Chapter 39 of the final book Shuangtang County is located in the northern part of Sichuan Province.
High-speed update 78 To the south of Shangjing is Razawa-gun in Sichuan, and further south is Yisu County, and to the south of Yisu County is Shuangtang County.
There are many high mountains and mountains in Shuangtang County, and there is a very famous and extremely important checkpoint, Xuangu Pass.
It can be said that Xuangu Pass is the only way to connect the three counties of Lei Ze, Yisu and Shuangtang in the middle of Sichuan, and it is equivalent to breaking the connection between the three counties and the mainland of Sichuan, of course, as long as the Wind Country can occupy the Xuangu Pass, it is equivalent to cutting off the three counties of the Sichuan Country at once, then the advantage of the Wind Country over the Sichuan Country will become greater.
Tang Yin knew very well in his heart that although Xiao Xuan's violent death would put the government and opposition of the Sichuan Kingdom in chaos temporarily, the strength of the Sichuan Kingdom was still there, and it was impossible for the Wind Kingdom to defeat the behemoth of the Sichuan Kingdom at once.
He retreated to the next best thing, seized the three counties of Lei Ze, Yisu and Shuangtang in Sichuan State, and controlled Xuangu Pass, so that in the future, if the Wind Country sends troops to Sichuan Country, it will be a flat river, and Sichuan Country will no longer be in danger to defend.
Therefore, Tang Yin set the target of this army as Shuangtang County, and the land grabbing was secondary, and what he wanted most was Xuangu Pass.
Liang Qi nodded while looking at the map, and said: "The Xuangu Pass in Shuangtang County can be called an important place for soldiers to fight, and it is also the only way for the hinterland of Sichuan to connect the three counties in the north and central China."
Xiao Muqing and Qing Yu also nodded again and again, saying that Liang Qi was right, if you want to send troops, at least you have to be famous, so that you can become a righteous army.
When Tang Yin heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "The Sichuan State has occupied Shangjing for so long, haven't we really taken a penny from Shangjing, we can ask for a treasure from the Sichuan State first, if the Sichuan Kingdom can't hand it over, won't we be famous?"
"The king meant" Everyone looked at Tang Yin in unison.
Tang Yin asked Wuying: "How much is the tax in Beijing for a year?"
Wuying was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took out her booklet again, looked through it carefully, and after confirming it, Zhengse said: "Back to the king, the tax revenue in Beijing is close to 10 million taels a year. ” Tang Yin said: "The Son of Heaven has been away from the capital for four or five years, and in the past four or five years, the tax alone has been reduced by tens of millions of taels, in addition, the treasures lost in the palace have been countless, total, almost 10,000 taels, this money should come from the Sichuan country."
Everyone invariably took a breath, it has only been more than a year since the Sichuan Kingdom occupied Shangjing, but they had to let them take out 10,000 taels of silver, how could the Sichuan Kingdom be this unjust boss Xiao Muqing said: "King, the Sichuan Kingdom will definitely not accept such a request. ” "Therefore, our country has a legitimate reason to send troops to fight."
Tang Yin said with a smile: "If Sichuan is unwilling to hand over 10,000 taels of silver, then take the three counties of Leize, Yisu, and Shuangtang to pay off the debt."
It turns out that this is the so-called division of the king.
The crowd looked at each other and nodded slowly, believing that this would be possible.
Seeing that everyone did not object, Tang Yin's heart was even more confident, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since everyone agrees, then this matter is decided." ” As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Muqing and said, "Muqing, immediately let the book be repaired and passed on to the Sichuan Imperial Court, and the Sichuan Kingdom must return 10,000 taels of silver within a month, and if it is overdue, you will bear the consequences." ” "It's the king," Xiao Muqing replied.
Soon, Tang Yin ordered Xiao Muqing's letter to reach Zhaoyang, the capital of Sichuan State, and now Zhaoyang City is already in chaos, and the imperial court is even more panicked. 10,000 taels of silver is nothing for the wealthy and powerful Sichuan State, but the key problem is that the reason of the Wind Country is not convincing, the Sichuan State has occupied Shangjing for more than a year, but during this period, the taxes levied by the Sichuan State are pitiful, at most only a few million taels, why should you hand over 10,000 taels of silver to the Wind Country at once Besides, during the period when the Sichuan State took care of Shangjing, the governance of Shangjing was in an orderly manner, even if there was no merit, there was hard work, even if it was not appreciated by the world, how could it be upside down The fifth princess, Xiao Xiang, was the first royal family to stand up against it, thinking that the Wind Country was taking the opportunity to blackmail, and the Sichuan Kingdom would never agree to this.
However, the second son, Xiao Yuan's opinion, was contrary to her, thinking that his father had just passed away, and the whole country of Sichuan was in a state of grief.
Xiao Xiang and Xiao Yuan's attitudes are very tough, one believes that he resolutely cannot accept the blackmail of the Wind Country, and the other believes that he should eliminate wealth and avoid disasters and calm people.
The ministers of the court were also divided into two factions, one side supporting Xiao Xiang and the other supporting Xiao Yuan.
Because Xiao Xuan died too suddenly and did not make a will, who would inherit the throne could not be determined immediately, which was also the fundamental reason for the panic in the Sichuan court.
