Chapter 928: Warrior Monument


"There are many large islands in the southeast of the sea in the Sinhala Kingdom.

There are mountains of gold and silver on them.

After stabilizing the various places in Tianzhu, you can send people to search for them.

However, there are indigenous people on those islands, and they are still in the primitive state.

Tribal state, uncivilized, and lazy by nature.

If we can find mountains of gold and silver, I, the Western Qin Dynasty, will never be short of money again."

Zhao Lei agreed: "Yes, I will remember it."

On May 25th of the fourth year of the Xinghan Dynasty, Zhao Ziliang's squadron returned to the New Army.

The Third Army, the Sixth Army, the Ninth Army, and the Ninety-ninth Army all withdrew to Xinjing, leaving Bo Lehan in command of 30,000 slave troops and two Ten thousand volunteers guarded Tianzhu, and the opposition forces in various parts of Tianzhu were basically eradicated, leaving 50,000 troops to guard Tianzhu, and an army of 210,000 servants to assist.

There is absolutely no problem in maintaining the stability of Tianzhu.

Before leaving, Zhao Ziliang named the capital of the former Paramaru Kingdom, which is now the seat of the Tianzhu Protectorate, as Nandu.

Zhao Lei was appointed as the Protector of Tianzhu, and stayed in Nandu to be fully responsible for handling the military and political affairs of Tianzhu.

The Deputy Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, Dugu Wensu, and the Royal Court Secretary and Supervisor Li Boqin also stayed to assist him.

Zhao Ting was ordered to lead the naval fleet and the Seventh Army Corps back to the Jisu Protectorate.

He will be transferred back to Xinjing in half a year.

Zhao Ziliang's team lined up on the road for more than ten miles, accompanied by more than 300 carriages filled with treasures, hundreds of beauties taken away from Tianzhu, as well as lions, elephants and other wild beasts in cages Wait, Zhao Ziliang is going to take these animals back to Xinjing to build a large zoo for the people of Xinjing to watch.

Along the way, flags were flying and drums were playing continuously.

People from various cities along the way, led by government officials, stood on the roadside to see him off reluctantly.

This time Zhao Ziliang's class returned to Xinjing, not only taking away a large amount of treasures, rare animals, and peerless beauties, but also a large number of books and classics, which can be stored in the newly built library After a month and a half of long-distance march, Zhao Ziliang arrived in Xinjing on June 29th, the fourth year of Xinghan Dynasty.

Ministers and officials from various government departments under the royal court and military generals all went out of the city to greet them.

The people of Xinjing had already arrived.

After receiving the news, he went out of the city before dawn to occupy a favorable position, hoping to catch a glimpse of the king's grace and the mighty posture of the army.

On this day, the streets of New Capital City were really deserted.

The number of people who came to welcome him was twice as many as when the founding ceremony was held four years ago.

At least 60% of the people in the entire New Capital City came out.

Many people were holding a small Western Qin national flag bought on the street.

They kept waving it and shouting long live the flag after Zhao Ziliang's imperial chariot arrived.

Zhao Ziliang kept waving to the people while riding on horseback.

After returning from this expedition, Zhao Ziliang brought back a large amount of gold and silver, which enriched the national treasury and made Prime Minister Cen Shen and officials of the Government Affairs Council happy for a long time.

Everyone was smiling.

It seemed that war could also make money.

The army was led away by their respective army commanders outside the city and returned to their respective camps.

Under the protection of the escort, Zhao Ziliang walked through the entire New Capital City and finally arrived at Tai Chi Square in front of the palace.

He discovered that there was a towering tower on the west side of the square.

Ruyun rectangular stone tablet.

Cen Shen introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the Warrior Monument.

It records the names of the warriors who died in previous battles.

The base is three feet long and wide, the top is three feet long and wide, and it is sixteen feet, four feet and eight inches high."

Zhao Ziliang nodded in approval and said: "Okay, this warrior monument is well built."

The next day, Zhao Ziliang was led by Cen Shen and visited the recently built memorial hall in the south of the city.

This memorial hall covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres and is spacious.

The walls record every major and minor battle that Zhao Ziliang has fought since he entered the army.

After the visit, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to dig out all my old stories from many years ago."

Cen Shen said: "The reason for building this memorial hall is to carve out all the major and minor battles since the king joined the army.

It is mainly for future generations to pay homage to, to let future generations understand that the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty was not easy, and to warn future generations about the prosperous age of today.

"Not easy" Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "What you say makes sense.

The starting point is good."

On the first day of July, there was a great court meeting.

Zhao Ziliang held a court meeting in the Guangming Hall for the first time.

All officials of the fifth rank and above in Xinjing attended the meeting.

Although the Guangming Hall was large enough, it was still packed.

At the court meeting, Zhao Ziliang listened to the ministers' reports on government affairs, justice and supervision.

Generals from the Military Academy also reported to Zhao Ziliang on military affairs.

The king Zhao Ziliang was definitely not as easy as the kings of other countries.

He delegated power to a large extent and did not interfere with specific affairs to a large extent.

He only grasped the general principles and policies.

This not only gave his ministers the opportunity to fully display their talents.

The opportunity gave them the opportunity to deal with many things alone, and at the same time freed up a lot of time for himself.

