Chapter 679: Yellow Sparrow (I)

Li Yuantong was completely stunned in the village.

The Song army doesn't need to be camouflaged now, all the new chain mail, all the new weapons, plus the strict military discipline, tens of thousands of people in formation, it looks daunting.

Besides, after Wang Ju finished shouting, he rode back, and the Song army behind pushed out the prisoners of war, let them dig the soil and pour them into the straw bags, and planned to move them under the fence wall, if they put arrows, only the Dali soldiers died, if they didn't release the arrows, under the pressure of the Song army, they would soon be able to fill the trench, and the mud bags were in line with the fence wall, and the Song army calmly attacked the village, so what else to fight?

He sighed and said, "Surrender." ”

More than 20,000 Dali soldiers wailed, laid down their weapons, opened the gates, walked out, and surrendered.

"It's over so soon?" Miao Lu asked dumbfounded.

"How long do you want to fight?" Yao Lin said with a smile.

Of course, if it weren't for this strategy, or a different location, it would still be a terrible battle to force these Dali soldiers to surrender.

Wang Ju said solemnly: "This war is only a war at the border, and when the country is facing destruction, it will not be like this." Don't be proud, the arrogant army will be defeated! ”

"Yes."

But Miao Lu said again: "It's really a big scene." ”

He swept with the homeless, and the scene was also big, but it was the homeless, not as many regular soldiers as now, and he had never seen so many prisoners of war, more than 47,000 prisoners of war!

"Shaobao, it's really a lustful and inward-looking." Yanda said.

It's really hard to say, but the power of an individual is really small in such a large-scale army.

Wang Ju was noncommittal and said, "General Yao." Identify the various bosses, large and small. ”

Yao Lin led his men to screen the prisoners of war.

It's getting dark. More than 1,000 leaders were identified. Some were generals sent by Dali, and twenty-one barbarian leaders came with the army and captured 19 people alive. The rest are the owners of the villages.

Zhao Rabi was also caught, Wang Ju also deliberately glanced at him, and when he saw Wang Ju's eyes sweeping over, Zhao Rabi lowered his head, and his legs kept trembling.

Wang Juquan didn't see it, and continued to scan the others. Huang Hua rushed over. grabbed his clothes, and was persuaded by Yan Da for a long time before letting go of his hand.

But Huang Hua still glared angrily at Zhao Rabi.

Maybe some of the small leaders present didn't know, but people with identities knew about this grievance, and even it was this grievance that led to their current fate, so they looked at Wang Ju worriedly.

"Brother alcohol, and calm your anger." Wang Ju persuaded Huang Hua, then looked at these people and said, "A few months ago, my idea. It is the intention of your barbarian ministries to adopt a policy of co-opting and friendly. ”

There are many people, and some people may not be able to hear him clearly in the back. Therefore, Wang Ju used the herald, and when the herald spoke, he used the local barbarian language. After all, many areas of Wuman are backward, and there are really some leaders who can't understand Chinese.

"But I didn't expect that a certain person was greatly humiliated by your barbarians, and a certain prince who was the prince of the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty, you were not only humiliating a certain person, but also humiliating the entire Great Song Dynasty."

One of them immediately said, "It has nothing to do with us." ”

"Then why are you here?"

The man was immediately dumbfounded.

"In my opinion, I hate to slaughter you all, but I have always valued peace."

Li Yuantong is quite disdainful in his heart, just based on what you did in Jiaozhi, can you call harmony precious?

However, he really thought wrong, although Wang Ju's idea of beating Dali could really be said to be precious, at least he never had any bloody thoughts from beginning to end.

But regardless of whether Wang Ju had this idea or not, Li Yuantong didn't dare to question it.

"Therefore, I will give you two choices, one is to die, and the other is to accept my arrangement and cooperate with me as much as possible."

Li Yuantong had the courage to ask: "Shaobao, what arrangement?" ”

"I will write to the imperial court and grant you some official positions, the big heads will have the positions of assassination, and the small heads will have the official positions of military leaders and commanders."

In fact, without the approval of the imperial court, Wang Ju has the right to grant these empty official positions, they are rank officials, but the official must be approved by the imperial court, and Wang Ju has no right to grant such an official as Assassin Shi.

"In addition, the assassin will be paid two thousand yuan a year, the military leader is one thousand, and the commander is five hundred yuan, but you not only have to cooperate with me, but the whole family must also relocate the original village!"

"No!" Yanda asked eagerly.

