Chapter 453: Background

~Novel app,-app..

"Is Mr. Pei still in the Guo family residence?" Finally, a trembling voice sounded. But this trembling voice made everyone in the house tremble. Mr. Pei is not an ordinary person, he is

If anything happens to the biological father of Pei Xiaoer, the leader of the Pei Family Army, in Jianzhou, the entire Jianzhou may be buried with him.

"Turn the whole army around. Let's go to the Guo family's house to rescue Mr. Pei." After Zhang Zhiyuan said that, he immediately took the lead and walked quickly towards the house where Mr. Pei was originally arranged. No one could object to this order and silently

Follow Zhang Zhiyuan toward the Guo family residence.

As soon as he turned onto the street in front of the Guo family's residence, Zhang Zhiyuan saw the door of the Guo family's residence open in the distance, and a large number of white-stemmed chieftain soldiers were entering and exiting through the open door. Zhang Zhiyuan's heart sank. In this situation, it might be Father Pei.

I saw something bad, so I took the opportunity to hide, or else Father Pei would have been killed.

The current situation, according to Zhang Zhiyuan's guess, is even more likely to be the latter. However, whether it is life or death can only be confirmed by seeing it with one's own eyes. Otherwise, when he really sees Pei Xiaoer in the future, he will not be able to confirm it.

Reply to Pei Xiao2 with 1 "I don't know."

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiyuan took a deep breath, slowly took out his weapon, held it in his hand, and said to the chieftain soldiers in the house: "The whole army obeys the order and kill with me!"

At this time, a large number of chieftain soldiers in the Guo family's residence had also discovered the presence of the Pei family's army. They summoned their friends, drew their bows and wore armor, and charged towards Zhang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhiyuan knew that now was not the time to hold back, so he took the lead and rushed into the crowd of chieftain soldiers. The soldiers of the Pei family army behind him were greatly shocked. They ignored life and death and fought with the chieftain soldiers with their swords raised and their chests raised. 1

There were few chieftains in Guo's house and Zhang Zhiyuan had many. Although the chieftains were full of fighting spirit and fearless of death, they still retreated steadily in front of the powerful numbers of Pei's army and were soon attacked by Zhang Zhiyuan.

middle.

The Guo Family Courtyard was full of corpses who died in battle, including members of the Pei Family Army and white-armed soldiers who suddenly entered the city. After Zhang Zhiyuan slaughtered all the remaining white-armed soldiers, he ordered the soldiers to search inch by inch to find the whereabouts of Mr. Pei.

The Guo family yard is neither big nor small. However, with so many people searching all over the place, it still took half a day. However, after such a long search, nothing was found.

Father Pei just seemed to have disappeared from the world, no one was seen when he was alive, and no body was seen after he died.

body

Zhang Zhiyuan angrily threw a vase to the ground. The huge shattering sound made everyone's hearts tremble. After slowly exhaling, Zhang Zhiyuan vaguely heard the sound of a large number of people approaching quickly. He knew that this place was not suitable for

Stay, it's time to leave.

"Give me the order, let's retreat." Just say that, Zhang Zhiyuan angrily walked out of the national residence first and retreated towards Jianmenguan in the north.

Just when Jianzhou fell into the hands of Qin Minping and Qin Yiming's nephew, Pei Xiaoer had already arrived in the city of Chengdu, which still belonged to the Pei family army.

The message to Li Guojun in the direction of Deyang has been sent. Pei Xiaoer reminded Li Guojun that if it is impossible, he is allowed to abandon Wang Weizhang, the governor of Sichuan, who was surrounded in Deyang City, and the entire army retreats to the direction of Chengdu. As for when to retreat, how to retreat, etc.

The specific situation is up to him to decide.

Chengdu, Fantai Yamen.

Pei Xiaoer personally took Shengxing Tang, Chen Congjiao and others to inspect the vassal treasury and other important places. Here, almost all the grain in Chengdu is stored. These are the last assets of the Pei family army in Chengdu. With these grain and grass supplies, Pei

Xiao 2 is confident that he can continue to deal with the officers and soldiers in Chengdu.

If there is any difference in the food and grass in these treasuries, Pei Xiaoer will have only two options left. The first is to fight with the officers and soldiers outside the city as soon as possible. The second is to plunder the people in the city in order to survive. These two options

Neither Pei Xiaoer nor Pei Xiaoer wants to choose, so there is absolutely no room for loss in this warehouse.

