"Qiongniang, do you remember how I dealt with Ziqi last year?" Wang Ju asked.

Wang Ju can now be said to have a big family, but he is sometimes not at home, Qiong Niang is a person with ideas, and with the passage of time, the influence on him in his previous life has faded, so he has changed his attitude towards Qiong Niang. Sometimes I deliberately teach it, so when I am not there, Qiong Niang can preside over some small things for me.

Remember how Wu Zetian got to power?

Or as time goes by, whether Tang Gaozong Li Zhi will regret it, it is estimated that most of them will not regret it.

However, compared to Wu Zetian, Qiong Niang will definitely not be able to catch up, and her ambitions are also much smaller.

Wang Ju just prompted, and Qiongniang would understand, but she asked again: "The concubine heard that there are many mountains and forests over there." ”

"Yes, but there's another terrain over there, called Karst,......" Wang Ju said, and went to Ziqi.

Crossing the warm water is self-defeating.

The terrain of Wenshui in the north of Shicheng County is very similar to that of Dali, that is, the northwest is high, mountainous and forested, and the southeast is low and sloping.

This slope is different from the slope of the Loess Plateau, which is a thousand mountains and ravines. The slopes here are very flat, as flat as plains.

However, it is not a plain, and there are many stone forests. The most famous stone forest is the stone forest on the edge of Kunming, the southwest, the famous karst landform. But these stone forests in Ziqi are different from the famous stone forests in Kunming, where the stone forests are more dense, mostly bare real stone peaks. The stone forest here is slightly sparse, the flat slope occupies more than seventy percent of the surface area, the stone forest is less than thirty percent, and the sparse place is less than one percent. And because there are several large rivers passing by. The water system is well developed. The stone forest itself is sparse. It is mostly weathered, so there are dense plants and trees growing on each stone forest, so it becomes a beautiful "Xiufeng", forming a beautiful landscape.

Wang Julai didn't come to see the scenery, he didn't stop and continued to drive northwest.

However, Wang Ju also took a look at the villages intentionally, and it seemed that they should be very stable. As they passed, some of the people who were doing farm work stopped their work and stared at them with only curiosity in their eyes, and no other negative emotions.

Wang Ju nodded in his heart.

If you want to govern a region, you must have some means of deterrence, but you must focus on Huairou. Why did the Song Dynasty fail? Is it wrong to give grace to the people?

If the people are gracious and the people are not grateful, then it will be heavenly.

The Huairou policy of the Song Dynasty cannot be said to be wrong, it is not Huairou itself that is wrong. Rather, it is the object of tenderness.

This object is not the people, but the barbarian leaders. This is what came to be known as the various toasts.

It involves another question, why is it that the higher the official, or the richer he is, the less likely he is to be patriotic, but the poorer he is, the more patriotic he is?

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the system is not perfect, and it is difficult for people with both ability and political integrity to get into the position, whether they are in business or politics. And the people in the upper position are all scheming people, in order to get to the top, they have to use all kinds of illegal means, how can this kind of person put the interests of the country above their own interests, that is to say, the more people in the upper position, the lower the proportion of patriotism.

The same is true of the Song Dynasty's barbarian policy mistakes.

The barbarian leaders who can make the Song Dynasty take action are all unruly and unruly big clan barbarian leaders, and they have enough power in their hands, how can such people know how to be grateful, the softer the Song Dynasty is, the more it fuels their ambitions.

Wang Ju didn't say anything, he would only do it.

This is why there is a later "fight local tyrants, all wealth", but a village also needs a leader, who will assist the government in completing taxes and conveying various decrees. So Wang Ju asked some arrogant barbarians to be executed, and let the people of each village choose a virtuous elder by themselves, but two restrictions were made, the first is best to recognize a few words, so that you can understand the text issued by the government, and the second family situation can not be too good, otherwise it will evolve into the second barbarian head. However, the head of the new village will be exempted from the government's personal money, and he will also enjoy a subsidy of more than ten yuan of goods every year, which is actually included in the system of the exemption law.

This body money is also the object of the brick family in later generations.

