Sichuan has been a land of abundance since ancient times. In September, the wheat fields in Yazhou, Chengdu Prefecture have reached the rice transplanting season.
The wheat fields are rolling and endless, and there are busy soldiers and civilians everywhere.
Two middle-aged men in their forties were checking the sowing situation. The one walking in front was Pingxi King Wu Sangui, followed by his chief adviser Fang Guangchen.
After Wu Sangui occupied the Songpan, Long'an, and Chengdu areas, he wanted to use them as the foundation for eternity. Since ancient times, one must first store grain to establish a business. Although the Chengdu area has been devastated by war and is deserted, the soil is very fertile and it is a high-yield grain area.
He organized soldiers to work in the fields; he allocated land to the family members of Guan Ning's army; he allowed Jiarong people from the Four Territory Tribes to immigrate to Chengdu; he recruited mountain refugees to work in the mountains; he even spent a lot of money to buy some women and distributed them to the homeless soldiers of Guan Ning.
To reassure the military. After more than two years of accumulation, a large number of mature fields were opened in Maozhou, Anxian, Baoxian, Mianzhu, Weizhou, Wenchuan, and Shifang in Chengdu Prefecture, and grain self-sufficiency was initially achieved. Through cooperation with Heshuote
The Khanate and the Jiarong people traded, increased financial revenue, and obtained war horses.
In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, winters are warm, warm water is suitable, and light is strong, which is conducive to high grain production. As long as you don't miss the farming season, food and clothing are actually easy to solve.
Wu Sangui looked at the soldiers and civilians who were busy planting rice, and became interested, "Come here, bring me some rice seedlings. I want to go to the fields."
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. You have a noble status, so let the generals do the menial work for you." A confidant on the side, Commander-in-Chief Wang Pingfan, hurriedly dissuaded him.
"What is noble or not? No matter how noble a person is, he still has to wear clothes and eat. If he doesn't plow the fields, where will he get food?"
Wu Sangui refused to listen and insisted on going to the field to sow. Not to mention, he planted the rice seedlings quite decently, with the right depth, even rows and even distances, and the seedlings did not float. While planting the rice seedlings, he also recited a rice transplanting poem, "Hands"
Plant the green rice seedlings all over the field, and when you lower your head, you will see the sky in the water. The six pure roots are the way, and retreat is actually forward."
Seeing that Wu Sangui was so interested, Fang Guangchen also became a farmer. He walked barefoot in the fields and chanted: "The seeds are densely packed and sparse, and the green carpet is flat, with clear and shallow grains between the rows. Who knows that the thin green grass has the sound of being broken in the harvest years?"
.
The dignified King Pingxi personally went to the fields to plant rice. The surrounding officers and soldiers of the Guan Ning Army and the people were all inspired, and their enthusiasm for labor increased greatly. A wave of large-scale production was set off throughout northwest Sichuan.
"Ting Xian, if things continue like this, within a few years, my Guan Ning army will have strong troops and horses, and they will come out of Sichuan to fight for the world. What's the difficulty?" Wu Sangui chatted with Fang Guangchen happily while working.
"Your Majesty, at this time, the general trend of the world is that the Ming and Qing Dynasties are parallel. We are in a corner. We can only choose the strong ones and join them. It is difficult to become a three-legged tripartite." Fang Guangchen does not have Wu Sangui's ambition.
"Haha, don't worry, everything is human-made." Wu Sangui laughed, and accidentally splashed muddy water on his face.
"Military report, the Ming army captured Jianzhou", holding rice seedlings and talking about the world, came the military report.
Wu Sangui frowned and called Fang Guangchen urgently for discussion.
"Ting Xian, the Ming army captured Jianzhou and cut off the connection between our army and Baoning. Do you think we should save Gu Gu or not?"
Fang Guangchen knew Wu Sangui's ambition and sighed: "If the king wants to revive the Han Dynasty, this is a good opportunity to return to the Ming Dynasty; if he wants to dominate the world, he will be dead and his teeth will be cold, and he must save him."
"It's well said. If the lips are dying and the teeth are cold, we must rescue him. I immediately ordered Wu Guogui, Hu Guozhu, and Guo Zhuangtu to lead an army of 15,000 to rescue Baoning."
"Since the king wanted to save Baoning, he had to go to the Qing court to allocate money, food and materials. There is no reason why his efforts for them were in vain."
"Good!"
??
