Chapter 889: Prestige

Not surprisingly, the good news was transmitted back to Daxing, and Wenyang won a complete victory.

210,000 people from the grassland tribes were captured, more than 400,000 cattle, horses, and alpacas were captured, and 375 people from the tribes were captured.

Great Qin's great martial arts were promoted in the grassland.

Wenyang continued to chase the north of the country, and 7,000 iron horsemen crossed the Jinshan Mountain and entered the Western Regions, releasing a bold statement: Dare to contain one person and destroy the country!

The east and west of Jinshan and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains were greatly shaken.

No one dared to take in Bo Keluo, Wen Yang drove straight in, chased and killed three thousand miles, and killed the rest of the people in Yanqi, and then spread the head of the Western Regions.

The last stubbornness of the nations could no longer be maintained.

As long as Wen Yang is willing, he can unite with the Qin armies of Gaochang and Xia to level the entire Western Regions in one fell swoop.

Having the strength to destroy the country without destroying the country is called benevolence.

Knives speak louder than words.

Saying 10,000 words with a hard heart is not as shocking as lifting a knife.

The 20,000 Qin army broke through the 400,000 coalition army, and the shock was incomparable, knowing that at this time, the lords of the Western Regions knew how merciful the Great Qin Emperor was to them.

When the Xiongnu and the Han rose hundreds of years ago, they were not so mild.

When Fu Jiezi went to the Western Regions, he didn't agree with a word, and directly cut down the king of Loulan at the banquet, and then put the king's son on the throne, pointing to his son's face and saying: The Han soldiers are here, and the mother dares to move, move, and destroy the country!

When it was over, he sent people's heads back to Chang'an, and the entire Loulan Kingdom didn't dare to let go of a fart......

As for Ban Chao and Zhang Qian, they are also ruthless people, dozens of people are on other people's turf, riding on people's heads to kill people and set fires......

From the perspective of the people of the Western Regions, the Han people are murderous.

The first person who was ambitious to eat Hulu meat and laugh and drink the blood of the Huns was also the Han general Geng Gong.

Compared to them, Daqin was relatively mild.

He kept the door open to talk to them, as if a benevolent father was being kind to his disobedient sons, and did not slap the table and draw a knife.

Wenyang's battle undoubtedly revealed a truth, your father is still your father......

The countries of the Western Regions have been infiltrated by the Xuanyi Division for so many years, the dignitaries and nobles have long been Chinese, and the common people also yearn for Great Qin, and public opinion, national system, and system are all following the example of Great Qin.

The most radical was Khotan, whose lord called himself Xiao Huaxia, and took the lead in changing the Han surname and taking the Han name, and the geography of the cities in the country all used Chinese characters.

Wenyang spread the first countries, Khotan was the most excited, the first to jump out and shout, who dared not listen to Daqin's orders, Khotan hit it together!

The Xia State controlled the northwest of the Tianshan Mountains, Gaochang controlled the eastern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, and Khotan was located in the south of the Tianshan Mountains.

If any country does not heed the order, it will find itself in a situation of being attacked from three sides.

In such a harmonious and friendly environment, the countries of the Western Regions happily rallied closely around the Great Qin Empire and obediently sacrificed their military power.

Let this ancient land return to the embrace of China.

The Great Qin court also took the opportunity to send consolation envoys to stay in the Western Regions to "assist" them in governing the country.

Shule and Yanqi voluntarily captured three cities for the Great Qin garrison.

All the checkpoints on the trade route in the Western Regions were guarded by the Qin army.

Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism were popular in the Western Regions.

Although Buddhism is not a native of Daqin, after blending with the Chinese civilization, it has become a new carrier of the Chinese civilization, radiating new vitality and becoming popular in the plateau and grassland.

The prosperity of Buddhism also made Huaxia's attention gradually turn to Tianzhu.

Tianzhu monks can come to the Central Plains thousands of miles away, and the Central Plains can also travel thousands of miles to Tianzhu.

