Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

God-given food is indeed a very eye-catching gimmick, which has both "heaven" and the hearts of the people.

Lin Ning originally didn't intend to put Chongsi rice or Champa rice at the bottom of the box, but it's not easy to promote it when the world is in chaos. In addition, He Shibi from Cihang Jingzhai is "watching" beside him, So we had to find another way to promote it.

Selling it to various forces is one of them.

Lin Ning is also very clear that most of them are aiming at the name of "God-given God's Food". After obtaining the rice seeds, it is very unlikely that they will spend a lot of energy to promote them in the land they occupy. Either the leaders have far-sighted vision, or Many of the rebels were more brutal than the Sui army.

Lin Ning didn't care too much, and her main purpose was not here.

However, since the rare rice seeds are to be inhabited, the news cannot be transmitted through the Song Clan, at least the Song Clan cannot be the one selling the rare goods.

This requires a stakeholder.

Lin Ning said slowly: "I recommend Hailong Gang."

Song Zhi smiled knowingly: "Isn't that a gang developed under your name?"

Lin Ning corrected: "It's not a gang, it's the Maritime Chamber of Commerce."

The Song Clan kept a low profile in Lingnan, and needed gold and silver everywhere for the development of their people. Originally, their biggest source of income was the sale of private salt. However, as Du Fuwei’s Jianghuai Army occupied the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Song Clan was restricted from walking on the waterways. , but before that, in fact, the economic center of gravity of the Song Clan was gradually shifting.

Lin Ning has developed a chamber of commerce, so she can't always let Mrs. Song support her.

In addition to thinking about open source because she has too many places to spend money, this chamber of commerce has other uses.

Speaking of chambers of commerce, there are two major chambers of commerce on land, one in the south and one in the north. These two chambers of commerce control more than [-]% of the transactions in the north and the south.The chairman of the Northern Chamber of Commerce is Rong Fengxiang, and the Southern Chamber of Commerce is "Fat Jia" Anlong. This Anlong is also the sworn brother of Song Yuhua's father-in-law "Judge" Xie Hui. But they are all from the Demon Sect.

It is also one of the eight masters. Among them, Rong Fengxiang is the master of Laojun temple, a branch of true preaching, and he pays attention to both yin and yang, ranking sixth, headed by "Yin Empress" Zhu Yuyan; "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan belongs to a faction.

You said that this is not that, why are there people from the Demon Sect everywhere?

And if it wasn't for the fact that the two of them have different scores, then they could join hands to control the economic lifeline of the Central Plains, and what bicycles are needed.

no……

What else do you want to fight over?

Of course, the status of businessmen in this season has dropped a lot compared to before, and many people often ignore their role.

Having said that, Lin Ning was unable to compete with these two major chambers of commerce in a short period of time, so she opened up another channel, organized a group of maritime merchants, and occupied the Chiweihuangwei Island, Nanxiao Island, and Beixiao Island in the East China Sea. Fishing Island.

Lin Ning has boats, detailed sea charts, technology, weapons, business sources, etc., so that the Dragon Gang has become a well-known caravan across the East China Sea in just two years.

The trading area of ​​the Hailong Gang is not only the Dongming faction occupying Ryukyu, but also Koryo, Silla and Baekje to the south of Koryo.Of course, there are also frequent trade exchanges with coastal areas, and the goods that open up trading channels are sea salt.

Lin Ning provided the method of drying salt in seawater. In order to prevent big neck disease, he also added iodine to sea salt.

In addition, goods are resold in different places, buying low and selling high, which can be said to be a big money grab.

It's not like the Hailong Gang hasn't been targeted before. You must know that almost all of the famous eight gangs and ten factions in the Central Plains have a strong backer, whether they are high-ranking lords, or rebels, and even Di Yang is behind the Baling Gang. wide.A gang like the Hailong Gang that can amass a lot of money is naturally a piece of fat.

It's just a piece of fat that can't be eaten.

This probably has something to do with the Sea Dragon Gang's occasional cameo as a pirate, but in private they are a well-trained navy.

So far, Lin Ning is the only one who knows that the Hailong Gang is related to the Song Clan.

Therefore, choosing a third party, Dragonsea Gang is just right.

Now that the relevant parties have been selected, the next step is to pretend to be confused, because the fat fish has taken the bait.

