Chapter 109: When King Qin came, he didn't pay for food

After reading it, Gao Junshan returned the "Song of Persuasion" to Li Xin and praised: "It's very well written! ”

Li Xin took this opportunity to say: "King Qin, if our army makes up some catchy nursery rhymes to sing everywhere we go, it will deepen the people's understanding of us. ”

"That's a good idea!"

"King Qin, I have a ready-made song here, please take a look!"

Gao Junshan took the piece of paper handed over by Li Xin, took a look, and it turned out to be a limerick poem:

it,

Wear,

opened the door to welcome the King of Qin.

When the king of Qin came, he didn't pay for food!

"You wrote it?" Gao Junshan asked.

"Yes."

Gao Junshan affirmed: "It's well written, that is, when the King of Qin came, he didn't pay for food and had to change it." ”

Li Xin insisted: "The most important thing is the last sentence, only by not paying grain can we attract more people's support." ”

Gao Junshan looked into Li Xin's eyes and asked, "If you don't pay for food, what will my army eat?" ”

"This ——?" Li Xin was speechless.

Gao Junshan said earnestly: "We should seek truth from facts when we do propaganda to the people, you say that it is okay not to pay grain for a year, and you can say that you can not pay grain for three years, but it is not right for you to say that 'the king of Qin does not pay grain when he comes', and when we start to pay grain in the future, won't the people also come against us?" ”

Li Xin was silent.

Gao Junshan returned the piece of paper to Li Xin: "You think about it carefully, revise it again and show it to me." ”

Li Xin took the piece of paper and said, "I must revise it according to King Qin's wishes." ”

"You don't have to be busy revising first, after you get to Xiangyang, you go to my Chongwen disciples, there are many masters in this area, you can discuss with them." When Gao Junshan said this, he stood up and waved his hand, "Hurry up and get on the road!" Otherwise, we will be left last. ”

……

Back in Xiangyang, Gao Junshan immediately planned to recruit Liu Guoneng.

Liu Guoneng, nicknamed Breaking into the Sky, ranked in the top six among the thirteen families, and can be regarded as a character, but it is a pity that he surrendered to the Ming Court. Liu Guoneng had an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people, and after Gao Junshan's men and horses left Gucheng, they entered Gucheng, and Cao Wenzhao's 20,000 horses monitored their movements near Gucheng.

Gao Junshan first called Feng Shuangli and Tian Fang to ask about Liu Guoneng's recent developments.

Tian Fangyu reported: "After Liu Guoneng entered Gucheng, he wantonly slandered our army in the city, in a vain attempt to incite the people's hatred of our army. ”

Feng Shuangli said: "The result is counterproductive. Liu Guoneng stationed his 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the city, and most of his men were used to robbing, and after entering the city, they still did all kinds of evil, and the city was full of chickens and dogs, and the people were panicked, and not many people believed his lies. ”

Tian Fang added: "Although Liu Guoneng has 50,000 or 60,000 heavy troops, he is still very afraid of our army, and his shrinkage of troops in the city is a good explanation. In addition, he was building the city walls, and I heard that he was planning to dig a trench to defend the city against the siege of our army. ”

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "It seems that he is really afraid of us, you send more people to the city, just say that we are going to fight the grain city, let Liu Guoneng tremble!" ”

……

In Xiangyang Mansion, the conference hall.

There are Bai Lisha, Liu Hongru, Tian Wenju, Xu Yixian, and Li Xin's five ministers; There are also nine military generals, Cai Zhishan, Bai Wenxuan, Red Army Friend, Li Busi, Ma Jinzhong, Hui Dengxiang, Ma Yuanli, Zhang Hualong, and Wang Shangli.

