total war broken

Chapter 225
Stamping, horseshoes sounding, a group of black cavalry surrounded a big couple, wearing fur clothes, the Huns surrounded the big couple like a pack of wolves, looking very fierce.

Above Da Chou was Xiao Chuan, who had just received the order and had just finished the battle, and rushed to Henan, Nanyang, Henan, which connected to the chief envoy of Jiangnan in the north, or the main traffic route of Jiangnan Province.Jiangnan Province, that is, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shanghai later became Jiangnan Province in the Ming Dynasty and served as the chief envoy of Jiangnan. It can be said to be the strongest province in the country.

Several other important roads were blocked by Xuanda soldiers and horses, Jiangbei Zuoliangyu tribe, and Guangxi wolf soldiers. All Ming armies advanced together in order to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong who was leaving Sichuan.

And what he wants to go is the important road, Nanyang. The city of Nanyang is called Nanyang because it is located to the south of Funiu Mountain and north of the Han River. This beautiful city also had a special place in the Ming Dynasty. Meaning, where the Tang king’s fiefdom is located.

Zhu Yukai, king of the Tang Dynasty, who became Emperor Shaowu of the Southern Ming Dynasty a few decades later, became a poor puppet. He even hired the pirates of the four surnames at that time to act as a front because he had no military power.At this time, he had just inherited the title of King Tang, and he was still a standard unscrupulous prince of the Ming Dynasty. These princes of the Ming Dynasty were a bunch of waste who only knew how to eat, drink and play. This was the famous policy of raising pigs for the princes of the Ming Dynasty.

If these princes are known to have virtuous reputations, they are plotting evil intentions and often not ending well, just like King Qi among them. King Qin took his poor soldiers to the rescue, but instead was imprisoned for leaving the fiefdom without permission.He can be described as having suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Of course, this is just an example, most of them are daming moths who eat and wait to die and annex the land.At that time, King Fu was the richest man in the world, richer than the imperial court, but he didn't have to hand over any money, and in the end it was all cheaper for Li Zicheng.

For these princes, Xiao Chuan is not interested at all. They are just a bunch of waste under the pig raising policy of the Ming Dynasty.And how to flick out the vassal's money has become the top priority of his guest army.

Sitting in the carriage in front of him was a young general, dressed in iron armor and heroic. It was Wang Huaiming. This man killed fifteen thieves in the pursuit of the last battle, and he was personally received by Xiao Chuan.Said: "General, can you change my weapon?" He asked.

"No hurry, wait until Nanyang." After Xiao Chuan finished speaking, he opened the curtain, and saw Nanyang City in the distance. The huge city, the city wall was built extremely majesticly. From a distance, it looked like a giant dragon lying across the land. above.All the soldiers on the city wall looked listless. Seeing the black crowd of soldiers outside the city at this moment, they were all terrified, especially a group of barbarians among them.

The soldiers had never seen such an elite and large-scale cavalry unit. The Huns or the cavalry under Ogawa's command all frightened them, especially the cavalry unit surrounded by wolves. It makes people tremble in their hearts.

But it didn't stop him. It seems that even if he got the news before, a group of officials came down from the city wall. One of them was quite obese, and he presumably was Tang Wang Zhu Yukai, and the other was thin, with bright eyes, and kept looking at Tang. Wang showed a flattering smile, it was Liu Ying, the prefect of Nanyang, and beside him was an obese man with white skin, who couldn't see the shadow of a general in iron armor, that was Commander Wang Shuang.

The commander and the magistrate were surrounded by the king of Tang. When the three of them saw the army entering the city, they all expressed their admiration. Zhu Yukai's fat face was full of fat, and he trembled as he walked, pointing at the soldiers under the city wall, He exclaimed in admiration: "What a warrior, a warrior!" He said, and God pleases him immediately with incomparable relief, saying, "With such a warrior stationed in Nanyang, this king is safe!" From now on, he has been nervous for several days without falling asleep.Seeing such an elite army enter the city at this moment, my heart is relieved, the city has been defended.

"Hey, His Royal Highness Tang, I heard that this army has just killed the defeated Chuangjun Chuang Tatian, and killed Liu Guoneng!" Wang Shuang said with envy in his eyes. If I have such a strong army, I should have How nice, with jealousy in my heart.

"Hehe, then Liu Guoneng is just a bunch of thieves!" Liu Ying said, with a trace of disdain in his eyes, he was quite disdainful for this group of soldiers, they were just a bunch of thieves.

There were bursts of neighing from war horses, and bursts of strange roars from the barbarians. Looking at the hostile cavalry below, who looked like a pack of wolves, the king of Tang was trembling with fright, and Wang Shuang immediately came to help him , but his head was covered with cold sweat, and he was struggling to support the king of Tang who was like a fat pig.

"There are Mongolian cavalry!" Tang Wang said immediately, thinking the Huns were Mongolians, and he was terrified.