Just as Lin Ning thought, the attraction of "God-bestowed Divine Food" to all parties is no less than that of Heshi Yuxi. All the existing forces have been wiped out.

Among them are the Yuwen Clan and the Dugu Clan who seem to be standing behind Emperor Yang Guang, and the Li Clan who are still standing still.

Lin Ning looked at the transaction amount to assess the strength of all parties.

Song Zhi commented: "I'm not surprised at all."

Lin Ning raised his eyes.

Song Zhi pointed to the Lonely Man and said: "Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty's Yue family, the head of his family is Dugufeng, but when it comes to martial arts, Dugufeng's mother, You Chuhong, is firmly in the top spot. Before that, Dugufeng's son, Duguce, was there. Dongnanhai showed up, if our family's information is true, then he came to Dongnanhai to further win over the giant kun gang."

Song Zhi sneered: "It is rumored that the Jukun Gang has no backing, and it is all supported by the gang leader Yun Yuzhen."

The Jukun Gang is one of the three major gangs in the southeast. The gang leader Yunyu's real name is "Red Pink Gang Leader". There are also the Haisha Gang attached to the Yuwen Clan, and the Shuilong Gang closely related to the Song Clan.

Lin Ning said indifferently: "It's like the outside world doesn't know that Hailong Gang is attached to me."

Song Zhi: "..."

Song Zhi glared at the sabotaging niece, and changed the subject: "Who is the Li family who came forward?"

Lin Ning kept his eyes fixed: "Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin."

Song Zhi mused, "Li Yuan is indecisive, rebellious but hesitant because of his reputation."

Lin Ning thought that Li Shimin valued "God-sent God's Bread", and he probably wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Li Yuan not to hesitate any longer and miss the opportunity. Even in the original plot, in order to force Li Yuan to rebel, Li Shimin asked Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to go Stealth records of Li Yuan's purchase of weapons from the Dongming faction.

Lin Ning said with a half-smile, "Our family is not indecisive, and we are still standing still."

Song Zhi took a deep look at her: "Our family was originally ready for everything, we only owe the east wind."

What their family lacks is a young marshal who can charge forward and lead the army.

Now that Lin Ning has made up for this defect, it doesn't make sense for the Song Clan to stay dormant like this, so that in the end they lost the opportunity.

Lin Ning corrected his posture and said, "I understand."

·

The god-given rice still has to be fermented, but when the fermentation is over, the major forces will probably come back to it.Originally, they thought they were the only ones, but they didn't think that almost everyone has it. This is not cheated, although they will also know that the Hailong Gang can't just take one side of the business, but they understand it, but the Hailong Gang It's enough hatred.

Therefore, Lin Ning ordered the Hailong Gang to secretly go south and enter the sea area under the control of the Song Clan.

Furthermore, the Song Clan also changed their previous low-key attitude and relaxed the blockade on the information of Xindao, so that the news of Xindao spread faster than other regions.And other forces, after getting the rice from heaven, can't wait to publicize it, so as to boost morale and recruit troops.

After hearing this, the common people were very excited.

Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can't help but look forward to it.

Now not only is the world in chaos, but natural disasters are also constant.A few years ago, the crops were out of season, rice buckets were worth hundreds of dollars, there was a severe drought in the north and a drought in the southeast, and the people desperately needed a new hope. They are not too desperate.

It's kind of sad.

Under such circumstances, the god-given food spread quickly across the country.

All parties stood on the same starting line again, and then each of them will rely on their own abilities. The Song faction vigorously promoted the new rice in Lingnan, which attracted the attention of the north of Lingnan.

It's not difficult to understand. The Song Clan used to keep a low profile, and there was no sign of raising an army, nor heard that Song Que was going to leave the mountain. Now the Song Clan's big move on Xindao, is it sending a signal:

The Song Clan is going to march north?

Wagang Village

Li Mi showed the information he had received to his trusted subordinates, and after passing it on, he frowned and said: "This is not in line with our expectations."

Shen Luoyan, who sat down at the head of his right hand, said: "In our expectation, Song Que would at least consider marching after the Sui army's strength was wiped out by us. Just think about it carefully, Du Fuwei defeated Liyang However, we didn’t see the Song clan sending people to form an alliance with us as we expected, and they have curbed Du Fuwei’s tendency to occupy the Yangtze River westward, which is a bit unusual.”

