Chapter 201 Huang Taiji is convinced(1/2)
After listening to the content of the imperial edict, Wang Yan looked at the trembling little eunuch who was delivering the edict in front of him, and waved his hand: "Wang Ming, take this father-in-law to have a good rest. Don't lose any etiquette."
"Yes, sir." Wang Ming at the door responded, walked in, took the imperial edict from the little eunuch's hand, and threw it into Sun Fugui's hand: "Eunuch, please..."
"Ah? Thank you... Thank you, General Wang." The little eunuch had no one in the palace and no money in his hands, otherwise he would not have been sent to announce the decree to the leader of the rebellion. Realizing that he was safe, the little eunuch hurriedly bowed his hands.
.
"Go ahead."
Without waiting for the little eunuch to say anything more, Wang Ming grabbed the silly little eunuch impatiently and turned around to leave.
Seeing the young eunuch being taken away, Sun Fugui, who was standing nearby, looked at the imperial edict in his hand and smacked his lips: "Sir, this is coming for us. They are treating us as slaves."
He had been with Sun Chengzong's subordinates before. Although his position was low, he could still imagine that Sun Chengzong was superior. After all, Sun Chengzong had been stationed in Liaodong, building forts, and training troops for four years without fighting a single battle. But after Sun Chongzong was captured
Not long after it was captured, Ningyuan was besieged. No matter what the reason was, it explained a lot of problems.
"Don't worry, I have my own plan. Liaodong is such a big deal, don't think about useless things, just do it."
Sun Fugui came here to report on his work, so he happened to catch up and just said a casual word. Besides, now that he was on the bus, he could only hope that Wang Yan would make things happen, and it was useless to talk so much.
"Yes, sir."
After Sun Fugui left, what Wang Yan was thinking about
These changes had a great impact on Wang Yan. Not to mention other things, just blocking Shanhaiguan was quite annoying. Regardless of population or materials, Liaodong is still relatively scarce, and his productivity is already low.
Without mentioning it, Shanhaiguan is seriously a lifeline.
However, he did not really rebel in the end. Everyone was definitely quite polite on the surface. Although there will be certain difficulties in getting the materials out of customs, research is also easy to do.
Moreover, Sun Chengzong's supervisor Ji Liao and Wang Zhichen, who originally had the same position, were very embarrassed. Now that they are in this position, Wang Zhichen has no way out and cannot run away. Therefore, this person who was once Wang Yan's eldest brother can now be said to be his younger brother.
Already.
Wang Zhichen has been stationed in Shanhaiguan, and for a year, he has been running a relatively good business. Although many of them look down on Wang Yan and are not good friends with them, there are also some who are good with him, and they work to balance each other.
Next, the problem at Shanhaiguan is not big.
As for Sun Chengzong's blocking of the external channel, there is no need for Wang Yan to take action, and those businessmen doing business with them will open up the relationship. You must know that the products in Wang Yan's hands are unique to the Ming Dynasty, and the sales are quite high.
It’s so hot that a group of shrewd businessmen have been cracking it for a year and still don’t have a clue. Likewise, they can’t let go of this source of wealth. Even if they have the opportunity to destroy the Jiannu, they can use their influence to give a person a chance to breathe, let alone a person who has been captured.
The excluded Sun Chengzong...
So in summary, this impact is quite large, and it will gradually become less of a problem.
In the past half month, Wang Yan has done nothing. He has ignored Mangui and controlled Ningyuan, so naturally he will not let go of other places in Liaodong.
At this point, he has no choice but to capture Liaodong. What if other people who are not on good terms with him join forces to attack him? It’s not that he’s afraid of not being able to defeat him, but that a huge chaos in Liaodong will destroy the already established forces.
The fields and the built forts are worth the loss.
So after this period of time, from Jinzhou to Guangning Zhongqian at the gate of Shanhaiguan, Qiantun cooperated with his gathered troops to capture the area, and sent soldiers to suppress it with guns. A general who was not one-minded, all of them surrendered their military power.
Accompanying Mangui, those who resisted, the leaders, and officers of all sizes were all killed, and the top soldiers were demoted to hard labor.
