Chapter 499 Guerrilla Warfare, Sparrow Warfare

After returning to the cabinet, the anger that appeared on the faces of the four parties and a group of people disappeared in an instant, and Fang Congzhe said indifferently: "From this point of view, this Wang Xuan is indeed just forcing the palace, and there is no other meaning for the time being."

"Basically, I'm sure. However, everyone, this time the kid surnamed Wang succeeded. It's hard to guarantee that he won't continue to make excessive demands. Therefore, there must be countermeasures." Gao Panlong stroked his beard and said.

"Indeed, with that kid's disposition, he will definitely make progress, but we can't retreat again and again." Wu Liangsi nodded in agreement.

"It is certain to tidy up the guards, and we can no longer hesitate. However, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst. We still have to mobilize some frontier troops to the border, and we must deter them."

"That's a good idea, how much to transfer?"

"This time he dispatched an army of [-], and, according to the information I received, his newly trained soldiers are extremely elite. I am afraid that if there are fewer, they will not be able to match him!"

"That's what I said, but the total number of frontier troops is only 50 on the books, which is actually not that much! Once too many people are deployed, the border will be unstable, and if the border is unstable, the capital will be unstable!"

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing." Fang Congzhe raised his hand to stop everyone from arguing, and said slowly: "Three aspects will start together, first, the three provinces will rectify the guards, and second, all the current guards will be transferred to On the border, thirdly, mobilize [-] frontier troops and [-] troops per province to meet urgent needs.”

Guan Yingzhen opened his mouth. He felt that Huguang's geographical location was more important, and he must divide more frontier troops, but in the end he gave up. People from the other two parties would not agree. As for the Qi Party, they watched the show from beginning to end. It was silent.

Obviously, Qi Shi taught that the old fox didn't want to offend Wang Xuan. Anyway, the land in Jiangbei was relatively barren, and it wouldn't be a great climate. At worst, he would surrender in the end. This kind of thing, the Qilu land headed by the Confucius Mansion, has already done it freely.

Speaking of it, Wang Xuan's series of operations in the past few years have caused a chain reaction to the world's major events. Because Wang Xuan moved the population of Liaodong, Fujian listened to the tune but did not listen to the announcement, Annan invaded, etc., the imperial court was unable to mobilize Sichuan, Gansu, Zhejiang, etc. , Fujian and other provinces to reinforce Liaodong, which led to the defeat of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of this year. The battle of Sarxu did not take place at all.

As for the future, not only will the frontier army not receive support, but they will have to mobilize [-] real troops to go to the three provinces, and they will not be able to carry out any counter-offensive. The fate of Jurchens missed several good development opportunities.

……

After a while, I don't know how Fang Congzhe and others persuaded Emperor Wanli, or simply issued a decree according to Wang Xuan's request, conferring the title of Marquis of Qi Hongliang Dingnan without telling the emperor lying on the hospital bed, The fief, which is half the size of the province south of Annan, is indeed a real fief. The land, population, and laws are all ignored by the imperial court. All of them are determined by the Qi Hongliang family themselves, but part of the tax is paid every year.

In addition, Qi Xinghui and Di Haokuo, the two earliest generals who followed Wang Xuan, were also made earls, and the combined land of the two was half the size of Qi Hongliang.

Only this fief issue, Fang Congzhe and others really wondered for a long time when they learned about it from Li Shantang.

This is different from what they expected. They thought it was a fake name, just a simple name. They never expected that it would be a real name, and it was on such a distant foreign land. They really couldn't understand Wang Xuan. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

Anyway, after the decree came down, the world shook violently a few times, Wang Xuan quickly withdrew his soldiers, and the prices in the capital also began to fall back to their original state. The world seemed to have returned to calm again. The reason why the land didn't send troops to attack Daming this winter was that when Wang Xuan bought supplies, he mainly traded grain, and every family was well fed, so the idea of ​​going out to fight and fighting was not so urgent. Even Nurhachi, the hero of a generation, can't control him.

It's just that after the beginning of spring, there are many smaller ships in the large fleet returning from the Wa Kingdom. If there are people who are familiar with the Wa Kingdom here, they can see that these are the ships of the Wa Kingdom, and they belong to the pirates of the Wa Kingdom. customary vessel.

This group of people was the sea merchants from Nanzhili and Zhejiang who went to the Wa country before winter. At this moment, they returned with more than 8000 people sent by the Tokugawa shogunate.

In order to impress the Tokugawa family, a total of 80000 catties of various iron materials were paid this time. According to the weight of the Japanese standard samurai sword at this time, it can be equipped with more than 1 people. If it is an ordinary spear ashigaru, it can be equipped with 4 people. For example, for the Japanese country that lacks iron ore, the strength of the Tokugawa family has greatly increased!

