Chapter 551
After Yun Hao entered the barracks, he became a completely different person. This war is completely different from the previous war, and there is always a logistics for the previous war. His army could carry a large amount of military supplies, and twenty days' supplies on weekdays, which was the most basic amount. That's it, it has to be that there are sufficient supply bases within a radius of five hundred miles.
This time to the Western Regions was different, the distance of the march was often thousands of miles. It is basically impossible for a person to march in a place like the Western Regions and carry a burden for twenty days.
The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, with five million people scattered across the vast land like pepper noodles. It is also unrealistic to want to replenish supplies on the spot.
That is, in the Western Regions except for the air. Food, water, ordnance were all great difficulties. Fighting in the Western Regions was not so much a battle between the two armies. It's better to fight logistics and supplies. Not to mention, the Great Cannibal has gunpowder and oil just like the Tang Dynasty. They even have improvised airships. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't build a steam engine, maybe their equipment would be as good as the Tang people.
Yun Hao has always relied on his own cleverness to fight. Rely on advanced weaponry to defeat the enemy without the slightest knowledge of the enemy. Not now, the things that I have made up have been sold to the Persians by those who eat inside and out.
In the past few days, there have been many killings in Chang'an City, and they have used cruel punishments such as Dabi and Ling Chi. Since Zhenguan ten years, Datang has the saying that Zhenguan is prosperous. Li Er usually does not use this kind of punishment, and now he also sacrifices it to intimidate those miscellaneous pieces.
In short, this is an uncertain battle. The tens of thousands of Tang troops left in Anxi and Beiting by the Tang Dynasty were attacked every day from unknown sources. So far, I have been able to cope with it, but it may be possible for a long time. So, Yun Hao issued the first military order. To everyone's surprise, Datang's defense line in the Western Regions suddenly shrank back thousands of miles. The final assembly area is Lop Nur!
There was a huge opposition in the imperial court, and some people even committed suicide by cutting their abdomen at the door of Yun's house, using their own blood to denounce Yun Hao's behavior of fearing the enemy like a mouse. It's a pity that the Yun family's face is comparable to the city wall. A little blood can't make the Yun family commit suicide in shame.
Li Er suppressed all opposition in the court, and this time he stood on Yun Hao's side unconditionally and unprincipledly.
This makes Yun Hao's pressure very great, the more unprincipled and unconditional the emperor stands behind you today. In the future, if the army is defeated, he will treat you more ruthlessly.
Yun Hao began to deliberately do things in Chang'an City, and all the Green Cultists would be arrested. Those soldiers seem to lack the heart and eyes, and often let go of one or two able-bodied people. There are also some wealthy businessmen and tycoons who can run away with some money. Of course, their luxurious mansions under the long-term resettlement office will also be confiscated by the imperial court.
Those who have something to do with the Green Sect have written to impeach Yun Hao for persecuting the people of the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that these bullets were left behind in the end. Ouchi was as calm as a puddle of water, and more than a hundred bullet seals didn't even ripple. However, there are several families who were found to be illegal by Dali Temple, and the whole family was sent to prison.
When the courtiers began to shut up and acquiesced in Yun Hao's persecution of the Green Cultists. Yun Hao actually did something even more frustrating, he actually sent troops to destroy all the worship temples in Chang'an City. The grand imam was thrown and burned alive in the street, along with more than 500 other members of the congregation.
For a while, Yun Hao's fame was tied with the murderous demon king Bai Qi. Even more than that, in Chang'an, it can definitely have the effect of stopping children's crying. After someone found out what Yun Hao had done in Liaodong and Strait Castle in the early years, the name of Rentu was on his head.
But Yun Hao didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and actually sent someone to Luoyang by train to do the same thing. Eventually, the tide spread throughout the country, and the army, without any order, began to burn and destroy the mosque. The entire Tang Dynasty was bloody, but the emperor was silent about it. He acquiesced to Yun Hao's massacre of the Tang Green Sect, and the people in the palace seemed to be blind and deaf.
"Are you sure this kind of slaughter works?" Li Er's eyes were closed, and the music in front of him was almost covering his face.
Yun Hao's approach made a very bad start to the law and discipline of the empire, and the officials of the eastern and western pavilions wrote one after another. His Majesty the Emperor is required to strictly enforce the law and discipline, since those green cultists are registered in the Tang Dynasty and pay taxes for the Tang Dynasty under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor should protect their safety, instead of blindly allowing Yun Hao to slaughter. A great general, who does not dare to put his knife at the enemy in the distance, but cuts the butcher's knife at his own people, this is the act of a coward!