The reason why Shanhaiguan was not touched was to leave some dignity to both sides. Otherwise, the door to the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of others, and if you couldn't defeat it, you would have to do it. After all, after passing Shanhaiguan, it would be a smooth journey to the capital. Wang Yan didn't want to take action, he
He really has never thought about entering the border and bombarding the capital, and now his men are in a lot of trouble, so they must be settled first.
Nowadays, Wang Yan has nearly 100,000 men under his command, and the number of military households has reached 150,000. However, this is only superficially stable. After all, the generals who surrendered to him are all forced by the interests of the big stick and are only superficially loyal.
, I don’t know when I will betray you.
Of course, Mr. Wang is the most honest and the most shameless person. If he hadn’t set an example for those who would surrender in the future, these people who surrendered to him should have been killed as soon as he took control of his troops.
Well... now, after he slowly gets rid of these generals, he can retire with Man Gui, and it can be considered a good death.
As for the civil service group in Liaodong, Wang Yan really didn’t have enough manpower. If he killed all of his subordinates, there would really be nothing left to do. This is why the civil service group was so aloof and dared to roar at the court and complain at the emperor. Without them,
The Bangzi culture people are really bad. So all the obedient ones are kept, and they will be as they were before, and all the disobedient ones will be demoted to hard labor.
This has to be the case for a long time. Wang Yan will not care whether they are greedy or not, as long as he implements his policies. As for the future... when his children are trained, each of these bastards will count.
Go all fucking mining and building roads.
There is a saying that goes well, if you take a big step, it is easy to lose your temper, and now he is struggling...
Not to mention the other internal intricacies, just to support so many people, the wealth he had worked so hard to save was far from enough. Not to mention paying the big soldiers to eat meat, it would be damn good if they were not hungry.
. It was only because he gathered all the materials in Liaodong and copied some of the money obtained from the civil and military affairs that he could barely guarantee that it would not collapse.
Now his situation is estimated to be similar to that of Huang Taiji. There is a shortage of logistics and the hearts of his men are different. But even so, Huang Taiji has no courage to come and beat him. No matter how poor Wang Yan is, his elite men will definitely be given priority.
This is the foundation of his establishment in Liaodong. Anyone who refuses to accept will be beaten.
It was a coincidence that this man couldn't help but talk about it. Just when he was thinking about Huang Taiji, a guard from outside came in: "Sir, I just received news that Huang Taiji has sent troops to attack Mongolia."
"When did it happen?"
"yesterday."
Wang Yan couldn't help but frown. Huang Taiji sent troops yesterday, and he only received the news now. To say that the transmission of news in ancient times was slow. This is because he has little pigeons. If it was purely delivered by people and horses, it would take two days no matter what. That's damn it.
It's time to do it.
Spring has begun, and life, production and other things have to start. I was beaten by him again before, losing tens of thousands of horses and Guangning Guards. That old bastard in Huang Taiji can't stand it anymore. If you don't dare to beat him, just look for him.
It's a soft persimmon. Wang Yan specified that Huang Taiji would not be allowed to succeed, and it would definitely be in the northeast.
After thinking for a while, Wang Yan said: "Send the order, five thousand Guangning guards will stay behind, and the rest will support the Mongolian tribes who have surrendered to us. We must not let the slaves break through the blockade. Also, try to let the Mongolians hold up the front."
"As you command!"
The soldier fisted his fist, turned around and ran out at high speed to Guangning Guard to deliver the order.
Then Wang Yan immersed himself in work. Now it is a mess and he has been working on it for several months.
Now the whole of Liaodong except Shanhaiguan is in his hands. He has more than 300,000 soldiers, military households, civilian households, and other old masters, master craftsmen, doctors, etc. in total.
Earn money from doing business, prepare supplies, prepare soldiers and armor, eliminate soldiers, select and train, build roads and bridges, construct water conservancy, farm and farm, basic health construction, basic industrial construction, basic employee training, upgrade technology trees, and make guns
Building cannons and ships, cultivating a bunch of babies, researching how to decentralize a bunch of useless generals, etc.
Not only that, there are five women in his back house who need daily care and attention... they are too damn busy...
Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye, at the beginning of May, outside Jinzhou City.
On a flat ground not far from the foot of the mountain, several artillerymen worked together to set up the cannon. Then, as the order flag of the ordering soldier in the distance fell, they fired the cannon.
