Chapter 13 The Rich Party
Rondo felt that he was already a dead man, but what he didn't expect was that the knife on his head just didn't cut off, he knew that he only needed to use light force, and there were many ways to kill people at such a distance, and they were all unstoppable by the killed!
But Tang Chao didn't kill him, he suddenly smiled slightly, and removed the knife from his neck: "General Rondo, I won't kill you, you go!" ”
Rondo obviously didn't believe that there was such a thing on the battlefield, and the enemy actually let him go, but he was not stupid, and he understood at once: "Are you showing me favor?" ”
Tang Chao shook his head, his face solemn: "Definitely!" You are injured today, and you are not my opponent, so you will fight me again after you recover from your injuries! ”
"This, this is your truth?"
Tang Chao said: "Today, if there is no person like you, I will feel meaningless to live in the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Rondo's eyebrows furrowed, revealing a strange look: "I still don't understand what you mean?" ”
"How old are you today?"
"I'm seventeen."
"Okay, very good, you can have such martial arts at the age of seventeen, three years older than you, your future martial arts are unlimited, I can't bear to strangle a genius, in that case, my Tang Dynasty's human nature is too despicable, I will wait for you to come to me, only in this way can I find the meaning of life."
Such words, that is, people in the twenty-first century are a little puzzling, Rondo was born in an indigenous wealthy family, and he has little education in his life, so he naturally can't understand his words, but it is a kind of Tang Dynasty's admiration and appreciation for him, and he still hears it.
At this time, Sheva had already led the army back, recruited 3,000 indigenous rebels, won a complete victory, captured nearly 10,000 horses, Meng Xiao fled into the mountains again, fell into the grass for Kou, Sheva ordered the four tigers of the Zhuan clan and Banlin Xin Baijiang to clean up the battlefield together, but he returned first.
As soon as Sheva asked, he immediately knew what had happened, and knew that the Tang Dynasty had moved the idea of loving talents and wanted to collect Rondo into the account, so he said: "Rondo, do you dare to compete with Tang Dashuai again after you are injured?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Rondo replied proudly.
Sheva said: "Very good, since you dare, then dare not stay in the army to wait for the decisive battle, you can rest assured, Tang Dashuai is a person of faith and will not secretly harm you, do you believe it?" ”
Rondo nodded: "Of course I believe that if Tang Dashuai harms me, I won't be able to live now." ”
Tang Chao thought that this kid was stubborn, but he didn't expect that he would know that he was already merciful to him, and he was silent for a long time, and suddenly bowed to the ground: "Lord Tang, the kid is willing to submit to the court!" ”
Sheva's words, he didn't know, but secretly blamed him for not knowing how to thank the Tang Dynasty for not killing, now I think about it, what am I fighting with the Tang Dynasty, my life is spared by him, I can only give him my life in the future, what to talk about and fight him in the future, what is that not ingratitude?
Tang Dynasty thought that it would take a lot of energy to make this young general submit to him, but he didn't expect that this kid was a hot-blooded man, so he quickly held his hand, helped him up, took off his brocade jacket and armor and handed it to him: "General Long is really a person who knows the times, and in the future, you and I will work together, like brothers in life and death!" ”
Rondo knelt down and thanked him, put on a brocade jacket and armor, and returned to the Tang Dynasty from then on.
When Sheva told him that his father, Tiexinbu, had died in the rebellion, he was very sad, but since he had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he had no dissent, so he listened to Sheva and wrote a letter to his own people entrenched in the Pebble Valley, asking them to surrender to the court. After seeing the letter, the general of the pebble valley knew that the general trend had gone, and people like Meng Xiao were still defeated and fled into the mountains, if they wanted to resist, they would hit the stone with an egg, and then surrendered-
At this point, the Lingnan rebellion was quelled, the time was eighteen days, the Tang Dynasty was overjoyed, the three armies were rewarded, the imperial court was written, and Sheva was sent to personally escort a group of war criminals back to Beijing, so that Li Longji could not deny it and fulfill his previous promise.
Haha laughed three times, and the Tang Dynasty's heart seemed to have seen Princess Xinling become his wife, and he was happy.
But the Tang Dynasty knew that it was time for him to win the war, but he was not willing to rush back to the court to ask Li Longji to fulfill his promise.
From now on, the Tang Dynasty ordered 3,000 indigenous craftsmen to work day and night in Hongshi Cave and Liuzhou City, as well as in the three most important gold and silver mines where the Ministry of Iron and Information was entrenched.
Mother's, since the emperor didn't give me military salary, then I had to look for military salary by myself, thinking that I had spent millions of taels of silver on my furniture in vain, and now I should also recover the interest.
To the dazzle of the Tang Dynasty, in just half a month's effort, three thousand taels of gold and five hundred thousand taels of silver had been obtained.
At this time, Sheva had already escorted the war criminals to the capital, and reported to the imperial court in detail about the Tang Dynasty's suppression of the Lingnan rebellion.
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military heard that the Tang Dynasty had achieved such military feats, they were all in awe, and there were many people who regarded him as the face of the eldest princess of Yuzhen, looked down on him, and did not think that the Tang Dynasty could make great contributions in the frontier, so they all changed their faces, and many people who thought he had lost power were optimistic about him again, and the people who gave gifts were endless, and the letter was accepted honestly and unceremoniously according to the previous instructions of the Tang Dynasty, and a total of gold and silver worth one million taels of silver.
