Hearing the good news brought back by Chen Boda, Suning couldn't help laughing. Although he gave up 70% of the profit, he still got the salt worker he wanted most.

Maybe many people don't understand why Suning is so keen on salt workers. That's because people don't know that salt workers and absentees are the best sources of soldiers. After being squeezed for a long time, each of them is a destructive existence.

In the original time and space, Zhu Yuanzhang had just occupied the Chuzhou and He County areas, and the Mongolian and Yuan armies attacked from the direction of Liuhe. In fact, the main target of the Mongolian and Yuan armies at that time was Zhang Shicheng, who occupied Gaoyou and Yancheng.

The salt people led by Zhang Shicheng were the most durable unit. They withstood wave after wave of attacks from the Mongolian and Yuan armies. They also controlled the Gaoyou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and completely strangled the Mongolian Yuan army by the throat.

Meng Yuan had to recruit Zhang Shicheng again and again. Unfortunately, Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide were both short-sighted opportunists and actually defected to Meng Yuan.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, in Meng Yuan's eyes, he was a dispensable "little pitiful", and his attacks were just like chasing rabbits, which gave Zhu Yuanzhang the opportunity to grow stronger.

"Everyone is very happy today because we got the salt people we wanted and needed most.

But we still can't relax, so let's not drink alcohol today." Suning said with a smile to Chen Boda and Li Shanchang, using tea instead of wine.

"Well! What the boss said makes sense!

We are now walking on thin ice with a heavy burden, and the happy time must be compressed to the shortest possible time." Li Shanchang agreed with Suning's sobriety.

Soon Suning asked his servants to remove the spirits, and the three of them celebrated with tea instead of wine, "Father-in-law, Shanchang, because the salt workers are very important, so I will personally take people over to manage the salt in the Jianghuai Salt Fields.

People.

Chuzhou relies on you two!"

"Master, don't worry!

We will definitely guarantee the Chuzhou base camp."

"Well! I can rest assured that you will do your job!" Suning had no doubt about Li Shanchang's ability.

"Shan Chang, how is the establishment of the Jinyiwei?"

"The Dong family relies on the Chen family's restaurants and teahouses for its operations, so it is not difficult to establish Jinyiwei.

We now have intelligence bases around the Yangtze River, and I believe intelligence will be gathered here soon."

"Well! Everyone generally has no awareness of confidentiality now, and it is quite easy to obtain information.

However, our Longmen Escort Bureau must also take warning and pay attention to confidentiality."

"Master, don't worry!

Recently I have paid attention to the Longmen Escort Bureau, and the confidentiality work is indeed very good.

Even the escorts of Longmen Escort Bureau still think that they are just ordinary employees."

"Haha, it seems that our work is still very effective.

Father-in-law, you are good at it, because our goal is the area south of the Yellow River, and our first step to capture the target is around Jiqing Road, Suzhou, Yancheng, Gaoyou, Yangzhou, Haozhou, Dingyuan, Chuzhou, Jiqing, and Hexian

, Liuhe, therefore, the key monitoring direction of Jinyiwei should be in the direction of the counterattack of the Mongolian and Yuan armies."

"Ah? Occupying so many areas at once?" Li Shanchang and Chen Boda were both shocked.

"Haha, that's why I desperately want to take control of the salt people in the Jianghuai Salt Farm. They can send nearly 100,000 soldiers to our side at one time.

If two thousand to five thousand legions are deployed to guard various places to recruit troops on the spot, this area will definitely be controlled as soon as possible.

Moreover, we must ensure that we have 50,000 Chinese troops to deal with the Mongolian Yuan’s counterattack.”

"Huh? If the number of legions stationed locally is between 2,000 and 5,000, they must be at the level of regular troops. In this way, a large number of auxiliary troops can be recruited nearby to quickly form combat effectiveness.

It's hard to say about the field battle outside the city, but there should be no problem in defending the city." After Li Shanchang was shocked, he slowly thought about it, and then agreed with Suning's plan.

"Yes! After the incident, we will immediately arrange internal and external attacks. Inside the city will be the escorts of each Longmen escort bureau, and outside the city will be the various legions dispatched, so each of them must carry out the attack secretly."

"In order to prevent the persecution of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, it is necessary to shrink the power of our Longmen Escort Agency. All areas outside the area we divided in the first step must be withdrawn. This can just confirm what my father-in-law told Barbarian Hague about the salt trafficking and stopping the Escort Agency."

