"Master Qin, how is Zhuang Santing doing?" Cheng Chumo asked cautiously.
Qin Hao put his hand into the copper basin, washed away the blood on it, and said calmly: "It should not be life-threatening for the time being, but it is hard to say whether the wound will become infected or not in the future."
Cheng Chumo heard this and looked at the dead Qiang captives: "Did the blood transfusion not be enough? Why don't we get two more Qiang prisoners?"
This is the attitude towards foreigners in ancient times. It is very real and cruel. But similarly, nomadic peoples such as Turks and Mongolia have never regarded Han people as human beings.
Contact between a civilization and another civilization is always accompanied by blood and killing, either fusion or destruction.
Qin Hao wiped his hands: "Blood transfusion will not help much with his current injury. Instead, it will bring unknown risks. If you are really worried, just leave him in my tent for observation for a while."
"Then I'll spare the trouble, Sir." Cheng Chumo was very sorry to hear this. In his opinion, if he could save Zhuang Santing's life, let alone one or two Qiang people, it would be worthwhile to kill all the prisoners.
.
"If you have nothing to do, please go out first. What he needs most right now is to rest and recuperate."
Seeing that Qin Hao issued an order to expel guests, Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo had no choice but to leave.
However, after leaving the tent, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but call Yun Ye and probed: "Boy Yun, this thaumaturgy of taking blood and exchanging lives was taught by your master? In addition to these, your master also taught you some
What?"
Yun Ye remembered that Qin Hao said that in order to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty, one had to pull the tiger's skin and pull the banner. Since they had already praised the non-existent "master" to this extent, they didn't mind flattering him some more.
"What my tutor has learned is like the unfathomable rivers and seas. Salt production and blood transfusion are just small paths. My tutor often says that everything in the world has its own laws of operation. As long as we master the laws, we can use them to our advantage. Unfortunately,
, I was just too playful when I was young and never inherited Master’s skills.”
Cheng Yaojin looked like he was squandering natural resources, his fingers were shaking with anger, he pointed at Yun Ye and said angrily: "I really entered Baoshan and came back empty-handed."
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Hao's tent again: "What about your senior brother? How many skills have you learned from your master?"
"Senior brother works much harder than me, but in terms of how many skills he has inherited from master, I guess it's only half or six."
Cheng Yaojin seemed to feel better after hearing this, but he still felt inexplicably regretful. Then he thought about it, it was already very rare for someone as old as Qin Hao to inherit half of the skills of the hidden master. After all, he only made salt.
, taking blood in exchange for life, these two things are enough to show that the hidden master is definitely a scholar of heaven.
Facts have proved that Cheng Yaojin was a man who never wanted to suffer losses, not to mention that this time his legitimate son almost died at the hands of the Qiang people.
Early the next morning, two Qiang prisoners were killed to sacrifice the flag, and then the army set off.
What followed was a brutal massacre. In fact, the fighting power of the Qiang people was not weak. It is not an exaggeration to say that their folk customs were fierce. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Qiang people were tortured.
During the Tang army of Jia, the Qiang people were completely incompetent.
War is the best way to reflect the industrial level of a country. In this regard, the Tang people have been ahead of the Qiang people for an entire era. This is the crushing of technology.
For seven consecutive days, wherever the Tang army passed, the Qiang people either surrendered or died. Anyone who squatted down a little slower would become a dead soul under the sword.
The Qiang people finally couldn't hold on anymore and sent an envoy to ask for surrender. They were afraid that if it were too late, the entire Qiang people in Longyou would be cut down by Cheng Yaojin, the murderous demon king.
Although Cheng Yaojin was unhappy, he also knew that the terrain of Longyou was complex. If the Qiang people were pressed too hard, these Qiang people would flee to the deep mountains and old forests. After a few years of recuperation, they would inevitably come out to cause trouble again. At that time, they would not
It’s easy to clean up.
"You can surrender, but you have to show sincerity and let your leader come to see me. You are not worthy of talking to me!"
The Qiang leader came to Zuowuwei's temporary camp the next day and talked in Cheng Yaojin's handsome tent for half an hour. Then, the Qiang leader got on the prison carriage, no, carriage, heading for Chang'an.
According to Cheng Yaojin, he was not qualified to approve the surrender of the Qiang people and asked him to personally admit his mistake to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Qiang people were about to surrender, Zuo Wuwei did not continue to kill them all, but still maintained a posture of surrounding the Qiang camp. Once the opponent made any move, he would immediately destroy them.
In this way, the turmoil in Longyou can basically be regarded as coming to an end.
