Chapter 401 Liu Guo Wants to "Learn From the Scriptures"

Yan Zhengqing led the army to break into Wuyang County unimpeded all the way, and then entered Wuyang City unimpeded all the way. The once prosperous Wuyang City now only has broken walls, traces of artillery fire still exist, and some rotting corpses lying quietly in the corner.

In today's Wuyang City, there are not many people to be seen; the rest are poor people who have nowhere to go.

Because Wuyang City is sandwiched between all parties, it has not been occupied; but also because it is sandwiched between all parties, and supplies are scarce, there is now a hell on earth. Fortunately, this place will belong to Anyang from now on; seeing the army of Anyang coming, the remaining common people simply lined up to welcome them—poor people, give me some food.

Yan Zhengqing had just entered Wuyang City, and before he was ready to go to the hometown of "Eldest Princess Li Xiaotao", he received a message—Gao Bin, the governor of Songzhou County, asked to see him!

Gao Bin, Anyang high-level officials are no strangers to Gao Bin. Xu Ren, Anyang's number one counselor, once served under Gao Bin; therefore, everyone in Anyang is also very concerned about Gao Bin.

Of course, with more attention, everyone's evaluation of Gao Bin is constantly decreasing.

But this time Gao Bin visited according to the etiquette, and Yan Zhengqing didn't make things too difficult for the other party, so he met Gao Bin in the tent.

After the meeting, Gao Bin was also very straightforward, without going around at all, "Marshal Yan, if I surrender, what kind of treatment can Anyang give me?"

Yan Zhengqing was not surprised, this situation was completely expected. "You can keep your family, five hundred armed forces, give you the status of ordinary people in Anyang, and add two million taels of gold. If you live in Anyang, you must abide by the laws of Anyang.

In addition, you can also leave Anyang with two million taels of gold and give up your identity as a commoner in Anyang.

Also, you can take away the gold and silver treasures in the city lord's mansion now; but the grain and livelihood materials in the granary must not be damaged! "

The conditions are very favorable! Because Anyang did not restrict Gao Bin's freedom, nor did he confiscate Gao Bin's wealth!

"I agree!" This condition was much better than what Gao Bin thought. And there was another reason that Gao Bin made up his mind to surrender to Anyang—there were many people who surrendered to Anyang before, and these people lived well in Anyang, and even under the environment of Anyang, they could still be protected.

Of course, those who surrendered were looked down upon and could not be reused by the government, which is what should happen.

Yan Zhengqing didn't pay much attention to Gao Bin's surrender, because Gao Bin had long been a grasshopper after autumn. After entrusting these matters to the soldiers, Yan Zhengqing led some elites to head south to explore the real goal this time - uranium mines!

Only Yan Zhengqing and a very small number of people knew about this matter. Many people thought that Yan Zhengqing was going to inspect the situation in Wuyang County and take over Songzhou County.

After only advancing for more than 50 miles, we arrived at the target; when Yan Zhengqing arrived, he could still see many "gem-gathering" people. Uranium ore is known as the rose of the Kuangshi family. Many uranium ores are indeed beautiful; moreover, ordinary uranium ore is not harmful, and the radiation is not as good as sunlight.

"Send the order, don't disturb these people to collect gems, continue to go south, and control this place secretly. Also, don't get close to within 10 kilometers!" Yan Zhengqing ordered one by one, there are still 100,000 yuan between the uranium ore and the nuclear fuel. There is a gap of eight thousand miles, and there are not many gems collected by these people, just a drop in the bucket.

In addition, uranium ore is not dangerous, but uranium ore is very dangerous - there are too many ores, the accumulated radiation, etc., and the dust generated when mining gemstones are all harmful, so Yan Zhengqing strictly ordered not to approach within 10 kilometers.

Not only that, Yan Zhengqing also sent someone to tell the people here not to panic, Anyang will not disturb the people's livelihood; of course, for the crimes here, Anyang will carry out a trial, in order to create an upright image of Anyang, and use the blood of the wicked to create a rule of the new regime.

