Chapter 638 Mature
Government affairs are repaired internally, and military equipment is reorganized externally.
Jiang Hao was the first to attack Shache's soldiers.
He has several army officers under him, Pang Xiong, Cheng Yong, Du Bin, Ke Ji, and Luo Weina. Originally, each of them had only a hundred people under him. Now Jiang Hao plans to equip each of them with two thousand Shache soldiers.
The five were directly promoted from military marquis to school lieutenant, and they were already considered generals.
Cheng Yong still served as the leader of the scouts.
This is a reward and a test for them. If they can manage the two thousand people well, they may have greater development in the future. If they can't even manage the two thousand people well, then it can only be said that their level is at this point until.
Only those who can keep up with the pace will go further.
Jiang Hao subdued another group of Shache officials. After careful selection, some who were familiar with the local conditions continued to manage the political affairs of Shache. He appointed the former prime minister as the prime minister of Shache to help the queen manage government affairs.
Of course, in some parts also placed their own people.
For Shache, Jiang Hao plans to implement the policy of two centers and one basic point. The two centers are to firmly control the military and finances. One basic point is that as long as they do not rebel, they can let the Shache people manage themselves, so that it is easier for them to return to their hearts.
A decree was promulgated to exempt Shache from taxes for one year and reduce taxes for two years to appease the refugees to return to their hometowns and try their best to let them spend this winter.
After half a month of busy work, Jiang Hao finally straightened out the affairs of Shache, and the reorganization of Shache troops was completed, leaving 4,000 Kucha soldiers to guard Shache. Other government affairs continued as usual, and then he set off again with the army .
This time, the team was much larger, with a total of 26,000 soldiers and horses.
Naturally, Di Linaza would also follow. As for the gold and silver treasures in the treasure house of Shache Palace, Jiang Hao would not let them go.
Gold and silver are what I want, and space is also what I want; you cannot have both, and those who give up gold and silver and take space.
The gold and silver disappeared, and Jiang Hao's space increased little by little. After absorbing all of them, Jiang Hao's space increased by half a cubic meter, and the current space has increased to 2.5 cubic meters.
Don't underestimate the increased half a cubic meter. You must know that in modern time and space, Jiang Hao needs to spend 400 million, or US dollars, to increase the half cubic meter.
In the battle of Jiang Hao's attack on Shache, he robbed a piece of land, the throne, the population, and gold and silver. It can be said that he made a lot of money.
The most important thing is that his investment is only a few hundred people at the beginning, and the later stage is financing, borrowing troops from various countries, and only relying on his mouth to fool him. In the later stage, he will not pay dividends to others, and only have a long-term plan.
Is this the highest level of investment?
From Shache to Kucha, there is an extremely long road, even if it is a short cut, it is more than a thousand miles. Jiang Hao searched Shache and finally got together a man and two horses.
26,000 people, 50,000 horses, food supplies, etc., are definitely a huge team.
Winter is the best season in Taklimakan. The temperature during the day is a few degrees, and it can drop to more than ten degrees at night. It is extremely cold, but it is also the time when the wind and sand are the least.
It is impossible to march in a hurry when the team is too big. Even a cavalry team can only advance seventy or eighty miles a day. This journey will take about 20 days, which is about the same time as the reinforcements from Kucha.
At night, the team was stationed in a Populus euphratica forest, and clumps of fires were lit to keep the soldiers warm and the horses huddled together to avoid the cold.
Jiang Hao sat on a fallen Populus euphratica tree with a fire next to him, staring at the rising flames in a daze, thinking about the future, when suddenly a figure came over.
Jiang Hao looked up and found that it was Princess Dilinaza. The princess was holding a silver bowl in her hand, steam was rising from the bowl, and the wind was blowing a furry cloak, her little face was flushed with cold, "Mr. You have boiled milk tea, drink some to warm your body."
In fact, Jiang Hao has the skill of not being afraid of the cold. Although it is more than ten degrees below zero in the field, he doesn't feel sad. He reached out to take the silver bowl and said with a smile: "I am really flattered to be served by Her Majesty the Queen."
Dina smiled slightly, leaned into Jiang Hao and whispered, "You are my king."
Since destroying Shache and capturing Shache King, Dina is obviously much happier than before. Unlike before, she always has a feeling of hiding herself, and now she has completely opened her heart to Jiang Hao.
He patted the stake next to him, "Sit here."
Dina obediently sat next to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao stretched out his arms to wrap his furry body. The orange flame made Dina's beautiful face hazy.
A pair of big eyes kept secretly looking at Jiang Hao, and the long eyelashes flickered up and down, charming and seductive.
"Are you ready to marry me?" Jiang Hao said with his lips pressed against Dina's crystal-clear ears. When his lips touched, Dina couldn't help but shrink her neck.
However, Dina did not evade Jiang Hao's teasing. The character of a woman from the Western Regions made her more direct, and she took the initiative to put her face on Jiang Hao's.