The reason why there is this money is because many barbarian areas are slash-and-burn and cannot use the cultivated area to levy two taxes, so a different method is to use a part of the tax system of the Tang Dynasty, which does not calculate taxes on land, but on the method of taxing Ding, with men 20 for Ding and 60 for old. There is no levy before the age of 20, and no levy after the age of 60. Therefore, the areas where Dingqian was levied were only Liangzhejiang, Fujian, Jinghu and Guangnan South Six Roads. The body money on Liangzhejiang Road is not a pure body money, but also includes Ding salt money and so on. As for the Fujian Road, it is also not for the barbarians, mainly because there is less land and more mountains, and many people are engaged in business or fishing, and if the tax is levied on the land, the levy will put pressure on the people who farm, and the amount of tax will be small, which is unfair to other regions, so it is levied together with the two taxes. Jinghu and Guangnan are aimed at the familiar barbarians.

And the number is not very large, Song Zhenzong once dismissed a year's body money, more than 400,000 guan, now a little more than Song Zhenzong, but it is also less than 1 million, if the large area, share hundreds of thousands of guan, can you say more?

But why did there arise some problems, not because there was a lot of money, but because in addition to the money, there was also the exploitation of various barbarians, and now there is another money, which has undoubtedly become a straw that crushes the camel. It was not the last straw that actually broke the camel's back, but the straw that preceded it, and that was the main reason. Perhaps in order to take care of ethnic minorities, the brick family can't see this anymore.

Since Wang Ju wants to directly control these areas, there will inevitably be management costs, and money is inevitable, in addition to the body, although the wine cannot be implemented, but the salt policy has also been pushed out, in addition to the salt, there are commercial taxes, and some other taxes that the local people can accept.

In order to levy money, Wang Ju divided the barbarian targets into two types, the first is very arrogant, and the second is the serious exploitation of ordinary barbarians, and the attack area is pushed from Hengshanzhai to the front line.

Without the brutal exploitation of these barbarians, can the money still increase the burden on the people?

In order to increase the commercial tax, it is not only the Qi tax. It is also necessary to promote the development of commerce and trade.

In addition, there are some soft policies.

For example, building roads for them. Water conservancy. Schools, and so on.

In addition to these policies, there are small activities like these dolls.

Wang Ju set up several workshops in Yongzhou to make all kinds of dolls, ceramic dolls, plush dolls made of cotton and wool, wooden dolls, and more. He also made some leather balls or other cute toys, printed more than a dozen sets of comic books, and then asked the wild dragon Basheng to take the steward and distribute them to the children in various villages. Why is the wild dragon Baasheng, one is a Tibetan person, the other is a barbarian, and neither is a Han Chinese, which is more convincing.

Although a lot of money was used, the entire Quang Nam West Road was still a vast and sparsely populated place, and each child had a gift. The number of teenagers and children is only three or four hundred thousand, so the cost is within the range that Wang Ju can afford.

But that's it. Most of the barbarians will be happy, and the commotion caused by Wang Ju's promotion of the new policy will naturally subside.

This kind of stability laid a good foundation for the next war.

Wang Ju came to the state city of Ziqizhou, and the state city expanded by a stockade on the trade road, which was not much better than the walled city in Yetho, and it can only be said that the city wall is more formal.

The officials in the city greeted the general, and Wang Ju only said a few cold words, and then went to the front line.

Yanda is preparing for the war.

Wang Ju asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"They sent messengers, but I obeyed Shaobao's instructions and forcefully refused. But I deliberately let them see the army......

This is still Wang Ju's idea.

Most of the weapons that had been given to the various natives and captured from Cochin were given to the Cham people as gifts of friendship.

However, the quality of the small number of weapons captured from Jiaozhi is still good, and Wang Ju has kept them, and these weapons will still be useful in the future. As for the army organized by Wang Ju in Quang Nam, Wang Ju spared no expense and was fully armed, all of which were new-style chain mail, new-style knives, compound bows and a small number of divine arm bows, and these weapons were no longer needed. But Wang Ju sent people to deliver these weapons, grain and grass to Ziqi in advance.

The barbarians sent envoys to sue for peace, and Yan Da arranged according to Wang Ju's instructions, and deliberately asked the Song army who came to hide the original armor weapons together, and replaced them with Jiaozhi armor weapons, or they did not wear armor at all, but only held bamboo bows and signs made by the local barbarians, so as to misunderstand the barbarians.

Wang Ju looked at the barracks again, and most of the soldiers were still wearing this tattered armor, or they didn't wear armor, and continued to confuse the enemy. However, the military camp was in order, Wang Ju nodded, and said, "Go and see the barbarian barbarians' military camp." ”

"Hehe," Yao Xiong laughed strangely.

"Yao Xiong, what are you laughing at?"

"Shaobao, just go and see."

Wang Ju led the group to a hillside to the west, and in front of him was the place where the barbarians had gathered their army.

