Section 90 Yanli
It seemed that he was pulled back by several brothers, and Hong Kui's eyes fell on Hu Biao: "Da Biao, don't underestimate those bandits. They are familiar with each other. Although they are on land, they should not be underestimated. Be careful of capsizing in the gutter. You have to think more about how to fight next."
"Don't worry, boss, I know that after staying here for so many years, I'm in Xuchang, Shouzhang, and Sucheng, and there are still some people who have already arranged this. Although the above has not issued an order, I dare not be negligent. The stupid bird flies first, and it's always right to go to the front." Hu Biao smiled and wiped his mouth: "Don't worry, boss, I won't give you a face."
"Well, just understand. As soon as the Privy Council was established, the General Staff Department was said to have already started to make strategies. Haizhou and Yunzhou are both must-have places for county officials. And I guess that within three months, Haizhou will be taken. As for Yunzhou, it will not be delayed for too long. Everything will definitely be settled before the end of next spring."
Hong Kui let out a sigh of relief. Hu Biao was thick on the outside and secret on the inside. In addition, he was very familiar with the northern part of Yunzhou. Otherwise, he would not dare to recommend the other party to the commander of the Third Army of the Wuning Left Army. You must know that taking this position will also take considerable risks. Now it seems that his vision is correct. Hu Biao knows priorities.
"Then I have to work harder after I go back. The combat effectiveness of this Luzhou army is still good. Even if it is not as good as the gangs under our command, it is not far from that. Chai Yong's military skills are still some tricks. I heard that they are also powerful people at the Little Heavenly Territory. I'm afraid they are no worse than you, the boss." Hu Biao nodded.
"Hmph, do you think the county officials are targeted? As a general, the level of martial arts is not the most important thing. The key lies in the method of training and the way of using troops. Chai Yong was originally the commander of the Desheng Army of Wu, and he was an extremely powerful character himself." Hong Kui's expressionless face, "No one who can get into the eyes of the county officials is a false reputation."
"Boss, that King Shumi envoy..." Gu Conghu hesitated for a moment.
"Do you think his martial arts skills are not good?" Hong Kui glanced at the other party.
Gu Conghu nodded honestly.
"He is a son of Wang Rong, the former commander of Chengde Army. He is a family of generals. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as me, I am far less than him in strategic vision and military strategy." Hong Kui was like telling something that had nothing to do with him. "The county duke relies very much on him, and this cavalry commander is also for him to be temporarily replaced. It is estimated that others will take over in the future."
"Boss, can't you..." Lang Ya couldn't help but say.
"We have just joined the county duke and have not made any contributions. I am afraid that many people will be dissatisfied with the fact that the county duke can promote me to this position." Hong Kui shook his head, "I don't want anything else now. If you train this army well, the war will be very fierce and frequent in the future, and we won't be too much time, so I have been the most worried about this in the past few days."
Gu Conghu and the other two looked at each other, not quite understanding the boss's concerns. The war was fierce and frequent. Isn't this a good thing? How can you get promoted without a war? Appoint a wife and a cute child? Isn't this what everyone has always longed for?
It seemed that he had guessed the inner doubts of his old subordinate, Hong Kui shook her head, but she didn't reveal much.
In fact, the conversation between the county magistrate and himself was also somewhat reserved. Of course, the reservation was not a distrust of himself, otherwise there would be no need to summon him to have such a conversation. Perhaps it was because he was not prepared or was still uncertain about the change in the situation in the north.
But some things that were revealed in the words of the county magistrate were enough to shake him, north?
Pinglu, Heshuo, and Daliang? It seems that they are not yet, and they are even further away. Hedong and the Khitans? Are these the enemy opponents that the county magistrate is actively preparing to deal with?
If so, where will the battlefield in the future be? It must be Heshuo or the western part of Pinglu, and the cavalry will become the main force. No wonder the county guild explained to itself in an extremely solemn tone. This is by no means a pretending gesture. Hong Kui, who has been up and down for decades, can feel it.
Hong Kui was not worried about the cavalry under his command, but he had to train a cavalry team of up to 15,000 people within half a year, and even a cavalry that was comparable to the Khitan Iron Cavalry and Shatu Iron Cavalry. It is impossible not to say that this challenge is very difficult.
Now even the war horses are different. Even though the county magistrate repeatedly promised to provide thousands of war horses in place within three months, Hong Kui was still a little worried, where did these thousands of war horses come from?
Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy such a large number of war horses immediately.
***************************************************
In any case, winning Xuzhou is a great gain for Jiang Feng, which means that Huaiyou (Wunning) already has the strength to fight the first battle. Even though there is still a lot of room for discussion in this battle, there is no doubt that Huaiyou won this battle.
