Chapter 254: Sweeping Xiangyang in the north and collecting Chenheng in the south

He Tengjiao brought the main force to Yuezhou, Changsha City was extremely empty, only the general Long Jianming led two thousand old and weak guards, Wang Yan's soldiers and horses arrived, and blocked Yinxi in the name of the governor of Hunan, so that he opened the city gate.

Wang Yan's more than 50,000 men and horses immediately swarmed into the city.

After the fall of Wuchang, Changsha became the center of Huguang, and the money and grain of each province had to be transferred to Changsha City for storage.

As soon as Wang Yan entered Changsha, he first rescued Wu Jinxi and Yan Qiheng, and found the 400,000 quintals of grain and grass that were seized by He Tengjiao.

After the army entered the city, the grain depot and treasury in Changsha City were also garrisoned by Wang Yan, and the grain, grass and taxes that He Tengjiao had looted in the past year fell under Wang Yan's control.

Now that the Qing soldiers have returned to Wuchang, and Yuezhou has 100,000 horses, Wang Yan does not have to worry about Luck Dehun and attack again.

In the past few months, the Qing army has been fighting one after another, and more than 60,000 people have been killed in the Qing army, including more than 30,000 soldiers of the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han ethnic groups and eight banners, and the green battalion has also been killed more than 30,000.

Wang Yan came to Changsha, the army finally stabilized, so the previous military exploits must be rewarded, he had already written a note to report to Fujing, but with the financial situation of the Longwu court, in addition to being able to seal some officials, it is certain that half of the copper plate can not be taken out.

The combat strength of the army lies in the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, so if the court can't give him a silver salary, then he must raise it himself.

Originally, Wang Yan was worried that the 600,000 taels of silver in his hand would not be enough for the reward, but the 800,000 taels of silver in the Changsha treasury made him not have to worry about the silver money for the time being.

Wang Yanding's reward, ten taels for the head of the Eight Banners, five taels for the head of the Green Battalion, plus the head bonus of the officers, 60,000 yuan, 500,000 taels were spent at once, plus the military salaries of the first meritorious department, the Manda Zhuang department, and the Houyong battalion, and immediately spent another 100,000 taels.

Wang Yan did not use the silver money in his hand this time, but spent the silver in the Changsha treasury, and his army fought in Huguang, and the salary should be borne by the Huguang locality.

Du Yinxi complained about this, thinking that Wang Yan's reward was too generous, but Wang Yan insisted on paying the silver salary as promised.

On the school ground, more than 50,000 people were neatly arranged, and in front of them, there stood Wang Yan and other officials, as well as nearly 100 scribes holding merit books, and next to them, boxes of open silver.

"Pay~" Wang Yan looked at the army, shouted, and then waved his hand, and the boxes of silver were carried to the scribe's side.

"I pay for my salary, and the people are fat and the people are anointed."

"Get this silver today, protect the Son of Heaven, and settle the people."

Tens of thousands of horses heard Wang Yan's words, and immediately shouted in unison, and then lined up in hundreds of columns to accept the reward, and after each soldier received the silver from the scribe's hand, he must have shouted: "Grandpa Xie Guo's salary~"

The 50,000 soldiers who followed Wang Yan to Changsha were paid the silver salary, and the soldiers stationed in Jingzhou and Xinqiang were transported by Li Suiqiu to the staff and then distributed it.

In Changsha City, when Wang Yan used the silver money he Tengjiao scavenged to reward the army, He Tengjiao, who was located in Yuezhou City, was already so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

Wang Yan went south to Changsha, so that his previous plan was all in vain, and it was even more miserable than Zhou Yu, who lost his wife and broke his army, he was originally the governor of Huguang, and he was the feudal commander who controlled the Chu land, but now he was blocked in the land of Yuezhou, like a small prefect in the city, and what was even more terrifying was that he had to face the threat of the Qing army in Wuchang, and he was really ashamed and angry in his heart.

