Chapter 426: The Awakening of Capitalism

On the way back to Beijing, Qin Hao was a little embarrassed.

The reason why it is embarrassing is entirely because Li Xin is pregnant again.

Starting from Chang'an to Mount Tai, he walked slowly and leisurely for half a year along the way, this can also be pregnant, thinking of Qin Hao drilling into Li Xin's car at every turn, everyone looked at him with a little wrong eyes.

Big brother, let's seal Zen, don't you want to be so anxious! No wonder he was assassinated, he deserved it!

And Li Xin was completely embarrassed to come out to meet people, hiding in the carriage along the way, and couldn't hear anything said outside.

Qin Hao is also quite excited, this is his first child in the true sense of the word in this world, Qin Xiaohao is not counted.

Speaking of Qin Xiaohao, this product has been crazy for the past two days, playing with Li Zhi Xiaowu during the day, and busy with his shit at night, not a child who is tired day by day like Wang Ba calf, especially this Demon Sect assassination incident, it seems that Qin Xiaohao's liver fire has also been stirred up, and this product actually wants to experiment with making oxygen cylinders.

Anyway, Qin Hao is still very pleased, although this oxygen cylinder can't be made nine times out of ten, because oxygen is easy to make, but with the metallurgical process of Datang, wanting to make a bottle that can hold oxygen is basically equivalent to a fantasy, but this filial piety still makes him very useful.

received news from home, saying that a nurse had died in the family, Qin Hao knew that Qin Xiaohao had made a move, but he didn't particularly care, he was a little ostrich mentality now, as long as Qin Xiaohao didn't let him grab the handle, he didn't know anything.

In this way, she walked for another half a year, and when she returned to Chang'an, Li Xin's stomach was more than five months old, and she became an expectant mother again.

Everything seems to be back on track.

Xue Wanche and Pei Xingjian went back to Liaodong one step ahead of him, and he needed to stay in Chang'an for a while longer, because a lot of things had happened in the past six months, all of which had something to do with him, and Li Xin's belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day, and he didn't want to toss anymore.

First of all, Tubo and Nanzhao, in just half a year, the rest of the small countries in Nanzhao actually had no power to resist, and they were all swept away by Xu Jie. When the news came, Qin Hao was also stunned, the Jiangnan Mansion soldiers were so fierce? The Guanzhong soldiers don't have this efficiency!

After getting the detailed report, Qin Hao was completely speechless with a wry smile, the total number of troops commanded by Xu Jie actually exceeded 300,000, not counting the party members sent by the Anxi Protectorate to help.

This number is so scary, not to mention Qin Hao, Li Shimin is also completely Spartan, and he sent someone to transfer Xu Jie back as soon as possible, and now he is on his way.

Thinking that he Xu Jie is just a small Zhonglang general, and even his affiliation is still under the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, how can He De fight such a battle of 300,000 troops and destroy more than ten countries in a row? Besides, there are only 100,000 soldiers in the entire Jiangnan, and the remaining 200,000 are specially conjured by magic?

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, most of them didn't understand how this battle was fought, but Qin Hao understood that in this battle, Xu Jie was pushed up as a flag nine times out of ten, and the real winner behind the scenes was Hongmen.

Underestimate this civil society.

Hongmen's group, a bit like a non-governmental business alliance, has an extremely loose structure, and does not even have a banner owner, except for the fact that it is more united when it fights against the infiltration of the Green Gang, there is no big difference between this organization and whether it is or not, who would have thought that they could do such a big thing.

In fact, it is not particularly complicated to say, at the beginning of Xu Xian's soldiers, there were only 20,000 regular troops, and later when I heard that the captured prisoners could be sold as slaves, so many people came with them to join in the fun, and it was less than 100,000.

As a result, people later found that the Nanzhao monkey seemed to be easier to fight than imagined, and the Tang Dynasty folk quietly rose a trend of Huanghuali coffins, a whole Huanghuali was made into a coffin and transported to Luoyang, which could almost be exchanged for the same weight of gold.

Now, the merchants immediately saw the business opportunity, as the so-called first-come, first-served, first-come, first-come, not only to sell two more trees, but more importantly, to monopolize the timber in the area.

So, all the people in the Hongmen came up in a mess, although they didn't have soldiers in their hands, but they could hire no soldiers, the fierceness of the early Tang Dynasty folk customs was simply outrageous, it is estimated that any aunt, carrying a hoe is not weaker than the soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty, not to mention those serious soldiers who are idle at home farming, who doesn't want to make some extra money?

So Xu Jie found that he could command more and more in his hands, and at first he was still here to grab wood, and then he didn't know what was going on, as if he regarded this national war as a meeting of their incense lords from all over the country, and more and more people came, and they didn't know whether they were here to fight or join in the fun, and even female soldiers could make up more than 10,000.

It is also thanks to the dense mountains and forests in Nanzhao, and the formation of large troops and the like can't be used, all of them are scattered and small units are fighting on their own, and none of the countries of Nanzhao are unified to recover, such a rabble actually won magically.

This is special, at this point, the battle has long been not in the hands of Xu Jie, a Zhonglang general, after this goods are fought in the middle of the year, except for a name, in fact, nothing has been done, and the battle is over.

Thanks to Qin Xiaohao's backhand in Hongmen, and Xu Jie has worked in the Qing Gang for a period of time and has a little corresponding experience, otherwise these merchant soldiers may not be able to do something in Erhai, even if this place is burned.

The key thing is that the imperial court still doesn't know how to start for a while.

It stands to reason that it should be a happy thing to win a war, but who can be happy when fighting such a war? Soldiers, the major matter of the survival of the country is confused, and the center doesn't know anything, and the 300,000 army has destroyed other people's countries like this.

Of course, there is also the reason why the imperial court brigade went to Mount Tai to seal Zen and communicate unsmoothly, but such a major event has nothing to do with the center at all, so it is terrible.

And what's even more terrifying is that this matter seems to be a spontaneous act of the people, so Hongmen doesn't even have a formal and decent leader, even if the court wants to find someone to vent his anger, who can he find? Xu Jie?

People are generals who have won battles, and they have nothing to do with Hongmen, and those Hongmen people were not recruited by him, and the court has to talk about conscience, not to mention that if people win the battle and fall again, will it chill the hearts of the generals in the world?

This time, it was originally the Jiangnan government soldiers as the main force, and the Jiangnan people and the Guanzhong people have always had regional discrimination, and if this is not handled well, it will not be new for the Jiangnan side to mutiny.

But the reward? Can Li Shimin swallow this breath and be indifferent to such a bad thing? For a while, even Li Er, who wrote Emperor Fan, and Fang Xuanling, who was good for the ages, were also stunned, how could there be such a thing, I had never heard of it at all.

In this regard, only Qin Hao's father and son may be able to understand it, in fact, it is very simple, the capitalism of the Tang Dynasty is about to awaken.
