Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 9 The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms ([-])

The third year of the Han Dynasty

Six months later
Spring
Liu Bi, King of Wu, Liu Wu, King of Chu, Liu Sui, King of Zhao, Liu Piguang, King of Jinan, Liu Xian, King of Zichuan, Liu Ang, King of Jiaoxi, Liu Xiongqu, King of Jiaodong

Under the banner of "please punish Chao Cuo, take the side of the Qing Dynasty" as the banner, the seven vassal kings raised troops one after another, and at the same time contacted the Xiongnu, Dongyue, Minyue and other forces.

Jiaodong King Liu Xiongqu issued a royal decree, asking the Liaodong royal family to lead troops to Jiaodong and follow the army to "side the Qing Dynasty".

At first, Wang Taihao pretended to be sick and was away, and then repeatedly delayed the time to dispatch troops, never daring to be an enemy of the court until...

"What did you say? The emperor followed Yuan An's advice and cut Chao Cuo in half?" Wang Taihao, who was pretending to be sick at home, originally planned to send away King Jiaodong's envoy again, but he learned the news from the envoy.

The fact that the emperor had the heart to behead his favorite minister showed that he was afraid. Since he was afraid, it meant that he was not strong enough. Since he was not strong enough, he would surely lose in the war. Since he would lose in the war, then My royal family must stand on the side of the Seven Kingdoms.

Following this line of thought, Wang Taihao, who had been pretending to be sick and delaying dispatching troops, suddenly got up from the bed, happily expressing that he had recovered from his illness, and that he would organize his troops and go to the Central Plains to join the Qing Dynasty in a few days.

On the side of Qing Jun, it seems reasonable to also clear Jun by the way.

"Cousin really intends to stand on the side of the Seven Kingdoms? What if we lose?" Wang Ruojiao is still worried. She thinks it is best to continue to pretend to be sick and let no one help. The Wang family is weak and not suitable. Involved in this vortex.

"Guojiao, the emperor is willing to cut Chao Cuo in half, which means that the Chang'an court is almost unable to hold on. Now it can be said that I have the advantage. I don't send troops to take credit at this time. When the Seven Kingdoms enter Chang'an City, the king of Jiaodong will blame our royal family for not doing it. What if you are willing to send troops?" Wang Taihao thinks that the victory of the Seven Kingdoms is in sight, and now is a great opportunity to send troops to grab the credit and share the fruits of victory. The royal family of Liaodong will not be able to get the credit.

"No matter what my cousin decides, I will support..." Wang Ruojiao also felt that there was nothing wrong with Wang Taihao's logic, but she still felt that the Seven Kingdoms could not win. If she was on the wrong team in this whirlpool, That is beyond redemption.

Startled
Xu Township
Eleven Liaodong Wang family merchant ships are moored at the Harbor Wharf
Only this time, there was not much cargo on board, but many armored soldiers, horses, and serf soldiers.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time!"

A civil servant of Jiaodong King Liu Xiongqu had been waiting here to welcome everyone from the Wang family.

"I'm ashamed to say that I felt cold a few days ago, so I really couldn't come, so I hope you can give me some kind words in front of the king." Wang Taihao lied without blushing.

"Haha! Your Majesty is worrying too much. Your Majesty knows your concerns, and he won't blame you." The official also understood what was going on, but he didn't bother to expose it. After all, not everyone dares to participate in this kind of thing. It is normal to hesitate to delay observing the situation, as long as they are in the same camp in the end.

"Hehehaha——" Wang Taihao smiled awkwardly, then ordered the soldiers on the ship to disembark, and then ordered the serf soldiers to remove the goods from the ship.

"I didn't expect that Wang Zhujun would not forget to do business by the way during the war. He was really thinking about the Wang family."

"Ashamed, ashamed, the bitter cold of Liaodong can only be supported by doing some business."

After a while, all kinds of goods on the ship were removed, mainly animal skins, agate, glass, pearls, jade, ginseng, salted sea fish, and sea salt.

The marinated sea fish is produced by the fishing grounds established by the Wang family in the Liaodong Islands (those small islands connecting Liaodong and Jiaodong).

The sea salt is produced by the Wang family in the Chenyue Salt Pond. This Chenyue Salt Pond is located in the north of Wangjiazhuang. It was snatched by Wang Kang, the first Patriarch of the Wang Family, from the local Jianren tribe ten years ago. The blockade enabled Wangjiazhuang to use salt to fight against the Jianren in the mountains to the north, causing many Jianren tribes to kill each other in order to get the sea salt rewarded by Wangjiazhuang, so that Wangjiazhuang always maintained an advantage over the local aborigines.

As for many other goods, they are all special products of Liaodong. They are plentiful in Liaodong, but they are very rare in the Central Plains.

"Third Uncle, Ruojiao, you stay in Xu Township to contact the local tycoons, sell our goods this time, and keep these servants and maidservants as coolies."

Wang Taihao rode on the black horse, and after giving orders to Sanfang's father and daughter, he said to Zhang Long: "Take the serf soldiers, armored cavalry, and armored infantry. Let's go to the front to join the king's army."

"promise."

Zhang Long naturally understood what to do. Under his command, thirty cavalrymen rode lightly on horseback, and fifty armored soldiers also walked lightly on foot. They also bought many carriages and food from local tyrants, and put their battle armors in front of them. On the carriage, put the grain on the carriage at the back, and then let [-] serf soldiers guard the carriage.

Since he was the attacker, Wang Taihao did not bring the most distinctive longbowmen from Wangjiazhuang, fearing that they would accidentally die on the front line. You must know that every longbowman was cultivated by Wangjiazhuang with a huge amount of wealth and a lot of time. How could it be willing to bring it to Zhongyuan for consumption.

Naturally, it was impossible for the soldiers to march in heavy armor, as they would be exhausted after walking a few miles, so they could only put the heavy armor on the carriage, and then put on the heavy armor when they reached the front line.

Once there is an attack in the middle, let the serf soldiers go up first as cannon fodder to delay the time, and at the same time let the cavalry and soldiers take advantage of the opportunity to put on their armor to fight. This is why they brought [-] serf soldiers.

"Everyone, although you are all serfs bought by my Wangjiazhuang, as long as you make military exploits, I can release your status as serfs, lease some fields to you, let you be promoted to tenant farmers, and even have the opportunity to enter my royal family. Zhuang, become a servant of my Wangjiazhuang. If you have great military exploits, you still have a chance to become my private soldier in Wangjiazhuang. Pass down the lineage!"

Before departure, Wang Taihao encouraged the serf soldiers.

Immediately, all the serf soldiers swept away the gloom on their faces, replaced by eagerness to go to the battlefield and make contributions.

They thought that they came to the Central Plains to serve as cannon fodder for the lord, and their death would be in vain. They might as well continue to be serfs in Liaodong. They didn’t expect to have a chance to get rid of their serf status, and even become a noble private soldier of Wangjiazhuang .

During these years when they were serfs, they had to be envious and jealous of Wangjiazhuang's private soldiers.

He hated these private soldiers of the Wang family village as his minions who enslaved them, envied that they could live comfortably, and envied that their wives and concubines were personally arranged by the master of the Wang family.

Now, such an opportunity is right in front of our eyes, who can not be moved, so they cheered up: "I will swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"

Immediately, Wang Taihao went to the front with a total of less than 900 troops, claiming to be an army of [-]!
