Chapter 81: The First Strategy (Part 2)

This time, the dispatch of troops took a lot of effort to prepare. When most people thought that the main force of our dynasty was heading towards Tubo, the divine crossbows that were ambushing the Dali border showed their power, and easily tore through the lines of defense that Dali people took as proud. In just three days, after the Dali City wall was blown up, the Dali Kingdom announced its surrender.

And the other rebel Tubo and Uighurs would probably be extremely frightened at this time, right? And some other small wild countries that originally wanted to observe the situation would probably immediately offer goodwill to Dawu.

The current debate in the court is all about whether to continue to turn the guns and attack the two treasons of Uighurs and Tubo, or to accept the letter of surrender that is about to come. Some people even suggested taking this opportunity to take all the dozens of large and small wild countries on the border of Dawu and directly put them into the territory of Dawu. It seems that this small victory swept away the previous haze in the hearts of the court officials, and everyone was excited.

I have thought about the destruction of the small country's border on the Great Wu border in one fell swoop, but I just thought about it. Although according to the current strength of Great Wu, I do have the ability to destruction of the small country's dooms within a few years, this will inevitably use a lot of money and food, consume a lot of resources, making it even worse for ordinary people who are not optimistic about Da Wu. Secondly, once Da Wu does this, it will appear purely in the form of an invader and ambitious family. In this way, several nearby countries with extremely powerful strength will not sit idly by. For example, the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Western Turkic Kingdom, even the Tianzhu Kingdom, which is temporarily in the Tianzhu Kingdom, will immediately turn against Da Wu. Once all countries join forces, it is really worrying whether Da Wu can resist.

As for the Uighurs and Tubo, they broke the contract first, and even if they accept their surrender, they would not be too relaxed. Otherwise, being too kind will only strengthen the arrogance of others.

Thinking of this, I coughed again. The court officials in the argument immediately calmed down. They lowered their eyes and listened to my final decision.

"Tao Tuan Qin, I will issue military orders for me, and everything will be done according to the original strategic plan. Continue to attack Tubo, Uighur and other countries. As for Dali's surrender letter, I will put it aside for a while and continue to fight until they hurt." I paused and said quickly: "Wang Aiqing, your diplomatic strategy of the Ministry of Rites still needs to be strengthened. The reason why I, Dawu, attacked the Three Kingdoms in every country and every region, is spreading the reasons for my Dawu to fight the Three Kingdoms. My Dawu is famous for its division. Especially not only in India, even the Great Food Kingdom that provoked this matter, I will send envoys to show kindness. In addition, those small countries, the wilderness kingdoms, Wang Aiqing can represent Dawu and accept their kindness with the most lenient means, and ask these small countries and wilderness kingdoms to help promote the positive image of Dawu and damage the image of the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms."

"I am following the order." Wang Zhaoguang and Qin Taifu both bowed to accept the order.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this strategic deployment should be considered extremely successful. Jian Lingtai's restraint on the Eastern Turks made them unable to make waves. Duan Hong's attack on Dali Kingdom was due to thunderous means, which shocked the Western Xinjiang. As long as he successfully taught Tubo and Uighurs a lesson, this strategy would be considered half of the success.

After that, it was the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. A large number of diplomatic envoys had to constantly deal with the countries in the Western Regions to appease their hearts, and show that Dawu was a peace-loving person.

In this way, when the border can be settled for at least decades. Of course, it cannot be a real decade. As long as I stabilize my country and accumulate military strength, I will take the initiative to provoke the war and continuously expand the border of Dawu westward.

In the next two months, the entire Great Wu Dynasty was inspiration. Even ordinary people kept the news of the Western Regions all day long to make money. The successive good news of victory made the people of Great Wu feel the strength of Great Wu, their vanity was greatly satisfied, and their sense of superiority was greatly expanded.

Under my secret decree, Duan Hong was not polite to the three countries in the Western Regions. He plundered what should be plundered and the cities that should be slaughtered. Although this made the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms miserable, he could only swallow his broken teeth into his stomach. The surrender letter he sent was not accepted, and he was in dire straits. He did not dare to say anything when he was robbed, for fear of angering the Emperor of Great Wu, that is, I, but refusing them to surrender would probably cause them to suffer even more. Especially the strong foreign policy I implemented made the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms in the Western Regions.

