Section 1276 Poor King Yan
Although it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, Li Guang knows that she cannot stop fighting the invaders just because she has no food. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Defending Sangzi is the duty and mission of the soldiers in the border area.
He frowned slightly, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll think of a way to deal with the food......"
"Big deal, I'm going to bring the grain from King Yan's palace......"
A king's palace, there must be food in stock!
Especially since the king of Yan, there has been no major construction, and this savings must be there.
When Li Guang was in Suiyang, he saw King Liang holding his own inner treasury army!
In his mind, a relative of the Han family like King Liang can take out his own private money, and it makes no sense that King Yan can't take it out!
Moreover, King Yan didn't dare not take it out.
After all, the survival of Yuyang is related to the safety of the entire swallow thistle.
But when the others listened, they all looked at each other, bowed their heads, and said nothing.
Li Guang saw it strangely and asked, "Did I say something wrong?" ”
Yang Shi sighed and said, "The general doesn't know, if King Kang is still there, the general's actions at this time are probably okay, but now King Yan ...... Ahem......"
Everyone else also nodded and said, "Yes, if King Kang is here, we probably don't need to worry about food......
King Jing and King Kang, these two generations of Yan kings, in this secluded Yan land, although there are not many benevolent governments, they are still quite sympathetic to the military and the people.
Especially during the reign of King Jing, the Yuyang, Shanggu, and Youbeiping Border Fortresses often received the support of King Yan.
It may be less, but it can more or less make up for it.
As for the reign of King Kang, although King Kang preferred to associate with literati, took money, and raised a bunch of scribes.
However, in the end, they did not dare to short-side the supply of the garrison.
Not to mention that there is a response, generally speaking, if you have difficulties in the side plug, you can always solve some problems by going to King Yan.
But now the king ......
But it is very different from his father and grandfather!
When he was still a son, his behavior was often out of line, and when he became the king of Yan and was not restrained by his father, it was even worse.
It overhauled the palace room in Jicheng and built a garden.
He even embezzled part of the country's military spending on Biansai for his own enjoyment!
Eventually, the king's behavior angered the soldiers and civilians of the border area, and last year, thirteen captains and seven lieutenants from Yuyang and Youbeiping counties jointly wrote a letter to Yu Hou Luanbu, the patriarch of Chang'an Wuyuan, crying to the old boss and benefactor about the unreasonable affairs of King Yan.
After Yu Hou reported to the Imperial Historian's Yamen and the Prime Minister's Mansion, the matter was initially resolved.
King Yan pinched his nose and returned most of the state grants.
But there are still more than a million dollars, which have not been allocated until now......
Sometimes, the border people of Yandi even want to simply learn from the example of the people of Zhangqiu, make a big news, and simply kill this scumbag.
However, after all, thinking of the legacy of King Jing and King Kang, he couldn't bear King Yan's heir, King Jing and King Kang became lonely ghosts, and they couldn't get the incense and blood food of the temple, so they gave up.
Li Guang looked at the reactions of these people, and finally understood, it turned out that the Yan King was unreliable!
This made Li Guang feel a little unbelievable!
He didn't have many opportunities to deal with the princes and kings of the Han family, but he also dealt with so many people.
Liang King Liu Wu will not talk about it, this king has a very good impression on Li Guang.
can not put a king in front of him, and he is extremely generous.
It was Wu who rebelled against Liu Bi, although he rebelled, but he didn't say anything to the soldiers and the people.
So far, in the old land of Wu, there are still people quietly sacrificing and mourning the king......
Even the acting king, who seems to be obscure, has been staying in the Jinyang Palace, and rarely goes out, is not bad to the military and the people.
The palace of the king of the king, so far, is still the same twenty years ago, when Liu Wu, the king of Liang, moved the seal.
But why did King Yan and the Qilu kings of previous years become so unsuccessful?
Li Guang thought about it, and could only attribute it to the non-Taizong Miao descendants, and he couldn't sympathize with the people.
This is also a saying that has been circulated in the market after the fall of the four kings of Qilu, which is specifically about - why is the Liu family not a device? It's because he wasn't from Taizong and didn't get the education of the Holy King!
However, King Yan doesn't give anything, that's King Yan's own business.
Li Guangcai doesn't care so much!
He only knew that if he didn't have food, he would have no way to hold the vast defense line of the Yuyang Great Wall.
The Son of Heaven orders his future Yuyang, and he will be responsible for Yuyang and the Son of Heaven!
