Chapter 298 0293 [Alliance of the barbarians] (addition to the leader Gu Jianshan)

Pugu cage.

Due to Jumeng mobilizing too many troops to go northward, the villages in the southern river valley have been killed by the two Linman, A Zongman and the native Baiman.

There are also various small tribes who also came to take advantage of the fire to loot, and gathered nearly 2 people here one after another.

Yuwen often looked at the city wall and said with emotion: "In the decline of the late Tang Dynasty, it was possible to build a strong city in a barbarian land, and today we can see the achievements of the predecessors!"

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "This city is not very glorious, it has been beaten to Chengdu by the Nanzhao Kingdom."

"Finally win and counterattack, Tuotu triumphs." Yu Wenchang said.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the Nanzhao Kingdom fought all the way to Chengdu.

Just when Chengdu was about to break down, the famous general Yan Qingfu led his troops to rescue.The Nanzhao Kingdom was defeated, and Yan Qingfu counterattacked for hundreds of miles, regained Lizhou and Yazhou, and went to the barbarian land to build Xin'an City.

At this moment, Xin'an City is right in front of you.

The remaining troops in the city, together with the remnants brought back by Ju Meng, and the remnants who fled from the south, totaled more than 4000.The old and the weak, women and children were also drawn to defend the city, and the total number of battles was over [-]. It was really not easy to directly attack the city for a while.

Most of the cannons that Ju Ming transported were light leveling cannons, and now they are cutting down trees so that the carpenters can make heavy leveling cannons.

Pugu Cage (Xin'an City) is a few miles northeast of Yuexi County, which is near the ancient temple of the emperor of later generations. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The city is too small, too many people to waste.

Therefore, on the nearby mountain, Jumeng also set up a camp, and divided his troops to defend the stronghold, forming a corner with the city.

"kill!"

The barbarians are attacking the stronghold, and the daily battles have exhausted the defenders in the stronghold.

The Han soldiers did not go to help, but stared at the defenders in the city to prevent Jumeng from sending rescuers.

A few days later, Henan Man also came.

Qiao Huan continued to contact the barbarians. His new task was not to get many soldiers, but to bring all the barbarians to the alliance.

Baozhaiman and Fengpaman arrived one after another, they didn't bring many soldiers, except for the leader, there were only a hundred or so.

Especially Fengpaman, which is next to the actual control area of ​​Dali Kingdom, was deeply influenced by the Dali Gao family, but has nothing to do with Dali Song.

"Father, come down!" Ah Fan pleaded bitterly.

Ju fiercely shook his head: "The Han soldiers have already fought outside the city. What's the use of surrendering now? We can only fight to the death and defend the city with our fortifications. There is no other choice."

Just as the father and son were talking, cheers suddenly came from the north.

Ju Meng walked to the north of the city, and saw the barbarian soldiers coming down from the mountainside.Although they couldn't see it clearly, they understood that those people were celebrating that the Qiongbu Chuanman camp on the mountain had been breached.

Ju Meng also thought about sending troops to rescue, but every time he was blocked by the Han people.

Now, we can only defend the isolated city.

The moat outside the city has been filled by the barbarians, and several pontoon bridges have been built on the Qiongbuchuan River, and the bloody and brutal siege battle will follow.

Three days later, under the watchful eyes of the barbarian ghost masters, ten heavy leveling cannons and dozens of light leveling cannons were slowly carried outside the city for assembly.

The light leveling cannon was the first to project, and the shells weighing twenty or thirty catties were enough to deter the barbarians.

"That's..." The ghost master Feng Paman was dumbfounded.

A stone weighing more than 100 kilograms was put into the projectile bag, and the leaders of the barbarians couldn't believe that the thing could really be thrown.

The big ghost master in Baozhai was frightened. They live in the mountainous area, and the bunkers are the most solid.For hundreds of years, it has been invincible with the help of stone fortresses, so it is called "Baozhai Man".

If the Han soldiers could shoot stone bombs weighing more than 100 kilograms, how could they defend the bunkers of Baozhai Man?
"call……"

A boulder bomb flew out, causing a whirring sound in the air.

"boom!"

The stone bullet fell outside the city and hit the ground with a loud noise.

This time it was just a test firing, and it was found that the distance was too far to hit, so the ten heavy-duty flat guns moved forward collectively.

After 10 minutes, ten boulders were projected collectively.

Some fell inside the city, some outside the city, and only one stone bomb hit the city wall.

Ju Meng felt that the city walls were shaking and he took his son to move quickly.The defenders on the city wall were also frightened, or fell down, or turned around and ran away, and some people knelt down and begged the ghosts and gods for forgiveness.

It took four to ten minutes to cast the giant stone bombs, and the rotating rods of two flattening guns were cracked.

On the section of the city wall in front of him, there was already a thigh-thick crack.

