Chapter 928: Warrior Monument
"There are many large islands in the southeast of the sea of Sinhala, on which there are mountains of gold and silver, and when the places of Tianzhu have been stabilized, you can send people to find them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but there are indigenous people on those islands, they are still in a primitive tribal state, uncivilized, and lazy by nature! If I can find the gold and silver mountains, I will no longer be short of money to spend! ”
Zhao Lei promised: "Yes, Erchen remembers!" ”
On May 25, the fourth year of Xinghan, Zhao Ziliang's division returned to the new army, and the third army, the sixth army, the ninth army, and the ninety-ninth army all withdrew to Xinjing, leaving Brehan to command 30,000 slave troops and 20,000 compulsory troops to guard Tianzhu, and the opposition forces in all parts of Tianzhu were basically eradicated, leaving 50,000 troops to guard Tianzhu, and 210,000 servant troops to assist, so it was absolutely no problem to maintain the stability of Tianzhu.
Before leaving, Zhao Ziliang named the capital of the original Boramoro Kingdom, which is now the location of the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate - Nandu.
Zhao Lei was appointed as the protector of Tianzhu Prefecture, and stayed in Nandu to be fully responsible for handling Tianzhu's military and political affairs.
Zhao Ting was ordered to lead the naval fleet and the Seventh Army to return to Jisu Duhufu, and he would be transferred back to Xinjing in half a year.
Zhao Ziliang's team lined up on the road for more than ten miles, and there were more than 300 carriages full of treasures, hundreds of beauties taken away from Tianzhu, as well as lions, elephants and other wild beasts in cages, etc., Zhao Ziliang planned to bring these animals back to Xinjing to build a large zoo for the people of Xinjing to enjoy.
Along the way, flags fluttered, drums and music continued, and the people of various cities along the way stood on the side of the road under the leadership of government officials and reluctantly saw them off.
This time, Zhao Ziliang's class returned to Xinjing, not only taking away a large number of treasures, rare animals, peerless beauties, but also a large number of books and classics, which can be stored in the newly built library!
After a month and a half of long-distance marching, Zhao Ziliang arrived in Xinjing on June 29 in the fourth year of Xinghan, and the ministers, officials and military generals of various official departments under the royal court all went out of the city for ten miles to greet them, and the people of Xinjing had already received the news, and they went out of the city before dawn to occupy a favorable position to see the king's demeanor and the mighty posture of the army.
On this day, the new capital was really empty, and the number of people who came to greet them was twice as many as when the founding celebration was held four years ago, and at least sixty percent of the people in the entire new capital came out.
Many people held a small Western Qin flag bought on the street in their hands, and when Zhao Ziliang's royal car arrived, they kept waving it, shouting long live. Zhao Ziliang rode on horseback and kept waving to the people.
After returning from this expedition, Zhao Ziliang brought back a large amount of gold and silver to enrich the treasury, which made Prime Minister Cen Shen and the officials happy for a long time.
The army was taken away by their respective army commanders outside the city and stationed in the camp, Zhao Ziliang passed through the entire new capital under the protection of the guards and finally came to the Taiji Square in front of the palace, and he found that there was a towering rectangular stone tablet on the west side of the square.
Cen Shen introduced: "King, this is the Warrior Monument!" It records the names of the warriors who died in previous battles, the base is three zhang long and wide, the top is three feet long and wide, and the height is sixteen zhang and four feet eight inches! ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded approvingly: "Okay, this warrior monument is well built!" ”
The next day, Zhao Ziliang was led by Cen Shen and visited the memorial hall recently built in the south of the city, which covers an area of tens of thousands of acres, and is spacious inside, and the walls record every big and small war of Zhao Ziliang since the army.
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile after visiting; "I didn't expect you to turn over all the old things of this king many years ago!"
Cen Shen said: "The reason why this memorial hall was built to carve out the big and small wars since the king joined the army is mainly for future generations to pay respects, so that future generations can understand that it is not easy to build the Western Qin Dynasty, and warn future generations that today's prosperity is not easy to come by!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "It makes sense for you to say that, the starting point is good!" ”
On the first day of the seventh month, the Great Dynasty Meeting, Zhao Ziliang held a court meeting for the first time in the Guangming Palace, and all the officials above the five grades in Xinjing participated in the court meeting, although the Guangming Hall was large enough, it was still crowded.
At the court meeting, Zhao Ziliang listened to the ministers' reports on government affairs, justice, and supervision, and a senior general of the Military Machinery Institute also reported to Zhao Ziliang on military affairs.
Zhao Ziliang, the king, definitely did not want to be easy for the kings of other countries, he delegated power, to a large extent, did not ask about specific affairs, only grasped the general principles and policies, which not only gave the courtiers the opportunity to fully display their talents, so that they had the opportunity to deal with many things on their own, but also freed up a lot of time for himself, he only reviewed the chapter once every few days, and did not need to deal with military and political affairs at other times.
He began to use his free time to go out to inspect the governance of various localities, the implementation of the judicial system in various places, and often inspected the supervision of officials by the supervision system, and also paid attention to the movements in the Central Plains and the West.
