Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 961

Chapter 82 You can only use gold and iron horses, never use morality
Gold, all remelted gold ingots.Each piece is 100 taels, and these gold ingots are placed on the shelves in the dark room, densely packed.

Chen Ying looked at the long corridor, which was covered with golden light.

Walking along the corridor, the place you pass is a golden road.

Even if Chen Ying is rich.

Even if he is already wealthy at this time.

Even though money is just a number to him, Chen Ying still feels his heart beat faster when he sees so much gold.

"Heavenly fortune!"

Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said, "What's the matter with all this gold?"

Ma Zhou bowed and said: "My lord, one year ago, the five Nubi Teqin Yaogeluo of the West Turks led more than [-] people to surrender to our Anxi Governor's Mansion. The Ottoman secret service led the remnants of the Eastern Turks to flee to the northwest. We monitored them through Anxi according to the intention of the Lord. However, Yao Geluo suddenly disappeared, and his son Kasur reported to the Anxi Governor's Office that his father's disappearance may be related to their west. Turkic treasures related to..."

Chen Ying could find out that there were no traces of the things Ma Zhou mentioned in history.According to Kasur.The Turks fell into Changsun Sheng's tricks, and were secretly fueled by Pei Ju, and finally split into two parts, East and West.In particular, in the seventh year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, the Turkic Apo Khan Daluo was captured alive by Yehu Khan's Luohou.A descendant of Lidatou Khan of Western Turkic was Nili Khan who succeeded him.

After Nili Khan succeeded to the throne, he tried his best to restore the East and West Turks and recast the glory of the Great Turks.During this time, he began to secretly stockpile gold and silver goods, and joined forces with the Persian Sasanian Empire to destroy the Heda Empire, the overlord of Central Asia, and divide up the wealth accumulated by the Heda Empire for a hundred years.

Subsequently, this wealth was reserved by Nili Khan, and it was prepared to be used as the start-up capital for recasting the Turks in the future.However, in the 13th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign (593), he joined forces with Sabolo Khan's wife, Princess Dayi, to attack the border of the Sui Dynasty, but failed because Princess Dayi was killed by Dulan Khan Yong Yulu.In the third year of Renshou, Shibi Khan of the Eastern Turks united with the Tiele tribe and defeated Nili Khan.Following the death of Nili Khan, the plan to recast Turks did not stop. The successor Western Turk Khans all started this plan to reserve gold, silver, steel, gems, and food.

However, there were unpredictable circumstances, and he was ambitious to rule Yehu Khan, and his martial arts surpassed the Khans of all dynasties.In order to consolidate the hegemony of the Turks in Central Asia, Tong Yehu included the kings of the Western Regions into the military administrative system, awarded the official title of "Jielijiao", and sent another Tutun stationed to monitor and supervise the collection of taxes.In addition, the Khanate's political center of gravity was moved westward, and Xinya was placed in Qianquan (near Tokmak) in Shiguo to directly control the strategically important Suiba River and Atami Road on the Silk Road.

However, Tong Yehu Khan was defeated by Chen Ying when he planned to attack Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty.With the hasty death of Tong Yehu, he did not line up the heirs of the Western Turkic Khan, thus leaving the Western Turkic Khan vacant and falling apart.In this case, Wu Nubit and Qin Yaogeluo led the tribe to guard the treasures of the Western Turks in Jinwei Mountain.

However, the vegetation in this Jinwei Mountain is very sparse, Wunubitqin Yaogeluo can't support himself at all, and there is no Western Turkic Khan to provide him with supplies.

However, Yao Geluo never reported this treasure to the Anxi Governor's Mansion.

However, Zhi Sifali, Osman and others who fled somehow knew the treasure of West Turkic, so they secretly sent someone to hold Yao Geluo hostage and ordered him to open the treasure of Western Turkic.

Fortunately, Yaogeluo's son reported the matter to the Anxi Dufu in time, and Su Dingfang led his troops to raid Jinwei Mountain at the first time, intercepting most of the Turkic treasures. However, some of the treasures were still captured. Ottoman snatched.

Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and asked, "How many troops are there under Osman's command now?"

Ma Zhou thought for a while and said, "According to the military newspaper, Osman never had more than 5000 troops at that time, among which there were no more than [-] or [-] high-end vehicles."

Chen Ying smiled wryly.

The tall chariots of Gaocheren are two-wheeled carriages with a wheel diameter of about four feet and a load of about [-] or even [-] catties.It is far more than a four-wheeled carriage. The key is that forty or fifty carriages loaded with gold are very powerful. Osman can steal at least forty or fifty tons of gold.

Pointing at the gold, Ma Zhou said, "We got the gold and recast it immediately. All of them are 100 taels, totaling 13 taels."

