Chapter 647 Su Maoman
The army arrived in Yong'an Prefecture and everything continued.
This time, I did not encounter a decent army, and some tenacious people resisted spontaneously. However, the Song army was not the Jiaozhi army, but also all armed. At least the chain mail on them was not something that the kitchen knives in the hands of ordinary people could cut into.
Moreover, Yan Da took them to train on the other side, so he didn't encounter too many such resistance.
So it was staged again, but there was no carnival that night in Tiandefu City.
The people were driven out of their homes, and they were not obedient. All the wealth and goods were plundered, and the food, livestock and poultry were confiscated, and the remaining houses were burned with fire. Then they were taken to the border to identify the people belonging to Yongzhou. The gold surrendered, and thousands of captured Han people and Yongzhou people were handed over. In fact, each prefecture had it. Jiaozhi abducted more than 10,000 people, as well as some slaves he bought before, and then distributed them to the prefectures. The most were like Shenglong City, where could there be more than 10,000 people, and the fewer were more than 1,000 people.
Tao Bi also identified more than 2,000 people from Yongzhou in Liangzhou.
There are also some people who have been tortured to death and can never be found again.
The rest began to build the Great Wall again.
Wang Ju asked thousands of cavalry to return to Liangzhou, met with Hebin's army, captured prisoners and looted the four states of Fuliang Prefecture, Dingyuan Prefecture, Nongzhou, and Lanshizhou. In particular, Fuliang Prefecture, which was seeking the benefits of the river and the terrain was flat. It was a relatively large and wealthy Dazhou Prefecture in Jiaozhi, with nearly 20,000 households. Guo Kui walked south to the road on the west side of Fuliang Prefecture. All he wanted was beheading and quickly attacking Shenglong City, so the march was fast and did not cause much damage to Fuliang Prefecture.
Therefore, Fuliang Mansion quickly resumed its prosperity.
Hebin repeated the same trick, and brought Wang Ju's move to the Fuliang Prefecture City. Many people fled, and some people were in the dense mountains and forests. The arrest cost was too high and they were spared. However, the vast majority of people were taken to the border to build the Great Wall.
This Great Wall is so well-built that it is incomprehensible.
Because there was no need for this, the Song army was 60,000 at this time. If they were willing, they could transfer more troops from the country. After the defeat in the Jiaozhi battle, the troops gradually became tight. In fact, they were ready to give up seeking the north of the river. With seeking the river and the Baiteng River as a new border, this is a natural barrier. Isn't that good?
It would be strange if they could figure it out...
But doing so does seem stupid.
Forget it, Silangzhou is already a vast mountainous area. Going northward is the famous Temodao, a place where even the Song Dynasty had a headache. If anyone is willing to go, then go.
Therefore, this Great Wall starts from the eastern part of Silangzhou and goes to the seashore, and is intertwined with twists and turns, with a length of nearly 900 miles. April is the rainy season, so Wang Ju had to make some adjustments.
Try to avoid mountainous areas, with forests in the mountains, and dense tropical jungles, and you should also avoid plain areas. Because there are mostly dense river networks in the plain areas, there are only a few large rivers, but they are just small rivers. They are also very deep.
Therefore, it was built along the high ground of Liangzhou and along the edge of the plain. In order to save the project, it tried to pull it into a straight line.
But he did not take advantage of Jiaozhi. Although Liangzhou has expanded part of it, he has cut out more than half of Su Maozhou and left it again to Jiaozhi. In terms of production, Wang Ju picked up the barren areas together, while the rich plain areas have given up like a fool.
This pull compresses the distance to eight hundred miles.
But it's still very long.
So the size of the Great Wall was reduced.
In ancient times, the thickness of the wall base of the city wall reached more than three zhang, and the giant could reach more than five zhang. However, the king of the city was placed at one and a half zhang. It was a little more than four meters. The width above was compressed to two meters, so that it could barely keep two or three people staggered their bodies. The height was not high. Five meters was less than.
But it was also reinforced. The city wall was erected, and a wide area must be retained in front of it. There are dense jungles. So the trees were cut down, two rows of fences were first formed, and then the soil was poured into the fence and compacted with a hammer.
The mud taken out in front just forms a trench. If there is a river nearby, the river water can be introduced and it can also become a moat.
After captive of 160,000 to 170,000 people, Wang Ju's approach is quite "benevolent". He asked the elderly to take care of the children, wash clothes and cook, and said that as long as the city wall is repaired, you Jiaozhi will return the people of Yongzhou who were captured before, and we will let you go home. Of course, those who resist will be killed without a doubt.
At the same time, they were asked to build a shed to shelter the wind and rain, but they sent some officers and soldiers to supervise it. This was also for the sake of the project. The rainy season was coming soon, and the project volume was extremely large. Although it was not the brick and stone Great Wall of ancient China, every civilian was responsible for the completion of the three and a half meters of city wall after being spread out. The earthwork was not too much, fifty earthworks, but it had to be roughly compacted, and the higher the upwards, the higher the difficulty. Every five miles, a military building had to be built. The time was short, and some dangerous areas could not be avoided. There were also some areas with extremely dense jungle... So the project was very urgent.
