As soon as the bone whistle sounded, he stabbed the gun straight.
When the cow horns are blown, bend the bow and shoot.
With the drum beat, the whole army advanced.
On the muddy ground that seemed to be untidy, thousands of soldiers from the left camp of Silver Gun were practicing routinely.
They will leave at the end of September at the latest. It is really hard to count on the battle for a year.
But this is recruiting troops.
Recruiting soldiers and getting food every month, and there are rewards during festivals and festivals. Regular military competitions also have generous rewards, and all you need is to fight around the clock.
The soldiers and the soldiers of the government are subject to agricultural production and cannot go on a long-term battle. They must have a long rest period. However, recruiting soldiers requires that they can pursue the enemy during storms and thunderstorms, and they can also fight in battle when there is a storm. They cannot be caused by the weather.
, the farming work is tiring, and I can tolerate a long expedition for one or two years before I can get a train.
As a meritorious force, Silver Gun Left Camp naturally can do this. Perhaps, the only one who can defeat them is the difficult climate. The trainees are not full, and the sick soldiers are scattered in the city of Ji Nan.
The people are responsible for taking care of the households. The advantage is that they can receive some food as subsidies.
In order to curb the epidemic in the army, Jiang Ke, the governor of the Silver Gun Zuoying, (who served as the prefect of Nanjun) formulated strict military regulations. The core is that he is not allowed to drink raw water, he is not allowed to touch the water body with snails at will. If he is sick, he must not hide it and report it immediately.
, try not to go to untapped wilderness.
In short, stay in the city and don’t run around, just complete your task of suppressing the place.
The location of the training of the Silver Gun Zuoying today is in the west of Jiangling City.
The market has been opened in the lakeside not far away.
Zhao's family had already sold the goods. At this time, a large number of empty ships arrived in Jiangling City through Xiashui. Huan Wen and the princess's family walked around the market and prepared to buy some goods and bring them back to the north for sale.
A merchant who only does one business trip is unqualified. The most important thing now is to spend the money obtained from selling goods and exchange them for southern goods. This is the true meaning of the business of goods.
However, they soon discovered that the merchants were a little absent-minded by the training of the Silver Gun Zuoying.
Even the shouting sound was a little less.
Huan Wen and Liu Miao looked at each other and smiled.
What surprised them was that there were actually many Hu merchants in the western city of Jiangling, but they didn’t know where they came from.
As soon as Huan Wen approached a wooden house, he smelled a frankincense.
This thing can be used as medicine or as a spice. Huan Wen knew that this thing was found in the incense burner placed by Princess Jingfu at home, and it was extremely refreshing when the incense was ignited.
But he did not stop here, but just secretly wrote down and continued to move forward.
A bamboo shed was set up next to the spice shop. In the shed were merchants from Xiangzhou, and wooden boxes were placed on the table. Seeing Huan Wen and Liu Miao coming, they immediately got up to greet him and opened a box.
The box is wrapped with moist cloth with rhinoceros horns and Hepu pearls, both of which are best-selling products in the North.
Huan Wen looked at it for a while and didn't say anything, but Liu Miao's eyes lit up and he talked to others about the price.
Huan Wen turned around and looked at the other shops next to him.
There were merchants in Shu who made people spread exquisite brocade, which attracted many people to stop;
A Jingzhou merchant sold Kuaiji celadon, spread it on a reed mat, and put it in exquisite patterns. Someone even tapped the porcelain with a wooden hammer next to it. The sound of the clear Yue Dynasty was very far away.
There are also merchants from Northland who come to horses, with red silk tied with horsetails, looking very majestic. They are the favorite products of Wudi merchants. They are controlled strategic materials, which are basically snatched up as soon as they appear in the market.
All in one go.
Various products are dazzling.
Before the war, Jiangling was originally a major commercial city, but now it is just slowly regaining its true nature.
Huan Wenqing couldn't help but walk out of the shop and stroll along the street.
Jingxiang Gebu and the Huangrun Microcloth Shop in Shu were surrounded by merchants from the northern region.
Guangzhou honey-scented paper made of honey-scented tree bark is popular all over the country, because this thing can be used as a bookshell to avoid rotting.
It has a fragrance when used as a book page, and the paper is very tough and does not rot when it encounters water. It has always been a valuable gift from the emperor to reward his ministers. For example, Emperor Puwu once gave Du Yu honey-scented paper in short, this is a kind of
High-quality paper with a faint fragrance is rarely seen in the North.
In addition, there are Jiangling brocade, jinglin satin, lacquerware, deer brush, bronze mirror and other local advantageous products.
As well as Yiling cinnabar, Dangyang realgar, Wudang Poria cocos and other foreign products.
Even there are many agricultural products, such as Yunmengqin, Dongting citrus, well salt, Wuchang fish (salted), Yunmengze turtle (turtle shell used as medicine), etc.
The most outrageous thing is that a large number of Jingzhou Hang appeared on the market. The rice grains are slender and long, and they are cooked into a soft but not sticky rice.
Very famous.
Huan Wen was a little puzzled. Can grain be bought and sold in large quantities?
Daliang was developing in the Yunmengze area, but it was actually very short of food. Otherwise, he would not have tried every means to introduce Shangtun and granted land. As a result, you came to sell food? How cheaply did it be?
Well, when I remember that the merchants in the North are also selling horses, it seems that everything makes sense again, so no one thinks he is taking advantage of it.
"Yuanzi." A cry sounded behind him.
Huan Wen turned around and saw that it was Liu Miao.
He was followed by more than ten people, carrying bags on his back, and obviously had already bought the goods.
"Why are you still here? Go and buy some oranges." Liu Miao said, "When you go back, you offer it to the emperor, queen, and Liu Concubine."
