I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The weather in early February was still cold. However, at lower altitudes, the snow has melted and the sun is brighter. Even so, the spring is still cold and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

At this time, the weather, hurrying and the like, but also relaxed.

Wang Fuzhong.

Du Qi is looking at the current financial report and many situations. For Du Qi, the business development in Western Regions in the past year is extremely rapid, especially the Bank headquarters has been transferred from Great Tang inland.

Even though there are many banks in Great Tang, in fact, the Bank in Great Tang relies on the headquarters, and a lot of profit is sent to the Western Regions.

For the transportation of money, Du Qi didn’t have much fanfare. He arranged for the others to pretend to be caravans and escorted them by caravan, so not many people know the details.

Commercial development has laid the foundation for the development of Du Qi. Because there is enough money, all development will have confidence and will not be affected.

In a short period of time, the strength of Du Qi’s army has continued to improve. Whether it is the battle strength of the soldier or the weapon of the soldier, they are all in rapid innovation.

In addition, Jin Wuwei is in charge of the Disciplinary Inspection Department. The corruption of officials and the laziness of the government have stopped. Because Jin Wuque focuses on this, the effect is extremely obvious.

What Du Qi is implementing now is to nourish integrity with high salaries, because he has enough confidence to implement the policy of high salaries and no integrity. The entire Yizhou, from top to bottom, is developing rapidly.

Li Yanyun and Qianxue have been pregnant for more than three months, but they are not very pregnant. After all, they are only four months pregnant, and they become more pregnant at five or six months.

Du Qi looked at the financial report and kept nodding.

The development trend is very good.

“dong! dong!”

There was a knock on the door, and immediately Liu Zhengxi hurriedly entered and stood still below.

Du Qi put aside the book in his hand, and said: “Mr. Liu, what’s the matter?”

Liu Zhengxi happily said: “His Royal Highness, good news. Alhan from Gaochang There was news from China saying that Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochangguo, had been persuaded to surrender. Now Qu Wentai led Gaochangguo’s 20,000 army, as well as civil and military people, all to the border of Illinois, preparing to welcome His Highness into Gaochang at the border of Illinois. Country.”

“Okay, okay!”

Du Qi also laughed, and said: “Alhan is really not simple, he really convinced Qu Wentai. “

For Du Qi, if Gao Chang is captured without a war, his power will be further enhanced. Moreover, after Du Qi has Gaochangguo, it is not only Yizhou, but will gradually form a strategic depth and have a protective barrier.

Liu Zhengxi said solemnly: “The humble post thinks that we should be more cautious. We will take the troops to the border, first confiscating Qu Wentai’s army, and then enter the Gaochang country. In this way, even if Qu Wentai has any thoughts, It has no effect on us. The defensive heart is indispensable and must be fully prepared.”

Du Qi nodded and said: “Just do what you say.”

Liu Zhengxi Turning the conversation, he said again: “His Royal Highness, there is another suggestion for the humble position.”

Du Qi said: “Say!”

Liu Zhengxi said: “Although Yizhou has been built, Whether it’s roads or city planning, it’s good. But after all, Yizhou is right next to Great Tang, and it’s not suitable for the capital where His Royal Highness truly stands.”

“The humble suggestion is to enter Gaochang After that, he really settled down in Gaochang County. Gaochang County is the most suitable state as the capital where His Royal Highness will be found in the future.”

“On the one hand, Gaochang has been inherited for hundreds of years. On the other hand, in Gaochang country, water resources are relatively richer than that of Yizhou.”

“So it is a good place for the capital.”

Liu Zhengxi said resolutely: “The humble post suggests that the political and economic center of His Highness should be gradually transferred to Gaochang.”

Du Qi said: “Relocation is to move, but Gaochang is not the final choice. If you want to establish a capital, you will inevitably get through the Western Regions and then go to Persia and settle your capital in Persia.”

When Liu Zhengxi heard this, he was a little surprised.

Go to Persia to set the capital.

