Chapter 677 Warm Water Battle (1)

"Xiong Niang, do you still remember how I dealt with Ziqi last year?" Wang Ju asked.

Wang Ju can be said to be a big family and a big business now, but sometimes he is not at home. Qiong Niang is an idea-worthy person, and as time goes by, the influence of his previous life on him has faded, so he has changed his attitude towards Qiong Niang. Sometimes he deliberately teaches, so when he is not here, Qiong Niang can preside over some small things for him.

Remember how Wu Zetian got to power?

Or if time goes by, will Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi regret it? I guess he will not regret it yet.

However, compared to Wu Zetian, Qiong Niang definitely couldn't catch up, and her ambitions were also much smaller.

Wang Ju just gave a prompt, and Qiong Niang became interested, but she asked again: "I heard that there are many mountains and forests over there."

"Not bad, but there is still a terrain over there called Karst..." Wang Ju said, and then went to Ziqi.

Crossing the warm water is Ziqi.

The northern terrain of the warm water of Shicheng County in Qi and Dali is very similar, that is, the northwest is high, mountains and forests, low in the southeast, and slopes.

This slope is different from the slope of the Loess Plateau, which is thousands of mountains and valleys. The slope here is very flat, as flat as a plain.

However, it is not a plain, and there are many stone forests. The most famous stone forest is the stone forest next to Kunming, in the southwest, and the famous karst landform. However, these stone forests from Qi are different from the famous stone forest in Kunming. There are more dense stone forests there, and are mostly bare real stone peaks. The stone forests here are slightly sparse and wider, with flat slopes occupying 70% of the surface area, less than 30% of the stone forests, and less than 10% of the sparse places. And because of several rivers passing by and the water system is developed, the stone forest itself is mostly weathered because it is sparse. Therefore, dense plants and trees grow on each stone forest, thus becoming beautiful "show peaks", forming a beautiful landscape.

Wang Julai was not looking at the scenery. He continued to drive northwest without stopping.

However, Wang Ju also looked at the villages intentionally. It seemed that they should be very stable. They passed by, and the people who were doing farm work stopped their work and stared at them. There was only curiosity in their eyes and no other negative emotions.

Wang Ju nodded in his heart.

To govern a region, you must have some deterrent means. But you must be more gentle. Why did the Song Dynasty fail? Was it wrong to show kindness to the people?

If you give kindness to the people and don’t thank them, that’s the god of mercy.

The Song Dynasty’s policy of Huairou cannot be said to have done something wrong. The one who is wrong is not Huairou itself, but the object of Huairou.

The target of this is not the people, but the various barbarians, which are the chieftains later.

It involves another question, why is the higher the official position, or the richer it is, the less patriotic it is. On the contrary, the poorer it is, the more patriotic it is?

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the system is not sound, and it is difficult for people with both moral integrity and ability to rise to power. Whether doing business or in politics, the higher the people are scheming people. In order to get ahead, they have to use various illegal means. How can such people put national interests above their own interests? In other words, the higher the person, the lower the patriotism ratio.

The same is true for the barbarian policy mistakes in the Song Dynasty.

The barbarian leaders who could win over the Song Dynasty were all rebellious and large tribes, and they had enough power in their hands. How could such people know how to be grateful? The softer the Song Dynasty was, the more they encouraged their ambitions.

Wang Ju didn't say it, he just knew how to do it.

This is where the latter "attack the local tyrants and all wealth", but a village also needs a leader, who will assist the government in completing taxes and conveying various government orders. So Wang Ju asked someone to execute some arrogant barbarians and let the people of each village choose a virtuous elder, but there were two restrictions. First, it is best to recognize a few words to understand the certificate issued by the government. Second, the situation in the family cannot be too good, otherwise it will evolve into the second barbarian. However, the new village chief will exempt the government from the government's personal income, and in addition, they will enjoy a subsidy of more than ten yuan of wealth every year, which is actually included in the system of the exemption law.

This son-in-law was also the target of the bricks in later generations.

