The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 286: Entertain or raise livestock?

"This time I don't plan to use the previous method to welcome the Tibetan delegation, but hold a military parade in front of them."

"Welcome your troops before them."

"Show us the elite of our army."

Lin Hai expressed his thoughts.

Yuhuashi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You are preparing to demonstrate to them."

Lin Hai smiled mysteriously: "You are absolutely right. Either scare the Tubo people this time and be honest in the future. Or completely piss them off and give them a good fight."

"I have carefully analyzed the current war situation. If Tubo dares to mobilize troops, it will probably bring the Turks together."

"But they will not attack me together if they send troops, Daxia."

"As long as they are completely defeated with lightning speed, the Turks will immediately retreat and beg for mercy."

"What you said is correct. The question is how to completely defeat Tibet in a short time? They are all cavalry, and our artillery has been known to the enemy. It is not that easy to attack by surprise.

Their cavalry is flexible and will retreat immediately if things go wrong.

What's more, the artillery is very obvious and can be seen clearly from a distance.

Avoiding the muzzle will prevent us from being bombarded, and our artillery will be unable to function. "Yu Huashi said with a frown.

"Last time we faced the Turks' attack, didn't we resist for a long time with gunpowder packets, so we bought enough time for the prince?"

"This time I improved the gunpowder bag and threw it directly by hand."

"In the future, you can ride on a horse and bomb the enemy, but this is a secret weapon and must be kept strictly confidential."

"At present, apart from me, the four of us, including the prince, the queen mother and you, know. We must keep it a secret before the war!"

Lin Hai quickly warned.

Although Yuhuashi doesn't know what a grenade looks like.

However, the scene of using gunpowder to defeat the enemy last time is still vivid in my mind.

If there is such a convenient weapon, the enemy can indeed be caught off guard.

"Okay, since you are sure, it must be feasible. I will listen to you on how to train the army!" Yuhuashi agreed immediately.

"This training is all about momentum, combat effectiveness is not a priority. The key is to overwhelm the Tibetan envoys as soon as they appear..."

Lin Hai showed how the military parade would be conducted and drew the formation on the ground.

Yuhuashi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and also put forward his own opinions from time to time.

After the two people discussed it, they asked people to start training with the ceremonial guard.

No one is allowed in or out of the entire school grounds.

All soldiers are not allowed to enter or leave the military camp and are under closed management.

Outsiders who want to pry can't get in at all.

Because the amount of training was heavy, Lin Hai simply paid for it out of his own pocket so that the soldiers could eat meat every meal.

The trained team also drinks alcohol in the evening.

Although the training is very hard, everyone is very motivated when encountering such a good meal.

I have never had such a good meal in my life.

No one complains about being tired. They train hard every day just so they can have a good drink at night.

Living this day is better than eating during the Chinese New Year.

Lin Hai and Yu Huashi were very busy these days, and they almost always came home very late.

The ministers in the court felt very strange.

Many officials heard about Lin Hai's quarrel with the Minister of Rites.

They couldn't figure out what Lin Hai wanted to do.

Except for following the unruly rituals, he didn't care about anything else.

You must know that receiving a mission is not just a welcome ceremony.

Later, it also involves issues of reception, food, and negotiation.

Even Tubo would try every means to create problems for Daxia in order to compete for their own interests.

These things must be carefully considered.

But Lin Hai was not prepared at all.

I didn’t ask them for advice.

The officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who were trying to trick Lin Hai felt like they were punched in the cotton wool.

Almost suffocated to death.I heard that Lin Hai was hiding in the North Conquest Army camp every day, and many people wanted to find out the news.

Everyone was blocked outside, not to mention other officials, even if the prince came.

No face was given at all, and there was no way to get in.

Other officials who wanted to inquire about the news had to give up their thoughts upon seeing this.

Qiaoer and Princess Chenxi found Li Ruoxue and were very happy to learn that her ban had been lifted.

Especially the marriage was rejected.

The three women no longer had any worries and returned to the newspaper office.

The news of the arrival of the Tibetan mission was big news.

There has to be some hype.

They got some news from Lin Hai and wrote a little bit every day and sent it out.

Keep the people's appetites whetted.

I can't wait to read tomorrow's newspaper every day to see if there will be any good news.

Especially since Lin Hai was the reception official, the people were looking forward to it.

Many people know Lin Hai's character. He is upright and never willing to suffer losses.

Now Daxia has just won a battle and is full of momentum.

This time we must not let Tubo take advantage.

The sales of newspapers have soared, and the sales of lottery tickets are also getting better and better.

Especially every time the big prize is drawn, it will be very lively, and people often win the first prize.

More and more people want to get rich overnight, and it has become a habit for many people to try their luck by buying lottery tickets.

Of course, there are also many gamblers who buy a lot at once in order to increase their chances of winning.

The daily profit from the lottery almost exceeds ten thousand taels of silver.

Because now it is not only sold in the capital, but also in many surrounding state capitals.

Just check the newspaper to find out the winning numbers.

The newspapers printed every day will be delivered immediately by fast horse.

Even people from other places can see the latest newspapers by the evening of the next day at the latest.

Small prizes can be claimed locally, while first prizes must be claimed in the capital.

And for safety reasons after receiving the award, Lin Hai will send a team of cavalry to escort him.

This can solve all the worries of the lottery winners.

It's almost time for the Tibetan mission to arrive.

Lin Hai then asked people to prepare a place to stay and food.

It cost a hundred pence to find a few people to clean it up.

The bed was just covered with some straw and two sheepskins.

Yuhuashi couldn't stand it anymore. This wasn't entertaining the envoys. It was almost like raising animals.

"Brother Lin, are you sure you are entertaining the Tibetan envoys like this?"

"Why not? This is how they usually sleep. What is this called? It makes them feel like home!"

Yuhuashi: "..."

"By the way, soak all the water here with croton."

"Hmph, let's see if I can kill you!"

Yuhuashi couldn't help but shudder.

The person Lin Hai wants to deal with will definitely end up extremely miserable.

One can almost imagine how miserable those Tibetan envoys would be.

After drinking the water soaked in croton, I still suffered from diarrhea and collapse.

"Is this really possible?" Yuhuashi confirmed again.

"Why not! They have had diarrhea every day since they came here. We can say that they are not accustomed to the climate. These people will definitely report after they go back. They cannot adapt to the climate of Great Xia, so they may not dare to have any evil thoughts."

"Best regards, Brother Lin!"
