a glider to hover over the Wei River and Xianyang City to shout, with extremely intense and exciting activities to obtain spiritual satisfaction and comfort.
But right now, a group of them are still the same, but more time is spent in Quyuan to drink and sisters, as they earn more and more money, their passion is getting less and less, compared with the group of young gentlemen who are rising in front of them, their group of old-timers is indeed dull, and it can no longer represent the thriving vitality of Daqin.
"Alas, let's go, I heard that the Marquis of Qinghe will go to the southeastern counties to inspect after returning to his hometown to visit relatives, and I will also go to join in the fun, Xianyang is no longer fun!"
"Also, Xianyang will be left to this group of little guys to play, the master wants to go to sea on a big ship, go to Yingzhou, go to Nanyang, maybe in two years he can reach the West one step ahead of Meng Dalang and them......"
"Haha, yes, let's go, drive~"
"Driving~~"
A group of gentlemen whipped away, and under the scorching sun, a group of teenagers were still running around the field, and from time to time there were roars and scolding.
"Ergouzi, will you pass the ball, our wild wolves must reach the top four of the league this year, and we must win the championship next year, master, I have spent nearly 100,000 yuan on the team......"
……
Daqin is advancing by leaps and bounds in the seemingly peaceful and peaceful, under the investment plan of four billion dollars, the entire Daqin has turned into a huge construction site, from south to north, relying on six major rivers, officials, craftsmen, businessmen and civilians, all like ants in boats, boats, cars and horses continue to flock to the southeastern counties, devoting themselves to this vigorous infrastructure project.
Cement factories, iron and steel mills, copper and iron coal mines, lumber yards, boat and ship yards, horse-drawn carriage factories, grain, cloth and tools and other materials were dispatched by the imperial court and the spontaneous actions of private merchants to speed up production and transportation, and a large number of merchant caravans drove goods back and forth.
On this hot summer day, the entire Great Qin is already like a volcano about to erupt, and it can no longer hold back its economic take-off that is about to take off again.
As the designer of the whole plan, Qinghehou, who can be called the greatest designer of the new era of Daqin, waited in his hometown until his sister Xing'er got married, and then took his family and parents to say goodbye, and took more than ten carriages along Qinchu Road to the south under the escort of the guards. At the same time, it will also publicize the merchants who deal in silk fabrics in the southeastern counties, so as to promote this large-scale integrated factory model to the whole Daqin as soon as possible.
Under the impetus of his continuous efforts, the development of Daqin has been unstoppable, as a mastermind, Chen Xu does not want to sit in Xianyang to listen to the news and read the newspaper, but wants to witness such an ancient miracle, a miracle that is almost entirely his own.
Compared with the rise and excitement of Great Qin in the East, the West has been in turmoil recently.
First of all, the fiancée snatched by the king of the Anxie Empire, Antiochus III, the young and beautiful princess of Susa, Athea, disappeared, Antiochus III thundered in the capital city of Apamea, and after careful investigation, it was found that it may be that the envoys of Great Qin abducted the princess, and Antiochus III vomited blood three liters in anger and then launched three thousand elite kings to chase the Great Qin Mission.
The second is that in March, a nomadic tribe calling themselves the Dayue clan broke into Central Asia after crossing the snow-capped mountains and deserts in the east, first looting several tribes along the way and then quickly growing in strength, not only replenishing a large number of livestock, goods and people taken away by Li Xin, but also robbing a large number of war horses and weapons and equipment.
The actions of the big moon clan angered the king of Kangju, at the end of March gathered 50,000 troops and the big moon clan for a big battle, the two sides even did not distinguish between victory and defeat, although the Kangju to wait for the labor and strong horses to occupy the right time, place and people, but the adversity of the survival of the big moon clan has more than 20,000 strong warriors equipped with saddle stirrups, and the battle is not afraid of death, the two sides fought for three days and hundreds of miles, Kangju killed and injured tens of thousands, and the big moon clan also had thousands of injuries, but in the face of the big moon people's desperate way of fighting, the Kangju people coaxed, and the king of Kangju and the big moon clan reached an agreement, Kangju can not attack the Otsuki clan, but the Otsuki clan must migrate south.
In the face of King Kangju's soft attitude, the king of the Dayue clan, the original king of the Yue's Nantu, Bi Kun, did not dare to be aggressive, so he could only continue to migrate south with his tribe, and the king of Kangju sent a large army to monitor the people of the Dayue clan before returning one after another when they left the territory of Kangju.
