A large number of caravans poured in, making Lanzhou, which had just experienced the baptism of war, unusually prosperous.

In the midst of war, there are often huge business opportunities.

With the encouragement of the imperial court, Daqin's commerce has shown an explosive growth in recent years, as if the energy that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out, and various chambers of commerce have sprung up.

The increasingly fierce commercial competition prompted many businessmen to look beyond Daqin and continue to open up.

Many businesses are aiming at the army and following in the footsteps of the army. Every time a battle is won, the soldiers will inevitably have some captures, and it is impossible for the imperial court to order all of them to be surrendered, so as not to affect the enthusiasm of the soldiers in battle.

And it is inconvenient for the soldiers to carry with them what they have captured privately, so many merchants will follow;

As long as the soldiers sell things to them, you want dragon coins, or a treasure copy that is easy to carry, or directly ask the merchant to remit the money back to your hometown, whatever you choose, the credibility is guaranteed, and the child is not bullied.

Of course, in addition to this, war itself is a huge attrition, and for both the military and the people, there must be demand for attrition. In short, the business opportunities are limitless.

Now the battle situation in Longyou, the Qin army can be described as a whirlwind, with the destruction of the two armies of Bailu Tuhu and Narisong, the remaining two roads and Shuote soldiers and horses can be described as rumors, panic all day long.

They added up to less than 15,000 people, and this was no longer a matter of the number of troops, Gushi Khan was captured alive, and even more soldiers and horses had no intention of fighting again.

The eldest son of Gushi Khan, Dayan Ozir Khan, who was attacking Zhuanglang Fort, retreated first, but was blocked by Qin Zuoming at the confluence of the Datong River and Huangshui, and there was no hope of crossing the river.

Immediately after Han Gang led the army to kill, he was so shocked that he fled to the upper reaches of the Datong River in a hurry, wanting to return to Qinghai-Tibet, so how easy was it?

After listening to the battle reports from all sides, Qin Mu was in a good mood. Discuss with Sima An, Li Yuan and others about the next step for Qinghai-Tibet.

Gu Junen said: "Your Majesty annihilated the main force of Heshuote in one fell swoop, and captured Bailu Tuhu alive. At this time, no one in the Tibetan tribes will dare to rebel against His Majesty's dragon scales.

In order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to rise up and muddy the waters of Qinghai-Tibet again, the minister thought that he should send troops into Tibet as much as possible to recruit the heads of various tribes in Tibet. Ordered to do his best to return to Daqin. ”

Sima An said: "It is necessary to send troops into Tibet, but it is not enough to send troops. The situation in Tibet is quite special, and after entering the winter, it is almost a desperate area. If we blindly use strength, I am afraid that we will not be able to solve the problem of Qinghai-Tibet.

The minister thought that although he had to take a two-pronged approach, while sending troops into Tibet, His Majesty could send envoys to canonize the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, and appease them first. After the Qinghai-Tibet military and political affairs are sorted out, we will talk about the rest. ”

Sima An's words are a serious remark of the old man, winter is coming, and now there are Chitate in Hetao and Norbu in Monan. It is impossible for Great Qin to devote all his energy to Qinghai-Tibet.

And blindly talking with a butcher's knife is definitely not a wise behavior, and sometimes you have to grasp the heat and take the method of boiling the frog in warm water.

Qin Mu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Everything else is easy to say, but there is one thing that must be addressed. ”

"Please make it clear."

"Take advantage of the current victory to solve the force of the Tibetan tribes. This problem is solved. Everything else is negotiable. ”

The power came out of the barrel of the gun, and the guns of the various departments in Tibet were surrendered first, and then some people wanted to toss, but they couldn't make any big waves.

In the second hall of Lanzhou, the ministers sitting suddenly fell into deep thought, the sun outside the window was very bright, but there was not much heat, and the yellow leaves were rolling in the wind, indicating that the severe cold was coming.

