Become a feudal king from today

"Hahaha, the general has been worried about this time. He feels that the following battles are all losing money. Now, the general is worried too much. ReadМ" Chang Wei stared at the baggage trucks and grinned a few words to his ears. .

For him, King Yan still had more options.

If it hadn't been for this surprise attack, the city would have been invaded by normal troops.

The powerful and powerful families in Changcheng will definitely flee westward, and they will not be able to catch anything by then.

"In fact, if Wu State hadn't moved its capital to Bacheng, we should have captured more." Zhao Xu looked to the west.

This westward migration was the westward migration of the entire Jiangnan wealth, and most of the wealth was shipped to Bacheng.

Chang Wei also looked to the west and said: "Huh, these wealth are the people's anointing of Dasong. As long as Ba City is destroyed, we can get it back."

Clearing his throat, he continued, "Your Highness, when all the soldiers of the Third Army return and the people of the three states have harvested the rice, it will be time to march westward and fight the decisive battle with the powerful clans."

Zhao Xu nodded. The soldiers of the Third Army who went to Jiangzhou this time were the first to return.

But in addition to Jiangzhou, the officers and soldiers of the Third Army also went to Xiangzhou and Yuezhou.

If their actions go well, it will take at least more than a month before they can return to the team one after another.

At this time, the summer harvest should also be over.

During this period, the royal army had to be busy harvesting rice from the lands of powerful and wealthy families.

"But Jiangzhou has to harvest rice, right? This time we should really burn the rice in Jiangzhou to see what the powerful army will eat." Guan Tong thought of something and said bitterly.

The powerful clans kept the country strong and clear, making them very passive.

He really wanted to clear it up for them too.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei shook their heads at the same time.

Zhao Xu said: "The food in Jiangzhou cannot be burned, otherwise the people of Jiangzhou will hate us for it, and if we leave the rice behind, they will only hate the powerful people."

"Hate powerful people?" Guan Tong scratched his head.

"That's right, this time Changcheng and other counties have been wiped out by you. They will definitely impose heavy taxes on the people to make up for the shortfall. That will be the time when the sky will be angry and people will complain." Zhao Xu said, "In this case, the royal family's troops will no longer Entering Jiangzhou, the people will surely eat pots of milk to welcome the king."

According to the information provided by the Fourth Academy, when the people of the three states returned this time, many refugees and debt-ridden people from Jiangzhou had come with them.

The purpose is to live a life like Jiangbei.

But most of the people in Jiangzhou did not follow, not because they were loyal to the powerful clan.

It's because they can't bear to leave their thatched houses and thin fields at home. This is rural sentiment.

Therefore, they will not leave their homes until they cannot survive.

But when times get tough, they will definitely be welcomed if they go.

"It turns out that His Highness has already thought of it." Guan Tong laughed twice.

After chatting for a while, the three of them returned to Jinling City.

…

Bacheng.

The news that Changcheng fell and the people fled back to the three southeastern states also reached here.

Liang Kai was furious and summoned Luther, Brooke, Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an.

In the administrative hall of the palace, Liang Kai pointed at Wang Zian and said angrily, "The leader of the Wang family is just a straw bag. From Jiangbei to Jiangnan, he has come up with many ideas, but every time he has caused greater harm, Brother Wang is not me." Liang Kai won't give you face, this Wang She really should show his dignity to the public to thank the people for their anger."

Wang Zi'an was ashamed.

When the news came, he was restless. He had been strongly supporting Wang She for a long time.

I didn't expect such a big mess to happen this time.

In order to accommodate the three families, Liang Kaicai handed over Changcheng to their army for garrison.

Now, Changcheng has become like this.

But he was still a little unconvinced, because Wang She was just admonishing him, and in the end, even the British people agreed.

Han Zheng had always been very protective of Wang Zi'an, so he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, everyone decided this matter unanimously at that time. We can only say that this was a conspiracy of King Yan. We had to send troops even if we didn't at that time, otherwise we would march westward. If the 90,000-strong army really starts fighting, the city of Bacheng may not be saved."

Since the fall of Jinling, Liang Kai has become more and more contemptuous of the three families.

Hearing this, he didn't want to give Han Zheng face at all and opened his mouth to ridicule.

At this time, Brooke coughed and said, "Have you forgotten your oath to deal with King Yan together? How can you cooperate if you blame each other for this little setback?"

After a pause, he continued: "Winning or losing in war is normal, and errors in judgment are also normal. Just as the Han family leader said, King Yan's trick is to lure the tiger away from the mountain, no matter who he is, he will be fooled."

When Brooke said this, Liang Kai was speechless.

After being silent for a while, he said: "It's just that after all, Wang Xie has been in the past and can no longer be the leader, so let Xie An take Wang Xie's place."

Han Zheng, Xie Duan and Prince Anju did not dare to object anymore.

Moreover, Xie An is also from three of their families, so they can accept it.

Liang Kai saw that the three people had no objection and sighed, "My dear brothers, don't blame me for being harsh, because not only Changcheng, but also other counties in Jiangzhou have had their food and grass robbed. In addition, southern Xiangzhou, Yue The state was also attacked and suffered heavy losses."

"Next, there will be a problem with the food and fodder for our Wu army. This is an urgent matter."

Although Nanliang promised to sell grain and grass to them.

But Nanliang also has its own soldiers and horses that need to be fed.

In addition, annual tribute must be paid to Beidi every year.

It would be good if the food and grass provided to them could feed 400,000 soldiers.

Most of the food and grass had to rely on the collection of agricultural taxes.

However, the stored grain and grass were robbed. Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, and Yuezhou have many mountains and few fields, and they do not produce much grain. You can imagine the dilemma they are facing now.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, they will no longer be able to support this million-strong army.

"The only solution now is to impose heavy taxes on the people. I would rather the people starve to death than let the soldiers starve to death." Xie Duan said thoughtfully.

Han Zheng echoed: "If you want to survive this disaster, this is the only way."

"Even so, I'm worried that this is part of King Yan's conspiracy. If heavy taxes are imposed, the people will yearn for Jiangbei even more, which will be detrimental to the Kingdom of Wu." Wang Zi'an hesitated and said.

Liang Kai said: "Of course I thought of it, but even if I drink poison to quench my thirst, I can only drink this cup of poisonous wine. If we don't conquer, we will have to reduce the number of soldiers immediately, and the expedition can barely be maintained."

Brooke and Luther looked at each other and nodded.

They agreed with Liang Kai to do this.

Because they just want to drag King Yan into the quagmire of war as much as possible and buy Britain time to react, whether it is imitating King Yan's muskets, or recalling reserves to increase troops to the east.

Furthermore, they were not optimistic about the powerful army.

What matters more is the people of Rus and Beidi.

Therefore, they don't care at all how the powerful clan treats the people under their command.

I just hope they live longer.

Die now or die tomorrow, they naturally choose tomorrow.

Even if the price is to feed on the flesh and blood of Da Song people.

They even hope that powerful people will do this.

It would be best if all the people in Dasong died. Even if King Yan unified Jiangnan, he would still be in a mess.

It requires manpower and material resources to be restored.