During this period of time, Zhuang Santing was able to walk, but due to excessive blood loss and some symptoms of anemia, Qin Hao still gave him a blood transfusion at Cheng Chumo's request. As for whether Qiang blood would contain
You can't blame him for carrying any hidden viruses. After all, what Yun Ye brought was just a first aid kit, not a modern hospital.
Zhuang Santing was naturally grateful to Qin Hao, and kept calling him benefactor. Qin Hao repeated this several times, but he still insisted, so he let him go.
During this period, Yun Ye's life was much easier. He would check the growth of potatoes in the big tank twice a day, morning and evening.
The growth cycle of potatoes is usually three months. One month has passed and tender green branches have begun to appear in the five large tanks. This makes Cheng Yaojin so happy that he has to lie down next to the large tanks almost every day.
After looking at it for a while, it didn't fall down all day long. It's so precious.
"Boy Yun, look at the branches and leaves of the potatoes in this tank. Are they not as dense as those in the other tanks? Do you need to add some fertilizer?"
Yun Ye has answered this type of question no less than a hundred times, and he is really too lazy to repeat it again.
"Why do you call my senior brother Lord Qin, but when you come to my place, you call me Mr. Yun? Isn't this too unfair?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ye received a slap on the head. Cheng Yaojin slapped Yun Ye with such force that he rolled his eyes.
"You kid, you have the nerve to say that your master is so capable, but you have only learned so much. Although I, Old Cheng, hate those rotten scholars, I still respect those who are truly capable. You are only worthy of Boy Yun.
If you want me to respect you, you can learn your skills from your senior brother."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yun Ye was silent. God knows what his "fellow" knows. Originally, he thought that as an engineer, he knew a lot.
As a result, I, as a "fellow countryman," was even more exaggerated. He seemed to know everything I knew, and he was much more skilled than me. His suturing techniques, even today, some people believe that he is a surgeon.
Facing Cheng Yaojin, Yun Ye completely lost his temper. He could only explain obediently that the potatoes in this jar were planted a little denser and it was normal for the seedlings to grow slower. After repeated assurances that it would not affect the final fruiting of the potatoes in the jar, Cheng
Yaojin then went back to the tent to sleep contentedly.
Another half month later, news came from Chang'an that the wise emperor of the Tang Dynasty graciously forgave the Qiang leader for his rebellion. After the Qiang leader promised never to betray, he not only did not hold him accountable, but instead gave him
After being promoted to a seventh-grade official, of course, you have to stay in Chang'an and work.
As for the leader of the Qiang people, he was succeeded by his son, and he was also his youngest son, a little boy who was less than five years old.
Cheng Yaojin also received an imperial edict. At first, he praised his achievements, and then asked him to "protect" the Qiang people and settle near Lanzhou City.
Of course, in the imperial edict to the Qiang people, the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really couldn't bear to see the Qiang people live their previous wandering life, so he granted them land so that they could live and work in peace and contentment in their new gathering place.
As for whether the Qiang people want to go or not, it is not up to them. As long as there is no word, Cheng Yaojin has a hundred ways to make the Qiang people unable to gather together within ten years and harass the population of Longyou. In terms of killing people
, Cheng Yaojin has never been soft-hearted.
Therefore, the Qiang people reluctantly headed to the hinterland of Lanzhou under the "escort" of the Zuowuwei army.
The departure of the army was definitely bad news for Yun Ye. This was not like in later generations. It took half an hour to reach the destination by train over hundreds of kilometers. Even riding a horse-drawn carriage made him vomit several times. After being seen by Cheng Yaojin,
, another lesson, and the reason is very simple. Qin Hao followed the large army on horseback all the way.
Riding a horse? Yun Ye would rather ride in a car. Although riding in a car will make him vomit, there is a place to shade from the sun. On horseback, he can only resist.
Besides, with his riding skills, it would be easy to fall off the horse and suffer some fractures. If he was trampled to death by the horse behind him, it would be a great embarrassment to the traveler.
Wangcai followed the carriage with small steps. Yun Ye would take out some fried beans for him to enjoy from time to time. In Yun Ye's words, Wangcai was still a child and needed to supplement his nutrition when he was growing.
"Brother, vomit~~~" Yun Ye vomited again. The road was too bumpy. When he was a child, he thought that the dirt road in his hometown was rough enough, until he saw the so-called Chidao.