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to borrow food from King Yan...... Li Guang patted his chest and promised: "Don't dare to say more, 50,000 stone corn, this King Yan must give!" ”
If he doesn't give it, then Li Guang can lead his troops to take it forcibly!
In addition to being the county guard of Yuyang, he also has the errand of the lieutenant of Yan Kingdom.
The lieutenant went to the palace to get food, and it was rightly right!
If you don't give it, you will grab it!
What can King Yan endure him?
…………………………………………
However, Li Guang was still a step too slow......
Because Bo Shi had already taken the lead, he opened the gate of the palace of King Yan.
"This Yan King will really enjoy it......" Bo Shi looked at the warehouse full of gold and jade, and smashed his tongue.
I saw that the secret warehouse of this palace was full of boxes of gold and jade, pearls and strange stones, and even whale fat, cotton quilts and other luxury goods.
"Move them all......" Bo Shi said with a wave of his hand.
Now, with foreign enemies at the head, these gold and jade have to be turned into resources!
However, Bo Shi still saved some face for Liu Dingguo, the king of Yan.
He said to the left and right: "Count all the materials, make a table, and announce to the outside world that this is a reward given by King Yan in order to motivate the soldiers to kill the enemy!" ”
"No!" Answered loudly left and right.
As for whether this Yan King will come to trouble him in the future?
This thin world doesn't care!
Even if this lawsuit is fought in front of the Son of Heaven, he is justified!
Besides, today's King Yan still asks him for some wealth, which is natural.
Of course, the most important goal of Bo Shi's trip is the grain hidden in the warehouses all over the palace!
That's the key!
Although the building ship kept transporting grain from Qilu all the time, the cost and cost were very large.
Just to bring in the first batch of 100,000 stone of grain, three ships ran aground near the coastline to escape the storm and sank, and hundreds of sailors died in the waves of the sea.
In other words, every grain of grain brought by the building ship was bloody!
In order to allow Lou Chuan to retain some vitality, Bo Shi had no choice but to attack Liu Dingguo's private vault.
He is not afraid of future lawsuits, let alone careless!
He is a relative, and theoretically speaking, he is related to King Yan.
Borrowing something between relatives, that's a normal thing.
Besides, if you have the ability, Liu Dingguo will go to sue......
Look at Zongzheng and Taichang, do you dare to take it?
Look at whose side the Son of Heaven and the two Queen Mothers are on!
So boxes of gold were taken out of the palace warehouses and loaded onto horse-drawn carriages.
Pieces of jade and jewelry were placed on the table.
Horses of silk and cotton jackets were piled up on the ground.
Then, one after another, heavy wagons drove into the royal palace and loaded countless grains on the carts.
Liu Dingguo, the king of Yan who rushed to hear the news, saw this scene, his hands trembled with anger, and he almost foamed at the mouth.
"Governor! These are the property of widows! Liu Dingguo panted and ran to Bo Shi and said loudly: "How dare you take it without the permission of the widow?" ”
Bo Shi shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Didn't the king agree?" ”
Then he muttered to himself: "Xiaguan clearly remembers that the king agreed...... Xia Guan still remembered that the king gave Xia Guan an order, saying: Now that the king's affairs are in danger, the widow thinks about serving the Son of Heaven and the difficulties of the people's livelihood, and is willing to use the kingdom's gold, pearls, jade, and grain to fund the army......"
Bo Shi even took out an official document that had been stamped with the seal of King Yan, handed it to Liu Dingguo, and said, "Look, the official documents you gave to the ministers are still here......
Liu Dingguo's eyebrows stood up.
He had never seen such a high-flying courtier!
He held his finger and pointed at Bo Shi tremblingly, unable to speak for a long time.
Bo Shi ignored the other party's fierce eyes, and commanded left and right: "It seems that the king has not gone to the market to meet the people, soldiers and civilians today...... Hurry up and take the king to the market to meet the soldiers and civilians, inspire the soldiers, and fight bravely to kill the enemy! ”
"The surname is thin!" King Yan was set up by several school officials, and he said viciously to Bo Shi: "You wait for the widow, and the widow must write to impeach you!" ”
"You dare to insult the clan and disrespect the vassal king...... Your sin is great! ”
Bo Shi shrugged indifferently, and even showed a deliberately mocking smile.
"Governor ......" Zhang Weiyang, who was standing beside Bo Shi, whispered: "Are you really not afraid that King Yan will go to Chang'an to sue the emperor?" ”
This is also a concern for the rest of the Guardian Army.
After all, these days, what the Protector Army has done is too out of line.
Coercing a Han family clan can also be explained as a military emergency, acting cheaply.
