Chapter 335: Sons! Town! Today I'm going to take you to taste the orchid!
Wang Bo completely defeated the 20,000-strong army of Qiuci in the first battle, killing more than 3,000 people, capturing about 10,000 prisoners, and seriously wounding more than 5,000 people.
This battle completely broke the backbone of the Qiuci Kingdom, which had a total of only eighty or ninety thousand people, and it was hired to have so many soldiers. But even so, there are seven or eight thousand people from the country of Qiuzi.
This time, one-tenth of them are directly gone, and the adult males in the entire Qiuzi country are only about 20,000, and basically half of them are gone. In addition, the armor, weapons, and war horses are almost all gone, and these things account for eighty percent of the Qiuzi country.
After this battle, the country of Qiuzi was already wide open, and it was no longer able to resist.
Wang Bo did not continue to let the army attack Qiuci City, and as a result, Qiuci City opened the city and surrendered on its own. Immediately afterwards, I saw the nobles in Qiuci City escorting the king of Qiuci to ask Wang Bo to surrender.
It turned out that after the king of Qiuci abandoned his army and fled back to the city, those nobles in the city learned that the king of Qiuci was defeated, the army was victorious, and there was almost no soldier in the city.
Looking at those Qiuzi nobles who kowtowed like slaves and begged for forgiveness, Wang Bo did not have the slightest expression.
The king of Qiuzi next to him had a blue nose and swollen face, looking lost and depressed, Wang Bo kicked him over: "The small country of Pu'er also dares to attack and kill my envoy, can you wait for Hu Lu to think of today?" ”
"The general spares his life, the general spares his life!"
"The general's attack on the envoy was his order, and it has nothing to do with us, and I ask the general to spare his life!" The nobles of the country of Qiuzi cried one after another.
Wang Bo ignored them, and said directly: "Someone, send a messenger to escort King Qiuci, his wife and son to Luoyang, and wait for Your Majesty's fate!" ”
"Yui!" The surrounding soldiers immediately stepped forward to escort King Qiuci, together with dozens of people such as princesses, princes, and princesses, and prepared to send them to Luoyang, the divine capital.
After completing this, Wang Bo shouted loudly: Sons! Town! Today I'm going to take you to taste the orchid of the turtles!
"General Wansheng!"
"General Wansheng!" There was thunder of joy in the army.
As a large country in the Western Regions, Qiuci City is still very prosperous, seventy percent of the population of Qiuci City lives near Qiuci City, and the remaining three adults live in several other cities.
Wang Bo looked at these surrendered nobles and asked, "Who of you has the highest status here!" ”
"General, he's the Prime Minister of the Turtles, Buchard." Those aristocrats pointed to a middle-aged man.
Wang Bo brought Buhard to the ground, and then asked him to find all the nobles, religious leaders, and wealthy merchants in the city, and send a large army to control the entire city of Qiuzi.
Ordered the Gong Guo Cheng to control the Qiuzi Mansion Treasury without anyone moving.
Soon Buchard brought in all the nobles, religious chieftains, and wealthy merchants in the city.
Looking at the powerful people of the Qiuzi Kingdom who knelt in front of him and didn't dare to move, Wang Bo sneered, then pointed to the religious leader among them, and directly ordered: "Xu Shouyi, go and cut him down for me." ”
The attendant behind him didn't say a word, he directly put it out, and then slashed it with a knife.
"Go and bring two hundred armor soldiers and cut down all the men in his family!"
Wang Bo didn't give any reason, if there was a reason, then who made him not believe in King Haotianwen? He did this to establish his authority, to destroy the religious beliefs of the Qiuzi people, and to trample them under their feet completely.
The effect was also immediate, and after the head of the religious leader was sent, those powerful and wealthy businessmen trembled and cried for their lives.
"My great cadre is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and he has his own etiquette, and His Majesty sent the envoy to give you a chance, but they are stubborn, and they dare to kill the envoy, which really gives you face!"
Wang Bo said and looked at a fat man beside him, kicked him over, and directly kicked him a few meters away, while the fat man endured the pain and turned over and crawled to his knees.
"Now I give you a chance to live, and I will set aside a territory under the jurisdiction of each of you in a while, what I want, you will go to find it, who does not manage it well, who dares to disobey the yang and the yin, hehe!"
Wang Bo smiled slightly, but in the eyes of these people, he was like a demon.
"As long as there is a problem, you and your family, together with the divided area, will not be sealed for three days!"
"Don't dare! Can't! We will obey the general's orders and serve you with all our hearts! ”
Hearing Wang Bo's words, these people immediately responded, and at the same time, they were relieved in their hearts. Now I finally saved my life.
Wang Bo looked at these people and said with a smile: "Now go and send wine, cattle and sheep, I want to reward the three armies." ”
"In addition, go and pick five thousand women from the city and send them!"
Soon these people brought a jar of grapes and wine, cattle and sheep, and Wang Bo sent these wines and cattle and sheep to various military camps.
Part of the army entered the city, and some were stationed outside the city, although it had been victorious, and even the country of Qiuzi did not have the slightest power to fight back, but Wang Bo still left half of the soldiers on guard.
In addition to the 3,000 Guardian Knights, the cavalry sent by the imperial court, whether it is 2,000 cavalry under the Imperial Protectorate or an expeditionary son, must be given enough benefits when they come to fight thousands of miles away.
The country of Qiuzi can afford to raise 20,000 mercenaries, and it is naturally very rich, and Wang Bo scraped a lot of money from those rich merchants, nobles, and religious leaders after a lot of looting.
It can be said that everyone who went out on the expedition made a fortune, and all the warriors who made meritorious contributions in this battle were rewarded.
Qiuzi Orchid is notoriously enchanting and proficient in singing and dancing, which has been verified in the previous life of the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Bo distributed the selected Guizi orchids to the warriors who had made meritorious achievements, and those who did not have meritorious achievements or did not have enough merit could only reward money, drinks, and food.
Among them, there are the Guardian Knights, the soldiers of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the Long March Erlang. Because many of the Knights of the Cathar were married, many more chose other rewards. These orchids were left to the others.
Of course, if you want these orchids, you still have to give money, and the money is directly given to the orchid's parents, which is considered a dowry.
Daqian is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, but he talks about etiquette.
The vast majority of those Long March sons and daughters are troublemakers in their hometowns, and they immediately have wives when they come here, and they will even divide the land in the future, and they will immediately become masters.
The remaining 500 turtle orchids that had not been allocated, Wang Bo was ready to send them all to Luoyang, the divine capital, and handed them over to His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, these are also given money.
Wang Bo did not squeeze ordinary people, ordinary people have a few money, and the money and materials are in the hands of those rich merchants, nobles, and religious leaders.
These are the people who do all the dirty stuff.
After Wang Bo looted a large amount of money, in addition to distributing half to the soldiers, the remaining half was used to recruit craftsmen and buy various materials from the people.
After all, money can only reflect its value when it is spent, and at the same time, Wang Bo's approach has also gained the goodwill of the people at the bottom of the country.
You must know that those nobles are not so easy to speak, these Qiuci people are not living very well, but now that the army is here, there is no massacre, no robbery, no arson, the public security is better, and even because of a large amount of consumption, the market of Qiuci has become more prosperous.
The people at the bottom are living a good life, and in this period when civilization is still very ignorant, they don't care who the ruler is.
