Xiao Chen kept his promise and gave Wanyan Pingqiu the cans, sugar, one hundred armored ballistas, twenty artillery pieces, and five hundred pieces of fire. He also advanced two hundred thousand taels of silver to the alliance's standing army.
The military expenditures are of course made up of Xiaoji banknotes.
Now the northern Xinjiang tribes also recognize Xiao Ji, and the purchasing power of Xiao Ji is indeed the same as that of silver. Since its release, there has been no fluctuation at all.
Wanyan Pingqiu had nothing to say and accepted it silently.
On the occasion of parting, Xiao Chen invited him to drink to see him off, and only Uluolan accompanied him.
The atmosphere was a bit deserted.
"Wuluolan, aren't you about to leave too? Why don't you come with me?" Wanyan Pingqiu said when she had nothing to say or trouble.
"I have to wait for two days. The things that Brother Xiao Chen promised to give me are not ready yet." Uluolan said with a smile.
"Hmph, I think he just wants to keep you here for a few more days, right?" Wanyan Pingqiu sneered.
"No." Xiao Chen denied, "I just don't want Uluolan to go with you. The toad will never be able to eat swan meat, so I would like to advise you, brother leader, that you and Uluolan are not suitable, so don't do it in the future.
No matter how wishful thinking you are, you will save yourself the chance of getting sick. Lovesickness cannot be cured, and unrequited love is even more serious."
"She and I are not suitable, but you and her are suitable?" Wanyan Pingqiu actually has no interest in Uluolan, but she also doesn't want to see Uluolan being interested in Xiao Chen.
"If you make fun of me again, I won't accompany you anymore!" Uluolan angrily shouted at the table.
Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak! The two of them quickly shut up, and no one said anything for a long time. They stared at each other for a long time, and couldn't help laughing together.
"By the way Wanyan, the old prince is in good health, right? I wonder how long he will live this year?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"Three out of seventy," Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"Seventy-three, eighty-four..." Xiao Chen's next sentence, "The King of Hell did not invite me to go," was difficult to say, "They are all old. Although the old prince has a strong body, in autumn and winter, older people are extremely
You are susceptible to disease, but you can't ignore it. I have some palace tonics here. You can take them back to the old prince to take later, just to show your concern."
"I would like to thank you on behalf of my father." Wanyanping Qiu Xin asked, what does this boy mean?
Don't forget that he is very familiar with traditional Chinese culture, and of course he knows the folk saying "Seventy-three or eighty-four, if the King of Hell doesn't invite you to go".
So is Xiao Chen cursing my father to death, or is he hinting at something?
"Your uncle, Mr. Wanyan Liang, is probably over sixty, isn't he?" Xiao Chen turned to Wan Yanliang again.
"No, my second uncle only turned fifty this year." Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"Oh, why are you so old? You can see that you work too hard and your body is exhausted. Wu Luolan, when you go back, will you send Wen Shanchang to show Wanyan Lianggong a look? Just invite him in Wanyan's name.
Go." Xiao Chen said.
"Okay." Uluolan agreed.
"Wanyan Lianggong is smart, mature and prudent, good at trade and proficient in economics. I think Wanyan, you should ask more advice from others," Xiao Chen said.
This is not a hint but an explicit statement, because if you are proficient in economics, you can rejuvenate the country; if you are mature and prudent, you can manage the country.
"Well." Wanyan Pingqiu remembered it in his mind, but did not continue on this topic. Instead, he talked about military affairs, "Xiao Chen, Wu Luolan, our alliance army must have a designation. What do you think?
What should I call it?"
"I think it's good to call them Northern Border Guards. Isn't the purpose of establishing the alliance army to protect our Northern Border? The military system is directly adopted by Xiao Chen and the Yanyun Thirteen Guards. Their organization is good." Uluolan said.
"No!" Wanyan Pingqiu flatly refused, "Wouldn't that make him Xiao Chen's fourteenth guard?"
"Hey, why didn't you tell me that I spent so much money!" Xiao Chen was dissatisfied.
"I think it's more appropriate to call me Ping Yanwei." Wanyan Pingqiu did this on purpose.
"That's inappropriate." Xiao Chen shook his head, "The geese are falling on the sand, it's very ominous!"
In fact, it doesn't matter what the name is. The important thing is that this tribe must be useful. Especially when it is first established, it must be trained, either to the west, to the north, or to the northeast... Of course, it cannot go south.
This is what Wanyan Pingqiu wants to discuss with the two of them.
"If outsiders dare to invade, of course our Northern Guards will beat them up, but if the children at home are disobedient, they will also be spanked," Xiao Chen said.
You said it was a coincidence, but now there is someone who is disobedient...
"What does Bu He from the Henghe tribe want to do?" Uluolan said, "Everyone in the alliance meeting is here, but none of them are here. Does this mean he has any objections to Xiao Chen or is he against us?
This alliance?”
"I didn't offend him." Xiao Chen said hurriedly, "I treat him and you Mojie Xianbo equally. Because they are far away, I asked Wen Chengxu to add a little more price to their cattle and sheepskin goods as appropriate.
, but he repeatedly sent troops to harass my Xuanming realm and occupied a large area of grassland, so I tolerated it..."
"Brother Alliance Leader, you have just taken office. You must establish your authority when you should, especially if you don't let a dead rat ruin the pot of soup!" Uluolan said.
"Bu He's temper is a bit strange, but he should be aware of the overall situation. His behavior is really puzzling." Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"Go and ask him in person." Wu Luolan said, "Take the Northern Guards with you and give them some training. We soldiers are not new recruits. We don't need any training. If you can fight, you will win!"
"Humph, why are you so kind? You gave me military expenses, cannons, and muskets. It turns out you want to use me as a spearman!" Wanyan Pingqiu sneered.
"I also have a gun myself." Xiao Chen said calmly, "But I don't want to point it at one of my own, for fear of accidentally wiping the gun and going off and killing him."
"Xiao Chen, if they are our own people, then who are our enemies?" Wanyan Pingqiu suddenly asked.
"The Eastern Ying Dynasty, the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Western Western Regions, and the Northern Rus are all." Xiao Chen pointed out that with Yanyun and Northern Xinjiang as the center, the world was all enemies.
"Now that Japan is on good terms with you and we have established an alliance, I think they will not start a fight in the near future. Although Russia has a large territory and many soldiers and horses, they are surrounded by powerful enemies in the west and suppressed by Japan in the east.
We will not go south easily. If the Great Zhou Dynasty comes, with Yanyun Southwest as a barrier, we can deal with it calmly. Only the Western Regions..."
Only the Western Regions were a serious concern. Not to mention that all the countries in the Western Regions were ambitious, but Murong Heng's 100,000 troops also made Wanyan Pingqiu quite fearful.
Back then, my father, Wan Yanhong, was rampaging across northern Xinjiang and was invincible. However, he was beaten back by Li Chang and Mr. Murong Heng respectively, and was in an extremely embarrassing situation.
If it weren't for Mr. Dugu's repeated ingenious schemes to turn defeat into victory, I'm afraid Mojie would no longer exist.
Li Chang is dead, but Murong Heng is still alive. Although he is old, he is still so powerful that the whole world is shocked!
As for Bu He, in the eyes of Xiao Chen and Wanyan Pingqiu, he was just a clown jumping off the beam and a rat burrowing into a hole, and they didn't even notice him.