Even so, the equipment for these 8000 people needs to be provided by the aristocratic families of the two places after the daimyo arrives, and they all come empty-handed.

……

"My lord, I received news today that Japanese pirates invaded the shores of Xiaoliuqiu and Fujian again, and the losses were not small. There were also three incidents of robbery of merchant ships at sea. Fortunately, one of them ran away, and the other two were gone. A lot of people were killed, and the boat was also taken away." Ye Huo held the information in his hand, frowned his pretty eyebrows, and said softly, and at the end he pouted and snorted.

Seeing Ye Huo's appearance, Wang Xuan couldn't help but secretly sighed. This guy was originally a hermaphrodite, but with the improvement of his kung fu, he became more and more feminine after entering the first-class state. .

"Hey, my lord, are you listening!" Seeing Wang Xuan slipping away, Ye Huo couldn't help shouting in a low voice.

"Oh, listen, there have been more and more attacks by Japanese pirates in recent days." Wang Xuan was also scratching his head a little bit about this matter.

According to intelligence, these Japanese pirates should be mainly real Japanese, and with almost the same number of fake Japanese pirates, they began to wreak havoc in the coastal areas. It is enough to build two small boats, and there are as many as a cow's hair.

According to the news received in the past few days, within three days or so, there have been more than a hundred pirates appearing!And it is spreading towards the west, no one knows how many Japanese pirates there are, it is really annoying.

Every time they are robbed, the loss is not big, even if the army is dispatched, it is not easy to catch, there are too few people and too scattered, just a small boat floats to any place or hides on any island or reef, the vast sea, where to find !

After another half a month or so, the problem of Japanese pirates has spread to Annan. According to statistics from various parties, there are about five or six hundred shares of Japanese pirates, which are like sprinkling sesame salt, spreading all over the southern sea area. Although Wang Xuan also sent out naval troops to encircle and suppress them, the effect was not great. For half a month, dozens of stocks were destroyed.

It's really shocking!
"Isn't this just guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare? That bastard thinks... bah, bah." Wang Xuan was really scratching his head. Now he can feel the distress of the little Japan during World War II, as if he was crawled all over his body by a group of ants , If he continues to bite like this, he's going to cry.

"Crack!" He slapped the table hard, and Wang Xuan's expression became ruthless. Since these people are playing with him, don't blame him for using the big killer!

"Sun Chuanting, send me an order to open the ban on the purchase of crossbows. In this way, as long as they are willing to pay for it, all merchant ships can be equipped with bed crossbows in the future. Let's see how these pirates will rob them!"

"My lord!" Sun Chuanting turned pale when he heard this, "My lord, you must not do it. This crossbow is different from a sword and gun. It is too dangerous. Even an untrained person can kill someone with a crossbow. A well-trained soldier, if the crossbow ban is lifted, I don’t know how many lives and lawsuits will be added, and most importantly, the safety of those local big families and government personnel will be greatly threatened.”

"I know what you said, but do you have a way to deal with this kind of tactics?" Wang Xuan spread his hands and looked at Sun Chuanting. This is the same as allowing private guns. also not guaranteed.

"I..." Sun Chuanting opened his mouth, but there was nothing he could do, "Then you can't drink poison to quench your thirst!"

"Okay, it's not as exaggerated as you said!" Wang Xuan raised his hand and pressed it, "I know what you mean, the common people can actually say that the contradiction worth killing can kill people without a crossbow. It doesn’t make any difference whether the common people have it or not.”

"The real difference is that those local big families are also officials. If they are oppressing the people, they usually bring their slaves with them. Even if one or two come to revenge with a knife, it is difficult to get close, so the threat is not great. If the crossbow arrows As soon as the ban is lifted, there is a 'whoosh' sound, and they are likely to die, so they firmly oppose the opening of the crossbow."

"Actually, it's not a bad thing. It's okay to let them know that there's nothing wrong with being in awe." The crossbow is not a firearm after all, it's not that convenient, and it's not that powerful. .

Furthermore, when it comes to Laomei, their officials are really not superior, even if they are the second generation of rich people, they will not pretend to be aggressive with ordinary people.

Sun Chuanting opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't until this time that he realized that this lord, unlike many people in this era, although he recognized the inevitability of class, he didn't agree with it or defend it. He is a person who truly treats everyone equally.

They will never treat you differently just because you are rich and have status.

Therefore, maintaining tradition and the things of the ruling class are all unworkable for this Lord, and he doesn't care.

Sun Chuanting really doesn't know what kind of impact the ban on crossbows will have. Japanese pirates are definitely not a problem. There are not many crossbows on a ship. There are only twenty crossbows and one or two bed crossbows. I can hehe.

but……