He only reviewed the memorial once for several days, and did not need to deal with military and political affairs at other times.

He began to use his free time to go out incognito to inspect the governance of various places, the implementation of the judicial system in various places, and often inspected the supervision of officials by the supervisory system.

At the same time, he also paid attention to the developments in the Central Plains and the West.

The situation in Western Qin is relatively stable.

There has been no obvious clique formation or partisanship in the court for the time being.

Zhao Ziliang is quite taboo about this.

Officials also know that Zhao Ziliang is taboo about this, so they all avoid suspicion.

And since Zhao Ziliang announced that he would After the issue of succession to the throne was determined in the form of legislation, ministers who had the idea of ​​forming a party automatically gave up the idea.

On the eighth day of July, Zhao Ziliang summoned Wang Can in the palace and asked: "What is the situation between the Dashi Kingdom and the Eastern Roman Empire?

Is it still fighting and stopping?"

Wang Can cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, after two years of fighting between the Dashi Kingdom and the Eastern Roman Empire, both sides are quite tired from the fight, and neither side dares to use their full strength.

The Dashi Nation has to worry about a sudden attack by domestic opposition forces.

At the same time, We are also preparing for our country to attack from behind.

Since the end of the war in Tianzhu, the Dashi Kingdom's attacks on the Eastern Roman Empire have significantly weakened, and recently they have completely stopped.

Judging from various signs, the Great Food Country is deeply prepared for our country.

The Eastern Roman Empire did not dare to use its full strength because of the threats from the Bulgarian Khanate and the Slavs behind it.

Although it signed a ceasefire agreement with them, this thing It is not safe.

Constantine V also said that he is a fool and still retains a considerable number of troops in Thrace to defend against the Bulgarian Khanate and the Slavs."

Zhao Ziliang walked to the map and looked at it for a while, then asked: "Is the confrontation area between the Great Food Kingdom and the Eastern Roman Empire still in Kayseri and Sivas?"

"Yes" Zhao Ziliang said: "The cannibals are indeed very aggressive.

At first they only lived on this barren desert peninsula.

In just over a hundred years, they swallowed up the North African region of the Eastern Roman Empire and Syria. , Cyprus, and also swallowed up the Sasanian Empire of the Persian Empire, and continued northward, swallowing up Armenia and the Eastern Roman Empire. and surrounding areas, and now they have crossed the Taurus Mountains and penetrated deep into the eastern Anatonian Plain.

In more than a hundred years, two-thirds of the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire was gradually swallowed up by the cannibals.

There are such The enemy is lying beside me, making it difficult for me to sleep and eat well.

By the way, how is the Dongchang's activities to support the internal opposition forces of the Great Eater going?"

Wang Can cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in the past two or three years, we have supported two forces in the country of Dashi.

One is the Persians and the Persian Slavan faction in the country of Dashi.

They are all Persians, and many of them are Dashi.

This force has been eating high-ranking officials and nobles in the country since the famous food general Boshilin was defeated by Mansour.

After the killing, they resisted Mansour's rule, but were quickly suppressed.

The main personnel had to retreat to the countryside to hide and continue to engage in activities against Mansour secretly.

Their members were all original Persians; the other The group is the Sinbad faction, and this force was also a supporter of Boshilin at the time."

Zhao Ziliang asked: "How powerful are these two forces in Dashi China now?"

Wang Can said: "The Boslavan faction has more than 3,000 troops in Dashi, basically distributed in Khorasan Province and the south coast of the Caspian Sea, while the Sinbad faction has slightly more troops, with more than 5,000 troops, mainly Although there are many troops of these two forces distributed in Syria, they are relatively scattered.

It is difficult to gather them together in a short period of time without being discovered by the officials of the Big Food Country before taking action."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and asked: "How much money have we spent on them in total in the past few years?"

"Two million six hundred thousand dollars" Zhao Ziliang said: "We have invested so much, and we should have some gains.

We should find a way to persuade these two forces to launch an uprising in the Great Food Country.

First, let the Sinbad faction start in Syria, and first cut off the Great Food Country's access to the front line to attack the East.

The supply line of the Roman Empire's army.

If this supply line can be cut off for a period of time, the food army on the front line will have to retreat due to lack of supplies, or the army of the Eastern Roman Empire will seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Wait for the situation.

Further development will depend on the situation.”

Wang Can nodded and asked: "Will the Boslavan faction also allow them to attack Khorasan Province and the southern coast of the Caspian Sea at the same time, so that the big food country cannot take care of both ends?"

Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and said: "Okay, let them start at the same time, attack the city and land as quickly as possible, capture as many cities and areas as possible, and then recruit soldiers to deal with the counterattack of the Shiguo army, in case they cannot withstand it , they can be allowed to retreat into our country or into the territory of Khwarizm."

Wang Can said: "If this is the case, the Boslavan faction will have nothing to worry about.

They will definitely think of Mansu and the army will launch a crazy attack.

But if they are really defeated and retreat into our country, the army of the Great Food Officer will pursue them."

What should I do within our country?”

Zhao Ziliang's eyes widened: "Do they dare to provoke a war between the two countries?

Just go and deploy it.

I have my own discretion in this matter."

Wang Can agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty":