But, as now, he blatantly ignored the authority of the princes and kings, and even openly robbed him of his wealth.
This will be poked out, and all the princes and kings of the whole world will probably be indignant, and then they will rise up and attack.
Even if Bo Shi is a relative, even if he is protected by the Empress Dowager Bo and the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand such an attack, right?
Bo Shi said with a smile: "Don't worry, King Yan won't be able to do anything......
He suddenly restrained his smile and said solemnly: "I have already sent a letter to Chang'an and reported the matter to Your Majesty...... This Yan Wang ...... Hum...... After this war, I'm afraid I'll have to change someone! ”
As for the hostility of the princes and kings?
Bo Shi really doesn't care!
If it had been six years ago, or even four years ago, Bo Shi might not have had the courage to do this!
However, today, Bo Shi believes that even Yizong or Zhidu, or even any Han army general, in his position, will definitely make the same choice.
The reason is very simple - the power of today's Han princes and kings is no longer an important force in the world!
At least, there is no way for them to compare with the mountain power of the army.
In the world now, the martial arts are in charge.
From the prime minister to the various key departments, all of them are controlled by the military or close to the military.
Princes and kings, you can't jump anymore!
......The officer in charge of counting the materials of the Yanwang Kingdom ran over and said with excitement on his face: "Our army has a total of more than 30,000 gold, dozens of boxes of jewelry and jade, thousands of silk cotton jackets, 150,000 stones of corn, and thousands of stones of wheat flour in the palace......
"The rest of the oil and salt are innumerable......"
When Bo Shi heard this, he also opened his mouth wide.
Yan Kingdom is not a rich country, but there is so much wealth in this palace!
This is an exaggeration!
It's amazing!
This Yan King Liu Dingguo, the ability to scrape the ground, I am afraid that he will not lose to the four kings of Qilu!
Bo Shi waved his hand and said: "Immediately organize people to send 3,000 stone wheat flour and 10,000 stone corn to Youbeiping and Yuyang ...... first."
Food is a strategic material that is more important than weapons.
The soldier had no weapons, but also fists and teeth.
But without food, I'm afraid I don't even have the strength to swing my fists!
And Bo Shi is the governor of Anton, and he knows very well the grain reserves in the Youbeiping and Yuyang areas - not to mention, the grain owed to them by the Andong Tun Reclamation Regiment has not been repaid until now.
And this number is at least more than 300,000 stones!
Thinking of this, Bo Shi ordered again: "Continue to send people to urge Pyongyang, the heavy-duty carriages I want must all arrive in Quanzhou within five days!" ”
"No!"
The heavy-duty carriage is an important invention of Moyuan, which is very popular in the Andong area and Guanzhong.
At the same time, it is also the main transport vehicle of the world's merchants.
The biggest change and innovation of this kind of carriage is that it has changed from the old two-wheeled carriage to a four-wheeled carriage.
This change made it possible for the carriage to pull four horses or more.
Moreover, the body can be lengthened and widened, and the number of loads is naturally more.
Some super-large military heavy-duty carriages can even transport thousands of catties of materials at a time.
The most revolutionary design of this carriage is that it can be steered flexibly because of the addition of a steering device.
This is a great advantage in transportation.
At least, it has more advantages than all the old land transports!
Before Bo Shi set off, he had already placed an order for 500 military heavy-duty carriages through Xinhua to the Shaofu Carriage and Horse Division set up in Pyongyang.
Now, after inspecting the transportation of the Yan Kingdom, Bo Shi knew that if he wanted to win this war, this kind of heavy-duty carriage could be the key.
Because it can transport not only supplies, but also fighters at some times.
The most important thing is that these military carriages are military because they can be used as a barrier for infantry in wartime.
During the Battle of Gaoque, the Han army's baggage troops, which were responsible for transporting grain and grass to Heyin, relied on this carriage many times to form a circular defensive formation to resist and thwart the many raids of the Hun cavalry!
When Bo Shi went to Chang'an to report on his work, he had studied and listened to the introduction of battle examples in these aspects many times in Wuyuan.
And Yandi is mountainous, which happens to be similar to the situation in the Battle of Heyin, maybe this kind of carriage can play a miraculous effect!
"By the way......" Thinking of this, Bo Shi ordered again: "Pass my order, immediately in Jicheng and the surrounding areas, recruit carpenters and blacksmiths to stand by!" ”
Heavy-duty carriages are easy to use, but they require careful maintenance, and carpenters and blacksmiths are indispensable to maintain them! (To be continued.) )
