Chapter 0532 As long as you are quick, Kou Ji can't kill me
"good!"
"Commissioner Kou is right! The woman our brothers exchanged their lives for, you can take back as your mother-in-law for free. Our brothers didn't say anything. Why are you so arrogant?"
"..."
When the soldiers heard Kou Ji's words, they all applauded.
It was obvious that Kou Ji's words had touched their hearts.
Kou Ji did not talk to the civilian husbands anymore. Amidst the cheers of the soldiers, he ordered Liu Heng: "Set a rule. Men over thirty years old are only allowed to find women over twenty years old."
Liu Heng nodded slowly, "I understand..."
Kou Ji stopped paying attention to the matter and walked out of the middle of the school field.
Kou Ji was not dissatisfied with Liu Heng's decision to put the girls in the middle of the school grounds and let them be picked like goods.
Although Liu Heng's move was inappropriate, his purpose was very clear to Kou Ji.
Liu Heng probably didn't recruit many people who were willing to stay in Shazhou, so he came up with this strategy and put the female prisoners in front of the soldiers to attract them.
I hope there are some hot-headed ones who covet the beauty of Shazhou Uighur women and stay in Shazhou.
After Liu Heng conveyed Kou Ji's order, the husbandmen continued to choose wives.
Under the attention of the soldiers, Kou Ji found where Zhu Neng was and walked over.
Zhu Neng saw Kou Ji and asked with a smile: "Do you plan to manage Shazhou and incorporate Shazhou into the territory of our Song Dynasty?"
Kou Ji coaxed the peasants to stay. For what reason, anyone with a discerning eye can see through it at a glance.
Kou Ji sat next to Zhu Neng and said with a smile: "Since we have defeated them, we have to hold on. We can't give them away."
Zhu Neng clicked his lips and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Shazhou is located in a remote area, and there is no way to connect it with the territory of the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid the court will not agree."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Then find a way to connect them together."
Zhu Neng's eyes widened in astonishment, "Connected together?"
The distance between Shazhou and the Song Dynasty is not short. It is bounded by the Qilian Mountains and separated by Guazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Xiliang and other places to the north.
To the south is Huangtou Huihe and Qingtang.
If they are connected from the north, they will continue to fight fiercely with Xixia and occupy Guazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Xiliang and other places.
If they are connected from the south, they will have a fierce battle with Huangtou Huihe and Qingtang.
No matter which side they join together, it will take several years of hard work and fierce fighting.
The military and financial resources invested during this period will be huge.
Kou Ji nodded slowly under Zhu Neng's questioning eyes.
The leader of the anti-Japanese army was listening. He didn't understand Kou Ji, so he thought Kou Ji was bragging.
Zhu Neng understood Kou Ji, he knew that Kou Ji was a man who dared to speak and act.
Since he can say it out loud, it means that he has been thinking about it for a long time.
Zhu Neng said in shock: "Take the Hexi line?"
Comparing the two lines, the Hexi line is obviously more beneficial to the Song Dynasty.
The Hexi line is the north side of the Qilian Mountains.
Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Xiliang and other places are collectively called Hexi.
Also known as the Hexi Corridor.
Xixia had just occupied Hexi and had not yet completely digested Hexi.
If the Song Dynasty took the opportunity to attack, it would naturally take advantage.
It is unlike Huangtou Huihe and Qingtang on the south side of the Qilian Mountains, especially Qingtang.
Huangtou Huihe is easy to deal with, but Qingtang is difficult to deal with.
Qingtang has now been unified and is like one country.
They have been entrenched in Qingtang for a long time, and their foundation is already solid and difficult to break.
So when Kou Ji said that he wanted to connect the territories of Shazhou and the Song Dynasty, Zhu Neng guessed that Kou Ji wanted to attack the Hexi line.
Kou Ji nodded again amidst Zhu Neng's questions.
Zhu Neng pondered: "I'm afraid this won't be that easy..."
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
Zhu Neng nodded hesitantly.
If the imperial court really allowed it, Zhu Neng would naturally agree to attack the Hexi front line and capture the entire Hexi Corridor.
Several states in Hexi were all attributed to the Song Dynasty.
That was a great achievement in opening up new territories.
At least, it would take ten to eight marquises and two or three dukes to demonstrate meritorious service.
If under the leadership of Zhu Neng, Hexi was captured.
Then Zhu Neng will have the opportunity to turn the Zhu family into a general with the same reputation as the Cao family, Shi family, Pan family and other families.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered in Shazhou.
If the imperial court cooperates, there is a high chance of winning the Hexi Corridor.
Zhu Neng was very moved.
But given the nature of the civil servants in the court, I'm afraid they won't agree easily.
