Tibet

Chapter 410
The civil servant who followed Li Ye to fight this time was none other than Wang Changling. This was his first time participating in the battle, and he was full of interest. At this time, he was leading dozens of soldiers to count the captured enemy soldiers' belongings in the camp.

Li Ye stepped forward and asked, "How's the harvest?"

Wang Changling nodded and said with a smile: "There are more than 40 gold coins, and more than 50 silver coins. There are also countless gold and silver utensils. There are still [-]% of them that have not been counted. I don't know where these soldiers got so much money?"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "This army is the Eastern Legion of Dashi. They have existed in Tocharo for more than ten years, and their property is all stolen. In fact, it is far more than that, and they have squandered it. Immediately, the wealth from the Hamill family will arrive, that's the big head, and there are many young and beautiful women."

"The woman is Hamill's wife and concubine?" Wang Changling asked.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Wives and concubines are what we Han people say. In fact, they are women occupied by Hamill. There are more than 200 of them, all of whom are under 20 years old. Wang Shijun should choose one too!"

Old Wang Changling blushed, quickly waved his hands and said, "I don't need it, you give it to the soldiers!"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "I have no other intentions. You civil servants come from the Central Plains, and your wives and children stay at home. There is no one to take care of your daily life here. The women here have a very good characteristic, they are very docile and will Take care of people, each of you takes one person as a concubine, life will be much better, at least you can have a hot meal when you go home, and you can wash your feet with hot water at night."

When Wang Changling saw that the governor was very sincere, he didn't mean to be ridiculous, and he was very realistic. He was also a little tempted. Someone to take care of the daily life is of course better than no one. Before leaving, his wife also let him take a concubine here.

"Go back and think about it!"

"Okay! I'll send them back to Suiye first."

Wang Changling smiled and said, "The governor is not too young, isn't he considering marrying a concubine?"

Li Ye also said with a smile: "I have a woman here, the princess of Ge Luolu, who is now a saint in the Guangming Temple in Samarkand, and has married too many here, so I can't explain it when I go back."

Wang Changling laughed and said, "My mother even told me to keep an eye on you, so she was afraid that you would bring a group of barbarians' daughters-in-law back."

"She cares too much!" Li Ye said with a dry smile.

At this time, more than 100 carriages loaded with boxes and bags entered the barracks. This was the first batch of wealth sent from Hamill's house, and there were more than 200 million gold coins alone.

The last time Gao Xianzhi broke through Juzhanti, annihilating thousands of soldiers of the Great Food Eastern Legion, but he didn't get much spoils, which made Gao Xianzhi very annoyed, and simply ordered the army to plunder the wealth of the people of Juzhanti.

The wealth of the Eastern Legion was in the old nest of Bushiguo, and finally fell into the hands of Hamil, the third person in the Eastern Legion. Under the pressure of Abu Muslim, Hamill sent half of it to Mulu, and the other half was taken by him. swallowed up.

The reason why Hamir fled to Juzhanti and did not dare to return to Mulu was because he had too much wealth in his hands, and he knew that Abu Muslim would not let him go.

Soon, Pei Xiu and An Taixuan came back with their troops, and they stepped forward to give orders, "Report to the governor, we have wiped out all the fleeing enemy troops, and the leader Hamill was also shot by us, and the head was brought back. "

Pei Xiu asked the soldiers to present identifications such as heads and military badges, and Li Ye asked a civil servant in the city to identify that it was the city lord Hamill.

"Have all the corpses been disposed of?"

"They were all burned and buried deeply. All the seized items have been brought back, and some of the spoils belonged to the governor."

Pei Xiu asked the soldiers to bring up a box and a flat box.

"This is what Hamill carried with him!"

It has always been a common practice in the military that the belongings of the enemy's commander-in-chief belong to the commander-in-chief of the army as spoils of war. For example, the items belonging to the palace of the Sui Dynasty belonged to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was willing to reward his subordinates, that would be another matter.

"There is also a big knife and armor!"

The other two soldiers brought over a broadsword and a set of armor. The broadsword was average in workmanship, but its material was excellent. It was made of Utz steel and could be recast.

But the armor surprised Li Ye. The chain mail and helmet were made of gold. The helmet was inlaid with precious gemstones such as lapis lazuli, emerald, malachite, ruby, turquoise, amber, etc. Armor of a king of Fire.

The boxes and flat boxes are also made of gold, which are quite heavy, and there are small locks on them.

Hamill's belongings are his own, Li Ye is not hypocritical, and said to the soldiers: "Move to my big tent!"