"The Green Sect has always conveyed its teachings to all directions, and my Datang population is as large as the stars in the sky. Of course, they want to fight my Datang idea, and the teachings of the Green Sect are very independent. This is fundamentally different from Buddhism and Taoism!
Taoism is a religion created by our Han people, and there is nothing to say about it. Buddhism was transmitted from Tianzhu to the Tang Dynasty, and many improvements have actually been made. Their teachings have actually been sinicized.
Only the Green Cult won't! Their teachings do not change and are highly exclusive. Even if it is inherited in the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, it will not be diluted and assimilated because of our huge population.
The children of the Green Sect, they don't read my Chinese classics. Unwilling to recite the teachings of the saints, he will enter the religious school founded by the Green Sect to study "The Lonely Blue Spirit".
Your Majesty, our Datang has developed rapidly. If we Han children want to find a good job, or become an official, they must take the imperial examination. Only when you have fame and fame can you become a master. Do you expect those children in religious schools who are full of the teachings of "Lonely Blue Spirit" to be famous?
They will irreversibly fall to the bottom of society, except for the dissatisfaction with the poor life and society, only the "Lone Blue Spirit" doctrine in their heads.
When these children grow up, they will become extremely extreme. It is even manipulated by people with intentions, which greatly endangers national public safety. Didn't it happen two years ago that the Green Cultists cut people at the train station? They are too fanatical about religion, and they refuse to sinicize and integrate into our Chinese culture and society.
Killing them all now looks a little cruel. In fact, this is the responsibility for future generations, and His Majesty should issue a decree to seal down the Green Religion in the Tang Dynasty and not allow the Green Religion to spread. Instead of asking the minister here, why did he kill so many people in Datang. ”
"Fuck off! Do you believe what you say? impassioned, the corners of his mouth are white saliva like a mad dog. Li Er pushed the recital in disgust, revealing a face full of anger.
"The little ninety-nine in your heart is so difficult that you think I don't know? You just want the Great Cannibals to know that you are slaughtering their cultists in the East. A ticket sells for 500 gold coins, you kid is making crazy money. Li Er's roaring voice resounded throughout the Taiji Palace. All the palace people and chamberlains are all prostrate on the ground and clamp their legs. I'm afraid that if I fart at this time, I will bring death to myself.
"The five hundred gold coins include their food on the ship. As you know, it takes almost a year to get from Quanzhou to Dashi. Yun Hao said innocently.
"If you eat five hundred gold coins a year, you're not afraid of dying." Li Er seemed even more angry.
"Half of the ticket has been handed over to the Inner House. Handed it in this morning, and spent the rest. Yun Hao spread his hands and looked like a scoundrel.
"Oh, then let's talk about the construction of Lop Nur." When Li Er heard that half of the money had gone into his pocket, he immediately shifted the topic to the matter of Lop Nur.
"My Majesty, even though mosquito legs are also meat. But don't fight the idea of Loulan people's money, it is very expensive to fight in that place in the Western Regions. The minister also has to get some scattered silver flowers for his brothers, it is windy and sandy and Gobi, who will help you sell your life if you don't give some money! Knowing Li Er's idea of attacking Loulan's treasure, Yun Hao immediately called out to hit the sky.
"You're a moneyman!
Tell me about it! That big-eating caliph will really come thousands of miles to conquer the Tang Dynasty because of our persecution of the Green Sect? I always felt that your plan would not succeed. Dashi is too far away from Datang, and slowly drawing it is what they should do. And you withdrew too hard this time, can't the caliph see that this is a trick to lure the enemy? Li Er finally returned from the role of a miser to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"The Caliph is the successor of the Prophet on earth, or the representative of the Prophet on earth. It is his vocation to spread the doctrine and it is his faith, that is certain. If we kill their followers, we will surely arouse the anger of the caliph, that is for sure. But that doesn't make the caliph's head spin!
After all, Dashi is too far away from Datang, that's a fact!
But Yusuf had succeeded in arousing the caliph's desires, and this guy had achieved a brilliant victory in the Western Regions. not only annihilated a strong force of the Tang Dynasty in a structured way, but also seized countless goods and baggage. In the mouths of the captives, they will know how rich the Tang Dynasty is. The wealth of the Tang Dynasty will definitely make the caliph salivate. The most important thing is that they think that they can defeat Datang once, and they can continue to defeat the second time.
The South China Sea Fleet has already set off, and it is believed that it will be another half a year. Niu Jianhu, Cheng Chumo, and Yu Chi Baolin will wreak havoc on the Great Food Coast. The killing of the Tang army will allow the caliph to have enough domestic support to carry out this expedition.
