Chapter 256
The staff had never seen Governor Yang so violent, he hurriedly agreed, and each went down to write the military order and commemorate. Bai Zhong praised Yang Ling's anger and his face, and he coughed and changed the topic: "Master, Jiangnan Fu In the world of Jia, looting a village here is better than robbing a county in other prefectures. From the distribution of pirates, its center of gravity is also located in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Therefore, Xiaguan thought that soldiers from Sichuan, Shandong, Hunan, and Hubei could be transferred to Jiangnan to coordinate with bandits. Most of the soldiers in the above areas were also familiar with the landscape of Jiangnan, and their tactics were similar. What do adults think? "
Cheng Qiyun glanced pitifully at Yang Ling's haggard face and interjected: "Adult wants to transfer troops into Jiangnan?"
Yang Ling sat back wearily on the chair, nodded heavily, and sighed: "Most Jiangnan soldiers are not good at fighting. At this time, they cannot train new recruits. They rely on their current strength to divide themselves into various places. They want to kill the unscrupulous pirates everywhere. How easy is it? So I want to transfer troops to help the bandits. "
Cheng Qiyun didn't want to impose a burden on Yang Ling anymore, but munitions pay was a key issue. She had always been in charge of this matter. Now Yang Ling wants to transfer troops to the south of the Yangtze River. Some things will be delayed because of military affairs.
She hesitated and finally whispered: "Admiral, the court can't afford the huge military expenses. You know, from last year to the present, the court used silver .... Jiangnan couldn't compare with the frontier, and the frontier pay was cheap. Most of the above provinces are soldiers of the guards, the military pay is already high, and there are additional supplements during the war. This military expenditure ... ".
Yang Ling listened blankly, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I don't know Chai Migui when I'm not home, alas! Why do so many things come together? If you give me a few years, as long as three years ... Three years, the court's The situation must be very different. Now ... ".
He gritted his teeth: "Although we must survive it! But military expenses ... Military expenses ..." He stood up and paced slowly.
There is no pay. Shout a few words that the country is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The soldiers should defend the country and defend the country. The slogan of the peace and security of the party, the analysis of the military and civilian waters, and the related principles are simply not feasible for the current army. How can they realize that, soldiers There are also families to support, but they are not enough to eat, and their families have no food to eat. You say it's blamed if you break the sky.
Cheng Qiyun saw that Yang Ling was worried, and said, "Adult, now that the situation is tense, if you drag on, Jiangnan industry and commerce and even agriculture will be greatly damaged, so the soldiers must be adjusted. But in order to save the military pay. The officers and soldiers of the garrison, and the strength of the officers and soldiers of the various garrisons are not yet known. "
Yang Ling smiled and said, "What do you do if you don't adjust the guards? Adjust the people's strength? It's impossible. They will leave their hometown and it's extremely difficult to dispatch. And the people's strength is not an army, and they don't have the responsibility of defending different places. They don't have this kind of consciousness. of".
Cheng Qiyun shook his head and said, "Adult, the inferiority is not about people's strength. It's not about officers and soldiers. These soldiers are definitely above the officers and soldiers, and their military expenses are extremely low, as long as they have enough meals."
Yang Ling doubted: "What soldier? Is it at sea ...... Has progress been made?"
Cheng Qiyun smiled and said, "You are also a wolf soldier! Adults can recruit Miao, Zhuang, and Tujia wolf soldiers of all ethnic groups. They have strong folk customs and are used to fighting in the mountains, jungles, and waters, and they are all natural hunters. It ’s no coincidence that guerrillas ambush. If these local soldiers come, you can reduce the number of officers and soldiers recruited. What do adults think? "
Yang Lingxi said: "Yes, it is a good idea, but in spite of this, can our current military expenditure be enough?"
Cheng Qiyun said frankly: "Not enough, not enough!"
"but…….". She hesitated. Tao: "Adult, the way is to come up with it. If the adult can tolerate a humble job, I must have a way to solve this problem."
Yang Ling stared at her for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay! My female Zhuge has never let me down. This time I believe you must have come up with a way out, then the official will go to the court first and ask for a transfer Soldiers, you put down other matters first, and focus on solving the problems of military demand and military pay! "
Cheng Qiyun smiled and clenched his fists, saying: "The humble office obeyed the orders, the adult said this, the humble office was exhausted, and the brains did not dare to disappoint the adult."
