Of course, there is a saying that one general can make thousands of bones dry up. Although Li Hu won a battle, the soldiers under his command also suffered heavy casualties, definitely no less than those of the Mid-Tang Dynasty. However, most of Li Hu's casualties were new recruits.
New soldiers, and the elite Mo Dao soldiers lost in the Zhongtang Dynasty were the backbone of the army, so strictly speaking, he made a lot of money.
You must know that Nanzheng has always been famous for being good at defense. From another perspective, this means that this army is not good at attacking! This great victory Li Hu achieved on land can be said to be nearly ten years old.
In the past year, Nanzheng defeated the Central Tang Army for the first time in a field battle, so Li Hu also rose to fame and his prestige greatly increased.
Lin Fengjin also studied this battle case, but found that Li Hu's strategic and tactical thinking was quite similar to that of Tian Wu, the general of Hengbo in the Northern Qi Dynasty. They both advocated a steady attack and a step-by-step approach, but Li Hu had a few more changes.
Of course, with Li Hu's outstanding military exploits and killing many people, he finally succeeded in improving his destiny and became one of the few people in the world who has the destiny to break the army. When Lin Fengjin was training, Li Hu
They are very concerned about wild boars, and the two of them seem to be born with the idea of competing. In fact, this is indeed the case. The Seven Kills destiny meets the Pojun destiny, just like a fierce general like Zhang Fei meets a general like Gao Shun.
Mars is born to collide with it.
Therefore, Li Hu and Ye Boar would discuss each other from time to time, and both felt that they benefited a lot. Once when the two sides were fighting fiercely, they both came up with their trump cards, allowing the star power to condense into a suitable weapon.
A blast!
Suddenly, the scene was as if a terrorist attack had occurred. There was a big explosion. If both sides had not remained rational and held back, otherwise, the entire martial arts arena would have been destroyed.
Of course, in a one-on-one competition, the wild boar has a great chance of winning. However, if it is 300 people versus 300 people, then the wild boar will be defeated in every battle. Li Hu's knowledge in the art of war and strategy, the wild boar said
To be honest, even if you try to catch a horse, you can't keep up.
Lin Fengjin originally wanted to go back to Northern Qi, but instead fled to Nanzheng. This felt quite contradictory, although theoretically speaking, if Lin Fengjin continued to go south, he would eventually be able to bypass the Zhongtang Dynasty and reach Zhongtang.
Northern Qi, but he did not plan to travel around the world. Because if he wanted to go from Nanzheng to Northern Qi without passing through Zhongtang, there was actually a shortcut he could take.
That's the waterway.
Lin Fengjin calculated the time. At the sales meeting, Manager He Da of Xiangfan Bank agreed to one thing from Lin Fengjin. That was to deliver five five-masted ships to Lin Fengjin in one year.
, and these five ships can sail on the sea.
With these five five-masted ships and a dozen or so three-masted ships, Lin Fengjin could successfully build a large commercial fleet to continuously transport specialties from the south to the north. At this time, the Lin family made
According to statistics, transporting goods from Xiangfan to Yedu requires a total of seventeen checkpoints, and the taxes paid are at least eleven and a half times the value of the goods themselves!
In this way, it must be someone with good hands and eyes to maintain this business road, because this person is not only responsible for opening up the checkpoint between Nanzheng and Zhongtang, but also responsible for the checkpoint between Zhongtang and Northern Qi, such as Lin Feng
A shrewd and powerful person like Jin can only maintain this business path for a few years, let alone the rest of the people?
However, things like cowhide and tendon in the north are basically strategic resource reserves for the south, because siege weapons, armor, etc. all consume a lot of leather and tendon! So these specialties of the north are
In the south, it can only be described as "as much as you have."
After the waterway was opened, the stronghold in the north was Sanlibu. The stronghold in the south was Zhangjun, where Li Hu dominated the sky. Even if both places had to collect taxes, there would only be two checkpoints, compared with the previous seventeen checkpoints.
In comparison, it can be said to be a world of difference!
Of course, Li Hu also understood the importance of this trade route. Once it was opened, he could say that his economic dependence on the Nanzheng imperial court could be completely reduced to the point of being negligible. When the army moves, food and grass will go first. Without departure expenses, it will be difficult to move forward.
The reason why the Supervisory Army has trouble with the general is simply because he controls food and pay.
Because of this, Li Hu was particularly concerned about the five five-masted ships promised by Manager He Da. Zhangjun County is close to the sea and rivers, and the water transportation industry is also extremely developed. After Li Hu came here, he also worked hard in this area.
