Besieged
Chapter 256:Besieged
The staff had never seen Governor Yang so angry, hurriedly promised, each went down to write military orders and folds, white praise to Yang Ling's anger, face iron blue, busy coughing, shifting the topic: "Adult, Jiangnan Fujia, in this place to plunder a village, better than other provinces to rob a county, from the distribution of the ark, its focus is also in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Therefore, the officials thought that they could transfer troops from Sichuan, Shandong, Hunan and Hubei to Jiangnan and cooperate with the bandits, and most of the above areas were familiar with the landform of Jiangnan, and their methods of warfare were similar.
Cheng Yun looked at Yang Ling’s haglong face with pity and interjected, “Does the adult want to transfer troops to Jiangnan?”
Yang Ling sat tiredly back in the handsome chair, nodded heavily, sighed: "Jiangnan soldiers are mostly not good at fighting, at this time can not train recruits, only rely on the current strength to guard the place, to kill everywhere without scrupulous talk about how easy it is to talk about it?"So I want to help the bandits.”
Cheng Qian Yun did not want to impose a burden on Yang Ling, but the military demand for military pay is the key event, she has been responsible for this matter, and now Yang Ling wants to transfer troops into Jiangnan, some things do not say that it will delay the military aircraft events.
She hesitated and finally whispered: "Adult, the court has been unable to pay huge military expenses, you know, from last year to now, the court's silver ..., Jiangnan is not comparable to the border army, the border army's silver is cheap, and the above provinces are mostly guards, the military pay is high, there are other supplements in wartime, this military expenditure..."
Yang Ling listened blankly, smiled bitterly, and shook his head: “It is not appropriate to know Chai Migui, alas!Why are so many things coming together?If you give me a few years, as long as three years... three years, the situation of the court will be very different.Now . . .
He gritted his teeth and said, “Go through it anyway!”But military spending . . . military . . . military . . . he stood up and pacing slowly.
Without military pay.Call a few words of national rise and fall piff is responsible, the military should defend the country, the peace of the Jing side of the slogan, analyze a military and civilian fish and water, solidarity-related truth, the current army simply does not work, they have that enlightenment ah, soldiers also have a family to raise, they have not enough to eat, the family has no food to eat.You said you broke the sky, will work for you is strange.
Cheng Qian Yun saw that Yang Ling had a sad face and said: "Adult, now that the war is tense and dragging down, Jiangnan industry and commerce and even agriculture will be greatly damaged, so the soldiers must not adjust."In order to save the military.It is not known how the officers and soldiers of the guard can be transferred less, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the local guard stations is not known.”
Yang Ling laughed and said, “What is not the guard’s army tuned?”Genuinely popular?Unable to leave their homes, it is extremely difficult to dispatch.And the people are not armed, and they have no responsibility to defend the land, they do not have this awareness.”
He shook his head and said, “Adult, it’s not about the people.Neither are the officers nor the soldiers, these soldiers are absolutely above the officers and soldiers, and the military expenses are extremely low, as long as they are full of food.”
Yang Ling suspected: “What soldier?Is there any progress at sea?”
Smiling, he said, “No, it’s a wolf soldier!”Adults can recruit seedlings, strong, native wolf soldiers, their people are strong, they are used to fighting in the mountains, jungles, and water, and each of them is a born hunter.The guerrilla ambush is more than organic, and the transfer of these Turkish soldiers can reduce the number of officers and soldiers recruited, what do adults think?”
Yang Lingxi said, “Yes, it is a good idea, but despite this, can our existing military spending be sufficient?”
He said, “Not enough, far enough!”
“But...”She hesitated a moment.Me: “Adults, this is the way people want to come out of the place.”If you can take a hard time, I must have a way to solve this problem.”
Yang Ling stared at her for a moment, suddenly smiling: "Okay!My female Zhuge never let me down, this time I believe you must also think of a way, then the official will first look up to the court, ask for the transfer of troops, you put down other affairs, focus on solving the problem of military demand, military pay!"
He smiled and said, “The Lord obeys the command, the Lord speaks, the vile work is exhausted, and the brain does not dare to disappoint the adults.”
