Just when the work was going according to plan, the negotiation envoy of the Kaman people also came to Taixuanfu City, and the resettlement of the tens of thousands of people who were expelled from the Jiayuguan fortress had already cost most of the funds of Taixuanfu, and now the question of prisoners of war made Qin Duan also feel very embarrassed, if he really wanted to redeem these more than 50,000 prisoners of war, the funds required were also astronomical, and at the moment Qin Duan did not have such a large amount of money in his hands.

But the benefits of redeeming this batch of prisoners of war are also quite large, first of all, more than 30,000 of these prisoners of war are the elite soldiers of the original Taixuanfu First and Third Garrison Divisions, and their combat effectiveness is far stronger than these garrison units that have just been formed, and they are not captured because of defeat, but because of internal betrayal, so as long as they are slightly reorganized and arouse their fighting spirit, they can become a wolf and tiger division, which is undoubtedly a big help for Qin Du, who is in urgent need of increasing military strength.

Therefore, after the arrival of the Kamandian envoy, Qin Dubian decided to bring this group of soldiers into his control no matter what method he adopted. As for the specific funding required, Qin Duan didn't want to worry too much, so he left it to Liang Qiming and Su Qin to figure out their own way, of course, it would be best if they could scrape a little bit from the imperial court, but Qin Duan didn't have much hope.

What should we do? "Whose fault? The loss of Jiayuguan was unacceptable to almost all the people of the empire, from the common people to the nobles and gentry, from the rich businessmen to the urban poor, there was an uproar in the countryside, and all the public places in the teahouse and hotel were talking about this matter, and almost all the spearheads were pointed at the military department, which was extremely responsible for this matter.

Moreover, well-informed people revealed through various channels that the traitor was actually a person sponsored by a royal nobleman, and the news media, which had always been open, pursued it relentlessly, digging into the bottom of the matter. Soon the news that the traitor had a close relationship with a certain prince spread very loudly, and for a time there was a storm in the imperial capital, and the undercurrent was surging.

After receiving the news of the fall of Jiayuguan, the Emperor Tianqi immediately stopped his vacation, set off for the west overnight, and convened an emergency state council on his boat. The meeting made urgent arrangements for the immediate urgency of the situation. Under the advice of the Cabinet Minister Ye Xiang Gao and the Minister of the Interior Gao Panlong, the Imperial Council of State issued several urgent orders.

First of all, the 2nd Division of the City Guard Corps stationed in the imperial capital was ordered to immediately move westward to stabilize the situation in the Duchy of Dìng Gerok and Beiyuan County, and prevent the chain reaction caused by the fall of Jiayuguan from affecting the battle situation in Gerok. At the same time, the other three divisions of the City Guard Corps stationed in Wuhu were ordered to immediately return to the imperial capital, and the defense was handed over to the other local garrisons. In addition, the 3rd, 4th, and 5rd divisions of the Fourth Army Corps also began to return to their original positions in Kansai County one after another to ensure the stability of the Kansai form.

At the same time, the meeting also decided that the Imperial Foreign Affairs Office could conditionally accept the peace talks of the Mache Khans, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the pressure on the garrison of Wuhu County.

"Gao Aiqing, is the situation you said really so strict?"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face was full of exhaustion, and the news of the fall of Jiayuguan had filled his heart with frustration and resentment. And the news brought by Gao Panlong made him feel like pins and needles.

Looking at the suspicious eyes of the emperor's majesty, Gao Panlong also sighed secretly in his heart, even now, he has spent a lot of effort and still has not been able to fully understand the depth of this Taiping Sect, but time has not allowed him to drag it out any longer, the growing strength of the other party and the large-scale invasion of the Kaman people make him feel frightened every day, and he is afraid that when he wakes up, he will already be against the flag.

In the end, after getting the information about the loss of Jiayuguan, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He had to report this strict situation to His Majesty the Emperor, even if he made a move in advance, he would startle the snake or trigger the other party's preemptive strike.

Such a blow to the head made the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was already in a bad mood, even more unacceptable. His suspicious gaze sent chills down the table to several important ministers present.

"Your Majesty, Wechen has already possessed capable subordinates to obtain this information after a detailed investigation, and Wechen dares to guarantee the authenticity of this information with his life, but this Taiping Sect is very deeply hidden, and the organization is also very tight, and the people under Wechen have never been able to penetrate its high-level. It is difficult to obtain its most core and confidential information. ”

However, according to the information available, several northern countries, including the Kamans, have ulterior ties with them, and Wechen suspects that the northern countries may even be helping the Taiping people secretly train military forces. Except for the population of the northwest, which is incalculable in the northwest, immigrants from all over the country in the past few years, the other counties should have infiltrated the Taiping Sect. ”

Gao Panlong had already put aside a qiē at this time, if it could not arouse the great attention of the emperor at this time. I'm afraid that the empire will really fall into a point where it is out of control

The pale forehead was bruised, and the deep eyes on the somewhat distorted and deformed face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse flashed with the light of choosing people to devour, "Then in your opinion, it has reached the point of being out of control now?" There was no more politeness in the tone of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that although the situation in the east and south is also strict, it can be relieved, but the three counties of Beiyuan, Yanyun and Guanxi are indeed quite critical, and if they don't make a decision, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster." Gao Panlong was not intimidated by the look of His Majesty the Emperor, and he calmly stated his opinion.

"So what do you think should be done now?" Exhaling heavily, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's face was still gloomy and watery.

Wechen thought that he could take the opportunity of the return of the three divisions of the Fourth Army to Kansai, starting from several prefectures around the imperial capital, and gradually pushing them to the prefectures, issuing a proclamation declaring the Taiping Sect an illegal reactionary group, intensifying propaganda, and restricting the Taiping Sect disciples to the government at the specified time to make a statement of repentance. Guarantee not to participate in any activities in the future, and those who report and expose others will be rewarded. ”

"For its backbone disciples, we must resolutely eradicate them, kill one by one, and those who are stubborn and stubborn will sit down again and again to exterminate their nine clans. As for the operation, both the Didong Factory and the Jinyi Guard will send special operations departments to the prefectures to supervise and guide them in detail, but the premise is that there must be an army as a backing, and if there is a resistance, the army can be used to kill them in one fell swoop. ”

Gao Panlong took out his plan, and there was a trace of blood in his eyes under his thick eyebrows, and even the other ministers sitting next to him felt the bursts of killing intent revealed in the middle. (To be continued......)
