12. Dachang Military Workshop

It stands to reason that it would be unwise to execute a hostage, as it would only provoke the unending hatred of the defecting people, but the situation had reached this point, and Zampu's feelings had overcome his reason. With-Dream- . lā

Anyway, I don't expect the Shatuo and Tuyuhun who have fallen into more than 10,000 tents to come back, so they simply kill all the clansmen they left in Dafan to prevent future troubles.

Liangzhou is adjacent to the edge of the desert, the tribal land of Shatuo, the cry soared to the sky, the cavalry of Xifan rushed in, wantonly trampled on their tents, abducted their cattle and sheep, and then regardless of men, women or old and young, all pulled to the edge of the moraine, cruelly gouged out their eyes, cut off their hands, and then beheaded, the crime was that they were stationed at the border of Huizhou of the same clan, especially the Khan Zhu Xie Chixin had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and now the whole Shatuo has become the enemy of the Dafan country, leaving no one behind.

Zhu Xie's two younger sisters knelt on the grass and watched as the Xifan executioner used a sharp machete to cut off the heads of their children one by one, cutting off their lives. With each fall of a young head, the two women screamed sharply, tearing their hearts apart.

The executioner stepped forward, snatched a girl who was still in her infancy, held it high above her head, and smashed it on the stone of the bull, and the girl didn't even have time to cry, and suddenly she was unrecognizable and burst out of blood

Most of the remaining Shatuo people were sturdy men, who tried all kinds of ways to escape, rode on horses or camels, and with boundless hatred for Xifan, they threw themselves to the north court where the Tang army was stationed.

Qinghai Lake area, the remaining Tuyuhun people are even more miserable, corpses and blood float all over the lake, and they have nowhere to escape, after the Tuyuhun regime was destroyed by the Western Tibetans, they became the subjects of the Western Tibetans, bearing a heavy "ox leg tax" (paying a quarter of the income), and did not raise horses in the Western Tibet, so there is the Western Tibetan army and horses money and grain, half out of the Hun (Tuyuhun) said, and now it is a disaster of annihilation.

After the news of the slaughter of the clansmen reached Yuanzhou, Zhu Xie Chixin and Murong Junchao were completely blinded, and took their subordinates to the west to worship in the west to pay tribute to the victims.

Gao Yue took the opportunity to preach to them and instigated Sha Tuo and Tuyuhun:

He said that in the future, when the Tang army recovers Hexi, it will set aside the capital of the state and let all the Shatuo people return to their hometowns.

He also said to Murong Junchao, after the Tang army captures Qinghai in the future, you will all go back, and the "ox leg tax" you used to bear will be abolished, as long as you contribute war horses to the Tang family every year.

Then Gao Yue sincerely took the hands of the two khans and princes, and said that now our goals are completely the same, my Tang family wants to recover Hexi and Longyou, and you want to recover the homeland, our blood is completely integrated, and we must work hard to revitalize the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

After being moved, Gao Yue asked in detail about the geography and terroir of Xifan in Huizhou and Hehuang area, and did a good job of collecting information for the future to continue to open up the border and restore the land, and then Gao Yue said to the two of them, now that the party of Bai Yushan has not been extinguished, I don't know if the two of them may help Yue?

The two of them immediately understood that this was Gao Yue's representative of the Tang family, asking them to "vote for a name", and hurriedly said respectfully that I can't wait for the descendant, as long as I say a word, I will go to the soup and go to the fire.

Gao Yue hurriedly said, what did you say? In the future, you must not call yourself that way, Shatuo is in the moon and retreats, you belong to the "attached" and "returned".

Externally, Gao Yue ordered to strictly guard the news of Shatuo and Tuyuhun, especially for the party members who were in the siege network of Bai Yushan.

After July after the look, the vicinity of Gyeongju City has turned into a huge military fortress, the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army each have 8,000 generals and cavalry, the Baoda Army has 5,000 cavalry and the 4,000 generals and 6,000 archers of the Baoda Army and the 4,000 generals and 6,000 archers of the Lun Ming Army, all of them have gathered and set up camp here, and there are Qiangtun forts such as white horses, cattle slaughtering, and Shuyi in the surrounding counties.

Under the order of Gao Yue, the hills and mountain beams of South Daechangwon, Gyeongju were well ventilated, and holes were dug in the ground, and "iron" and "copper smelting" furnaces were built, and the mouths of these furnaces were wide in the lower abdomen, which was conducive to putting fuel down and reducing the loss of heat during forging, and the walls of the furnaces were coated with refractory mud with ears of wheat, chaff, and coarse sand, and then Gao Yue again commissioned a caravan to transport copper blocks from the Changshin Copper Mountain in Xingqinzhou, and asked the caravan to transport a large amount of pig iron from the iron officials of Liju and Yangju in Heungwonfu, and cut down trees in the mountains of Gyeongju on the spot to make charcoal. to smelt all kinds of offensive and defensive weapons.

Every evening, the entire valley of Daechangwon is lit up with red light, and molten iron winds along the foothills like a terrifying red dragon.

For this reason, Gao Yue exempted a large number of Kuofang households from Xingyuan and Fengxiang under the preferential conditions of exemption from the two taxes: the Kuofang households with craftsmanship for building equipment, and the smelting of copper and iron Gaoyue used 3,000 Dongshan official slaves, all of which were previously captured from Gyeongju, and now they returned to their hometown, but they were slaves, they were all over the mountains, with a bare spine around the copper and iron furnace, facing the scorching sun that was abusive with the fire, and the sweat beads had just seeped out of their bodies, or turned into water vapor in the sun, or the land dripping on the side of the stove turned into green smoke.

For Dongshan Nu, the only consolation is the low-alcohol wine brewed from wheat in Xingyuan Mansion, which is diametrically opposed to "Zhongliang Shochu", with low alcohol content, it is not easy to get drunk and refreshing, especially suitable for this group of Dongshan Qiang who are forging slaves.

Not only that, Gao Yue also according to the drawings given by Master Ming Xuan, made hundreds of "marching furnaces", as the name suggests, this kind of molten iron furnace is convenient for fighting with the army, it is relatively small, in addition to the furnace body, it is mainly connected to a trapezoidal bellows, which is chiseled with wooden holes, and each of them can be installed with movable "wooden fans", the craftsmen of the Kuofang household use two pullable wooden rods, pull the two wooden fans to open and close, fan a large stream of air into the furnace, can quickly raise the temperature inside, and then the molten iron can flow out from the chute of the furnace umbilicus, used to forge various armor pieces, shoes, stirrups, sluggers, arrows, chariots, swords, etc.

Of course, there is also the "Tiger Cannon" improved by Zhang Baobai, the fixed let go of the fifth battalion in Feishan.

Now Gao Yue waved his pen and said that the tiger is no longer throwing stone projectiles, but using divine thunder fire to launch lead-iron projectiles, so the "cannon" is changed to "cannon".

No, on 20 July, Gao Yue personally visited the field training school in Dachangwon to inspect the updated "Tiger Artillery III" and other cutting-edge armor weapons.

These weapons were immediately prepared to be used in the Pingqiang war, and in the process of killing, the soldiers were not only familiar with the operation of new weapons, but also innovated their armaments and tactics, and in addition, they also accumulated experience for the future war of recovery against Helong, so that they could be easily improved.

That's right, the six prefectures of Weibei and the Pingxia party in Shuofang are bloody testing grounds for new weapons and tactics.

Since then, the one who has left his name in history is my Gao Yue;

Of course, you will also leave your name, as a miserable extermination, a footnote to my glorious achievements, and a paving stone to trample under the iron hoof of the revival of the empire.