Even though Haizhou has not been brought back yet, even if Nan Yingzhou is lost again, and even if Yunzhou is still occupied by lake bandits, the four prefectures of Xu, Si, Yan and Yi are actually included in the bag.
In addition to these four prefectures, the incorporation of more than 30,000 troops into the Huaiyou (Wunning) system is undoubtedly a huge gain. Of course, it will take some time to completely digest and integrate these more than 30,000 troops into the Huaiyou (Wunning) military system.
However, Jiang Feng was not very worried about this. For these armies, even if they still have some independence and some marks of the mountain system, with the subsequent wars coming, they will soon be tempered and sublimated in the war, gradually eliminate and refine those impurities, and become a member of the real Huaiyou (Wunning) army.
Just like the Luzhou Army, the Qin and Han dynasties, Chai Yong and Luo Chenggan, the generals, had just experienced this war that was not quite a bit in Jiang Feng's eyes, and had automatically incorporated themselves into the Huaiyou (Wunning) military system, and even began to examine the newly included Influence Army and Taining Army with a picky perspective. This shows how great the war has transformed an army.
If you ask Qin and Han people now, no one would believe that they still miss Yang Pu. The historic rise of Huaiyou (Wunning) has made them deeply feel that only by following themselves can their life value be reflected. Jiang Feng believes that it will not take long before the newly incorporated Influence Army and Taining Army will have the same feeling.
However, no matter how beautiful the outlook is, it will still come to reality. With the promotion of the military reorganization and reorganization team, the most realistic problem in front of Jiang Feng is that he has no money.
Grain can still be maintained. After all, the savings in Shouzhou and the income from Luzhou in the past two years are enough to support the difficulties in Yanyi. The requirements of these two places are not high. As long as there is food transportation north and the grain prices can be suppressed, not everyone in these two places cannot afford to eat. It is just that those who have nothing need government relief to maintain their livelihoods.
The local situation has gradually stabilized, but how to satisfy the military equipment of tens of thousands of troops is the problem that really tests Huaiyou (Wunning).
***************************************************
"Haizhou Yanli?" Chen Wei and Du Tuo were both surprised and looked at each other.
Of course, the salt benefits of Haizhou are considerable, but once the distance cannot quench the near thirst, Haizhou is still in the hands of the Pinglu army. It will take at least a period of preparation to fight this battle. In addition, it must also be considered to fight the Pinglu army. This is another huge hole.
Secondly, Haizhou salt liability has always been in the hands of salt merchants in Haizhou and Xuzhou. For now, to influence the interests of this group, it will definitely cause renewed turmoil in the situation.
You should know that these salt merchants have a great influence, and now they support Jiang Feng in taking over Xuzhou. Even after Jiang Feng took over Xuzhou, Xuzhou salt merchants took the initiative to make contributions, and the number was not small. Now they are about to turn against each other, which can easily affect Jiang Feng's reputation.
"Well, I have considered it. This is probably the only one that can be taken out and that can make Sogdian merchants tempted." Jiang Feng seemed very calm.
"But..." Chen Wei hesitated a little.
He knew that the most popular thing in the county magistrate recently was shortage of money, and the only source was probably borrowing.
The Persian Hu merchants had done their best, but there was still a considerable gap. To make up for this gap, they could only come from the Sogdian merchants. He also knew that the Sogdian merchants had purchased a large number of war horses for Huaiyou in the early stage. The next step was that the amount would be even larger, and the money required was huge. It was difficult for non-Sorgdian merchants to support this business. However, this salt profit was related to the wealth of a country and the livelihood of thousands of households, so they had to be cautious.
Du Tuo simply opposed it firmly: "Your Majesty, this method is inappropriate. Haizhou's salt profit has a great relationship. Once the market in Huainan and Huainbei is unified, Haizhou's salt profit will usher in a major growth period. I heard that the Lord Majesty intends to expand the scale of the salt farm after regaining Haizhou and adopt the new salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-salt-s
It should be said that Du Tuo's opinions are also very pertinent. Once a unified market is formed in Huainan, Huainan and Yan, Yun and Yi, the salt of Haizhou can be successfully marketed in various places.
The reason why Yangzhou salt merchants are rich is that they previously monopolized the sales of salt from the entire Haizhou and Chuzhou in the entire Wuyue land. All merchants from the south of the Yangtze River must obtain the right to distribute salt from the Yangzhou salt merchants. This profit is a huge profit and cannot be left out of any government.
Now due to the division of Huainan, the original unified market was disrupted and the salt transportation was blocked, so the salt price also soared. However, as long as the market is unified and Haizhou is captured, it is conceivable that the large market salt profit of more than 10 million people in these more than ten states is expected.
