Chapter 1300 A piece of stone(1/2)
Wang Xiao felt very tired.
Teaching a fool student is indeed not an easy task.
He now understands why the head teacher never paid attention to the students who either skipped classes or went to bed or worked in an Internet cafe all day long.
Although I give up these students for their salary and have no professional ethics, I will not suffer from cerebral hemorrhage at least.
In Wang Xiao's eyes, Chongzhen, as a person, is considered a master of the middle-aged man.
But as an emperor, Chongzhen was completely unqualified.
If you are not determined in your work, you will be careful and stand firm.
A typical bourgeois pretending and a twisted personality.
He also patted his chest yesterday to ensure that things were guaranteed, but when he came here today, he was hesitant and said that he should consider it more.
"Grandpa, the Guanning Army is a barrier outside the Daming Pass. Even if it is not needed, it can be placed there to prevent the Tartars from moving south. Let's go to destroy them in person, this won't be done..."
"Do you want to help the evil, or do you want to be idle and feel pain?"
Wang Xiao rubbed his forehead hard, "If you are not a wisher, I will be sharking you now, so I will save you all day long and I will have a headache."
"You listen."
After rubbing his forehead a few times, Wang Xiao used his patience to explain to him. "First of all, you have to know that Guanning Army and others are vassal states. Do you have no objection to this?"
"yes."
Chongzhen nodded in agreement.
Guanning Army listened to the command and did not listen to the announcement, and did not go out without money.
When pursuing bandits within the pass, they attacked hard, which caused the damage to the people was no worse than that of bandits.
When facing the Tartars outside, the field battle will definitely cheat you. Any friendly troops coming to the pass will not be cheated by them.
Such troops naturally belong to the ranks of vassal states.
"If an emperor can tolerate a vassal state, he will either be a foolish monarch or the country is on the verge of destruction. Which one are you?"
Chongzhen opened his mouth, and he wanted to say that he was not one of them.
But he didn't dare to say this in front of Wang Xiao.
"Along with that, you said that the Guanning Army could block the Tartars. Not to mention the Tartars' entry so many times, I will ask you, tell me why the Guanning Army was able to block the Tartars outside Shanhaiguan?"
Chongzhen thought about it and said, "Shanhaiguan is the most powerful pass in the world."
Wang Xiao raised his hand and thrust over.
"I am already desperate for you. I have followed a wise monarch like me, and you have never learned any good skills."
"How can there be thirty years in this world... Bah! There is no fortress in this world that cannot be broken! The Maginot line was broken through by De San."
Wang Xiao stood up in anger and slapped him several times, "Remember! It's Liao Sheng! It's a steady stream of silver and money!"
"The Ming Dynasty promoted the power of the world and caused the Liao salary that caused the people of the world to rise up, which was the reason why the Guanning Army could block the Tartars."
"But now their Liao salary is cut off... do you know how much is a stone of food in western Liaoning?"
"I don't know, Tongzhou seems to be seven cents of silver and one stone."
Wang Xiao simply sat down, "Western Liaoning is four taels of silver and one stone of food. Without Liao pay, they would not starve to death or be cooked by the soldiers who had no food."
"In this case, do you think the Guanning Army will continue to fight with the Tartars, or surrender to the Tartars for food and status?"
Chongzhen thought about the slutty operations of the Guanning Army over the years, and finally sighed, "They will surrender to the Tartars, because the Tartars will give them status, wealth and food."
There were no Guizhou people in western Liaoning, and they were arrested by the Guanning Army as tenants.
But the Tartars often come to harass them, and they often send troops to siege the castle and cannot farm.
After Songshan, he even threw away all the territory outside Shanhaiguan.
Without land, there will naturally be no food income, so you can only buy it with money.
Here in Shanhaiguan, the price of one stone of grain is as high as four taels of silver.
Wang Xiao cut off their Liao pay, and these Guanning generals would not take out their own money to buy food for their soldiers.
Even if it is robbed, after robbing it a few times, no grain merchants will transport grain from there.
So for the Guanning Army, they either asked for Liao pay from the court or went to surrender to the Tartars who could give them money and food.
Of course, the prerequisite for surrendering to the Tartars is to be slaves and dogs for them to seize the world of Ming Dynasty.
"The Guanning Army cannot stay. Staying behind them will only strengthen the strength of the Tartars. Instead of doing this, it is better to deal with them in one go."