The reason why there is this kind of money for dying is that many barbarian areas cannot use the area of ​​arable land to collect two taxes. Therefore, there is another method. It uses part of the tax system of the Tang Dynasty, and does not count the taxes based on land, but taxes based on the taxes. A man is 20 years old and aged 60 years old. He does not collect money for dying before the age of 20, and does not collect money for dying after the age of 60. Therefore, the only areas where dying money is 6 Zhejiang, Fujian, Jinghu and Guangnan South Road are 6 Roads. The money for dying money on Liangzhe Road is not pure money for dying money, but also salt money. As for Fujian Road, it is not for the barbarians. The main reason is that there are few lands here, there are many mountains, and many people do business or fishing. If the taxes are calculated based on the land, it will put pressure on the people who farm. It will be less taxed and less taxes, which is unfair to other regions. Therefore, it is levied together with the two taxes. Jinghu and Guangnan are targeted at the macabarians.

And the number is not very large. Emperor Zhenzong of Song once dismissed his penny for a year, with more than 400,000 guan. Now it is a little more than when Emperor Zhenzong of Song, but it is less than one million guan. If a large area is divided into hundreds of thousands of guan, can it be said that it is too much?

But why some problems arise? It is not that the body is too much money, but that in addition to the body is too much money, there is also the exploitation of various barbarians. Now that another body is added, it undoubtedly becomes a straw that breaks the camel. In fact, it is not the last straw that breaks the camel, but the straw that breaks the camel, which is the main reason. Perhaps in order to take care of ethnic minorities, the bricks can't see this.

Since Wang Ju wanted to directly control these areas, management costs would inevitably occur, and money for quitting money was inevitable. In addition to quitting wine, although quitting wine could not be implemented, the quitting salt policy was also introduced. In addition to quitting salt, there were also commercial taxes and other taxes that local people could accept.

In order to collect money from Ding, Wang Ju divided the targets of the barbarians into two types. The first type is very arrogant, and the second type is that they exploit ordinary barbarians seriously, and pushed the attack area from Hengshanzhai to Ziqi.

Without these cruel exploitation of the barbarians, can the money for the people be burdened with?

In order to increase commercial tax, not only do the same tax, but also promote the development of commercial trade.

There are also some policies to be gentle.

For example, building roads, water conservancy, opening schools for them, etc.

In addition to these policies, there are also some small activities, such as these dolls.

Wang Ju set up several workshops in Yongzhou to make various dolls, ceramic dolls, plush dolls made of cotton and wool, and wooden dolls. In addition, he also made some leather balls or other cute toys, printed more than a dozen comic strips, and then asked Ye Long Meesheng to take charge of the affairs and distribute them to the children in various villages. Why is Ye Long Meesheng? One is a foreigner and the other is a barbarian. They are not Han people, so this is better persuasive.

Although it took a lot of money, the entire Guangnan West Road was still a place with a vast land and sparsely populated area. Each child had a gift, and the number of teenagers and children was only 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, so the cost was something that Wang Ju could bear.

However, in this way, most barbarians will be happy, and the commotion brought about by Wang Ju's promotion of the new policy will naturally subside.

This stability laid a good foundation for the next battle.

Wang Ju came to Qizhou Prefecture City and built a village on the business road. It was no better than the Yezhu Village. I can only say that the city wall is more formal.

The officials in the city welcomed the generals out, and Wang Ju just made a few remarks and went to the front line.

Yanda is preparing for the war.

Wang Ju asked: "What's the situation?"

"They sent an envoy, but I followed the instructions of the Young Guard and refused tactfully. But I deliberately let them see the army...

This is Wang Ju's idea.

It turned out that most of the weapons armed by the indigenous people and the weapons seized from Jiaozhi were given to Chameng people as gifts of friendship.

However, a small number of weapons seized from Jiaozhi were of good quality, and Wang Ju kept them, so these weapons were useful in the future. As for the army organized by Wang Ju in Guangnan, Wang Ju spared no expense to fully armed, all of which were new chain mail, new knives, compound bows and a small number of divine arm bows. These weapons were no longer needed. However, Wang Ju sent people to send these weapons and food to Ziqi in advance.

Wuman sent envoys to seek peace. Yan Da followed Wang Ju's instructions to arrange and deliberately asked the Song army who came to hide the original armor and weapons, and replaced them with Jiaozhi's armor and weapons, or they did not wear armor, but only held bamboo bows and signs made by local barbarians to misunderstand the Wuman.

Wang Ju looked at the military camp again. Most of the soldiers were still wearing this kind of ragged armor, or not, and continued to confuse the enemy. However, the military camp was orderly, Wang Ju nodded and said, "Go and see the military camp of the Wu Barbarians."

"Haha," Yao Xiong smiled strangely.

"Yao Xiong, why are you laughing at?"

