Thousands of people and horses of Dayan Ozir Khan were panicked like lost dogs, and were forced by Hao Shaoqi and Han Gang into the lofty mountains and mountains in the upper reaches of the Datong River.

Qin Zuoming took advantage of the victory to capture Xining City, and this Qinghai-Tibet gateway is no longer as important as it used to be. Because Gao Yigong's 15,000-strong army had already swept across Qinghai Lake and advanced towards Luo. Logos are transliterated from Tibetan, and some are translated as Lhasa.

In fact, among the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses brought into Longyou by Gushi Khan, nearly half of them were young and strong people drawn from various departments in Tibet, and now most of them have become prisoners.

Qin Mu would not raise these captives in vain, and selected 3,000 people from them to form an army, although it was not named a servant army, but in fact, these 3,000 Tubo youths were servant troops.

This has the advantage that they are familiar with the topography, climate, and tribal distribution of Qinghai-Tibet, and it is better to take them as a guide.

At the same time, hard work, dirty work, and hateful work can be done by them. Moreover, this differential treatment from the Mongols played a great role in promoting the annexation of the Tibetan tribes.

The army quickly advanced on the road to Qinghai-Tibet, and the departments of Answer Sima, Azhige and other troops surrendered one after another.

According to Qin Mu's meaning, every Tubo tribe who came to join him, Gao Yigong ordered them to provide grain and grass, and at the same time sent sixty percent of Qinghai-Tibet into Tibet with him to "clean up the remnants of Gushi Khan".

The annihilation of Gushi Khan's 50,000 army caused a shock to Qinghai-Tibet that is difficult to imagine. At this time, the requirements for high merit, the Tubo tribes dare not obey.

What's more, Gao Yigong also guaranteed that the remnants of Gushi Khan but captured would be divided according to the proportion of the number of troops sent by each department.

In this way, when the army led by Gao Yi Power crossed the Dajishi Mountain and arrived near Zhaling Lake, the source of the Yellow River, the total strength had increased to 20,000, which can be described as a mighty force.

At this time, the weather is getting colder and colder. But this is not what Gao Yigong is most worried about, the soldiers have prepared thick winter coats, and even their hands have specially made a kind of leather gloves for protection.

Gao Yigong was worried that a large number of soldiers of the Qin army would suffer from altitude sickness, and he marched every day, and he asked about this matter the most.

Maybe it was because taking Sedum red in the morning had an effect, although the speed of this advance was very fast, there were not many soldiers with altitude sickness.

There is this good phenomenon, so that Gao Yigong is heroic. As long as the soldiers are not unadaptable, then there is nothing to worry about.

This time, I brought 1,500 Type 68 rifles and 30 rockets. Plus the threat of a big victory. Gao Yigong didn't believe that anyone could stop him from conquering Qinghai-Tibet.

Since ancient times, there are few Han generals who can conquer Qinghai and Tibet, and if he can complete this great feat, his high merit is enough to pass on independently in the official history.

It was Yu Shangyou who entered Tibet with the army. The affairs of marching and fighting are under the control of the higher authorities, and the affairs of dealing with the leaders of the various tribes in Tibet are led by him.

The climate of Qinghai-Tibet is so harsh that it goes without saying. Moreover, it is still a cold winter, and it is hard for you to imagine that in this case, there are still seven caravans following Gao Yigong into Tibet.

The seven caravans totaled nearly five hundred people. They were even harder than the soldiers, and although they carried a large amount of goods, they were able to follow in the footsteps of the army and not lag behind in the slightest. That desperate energy made the soldiers of the Qin army ashamed of themselves.

From this phenomenon, we can see how rapid Daqin's business has developed in recent years. How fierce the domestic competition is, and how eager the mood of businesses to open up outward.

The current Qin army, whether it is the army or the navy, has formed a very special relationship with the merchants, the army is willing to provide the necessary protection to the merchants, and the merchants also like to follow in the footsteps of the army, providing various conveniences to the army, and at the same time relying on the army to make money.

No one has impeached the ministers of the DPRK and China for this phenomenon, but although Qin Mu did not support it openly, he was secretly happy to see it happen.

As far as Qin Mu knows, this combination of military and commercial mode is the source of Western colonial expansion.

