The purpose of Zhong Shiheng is to play a prestige and momentum at one time, and play the posture of a big country facing a small country.
Then he did it.
Within a day, even the three cities of Dali really played a majestic and imposing manner.
Also played some trance.
After the reorganization of the Tianwu Army, equipped with firearms, the combat effectiveness was a bit beyond his expectations.
While staying overnight in Dali and the border area of Song Dynasty, Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng discussed and took ten days to take down the three cities of Dali, and then waited for the officials sent by Dali to negotiate when they arrived. The fourth city is the area under the jurisdiction of Fengpa Department.
But in fact, they only took one day to break through the three cities of Dali.
On the second day, the three parties gathered their troops under the city of Fengpa Department.
Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng led an army of 30,000. As soon as they arrived under the Fengpa Tribe city, the leader of the Fengpa Tribe led their tribe’s 10,000 soldiers and horses and carried the white flag out of the city.
"Down?!"
Zhu Neng sat on the horse's back, scratching his head, and asked Chong Shiheng next to him with some uncertainty.
Chong Shiheng felt a lot of emotions in his heart, but there was no strange clarity on his face. He glanced at Zhu Neng and said faintly: "Probably we know that we have broken the three parts of Adu, Shama, and Shuanglin , Knowing that our soldiers are sharp and they can't stop them, so please take the initiative to surrender."
Zhu Neng sighed: "This battle is over before the battle is fought. It's really... not reconciled..."
In the past wars, the one who couldn't fight fiercely for ten and a half days.
It's better now. The battle plan for almost half a month was originally set, and it was done in two days.
Obviously, four cities were breached, but Zhu Neng felt like he hadn't fought.
Zhong Shiheng gave Zhu Neng a sideways look, and said, "Isn't it good to win the city without a bloody sword?"
Zhu Neng sighed and said, "Fortunately, it's good... but it's not strong."
"If you don't have any strength, we will hold back. Our goal is the entire Dali. At the moment, we only have four cities. There are countless cities behind that we need to break. Some of them are for you to fight."
Zhong Shiheng yelled at Zhu Neng angrily.
Zhu Neng pursed his mouth and did not speak.
He knew that what Zhong Shiheng was telling was the truth.
Many people in Dasong thought that Dali was small and pitiful even if it was a distance away, but that was not the case.
The territory of Dali, even if it is better than Xixia, does not give too much.
In addition to Dali’s capital, Yangjumei City, Dali also has eight houses, four counties, four towns, and thirty-seven branches. Thirty-seven of them are entrenched in eight houses, four counties, and four towns.
Among the thirty-seven books, most of them are autonomous and only follow the orders of the King of Dali.
At the moment, Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng have captured the Abdu, Shama, Shuanglin, and Fengpa, which are not included in the thirty-seven parts.
The city where the four branches of Abdu live is only a city under the jurisdiction of Jianchang Mansion, one of the eight prefectures.
The fourth department of Abdu is also under the control of Jianchang Mansion.
Therefore, Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng broke through the four cities of Dali, and they couldn't let Dali hurt their muscles and bones.
The purpose of Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng is the whole of Dali, so there will be more battles in the future.
Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng used blunt knives to cut the meat, so they had to cut the meat from Dali with one knife at a time.
The four parts of Abdu are their first cut to Dali.
Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng sat on horsebacks, waiting quietly for the leader of the Fengpa Department to come to the front, and after expressing their surrender thoroughly, they sent people to confiscated the soldiers and horses of the Fengpa Department, and then led the army into Fengpa. Inside the city governed by Pabu.
Into the city.
Zhong Shiheng dispatched Zhu Neng to lead troops and horses to arm the defense. He followed the leader of the Fengpa Department into the city's Guan Shi Yamen, and collected all the money in the Yamen.
Everything is cleaned up later.
The city to which the Fengpa Department belonged officially belonged to the Song Dynasty.
After nightfall.