Zhengde was absolutely supportive of Yang Ling, and he really couldn't take the silver, and he did not hesitate to transfer the army.Jiangnan is the foundation of the court, and now there are chaos everywhere, long down will endanger the court, this is known as the full of the dynasty or the presence of the court, so no minister dared to be surprisingly bubbling at this time to raise objections.
Yang Lingdi reported to the court almost immediately, and the command of the military immediately drove to Shandong, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou Province.
As soon as Yang Ling received the reward of the court, he hurried to the backyard, and the pigeons who were so shocked that they were flying their wings in the courtyard.Yang Ling sleeves flew, straight in, Huo Di opened the door, inside is about to push the door out of the trussed out of the trussed empty, a head planted in his arms.
Yang Ling hurriedly held, into a rhyme blushing red to move away, covering the tip of the nose of the acidic chirping said: "Adults walk so fast, if the vile work is broken, you have to live a lifetime."
Yang Ling did not have the heart to flirt and scold, he waved the army's message and shouted loudly: "Lin, the army has arrived, the provincial reinforcements immediately set off to Jiangnan, the army has a eyebrow?"If the army comes and does not pay, don't let them go to war, just deal with these riots, and the officer will lose his hair."
He said, “It’s worth it, I broke the phase, and I want you to look good.”
She rubbed the tip of her nose, only to say: "The inferiority is about to go to the adult, these two days of vile worship to see the general of the government, the father-in-law, and will not be Wu Lao, Xu Gongzi and other Jiangnan squire Hao, came up with two methods acceptable to the court and the people."It is estimated that the military expenses raised are sufficient to cover the use of the army.”
Yang Ling Daxi, mouth unspeakable: "God give me the rhyme and me, talk quickly, what is the good idea?"
Cheng Yu Yun listened to him this, his heart was sweet, and the hard fatigue of a few days was swept away, and he said with great interest: "The court has no silver, because the war situation stretches several provinces."The business of our inner factory has also been greatly affected, not to mention that those tens of thousands of troops are also a cup of water, and now only in the areas where the war is carried out to share tax.
This is a precedent for military-affected areas to be the direct beneficiaries, so it is acceptable to rich and poor.After consultation with the government's commissar Liu and Gu Gong, and listening to the opinions of the representatives of the gentry and the Hao people such as Wu Jiyuan and Xu Jing, it was decided to levy taxes in the name of "wartime emergency promotion".
Yang Ling hesitated, saying, “When the war is in trouble, the bandits are in trouble.”Local officials have the right to review the situation, dispatch all manpower and materials, and urgently collect taxes in the name of wartime, after which only need to report to a department, I am now the governor of the six provinces of military affairs.Since this decision can be made, but ... Jiangnan has been plagued by bandit people do not live, plus taxes borne by the people?What if they come from other provinces?”
Cheng Qian Yun laughed bitterly: "Does the adults think that now the local government and the hundred governments have done 'the world is public'?"It doesn’t matter, not only the people of other provinces resist.Even if the local government will be lazy, the tax will only be collected from the war area, which has precedent before.
However, the old example of the past is to collect according to the original tax, the inferiority of the job is not desirable for this example, the inferiority means that the official government first divided the people of the six provinces into ten categories according to the rich and the poor, first collected from the first rich, the tax collected is enough for the army to stop, if not enough.The reduction is charged from the second-class rich, and then the ratio is not reduced to the third class, and so on, only this one, a province can add two or five hundred thousand cashiers, enough military expenditure.
This minimizes the loss of land to the poor, and the losses of the rich as a result of the war are far greater than the taxes imposed, and are anxious to quell the war.Most of them are also willing to accept.In addition, the inner factory spreads all over the world's cars, tea houses, gambling halls, brothels, and restaurants to promote the benefits of lifting the ban.This has increased popular support for the confrontation.
Second, the timely introduction of the sea city's humen specially awarded the "anti-bumper", all active music to donate silver.Support the anti-topping bandits, with this situation in the sea after the lifting of the ban, maritime merchants, taxes and other aspects can get preferential treatment.It is believed that it can attract a considerable number of gentry giants to donate, so that the surplus silver can be used to continue to invest in the formation of shipyards and sailors, and the preparation of various maritime shrines, so that it will not be affected by the war, delaying the progress.The inferior position to test the attitude of the local government and some of the Hao ethnic groups is recognized by these measures, even if some people complain, but they are urgent and unbearable."
