Chapter 506 Guerrilla Warfare, Sparrow Warfare

After returning to the cabinet, the anger that appeared on the faces of the four parties disappeared instantly, and Fang Congzhe said calmly: "It seems that Wang Xuan is really just forcing the palace, and has no other intentions for the time being."

"Basically confirmed. However, everyone, this time the boy named Wang succeeded. There is no guarantee that he will not continue to make excessive demands. Therefore, countermeasures must be taken." Gao Panlong stroked his beard and said.

"Indeed, with that kid's nature, he will definitely push further, but we can't retreat all the time." Wu Liangsi also nodded in agreement.

"It is certain to clean up the guard post. We can no longer hesitate. However, water far away cannot quench our thirst nearby. We still need to mobilize some border troops to the border. We must deter them."

"This is a good idea. How many transfers will be made?"

"This time he dispatched a hundred thousand troops, and according to the news I received, his newly trained soldiers are extremely elite. I'm afraid if there are less, they won't be able to defeat him!"

"That's what I say, but the total number of border troops is only 500,000, but it's actually not that much! Once too many people are deployed, the border will be unstable, and if the border is not stable, the capital will be unstable!"

"Okay, let's stop arguing." Fang Congzhe raised his hand to stop everyone from continuing to argue, and said slowly: "We will start from three aspects together. First, we will reorganize the guard troops in the three provinces. Second, all the current guard troops will be mobilized to

Border, third, mobilize 60,000 border troops, 20,000 from each province, to meet urgent needs."

Guan Yingzhen opened his mouth. He felt that the geographical location of Huguang was more important, and he must allocate more frontier troops, but he gave up in the end. The other two parties would not agree. As for the Qi party, they were watching the show from beginning to end.

Without saying a word.

Obviously, the old fox of Qi Shijiao did not want to offend Wang Xuan. Anyway, the land in Jiangbei was relatively barren and could not create a big climate. At worst, it would surrender in the end. This kind of thing, Qilu Land headed by Kong Mansion, had already done it freely.

Speaking of which, Wang Xuan's series of operations in the past few years have had a chain reaction on major world events. Because Wang Xuan moved the population from Liaodong, Fujian listened to the propaganda but not the propaganda, Annan invaded and other reasons, the imperial court was unable to mobilize Sichuan, Gansu, and Zhejiang.

, troops from Fujian and other provinces were used to reinforce Liaodong, which resulted in the Ming Dynasty's massive defeat at the Battle of Salsh that was supposed to happen early this year.

As for the future, not only will the border troops not receive support, but they will have to mobilize a real number of 60,000 troops to go to three provinces. They will not be able to launch any counterattacks and can only huddle in the border areas. However, they have avoided underestimating the enemy's rash advances and suffering repeated defeats.

This fate caused the Jurchens to miss several good development opportunities.



After procrastinating for a while, I don’t know how Fang Congzhe and others persuaded the Wanli Emperor, or simply concealed it from the emperor who was lying on the hospital bed. According to Wang Xuan’s request, he directly issued an imperial edict and granted Qi Hongliang the title of Marquis of Dingnan.

The fiefdom was a fiefdom the size of half a province south of Annan. It was indeed a real fiefdom. The land, population, laws, and the imperial court were not concerned. They were all assigned to the Hongliang family and were decided by themselves. They only had to pay part of the tax every year.

In addition, Qi Xinghui and Di Haokuo, the two earliest generals who followed Wang Xuan, were also granted the title of earl. Their combined fiefdoms were half the size of Qi Hongliang.

Only this fiefdom issue, Fang Congzhe and others were really puzzled for a long time when they learned about it from Li Shantang.

This was different from what they expected. They thought it was a false title, just a simple title, but they never expected that it was actually a request for real title, and it was in such a distant alien territory. They really couldn't understand Wang Xuan's

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

Anyway, after the decree came down, the world was shaken for a few times. Wang Xuan also quickly withdrew his troops. Prices in the capital also began to fall back to their original state. The world seemed to be calm again, which was rare even for Jurchens.

The reason why the Earth did not send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty this winter was that when Wang Xuan purchased supplies, the main items traded were grains. Every family was well fed and the idea of ​​​​going out to fight desperately was not so urgent.

, even the heroic leader Nurhachi could not control it.

Just after the beginning of spring, there were many smaller ships among the large wave of fleets returning from Japan. If there are people familiar with Japan here, they can see that these are Japanese ships and belong to Japanese pirates.

Customary vessel.

This wave of people were the maritime merchants from Nanzhili and Zhejiang who went to Japan before winter. At this moment, they returned with more than 8,000 people sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate.

In order to impress the Tokugawa family, a total of 80,000 kilograms of various iron materials were paid this time. According to the weight of the Japanese standard samurai sword at this time, it can be equipped with more than 10,000 people. If it is an ordinary long spear ashigaru, it can be equipped with 40,000 people.

This move greatly increased the strength of the Tokugawa family for the Japanese country that lacked iron ore!

