I’m The King

Chapter 1363: : Prelude to the World of Han Qi (53)

Yingshui is a prefecture in Yingchuan County, but it is now occupied by the Han army. It is far away from Yingchuan County through the Yinghe River. If it weren’t for the different flags flying above the city on both sides, it would be difficult for ordinary people to realize that it was actually here. It is the front line of the confrontation between the two countries. In recent years, because of Tan Feng’s deliberate efforts, the two places have joined forces to create one of the most prosperous trading venues between the Qin and Han Dynasties. Yingshui and Yingchuan are also suitable for this reason. A large number of businessmen Gathering here, countless goods are traded here, contributing to the prosperity here.

The two cities are separated by a small distance from Yinghe River. Originally, this place was wasteland, but now, these places are filled with houses. Of course, these houses are not carefully crafted and built with great care. They are all made of mud as the wall and thatch as the roof, which is good for sheltering from wind and rain. If you really want to live in it, it may not be so comfortable.

The businessmen who trade here know that the two countries will have a battle sooner or later. It is obviously not a good idea to spend money here to build a house. Let the war together, let you be more beautiful. Gorgeous houses will become ruined walls.

But don’t underestimate these simple thatched houses. Any one of them, or at a certain moment, are thousands of big business. The two sides negotiate, and then there are ferry boats carrying countless goods. Two places, and then flying from these two cities to various places in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Because of this transaction, Yingshui became the most prosperous county government of the Han Dynasty. Fang Shu even pioneered the benevolence of distributing legal silver to the elderly over 60 years old, and was highly affirmed by this policy. It has also been implemented in Jishi County and Tianhe County, but in other places of Dahan, it is insufficient. Jishi County is the industrial capital of Dahan, where top merchants gather, and the annual taxation is amazing. However, Tianhe County is the seat of the capital Jicheng, the political center of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, he refuses to lag behind. Even if Tianhe County is a bit difficult to do, he can only bite his teeth in other places to increase income and reduce expenditure, and he is unwilling to lose this face. .

In Yingchuan County, Tan Feng used this market to earn a large amount of military expenditures and equipped his tens of thousands of troops with extremely sophisticated equipment, but most of his ordnance came from the Kingdom of Chu. In order to support Tan Feng, Huang Xie and Qu Zhong of the State of Chu also made a lot of money.

However, after the end of June, this once extremely fierce trading market suddenly became deserted. First, the top merchants retreated one after another. They were well-informed and ran faster than rabbits. One night passed, the agents of these top merchants. And the employees walked cleanly, and then. Others have also received news that the peace between Yingshui and Yingchuan County that has lasted for several years is about to become a thing of the past.

The merchants of the Han country retreated from Yingchuan County like a tide, and ferry boats were full of these merchants and left. Among them, there are naturally weeping. The big business people don't care about losing some goods. To them, it is just a drop in the bucket. But for those small and medium-sized businessmen, abandoning all the goods and the uncollected payment is a pain in the heart. Many of them came here to pan for gold because of the prosperous trading here, but obviously, their luck was extremely bad.

The next night after the Han merchants retired, Yingchuan County was announced to be closed. Suddenly there were countless heavily armed soldiers on the city wall, and a new bed crossbow that had just been torn off the blanket was installed on the city wall. Stone cannons were densely placed, and further away, huge slings. The machine was also properly installed. Beside them, the rounded stone bullets were stacked on one side, basket by basket. On the streets of the city, except for the soldiers hurriedly passing by, the common people either closed their doors or walked away from the city gate on the other side in a panic.

Qin and Han, it seems that a war is about to break out. Think about it, the Hangu Pass has already started, and Lubin is now fighting vigorously. The two countries have torn the last skin. Why is there no movement here?

The chaos in the city of Yingchuan County is because the people in Yingchuan County are afraid. In the past few years, the Qin and Han forces have not won the battle. They fought a battle or lost a battle. They lost their confidence long ago. Now that the two countries are going to war again, their first thought is naturally to flee.

Tan Feng didn’t care if these people escaped, nor would he announce his actual military goals to these refugees. He didn’t want the guys in Tai'an and Wulong to know his true purpose. For the Han army on the other side, Tan Feng was very determined in his heart. On the opposite side, there were only more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in a division led by the lofty brother-in-law Ye Feng, and his own military operation this time had also made corresponding arrangements for possible offensives on the other side. Over the past few years, he has run Yingchuan City, and he has already had full confidence in his defensive capabilities. Among other things, the wall covered with thick cement cannot be easily opened by opponents. What's more, he There is also the danger of Yingshui River.

