Since ancient times, fighting has been the most expensive money, but Yuan Tiangang is ready to make money by fighting, his idea is crazy, but in fact, it is not crazy at all.

In the past, it cost money to fight a war, because the strength of the two sides was about the same, and it took too long to fight back and forth, and the soldiers and horses were outside, so they had to consume a lot of grain and grass, and when they went out to fight, the soldiers had to increase their salaries, and the soldiers who were killed and injured in the war needed to be paid compensation, so it would cost a lot of money.

But now the situation is different, Yuan Tiangang has so many 38 Gaiga mortars, attacking any country is the kind that destroys and destroys quickly, and if you take down a country and rob them of their money and food, you won't have money.

Because it was now public ownership, and the private merchants no longer existed, he could only raise the agricultural tax, and then chose the country to go to the expedition - the Wa State.

Yuan Tiangang is an anti-Japanese hero, he hates the Japanese state, that kind of hatred is unimaginable to ordinary people, this time, he personally led 100,000 navy, with 1,000 mortars and 538 canopies, and mobilized 500 warships to conquer the Japanese state.

Yuan Tiangang was lucky, he didn't encounter any big storms, and soon landed on Wa Island, after landing, his order was very simple, kill people when he saw them, regardless of men, women, old and young, because this time, he was preparing to exterminate the clan!

The population of the Wa State has risen to more than one million in recent years, and the national strength has improved, but in the face of the Tang Army with mortars and the 38 big cover, there is no resistance at all, after the Tang Army landed, it was divided into three large armies to advance in different directions, carry out carpet sweeping, kill people when they see them, and leave no chickens and dogs, and the Wa State is experiencing a catastrophe.

Although the population of more than one million is large, it can not withstand such a massacre, and the lord of the Wa State has asked for surrender several times, but Yuan Tiangang does not bird them at all, and his order is only one word - "kill"!

The fifteen armies of the Wa State were all wiped out, although the people also organized resistance forces, but they were not vulnerable at all, the monarch of the Wa State began to flee in all directions, and wanted to escape by boat to sea, but was caught up by Yuan Tiangang's fleet, a mortar bombardment, the entire fleet sank to the bottom of the sea, and then, Yuan Tiangang led his troops back to the Wa Island and continued to massacre.

For more than three months, Yuan Tiangang killed from the south to the north and from the north to the south in the Wa Kingdom, confirming that there was no one alive in the entire Wa Kingdom, which left a devastated island, and returned to China, the ship was loaded with money and grain plundered from the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom was rich in silver, but unfortunately most of the silver had been deceived by Li Hao, and Yuan Tiangang only got 15 million taels back, which was enough to last for a while.

After Li Hao heard the news, he couldn't help but be speechless, he didn't expect Yuan Tiangang to be really ruthless, and actually killed the Japanese country without leaving more than a million people, all killed, and had courage.

But Li Hao didn't feel how pitiful the Japanese people were, because he sympathized with no one and couldn't sympathize with the Japanese people, he could also understand Yuan Tiangang's hatred for the Japanese people, after all, Yuan Tiangang had experienced that catastrophe, it was a monstrous hatred!

After Yuan Tiangang returned to China, after a little rest, he mobilized the navy again and set off to Liuqiu to attack Li Hao, still with 100,000 troops, 500 warships, 2,000 mortars, and 50,000 38 big covers.

After receiving the news of Yuan Tiangang's attack, Li Hao immediately mobilized his army and got ready, five hundred warships were dispatched, each warship was equipped with dozens of cannons, this is a cannon, the power and range are not comparable to mortars, the cannons on the five hundred ships combined, more than 10,000, tsk, he is now looking forward to Yuan Tiangang's arrival.

A month and a half later, Yuan Tiangang's fleet came to Liuqiu, but before it got close to Liuqiu Island, it met Li Hao's fleet, and the fleets of the two sides met on the sea, lined up, and rushed towards each other.

However, the distance between the two sides is still ten miles, Li Hao's fleet has already opened fire, and huge cannonballs are whirring and falling in Yuan Tiangang's fleet, even if only one cannonball hits, a ship is basically destroyed, there is no way, the power is too great, and these ships are all wooden ships, and the defense is extremely low.

Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, although he knew that Li Hao had cannons, but he didn't expect that there were so many, because the cost of cannons was too expensive, he built mortars precisely because he couldn't afford to build cannons, although there were many mortars on his ship, but the range of mortars was only more than three miles away, and it couldn't be compared with cannons, which was very embarrassing.

Yuan Tiangang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered to turn the direction and retreat, but it was not easy for the huge fleet of five hundred ships to turn around, and it took fifteen minutes to successfully turn around, but in these fifteen minutes, his fleet had lost nearly half, there was no way, Li Hao had too many cannons, and the bombardment density was so wide, it was really terrifying.

"Chase!" Li Hao ordered the pursuit, and all the ships pursued with all their might, bombarding with the cannons on the bow of the ship while chasing, until the evening, and bombarded nearly 100 ships of the other side, Li Hao ordered to stop the pursuit and return to Liuqiu.

Seeing Li Hao's fleet leaving, Yuan Tiangang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also extremely annoyed, he originally swore to come, but he didn't expect Li Hao's warship to be equipped with so many cannons, this can't be fought at all, this battle, the navy suffered heavy losses, five hundred ships, and now there are only more than a hundred left, it is estimated that when he returns to Chang'an, those ministers are going to chirp crookedly, and it is a headache to think about it.