Zhong Shiheng refused the banquet from the leader of the Fengpa Department, and the beauties sent by the leader of the Fengpa Department, and returned to the army account.
As soon as I entered the Chinese Army’s Great Account, I saw Zhu Neng drinking and eating meat in the tent.
Zhong Shiheng walked over and snatched a piece of meat from Zhu Neng's hand. While stuffing it in his mouth, he said to Zhu Neng: "We have to digest the four cities we have laid down as soon as possible to prepare for subsequent capture of other places.
When we sent troops before, it was estimated that it would take half a month to win the fourth part of Abdul and open the door to Dali.
Therefore, the officials sent by the imperial court to govern Dali are still in Sichuan.
When you send someone to deliver the good news to the officials, you will also send someone to Chuanfu, so that the officials sent by the court to us will rush to Dali. "
Zhu Neng got up, handed the jug to Chong Shiheng, and then went out of the tent to order the matter.
Zhong Shiheng drank and ate meat in the tent.
After Zhu Neng ordered the soldiers to deliver the letter, he returned to the tent.
After sitting down, accompany Chong Shiheng to eat meat and drink together.
The two were 70% full and stopped eating meat and drinking.
Zhong Shiheng said to Zhu Neng: "Fengpa Department surrendered without a fight. We have lost the means to deter the Dali envoys, so we must use other methods."
Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "Jianchang Mansion City is 30 miles west of Fengpa Department. We have 50,000 soldiers and horses, and we can rush all the way to Jianchang Mansion at noon tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhong Shiheng rolled his eyes, "After all, Jianchang Mansion is a city, how can it be so easy to fight? The soldiers and horses stationed in it are about 30,000, plus the brutal soldiers nearby, the number is very large. May be equal to us.
Now that we have breached the four cities under the rule of Jianchang Mansion, the city of Jianchang Mansion must have received news and made arrangements.
If we kill it now, it is very likely to be in the arms of others.
Therefore, it is not advisable to attack Jianchang Mansion recklessly.
If my guess is correct, after daybreak tomorrow, the palace lord in Jianchang Mansion will send envoys to negotiate with us.
When the time comes, we will give them a threat to scare them.
Then let the palace lord of Jianchang Mansion inform the king of Dali about this matter.
Wait until the king of Dali sends someone over to negotiate with us. "
Zhu Neng frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Zhong Shiheng continued: "It is easy to win Dali, but it is difficult to govern Dali. Since you have proposed a way to govern Dali people with Dali people, and the court has adopted it, then you have to follow the way.
There are not many officials dispatched to us by the court, and our military strength is limited, so we cannot take risks.
We have to wait until the officials dispatched by the imperial court arrive, and when they set up a shelf in the four cities of Abdul, and select some confidants who can help them manage Dali, then continue to attack the city and plunder the land.
As long as they can barely maintain the four parts of Abdu's city without chaos.
We don’t have to worry about a fire in the backyard.
Don’t worry about being cut off. "
Zhu Neng frowned and said, "But after the King of Dali learns about this, he will definitely send more troops to Jianchang Mansion.
The more troops Jianchang Mansion increases, the more difficult it is for us to attack Jianchang Mansion. "
Zhong Shiheng said solemnly: "We are using troops this time, focusing on a strange word. We use troops, to be unexpected, and hit them by surprise. The attack on Jianchang Mansion is naturally no exception.
We are the attacking side, and we have time and energy to choose where we attack.
Dali negotiated with us, negotiated with the court, and spent more than a month in between, and we had time to plan Jianchang City. "
Speaking of this, Zhong Shiheng added, "Of course, not taking the Jianchang City now is to avoid completely tearing the face with King Dali."
After listening to Zhong Shiheng's words, Zhu Neng frowned slightly. He nodded solemnly and said, "Tomorrow, I will dispatch the scouts in the general to explore Jianchang City."
"it is good… "
After discussing the matter, the two went back to sleep in their respective military tents.
Although the leader of the Fengpa Department prepared a comfortable place for them.