The news quickly reached Jiaozhi people's ears, and Jiaozhi became even more confused. What is Wang Ju doing?
If it is divided according to the boundary agreed with Guo Kui, Jiaozhi will take advantage now. If the captured people are exchanged for these people, Jiaozhi will still take advantage. Unless he is still reluctant to part with the southern states, he will have to continue to fight. Otherwise, this condition can be accepted with Jiaozhi's current situation.
Is this really the case?
After receiving the information from the scouts, the monarch and ministers of Jiaozhi were a little unbelievable, so they sent the scouts to cross the river to inquire.
The information received this time is more detailed.
The two main forces of the Song army were stationed in Tiande Mansion and the other was stationed in Fuliang Mansion.
It was these two armies that left Jiaozhi helpless.
If you want to fight the Northern Expedition, less troops will not work, and if there are too many troops, after the remnants of this battle, it is time for farming and production, at most 100,000 troops can be gathered. However, these two Song troops are so close that they can unite at any time. Nearly half of them are new recruits. As long as the Song army does not make serious mistakes, they are not their opponents at all. However, after this battle, we all know that the Shaobao on the other side is not a sick cat, but a tiger that cannot eat anyone and can expect him to make serious mistakes?
The Northern Song Dynasty conquered the Northern Han Dynasty without success, but because it killed many soldiers from Northern Han Dynasty, all the people in Hedong were moved. Liu was also worried about the Taiyuan Prefecture and had no choice but to do anything.
This is the situation now for Jiaozhi. Moreover, Jiaozhi's strength is similar to that of the Northern Han Dynasty back then, and it can only be equivalent to one-third of the strength of the Western Xia.
Of course. If Wang Ju leads his army and drills into the tropical rainforest, then not to mention the 600,000 army, even the 600,000 army may be defeated. In fact, Wang Ju still hopes that Jiaozhi will use another army.
As long as Jiaozhi dares to use it, this country will not even have a single chicken feather left in the end.
However, Wang Ju would not take the initiative to cross Qiujiang to fight. It is difficult to steal a chicken once, and he cannot steal a chicken again.
At this time, Jiaozhi finally regretted it, why bother to provoke this behemoth in the north?
It destroyed one Yongzhou, Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and the Song Dynasty had countless states, which only hurt a little bit of fur. However, the Song Dynasty destroyed six prefectures on both sides of Liangzhou, and Jiaozhi was greatly damaged.
This is the idea now, but Jiaozhi is immortal. At most ten years, if the scar is healed, you will quickly forget the pain. Wang Ju knows the most. In terms of destruction, is he still as powerful as the Second Ancestor who destroyed it?
But twenty years have come again.
This country must be wiped out.
It was impossible for Jiaozhiren to know Wang Ju's idea. They were really puzzled when they saw Wang Ju's actions.
Because Wang Ju is indeed building the Great Wall. Although this Great Wall is far from the solid, solid and tall Great Wall in the north.
Although we will encounter some rivers along the edge of the plain. As for the small river, we will lay down wooden fences to completely seal the river. Several barbed wire mesh were placed on the larger river, and many sharp caltrops were still stuck on the barbed wire mesh.
So Jiaozhi was even more confused. It makes no sense for the Song people to do this...
"Xiaobao, why do you use a wall to isolate us outside?" asked a middle-aged man with a very fierce appearance.
This group of people has representatives from Su Maozhou outside the wall.
Why? The reality is very simple. Just look through the history books and look at the other three words. Su Maoman will know.
Among the southern prefectures, Guangyuan Prefecture, Qiyuan Prefecture, and Sumaozhou are relatively large banished states, but they are different from Guangyuan Prefecture. Sumaozhou is mostly plain areas, so it is not only large, but also rich, and is almost comparable to Fuliang Prefecture on the west side of Liangzhou.
Moreover, its terrain is very good. The northeast corner is connected to the southwest corner of Qinzhou, and the north of Menzhou is Menzhou, and the north of Menzhou is Taipingzhai and Zuojiang areas.
Therefore, Jiaozhi often connects with local people and invades the Song territory. But why don’t he launch an attack from Liangzhou? It is not a mountainous area, but also a region with headaches in Jiaozhi. There are many conflicts at ordinary times. Therefore, Guo Kui went south, and Huang Jinman and other leaders immediately surrendered, and cooperated with the Song Dynasty to send troops. He also took the initiative to distribute Jiaozhi to the Song Dynasty people they captured and returned them to Guo Kui.
The people of this state have too deep relationship with Jiaozhi.
Looking through the history books, you can see many invasions of Su Maoman, Su Maoman plundered the border, and Su Maoman came to attack...