Li Longji was really quite surprised, he couldn't imagine that this stinky boy in the Tang Dynasty could make such a great achievement, put away his jealousy, and thought to himself, this kid is so capable, he has to reward him, and immediately summoned Sheva personally to the Qinde Palace, carefully asked the Tang Dynasty about the process of quelling the Lingnan rebellion, and finally said a pertinent word.
"The Tang Dynasty is indeed a general!"
Because of this sentence, the Tang Dynasty official was reinstated, and he became the Huangmen squire and the Zhongshu Sect Pingzhangshi, which shocked the imperial court.
Li Longji was jealous and liked in his heart, he knew that it would be better to have such a courtier to suppress the enemy country, but he couldn't make him the prime minister, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be a person like Dong Zhuo again, and he was depressed in his heart.
So when he returned to the harem, he was sullen, Princess Xinling was his youngest daughter, she was peerless, and she was wonderful, he wanted to choose a man like Lu Xun as her husband, but he didn't think that now according to the agreement, he has to marry his favorite woman to this guy!
Lu Xun is a squire of the military department, he is talented, and his martial arts are also good, but he was squeezed out by Li Linfu and fell outside the capital.
As soon as Yang Guifei saw Li Longji's face, she knew that he had encountered something unpleasant in the Qinde Hall today, so Wen Yan comforted: "San Lang, is there anything bothering, tell the concubine?" ”
"Hey, it's not for the Tang Dynasty."
"What's wrong with him?" Yang Yuhuan immediately noticed.
"Do you know, I used to ask him to be the envoy of the Lingnan Festival, when he defeated Meng Xiao for the first time, he came to Luoyang to see me at that time, and put forward a condition, if I don't give him military salary, he can still quell the Lingnan rebellion, I will fulfill my promise at that time, and marry the girl Xinling to him. I thought that this matter was very difficult, almost impossible, but now that the Tang Dynasty has really quelled the Lingnan rebellion and sent war criminals to the capital, you can tell me, what should I do? ”
Yang Yuhuan smiled softly: "You hate the Tang Dynasty so much, in fact, he is a person, and he has made more than one great contribution to you, what do you want to do with him?" ”
Li Longji was slightly surprised, why did Yang Yuhuan also help him speak, oh, by the way, this kid had been to Yuzhenguan to persuade her to come back before, so he couldn't say anything about some friendships, and said with a smile: "Ai Fei, I am a prince who must be rewarded for meritorious service, just now, I have already issued an order to reinstate the Tang Dynasty officials, but to be honest, I don't want to marry my daughter to such a person!" ”——
"Why? Didn't the princess like him and beg me to propose to her? ”
Li Longji shook his head: "I don't know what the reason is, in short, I don't think this kid is suitable for my family." ”
Yang Yuhuan smiled, she immediately understood Li Longji's heart, he was jealous of the Tang Dynasty, and felt that he was already so powerful at a young age that he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to his throne in the future, so he said: "Your Majesty, you have a golden mouth, since you have a promise, it is better to cheapen this kid, and there will be a chance to rectify him in the future!" Isn't it? ”
Li Longji immediately laughed: "Concubine Ai is right, I can only marry Princess Xinling to him, otherwise, I am afraid that I will lose my trust in the world, and whether I rectify him or not depends on his future performance!" ”——
The court messenger had already sent the edict of the reinstatement of the Tang Dynasty officials to Lingnan, but the Tang Dynasty was reluctant to leave, and his successor made Xu Qiao have already arrived, but the Tang Dynasty always used the excuse of delaying and not handing over power with him, the reason is very simple, the gold and silver in Hongshi Cave and other places produce nearly 100,000 taels a day, there is so much silver, how can the Tang Dynasty give up?
A month has passed, the Tang Dynasty has already been excessively exploited for mineral deposits, and it can even be said to be a predatory opening, and the amount of gold and silver produced gradually decreased sharply, and the Tang Dynasty gave up. But even so, the Tang Dynasty has obtained a total of 10,000 taels of gold and 5 million taels of silver, and the rich side is not as strong as those princes in the capital!
The Tang Dynasty finally understood the reason why Li Longji did not pay his military salary, it turned out that Lingnan was a land rich in gold and silver, and he used to give a huge offering to the imperial court every year, which was the reason, it was only because of Meng Xiao's rebellion that the central government's finances were sharply reduced, and Li Longji sent himself to recapture the mineral deposits.
The Tang Dynasty knew that at other times, when this Lingnan Festival envoy was not only to give the imperial court a huge offering, but also to give a lot of gifts to the officials in charge of the imperial court, but now he had just quelled the chaos, made a world-beating contribution to the imperial court, and made a few sums of money, which was naturally a logical thing, and he was not afraid of Li Longji to check himself, anyway, the countless gold and silver seized in the Mengxiao cave before, had already been rewarded to a large number of soldiers for meritorious deeds, and the Lingnan officials followed the Tang Dynasty's wealth, and the Tang Dynasty did not stop it, guarding the rich envoys, There is the idea of clothes for everyone to wear, and everyone is happy!
He knew that after his predatory military opening, the output of gold and silver in Lingnan would be sharply reduced, unless he found new mineral deposits, it was no longer interesting to stay in Lingnan, thinking of Princess Xinling's beautiful face, three months after quelling the Lingnan rebellion, he led 800 soldiers back to the imperial court.
These 800 people are the team of his Houfu soldiers, in addition to the old people like the Four Tigers of the Sheva Clan, plus the three cadres of Banlin Xin Baijiang and Longduo, the strength is not to be underestimated, and he is determined to achieve a force in the capital!
In recognition of his military exploits, Li Longji personally greeted him outside the noon gate! The cause of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak!
