Chapter 602: Cross-Sea Battle
At the Liaodong Pier, transport ships docked one after another, and a cavalry division soldier led a war horse onto the ship.
The Liaodong Cavalry Division is an elite division with strict discipline.
Three big bosses from Liaodong, Zhao Yun, Fazheng and Liu Ye, came to the dock to see him off.
Zhang Ren and Yan Zhi bid farewell to Zhao Yun, Fazheng and Liu Ye.
"Senior brother, be careful in everything you do, and don't rush into anything greedy for success. Liu Biao is not a simple person, so don't be careless."
Zhao Yundao.
"Junior brother, don't worry! Senior brother knows the importance and will be careful."
Zhang Rendao.
"General Zhao, Lord Liu, let's go! The warship has left the dock and will arrive at Qingzhou Peninsula tomorrow."
Righteous Dharma.
Um!
"With Qingzhou captured, the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan should come to an end. It will be our turn to go into battle soon."
Liu Ye said.
hehe!
"General Zhao, Lord Liu, I am really looking forward to it! It's been a long time since I arrived in Xiakou, but I haven't accomplished anything great yet."
Righteous Dharma.
"Xiaozhi, you can't say that. In the past few years, we have fought many decisive battles with the Xianbei people and the Huns. Aren't they all the battle plans you formulated?"
Zhao Yundao.
"General Zhao, to be honest, fighting against the barbarian races on the grassland may seem dangerous, but all our war horses are equipped with the Three Horse Treasures.
This kind of thing is very meaningful to the cavalry, and it improves the combat effectiveness of the cavalry by several levels. Our army is on the grassland,
It’s basically an invincible existence, and there aren’t many strategies to talk about. I’m still looking forward to the battlefield in the Central Plains!”
Righteous Dharma.
"Xiaozhi, I heard from my lord that even if the world is at peace, our Xiakou army still has many places to conquer, so there is no need to worry about running out of battles."
Liu Ye said.
"Yes! The first time I saw the map in my lord's office, my blood boiled with excitement and my fighting spirit flew wildly."
Righteous Dharma.
Zhao Yun and Liu Ye nodded. When they first saw it, they were too skeptical and felt that the map was unreal.
But what?
They saw the place names and countries marked on the map. Some of the place names and country names were ones they had heard of.
After Qin Qi's explanation, I realized that the map was real.
It was that map that made Liu Ye completely surrender to Qin Qi. He admired Qin Qi so much that he came to Liaodong with peace of mind to take charge of affairs.
"Zilong, Xiaozhi, you two have also seen the national institutional issues published in "Hundred Schools Lecture Hall".
There are three systems mentioned by my lord above, and we have been debating for a long time, which one you think is suitable for our Central Plains Empire."
Liu Ye said.
"Mr. Ziyang, I have indeed carefully studied several institutional issues. To be honest, if it is good for the development of the country,
I think a republic is a very good choice. However, this system is too advanced and many scholars will oppose it once it is implemented.
Relatively speaking, the constitutional monarchy is more peaceful and suitable for the Central Plains Empire. The other is actually the current system.
It is too old, has no merit, and is not conducive to the development of the country."
Righteous Dharma.
Liu Ye nodded.
Although Liu Ye was a member of the royal family, he had nothing to say about the Han Dynasty. The country was indeed about to change its dynasty.
After all, the Han Dynasty lasted for four hundred years, and many policies no longer met the needs of social development and the advancement of civilization.
"Zi Yang, I am also optimistic about the constitutional monarchy, so that the people of the world can adapt to it. The governance of the country is left to the elite, which is in line with the needs of national development."
Zhao Yundao.
"It seems that the three of us are in agreement!"
Liu Ye said.
Fazheng was slightly startled!
"Mr. Ziyang, do you disapprove of the feudal dynasty's imperial system?"
Righteous Dharma.
"Xiaozhi, I am not a pedantic person. As it is said in "Hundred Schools of Lectures", professional matters must be left to professionals.
The same goes for a country. The destiny cannot be decided by one person. The best way is to absorb the strengths of everyone."
Liu Ye said.
"My lord, this is a great way! Raise the issue and let everyone in the world debate it. No matter who's argument is made,
As long as you feel good, publish them one by one in the "Hundred Schools Lecture Hall" for people all over the world to see and discuss. In the end, you will always come to a conclusion.
There is no need to bear the responsibility of being radical, it is the choice chosen by the people of the world anyway."
Liu Ye said.
…
Let's talk about Zhang Ren. He took a transport ship and floated on the sea for a day and a night. After it got dark, the transport ship docked.
Penglai Wharf has always been controlled by the Liaodong Army. The wharf was also built by the Liaodong Army for the purpose of relocating people.
Later, Liu Biao came to Qingzhou to take office and wanted to take back the dock. However, many Qingzhou businessmen firmly opposed it.
Liu Biao had no choice but to let the Liaodong Army take control. Once the Liaodong Army withdrew, it would be basically impossible for Qingzhou merchants to purchase things produced in Xiakou.
Don't be ridiculous if you take the land route. It's such a long distance, and you will be robbed by bandits, road bullies, merchants, and your goods are insecure along the way.
Liu Biao is a member of the royal family and comes from a noble family, so he will definitely not antagonize people from big families or official families.
Governing Qingzhou also requires the efforts of the disciples of the Qingzhou family. Liu Biao cannot accomplish it alone, so he has to compromise.
The pier is under security and no one is allowed to approach it.
Transport ships docked one after another.
The soldiers led the horses one by one off the transport ship and gathered in a wide area.
To be honest, the big businessmen and merchants in Qingzhou welcomed the Xiakou Army and warmly welcomed the Xiakou Army's capture of Qingzhou.
Once Qingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Xiakou area, they will not only be able to exchange for Xiakou's new currency, but also enjoy Xiakou's policies.
Since the launch of the new currency in Xiakou area, the exchange rate of five baht coins for Xiakou copper coins has been rising day by day.
From one five-baht coin to one copper coin, now ten five-baht coins can be exchanged for one Xiakou copper coin.
The five-baht coin is depreciating every day, and Xiakou's new currency is rising every day. As a businessman, I am definitely willing to collect Xiakou currency.
The reason why the five-baht coin depreciated was mainly because princes from all over the country worked hard to mint it, and various five-baht coins emerged.
They look similar, but the size and weight are different.
Unlike the new currency produced in Xiakou, it is extremely difficult to counterfeit it and cannot be counterfeited at all.
In addition, Xiakou's economy continues to grow, and food and materials are abundant. There is no devaluation, but an increase.
"General Zhang, we have made an agreement with the local businessmen in the two counties of Huang County and Penglai to open the city gates at night.
Tonight, our cavalry division can attack and capture Huang County and Penglai in one fell swoop. General, please give the order!"
The host said on the pier.
Zhang Ren nodded.
"General Yan Zhi, I have left ten thousand cavalry for you to lead. We must capture Penglai City tonight. Remember,
Don't kill people randomly, focus on controlling the officials in the city. If the officials are unwilling to surrender, you can let them go."
Zhang Rendao.
"As you command!"
Yan Zhidao.
"The remaining 10,000 cavalrymen will follow my general to attack Huang County and capture it in one fell swoop. In this way, we will have a firm foothold."
Zhang Rendao.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
"Let the soldiers eat as soon as possible, feed the war horses with concentrate, and then take a proper rest. We will start taking action at ten o'clock at midnight."
Zhang Rendao.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
Chapter completed!