"This, I heard that he recruited barbarians from the sea," said Liu Ying beside him. As the magistrate, he was naturally well-informed and knew the specific situation, so he said.Tang Wang heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his brow.He said in a more relaxed tone, "It's true that there are few heroes in the world who can tame even the Mongols." He said, with such powerful cavalry guards, his city will be more stable, and he can continue to live a good life waiting to die .

When Da Chou entered the city and drove past the city gate, Xiao Chuan got out of the car.

"However, this Nanyang is not as tall as my Shunchang Fort's city wall." Wang Huaiming said with a curled lip, his eyes narrowed. The Shunchang Fort City naturally has a system bonus, and the building is majestic.

"That's natural. The officials here withhold money, so they don't have the money to build the city wall." Wang Heng said with a smile, and a group of people approached the city wall.

A few people came from a distance, it was the three Tang kings, the three Tang kings all came, and when they saw Xiao Chuan in armor, they all showed strange expressions. They never thought that this elite general who fought in hundreds of battles would be so young. All the young generals were shocked.

Xiao Chuan and the others hurriedly saluted the Tang king. Seeing this fat man, it was indeed a policy of raising pigs. Let alone such a person go to the battlefield to fight, walking is strenuous.

Tang Wang tried his best to force himself into a very ugly and kind smile, and said: "I want to compare the general to the general Qin who defeated Liu Guoneng in Jiangbei. Demeanor."

Wang Shuang, the commander on the side, had jealousy in his eyes and said bitterly: "Yes, General Qin is young and promising. He is more powerful than us veterans. It is really the waves behind the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead." Liu Ying did not speak, looking arrogant. .

"Oh, His Highness the King of Tang praised him. The defeat of Liu Guoneng was the result of the sacrifice of all the soldiers in the army, not my fault." Xiaochuan said. King Tang appreciated him even more. He looked at Xiaochuan with an indescribable light in his eyes.

"Your Highness, the soldiers of the next army have just defeated the Ministry of Liu Guoneng, and there is no replenishment of food, grass and military equipment!" Xiao Chuan said, speaking directly, and directly asked about the issue of food and pay.

"It's all arranged by the magistrate Liu," said the king of Tang. He didn't take out any money, and it was impossible to ask him to pay, so he immediately kicked the ball to Liu Ying.Then Liu Ying's complexion changed immediately, and said: "Your Highness, the treasury has long been empty. You know, some time ago, I helped the victims! I am an upright official, and I really have no money." The trump card of officials is to pretend to be clean. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen asked his ministers to donate money. As a result, the group of rich officials said that they were extremely clean and had no money in their families. In the end, they all took advantage of Li Zicheng.

Hearing what he said, Xiaochuan's eyes changed. If you don't give me money, what kind of battle do you want me to fight? He said kindly: "Oh, there is no food in the army. But the generals of the army collapsed because of the lack of money and food. When the time comes, Zhang Xianzhong will come to attack." , if this city is..." These words are a bit threatening, if you don't give me money, I won't fight, and you will be the unlucky ones in the end. It has nothing to do with me.

Wang Heng said at the side: "Yes, our army's sentry came to report that Zhang Xianzhong is likely to break through from Nanyang, and this place is an important traffic route." He added fire from it.

Liu Ying curled her lips, thinking of the punishment of those officials who lost their land was a burst of fear. At this moment, the Ming Dynasty was strict with civil officials, but lenient with military generals. She said helplessly: "I will think of a way, think of a way." He didn't want to pay money, so he said: "Why don't we let the families in the city come together?" He kicked the ball to the families in the city again.

King Tang nodded, he was also penniless. Although the princes of the Ming Dynasty were all good-for-nothings, they were more stingy when it comes to money, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not be so impoverished. , when the time comes, ask them to apportion the military expenses. My king is also in short supply recently, this." He wanted to find a reason why he was in short supply, but he couldn't think of any reason. He was silent for a while, and said directly: "Okay, let's have a banquet tonight, Qin General, you must be there!" He said in an extremely eager tone.

When it comes to money, he immediately becomes shrewd. It is completely different from the trash just now. He understands that military expenses are spent like running water. If you can let the families pay, let the families pay. You better have a tael of silver Don't even pay.

Xiao Chuan and his party were stunned. The magistrate pushed it to the feudal lord, and the feudal lord to the aristocratic family. I'm afraid that none of those aristocratic families would want to pay for it, but it doesn't matter. What about the dinner?At that time, there will be plenty of ways to let them pay together.

Wang Huaiming and others behind were all shocked. These people are so rich that they can spend a little money on their own military expenses, but what about them?Everyone is pretending to be poor, and they are unwilling to pay such a little money.

A group of people entered the city, and Wang Dazi was left behind to spy outside the city, spying on information, and the others all entered the city.