Pei Xiu handed over the other captured spoils to Wang Changling, including more than 100 bags of gold coins, and other soldiers' belongings.

It will take at least two days to finish counting the spoils here.

At night, Li Ye opened the gold box, and suddenly there was a bright blue light. There were hundreds of precious lapis lazuli in the box. Tochara is Afghanistan, and it has been a place rich in gems since ancient times. The emeralds produced in Panjshir, It also produces some of the best lapis lazuli in the world.

This box of lapis lazuli was the best collection of the kings of Bushi Kingdom in the past. It was snatched by Hamill and prepared to be a family heirloom.

Li Ye took a deep breath and opened the golden flat box again. Although he was prepared in his heart, the contents in the box still made him marvel.

The box was covered with velvet and divided into twenty grids, each grid contained an emerald, under the light, it seemed to flow like water waves, each one was so green that his eyes melted, not inferior to the Caliph gem .

No wonder Hamill wanted to take it away, it was indeed a treasure like no other in the world.

Li Ye locked the flat boxes, one of which could be handed over to Madam Guo Guo, and kept the others for himself.

As for the lapis lazuli, there are quite a lot of them, and one can be given to officials and generals each, and the others should be kept by themselves.

At this time, Wang Changling's voice came from outside the big tent, "Is the governor resting?"

Li Ye put away the flat box and said with a smile, "Please come in!"

Wang Changling walked in and saluted, "Excuse me, Commander!"

"Your Majesty, please sit down!"

When Wang Changling sat down, Li Ye pulled the golden box over and said with a smile, "There are top-quality lapis lazuli in it. If you choose one, everyone else will have one."

"Thank you, Commander, I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Wang Changling took a look and found that they were all about the same. They were all the top lapis lazuli. He picked a lapis lazuli the size of an egg and held it in his hand.

Wang Changling said with a smile: "My mother-in-law believes in Buddhism. When I was in Luoyang 20 years ago, I went to the Huren jewelry store to buy lapis lazuli for her birthday. I bought a red date-sized one. The quality was far worse than this. It cost me [-] pennies. I remember that barbarian said that the best lapis lazuli in the world is in Tochara. It is collected by Buddhist temples and kings. No matter how rich you are, you can’t buy it. Now I know, it turns out that this is the best. lapis lazuli."

Li Ye smiled slightly: "We also got it by chance."

Wang Changling nodded, sighed and said: "I want to talk to the governor about the spoils of this time. It's hard for me to imagine that I can get so much wealth by breaking through a city. There are 500 million gold coins alone. I haven't counted the silver coins yet." , so many gold and silver utensils, this is just a city, if you destroy a country, don't you know how much wealth you will get?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Gao Xianzhi also captured Juzhanti last year. He thought he could get countless wealth, but in the end he got nothing. In a rage, he plundered the whole city. In fact, the wealth we got today is Gao Xianzhi last year. Didn't get it."

"Why is that?" Wang Changling asked puzzled.

"Juzhanti originally belonged to the Eastern Cao Kingdom. It was occupied by the Eastern Legion of Dashi more than ten years ago. The Eastern Legion is an army composed of Tocharian people who believe in Dashi. They have more than 1 people and their nest is in Bushi. In the past decade or so, they have looted many small countries and plundered a lot of wealth. These wealth have been transferred to Dashi one after another, but they have also kept a lot of them in private.

Their wealth was stored in the Bushi Kingdom, Gao Xianzhi thought that they were going to fight, so he specially led troops to fight, beheaded countless enemy troops, and killed the enemy's chief general, but the wealth he was thinking of was not there. Got it, I went to Shi Kingdom later and gave him half of the wealth of Shi King's palace, so he swallowed this bad breath.

After we withdrew, Hamill became the leader of the Eastern Legion, and he moved to Juzhanti, bringing the Eastern Legion and his own looted wealth, which is what we have today.

So I say that this is a blunder, unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shades. "

Wang Changling sighed for a long time, "So it is!"

After a pause, he asked again: "Did the governor know in advance that there is wealth here?"

Li Ye nodded, "I know there are, but I didn't expect there to be so many. I originally thought that there would be at most a million gold coins, and I planned to reward all the soldiers, but it was beyond my expectation."

"Then how does the governor plan to deal with it?"

Li Ye said with a smile: "One million of them are still used as rewards, and the rest will be returned to the official treasury."

"Does the governor still want to intercept the tribute to the court?"

Li Ye sneered and said, "They want to pay tribute to the imperial court. I won't let you go, but I want to collect protection money. These small countries are afraid of power but not morality. They treat them too well, and they will only think you are weak and deceitful!"
