Chapter 961: The Railroad Is Opened

The Wa Kingdom used to be very conceited, at least they defeated hundreds of thousands of people in Goryeo, and also blocked the Khitan cavalry...... Internally, some people even claimed that the Wa Kingdom was the third most powerful country in the world, only after the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan, and they were even ambitious to surpass these two and be the first.

But this battle has completely taught the Wa Kingdom a lesson, your so-called third, or the first, has no value at all, because no matter how much you rank, it is garbage in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty!

This is the conceit of Da Song!

With strong production capacity, sharp firearms, high-quality soldiers, and good training, from all angles, the Great Song Dynasty will be overwhelming.

The guns continued to sound and the cannons rumbled, Wang Xueqi commanded the brothers of the artillery battalion to get ten heavy naval guns to the wall of Ping'an Capital, and it took two hours just to adjust the gun positions, and it was not until the afternoon that they could participate in the battle.

A group of naval gunners were so anxious that they were sweating all over their heads, and it was itchy just to watch others fight!

Finally, here's your chance!

"Fire!"

Unlike the army gadgets, the naval guns are definitely grandfather's, one by one watermelon-sized solid projectiles, bombarded the city, most of the shells missed, but a few still hit.

One of them directly blasted a gap in the city wall more than a foot long, and another passed through the crowd of Japanese robbers, like a ploughed field, and a terrible alley appeared. Many people were gone, and there were a lot of stumps and broken legs on the ground, which was extremely miserable.

There were also shells that fell into the city and smashed the houses directly, and all the pirates were scared stupid, where can this be done by manpower!

Could it be that the legendary gods and demons punished Wajima?

Many widows simply knelt on the ground, kept begging, kowtowing, like lost dogs.

In the midst of the panic, the second round of shelling was ready.

Rumble!

This time it was obviously much more accurate, and about half of the cannonballs fell on the city wall, and for a time ash and masonry flew all over the sky, and most sections of the city wall collapsed.

The battle under the city also entered the counteroffensive phase, and the forbidden army lined up in a row of battle formations, constantly moving forward, and when the pirates entered the firing range, they immediately opened fire, and then retreated to the back to reload, and the brothers in the next row continued to shoot.

The whole battle, really like a drill, only to see the Japanese fall in pieces, they fled backwards in panic, because there were too many people, too dense...... They trampled on each other, and many people fell down, and they never got up.

"Hahaha, my Great Song Shenwei is like this, just ask the world, who can resist it!"

Wang Xueqi looked very excited, dancing with his hands, urging quickly, and continued to bombard. It's a dogtooth, and he shows maturity that doesn't match his age.

He remembered that his father had said that don't indulge in strength, no matter how advanced the weapon is, how powerful the equipment, in short, there will be weaknesses.

Not to mention, Gouya'er also discovered Da Song's weakness.

That is, it is too dependent on logistics, and the cost of fighting a war is too high!

Heiankyo is close to the sea, and it can be calmly dispatched, if it goes deep inland, how to transport the cannon over, and how much does it cost? And even if it is convenient to transport, once you go to war, all kinds of firearms are consumed, and there are casualties, after you go back, you have to pay a pension, which is a lot of expenses.

Why did he betray his treachery and detain the Japanese chieftains, it was to provoke the Japanese kingdom and make them make up their minds to fight a decisive battle.

Fighting against the enemy, the Great Song Dynasty is not afraid of anyone, but if it becomes a guerrilla warfare, it will never be able to find the main force of the other party, and it will not stop on other people's turf, tossing back and forth, as strong as the Great Song Dynasty, it will be unbearable!

At the beginning, Wang Ning's plan was also to capture Heianjing, capture the king of the Wa, and detonate their civil strife after the dragons of the Wa kingdom were leaderless, and the Great Song Dynasty fished in troubled waters.

According to his own observations, Gouya'er modified Daddy's strategy.

The local power of the Wa Kingdom swelled, the pattern of princes, and the combination of big families, which had a bit of a taste of feudal town separation...... In the eyes of the Japanese people, the king of the Japanese is certainly a noble god, but in the hands of the real rulers, it seems a little embarrassing, catch one, and then support a puppet again, maybe they will thank the Great Song Dynasty for help!

In order to provoke the Japanese kingdom, they fought a decisive battle with their main force.

Gouya'er deliberately used dishonorable means to detain the king of Wa, and did not attack Heianjing, creating an illusion that the Great Song Dynasty was not so powerful, and he could defeat them with hard work!

……

In the past six months or so, Gouyaer has integrated the skills he learned from everyone, including his father, uncle, Di Qing, Wang Shao, and even Jia Changchao, Wen Yanbo, etc...... This kid may be lacking in the ability to fight a war now, but all kinds of conspiracies, how to show weakness, how to lure the enemy, how to arrange spies, how to spy on intelligence, how to set up suspicious formations...... He knows it all!

Let the Wa Kingdom become a springboard for your young master Wang to conquer the family!

The dog's teeth can't hide the pride of the young man!

