Chapter 1048: Two Battlefields
Even his son is not his, Tang Yi really doesn't know what Longqing will be like at this time, although there are still a lot of affairs in the southeast, he can't take care of it, he wants to go back to Beijing, he wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible!
The more calm and rational people are like icebergs, they are in a hurry, that is called the real carelessness, Tang Yi immediately asked people to prepare a fast horse, called Zhang Shouzhi over overnight, drove the ducks on the shelves, and asked him to continue to deal with the affairs of the southeast, and set off the next day.

Mao Kun and Wang Yin are angry and anxious, what a good opportunity, God will not take it, and there will be no such opportunity in the future.
"I really don't understand, what do we adults think, could it be that the ideals he talked about with us are all fake?"
Mao Kun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Not necessarily, the old man is still a little moved when he talks about it." ā
"Impressed? Brother Lumen, your brain is also broken? Wang Yin screamed, touching the wound on his face, and his facial features were distorted in pain.
Mao Kun took a pack of medicine casually, "Go back and take a rest, hurry up and wipe it on." ā
Wang Yin took the medicine, pondered for a long time, and laughed at himself, "My lord has been in the country for five years, why is his heart softer than before?" It's inexplicable! ā
"Brother Shiyue, the position of the adult is getting higher and higher, and the power is getting bigger and bigger, but he doesn't treat all beings like grass mustard, there is still a trace of softness in his heart, in fact, it is a blessing for you and me." Mao Kun sighed.
"Alas, I'm also afraid that adults will become people who don't recognize their six relatives, but such a good opportunity?" Wang Yin looked embarrassed, shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, I got such a hand, and the adults are not sure what to do with it, so I will leave." ā
Wang Yin stumbled, arrived at his house, and fell asleep.
The next day, Tang Yi wanted to return to Beijing, but it did not work, a war report from Guangxi was placed in front of Tang Yi, when the Jin Party collapsed, Tang Yi once sent Wang Chonggu as the governor of Liangguang, commanding the army, to deal with Wei Yinbao.
With a full sense of indignation and loss, Wang Chonggu left the capital and went to Guangxi to fight. Speaking of which, Wang Chonggu is also a general, with rich combat experience, he didn't take Wei Yinbao as a thief very seriously, and the encirclement and suppression in the past were all because of the improper use of people by the imperial court, coupled with the lack of food and salary, so that Wei Yinbao took advantage of the loophole.
Now that the imperial court's annual income has increased, the financial resources are sufficient, warehouses have been established in all sides, and there is sufficient grain stock, Wang Chonggu feels that as long as he does not make mistakes, Wei Yinbao will definitely be a dead end.
After he arrived in Guangxi, while rectifying the people and horses, and on the other hand, he scattered silver, and Huang Chaomeng, a cadre under Wei Yinbao, was bribed and was willing to serve the imperial court.
Wang Chonggu was overjoyed, Huang Chaomeng had more than 3,000 horses, and he was familiar with the terrain and understood the customs around Gutian.
In order to increase the chances of victory, Wang Chonggu bought more than a dozen surrounding leaders and promised a lot of benefits, and then concentrated his army, pounced on Gutian, and besieged Wei Yinbao's lair.
As a result, as soon as the army moved, Wang Chonggu ran into trouble.
The local mountains in Guangxi overlap, the roads are difficult, and the surrounding trees stretch out, and there are countless insects and snakes. Moreover, most of his subordinates came from the north, and after entering the forest, it was humid and stuffy, and they did not pay attention to hygiene, many of them had rotten crotch crotch, skin and clothes stuck together, and the pain was unbearable, and they could not walk.
There are also people who are not accustomed to the water and soil, run away from diarrhea, and have seriously lost their troops before the war.
And most of the local natives hide in the woods, they are good at arranging traps, using blow arrows, a small bamboo pipe, thin needles, stabbing people's bodies, just like mosquito bites, but 100,000 mountains, the most important thing is poison. The mountains are full of snakes and centipedes, and the natives are more fond of extracting poisonous juice from the trees, and sealing their throats with blood, although not as fast as the legend, but in a quarter of an hour, at most half an hour, can kill a life.
The doctors in the army were not familiar with poison at all, and could only watch the soldiers die in agony. Another person was poisoned, and in order to avoid the pain, he was shot by his companions.
Soldiers are not afraid of death, but death is not worth it at all, and no one can stand it.
Wang Chonggu saw that his subordinates were demoralized and the army had no fighting spirit, and he was also anxious.
Anyway, there are still Huang Chaomeng, and there are so many people, as long as these people can fight back, the chances of winning are still very good.
Wang Chonggu was desperate and asked his subordinates to advance quickly, and when they reached the outside of Gutian County, the soldiers were exhausted and their combat strength was sharply reduced.
Fortunately, he got a letter from Huang Chaomeng, and was willing to cooperate with Wang Shi, and he should cooperate with the outside to take Gutian, Wang Chonggu was overjoyed, supervised the army to attack the city, and killed it until night, and at night, sure enough, the city gate was secretly opened, and Wang Chonggu did not doubt that he had him, and sent three thousand elites into the city.
As soon as the men and horses entered, they were besieged, not only that, but there were also enemy soldiers on the back road, flanking on both sides, storming Wang Chonggu's subordinates, making Wang Chonggu defeated, losing tens of thousands of horses, what could not be gained a foothold in Guangxi, so he had to retreat into the territory of Huguang, leading the remnants of the defeated generals, holding on to help, and asking the court for help.
"Wang Chonggu has led the troops all his life, but I am afraid that this defeat will expose the old bottom, it turns out that he is also a straw bag!" Yin Zhengmao, the right attendant of the military department who stayed in Nanjing, mocked without hesitation.