Du Qi explained: “In fact, the reason is very simple. The climate in Western Regions is too extreme. When it is hot, it is very hot, and it can freeze to death when it is cold. Such weather can only be accepted now. After we get through the Western Regions, we will choose a place with a more pleasant climate and a better location for Geography, or Persia. Of course, it may also be India in the south.”

Liu Zhengxi said:” Your Highness is wise!”

Liu Zhengxi agrees to Du Qi’s arrangement.

Liu Zhengxi turned around and said: “His Royal Highness, we are going to the border and we have to take the army. But after we dispatched troops this time, we will not return to Yizhou for the time being. The humble duty means that although we say Leave, but there must be an army stationed in Yizhou to prepare for the situation in case of chaos.”

Du Qi thought for a while, instructed: “Leave Xiao Yuanqi to sit in Yizhou, he led his subordinates The soldiers are stationed.”

“Yes!”

Liu Zhengxi responded immediately.

Du Qi waved his hand and said: “Go down.”

Liu Zhengxi got up and bowed to Du Qi, then turned to leave the arrangement.

Du Qi also went straight to the backyard.

Li Yanyun and Qianxue are now mainly raising fetuses at the mansion. Although they stay at the mansion, many business matters are also sent to the mansion and arranged by the two, so that they will not be idle. .

Du Qi arrived in the backyard, looked at the busy two people, and said: “Gao Changguo, west of Yizhou, has chosen to return, and is now leading troops to the border to greet them. I will bring troops there. At the same time, enter Gaochang State and arrange everything. After I arrange everything in Gaochang State, you will move to Gaochang. Right now, you will stay in the house well, understand?”

Li Yanyun Said: “Husband just go.”

For Du Qi’s dispatch of troops, Li Yanyun and Qianxue didn’t stop them at all, because this was something they took for granted.

Qianxue said: “Husband, pay attention to safety.”

Du Qi asked them to pay attention to their bodies, and talked to them about trivial things in the palace, then got up and left. He returned to the study and waited not long. Liu Zhengxi had already entered, saying that everything had been arranged. Ma Yuan and Xue Rengui led the army to wait outside the west gate and would not come to the palace.

Du Qi temporarily left Liu Zhengxi and other officials and officials in the palace, and set off with relatives such as Moldo.

The east gate from Pingxi Palace to the county seat arrived soon.

The army converges and grandiose sets off.

The army led by this time, even if only led by Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan, is 10,000 people. In addition to the infantry, there are also cavalry accompanying the army.

More than three thousand fine rides, one by one aggressive.

He is even more motivated.

From Yiwu County to Nazhi County, and then from Nazhi County to the border, because spring has begun, the roads have been cleared, and the main official roads in Yizhou have been paved with concrete roads, so the team The journey was very fast. In less than four days, he arrived at the border and arrived at the place where Qu Wentai led his army.

Qu Wentai had already received the news. Knowing that Du Qi was about to arrive, he personally led Wang Wen, Jiang Changzong, and Alhan to the official road and waited.

When Du Qi led the army, Qu Wentai walked up alone.

This is Qu Wentai’s sincerity.

As Qu Wentai moved forward, he was holding a tray in both hands, on which was placed the seal of Gaochang and the soldiers. Qu Wentai walked in front of Du Qi, knelt down, dragged the tray with both hands, and said: “Qu Wentai, see your Royal Highness.”

Du Qi reached out and took the seal and the soldier talisman, and handed it to his servant , Then said: “Gong Ju, please start.”

Qu Wentai said: “Thank You Your Highness.”

Immediately, Qu Wentai instructed Jiang Changzong to come forward and talked about Jiang Changzong’s Identity, and then hand over the army to Du Qi. Du Qi didn’t have any hesitation. Gao Changguo’s army was not in his hands, Du Qi could not feel at ease.

Military power must be mastered.

Du Qi immediately ordered Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan to be responsible for recruiting all Gao Changguo soldiers. Du Qi did not rush to go to Gaochang, but temporarily chose to camp in the same place, and held a banquet for Qu Wentai to receive the wind.

The reason why Du Qi stayed in place was that Gao Changguo’s 20,000 soldiers had to be dispersed and reorganized, and Gao Changguo’s soldier military system was incorporated into Du Qi’s system.
