"What? Those barbarians actually have muskets? ”

The jade gate guard will shoot the case.

"General! A few of my subordinates really saw it, it was indeed a musket, but it looked a little different from the style of my musket. ”

"But I grabbed my tongue and came back."

"There are too many enemies, and my subordinates have not been able to succeed, please forgive the general."

"Well, I know, you go down first!"

"General Xie!"

After the scout left, the guard immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Qinzhou overnight.

After a few days, the form of the Western Regions deteriorated more and more.

The newly rising tribe, relying on advanced weapons, conquered a large area of land in a very short time.

In the autumn of the sixth year of the emperor's reign, Wusun was established in the hostile state of Qi.

When Yang Hao received the news from the front, two months had passed.

It is impossible for the Qi people to outflow the musket as a weapon to the surrounding barbarians, and now that the musket has appeared on the Hu people's side, thinking of Rome in the west, how could Yang Hao not guess the ins and outs of the matter.

"What a good plan to support the natives against me? It's really the usual style of Westerners.

If I don't give you some color to see, I really can't wait for me to be muddy.

”

Yang Hao immediately convened an emergency court meeting and prepared to send troops to quell the rebellion in the Western Regions.

After several years of training, the Qi army itself is extremely close to the model of the modern army.

The musketeers have completely replaced the archers, and after countless deductions, they have mastered the most efficient tactics of the musket era.

Strict military discipline makes every soldier like a robot, and obedience to military orders in the army has formed an instinct.

As soon as the war mobilization arrived, a regiment of troops was immediately sent from Qinzhou to support Yumen.

Palace.

The important ministers of the court sat opposite Yang Hao.

"Great King, then Rome's move is obviously ill-intentioned towards my Daqi, but according to the old minister's opinion, this Rome's support for this Wusun is to block my Daqi and consume my Daqi's national strength.

Second, I want to test the national strength of my Qi country, if the minister's expectations are good, if my Daqi battle is not good, this Rome is likely to send troops directly to attack.

”

The white-haired Yin said in a deep voice.

"Zuo Xiang is right, the old minister also thinks that my Daqi should pacify the Western Regions by thunderous means, and now my Daqi is in the critical period of building the railway, and we must not rashly have a direct conflict with this country, as long as we deter the Rome and maintain peace between the two sides for several years, and wait until the railway is repaired, whether it is war or peace, I Daqi will take the initiative to get one side."

The military department is still the book.

Yang Hao nodded: "This is good, we must fight this battle beautifully, the land of the Western Regions is barren, I have no intention of including it in the territory so soon, it seems that this time it must be advanced."

However, just in case, I thought that our dynasty must prepare for war with Rome in advance.

Du Qing! What is the current state of armament in Qinzhou and Hexi?

”

"Your Majesty, in the past few years, there have been about 130,000 soldiers in service in Qinzhou, including about 70,000 soldiers, and about 50,000 logistics, engineers, and medical soldiers.

Among the soldiers, there were more than 10,000 cavalry, more than 30,000 musketeers, more than 20,000 spearmen, 5,000 artillerymen, more than 300 siege guns and more than 1,000 field guns in the entire cities of Qinzhou.

The land west of the river is vast and sparsely populated, and there are garrisons in various passes, with a total of more than 10,000 people, and there is only one integrated infantry regiment at Yumen Pass, totaling 2,500 people.

Twenty siege guns.

”

Listening to the introduction of the troop strength in the military department, Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Except for the garrison needs, how much can Qinzhou immediately put into battle." ”

The military department Shangshu thought for a while and said, "It can mobilize about 30,000 people. ”

"More than 30,000 people? Kong Qing! Your household department counted the daily consumption of grain and grass for more than 30,000 people sent to the Western Regions, and sent it to the front of the case within three days. ”

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said: "The minister's decree." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, at the moment of the great enemy, we must not be negligent, I can have today's hard-won people, and the Criminal Department will strictly investigate those who collaborate with the enemy and commit treason."

"Wait for the order!"

"In addition, the construction of the railway must be accelerated, and if there is not enough manpower, the prisoners in the prisons will be requisitioned, and these people will be a waste of national food if they remain in the prison, and it is just right to send them to repair the railway at this time, and if the barbarians on the plateau make trouble again, they will send troops to arrest them, and the population will be sent to build the railway."

"Wait for the order!"

Half a month later, the people of Qi suddenly found that the yamen had suddenly taken away all the prisoners in prison, and for a while the people speculated about the intention of the imperial court.

。。。。。。

Qinzhou Gushan Village is a small village on the border, compared with the rich areas of Qi State, it seems to be very poor, and there is even only one school within a radius of dozens of miles.

Tian Dalang has been living in this small village for 20 years, and although he has married a wife, his family has been getting more and more difficult recently.

Tian Kan Dalang's father accidentally broke his leg while chopping wood, and in this era, this kind of injury can only be left to fate.

But after some knowledgeable people in the village told Tian Dalang that the doctor in the county town had a miraculous method that might save his father's life, Tian Dalang went to the county seat alone with his father on his back.

It's just that after finding the doctor in the county seat, the doctor told Tian Dalang that his father's injury was not fatal, but the medicine used was very expensive.

Tian Dalang almost fainted after hearing the price, the family was poor, and the only thing worth it was an old scalper who had followed him for seven or eight years.

If he sells his cattle, his family will have to drink the northwest wind, and he has two younger brothers and three younger sisters, all of whom are still young, and his father is injured, and the burden of supporting the family falls on him.

Qi attaches great importance to filial piety, how can Tian Dalang watch his father die.

But this is the situation at home, and for a while, I just feel that the sky is about to fall.

"Oh Lang! Dad's disease is incurable, let's go, let's go back! ”

Father Tian looked at his eldest son with a sad face and sighed.

"Daddy! What do you say, the doctor said that as long as you take medicine, you can not only hold your life, but also get better in your legs, so why can you be cured? ”

"That medicine is twenty times, and our family has so much money!"

"Daddy! Even if I sell the cattle, I will make up the money. ”

"You... You unfilial son, are you going to be angry with me? If you dare to sell the cow, I will die here today. ”

Speaking of Daddy Tian, he was about to crash into the wall behind him.

"Daddy!"

Tian Dalang exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly pulled him up, if he was half a point fuller, he could only watch his father's blood splash on the spot.

"Ah Dad, what are you doing, I don't sell cattle anymore, I don't sell anymore."

"Son! Dad has lived long enough to live, Dad is like this, living is a drag, this family still depends on you! ”

Father Tian choked up.

The father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly under the wall, their voices sad.

Suddenly, a voice came.

"Old man, why are you crying so much?"

When the father and son of the Tian family heard this, they looked up and saw an elegant-looking man standing in front of them, and there was a little girl with pink jade carvings beside him, who was looking at his father and son curiously.

Tian Dalang saw that this man was extraordinary and didn't look like a villain, so he told him what had happened to him.

After hearing this, the man sighed and said, "Alas! I'm ashamed of the court! Little brother, bring your father with me! ”
