Chapter 261: Taiping Pass
Of course, there were also people who were anxious that day, and Pu Anwei's commander Ge Zhen said with red eyes: "I was Qiu Fu's subordinate back then, and I fought with the King of Han after the martyrdom, and the King of Han should know me, and I was transferred here later, and I supported the King of Han." ”
Sheng Yong thought about it, the above commanders of Wei have all been killed, and it is okay to leave one, okay, don't kill it for the time being.
Then from the thousands of households that were not killed, a wave of guards was promoted.
Let's mention a wave of thousands of households from below.
In this way, the entire Wei passed through killing a batch, raising a batch, distributing money and dividing the fields, and all of them became the hardcore of the Han King in an instant.
According to Sheng Yong's tactics, first raid Pu'anwei, and then let Wang Bin surround Xinxingsuo, besiege but not attack, and not let it come out, and then send Pu'anwei's surrendered soldiers, pretending to be defeated, and retreat to Annanwei, and the army followed closely to see if there was a chance to break Annanwei and capture Xue Lu alive.
But they were unlucky, when Wang Bin surrounded Xinxing, the thousands of households in Xinxing were very decisive and immediately organized the whole institute to break through, although Wang Bin was besieged everywhere, more than 100 people were still escaped.
On May 15, Xue Lu already knew that the king of Han had rebelled.
This guy didn't look at the previous move of the general's mansion to Annan, and when he heard that the king of Han was reversed, he immediately retreated to the east with the whole guard officer army, and took the soldiers and horses all the way.
After passing through the Puding Guard, all the Puding Guards and horses were taken away, and all the materials were burned.
Then go to Pingbawei, take away all the soldiers and horses of Pingba, and burn all the materials.
Then to Wei Qingwei, the same is true, and when he finally retreated into Guiyang, Xue Lu already had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
At this time, he and Guizhou Dusi commanded Gu Cheng to order the whole Guizhou soldiers and horses to gather in Guiyang, near Guiyang there are Guizhou Wuwei, Longliwei, Xintianwei, Pingyuewei are all within 100 miles, and fast horses can arrive in one day.
By the time Sheng Yong led the army to Pudingwei, 70,000 officers and troops had gathered around Guiyang City, and a continuous stream of other guards were also gathering in Guizhou, and a big war was about to break out.
——
The junction of Nanning, Guangdong, and Guangxi is also relatively close to Annan and Yunnan.
After the Jingjing, Tan Qing went to Guangxi to serve as the chief military officer, and he and Xue Luxue moved the chief military officer Yamen to Nanning Wei.
Nanningwei is the largest guard in Guangxi, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, participated in the entire Jingyan battle, after the war, returned to Nanningwei, less than one-third, it can be described as a heavy loss.
In the first and second years of Yongle, the local commander was Yang Si'er, and the original Nanning Wei Qianhu was promoted, and three years after Yongle, Yang Si'er was transferred to Nandanwei, and the commander was replaced by Tan Qing's henchman Wang Shengxia.
Tan Qing's reason for the replacement was also normal, at that time, Yang Si'er always accepted the benefits of the merchants, and allowed the merchants to transport goods back and forth on the official water post road.
Nanning guards the main official water post road in Guangxi, extending in all directions to the east, you can go to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and you can approach Yunnan and Annam to the west.
Zhang Fu went to Annan, and the army and baggage were all the way to Nanningwei from all over the country, which was very convenient.
Of course, Tan Qing is not a good thing, after changing Yang Si'er, the passing merchant ships have to pay him a fee.
He was also greedy and ruthless, and charged each ship according to the size of the ship, and collected ten taels for one hundred, twenty taels for two hundred, and forty taels of silver for four hundred merchants.
Tan Qing used to be just a small hundred households guarded by Yan Wangsan, and after experiencing the Jing Disaster, he was promoted all the way to the chief military officer, it can be said that before the Jing Disaster, he was still relatively poor, why did he fight desperately, isn't it just to live a good life now.
In fact, compared with the chief military officer, he wants to be the commander of the capital department, and the chief military officer nominally controls the capital of the two provinces, but the commander of the capital is the direct military commander, and he can promote and transfer the generals of the province's guard stations, so that he can reap the benefits.
But the chief military officer is bigger than the commander of the capital, Tan Qing will do it, and the commander of the capital here is also very knowledgeable, and he will consult him and pass his opinion if there is any appointment or dismissal.
After transferring Yang Si'er away last year, Tan Qing seized Nanningwei's past money to buy roads, and suddenly life got better, because Zhu Gaoxu and other Ming merchants had to transport goods from the waterways here to Tusi's territory, and then by land into Yunnan and Annan, so there were a lot of merchant ships in the past, and Tan Qing earned nearly 20,000 taels in a year, far more than his Yulu.
But Tan Qing is clear in his heart, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the local commanders rarely work in the local area for more than five years, unless there are some special places, such as Qu Neng has worked in Sichuan for more than ten years, because it is a side hammer, the situation is complicated, and Qu Neng did a good job at that time, and he also planted tea for the Ming court and exchanged horses.
As for a chief military officer like him, he won't work too long in the local area, so Tan Qing estimates that after two or three more years, he will have to move his position and change to someone else to reap the benefits.
On May 10, Tan Qing found a confidant, and Nanningwei instructed Wang Shengxia.
"Now that spring and summer are in, is there more fleets?" Tan Qing asked.
Wang Shengxia said with a smile: "General Hui, yes, yesterday morning was a little less, but in the afternoon, twelve more ships came." ”
Wang Shengxia also smiled, when Yang Si'er was there in the past, it was charged per person, and several bosses gave it to Yang Si'er, regardless of how many boats there were under the boss.
Tan Qing charges according to the boat, and if a boss comes to ten boats, he has to pay for ten boats, which is much more ruthless than Yang Si'er.
