Bang!
A native was so frightened that the weapon in his hand dropped.
One person drops the weapon in his hand, and there will be a second person immediately, like the plague, spreading extremely fast.
The native general had already died, and no one was commanding the native soldiers. Under the threat of the Tang Emperor's army, they knelt down and surrendered one after another.
Kneel down.
It was completely bright.
"General, tens of thousands of aborigines invaded, more than 18000 people were captured, thousands escaped, and more than 3000 people were beheaded."
The messenger said.
"Are there any casualties in our army?"
Doo Ho said.
"General, there are more than 20 soldiers who are slightly injured, but the rest of the soldiers are intact."
The messenger said.
Damn it!
I put my foot down, speechless!
Du He turned around and entered the big tent.
……
In the well city.
Sakata fled back to the city with thousands of indigenous soldiers under the tree, his face was pale and bloodless.
so horrible!
The fighting power of the Tang people made the natives daunting.
Not to mention the ordinary natives, even if Sakata Shuxia was as powerful as he was, he still couldn't kill ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in a short time.
The defense ability of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is too strong, and it cannot be broken with one or two blows.
By the time the Tang people counterattacked, the aborigines had no combat power and no morale.
If Sakata hadn't escaped quickly under the tree, he would have become a ghost under the sword.
"General Sakata, did our sneak attack fail?"
Inoue Juro asked.
Ugh!
Sakata sighed under the tree.
"We were fooled! The Tang people had been prepared for a long time and waited for us to enter. We entered the Tang people's barracks,
Immediately they were shot, and many soldiers died at once.By the time we reacted, it was too late. "
Sakata said under the tree.
"General Sakata, can we defend the city?"
Inoue Juro said.
Damn!
Defend the city!
Just kidding!
How can the Tang people hold on to such a strong combat power!
"Master Inoue, defending the city, this general feels a little overwhelmed. You must be mentally prepared to evacuate."
Sakata said under the tree.
Ah!
Jingcheng is the stronghold of the Inoue family. Once they leave, it means that the family will no longer have a foundation. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Inoue family.
"General Sakata, my family still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, who can't defeat the Tang people in a frontal battle, can't they defend the city?"
Inoue Juro said.
Sakata Juro didn't want to admit that he couldn't beat Tang Ren, but the facts were in front of him, so he had to accept it!
The Tang people are not only advanced in weapons and equipment, they are not comparable to Shizhou Island.
In addition, in terms of soldier training, the combat effectiveness of Tang soldiers is extremely strong, which is not what Shizhou Island imagined.
"Master Inoue, prepare to retreat!"
Sakata Juro said. ??
Chapter 404
Chang'an Imperial Study Room:
Li Er called several important ministers to stay together to discuss the expedition of Shizhou Island.
Du He sent a report to Li Er and discovered two gold mines and one silver mine, which made Li Er extremely excited.
The empire is a country that lacks gold mines and silver mines.
It is of great significance to find three gold and silver mines, which are minerals with a large reserve, and Li Erneng is not happy.
"Masters, Du He wrote in a letter saying that two gold mines and one silver mine were discovered on Shizhou Island. This is just exploration.
One-third of Shizhou Island.It is not known how many gold and silver mines there are on Shizhou Island.
However, don't miss it.A letter from Duhe said that after mining, a smelter was to be established on the island,
directly extracted.It is very troublesome to save it from being smelted in the empire.Let's discuss, is this feasible? "
Li Erdao.
I am worried that the smelting on Shizhou Island and the weak supervision will allow some people with ulterior motives to reach out for corruption.
"Your Majesty, how much gold and silver can be smelted from those three minerals?"
The eldest grandson said nothing.
Everyone also wants to know in their hearts, how big are the three mines that have been explored?
Ha ha!
"I know something about this, but it's just preliminary exploration, not real data. Real data,
Only when it is mined and smelted can it be known.According to preliminary exploration estimates, the two gold mines can smelt 1000 kilograms of pure gold.
That silver can be smelted to produce 3000 kilograms of pure silver. "
Li Erdao.
call!
developed!
More than a dozen important officials exhaled heavily.
Shock the soul!
With so much gold and silver, it's a lot of money.
The ministers couldn't figure out that the gold and silver mines stored on Shizhou Island were of very high grade, under normal circumstances, the grade reached 40, and some even reached a high grade of 70 or above.
With such a high grade, the smelted gold and silver are of course high.
What about the empire?
Gold and silver reserves are not only small, but also of very low grade, usually only a few points, and the high one is no more than ten points.
How to compare with Shizhou Island.
A few years ago, the natives on Shizhou Island paid tribute directly with the dog's head gold.
There is no way, the natives on Shizhou Island don't know smelting technology, so what do they get if they don't take the dog's head gold!
Ha ha!
"Don't be surprised, everyone. Whether it is gold or silver mines on Shizhou Island, the grades are a bit high."
Li Erdao.
What is a bit high, is super high, okay?
The important ministers despised Li Er severely.
Pretend to be a criminal!
"Your Majesty, since Du He said that he wanted to build a smelter on Shizhou Island, I think it is feasible. After all,
Transporting ore back to the empire is not about smelting.It is indeed better to be able to transport pure gold and pure silver back.
However, Weichen suggested that our Yushi Pavilion send supervisors.Monitor the situation of mining plants, smelters,
Once you find someone stretching out your hand, cut it off immediately, so as not to let those who are interested take advantage of the loopholes, please agree with your Majesty. "
Wei Zhengdao.
"This should be a good thing. Du He definitely welcomes it. But, let me tell you here, you people in Yushige,
Don't meddle in management and business matters, otherwise, I won't forgive the people in Yushige. "
Li Erdao.
"According to the order!"
Wei Zheng saluted.
"Your Majesty, the food and grass consumption of Du He's army is a bit high, more than four times higher than when they went to the peninsula.
Weichen suggested that Yushige should investigate it and not let corrupt elements have a chance to reach out. "
Wang Gui said.
All of a sudden, more than a dozen important officials looked at Wang Gui.
Everyone thinks it's impossible.
Du He is so rich, how could he corrupt petty money?
"Lord Wang, you are a layman at first glance, and you don't understand anything about the military's expedition! What are you messing with?
When going to the peninsula, Du He's army could seize food and grass, and the consumption must be much smaller.Expedition to Shizhou Island is completely two concepts.
On Shizhou Island, production technology is backward, where to seize grain and grass?And so many support staff,
Don't spend food and grass!Captive natives, don't they eat?Don't you see that the natives are naked,
Even the clothes need to be supplied by the army.
You are always staring at the military going out to spend food and grass, why don't you talk about how many territories the military conquered and how much benefit it brought to the empire.
Is it easy for the military? "
Li Jing went up.
The old face was red.
Shame!
Wang Gui felt ashamed.
In fact, Li Er didn't believe that Du He would act recklessly.
With so many industries under Du He's banner, there is no shortage of money at all. Is it necessary to engage in those small tricks?
All the accounts were not handled by Du He, Du He signed after reading it, and basically did not mix it.
"Lord Wang, it seems that the person who came to beg for food and grass is not General Du He, even if there is a problem, it can't be blamed on Du He.
You should ask the Ministry of Accounts what is going on.Our military has not pursued why you put so many children into the army,
Don't you know that those people stay in the army drinking and gambling all day, and don't do business, they just think about going to the army to spend money.