"Lang Jun wants Dina at any time. In fact, Dina's heart has already been given to him. It just depends on when he comes to pick it." Dina said with narrowed eyes.
This love story is intoxicating.
Just depends on when you come to pick.
pick!
Women love to listen to love words, but men are more likely to be moved by love words.
Men like to conquer, and they spend their whole lives fighting. A woman's love words can satisfy a man's self-esteem, and a woman's dependence will make a man have a strong desire for protection, and a heart of love will arise spontaneously.
Strength cannot conquer a man, gentleness is the most powerful net.
Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes, rubbed his nose against Dina's face, and said, "I want to prepare a dowry for you to marry you, and the Kingdom of Kucha is my dowry."
"Well~~ I'll wait for my husband to marry me."
The march was arduous, and the desert march was even more difficult, but they finally survived. For 18 days, they endured drought and severe cold, and finally walked out of the Taklamakan and came to the border of Kucha.
Kucha is only two hundred miles away from the Tashi Bandit Village, and now that Jiang Hao has returned with his troops, he summoned Su Mu to bring his people to gather early.
When Su Mu and Niu Kaishan saw the endless army, although they had already reported that there were 26,000 troops, they were still extremely shocked when they saw it.
"The general is really powerful. After going out for a while, in just three or four months, he has created such a huge army." Niu Kaishan sighed.
"It's more than powerful. I don't know how much thought the general has put into controlling such a mixed coalition army. It's much more difficult than just controlling an army of tens of thousands of people." Su Mu sighed deeply.
Su Mu looked at the tents all over the mountains and plains, and the pressure in his heart suddenly increased. The general sent a letter saying that he had to come over quickly to help manage the logistics. The logistics of 500 people can be handled by himself, but the logistics manager of 30,000 people involves so many countries. And the army, can you do well by yourself?
The two led a hundred people into the camp on horseback, and let the others rest beside them. They walked to the big tent on foot, opened the curtain, and saw Jiang Hao sitting in the main seat and looking at the map. He didn't know what he was planning.
"General, here we come." Both of them bowed in unison.
Jiang Hao raised his head and smiled at the two of them, "Okay, since you're here, get ready to work hard."
"At the command of the general." The two responded together.
Jiang Hao first said to Su Mu, "From now on, I will seal you as Sima and take over the logistics affairs of the army. I was in charge of those before, and now I will hand over all the logistics personnel to you. If there is anything you don't understand, you can directly ask me , you will take over within a month, I am a general, it is impossible to even take care of the logistics, I am too tired."
"Yes, General."
Jiang Hao looked at Niu Kaishan again, and said: "In the previous battle of Shache, they all got 2,000 prisoners. Pang Xiong and the others were rectifying their army along the way. Although there were some minor problems, they basically went smoothly. .
As for you, I will promote you to be a school lieutenant first, but you are just a bare-bones man. When Kucha is captured, there will probably be soldiers equipped for you. "
Niu Kaishan smiled, "Then let me see how they rectify it first, learn from the strengths of all the families, and when I figure it out, I can avoid a lot of trouble."
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded Niu Kaishan, "You are the only one out of your mind."
Let Niu Kaishan go to meet other people, leaving Su Mu to ask, "Is there any news from Samoyed recently?"
"Yes, there was a message from Samoyed three days ago. The king of Kucha should have known the news of Shache's defeat. Because the people of Kucha rebelled, all the former generals of Kucha were imprisoned, and all the Kucha troops were driven to Luntai. And Xincheng, there are only 3,000 Shache soldiers left in Kucha City." Su Muhui reported.
Jiang Hao sneered, "The way to die is the end of fusion after inability to invade. The two sides don't trust each other and just blindly push and squeeze. Once something happens, they will naturally fall apart."
The next day, Jiang Hao called all the generals to hold a meeting, pointed to the map and said, "Now Kucha is right in front of us, and the King of Kucha already knows we are coming. I am going to split up into two groups and take the lead in capturing Luntai and Xincheng. Time is running out." , we must make a quick decision.”
"Yes, Chief Protector."
rumbling,
The 10,000 troops on each side approached Luntai and Xincheng with force, and the remaining 6,000 troops in the middle oppressed the city of Kucha, making him dare not move.
The new king of Kucha stood at the top of the city, looking at the dark cavalry outside, his heart was colder than the cold wind blowing outside, he knew that Kucha could not stop the army in front of him, even if the city of Kucha was three feet high, it would always One day it will be broken.
The new king of Kucha turned to look at his prime minister and asked, "The Huns will send troops to rescue us, right?"
The prime minister paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "I think the Huns will come. We paid tribute to King Youxian with so many gold, silver, cattle, sheep and beauties. If King Youxian still wants to conquer the Western Regions, he can't watch us being killed by the Han people." Kill him, that will damage his reputation and the reputation of the Huns."
"The general protection of the Han people united with the countries of the Western Regions. Now it is not just a matter of Kucha and Shache, but a war between the Han people and the Huns."