In the past few years, he has not allowed the kind of reinforced concrete bridge to be built between the two cases. Even the size of the ship is limited. For large ships with more than a hundred materials, he will never allow them to drive on the Yingshui River. If Han If the army wants to attack, what can be done with those small boats that can only carry dozens of people at a time? The river bank near him was densely covered with carved buildings. The ballistas and stone cannons above can easily overturn these boats when they are still in the middle of the river. If the Han army wanted to land and fight, the middle of the river and the beachhead would be enough to make them pay a heavy price.

Does the army of less than 20,000 want to conquer the city of Yingchuan, which is defended by 20,000? Really dreaming. Tan Feng estimated that if he were to command and conquer Yingchuan County, which was guarded by 20,000 people, at least 50,000 to 100,000 people would be needed. The death toll in China will definitely exceed 10,000, and the Han army is absolutely unwilling to bear such a large price.

Over the years, I haven't thought about offense. I have been planning how to defend and how to turn Yingchuan County into a solid foundation. This is Tan Feng's true thoughts.

Therefore, when all this came, he safely left Gongsun Zheng defending the city, and he followed Gongsun Yan to Tai'an. For him, the most important thing now is to take down Tai'an and Wulong. Tai'an is the next ruling center in his plan, and there is no room for loss.

Occupying the three counties of Wulong, Tai'an, and Yingchuan, he has a strategic depth and room for maneuver. When that happens, whether it is to weigh himself in front of Lu Chao, or to bargain with Chu, he will have it. Greater capital. What Lu Chao can do today, why can't he do it in the future? What's more, he is much better than Lu Chao on top of the geographical position. Although it is bordered by both Han and Chu, they must be very happy to see themselves against Lu Chao. Being in the cracks of the Three Kingdoms, although living a life like stepping on a steel wire, it may not be really dangerous. Or at a certain time, the three countries will all want to win over themselves!

With the two places in Tai'an and Wulong, Tan Feng believes that he can manage them as prosperous as Yingchuan. Over the years, separated from Yingshui City by a river, Tan Feng has been researching by virtue of the convenient location. The reason for Gao Yuan’s success is Dahan Weekly. He does not pull the first issue, and he often finds some businessmen in Han to talk with them. He has learned the set of Gao Yuan, of course, he has to learn. It's just his way of prospering the country and the people. As for the **** big parliament, big councilors, and the basic-level officials and people's self-selection system that Gao Yuan committed suicide politically, you don't have to think about it.

Studying Han in economics, and Lu Chao's authoritarian rule in politics. Combining the two, he will create a stronger force and appear in front of the world. Han Chu himself can't chew, but in the future, why can't he cannibalize the two parties that are about to fight in Daqin step by step in the future? Whether Lu Chao wins or Yingying wins, the ultimate goal is to replace people.

Tan Feng is full of 3617 hopes to leave the chaotic Yingchuan County. It doesn't matter if the people are in chaos, as long as the army is not chaos, it will be enough. Those who fled, they will come back someday.

Different from the panic of the people in Yingchuan County, Yingshui City on the opposite side has a different appearance. Although there are obviously more soldiers on the street, all kinds of carriages for transporting weapons and weapons are also driving from a distance one by one. Entering the city, but there is no martial law in the city. The people still do what they are doing. On the contrary, every shop has a good business because of the Chinese people who withdrew from the city of Yingchuan County. The major inns are full~www.wuxiaspot.com~The full hall will always be there. There will be no seats available, and everyone is drinking and drinking while discussing this sudden change.

"This time it seems that there is really going to be a war. This business must be affected." Someone said, this is the landlord of Yingshui City. I am a guest shop. It is still full of business. I really want to fight. I am afraid that the flow of people will drop sharply. During the war, there is not much business. Those who can do war business are the top merchants. These people are a minority, and they would not choose small shops like them.

"We must fight, you know? I heard that we had a big defeat in Lubin! The king was furious, so we must teach these Qin people a good lesson."

"Brother, when have you got the news? Didn't you read the latest issue of Dahan Weekly, Lubin was taken back by us long ago, the previous small defeat, I guess we deliberately showed weakness, and then attracted the enemy to the bait , And then hit them hard."

"What? Lubin has already taken it back. I have stayed opposite for the past ten days and only came back today. Is this true?"

"Look for yourself, this report is posted on the store's wall!" Someone laughed: "I really don't know what you have been looking at for so long in the store, and you haven't even noticed it." (To be continued. )