If the minister's estimate is correct, the Great Cannibal will make this expedition in about a year. If we retract our fists at this time, we are showing weakness to the big cannibals. They occupy the places in the Western Regions casually, as long as the train is repaired to Loulan. Relying on the water brought by the Peacock River, we have enough supplies to fight the Great Cannibal within a radius of 500 miles.
Although the supply lines of our army are also very long, our army has railways and trains. The communication lines of the Great Cannibals are even farther, and if they want to replenish their supplies, they can only continue to squeeze the people of the Western Regions. After we defeat the Great Cannibal, we can naturally present ourselves as liberators in the Western Regions, not invaders. At that time, the Western Regions might be more secure. However, this is not a matter of the minister, the minister is only responsible for winning this battle, and he is not prepared to stay in the Western Regions to run there. ”
Yun Hao saw that Li Er's eyes began to glow, and immediately guarded his bottom line. Lao Tzu's leisurely life is very good, and dry hair has to run into the desert to eat sand to show loyalty. Help your Li family deal with the big cannibal, that's because the big cannibal has gone too far. It's not that Lao Tzu likes to go to war!
"Hey......! You are a lazy character, let you govern the Western Regions, maybe you will run to the edge of the sky to hide. Forget it, I will send someone else to deal with the government affairs of the Western Regions, and you can manage the military affairs alone. For Yun Hao, Li Er was also desperate. Expect him to govern the Western Regions obediently, it is better to expect the sow to go up to the tree.
Fortunately, this guy has agreed to go to the Western Regions to fight, which finally made Li Er breathe a sigh of relief. This battle is about the face of Datang, and it can't be defeated! For this reason, he spared no power to support Yun Hao.
The conversation with Li Er ended, and those impeachment notes against Yun Hao were also thrown into the furnace and turned into ashes. The persecution of the Greens on a larger scale began, and those who did not apostulate became prisoners. Those who stubbornly resist continuing to preach have no other way but to be beheaded.
Of course, as long as you have money, there is still a way. Spend money to eliminate disasters, 800 gold coins for a ferry ticket. The people on the ship would send them to the Great Eat, which was the land that belonged to the Prophet. No one would hinder their missionary work, and the generous officers would take care of their board and lodging on the ship.
In the person who wants to live and wants to keep the teachings. I had no choice but to pay for a ticket to get on the ship, and everything has risen in price this year. In the past, the ticket was only 500 gold coins, but this has risen to 800 in less than two months. Let those guys who finally scraped together enough five hundred gold coins feel heartbroken!
When Fang Xuanling saw the impeachment of Yun Hao, he just smiled and ordered someone to send it into the incinerator. This is ridiculous, in front of the coercion Gao mastermind, if this kind of lawsuit will be won, it is better to say that you saw the ghost last night. Things have become clear to the point where there are still blind guys.
Li Daoyan went to the Western Regions, and soon the railway outside the Yumen Pass began to extend. The target is the city of Loulan on the banks of the Peacock River, where there is a water source and one of the few places where wind and sand are controlled. Although the 800-mile Lop Nur has been gradually shrinking, it is still one of the few large water systems in the Western Regions.
Overnight, the people of Loulan disappeared. They seemed to be in a hurry, and many of them didn't take their dishes and chopsticks with them. Even they didn't take enough of a change of clothes, and they evaporated from the world.
It's hard to argue with the truth of the matter, anyway, that's what the cavalry who entered Loulan said. Li Er and the princes in the court, after listening to the report like a story, Loulan disappeared as a country. In its place was the Loulan Military Fortress, which was a new name. As you can see from the name, this is a military city, a city to be built into a fortress.
Almost at the same time, the ships coming from the south sailed into Dengzhou Bay. Countless black-clad cannibals were escorted down from the ship, and these big cannibals were stuffed into tin compartments. The soldiers hated these big cannibals very much, and the whip was pumped violently. They galloped all the way and were sent to Chang'an.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were nailed to death by the Great Cannibals on the road to the Western Regions, and the head of the Duke of the Tang Dynasty was cut off as a night pot. His Majesty the Emperor was very angry, but he didn't know what would happen to these great cannibal prisoners of war.
Many people are thinking about how to take revenge on the big cannibals, and some people have already written a book to nail these tens of thousands of big cannibals to the side of the road leading to the Western Regions in Chang'an. At this time, Darius was even more worried about whether his head would be cut off, so he carefully made it as a night pot!