Chongzhen already agreed with Wang Xiao's words, but he was worried that there were still some people, "But can the new army beat him?"
The Guanning Iron Cavalry claimed to be able to fight against the Tartars, and they did have such capital.
In addition to the team of Pang Dading, which was built with a lot of money, the Guanning Army was basically dominated by Liao people. They knew each other very well and knew each other's depth and were not so afraid of their mentality.
It is understandable that Chongzhen was worried that the new army would not be able to defeat it.
As for the Guanning Army colluding with the Tartars to attack him, to be honest, Chongzhen didn't believe it at all.
After all, the Guanning Army was also the army of the Ming Dynasty, and they had a bloody hatred with the Tartars, so how could they lead the Tartars into the Pass?
"Don't worry."
Wang Xiao comforted him and said, "Even if the new army really can't defeat it in the end, I'm still there."
Chongzhen was really relieved now.
He had seen with his own eyes how Wang Xiao opened Wushuang and directly summoned Tianlei.
If this is the case on the battlefield, Guanning Iron Cavalry will be electrocuted even if it is covered in iron.
A piece of stone, this place is not like its name, it is a barren land.
This is actually part of Shanhaiguan, and its official name is Yipianshiguan.
Here is the mountain behind the sea, the mountain on the left is the sea on the right, and the narrow plains in the middle.
Of course, it is said that it is narrow and long, but in fact it is not small in size, so there is no problem with putting down tens of thousands of people.
The defenders on the city wall looked confused.
They looked back at the Ming Dynasty flag hanging on the top of their city, and turned to look at the Ming army outside who was preparing for the siege with the same flag. They said in their hearts that they were all following.
The fact that the Ming army competed with each other was not news here at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
But at this time, at this level, he still actively attacked Shanhaiguan, the world's Xiongguan, especially among the Ming army below, there was an emperor's flag erected high. That was indeed unique.
For most of the Ming soldiers at the pass, the emperor's majesty still exists.
Wang Xiao on the horse's back observed the situation of the pass, and then spoke out to the generals beside him, "Propaganda Team, go up!"
More than a hundred specially selected loud voices walked out of the army with an iron horn in hand and raised the iron horn outside the range of the crossbow.
He shouted to the defenders on the pass, "Listen to everyone above, the Guanning army colluded with the Tartars to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and it was a rebel. Your Majesty, you are all blinded. As long as you surrender and return to Your Majesty, each of you can distribute twenty acres of land according to your family's population, and you are exempt from taxes.
In the year, I will repaid all the money I owe over the years. Those who can win the heads of the rebel generals will be killed, the generals will be awarded the generals, the deputy generals will be awarded the deputy generals, and the Qianzong will be awarded the Qianzong..."
Unsurprisingly, the propaganda team's shouting caused a commotion among the defenders.
The Guanning Army has been stationed in western Liaoning for many years and fought countless times with the Tartars. Almost every household has relatives who have died at the hands of the Tartars.
Now I heard that the high-ranking officials colluded with the Tartars to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, so it was natural that they could not accept it.
If there is no external suppression, military generals at all levels will be comforted if they bring their servants to distribute money and food.
But now that the emperor has come in person, of course it will cause a huge sensational impact.
The Guanning Army is indeed rich. After all, the Liao Dynasty's salary for so many years is an astronomical amount.
But most of this money fell into the hands of military generals at all levels and their trusted servants.
Ordinary soldiers, at most, just have enough food.
Hearing the propaganda below, the defenders quickly became heartless.
The generals of the Guanning Army were not stupid either, and they responded quickly.
First, he took his servants to suppress the soldiers who were fluctuating in the army, and then ignited the artillery on the city and drove away the propaganda team.
Then the city gate opened, and teams of heavy armored soldiers and cavalry began to leave the city to prepare for battle.
At the same time, Wang Xiao's eyes fell in the mountains to the west.
He pointed at the hill a few miles away, "What is the hill over there called?"
Naturally, someone around him came forward to respond, "It is called Huanxiling."
"snort."
Wang Xiao sneered, "There is not even a bird there, don't you notice something wrong?"
Everyone around looked at each other, not understanding what Wang Xiao meant.
"The army is ambushing there, and it is a wicked wolf who wants to be the oriole bird."
To be continued...