Yang Ling remembered that before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, those who were blind, refused to take out the silver for military expenses, and sat on the city to break the miserly of themselves, knowing that this move would inevitably lead to some rich squire opposition, and became a lily just afraid of their own worries, so they deliberately covered up.
But even so what?Even in the normal season, the normal tax, is not some unscrupulous gentleman to find a way to delay taxes, tax evasion?Even if you turn to send them money, I am afraid that he will still find some of the unfairness of my family's large population and the reason for the small population of his family, and complain about the curse.
Yang Ling thought, flatly said: "Okay, just do this, you come up with a detailed plan, I immediately issued six provinces, and reported to the cabinet."I’m relieved to be sure of this, and I’ll go back to the front office first.”
He looked at the pile of rhyme files, slightly frowned, sighed: "Lousy, if there is lack, rest, you are weak, you are tired."
“Yes, my Lord, my Lord.”
Yang Ling turned around and doubted, “Is there anything else?”
Cheng Yu Yun came close to him and said, “Men have only had their beards since they were twenty-eight years old, adults and weak crowns, flat and extremely heavy instruments, and the beards are shaved in the net.But now the hair is messy, the stubble is green, the cheek is also thin, and still lose his temper.
If the inferior position is sick, there are adults who care, if the adult is sick, but I don't know how many bastards are happy in the dark, leading the six provinces.Worrying, the war is not over for a day, you... you have to take care of your body...”
She said, she was oblivious and gently caressing Yang Ling's jaw, and the soft little hand gently touched his short buds, and her eyes were bright and crystal.Yang Ling was shocked by the affectionate and forgetful actions revealed in her tone, allowing her to caress her own underground jaws and cheeks...
Seeing that the rhyme was about to enter the body, Yang Ling had just woken up.He coughed slightly with embarrassment and said, "Well, the adult ordered, the officer remembered that the official never let some people rejoice, huh, this important thing is resolved, the official has a heart disease."How about dinner with you tonight?The officer has been drinking for many days, and I will have a few drinks with you tonight.”
Yang Ling finished, hastened to turn around and slipped away.The rhyme was raised in the air, watching him escape, and the white doves were surprised to fly.Suddenly "eating" a smile, and then holding his fist in hatred: "I'm afraid I'm angry, I want to ask me to eat wine."Who rarely eats your wine?To eat...to eat your people!”
Her eyes turned and her nose wrinkled.She smiled and said, “Your biggest weakness is your soft heart, since this girl knows this secret...Yang Ling, Yang Ling, you are not saved!”
Wujiang City, because of its proximity to Suzhou, and Suzhou is the camp of Yang Ling, the governor of the six provinces, while the command of Jiangnan Province also stationed Bai Zhanzhan, there is a large army escort, so Wujiang City near the water tower.There was no attack on the garrison, and the defenders gradually became more and more determined.
In the early morning of this day, the sun had just passed through the fog into Wujiang, and the city was hidden and suddenly saw the emergence of the brigade, at this time, the fog was filled, the line of sight was less than 100 feet, and the city guard rushed to echo the four cities to avoid customs and self-keeping, to investigate the situation of people.
A small school in the city.Look down to the city for a while.Unable to see the identity of the person, he shouted and asked, “Who is the person under the city?”Quickly report the identity.Otherwise we’ll shoot!”
Answering him was a series of strange calls, then a few arrows shot up the city, the small school was a big jack, hurriedly retreated a few steps, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, be careful, here comes!"Hurry up, Mr. President!”
The sound of the drums and the sound of the trumpeds of the war began to each other, the whole city was tumultuous, and the city's guard Liang Xinghua knew not far from Jiaxing, Yuhang, Shanghai, Jiading, Taicang, and all the areas, but they did not think that they dared to go deep into the hinterland and kill them under Wujiang City.
