Such a spectacular scene also stunned Song Jun.

In fact, Wang Ju himself was also shocked. He thought silently in his heart: I wonder if such a tiger cannon has the power of Huihui cannon that Mongolia attacked Xiangyang.

However, with the thunderbolt bullet and fierce turbulence, they can be said to be the strongest siege weapon in the siege in the cold weapon era. So Wang Ju thought in his heart that he didn't know if he could capture Lingzhou if he launched a larger-scale tiger cannon when attacking Lingzhou.

Of course, the Dali army is not easy to compare with the Xixia army.

Especially the army of the Gao family, which is trusted, is even less comparable.

Huang Hua also said softly: "What an exciting scene."

He said again: "Shaobao, there has been a fire in the city, so you can attack."

Wang Ju came to occupy it, either completely destroying it like Jiaozhi, or governing the local area, and Dali is the latter. If a fire ignites in the city, it must be rebuilt in order to resettle the people. As the second largest city in Dali, how much money does it cost to rebuild it?

But if you really can't attack and your eyes are red, you won't care about anything.

Wang Ju nodded and issued an offensive order.

The tiger cannons in each sect continued to throw, and behind them were many divine arm archers using divine arm arches to cover them.

Then each team of soldiers pushed out the ladders from the camp and pushed them down the embankment to the bottom of the city wall.

The siege battle really began.

This is a real ladder. Small rolling stone wood and bows and arrows do not work at all. However, some large wood wood still smashed the baffles on the ladder, causing casualties to the soldiers below.

However, most of the ladders successfully pushed under the city wall.

The soldiers below opened the folding board and immediately put it on the top of the city.

So, since the Ming Dynasty, some important city walls have become taller and taller. This is to prevent cloud ladders and ordinary siege ladders. But they are not effective, so in a sense, Wu Qi's words of solidarity in virtue, not danger, and cannot be said to be wrong.

But it is really difficult to be in virtue...

It was the Ming Dynasty, and now Shanchan City was further repaired based on the Tang Dynasty city. That is, the standard Tang Dynasty city wall is two meters high.

This height is really nothing to a ladder. The folding board of each ladder is placed on the top of the city.

The second wave of casualties began, and the function of the ladder was to cover the soldiers to successfully send the ladder to the city wall and not easily push it down. In the end, it had to ask the soldiers to climb up and then climb to the top of the city.

In order to prevent accidental injury, the Divine Arm Bow and the Tiger Cannon stopped together.

Some outlaws began to fight back.

The tragic battle began.

But this time was not long, and even Shanchan City did not force the Song army to pass by the city from beginning to end. Instead, more and more Song troops rushed to the city.

Shanchan City has not many troops, and some soldiers are hesitant when they see Duan Zhengchun, and the shock brought by the tiger cannon, many soldiers fled to the top of the city themselves, and now they don’t know where to hide.

Therefore, in less than an hour, the Song army gradually completely controlled the city entrance of the East City Gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and opened the city gate.

Wang Ju said: "Enter the city."

Song troops rushed into the city in batches.

Seeing the Song army rushing into the city, no more Gao family soldiers resisted on the top of the city.

The Song army then controlled the Xicheng Gate, and then put out the fire and captured prisoners. Ordinary soldiers were temporarily imprisoned and released after they settled down. As for the important generals, no one left behind, which was to prevent Liu Heita from happening like this (Liu Heita was a famous general under Dou Jiande. After Dou Jiande's defeat, Liu Heita fled to seclusion and returned home. As a result, he was persuaded by Dou Jiande's old general Fan Yuan and rebelled again, which once caused great headaches in the Tang Dynasty and killed Luo Cheng's original form Luo Shixin). Although there was no such awesome figure as Liu Heita in Dali, what if a more powerful general escaped and rebelled again?

Then there were the nobles in the city, most of which were very close to the Gao family. Later, the new capital of Dali was in Shanchan City, and of course these nobles could not stay.

There are also some big businessmen who are close to the Gao family who cannot stay.

And they all have a lot of assets in their family. What is Wang Ju’s most lacking now, money!

But it was not just for money to kill people. The merchants in the city who were not close to the Gao family and had no serious evil deeds were protected and ordered the three armies not to plunder any property in their homes.

The arrest continues.

