Chapter 1924

Shuangtang county is located in the north of Sichuan.

To the south of Shangjing is Leize County of Sichuan state, and further south is Yisu County, and to the south of Yisu county is Shuangtang county. There are many high mountains in Shuangtang County, among which there is a very famous and very important pass, Xuangu pass.

It can be said that Xuangu pass is the only way to connect Leize, Yisu and Shuangtang counties in the central part of Sichuan. Blocking Xuangu pass means breaking the connection between the three counties and Sichuan. Of course, as long as Fengguo can occupy xuanguguan, it means cutting off the three counties of Sichuan, then the advantage of Fengguo over Sichuan will become greater.

Tang Yin knew very well that although Xiao Xuan's sudden death would put the government and the public of Sichuan in chaos for a while, the strength of Sichuan was still there, and Fengguo couldn't defeat the giant at once.

He retreated to take the second place, seizing the three prefectures of Sichuan, including Leize, Yisu and Shuangtang, and controlling Xuangu pass. Then, if Fengguo sends troops to Sichuan again, it will be a smooth and smooth country, and there will be no dangerous places for Sichuan to defend.

Therefore, Tang Yin set the target of this troop deployment as Shuangtang County, followed by plundering the land. What he wanted most was Xuangu pass.

Looking at the map, Liang qibian nodded and said, "Xuangu pass in Shuangtang county can be regarded as an important place for military strategists to fight for, and it is also the only way for the hinterland of Sichuan to connect the three counties in the middle and North. However, the king of Sichuan just died, and the state of Sichuan has just given up Shangjing. Our country suddenly sent troops to invade, which is really a nameless lesson!"

Xiao MuQing and Qingyu also nodded repeatedly, indicating that Liang Qi was right. If you want to send troops, you must at least be famous, so that you can become a justice teacher.

When Tang Yin heard the speech, he said with a smile: "the state of Sichuan has occupied Shangjing for such a long time. Have you really not taken a Wen or a treasure from Shangjing? We can ask for it from the state of Sichuan. If the state of Sichuan fails to hand it over, will we not learn from it? "

"The king's meaning is" everyone looks at Tang Yin at the same time.

Tang Yin asked Wu Ying, "how much is the tax revenue for a year in Beijing?"

Wu Ying was stunned for a moment. She quickly took out her pamphlet and looked through it carefully. After confirming it, she said in a positive tone: "reply to the king, the tax revenue of one year in Beijing is close to ten million taels."

Tang Yin said: "it has been four or five years since the emperor left the capital. In the past four or five years, the tax revenue alone has been reduced by tens of thousands of Liang. In addition, countless treasures have been lost in the palace. In total, it should be paid by Sichuan."

They all took a breath of breath. After occupying Shangjing for more than a year, the state of Sichuan had to pay out ten thousand taels of silver. How could the state of Sichuan do this? Xiao MuQing said: "king, Sichuan will certainly not accept such a request."

"Therefore, our country has a justifiable reason to send troops for a crusade." Tang Yin said with a smile: "if the state of Sichuan refuses to hand over ten million liang of silver, then take Leize, Yisu and Shuangtang counties to pay off the debt."

It turns out that this is what the king called learning from a famous teacher. They looked at each other, nodded slowly, and thought it was feasible to do so.

Seeing that no one objected, Tang Yin's heart was more profound. He squinted slightly and said with a smile, "since everyone agrees, then it's settled."

With these words, he looked at Xiao MuQing and said, "MuQing, immediately ask someone to write a book and pass it on to the imperial court of the state of Sichuan. The state of Sichuan must return ten thousand taels of silver within a month. If he fails to do so, he will bear the consequences."

"Yes! King Xiao MuQing bowed his hand and answered.

Soon, the letter written by Tang Yin's order Xiao MuQing reached Zhaoyang, the capital of the state of Sichuan. Now Zhaoyang city is in chaos, and the court is even more worried. It is undoubtedly worse to see the letter suddenly sent by Fengguo.

Ten million taels of silver is nothing to the rich and powerful state of Sichuan, but the key point is that the reason of Fengguo is not convincing. Sichuan occupied Shangjing for more than a year, but during this period, the tax revenue collected by Sichuan was very small, which was only a few million taels at most. Why should the Fengguo hand over ten thousand taels of silver at once? What's more, Sichuan managed Shangjing in an orderly way. Even if there is no merit, there is also hard work. Even if it is not appreciated by the world, how can we pay back the money?

The fifth Princess Xiao Xiang was at this time. Xiao Yuan, the second childe who had always been indifferent to fame and wealth, suddenly became active and lobbied the ministers in the imperial court to support their ideas. First, they met the requirements of Fengguo, and then retaliated when the situation in Sichuan became stable.

