Yu Wenchang was obsessed with martial arts in his early years. Although he had several women, no one ever left him an heir. This was also because his strength was too high and ordinary women could not bear it, so he could not continue to have descendants.
Now suddenly a very considerate woman appeared and won his favor in every way, so he adopted her as his adopted daughter.
This is the powerful side of Wei Qian'er. No matter where she is, she can always quickly find the most favorable backer for herself.
It was Yu Wenchang who came forward before, and Young Master Xiaoyao was able to follow the scouts into the city to find out the news. Now he stood up and expressed his support for Wei Qian'er, which forced the commander of the army Octavian to slow down the attack on the city. See
The decision depends on the situation.
Octavian was very aware of Yu Wenchang's strength and his status in Emperor Antony's heart, so he deliberately wanted to betray him. This led to the fact that although the Qin army set up their battle array, they did not immediately attack the city.
situation.
On the walls of the Tucheng, bows, crossbows, and artillery have been transported to the tower, and the soldiers are also ready to fight foreign enemies at any time.
In the city, countless people were being persuaded by the soldiers to leave the city with some important things. Of course, there were some people who did not intend to leave. Most of them were businessmen of foreign races, and many of them belonged to
Da Qin’s caravan.
When they learned that the troops of Great Qin were coming from outside, their thoughts aroused. They believed that their own army would not make things difficult for them, so they all stayed.
Gao Yan came to the top of the city tower like a trot and told Ao Da what was going on in the city.
"They won't leave? Haha, they want to provide internal support for the Qin army." After hearing Gao Yan tell what happened in the city, a flash of ridicule flashed in Ao Da's eyes.
These businessmen, who travel between Dahua and Daqin all the year round, are obviously more aware of the situation here. Once they meet with the Daqin army, they will surely be able to provide a lot of useful information, which is very important to Dahua.
I mean, it's definitely not a good thing.
Even if he knew that this was not a good thing, why would Ao Da keep them? "Well, Team Leader Gao, you will bring people to gather them together, and then..."
Aoda made a beheading gesture.
"Ah! This can't be done. The emperor has long said that trade routes should be opened widely, and merchants who are willing to pay taxes should be treated kindly, even if they are not citizens of the Great China Kingdom. If they are killed in this way, will it be okay?
What bad effects will it have?" Gao Yan, who saw the arrogance, reminded him worriedly.
"Haha, if it is normal, of course we should be friendly to businessmen. Although they have made a lot of money themselves, they have also provided Dahua with more business taxes, so they should be treated favorably. But Team Leader Gao,
Don’t forget that now that Da Qin has attacked, we have a hostile relationship with them. Can the enemy’s caravan still be used by us? If we don’t deal with such people now, how can we let them hand over their money to Da Qin?
Can we make them stronger and hurt us?"
"This...makes sense." Gao Yan thought for a moment and nodded in acquiescence.
"Okay, let's do it like this. If anything happens, I will naturally be responsible for it." Ao Da saw that Gao Yan was persuaded and gave the order.
Within the Tucheng, the people were still retreating in an orderly manner. An extremely ordinary-looking old man with a hunched body was also among them. If Aoda and Tang Chuyao were standing in front of him at this time, they would definitely recognize him as Ku Ku.
The gentleman we are looking for is Mr. Dong Laogui.
Old ghost Dong fled all the way from Shuzhou and came to Tucheng. He originally thought that he was safe, but just now, he and some onlookers saw the bloody battle between Aoda and Young Master Xiaoyao.
When he saw Aoda appearing here, Old Ghost Dong was really startled. This person was Li Si. Of course he recognized him. Considering that he would appear here, he knew that it was his whereabouts.
Was discovered.
As soon as he thought of this, Old Ghost Dong became frightened. He didn't even look at the excitement and returned to the city, wanting to go straight to his own courtyard.
Dong Laogui has always been very cautious in doing things. After entering Tucheng, even if he did not intend to stay here permanently, he still
I bought a small courtyard and dug a tunnel there to hide people.
Hurrying towards the small courtyard, Old Ghost Dong wanted to hide first. But what he didn't expect was that before he could return to the small courtyard, Ao Daji had already killed Young Master Xiaoyao, and then the whole city became chaotic.
While Old Ghost Dong was still on the street, he was spotted by the patrolling soldier Yong, who warned him that the city was about to be burned down and asked him to prepare to leave. Perhaps it was because he was old and there was a kind-hearted soldier who wanted to help him.
take things.