But neither Chong Shiheng nor Zhu Neng accepted.
As the brains of an army, they will never put themselves in danger when fighting.
Who knows if the leader of the Fengpa Department will pretend to surrender and prepare to carry out an assassination after they relax their vigilance...
The next day.
After Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng got up, they visited the camp and ate some food. They sat in the tent and waited for the envoys sent by Jianchang Mansion.
Wait until midday.
The envoy sent by Jianchang Mansion rode a fast horse to the city of Fengpa Department.
Everyone in Jianchang Mansion knew why Song Bing invaded Dali, and the envoys sent by Jianchang Mansion naturally knew better.
Although the conditions and reasons for Song Bing to invade Dali are very absurd in the eyes of Dali people.
But after all, Dali lost first.
Therefore, after the envoy of Jianchang Mansion entered the Fengpabu city, he respected both Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng.
Zhong Shiheng did not say much to the envoys of Jianchang Mansion.
He bluntly stated to the envoy of Jianchang Mansion that no one is qualified to have an equal dialogue with him up and down in Jianchang Mansion.
To discuss this matter, the King of Dali must send someone.
The envoy of Jianchang Mansion had to wrestle with Chong Shiheng.
Zhong Shiheng took him directly to watch a big show of bombarding Shimen.
The envoy of Jianchang Mansion, seeing a tall stone gate, shattered into stones under the bombardment of artillery, did not dare to say a word, and ran back to Jianchang Mansion griefly.
After that, the head of Jianchang Mansion sent someone a very generous gift to Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng.
He also told Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng that he had reported the matter to the king of Dali.
King Dali will reply soon, and hope that both Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng will calm down.
After Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng took the generous gift from the palace lord of Jianchang Mansion, they opened their mouths and asked for a more generous gift from the palace lord of Jianchang Mansion, and promised that they would never move Jianchang after receiving the generous gift. House city.
The palace lord of Jianchang Mansion was forced to give them a more generous gift.
After the two of them received the generous gift, they decisively contracted their forces.
Created an illusion of not moving the city of Jianchang Mansion.
Five days later.
The imperial court sent the magistrates who followed Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng to Dali to the city of Abdubu four.
Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng decisively handed over the four cities to the local officials.
The magistrate sent to Dali is not a good thing in the Song Dynasty.
All of them are thick-faced things.
When Da Song was in trouble, he was caught, originally intended to be exiled.
But Dali needed to hire people, so Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji summed up and dispatched them all.
Not only that, some prisoners exiled to Shamen Island, Yongzhou and other places have also received orders from the imperial court and are rushing to Dali.
Just because they are not good people, there is no good way for them to manage the new four cities.
The rules set by the court for them are simple.
Just two.
One, help the court earn money fiercely.
First, to maintain public order, when necessary, we can also deploy some armed and reliable manpower to help the court as thugs.
After they learned these two rules, they completely released themselves.
Why
Because the rules set by the court for them are the same as the ideas and styles they followed when they were officials in the Song Dynasty.
When they were corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty, they often followed the two rules laid down by the court.
Work hard to make money, cultivate a group of tongues and thugs, and help yourself guide speech, suppress the people, and kill people when it is critical.
Now, by letting them do what they like most and what they are used to, they naturally let themselves go.
The fifth day that the magistrate entered Dali.
They set up a framework to govern the four parts of Abdul, and recruited a large group of doglegs who are willing to follow them for the sake of the tiger.
On the sixth day.
The Dali envoy Yang Yunxian sent by Emperor Duan Suzhen, Zhengzhi Emperor of Dali, arrived at the city where the Fengpa Department was located.
Zhengzhi is Duan Suzhen's reign.
Not long after he took the throne, he ran into the Da Song soldiers entering Dali, panicking, and then ran to the imperial monastery and sought advice from the two elders who had renounced the throne as monks.
Under the guidance of the elders, he sent his young confidant Yang Yunxian to the place where the Fengpa Department was located to negotiate the matter.
