Chapter 0528. Ransom

Counterinsurgency seems to be on the verge of success. {This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

Every day, more and more of the captives of Shalou joined the construction team, and the rammed earth wall, which was originally only three meters high, was increased to nine meters, and all the trenches were dug through the perimeter, forming a huge ditch ten meters wide and four meters deep, which enveloped the city of Qunu like an iron wall.

However, the iron wall seems to be deliberate, always leaving gaps in some terrain concave and convex, the height of the wall drops to two meters with the undulating mound, and the trench is also much shallower.

In the construction for more than ten consecutive days, people of all ethnic groups who come and go near the construction site can always see their King Min with a Byzantine woman busy going up and down, I don't know when, a rumor gradually spread, the King of Min is going to form an alliance with Byzantium, and the woman is Byzantine to come and kiss.

After all, at the beginning of the war, there was still a big food country still entrenched around the Fujian country.

At the same time that the Fujian State was defending the last fortress of the rebels, Qunu City, on the other side, the foundation site of a new city also began to rise on the Ganges Plain.

After all, the original Qunu City is the capital left by the Tianzhu people, even if it has been repaired several times after the Fujian State moved in, it still has a strong Brahmanical atmosphere, and all kinds of gods and goddesses are everywhere, even if they are converted into shops, the temples of the official office still make people feel inconvenient, especially because they are too close to the Ganges.

The Ganges River is not as close to the Bahe River in Chang'an, every year in the rainy season, the river can soar more than twice as much, and the ice and snow melt from the Himalayas also flows down, and the city of Qunu was almost flooded last year.

This opportunity is now just satisfied, the Tang army under Qunu City captured more than 100,000 people, and captured about 200,000 in the battle of the South Plain of Xiliu City, except for the last time to the meritorious soldiers as serfs, there are still more than 200,000, this group of labor force that is rarely exploited and does not have to worry about rebellion can not be more convenient.

The design of the new capital of Fujian is actually for the second generation of masters, the construction of Chang'an City, the former Sui Ministry of Industry in Luoyang, the eastern capital of Luoyang, the former Sui Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yu Wenkai's descendants Yuwen Xingzhen, the new capital city wall is located in the Panlong Plain fifteen miles away from the Qunu City, the scale of the new capital is so large, not waiting for repair, the leveling of the land has occupied tens of thousands of laborers, under the scorching sun shining down in the tropics, tens of thousands of Lou and its captives sweat like rain to contribute to the construction of Fujian.

A few days ago, they invaded Fujian, burned, killed and plundered the vast land, and made thousands of miles uninhabited, but now they have fallen into such a field, which can be regarded as a report and a report.

However, in the vicinity of the new capital that represents the prosperity of the peace, the clouds of war are still shrouded, ending several wars, and the heavy losses of several mansions and guards under the city of Qunu After the last 50,000 Xiao family, Wang family, and Guan Long family soldiers were dispersed to guard the frontier, the Min State still left 100,000 troops to besiege near the city of Qunu to arrange the next stage of the operation.

Under the simple conditions, even Li Jie himself lived in a makeshift wooden tent, and a huge square table in the slightly dim big tent was messily filled with maps, charcoal, and folds, even if it was a temporary small imperial court station, around such a humble place, more than 100 important ministers, but all the major events that determined the fate of millions of square kilometers and tens of millions of subjects were discussed.

"Your Highness, the envoy who contacted me has been sent out, Xiao Jushu personally led the team, and the traitor didn't dare to be rude, and he has already welcomed in."

"Returning to His Highness, Xindu Jianyu Wenxing really sent envoys to say that the labor force is still insufficient, and I hope that His Highness will agree to send nearby labor and rest to support."

"No, Your Highness, now is the end of summer ploughing, all states and counties are busy replanting, if you interrupt at this time, it is very likely that there will be a famine during the autumn harvest, and now the warehouses in Bangladesh have been five out of ten, and Fujian has spent tens of millions of dollars in order to help the victims, and it can't withstand the next chaos and toss."

The ministers of various ministries expressed their opinions one after another, and the quarrel was a mess, and in the end, Li Jie made the decision and stopped the quarrel.

"Okay, this matter will be discussed later, everything will be decided when Xiao Jushu comes back from Qunu City, and you will return to the ministries, abide by your posts, and be sure to put an end to all possibilities of chaos."

The king of Min has made a decision, and many ministers are not good to put more beaks, and after the most important thing is put aside, some details that do not hurt or itch are discussed, and this time the court meeting is over.

However, just as the ministers who had been arguing all morning were about to leave, the curtain door of the cold tent was slammed open, and a man wearing inky black fish scale armor? The young general rushed in with great rage, slapped the table and roared: "You want to make peace with those thieves? Are you crazy? Have you forgotten Yu'er's hatred? ”

Li Jie's prestige in the Fujian State, dare to be so with him, for a while, all the ministers were stunned, and after a while, the fierce-tempered Guanzhong veteran Dugu Zhen was the first to react, and shouted angrily: "Zhuzian dares to be rude, where are the guards?" Don't take it quickly! ”

"Your Highness dares to be rude in front of you, hurry up and apologize!"