Yao Xiong said again: "Shaobao, take a look." ”

Wang Ju raised the telescope and looked west.

There were quite a few barbarian soldiers assembling one after another, and some barbarians escorted a steady stream of grain, grass and livestock over, and left the barracks to return after unloading the grain and grass.

When the war came, the Song army had to prepare grain and grass, and the Wuman had to prepare grain and grass.

The difference is that the grain and grass of the Song army were secretly assembled in the city of Ziqizhou as early as a few months ago with the escort of various materials during the construction of roads and water conservancy. The barbarians are immediately assembled, otherwise what should they do? So many soldiers came, just to eat and drink, and after ten days, they also emptied the Ye Tho department. Therefore, when they asked for help from other Ukrainian tribes, they not only asked for help from the soldiers, but also asked for help from them to support grain and grass.

This is not what Yao Xiong feels funny and despised, what makes him amused is one word: chaos!

There were a lot of barbarian soldiers here, but now their barracks were a mess, and the soldiers behind them kept gathering, and from time to time there were supplies escorted over to unload, and it was already chaotic.

Yao Xiong said: "Shaobao, give me 5,000 cavalry, and I will immediately guarantee a big victory." ”

Wang Ju smiled, turned his head to look at Yan Da, Yan Da said with a little shame: "I understand why Shao Bao took Dali." ”

It may be that the soldiers of Dali are stronger than the Song army. At least the soldiers of the Barbarian tribes are more wild than most of the soldiers on the West Road of Guangnan. But it doesn't work when combined, it's not like an army at all.

So Yao Xiong smiled contemptuously, but Yan Da thought of what Wang Ju had said before.

Dali is Dali, Nanzhao is Nanzhao, Montessori can defeat the Tang army, although Yang Guozhong has no command, but at that time Montessori Nanzhao was the time of expansion, the war was endless, the army was strong in combat effectiveness, morale was strong, and after a large-scale war, the armies were well-coordinated, on the contrary, Yang Guozhong was a new army organized in a hurry, so the Tang army was defeated, not a portrayal of the real strength of the two countries.

When he arrived in Dali, even the Duan clan replaced the Yang clan, and there was almost no tragic war, or the attack was Jiaozhi, and he was beaten and fled back.

It may be that the vendettas of various tribes continue to fight and fight, resulting in many soldiers being more fierce, but it is not possible to combine them.

Can an army without military discipline and cooperation still fight a good war?

As a result, he was beaten by Jiaozhi and defeated miserably.

It is in this situation that the attack on Cochins will not cost much money, including the casualties of the soldiers.

"General Yan, how many are here?" Wang Ju asked. This is easier to observe, because each department has its own army, but Wang Ju just came to take a look, and he can't change himself to lower his status as a scout.

"At the moment, there are fifteen tribes, and it is estimated that there are still some tribes participating in the war in the future, but there must be some barbarian tribes who will not come."

"It seems that this loose alliance of the barbarians is getting looser and looser...... Did Dali send troops to the war? ”

"Yes, the scouts are also gathering troops on Dali's side, and they haven't been assembled yet, so I don't know how many troops they can send."

Yao Lin said: "Shaobao, do you want us to launch an attack and defeat them so as to attract more troops." ”

Why did Wang Ju ask Liu Kai to say that.

In fact, the reason is very simple, these tribes are scattered everywhere, and some of the tribes are located in very complex terrain, so it is best to let them gather their forces together and annihilate them at the border of Ziqi. And with troops here, the cost will be low.

That's the stalemate!

But from Dali's point of view, isn't Liu Kai right? Could it be that the Dali army is really that weak? We barbarian children, when we encounter battle, we see death as home......

Well, the goal is reached.

Just like Hu Guanglin, he stationed his soldiers and horses around the relatively gentle lonely mountain, did not attack, only held on, and attracted all the barbarian soldiers together, Wang Ju arrived with the cavalry, and killed or captured them together. Self-defeating!

The current tactic is still the same, that is, to find a way to attract the troops of the various Ukrainian barbarian departments here and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Fighting here, it's not easy to say. Even if there is a sudden weather, everyone is the same. Anyway, Wang Ju is also full of brute soldiers in his hands, and he will not be repelled by the weather here.

The location is still the same for everyone, Dali is familiar with it, and Song Jun is also familiar with it.

At the junction of the two countries, no one can talk about the support of the people.

Then it is a competition for the strength and weakness of the army...... (To be continued......)