This guy originally relied on Tang Yi's support to get along in the nine sides.
But Yin Zhengmao had a problem, that is, he was greedy, so he let Yushi seize the handle, went up one by one, and almost went to prison, thanks to Tang Ruji's help, he was transferred to Nanjing.
Greedy is greedy, but Yin Zhengmao is indeed very talented.
"Whether it is Yang Bo or Wang Chonggu, for decades, the imperial court has said that they know the soldiers, in fact, if you want me to say, it is about the same as knowing the money, which time have they defeated me? It's not that he relied on spending money, trading and trade, buying peace, and then going to the court to ask for merit when he turned around. The court is also blind, just staring at the bit of silver I am greedy for, but I don't know, the huge greed in the court is really terrible......" Yin Zhengmao said happily, but when he looked up, he saw that Tang Yi's face was not good-looking, and he couldn't wait to give his two mouths, didn't you scold the monk in front of the bald man?
"Lord Yuanfu, the lower officials don't mean anything else, please forgive Yuanfu."
"Okay, this official is not a person with a small belly, tell me, if I give you soldiers and horses, let you deal with Wei Yinbao, what is the best way?"
Yin Zhengmao thought for a while and shook his head, "Yuanfu, the Wei Yinbao Rebellion has been around since the Hongzhi Zhengde period, and it has been fought for decades, and the enmity between the two sides is as deep as the sea. Wang Chonggu just made a mistake, he used the same set of dealing with the Mongolian princes in Guangxi, thinking that he could buy off the opponent by spending a little silver, but he didn't know that Huang Chaomeng's whole family died in the hands of the imperial court, and it was a blood feud that could not be solved for a long time, and it was impossible for him to surrender. If you let the humble post go to Guangxi, there is no good way, only a stupid way, mobilize more than 100,000 troops, surround the past from all directions, burn the mountains along the way, cut down the trees when they encounter them, kill them all if they don't surrender when they encounter the villages, and push them all the way to level Wei Yinbao. ā
It looks like he's going to bleed, Tang Yi is not a bad person, and when it's time to kill, he won't be soft.
"Estimate how much time it will take, how much money it will take."
"It will take a year and a half, and as for the silver, it will cost at least two million yuan."
Tang Yi chuckled, "How many of you are in this?" ā
"I, how dare I ask for silver!" Yin Zhengmao was obviously a little weak-hearted.
Tang Yi said: "Lord Yin, I advise you, a gentleman loves money, take it in a good way, you can fight again, always think about greedy for money, I can't protect you." ā
Yin Zhengmao was embarrassed and lowered his head.
"I know, you are greedy for money, not really love money, but worry about being envied, jealous and hated, right?"
Yin Zhengmao's face flushed, "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the adults who know me!" ā
"Okay, don't say sour words, Yang Ming Gong has learned from the past, the imperial court is indeed strict against the civil officials who will be represented, and it is understandable that you are greedy for money and protect yourself. But ......" Tang Yi suddenly became serious, "You listen to me, right now it is this Cabinet Handle Country, and I will not destroy the Great Wall because of some malicious slander." But again, I won't allow my men to drink the blood of soldiers and take money that they shouldn't have! ā
Yin Zhengmao's body was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down, "Thank you Yuan Fu for mentioning something, I can't thank you for my humble duties." ā
"Don't knock it, this time to quell the Wei Yinleopard Rebellion, I will hand it over to you, and don't give me a penny of military salary. After pacifying the southwest, the imperial court will implement the reform of the land and return to the stream. Abolish the Tusi, change the officials, the economy of the southwest will have great development, nothing else, Dongchuan's tung oil, pig bristles, Yunnan's tea, this pavilion will leave a copy for your Yin family. ā
My elder Ge, you are so interesting!
Yin Zhengmao jumped up from the ground, with his hands open, he really wanted to give Tang Yi a big hug.
Tung oil, pig bristles, but good things, can be used for navigation, firearms can be used, as for Yunnan's Pu'er tea, it is even more famous.
You don't have to take it all, as long as you get a piece of the pie, let alone hundreds of thousands of profits every year, do you still need to be greedy!
"Lord Yin, remember, silver is not easy to take, you have to have real skills, within half a year, I want to see Wei Yinbao's head!" Tang Yi's money is not easy to take.
Yin Zhengmao grinned, the difficulty is really not small, but for the sake of the silver, he took it!
"If you can't take Wei Yinbao's head, you can take my head!"
ā¦ā¦
Let Yin Zhengmao deal with Wei Yinbao, there should be no problem, Tang Yi is still ready to return to Beijing, he is always thinking about the changes in Beijing. How do you know that Wei Yinbao was just sent away, and news was sent from Luzon.
The Spanish fleet was gathering in Malacca, and it looked like it was about to attack Luzon.
In addition, according to intelligence, the Spaniards also extended their hands to Annam, and the Ruan family of the Later Li Dynasty bought a lot of firearms from Spain and stormed the Mo Dynasty that had retreated to the north, seeing that the Mo Dynasty was about to be completely defeated and collapsed.
Compared with Wei Yinbao, the news from Spain made Tang Yi more worried. Luzon was the first step in overseas expansion, and once Luzon was lost, the losses were immeasurable.
As for the collusion between Spain and Annan, if the Later Li Dynasty unifies Annam, it will inevitably threaten the security of Guangxi, and when the time comes, there will be Spanish Annan outside and Wei Yinbao rebels inside.
Damn, aren't you just going back to Beijing, why is it so difficult? (To be continued.) )
