Chapter 334: Bingfa Yazhou
Just when Zhu Qizhen set off from Beijing, the grain that King Ning bought from Jiangnan was also being loaded.
According to the agreement, after the construction of the railway from Jingzhou to Chengdu, the imperial court needs to allocate 500,000 stone of grain to Wusizang.
Of course, this grain was produced by King Ning's railway bureau.
After more than half a year, the construction of the railway is progressing smoothly, the wages of the people have been paid in full, and now it is time to honor the promised food.
In the early stage, 100,000 stones had been sent to Sandu, and now there are 400,000 stones, which are being loaded.
At this time, Sandu did not know that this railway running through Chengdu Province was about to bring great convenience to the trade between Wusizang and the Central Plains.
Why did the barbarians in history like to fight, to put it bluntly, they were hungry.
If you are well fed and clothed, you just want to fight, and no one wants to follow you.
Those nomads in the north lack salt, iron, tea and sugar on weekdays, and want to get it through trade, but the Central Plains don't give it, so they have no choice but to grab it.
If they catch up with the weakness of the Central Plains Dynasty, they will take advantage of the situation and replace it.
Therefore, there are many precedents in history for winning the world on horseback, but such dynasties will not last long.
On the other hand, in the Central Plains, whether it is the Han and Tang dynasties or the Song and Ming dynasties, although there were times when they were invaded by civilization, such civilizations either integrated into the Central Plains civilization or disappeared in the long river of history.
The heritage of this land has gone far beyond the concept of one family and one country, and any cultural invasion will eventually merge into the great river of Central Plains civilization like a babbling stream.
Therefore, the culture of the Central Plains is open and inclusive, and it is by no means the kind of Manchu Dynasty that shouted Confucius and Mencius benevolence and righteousness, but rejected everything.
Now the Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, with only 400,000 stone grains, which is a small meaning!
At the Nanjing Railway Station, horse-drawn carriages were full of sacks, which were full of grain.
After some officials at the scene weighed it, they registered it in the register, and then it was carried by the people and loaded into the carriage.
The train was freight, and each carriage was stuffed to the brim, then covered with linoleum cloth and tied with hemp rope.
The first truck was loaded with 200,000 stone of grain and sent directly to Chengdu Prefecture.
You must know that these grains are like a long drought and a rain for the poor Wu Sizang, who can't open the pot.
】
Sandu thinks that he has made a lot of money, and the Ming court has saved a huge amount of expenses. If it weren't for the 200,000 people collected by Uszang, this railway would not have been built in three or five years.
This is mutual benefit, since everyone can sit down and make a fortune together, why fight and kill?
Sandu was a little flustered at this time, because the railroad had been repaired, and the grain promised by the imperial court had not yet been settled, so it would not be ...... Repented, right?
For this matter, he asked Taiqian, but the answer he received was...... I sent you this 400,000 stone grain?
Who to look down on!
Sandu had no choice but to find Jin Batu and said, "You can ask someone to find out how the grain promised by the court is going." 400,000 stones is not a small amount, they should be collected nearby, and it is estimated that it is in the area of Chengdu Prefecture. ”
Jin Batu was a little hesitant and entangled for a long time, and then replied: "The spies came to report, there was no movement in Chengdu Mansion, and the nearby prefectures and counties did not receive orders from the imperial court to collect grain. ”
Sang Du gasped, his eyes became cold, and asked, "What about farther away?" ”
Jin Batu shook his head and said, "I have inquired, and there is no movement of the entire Sichuan Political Envoy Department to collect grain." ”
Sandu's face became more and more heavy, the 100,000 stone grain given last time was collected from Chengdu Mansion and surrounding prefectures and counties, it stands to reason that the imperial court will not transfer grain from farther away, otherwise, the loss on the road is too great.
One hundred catties of grain, if it is a long journey, people eat horses and chew, and it is good to have ten catties left when it is transported to the destination.
Could it be that when the 400,000 stone grain is transported to Wusizang in the Year of the Monkey, there will be 40,000 stone left?
Isn't that bullying?
Sang Du was already a fiery temper, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and roared angrily: "The Ming court bullied me too much, Amitabha, gather soldiers and horses, fuck him!" ”
Jin Batu still has a brain, and when he hears Sang, he wants to fight hard, and his heart says Aren't you hitting a stone with an egg?
What kind of combat power is the current Da Ming, it is simply a monster armed to the teeth!
Just our 100,000 soldiers and horses killed it, I am afraid that we can't even touch the bricks of Chengdu Mansion, and they will be bombarded into slag by artillery.
"Your Royal Highness Sandu, you must not, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are powerful, and it is too irrational to send troops now!"
"Sanity? How do you make me sane? ”
Sang Du said angrily: "I obviously said good things, but now I regret it when I say it, who do you think of us?" ”
Jin Batu had no choice but to persuade: "Although we didn't get food, the people have been working for a few months, and the court still gave money." ”
"Damn, I'm mad when you talk about it!"
Sang Du was even more angry, and said: "They directly sent the wages to the people, I didn't even see a copper coin!" Moreover, those people took the money and were grateful to the Ming court, isn't this a clear digging of the wall? ”
"Your Highness, please think twice, let's ...... now It's really not the opponent of the Ming army! ”
"I'm thinking about it!"
Sang Du was furious, and cracked the table in front of him in half with a knife: "This revenge is not avenged, just like this table!" ”
Jin Batu was also helpless, but the Ming court was too bullying, Wu Sizang was poor, and the leaders of the tribes were waiting for the rice to be put into the pot, and Sangdu also agreed, saying that it would distribute food to them after a while.
Although it is said that the people have made money, except for some barley, Wu Si has almost no food, and he can't buy it with money!
There is another reason why Sandu is anxious.
What does it mean that the people of each tribe can go to the Central Plains to buy food from the Han people when they have money, so that they will not be as dependent on themselves as before?
There is no better way than to do it...... Let's fight!
Sandu said he would do it, gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and slaughtered Yazhou City.
Yazhou City is the western gateway of the Sichuan Basin, and the guard general learned the news and hurriedly sent people to Chengdu Mansion to report to Yu Qian.
Yu Qian received the report, and it was also inexplicable, what kind of style did this Sandu smoke, and he was fine when he came to repair the railway, how can he say that he will turn his face?
There was news from Nanjing City, saying that the first batch of 200,000 stone grain was about to arrive, and he was about to send someone to inform Sangdu, is this guy crazy, the grain was given to you by the imperial court, and you don't need money, and you sent troops to rob it?
Of course he didn't know, Sang Du just thought that the imperial court had repented and didn't want to give the 400,000 stone grain, so he sent troops to Yazhou City.
In fact, although Sandu was angry, he was also helpless.
He knows very well that his strength is not the opponent of the Ming army at all, but the atmosphere is here, how can he not be cowardly!