Li Yuantong also felt wrong, and asked: "Shaobao, there are many leaders here now." ”

For more than 1,000 people, if you plan to have 1,000 guan per person, you have to pay more than 1 million guan a year. Moreover, there will be countless more bosses in the future. Wang Ju secretly glanced at Yan Da and said, "General Li, our Great Song Dynasty earns nearly 200 million a year, can you care about this money?" ”

The account is not calculated like this, but how does Li Yuantong know, even if it is a million, it is really nothing compared to 200 million.

"Maybe you don't understand how much five hundred guan is, Zichuan!"

"Whoa." Wang Zichuan replied, and took out silver, cloth, tea, and porcelain from the back of the camp, and divided them into four piles.

Wang Ju said: "Each pile here is equivalent to five hundred guan, one thousand guan is twice as many as them, and two thousand guan is four times as many as them. ”

In the era of lack of currency, backward regions can only be understood in kind.

Li Yuanneng still didn't understand, and asked, "Shaobao, why do you want to do this?" ”

"In view of this humiliation, in order to punish you Dali, a certain must occupy the two counties of Dongchuan Shicheng, but some tribes did not come, and some villages did not come, and a certain requires that you must persuade them for a certain and be a guide for a certain one. In addition, after you migrate, you will be given official positions and high salaries, which will be used to stabilize the people's hearts. This is the biggest concession of a certain one, agree and accept, disagree is a word, die! Think for yourselves one night, and give a certain answer tomorrow. ”

"I agree, I agree," Zhao Ravi shouted.

"Nope." Huang Hua was furious again.

Wang Ju made a gesture to silence Huang Hua, and then took a deep breath. It seemed to suppress the anger in his heart. Said: "Recruit Ravi." I hate to break you into pieces, but I will do it when I say it, and if you agree, I will also give you a job as a assassin, and pay you a salary of 2,000 yuan a year. But you have to cooperate with so-and-so, or so-and-so will surely turn your bones into ashes! ”

"Okay, okay." Zhao Rabi kept kowtowing, and his head kept nodding like a chicken eating rice.

However, the big and small leaders of the barbarians did not laugh shamefully. This time, the Song Dynasty sent troops, and Zhao Rabi was the culprit, and it would be good to be lucky enough to survive.

Li Yuantong asked again: "What if China regrets it in the future?" ”

"Tomorrow we can take a solemn oath here, an oath to heaven. But General Li, you're talking too much. ”

Li Yuantong was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.

But Wang Ju didn't pay any attention to him, and said again: "Think about it, there is only this one night." Hold them down and let them think slowly. ”

Yao Lin thought that these people would be escorted to the village again and sent people to guard them.

Yan Da asked puzzledly: "Shaobao, do you really give them so much salary?" The court will not agree. ”

Why do you say that?

Wang Julin is from Qizhou. wrote a notebook and delivered it to the capital with a special foot. Explain the reason for sending troops.

However, after so many days of stalemate, Wang Ju received an edict from the imperial court, saying that the imperial court had ordered Kumamoto, Miao and Liu Changzuo to go south.

That is, ten days ago, the imperial court issued an edict, let Kumamoto and Miao Liu go south, this edict to the hands of the three people, the three of them set off again, and they also had to collect 5,000 cavalry, 3,000 Sichuan soldiers, and the people's grain and grass and so on. I'm afraid that by the time I arrive in southern Sichuan, it will already be the first month and a half of next year. If it is a little slower, it may be delayed until February next year.

Previously, Yanda expressed concern that many people in the imperial court would not agree.

Wang Ju said lightly, you all think that Dali has a large territory, a relatively large population, and complex terrain, and a history of defeating the Tang army. Besides, many of the ministers in the court do not know how to soldier, so they will be more worried. So it's been delayed for a while, but it's normal.

In fact, Wang Ju was also unhappy in his heart.

Wang Ju has the right to grant these leaders empty ranks, but Wang Ju has no right to pay this salary, with the virtue of those ministers in the court, are they willing to pay so much salary? Besides, this is still the beginning, and there may be more and more leaders to be sent to the capital in the future.

"The court will definitely not agree, I will pay for this money."

"Shaobao, are you coming out?"

"If I send them overseas, I don't break my oath."

"Well, this is not violated," Yan Da said, Wang Ju only said that he was migrating to the original village, and did not say where he was migrating, as Yan Da reacted: "Overseas? ”

"If it is placed on an isolated island, a pound of pork is always money, and a stone of rice is ten yuan, can I pay them so much money?"

