Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Originally, neither Li Shimin nor Chu Xin paid much attention to Lingnan Road without Chu Mo as a troublemaker.

In their view, Yang Hongyu is just a child of the world who knows nothing and can only use personal force to speak.

Although the other party is now in a corner and has occupied Lingnan Road, it is just that he has not yet freed up his hands to deal with her.

After the opponent is eliminated on his side, it will not be too easy to deal with Yang Hongyu who is alone.

But when the news came that the Nanzhao kingdoms, Linyi and Zhenla had been destroyed.

Li Shimin and Chu Xin knew that they were wrong, and they were very wrong.

Although the Nanzhao Kingdoms, Linyi and Zhenla are only small areas, because the terrain there is dangerous and has been shrouded in poisonous gas for many years, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult for ordinary troops to enter.

But Yang Hongyu could remain silent and wipe out those small countries before anyone could react, which shows how terrifying his military strength is.

The most important thing is that Yang Hongyu's own strength is already unparalleled in the world. Now that Yu Neishengzun has such a powerful army in his hands, she is no longer a piece of fish at the mercy of others.

The other party has grown into a giant that even he has to face up to.

Due to the sudden rise of Yang Hongyu, Li Shimin and Chu Xin tacitly stopped fighting and began to turn their attention to Lingnan Road.

They don't want to be beaten to death in front of them, and someone will pick the peaches in the end.

As a result, the two sides once again began to send detailed operations to Lingnan Road, hoping to get into it to find out the news.

However, the current Lingnan Road is more tightly controlled than the Lingnan Road five years ago.

Not to mention that the craftsmen sent by Li Shimin and Chu Xin were unable to enter, even ordinary caravan transactions were not allowed to enter Lingnan Road and could only stay in Wugang on the outskirts of Lingnan Road for transactions.

After many failed attempts at spying, Chu Xin came up with a solution: send someone to advise Li Shimin to prohibit the caravans in Datang from trading with merchants from Lingnan Road.

As long as it does not trade with Lingnan Road, it will be trapped there directly in just ten or eight years.

When Li Shimin first heard this suggestion, he thought that the admonisher was just wishful thinking. The entire Lingnan Road was so big, how could it trap the opponent to death?

However, when the Ministry of Revenue handed over the transaction details between Datang Caravan and Lingnan Road, Li Shimin was completely shocked.

Looking at the various names of living supplies on the list, as well as various controlled ores and materials, Li Shimin finally understood why the opponent's army was so powerful.

Although Lingnan Road is only a small area, the supplies purchased from outside every year are already equivalent to one-third of the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty.

No wonder Datang has plagiarized Chu Xin's various technologies, and productivity has increased significantly, but various materials are still in short supply.

All the feelings fell on Lingnan Dao.

I thought about how I had spent the past few years trying to steal technology from Chu Xin and improve production methods, but the bulk of it was bought by that girl Yang Hongyu.

Li Shimin was so angry.

Immediately, he announced the closure of all commercial dealings with Lingnan Road and deployed additional troops to prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to retaliate.

However, what Li Shimin didn't know was that his decision would cause him to suffer a big loss.

At the same time, both Chu Xin and Yang Hongyu received embargo orders issued by Li Shimin.

Chu Xin looked in the direction of Chang'an with joy on her face.

He had successfully provoked a conflict between the two families, and now he just had to sit back and watch the fight.

After Yang Hongyu heard that Datang had issued an embargo order to cut off business dealings with her, she understood Li Shimin's intentions.

She didn't take it to heart at all.

Instead, he directly asked Zhai Changsun to lead a fleet along the sea route directly to Jiangnan East Road to purchase the supplies needed for the territory.

However, when Zhai Changsun arrived at the Quanzhou Pier with his fleet and wanted to dock, everyone on the dock began to take precautions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Before Zhai Changsun could send someone to negotiate, the forts on both sides of the dock launched a direct attack.

If it weren't for the general leading the team on the pier who was too nervous and failed to calculate the firing distance of the cannon.

It is impossible to say that Zhai Changsun will suffer a big loss.

Although the opponent's attacks all fell into the sea, Zhai Changsun believed that the opponent's undeclared war and active attack were a naked provocation against him.

Moreover, Datang has now closed the mutual market, and does not allow caravans to trade with Lingnan Road, which is considered to have locked up Lingnan Road.

The reason why I went to such great lengths to trade was because of the embargo.

Zhai Changsun, who had some objections to Datang in the first place, directly ordered a counterattack after suffering a round of attacks.

Not only that, after he destroyed all the forts on the dock, he directly let the soldiers on the ship land to fight.

At this time, there were not many officers and soldiers stationed on Jiangnan East Road. Most of the soldiers had already been transferred to the front line to prevent the attack on Huainan Road.

At this time, there were only two or three kittens and puppies left in the entire Quanzhou city. How could they resist Zhai Changsun's attack.

In just one and a half hours, Zhai Changsun led his troops to the city lord's palace.

After taking control of Quanzhou City, Zhai Changsun simply asked his soldiers to look for supplies on the spot without stopping.

As for the supplies they found, they only had to hand over [-]% to the fleet, and the rest belonged to the soldiers themselves.

After hearing this order, the soldiers immediately rushed into every household in Quanzhou City like crazy, especially those from prominent families.

On this day, there were loud shouts and thick smoke billowing in Quanzhou City. There were all kinds of begging for mercy, curses and screams from all directions.

After plundering Quanzhou City, Zhai Changsun did not satisfy his greed.

He directly ordered the fleet to go directly to the next city-Fuzhou along the coastline.

After that, Zhai Changsun looted Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Yuezhou one after another, and finally arrived in Hangzhou.

Originally, he wanted to loot Hangzhou as well, but Chu Xin, who had received the news a long time ago, stationed heavy troops in Hangzhou in advance and did not give Zhai Changsun a chance to get close.

Zhai Changsun, who clearly sensed the opponent's defense, did not hesitate to fight, and directly ordered the fleet to evacuate Hangzhou and move towards the next city.

However, this time he "passed" three coastal cities in a row, but they were all bombarded with artillery on the grounds that they were unable to receive them.

He knew that the other party was on guard, and his mission seemed to have been almost completed.

As a result, Zhai Changsun took the fleet directly and wanted to return to Leizhou City.
