This is true for playing chess, and it is also true for doing things. He seemed to have seen this step more than ten years ago, and the current state of Gan Lianglu was the result of his changes at that time.

Is this a good or bad result? The answer is clear. Taxes, people's livelihood, and combat power have all been greatly improved, the only flaw is that it is not easy to manage, and the majesty of the imperial court is hated by more and more people here, and the emperor has no market here.

Whether it's good or bad Wang Hou can't tell, but when he thinks that he is about to leave this land, he has never felt more nostalgia. He even thought about resigning from his official position and buying a piece of pioneer land to live here for the rest of his life.

"Actually, otherwise, it will be the same in less than five years. If Brother Chu Dao has the opportunity to go out for a walk, he will find that there are such people in many prefectures, counties, villages and towns on Fujian Road, Liangzhe Road, Guangnan East Road, Jinghu North Road, Jingdong East Road, Damingfu Road, and Huainan West Road, with hundreds or thousands of people at most and as few as three or five people. ”

Hong Tao believed that what Wang Hou said was true, and the imperial court had long looked at Ganliang Road unpleasantly, but this place was too remote and involved the interests of many local Tibetan people, so he did not start for a long time.

But as the population grows in size and economic status increases, this tolerance becomes less and less. Sooner or later, the DPRK and China forces will not be able to bear it, and if they want to get the benefits here, they must redefine the rules, and whoever gets in the way of their affairs will be excluded.

"Xia Guan also heard that King Liang had built a academy in Yangzhou, and the students he taught must be like them. But once the court makes up its mind, they are afraid that their arms will not be able to reach their thighs. Wang Hou really lacks political awareness, and Hong Tao said it so explicitly that he still didn't hear the voiceover.

"As long as it is a new policy that can make the people rich and the country strong, the king will support it, which is also the last wish of the emperor, and His Royal Highness King Qi thinks so." In the face of such a confused person, Hong Tao can't understate it.

If it weren't for Wang Shao's nagging that his son was useless when he was fine, and he wanted to take more care of himself, he really didn't want to pull Wang Hou into the gang. He is not suitable to be the pioneer of reform, and it is reassuring to find a city to be a manager when the dust settles.

"King Qi! …… ......"Wang Hou finally understood a little, but he didn't understand it all." But understanding this made him dumbfounded, and he couldn't hold the chess pieces in his hand, and fell on the wooden chessboard and rolled a few more times.

"Don't be so shocked, this king is not the kind of person that Brother Chu Dao thinks in his heart, and he will not force you to do anything that is ashamed of your ancestors. But one day, if someone really wants to destroy Ganliang Road, then King Ben and King Qi will never ignore it. When the time comes, I hope that Brother Dao can strictly abide by his heart, maintain the peace of Ganliang Road, and make a decision after all the dust settles? ”

The idea of pulling Wang Hou together to oppose the court is unreliable and unsafe, his whole family is in Kaifeng, and he is not the kind of person who likes to pioneer. Then settle for the next best thing and pretend to be stupid, right? That's your father's specialty, and it won't be passed down at all.

“…… Please also ask King Liang to tell him the truth, the matter has really reached the point of being out of control? Wang Hou probably also understands why he can go out with the new army, it seems that the ancients are right, there is indeed no benefit in the world, and the price he has to pay this time is really a bit big.

"Not yet, at least not until we pacify Western Xia. But Brother Chu Dao didn't know that the danger of King Qi this time was not a plan of the Western Xia people, but someone in the court deliberately did it. If it weren't for the fact that this king had privately allocated this army of soldiers and horses to come quickly, Lanzhou would have broken the city sooner or later. There is no need to repeat the calculation of the mechanism here, I think Brother Dao can think about it. You should also know how this dynasty treats the people who privately invest in soldiers and horses, and there has been no turning back for this king since he was fighting. I didn't want to say that I was forced to do this, that would seem more hypocritical, but it was true. This king promised the former emperor to assist King Qi to ascend the throne, and it was okay to be a few years later, or even treacherous, but it didn't work out in this way. Personal rights and wrongs are put aside, if Brother Dao thinks that Ganliang Road should be restored to its original state, and the Great Song Dynasty is still going to be bullied by foreigners, then don't agree. With the friendship between General Wang and this king, you don't have to worry about safety, but don't go back to Ganliang Road, the vast majority of people there can't tolerate you. Baga, accompany this king to the artillery position to see, Wang Shuaisi thought slowly, don't be in a hurry, it will take another month or two to conquer Xingqing Mansion. ”

Faced with Wang Hou's fantasy, Hong Tao could only tell him the truth, and by the way, he would also tell him the consequences. The twisted melon is not sweet, and there is no need for wall grass in this matter, let alone too many people and horses, which is meaningless except to harm the people.