Zhu Neng was thinking about his thoughts, while Kou Ji calmly stared at the lively scene in the middle of the school ground.
After a long time.
Kou Ji felt bored and was about to leave when he rode into the military camp and rode up to Kou Ji in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
It attracted everyone's attention in an instant.
When the soldiers on horseback arrived in front of Kou Ji, they jumped off their horses and shouted nervously: "Commissioner Kou, General Yang has discovered a mountain of gold and silver in Thousand Buddha Cave."
His voice had a strong tremor, and what he said was probably true.
His voice was not loud, but word of mouth among the soldiers and civilians spread throughout the camp in an instant.
Ever since.
Hundreds of thousands of people's eyes were red.
Even Kou Ji, who was used to seeing large amounts of money, had a bit of shock in his eyes.
Kou Ji raised his head and saw hundreds of thousands of people looking at him with red eyes. He was slightly stunned and lowered his head to ask the soldiers who came to report the news.
"But are you in trouble?"
The soldier who reported the news nodded decisively.
In an instant, the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people turned even redder.
Kou Ji pursed his lips, and after thinking for a long time under the attention of thousands of people, he said with a hint of doubt: "Let's go together?"
"roar!!"
"roar!"
"..."
Hundreds of thousands of people went crazy in an instant.
Each one looked like a wolf, raising its neck and roaring.
Gold and Silver Mountain.
There are many scenes that many people may not be able to see in a few lifetimes.
Even if the gold and silver has little to do with them, they still want to see it.
The soldiers are not greedy for gold and silver.
Because they know it very well.
No matter how much gold and silver there is, it still belongs to the imperial court.
They don't want to get it.
But that didn't stop them from following along and taking a look.
After all, one look can brag for a lifetime.
Zhu Neng looked at the soldiers blankly, and the civilians spontaneously began to gather. He smiled slightly and pointed at Kou Ji, "You, you..."
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "Since they know, then take them to see it. If you don't take them to see it, I'm afraid they will have complaints in their hearts."
Zhu Neng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I just don't know who is making things difficult for General Yang. Will they be frightened to death when they see hundreds of thousands of people showing up?"
"I hope they are strong enough in their hearts..."
The army gathered at an unprecedented speed.
Since they were not going out to deal with a strong enemy, Zhu Neng, Kou Ji and others did not put much emphasis on the formation of troops and horses.
When the army was almost assembled.
Kou Ji and Zhu Neng got on their horses and rushed out of the city.
Hundreds of thousands of people followed behind, shouting and yelling.
He ran all the way out of the city, setting off a cloud of smoke and dust.
Thousand Buddha Cave is located about two miles east of Shazhou City.
When Kou Ji and Zhu Neng rushed to Thousand Buddha Cave on horseback.
Some peasants have not yet come out from Shazhou City.
This shows how huge the team is.
The huge team naturally attracted the attention of the people inside Thousand Buddha Cave.
The faces of the monks who were standing in front of Yang Wenguang and his party changed when they saw the dark crowd coming towards them.
Standing in front of Yang Wenguang, the great monk looked like an eminent monk with a fluttering white beard, his eyes widened.
"Bang!"
Kou Ji jumped on his horse and broke through the gate in front of the Thousand Buddha Cave, and rode into the Thousand Buddha Cave.
The soldiers surged out from behind him like a tide and rushed into the Thousand Buddha Cave with joy, occupying all the places they could occupy.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
With everyone watching, Kou Ji rode up the steps behind the gate and arrived at the place where Yang Wenguang was confronting the monks.
The number of monks is very large, ranging from five to six thousand.
Among them, there are as many as three thousand who are powerful and powerful.
It is seriously inconsistent with the figures that Yang Wenguang had previously detected.
It seems that the monks from the Thousand Buddha Cave specially summoned the monks after learning that Shazhou City had changed its owner in order to protect the money in the Thousand Buddha Cave.
Kou Ji crossed his horse and came to Yang Wenguang's side and asked, "Do you believe in Buddhism?"
Yang Wenguang said seriously: "Grandma believes it, but I don't."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Does that mean you are soft-hearted?"
Yang Wenguang said dumbfounded: "From the moment I became sensible, my grandmother often warned me that kindness does not lead to war."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then why do you still ask for help?"
Yang Wenguang glanced at the patrolling horse guards behind him, and said with a wry smile: "The opponent has a larger number of people. If I use force, I will definitely hurt the brothers behind me. They are not my soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty. If there are too many casualties, I will
I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to tell the leader of the Yuanshan tribe.”
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment.
He did not expect that Yang Wenguang would be worried that he would not be able to explain to the leader of the Yuanshan tribe, so he did not let the patrol horse guards take action.