"This person is too arrogant and presumptuous, comparable to Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty, His Royal Highness will be severely punished!"

The small court hall was like a frying pan, and a group of civil and military officers were heartbroken and quoted scriptures, and several of them came up to fight directly, but among the targets, Hou Jie always glared angrily at Li Jie, and Li Jie, who saw it, smiled bitterly, and hurriedly squeezed over before several generals pushed this kid to the ground.

"Hou Zhonglang will be tired and nervous in today's battle, and the occasional misqualification should be forgiven, so he will be fined for a month.

Stunned to see that the King of Min came out to accompany the smiling face, a group of ministers had to disperse in a daze, but while leaving Dugu and damaging these veterans, the old family was still angry and cursed Hou Jie, and sent away a large number of generals, looking at Hou Jie, who was always glaring at him, Li Jie spread his hands in distress.

"No difficulty, Yu'er's revenge has not forgotten, revenge will definitely be revenged, but now, there are still 200,000 to 300,000 innocent people like Yu'er trapped in the city, Lone, as the king of Fujian, can't watch them die, right? I believe that Lonely, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later! ”

It is not difficult for Hou Xianniang to obtain the table for Hou Jie, Li Jie really explained to him with a heartfelt voice, but unfortunately, this red-eyed kid still did not appreciate it.

"It's still Wang Tu's hegemony in your heart more important than anything else!"

Dropped a sentence coldly, Hou Jie shook his head and walked out of the gate, and the angry Li Jie once again stretched out his hand and shouted: "No difficulty, Hou Jie, you stand alone!" Listen to me! ”

The door curtain was thrown down, Li Jie's face turned blue, and he slammed his fist on the table, from the inner room behind the tent, Wu Meiniang turned out with a frown, stared at the shaking door curtain twice, and then walked to Li Jie's side.

"Lang Jun, why didn't you tell him your plans?"

"Forget it, it's strange that this kid can listen to it." Shaking his head boringly, Li Jie flicked his sleeves and walked to the inner room by himself, hesitated, and Wu Meiniang followed quickly.

"Lang Jun, Hou Jie should be taken down from this position by the Janissary Lang?"

"Oh? Why? Li Jie turned his head in some surprise, bit his lip and hesitated again, Wu Meiniang pulled down the curtain of the inner room, and then hugged Li Jie and whispered: "Since Yu'er's accident, Hou Jie has become more and more irrational, even he hates me, and he hates you, after all, Hou Jie's family has had a traitor like Hou Junji, Hou Jie is still so unruly, if he blindly compromises and spoils him, it is difficult to guarantee that sooner or later he will not follow the old path of Hou Junji." ”

was really stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, Li Jie shook it again: "Hou Jie can't, he is different from Hou Junji, and there is a line girl holding him back, Mei Niang, you are too worried about this matter." ”

"Your Highness, Miss Anna of Byzantium, please!"

This kung fu, just as the sharp voice of Sbratita at the door sounded again, and after tidying up his clothes to dispel the gloomy mood just now, Li Jie patted Wu Meiniang's shoulder and said with a relaxed smile: "I am tired of my good Meiniang, continue to stare at those big fish, and go out for public relations for my husband." ”

"Let's die." Looking at Li Jie's playful appearance, Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes coquettishly.

Seeing Li Jie also go out, the smile on Wu Meiniang's face retracted again, she subconsciously tightened her fists, turned her head and looked, King Min Yinxin was placed in the inner room study upright......

On the other hand, in the city of Qunu, in the palace of the former household Cao Jushu Palava, a large group of Brahmin heads, Han traitors, and Kshatriya Monsata nobles were all crowded together.

"Lord Padua, what is the purpose of the envoys of the Fujian Kingdom coming to Qunu City? Surrender? Can the king of Min promise to forgive me? A Monsata asked impatiently, but Zheng Lun, who had half of his face left, trembled, hurriedly left his seat, and hurriedly shouted: "You can't." ”

"Don't forget, we broke through Li Jie'er's palace, forced his princess to kill, killed his daughter, Li Jie is narrow-minded and will be revenged, even if it is expedient to win and forgive you, you will definitely assassinate in the future, you have to think clearly!"

Zheng Lun is not excited, if he hadn't been entangled in the Han rebellion, the losses would definitely not have been so heavy, and no one in the Min Kingdom would spare him, he wanted it, and others also wanted it, Zheng Lun had just finished shouting, and the Brahmin elders on the side had already sneered and mocked: "Tang Gou, are you afraid that your head will not be protected." ”

"I, Zheng Lun, am loyal to your Han Kingdom, and the sun and the moon learn from each other, but you keep saying that you will revive the status of Brahmins in the world, and you will retreat back at the slightest difficulty, what are you?"

"Enough!"

Slammed the table, the irritable Pallava slapped the table heavily and roared: "The Min State is not here to surrender, but to negotiate and ransom people, and the Min State wants to redeem all the Tang people, Tubo people, Turks and Persians in the city, at the cost of them capturing our 5,000 Kshatriya warriors and 70,000 soldiers!" ”

Hearing what he said, everyone present was dumbfounded, this condition was too unexpected.