Wang Qi's artillery position in the west of the city was very close to Wang Da's main force, less than 100 meters, and fifteen field guns were lined up, and the fortifications had been dug. The other fifteen gates were not unloaded at all, and had already been transferred to Jiang Erlang's side, and they went to the east of the city together when the gap in the city wall was cleared and leveled by the militia.

The Western Xia defenders probably also saw the intentions of the new army, but no matter how much reinforcements were there, they couldn't get close to the gap. Jiang Erlang had already led his forward regiment to the east side of the city wall, blocking the defenders on the city wall from the other side. Without the guards of the battlements, the rifle became even more powerful.

Wang Da's side is relatively stable, and the ammonium oil medicine roll has been plugged, but the fuse has not been installed. As soon as the time for the city to be broken comes, the city walls here still cannot escape the fate of collapse.

The new army lined up in three columns outside the west gate sat on the ground, only some snipers and soldiers with more accurate marksmanship were still squatting in the foxhole and looking at the city, and there were always some Western Xia soldiers who couldn't help but show their heads and take a look, and then became their number of kills and credit.

Before noon, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the north of the city, and it seemed that the Western Xia defenders could not bear this passive situation, and sent people out to try to sneak attack Jiang Erlang's forward regiment.

But the timing was not right, at this time the city wall in the north of the city had been completely lost, Xiao Wuna's marines climbed to the top of the city, more than 3,000 muskets, and the advantage of condescending, how many people came in vain.

At lunchtime, Wang Qi's artillery carriages passed through the gap one after another, and the gunfire in the north of the city was also shifting to the east of the city. It seems that Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna not only did not defend, but also played field battles with the Western Xia cavalry, but this time they changed positions, the infantry chased and the cavalry ran.

Why can Hong Tao see the scene on the other side through the city wall? Because he had already climbed up, he deliberately moved a hundred and ten meters north in order to prevent a large rock that might fly over.

Don't worry about the Western Xia army on the north city wall, Wang Fifty-six is leading the militia along the city wall to encircle and suppress it, it is estimated that he will not come back for lunch, and it is not clear whether he will come back for dinner. As soon as young people find something fun, they don't feel hungry if they eat two less meals.

"Come, eat first, and taste the craftsmanship of this king's barbecue. Don't pout, this time is different, have you seen it, I've brushed the sugar water. "Lacking an idler who can be educated, Hong Tao has to pull Wang Hou to accompany him.

Putting a barbecue grill on the enemy's city wall, and watching the battle while fanning the fan, he felt that he was similar to Zhuge Liang, or even more powerful. Zhuge Liang is just pretending to be an empty fan, he is a real fan, and every fan is smoking.

This lunch was very unsteady, the main force of Wang Da on the west gate did not have anything to do, the gunfire on the east gate was dense for a while, and there were a few cannon shots from time to time, it seemed that Wang Qi began to block the two city gates with shotguns.

You don't need to see Hong Tao with your own eyes to know how fierce the battle is, the three-inch field gun's shotgun is composed of more than 80 pieces of pig iron, the effective range is more than 400 meters, the maximum rate of fire is six rounds per minute, and two cannons can seal a city gate.

Whether it is infantry or cavalry, it is tofu in front of these whistling iron blocks, and half a person does not want to rush out. In this way, there are cannon sounds from time to time, which proves that the Tangut people must be in a hurry.

"You can taste two pieces, but you can't bake it for your father, and it will make your uncle's uncle's anxious face black. Go and go, start the attack, and save some shells for Lao Qi's side. ”

Wang Da doesn't like to eat rice candy very much, mainly because he is a little tired of eating it. White sugar is a rarity to others, and it is not attractive to her, so she simply leans on the city wall and rubs a few pieces of barbecue. There are several different flavors of spices for this thing, which is better than eating rice candy.