This time is a bit long, and it will never end without three or four days.

But the most important thing... Wang Ju entered the city, and the first place he went to was the granaries in the city.

But when you open the door of the granaries and look at them one by one, your face is very bad after seeing them. There is also some grain in these granaries, even some cured meat and other supplies.

However, Wang Ju had more than 100,000 troops to eat and drink, and he also had to prepare some food to prevent sudden disasters and disasters. If the people wanted to forget the previous country, they could only do better than Dali. Then in two or three years, these people would think they were from the Song Dynasty or Chinese.

Then these food supplies are far from enough.

Huang Hua said: "Shaobao, maybe they fought with the Yang family and most of the supplies were transported to Nongdong City."

"Mengzhi, there will be some, but not too many." Wang Ju said soberly.

It seems that the Yang Gao family fought for victory and defeat, consuming a lot of supplies and food.

Wang Ju took a few steps and said, "I'll give the order to General He. After taking down Xiushan City, I'll pacify several tribes in the south of Zhenchi, and immediately lead the army to fight to the Sining Mansion.

The Jingning Mansion also needs to divide the arable land equally. The east side of it is the Temo Road and the southeast is Jiaozhi. When the Song Dynasty got Jiaozhi and wanted to manage Dali, the geographical location of the Jingning Mansion was particularly important.

But the main reason is to eat.

Guangnan West Road was managed by Wang Ju, and the grain harvest last year was bumper. However, the amount of food was astonishing last year, especially the grain used by refugees and the grain used by migrant people to resettle, so the food was very tight. However, under Wang Ju's promotion, winter wheat began to be planted in many areas.

This batch of winter wheat is soon ripening, but the Yushui system can only navigate to the central area of ​​Guangnan West Road. There are still various Yushui tributaries in the western area, but it is not easy to navigate. Therefore, the grain can only be transported from land to Dali step by step.

The same is true for Jiaozhi in the southeast. Although the Fuliang River runs through the valley between the Wuli Mountain Ailao Mountain, the navigable section can only maintain the southern part of the Ningfu. Further forward, the river is turbulent and cannot sail anymore.

The waterway is a little better. As long as you go to land, transportation costs will immediately surge.

Although the dry season rice in Jiaozhi is about to be harvested, there is no way to transport grain to central Dali or even northwest areas on a large scale.

Just a loss will be a huge astronomical number.

Yao Lin cursed angrily: "These two prodigal sons."

Wang Ju pinched his nose, but he couldn't say that Yang Yizhen and Gao Zhisheng were prodigal sons. This situation happened, but he pushed him. He walked a few steps and said, "Huang Hua, posted a piece of cloth in the entire rear area. From now on, anyone who signed a grain sales agreement with the officials in the rear within this month. Regardless of corn, wheat and beans, every bucket of corn, wheat, will be purchased from them by ten cents this year."

“That would add a lot of cost.”

"Brother Chun, not only are we using troops in this battle, but Gao Yang's family has been using troops for a longer time, which somewhat destroyed spring farming production. Moreover, the war has not ended yet. Even if Gao Yang's family is taken down, there will be many areas of rebellion in the future, or if they do not submit to our court, they will use troops. This time may last until after the autumn, or even next year. Moreover, the people themselves have to eat, and the people regard food as the most. The weather in the south is mostly warm, and people will not freeze to death, but they will starve to death. Once they can't eat, the people will spontaneously riot. Therefore, this agreement was signed to allow them to actively farm and produce. With the equal distribution of arable land in many areas, the taxes are low, and there is no corvee service. In addition, high-priced purchases, the enthusiasm for production will increase. The problem of using grain in the three armies after the autumn, and the people will also solve the problem of using grain."

As a later generation, this is the most clear thing, just like a contract to the responsible field. There are also so much land, but how much changes have the farmers made.

However, Yao Lin and Huang Hua also saw some difference, that is Guangnan West Road.

Yao Lin asked curiously: "Shaobao has banned the corvee service. What should I do if there are any servants in the future?"

"I will also impose exemption money like Guangnan West Road, but try to reduce unnecessary servants to reduce the exemption money. At the same time, I will also write a letter to the court to declare that Dali has initially decided that it is not possible to impose levy money. In fact, this levy money... can be banned. It seems that there is not much, but if it is actually implemented, it is often the four million guan left money, and then the escaping of the clerks and servants, and the real 8 million guan left money."

