Chapter 476: Western Expedition

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 If you really want to take action, Jiangnan is also very weak - the poor and lower-middle peasants and tenants are not idiots and brainless. After a few times, it is of course obvious that the masters are using them as spearmen, and the Shengming Emperor is also targeting these masters.

It's not that they are miserable haha. Of course they quit, so the chaos is not big at all - there were military households in the south, but they have been exhausted after only a few decades.

The prince of Nan'an County also destroyed the army he used to suppress the barbarians in the south. The decent army he had trained in the past few years was also sent away in the Bailang Campaign to the South. Now these gentry are going to cause rebellion, and the soldiers in their hands are

It doesn't help - the only trouble is that if they are familiar with the terrain and dispersed, they will become bandits. In some places, the gentry can also recruit some ambitious and fierce prisoners, such as miners, who still have some fighting ability.

This group of guys is not very capable of fighting, but there are too many ups and downs. This is what gives White Leopard and Bai Biao a headache. They spend much more time on the road than in peace.

Bai Lang sits on the throne and manages the country but only gives it to his hands - he has recently learned the expressionless method of those guys he had seen during court meetings and cabinet meetings, and he found that this method is really good.

Use. "Try to speak as little as possible, and it's best not to speak at all. Doesn't this majesty and mystery come out?" As the founding emperor and a man with unparalleled military power, he was already full of majesty.

After going there a few times, he stopped going - because the atmosphere in his presence was too bad, and several cabinet ministers were trembling with fear as if they might have a heart attack and die at any time. So "Forget it, I won't go, then."

Just look at the records." Bai Lang feels that he will not attend such standing state meetings in the future unless there are important military and state affairs or a fixed date for the meeting. A generation of martial arts masters has now become a "faint king" who can only hang out in Xiyuan all day long.

, Bai Lang felt that it was quite boring to take it seriously.

Yes, the hostility in him was almost gone at this moment. He felt that he had done something stupid - especially for taking the late emperor's concubine for his own enjoyment. Of course, he didn't touch Yuanchun because he didn't like it.

Because of his discernment, Yuanchun was released from the palace to live with his parents... This kind of behavior of running the country without doing anything was actually considered by everyone above and below to be something that a wise emperor could do.

According to his ministers, some scholars and many people, Bai Lang is almost as good as Li Er. In terms of brutality, Bai Lang's court is better than Li Er, who only killed a dozen death row prisoners a year.

It's too fierce - at least there are beheading shows every three or five at Caishikou. There are reports across the country, at least in the north, that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are reviewing, and there are thousands of people on the list to prepare for the autumn showdown...

It’s no wonder that Bai Lang is said to be “wise”, because he abolished most of the execution methods of the death penalty, such as Ling Chi and beheading. Even those who rebel and commit treason are just beheadings. The execution methods of the death penalty have been streamlined.

The only two options were beheading and hanging, in addition to varying lengths of imprisonment and whipping. To this end, Bailang also asked the court to allocate funds to rebuild the prisons in most counties in the north, and asked the unsuspected prisoners to be

The sentenced prisoners were separated, and the latter were forced to perform various hard labor arranged by the county.

The emperor's career, which Bai Lang regarded as uninteresting, has lasted another five years. His two younger brothers and two younger sisters took turns to attack, and finally pacified the south and promoted the imperial decree. For this reason, many people were killed.

The young gentry also defeated many squatters who hid in the mountains during the previous dynasty and refused to obey the king. This was Wu's skill, and Wen's skill was Bailang's opening of civil and military courses to obtain scholars.

Among them, liberal arts subjects also need to test the Six Arts of the Gentleman, while martial arts subjects also need to test military skills and battle formations - it cannot be that the literati are incompetent and the military people cannot read a word. Once the imperial examination is held, those scholars in the south will immediately lose their voice

Now, let’s start the exam quickly. “If Cuo Da works for an official, he is willing to do anything.” Bai Lang burst out laughing. Of course, he said this in the harem, and it was really inappropriate to say it in front of all the elders.

Well, Bailang doesn't do such boring things either.

Bai Lang saw that all his younger brothers and sisters had returned to the court - by the way, the princess and concubine of his two younger brothers had already given birth to children. He already had three nephews and two nieces, and his two younger sisters had also caught up with their husband.

"You are not allowed to beat your husband at will, and you are not allowed to kill your husband and replace him at will!" This is what Bai Lang has sternly confessed secretly. As for his sister, if she wants to find a lover to cuckold her husband, to be honest, Bai Lang has nothing to do with it...

..If the upper beam is not straight, do you still expect the lower beam to be straight?

"I can only say that the two of them are as good as me and the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, what else can I say?" Bai Lang also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After they returned to the court, Bailang handed over all political affairs to them, the cabinet and the palace supervisors, while he took his troops and horses out of the fortress, "It's time to go west and fight north. Damn it, I haven't done it yet."

To unify the world, we must first swallow up my Western Region Protectorate and Dingbei Governor's Department. If I don't attack you, Lake Baikal and Caspian Sea, I won't be named Bai!" This time Bai Lang brought three thousand armored cavalry.

There are also 3,000 craftsman battalions and 5,000 infantrymen, carrying more than 40,000 horses and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep on the move...

He first fought north to Lake Baikal, then west, until he reached the Caspian Sea and then circled south and east. Along the way, he was ready to burn, kill and loot, especially for the Cossack barbarians coming from the west.

No one should be spared - if he wanted to keep some women, he decided to execute the chariot-wheel execution in accordance with the original rules of Temujin, that is, on the grassland. All men who were taller than the chakra-wheel would be beheaded.

The infantry wore chainmail, and the weapons in their hands were muskets and spears, while the cavalry had spears and sabers and hammers. Both men and horses wore armor. The craftsman camp repaired and crafted weapons along the way, and was also responsible for using ten small and medium-sized guns.

Fran Machine Cannon Bailang did not bring a woman into battle this time, and he also refused the so-called "request to fight" from his brothers and sisters - "Reluctantly, I know that each of you wants to stay in the imperial capital and be in power." Besides.

If this is the fun of Bailang, how can we share it with those guys?

They marched very quickly within the country, and then waited at Yumen Pass to deliver the cattle and horses. Two months later, Bailang led his mighty army and headed north at a not-so-fast speed, with the goal of Lake Baikal. This

All the way past is the land of Mongolia, but now some Cossacks have arrived, and Bailang wants to kill these people. "This time, what we have to do is not just cut off the Cossacks and Dongzheng's tentacles,

It is also the first step to restore the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions - first kill all those people, and then force them to convert to another religion and change their names! Burn all the temples and those scriptures!"
