Chapter 335: Steel Dragon

When Yu Qian got the news, he immediately stopped what he was doing and prepared to rush to Yazhou City.

Seeing that this eldest brother said to leave, the officials under him hurriedly dissuaded him, and the 100,000 army of the people pressed the border, and the momentum was violent, didn't you look for death in the past?

"Lord Yu, this matter is very important, and it is necessary to go to the court immediately, and ask the emperor to decide!"

"The forces of Chengdu Mansion and Yazhou Mansion are not Sandu's opponents at all, and the top priority is to ask for help from the imperial court!"

"Yes, as soon as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court arrive, just Sandu Xiaoer, what a way!"

After listening to these exhortations, Yu Qian couldn't help frowning, and said: "The emperor sent us to preside over the new policy of Wu Sizang, which is a trust in us. ”

"However, our task is to guide Uszang in the implementation of the new policy, the matter of war...... It's not our business......"

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "Don't forget, the old man is the secretary of the military department!" ”

The rest of the people couldn't help but look at each other, you are the secretary of the military department, we are not!

In fact, most of these people came from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Academy of Sciences, and there was no military department at all......

Yu Qian didn't want to talk nonsense with these people, so he was ready to set off immediately, when a young official stood up to show his support. This person is from the Academy of Sciences, although he mainly studies mathematics, physics and chemistry on weekdays, perhaps under the influence of the two deans, he is excited about fighting or fighting.

With the first, there is the second, and in a short time, half of the officials have already expressed their willingness to go to Yazhou City, and they will explain Wang Sandu for a while!

Most of these people are from the Academy of Sciences, and the rest, they are silent.

It means that if you like to go, I won't go anyway!

In this way, Yu Qian led more than a dozen young officials to kill directly in Yazhou City.

Liang Qi, the garrison of Yazhou, was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and when he heard that Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, had come to the front of the battle in person, he immediately felt mixed feelings.

Happily, I finally have the backbone of the heart, and I can just do what I am told.

The worry is that if the dignified military secretary and the cabinet scholar come to the front line in person, if there are three longs and two shorts, won't he become a sinner?

Yu Qian entered the city, asked about the situation, and then said that he wanted to go out of the city to see Sangdu, and asked him in person, why did he suddenly turn his face?

Liang Qike was frightened, and said in his heart that you still have to go and ask people in person, do you think you have a long life?

"The last general thinks that the situation is unclear now, so Lord Yu might as well stay in the city for the time being, and the last general can send a messenger to inquire!"

"No, the old man wants to go and see what kind of evil style that Sandu is smoking!"

"This ......"

Liang Qi's expression was extremely entangled, and he said: "Sandu has gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it is menacing, if the adults insist on going, I am afraid that it is, I am afraid that it will be ......."

"Don't worry, if he dares to do something to the old man, when the imperial court soldiers and horses arrive, there will be no scum left of him!"

Yu Qian didn't care about the so-called 100,000 soldiers and horses at all, because in front of muskets and artillery, another 100,000 would not help.

He just thought that Sang Du had just asked about his food, and he turned around and sent troops to attack, was there any misunderstanding in this?

If there is really any misunderstanding, send someone else to go, but if it is not clear what is said, Sandu will be guilty of confusion and really kill the messenger, and the problem will be serious.

Only if you go in person, the other party will be afraid and dare not do it easily.

Liang Qi saw Yu Qian's insistence, so he had to agree to come down, and reorganize his troops and horses, and go out of the city to protect.

The entire garrison of Yazhou City is only about 1,000 people, and it is said that it is protection, but in fact, it is to support the scene.

If you really want to fight, if you close the city gate and hold it, you can still stand up for a while, but in the field, the opponent's 100,000 army will charge at once, and these people will be gone.

He originally wanted to hold on, because from Beijing to Nanjing, then to Jingzhou, Chengdu, and finally to Yazhou, the railway had been fully connected, and if the imperial court decided to use troops against Wusizang, it would only take a few days for countless soldiers, horses, and equipment to be transported.

However, the Shangshu of the People's Military Department personally went to the front line, and everyone shrank in the city, which is not like words!

Finally, the gate of Yazhou was opened, and Yu Qian took the lead, followed by Liang Qi, and went out of the city with the defenders.

When Sang Du got the news, he thought that the Ming army was still fighting a decisive battle with him, so he put on his cloak and stepped forward in person.

As a result, the other side sent a messenger and shouted loudly.

"Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department and the cabinet scholar, is here, please ask Commander Wu Sizang to make Sang Du come forward and reply!"