"Hahaha," Yan Da finally understood, but he still didn't understand: "Shaobao, I found that you treat Jiaozhi people and Dali people, and you have a different attitude. ”

It really doesn't matter what actually soothes people's hearts, as long as there is a "land reform", you can exchange it for the support of most barbarians. Can ordinary people be expected to have any concept of family and country race? Most are not looking at who gives them more benefits.

Therefore, there is no need to stay with these leaders, just kill them. No matter how cunningly Wang Ju resettled, now he gave these leaders and their families a way to live.

So Yanda was puzzled.

"There are two reasons, the first reason is that Guo Gong went south at that time, I heard about Guo Gong, and I felt that Guo Gong might not succeed. Therefore, I calculated in Quanzhou how to really occupy Jiaozhi. But after calculating for a long time, there was still no good way, so I came up with the pirate plan for the Beibu Gulf. One is the overseas foundation, and the other is to allow the imperial court to completely govern Jiaozhi. It wasn't until I came to Quang Nam that I saw Dali's weakness. And after Nanzhao and Dali were founded, there was another advantage, that is, many regions had systems and preliminary management, rather than the early Tang Dynasty. Either the civilization is very backward, like the natives on those islands overseas, the backwardness of weapons and armor leads to low combat effectiveness, and expulsion. Either there is a certain civilization, and this civilization is in a state of relative peace for a long time, and the soldiers lack combat experience. Both of these situations are conducive to the army's combat. But the most afraid are two, semi-civilized and semi-civilized areas, Wuman is a little better, if it is enlarged to the entire Dali area, it will be a headache. This is also the reason why the early Tang Dynasty could not really govern this area, and had to launch Montessori as a spokesperson. There is also a civilization that is on the rise. And it's expanding. It's like Cochin. It's going to be a headache too. However, Dali is not the latter, but the former, with a certain civilization system and taxes, there has been no large-scale war for a long time, the soldiers lack experience in major wars, and most areas advocate Buddhism, aversion to killing, and the way of life is mostly settled and semi-nomadic. It is not a real nomadic area, with no fixed place to live and difficult to manage, so the current Dali and the Mengshi Nanzhao of the Tang Dynasty are of different nature. Coupled with the meaning behind it, I thought of Dali. ”

After this battle, Wang Ju's words now are undoubtedly more convincing.

"But the difficulty is not in defeating Dali, but in the governance after defeating Dali. If it is still like the fetters of the Tang Dynasty, it is better not to use soldiers. Then I have been thinking hard, trying to move this sweep to Dali, which is obviously unlikely. One is not near the sea, and the other is too large. Not only want to how to govern Dali. I was also thinking about how to deal with some unruly barbarian chieftains in Quang Nam, so I came up with the idea of even the barbarian chieftain. I also used Ziqizhou to do a pilot to see how it worked. But by then, the first sweep had already begun, and the hatred had already ended, could I still re-enforce my strategy in Cochin? So in Cochin had to continue to sweep on. ”

In fact, Wang Ju never thought of blackmailing Dali from beginning to end. This also shows that he is still influenced by his previous life, including his hatred of the natives of Nanyang.

However, even if it is the implementation of Dali's strategy for Jiaozhi, it is estimated that it may not be successful, because the core area of Jiaozhi is almost the same as that of the Song Dynasty, but whether it is the barbarian area of Guangnan West Road, or Dali, or the Tusi system.

It can only be said that not long after the founding of the country, if Wang Ju did not have the idea of contempt, but seriously thought about better Huairou methods, there might not be the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

This reason is just a reason for Wang Ju to prevaricate the generals.

Wang Ju looked at the few important generals in front of him again, and continued: "The second reason, as you all know, is why I claim to only occupy Shicheng County and Dongchuan County, one is that these two counties almost cover two-thirds of the Wuman. The second is to occupy these two counties, so that the upper can communicate with Rongzhou, and the east can communicate with Guangnan, so that it is closely linked with the Great Song Dynasty. However, this time, the Yixi Division, the Nainiang Division (also known as the Yiniang Division), the Manbu Division, the Wusa Division, the Wumeng Division, and the Atou Division, because most of them are really mountainous areas, are not closely connected with other departments in Wuman, so they did not send reinforcements to come. If Xiong Botong's army has arrived, as soon as the north and south are attacked, several troops will surrender. However, it did not come, and we could only force our attack. ”

On top of these departments is the Changning Army, that is, the Xuzhou Man.