"Young Bao, you'll know if you go and take a look."

Wang Ju and his group came to a hillside to the west with puzzled thought, in front of which was where Wuman gathered his army.

Yao Xiong said again: "Young Bao, look at it."

Wang Ju raised his telescope and looked west.

Many barbarians were gathering one after another, and some barbarians came over with food, grass and livestock, unloaded the food, and then left the barracks and returned.

When the war came, the Song army had to prepare food and grass, and Wuman had to prepare food and grass.

The difference is that the Song army's food and grass were transported by various materials as early as a few months ago when the road was built and water conservancy was built, and secretly gathered in the city of Qizhou. The Wuman gathered immediately, otherwise what should we do? So many soldiers came, just to eat and drink, and after more than ten days, they ate the Yezhu tribe. Therefore, when they asked for help from other Wuman tribes, they not only asked for help, but also asked for help from the soldiers, but also to support them.

This is not something that Yao Xiong feels funny and despised. It makes him laugh at one word: Chaos!

Many barbarians came, but now their barracks are in a mess. In addition, the soldiers behind them are gathering constantly, and supplies are escorted to unload from time to time, so they are already in chaos.

Yao Xiong said: "Shaobao, give me five thousand cavalry, and I will soon have one more victory."

Wang Ju smiled and turned his head to look at Yan Da. Yan Da said with a little ashamed: "I understand why Shaobao took Dali."

Perhaps the soldiers in Dali were stronger than the Song army. At least the soldiers of various ethnic groups of Wuman were more ruthless than most of the soldiers on Guangnan West Road. But they could not do it together, and they were so chaotic that they were not as messy as an army at all.

So Yao Xiong laughed at him with contempt, but Yan Da thought of what Wang Ju said before.

Dali is Dali, Nanzhao is Nanzhao. Although the Meng family was able to defeat the Tang army, Yang Guozhong was incompetent in command, but at that time, the Meng family Nanzhao was expanding. The war was endless, the army was strong in combat and morale. After a large-scale war, the army cooperated well. On the contrary, Yang Guozhong was a new army organized in a hurry, so the Tang army was defeated, which was not a portrayal of the true strength of the two countries.

When we arrived in Dali, even Duan replaced Yang's family, there was almost no tragic war. Or it was the attack on Jiaozhi and he was beaten to escape in a panic.

The tribes may have fought endlessly and fought endlessly, which led to many soldiers being more fierce, but they would not work together.

Can a large army without military discipline and cooperation still fight a good war?

Therefore, he was defeated by Jiaozhi.

It is precisely this situation that attacking Jiaozhi will not cost much, including the casualties of soldiers.

"General Yan, how many troops have you come?" Wang Ju asked. This is easier to observe, because each unit forms an army, but Wang Ju just takes a look and can't change himself to lower his identity as a scout.

"There are fifteen tribes now, and there are probably some tribes who will participate in the war later, but some Wuman tribes will definitely not come."

"It seems that the loose alliance of Wuman is becoming more and more loose... Has Dali sent troops to the war?"

"Yes, the scout found out that Dali was also gathering troops. It has not been assembled yet, so I don't know how many troops I can send."

Yao Lin said: "Young Guardian, should we launch an attack and defeat them so as to attract more troops."

Why did Wang Ju ask Liu Kai to say that?

In fact, the reason is very simple. These tribes are scattered everywhere, and some tribes are located in a very complex terrain, so it is best to let them gather their troops to the Ziqi border to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Moreover, the cost of using troops here will be very low.

Then there is a stalemate!

But from the perspective of Dali, is Liu Kai wrong? Is the Dali army really that weak? We Wuman children, when we encounter battles, are ready to die...

OK, the goal is achieved.

Just like Hu Guanglin, he stationed his troops around the relatively gentle Gushan Mountain, without attacking, and only defending, attracting the various barbarians of Ziqi Man from the same place. Wang Ju arrived with his cavalry and killed or captured them. Ziqi Man was flat!

The tactics are still the same now, which is to find ways to attract the troops of various Wuman troops here and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

It’s hard to say when fighting here. Even if there is a sudden weather, everyone will be the same. Anyway, Wang Ju is also mostly barbarian soldiers in his hands, so he will not repel the weather here.

Everyone is still the same in the geographical location, familiar with Dali and Song Jun.

The same goes for people. At the junction of the two countries, no one can say that the people are supported.