Jianmen Pass was built on Dajian Mountain. The mountain is so majestic and Cuiwei is full of steep cliffs, which are like cutting with knives and axes. One man can guard the pass, but ten thousand people cannot open it.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
As the marching drums beat, the Wu army general Hu Guozhu's troops moved slowly. The deputy generals Wang Xu and Li Kuang led the troops in the front, and Hu Guozhu led the troops in the back, pressing towards Jianmen Pass.
These three are all fierce generals of the Wu army. Historically, after the Wu army failed to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Hu Guozhu was hesitant about whether to die or surrender. The counselor Wang Yukuan pointed to the scenery outside the window and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't you see the falling flowers? Or the colorful flowers.
On the mat, or scattered in the soil..." Hu Guozhu came to his senses and committed suicide with Wang Xu and Li Kuang.
"Huh, if you want to attack this dangerous sword gate, I would like to see if Wu Sangui has such a good mouth." Li Chengjue smiled coldly and ordered Zhang Yaocui and Bai Jiaolong generals to prepare more rolling logs and rocks to prepare for battle.
Wang Xu held cards in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. He was as agile as an ape and rushed upward.
"Bang~Bang~Bang~"
Countless giant trees rolled down, and those who couldn't dodge were crushed into meat patties.
Wang Xugang had just dodged a rolling log when a large stone fell down on him. He had no time to dodge, so he had to curl up and hold up the cards to resist.
"Creak", the stone rolled past, the cards broke, and Wang Xu vomited blood.
"Brother Wang," Li Kuang saw this and hurriedly called for people to rescue Wang Xu and retreat down the mountain.
The general was injured in the first battle, and Wu's army lost its spirit and retreated slowly.
"Second formation, attack key points!"
Wu Jun’s coach Wu Guogui issued the military order.
Guo Zhuangtu's troops moved. Guo Zhuangxun and Guo Zongfen each led their troops and rushed towards Jianmen Pass.
Guo Zhuangtu was a careerist in the Wu army. Historically, Wu Sangui ordered him to build the Beiding Palace when he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. He embezzled the money, recruited troops, and expanded his power. After Wu Sangui's death, he once took charge of the Wu army.
Seeing that Jianmen Pass was too dangerous, Guo Zhuangtu did not want to lose too many troops and horses, so he made a false attack for a while and then retreated.
After attacking twice in a row, they could not break through. Wu Guogui was furious. He was famous among the Wu army for his strict military management and bravery in battle. He summoned his deputy general Wang Pingduo and said: "Vice General Wang, if we don't capture Jianmen Pass, we will not be able to break through."
On the road of Baoning, we must advance without retreating!"
"Don't worry, Commander, we will fight to the death in the end." Wang Pingduo was so excited that his eyes turned red and he readily agreed.
As soon as Wu Guogui took action, the Wu army's offensive was much more fierce than before, and the Jianmen Pass was crumbling.
This man can be considered a hero. In another time and space, he was shot and killed during the anti-Qing war. Unfortunately, because he was one of the executioners who hanged Emperor Yongli, history books do not speak highly of him.
Seeing that the main force of the Wu army had moved, a murderous look flashed across Li Chengjue's face, "Tell the artillery battalion to bombard me hard! Then tell all the armies, as soon as the sound of artillery stops, fire "Ten Thousand Enemies"."
The Ming army carried more than a hundred small cannons such as the Tiger Crouching Cannon, which they kept hidden until the main force of the Qing army came up before using them.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
This kind of shotgun has a wide radiation range and is easy to operate. It can sweep a large area. Wherever the shell passes, the Qing army cries for father and mother.
For the blind spots where artillery shells could not reach, the Ming army carried out tens of thousands of enemies. There were many kinds of ancient incineration bombs. The Ming army used quilts with straw, gunpowder and kerosene rolled inside. Light a fire, and throw the quilts from the top of the mountain, burning violently and flying everywhere. They will burn wherever they float. As long as they are touched, they will fall into the sea of fire. Even if they roll on the spot, it will have no effect. p>
Countless Wu soldiers became burning men, beating them desperately, rolling around on the ground, and being burned alive.
The Wu army was defeated, and deputy general Wang Pingduo was shot and killed.
Li Chengjue took advantage of the situation and led his troops to kill him down the mountain. The Wu soldiers fled and suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
Wu Sangui also sent General Wu Zhimao with an army of 5,000 to reinforce Wu Guogui. Except for leaving corpses everywhere, they were unable to break through Jianmen Pass.
"One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it." The sword gate is so powerful that it is really difficult to fight!