The situation in Western Qin is quite stable, and there is no obvious situation of forming a party for personal gain and party strife in the court for the time being, Zhao Ziliang is more taboo about this, and the officials also know that Zhao Ziliang is very taboo about this, so they are very suspicious, and since Zhao Ziliang announced that he would determine the issue of succession to the throne in the form of legislation, the ministers who have the idea of forming a party have automatically given up this idea.
On the eighth day of the seventh month, Zhao Ziliang summoned Wang Can in the palace and asked, "What is the situation between the Great Food Kingdom and the Eastern Roman Empire?" Or do you stop and fight? ”
Wang Can hugged his fists and said: "Great King, after two years of war between the Great Food Country and the Eastern Roman Empire, both sides are relatively tired, and both sides dare not use all their strength, the Great Food Country has to worry about the sudden attack of domestic opposition forces, and at the same time, it is also guarding against our country's sneak attack from behind, since the end of the war in Tianzhu, the attack of the Great Food Country on the Eastern Roman Empire has weakened significantly, and it has completely stopped recently!" Judging from all indications, the Great Food Country is very guarded against our country! The Eastern Roman Empire did not dare to go all out, also because there was a threat from the Bulgarian Khanate and the Slavs behind it, although it signed a ceasefire agreement with them, but this thing was not safe, Constantine V also said that he was a fool, and there was still a considerable part of his forces in Thrace to defend against the Bulgarian Khanate and the Slavs! ”
Zhao Ziliang walked to the map and looked at it for a while, and asked, "Is the confrontation area between the Great Food Kingdom and the Eastern Roman Empire still maintained in the area of Kayseri and Sivas?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Ziliang said: "The aggressiveness of the big cannibals is indeed very strong, at the beginning they just lived on this barren desert peninsula, and in just over a hundred years, they swallowed the North African region of the Eastern Roman Empire, Syria, Cyprus, and the Sassanid Dynasty of the Persian Empire, and continued to the north, swallowing Armenia and the surrounding areas of the Eastern Roman Empire, and now they have crossed the Taurus Mountains and penetrated deep into the eastern part of the Anatonian Plain. The territory of the Eastern Roman Empire has been gradually swallowed up by two-thirds of the cannibals in more than a hundred years, and there is such an enemy lying on his side, so that the king cannot sleep! By the way, how is the Dongchang campaign to support the opposition forces within the Great Cannibals? ”
Wang Can hugged his fists and said: "Great King, in the past two or three years, we have supported a total of two forces within the Great Food Country, one is the Persians, it is the Boslawan faction in the Great Food Country, they are all Persians, and many of them are also high-ranking officials and nobles in the Great Food Country, this force has rebelled against Mansur's rule since the famous general of the Great Food and Bo Xilin was killed by Mansur, but it was quickly suppressed, and the main personnel had to retreat to the countryside to hide and continue to engage in activities against Mansur in secret, and their members are all original Persians; The other was the Sinbadists, who were also supporters of the Boschlin."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "How much strength do these two forces have in the Great Food Country now?" ”
Wang Can said: "The Boslawan faction has a total of more than 3,000 troops in the Great Food Country, basically distributed in Khorasan Province and the surrounding areas on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, while the Sinbad faction has a slightly larger force, more than 5,000 people, mainly distributed in Syria!" Although the forces of these two forces are quite large, they are relatively scattered, and it is a little difficult to concentrate them in a short period of time and not be discovered by the officials of the Great Food Country before the incident! ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and asked, "How much money have we spent on them in the past few years?" ”
"Two million six hundred thousand guan!"
Zhao Ziliang said: "We have invested so much, we should have some gains, and find a way to mobilize these two forces to launch an uprising in the Great Food Country!" Let the Sinbad faction start in Syria first, first cut off the supply line of the Great Food Country to the army attacking the Eastern Roman Empire on the front line, if this supply line can be cut off within a period of time, the Great Food Army on the front line will have to retreat due to lack of supplies or be seized by the army of the Eastern Roman Empire to counterattack! After that, the action awaits the further development of the situation, and we will see the situation! ”
Wang Can nodded and asked, "What about the Perslawan faction?" Do you also let them do it in Khorasan Province and the southern shore of the Caspian Sea at the same time, so that the big food country cannot take care of the whole thing? ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and said: "Yes, let them start at the same time, attack the city and seize the land as quickly as possible, capture as many cities and regions as possible, and then recruit soldiers to deal with the counterattack of the army of the Great Food Country, in case they can't resist, they can be allowed to retreat into the territory of our country or retreat into the territory of Huathorn Zimo!" ”
Wang Can said: "If this is the case, the Boslawan faction will have no worries, they will definitely want to attack Manersu and the army will launch a crazy attack!" But what if they are really defeated and retreat into our territory, and the Great Food Official Army pursues into our territory? ”
Zhao Ziliang's eyes widened: "They dare?" Want to provoke a war between the two countries? You just have to go and deploy, this king has his own measure in this matter! ”
Wang Can promised: "Yes, my lord! ”