Under Xiao Yuan's active lobbying, many ministers changed their positions and stood on Xiao Yuan's side. The voice of compromising to Fengguo was becoming louder and louder.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiang is disappointed. Fengguo is a greedy wolf who can't feed enough. This time, it can ask you for ten million Liang silver. If you accept it, next time it will ask you for 20000 Liang, 30000 Liang or even more. Can Sichuan continue to compromise?

It's a pity that most of them are civil servants in the imperial court of Sichuan. Being frightened by Xiao Yuan's words, many people dare not insist on a tough attitude towards Fengguo. After thinking about it, Xiao Xiangsi simply gave up the imperial court and went directly to the Sichuan army who returned from Shenchi.

It is said in a long story that Xiao Xiang didn't inform the imperial court at all. He left the capital day and night with his cronies. In Dayan County of Sichuan, Xiao Xiang finally joined the army of the state of Sichuan who had returned to the capital.Seeing his father's coffin in the army, Xiao Xiang burst into tears. I didn't expect that my wise father would die on the way home.

She asked the generals how his father died.

The generals were all sad and helpless. Zhang situ choked and said: "the king's health has always been bad. This long-distance expedition to the holy pool has been hard work. In addition, the acclimatization has made him sick. So"

"did father Wang say anything before he died?" Xiao Xiang wiped the tears on her face and tried to calm down her mood.

The king said, "the princess will wake up in a few days

Xiao Xiang sighed. Then she took out the letter from Feng Kingdom and handed it to the generals. She said, "Fengguo must have known the news of his father's death. Tang Yin wants to take advantage of this opportunity and ask for ten thousand taels of silver from our country."

Ah? The generals gathered around and looked at the contents of the letter. After reading it, people all took a breath. Zhang situ subconsciously clenched his fist and swore: "shameless! Damn it! What a cheeky country

Bu Ying said: "no wonder some scouts have reported that Fengguo has hoarded its army in Shangjing. If you want to come, it's fake to ask for silver. It's true to invade China by raising troops."

Xiao Xiang's eyes flashed and said, "general Bu, if this is the case, how should China deal with it?"

"It's very simple. Either we can meet the requirements of the Fengguo and give them ten million liang of silver, or we will fight the Feng army to the ground and never give in." She said, word by word.

Xiao Xiang youyou said: "hearing of the news of his father's death, many ministers in the imperial court have become helpless, more afraid of the military strength of Fengguo, and all want to accept the requirements of Fengguo. General Bu, in your opinion, should China accept the request of Fengguo or refuse it

Ying Ying, with a straight face, said, "Your Highness will be a mere warrior. He will only know how to fight and not understand state affairs. However, if the wind country dare to commit a war, it will end up fighting with the wind army."

Xiao Xiang nods secretly, this is what she wants to hear. She said: "it is understandable that the ministers are eager for comfort and do not want to fight. However, now that the Fengguo has taken advantage of the danger of others and has ridden over the country of Sichuan, our palace will not tolerate it. However, the throne is still uncertain and there is no military symbol in our palace. Even if we want to fight the Feng army, we can't command the officers and men of Dachuan."

After hearing this, the generals looked at each other, and for a few seconds, the generals Zhang situ, Yang Zhao, LV you, and bu Ying all brushed and knelt on one knee, arched their hands and said, "the last general is willing to follow the instructions of the princess and go up the mountain of swords and go down the sea of fire."

They are all Xiao Xuan's close ministers, naturally can understand Xiao Xuan's mind most. It is said that Xiao Xuan consulted them more than once or twice about the matter, which is basically a matter of certainty, but has not yet had time to write the imperial edict.

In the eyes of the generals, Xiao Xiang is the new king of Sichuan, and Xiao Xiang's order is equivalent to Wang Ling. In addition, Xiao Xiang's attitude towards fighting was just to their taste. In the eyes of the generals, Fengguo was absolutely abhorrent. It did not mention the matter of asking for silver, but it did not mention it at the very moment when the king died of illness. Obviously, it was in danger of taking advantage of others. Fengguo was so brazen that it would not be necessary to give them a lesson this time How to bully Sichuan even more.

Seeing all the generals kneeling down, Xiao Xiang was so excited that she could not help tears in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "all generals, please go easy!"

After the crowd stood up, she took a few deep breaths to calm down her excitement. She frowned and said, "general Bu's speculation just now is the same as what I thought in my palace. The extortion of the wind force is false, and the invasion of troops is true. However, the palace is still unable to determine where the wind troops will invade and where our country should garrison."