After that, the army continued to go south, and this was the real way to take over Songzhou County.

As for Hou Xia, Yan Zhengqing had long since ignored her. Now in Houxia, only half of Nanyang County is left, dying, and there is still a small half of Guangling County, where the people are struggling.

Qi State launched an attack from the west, and Qi State, which adapted to the laws of war in the machine age, broke out the background of a great country. There is still Anyang's constant squeeze in the east.

Now the territory of Houxia is like a long belt, sandwiched between Anyang and Qi; it is like beans between the millstones, which may turn into soy milk at any time.

But at the last moment, Qi State did not continue to attack!

Do not directly border Anyang! This is the suggestion of He Zhiguo, Prime Minister of Qi State, to keep Hou Xia as a buffer for both parties.

…………

At this moment, a dispute was going on in the court of Qi State. Prime Minister He Zhiguo, who had just returned from Anyang, immediately called for an end to the war.

"We can no longer develop to the east, leaving Hou Xia as a buffer, otherwise we will be like Jin.

Our eyes should be looking west. To the west of us, there are large and small countries such as Rong State, Huang State, and Baishan State, and Anyang's arms have begun to appear in these countries.

Chen believes that we should now expand our area as much as possible before these countries develop. With the 500,000 elite army already equipped with arms in the country, it only takes three months to push the country's territory to the west, southwest, and northwest by three thousand miles, which is enough to more than double our country's territory! "

"Is Anyang scary?" Grand Master Dong Jingrong was a bit apprehensive—the influence of Prime Minister He Zhiguo has been increasing recently.

He Zhiguo did not look at Dong Jingrong, but looked at the Emperor of Qi, "Your Majesty, may I ask how many taels of gold were there in the net income of the treasury last year?"

The emperor of Qi didn't even think about it: "The net income is less than 12 million taels."

"Your Majesty, the starting price of an old-fashioned ironclad ship in Anyang is 15 million taels of gold. The starting price of a telescope in Anyang is 3 million taels of gold. The price of a kilogram of medicine that has a century-old medicinal effect in Anyang is 500,000 taels of gold. A set in Anyang Basic machine tools cost five million taels of gold. Anyang's arms are in short supply.

Anyang built a railway, investing tens of millions of taels of gold, and Anyang is planning to build three railways; it is said that Anyang is also planning to dredge all the channels of the Xiandai River, investing 20 million taels of gold.

Your Majesty, do you think we should rob Anyang? As long as it succeeds, Anyang's wealth is enough to support our fifty-year war! "

"Eh..." The Emperor of Qi wiped off the cold sweat that was oozing faintly, "Forget it, let's stop the war in the east, and let's develop to the west. The prime minister's vision is long-term and profound!"

Grand Master Dong Jingrong was not to be outdone: "Your Majesty, we can accept Houxia as a vassal state. In this way, we can build a defense line through Houxia. Moreover, there are many technologies and talents in Houxia, and we can also absorb them."

"Hey... this method is good!" The emperor of Qi State was moved immediately, it sounds very profitable.

He Zhiguo did not object this time, but remained silent. Give others a chance to show off, otherwise you will make yourself appear too strong and offend many people. Moreover, He Zhiguo always felt a little uneasy about accepting Xia as a vassal state; although it seemed that it was full of benefits, wasn't the benefit a little too perfect?

As a politician, I have an instinctive vigilance against any "perfect" things! So perfect, perfect like a daydream!

There must be a place I didn't think of! He Zhiguo frowned slightly. Because he had stayed in Anyang for a long time, He Zhiguo was instinctively wary of Anyang. He Zhiguo dared to pat his chest and said that Anyang is definitely not a duty-bound existence, but a fierce tiger that is grinding its teeth and might roar proudly in the mountains and forests at any time.

So, what makes you uneasy?

There were still discussions around, but He Zhiguo was already deep in thought.

Accepting Hou Xia as a vassal state, now it seems that there is no difficulty at all!

It is no problem to use Hou Xia as Qi's barrier, political, economic and military barriers as the first line of defense against Anyang!