Ju suddenly called the five sons, Jujiao: "You lead five hundred elite soldiers and go out of the city to destroy those Han cannons!"

Jujiao said in horror: "Father, those cannons are guarded by heavy soldiers, how could they be destroyed?"

The son was terrified and obviously unwilling to take up the task.

The fourth son, A Fan, said: "Father, surrender!"

Ju Meng said nothing.

That night, Ju Meng personally led [-] elite soldiers out of the city to attack the camp of the native Baiman.

The native Baiman's troops are not many, and the camp is next to the two forests.

These two barbarians were unprepared. They thought that the battle would be won and it was only a matter of time before they broke the city. They didn't expect that Ju Meng would dare to come out.

Jumeng's [-] elite soldiers actually smashed through the native Baiman's camp, and then went to the two Linman's camps.The two camps were in chaos, and countless barbarians rushed to escape, but they were defeated and fled for several miles.

Yu Wenchang came out in armor, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, I didn't camp next to the barbarians!"

Zhu Ming was riding a horse to appease the soldiers and ordered them to guard the camp before dawn.

The Han soldiers and the barbarians recruited along the way camped on the east bank of Qiongbu Sichuan.Henan Man and A Zong Man stationed in the northern cottage.

The two Linmans and the native Baiman who were defeated at night camped in the south of the city.

Zhu Ming sat and watched the friendly army collapse, and did not go to the rescue.

Ju fiercely fought for a while, and led the soldiers back to the city. He was covered in blood, and said with a grinning grin: "Finally, I got angry. I'm suffocated to death these days!"

Ah Fan asked, "What should we do next?"

Jumeng said: "Surrender at dawn, you stay in the city, I will go out alone!"

Ah Fan hesitated to speak, but finally did not stop him.

After dawn, the defeated soldiers of the two Linmans and the native Baimans came back one after another.

Zhu Ming ordered the whole army to prepare, and when the city wall collapsed, they would attack from three sides.

The Pingyi cannon had just been transported up, and before it could be assembled, Jumeng, the great ghost master of Baimandu, rode out of the city alone.

The soldiers did not choose to attack and let the man come on horseback.

Jumeng stood in front of the Pingyi Cannon, looked at it for a while, and praised: "The Han people really have skillful craftsmen." Then he said to the artillery commander, "I come to surrender, take me to see the Han officials!"

Everyone couldn't understand the barbaric words, but they guessed what they meant.

Not long after, Ju Meng came to Yu Wenchang, got off his horse and knelt down and said, "I admit defeat."

Yuwen often asked: "Why don't you open the city gate after admitting defeat?"

Jumeng said: "The prefect can cut off my head. I still have many tribesmen and clansmen, please spare their lives. If the prefect refuses to agree, kill me now, and my son will lead the tribe to fight for his life. "

Yuwen often looked at Zhu Ming: "This person is very brave."

Zhu Ming suggested: "Escort his whole family to the capital and hand them over to the officials for disposal. As for his tribe, give some to Qu Mang, and some to Sun Shu."

Yuwen often felt that this idea was good, so he asked Qu Mang to translate, and said: "The emperor is kind, your family will definitely survive if you go to Tokyo, and maybe you will be given a house."

Although Jumeng resented Sun Shu for being a slave to others, but when he heard that his followers would not be handed over to the feuding Linmans, he immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, the prefect, please let me go back and lead the followers to surrender!"

Yu Wenchang laughed and said, "I believe in you."

Jumeng rode into the camp alone, and then left the camp alone. It took half a day to prepare, and after arranging the funeral, he led the whole family out.

This city of Xin'an, built in the late Tang Dynasty, returned to the hands of the Han people again after more than 200 years.

But it will be rewarded again soon. There are no Han people here, so it is meaningless to defend the city.

Zhu Ming led his troops into the city to receive the prisoners, and ordered that all the Pingyi guns be destroyed, so that the barbarians could not learn their skills.

While he was counting the property, Deng Chun came to report on horseback: "The county lord, Li Shunen, the great ghost lord of the two forests, led troops into the city to plunder the property, and is still killing the surrendered Chuanmen of Qiongbu! There is still a follower all the way." Our barbarians are also looting around the city."

"damn it!"

Zhu Ming didn't let the two forestry departments enter the city and also ordered the wild riders not to rob, and now everyone is disobedient.

Zhu Ming called more than 20 Han cavalry around him, galloped on the street, and chopped down when he saw any barbarians looting.

He hacked and killed more than a dozen people in succession, and finally suppressed the looters.

"Li Shunen, you are so courageous!" Zhu Ming shouted.

The ghost masters of the two forests quickly got off their horses, knelt down and said: "These thieves from the Qiong tribe killed many of my tribe last night, and I will not be happy if I don't kill a few to come back!"