This is also a major disadvantage of the Song Dynasty.

Just like when Song Renzong heard that the people of Qiongzhou were struggling with the salt administration, they exempted them from more than 1,000 jin of salt tax in Qiongzhou, and incurred an additional expenditure of nearly 10,000 jin in the second year. After hearing this, Song Renzong sat in the palace and was stunned for most of the day.

"In fact, the court began to pay the clerks and servants, and then they could enact laws and punish them severely." Yao Lin said.

"It may not be effective," Wang Ju shook his head. Of course, after implementing the recruitment law, dealing with corruption can be upright and open, but its effect is still limited. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang killed so many corrupt officials, has he eliminated the phenomenon of corruption?

Still not.

The fundamental reason is the centralized system + official-centered thinking + officials and businessmen + the income of officials and families is opaque, which makes the upper class have unlimited resources. If this ill is not reformed, you can't stop corruption. In fact, this ill has been reformed and the subsequent Western civil cooking system was implemented in an epoch-making manner. The phenomenon of corruption cannot be eliminated. Just like the US imperialist election donation system, it is actually the biggest open corruption and the biggest combination of power and money.

It can only be said that the law plus advanced systems, division of officials and businessmen, and officials no longer respect them. Coupled with a fair supervision system, the phenomenon of corruption will be greatly reduced.

"This will incur a lot of expenses." Yao Lin was also worried.

"What should I do?" Wang Ju said with a spreading hand.

It really doesn't work. In addition to smuggling, he also gave the court a year of grace. Anyway, he would pay one million guan every year. I believe that the officials in the court would like it and would repay the five million guan next year.

In fact, there is no need to do it. As long as the court can allocate another 10 million yuan, Wang Ju's cost will not be so nervous. This is Dali, and every time he wins a city, he will gain some rewards as long as he defeats the local tyrants one after another.

But there is no need to write a book. Wang Ju guessed that someone would take out Wen Yanbo's words. As expected, that's like building a house. At the beginning, the wages were low, but now it's halfway through it. I asked to take the wages again, what should the owner do? This is what Wang Ju did.

So Wang Ju was too lazy to ask the court for financial assistance.

The city was still being arrested, but the civilians escorted food and supplies into the city.

In the future, many civil servants will be hired to step by step toward Nongdong Mansion, Dali City, and even Luolu City (Jianchuan, the head of the Motong Mansion), Sanhuang City (Lijiang), and Yongchang City (Baoshan).

In fact, the biggest problem with Dali this time is not the force, but the force is enough. The main thing is logistics...

The next day, all the civilians returned and continued to arrest the city, but the scale became smaller. Yao Lin led most of the troops out of Shanchan City, all of which were lightly equipped and headed westward.

Soon Gao Shengtai also received the news.

In fact, after the Song army captured Shanchan City, the entire battlefield scope had been further narrowed. The farthest of the three troops was the Song army from Shanchan City to the rear army of Yang Yizhen in Dali City, which was less than 700 miles away. In terms of the scope, it was not much larger than the Battle of Qingzhou.

Of course, the difficulty has been slightly reduced, but it should not be underestimated. After all, the two families are still above the Song army, and they also have some advantages of being in a good time, place, and people.

Huanzhou Village is not far from Shanchan City, only about 400 miles away.

So after Yao Lin's army set off, the news also came to Gao Shengtai the next afternoon.

He was full of grief and anger at first. Needless to say, his family was about to be beaten by Wang Ju.

However, he was still very clear-headed. Shanchan City could not be taken back, although he couldn't figure out how the Song army captured Shanchan City in just three days. In fact, it was not three days, only half a day. The first day was camping for rest and preparation, the second day was filling the dam, and the third day was officially attacked. As a result, after noon, the Song army captured Shanchan City.

But no matter three days or most of the day, Shanchan City can't take it back.

And his army is now very dangerous. Although the five thousand soldiers and horses on the side blocked the Song army in the western mountainous area of ​​Luquandian, how can he block the rear?

As long as the Song army comes, it will not be the Song army that surrounded Yanda with two groups of troops, but will be quickly annihilated by the Song army inside and outside.
To be continued...
