[Thank you for the two monthly passes of my friend Celestial Movement Theory, and the monthly pass of my friend Little White Dragon in the waves] Although Badong is the county of Padang County, it is surrounded by mountains, it is inconvenient to come and go, and the Qiang, Shi, Jin and Southwest Yi in the city are mixed, Yang Yan has no intention of making a big move for the time being, and the land occupation system implemented in the north is not intended to be forced in the south.
After all, Jiangbei is the basic plate of the Ming Kingdom, and it has been destroyed by war, and it is easy to transform, while Jiangnan is mostly undeveloped, and the power of the Shijia family, the Shu family and the Zhuyi chieftains are intertwined, and the whole body is affected.
For example, silk hemp, Jiankang's silk hemp has been completely monopolized by Concubine Pei and the Hu family, and other families have gone bankrupt under the competition of ultra-low prices, either to grow grain instead, or to sell the land cheaply.
Although the quality is not very good and the cost is high, with the improvement of varieties and large-scale promotion in the future, sooner or later it will go to thousands of households, further encroaching on the share of silk hemp.
Moreover, the main contradiction at present is not that there are many people and few land, but that after a hundred years of war, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the most important issue in front of us is to release the population from the manors and dock forts and polders to become yeoman farmers, or to engage in industry and commerce.
Therefore, Yang Yan did not make any changes to Badong, and he didn't even change the guards, he directly gave a miscellaneous general, and appointed him as the Badong Taishou of the Ming Kingdom, anyway, he was still young, and he could slowly put Jiangnan on the right track after dominating the world.
Three days later, the whole army went up the Yangtze River, from Badong to Jiangzhou for about 700 miles, there was no city along the way, and by the beginning of November, when they arrived at Jiangzhou, the city had changed banners, and Qian Feng took Jiangzhou first.
There is no suspense in the process of conquering Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou is a twin city, one is located in the Jiangbei District of present-day Chongqing, from the Han Dynasty, the city is smaller, and the other is built by Li Yan on the Yuzhong Peninsula at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, with a circumference of 16 li, the pattern of the twin cities is quite similar to the big city of Chengdu and Shaofu City, or Luoyang and Kim Yong City, and the small city is the arch guard of the big city.
Because the small city is only five miles in radius and the troops are limited, Qian Feng and his generals made meritorious contributions and broke through the small city in one day and one night.
At first, Li Yan had the idea of digging up the Yuzhong Peninsula and making it really an isolated island, which could better prevent Sun Wu from attacking, but Zhuge Liang was afraid that Li Yan would stand on his own feet according to Jiangzhou, so he resolutely disagreed, and transferred Li Yan away from Jiangzhou, so the peninsula was connected with the main body of land, Qian Feng immediately sent troops to the island, cut off the connection between the big city and the land, made full use of psychological tactics, and kept shouting under the city day and night.
"See the King" Qian Feng stepped forward and reported the battle to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan nodded in approval, but Li Xiang snorted coldly and shook the sleeves of his robe.
Li Ban also glared at Qian Feng angrily, if it weren't for this guy, how could he end up like this Qian Feng was not in a hurry, he smiled and arched his hand: "The two armies are facing each other, doing everything they can, sneaking up on your army, it is really not for yourself, if there is anything offended, I hope that Li Gong will forgive me."
"Hmph" Li Xiang snorted again, but Qian Feng was not wrong, if he wanted to say that he was different from himself, he was just a little more ruthless, so he didn't throw his sleeves this time, but only hummed to show that he was not angry.
"Alright, alright" Yang Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will let Li Gong and Li Lang go back to Chengdu. “ "What" Li Xiang and Li Ban were taken aback, they didn't expect Yang Yanzhen to let him go, and took the pawn away, and for a while, they were stunned.
It was Li Xiang who came back to his senses first, and hurriedly gave Li Ban a look, and the grandparents and grandchildren both thanked him.
"Thank you for your generosity" "Hmm" Yang Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Let's go, enter the city." ” Because Yang Yan unexpectedly ordered the pawn to be released back to Chengdu, Li Xiang and Li Ban hurriedly resigned and went to arrange this matter, Wei was puzzled: "King, let Li Xiang Li Ban down, why let the pawn go?"
Yang Yan glanced at Qian Feng.
Qian Feng was not in a hurry, and smiled: "General Wei, the king's move, according to Feng, there are no three."
First, there are 20,000 soldiers in the Cheng army, calculated according to the eclipse of seven liters, 1,400 stones are consumed every day, and Bashan Shushui, it is difficult to transport grain, and the king can not let the Cheng army attack Han'an and Chengdu, it is better to let it go, save grain and grass.
Second, the release of the soldiers can promote the prestige of the Ming army and the name of the king's benevolence, so that the enemy has no intention of facing the battle.
Third, the army has not been engaged in exercises for a long time, and its combat effectiveness is limited, so it is of no great use to be incorporated into the army. “ Yang Yan took it over and said: "When the Three Gorges are opened, grain and grass can be transported from Jiangling, but before our army enters Chengdu, it can be saved." “ "Oh" Wei showed a look of sudden realization.