Chen Ying nodded.

In the Tang Dynasty, a catty was 680 grams, which is equivalent to nearly [-] tons of yellow catties.In addition to gold, there are also a large number of rare antique jade and gold tree silver flowers, pearls, jadeite, agate, and Hetian jade that can be called works of art. Of course, there is no shortage of fine silk and copper that can be used directly as currency. Fresh Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Kaiyuan Tongbao was cast at the end of the third year of Wude. Unexpectedly, you can see hundreds of thousands of Kaiyuan Tongbao here. You must know that Datang can only cast 60 million Kaiyuan Tongbao a year. So far, it has cast more than [-]. .

Chen Ying has never been short of money, and he is used to seeing gold, silver and jewelry for a long time, but he is still amazed.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "Gold and silver are just a bunch of useless precious metals. They can neither be eaten nor drunk. We can use the money we have. All the soldiers of the Anxi Army will issue four more sets each." Cold clothes, four sets of summer clothes, and three more years of military pay!"

Ma Zhou shook his head and said, "The money seems to be a lot, but it is far from enough to repair the road!"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "If such an astonishing treasure falls into my private pocket, it will never fall into my private pocket. If the benefits are shared, everyone will be happy!"

……

While Chen Ying was looking into the treasury with a proud face, Lu Zhikun, the Sicang Counselor of the Anxi Protectorate Mansion who was waiting for Chen Ying to summon him in the Protectorate Mansion, was wolfing down a big hoof that was roasted shiny and fragrant. gnawing.

Originally thought that when Lu Zhikun came to Anxi, even if he did not die, his skin would peel off.After all, he used to belong to Li Shimin, and he followed Changsun Wuji to Anxi to seize power.

Later, Li Shimin failed, and Changsun Wuji was cut in half in Chang'an City. Lu Zhikun was afraid of being settled by Qiu Hou, and was terrified every day.However, Chen Ying never thought about someone like Lu Zhikun at all.

He worked hard for more than half a year, and before the officials came to arrest him, Lu Zhikun began to break his jars, eat and drink a lot every day, and used the money he had saved to take concubines crazily.During these three years, Lu Zhikun took over 800 concubines. These concubines included people from Kucha, Gaochang, Tuyuhun, and Tubo. Of course, the most were from the Persian Sasanian Empire. Beauty.He entered the bridal chamber almost every day and was the groom every night.

He ate and drank wildly almost every day, but due to too much physical exertion, he didn't gain any weight. Instead, he lost a lot of weight, and even his chin was exposed.

After eating a big elbow that weighed more than three catties, Lu Zhikun still felt a little hungry. Now that Chen Ying came, could this meal be his last.

Finally, he was summoned by Chen Ying. Lu Zhikun was wearing a scarlet official robe, but his expression was tense and his whole body shrank, showing no official authority at all.

"Lu Canjun, you don't have to be nervous. This general doesn't eat people." Chen Ying walked in with a smile, pointed to an empty seat next to Ma Zhou and said, "Are you hungry? Come and eat!"

"I...a lowly official...don't dare!" Lu Zhikun said timidly.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "You won't be worried, the general has poisoned this dish to kill you, right?"

"No, General Chen is definitely not such a person!" Lu Zhikun swallowed hard, probably really hungry, he grabbed a hoof and gnawed fiercely regardless of his image.

"Don't worry, eat slowly." Chen Yinghao sat down beside him in a leisurely manner, and watched Lu Zhikun eat with a smile.

At this moment, a burst of loud laughter came: "Where is General Chen, I miss you so much!"

It was none other than Zhang Huaiwei who had a lifelong friendship with Chen Ying.

Then, Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui, Guo Xiaoke, Duan Zhigan and others came to the hall one after another.

Men naturally have a man's way of friendship. Chen Ying directed the servants to serve wine and food, and everyone had no scruples, and they ate and drank freely.

After that, it took about half an hour.

Everyone was full of wine and food, and they couldn't help but put down their bowls and chopsticks, staring at Chen Ying.

Chen Ying looked at the generals and said, "Originally, this general thought that this day would last for a long time, but now the time has come. Hu people are meaningless, no matter what promises they make, they are all rubbish. As long as they are strong, they will immediately tear up the agreement and directly use iron hoofs to determine the ownership of this piece of land! I have already seen these habits of the Hu people clearly. To deal with them, you can only use gold and iron horses , but cannot use moral faith!"

War, in the final analysis, is to fight for national power and strength.

Originally, if Chen Ying did not rely on Chang'an's power to launch the Great Western Expedition, it would take half a year or even longer to prepare.

However, due to the windfall, he got the treasures of the Turks, so he no longer has to worry about sending troops and military expenses.