"Well! My boss's plan is feasible!"

"The key area is the war on Jiqing Road. At the beginning, in order to paralyze the barbarian Hague, we slowly began to rent their giant ships to transport food and salt to relax their vigilance. We will hire as many as possible for him on the eve of the incident.

"

"Ah? Barbarian Hague has lost his fleet, so we still have the final say in the Yangtze River Basin?" Chen Boda was also made to breathe quickly by Suning's plan.

"Yeah! After taking control of the barbarian's huge naval ship in Hague, Jiqing Road is ours."

"Xian son-in-law, don't worry!

I will definitely serve Barbarian Hague well.

On the eve of the incident, I plan to invite the mid-level and senior officers and soldiers of their navy to drink wine at Jiqing Road, which will be convenient for us to control the entire fleet."

"Haha, father-in-law, you really know everything!

This strategy is great!"

At this time, Suning suddenly took out the military regulations written by himself and handed it to Li Shanchang, who was thoughtful in front of him, "Shanchang, this is the military regulations I wrote personally.

We must know that after an incident, our own discipline is the most important, so please help me see if there is anything else that needs to be added."

"Oh? Let me see!"

“First, follow the command in all actions!

Second, you are not allowed to rob people!

Third, all seizures must be attributed!

Fourth, you are not allowed to demean women!

Fifth, do not abuse prisoners!"

"Ah? Master, you are more powerful than Liu Bang's three chapters of the agreement!"

It's just that you are not allowed to mistreat prisoners. I don't think our soldiers will understand, right?

After all, the people we captured are all high-ranking officials of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and they will definitely not be able to control their emotions."

"Shan Chang, what types of wealth do you think there are?"

"What?" Li Shanchang suddenly became confused.

Chen Boda on the side said with a disinterested smile, "Isn't wealth just gold, silver, land and real estate?"

"Yes! However, there is another asset that everyone ignores, and that is talent."

After hearing Suning's explanation, Li Shanchang suddenly seemed to understand something. He looked at Suning with eager eyes and his breathing became quickened unconsciously.

"If you are good at growing up, how many years does it take for a scholar to study hard?"

"ten years!"

"Haha, it's more than that!

There are also many people who are twenty or thirty years old!

So it is very troublesome to train a scholar.

If we kill everyone with just one blow, wouldn’t it be our loss?”

"Huh? My dear son-in-law, you said that scholars should be given preferential treatment, and I agree with that!

But what's the use of those arrogant Tatars in Meng Yuan? They might as well be killed by the soldiers."

"What my father-in-law said is wrong!

Everyone has his or her value.

The nobles of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty all grew up on horses. Even if they are corrupted now, in terms of riding and archery skills, we Han people cannot match them.

Therefore, to resist the Mongolian Yuan, we must unite all possible forces."

These are all based on the experiences of later generations by Suning, and the Ming Dynasty's army also had a large number of Mongolian and Yuan prisoners joining the army. There is no reason why Suning, a modern man from later generations, should not be as ambitious as Zhu Yuanzhang.

...

The Jianghuai Salt Farm is actually just a general name. There are countless large and small salt farms in the Yancheng and Taizhou area. At this time, they are all controlled by the Mongolian and Yuan nobles. The daring salt people at the bottom can only make a fortune by secretly selling private salt, so

The two brothers Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide were actually relatively wealthy private salt dealers, and their lives were much more comfortable than those of ordinary salt residents.

As for the conflict between the two brothers and the managers of the salt field, it was more about the uneven distribution of the spoils. They rebelled because they wanted to sell for a price, but did not drive away the Tatars' ambitions.

"Brother, have you heard?

Our salt field here has been taken over by the Longmen Escort Bureau!" Zhang Shide looked at his eldest brother Zhang Shicheng with excitement.

"What? Longmen Escort Agency?

Is that the "Great Good Man" Suning from Chuzhou?" Zhang Shicheng's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the news about his younger brother Zhang Shide.

"Yes!

Haha, life will be much easier for us salt people now!"

Looking at his silly younger brother Zhang Shide who looked happy, Zhang Shicheng was so angry that he hit his younger brother hard with his hand and said angrily, "Idiot! The salt field has been taken over by Longmen Escort Agency!

What else is there about us two brothers?

What do we private salt dealers eat and drink?

The people of Yan are living a comfortable life, are you still willing to follow us brothers through life and death?"