After returning to Chang'an, sure enough, the ministers were dissatisfied because of Yuan Tiangang's failure to conquer Li Hao, although Yuan Tiangang treated the enemy brutally, but treated the courtiers, as long as everyone did not make mistakes, he would not punish excessively, in order to save his dignity, Yuan Tiangang decided to destroy the Abbasids, after all, the Abbasids are now one of the two major threats to the Tang Dynasty.

However, due to the defeat in the naval battle, a large number of mortars and 38 large covers were damaged or lost, and it must be added that this time it will cost money again, and the 15 million taels of silver that have just been stolen from the Japanese state will immediately use up 7 million taels.

Two months later, after replenishing mortars and rifles, Yuan Tiangang set out with an army of 200,000 to conquer the Abbasids.

Naturally, the Tibetans could not watch the Abbasids being destroyed, and at the same time, they also felt that this was an opportunity, perhaps to take the opportunity to destroy the army of the Tang Dynasty, and then they could invade the Tang Dynasty.

So Garqinling personally led an army of 300,000 to attack from the rear, first cutting off Yuan Tiangang's grain and grass, and then flanking Yuan Tiangang's army with the Abbasids' army.

Yuan Tiangang had long expected that Tubo would make trouble behind his back, this was just a flaw he deliberately sold, as soon as the Tubo army arrived, Hou Junji appeared in the rear of the Tubo army with 100,000 troops, and a bombardment made the Tubo army formation chaotic, Hou Junji and Yuan Tiangang attacked the Tubo army before and after.

The Abbasid army saw that the Tibetan army was in danger, and hurriedly attacked the whole army, came forward to rescue, the two sides fought, Yuan Tiangang had the most advanced weapons on this side, how could they compare, although this battle was very tragic, but still annihilated the armies of the two countries, and the Garqin Tomb was killed.

Yuan Tiangang sent Hou Junji to Tubo to capture Tubo, after all, Tubo lost 300,000 troops, and there were few troops left in the country, and it was not difficult to conquer, and he himself continued to conquer the Abbasids with a large army.

The Abbasid caliph Uthman did not expect the Tang army to be so strong, although there are still 200,000 troops left in the country, but he heard that the Tang army has a god-thunder that destroys the world, and their more than 200,000 troops are directly bombed and fled in all directions, and they can't resist at all, so he plans to flee and flee to Egypt with only 200,000 troops, and go to Egypt to claim hegemony.

However, Yang Fan suddenly staged a mutiny, killed the Ottomans with his own hands, imprisoned all the royal family members and nobles of the Abbasids, and when Yuan Tiangang arrived, he surrendered the city.

Outside the city, when Yang Fan saw Yuan Tiangang, he bowed his head and saluted: "Master, the apprentice has completed the task you assigned." ”

"Well, Fan'er did a beautiful job." Yuan Tiangang nodded in satisfaction.

It turned out that Yang Fan turned out to be Yuan Tiangang's apprentice, when he went out to learn art, he said that he met a strange person, but in fact, he met Yuan Tiangang.

Destroyed the Abbasid and Tubo, Yuan Tiangang was complacent, returned to Chang'an, the ministers of the court and the central government were stunned, and actually destroyed the Abbasid and Tubo at the same time, this is a supreme achievement, they praised Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangangzhi was proud, and he enjoyed the feeling of being praised.

Now that the Tibetans and Abbasids have been defeated, the next step is to send people to spread the Tang culture and absorb the aborigines of these two places into the Tang people.

The problem then appeared, now the system of the Tang Dynasty is public ownership, not to mention the conflict between these two places and the religious culture of the Tang Dynasty, the way of life of the public ownership system is not something they can adapt to, so there are conflicts in these two places almost every day, and the chaos is incomparable, Yuan Tiangang sent the army to suppress it, but the effect is not great, barbarians, they are like this, they do not obey the indoctrination, not to mention that this indoctrination is too different from their original life philosophy and way of life and religious externalization, and it is extremely unadaptable.

The riots seemed to be contagious, and then there were riots in the Central Plains, for the simple reason that the people began to go hungry.

At present, the method of paying agricultural tax is based on the village, and the tax is paid upward, and the remaining grain is used as ration for the whole village.

However, in recent years, the grain output of the Tang Dynasty has not been able to rise for some reason, and Yuan Tiangang has also increased the agricultural tax, and the farmers can't eat enough every day, and they have to work in the fields hungry.

Farmers can tolerate anything, but only can not accept hunger, how good their life used to be, the family has a field, the harvest is high, not only can they eat enough, but also can often open meat, have money to buy new clothes or something, and then Wu Meiniang raised the agricultural tax, and can barely eat and dress warmly, now it is good, all the fields are taken away, and they have to be hungry, hungry every day, and have to work in the field, they can't bear it, plus some people with ulterior motives instigated, many places have launched riots.

Yuan Tiangang reviewed the music until late at night, since he took power, the music is a lot of hair, even if he is busy until late at night, he may not be able to finish it, he saw these riots in various places, his mood was irritable, he has a long life, and white hair has begun to appear on his head.

"Alas......" Yuan Tiangang walked outside the Manna Palace, looked up at the stars, suddenly felt so melancholy, and muttered to himself, "Where did I do wrong, shouldn't it be like this, where did I do wrong......"
