Chapter 60 Dragon City Flying General ([-])

Monan Grassland
Dragon City
This is the place where the Xiongnu Shanyu offered sacrifices to heaven, and its position in the Xiongnu is second only to Shanyuting. If Shanyuting is the military center and political center of the Xiongnu, then Longcheng is the cultural center and economic center of the Xiongnu.

"kill!!!"

Tens of thousands of chariots and cavalry mixed into the Han army appeared in a fish-scale formation and rushed into the weakly defended Dragon City.

In the fish-scale array, the chariots are arranged in several rows, and each row of chariots is behind the gap between the previous row of chariots. Between the chariots and the chariots are many Han army infantry holding long spears to assist. , is the cavalry of the Han army. Seen from above, the entire army formation looks like densely packed fish scales, so it is called the fish scale formation.

The fish-scale array should be regarded as a kind of coordinated tactics of the big man.

Dragon City, on the other hand, is a rare and simple city for the Huns, in which a large number of nobles of the Huns live, hoarding a large amount of wealth that the Huns plundered from the Han.

But the main force of the Xiongnu went to besiege Li Guang and others, so there were very few Xiongnu troops in Longcheng, and they were broken after only holding on for a while.

Although it was called Dragon City, the Huns did not build a city after all. This Dragon City actually surrounded the pasture with a circle of stones. The height of the stone wall was about the same as a person's height.

"Han army! It's the Han army!"

"Run!"

"How dare they come to attack Dragon City? Aren't they afraid that they will be wiped out by Shan Yu after the lone army goes deep?"

The Xiongnu nobles in the city were very puzzled. They fled in a hurry on their horses, leaving a large amount of livestock, wealth, and slaves for the Han army to plunder.

"Kou can go, so can I!"

Wei Qing was full of pride. In the past, it was the Huns who robbed the Han people. Today, it is finally the turn of the Han people to rob the Huns. This is a turning point in the Han-Hungarian situation.

Kenohun, who already regarded himself as a spiritual Han, was even more merciless when he killed the Huns. In order to prove to Wei Qing and Wang Changzhi that he truly submitted to the big man, Kenohun frantically slaughtered his fellow Huns, and even the surrounding people The soldiers of the Han army were all dumbfounded.

They slaughtered the Huns, firstly for military merit, and secondly to avenge the Han compatriots, but this Kenohun killed the Huns more ferociously than the Han people, it is really terrible.

"Li Guang, Gongsun He, and Gongsun Ao, these three deserve to die! They lost their troops and fled without fighting!"

"Wei Qing and Wang Changzhi, the lone army captured the Dragon City of the Huns and plundered a large number of livestock and slaves for our big man. They should be rewarded! Rewarded!"

Chang'an City is Weiyang Palace

Emperor Liu Che, who watched the frontline battle report, was angry and happy. He was angry because Li Guang and others who were entrusted by him with important tasks lost their troops and lost their generals. With a partial division in charge of containment, they captured the Huns Dragon City, which became the biggest victory since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

"Read out my decree, Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, and Gongsun He will be sentenced to death, Wei Qing, a senior official of the Taizhong, will be promoted to the Marquis of Guannei, Wang Changzhi, the lieutenant of Feihu, will be promoted to a servant, and the Marquis of the Bauhinia Army Zhang Cigong will be promoted. Captain, Jin Jue You Shu Zhang!"

"No!" The eunuch replied.

……

Soon after, Li Guang, Gongsun He, and Gongsun Ao spent a lot of money to atone for their sins. Emperor Liu Che, who was in desperate need of money to fight the Huns, exempted the three from death and demoted them to common people for the sake of money.

At the same time, Emperor Liu Che also discovered many problems in this battle.

First, the generals of the Han army are accustomed to defending and are not used to taking the initiative to attack. Therefore, this time they took the initiative to attack the Huns, and there will be three defeats and one victory. Only Wei Qing won by sneak attack. Frightened, he ran back to Handi.

Second, the cooperation between officers and soldiers is not tacit enough, and the cooperation between generals and officers is not good enough. Many soldiers are illiterate and cannot understand semaphore. There were also incidents of drinking soldiers' blood.

Third, it was the first time that the Han army took the initiative to attack. Unexpectedly, the pressure on the logistics of food and grass was so great. After the first battle, it consumed a huge amount of wealth in the treasury.

Aiming at the various problems that arose during the First Battle of Dragon City, Emperor Liu Che formulated corresponding solutions in his mind.

