Chapter 82 can only be Jin Ge Iron Horse, and morality must not be used

Gold, all remelted ingots. Each piece was a hundred taels, and these gold ingots were placed on the shelves in the dark room, densely packed.

Chen Ying looked at the long corridor, a golden light.

Walking along the road, there is a golden strip of gold.

Even if Chen should be rich.

Even if he is already rich at this time.

Even if money was just a number to him, Chen Ying still felt his heart beat faster when he saw so much gold.

"Windfall!"

Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said, "What's the matter with all this gold?" ”

Ma Zhou bowed and said: "Back to the Lord, a year ago, the Western Turk Five Crossbows Bi Special Service Medicine Geluo led more than 1,300 people to surrender to our Anxi Protectorate. Two months ago, the remnants of the Eastern Turks fled to the northwest under the leadership of the Eastern Turks and the Ottoman agents, and we watched over their passage through Anthi according to the Lord's wishes. However, Yaogro suddenly disappeared, and his son Kasur reported to the Anxi Protectorate that his father's disappearance might be related to their Western Turkic treasures......"

Ma Zhou talked about these things, Chen Ying could find that there was no trace of any trace in history. According to Kasur. The Turks fell for Changsun Sheng's strategy, and were secretly fueled by Pei Ju, and finally split into two parts: the east and the west. In particular, in the seventh year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, the Turkic Apo Khan Da Luo was captured by the Yehu Khan Luo Housheng. A descendant of the Western Turkic Lidatou Khan succeeded him as Nili Khan.

After Nili Khan succeeded to the throne, he tried his best to restore the Eastern and Western Turks and recast the glory of the Great Turks. During this time, he began to secretly reserve gold and silver goods, and joined forces with the Persian Sassanid Empire to eliminate the Central Asian overlord Bada Empire, dividing up the century-old wealth of the Bada Empire.

Subsequently, this wealth was stored up by the Nili Khan, which was intended to be used as a starting capital for the recasting of the Turks in the future. However, in the thirteenth year of the emperor's reign (593), he united with Princess Dayi, the wife of Shabalu Khan, to attack the Sui border, but because Princess Dayi was killed by Dulan Khan Yongyu Lu, he failed. In the third year of Renshou, the Eastern Turks began to be Bi Khan, united with the Tiele Department, and defeated the Nili Khan. With the death of the Nili Khan, the plan to reforge the Turks did not stop, and the successor Western Turk Khan started the plan, stockpiling gold, silver, steel, precious stones, and grain.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and he is ambitious to unify the Yehu Khan, and his martial arts exceed those of the previous Khans. In order to consolidate the hegemony of the Turks in Central Asia, Tong Yehu incorporated the kings of the Western Regions into the military administrative system, granted the official title of "Jieli Xuan", and sent a Tutun to be stationed to monitor and supervise the collection of taxes. In addition, the political center of gravity of the Khanate was shifted westward, and Xinya was placed in the Qianquan (near Tokmak) in the Shi Kingdom, and directly controlled the strategically important Shaba River and the Atami Road of the Silk Road.

It's just that when Tongye Hu Khan was planning to attack Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, he was killed by Chen Ying in a battle. With Tong Yehu's hasty death, he did not arrange the heirs of the Western Turk Khan, thus leaving the Western Turk Khan empty and falling into disarray. In this case, the Five Crossbow Bi Special Service Medicine Geluo led his troops to guard the treasures of the Western Turks in Jinwei Mountain.

However, the vegetation of this Jinwei Mountain is very scarce, and the Wucrossbow Bi special service medicine Geluo cannot be self-sufficient at all, and there is no Western Turk Khan to send him supplies, so in desperation, Yao Geluo has no choice but to surrender to the Anxi Protectorate and get a long life.

However, Yao Geluo didn't tell the Anxi Protectorate about this treasure at all.

However, the fugitive obsession and Osman and others did not know how to know the treasures of the Western Turks, so they secretly sent people to kidnap Yaogelo and ordered him to open the treasures of the Western Turks.

Fortunately, Yao Geluo's son reported this matter to the Anxi Protectorate in time, and Su Dingfang led his troops to raid Jinwei Mountain at the first time and intercepted most of the Turkic treasures, however, some of the treasures were still robbed by the Ottomans.

Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and asked, "How many men and horses are there under the Ottoman command now?" ”

Ma Zhou thought for a while and said: "According to the military report, there will definitely be no more than 5,000 men and horses under the command of the Ottomans at that time, including about forty or fifty high cars. ”

Chen Ying smiled wryly.

The high carriage of the high car belongs to the two-wheeled carriage, the diameter of the wheel is about four feet long, and the load is about 1,500 catties or even 2,000 catties. Far too many are not comparable to four-wheeled carriages, the key is forty or fifty carriages loaded with gold, that is very powerful, the Ottomans can rob at least forty or fifty tons of gold.

