Chapter 5 The north of the Qinghe River
With the help of these ministers, the efficiency has improved a lot, and various matters have gradually been put on the right track.
The people in the city had accepted the facts, and the policies of the Later Sui were better than those of the Meng State, and the taxes were lower, so these people naturally would not resist again.
After three days of busyness, everything has become orderly, Wang Kai and Murong Fuhai also rushed back today, and at the same time brought back good news.
"Your Majesty, all the four counties of Meng have been taken."
"Yes, you've worked hard, let's go back and rest first!"
"Yes!"
When the two left, he spread out the map of Qinghe County, and now he has occupied the north of Qinghe, with eight counties under his jurisdiction, and he can be regarded as having a firm foothold here.
Now there are two countries bordering him, namely Xinguo and Fengguo, both of which occupy the land of three counties and are not very strong.
He is not ready to move these two countries in a short time, and now that Meng has not fully digested it, it is really unwise to attack other countries.
In addition to these, he also had to consider the rewards of Wang Kai and Murong Fuhai, who were both heroes of this battle.
He now has to form two troops, one of 4,000 men, and it is just right to hand them over to two people to command, and it can also play a restraining role.
Both of them have relatively low official positions now, and this time they will be given a miscellaneous general of the sixth grade, which is the most suitable official position.
……
The next morning, the number of people in the court had increased a lot, and now there were more than thirty, and it didn't look so shabby.
"Murong covers the sea!"
"The minister is here!"
"This time, you have made meritorious contributions in battle, and you have beheaded the Emperor of Meng, and now you are named a rebellious general and lead an army alone."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Wang Kai! You have made great contributions to defending the city this time, plus commanding the counterattack, disrupting the enemy's position in one fell swoop, and now you are named the general of the Broken Prisoners, leading an army alone. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Wang Ling, you will divide the soldiers into them later."
"Yes!"
"Okay, do you guys have anything else?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something!"
"Speak!"
"Now that our country has taken the state of Meng, the new country and the state of Feng on the other side have specially sent envoys to congratulate them, and they are now waiting outside the palace."
"Let them in!"
"Yes!"
A short time later, envoys from both countries walked in, holding a gift box in both hands.
"Xinguo/Fengguo envoy, meet Your Majesty."
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, this is a gift from my new monarch, please take a look."
"This is my country!"
"Pick it up!"
The little eunuch on the side immediately walked down and put the gift box in front of him.
I opened the first one and took a look, and there was a jade wall inside, although I didn't understand it, but it seemed that it was worth a lot of money.
He picked it up quietly, and it was cold and smooth in his hand.
"Not bad!"
Putting down the jade wall, he opened another box, and inside was a reddish ginseng.
"Your Majesty, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng, the medicinal effect is extremely strong, and it is a rare tonic."
"I have a heart, I am very satisfied with your gift, tell me what you mean!"
"We don't have any other intentions, we just want to find His Majesty's refuge."
"Okay, I'm done, you guys go back!"
"Yes!"
Why not do two treasures for nothing? Although he said that he would shelter the two countries, he didn't say that he would definitely send troops!
"Retreat!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
……
took the jade wall in his hand and played with it, and the more he played, the better he played.
"Find a craftsman to polish it and make me a hanging ornament."
"Yes!"
Now that everything has been taken care of, he finally has some time to spare.
He had seen the topography of Wuxian before, where there was a plain, just enough to build a horse farm for breeding and raising war horses, and now his cavalry was still too few, and he had also captured some war horses in Meng before, but unfortunately there were only more than forty.
"The matter of the horse farm cannot be delayed, and for the sake of future development, he must build it as soon as possible."
However, that is a very large expense, and although the current treasury is full, there are still many places to use money, and I am afraid that there will not be much money for a while.
"That's a problem!"
After thinking about it carefully, he decided to put the construction of the building behind him.
"Go find Wang Ling!"
"Yes!"
It didn't take long for Wang Ling to hurriedly walk in.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
"I want to build a horse farm, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, war horses are a rare and scarce resource."
"But with the current treasury ......"
"You don't have to worry about the money, now you just have to tell me if you can do it?"
"Your Majesty, you can do it."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll build it before winter."
"Yes!"
"By the way, how many stallions do we have and how long will it take to get pregnant?"
"This old minister doesn't know, but you can ask someone to raise it, and my country happens to have Bole, so don't worry about it."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
"Yes!"
War horses are an important strategic resource, of course, the more the better, but this matter can not be rushed, a war horse from birth to training, at least four or five years, a short time is not visible.
……
After a few days of development, the people of Meng have gradually accepted the facts, and the same is true in several other places, at first there were people who were dissatisfied with the trouble, but now they are completely unheard.
He didn't replace those local county orders, but continued to let them stay in their original positions, after all, he didn't have enough manpower now, and there was no need to replace them if he could continue to use them.
On this day, he had nothing to do, and was going to go to the barracks to have a look, and now that several days had passed, he also wanted to see the results of the two.
When I came to the barracks, it was much bigger than before, and before I even went in, I heard a burst of shouts and killings.
Walking into the barracks, with the sound of drums, two groups of people on the school field immediately launched a charge, all the weapons in their hands were wooden sticks, and the two groups of people fought back and forth.
Murong Fuhai and Wang Kai stood on two high platforms respectively, commanding the two groups of sergeants in the battlefield to fight, although it was a drill, but the momentum should not be underestimated, and a solemn aura came to the face.
"Not bad! It's good! ”
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
The two of them also saw him, and immediately gave up the fight and walked straight towards him.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"
"It's okay, I just came to see you, I didn't expect you to come up with such a way to train soldiers, not bad!"
"By the way, has the training been going well lately? Is there still plenty of weapons and equipment? ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, everything is fine, weapons and equipment are being built overnight, or it won't be long before all of them are in place."
"That's good, just mention whatever you need, and I'll try to meet you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After a brief turn, he saw that everything was fine, and he was relieved.
"Get busy! I'll go back first, practice hard! ”。
"Yes!"