Although Yang Yunxian was young, he came from a big family and had some talents, so he was highly regarded by Emperor Zhengzhi Duan Suzhen.
After Yang Yunxian arrived at the Fengpa Department.
Zhong Shiheng came out to meet him.
After Zhong Shiheng talked with Yang Yunxian, he knew that Yang Yunxian was a smart person, so he didn't go around with Yang Yunxian.
He decisively told Yang Yunxian.
Dali must give him a large sum of money for the labor force, and then send people to Bianjing City to plead guilty to Zhao Zhen. After Zhao Zhen's forgiveness, he will withdraw his troops.
After Yang Yunxian learned of the conditions of Chong Shiheng, he did not stay in the Fengpa Department too much.
Yang Yunxian returned to the capital of Dali and told Zhengzhi Emperor Duan Suzhen about the conditions of Chong Shiheng.
After Zhengzhi Emperor Duan Suzhen learned about the conditions of Chong Shiheng, he agreed without thinking about it.
He sent people to send money to Chong Shiheng to keep him steady, and at the same time, he sent people to bring a heavy gift, holding his petition, and rushed to Bianjing City to meet Zhao Zhen.
It was his confidant, Yang Yunxian, who went to plead Zhao Zhen for him.
Yang Yunxian brought a heavy gift, and it was already a month after he arrived at the capital of Song Bian.
When Yang Yunxian rushed to the city of Bianjing with a heavy gift, Kou Ji just finished the second transaction with Da Cannibal.
Yang Yunxian entered the city of Bianjing, and was invited by officials from Honghe Temple to the post house, waiting to be summoned.
Kou Ji was summoned into the palace by Zhao Zhen when Yang Yunxian entered Bianjing.
One enters the palace.
Arrived at Shishitang.
Kou Ji saw that the three of Lu Yijian had arrived long ago.
Kou Ji entered the Shishitang, and after giving a gift to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Fourth brother, the envoy of Dali has entered Beijing..."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Take a lot of money?"
Zhao Zhen nodded with a big smile.
It's no surprise that Zhao Zhen is unhappy.
After Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng invaded Dali, they reported to the court almost every day.
The imperial court has successively received six sums of money sent back by Chong Shiheng.
The biggest one was the one million penalties sent by Chong Shiheng to blackmail the King of Dali, sent back by the Dali envoy in one step.
Now that the Dali envoys have sent money back to the door, the court will use this to blackmail Dali a sum of money.
The imperial court gained a few pens through a simple war, and Zhao Zhen was naturally happy.
Faced with Kou Ji’s question, Zhao Zhen laughed and said: “The people at Hongxu Temple have roughly counted three boxes of jewellery and jade, one box of gold, two boxes of silver, six boxes of copper ingots, and a few other treasures. It is estimated to be worth a million pennies."
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and said, "Then you have to let Dali produce another two million pennies, so that the officials can forgive them."
"Is it one million lives per person?"
Lu Yijian groped his beard, groaned, and looked up at Kou Ji and said, "Is it too little?"
Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai nodded together, agreeing with Lu Yijian's statement.
The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
Da Song officials didn’t know that Dali was rich before.
So every time Dali gave a little something, they thought that Dali had offered a generous gift.
He also gave a thicker gift to Dali.
Now I know that Dali is rich, and under the squeeze of Da Song, he gave the money so happily.
The appetites of Lu Yijian and others also increased.
In their eyes, Dali has not been forced to be impatient, and has the value of continuing to squeeze.
If Dali hasn't been anxious, they can continue to squeeze.
Kou Ji lightly coughed, "Four million cans, it should be the limit that Duan Suzhen, the Dali county king, can come up with, plus, he might be able to build troops. Although Dali is very rich, the money is not all in Duan Suzhen's hands.
It's like our Da Song, with a lot of money.
But the money in the hands of the royal family is always a minority. "
Lu Yijian frowned and said, "What about next time? The next time the Dali King can't afford to pay, we ask him what he wants? Will the land be reclaimed?"
