After everyone heard this, they all marveled and sighed. They didn't expect Muchuan to have experienced so many things.
Mo Zhu: "As expected of Master Mu, if I were you, I would have died at the hands of the Goguryeo people."
Ouyang Bufan: "No wonder His Majesty gave Master Mu so many things. He is well deserved!"
Qin Qiong: "After this battle, Goguryeo will definitely suffer a heavy setback. At that time, our Tang Dynasty will become even more majestic! Like a lion hunting for a fake!"
Everyone seemed very excited. After all, they were all friends of Muchuan. After hearing that Muchuan had done so many feats, they were naturally happy for Muchuan.
Rather excited, Qin Qiong calmed down slightly and said another thing: "I'm afraid Baekje won't be so indifferent..."
Baekje is a country in the Korean Peninsula. It is connected with Goguryeo and is located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. It faces the sea on three sides. It has abundant aquatic resources and is good at naval warfare.
Under normal circumstances, Datang and Baekje are in peace with each other. The reason is simple. Goguryeo is separated between the two countries. In the case of inconvenient transportation facilities in ancient times, the only accessible routes were sea, land, and natural routes.
There will be no conflict.
The reason why Qin Qiong is worried is that the two countries have "peaceful relations" between Baekje and Goguryeo, but they are only peaceful on the surface, but secretly they are always fighting.
Muchuan led the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to conquer one-fifth of Goguryeo's territory this time, which may break this balance.
It's a bittersweet moment. When Baekje realizes that after Tang annexed Goguryeo, it will annex itself again. Baekje will definitely take action. The worst thing that could happen is that Baekje and Goguryeo will unite to deal with Tang.
"So I'm afraid it won't be very peaceful over there in the near future. Maybe... there will be a war soon."
Qin Qiong said with deep concern.
In fact, Qin Qiong's worries are very keen, and he is worthy of being a battle-hardened general.
According to official history, Goguryeo and Baekje were both friends and enemies. In the early Tang Dynasty, the two countries often united to bully Silla, another country on the Korean Peninsula.
Silla could not withstand the combined attack of the two countries, so it sent an envoy to bow to the Tang Dynasty and "recognize it as its elder brother", thereby winning the support of the Tang Dynasty.
In the end, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to help Silla and successfully fought against Baekje and Goguryeo.
The balance between the four countries was maintained for decades. During these decades, Goguryeo became more and more powerful and became the well-deserved leader among the three countries on the Korean Peninsula. Later, he even wanted to annex Silla and Baekje.
.
Later, Baekje could no longer hold on, so it also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, which led to the final decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.
Muchuan captured more than 20 cities of Goguryeo this time with a force of 150,000 troops. News of this victory has spread far and wide in the Korean Peninsula, invisibly disturbing history. Perhaps what happens next will
It will not develop like history.
In other words, the Tang Dynasty may have to deal with Goguryeo and Baekje at the same time in the early stages.
However, Muchuan showed that he did not care about this. Although he had been awarded the title of "General of the Army," he was not mainly responsible for the expansion of the war. It was the other generals in the court who were troubled.
"Okay, let's not talk about what's available and what's not, let's drink and eat! Haha!"
Muchuan smiled heartily, and he was having fun with the others, feeling very free and at ease.
In the next few days, Muchuan's life began to stabilize, and he was mainly busy with the work of the household department.
At present, with the help of Qin Qiong and Duan Zhixuan, the "treasury bond issuance" is successfully promoted. Among the 300,000 soldiers under their command, more than half of them have used their own savings to purchase. For this purpose, the Ministry of Household Finance has gathered together
Plenty of funds available.
Later, Ouyang Bufan was entrusted with statistics and learned that a total of 150,000 taels of gold had been collected, which was enough to complete the construction of water conservancy projects in the "Chang'an Plain", land expropriation, labor expenses and other matters.
It should be known that it took less than two days to complete the collection of funds, which made Muchuan once again marvel at the prestige of the two generals Qin Qiong and Duan Zhixuan.
As soon as the two of them made an announcement, the soldiers responded enthusiastically, which shows how they were supported by the soldiers.
A week after returning to Chang'an City, Muchuan began to frequently walk back and forth between Hubu and the "Chang'an Plain" on the outskirts of Chang'an City.
After all, the largest water conservancy project facility in Gyeonggi Province is being built now. Many parts of the facility use modern theoretical knowledge frameworks. Even if Muchuan finds it troublesome, he must supervise it carefully.
Fortunately, the progress was going well and no accidents occurred. After all, in addition to Muchuan being responsible for supervision, Ouyang Bufan and Sun Shitou were also responsible for the execution management work.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly and there was no cloud in the sky.
The Chang'an River bank has a flat terrain, is surrounded by dense forests, and has fresh air.
Muchuan stood along the river and looked at the craftsmen and soldiers working on the construction. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. But it was strange. In recent days, it seemed that he could hear bursts of strange cries from a distance?
Could it be that I am being paranoid?
Just as Muchuan was thinking this, Ouyang Bufan's exclamation came from the side: "Lord Muchuan! It's not good!"
Muchuan rolled his eyes, Ouyang Bufan was always surprised, so he turned around and asked: "What's wrong?
What’s wrong?”
"Something happened! A soldier died!"
"died?"
Muchuan was stunned for a moment, his head filled with questions.
Ouyang Bufan then took Muchuan to a plain ten miles away from the river bank. The grass was dense and the air was humid. A corpse could be seen here.
The body was covered in blood, with broken limbs, and the clothes he was wearing were torn into pieces. It looked very cruel.
At this time, there were many soldiers and craftsmen around, everyone was talking about it, and they were especially afraid.
"This is Ada. What a poor child. He died unexpectedly without even getting a wife."
"Who killed Ada? It's so abominable! Ada was still so young!"
"Ada is really pitiful. I beg you all to make the decision for Ada!"
Soldiers and craftsmen spoke one after another and were very emotional. After all, someone died in the place where they worked, which really shocked everyone's hearts.
Muchuan later learned from the people around him that the deceased was a soldier from the third infantry battalion under Qin Qiong's command, named "Ada". He was dispatched this time. Ada and other soldiers assisted the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households in the construction of water conservancy projects.
As for why "Ada" died here despite being so good?
It is said that after the sun set last night, he did not follow the large team back to the camp where they were stationed, so he suffered an accident.
