Chapter 31: The Mean and Ungrateful Emperor
readx;
What Xiaoxi is planning, although Buchen has exhausted all kinds of means, he still can't figure it out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Early the next morning, Xiao Miao, who had been tossed all morning, said goodbye to Buchen, saying that he was going to help Xiaoxi find someone.
It's hard to understand this girl's inexplicable warm-heartedness, after all, this girl was still playing with Xiaoxi yesterday! But Buchen didn't mean to stop him, Xiao Miao was going to help Xiao Xi after all, and Bu Chen firmly believed that Xiao Xi would not do anything sorry for himself.
Time passed quickly, a day and a half later, Buchen received reports of reinforcements from all walks of life, and unexpectedly, the reinforcements from the three provinces were annihilated, and the imperial army won a complete victory!
Buchen carefully read the battle report and found that these three battles were different from the previous battles, because of the participation of infantry divisions, the cavalry divisions had to continue to stay on their horses and do their own cavalry jobs, and the work of fighting in formation was taken by the infantry divisions.
As a result of this change, the cavalry division no longer had any impressive performances, except for the great pursuit after the defeat of the enemy, almost all the results were covered by the infantry division, so if you only look at the first half of the battle report, it may be difficult to even detect the existence of the cavalry division......
There is no doubt that the reason for this result is definitely not the voluntary of the cavalry division, there is no doubt that they were all bullied by the infantry division with a large number of people.
However, it is not good to reprimand the infantry division, the first half of the Northwest Campaign was taken away by the cavalry division, and the cavalry rushed thousands of miles to besiege the city to block Wang Gang's sideburns, and to block Wang Gang's sideburns to break through, and the credit was great, and the infantry division had almost no achievements except for burying its head in the road. If you don't let the infantry divisions make some contributions, won't people run this trip in vain?
Therefore, for the cavalry division being bullied this time, Buchen can only give the cavalry division more rewards on the basis of not punishing the infantry division, and the name he concocted is very good--special wartime subsidies.
I don't know if the cavalry division is satisfied or not, but Buchen is not very worried about the cavalry making trouble, and the military judges and political commissars in his army are not dry meals, how can such a little dissatisfaction not be settled?
After briefly dealing with the aftermath of the reinforcement war, Buchen did not stay in Zhaoliang City anymore, but left the Third Infantry Division of the Army to stay in Zhaoliang, and he rushed to Hexi Province at full speed with three divisions of infantry and one division of cavalry.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the army of Buchen came to the outside of Puzhou, the capital of Hexi Province, half a month later.
This time, because the infantry and cavalry were rushing together, the speed was not too fast, so there was no suddenness at all, and the ape king Yuan Mudong got the news early in the morning, but this one looked calm, and did not abandon the city and flee at all, but swaggered high in Puzhou City, waiting for the arrival of Buchen.
Buchen knew Yuan Mudong's plans, so after coming to the city, he didn't put on a siege posture, but just sent a messenger into the city to see Yuan Mudong.
Yuan Mudong did not dare to slack off, and received the envoy very warmly, and put forward the conditions of surrender to the minister more vaguely.
Yuan Mudong's conditions are not many, just three, first, to ensure the safety of their ape clan and not to kill recklessly; second, to ensure his glory and wealth of Yuan Mudong, at least have a noble title; Third, allow the ape clan to stay in the hinterland of the Eastern Continent and not drive them back to the northern forests.
When the messenger returned, he informed the ministers of these conditions.
Buchen didn't dare to be arbitrary, so he called his own dog-headed military advisor Qu Zhixiong, and the two discussed.
"Your Majesty, speaking of conscience, Yuan Mudong did not ask for a sky-high price, his requirements are already very low, and it is difficult to be lower!" Qu Zhixiong said seriously.
Buchen nodded slightly, he could see this, in fact, it was normal for Yuan Mudong to put the standard so low at this time, at this time, not only the northwest defense line of the beast capture puppet dynasty had completely collapsed, but Buchen's army also reached the city of Puzhou, Yuan Mudong could not even guarantee his own life, how could he still ask for an unrealistic sky-high price?
"Qu Qing, do you mean to ask me to agree?" Buchen asked tentatively.
