Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 170 Breaking the Xi Clan
Outside Longquan City, the cavalry of the Xi tribe stood far away, looking at the "cowardly" Bohai soldiers in front of them.In the past 20 days, they shouted and cursed countless times, and people in the city "did not dare" to come out, but now they rushed out.They are asking, did the scolding hit their sore spot?Whoever scolded them is a talent... Generally speaking, the soldiers of the Xi clan are still very proud.

After sizing up, he found that the Bohai soldiers hadn't moved much, so he was restless for a while, and after a while, the horse's head pointed at the Bohai soldiers and charged.

The cavalry of the Xi tribe drove the horses under the crotch to "thump, thump, thump, thump". In normal times, the sound of hooves would be the nightmare of the infantry, but now, the infantry under Duan Hongchen's men are like Like a hunter, he looked at the Xi clan cavalry charging in the distance.

The cavalry of the Xi nationality are mainly rangers. A cavalry usually holds a nomadic bow, a bag of arrows, and a machete. The most terrifying thing is the nomadic bow.

Prairie people rely on horses for a living, and they have practiced since childhood. There is a metaphor of "can't walk, but can ride a horse, can't hold a knife, but still shoots arrows".Therefore, all the rangers of the Xi nationality are masters of riding and archers, and they always have a bow in hand.He shoots arrows when attacking, shoots arrows when confronting, and shoots arrows when running away!Therefore, when the northern nomads arrived in Eastern Europe, they became "God's Whip".

However, this tried and tested artifact has to be greatly discounted here.The reason is that the range of the bow is only half of that of the crossbow!
In other words, before the Rangers came within his range, the Bohai Crossbowmen's crossbow arrows could already hit their heads. With so many short hands, how can we fight this battle?
The people of the Xi clan didn't know what was going on, so they continued to move forward.The leader among them had also seen a crossbow before, and he knew that it was slow to refill, so as long as he resisted the arrow, his cavalry could rush to a closer place to shoot arrows before they fired again.Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, thinking that these Bohai people are really...

Uh?wrong!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

How can it be so fast, how can it be filled so quickly!

The cavalry of the Xi tribe finally rushed into the range, and the crossbow arrows had already been fired for two rounds.

Two rounds, six thousand arrows!And it's a very accurate crossbow bolt!Xu Qing looked on the city wall and saw thousands of cavalrymen, both men and horses suddenly turned over and rolled on the ground.Wave after wave, the cavalry fell like harvesting wheat.He was naturally happy when the enemy died, but Xu Qing couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when the horses died too.

Looking at the battlefield again, the Xi clan cavalry rushed within range and lost half of them.At this time, they had vented their anger on the bow, and the bow was like a full moon, shooting an arrow.

Thousands of arrows shot at the crossbowmen formation!
At this time, the crossbowmen held their crossbows in one hand and took out their round shields in the other, shooting while blocking, and the rest of the pikemen and horizontal swordmen did the same.A round of Xi people's arrows went down, but only a few hundred people were injured by the crossbowmen.

Moreover, when the Xi tribe entered the range of bows and arrows, the crossbow soldiers in the crossbow formation could also shoot arrows with bows.In addition, the fallen corpses slowed down the impact of the Xi cavalry, but in an instant, more than 1000 Xi cavalry were killed, and they only shot two arrows!
"Withdraw!" The deadly leader of the Xi clan shouted, and the Xi clan fled in all directions as if they had been pardoned.

"Chasing!" Duan Hongchen shouted boldly.Although it is said that the poor should not pursue, but the enemy has already been weakened by a great deal of power, so it doesn't hurt to chase after it.In fact, where two legs can catch up with four legs, except for the cavalry, everyone else just rushed to the battlefield to grab the spoils.

The rule of the Mohe people is that what is robbed is all personal income, and it is not handed over to the public for redistribution, but after the individual gets it, he will pay taxes.

The Xi tribe fled in a hurry, and there were only a few hundred cavalry left.That night, the smell of horse meat at Longquan City Gate wafted ten miles away.A lot of war horses died, and they could not be released for a long time. Xu Qing's Bohai soldiers distributed the horse meat to the people in the city.The most critical force in this battle - the "crossbow", was made by the common people together. The so-called draft does not forget the well digger, that's it.

Military and civilian celebrations!

After defeating the Xi tribe, the resistance forces inside and outside the Bohai Kingdom finally fell silent. Duan Hongchen called out again, and half a person from Cangzhou came out——Bohai Guohaoyou.Haoyou is the local aristocratic family.

In order to win over these powerful rightists, Duan Hongchen added a lot of "clear" officials to the small court in Bohai.Of course, these "clear and important" officials are just famous names, but they are actually useless.

Pieces of farmland around Longquan Mansion have been reclaimed, and there are abandoned fields, but most of them are old fields. In this way, Longquan Mansion has a prosperous scene again.During the period of the Five Kingdoms, the monarchs enjoyed the advantages of the agricultural society, but promoted the production method of nomadic tribes. For several years, the people in Bohai Sea hardly did farming, but raised cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains. Those who had no cattle and sheep drove a group of chickens and ducks all over the mountains and plains. put.