Wang Bodang on the left said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that the Song Clan just vainly fired a shot? They just used the name of God's food to win the hearts of the people."

Shen Luoyan said slowly: "But it is impossible for the Song Clan to be indifferent to Du Fuwei's momentum, and the possibility of going north this time is very high." She frowned as she spoke.

Li Mi asked: "What did Luo Yan think of?"

Shen Luoyan rubbed the back of his hand lightly: "How does Mi Gong think of Song Que's son Song Shidao?"

Li Mi pondered and said: "It's far inferior to Song Que."

Wang Bodang echoed: "No one knows the prestige of Tiandao, Song Shidao is a young talent who can be ranked first, but I don't know how many people treat him with courtesy because of his father."

Shen Luoyan nodded: "I also thought that Song Que was not in a hurry to go north for a while, and he didn't make any big moves against the surrounding forces. It was because Song Shidao was not yet mature, so he was told to be cautious. Now it seems that there may be changes, and we have to be prepared. yes."

Li Mi's eyes lit up with a cold light, he was very jealous of Song Que, "If the Song clan sent troops to the north, the first one he would have to deal with would be 'Qingjiao' Ren Shaoming, because Ren Shaoming's iron cavalry would support him Only then can Lin Shihong be able to overwhelm Xiao Xian and become the most powerful man in the south of the Yangtze River."

At present, there are five major forces in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zitong, who occupies Jiangdu, and Shen Faxing, who is located in the southeast. The army's road to the northwest was blocked by Li Zitong and Du Fuwei, while the south was restricted by the Song Dynasty, so it was difficult to make big moves for a while.

Xiao Xian occupies the land of Baling, and he himself is the second gang leader of the Baling gang, and the other is the magistrate of Baling, and has always been relatively supported by the local wealthy gentry;

Lin Shihong led the Poyang Army with Poyang as the center, and was closely related to the Cavalry Association that dominated the south of the Yangtze River. The combination of powerful forces gave Lin Shihong an advantage in the southern battle.

It can be said that the iron cavalry will be the key point, and it is best to start with him if you want to change the situation in Jiangnan.

Shen Luoyan nodded: "What orders does Mi Gong have?"

Li Mi thought for a while and said, "I'll write a letter to Nanhai Xianweng."

Speaking of which, the Song Clan is located in the south of the Lingnan, and it is said that it is Guangdong in later generations. In Guangxi, the Song Clan has a wider sphere of influence. If you go north, you can reach the Yangtze River, but it does not have absolute dominance as in the Lingnan area.

Further south, Hainan Island is not the territory of the Song Clan.

It was occupied by the Nanhai faction, the largest faction in the south, and the leader was Mei Xun, but the number one master in the faction was Chao Gongcuo, the "Nanhai Immortal".Chao Gongcuo is a master of Ning Daoqi's generation. It is said that when Chao Gongcuo and Ning Daoqi fought in Leizhou, they were only defeated by Ning Daoqi's Sanshou Bapu after a hundred moves. It can be said that the defeat is glorious.

Also, although the Nanhai faction borders the Song Clan, the relationship between the two families is not only not close, but on the contrary, they are at the same level.

And Li Mi's father had been kind to the Nanhai faction, so after Li Mi raised his army, he sent special envoys to win over Chao Gongcuo again and again, so that Chao Gongcuo and the Hainan faction could become his great help.Now that the Song Clan is making big moves, perhaps this is a great opportunity to form an alliance, and even if there is no alliance, the Hainan faction behind the Song Clan can become a sharp knife at critical moments.

Lin Ning is studying mines with Lu San.

As the name suggests, a sea mine is an explosive weapon deployed in water, just like a mine in water.Over the past few days, Lu San has researched from firecrackers to black powder, and then developed various uses of black powder, and mines are only one of them.

In Lin Ning's view, the mines they made could not be more simple. They used wooden boxes as shells, glued the seams with putty, filled them with black powder, connected the ropes below with iron anchors, controlled the depth, and fired manually. .

But its power really stunned everyone who was basically using cold weapons.

Lin Ning was indifferent in a daze: "Well, it's okay."

Song Zhi almost didn't hit her: "What's okay? Even if Lu Miaozi was around, he might not be able to create such a thrilling and lethal weapon."