Qu Zhixiong nodded hurriedly, he was afraid that he would make another mistake if he didn't surrender, and said something like he didn't care if Yuan Mu Dongtou didn't surrender, although Buchen did have the capital to not care, but he didn't care so much, there would definitely be a lot of twists and turns in pacifying the world, which was not a good thing in the eyes of Qu Zhixiong, who had become a country......
"Your Majesty, it's acceptable not to kill the ape clan, as far as I know, the eight beast tribes in the north slaughtered the people in the process of going south, and they also used people as military rations, but only the ape tribe never ate people, only plundered rice and flour for food, and rarely attacked the people, and the blood debt on their bodies was the least."
Buchen frowned, he had also heard about what the ape clan had done, so he was not worried that Qu Zhixiong would lie and deceive him.
"The Ministry of Intelligence said that all this was restrained by Yuan Mudong."
"That's true, Yuan Mudong is a rare smart person in the beast clan, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is scheming, maybe he has expected this day a long time ago." Qu Zhixiong said with a smile.
"This old orangutan is really cunning enough!" Buchen smiled bitterly and said, "But you can't agree so simply, the ape clan has committed a lot of sins since they went south, and they can't be forgiven so simply." In this way, let all the apes hand over all their current possessions, and their whole clan will go to various mines to serve twenty years of labor without compensation, and if Yuan Mu Dongken agrees, I will pardon all the ape clans for their capital crimes. ”
The corners of Qu Zhixiong's mouth twitched, and he secretly sighed in his heart that his emperor was really a mean guy who couldn't rub sand in his eyes......
"The whole family? Is Yuan Mudong also included? ”
Buchen thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "For the sake of Yuan Mudong's strong restraint before, and now he is still sincere and meritorious, he doesn't have to go to hard labor, as for preserving his glory and wealth, don't ask him to hand over all his property, just hand over three-quarters, presumably the rest is enough for him to eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime!" In addition, the title is to give him the lowest viscount. ”
Qu Zhixiong was speechless, and it took a long time before he continued to ask: "...... What about the entire ape clan staying in the hinterland of the Eastern Continent? ”
"This can be promised, the ape clan is a close relative of human beings, and my Chinese can't even tolerate the panda clan, how can I not tolerate my close relatives?" Buchen finally had a good time.
Qu Zhixiong breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Buchen would have to put forward some harsh conditions on this issue, and even if Yuan Mudong wanted to return to obedience, he would not be able to do it......
"Your Majesty, do you think Yuan Mudong can agree to your revisions?" Qu Zhixiong asked not very confidently.
Buchen laughed: "I will let him agree." ”
"What is the emperor going to do?"
"Keep it a secret for now, and you'll find out then." Buchen said with an unfathomable smile.
In fact, Qu Zhixiong knew what Buchen was going to do that afternoon, and His Majesty the arrogant emperor handed over the head of the fox king Bai Keqiu and the tiger skin on the tiger Khan king's steel sideburns to the messenger, and asked him to bring them into the city to show Yuan Mudong, of course, those revisions should also be known to Yuan Mudong.
Yuan Mudong listened to the envoy's relays of Buchen's revision of the terms of surrender, and looked at the head of Bai Keqiu, which had been salted in a wooden box, and the tiger skin that still had a lot of blood stains and was like a hornet's nest, and he was so angry that his hands trembled!
"Xiao thief is not a minister, you deceive people too much, deceive people too much!"
"So, Chief Yuan, do you accept it?" The messenger asked in an unkind tone.
"Which ear do you have to listen to me and don't accept it?!" Yuan Mudong glared at the envoy angrily.
"So you're accepting it?" The messenger was not angry, but asked with a sneer.
"I ......" Yuan Mudong opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't give any affirmative or negative answer, and finally had to say, "I have to think about it again." ”
"Are you trying to convince your people?" The messenger asked.
Yuan Mudong gritted his teeth: "There are not only our ape clans in this Puzhou city, but also many soldiers of other beast clans, if our clan offers Puzhou, we must remove all these beast clans, but this means huge risks and casualties, according to the original conditions, I can still persuade the clansmen to obey, and your emperor is so mean, how can you let my clan accept it?" ”
The envoy shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Yuan Mudong with some sympathy, and then insisted on Bai Keqiu's head and Wang Gang's sideburns: "Your Excellency, Chief, maybe you can try these two things." ”
Although Yuan Mudong has never eaten people, he has a plan to find a cauldron at this time and throw the messenger in front of him into it to stew......
