Chapter 152 The situation is changing, and so is the strategy(1/2)
Xie Ming received the order: to attack Shen'an Arm City, wait for the information of the Jinyiwei, and wait until the reinforcements moved quickly, and immediately led the men and artillery to fight against Genting.
When we arrived at Genting, we also acted as a magic weapon, and then moved to Yizhou after the news of Zhao Mengxi.
When he arrived at the city of Yizhou, he didn't need the Jinyiwei to instruct him. He ran away with two cannons. Then he could fight guerrillas along the bank of the Yangtze River, specifically ambushing the supply grain ships on the river.
But who would have thought that something went wrong in the first step, and the Divine Arm City surrendered.
You should know that Shenbing City is the name of the Song people. It was decades ago that Yu Jie, Wang Jian, and others used the terrain to build a city and abandoned the old Luzhou City as a whole and moved it to the new city. It was called Shenbing.
In other words, Shenbing City is Luzhou City.
However, he accidentally took down Luzhou. What should he do?
Now, Xie Ming is facing two problems:
If he abandoned it and ran away, the strategic intentions of the Song army would be exposed. If he did not answer quickly and did not answer stupidly, he would not take any action but would not take any action, so he would be to lead him to help.
If he goes to the city to take over, then there will be no way to do the next thing.
If Wangxiangying stays to defend the city, who will go to Genting? Who will go to Yizhou? Who will go to the riverside to fight guerrillas?
Xie Ming had no choice but to shoot the arrow on the string.
On the one hand, he ordered Wangxiangying to enter the city to take over Luzhou, and on the other hand, he sent someone back to Diaoyu City to report the situation ahead, waiting for Zhang Jue, Zhao Wei and others to make an idea.
So, the Yuan Dynasty officials in Luzhou Prefecture did not lift their pants. They were sleeping and only heard a few cannons. When they opened their eyes, the city was gone.
......
More than 400 miles from Luzhou to Diaoyu City, the commander ordered the soldiers and horses to stop, and two war horses were killed and they arrived in one day.
When Zhao Wei and a group of ministers and generals were all stunned when they heard that Luzhou was defeated.
Zhang Jue was sweating coldly, "No, I'm going to get out of control!"
In the original plan, there was no such step as Luzhou, and there were no soldiers guarding Shenbing City in Diaoyu City.
"Send Xie Ming to withdraw quickly, otherwise he will not be able to come out if he is surrounded in the city!"
"Let's go!" But Wen Tianxiang stopped Zhang Jue, "General, don't worry! There is still some time, let's re-exercise and practice it before talking about it."
Based on his feelings, Wen Tianxiang believed that it was too early to make a conclusion on Luzhou now.
So, several old husbands and Zhang Jue sat around and deduced it again from a global perspective, and found that it was not as bad as imagined.
And, in a sense, it's a good thing!
Because you will find that the biggest disadvantage of taking over Luzhou is that Wangxiangying is trapped in Luzhou and cannot implement the next plan. But the benefits are also obvious.
Now, it is not that Luzhou was attacked, but that Luzhou was lost. The quick answer is not a question of whether it is support or not, but how many troops can be sent to grab it back.
Don’t lose Lingxiao City again if it’s not captured and Luzhou is lost, then his joke is a big deal.
And the only difficulty between the two is: Can you win Luzhou firmly?
After some negotiations, it was finally decided to ask Zhao Wei to go to Luzhou in person and take two thousand Sichuan troops to replace Wangxiangying.
In this way, Wangxiangying can continue to take action below. Whether it can take Luzhou firmly depends on Zhao Wei.
If you take a step back, even if you can't get it firmly, you can still withdraw calmly with the information from the Jinyiwei.
Before leaving, Wen Tianxiang and others came to see him off in person.
"It depends on your highness whether it succeeds or not!"
Zhao Wei clasped his fists to everyone, "Let's wait for the news from me."
On the fourth day, Zhao Wei brought two thousand Sichuan troops into Shenbing City, Luzhou.
After completing the handover with Xie Ming, he personally sent him to Genting City.
Back in the city, Zhao Wei went straight into Luzhou Prefecture.
"No matter whether Mongolian and Han, as long as those who are willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and will remain in their original position! Those who do not follow will be killed without mercy!"
As he spoke, Zhao Wei asked the soldiers to carry up ten large boxes, full of white silver.
When the officials of Luzhou Prefecture saw this, they still need to choose? If they don’t surrender, they will be cut off their heads. If they surrender, they will still have money to surrender. So a fool will not surrender?
Moreover, many of them were Han officials, and there were a few Mongolians and Semu people.
At this moment, a group of officials from Luzhou Government bowed in unison, and His Highness Shanhuning King benevolent, was considered to have surrendered to the Song Dynasty in name.
The reason why it is said to be nominal is that the Song Dynasty is not now, and it is forced to decline the Song Dynasty due to the situation. No one can say whether it will be repeated in the future.