Regarding the lack of tacit cooperation between generals, officers, and soldiers, we can only increase investment in the army, increase the food and treatment of soldiers, and let them spend more time on training, from five trainings per month to ten per month. training, even twenty trainings per month.

As for the problem of low-level soldiers who are uneducated, illiterate, and unable to understand semaphore, we can only increase investment in the army, and recruit those depressed and powerful gentry children to serve as teachers in the army at a high price, teaching soldiers to read And know the semaphore.

For generals and officers beating soldiers and drinking their blood, on the one hand, we should strengthen supervision, on the other hand, we should also increase investment in the army and improve the treatment of soldiers, because some officers have to drink soldiers' blood because their salaries are too low.

No matter what kind of problem you want to solve, you must increase investment, but the money in the treasury is limited, and it takes a lot of money to solve these problems. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, if you don’t want to find a way to make money, don’t fight the Huns in the future. Bankruptcy right from the start.

Thinking about this, Emperor Liu Che conceived ways to make money one by one in his mind. First of all, he moved the tyrants of the world's prefectures to Chang'an. The family property is filled into the treasury.

Emperor Wen Jing has done this kind of thing many times, but the scale is not large, and he has always come here occasionally.

In fact, many restructuring policies that Emperor Liu Che could think of were already in place during the period of the Second Emperor Wenjing, but the central government was too weak during the period of the Second Emperor Wenjing. become a fixed system.

Emperor Liu Che's method was to turn the occasional policies of suppressing powerful and princes during the period of Emperor Wen and Jing into long-term policies, or even a fixed system.

However, before relocating the tyrants, it is necessary to investigate how much the tyrants' property is.

Otherwise, if the forced relocation starts now, the powerful will definitely cry that they are poor ghosts, and find all kinds of excuses to cry poor and refuse to move to Chang'an.

Therefore, Emperor Liu Che decided to send his visitors to various counties and counties to secretly investigate the approximate family property of each tycoon. When these tyrants migrated in the future, the evidence was in front of them, and it was useless for them to find excuses to cry poor.

In addition, the taxation on merchants has to be increased, and merchants can no longer pay one-fifteenth of the low tax as before, which is the same as that of farmers.

In order to fight wars with money in the treasury, businessmen must be hit hard!Tax them heavily!Straight to the seventh floor!snort!

The tenant farmers of the tyrants have to pay seven tiers, but the merchants in my big man pay seven tiers to my court, isn't it too much?
There are also salt and iron, these are huge profits, and must be managed by my Han court to make profits!

Now there are too few types of taxes for tycoons and businessmen, and they only pay land tax, poll tax, and customs tax, which is simply unreasonable!
These tyrants have so many slaves in captivity, and the slaves can work for them to make money, so they have to create a slave tax. Whoever has more slaves in the family will pay more tax.

Not only the tax on slaves and maidservants, but also the tax on tenant farmers. Whoever has more tenant farmers must pay more taxes.

There is also a tax on vehicles and boats. The rich and powerful with cars and boats at home have to pay more taxes.

There is also a house tax to be paid. If the family has a lot of big houses or houses, they have to pay more taxes.

Anyway, most of the officials are tyrannical, so we simply let the officials also pay the official tax. Officials can receive the imperial salary, but they have to deduct more than half of the salary as the official tax.

Emperor Liu Che swiped his pen on the bamboo slips and wrote down one method after another to make money for the treasury. He was very happy. As long as these methods were implemented, would he still worry about having no money to fight the Huns?

At the same time, Wang Tairan of the study was writing on the cotton paper: "Heavy armor can be sold to North Korea, but it must be sold in bundles. When North Korea buys heavy armor, it must send ginseng, pearls, agate, silk, tea, Animal skins, wine, food, etc. are all bought together, otherwise we will never sell the armor. Oh, yes, the heavy armor we sell is the monkey version. We cut corners on the basis of the heavy armor we wear to weaken the defense. We must not allow people outside to wear more powerful armor than our Wang family, and the Wang family must always maintain an advantage in equipment."

After finishing writing, he sealed the wadding paper in a sackcloth bag, and ordered a soldier beside him to deliver the letter to Wang Taiyang.

"Yes." The soldier agreed, and then retreated.

When the soldiers left the study, Wang Tairan checked the changes of the gold finger again.

[Achievement 2: Dragon City Flying General: The movement speed of family members on the grassland increases by 10%]

Dragon City Flying General originally increased the grassland movement speed by 5%, but because it is the same type of achievement as Assault on the Grassland, the two achievements were directly merged, and the effects were also superimposed.