Being stared at, Old Ghost Dong could only pretend to be trembling and walked towards his small courtyard, but he also heard that some Daqin businessmen in the city did not leave, but wanted to stay in the city.
.
He cursed a bunch of idiots in his heart. He didn't believe that these businessmen could live to see the Great Qin Army. Even if the Great Chinese Army no longer disturbed the people, after becoming his enemies, let's see if they would be as pleasant and harmonious as before.
What are you talking about?
Of course, this is just a temporary thought of Old Ghost Dong. What he has to do now is to hide first. Now that Ao Da appears here, he cannot escape with other people, otherwise, he will probably
Once discovered, staying in the city and joining the Qin Army is the most correct choice.
Based on the idea that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Old Ghost Dong has already decided to sacrifice his life for the Qin Army.
Finally, with the help of those kind-hearted soldiers, the two returned to the small courtyard. When he noticed that no one else was looking at him, Old Ghost Dong asked the soldier to follow him into his room.
Then, while he was not paying attention, a short knife hidden behind the door was taken out and passed through the chest of the unsuspecting Dahua soldier.
A person like Dong Laogui does not deserve anyone to treat him well, because he only has himself in his eyes. After killing this soldier, Dong Laogui dragged his body into the tunnel of the room, where
Everything soon returned to calm, and no one knew that someone had committed the crime of killing soldiers here.
In the city, there were three caravans, and hundreds of merchants from Great Qin gathered together.
When the city was in chaos at first, they were a little curious, but when they learned that the Qin army was coming, they were not afraid but were very happy. They had been doing business in Dahua for two years, and they were very satisfied with the affluence here.
I understand very well, and I have thought about it more than once, why is such a good place, with such rich products, not their ancestral land.
Some of them even made suggestions to their superiors when they returned to Daqin, that is, to send troops to attack Dahua and occupy this place.
It's just that the status of merchants has always been the lowest among all dynasties, so their voices cannot be seen above. But they didn't expect that their own army would kill them so quickly, which made them excited and excited.
Thinking that once their army enters Dahua, they will have more privileges and earn more wealth. Everyone is smiling.
As for the Dahua soldiers passing by outside their courtyard from time to time, they didn't care at all. Having been here for two years, they have long been aware of Dahua's policy towards businessmen, which has always been encouraging.
Just like them, as a foreign race, as long as they don't make any mistakes, they will be protected by the Great China Army.
Precisely because they knew Dahua's policy towards merchants, these more than a hundred people were not afraid at all. All they thought about was what kind of treasures they would offer after the Qin army entered the city, so that they could
There is a chance to follow the Qin army and do more and bigger business.
Businessmen are all profit-seeking. In order to make money, they often have no bottom line.
In their eyes, there is only profit.
As for national justice, or how friendly others are to him, he can completely ignore it in the face of huge interests.
For such people, just kill them. There is nothing to regret. Because in the face of huge interests, if these people die, it will not take long for someone to fill their vacancies, and this time will not be used.
How long will it take?
The reason why Tang Ao opened up good policies to businessmen is because he knew that if a country wants to prosper, the participation of businessmen is necessary. Of course, he
It can also be used to prevent it, such as imposing heavy taxes on businessmen so that more of the money they earn falls into the pockets of the state.
For example, Longya and Anxiang will investigate these businessmen from time to time. If they do business honestly, they must be protected, but once they do something that threatens the country and the nation, I'm sorry,
Just kill.
Aoda was aware of this policy, and that was why he made the decision to kill the businessmen. Of course, the businessmen he killed were all alien businessmen who had no conscience, and he would not bear any burden.
Outside the small courtyard, Gao Yan, who had received the order, had already rushed over with dozens of soldiers. They all shook hands with crossbows, and just like that, they arrived outside the courtyard and stood in front of the Daqin merchants who were still talking excitedly.
The sudden appearance of Gao Yan and others really startled these Daqin merchants. But they were not that scared. In the past two years, they had gone from being anxious when they first entered Dahua to being arrogant now.
They all paid taxes when doing business, and they were still heavily taxed. According to Dahua law, their personal safety would be protected. Now seeing these Dahua soldiers standing in front of me, I just thought they wanted to continue to force them to leave the city.
That's all, I didn't even think that they would come to kill me.