Sang Du was a little confused, wasn't Yu Qian in Chengdu Mansion, why did he come here?

This is not easy to mess with, and in the past few months since he promised to help Daming build roads, Yu Qian has entered Tibet many times and put forward many opinions on the new policy of Wusizang.

However, no matter how hard you work, you can't break your word!

You have to give me the food you promised me, or else what will the tribal leaders think of me?

Don't I want to lose face?

Sang Du was ruthless, and personally brought some guards to come forward and meet Yu Qian in front of the battle.

To be honest, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, although he claimed to be an army of 100,000, he didn't even have 50,000.

Even he didn't really want to attack the Ming Dynasty, but just put pressure on the Ming court and gave the food as soon as possible.

Both men were on horseback, separated by a distance of a dozen paces.

Yu Qian didn't have a battle armor on his body, nor did he bring a weapon in his hand, he was just wearing the shabby official robe he wore on weekdays, and looked at him coldly.

Sang Du was furious when he saw it, so he had to say: "Lord Yu, don't come to harm!" ”

Yu Qian said coldly: "His Royal Highness the King of Interpretation personally led the army to suppress the realm, what does it mean?" ”

Sang Du felt a little in his heart and said, "Lord Yu, I asked you a few days ago, when will the food you promised me be given?" ”

"Didn't you say at that time, I will give you 100,000 stones first, and then I will give you 400,000 stones when the railway is fully completed!"

"At first, the 100,000 stone was received, but ......"

Before Sandu's words fell, he only heard a dull loud bang in the distance, and the ground under his feet was shaking, so he subconsciously followed the sound.

Woo......

The roar came from far and near, and I saw a steam train slowly approaching the station.

Yazhou City is located at the foot of the Wusizang mountains, and then go west, the terrain rises steeply, with the current technical conditions, it is not possible to build a railway, therefore, Yazhou Station is the last station of the Central Plains to Wusizang.

The railway station was built just outside the city, only a hundred steps from the front of the two armies.

When Sang Du saw this, he was immediately taken aback in his heart, and said in his heart, what is this?

A long, long monster, a monster that is still steaming......

Mengdi, Sandu thought of a legendary creature, a dragon!

The roar is earth-shattering, the body is very long, it can breathe fire, and it can fly......

Wait, this dragon doesn't seem to be able to fly, it's lying on the ground.

Sang Du secretly pondered in his heart, a dragon that can't fly, it stands to reason that it won't be very powerful, right?

I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and one person and one knife can also chop this dragon to pieces!

At this time, Jin Batu beside him handed over a monocular.

This is a rare thing, which he bought from a retired crew member at a large price when he was in Beijing.

Sang Du took it and only glanced at it, his back was covered with cold sweat.

It turned out to be an iron dragon!

The body of steel, invulnerable, and then look at the knife in his hand, it seems to ...... has lost its effect.

At this time, Sang Du secretly complained in his heart, just wanted to pull the army under the city of Yazhou, put some pressure on the imperial court, and scare and scare them, who knew that this scare would have an accident.

He wanted to cry a little now, and looked up at the sky, there was no cloud, only a flock of crows flew by, and left a cry of "fool, fool", as if to laugh at this poor worm abandoned by the Buddha.

Looking at other people's steel monsters, and then looking at their own side, the military appearance is very strong, but the guy in his hand can't look at it, scimitars, bows and arrows......

It's okay to go up the mountain to fight wolves with these equipment, but if you fight dragons, I'm afraid it's enough to choke!

Sandu's mind was racing, a dragon is a flying snake, as the saying goes, if you can find the seven inches of this dragon, you should be able to fight.

He searched carefully with his binoculars, but his eyes were sour, and the dragon's whole body was made of iron, where was there seven inches?

…… Wait a minute!

Mengdi, Sang Du thought of one thing, and remembered that Jin Batu had told him, what is this called...... What car?

That's right, the train!

It turns out that this is the legendary train?

The Ming court requisitioned 200,000 people from itself to build a railway, is it for this thing?

Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard Yu Qian say, "Your food is here!" ”

"Huh?"

Sandu's thoughts were flying wildly, and he suddenly heard the word food, and hurriedly put down the binoculars.

"It's ...... Grain? ”

Yu Qian nodded and said, "That's it, this cart of grain is 200,000 stones, sent from Nanjing!" ”

Sandu's eyes lit up, it turned out that the train was not a monster, it was to deliver food to himself!

At the same time, he also understood why he couldn't find out the news of the imperial court's collection of grain in Chengdu Mansion, which turned out to be shipped directly from Nanjing.

