Chapter 1068: Conquer Beimo
Chapter 1068: Conquer Beimo
Since she likes to act crazy, let her really go crazy.
But he is not crazy all the time, but is crazy for a while and sober for a while.
When she wakes up and recalls what it was like when she was crazy, she will definitely collapse and would rather remain crazy than wake up.
Such punishment is the most devastating to someone like Zhang Yunwan who is arrogant, selfish and cruel.
Mo Beihan just glanced indifferently at Zhang Yunwan who was dragged away, then withdrew his gaze, took a step with his long legs, and rushed towards Qiao Ran.
Ranran took revenge on Zhang Yunwan for him, and he was secretly happy.
When the two entered the palace, the Emperor and Emperor Taizu (there was an emperor before the new emperor, so the former emperor became the founding Emperor Taizu) were playing chess in the imperial study. They were very happy to see the two coming together.
Just as Qiao Ran was about to kneel down, the Emperor said:
"No need to kneel! Qiao girl, you don't have to kneel when you see me in the future. Just treat me as your grandfather."
"Thank you, Grandfather!"
Qiao Ran thanked him naturally.
Anyway, she no longer objects to being with Mo Beihan, so she felt no awkwardness in calling him Imperial Grandfather.
When the two old men heard that they wanted to conquer Beimo and mine pyrotechnic oil, they were very excited.
Conquering the Northern Desert was their common goal, but unfortunately the country was not strong enough in the past, and food and manpower were all problems. There were also treacherous officials in power who withheld food and wages. The soldiers on the border could not even get enough food, and their weapons were inferior to those of the enemy. How could they fight?
now……
Mo Beihan said:
"Now we have replaced a group of ministers, investigated many corrupt officials, recovered the fiefs of the seven kings, and the treasury is full. Military strength is not a problem. The troops of the seven kings have been recovered, and General Zheng is still in the capital. Together with the Dingbei Army, we have more than 200,000 people. If we go to other states to mobilize troops, as long as we have 400,000 troops, Ranran and I can conquer Beimo!"
Qiao Ran also said:
"Don't worry about supplies. We have weapons, too. With the help of flaming oil, it won't be a problem for us to directly attack the Northern Desert. If the Northern Desert is not resolved, it will always be a hidden danger. They are still coveting our Dai Viet. We must destroy their country, and then they will behave themselves. In the future, they will become the people of Dai Viet, have food to eat and clothes to wear, and the people will not rebel."
Seeing that both of them were full of confidence, Emperor Taizu also said:
“Conquering the Northern Desert has always been the wish of your royal grandfather and I, and we naturally hope it can be realized.
The northern desert is bitterly cold, and our Great Yue is vast and sparsely populated. If we could relocate the people of the northern desert here, then many of the wastelands would have people to cultivate.
Just as Qiao Yatou said, only when people have food to eat and clothes to wear can they live and work in peace and not rebel.
Moreover, the North Desert is rich in mineral resources. After conquering it, we can mine the gold, iron, and kerosene, which will increase the national strength of Great Yue. It is really killing two birds with one stone!"
Since everyone said so, the emperor would naturally not object:
"In that case, let's set it for five months later! By then the weather will be warmer and the ice and snow in the Northern Frontier and Northern Desert will have melted. Our soldiers' combat capabilities will not be limited by the ice and snow, and they will not be weaker than the Northern Desert soldiers who are accustomed to the cold weather of ice and snow."
"During this period, we must gather troops, prepare food and weapons. Although our Dingbei Army has the fine weapons sent by Qiao Yatou, the weapons of other teams are still relatively old. Send down the order and have the soldiers of each army collect the old weapons and remelt them in the furnace. The mining speed of iron ore and copper mines must also be accelerated."
"The most important thing is to strictly prohibit the information from leaking to Beimo, so that Beimo will not be prepared. Then we can kill them by surprise, and Beimo, who is not well prepared, will panic, and our casualties will be smaller."
