Chapter 480: Change
This expedition did not consume much national strength in the country, the army that Bai Lang took away was only more than 10,000 people, and most of the cattle and sheep he drove away were also plundered from the Mongolian tribes before, and the same was true for war horses. The loss of grain, grass and livestock along the way was replenished by ruthless looting, compared with the subsequent transport and plundering of the booty back to the convoy, which consumed a little more grain and grass.
Xinjiang Qinghai, who went from Central Asia to the Han Dynasty, burned and looted along the way, and those temples and the people who preached the scriptures in them were all burned, of course, all the scriptures were also, and most of the people who believed in these scriptures were anointed with the swords of the Bailang army, the women were plundered, and the men executed the calf, and those who were higher than the calf were all killed. The cities and villages along the way were all washed in blood, and this time it can be called a legal difficulty.
"Let the monks and Taoists send people, especially the big monks! Allow them to lead monks and soldiers, and arm the missionary who the fuck can't do it." "The Western Regions was originally a Buddhist country, and now it can be regarded as a return to its original appearance - but there is a problem that everyone has almost been killed, and the soil for preaching is thin.
Bai Lang returned to Beijing, this civil and military hundred officials greeted a hundred miles, the emperor's great martial arts are the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the martial arts alone are unparalleled by the kings of the past dynasties. Not long after returning to the dynasty, Bai Lang ordered Bai Biao to lead his army westward, and after reaching the Aral Sea, he went up the Amu Darya River, crossed the Tocharian Basin, and then entered the valley of the Kabul River, from where he could reach the Khybor Pass. Once the army has crossed the Khybor Pass, it is surrounded by vast plains and rich Indian subcontinents......
Although the road is not easy to walk, it is unlikely that a large army can walk, but an army of about 5,000 to 10,000 men can still cross the valley with enough food, but if you want to bring back the looted goods, this problem is more difficult. You can try to take the sea route, and it is still possible to sail along the coastline for supplies.
It is estimated that this expedition will take at least two or three years.
Bai Lang fell into the realm of indifference again, he, the emperor, was comfortable enough, basically did not go to court, and did not participate in the cabinet meeting - at most he showed his face. There are few handwritten instructions, and basically everything is handed over to the cabinet and the six ministries to handle, which can be called a generation of "Ming Jun" who rules vertically. Moreover, he does not draft or build palaces, has no hobby of spending money other than fighting, and has no interest in rewarding internal officials.
This person's court was able to save less than 20,000 taels of silver in a month, which was simply a model of simplicity. The most regrettable thing for the bureaucrats below is that the emperor has never offered reading courses, and there is also an important regret that the national capital issue - Bai Lang has no children until now. But seeing that he even has to pull the concubines of the last emperor of the previous dynasty to mess around, it doesn't look like he has a hidden disease?
Fortunately, there are two princes, although they are half-siblings, but they can also be. Both princes had several sons and daughters, and could have succeeded one as the crown prince—and now the two princes were secretly working on it. Directly provoked that it was not daring, these two were also afraid of their brother - even if Bai Lang basically did not punish him for not teaching after he ascended the throne, the minister really did not kill much.
He didn't learn from Zhu Di to punish the ten clans, and he even killed himself for the direct rebellion - this is absolute confidence in Bai Lang's own force.
Now it seems that the second son of the two princes is quite promising - it must be the second son, and the eldest son can only inherit their respective thrones. These two little guys were sent to Xiyuan, Bai Lang treated them equally, and in the end he only issued a holy decree, ordering the cabinet to let the two kings' second sons study, and he personally taught him about martial arts. "Distance to walk...... Hey, no, I can already control the power of the jade fish in this world, and I just want to stay as long as I want. ”
The two little princes in Xiyuan were practicing martial arts bitterly, while Bai Lang was sitting in the pavilion by the sea in Xiyuan. "Amitabha, the donor is so interested. A gentle voice sounded behind Bai Lang. "Such martial arts!" Bai Lang was not surprised, he could approach within a zhang behind him without his ignorance, he was powerless to stop what such a master was going to do. Bai Lang is used to not bringing guards, his own martial arts are unparalleled in the world, what kind of guards do you want?
And the palace maids serving around him are not very close to the servants - Bai Lang doesn't like this way of serving, and he is gentle on weekdays, and he doesn't need someone to do this and that for him all the time. Bai Lang had also heard this voice at the moment, and knew that this guy did not have any killing intent towards himself, so he was able to maintain his calm. Bai Lang turned around, "Master hasn't seen you for a long time. ”
In front of him was a monk dressed in a clean but old monk's robe, his face was quite compassionate, and his appearance was also upright, he was a great monk. No one can see what kind of heavenly demon is under the skin of this great monk. "The master is here today, I don't know what happened?" Bai Lang was also very curious, it stands to reason that this Great Britain monk should be doing trouble with Buddhism, and no matter how bad it is, he will also fight with his own thief and military master.
"That master in my family has just been imprisoned by the Buddha again, and if the master wants to find him, I can't help. "Bai Lang pushed the matter forward first, no matter whether he was a master or a Buddha, it was not something that he could intervene in with just an insider, even if he was a strong man who had achieved detachment, it would be difficult for him to intervene. In the eyes of these demons and monsters in front of him, he is probably the level of the small leader of the heavenly soldiers and generals.
The Heavenly Demon Monk in front of him is at the same level as his master. Da Ying clasped his palms together, "Good and good, Lao Wei really wants to find the Zhou donor, this line of cause and effect still needs to be covered up and disturbed by the white donor, otherwise it will be blocked by the Buddha." "Where can Bai Lang refuse, just look at the palace maid standing not too far away, and know that this demon monk is already very kind.
The monk just stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and out of thin air, a golden dragon circled and flew around, "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!" The dragon coiled over Bai Lang's body, and then disappeared directly. "What's this?" Bai Lang was quite curious. "Visuals. Da Brian's answer was also very fashionable, "In fact, the real cause and effect is completed when you say yes." The reason why there is a dragon is because of the visual effect. ”
Bai Lang was also quite speechless, and the monk said to him, "Donor, for your own sake, don't stay in this world for long." Ten or twenty years is the best, and then the elders are afraid that under the entanglement of cause and effect, you will be in trouble. ”