However, Zhao Wei doesn't care about these things, no matter whether you are a Song or a Yuan in your heart, it's enough to just give in.
The officials were immediately instructed to submit detailed records of the household registration, slave registration, public land, private land, military and political personnel, etc. in Luzhou, and asked the officials to go to the city to summon the heads of the people and serfs gathered in front of the government office.
On the other hand, there were thousands of Luzhou defenders who had surrendered by the Sichuan Army generals and brought them together.
When the whole country of Luzhou gathered in front of the government office, Zhao Wei began to name the list according to the list.
At first, the officials and the people were still wondering what name should I call? No matter how inferior Luzhou was, there were tens of thousands of people. Can you call it?
However, it was later discovered that Zhao Wei ordered all the Mongolian and Seme nobles who had been enfeoffed here.
They have a common characteristic, that is, they have a lot of land and a lot of serfs.
Zhao Wei took out a total of sixty or seventy households.
Seeing that the first list was over, Zhao Wei put the list together and said, "Kill!!"
Without saying a word, the Sichuan Army slashed with a knife, and dozens of wealthy nobles were killed immediately on the spot.
Everyone's heart trembled, but Zhao Wei said, "If the people behind cannot hear it, they will bother the elders in front of them to pass on the message. Today's matter is urgent, so I will only talk about the key points."
"First, at the beginning, all slave households in Luzhou will change their household registration to good people. If there are private slaves in the family, they need to release slaves and become good people, and they will not be included in the above-mentioned killings. If they are willing to release slaves, the government will use one slave to pay four fields as a price, and the equivalent value will be exchanged."
"Secondly, the land of Luzhou was 30,000 mu, and the land of 72 noble households enthroned by the Mongolian Yuan was killed, and the land of 40,000 were confiscated. There were more than 13,000 good households in Luzhou, 67,000 slaves, and more than 188,000 mu of land."
"The 8,000 mu of military land is deducted, and the surplus land is per capita. From now on, all good slaves can calculate the capital by taking the capital to obtain two mu of land per person. If the land in the good household is less than the per capita, they can also go to the government to replenish the land."
"If there is insufficient public land, then use the confiscated fields to make up for it. If there is insufficient public land, then use the money to make up for it!"
"Each acre of land is worth 15 stags at the official price. If you want the land, you can choose it."
When everyone heard this, they almost suffocated and didn't react for a long time.
What is this for? The slaves are good at doing good, and they still share the land in vain! The good households are not as good as the average person, so they still provide them with land. I have never heard of such a good thing in my eight lifetimes.
"Is this true?" Some serfs burst into tears, "King Ning is the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva!"
Seeing this, Zhao Wei smiled slightly, "I will speak without any vain!"
"Come here!!"
With a command, hundreds of Sichuan soldiers carried hundreds of large boxes at the entrance of the government office.
Only Zhao Wei's voice is like a big bell, "I know that there is definitely not enough public land, and most of them have to be repaid with silver and money. Therefore, I have prepared the money and are waiting to share it with everyone!"
As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the Sichuan Army lifted all the boxes up and down, all of which were white silver.
That’s right, Zhao Weiwei’s method is simple and crude - to spend money!!
This time when he came to Luzhou, he brought a total of million taels of silver to kill him.
Have the people seen so much money? Not to mention them, the officials of Luzhou Prefecture have seen so much money? It is scary.
I am convinced of Zhao Wei's words.
After dealing with the people of Luzhou, Zhao Wei turned to the thousand new affiliated troops who surrendered.
He spoke, "I know that you were all soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and later surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and now you surrendered to the Song Dynasty."
"I don't want to pursue it, but I can't believe you. Therefore, your family and the elderly will temporarily move to Diaoyu City! But don't worry, as long as you have no unfaithful intentions, I will protect my personality to ensure that they can eat and wear good clothes in Diaoyu City, and only enjoy happiness and no suffering at all."
"And, in order to make you feel at ease, I have also set rules."
The surrendered troops bowed their heads silently and gradually felt ashamed.
But there is no way. In the years of chaos, some people join the army for their country, and some people join the army for their sakes.
Now that he has surrendered to the Song Dynasty, it is normal for people to believe it. It’s just... it’s really a bit of a loss for kidnapping the family and the young!
A leading centurion frowned and asked, "What rules? Your Highness said it is!"
Zhao Wei said, "From today, everyone... pays one tael of silver every day until they defeat the Yuan army!"
"!!!"
The surrendered army was shocked, one or two taels of silver were found! He was so fucking generous!
One or two silver coins can be exchanged for three guan Zhongtong money.
In other words, the salary for a day is three guan, and a month is 150 guan.
What about a year?
They can't calculate it, anyway, they can't make money in their entire life.
Is it something that everyone has to be moved?
The centurion who had just frowned, now immediately exposed his back teeth, "Don't worry, your highness, we will definitely die!"