Gao Junshan sat on the Taishi chair, looked around and said: "At present, our biggest enemy is Liu Guoneng, although he is not terrible, but he is very hateful, he snatched it when we just left Gucheng, this is one, and second, he acted as a thug of the Ming court, originally my thirteen brothers, and now he is working for the court, it is really hateful, and he should be punished!" ”

Tian Wenju said: "He is now sticking to Gucheng and not showing up, it is not easy to break the city." ”

Gao Junshan smiled and said, "What did I do to break the city?" I will let him obediently go out of the city to fight me. ”

Cai Zhishan asked, "What is the strategy of King Qin?" ”

"Didn't he come out of the city?" Gao Junshan stood up, making Wenwu more focused on listening to his analysis, "We will occupy the transportation arteries outside the city, regain control of the water and land docks, and collect taxes on passing merchants. I think he Liu Guoneng can still sit still? Even if he didn't show his black **, the court would not let him shrink in Gucheng. ”

Bailisha said: "Li Zicheng and they have already hit Yun County, and they can contact them to attack Liu Guoneng at both ends." ”

Gao Junshan agreed: "Liu Guoneng is the public enemy of the righteous army, please ask Gongren to go to Yunxian." ”

"Wenju Zun Order!" Tian Wenju got up and was ordered.

Gao Junshan also ordered Ma Jinzhong and Hui Dengxiang to lead the martial arts training battalion to the outskirts of Gucheng to resume their old business - collecting tolls;

Bai Wenxuan, Red Army Friends, Li Busi, Ma Yuanli, Zhang Hualong, and Wang Shangli led their troops to advance to Gucheng; He Renlong was also ordered to send troops from Fang County to cooperate with the action.

After the entire military operation was arranged, the specific details of the operation were handed over to Cai Zhishan, who was sitting in Xiangyang, to command, and Gao Junshan returned to Xiangwang's Mansion and was busy planning the infrastructure construction of Xiangyang.

Pingliang is really different from Xiangyang, which has a large population, abundant products and developed waterway transportation. Although the number of Gao Junshan's army is the same as the number at the peak of Pingliang, the current army is completely under his own control, and in Pingliang, he still has to obey Gao Yingxiang's orders.

In particular, the growth of Chongwen's disciples has greatly enriched Gao Junshan's strength, although he only has an army of more than 100,000 in his hands, he is already very confident that he can compete with the Ming court, and Li Zicheng himself shares most of the military pressure.

Because of the strong military strength, so he did not hesitate to behead the little prince of Xiangyang, the king of Xiangyang was killed by Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Junshan took this little prince to open the knife, this little prince is more evil than his father, in Xiangyang that is a tyrant, when Zhang Xianzhong occupied Xiangyang, this little prince hid in the capital, escaped a catastrophe, Zhang Xianzhong retired and he returned to Xiangyang to be the king of Xiangyang, and continued to oppress the people.

Killing the king of Xiaoxiangyang showed his determination to fight resolutely with the Ming court, and sounded the horn of Fa Ming in a clear manner.

In fact, the happiest people were the local people who killed the king of Xiaoxiangyang, who suffered a lot from this man-eating demon, and now they were killed by Gao Junshan, which was a very happy thing.

The number of vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty was huge, but most of them were people who were slaughtered by others, and if they were counted out in 1510, it would definitely be a big and astonishing number.

Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang's dozen sons who were feudal kings, the number of vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty doubled every 30 years. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, during the Chongzhen period, the number of civil vassal kings was full of millions.

The policy of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty was that when they reached a certain age, they must go to the fief to become a vassal, and they were not allowed to leave the fief for half a step unless they were edicted, and the violator would be punished as a crime of treason. And the emperor did not allow them to engage in any profession, and gave them money and food every year, which was equivalent to raising them without saying anything and not letting them do anything.

These people expropriated and oppressed the people in their fiefdoms, and the people were extremely angry, and the king of Xiangyang was no exception.

Therefore, Gao Junshan's killing of the king of Xiaoxiangyang has captured the hearts of many people.

Stepping into the Xiangwang Mansion, Gao Junshan began to plan the military industry, and in order to make the military industry to a higher level, it must be supported by certain basic industries.

At present, he is planning in his mind a mine, a shipyard, an iron factory, a weaving factory, a fertilizer factory, and of course, the most important thing is the military factory.