Zhengde is absolutely supportive of Yang Ling, he really can't get it out of money, and he didn't hesitate to transfer troops. Jiangnan is the root of the court, and now pirates are making chaos everywhere. If you continue to do so, it will endanger the court. It is still known that the Manchu Civilization and Martial Arts are still there, so no minister dare to bubble up to raise objections at this time.
Yang Lingdi reported to the imperial court at once, and received approval almost immediately. The Ministry's transfer order was immediately sent to Shandong, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou by six hundred miles.
As soon as Yang Ling received the court's reward, he hurried to the backyard, and the pigeons who flew leisurely in the courtyard flew their wings. Yang Ling flew away with big sleeves and walked straight in, Huo Di opened the door, and Cheng Qiyun, who was about to push the door inside, threw an empty space and planted it in his arms.
Yang Ling quickly held her back, and Cheng Qiyun blushed away, clutching her sour nose and smirking. "How can an adult walk so anxiously? If the humble job breaks, you have to rely on you all your life."
Yang Ling didn't care about flirting at this time. He waved the Ministry's message and shouted: "Qiyun, the Department's writings arrived. The provincial reinforcements departed to Jiangnan on the same day, did the military pay have an eyebrow? If the army arrived, it would not Out of pay, let alone let them go to war, the cop will worry about losing his hair just to deal with these riots. "
Cheng Qiyun gave him a white look: "That deserves to be, I've broken my face and I want you to look good."
She rubbed her nose upright, and said, "The humble office is going to see an adult. In the past two days, the humble office met with the prince of the government, Grand Duke Gu, and would also like Wu Lao, Xu Gongzi and other Jiangnan gentry and nobles. A method acceptable to both the court and the people. It is estimated that the military funds raised are sufficient to cover the military use. "
Yang Ling was overjoyed and said indifferently: "Tianci Qiyun and me, please speak quickly, what a good idea?"
Cheng Qiyun listened to his words, and his heart was sweet, and the days of hard work and fatigue were suddenly swept away, and he was busy and honestly said: "The court has no silver, because the war situation stretches several provinces. The business of our factory is also greatly affected. What's more, those who raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the silver market are also very poor. Nowadays, only in areas where wars are waged, taxes are increased.
This is a precedent. The area affected by the military disaster is the direct beneficiary, so it can be accepted by both rich and poor. After discussing with the administrative ambassador Liu Dagu and Gong Gong, and listening to the opinions of the representatives of the gentry and the noble family such as Wu Jiyuan and Xu Jing, they decided to levy taxes in the name of ‘emergency during wartime’. "
Yang Ling was hesitant and said: "In times of war and gangsters. Local officials have the right to review the situation, dispatch all manpower and materials, and collect taxes in the name of wartime. After that, they only have to report to the company. I now govern the military affairs of the six provinces. To make this decision, it's just that ... Jiangnan people who have been stricken by gangsters do not talk about their lives, do they pay taxes to the people? What if they are charged from other provinces? "
Cheng Qiyun smiled bitterly: "Does the adults think that the government and the hundreds of governments around the world have become" the world is the public "? It's all about nothing, not only people in other provinces have the resistance. The local government will also slack off, The only way to collect taxes is to collect them from war areas. This was also precedent in the past.
However, the old example used to be based on the original tax mark, which is undesirable for humiliation. The humility means that the government will first divide the people of the six provinces into ten ranks according to the rich and the poor, and collect them from the first rich first. Tax collection is enough for the army to use, then stop, if not enough. The reduction ratio is collected from the second-class rich people, and it is less than the reduction ratio to collect the third-class, and so on. With this alone, a province can increase the cash register by 2.5 million yuan, enough for military expenditure.
In this way, the losses suffered by the poor can be reduced to the utmost extent. The wealthy households suffered much more than the taxes levied because of the war. They are eager to calm down the war. So most of them are willing to accept. In addition, internal factories spread all over the world to ride horses, teahouses, casinos, brothels, restaurants to promote the benefits of lifting the sea. This has strengthened the support of the people against Japan.