The pointed cannonball rushed out of the barrel in an instant, spinning straight towards the mountain. With a "boom", the cannonball landed on the mountain, collided and exploded, causing smoke and dust to rise and the sky to be filled with rubble.
After a while, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the large crater visible to the naked eye showed the power of the cannonball just fired.
In the distance, Wang Yan and several personal guards, an old man with a white beard and a weathered face, full of white hair, and a green gown, were looking at the large crater in the mountain with a telescope.
Seeing the power of the artillery, the old man with the white beard couldn't help but gasp.
Wang Yan casually threw the telescope behind him, and the guard caught it accurately and put it away. He looked at the old man with a white beard next to him with a smile: "How about it, Old Sun? Can you block my artillery?"
Of course, this old man with a white beard is not Sun Fugui, but the life-threatening Sun Chengzong.
Before Wang Yan received the imperial edict, Sun Chengzong had already taken office. After more than half a month, he clarified the situation in Yongping Mansion and Liaodong, and after making plans, Sun Chengzong directly took a bookboy and a guard to make a big announcement.
It's out of bounds.
Due to the game between the two parties, Shanhaiguan is closed and wide open. You can pass the customs in both directions with some simple inspections. Those who enter the customs will undergo a detailed inspection when they arrive at Sun Chengzong's territory. And those who leave the customs, as long as they do not violate the laws set by Wang Yan,
Regardless of ulterior motives or whatever, do whatever you like.
Although Wang Yan implemented military control, it was only a centralized allocation of resources in the system. For non-combatants, reserve military households, and master craftsmen, as long as they listen to the local governor and do the work clearly, the rest is arbitrary. Any violation of formal rules has long been
I have said that there are dishonest troublemakers and saboteurs who show no mercy at all and are directly sent to do heavy work. This is Wang Yan's main achievement in half a month, letting most people at the bottom know
Got the rules.
In the same way, Sun Chengzong left the pass very easily, strolled all the way to see the situation outside the pass, and finally went directly to Jinzhou City to find the General's Mansion, reported his home address and took the seal to see Wang Yan.
To be honest, Wang Yan didn't expect Sun Chengzong to be so courageous. What is he, General Wang, now? He is a warlord through and through, the emperor of Liaodong, and a terrorist. Sun Chengzong came directly to his territory like this, and even rushed to see him, alive
Are you tired of it? You know, there is nothing wrong with him even if he directly kills Sun Chengzong. The people in the court will not take the risk of starting a war with a fool who he sent to his door.
Of course, it does not rule out that Sun Chengzong analyzed Wang Yan's behavior and knew what kind of person he was. It also does not rule out that he himself has no fear. Wang Yan is more inclined to combine the two. History tells him that Sun Chengzong is a ruthless person who fights to the death for the country and the people.
People. Another thing is that the civil and military officials he brought down during the Liaodong mutiny rarely killed people and basically worked. And this also told Sun Chengzong that he was not just a common man who only knew how to kill people.
However, according to Sun Chengzong's behavior, Wang Yan guessed that if he was not so awesome, Sun Chengzong would not be sure. Maybe he would not come to see him, but would go to Shanhaiguan with his sword and kill Wang Zhishen without saying a word. This kind of
Wang Yan believes that Sun Chengzong can definitely do it.
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Sun Chengzong shook his head and sighed: "I can't guard against it, I can't guard against it..."
"You didn't believe me after saying so much that I wouldn't enter the customs. Do you believe it now?"
Yesterday, Sun Chengzong came over. When he saw Wang Yan, he started to sneer at him. From the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to Zhu Youxiao, he was treating him well. He was testing Wang Yan's bottom line crazily and seeking death like crazy. He sprayed spittle all over his face and scolded him.
Already.
It was also at this time that Wang Yan knew what a real civil servant with blood and backbone was like in ancient times. He was really unaccustomed to illness. Who was he in the eyes of Sun Chengzong?
If someone is not afraid of death, what can he do? Besides, Sun Chengzong is an old man in his sixties. If something happens to him, it will still be his fault. In the end, Wang Yan persuaded the old man and appeased him. It was delicious.
It’s a delicious treat, and I just came out to show off my muscles today.
"I believe it, I believe it..."
"Can we have a good talk?"
"Hey..." Sun Chengzong looked up and sighed to the sky: "Let's talk."
To be continued...