According to Cheng Chumo, Chidao during the Sui Dynasty was actually not that bad. It was mainly due to years of war. The Thirty-sixth Road rebelled against the king, and the Seventy-twoth Road was full of smoke and dust. They were all busy fighting, and there was no time to repair bridges and roads.
After being abandoned for a long time, it naturally became like this.
"Brother, how long will it take for us to arrive in Lanzhou?" Yun Ye waited for a while before feeling better.
"We should be able to see Lanzhou City in two days, but generally large armies will not enter the city. If we want to see the ancient city, we have to find a way to go out alone."
Yun Ye could only lament Cheng Yaojin's strict military discipline.
Two days later, Yun Ye finally saw the Lanzhou City Wall. It was very different from the majestic giant city he imagined. Not only was it small, but it also looked a bit shabby.
But according to Cheng Chumo's words, Lanzhou City in the Longyou area is already pretty good. The walls of many cities have long been riddled with holes due to years of war. This is also an important reason why the Qiang people can easily succeed in rebellion.
A camp was set up thirty miles outside Lanzhou City.
After Cheng Yaojin made arrangements for the deployment, he immediately rushed outside Qin Hao's tent. At this time, five large tanks were being lifted off the carriage.
"Be careful, this is a treasure. If anyone accidentally drops a leaf for me, be careful with the military stick!"
Finally, the soldiers brought down the five large vats intact. Cheng Yaojin hurriedly lay down beside the vat to check the situation inside, just counting the leaves one by one to see if there were any missing leaves.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the military camp, and soon a patrolling soldier came to report it.
"Reporting to the general, General Niu is leading fifty cavalry outside the camp gate. He has been certified and is in good standing. Do you want to let him go?"
"Oh, old cow, let him in."
Yun Ye quietly approached Qin Hao and whispered: "Could the general named Niu in the Tang Dynasty be Niu Jinda?"
Before Qin Hao could reply, there was a rush of footsteps approaching from far away.
"At the end of the day, Niu came to Da and paid homage to the general."
Cheng Yaojin changed his mind from the arrogance and domineering attitude of the Qiang leader. After he stepped forward to help Niu Jinda, he patted his shoulder: "Old Niu, we brothers still need to do this."
"Etiquette cannot be broken, let alone this is in a military camp." Niu Jinda's dark face was full of seriousness.
Cheng Yaojin didn't care and pulled Niu Jinda to the five large vats.
"Old Niu, look, this is what I told you, it can produce twenty dan of grain per acre."
Niu Jinda held the big vat with both hands. At this time, the potato seedlings had begun to take shape, and the tender green leaves looked full of vitality.
"This thing can really yield twenty dan per month?" Niu Jinda's tone was a little excited.
Cheng Yaojin subconsciously looked at Qin Hao and Yun Ye and nodded. At least so far, Qin Hao and Yun Ye have not said a big word.
"Did they offer these potatoes?" Niu Jinda's eyes also fell on Qin Hao and Yun Ye.
"Exactly, these two are the barons your Majesty has just created..."
Before Cheng Yaojin could introduce him, Niu Jinda walked over with red eyes.
"With such a high yield per acre, why are you donating it now? Do you know how many people this kind of food can save?"
Faced with Niu Jinda's question, Yun Ye was about to explain when Niu Jinda's hands like cattail fans grabbed his shoulders so fast that Yun Ye had no time to dodge, just when he thought he was going to be unlucky again.
Niu Jinda was punched and pushed away.
"Be bold!"
When Niu Jinda's soldiers saw someone dared to hit their coach, they immediately drew their swords.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Yaojin quickly stopped and stepped forward to grab Niu Jinda's hand: "Old Niu, what are you doing?"
Niu Jinda's eyes were bloodshot, but the iron-clad man shed tears.
"If there was such a high yield of food per acre, my parents, brothers and sisters would not starve to death..."
Qin Hao interrupted directly: "With the Sui Dynasty's brutal expropriation, even if there is food with a high yield per mu, they will not leave it to ordinary people, they will only exploit it even more."
He will not take the blame for the feudal dynasty.
"Yes, Lao Niu, you can't blame others for this, not to mention they were just children at that time." Cheng Yaojin also tried to persuade him.
Niu Jinda stopped talking. He just held one of the big tanks and howled loudly. The cry was like that of a night owl, not to mention how unpleasant it was.
From then on, there was another Niu Jinda guarding the five large tanks every morning and evening, and Lao Niu was more perverted than Cheng Yaojin. As long as he came within ten steps of the five large tanks, his alarm radar started buzzing.
As long as he senses who may pose a threat to the vat, he will probably become his dead soul in the next second.
