I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 477

"Qing is the one who risked his life to storm the camp and burn the Chu army's food and fodder?"

"Go back to the king, and the minister will."

Wei Tao never imagined that one day he would be specially summoned by the monarch, and he would conduct inquiries in front of all the officials, so he was naturally excited and excited.

This day has been seven days since the original army defeated the coalition army.

Hundreds of thousands of coalition forces were either wiped out or retreated from the border of Zheng State in despair. The original army controlled most of the eastern and southern parts of Zheng State, leaving only one "Xinzheng" still insisting on resisting.

At the present point, as long as the original army wins "Xinzheng", it will be able to declare the demise of Zheng State.

However, "Xinzheng" has been besieged for nearly two years, and there are no more than [-] defenders in the city. It is unknown how long the food can last.

The most important thing is that the Chu army, Song army, and Yue army all retreated. Hundreds of thousands of allied forces could not stop Yuanguo, and the only city left in "Xinzheng" was tantamount to dying.

Now, the original army besieging "Xinzheng" has increased to 14. The siege towers, siege vehicles, ladders, catapults, bed crossbows... and other equipment are too rich, let alone the morale of the "Xinzheng" defenders is extremely low. What will the monarch and ministers use to fight against the original army?
Wei Tao was a little dizzy, he only remembered that he was promoted again, and he forgot everything else.

"Already the 'handsome' of a 'teacher'?"

"I still need to go to 'Chang'an' to study."

"The result is wealth and wealth and insurance!"

"This matter is only in Dayuan, is there such a case in other countries?"

That's right!

If the other vassal states have no bloodlines, no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to change their own destiny. Only the original state that has confused the theory of bloodlines can change its destiny with hard work.

In fact, Wei Tao is very grateful that Weiguo has become a part of Yuanguo. If he still lives in Weiguo, he will either continue to be a savage, or he will be captured as a slave. A "division" commander.

Just to become the commander of a "division", other vassal states must have a strong enough family background, that is, have a large enough fiefdom, and there are enough "soldiers" and "disciples" in the fiefdom, so that the country does not recruit soldiers under its command.

What is special about the original country now is that the country recruits soldiers, and those who hold various levels of official positions command the country's army.

Of course, the original country is undergoing changes, and there will definitely be some legacy problems, such as the Han family, the Fox family, and the Zhong family. The troops under their command are private troops from the family, and the troops belonging to the country are from Zhi's family broke up into various counties in the country.

"So, let's have a banquet tonight..."

"It's me!"

Wei Tao returned to his tent, and after entering, he was still relishing the joy of being promoted, and not long after someone asked to see him outside.

"Doctor, this is a gift from your majesty."

What are the rewards?Two sets of dresses, two jade pendants, an excellent-looking war sword, ten bolts of silk, fifty bolts of other cloth, a box of coins, and more miscellaneous things that can be used by a doctor.

Dresses are also official uniforms, and it is a feature of the Yuan Kingdom that the monarch rewards official uniforms, mainly because Yuan Junyao used this method to regulate the dressing of officials.

The fact that the monarch rewards the things used by the doctor level can only be said that the monarch is really particular about it. Knowing that after a person with a poor background is promoted, he is limited by his property and cannot buy it, so he simply uses the method of rewarding it.

Then, at the same time, I can also understand why the king of a country always needs to work hard, not only the accompanying people and living materials such as food and fodder, but also the items used as rewards. It is not surprising that such a big battle .

Wei Tao's status has become different. Starting from participating in the banquet, not only can he participate in it, but he can also chat with people who are usually out of reach, and fully realize that his life has changed.

"Father allowed me to be 'feudal', and Kai Te came to invite the doctor into my 'shogunate'."

Wei Tao admitted that he drank a little too much when he was complacent, and could understand what the prince was saying, but he couldn't understand many words.

What is feudalism?First of all, you must have your own fiefdom, and then you must have your own retainers and subjects, and your own territory is up to you.

The shogunate has the right to legally form a force team, and all functions and powers in it are complete, but the number of troops is not fixed.

Wei Tao secretly bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up, and looked at Zhi Kai with a dazed expression, his mind spinning thousands of times in a very short period of time.

This is the crown prince, ninety-nine percent will be the future monarch of the Yuan Kingdom.

The prince came to recruit himself?Wei Tao knew that his performance caught the prince's eyes.

just what?Wei Tao is hesitant because the monarch is in his prime, and he has not heard of any health problems. If there is no accident, he can still reign for 30 to [-] years, and weighs whether it is worthwhile to invest in the crown prince.

In the end, Wei Tao still saluted and said: "I would like to do my best for the crown prince!"

An "army" has five "divisions", and the scale of the original country's troops is getting larger and larger. As a "division", even if the "handsome" has already ranked among the middle and high-level, the fact that the number is large does not seem to be so important.

Another reason is that Wei Tao did not dare to refuse the prince.