Yu Shangyou muttered: "What does His Majesty mean is that in Qinghai-Tibet, the method of Mo Nan is also adopted, in the name of clearing and suppressing the remnants of Heshuote, recruiting troops from various departments of Tubo, and then controlling these soldiers and horses?" ”

"Yes, whoever doesn't send troops here, it is Bailu Tuhu's comrades, even if he only has ten soldiers, he must send six, not one, and let them bring more grain and grass, our army enters Tibet, and it is impossible to transfer grain and grass from Guanzhong."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to, right? The income from the extermination of Heshute should be enough for our army to supply, and if we let Tubo provide grain and grass again, I am afraid that they will"

"What will happen? Is it the other way around? Qin Mu said lightly, "No matter how loud you shout, it's not as good as cutting off a human head to have a deterrent effect, I believe that there won't be many people who have the courage to rebel now." There are a few antis, just when the chicken kills the monkey. And you have to understand that more now and less in the future is grace. Now you don't want anything, you want something in the future, and that is hatred. ”

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the minister can't wait just in case."

"The matter of Qinghai-Tibet is easy to say now, but after entering Tibet, it is indispensable to face many difficulties. Therefore, it is a question of who to send into Tibet, and you can tell me who is suitable. ”

Sima An thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that fifteen thousand soldiers and horses in Tibet is appropriate, too little, once something happens this winter, it will be difficult for us to support." In terms of generals, the minister thought that the senior one was good at fighting and was more old-fashioned, so it was more suitable for him to be the commander of the army in Tibet. However, it is not enough to have a high level of merit, and the situation in Qinghai and Tibet is too complicated, although it is advisable to send a capable person to Tibet to lead the general opportunity. ”

Qin Mu looked at Yu Shangyou and said, "Yu Shilang, it's up to you to patrol Qinghai-Tibet." ”

The emperor has already named him, and Yu Shangyou has no choice but to take the drudgery: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Qin Mu continued: "This time, in the entire Longyou, there are not a few casualties in our army, and the matter of compensation must be implemented as much as possible, and don't let the soldiers shed blood and tears." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers and others have already compiled the casualty figures reported by soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and will send them back to Nanjing as soon as they are sorted out, and the household department will allocate money to the fields for compensation."

In the army, not all of the pensions are given to the people, and some of the pensions are allocated to the land.

Daqin now has a population of less than 50 million, and the imperial court encourages the people to have more children, although the birth rate reported in various places is quite high, but it will take two years for the people's livelihood to develop to a certain extent, and then it may usher in the peak period of childbirth.

This caused a problem, the territory of Great Qin was constantly expanding, but even in the Central Plains, there was still a large amount of arable land abandoned and uncultivated. Therefore, when the imperial court rewarded meritorious service, half of it was allocated land, firstly, to encourage the people to cultivate more, and secondly, to reduce the immediate expenses of the imperial court.

And most of the generals and soldiers in the army are willing to accept land, the reason is very simple, the Chinese concept of land has always been very important, and how much money left for children and grandchildren is not as solid as leaving some fields.

Qin Mu thought for a while and said: "Spread my will, all the children of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country will be given priority to enter the Royal Mongolian School and enjoy free education. ”

The Mengxue run by the royal family is the emperor's internal treasury allocation, and Sima An and they don't have much room for beaks.

Besides, the matter of the royal Mengxue is handled by his son Sima Kai, and he does not want to dismantle this platform, Qin Mu ordered that he would just handle it accordingly.

Gu Junen continued: "Your Majesty, although the main force of Bailu Tuhu has been destroyed, but the remnants of Dayan Ozir are still fleeing, as the so-called wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows. ”

Seeing Qin Mu nodding, Gu Junen continued: "In the upper reaches of the Datong River, the Qilian Mountains are towering to the west, and the Daxue Mountains are blocking it in the north. ”

The way back has been cut off, Qin Mu is not afraid that Dayan Ozir will flee to the sky, as for the Chitate of Hetao, Qin Mu also intends to wait for Ma Yongzhen and them to move to Norbu, and then let the Mongolian troops and horses come to conquer.

Ma Yongzhen has already captured Guihua City, and the good news was just delivered yesterday. This time to take the naturalization, all the seizures will be distributed to the various departments of Monan, with the benefits, the heads of the departments are now happy, and they are very hard to encircle and suppress Norbu, so let them work harder.

There is a war to let the soldiers and horses recruited from Mongolia be recruited, and after the high level of the first merit into Tibet and the control of Tibet, Mongolia and Tubo, there are soldiers and horses of these two tribes to fight, which is basically enough.
