Chapter 769
Qingzhou.
After waiting for almost a month and a half, Xiao Ming finally waited for Luo Quan to lead his troops back.
During this period of time, information has been coming from Bashu, but he knows very well that these are delayed war reports. For the first time, he misses contemporary telephones and telegrams very much.
If there were these things, why would he have darkened his eyes?
"Emperor, there are less than 10,000 barbarian cavalry left and are still wandering in the territory of the Great Yu Kingdom. Qi Guangyi is leading the breastplate cavalry to continue pursuing. I believe that all of these invading enemies will be wiped out in less than a month."
Luo Quan said loudly in the Political Consultative Hall.
On the third day after Aqige fled to Chang'an, he led some soldiers back to Qingzhou. After ten days of trek, he finally returned to Qingzhou.
On the way, he learned that Qi Guangyi had found all the barbarian cavalry. After the fierce battle, half of the 10,000 barbarian cavalry were killed and half were captured.
So when he returned to Qingzhou, he reported the matter to Xiao Ming as soon as possible.
The ministers in the Political Consultative Hall all breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried and unable to exert their strength during this period.
Fiji said: "Emperor, Hakata was killed, and all the main forces of the barbarians were eliminated. The remaining 10,000 barbarian cavalry were not familiar with the land in Dayu. They might be eliminated in just a few days. The crisis in Bashu was eliminated."
"What Master Fei Ge said is extremely true, I hope the emperor does not have to worry too much, which will affect the dragon body." Pang Yukun said.
Xiao Ming has always been worried about this matter, and sometimes the court is listless. The ministers saw it and were worried in their hearts, so they couldn't help but persuade them.
With his eyebrows stretched a little, Xiao Ming said: "Although this is the case, during the rampant barbarians, Bashu suffered heavy losses, hundreds of thousands of people died tragically, and millions of people were displaced. This incident was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the reform of the Great Yu Kingdom. A country of Tianfu could provide a large amount of taxes for the court, but now the court is going to transport food to save disasters."
The ministers in the Hall of Political Affairs were silent.
Xiao Ming said no exaggeration. The purpose of the barbarians' trip was very sinister. While robbing, they also burned all the things they could burn.
This makes a large number of people homeless, and the food that can be harvested will be burned immediately, making life even more difficult for the people.
"Emperor, at least the initial production team established by Bashu has played a lot of role. Many people have fled into the mountains to avoid being slaughtered by barbarians. The lost wealth can still be returned, but the people are the most precious in Bashu." Fiji said.
Luo Quan agreed, "Emperor, this is true. The barbarian massacres mainly occurred in Songzhou, Yazhou and the cities leading to Yizhou. Although the people in the village also suffered casualties, most of them were spared. Moreover, the things plundered by the barbarians were seized by us. If we return these things to the people, we can let the people pass the winter."
Xiao Ming nodded. This was good news among bad news for him. The rescue was still in time, otherwise Bashu would only suffer more losses.
After briefly talking about the situation in Bashu, a trace of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in Xiao Ming's eyes. He said: "The barbarians will not die for the destruction of our Dayu Kingdom. The barbarians will not be destroyed for one day, and the Dayu Kingdom will not be safe for a day. For the safety of the Dayu Kingdom, we must fight back against the barbarians so that they can no longer be so rampant."
Upon hearing this, Pang Yukun said with a serious expression: "The emperor thinks twice and never fall into the enemy's trick. The news that the Secret Guards have sent back is very strange. This time, the barbarians were instructed by others to use Tubo."
"It is precisely because someone has interfered with it that I have to deal with the barbarians, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with when the barbarians become stronger." Xiao Ming said.
During the Bashu Rebellion, Wang Xuan sent someone to send back a piece of information. At that time, Pang Yukun and Fiji were both there, and he told the two casually.
Wang Xuan's information clearly mentioned that there were blonde and blue-eyed Westerners in Shengdu in the Golden Horde, and this Westerner was still around Bei Shan.
Based on this information, he could easily determine that this was another conspiracy by Britain after Japan.
The British, who were used to using balanced policies in Europe, brought this set to Asia.
Their purpose of going to Japan first and then to the Golden Horde is very clear, which is to limit the development of the Great Chongqing Kingdom on land and ocean at the same time.
Europe in this world is obviously matured earlier than Europe of his era, both in terms of technology and politics.
But this also caused him trouble.
In his opinion, perhaps the development of the technology of the Great Yu Kingdom aroused the vigilance of the British, or perhaps the cooperation with the Dutch angered them.
No matter which way it is, the British are not friendly to him now.
So he now has to find a way to make the British's strategy fail, and he can no longer give the British time to support the Golden Horde and Japan.
"Pang Shoufu was really unnecessary to worry. Now the army of the Great Yu Kingdom is no longer the same as before. This time, the power of the firearms was clearly revealed. "Luo Quan said confidently.
Xiao Ming nodded. His confidence came from the equipment of Zhenglu Musket.
It can be said that the current Dayu army is already a standard firearm unit, and its equipment and training level are not inferior to that of the Western army.
The barbarians are now just grassland empires that stayed in the feudal era, and they were difficult to resist the advanced firearms and tactics of the Dayu Kingdom.
If the barbarians had not lived on the grassland and had strong power from their horses, he would have launched an attack on the barbarians long ago.
However, he still can't go to the grassland now. The number of cavalry in the Great Yu Kingdom is still too small, but he can go to the barbarian settlement area.
In addition to Shengjing, there are six barbarian cities distributed from Shanhaiguan to the foot of Changbai Mountain, which extend into a straight line.
For a long time, the barbarians used these six cities to provide supplies to occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun. Now he wants to seize these six cities and plunder people and livestock from the barbarians.
For him, the days when the Great Yu Kingdom became poorer and poorer as they fought, and now he wants to be like them, and he will become richer as much as he fights.
At the same time, this is also the best memorial for the dead people in Bashu.
"Emperor, even if you want to fight, you can't be in winter. The north is bitter and cold, and the soldiers' clothes are thin. At that time, the war may not have started, and the soldiers will be frostbite a lot."
Seeing that Xiao Ming seemed to have made up his mind, Fiji reminded him.
"Old Feige is at ease. Although I am very angry, I am not dazed yet." Xiao Ming said. He knew the power of winter than these ministers and would not foolishly fight with the Golden Horde in winter.
Niu Ben and Luo Quan are both veterans, so naturally they know the reason.
