Sheng Lan understood and hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit. While talking, he looked at Haotian's face. However, Haotian's eyes were half-closed and his face did not change at all, as if he was fast asleep. Sheng Lan understood.
Lan Xin couldn't help but worry.
After finally waiting for her to finish speaking, Haotian finally opened his eyes and sat up straight. Haotian glanced at Xian Lianchen and Qiu Mu, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Fairy, you are so scheming, since you have already found
Qiu Mu and Lianchen, they must have explained the difficulty here to you,"
After a pause, Haotian said calmly: "We are determined to let these babies go, but the soldiers and the people are quite opposed to it. They insist that since ancient times, major crimes such as treason and collusion with foreign tribes have been punished by the nine tribes.
, it has never been a practice to be open-minded. Moreover, their emotions are also quite excited. Since I, Haotian, am their lord, I naturally have to consider their feelings."
Sheng Lanxin was about to speak, but Haotian waved his hand, and she quickly closed her mouth knowingly.
Haotian said slowly: "We understand the fairy's heart quite well. Well, if you can think of a proper arrangement, then what's the harm in Haotian making an exception?"
Sheng Lanxin's eyes lit up, and the faces of Qiu Mu and the others also showed a hint of joy. Haotian didn't like to beat around the bush, so he always said what he said, and he always meant what he said.
"What the general means is that many of our people in Hetao migrated to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. Now that the Hebei Third Road has been recovered, the people have also migrated back one after another. But most of the people have already passed
They are of childbearing age, and most of their children have been killed in the wars invaded by the Three Kingdoms in the Northeast."
"What do you mean, let these people adopt the babies of the Holy Bliss Sect?" Haotian asked.
"This is exactly what I mean. The sixteen states of Youyun are vast, but not many people have migrated back over the years. Even though the territory is vast and sparsely populated, it would be difficult to live there. Carrying these babies there can reduce the possibility of leaking the news."
Sex is at its lowest point. Besides, these people are all unaccompanied, so if they suddenly get a child, they will definitely treat it as a treasure." Sheng Lanxin said with some excitement.
Qiu Mu supported from the side: "Husband, think about it, most of these people have no descendants and are past the age of childbearing. In ten or twenty years, when their labor force is exhausted, they will always need someone to take care of them, right? But the local government
Is it possible to cover everything? If not, then give them a child. This will at least give them a hope of life and at the same time allow them to have something to support them in their old age."
"Everyone has compassion. Although the people hate the Holy Bliss Sect deeply, these babies are innocent after all." Xin Jiao said softly: "Husband, as long as this matter is handled properly, anyone who knows will definitely
Not too many. In that case, why not give them a chance?"
Haotian thought for a while and felt that what Xin Jiao and others said was not unreasonable. Moreover, if he gave an order here, then Chu Xiangcheng and others who had their intentions would inevitably turn a blind eye. In this way,
You only need to go through the soul-eating channel to get things done.
Thinking of this, Haotian nodded and said: "In that case, you go find Master Chu. He has a careful mind. Even if there are any loopholes, he can plug them if he thinks about it. Alas, I hope these people don't become wolf-hearted in the future. But Lan
You must remember that these selected babies should not be more than three years old, otherwise they will have their own memories and may have some trouble in the future."
With Haotian's words, Sheng Lanxin and others were finally completely relieved. Now that this matter has been settled, it would be hard for Sheng Lanxin to stay in Tiandu Shengjing. After all, she is a military general and must try her best to
She had to return to Yangzhou Road quickly, otherwise the crime of leaving her post without permission would be enough for her to bear.
As soon as Sheng Lanxin walked out of the room, Haotian's body leaned softly on the back of the chair again, and Xin Jiao stood behind him as usual.
Among Haotian's wives, Xin Jiao was the most favored one. She came from a humble background, even close to being humble, but even Zhang Yue, Wan Xue and Qingcheng did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Xin Jiao. When she first filled out the Yunduo Golden Edict
When the time came, Tianyi deliberately wrote Xin Jiao's name behind him. Because Tianyi understood that Xin Jiao was the only one besides himself who did not have any utilitarianism and was completely integrated into Haotian's life.