Secondly, Grandpa Gu launched the ‘Resistance of Donation against Music’ at the Yamen City Special Awards in due course. Those who support the anti-Japanese peace bandits can obtain preferential treatment in various aspects such as maritime merchants and tax collection after lifting the ban on the sea. I believe it can attract a lot of gentry and wealthy people to donate, so that the extra silver can be used to continue to invest in the formation of shipyards and sailors, as well as the preparation of various maritime government agencies, so that it will not be affected by the war and delay the progress. The low-level test of the attitude of the local government and part of the nobles recognized all these measures. Even though some people complained, they could not take care of their urgency. "
Yang Ling remembered that before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, those stubborn eyes, refused to take out the money for military expenses, and sat in the city to break the penniless tycoon who made himself worthless, knowing that this move would definitely cause some gentry to oppose it, and Cheng Qiyun was only afraid of herself. Worried, so I deliberately covered up.
But even so? Even in normal seasons and normal taxes, are some unscrupulous gentry trying to delay or conceal taxes? Even if you turn over and give them money, I am afraid he still has to find some reason why my family has a large population and his family has a small population.
Yang Ling thought about it abruptly and said: "Yes, just do it. You come up with a detailed plan. I immediately promulgate the six provinces and report it to the cabinet. I am assured of this matter, and I will go back to the lobby first."
He looked at the pile of files on Cheng Qiyun's desk, frowned slightly, and sighed slightly: "Qiyun, if it's lacking, just rest, you're weak and you're tired."
"Yes, lord, lord ...".
Yang Ling turned around and doubted: "Is there anything else?"
Cheng Qiyun came close and said quietly: "A man has a beard until the age of 28, an adult with a weak crown, a very heavy instrument, and a clean place to shave his beard. But now the hair is messy, the stubble is green, and the cheek is She lost weight and lost her temper.
If the humiliation is sick, some adults care, and if the adult is sick, but I do n’t know how many are secretly rejoicing, they rule the six provinces. Worrying about it, fighting is not a one-time battle. You ... you have to take care of your body ... ".
She said that she gently touched Yang Ling's jaws in reluctance, and her soft little hands gently touched his short beard, her eyes sparkling. Yang Ling was shocked by the affectionate and unforgettable behavior revealed in her tone, and let her caress her own jaws and cheeks ...
Seeing that Cheng Qiyun was about to fall into her arms, Yang Ling woke up. He coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "Well, Master Cheng ordered, the official remembered that the official would never let some people rejoice. Haha, this major matter was resolved, and the official got a heart attack. . How about you and I have dinner tonight? The officer has been drunk for a few days. I will have a few drinks with you tonight. "
After Yang Ling finished speaking, he quickly turned around and slipped away. Cheng Qiyun raised his hand in the air and watched him get out in embarrassment, so that the white pigeon flew in the sky. Suddenly "poo" smiled, and then clenched his fists resentfully: "Afraid of being angry, want to invite me to drink? Who rarely eats your wine! If you want to eat ... just eat your local people!"
She rolled her eyes and wrinkled her nose. Smirking smugly: "Your biggest weakness is soft heart, since this girl knows this secret ... Yangling, Yangling, you are not saved!"
Wu Jiangcheng, because of its proximity to Suzhou, is the camp of the governors of the six provinces, Yang Ling. At the same time, Jiang Nandao commander Bai Zhongzan is also stationed here and is guarded by a large army. He had not been attacked by the Japanese pirates, and the defenders gradually became careless.
In the early morning fog, the sun had just passed through the heavy fog and entered Wujiang. The city was obscured by the presence of a large group of people. At this time, the fog was filled and the sight was less than a hundred feet. Check the situation of the coming person.
A small school climbed the city head. Looked down the city for a while. Unable to see the identity of the person coming, he shouted loudly and asked: "Who is the person under the city? Hurry up and declare your identity. Otherwise we will shoot an arrow!"
Answering him was a series of strange calls, then several arrows hit the city head, the small school was frightened, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps, shouting loudly: "Brothers be careful, the pirates are here! Hurry up and notify the guards! "
The sounds of war drums and clappers started to stir each other, and the whole city was turbulent. The city's guard Liang Xinghua knew that there were pirates in Jiaxing, Yuhang, Shanghai, Jiading, and Taicang, but they did not expect them to dare to go deep into the hinterland and kill Wu Jiang. Under the city.
Liang Xinghua hurriedly led General Liu Xi to eight people. He quickly rushed to the city of Xicheng to report to Suzhou City. Then he personally boarded the city to check the situation. This time Liang Xinghua couldn't help but be surprised. At this time, the sunlight was gradually strong, the fog disappeared, and the pirates under the city The horses and horses have been seen clearly, and far away, there are only a lot of people, and it looks like there are six or seven thousand pirates. How is this possible? How could such a large number of Japanese pirates touch the hinterland?
