He waits for the players to finish building the city in Siping, then he can close the door and beat the dogs to annihilate all the enemies in Zhuozhou City.
Yu Chixin is waiting, and so is Zhang Duanyang in Pengcheng.
An Qingxu is really too slow.
An Qingxu's refugee army gave up the attack on Luoyang and marched eastward along the Bianhe River for more than a month. Now they have only gone halfway to the city of Bianzhou.
An Qingxu was also very anxious. The battle from Xiangzhou to the south was smooth and military discipline could be maintained, but now military discipline has basically broken down.
When the soldiers saw the prosperous Bianzhou City, they began to be unable to walk. Several generals clamored to loot and eat in Bianzhou before leaving.
Bianzhou City was the capital of the Song Dynasty after the founding of the country. Bianzhou City was renamed Bianjing City, and the Song Dynasty was also called Bian Song in history books.
There are many reasons why the Song Dynasty established its capital in Bianzhou. First of all, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was a warlord who ruled Bianzhou. This was the land of Longxing.
In addition, the Guanzhong section of the Grand Canal's water transport began to gradually fall into disrepair after the mid-Tang Dynasty. The long-term war in the Guanzhong area also suffered huge damage to the water conservancy facilities, gradually turning from a granary into a barren wasteland.
Without discussing the combat effectiveness of government soldiers and recruited soldiers, Bianzhou has been a very high-quality recruiting place since the mid-Tang Dynasty.
They all rely on the wealthy businessmen of Bianzhou City for their livelihood. If they really take the lead in making trouble, they may never find a job in Bianzhou City again.
Zhang Wu smiled and said: "Although An Qingxu did not attack Bianzhou City, of course when recruiting troops, did you not say that if An Qingxu did not attack the city, there would be no reward?"
However, the proportion of each family's contribution is based on the amount of property. Xu Ya's family has the most wealth and has to contribute the most.
This time Anqing Xu's troops forced Bianzhou to attack. The governor of Bianzhou had just arrived and was an incompetent guy. He simply abandoned the city and ran away.
Ever since Luoyang's recovery, Zhang Wu, a popular player, had left Zhang Xun's command. He had planned to head north along the way to see if he could cause trouble for Shi Siming and his son.
Therefore, Bianzhou City is completely different from other places. After the governor of Dangzhou ran away, such a group of businessmen were in charge.
The entire Bianzhou army was united and vowed to stop the refugee army. The recruited recruits were also well-funded and promised a large amount of monetary rewards after An Qingxu retreated. Therefore, the morale of the Bianzhou recruits was very high, and they not only repelled Anqing
Xu's siege troops even went out of the city to harass An Qingxu several times at night.
The governor of Bianzhou has fled. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, defecting from the territory is an unpardonable crime, so naturally he will not return to Bianzhou City.
When the Xining Reform was carried out, a large number of redundant troops were laid off, but this also caused a large number of landless soldiers to lose their income. So from that time on, the Song Dynasty continued to have uprisings, and fires were put out everywhere.
This time, the homeless army who bullied the weak and feared the strong was frightened. Zhang Wu could single-handedly rush in front of Xu Shuji and kidnap Xu Shuji. He was a ruthless character who was the top assassin among players.
Before the collapse of the Tang Dynasty's military system, Liang Jiazi had to prepare his own weapons and horses to join the army.
So Zhang Wu simply stopped in Bianzhou City, and he was ready to take a good look at this city that would be featured in later generations' "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
But this time, the situation seems to have changed slightly.
Zhang Wu was not angry. He stood up, looked at Xu Ya and said:
Without the governor, Bianzhou would have no official government.
A waterworker on the dock who was charitable and often helped people to fight against injustice was elected as the leader of the new recruits.
However, as the land equalization system completely withdrew from the stage of history, the real good family also completely disappeared.
If I had encountered this kind of defaulting on my debt before, I would have had no choice but to endure it.
So in the Song Dynasty, the comprehensive military recruitment system replaced the government military system and became the country's military system.
The most important reason is because of Bianzhou's important position in water transportation.
It's just that the current Bianzhou is still not the Bianjing City of the Song Dynasty. The city's population is far from reaching one million in later generations. However, relying on the prosperity of water transportation, Bianzhou City is still a famous and prosperous city in the world.
Several businessmen present were also shaken. Zhang Wu was indeed right. An Qingxu retreated this time because everyone in Bianzhou City was unanimous. If he did not honor the previous reward, I am afraid that he would encounter such a thing again next time.
No one wants to be drafted into the military anymore.
It seems to be fate. Back then, Zhang Wu kidnapped Xu Shuji, the governor of the Bianzhou Army, and asked him to send troops to rescue Suiyang. Later, after killing Xu Shuji, he followed Zhang Xunguang to recover Luoyang City.
Liangjiazi are self-cultivated farmers with a clean family background. These people are loyal to the country, obey discipline and have good physical fitness. They are the best source of soldiers since the Qin and Han Dynasties.