Woman. The love of the other four people, even Qiu Mu, for Haotian is also mixed with some other factors.
Zhang Yuewan and others are not without jealousy, but they understand that if they can also give to Haotian without selfishness, Haotian will definitely love them and others as much as Xin Jiao. However, after all, they still can't let go.
Therefore, the status in Haotian's heart cannot be compared with Xin Jiao. However, even if they are jealous of Xin Jiao, they never think of provoking Xin Jiao's status. Because they understand that Haotian doesn't like his women to be jealous. Who dares to challenge Xin Jiao?
If you start the fire first, you will only be hurt in the end.
"Husband, since you are determined to let these babies live, why don't you raise them yourself?" Xin Jiao said in confusion.
Haotian smiled bitterly: "Jiao, I am not as powerful as you think. The foundation of Hetao is the 17 million people in the Three Roads, who are the most ordinary soldiers. You must not think that we have stood
We are at the highest point of China, so we must be able to respond to everything with one voice. No matter what we do, the soldiers and people below will raise our hands in approval without hesitation. We are just ordinary people, but we have the support of the soldiers and the support of the people.
, we were able to get to this point. Therefore, we must consider their feelings. Moreover, there are too many things going on recently, and I am simply too busy to deal with them, and I don’t have the energy to deal with them."
Xin Jiao was a little curious: "What's going on? Isn't there Master Chu? And Wei He and the others are not fools either."
"Uncle Chu is only one person. Our pace is too big. If we proceed steadily and take two or three years to unify China, then we will be able to handle local civil affairs and military affairs in an orderly manner.
But now, we don't have that time at all. The Holy Sect of Paradise has been completely wiped out, and the Zhang family in Huai River can't support it for long. As for Jingnan Gong, it can be solved without war. Therefore, it only takes two to three months.
In time, we can achieve the unification of China."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Xin Jiao said puzzledly: "Unifying China has always been their long-cherished wish, sir. Only by pacifying China can we send troops outside the Great Wall without any scruples."
Haotian smiled. His wife had no knowledge of military affairs at all, and she had no talent in politics, so her view of the problem was quite one-sided.
"Although we in Hetao have been recuperating in the past few years, our foundation is too weak after all, especially in terms of talent reserves. After recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, I just accepted my fate as the prefect. As for the prefect below
and magistrate counties are all still vacant, because we don’t have that many manpower. And the territory south of the river is so vast, the number of local officials needed has doubled. The reason why we used the Li family’s original officials in the Qinchuan Road area
Officials, it’s because we don’t have enough manpower. Jiao, it’s easy to conquer the country, but it’s difficult to sit on the country.”
Xin Jiao rolled her eyes behind Haotian's back. She didn't like these things, but every time Haotian talked about it, he would talk in a long way, but it was difficult to interrupt, so he had to treat it as if it was just a deaf ear, going in from the left and out from the right.
Haotian also noticed the strangeness of his little wife, so he chuckled: "Besides these, there are still a lot of troublesome things. For example, the commander-in-chief believes that we will send troops outside the border next year at most, and the nomads are not weak.
Therefore, it is recommended to send back about 100,000 cavalry, strike first, and suddenly rush outside the fortress to reduce the opponent's military strength to the greatest extent."
"The Six Kingdoms of Loulan once again raised the issue of surrender. Now the Three Kingdoms of Caravan have almost settled in the Jiayuguan Pass, and the Three Kingdoms of Loulan, Rouzhi and Hotan have all gathered in Loulan City, echoing the Jiayuguan Pass. The Spring Sword Appreciation cannot decide, and if it really wants
If the Six Kingdoms of Loulan are accepted as vassal states, there must be a strong cavalry in Jiayuguan, so as to ensure that the connection between Loulan and Jiayuguan is not cut off by Sashan. However, the status of Loulan and other countries has not yet been determined, and the border commander and Master Chu can't hold it.