The bosses below have opinions, but what if they have opinions, their goods, transported here from the north and south of the Daming River, and sent to Yunnan or Annam, can earn at least two or three times, or even more, so they must not pay obediently.
Especially after the Ming army occupied Annam, merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty seemed to smell the smell of money, and a large number of goods were transported to Annam from all over the country, but it is said that on the side of Annam, the Ming army set up a bayonet to prevent merchants from entering the hinterland of Annam.
To the south of Thang Long, merchants from the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to go, as if they were occupied by the business of the Marquis of Xiping, Yunnan.
Tan Qing scolded with a smile: "These untouchables easily transport goods from Jiangnan to Annan-Jiaozhi, and Yunnan, and sell them several times when they change hands, and they can't be cheap when they count the money." ”
Wang Shengxia smiled and pandered, and said: "I heard that now in Jiaozhi, Ming merchants can only do business in the north of Shenglong, and in the south of Shenglong, Xipinghou is doing it, and many people can directly sell their goods to Xipinghou, and they can also make a lot of money." ”
"Naxi Pinghou, not to mention the wealth of Yunnan Province, he can do business and do business."
Tan Qing's face showed greed: "I heard that this Xiping Marquis is rich and rivals the country." ”
"That is, the Mu family is in Yunnan, and of course the wealth is the best in the world."
Tan Qing showed a yearning look on his face, thinking in his heart that if Lao Tzu made a great contribution, His Majesty the Emperor also let Lao Tzu Tan family hereditary towns, then it would be developed.
Then I thought, it's best that King Han can rebel, and then Lao Tzu will go to rehabilitate, hehe, make such a great achievement, and don't you want to make a hereditary town in Guangxi? Phew, Guangxi is too poor, Zhenhu is good.
Tan Qing was still thinking about it, and waited until Wang Shengxia called him before he reacted.
"Ahem, so be it." Tan Qing remembered the matter: "You will go out and tell my brother later, from May to September, the boat that comes will charge twice the fee per boat." ”
This Tan Qing is also ruthless, knowing that from May to September there are the most ships and the most goods, so he directly increases the price and doubles each ship.
Of course, Wang Shengxia was overjoyed: "These untouchables have made a lot of money, and it is normal to honor us, and the last general will take the order." ”
Wang Shengxia left Tan Qing's mansion in a hurry, returned to Weili, and immediately gathered his own soldiers and asked people to notify the Bachi Zhai Division.
The Bachi Zhai Division is now in charge of waterway tolls, and the local inspection is also Tan Qing's personal soldier.
In the afternoon, the news reached Nanning Wei, and many of the guards scolded in private.
When Yang Si'er was there, after receiving the money, he shared it with his brothers, and the officers above the small flag had a share, and some of the ordinary soldiers in charge of these things also had a share.
After Tan Qing kicked Yang Si'er away, he immediately changed it, except for his own henchmen, the officers and soldiers of the former Nanning Guard, only more than 1,000 households will share the money, and the less than 1,000 households will not be divided, and the money will be less than before.
He earns more than Yang Si'er, but his share is less than before, and even thousands of households in each institute have opinions, but of course everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, so they can only endure it.
As for the lower than 1,000 households, 100 households, the general banner and the small banner, they will directly have no income, and everyone is secretly scolding behind their backs, but so what, in Tan Qing's eyes, how can there be such low-level officers.
Of course, he is still more confident, he has been in Nanning Wei for more than three years, and there are more than 100 households in each health office, and he has basically changed it all over, most of them are his henchmen, so a small number of more than 100 households have not received money, and he doesn't care at all.
But what he didn't know was that although these people were in the minority, they could still make a big difference when necessary.
For example, the mahout guard, the Taiping Pass hundred households are complete.
The mahout guard is in Hengzhou, close to Lingshan County, Guangdong, was originally an important node of Guangdong into Guangxi, Guangdong's goods from Hengzhou into Guangxi, it is necessary to board the horse in the mahout guard, to the west to Yunnan, Jiaozhi, to the east to other places in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhong Dequan used to be Nanning Wei, and he was Yang Si'er's good brother, after Tan Qing kicked Yang Si'er away, he found an excuse to transfer Zhong Dequan to the Elephant Guard.
There was no charge on the mahout guard's side, and Zhong Dequan immediately lost an important income, which made him half angry.
But being angry is angry, and there is no way, even Yang Si'er has been transferred, what can he do.
Fortunately, at that time, the commander of the elephant guard was Hu Tong, who was also a member of the original Nanning Wei, who participated in the Battle of Jingyan, and Zhong Dequan asked him for transfer to go to Taipingguan.
Taiping Pass is a good location, guarding the main road between Guangdong and Guangxi, whether it is from Guangdong to Guangxi, from Guangxi to Guangdong, you must go through Taipingguan, and then you can go to Hengzhou.
Hu Tong agreed to his request and transferred him to Taiping Pass to serve as a hundred households, which can be regarded as a leader.
At that time, Tan Qing didn't ask, after all, people had no income, and it seemed that he could make up for it by changing places to be the number one.
Anyway, Taiping Pass is also in the ravine, so there is no benefit.
Of course, not long after, Hu Tong was also transferred, and the commander of the mahout guard also became Tan Qing's person.
The day before Tan Qing decided to double the charge, a group of businessmen came from outside Taipingguan.
Let's talk about the fact that in the past, no one could be hit by the artillery here in Taipingguan, and no one passed by.
Since Li Yuan arrived in Guangdong, Zhu Gaoxu's salt, tea, sugar and other materials in Guangdong would be transported from Taiping Pass to Guangxi, and then to Nanning.
So in recent years, there have been more and more caravans in Taipingguan.