Even so, after the equipment for these eight thousand people reaches the daimyo, they still need to be provided by the noble families in the two places, and they all come empty-handed.



"My Lord, I received news today that Japanese pirates invaded again along the coast of Xiaoliuqiu and Fujian. The losses were considerable. There were also three robberies of merchant ships at sea. Fortunately, one of them ran away, but the other two were

Many people were killed and the ship was robbed." Ye Huo held the information in his hand, frowned his beautiful eyebrows, and said softly, pouting at the end.

Looking at Ye Huo's appearance, Wang Xuan couldn't help but secretly sigh. This guy was originally born as a hermaphrodite. As his kung fu improved and he entered a super-class state, he became more and more feminine and started to act cute.

.

"Hey, my lord, are you listening?" Seeing Wang Xuan slip away, Ye Huo couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

"Oh, listen, in recent days, there have been more and more incidents of Japanese pirate attacks." Wang Xuan was also scratching his head about this matter.

According to intelligence, these Japanese pirates should be mainly real Japanese pirates, and together with almost the same number of fake Japanese pirates, they have begun to wreak havoc in the coastal areas. The most annoying thing is that each Japanese pirate team has as many as 40 or 50 people, and as few as 10 or 20 people.

, you can just buy two small boats, and there are so many of them.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! According to the news received in the past few days, there have been more than 100 Japanese pirates appearing within three days! And they are spreading towards the west.

, no one knows how many groups of Japanese pirates there are, which is really annoying.

Every time they are robbed, the losses are not big. Even if the army is deployed, it is difficult to catch them. There are too few people and they are scattered. A small boat can float to any place or hide on any island or reef. The vast sea has no choice but to look for it.

!

About half a month later, the problem of Japanese pirates has spread to Annan. According to statistics from various parties, there are about five or six hundred Japanese pirates, which are like sprinkling sesame salt, all over the southern sea area.

Although Wang Xuan also sent out naval troops to encircle and suppress them, the results were not great. They only destroyed dozens of stocks in half a month.

It’s really annoying!

"Isn't this just guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare? That bastard thought... Bah, bah." Wang Xuan was really scratching his head. Now he could understand the distress of little Japan during World War II, as if he was crawled by a swarm of ants.

, if he keeps biting like this, he will cry.

"Pa!" He slapped the table hard, and Wang Xuan looked fierce. Since these people were playing tricks with him, don't blame him for turning on the killer weapon!

"Sun Chuanting, give me an order to lift the ban on the purchase of crossbows. In this way, once and for all, as long as they are willing to pay, all merchant ships can be equipped with crossbows. Then we will see how these Japanese pirates can rob!"

"My lord!" Sun Chuanting was shocked when he heard this, "My lord, you must not do this. This crossbow machine is different from swords and guns. It is too dangerous. Even people who have not been trained can kill people with a crossbow machine."

For a well-trained soldier, if the ban on crossbows is lifted, I don’t know how many lives and lawsuits will be added. The most important thing is that the safety of those local big families and government personnel will be greatly threatened."

"I know what you said, but do you have any way to deal with this kind of tactics?" Wang Xuan spread his hands and looked at Sun Chuanting. This is the same as allowing private individuals to hold guns. The number of homicides will increase significantly, and people's safety will be greatly reduced.

There will also be no guarantee.

"I..." Sun Chuanting opened his mouth, but there was nothing he could do, "Then you can't drink poison to quench your thirst!"

"Okay, it's not as exaggerated as you said!" Wang Xuan raised his hand and pressed it down, "I know what you mean. The people are actually okay. The contradiction that is worth killing can kill people without crossbow arrows. This crossbow arrow, for

It makes no difference whether the people have it or not."

"The real difference is that those local wealthy officials are also officials. If they are oppressing the people, they usually bring their domestic slaves. Even if there are one or two who come to take revenge with a knife, it is difficult to get close, so the threat is not great. If it is a crossbow,

Once the ban is lifted, 'whoosh', they are likely to die, so they firmly oppose the opening of crossbows."

"Actually, it's not a bad thing. Let them know that there's nothing wrong with being in awe." After all, the crossbow is not a firearm. It's not that convenient, and it's not that powerful. Even the United States, which has open firearms, will not die because of this.

.

Furthermore, when it comes to the United States, their officials are really not aloof. Even the second generation of rich people will not pretend to be coquettish with ordinary people. After all, every man's anger will cause blood to fly five steps.

Sun Chuanting opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. It was only then that he realized that this Lord was different from many people in this era. Although he recognized the inevitability of class, he did not agree with it or defend it.

He is a person who truly treats everyone in the world equally.

I will never treat you differently just because you have money or status.

Therefore, all the things of the ruling class that uphold tradition will not work with this Lord, and he does not care.

Sun Chuanting really didn't know what kind of impact this ban on crossbows would have. Japanese pirates and the like would definitely not be a problem. There wouldn't be many crossbows on a ship. There were only twenty crossbows and one or two bed crossbows. Japanese pirates and the like would be the only ones.

I can laugh now.

but……