When Wang Ju recruited troops, he focused on recruiting soldiers from the six southern states. One was to appease, which in some sense was to buy peace. The second was to be a hostage. Although the hostage was not very effective. Third, there were other arrangements, but it would have to wait until the Great Wall was established before it was done...
The cooperation between the chiefs of several states was not high, so Wang Ju increased his bargaining chips until early winter last year. It would be too late any time, and he had to rush to the Shanghai ship before mid-winter.
Basically, each tribe has more or less children, except for those in the deep forests of old mountains and forests. But there are still a few tribes who are still unruly, so that's okay. It's better to put them on the wall and then deal with them.
But there is an exception in Sumaozhou. When someone sends a notification, he will leave if he wants, and if he doesn't want to. As a result, except for the marginal areas that are bounded with Menzhou, almost no remaining village has children.
When Wang Ju stood up the city wall, he was placed on the terrain and the construction was convenient. There was also this reason, so he transferred 60% of Sumaozhou to the outside of the wall.
At the beginning, these people didn't think much about it, not knowing what the Song people were doing or why they were Song people, because they often regarded themselves as traders.
Later, the city walls stood taller day by day, and finally I understood what the Song Dynasty was going to do, and it was building the Great Wall.
It would have been fine if it was last year, but this year I saw the experiences of the people in several southern states, and these people were still building city walls under their eyes in distress.
Then they became panicked one by one. The villages gathered, selected representatives, and found Wang Ju to ask.
"According to your opinion, is this official going to do something, I have to give you an explanation?"
"No," an old man next to him pushed the middle-aged man to the side, preventing him from saying harsh words, and snatched him up and said: "Young Guardian, we are willing to send troops, but the Song Dynasty came and went in the past, and we were afraid of Jiaozhi's revenge, so we did not dare to send troops."
"You are afraid of revenge by the Jiaozhi people, aren't you afraid of our Song Dynasty?"
"The Song Dynasty's benevolence and righteousness..."
"Is Song Renbian easy to bully after a long time?" Wang Ju suddenly slapped the table and said.
"Zi'an, I have something to say," Tao Bi sang blushed on the side, and then said, "Yes, our Song Dynasty was a benevolent and righteous dynasty, so we have always shown kindness to Jiaozhi to seek peace. However, Jiaozhi did not change his teachings. Therefore, Shaobao used troops to avenge Yongzhou. Secondly, many people were taken away by Jiaozhi. Shaobao sent envoys to ask for help several times, but they were insulted and returned, so he had to exchange them for the people. Thirdly, in order to make the best of both, and not cause border troubles, he built the Great Wall. However, it requires a lot of manpower to build the Great Wall, so he used the people of Jiaozhi in several states to serve. As for the fact that you did not put it into the wall, it was because of the terrain. However, as Song people or Jiaozhi people, is it important for you?"
The question is here, do you regard yourself as the people of the Song Dynasty?
Even worse than those Murongs!
"We are willing to be Chinese people." The old man immediately said, of course, they did not want to be Song dynasty, but outside the wall, the Shaobaobao would plunder another one that day. What should I do?
"You are worried, don't think too much. I and the young security guard can guarantee that as long as you don't invade in the future, the officers and soldiers will not hurt you."
"Mr. Tao, it's not appropriate. If we want us to ensure that the officers and soldiers do not harm them, we must hand over the Song Dynasty people in their villages."
"That's true, everyone, our dynasty law prohibits the sale of female gangs. You used to buy, sell, or plunder. Many villages had our Song people working as gangs and slaves. This is not possible. As long as you hand over them all, I and the young security guard will guarantee that the officers and soldiers will not use troops to you in the future."
Not an excessive condition.
But Wang Ju added: "If you go back, if you hurt the Song people before the officers and soldiers lead the people, the outcome of the people in the village will be yours."
Everyone asked Wang Ju to send him away.
Wang Ju nodded to Yao Xiong and said, "Take the troops and find a few villages as typical shocks."
"Here." Yao Xiong understood and immediately went down to gather troops.
Tao Bi said, "Zi'an, I guess there are still many people who can't bring them back."
Wang Ju shook his head.
This is inevitable. Some people asked Jiaozhi to send it to remote tribes, so where could they get it back?
In fact, when it came to this point, it should be satisfactory. First, it was unexpected that Jiaozhi thought Wang Ju was a civil official and was not prepared. Therefore, Wang Ju succeeded successfully, including Li Changjie, who came here in person, and they all suffered repeated defeats.
Second, the target of using troops was also expected by the Jiaozhi people. They did not target Shenglong Mansion, but sent troops to Tiande Mansion first. Therefore, Jiaozhi hurriedly dispatched troops, with intention to fight against unintentional, and strong troops against weak army, which was also the reason why Jiaozhi suffered repeated defeats. When Wang Ju's strategic intention was exposed, it was to plunder and capture people to build the Great Wall. Jiaozhi could no longer gather stronger forces to avenge revenge.