I have a bit of a headache."
"Wubicang Xiong of the Luoche Dynasty is ready to surrender to us. Sashan's 200,000-strong army was wiped out on Yizhou Road, and there is no progress at Jiayu Pass. Sashan's national strength has been greatly reduced, and the power it can provide to Luoxue is limited.
However, we do not have a unified opinion on the positioning of logic. As a vassal state, this is absolutely impossible. So, whether to return the Hetao to our direct rule or return it to the Scarlet Clan, these all need to be considered
.”
"The Zhang family has not yet decided whether they are going to fight hard or surrender. However, it is best to wait until Yue Wan comes back. After all, this matter has the most to do with her. We should refer to her at some point.
Opinion. It’s just that she is currently on an expedition to the East Japan, and it is impossible for her to get away and go home."
"Ouyang Jingzhong of Dahu Road is generous, kind and knowledgeable, and has a reputation in the empire. To be honest, I don't want to face him on the battlefield. Civil war is not a glorious thing. The stage for real warriors should be outside the Great Wall.
It is outside our own territory. However, after taking over the Great Lakes Road, managing these accordingly is another problem."
"There are also the four tribes in southern Yunnan. They are now completely entangled with Jinhua Mitsukoshi. Huh, I really thought that there was nothing we could do against them with the mountains high and the forests deep. If I was angered, I would definitely let them down.
No chicken or dog will be spared. However, doing so will harm the harmony of heaven and earth. Alas, haven’t I done enough things that have harmed the harmony of heaven and earth?”
Hearing the sadness in Haotian's tone, Xin Jiao didn't know what to say, so he just leaned forward so that Haotian's head could rest comfortably between his breasts, and gently wrapped his hands around Haotian's neck.
, without saying a word.
Wei He happened to come to report some affairs, but as soon as he walked to the door of the small courtyard, he saw Haotian and Xin Jiao leaning together quietly, so he quickly and wisely withdrew without disturbing this rare scenery.
On the East China Sea, thousands of sails were already competing for the crossing.
After annihilating Kato Ying's navy, Zhang Yuewan rushed back from the Lost Sea without stopping. At Yanzhou Port on Yangzhou Road, he loaded 170,000 Hetao infantry cavalry, adjusted the sails, and sailed towards the East Japan. And the Eighteenth Army led by Dugu
Ten thousand infantry soldiers were at Insan Port in Goryeo, and together with the 50,000 Goryeo soldiers waiting here, they took advantage of the hastily assembled large and small ships to directly attack the northern part of Dongwa.
According to Xuanji's plan, the two armies landed from the north and south ends of Towa respectively, and then fought steadily to meet up at Nara Castle, the royal capital of Towa. However, there were some restrictions on foreign military orders, so both armies had their own autonomy.
decision-making power.
"Sacrifice to the heavens!" Zhang Yuewan shouted loudly. Above the dozens of warships in the lead, a blade of light suddenly swung down. Thousands of human heads, glistening with blood, fell into the sea with a splash. These were finally buried in the soul.
The Japanese prisoners of war captured alive on the island became the first victims in the battle to annihilate the Japanese people.
It is customary in China that as long as it is a grand ceremony to worship the heaven, there must be sacrifices such as Tailao. However, for this kind of life-and-death battle to destroy the country, the level of the sacrifices must be one level higher, and living people are often used. In order to
It took a lot of effort for Zhang Yuewan, Fu Yishan and others to capture these Japanese prisoners, but now looking at the thousands of heads and corpses lying on the deck, Zhang Yuewan is still very happy.
"After the sacrifice to heaven, the whole army sets off!" Zhang Yuewan shouted again, then frowned and said to Wu Zhou: "What would it look like to kick all those corpses into the sea and put them on the deck?"
Wu Zhou quickly directed the soldiers to take action, and by the way, he lifted several buckets of seawater from the sea and washed the deck clean.