Liang Xinghua hastened to take the chief Liu Wei with eight people to open the west city fast horse to the Suzhou city to report, and then personally boarded the city to check the situation, this look Liang Xinghua can not help but be surprised, at this time the sun gradually strong, the fog dissipated, the city under the auspicious horse has been roughly seen, far away, see the appearance of this geek actually enough six or seven thousand people, how is this possible?Why did such a large number of people enter the hinterland?
Liang Xinghua panicked and hurriedly ordered the whole army to gargle the city, and at the same time, the people gathered the bow army auxiliary array.
He secretly calculated that the Wujiang wall was thick with high bricks, although the geeks had a hundred bravery, the three thousand defenders in the city insisted that there should be no problem in one day, and the army in Suzhou arrived at that time, and the characteristics of wandering around, and the strength of the firmness, perhaps the siege of the city will be immediately moved to the other side.
Thinking of this, Liang Xinghua set his heart and commanded the soldiers to point the artillery at the kaku, waiting for the first round of attacks.The next white man waved a fan and shouted a few words, a series of arrows and rain first shot to the city, and then the people of the brigade rushed to kill.
From the point of view of the ground arrows, most of them were used by the officers and soldiers of Daming, and they wanted to attack and plunder everywhere, and seized them from the soldiers who killed them.The city officers and soldiers immediately returned fire, and there were people falling down under the city, "bombing", the cannons on the city's head were also ringing, and dozens of buddies were bearing the brunt and fell in a pool of blood.
This time, the 倌垍暅 from the eastern agglomeration, Feng Hou and other areas were forced to flee to the coast of Daming, the real genus about 20,000, because this time the old home was uprooted, some family members took out their wives and children, placed in the secret island, the total number of people reached more than 30,000 people.
More than 30,000 people have to eat to wear, and all the materials need to be plundered from Daming, so this time, the attack is far more than in the past.Although there are fewer than 20,000, the tyrants are attached to the tyrants, but they are several times more than they are, so the total strength of the yomelet has reached more than 60,000, fortunately, although these treachery, there is no unified command and chief.
This cun is the most powerful one among the abdomen, the leader is the generation of pirates as the leader of the Naimei family, Naomi Zhengzhi, who has been a sly, and he has been cunning to restrain his department, taking advantage of the chaos of other ministries, attracting the attention of the Ming Army to quietly disembark and go straight to the big city.
He already knew through detailed work that Suzhou had sent Daming to command the town of the governor of the six provinces and the command of Jiangnan Province, Suzhou City has 30,000 officers and soldiers, but he does not feel that this Ming army is any terrible, with his experience, to deal with the Jiangnan Guards officer, his one thousand people is enough to deal with 10,000 officers and soldiers.
Naimei Zhizhi thought very long-term, the Eastern kingdom is temporarily unable to return, always ashore robbery is also not a long-term solution, Suzhou generations of nobles, a rich enemy country, if take a risk, break through Suzhou City, then the wealth he plundered can be used to buy countless warships, leap to become the king of all the yoke and pirates, from the sea.
With this comparison, Naimei Zhengzhi decided to lead the army to rush, turn a blind eye to the small towns and counties along the way, and went all the way to Wujiang City, as a stronghold, attracting the Ming Army to help, first to help, and then to take Suzhou.
The drums rumble, and the genie shouted again.The genie advocates the authority, the commander's order, is the war is to retreat is not to consider more, and the attached false abs are also the pirates who are dying, also fear death, they hold a rattan shield, tableboard, bedboards made of simple shields, guarding a team of soldiers carrying huge beams and pillars to attack the city gate.
Several genus leaders wearing bullhorn helmets and ghosts jumped up and down, directing the attack, the city archers and fire-breathers shot in turn, and the rolling wood boulevards were also waiting.
At this time, a valet outside the western city was on the ground, and the horse-keeper who had been folded by the pit and the stumbling horse was crying on the ground, and a yuppie pulled out the blood from the back of the officers and soldiers and the sword, laughing at the earthy Liu Yu.
Several other geeks pulled off the clothes of the dead officers and soldiers, dressed up one by one, and then walked to his side with a mouthful of Wu Jiang local words to Liu Yuyin and Yang: "It is a general, please take the total name of the big name?"