At this time, the artillery bombarded again, and the dilapidated Heianjing could no longer stop the heroic soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the high-level of the Japanese state in the city also fell into extreme panic, and they could not win the battle, so they could only surrender!

In the end, the ministers of the Japanese state led by Fujiwara Yoritsu chose to surrender, but there were still some local princes who were unwilling, and they returned to the territory with the remnants of the defeated generals, and wanted to fight back.

Moreover, they also took away the elder brother of the Wa King, and named him Zunren, announcing that he would inherit the position of the Wa King!

The guy that Gouya'er caught is called Qinren, that is, the Hou Lengquan Wa King in the history of the Wa Kingdom, and the Zunren who was taken away is the Hou Sanjo Wa King.

In the history of the Wa Kingdom, this "Sanjo" is still quite capable, that is, he set out to suppress the power of the Fujiwara clan, and advocated frugality, governing the country in a proper way, and once gave the Wa State a prosperous appearance......

It's just that the arrival of the Great Song Dynasty broke the historical process of the Wa Kingdom.

"Zunren has not been approved by the Great Song Dynasty, he has proclaimed himself the king of the Japanese, and he is heinous, and the heavenly soldiers will not let him go!" Dogtooth leaned on the thick blanket, there were more than a dozen widows around him, and from time to time sent grapes to his mouth, if this is the young master of which family, running to the Qinglou and Huajiu, some people will definitely believe it...... If he said that he could decide the fate of the Wa Kingdom, not many people believed it, but this is the case!

Fujiwara Yoritsu honestly lay on the ground, just as obedient as a kitten.

His virtue really makes the dog tooth despised, when he just fought, you lived and died, tens of thousands of people were killed, how much hatred...... But these Japanese people actually don't hold grudges, or rather, their worship and fear of the strong have far exceeded hatred!

Humble, cowardly, crouching, worse than a leper dog!

"I can let that Qinren go, you go and arrange it, let him be reinstated, and then immediately organize people to crusade against Buchen...... Da Song will help you! ”

After saying that, Dogtooth stood up and tapped Fujiwara Yoritsu's shoulder with his toes!

"Why, don't do it yet!"

Fujiwara Yoritsu trembled, hurriedly got up, bent his waist deeper, his head was almost touching the surface of his feet, it was really difficult for him, at such an age, his waist was not bad!

Gouya'er didn't notice that the few widows behind her all showed fiery eyes, just like seeing Tang monk's meat...... Young, tall, handsome, domineering, and powerful...... It was just perfect!

These widows kept looking forward to what a good thing it would be if they could get the favor of this general...... It's just that the general of Shangguo seemed very puzzled, and after pretending to be garlic, he lazily waved his hand and drove them away like flies.

Gouya'er locked himself in the study, and his father said that Da Song is like the number one master of martial arts, and the appearance fee is very high, and he must not easily help any Japanese people fight...... Therefore, Gouyaer just sent an advisory group and got some obsolete weapons for Fujiwara Yoritsu.

And these things were exchanged for more than 10,000 slaves...... And since then, the whole slave trade, like a flood that has opened the floodgates, can no longer be stopped.

Every time there is a war, there are Japanese prisoners and displaced people fleeing in all directions...... Therefore, starting from the spring of the fourth year of Zhiping, almost every ten days, there would be ships full of slaves to the Great Song Dynasty...... Wealthy merchants from all over the country gathered to buy slaves on a large scale.

What's even more surprising is that the price of a widow is more than three times that of a slave, and the price of a woman of the right age can reach ten times!

In this situation, of course, Wang Ningan is also to blame...... In other words, women got the equality of economic rights for the first time, and then there was a strong backlash. Become a plaything to please men...... The abolition of the Qinglou must be put on the agenda, although the male compatriots of Guangda, including the officials of the court and the central government, are disappointed, but there is no way but to watch the girls give up heavy makeup and return home, or go incognito, husband and child.

There is no way, these people can only look outside, the singers of the Western Regions, the handmaidens of Goryeo, and the widows are all the objects of their ideas.

Fortunately, the imperial court didn't even ban these, otherwise it would really be fatal!

In short, in the past few months, more than 200,000 people have been trafficked from the country, and the largest of them has reached 50,000!

Now Gouya is among the wealthy merchants, which is very famous.

Who doesn't know that the prince is a hero, and in a few months, he has actually gotten more slaves than in the past few years! It's really better than blue, I'm afraid even the prince doesn't have this ability!

For Gouyaer's proud achievements, the happiest person is Lu Huiqing, he did not follow his master to the southeast to kill and slash, but spent all his energy on building roads.

For more than two years, Lu Huiqing has almost changed as a person, he is already short and tanned, and he is really the same as an ordinary man.

Hard, tired, and sleepless, Lu Huiqing is almost ten years old, and she has entered the ranks of middle-aged and elderly people ahead of schedule...... But it's all worth it!

Because today, the good news finally came, from Youzhou to Qizhou, the railway was opened!

At this moment, Lu Huiqing burst into tears......
