Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 252
Hei-toothed Changzhi is in charge of inquiring about the information of the defenders. He has many insiders in the city. As early as when Wang Wenzuo was still in Zhouliu City to pack up the surrendered soldiers, he had already rushed to Rencun with 1000 troops, and joined Shen Faseng who was staying in the camp. Immediately afterwards, he sent more than ten cavalrymen straight to the foot of the mountain city, shouted loudly to the guards in the city, and posted a notice on a big tree not far from the city gate: saying that he is the king of Fengbaekje County, Xiong Fu Yulong, the governor of the Jindu Governor's Mansion, came here to kill only the Japanese Abebirov, Fuyu Fengzhang, and Fuyu Zhongsheng brothers, and the rest of the soldiers were not killed as long as they were willing to disarm and surrender.Heizhi Changzhi himself took 1000 troops to hide in the miscellaneous forest not far away.

The Baekje soldiers in the city held their breath when they heard their cries, but no one came out of the city to arrest them.When someone came out of the city, the dozen or so cavalry rode away and led them to the side of the miscellaneous woods, ambushed everywhere, and defeated the pursuers miserably.Hei Chi Changzhi asked the prisoners one by one about the situation in the city, and then released them all and led the troops to retreat.

So at the beginning of the military meeting that night, Wang Wenzuo was the first to ask Hei Chi Chang about the number of guards in each fortress, who the generals were, his character and ability, and how much food was stored in the city. Seven or eight, even if they are not sure, they have made quite credible speculations.

"Very good, very good!" Wang Wenzuo nodded frequently: "I don't know something. You just said that the guard in the city is called Chi Shouxin. Now that Fuyu Fengzhang's brother and Amber Birov have escaped, if this person is loyal to Fuyu Fengzhang, Why didn't he escape with Fuyu Fengzhang; if he was not loyal to Fuyu Fengzhang, why didn't he open the city and surrender?"
.
"Report to join the army!" Black Chi Changzhi replied: "As far as the general knows, when Fuyu Fengzhang's brother fled from the city, he tried hard to persuade him, but Fuyu Fengzhang ignored him!"

"So he didn't guard the city to help Yu Fengzhang?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"Not bad!"

Wang Wenzuo pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Although he doesn't know good and bad, he is also a straightforward person. It is not a fluke that Baekje has been able to establish a country in Haidong for hundreds of years!"

When Hei Chi Changzhi heard Wang Wenzuo's comments, he didn't know what to say for a while, and hung his head in silence.Wang Wenzuo patted his knee twice: "By the way, I remember you mentioned once that there is a friend still in the city, what's his name—" At this point, Wang Wenzuo scratched the back of his head, obviously he couldn't remember the name of that person for a while up.

"That friend from the humble job is called Sha Zha Xiangru!"

"Yes, that's him." Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "If he can fight back at this time, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Hei Chi Changzhi smiled wryly and said, "When Fu Yu Fengzhang's brothers fled back then, Chi Shouxin led his soldiers and horses back to the main city. He opened the city gates and let those who wanted to escape go out on their own. , Those who stay in the city are all dedicated to defending the city, my friend is not in the city at all!"

"Where did he go if he wasn't in the city?"

"According to the message he left behind, he is going after brother Fu Yu Fengzhang!"

"That's how it is!" Wang Wenzuo smiled, "Forget it, anyway, it's the same with you to break the city! Now there are [-] Japanese soldiers outside the city, and they are all under your command." Wang Wenzuo paused for a while. : "I know that Chi Shouxin is a loyal minister, and everyone in the city is also a righteous man at this time. But too many people have died in this war, so let's use the blood of these loyal ministers and righteous men to end this war as soon as possible!" "

The military discussion was over, and the exhausted Wang Wenzuo was about to wrap himself in a fur and sleep for a while, when Shen Faseng came in again, and Wang Wenzuo asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Sanlang, why did you give that guy the chance to make great achievements?"

"Do you want to fight this battle?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"Not bad!" Shen Faseng answered frankly: "This is Bai Na's military exploits, otherwise Cui Hongdu, He Bayong and the others would also have achieved it. Why him?"

"Our battle is over!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head wearily: "I don't want the Tang people to shed another drop of blood, and I don't want any more Baekje blood on your hands!"

"That military exploit—"

"Is military merit really that important to you and me?"

"Of course it's important!" Shen Faseng asked in amazement: "Without military merits, how can there be official transfers and rewards? Isn't that what we came across the sea and risked our lives for?"

Wang Wenzuo shook his head wearily, crossed his legs, and pointed to the edge of the bed: "Come on, sit down first, and I will explain everything to you clearly. Let me ask you, this time the conquest of Baekje, what did you set up?" How many levels of merit can be transferred?"

"Sanlang, I was there for those few victories that you won with a small amount and a lot. If you are tired, it will be thirty turns at least?" Shen Faseng, who had already memorized his military achievements by heart, said with a smile.

"I'll count you as the 28th transfer, and report to the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials of Shangshu Province. If you are an officer, you are at least a fourth-rank captain of light vehicles!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, Captain Shen!"

"Where, where!" Shen Faseng was overjoyed when he heard that he could become a senior official of the fourth rank, his mouth cracked to the root of his ears: "Sanlang, your contribution will only be greater than mine, maybe you can become a guard Jun and Hujun (honored officials of the Tang Dynasty, respectively Cong Sanpin and Zheng Sanpin)."

"It's too early for you to be happy!" Wang Wenzuo sneered: "If you calculate according to your calculation, there are at least twenty captains of light vehicles in our army, and there must be captains of riders (from the fifth rank)." There are two to three hundred, there are thousands of Xiaoqiwei and Feiqiwei (from the sixth rank to the sixth rank), and the individuals are Yunqiwei and Wuqiwei (from the seventh rank to the regular seventh rank). Do you think this is possible? Are there so many fields awarded to us?"

"This—" Hearing this, Shen Faseng also realized the absurdity of his calculation of merit. According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, honorary officers were specially awarded to soldiers who had made meritorious deeds. It's just a matter of adding officials.If you want to become an official and participate in politics, you have to queue up in the Ministry of Officials according to your family background and background.In addition to honors, a certain amount of Yongye land will be awarded as an economic reward (25 hectares in Shangzhu Kingdom, [-] hectares in Zhu Kingdom, [-] hectares in Shanghu Army, [-] hectares in Shangqing Army, [-] hectares in Shangqing Cheduwei has ten hectares, Qingcheduwei has seven hectares, Shangqiduwei has six hectares, Qiduwei has four hectares, Xiaoqiwei and Feiqiwei have [-] mu each, Yunqiwei and Wuqiwei have [-] mu each.)
If this reward can be fulfilled, it is indeed very desirable. Take Shen Faseng as an example: he was awarded the title of Qingche Captain, and he was awarded seven hectares of Yongye farmland. It is rare to have so many granted land), and only one-fifth of it is Yongye land (which can be bought and sold to be left to future generations), and the rest is Koufen land (half of which is returned to the country at the age of 60, and the rest is handed over after death. half, cannot be bought or sold), that is to say, Shen Faseng can obtain the Yongye land of 35 adult men at once, which is already the scale of the property of a medium-sized landlord.