It became seriously isolated, and many countries were even afraid of having any connection with them. It was not until just a few months that the war seemed to have just begun and had ended. The Great Wu Kingdom slowly accepted the surrender letter of the Three Kingdoms, and sent diplomatic envoys to sign a series of unequal treaties with the Three Kingdoms, recognizing its status as a permanent vassal state of Da Wu, and compensating the war military expenses totaling 8 million taels, and paying tribute to Da Wu a total of 15 million taels each year. This item alone is equivalent to the tax revenue of Da Wu six months before.

In addition, Duan Hong plundered materials and money everywhere. After sorting out the reward, he shocked me. All the stolen materials could be worth about 60 million taels of silver. Damn, these three countries are so surplus. In previous years, they have to pay tribute of one million taels every year, and they have to complain and cry and cry and say that they are poor. Now, each country has increased to 5 million taels of tribute. If this continues, even if Da Wu does not destroy him, it will be difficult to turn over within hundreds of years.

When Duan Hong led his army back to Dawu, he was welcomed by the people along the way. The Dawu Kingdom had not fought a battle of elegance for more than a hundred years. Such a great victory was not the case except when it was founded at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty.

The Western Army returned to the capital and was also welcomed unprecedentedly. The common people even took out their best food, waited on the way through the army, ran up and ran away. Even some brave little girls were looking for lovers in the army. A few months later, thousands of officers and soldiers got married at the same time, which was beyond my expectations at the beginning.

The throne and military power of the Great Wu were unprecedentedly improved after this battle. Many ordinary people who had complaints about the imperial court and the royal family also had a sharp increase in their favor and trust. So many of the originally difficult government orders were implemented and effectively promoted.

In the direction of Jian Lingtai, the strategic goals also reached the pre-conceived concept. Under his provocation, a local friction war had begun between several large Eastern Turkic tribes that were already grinning. As long as a few more fires were lit, the entire Eastern Turkic would be in chaos.

The most happy thing in the civil and military affairs of the court was Liu Zhenming. After the boy couldn't wait to sell the plundered supplies, he smirked wildly all day long. Oh my God, I have never seen so much money since I was a child. Damn, this boy has been in charge of the treasury for so many years, and he doesn't leave any face for himself. I joked to him that since you have never taken care of so much money, then go to sleep in the treasury at night. Unexpectedly, the boy really rolled up the bedding and went to sleep in the treasury. No one in the civil and military affairs of the court could persuade him. The fat man kept shouting that even if he died, I would die in the treasury. Damn, I saved money and sucked everywhere. I have been suffering from old Liu over the years.

Speechless, in the end, I had to take action personally and roll his bedding and throw it out of the treasury with the fat man. However, he still promised him to get 10 million in financial funds so that he could be generous in approving his colleagues' money. In his words, even if he had been a stingy for a long time, he would give him a chance to make a fortune.

After this farce, the court officials did not look down on Liu Zhenming, but respected him a little. In the past, when they went to the Ministry of Revenue to apply for funds, they would always be troubled and deducted by Liu Zhenming, especially the budget, and the method of cutting melons and vegetables. They made everyone secretly call him a miser and a stingy worm, and act like a treacherous treasure. They would not lose any penny when the treasury was his own treasury.

Today, the court officials seem to have just met Liu Zhenming. They are stingy and stingy, and they are not voluntary. The national treasury only earns about 30 million taels a year. If he hadn't been able to live a day like him, the national treasury would have been trampled. When every guy meets Liu Zhenming, he always sighs, "Mr. Liu, you have suffered over the years."

However, Liu Zhenming verbally said that he wanted to spend a lot of money. Unexpectedly, when encountering various requisitions and budgets, the ones that need to be cut are cut, and the ones that should be cut are cut. When I asked about this, he couldn't help but complain. Sometimes when stingy becomes a habit, it is really difficult to correct it.

It is a good thing to be full of the national treasury. The inventory of nearly 80 million taels of silver has been reduced, and the interest on the government bonds has been reduced. In the past few years, it has been fully committed to developing internal affairs. This year's cleanliness has been paid as usual due to good results. Among the hundreds of officials in the capital, almost every one of them has received about 10,000 taels of cleanliness, which has caused the morale of the Beijing officials to rise sharply. It turns out that they can make money without embezzlement or accepting bribes.

This made local officials feel itchy, and they all donated the dirty silver obtained from embezzlement into the clean fund as a Beijing official. In this way, although the clean fund every year is not as much as the clean fund. However, taking the clean fund is a legitimate income, and once the corruption is found, it will lose its head. Instead of making ten silver with fear, making eight cents of silver without worry.