Hou Xia also has some talents and technologies in China, and it is perfect to use these things for his own use.

Later Xia also has some general talents, such as Shangguan Guang and Nangong Zhi, these are all talents, very good!

What is it that has not been considered?

Relying on his political instinct, He Zhiguo felt that there was a problem, but he couldn't think of the problem for a while.

While He Zhiguo was thinking, the emperor of Qi State had already made a decision to send Grand Master Dong Jingrong to go on an envoy in the latter summer, preparing to receive this rich fruit.

…………

During the discussion in the court of Qi State, in the negotiating hall of Xiao State, Yuan Yong looked coldly at Zhang Quan in front of him.

Surrounding them, the whole body of Xiao Guo's masters tensed up, just in case something happened, the atmosphere at the scene was so tense that it could break steel.

Zhang Quan turned pale, but he looked at Yuan Yong firmly, "Uncle Yuan, you are also known as an evergreen tree in politics, and you should be familiar with political matters."

"I'm no stranger!" Yuan Yong's face was cold, "But since you're talking about politics, do you know one thing, the right to speak in politics is not the politicians, but the power behind the politicians.

Does the power behind you allow you to speak like this? "

These words are very blunt. There is an attitude of the elders towards the younger generation, and there is also the arrogance of the strong towards the weak. It also implies a kind of "pointing and scolding" - you Xiao Guo can't do it! I'm afraid that Xiao Guo can't protect you, Zhang Quan!

Zhang Quan clenched his fists, feeling fear and anger, but he had no regrets—because it was useless, Zhang Quan stubbornly raised his head and said word by word: "I, no, regret, regret! This is politics, always Someone needs to fall, and someone always needs to die!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Yuan Yong laughed angrily, "I won't embarrass you this time, I sincerely hope that your words of 'no regrets' can last forever."

After all, Yuan Yong was Yuan Yong, and the hatred of killing his son was suppressed abruptly; and then he started negotiations wholeheartedly on the basis of Anyang's interests. But Yuan Yong's behavior made Zhang Quan's father, Zhang Yuan, secretly chill - the person who knows how to be silent is the most terrifying!

Next, Yuan Yong plenipotentiary negotiated many issues with Anyang and Xiao Liming, including the opening of business, technical exchanges, arms transactions, etc., and the establishment of a united front to jointly face attacks from various countries in the west.

Of course Xiao Liming knew that Anyang would not be a "good man", but the current Xiao Guo was indeed "untimely" and was under attack from all directions.

This negotiation lasted for more than a day; in the end, both parties signed and stamped with satisfaction.

Only Zhang Yuan looked at Yuan Yong's smile, and his heart kept sinking, sinking again! During the whole day of negotiation, father and son Zhang Yuan and Zhang Quan were frightened by Yuan Yong's "smiling" eyes. Sometimes smiling is scarier than being mean!

"Xiao Guo, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our father and son, we need to find another way of life as soon as possible!" Zhang Yuan began to mutter in his heart.

…………

And at the same time, in Anyang in the east, Han Yuanchang, the Prime Minister of the Liu Kingdom, found Li Xian and wanted to learn from him—to exchange legal system and laws with Anyang!

Li Xian was surprised, really surprised, what kind of country is Liu Guo? It is the only country in the east of Yingzhou that adopts Legalism. Gongsun Wushang, the Minister of Justice of Anyang, is from Liu Guo! It was brought back by Chang Lin, the commander of the navy, from Liu Guo.

Moreover, Anyang's Encyclopedia of Laws, etc., can be bought in major bookstores; Judicial Square also has special personnel responsible for "literacy". Under such circumstances, many people who come to Anyang to study law do not need to consult Anyang officials at all—self-study is enough.

But Han Yuanchang, the Prime Minister of the State of Liu, not only found the Anyang official, but also directly found Li Xian.

Monthly pass, monthly pass, today is the last day to double the monthly pass.

Also, the development of the new book "Aowu Shenzhou" has been harvested.
