Chapter 225: All the People Rejoice

On the throne, Zhao Lin's face was unwavering, and he had expected it.

However, the civil and military officials were boiling.

"What? 2.5 million foreign armies were wiped out?"

"Even those three barbarian kings have been captured?"

“......”

The Jinluan Palace suddenly exploded.

All the officials' eyes widened in disbelief.

During this time, they all spent their days in fear.

That's 2.5 million foreign troops!

Once the Yumen Pass is broken and enters the hinterland of the Central Plains, the entire Great Song Dynasty will be devastated.

Many of them have even made up their minds to join the pen.

If the front line is tight, they are willing to carry guns and horses, kill the front line, and fight to the death with foreign armies.

Even if it's death!

Nor can they be conquered by alien civilizations.

However......

Just when they had prepared for the worst in their hearts, the military department Shangshu told them that the war was over?

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all have a feeling like a dream.

That's ridiculous!

How could an army of 2.5 million foreign nations be defeated in just a few days?

"Lord Shangshu, have you confirmed the authenticity of this news?"

Some of the ministers asked, skeptical.

They wondered if someone at the front had lied about the military situation.

"It's true!"

The secretary of the military department had already guessed that there would be ministers who were not careful, and he still said with a smile: "That is the good news sent back by the two generals, Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, Xiang Yu and Dian Wei, how can it be fake?"

"In this victory at Yumen Pass, our army's total losses are less than 20,000, and compared with it, the casualties of the foreign army are more than one million, and the number of prisoners is as many as more than 800,000!"

More than a million casualties?

More than 800,000 captured?

In the Jinluan Palace, many ministers couldn't help but gasp after hearing that the military department Shangshu said the results of the battle.

Their hearts are like turning over the river and the sea, and they can't calm down for a long time.

This kind of victory will surely go down in history.

Always remembered.

"Quiet. ”

Just when the Manchu Dynasty was full of civil and military discussions, and was extremely excited.

A majestic voice came from above the Golden Luan Palace.

The discussion of the ministers came to an abrupt end, and under the pressure of the emperor, it quickly subsided.

After quieting down in the court, the secretary of the military department bowed his hand to Zhao Lin again and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhuge said in the good news that this time he returned to Beijing, he would bring back 800,000 foreign prisoners of war, and asked His Majesty to make a decision on the disposal. ”

When the ministers heard this, they all looked dazed.

That's 800,000 foreign prisoners of war.

It's a difficult problem to deal with.

The easiest way is to kill it!

The eyes of many officials flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

Coupled with the previous rebellion of Yu Wenyong and the old army of Agni, it fueled the killing intent in their hearts for these foreign troops.

Even the fire troops are wolves that can't be fed, let alone these foreign troops?

"What is Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's opinion?"

Zhao Lin asked indifferently.

"The prime minister's meaning is not to kill for the time being, to keep his useful body, and to serve my Great Song Dynasty. ”

The military department is still the book.

Zhao Lin nodded.

Zhuge Liang thought of going with him.

It's not that they have compassion.

It's the 800,000 available workforce.

It's a shame to kill.

You must know that in the ancient era of extremely low productivity, manpower was the most valuable resource of the entire era.

Otherwise, in Zhao Lin's memory, there would not be so many countries that sold black slaves.

"Spread my will, scatter 800,000 prisoners of war to Lingnan and southwest regions, and develop the endless territory of our Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Lin's voice spread throughout the entire Jinluan Palace.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers bowed in unison.

Lingnan and southwest are sparsely populated mountainous areas.

His Majesty sent prisoners of war to these places.

The intent is clear.

It is to let these foreign soldiers go to open up the wasteland.

In this way, it is indeed possible to turn waste into treasure and transform these useless prisoners of war into useful labor for the Great Song Dynasty!

However, they never imagined that Zhao Lin had a more long-term idea.

The future world envisioned by Zhao Lin will be a new era led by steam, or even more advanced power.

All parties will require a lot of manpower.

Zhao Lin is just taking precautions now.

......

Persian Empire.

Mingjiao General Altar.

In the center of the main altar, a raging fire burns, and the figures are seated around the flames, with a mysterious and powerful aura.

At this time, on the main seat, a man in black with long curly hair opened his eyes, looked at the Mingjiao people below, and said: "The defeat of the Persian Empire has little to do with my Mingjiao, but Her Majesty the Queen was arrested, and my Mingjiao can no longer stand idly by. ”

Hearing this, the men sitting beside the sacred fire nodded one after another, "Her Majesty is the sect leader of my Ming Sect, and she must not fall into the hands of those people of the Middle Earth Alien Race. ”

"Yes, no matter what the cost, you have to save the sect master. ”

The leader of the Ming Sect has always been regarded by the congregation as a symbol of sacrosanctity.

But now, it has been taken captive by people of different races.

Since the establishment of the Persian Ming Religion, there has never been such a great change.

I have endured such humiliation.

In their opinion, they can't wait a moment longer.

Whatever the means, the Queen of Persia must be brought back to Persia!

"The Great Sage Treasure Tree King, the Evil Treasure Tree King. ”

The curly-haired man on the main seat looked at the shadows beside the flame.

As soon as his words fell, two tall figures stood up from the side of the flame and arched their hands towards the curly-haired man, "Holy King, please command." ”

The Great Saint Treasure Tree King and the Evil Suppression Treasure Tree King both looked very solemn.

The curly-haired man on the throne in front of him was the holy king of their Persian religion.

The status of the Holy King is on par with the Sect Master on the surface.

But in fact, it has a greater say.

Because the strength of the Holy King is often the strongest in the entire Ming Sect.

Therefore, even the two elders of the Ming Sect, the Great Saint Treasure Tree King and the Evil Suppression Treasure Tree King, were groveling and obedient in front of this Saint King.

"Order the two of you to go to Middle-earth immediately and find a way to rescue the sect leader back!"

There was a hint of undoubtedness in the voice of the Holy King of the Ming Sect.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the two Treasure Tree Kings immediately turned around and disappeared into the altar.

Looking at the backs of the two treasure tree kings leaving.

The eyes of the Holy King of the Ming Sect suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light.

These two Treasure Tree Kings both have the cultivation of the Five Rank Great Masters!

With the strength of the two of them, it should be more than enough to rescue the Persian queen.

......

The Imperial Palace of the Great Song Dynasty.

Daqing Palace.

Zhao Lin sat on the throne of the dragon chair, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest, and fell into deep thought.

In the battle of Yumen Pass, the armies of the three Persian kingdoms were defeated, and even the king was charmed by the Great Song Dynasty.

This unprecedented brilliant record has made the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty boiling.

All the people rejoice.

His reputation as an emperor has also risen dramatically, and has been raised to an unprecedented terrifying situation.

However, only Zhao Lin himself knew that at this moment, the Great Song Dynasty was facing a difficult problem.

That is, after defeating those 2.5 million foreign armies, how to expand the results of the war?

It stands to reason that the Great Song Dynasty won a complete victory this time, and the next move was to take the opportunity to launch a westward expedition to include the three major empires of Persia, Dashi and Tianzhu, as well as their affiliated small countries, into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

But this is only an assumption after all.

It's hard to implement.
