"My dear mother-in-law, my fourth uncle and grandma, these Huns are so rich! This money is enough for me to spend in a lifetime!"
The sky had just turned dark, and the inventory of supplies in the city had just been completed, and they were all placed in the open space outside the king's tent.
Box after box of gold and silver jewelry dazzled Peng Yue and others so much that they couldn't open their eyes.
Not to mention cattle and sheep, there were hundreds of thousands of them driven outside the city by the soldiers!
"You can pull him down. It is indeed enough for you to spend several lifetimes, but in the huge Xiongnu world, it is nothing at all. If there is a natural disaster somewhere, it will not even be enough for disaster relief. Besides, in addition to the royal family, this money is not enough. A large part belongs to the people in the city, and if you deduct this part, there will be even less available!"
Zhang Han glanced at it, shook his head and sneered.
Peng Yue and others just compared this money with their own income. It was indeed an astronomical figure.
But this money belongs to the Xiongnu treasury. Whether it is paying salaries to ministers, relieving victims, developing medical care, and building various road facilities, all this money is used.
"Oh...! So that's it. If you look at it this way, you are indeed not rich. No wonder you always want to steal things from other countries!"
Several people nodded as if they suddenly understood, and understood immediately.
"But with these money and cattle and sheep, we can make Daqin rich, haha...!"
Although this money is not enough to support a country, after being sent to Xianyang, it can really fill Da Qin's treasury for a period of time.
You can start any projects that you wanted to repair but didn't before.
The people's taxes can also be reduced or reduced, allowing the people to keep more food to feed themselves and develop industry and commerce!
"Well, the Huns are living very hard with this money, but when they come to our Great Qin, it will be the icing on the cake. Let His Majesty build more artillery and mines. The military will become stronger. Let's see who dares to bully us!"
"Yes, don't bully us from now on. If we don't like anyone, we can bully them. What a great life it will be, haha!"
"No, if we destroy the Xiongnu, the people on the border will have a better life!"
"If you hit with one punch, you can avoid hundreds of punches. We defeated the Huns, and other surrounding countries must be polite to us. Let's see who dares to bully us...?"
Everyone gathered around the yard full of gold, silver and jewelry, and started talking happily.
The royal city has been captured and Mao Dun has been captured. It is only a matter of time to clean up the other tribes!
"All soldiers have contributed to the victory of the Xiongnu Royal City. Each of them will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"
Looking at the gold, silver, jewelry and rare jewelry in the yard, Xiao Zhengtai announced loudly.
"Yes, thank you young master!"
"Thank you young master...!"
Everyone present put down what they were doing and quickly thanked the young lady.
If you follow the young master on an expedition, you can get military honors without much effort, and every time you win a battle, you will receive a hefty reward!
You know, their annual salary does not reach ten gold.
From the time of the expedition to now, not to mention food and drink, just the rewards alone have already amounted to dozens of gold, which is enough for their family to spend several years!
Now everyone was more energetic. Those who should carry things carried things, and those who should drive carriages drove carriages. All the soldiers' faces were filled with smiles!
By the time it was completely dark, all the treasures had been moved out of the royal city and sent to Yanmen County.
"Order people to prepare torches and burn this Xiongnu royal city to me. From now on, there will never be a Xiongnu country again!"
Standing outside the city, Xiao Zhengtai gave the order seriously.
"Burn it? It would be a pity to burn such a big city, right? In the future, we can repair the city walls and send troops to station them for a long time!"
The Xiongnu area is very large. They will not just conquer it and return it to the Qin Dynasty, but they will have to send troops to garrison it to prevent other small countries around them from taking advantage.
They are nomadic people and have relatively few cities, let alone such a large city. Wang Ben always feels a pity when it is burned down!
"The garrison can be rebuilt, but the Xiongnu royal city must be burned...!"
Xiao Zhengtai looked up at the dilapidated city wall and continued: "The royal city is like a belief. If it is not completely destroyed, the people will inevitably have the desire to restore the country. Only by completely destroying it can they stop this idea. Gradually be assimilated and become the common people of our Great Qin!"
"Oh! So that's it...!"
Wang Ben suddenly realized, "Don't worry, young master, I will take care of it right away, and I will ensure that this idea of theirs will be burned to the ground!"
"Brothers, follow me to find dry firewood!"
After giving the order, the soldiers immediately dispersed, looking for something that could ignite the fire.
Within half an hour, everything was ready, and the city was covered with fire starters!
"Young Master, torch...!"
When he was ready, Wang Ben handed the torch to Xiao Zhengtai and let him light it.
Ying Feiyu was not polite, took the torch, looked at it calmly and thoughtfully for a long time, and threw it to the pile of firewood.
Other soldiers holding torches followed closely and threw the torches out one after another to ignite the dry wood!
Suddenly, flames shot into the sky, and the whole city was on fire, making the dark night look like day!
"The Huns have bullied our Qin Dynasty for many years and slaughtered countless people in our Qin Dynasty. Today I finally avenged them!"
Looking at the sea of fire in front of him, Wang Ben said with emotion.
"There will be no more Huns from now on, and they will disappear completely from the history books!"
Zhang Han looked serious and breathed a sigh of relief.
The night sky was suddenly illuminated by firelight. Mao Dun, who was being escorted to Xianyang overnight, turned around and found that the royal city was burned. He was stunned for a long time, and then his knees weakened and he collapsed on the ground, crying loudly!
The ministers had previously advised him to keep the green hills there so that he would not have to worry about running out of firewood.
Well now, the royal city is gone. Even if he is still alive, what's the use?
"Hurry up and don't waste time. You are no longer the aloof and mighty Xiongnu chanyu. You are just a prisoner now. If you don't leave quickly, do you still expect us to be able to carry you in a sedan chair?"
"Get up quickly!"
The escorting soldiers went straight up with both feet, spreading all the Qin's resentment towards the Huns on Mao Dun.
"Hahaha……!"
Mao Dun also didn't expect that he would be bullied by a few ordinary soldiers after being famous all his life. The tears on his face were not dry yet, and he suddenly laughed at himself.
"You are crying and laughing at the same time. Are you crazy?"
"Huh! There's no point in pretending to be crazy or being stupid, get up quickly!"
Under the repeated urging of the soldiers, Maodun, who was heartbroken, staggered to his feet and walked forward with heavy steps, like a zombie.
"It's over, it's completely over now, the royal city has been burned, we really have no hope!"
"We have become prisoners. Even if the royal city is not burned, do you think we can go back? Stop dreaming!"
"Yes, even if someone succeeds in restoring the country, they can't spend money and effort to get us!"
"well……!"
The Hun soldiers who had just been captured were filled with despair when they saw the light of the fire. With their heads hanging down, they were driven towards Yanmen County by the Qin army.