In the back office of Lanzhou Mansion, the Red Lady was talking to Qin Mu about this matter, to be precise, it was the Red Lady who reminded him to pay attention: "Your Majesty, if it goes on like this for a long time, it is not a way, it is easy for the generals to collude with profiteers secretly, this cannot be taken lightly, one of them is in charge of the army, the other is rich, and if they really collude, the consequences are unpredictable." ”

After the victory, Qin Mu was in a good mood, she had been fed well in the past few days, the skin on her face was obviously much more supple, and she would unconsciously reveal a touch of laziness.

Qin Mu took his hand and paced a few steps in the room, what the red lady said, it is natural to be on guard, money and guns are combined, once someone really reverses, the consequences are very strict.

"Ying'er reminded me well, I will find a way to prevent this."

The red lady frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you just let them do this?" ”

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "You can't give up eating because of choking." ”

Military expansion is not a fundamental end, but only a means, a means to expand the circulation of goods.

As a result of the circulation of commodities, the army's financial resources are inexhaustible.

On the other hand, the social status of Chinese merchants was too low, which was extremely detrimental to the advancement of the industrial revolution.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter how rich you were as a merchant, you had to wear sackcloth, and your descendants could not even participate in the imperial examinations.

In short, all kinds of discrimination made businessmen think of buying land once they had money, and do everything possible to get rid of their status as "cheap merchants" and change their identities to become "landlords", instead of thinking about continuing to expand the scale of business.

This would not only speed up land annexation, but would also make it difficult for the Industrial Revolution to occur.

The Great Qin Dynasty adopted the policy of the Song Dynasty, which encouraged industry and commerce, and did not stipulate that the children of merchants should not participate in the imperial examinations. However, the concept of "cheap businessmen" cannot be eliminated in people's minds all at once.

If the merchant and the army are combined, it will be good for both the merchant and the army.

Of course, it is impossible for Qin Mu, the garrison in the country, to allow them to have anything to do with the merchants, but the army that is expanding abroad might as well turn a blind eye.

The red lady is still generally knowledgeable, since the expedition, she has actually crossed the boundary of the harem and is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is Qin Mu's acquiescence to her in a special period, but if she doesn't know how to advance or retreat, it will definitely make Qin Mu disgusted.

"The concubine has said everything she should say, and your majesty knows it in her heart."

It's not enough to just know in mind, but also to have real precautions. Qin Mu was thinking about how to prevent it, and a little girl reported outside the door: "Your Majesty, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, Lord Li came in, saying that good news came from Nanjing, the queen gave birth to a prince, the mother and son are safe, and Song Meiren also gave birth to a princess."

When Qin Mu heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands, and said to Xiao Yahuan: "Go quickly, pass Li Shi in, I want to ask clearly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The red lady walked up with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the concubine, congratulations to your majesty." ”

Qin Mu laughed, stretched out a palm and counted, Qin Ye, Qin Mingyue, Qin Jing, now with one son and one daughter, he will have three sons and two daughters.

"The elephant of royal prosperity, the elephant of royal prosperity, hahaha" Qin Mu smiled and said with a smile, "This is not enough, this world is so big, I must have more sons, hahaha"

When the red lady heard what he said, she was secretly happy in her heart, it sounded like he had the intention of letting her sons split the earth, but this question was too sensitive, and she didn't want to ask more.

Li Shi hurriedly came in, and after bowing, he also congratulated Qin Mu happily, and then repeated the news from Nanjing.

"I just broke the army of Heshuo, this son was born, well, let's call it Qin Poyu. Daughter" Qin Mu was happy, and immediately wanted to name this son and daughter, "What is the name of this daughter?" ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you call it Double Happiness," the red lady hurriedly said.

"Qin Shuangxi?" Qin Mu asked rhetorically, the red lady's face suddenly turned red, she had no culture, she thought of the gimmick of double happiness, so she said it, and after speaking, she also realized that the dignified princess of Daqin called Double Happiness was a little cheesy.

She hurriedly changed her words and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you call it Baguio, how about Qin Baguio?" ”

"Hey, that's a good name, Ying'er, it's really yours."

The red lady said embarrassedly: "This is not what the concubine thought, it is the name given to the Baguio gold mine by His Majesty." ”

"Gold mine, daughter, well, it's good after all, it's called Baguio, hahaha"