Jiangnan is good, the land is rich, the grain production is high, why didn't you think of it......

At this time, when the Tibetan army learned that the train was here to transport grain, all their eyes turned green, some people began to move, and the war horses under their crotches also became restless.

Sang Du waved his hand: "Be quiet!" ”

The Usizang army was fairly disciplined, and for a moment, the soldiers immediately quieted down.

Woo!

As the train got closer, the steam from the front of the locomotive spewed out several meters and slowly drove into the platform.

Immediately after, there was a pop, and there was a squeak of brakes, and it stopped.

Sang Du's face changed one after another, and finally, he said: "Lord Yu, don't misunderstand, I'm waiting for this time to take over the food!" ”

This time, it was Yu Qian's turn to be confused.

With so many men and horses, fully armed, you told me that you were here to take over the food?

What about the crooks?

Sang Du clenched his fists: "I'm really sorry, just because this batch of grain is too important to Wu Sizang, and the quantity is huge, I am worried that there will be less people and not enough, so I pulled all the horses out, causing Lord Yu to misunderstand!" ”

Yu Qian was stunned and said, "Is it really here to take over the grain, not to fight?" ”

"Never!"

Sang Du shook his head vigorously and said: "Wusizang is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, from the king to the people, they are all the loyal people of the Ming Dynasty, how can Lord Yu say such a thing, so that people can listen to it, it is easy to misunderstand!" ”

Behind Yu Qian, the garrison Liang Qi also saw that Wu Sizang was close to Sichuan, and the unique skill of changing his face was for them to learn!

In any case, it's not about fighting!

"Then who, you all retreat, what do you do with the knife, collect it, Jinbatu, you take people to collect grain, remember, be orderly, don't mess ......"

Sandu was already busy commanding, and this train brought in 200,000 stone of grain, which was simply a fortune!

Liang Qi and others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Tibetan army had collected weapons and lined up to unload grain.

Yu Qian stepped forward and said: "This car is 200,000 stones, it has been counted when it departs from Nanjing, you can send some people to count it again, and the remaining 200,000 stones will arrive in three or five days at the earliest, and ten days and a half a month at the latest." ”

"Well said, well said!"

Where is Sang Du still half murderous at this time, and his face is like a rich man.

"The imperial court has counted it, what else is there to worry about? As for the rest, no hurry, no hurry! ”

Yu Qian chuckled lightly and said, "When the next cart of grain arrives at the station, someone will inform His Highness, don't engage in such a big battle at that time." ”

Sang Du's face was full of embarrassment, as long as he kept smirking, and then said: "The main thing is that I don't know how many people are needed to transport this batch of grain, and the soldiers heard that the grain is coming, and they can't hide their excitement, so they have to follow and take a look." Abrupt, it's abrupt! Hahaha! Lord Yu, please rest assured, this king will withdraw his troops! ”

"Humph!"

Yu Qian snorted coldly and said: "Is Your Highness here to take over the grain, or has other plans, this official will play the Ming Sheng, and I hope that Your Highness will focus on the overall situation in the future, and not act recklessly!" ”

"This little thing, don't trouble the emperor!"

Sang Du hurriedly said: "This king is a vulgar person, if there is anything wrong, Lord Yu pointed it out, the emperor has every opportunity, so don't tell the emperor everything." ”

Yu Qian secretly said in his heart, if you don't give you some color, you won't turn against the sky in the future?

"Well, since this official is the commander-in-chief of the new policy in Wusizang appointed by the emperor, in the future, in the future, I will carry out various measures of the new policy in Wusizang, and I ask His Royal Highness to cooperate, and I must not shirk it!"

"This ...... Okay, I promise you, whatever you say in the future, we will do it, okay? ”

Yu Qian was satisfied, and said: "In this case, the official will not participate in the transportation of grain, and next, he will immediately enter Tibet to measure the land, promulgate a new tax law, and ask His Royal Highness to prepare in advance to prevent someone from deliberately sabotaging the new policy for his own selfish desires." ”

"Measure the land and enact the tax law?"

Sang Du was a little stunned, such a big matter, he didn't discuss it with me in advance!

These days, he has generally learned a little about the new policies implemented by Daming.

The redistribution of land is a very sensitive provision because it will affect the interests of many people.

Others don't say that he is the biggest landlord in Wusizang, and he is also the person whose interests have been damaged the most this time.

Seeing this, Yu Qian lowered his face and said, "Your Highness is unwilling to support the new policy?" ”

Sang Du sighed and said with a bitter face: "Yes, definitely support ......"