"When I was sent to Luoyang, I was probably corrupted." Huan Wen said.
"There is a way," Liu Miao said, "I just met a merchant selling citrus in the market. He said that as long as you can afford money, there is a 'wax sealing method'."
After saying that, I explained it again. The so-called "wax sealing method" means wrapping a layer of cloth or paper outside the citrus, and then wrapping it with melted wax. When sent to Luoyang, it will definitely be extremely fresh. Wax shells are waterproof and waterproof.
It prevents microorganisms and prevents citrus moisture from evaporating. It can effectively maintain freshness, but the cost is a bit high.
However, Huan Wen was very happy after hearing this and said, "Buy!"
Liu Miao nodded in praise.
He is a member of the Liu family, and he is bound to Concubine Liu, the princess. The wax sealing titan is the princess' filial piety.
When the emperor was very happy, he slightly leaked his fingers and the benefits came out.
So the two of them went to the place where Jiangling citrus, Badong citrus and Dongting citrus were sold happily, and they started bargaining.
At this time, at the head of Jiangling City, Shao Shen quietly withdrew his gaze and turned to the navy governor Yang Bao, and said, "The commercial tax in Jianglingfang City is all subject to the Governor's Office, and the Shaofu will not collect it. This tax is less than 500 per year.
Thousands of money, including merchants' contributions,
The annual income is more than ten million. This money can support the soldiers of Nanjun County (mostly stationed in Jiangling). During the holidays, you will receive some credits from the merchants to collect surgical resources and you will also get rewards."
Yang Bao opened his mouth, not knowing what Shao Shen wanted to say. Since he was so reluctant to give up the benefits, why should he take the initiative to start a war?
The five thousand soldiers in Jingzhou can support themselves. The two thousand soldiers in Nanjun are supported by the court's money, and the main source is the part of the commercial tax that the Shaofu gave up.
Not to mention the navy's gold-swalking beast, it is currently relying on the Jingzhou counties to raise money to support it.
Once you fight, the markets in Jiangling and Yangkou will definitely be greatly affected. Le Hongxu is afraid that he will be filled with white hair.
"But if you only think about money in everything, don't do anything." Shao Shen changed the subject and said, "After the night of tomorrow, you will lead a navy and transport more than 3,000 people to Badong. The movement is smaller,
Don’t let people notice it. After entering the river, if you encounter the Jin navy, don’t fight and retreat.”
"As for your order." Yang Bao replied.
According to the plan, Jiangling will draw 1,000 county soldiers, 2,000 generation soldiers and hundreds of children from the Right Cavalry Guards.
Take a navy warship to Badong.
This plan was proposed very early, but it has not been implemented. Now it seems that Shao Shen finally made up his mind. In his opinion, entering Sichuan is more important than anything else, and he can give up everything, including the relationship with Zhuge Hui.
That little tacit understanding.
"After you leave, I will ask the court to arrange a group of troops to go south, and arrive in Nanjun in early winter, and Jingling is enough. With these people here, Jiangling will be free of worries. The shogunate will also send people to Yidu and Jianping County.
He was determined to comfort him." Shao Shen said again, "I have decided, so I decided."
"Yes." Yang Bao saw Shao Shen's determination, so he stopped hesitating and replied loudly.
On the first night of September, just as Huan Wen and others returned north with their cargo, the navy commander Yang Bao drank a strong wine with everyone, and then boarded the ship at night.
For a moment, shouts, footsteps, and equipment collisions came one after another, and even the unbearable neighing of war horses.
After working hard in the middle of the night, more than 3,400 talents boarded the ship one after another. They were supervised by the Jiangling Shogunate and led by Wang Shuang, the son of Wang Quer.
Then came food, equipment, medicine and other supplies, especially arrows that could be called sharp weapons to defend the city, which brought as many as possible, filling almost every gap in the cabin.
Seeing that it was not long after the dawn of the sky, the ships anchored in the water city began to leave the port.
First, two ships quickly sailed out, entered the wide lake, and negotiated with the patrolling small wooden boats.
After learning that there were no enemies nearby, I began to signal with fire.
Soon, one ship after another sailed out of the water city,
They kept adjusting their direction on the lake surface and gradually formed a loose fleet. With Yang Bao's order, the dark shadow of the ship began to move.
The soldiers of the Silver Gun Left Camp who were seconded maintained order on land and did not allow anyone to enter within a radius of five miles to ensure the suddenness of the navy's departure.
They succeeded.
Until the sun was over three o'clock, the navy fleet had long been unknown where it was, and no one had noticed the change in the situation here.
On the fifth day of September, the fleet passed through Shimentan and put down a group of people to go ashore to pull out the fibers.
Someone in Jiangbei was shocked to see this large fleet.
On the fifth day of September, the fleet passed by Yiling.
It was the second day when the prefect of Jin Yidu received the report. His first reaction was to close the city gate in broad daylight.
It is strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and then recruit children and servants from the rich clans, and the barbarian chiefs and the soldiers guard the city.
On the tenth day of September, the fleet passed through Jianping County.
The troops in this county are weaker than Yidu, and they are completely watching the Daliang Navy travel west. However, they are still responsible and quietly sent a small boat downstream and heading straight to Wuchang to report the news.
On the evening of September 12th, the Daliang Navy docked outside Yufu County.
Wang Shuang led more than 3,400 infantry and cavalry to land overnight. After a close conversation with Badong army supervisor Qiu Ao, he divided his troops into two places, one to the guardian of Baidi City and the other to the county city.
On the 13th, a large number of supplies were unloaded.
The navy led by Yang Bao left that night to avoid being caught on the river and would not die without a place to bury it.
At this time, news that Chengguo was about to go east was rampant, covering the military and civilians of Badong like dark clouds.
Chapter completed!