Ma Zhou pointed to the gold and said, "We got this gold and immediately recast it, all of them were one hundred and one tael, a total of one hundred and thirty-six thousand three hundred and fifty-two pieces. ”

Chen Ying nodded.

In the Tang Dynasty, one catty was 680 grams, which was equivalent to nearly 300 tons of yellow catties. In addition to gold, there are also a large number of rare antique jade and gold trees and silver flowers, pearls, jade, agate, and Hetian jade, which can be called works of art.

Kaiyuan Tongbao is Wude at the end of the third year began to cast, I can't imagine that you can see tens of thousands of Kaiyuan Tongbao here, you must know that Datang can only cast five or six hundred thousand Kaiyuan Tongbao a year, so far, but cast more than 670,000 yuan.

Chen Ying has never been short of money, and he has long been accustomed to seeing gold, silver and jewelry, but he sighed.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "Gold and silver are just a bunch of useless precious metals, which can neither be eaten nor drunk, and we can use them with this money." All the officers and men of the Anxi Army will be issued four sets of winter clothes and four sets of summer clothes each, and they will be paid a full three years of military salaries! ”

Ma Zhou shook his head and said: "This money looks like a lot, but if you want to repair the Chi Dao, it is far from enough!" ”

Chen Ying said with a smile: "If such an amazing treasure falls into my private pocket, the benefits will be evenly distributed, and everyone will be happy!" ”

……

Just as Chen Ying was checking the vault with a proud face, Lu Zhikun, the secretary of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate who was waiting for Chen Ying to summon him in the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, was holding a big hoof that was roasted with oily aroma and was gobbling it up.

originally thought that when he came to Anxi, Lu Zhikun would shed his skin even if he didn't die. After all, he used to be Li Shimin's man, and followed the eldest grandson Wuji to Anxi to seize power.

Later, Li Shimin failed, the eldest grandson Wuji was beheaded in Chang'an City, and Lu Zhikun was afraid of being settled by the Autumn Queen, and he was terrified every day. However, Chen Ying never thought that there was such a person as Lu Zhikun.

He worked diligently for more than half a year, and without waiting for the official who came to arrest him, Lu Zhikun began to break the jar, eat and drink every day, and used the money he saved to take concubines like crazy. In the past three years, Lu Zhikun took more than 800 concubines, including Qiuzi people, Gaochang people, Tuyuhun people, Tubo people, and of course, the most beautiful women of the Persian Sassanid Empire. He went into the cave almost every day and was the bridegroom every night.

Eating and drinking almost every day, but due to too much physical exertion, he did not gain weight very much, but lost a lot of weight, and even his chin was exposed.

After eating a big elbow of more than three catties, Lu Zhikun still felt a little hungry, now that Chen Ying is here, will this meal be his last meal.

Finally, after being summoned by Chen Ying, Lu Zhikun was wearing a crimson official robe, but his expression was nervous and his whole body shrunk, and he had no official authority at all.

"Lu joins the army, you don't have to be nervous, General Ben doesn't eat people." Chen Ying walked in with a smile, pointed to an empty seat next to Ma Zhou and said, "Hungry, right?" Come and eat! ”

"I ...... Xiaguan ...... Can't! Lu Zhikun said timidly.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "You won't worry, General Ben poisoned this wine and food to take your life, right?" ”

"No, General Chen is definitely not such a person!" Lu Zhikun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, probably really hungry, regardless of the image, grabbed a hoof and gnawed it violently.

"Don't worry, eat slowly." Chen Ying sat down on the side for a long time, and watched Lu Zhikun eat with a smile.

At this moment, a loud laughter came: "Where is General Chen, I want to die!" ”

It was none other than Zhang Huaiwei, who had a lifelong friendship with Chen Ying.

Then, Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui, Guo Xiaoke, Duan Zhigan and others came to the hall one after another.

Men naturally have the way of friendship with men, Chen Ying commanded the servants to serve wine and food, and everyone had no scruples and ate and drank openly.

It's been about half an hour.

Everyone was full of wine and food, and they couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks, staring at Chen Ying with their eyes.

Chen Ying looked at the generals and said, "Originally, General Ben thought that this day would be a long time, but now the time is ripe. The Hu people are unrighteous, no matter what promises they make, they are nonsense, even the words are just a piece of waste paper, just when they are strong, they will immediately tear up the agreement and directly use the iron hooves to decide the ownership of this land! I have already seen these habits of the Hu people clearly. To deal with them, you can only use Jin Ge Iron Horse, but not morality! ”

War, in the final analysis, is to fight for national strength and strength.

Originally, Chen Ying wanted to launch the Great Western Expedition without the help of Chang'an, and it would take more than half a year or even longer to prepare.

However, because of the windfall from heaven, he obtained the treasure of the Turks, so he no longer had to worry about sending troops and military expenses.