When Kumamoto operated Luzhouman, the Song Dynasty built Wuning and Anyi, under the strong persecution of Kumamoto, the local barbarian leaders offered Changning, Yan, Feng, Gao, Xue, Gong, Shu, Si'e and other ten states, but now there is no Changning army, but put the Shujing Supervisor, under the jurisdiction of Luzhou. And then above is Rongzhou Yibin.

Although the Song Dynasty's ability to control the Shujing area was very weak, it had been restrained, and it could barely be regarded as the territory of the Song Dynasty.

However, Wang Ju missed an area, that is, the southwest Yi in the northeast of the border between the two counties, and there was no way to do this. Even if Dali can be won in the future, this area will become a country like Meishan for a long time, and it is a large version of China with an area more than ten times that of the Meishan area.

But only the Song Dynasty had ambitions, and if it did not decay immediately, Dali could always be controlled, and this area could still be digested in the future. If the Song Dynasty declined, even if Dali might lose it again, let alone this southwestern Yi region with more complex topography.

Therefore, Wang Ju consciously did not mention it, that is, it will be operated in the future, and it may be more than ten or twenty years later.

"But without Xiong Botong's cooperation in the north, we fought unilaterally, and even I had no right to transfer the materials from the Bashu side, so I had to turn the materials from Guangnan West Road step by step, and where there are many real mountainous areas, there are few troops that cannot be pacified, and there are many soldiers, just logistics, I am at a loss. Therefore, it can only be mainly forced to surrender, supplemented by war. The first is to use troops to force surrender, and the second is to persuade, if these barbarian leaders are used to persuade them, the effect will be half stronger than our persuasion. ”

The latter one is true.

Two reasons are enough to answer the generals' questions.

Yan Da sighed slightly and said, "It's a pity that Xiong Gong came very late......"

It was obviously too late to wait for Xiong to make a move against the barbarians in the northeast region of Dongchuan County.

But don't underestimate this area, although the area is slightly smaller than Meishanman, the terrain is more complex, and even the area itself is not much smaller than Meishanman.

Supply is also more difficult than in the Meishanman area.

Although Yanda is not afraid, the difficulty of conquering this area this time cannot be ignored. Of course, if you leave this complicated area and transfer to the current place, no matter how many soldiers and horses are transferred, you can easily defeat them.

But if the imperial court let Kumamoto go south in advance, the army would soon arrive in Bashu, and with Kumamoto's prestige in the southwest, it would be enough for these barbarians to surrender without a fight.

Now I have to gnaw slowly step by step.

Wang Ju also sighed in his heart.

Kumamoto is only going south now, and he can play a role in letting him wave his troops across the Dadu River, which can play a good role in diversion, but it is not as big as the role played by the current arrival.

This made him firm in the idea of "going it alone in the future".

He said: "Dispatch the instructors of the battalions. ”

That is, those instructors who do ideological work, let them enter the prisoners of war together, and persuade these prisoners of war...... Or rather, brainwashing.

Then he said Wang Ju's arrangements for the future of the various clans.

The chieftains gave the high-ranking officials generous favors and migrated away. Their homes and cultivated land or other immovable property will be divided equally among them as a further temptation. Then take them to visit ten selected villages from Qizhou, and let the people of these villages communicate with them about the changes after the government came.

After the end of the day, if they were willing to join the Song army, then like the Guangnan native soldiers, they were given a salary of 30 guan a year, and if they were unwilling to participate, they were immediately released home.

The conditions were very benevolent, so that after a while, Wang Ju heard the cheers from the place where the prisoners of war were held.

"It's finished." Yao Lin said.

Wang Ju also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone was about to disperse, news came from the rear, Achang sent troops, he not only recruited seven stockades to rebel with him, but also pulled nearly a thousand soldiers and horses from the Luodian area in the north of the Qiqi River, just when Wang Ju brought the army to the front line to confront the Dali army, Achang took nearly 2,000 rebels and killed Ziqizhou City.

Less than two thousand, to be exact.

But two thousand or three thousand, as long as they are killed, it really doesn't matter.

Wang Ju almost didn't have any arrangements, and only said: "General Qu, take a cavalry to destroy them, but there is no need to let them go this time." Those who surrendered, let them be coolies who escorted supplies. ”

"Whoa." Qu Zhen went down.

The fact is that Ah Chang has come out, but now he wants to cry...... (To be continued......)
