Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Facts have proved that the records in the history books are completely correct.

The Rebellion of King Anhua was a farce from the very beginning. It was thought that spreading the message would fix the world, but as a result, the trilateral armies did not reject the rebels at all.

Annoyed, King Anhua ordered Zhou Ang to lead his troops to attack Fuzhou County.

At the beginning, it went smoothly. Several military land acquisitions such as Song Castle, Ninghua Castle, and Fubao were conquered in a row, and the surrounding area of ​​​​Ningxia City was cleaned up.

It's a pity that with the further spread of the front line, the troops dispersed and beat people with five fingers, but there was no effect.

At this time, the rebels began to fight for pay.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the military household system, and soldiers were not paid.The military expenditure allocated by the state only includes armor equipment, war horses and other materials.As for the food and drink expenses of the soldiers on weekdays, they depended on the military station.The problem is that there are taxes in the military settlements, and the officers have to earn a fortune from it. After a year of farming, there are not a few grains of grain left when it actually falls into the hands of the soldiers.

Therefore, once there is a war on the border, the soldiers will ask for money, and if they don't see the money, they will not go to the front line to work hard.In this way, there is money for starting troops, money for daring to die in battle, and rewards after the war.The war is over and the troops are going home, and we have to pay a sum of severance money, otherwise we won't leave and will stay in the war zone to make trouble.

Over time, a hidden rule has gradually formed.

Now it is the time when May is green and yellow, and the soldiers' families are in distress, so it is time to spend money. This is also the reason why they robbed and robbed Ningxia city on the night of the rebellion.

However, a border town like Ningxia is strictly a military fortress, unlike commercial cities in the interior, they are not rich, and the number of wealthy households in the city is limited after all.With what the officers eat, naturally there is nothing for the soldiers.

In desperation, King Anhua had to pay out of his own pocket and move the money from the palace to work for the army.

It's a pity that his money is limited after all, and the army is a money-hungry monster. After a few days of barely sustaining it, the palace is also empty.

After fighting for more than ten days in a row, the soldiers didn't get any benefits. They all went on strike and hid in the barracks all day long, eating, drinking and playing money.

Up to now, King Anhua has only controlled one Ningxia city and six or seven military forts around it, and its jurisdiction is only a thousand miles away, which is not as good as a prefecture-level city in later generations.

When he first raised his troops, King Anhua even fantasized that as soon as his call for action came out, the world would respond, and he would enter the capital smoothly.Officials and people from all over the country eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's teacher.

But I didn't want to, when I started it was very vigorous, and after only ten days, I turned off the fire.

It doesn't matter if the troops don't listen to the call and stagnate. If they want money, let's raise it slowly.But time waits for no one, and it's not about how to deal with it once the court reacts and when armies from all over the world come.Just because he can't command the army now, it exposes his embarrassment that he wants money but has no money, and he wants people and has no one.I'm afraid that before the army comes over, the Shaanxi army alone will be able to see his weak nature, and it is inevitable that no one will want to take advantage of the soft persimmons.

Thinking of the power of this, King Anhua became anxious.

Only at this time did he deeply realize that he was not Chengzu. The reason why Chengzu was able to succeed when Chengzu was in trouble was that he directly controlled an army of hundreds of battles. It is under his control, and the money on hand is gone, and the army wants money, so to speak, take it as you like.Compared with the ancestor Chengzu, he, King Anhua, is simply a beggar.

There was a panic in his heart for no reason, King Anhua knew that if he didn't take out the money as soon as possible, he would be in big trouble.

And where did the money come from?

When the army is dispatched, it is not enough for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

For now alone, King Anhua has more than 2 troops on hand, and he needs to pay 1 taels of silver for every day of battle.The ghost knows how many days it will take to reach the capital, and how much money it will cost.

Directly robbing the people is just a drop in the bucket. Ningxia is the border, and the Yinchuan Basin is full of military settlements. It is impossible for the soldiers to rob themselves.

Therefore, the only way out is to hit the affluent Guanzhong Plain as soon as possible.

The problem is, to hit the Guanzhong Plain, you have to pay money.

In this way, he fell into an endless loop. If he didn’t hit Guanzhong—no money—no money—he couldn’t hit the Guanzhong Plain—if he didn’t hit the Guanzhong Plain, he would have no money...

As soon as the troops stagnate, there will indeed be big troubles.

Seeing that there are advantages to take advantage of, armies in other places began to move around.

The first to attack was the Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief. According to reports from the spies, the Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief stationed in Shaanxi Town personally led [-] elite soldiers and marched northward.

The Shanxi Zhenjun was stationed in Guyuan, only four hundred miles away from Ningxia City, and it only took four or five days to travel quickly.

Because Shaanxi Town was the first target of King Anhua when he went south, he also sent a letter to Shaanxi Town when he raised his troops, asking them to surrender to the rebels.

Shaanxi Town's reply at the beginning was very ambiguous, and they didn't promise anything. They probably wanted to wait and see for a while.

Today, King Anhua has been tossing around Ningxia for more than ten days, but he is still circling around Ningxia City. Anyone who has led soldiers knows that soldiers are expensive and fast, especially this kind of rebellion must be fought in the shortest time. Going to the capital, a day's delay will be more dangerous.

Back then, when Cheng Zu Jing was in trouble, it took only ten days to sweep across the entire north of the Yellow River.

King Anhua...hehe...it's nothing more than an idiot, rebelling with him, isn't it heading towards a dead end?

This kind of idiot is naturally used to fight monsters to gain experience.

Therefore, Shaanxi Town was the first to attack.

Hearing this news, King Anhua was really shocked.

What is Fengtianjing difficult, what is the side of the Qing emperor, let's put it aside for now, the key is to repel the crusade army in Shaanxi Town first.

So, he called Zhou Ang to discuss what to do.

It's okay not to discuss it, but when he said it, Zhou Ang frowned in worry: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to repel Shanxi Town, they only have 3000 troops, we have 2 on hand, and we still fight on the mainland." , the right time, place and people are all taken. However, it is still a matter of money. If you give the general [-] taels of silver, the general will definitely make Shaanxi town come and go."

Worrying about a penny ruined the hero, King Anhua was angry for a while: "If I had money, would I still be living in Ningxia at this moment? I'm afraid I have already entered Xi'an, maybe I have already entered Shanxi."

Zhou Ang was also frustrated, and when he was depressed, a guard came to report: "My lord, General Qiu Yue came to pay a visit, saying that he came for the frontline war."

"Qiu Yue...let him come in!" King Anhua was stunned, he had really forgotten about this person if Qiu Yue hadn't come over in person.