Most of the people who migrated to Longquan Mansion are individual grazing households. They have lived a hard life as nomads, and now they want to return to their fields and live a stable life.They sold the cattle and sheep in exchange for rations, opened up farmland outside Longquan Mansion, and planted late rice. Although it was an hour late, if they were planted properly, they could still receive [-]% to [-]% of the grain.The farmland has been deserted for so long, it must be!

There are also some local tyrants, some of whom migrated to Longquan Mansion in order to control or influence the center of Bohai State.

Some Haoyou were unwilling to move over, and set down roots in the other three prefectures in order to occupy one side of the local power.With the establishment of the new Bohai State and the downfall of the old forces, who wouldn't want to take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie?

In fact, the most coveted thing is that Duan Hongchen has no son, only a young daughter.Although Mohe's restraint on women is much less than that in the Central Plains, women's status is still not high. No one thought that Xu Qi could inherit the throne of Bohai King.

But a country cannot be without a king, and Duan Hongchen will never give the throne to outsiders, so who will inherit the throne?There is still only Xu Qi... But at this time, there will be another situation, that is, Xu Qi will inherit the throne and become the queen, and Xu Qi's husband will inherit the throne and become the cabinet leader.

Xu Qi was young and the Bohai Kingdom was first established. Now is the critical moment to seize the position of "First Husband"!

Of course, Duan Hongchen was at its peak in Spring and Autumn, so it was no problem to regenerate a few.No one can say for sure, but for a while, women from Haoyou's family "unintentionally" appeared in the Longquan Palace from time to time.In the end, some of them were packaged and delivered on their own initiative.What about breaking the world of mortals?

Duan Hongchen refused one by one.Then the following show:

"Confess Princess Qilan, the national treasure of Bohai, as the prince's son, inherit the throne of Bohai, and build an army of one thousand sons."

With the order of the king who broke the world, all the people in the Bohai Sea were speechless.Not only has Xu Qi's succession status been confirmed, but Xu Qi's exclusive army has also been established. It seems that this is determined to be a queen.

Sure enough, the outsiders were easy to accept the queen, and Zhong Haoyou didn't even think about objecting. After understanding what Duan Hongchen meant, they busily discussed together and came up with a plan——

"In order to improve the overall quality of the heirs of the kingdom, we hired well-known teachers from the Central Plains to give lectures to Princess Baoqilan."

Not only that, they justly said:
"In order to let the princess learn happily, we selected children who are about the same age as Princess Baoqilan in the family, hoping to study with the princess!"

In order to accompany Xu Qi to study, Zhonghao rightly selected fifty children.

Duan Hongchen didn't know where they were thinking, but Duan Hongchen nodded and agreed to this, after all learning is a good thing.

It was time to go to class, which made Xu Qi very depressed.Because I have to go to class, I can't ride Xu Qing every day. That's right, I just ride Xu Qing.Every day, Xu Qi climbed onto Xu Qing's neck by herself, wandered around, patted Xu Qing on the head and ran away, pulled her ears, and Xu Qing stopped.

"Xu Qing, I don't want to go to class, I want to play with you." Sitting on Xu Qing's shoulder, Xu Qi murmured while pulling Xu Qing's hair.

"Go, go, anyway, it's only half a day..." Xu Qing took Xu Qi off, but Xu Qi held Xu Qing tightly.

"I don't, you are leaving after the battle..."

It's hard to say goodbye when we meet each other, Xu Qi is afraid that Xu Qing is like in a dream, disappearing as soon as we meet.

Xu Qing was silent, he actually didn't want to leave Xu Qi with him, but there was no other way, and it was impossible for him to leave Xun Xueer.The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, don't you feel bad about losing that piece?Can I just spend more time with you now?

After a while, Xu Qing said:

"How about I accompany you to class?"

Xu Qi nodded, as a tacit consent to this temporary compromise. As for what will happen in the future, Xu Qi chose to avoid this answer.

The two held hands and entered the teaching garden.This teaching garden was specially drawn by Duan Hongchen to teach Xu Qi, and the accompanying students and teachers are already waiting by the side.

At this time, in the eagerly awaited readers, Princess Baoqilan...has finally arrived!

There is no extravagant and exaggerated ostentation as imagined, no scene of shouting and hugging, just one person waiting on the side.Princess Baoqilan came to Jiaoyuan almost alone!Then, wouldn't there be more opportunities to get close to Princess Baoqilan?

At the gate of the second gate of the Jiaoyuan, a group of noble and right children occupied the best position and waited there.

They want to leave their best side to Princess Baoqilan at the first time!
As Xu Qi got closer, the crowd became violently agitated.This Princess Baoqilan has long been famous for being sympathetic to the people, and has recently been designated as the heir to the throne. In the streets and alleys, in the mountains and in the wild, almost everyone is talking about this Princess Baoqilan, and some people even say , Bohai was invincible when it was restored, and it was all the auspiciousness brought by Princess Baoqilan.

In the whole country, no one said a bad word about her!This point, even the current king of Bohai, Duan Hongchen, can't do it!
But when Xu Qi got closer, the accompanying readers realized something was wrong. They found that the waiter was unusual.Originally they thought that Xu Qi came alone, but Xu Qing, who was standing beside Xu Qi, was directly ignored by the princess's attendant.

Someone asked:
He...how did they hold their hands together?