Regarding related matters, a half-old five-masted ship and four three-masted ships have been plundered by clever means. As for the sailors on the ship, there is no need to worry. Li Hu specially stayed alive when he was fighting against the pirates.
, although these guys are all unruly, but their wives, children and families are also on land, so there is no fear that they will not do their best.
After Lin Fengjin arrived in Zhangjun this time, Li Hu also used his own channels to notify Manager He Da, telling him that the creditor had arrived and that the one-year appointment would only last a few months. Lin Fengjin did not mind being in Zhangjun.
The county will stay until the one-year contract expires.
At this time, people still valued their promises very much, so Manager He Da quickly wrote back and said that he would come in person. Of course, he would also come with the five giant ships, which would probably arrive in half a century.
After a month, he went down the river and arrived at Shangmao, the county seat of Zhangjun.
At this time, Lin Fengjin had been recuperating in Zhangjun for nearly ten days. He could already try some strenuous exercise. After hearing the news about Manager He Da, he was also a little happy and moved. After all, this was something he had been planning for who knows how long.
What a big deal.
Now that he had obtained the accurate information at this time, Lin Fengjin searched carefully in the Xumi Mustard Seed Ring, and finally found a token that could contact the Shuijun Ao family in the north. According to Ao Ye, as long as
Sprinkle a little realgar on this token, then hold it and you can directly perform long-distance telepathy, but you can only use it three times at most.
Lin Fengjin believed that this maiden voyage was of great significance, and he must seek a successful start to ensure its smoothness. It also happened that he could guard the fleet and explain the matters related to the Demonic Snake Family, so he directly used this token to contact
I fell in love with this cunning guy Ao Ye.
After Ao Ye once again confirmed that his descendants would be well fed, he readily sent out several members of his family, all descendants of Ao Chi, and they also participated in the round-up and killing of the six-eared monster ape.
At this time, these snakes and grandsons are in a state of tranquility and want to come out to play and see the world. Because this time things are a bit urgent, these giant snakes have certain magical powers and can travel day and night.
At the same time, he can also perform powerful water escape techniques. It is expected that it will only take seven or eight days to arrive on time, so he will definitely be able to catch up.
And Lin Fengjin also learned another thing, about his mount Lan Gongzi. It turned out that after this guy returned to the grassland, the side effect of suddenly gaining a thousand years of Taoism, oh, no, it should be a necessary step.
Once it comes out, it will evolve again.
In fact, the most typical characteristic of any monster that has practiced for more than a thousand years is that it can transform into a human form.
For any monster that can change into an adult, please note that it is a change and not an illusion---change means that it can even have the reproductive function of a woman like the White Snake, while illusion is to use illusions to blind people's eyes.
, she looks like a beauty, but in fact, when she touches her 36D breasts, she must feel scales ------- then she must be a great monster who has practiced Taoism for thousands of years. Because the human body coincides with Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Nine Palaces and Bagua, and practice
It also has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, there are many great monsters who still do not forget their roots and are unwilling to become human beings, but this is not because they cannot change, but because they do not want to change.
Mr. Lan's current situation seems to have been encouraged by Lin Fengjin, so he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he returned to the grassland, and would never wake up except to eat. This is the power of the Sky Demon bloodline. Although
It has been encouraged by others, but as long as I get more sleep, I can slowly adjust to it without leaving any future troubles.
However, Lin Fengjin should have no choice if he wants to use its power during this period, but this matter does not matter to Lin Fengjin, because he has too many resources and chess pieces at his disposal. Mr. Lan
Lin Fengjin's dormancy will not make Lin Fengjin feel that his strength has been suddenly damaged.
Time passed quickly. On the third day after Lin Fengjin's injury was completely healed, which was also the tenth day of his stay with Li Hu, he received the latest news: Steward He and his fleet had reached the distance.
We can probably arrive at Haifang Town, which is 70 miles away from Shangmao, the next day.
Of course, since Manager He Da came in person, Lin Fengjin couldn't rely on him. He had to go and greet him in person. Otherwise, it would be too unwise. When he thought that his own fleet could be successfully established from now on,
Lin Fengjin's thoughts became eager. After all, once this business road is opened, he will be rich and wealthy from now on...
Early the next morning, Lin Fengjin got up and began to ask the maid who was waiting for him to dress up. After all, in such a grand meeting, one could not dress casually. When he was getting dressed and going out, he suddenly
Thinking of something, he asked the butler waiting next to him:
"Has there been any special news from Xiangdu recently, especially about the king?"
This butler is Li Hu's confidant, and sometimes he plays the role of a master. He will read the newspaper and other documents. After hearing Lin Fengjin's inquiry, he said with some doubts:
