Section 692 Zhaowu returns to Tang
In the military system of the Western Regions, the order to slaughter the city can only be issued by Wei Xi alone, and the rest of the generals are not allowed to move without permission. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Cao people let Wei Xi's military strength be damaged, and they had to pay the heaviest price to kill time.
In fact, Wei Xi's least favorite thing is to slaughter the city, which is contrary to his concept of civilization from the future, and with his ability to squeeze oil out of stones, it is more in his interest to reduce the enemy to slavery and work for him for free.
But the people of Cao Guo resisted him for a year, if all the cities were like this, wouldn't they be able to fight until others couldn't finish fighting!
The Tang army suffered 30,000 casualties under Cao Guocheng, 10,000 killed in battle, and thousands of people lost their ability to work.
Slaughter the city!
Let the Chestrites pay the price of blood, effectively deter, and let all those who resist see the consequences.
Jiang Shi had not yet given orders to the three armies, and the Lites next to him heard it clearly, and all the Litas pounced out, kneeling in front of Wei Xi and begging: "General, don't do it!" ”
They watched a textbook siege in horror, shocked by the attack power of the Tang army, and Wei Xi's order to slaughter the city made them feel like a bolt from the blue.
"It's not that I want to kill, the people of Cao Guo have blocked our army for too long, and there are too many people who have killed and injured our army, and I must also give an account to my army!" Wei Xi sighed lightly: "It's hard for me too!" A dry chestnut begged bitterly, and Wei Xi pushed the boat down the river and said: "Well, for your sake, then leave all the women as slaves!" ”
The people of Lite still had to ask for more, Jiang Zhi pressed his sword and said sharply: "Man'er is a small country, resist the heavenly army, the general will act on behalf of the heavens, leaving all the women, it is already an extrajudicial grace, no need to say more!" ”
……
Even the gods descended to save the city from its tragic fate.
The resistance forces in the city had no fighting spirit and were quickly wiped out, and the Zhou army methodically "cleaned up" the city, they slaughtered all the men they encountered, drove the women out of the city and concentrated, and then the first-line troops retreated, and the second-line government troops went into battle, they were responsible for cleaning the city again, killing or plundering the fish that had slipped through the net, picking up all the wealth and distributing it to the public, and finally the migrant workers went into battle and were responsible for cleaning up the wreckage.
Wei Xi did not intend to give up this city, in the Western Regions, every city is precious, and it is good for grazing and agricultural production.
The city belongs to Princess Taiping!
"We got sixty thousand women, all of whom were reduced to slavery."
After screening, the beautiful ones are kept for rewards, gifts, and auctions, while the ugly ones are all given to labor and management to work!
Got the goods worth 7 million guan of Cao State, which is a little less, but Cao State has been besieged for more than a year, and there is a lot of loss and consumption of goods.
……
Happily feast in the palace of King Cao, and reward the meritorious heroes: the soldiers who went into battle were treated generously, and the bounty was given to the woman!
Happiness troubles: There is too much money TMD, and it is not easy to carry.
In the army, there is hardly any money, everything is rationed, money cannot be spent, on the contrary, military salaries are constantly increasing.
There is an inevitability in the development of things, such as banks.
Attacking the Western Regions, the income was huge, it was real money and silver and strings of copper coins, which were very heavy, so the bank collected gold, silver and copper in exchange for silver tickets.
Xiyu Quanye Bank was officially established!
It operates the business of currency savings and credit, and is engaged in currency exchange (such as gold, silver and copper swaps), custody, settlement, remittance, lending, etc.
The head office of the bank in the army is located in Qiuzi, and it is compiled every year to provide the following service: if a soldier dies in battle, the money he has saved will be handed over to his family, and it will not be swallowed up.
There is no doubt about the role of banks, and the development of the Western Regions has been boosted, and funds can be concentrated to do business, which has improved the speed of development.
……
The cheers of the soldiers of the Zhou army celebrating the victory kept coming, making those Lites feel like they were on pins and needles.
Kang Caien, a Lite from Chang'an, did their ideological work on behalf of Wei Xi:
"I have been in contact with the horse master for so many years, and I know his personality best, he says one is one, two is two, and he does what he says."
"He is not greedy, he is temperate! And he also likes everyone to get rich together, over the years, the generals who followed him have all been promoted and made fortunes, and we businessmen have also been taken care of by him, and we have all made a lot of money! ”
He counted the merchants with Wei Xi one by one, and almost all of them became big businessmen.
Then Kang Caien's face changed and said: "On the way to the west, if you follow him, you will prosper, and those who oppose him will die, if you continue to resist, you will definitely burn the jade!" ”
"The so-called is not cooked or born, we don't believe in them at all, they are too greedy, and lawless, and the horses are not greedy, and they are willing to do things according to the rules of the game, reasoning according to the legal system."
"When you return to obedience, the original people will become Datang...... Great Zhou National. Conzein said smoothly, almost saying the wrong thing, but he corrected it quickly, and the Lits didn't notice.
"The countries have become the existence of the Great Zhouzhou County, and the monarch has been crowned as the prince of the country, and the next generation has been reduced, but when it comes to the viscount, it is no longer reduced.
The big cannibal asked for Kangguo's protection fee of 3 million guan, and the Great Zhou was not much, each country paid 3 million guan as the troop fee of the Great Zhou army, and Kangguo was 5 million guan! ”
The envoy of Kang Guo said unconvincedly: "Why do we want to give two million more? ”
Kang Caien sneered and said, "The Great Zhou army has fought your city, and there are losses, don't you need to compensate more than two million?" ”
The envoys of Kang were silent, and the other countries wanted to bargain, Kang Caien said undoubtedly: "No two prices, you go back with the information, don't wait for the arrival of the Great Zhou army, then there is no need to talk!" ”
He warned: "Don't think that the big cannibal can help you anything, the general will soon be against the big food soldiers, he will definitely solve you first, his patience is limited!" ”
……
The next day, the envoys dispersed and returned home to report.
After receiving the news, the rulers of the countries spent a sleepless night.
Zhou Guoshi is here.
Nearly a year of siege has left the nations in agony and their self-confidence shrinking.
In case the consequences of the failure of resistance will make life unbearable.
The Great Zhou army was under the city of Kangguo, and the troops gathered in large numbers, setting up more than 300 catapults, and tens of thousands of troops arrayed, causing the black clouds to destroy the top!
Don't say that the people of Kangguo are silent, and even the 8,000 people of the Great Food Army stationed in the capital of Kangguo are silent!
These big cannibals are not the Arabs (the most noble) or even the Persians, Shyans, Egyptians, etc., who are close to Arabia, but the tribes recruited by Khorasan to assist in the defense of the Kangguo capital.
As a result, both the Kang people and the Great Cannibals surrendered, or surrendered.
The banner of the Tang Dynasty fluttered above the capital of Kangguo, and after paying five million pieces of goods, the Kang royal family left a little prince to guard the land of their ancestors, and the rest of the people embarked on the way to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If you don't surrender, you will die, even the largest Kang Guo has succumbed, and the rest of the Bi Kingdom, An Guo, Mi Guo, etc., have opened their city gates to the Great Zhou army!
At this point, except for a Huoxun country on the Amu Darya River that did not return to submission due to the near eclipse, the rest of the countries were submitted, and the Zhaowu land between the Amu Darya River and the Syr Darya River was officially included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which was in July of the second year of Wu Zhou Tianzhu (691 AD).