Kou Ji nodded, "Naturally... We have now occupied the four parts of Jianchang Mansion, and then if war breaks out again, we will occupy Jianchang Mansion City. At that time, half of Jianchang Mansion's territory will belong to me. The lower half will also be cut off from Dali.
When we ask Duan Suzhen to build the Chang Mansion, he will definitely agree. "
Wang Zeng stroked his beard and said, "Once my Great Song soldiers and horses occupy Jianchang Mansion City. The remaining land of Dali in Jianchang Mansion will be sandwiched between my Great Songchuan Mansion and Dali Jianchang Mansion City.
The Dali County King wants to control those places, he must pass through our places.
We won't give way, and he can't control those places.
He certainly wouldn't go to Song Xingbing with me for that little place.
So when I, Da Song, offered to cede the entire Jianchang Mansion, he would definitely agree. "
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "I have taken Jianchang Mansion and digested Jianchang Mansion. After our soldiers and horses have completely established their feet, we can repeat the same tricks and continue to cut meat from Dali.
If you use the same method to win another house, you should reach the limit of Dali.
When the Third Mansion was moved, Dali would inevitably face our swordsmen.
That's when we will use heavy forces to break through Dali in one fell swoop.
With the help of the naturalized Dali people in Jianchang Mansion, after we have taken Dali, we can implement the strategy of Dali people governing Dali.
Within Dali, wealthy families such as the Yang family and the Gao family can also be retained.
As long as they offer us a certain amount of money. "
Wang Zeng looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, "Aren't you afraid of those wealthy people sitting up?"
Kou Ji asked back: "If they don't sit up, how do we clean them up?"
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji blankly.
Kou Ji said frankly: "We only kept them in order to win Dali and calm Dali at the least cost. Leaving them is to set an example for other wealthy families in Dali, and let other wealthy families know that we are only To include Dali in the territory, it is not to eliminate them.
As long as we give them enough kindness, they will definitely help me Da Song and quell some resistance in Dali.
After I, Da Song, thoroughly digested Dali, I naturally had to be clear about them. "
Wang Zeng asked: "There are a lot of Wuman in Dali. How to deal with those Wuman then?"
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Wuman has different dispositions and habits from ours. If you leave them alone, they will easily conflict with the people who migrated from the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, we can give them money, give them food, and let them help me fight for Da Song.
There are quite a few combative people among them. As long as they do a little bit of tricks, they will follow our minds and help us to fight in the north and south. "
Kou Ji said in a few words, Dali's future arrangements have been properly arranged.
He has considered almost all the problems that can occur in Dali, and also thought of strategies to deal with all problems.
Now, it only needs to be implemented step by step in accordance with Kou Ji's plan.
After listening to Kou Ji's words in silence, Zhao Zhen looked at the three of Lu Yijian.
"What do the three Aiqing think of the fourth brother?"
The three of Lu Yijian looked at each other and shook their heads together.
Obviously, they have no objection to Kou Ji's strategy.
They also couldn't say any other objections.
Because so far, Kou Ji has been leading the Great Song's foreign wars.
The several battles led by Kou Ji basically achieved significant results.
Therefore, they are still convinced by the strategies Kou Ji has made in military affairs.
In addition, even if they disagree, it is useless to speak out.
The soldiers who are currently fighting in Dali are soldiers of the Forbidden Army.
The Forbidden Army was in charge of the Privy Council, and the military affairs of the Forbidden Army were not qualified to intervene in other yamen.
Kou Ji, as the clerk, can implement his strategy as long as Zhao Zhen does not object.
Even if other people object to it, it is useless.
When Zhao Zhen saw that the three of Lu Yijian had no objections, he slowly nodded and said, "Since the three Aiqings have no objections, then follow the instructions of the fourth brother. I will call back the Dali envoy, and the fourth brother and the three Aiqing are on the side. Come with me."
"Hey..."