At the beginning of April, the Dayue clan migrated to the vicinity of Dawan, millions of cattle, sheep and horses and a huge tribe of 780,000 people appeared, which immediately frightened the Dawan people, and the king of Dawan was confused after getting the news and thought that it was the Kangju people attacking, so he gathered tens of thousands of soldiers to ride horses that ran like flying horses to intercept.
Kangju belongs to a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic people, occupying the vast grassland desert in the Aral Sea Basin, almost the same species as the Yueshi, belonging to the descendants of Qiangrong, although the Kangju population is large, but the civilization is very backward, has always been in the north, so the weapons and equipment are not advanced, and the battle is not disciplined.
And the Da Yue clan is different, although in the eyes of the Da Qin people is also very backward, they can't weave cloth and make clothes, they don't even have steel weapons, and the stirrup saddle is also made of stumbling and can kill a person, but the Da Yue clan has grown up in the constant battle with Daqin, and is used to seeing the fierceness and domineering of the Da Qin people, and knows the huge role of the stirrup saddle in the battle, plus Tunan King Bi Kun also has a better understanding of the Central Plains culture, and there are a group of powerful assistants such as King Humi and Mao Dun around him, so although the Da Yue clan is unfamiliar with the place to break into Central Asia, but in the face of 50,000 Kangju people than in the face of thousands of elite horses in Daqin, although a big war suffered a lot of losses, but also forced Kangju people to acquiesce to their right to live in this area.
King Tunan was very depressed, but he had to go south, but not long after leaving the range of the Kangju people, he found that another large army came to intercept him, and the two armies faced each other, and the soldiers of the Dayue clan were all nervous and protected tens of thousands of clansmen and livestock behind him, and most of the clan leaders persuaded the king of Tunan not to fight with him and continue to move to the southwest to find a place with abundant water and grass to cultivate.
However, Mao Dun disagreed, because he found that the elite of these Dawan people were riding sweaty horses known as Pegasus.
"King, the people of the Central Plains often say that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, now we have been forced to have no way out, continue to go south thousands of miles and don't know how long it will take, this Dawan only has 10,000 people, but there are so many BMWs, as long as we can win the battle and win thousands of BMWs, it will greatly enhance our strength, and we will be able to deal with it calmly in the face of more powerful enemies in the future, I heard that the strength of the Western powers to rest in peace is no less than that of Daqin, we can't take it lightly......"
"King, what Prince Mao Dun said is right, Dawan has Daxia and body poison to the south, and there is rest to the west, we are not familiar with life and it is not easy to wander around, if we can't find a place to live before autumn, I'm afraid we can't survive this winter!" A man wearing a long robe who looked like a native of the Central Plains also stood up to persuade him.
"King, I heard that Dawan has a total population of only 300,000, and although the war horses are good, they are not equipped with enough stirrups and saddles, if we can capture Dawan, we can not only stop and recuperate, but also get a large number of excellent war horses......
Although he was completely covered by Great Qin Gang's body, he had hardly lost much of his battle since he came to this world, so the battle of some clan leaders was still very strong.
The most important thing is that for more than two months of non-stop migration battles, not only the loss of livestock and goods, but also the lack of food and clothing and the diseases caused by the heat have made all the tribes panic, if they continue to wander without this purpose, I am afraid that the Otsuki clan, a huge tribe that has gathered of different races and tribes, will collapse in the autumn.
"King, Mao Dun is willing to lead an army of 10,000 to defeat the Dawan people, we can't continue without a purpose!" Mao Dun went out to fight.
"King, I'm going to ask for my life to fight with the Dawan people!" King Humi and several other tribal leaders also stepped forward.
"Okay, then Mao Dun will lead 10,000 people from the left camp to fight Dawan, if you win, this king will make you the king of Dumi this time, and you will never break your word!" Bi Kun clenched his fists fiercely and said.
"Thank you, the king, all the troops of the left camp will attack with me!" Maudon gritted his teeth, drew his sharp steel sword, and roared on his horse.
"Kill~~" Bi Kun's left and right side of the huge wolf skin shook constantly, and in an instant, more than 10,000 ragged and fierce Dayue warriors brandished spears and arrows, roaring towards the Dawan people like a flood that broke the embankment.