Chongqing has a very high status in modern times, is the economic center of the southwest, and at that time, the location of Jiangzhou is the same as a civilization dividing line, in the west of Jiangzhou, is the vast Chengdu Plain, deeply influenced by the Qin and Han cultures, rich in products, developed economy, in the east of Jiangzhou, is the continuous mountains, is the settlement of the Ba people and Zhuyi, and is also the forefront of the war between the Qin and Han dynasties and the Ba people.
Although after hundreds of years of war, the Ba people were included in the big family of the Chinese nation, but it was very difficult to develop the mountains east of Jiangzhou, that is, Liangzhou, Yang Yan considered again and again, dispelled the idea of changing the name of Jiangzhou to Chongqing, and did not plan to make a large-scale transformation of Jiangzhou, the key of which is the population, the hinterland of the Central Plains is still underpopulated, how can there be a surplus population to move to Jiangzhou For the time being, Jiangzhou's positioning is still the throat of Shuzhong and a military fortress The next day, Li Xiang and Li Ban led 15,000 soldiers on the way home, each carrying ten days' rations, and nearly 5,000 did not want to return to Chengguo, and was determined to follow the Ming army to make meritorious contributions.
Five days later, Yu Yao led 45,000 troops to arrive, the total strength of the Ming army reached 90,000 people, Jin Yuehua, Xixiang, and Lingxiang were also mixed in the female Qianniuwei, so Yang Yan marched to Han'an, 400 miles away, the next day.
Although Han'an nominally belongs to Chengguo, in fact Chengguo's local power is extremely weak.
Since the first year of Emperor Hui Yongping, because of the rebellion of the Eight Kings and the Guanxi Qiang clan to raise troops against the Jin, a large number of Guan sergeants and Guanxi displaced people entered Shu to make a living and seek food, forcing the local residents of Han'an and the surrounding Niu Gebei and Zizhong counties to migrate outward, to the second year of Emperor Hui Tai'an, Ba Li Te according to Shu Jianhao, the following year his son Li Xiong called the emperor, the country name became, the southwest slang bureaucrats and Zhuyi took the opportunity to invade the north, the Han security realm was based on the Yi bureaucracy, and the county also lived in other places, at the same time, Zizhong County was in name for frequent wars, and the name was abolished, Niu Gebei County was changed to Shu County, and the local turmoil was endless.
At this time, there was a big earthquake in Shuzhong Chengdu is located in the transition zone between the western Sichuan plateau and the central Sichuan hills, and has been the commercial center of the southwest region since the Qin and Han dynasties.
To the Wei and Jin dynasties, Chengdu was divided into two large and small cities, commerce and granaries were concentrated in small cities, commodities were piled up, shops and stalls were lined up one after another, and the big city was a weak commercial atmosphere, inhabited by the ministers and magnates and the powerful of Shu, and played the function of the administrative center.
When the Ming army marched towards Han'an, Li Xiang and Li Ban also led the remnants of the defeated army back to Chengdu, Li Xiong was shocked and summoned his ministers to the court to discuss the matter.
In fact, it has been more than 20 days since the defeat of Yiling, and Li Xiong also learned the news of the defeat a few days ago through the soldiers who fled back to Chengdu, but it was not until Li Ban and Li Xiang returned that Jiangzhou was lost before discussing the matter, this kind of efficiency is very speechless.
Because Liu Chan wisely chose to open the city and surrender, Chengdu was not devastated by the army, and the palace was basically preserved, so Li Xiong directly used it on the basis of a slight repair on the basis of the original Shu Han palace.
In the wide hall, Li Xiong wore a crown of cupola and a black crown robe, standing high on the top of the steps.
At the bottom of the steps, a group of civil and military officials sat upright.
The atmosphere in the hall is solemn, and the sound of each other's breathing can be heard quietly, everyone understands that the loss of Jiangzhou means that Chengguo is no longer safe, and the Ming army can attack directly from the east.
Li Xiong glanced at the ministers under the stairs and asked: "Now Jiangzhou has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, as Taifu said, the Ming army came with Jingxiang and surrendered, or there are 100,000 people, and all the ministers are discussing, how to deal with the enemy."
Fan's father Fan Changsheng was worshiped as prime minister because he funded Li Xiong's army, and after his father's death, Ben succeeded his father.
The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, Fan Ben Shili said: "Your Majesty, Jiangzhou is a fence in Shuzhong, the mountains are continuous, the Ming army comes from afar, there will be insufficient food and grass, and it will not be able to win the hearts of the people in a few months, Your Majesty should quickly send troops to refuse, just drag it out for some time, and the Ming army may retreat without a fight." ” The general of the chariot cavalry arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is very true, I still have 150,000 elite soldiers in Dacheng, and they can all serve your majesty to the death, please don't hesitate Your Majesty." ” Li Xiong looked at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang was full of shame and sighed: "The water is shallow in winter and spring, boats and boats are easy, and the Ming army can transport grain from Jiangling to Jiangzhou from the river." “ ：。