In the courtyard of the former Bianzhou Army Military Envoy's Palace, several representatives of wealthy households in Bianzhou were sitting upright, facing Zhang Wu, who was wearing armor.
For example, in "Mulan Ci", when Mulan joins the army, she "buys horses from the east market, saddles from the west market, bridles from the south market, and long whips from the north market." These weapons for joining the army are all prepared by good families, and those who can establish military exploits
A son of a good family can receive rewards from the court, and even if he dies in battle, he can receive a pension from the court.
The name of this plowman was Zhang Wu.
Xu Ya slapped the table and said: "The soldiers are recruited to resist the thieves. Since the thieves have not come, the reward will naturally be forfeited. During the period when you were recruited, you did not have less than three meals a day. Now it's time to disperse.
After eating for a few days in vain, the greedy and despicable people may not be able to gain a foothold in Bianzhou!"
Regarding this result, Zhang Wu did not refuse. He directly took office calmly and began to organize Bianzhou's defense.
In the Song Dynasty, when land annexation was not suppressed, there were no longer so many good families who had land and could equip their own horses and weapons to go into battle.
Except for Xu Ya, everyone present here are famous big businessmen in Bianzhou City. In Bianzhou, a city with a strong commercial atmosphere, those local powerful people are not eager to finally buy land, but are keen on doing business and buying shops.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the military system completely disintegrated, and the Liangjiazi system that lasted from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties completely began to disintegrate.
When An Qingxu was preparing to attack the city, everyone naturally worked together, but when An Qingxu ran away, conflicts arose.
When An Qingxu's army retreated, Bianzhou City had problems.
Recruiting soldiers with court salary also solved the survival problem of a large number of landless farmers. Therefore, in the early years of the Song Dynasty, the Song court used most of the country's income to support the army, but it was able to maintain the stability of the country.
The people of Bianzhou, who had experienced many military disasters, understood that if they allowed these refugee troops to come in, they would definitely die without a place to die. It was better to defend the city to the death and at least save some of their property.
Now An Qingxu finally understood that Bianzhou was a hard bone that he could not chew down.
Therefore, it was Xu Ya who felt the most distressed at the scene, and it was he who tried his best to get rid of this debt.
The oldest businessman is named Xu Ya. He was originally distantly related to Xu Shuji, the former military governor of Bianzhou Army. He also relied on this relationship to start the grain business in Bianzhou and is now the richest man in Bianzhou City.
The wealthy households in Bianzhou could only pool money and spontaneously recruit soldiers to defend Bianzhou. Zhang Wu seemed to obey his orders and became the leader of Bianzhou's recruiting troops.
Seeing the menacing attack of An Qingxu's refugee army, the wealthy households in Bianzhou City quickly reached an agreement, donated money together, and then recruited water transport workers and civilians from the docks to organize troops to defend Bianzhou.
In addition, water transportation also requires a large number of young and strong labor forces, and these people are also high-quality recruits.
But An Qingxu didn't expect that he would hit an iron plate this time. Zhang Wu led the Bianzhou soldiers to resist desperately. Zhang Wu also sneaked into An Qingxu's army and assassinated several generals.
These recruited soldiers were all laborers on the docks, clerks in the merchant houses, or escorts transporting grain.
Seeing that his subordinates were about to plunder Bianzhou City, although An Qingxu was the emperor of Yan, he did not dare to go against the unanimous opinions of his subordinates, so he ordered the army to station outside Bianzhou City and prepare to plunder Bianzhou City.
Walk.
Xu Ya and other merchants believed that An Qingxu did not attack the city at all, and your Bianzhou New Army did not shed a drop of blood, so there was no need to pay the previously promised rewards for defending the city.
Since the death of Xu Shuji, the military envoy of the Bianzhou Army, the imperial court did not establish another military envoy of the Bianzhou Army, and merged the Bianzhou Army into the army left behind by Zhang Xun in the Eastern Capital.
Xu Ya snorted coldly and heard Zhang Wu continue:
"If we don't give a reward today, how can we still recruit so many soldiers if the thief commits another crime tomorrow?"
So An Qingxu decisively ordered the soldiers to abandon the siege and continue eastward to Pengcheng.
Bianzhou is located in the center of the Bianhe River. Grain transported from the southeast will arrive in Bianzhou and then be transported to Luoyang and Chang'an.
But unexpectedly, when he arrived in Bianzhou, Zhang Wu heard the news that Shi Siming and his son had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
When Xu Ya said this, everyone stood up one after another and accused Zhang Wu of being greedy.
As a result, Bianzhou gradually became a central city for water transportation, and also became a commercial city along with water transportation.
"Master Xu is not ready to pay?"
"Those who have no merit will not be rewarded! Why should we pay for it!"
Zhang Wu smiled slightly and said: "This scene is so similar. Everyone in Bianzhou City said that Mr. Xu and his former uncle Xu were related. I didn't think they were alike last time I saw them. But today they are exactly the same."
Xu Ya was stunned for a moment. Looking at Zhang Wu's smiling face, he suddenly felt a chill.