Following Zhang Yuewan's loud shout, hundreds of ships, large and small, set sail one after another. The huge sails were suddenly pulled up, countless cables were straightened at the same time, and the heavy iron anchors and stone anchors slowly lifted from the sea amid the shouts of the navy soldiers.
It was pulled up. Amidst the majestic sound of war drums, Zhang Yuewan's Dinghai was the first to break through the waves.
Facing the rising sun in the east, the fleet of ships that covered the sky moved forward with an unstoppable momentum. Large groups of flying fish galloped past the middle of the fleet. Countless seabirds were frightened by the explosive momentum of the battleships, and hurriedly flew away.
It was a spectacular sight to fly up. All the soldiers, including the Hetao Navy Division, stood in trance on the boat watching the boundless blue sea. Some soldiers even pulled out their weapons and stood on the deck shouting wildly.
Called out.
"I finally understand why the ancients praised the sea so much. With such a vast world and such dazzling scenery, when you drive on the sea, your heart will beat with the pulse of the sea. In this way
In such an environment, the whole person will become broad-minded and heroic." Xue Sha praised.
He Bugui nodded and said with a smile: "The blood commander is right, the sea is so beautiful. Only a nation like the Eastern Japanese, which is extremely despicable and nasty, is still full of their despicable greed and endless cruelty in such an environment.
Obscene..."
Outsiders don't know whether Xue Sha's pulse beats with the sea, but his stomach does beat with the sea. This world-class expert is well-deserved, and he vomited into a mess not long after getting on the boat. Look.
Come on, even the world's best martial arts can't change the fate of seasickness. Fortunately, Zhang Yuewan and others are experienced people, and they have a strong foundation in blood killing. After lying for a while, they were finally able to eat something.
Fortunately, the old gangster Dugu was not around, and Feng Jingxinke and others were concerned about his elder's identity, so they did not dare to laugh. Otherwise, they would not know where to put this old face of Blood Killing.
It was only the beginning of June, and the strong south wind had not yet blown. All the warships only needed to adjust the angle of their sails slightly to be able to travel quickly.
"At this speed, it only takes two days to reach Xiaguan, the great port in the western part of the East Japan Sea." Zhang Yuewan said in a deep voice.
She once led the navy to sneak attack on the port of Shimonoseki, and burned it to ashes before the Towa navy returned for reinforcements. However, Shimonoseki is the most important port in the western part of Towa after all, so under Towa's full reconstruction,
It soon returned to its former size.
In fact, in the entire Towa region, apart from Shimonoseki, only Namba Port and Edo Port were capable. As for the northwest Towa area attacked by the Koryo army, the ports there were relatively small and not very populated.
Zhang Yuewan spread out the map, pointed at it and said: "This is the map of Dongwa five years ago, but based on Dongwa's strength, there shouldn't be much change. The Dongwa dynasty was centered on Dongwa Island, with scattered people around it.
There are many islands dotted here and there. However, most of these islands have no fresh water supply, so they are not suitable for human habitation at all. Even being used as a transit point for ships is very difficult. Our main target of attack this time is Dongwa Island. As for those small islands
, I believe that the Dragon Legion will be fully capable of the mission of encircling and suppressing them in the future."
He Bugui stood up and said: "If we can fundamentally eradicate the Japanese pirates this time, then we, the Dragon Legion, will definitely be able to deal with the sporadic Japanese pirates scattered on other islands in the future."
"Higashiwa is an island country. There are five outstanding cities in the country, including the royal capital Nara, namely Namba in the northeast, Shimonoseki in the southwest, Chukyo in the southeast, Nara in the center and the former ancient capital E
"Hu." Zhang Yuewan said slowly: "Namba in the northeast is the largest city and settlement in the northern part of Eastern Japan, but this should be an issue considered by the commander-in-chief and is not within the scope of our attack. Nara is the largest city in Eastern Japan.
, the total population is about 500,000, followed by the ancient capital Edo, with a permanent population of 300,000. There is no specific data for Shimonoseki and Namba, but the population should not exceed 200,000."
