Chapter 439: Tong Guan Changed Hexagrams
Confinement and writing reviews, these punishments must not be escapable, but Tian Shiyi's final punishment decision made everyone a little stunned. Tian Shiyi ordered Niu Tong to return to Shuangyu Island and personally deliver the pensions of more than 900 soldiers to his family.
At the beginning, Niu Gao had some objections to the punishment of the eleventh brother, thinking that it was too light, and he was afraid that the little strong seed would not have a long memory.
Hu Sanniang is a woman after all, and it is common sense that her mind is more delicate than that of a man. After listening to Hu Sanniang's statement, Niu Gao immediately admired the wisdom of the eleventh brother.
The saddest thing about the soldiers who died in battle was naturally their families, Niu Tong had to personally send out more than 900 bereavement benefits and death notices, and he had to witness the heartbreak and pain of more than 900 families, and Niu Tong was going to experience a spiritual education. Whoever has seen those broken families will no longer let the soldiers under his command die in vain.
After the three battles of Xiuning, the name of the Tianci Army became even louder, and Tian Shiyi's "Three Kills Order" became more awe-inspiring.
Before Fang La returned to Hangzhou, he sent Fang Qifo over to express deep repentance for the people killed in vain on the road of the Yongle army's raid on Yixian.
The first thing Liu Yanqing did when he arrived in Shezhou was to give a guarantee that he would compensate the families of the people who were killed in vain during the raid on Jixi by the official army.
Saying that the bereavement pension is nonsense at all, how can you caress everyone after they have been killed? What Tong Guan wants to express is just an attitude, can't we restrain the soldiers from killing indiscriminately, as long as you don't beat me again. You are also an official person, so you can't help the rebels fight the official army!
At this point, the "Three Killings Order" has finally become an iron law in the southeast, and it is believed that many innocent people can be killed.
Things in the world are always like this, as long as you have the strength, a fart is the truth. If you don't have the strength, then don't speak the truth, because any more truth is better than a fart.
The people who can run away are all old slippery heads, and Liu Yanqing put his posture very low after coming to Shezhou. Neither did he put on an official show nor said the purpose of Tong Guan sending him, and after living in Shezhou Station, he began to eat and sleep, sleep and eat, purely to mess around.
Liu Yanqing knew very well in his heart that he was just a mud bodhisattva, and the one who really wanted to talk about things was the guy named Hu Cheng.
Hu Sanniang didn't come to see her brother, and was busy with her 1,000 Red Armor Lady Army all day long.
Hu Cheng got straight to the point, directly showed Tong Guan's hole cards, and put forward the conditions that it was impossible for Tian Shiyi to refuse, with only one purpose, everyone was reconciled as before, and no longer played.
Condition 1, Tong Guan personally wrote to the imperial court, Fengtian 11 as the county governor of Changguo, and at the same time established the Changguo Water Division, and Fengtian 11 was the commander of the Changguo Water Division. The reason for the official seal is very simple, the Tianci Army has wiped out a lot of chaotic troops on the way to Shezhou, and those are all great contributions.
Tong Guan has only one purpose in doing this, go back to the sea, don't get involved here.
Condition 2 is to order the Quanzhou Ship Division to do its best to complete the sea giant ship required by Yelu Xi Nilie in the shortest possible time.
Its purpose is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than to get the nominal ownership of the Liao State Stone City as soon as possible. Because Tian Shiyi had instructed Prince Xi Nilie that if the ship in Quanzhou Shipyard was not completed in one day, Shicheng would not be nominally handed over to Tong Guan in one day.
Tong Guan did this because he really needed military merit, the war in the southeast was unfavorable, and if he couldn't make some credit that could make the emperor happy, he was afraid that the political enemies in the court would rise up and attack him.
Tong Guan's conditions are indeed unrefusable, and the nominal ownership of Changguo is really important, because that means that Tian Shiyi is no longer a thief, and the Tianci Alliance can also develop in Changguo in peace and stability. The Changguo Sailor is even more of a temptation that cannot be refused, because the Tianci Army will become a legitimate official army.
As for the fact that the army is not a navy, I will say that these are the navy, and you have the ability to bite me!
Naturally, you can't refuse to send good things to the door, but Brother Eleven is not easy to fool. Although these two conditions are good, they can only be regarded as an exchange of interests, and the fact that the official army and the Tianci army went to war for no reason must also be calculated clearly.
Tian Shiyi put forward three conditions, the first is to have iron ore, the second is to have iron ingots, and the third is to have all iron tools that can be reforged.
It really takes iron to build cannons, and the iron of the Heavenly Alliance has never been enough.
Hu Cheng hurried to ask Master Tong for instructions, and Liu Yanqing was left here. As soon as Hu Cheng left, Lou Minzhong, who still didn't know what to call him, came over.
After Lou Lao said his purpose, Tian Shiyi was startled, and Lou Minzhong wanted to lead the troops to Hangzhou.
On the way back to Hangzhou, Fang La passed down a decree, ordering all the generals to lead their troops to Hangzhou, and to gather all the forces of the Yongle Dynasty to fight to the death with the official army in Hangzhou. Lou Minzhong also received Fang La's holy decree, and at the same time, Lou Laoxiang was also appointed as the left minister of the Yongle Dynasty, and was the head of the hundred civil and military officials of the Yongle Dynasty.
Lou Minzhong does not covet the position of the left minister, but he also has his own insistence. The Hangzhou Society has always been a subordinate of Manichaeism, and he and Fang La's father are friends again, and now Manichaeism is in trouble, and Lou Minzhong refuses to sit idly by no matter what.
Tian Shiyi persuaded Lou Minzhong a few words in order not to let the Liu family be widowed, but seeing that Lou Lao insisted on going his own way, he finally had to give up.
Lou Minzhong only took away Li Tianyou and 13,000 elites from the Hangzhou Society, and the newly recruited 30,000 strong men who guarded the city were left to Tian Shiyi. First, those strong men were only trained in how to defend the city, and they were only slaughtered in the field. Second, there are nearly 200,000 people in Shezhou City, including refugees and aborigines, and there is not enough guard force, so Lou Minzhong is not at ease.
Liu originally wanted to go to Hangzhou with Lou Minzhong, but was opposed by Lou Minzhong and Tian Shiyi, and finally had to stay by Shiyi'er's side aggrievedly.
As the saying goes, if you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother, Tian Shiyi feels that Liu's family is a little like having a father-in-law and forgetting her son.
Five days after Lou Minzhong left, Hu Cheng rushed back, and the news he brought back also surprised Tian Shiyi.
Tong Guan agreed to mobilize a large number of iron ingots, iron ore, and iron tools to hand over to Tian Shiyi, but put forward a surprising condition, asking Tian Shiyi to lead the Tianci army to Hangzhou. Tong Guan's letter said that the Tianci army did not need to fight against the Yongle rebels, but only needed to be stationed near Hangzhou to form a threat to the rebels.
This kind of condition is indeed a bit weird, completely contrary to Tong Guan's previous requirements, but it is exactly what Tian Eleven's mind wants.
Tian Shiyi was thinking about what excuse to go to Hangzhou before, firstly, he was a little worried about Lou Minzhong's safety, and secondly, Bao Daoyi was still alive, and he had to be killed to export his evil anger. The third is because he is not at ease with Tong Guan, because there are many differences between the Yongle Dynasty and the Manichaeism in history at this time, and Tian Shiyi is worried that Tong Guan is not Fang La's opponent.