It is obvious that if you agree, there may not be any additional benefits, and if you refuse, you must write it down in the small book, even if it is only for the sake of future generations, it is best not to offend the prince.

Because Wei Tao agreed, he was taken to another place by Zhikai.

There was also a banquet in this place, and the people who participated in the banquet looked very young, and there were several second-generation rich and powerful who could be recognized by Wei Tao alone.

Wei Tao thinks that the most important thing is the presence of Taihu. It seems that Taihu is still the manager of the banquet, which means that the banqueting monarch here also knows it, and even the monarch is supportive.

Since when did the father and son of the royal family cease to be father and son, and become monarchs and ministers?It's a bit difficult to say.

However, from the Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period, the relationship between father and son was not so bad anyway, and the power of the prince was greater than that of other dynasties, and even other heirs had the right to form private armies. It is not the case of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao or Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao.

Wei Tao, who was already drunk, didn't dare to hold it at a new banquet, and even drank a lot in order to make friends with the second generation of the rich and powerful. When he woke up the next day, he only felt a splitting headache.

In the next few days, the original army launched an attack on "Xinzheng".

This time the siege is no longer just a long-range equipment launch, it belongs to the attack method of the original army sending troops to attack the city wall.

The siege has nothing to do with the promoted Wei Tao, because there are no troops to command, and he can only act as a spectator.

The first city wall of "Xinzheng" had been smashed by riprap trucks for several months before, but the city wall was not smashed down, but the female wall and arrows were damaged too much, and artificial mounds were added outside the city. The city wall was about to be attacked by various long-range weapons of the original army, and the first city wall was captured by the original army in just two days.

Afterwards, the original army took advantage of the captured first city wall, and a large number of long-range troops settled in. Once the city was attacked, it would be rain of arrows to cover the second city wall.

Siege equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows were then transported into the city. Some of them were hoisted on the first city wall, and more equipment was waiting for the platform to be built.

"The enemy's resistance is weak, and Kecheng is just around the corner, isn't it?"

Wei Tao looked at the prince, and he could see a kind of sharp-edged temperament.

The prince with an enterprising mentality is exactly the prince that the military likes.

If the prince prefers literature to martial arts, although the military dare not express dissatisfaction, there will definitely be implicit rejection.

Now that it has entered the world of great struggle, the original country that defeated the alliance of Chu, Song, Yue and Zheng is undoubtedly the only powerful country at that time, and it is precisely the stage that needs to seize the opportunity to siege cities and plunder.

In this atmosphere, Zhikai, as the prince, was able to show his enterprising attitude, but Zhiyao, as the monarch, was actually not gratified.

If possible, Zhiyao hopes that Zhikai will think about how to rule a country that has been repeatedly expanded by force, and how to eliminate hatred in various regions and maintain stability and development in various regions.

On the seventh day when the original army launched the siege of "Xinzheng", the second city wall of "Xinzheng" also fell.

That is, the next day, Zheng Junyi sent an envoy.

Wei Tao had the honor to witness the process of the monarch meeting with the envoys of Zheng Guo.

The envoy of Zheng Guolai was called Si Hong, and he was said to be a general who was good at fighting.

Use this kind of operation as a general?It's not that being a general is purely a warrior, who can take up important positions now, who is not capable of writing and martial arts.

Sihong brought up the old things again, that is, the last time the original country asked Zheng Guo to surrender, he was willing to keep the eastern and southern parts of Zheng Guo, and leave the "Xin Zheng" still belonging to Zheng Guo.

At that moment, Wei Tao thought contemptuously in his heart: "Looks like Zheng people don't understand what is one moment and another moment."

Sure enough, Wei Tao was astonished when he saw the monarch's face.

"Nowadays, 'Xinzheng' is within easy reach of the widow. Except for the 'Xinzheng', Zheng land is captured by the widow's army. Why does Mr. Zheng say that?"

For a moment, Si Hong was speechless.

Wei Tao listened to the monarch continue to speak again.

"If Mr. Zheng is willing to surrender, the widow can give him a city, so that the blood and food of the previous kings of the Zheng Kingdom will continue."

It can be said that Yuan Guo's treatment is kind enough.

As a result, Si Hong proposed to go back to ask for instructions, and asked the original army to suspend the siege.

"It's okay to ask for instructions, but it's impossible to postpone the siege."

Wei Tao thinks from the bottom of his heart that the monarch is a wise monarch, making the life of the people under the rule better and better, providing channels for any class to make progress without appearing pedantic.

The next day, Wei Tao was notified that he had been placed on the list for returning home.

Now there is no such phrase as "wealth and wealth are like traveling at night in brocade clothes", Wei Tao had the idea of ​​showing off to the villagers as soon as he learned that he could return to his hometown.

After learning that he could lead a "pawn" back to his hometown, Wei Tao's desire to show off became stronger.

Maybe, just maybe, Zhiyao gives enough treatment and courtesy to everyone who changes their own destiny, just hoping to show off more like this.

At the very least, they can inspire more people to want to make a difference, right?