"General, only a small part of the grain here is originally tax grain belonging to the government, and most of the rest belongs to the grain storage of the Shu Palace." Chen Congjiao said, pointing to a huge pile of grain beside him.

He said to Pei Xiaoer: "General, please see, these are the original grain reserves of the Prince of Shu's palace."

Pei Xiaoer looked in the direction pointed by Chen Congjiao, and saw a large number of grain bags packed in sacks piled on the ground hundreds of steps square. From Pei Xiaoer's perspective, it was extremely spectacular.

Pei Xiaoer pulled out a short knife and made a cut in the sack. Suddenly, white rice flowed out along the gap. Pei Xiaoer picked up some rice grains and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, the fragrance of rice filled the air.

Lip Teeth, "This year's new rice is really good. How much are these?"

"Back to the general, the pile in front of you is a hundred thousand stones. But there are at least 112 grain piles like this in Chengdu." Chen Congjiao said calmly.

"Ten 2 places, plus this one, it becomes 13 places, 1,300,000 shi of food?"

"Exactly."

Pei Xiaoer suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart. If Li Guojun hadn't raided Chengdu and captured Chengdu, with the tens of thousands of people under his command, even if they all died in the battle, Chengdu would have had sufficient manpower and food reserves.

The Pei Jiajun could hardly cause any fatal losses to Chengdu.

Of course, this is based on the generosity of the King of Shu and his willingness to lend the grain and grass in the palace to the government to resist the Pei family's army, but in history, this situation is almost impossible to happen. The only time that the palace and local officials have advanced and retreated at the same time is

It must be the King of Zhou in Kaifeng City.

It was the King of Zhou who helped, which resulted in Li Zicheng attacking Kaifeng three times, and finally using water to attack and capture Kaifeng at the cost of destroying Kaifeng. But King Zhou was obviously not comparable to the short-sighted King of Shu.

Pei Xiaoer returned to the grain storage belonging to the government and also opened the grain bag. Compared with the grain storage in the Prince of Shu's palace, not only the quantity of the government's grain storage was less than 50,000 shi, but also the quality was mostly the same as the grain storage in previous years. He ate it in his mouth.

There is even a moldy feeling.

"However, with these grain reserves, the government still needs to pay the feudal king every year to provide for the feudal king's needs." Sheng Xingtang, who had been silent until now, suddenly sighed with emotion.

Pei Xiaoer understood what he meant. Due to the Ming Dynasty's "Zhu" policy, although these vassal kings lost their rights, they were not comparable to the 12th-grade officials in terms of material enjoyment. Not only that, the eldest son of the vassal king inherited the throne.

The remaining sons are downgraded by one level and become hereditary kings. The eldest son of the county king succeeds as county kings, and the remaining sons are downgraded by one level and remain hereditary.

Two hundred years have passed, and the number of clans in the Ming Dynasty has reached tens of thousands in the area of ​​​​Four Sichuan Province. Even if all the taxes and grains from the entire Sichuan River were given to these clans as salaries, it would only be less than 10 of them.

Pei Xiaoer ignored Sheng Xingtang, and after taking a tour of the grain depot, he came to the weapons depot. Perhaps it was not long before the She'an rebellion was suppressed, but there were still a large number of weapons in the Chengdu weapons depot.

Swords, armor, and even muskets, artillery, gunpowder and other items.

The person guarding the armory was a 40-year-old scribe with an eight-character beard, who looked extremely shrewd. When he saw Pei Xiaoer arriving, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Xia Mengzhen, the little man, has met the general."

"Get up."

Pei Xiaoer walked into the warehouse, picked up a knife, put it in his hand, and waved it twice. He felt that although it was a little inferior to the one forged by his own craftsmen, it was more than enough to arm some strong people.

"General, there are more than 13,200 swords here, more than 28,300 knives, more than 16,000 bows, 540,1 bundles of arrows, and 3,820 firecrackers.

More than ten guns, 413 cannons, more than 1,200 shells, more than 8,800 barrels of gunpowder, and armor."

Xia Mengzhen looked at the account book in his hand, reported the supplies in the warehouse to Pei Xiaoer, and finally said: "If Wang Weizhang, the false governor of Sichuan, had not transferred most of them to form Minzhuang, there would be even more weapons here.

"

"There is no need for more, just these are enough." Pei Xiaoer looked at the dazzling array of weapons and armor and sighed in his heart. This is the foundation of a dynasty that has been in existence for more than 270 years. If it hadn't been for this dynasty, it would have been

It is rotten from the root. What kind of strong man can take over the world from such a dynasty?