The first action is naturally business travel, Tianzhu's spices are more expensive than gold in Daqin, and there are naturally people who take risks if they have interests......

Daxing City.

Yang Zheng was very pleased, like a kind old father, watching his rebellious sons obediently bow their heads in front of him.

The victories have already numbed the Baixin people in Daxing City.

Every time there is a big victory, Daxing's popularity increases by a few points, and the wealthy merchants of the Western Regions drag their families to buy mansions in Daxing.

It once raised the price of mansions in the Guanzhong area.

However, this also shows the prosperity of Daqin's economy.

The copper coins, silver coins, and money issued by Daqin became the main currency on the trade route, and Daxing, Guzang, Dunhuang, Gaochang, Xiaye, and Shule all had Daqin's money villages.

Merchants no longer need to transport gold and silver from Daxing to the Western Regions, or from the Western Regions to Daxing, and can exchange gold and silver of equivalent value at any money house with a silver ticket.

Each silver ticket is made of bamboo paper in Shuzhong with complex craftsmanship and exquisite shape, and is stamped with five large seals, which are Yang Zheng's Son of Heaven Treasure Seal, Shangshu Province, Shizhong Temple, Zhongshu Province's government decree seal, as well as the ticket seal of the issuing money village.

Counterfeiting is extremely difficult.

Once caught, it is a felony to destroy the door.

Before the onset of winter, prisoners of war and livestock were escorted to Daxing one after another.

The people went to watch, and there were crowds.

With the replenishment of this batch of cattle and sheep, the dependence of the affected areas of Liangzhou on grain can be reduced.

In fact, there is also a process of drought, which broke out in Beidi County this year, Wuwei County next year, and then transferred to Anding County the year after.

It is always man-made that is more terrible than natural disasters.

Historically, within a few years of the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty, it is said that a drought of this magnitude should be easily controlled.

However, the decay of the Sima family and the Shi clan has made the contradictions in the northwest region unprecedentedly acute.

This cannot happen in Daqin.

Liangzhou is the land of Longxing in Daqin, and Yang Zheng's attention to this area far exceeds that of other regions.

The appointed officials are all talented, and Yang Huan, the assassin of Liangzhou, is even more famous for governing the people in Tuntian.

Under his appeasement, Liangzhou was calm.

In the second year of Taixing, the drought-stricken area spread from the north to Longyou, and the number of displaced people gradually increased, but the imperial court had already prepared, and the grain in Shu was sent to Longyou from Chencang through Weishui countercurrent.

The drought was more of a test for the nascent empire.

Yang Zheng held grain in one hand and a knife in the other, and 50,000 iron horsemen waited in Daxing to prevent some tribes from taking advantage of natural disasters to cause chaos.

However, this is obviously redundant.

Wenyang's victory has a great deterrent effect externally, and it has also enhanced cohesion internally.

And the prestige of a founding emperor, no one dares to challenge.

If the huge Central Plains Empire can't even deal with a local drought, you can see how far its garbage has become.

Although the drought was still expanding, accompanied by the locust plague, it did not shake the foundation of Great Qin's rule.

"There are 130,000 victims in Longyou and Hexi, 40,000 victims in Hetao, and the grassland is also quite seriously affected, and in a few months, 20,000 accounts have gone south......

The pressure is getting stronger, and there are a few more wrinkles on Lu Zhi's face.

"Is there enough food in Daxing?"

"Hedong, Nanyang, Hanzhong, and Luoyang have had bumper harvests for two consecutive years, and there is more than enough food, but the drought has signs of spreading to Guanzhong."

"As long as the food is enough, my uncle doesn't need to worry too much, I am going to work for relief, open a canal, dig a canal from Daxing to Tongguan, and lead the water of the Yellow River into the pass." Yang Zheng plans to get it a few years later.

But now the drought has not stopped, and hundreds of thousands of people have nothing to do, so maybe something will happen.

The benefits of the Guangtong Canal are self-evident, and it further strengthens the connection between Daxing and Kanto.