Liang Xinghua panicked, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to defend the city, and at the same time, he mobilized the troops and assisted the archers.
He secretly calculated that the walls of Wujiang were tall and thick. Although the Japanese pirates had the courage to be a hundred, the three thousand defenders in the city insisted that there should be no problem for one day. By then, the Suzhou army had arrived. Moreover, the Japanese pirates were wandering around and meeting the strong. The characteristic of the avoidance may be that when the siege is blocked, it will immediately move to the other side.
Thinking of this, Liang Xinghua settled down and directed the soldiers to point the artillery at the pirates, waiting for the pirates' first round of attack. The pirates gradually approached, and now a white-wained Japanese raised a fan and screamed a few words. A series of arrows of rain shot at the head of the city first, and then the brigade of the brigade rushed to kill it.
Judging from the arrows on the ground, most of them were used by the Ming and Ming officers and soldiers. It was thought that the pirates attacked everywhere and seized them from the killed officers and soldiers. The soldiers and soldiers of Chengtou immediately responded with arrows, and people continued to fall down under the city, and the cannons of the town also sounded. Dozens of Japanese pirates fell in the pool of blood.
This time, the Japanese pirates were forced to flee to the coast of Daming from areas such as Dongying, Yuyu, and Bungo. There were about 20,000 genuine Japanese. This time, their hometown was uprooted, and their wives, children, children and children were taken out of their families and placed in On the hidden island, the total number of Japanese Japanese reached more than 30,000.
More than 30,000 people have to eat and wear, and all the materials need to be looted from Daming, so this time the Japanese pirates broke the ship and attacked more than ever. Although there are only less than 20,000 real Japanese pirates, but they are attached to the Japanese, and they pretend to be a tiger for the Japanese, but they are several times more than them. Therefore, the total strength of the Japanese pirates reaches more than 60,000 people. Fortunately, these Japanese pirates are brave but not unified. Commander and leader.
This Japanese pirate was the stronger one of the Japanese pirates. The leader was the leader of the Naomi family who was a pirate for generations. Naomi Zhengzhi. He cunningly restrained his department and took advantage of the chaos of other pirates in other departments to attract the attention of the Ming army. The shore, directly into the big city of Ayutthaya.
Through his detailed work, he already knew that Suzhou had the governors of the six provinces and commanders of Jiangnan Road who were commanded by the Ming Dynasty. Suzhou City had more than 30,000 soldiers and soldiers. However, according to his previous experience, he did not feel that this Ming army was terrible. With his experience, against the Jiangnan Guard's officers and soldiers, his 1,000 troops are enough to deal with 10,000 officers and soldiers.
Naimei Zhengzhi is very long-term imaginative. Dongying State is temporarily unable to go back. It is not a long-term plan to always go ashore and plunder. Suzhou has many generations of gentry, all of which are prosperous. If you take a risk and break the city of Suzhou, then he will be plundered. The wealth can be used to buy countless warships, and become the king of all pirates and pirates, from now on to the sea.
With this consideration, Naimei Zhengzhi decided to lead the army to rush and turn a blind eye to the small cities and counties along the way. He traveled all the way to Wujiang City. Based on this, he attracted the Ming army to help, first destroy the reinforcement, and then take Suzhou.
The drums rumbled, and the Japanese screamed and rushed up again. The Japanese advocated authority and commanded by the commander. The war was to retreat without much consideration, and the attached false Japanese were also desperate pirates. They were also fearless to die. They held simple vine shields, table boards and bed boards. Shield, guarding a group of soldiers carrying huge beams of pillars to attack the city gate.
Several Japanese leaders wearing horned iron helmets and ghost masks jumped up and down, directing the pirates to attack. The city archers and gunners fired in turn, and the rolling stones were ready.
At this time, a mile outside of Xicheng, on the Diguan Road, the war horse servants who had their horse legs broken by the horse pit and the tripping horse rope wailed on the ground. A Japanese pirate pulled out the blood-stained sword from the back of the officers and soldiers, and turned to the earth-like Liu Xu. Weird laugh.
Several other Japanese pirates took off the clothes of the dead officers and men, dressed them one by one, and then walked to his side with a glorious appearance. A Japanese pirate laughed erroneously at Liu Jiang with a bit of Wujiang local dialect: "It turned out to be the boss, please ask Give the high name to the first name? "