Lin Ning giggled and said, "If I say Second Uncle you're making a fuss, will you really want to hit me?"

Song Zhi: "...I will!"

Lin Ning didn't owe it that much, but she decided to wait until she researched a mine that could be detonated non-manually, so she wouldn't let them, the Muggles, watch it. She felt a little ashamed to see them so shocked.

Alas, she's still not that thick-skinned.

But why mines?

That's because it was not the north that fired the first shot, but the south to take the Nanhai faction.

It's just that you have to go north if you go north.

The Song clan is located in the south of Lingnan, far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, which has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that you can develop your troops with peace of mind, but the disadvantage is that you are far away from the battleground for military strategists, and it is not easy to travel from south of Lingnan to the south, let alone marching.Looking at the north of the Yangtze River, there are not only land roads, but also the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that connects the north and the south, so it is necessary to solve the problem of travel.

Cement is mainly used for road construction.

But the concrete road does not mean that it is paved, and the people must be requisitioned.

This is the case at present. The Song Clan expropriates civilians to lay cement roads, and correspondingly distributes Champa rice seeds. After the Champa rice matures, the Song Clan will collect some of them and give them to the civilians who will be requisitioned on the road ahead.

One is to pave roads, the other is to promote Champa rice, and the other is to accumulate crop after crop.

The Song Clan's army will also go north, releasing a signal that the Song Clan is going north to confuse the enemy.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Doing so has indeed confused everyone, including the Nanhai faction that controls Hainan.

The "Nanhai Immortal" Chao Gongcuo was talking to Mei Xun, the leader of the Nanhai faction, that they were going north to seek allies to fight against the Song Clan with a knife hanging over their heads.Although Mei Xun is the leader of the gang, he is Chao Gongcuo's disciple and grandson, and Chao Gongcuo is still at the helm of the Hainan faction. Therefore, when Chao Gongcuo said that he was inclined to choose Li Mi, Mei Xun was dissatisfied, but he could only Euphemistically speaking, although Li Mi's Wagang Army is one of the most powerful insurgents, the leader of the Wagang Army is Zhai Rang.

Chao Gongcuo didn't take it seriously: "Zhai made this man stupid. Most of the Wagang Army's powerful troops have been under Li Mi's command. Sooner or later, the Wagang Army will be dispatched by Li Mi."

Mei Xun wanted to say something else, but Chao Gongcuo went on to say: "Not to mention that Li Mi's father is kind to our Hainan faction, but—"

Before Chao Gongcuo finished speaking, there was an urgent report outside the door:

The Song fleet has entered Zhuya County.

Chao Gong made a mistake: "!!!"

Mei Xun: "!!!"

How can this be?

Didn't it mean that the Song Clan was going north?

And why did they find out that their fleet had already sailed to their base camp?

The two of them didn't bother to continue what they said just now, so they hurried out and dispatched forces from the gang to resist the Song fleet.Chao Gongcuo is still wondering if Song Que has left the mountain this time?After all, he is also at the master level, so it is not so easy to defeat the Nanhai faction.

But regardless of whether "Heaven Sword" Song Que didn't come, even "Earth Sword" Song Zhi wasn't there either.

This time it was Lin Ning who led the army, and she was the one who made the overall arrangements. Not only did she attack Hainan with lightning speed, but when the fleet arrived at Zhuya County, the people in Zhuya County were belatedly aware of it.

Caught off guard, he was caught off guard.

Before the mines exploded, the artillery shells exploded first.

The sailors on the fleet pulled the dragline, and the tip of the gun flipped over suddenly, and the shells in the leather nest popped out, and what was thrown out was a ball wrapped in hemp paper and hemp leather, coated with pitch and yellow wax.

As soon as this "hidden weapon" fell into the enemy camp, there was only a loud bang, and then a burst of flames rose into the air, and a choking smoke spewed out.

The members of the Nanhai faction were still in shock under the loud noise and flames, and were attacked by the poisonous smoke. They were caught off guard by bleeding from their mouths and noses, and passed out on the ground.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and ran away subconsciously. It can be seen that the blow just now really scared them, not much worse than the coming of the Heavenly Sword.

Lin Ning, dressed in military uniform, stood at the bow of the ship, in full bloom and high spirits.