Zhu Ming said angrily, "You still have the nerve to talk about this? You brought more than 3000 soldiers, but the camp was robbed by hundreds of people, and you escaped for a few miles. I didn't see your contribution in the war, but you were more active in robbery than anyone else! Say yes In order to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, you violated orders and entered the city to plunder, so don’t even try to get so many rewards!”

Li Shunen was upset, but he didn't dare to talk back.

The county magistrate in front of him was the one who led the troops to defeat Jumeng.

Li Shunen has already found out that the Han Chinese coach is Yu Wenchang on the surface, but it is Zhu Ming who is actually leading the troops.

Li Shunen kowtowed repeatedly, was reprimanded by Zhu Ming, and led his troops away in despair.

Another day later, Qiao Huan came with the leaders of Qingqiang and Miqiang.

Except for the five tribes, all the tribes in Lizhou have basically arrived, and only a few small tribes of slash-and-burn farming are left in the mountains.

On behalf of the Song court, Yu Wenchang slaughtered cattle and sheep outside Xin'an City to form an alliance with the barbarians and redesignate the forces of the barbarians.

First: Pugu Cage restored its old name and changed it to Xin'an City.

The great ghost leader of the Sichuan barbarians in Qiongbu, Qu Mang, was the first to send troops to help the government kill the thieves, and he contributed the most among the barbarians.

Xin'an City and the [-] surrounding villages were all rewarded to Qumang.

Second, Luo Luolong was renamed Pingyi City.

Sun Shu and the Han people under his command made great contributions, flattened the city and [-] surrounding villages, and rewarded Sun Shu and the Han people under his command.

Thirdly, the Henan Man made a great contribution, crossing the valley on the south bank of the river, and rewarding the Henan Man to restore their original territory. (These are Shuyi, with a high degree of Sinicization.)
Fourth, the two Linmans were awarded ten villages. They could have been rewarded more, but Li Shunen violated the order and entered the city to plunder. (In fact, they deliberately suppressed the two Linmans, fearing that their family would dominate.)
Fifth, the indigenous Baiman was awarded [-] villages.

Sixth, A Zongman was awarded ten villages.

No matter how many territories these tribes have seized before, they have to obey the distribution honestly, and they have to spit out what they eat.

Fengpa Man, Baozhai Man, Qing Qiang, and Mi Qiang, these tribes came late, and sending troops was negligible, and they only rewarded some cloth randomly.

All the tribes of barbarians, as well as the five tribes of barbarians who have not come, all have to send representatives to Tokyo to face the saint.

Seeing that Li Shunen was a little unconvinced, Yu Wenchang said again: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to canonize three great ghost masters of Baimandu. Miwang."

The three hundred barbarians are all big ghost masters?

The barbarian leaders looked at each other in blank dismay. This news meant that they had three emperors at the same time.

Who should I listen to in the future?

"Thank you prefect!" Mi Wang jumped out and kowtowed.

The native Baiman was weak, so he took advantage of the situation to loot without courage. Not only was he rewarded with [-] villages, but he even got a ghost master in Baimandu.

Overjoyed, like winning a lottery prize, Mi Wang will be the most loyal among the three great ghost masters of Baimandu.

He must be loyal, otherwise it will be difficult to keep his position!

This arrangement was the result of repeated discussions between Yu Wenchang and Zhu Ming.

Sun Shu and Henan Man are in the north, serving as a barrier force in Lizhou.They were also responsible for speeding up the process of Sinicization and received many captives from the barbarians as rewards.

The three great ghost masters of Baimandu restrained each other in the south.

The rest of the barbarians are too remote to consider for the time being.

Lizhou.

Lin Bing, who was sitting in the rear, got the news more than ten days later, and immediately sent a victory report to the imperial court to ask for credit.

In the good news, Lin Xing is the coach, and all actions are planned by him.

Of course, Yu Wenchang and Zhu Ming are the executors, and there is really no way around this.

But inexplicably, some more officers appeared, and they made great contributions in conquering the barbarians.The origins of these officers are very strange. They are clearly in the Gyeonggi area, but they have made military exploits in Lizhou out of thin air.

Yu Wenchang's victory report document also mentioned many meritorious soldiers, whose names were all erased by Lin Bing.

Including Deng Chun, Zhang Tong, Li Bao, Guan Sheng, and Yu Dian, the commander of the Lizhou Xiang Army, all their contributions were robbed, and there was nothing left.

A traitor is a traitor after all!

(The weather in the last chapter, when Pharaoh checked the information, not only the encyclopedia information was written like that, but even the local government propaganda website. I copied it without thinking too much. After reading your chapter, I found that there is no such climate type.)
(In addition, Liangshan Prefecture is "dry in the south and wet in the north, moist in the east and dry in the west", and has a very complicated climate. It was hot and humid because of the war in the northern valley.)