He had no way to tell Yang Wenguang the true identity of the patrolling horse guard, so he could only pretend to have a look of deep understanding and nodded: "You did the right thing..."
The two people were asking and answering questions, which seemed simple, like two old friends having a conversation.
But when there are tens of thousands of people around, it's different.
Tens of thousands of people stared at two people talking quietly. The scene was very shocking.
After Kou Ji learned about the situation from Yang Wenguang, he turned around and stared at the great monk with fluttering white beard.
"I heard that someone is going to fight against us?"
The great monk made a Buddha seal and said with compassion: "Immortal life..."
Before he finished pronouncing the Buddha's name, Kou Ji glared and yelled: "Talk like a human being..."
The soldiers who came with Kou Ji were very cooperative with Kou Ji.
When Kou Ji stopped shouting, they all drew out their swords, spears, swords and halberds.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The sound of drawing swords became one continuous sound.
The sharp light of the sword added a layer of silver among the soldiers.
The great monk was so frightened that he trembled all over. He shook his head decisively and said: "I don't dare to make enemies of the soldiers and horses of the Celestial Dynasty..."
Kou Ji snorted coldly, glanced at the monks behind him, and asked coldly: "Then why are you gathered here?"
The great monk hurriedly said: "The Thousand Buddha Cave contains the gold treasures of the Shazhou Uighur royal family. Now the Shazhou Uighur royal family has been destroyed by your tribe. The gold treasures of the Shazhou Uighur royal family will naturally belong to your tribe."
It's just that money is fascinating, and there are always some little ones who are thinking about it.
The poor monk and others are staying here to help your department guard the hidden gold."
What the great monk said was very humble and sincere.
If Kou Ji didn't know the whole story, he would almost believe it.
Kou Ji stared at the great monk and asked, "Then I sent someone to get the gold, why did you stop me?"
The great monk saluted and said: "The poor monk did not stop them. The poor monk just doubted their identity and was afraid that someone would impersonate you and take away the hidden gold, so he temporarily blocked them and asked them to declare their identity."
Kou Ji stared at the great monk coldly.
The great monk did not dare to say a word, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
When the great monk was about to kneel down on the ground in fear, Kou Ji slowly spoke, "I believe you for now. I want to take away the gold hidden in the Thousand Buddha Cave now. What are you going to do?"
The great monk wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said as Meng Amnesty said: "A poor monk will naturally lead the way for noble people."
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction, "From now on, Thousand Buddha Cave will be under our control. Do you have any complaints?"
The great monk hesitated when he heard this.
Kou Ji wanted to take away the gold hidden in the Thousand Buddhas Cave. Even though he was in physical pain, he had to endure it.
Because Kou Ji was so powerful, he could kill all the monks in Thousand Buddha Cave with just one sentence.
If they were evenly matched, the great monk would naturally not give in so quickly.
But one is an iron ball and the other is an egg. If their strength is very different, he will naturally give in immediately.
Kou Ji took advantage of his great power and took away the hidden gold, but he did not dare to object.
But Koji had to manage the place where they lived, so the great monk was in a bit of a dilemma.
Kou Ji's men are all soldiers and horses. If the soldiers and horses enter the Thousand Buddha Cave, the murals and Buddhist scriptures in the Thousand Buddha Cave will most likely be destroyed.
They, the monks, may also be enslaved.
Naturally he hesitated.
Seeing that the great monk didn't speak, Kou Ji stared and sighed.
The great monk had a grimace on his face and said quickly: "Everything is up to the noble man's arrangement."
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and said: "Don't worry, I am a reasonable person. I will not expel you, nor will I enslave you, nor will I destroy your place of residence, nor will I destroy those murals.
Tibetan scriptures.
I will only send a team of soldiers and horses to guard outside the Thousand Buddha Cave, and then send two or three officials to cooperate with you in managing the monks.
The monks behind you all look so big and round, so it would be a pity to stay here chanting sutras.
I will send people to take them to cultivate fertile fields and plant crops outside the Thousand Buddha Cave after worshiping the Buddha.
It can not only meet the needs of your monks, but also pay taxes to the Song Dynasty in a timely manner.
The best of both worlds.”
After a pause, Kou Ji looked at the monk's ugly face and asked with a smile: "You don't plan to pay taxes, do you?"
Give me a hammer.
Who in the entire Western Region dares to ask monks to pay taxes?
I have been a monk for more than fifty years and have never paid a penny in taxes.
The great monk roared loudly in his heart, but he said very submissively: "The poor monks and others are under the rule of the nobles, so naturally they have to pay taxes to the nobles."
Kou Ji smiled with satisfaction and said: "Great monk, you are very good...lead the way...let me see the gold hidden by the Uighurs in Shazhou..."
