Chapter 36 Threats
In front of the two armies, Yang Chengying and Jiang Bi were both on horseback, talking at close range.
Facing Jiang Bi's threat, Yang Chengying said calmly: "You and I are comrades who fought hand in hand in the defense of Liaoyang, and if you really want to tear off your face, it will only be bad for you and me, not good." ”
"No way! You won't let me enter Jinzhou City, and I can't make a difference to the top. ”
Seeing that the guards of Jinzhou were neatly lined up and as quiet as a mountain, Jiang Bi knew that he couldn't beat Yang Chengying.
He can't be easily succumbed, and he can't make a deal when he goes back.
"It's simple, I'll repair a letter and ask you to bring it back to Governor Wang, and I will say......"
Yang Chengying said lightly, "The land in my Golden State is fertile, but most of it is concentrated in the hands of a few large households. The people were desperate, and the soldiers had no food or clothing. A portion of the land had to be given to the hungry who had no land. ”
"In addition, please rest assured that I will never exterminate the gentry."
Then, Yang Chengying changed his words: "If the governor insists on persecution, the Jinzhou Wei will be resentful, which is not conducive to the great cause of Ping Jiannu." ”
When Jiang Bi heard it, this was for Governor Wang, and it was clearly for him.
If he does not withdraw his troops, it means that he will be the enemy of the entire Golden State Guard, and the outcome will be unpredictable.
Fight with your own people.
The slave chieftain is in Shenyang and goes south at any time, isn't this a joke for them?
This kid never fights alone, in case he annoys them all, he will definitely suffer a big loss if he starts to do it, so it's better to sell him face.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bi said, "Okay." I will convey your words to Governor Wang, but ...... You have to do it yourself, don't overdo it. ”
"General Xie Jiang reminds me, I'll pay attention."
"I hope so, farewell."
"No."
Jiang Bi turned his horse's head, returned to the formation, and ordered the withdrawal of the army.
Tian Chonggui was completely anxious, he grabbed the reins in Jiang Bi's hand and prevented Jiang Bi from withdrawing his troops.
"Tian Gong, what are you doing here?"
"General Jiang, as soon as you leave, there will be no place to bury the old and dead."
"You can rest assured of that. Yang Chengying has promised that he will not harm your lives. ”
He ...... His promise was worthless, begging the general...... Oops......"
Jiang Bi completely lost his patience, kicked him away, and led the army back to the north.
Tian Chonggui looked at the retreating soldiers, and his mentality completely collapsed. If you return to Golden State, it is not the same as sending sheep into the wolf's mouth; If you don't go back, you can't give up your family business.
After thinking about it, he decided to venture back and die in his own house.
Seeing Jiang Bi's withdrawal of troops, Yang Chengying also collected his troops and returned to the camp, and on the way back to the city, he conceived the idea of the next military camp.
In ancient times, it was a very common way to include the idea of "educating soldiers in agriculture", but the specific implementation was different.
The most common type of field is a soldier in wartime and a farmer in peacetime.
The second form is the cantonment army type, in which the army specializing in farming is responsible for farming.
The third type is the military house, which gives the soldiers' families a piece of land, and the soldiers help to farm the land in their spare time.
Yang Chengying thought about it for a long time and felt that these three were not suitable.
Houjin is close at hand, and looking at this trend, troops will be dispatched in the first month of next year at the latest, and Liaoyang City may be taken. At that time, southern Liaoning will be exposed to the Houjin soldiers.
It's too dangerous!
Time is too short.
Now there is an urgent need for a force capable of fighting.
If the first way is adopted, it is equivalent to sacrificing the time of training, and once the Houjin army arrives, there is no capital to resist.
The second way means that a large number of soldiers are dispatched, and they are already short of manpower, and they also send soldiers to the tuntian, which is tantamount to cutting off one's fingers.
The third way is not good, the Ming Dynasty's guard system has been completely destroyed, and it is impossible to restore it.
Therefore, Yang Chengying decided to find another way.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, he summoned Xu Shang, Qi Dazhuang, Han Yunchao and others to discuss the matter together.
At the meeting, he came up with the plan he had designed.
"Are you really going to give us all the land of the big family?"
After going through so many things, Qi Dazhuang thought that Yang Chengying would make concessions to the big households.
"Not all, most of it. It wasn't a forced division of land, but we bought it from them by way of acquisition. Yang Chengying corrected.
"What if they don't sell?" Qi Dazhuang asked.
"Then it depends on whether they want to go to Lord Yama to collect rent!"
"Okay." Qi Dazhuang slapped the table, "The harvest only needs to be handed over to sixty percent, and we will do it." ”
"You have to emphasize one point with the villagers that the land is owned by the Golden State Command Embassy, and anyone who wants to buy or sell land must be approved by the Command Embassy. Private transactions, don't count. ”
"That's great. I'm still afraid that those big families will come to rob it, that is...... What if a large household sends someone to deliberately cause sabotage? ”
"Sabotage? I will take all their household goods into my possession. ”
This method not only solves the problem of troop resources, but also confiscates the "tools" used by the big households to make a fortune.
Xu Shang was a little worried, "Our action is so big, the Liaodong Governor Yamen will have a big opinion on us." ”
"Don't talk about it in front of me, it's angry to think about it. It has been so long since I reported to the Jingluo Mansion and the Governor's Yamen that I have not given me a grain of grain. It is unreasonable to send a large army to threaten me. ”
Yang Chengying gritted his teeth.
The entire Ming territory in Liaodong is actually controlled by Wang Huazhen. Xiong Tingbi is only a nominal Liaodong economic strategy, and the government decree does not go out of Shanhaiguan.
Wang Huazhen and Yang Chengying did not deal with each other, and because Jinzhou was located in the southernmost part of Liaodong, he felt that it was not a top priority to give money and grain to Jinzhou, so he used most of the money and grain given by the imperial court in Liaoyang and Haizhouwei.
If you don't give money and food, you still want to be an uncle, and it's strange if you don't grit your teeth.
"Since everyone has no opinion, let's go down and enforce it. Time is tight, the task is heavy, and the faster the better. ”
Yang Chengying commanded.
When the meeting was adjourned, the group left.
When they were all gone, Shang Kexi came in and reported: "My lord, Tian Chonggui is asking to see you outside the door." ”
"Oh? He finally came and invited him in. Yang Chengying smiled slightly.
"Yes."
After Shang Kexi left for a while, he led Tian Chonggui to Yang Chengying.
As soon as he saw Yang Chengying, Tian Chonggui cried: "My lord, I won't dare next time." I beg the adults not to hurt the old man's family, the old man is here to compensate you. ”
"Tian Gong, please get up and speak."
Yang Chengying stretched out his hand to help Tian Chonggui up, "Let me tell you the truth, I didn't make any moves against your mansion." It's just to fence your house and scare you. ”
"Really?" Tian Chonggui didn't believe it.
"I can swear to God."
"That'...... Thank you for your kindness. ”
"But there's something I need to tell you."
When Tian Chonggui heard this, he sighed in his heart, he would still come.
"The fertile land in your name, in addition to the land you actually paid taxes, the extra part of the land that was not taxed was temporarily lent to me. I will set up estates on your land and settle the outcasts. ”
Yang Chengying spoke in a very gentle tone.
It sounded very harsh to Tian Chonggui.
But what can he do, he can only choose to nod in agreement.