At this time, He Tengjiao had no choice, he wanted to suppress Wang Yan, but he was suppressed by Wang Yan, and he wanted to lead his troops back to Changsha several times, but he was blocked by Man Dazhuang and Li Guo in the territory of Xinqiang River.

The land of Yuezhou could not raise 100,000 soldiers, it turned out that Wang Yan was looking for him to negotiate, but now it has become He Tengjiao who wrote down the folds and joined Wang Yan fiercely, and sent Fu Shangrui south to Changsha to seek reconciliation with Wang Yan.

In Changsha Mansion, Wang Yan has lived in Changsha for some time, and how he should act in the future, how to manage the land, and how to recover the lost land, all need to have a plan and a big strategy.

At the city gate, a group of cavalry escorted a middle-aged man in a scarf and a road uniform, quickly passed through the city gate, and then rushed into the palace.

Wang Yan got the report and was waiting outside the mansion for a long time, and when he saw the cavalry, he immediately helped the middle-aged man hold the reins, and said respectfully: "Brother has worked hard all the way. ”

"As a prince of the country, Shiheng should be majestic!" The middle-aged man was Wang Fuzhi, who was invited by Wang Yan from Jingzhou to Changsha to help him counsel in political affairs.

"In front of my brother, how dare Yan hold it up." Wang Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to invite Wang Fuzhi into the house.

Seeing this, Wang Fuzhi had to shake his head and follow him into the mansion.

In the study, the candle flame flickered, and Wang Yan didn't have much business in the place, so there were many things to ask Wang Fuzhi for advice.

From the perspective of people's livelihood, taxation, and commerce, the two unconsciously talked about the general trend of the world, and the way of Wang Fu: "The affairs of the world should be judged on their importance and size." When the Seven Kingdoms were stronger, they were stronger than Qin, and Su Jizi joined the Six Kingdoms to reject them, and those who were at peace were fifteen years; Later Qin attacked Han and Wei day and night and Qi did not save them, and Han and Wei died and Qi and Chu followed. Today's downward trend, seven or eight out of ten to the Qing court, its momentum is as heavy as Mount Tai, better than the Qin in the past. However, within my Han family, the factions are complicated, the weakness of the Lu domain in eastern Zhejiang is better than that of Han and Wei, and although Shiheng won in Huguang, the overall situation has not changed. Now the Lu domain is folded in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Fujian is also in danger. Regret the trend of the world, Jin destroyed Shu Han and Wu died, the eight kings harmed themselves and Liu Shiqiang, Yuan destroyed Jin and Song died quickly; The trend of ancient and modern times can be seen. ”

Wang Yan couldn't help but show a trace of melancholy on his face when he heard this: "The situation has come to this, can my brother have a way to turn things around, can he teach Yan?" ”

Wang Fuzhi pondered for a moment and said: "Fang is under today, the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupies seven or eight monopolies, but it is a foreign race in China, and a small clan is a big clan, and the foundation is not solid. Shiheng now crosses the state and county, sits on the land of Jingchu and Guangnan, and has hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, which is enough to support the southwest. Today, the main force of the Qing army is in the south of the Yangtze River, the land of Jing Chu, the north according to the Han Dynasty, the South China Sea, Shiheng when the north sweeps Xiangyang, the south collects Chen, Heng, so that Chu and Guangdong are connected, and then the west is united with Zhang Xianzhong, the east is connected with Fujian and Jiangxi, so that Xianzhong is in the attack, and Shiheng goes to Wuchang, hunts Jinling, and is full of momentum, can be successful! ”

After listening to this, Wang Yan nodded and said, "Good!" ”

The next day, Wang Yan consulted with Gu Yinxi, passed a letter to the provinces of Hunan, ordered the governors of all prefectures and counties, came to Changsha to obey orders, and then ordered Gao Yigong to go north to Jingzhou, led the loyal army to the land of Xiangyang, and ordered Hou Yong to camp, go south to Chen and Heng, so that the place was attached.
