"What!?" Hearing this, the official was startled and said with wide eyes: "Such evil behavior must be dealt with strictly, otherwise, the advancement of the law will be difficult to implement."
"That's right!" Lu Fan said: "In the past, under the barbaric rule of King Xirong, many tribes still retained the system of slave society. Now that Western Xinjiang is under the rule of the Qin State, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen!"
"In this matter, we must catch an example! To understand the law!"
After saying that, Lu Fan immediately said: "You immediately ride on a fast horse and send a message to General Gao Sachs, asking for the garrison's assistance and mobilizing troops to suppress Jirong!"
"Yes!" the official responded.
Lu Fan added: "In addition, based on the past habit of tribal plunder, a decree was immediately issued that bows and crossbows are strictly prohibited in the entire Western Xinjiang!"
This matter is not trivial. When the official heard this, he couldn't help but tentatively asked: "Should this... be reported to the court?"
"Of course, this matter needs to be reported to the king. You go and prepare first. I will write a letter right away." Lu Fan said.
"Yes, I'll take care of it now," the official said with a salute.
The Western Xinjiang garrison was not far from Xining City, and the letter requesting military assistance quickly reached Goldman Sachs.
In the military tent, after reading the letter, Goldman Sachs also slapped the table in anger.
Seeing this, Wang He couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "General, I don't know what happened."
Goldman Sachs glanced at him and said coldly: "The Jirong thieves are so bold that they massacred villages and killed our officials! Now, Lord Lu Fan, in the name of the Protectorate, is requesting our army's assistance to send troops to suppress them."
"What!?" When the generals in the tent heard this, they were all shocked. One general immediately said: "Isn't this a blatant rebellion! We can't let the Ji Rong run rampant!"
"Yes, General, this matter is very serious. If we don't wipe it out, there will be no peace in the Western Frontier!"
Listening to the words of the generals, Goldman Sachs said: "The mission of our army is to guard the Western Border. Wherever there is chaos, we must quell it as soon as possible. There is nothing good to say!"
After saying that, he also looked at Wang He and said directly: "Wang He, you immediately lead five thousand troops to find out where Ji Rong is hiding. You must put an end to this chaos without making any mistakes!"
"No!" The latter raised his fists and shook his voice.
The troop dispatch here was very fast, without any delay at all. Under the military order, Wang He ordered his troops and horses, equipped with strong bows and crossbows, and began to rush towards Yongdeng.
In just a few days, we are almost approaching Yongdeng.
At this time, spies from the military aircraft camp also began to report back and forth.
"Report~~~~"
"General, we have discovered that the Jirong bandits are heading west from the Yongdeng area."
"Explore again."
"promise!"
After the spies left, Wang He sat on his war horse and took out the map while following the army.
A captain of a thousand soldiers stood beside him and said tentatively: "General, no matter how stupid this Jirong is, he should know by now that our army is going to suppress them, so he may flee in advance."
"Yes." Wang He nodded, his eyes still on the map, and said: "They ran west. There are two possibilities, either entering Huaitong County or here."
As he spoke, he clicked on a place on the map.
The commander leaned forward and looked, "Then... what the general means is..."
Wang He put away the map and said: "They must not be allowed to enter Huaitong again! Send my military order to march diagonally upwards, speed up, and stop Jirong in the wild before he can!"
"No!" The captain clasped his fists, pulled the reins, and conveyed the order.
"The general has an order! The entire army changes its route and speeds up—"
On the avenue, black armor and red tassels look like a long dragon, with flags fluttering and halberds standing in clusters.
At the same time, Qin Palace.
Due to the strength of military intelligence, the letter has reached Xiao Yuan's hands through Falcon.
After understanding the situation in Western Xinjiang, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but throw the bamboo slips in his hand onto Wang's case.
Although it was just a simple movement, the ministers in the court meeting hall still lowered their waists.
Then, Xiao Yuan spoke: "In reply to Lu Fan, the imperial court approved the control of crossbows and swords in Western Xinjiang."
"In addition, tell Goldman Sachs that all Ji Rong must be annihilated, leaving no one behind."
This is obviously to kill one person as a warning to others, and to use Ji Rong as an example. If you dare to ignore the laws of the country, you must pay the price.
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Then, Liu Yuzhi stood up and said with a slight worry: "Your Majesty, the rebellion in Jirong only needs to be quelled. There is no need..."
"Okay, this matter doesn't need to be discussed further." Xiao Yuan interrupted him directly. A wise king, while ruling the people with benevolence, would never be merciful in the face of rebellion.
Xiao Yuan had many killing incidents, and there were even more cases of eradicating the roots.
Being rejected by him, Liu Yuzhi moved the corners of his mouth and hesitated to speak, but finally returned to the train.
After saying this, Xiao Yuan added: "The current Western Xinjiang is at the beginning of governance. There is no room for any mistakes. Any forces that ignore national laws must be quickly eliminated."
"The rebellion caused by the Hebei Rong must be punished as treason and the public must be corrected!"
As he spoke, he picked up a silk letter from Wang's case, raised it in his hand and said, "This letter was sent by Lu Fan not long ago, and it focused on the construction of the market and the unification of currency."
"Based on the fact that in the early stage of Western Xinjiang, it is difficult to administer the government, the imperial court should allocate funds. Therefore, I wish to allocate 20 million taels of silver for the normal operation of the Xining Protectorate and the implementation of the Western Xinjiang policy."
Having said this, the ministers on the left and right couldn't help but whisper.
Afterwards, Jia You stood up, bowed deeply and said: "The king wants to focus on the western frontier. The ministers have no objections. The treasury is quite sufficient in gold and silver, but is 20 million taels of silver too much?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Yi followed and said, "In my opinion, Lord Lu Fan has outstanding talents and will have no problem in governing the Western Border. With his abilities, he can be self-sufficient as long as he is initially stabilized. Our country’s military resources and armaments consume a lot of money, so the more sufficient the national treasury is, the better.”
"I second the proposal." Yao Tingyu also stood up and said: "It is necessary to allocate money to Western Xinjiang, but I think that ten million taels of silver is enough, and we can definitely open up one or two in Western Xinjiang."
"I also second my opinion."
Looking at the ministers coming out, Xiao Yuan thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Okay, according to what the ministers said, we will first allocate 10 million taels of silver, which is more important than administration and the opening of commerce."
The Qin State now occupies half of the country, and it is in the Central Plains and the North. The country is stable, and it is actually not short of money now.
Xiao Yuan, the monarch, was not very good at finance. Although he did not do anything extravagant, he sometimes spent money carelessly, which required ministers like Jia You to manage it.
A few days later, the king's order was sent back to Western Xinjiang.
To the right of Huaitong County, more than fifty miles away, is Tongshan.
Under Wang He's military deployment, the Ji Rong group has been intercepted here. They are hiding in this mountain and dare not come out.