And how to deal with the matter of the Wind Country asking for 10,000 taels of silver has become the key to the competition for the throne among the royal families.
Whether it is a prince or a princess, if this matter can be handled well, it will definitely win the hearts and prestige of the people, and it will become a natural thing to ascend to the throne.
At this time, Xiao Yuan, the second son, who had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, suddenly became active, and lobbied the ministers of the court everywhere, asking them to support their ideas, first meet the requirements of the Wind Country, and wait for the situation in the Sichuan Kingdom to stabilize before seeking revenge.
Under Xiao Yuan's active lobbying, many ministers changed their positions and stood on Xiao Yuan's side, and above the court, the voices of compromising with the Wind Country became louder and louder.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Xiang was disappointed, Fengguo is a greedy wolf that can't be fed, this time it can ask you for 10,000 taels of silver, if you accept, then next time it will ask you for 20,000 taels, 30,000 taels or even more, can Chuan Guo continue to compromise It's a pity that most of the people in the court of Sichuan are civil officials now, and they were frightened by Xiao Yuan's words, and many people didn't dare to insist on a tough attitude towards Fengguo.
After thinking about it, Xiao Xiang simply gave up the court and went directly to find the Sichuan army who returned from Shenchi.
The long story paragraph said that Xiao Xiang did not inform the imperial court at all, only took his cronies to leave the capital, and traveled day and night, and finally joined the army of Sichuan that returned to the capital in Dayan County, Sichuan.
Seeing his father's coffin in the army, Xiao Xiang cried loudly.
Unexpectedly, the wise father would die of illness on the way home.
She asked the generals how their father died.
The generals of the rivers were full of sadness and helplessness, Zhang Situ choked up and said: "The king's health has always been bad, this long journey to the divine pool, hard work all the way, coupled with the water and soil adaptation, accumulated hard work, so" "Did my father say anything before he died" Xiao Xiang wiped the tears from her face and calmed her emotions as much as possible.
The generals shook their heads one after another, and Zhang Situ said: "Back to the princess, the king has been unconscious for several days before he died. ” Xiao Xiang sighed secretly, and then, she took out the letter of the Feng Country, handed it to the generals, and said: "Presumably, the Feng Kingdom already knows the news of his father's death, and Tang Yin wants to take advantage of it and ask my country for 10,000 taels of silver. ” Ah, the generals hurriedly gathered around and carefully examined the contents of the letter.
After watching it, everyone gasped, Zhang Situ subconsciously clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Shameless and hateful, what a brazen wind country."
Bu Ying on the side said: "No wonder there are reports that the Feng Kingdom has hoarded a large army in Shangjing, thinking about it, asking for silver taels is fake, and raising troops to invade our country is true."
Xiao Xiang's eyes flashed, and he said: "General Bu, if this is the case, how should my country deal with it?"
"It's very simple, either meet the requirements of the Wind Country and hand them 10,000 taels of silver, or, fall to the ground in a bloody battle with the Wind Army, and never back down half a step" Bu Ying said word by word.
Xiao Xiang said quietly: "Hearing the news of my father's death, many ministers in the court have lost their masters, and they are even more afraid of the military strength of the Wind Country, and they all want to accept the requirements of the Wind Country.
General Bu, in your opinion, should our country accept the request of the Wind Country or should it refuse" Bu Ying's face was straight, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general is just a martial artist, he only knows how to fight, and he doesn't understand state affairs, but if the Wind Country dares to raise troops to attack, the last general will definitely fight with the Feng Army to the end."
Xiao Xiang nodded secretly, this was what she wanted to hear.
She said: "It is understandable that the ministers are greedy for comfort and do not want to fight, but now that the Wind Country is in danger and has ridden to the top of my Sichuan Country, this palace must not tolerate it, but now the throne is undecided, and there is no soldier in the hands of this palace, even if you want to fight with the Wind Army, you can't command the soldiers of my Dachuan." ” Hearing this, the generals looked at each other, paused for a few seconds, and the generals Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lu You, and Bu Ying who were present knelt down on one knee with a brush, and arched their hands and said: "The last general is willing to obey the dispatch of the princess, go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and do not give up."
They are all Xiao Xuan's close ministers, so they naturally can understand Xiao Xuan's mind best.
The matter of Xiao Xiang was passed on, and Xiao Xuan had discussed with them more than once or twice, which was basically a sure thing, but he didn't have time to write the edict yet.

In the eyes of the generals, Xiao Xiang is the new monarch of the Sichuan State, and Xiao Xiang's order is equivalent to the king's order.
Another point, Xiao Xiang's attitude towards the main battle is also to their appetite, in the eyes of the generals, the wind country is simply hateful to the extreme, asking for silver two, it is not mentioned sooner or later, but it is brought up at this juncture when the king dies, it is obviously falling into the well, taking advantage of the danger of people, the wind country is so shameless, if you can't give them a lesson this time, you may not know how to bully the Sichuan country even harder.
Seeing the generals who knelt down, Xiao Xiang was excited, couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Generals, hurry up."
After everyone stood up, she took several deep breaths in a row to calm down her excitement, and she frowned and said: "General Bu's speculation just now is the same as what Bengong thought, the extortion of the Feng Army is fake, and the attack is real, but the Bengong is still unable to determine where the Feng Army will invade from, and where our country should garrison the guards. ”:
