On the one hand, it seizes the iron ore that Yinzhou urgently needs. If this batch of iron ore cannot be received in time, it will most likely affect Yinzhou's spring plowing. On the other hand, it also harasses the caravans who come to trade, which is very harmful to Yinzhou. , another bigger blow. Now Liu Zheng is eager to attract more people to come to Yinzhou to engage in business activities, so as to revitalize Yinzhou's economy.
so.
Not going?
No, we must have iron ore! We must also give an explanation to those caravans. If these horse thieves are not eliminated, who will dare to do business in Yinzhou in the future?
But to go?
Just like what Shen Xing said, this must be a conspiracy on the Yangzhou side. If Yinzhou's three thousand soldiers were ambushed, they would be reluctant to lose even one Liu Zheng.
"Stop making noise!"
Liu Zheng shouted, and the whole place fell silent.
Qin Changfeng from the main station still stared at Shen Xing coldly.
Liu Zheng asked Huang Zhiyuan again: "How many days will the bandits give us to redeem the ore?"
"Seven days!"
Huang Zhiyuan said with a bitter face: "Sir, you must be careful about this! I think that bandit is well-trained, has well-equipped horses and weapons, and comes and goes like the wind. He is not like a bandit, but more like a skirmisher!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Skirmishers?
This is something unique to this era. This guerrilla means stragglers. In the words of later generations, it is a mercenary! This kind of small-organized army often belongs to the vassal king. Later, due to various reasons, they broke away. The former establishment has become a free and professional soldier.
These mercenaries will follow whoever gives them money!
Shen Xing said: "Yes, Master, these must be the skirmishers hired by Chen Kui!"
"Master, think twice!"
"Looking at the situation, the size of these skirmishers must be more than a thousand!"
"Seven days..."
Liu Zheng shouted: "Qin Changfeng obeys the order!"
"The wind is here!"
"Lead two thousand elite soldiers to guard the caravans, one pavilion for one thousand meters, and one post for one hundred meters!"
Qin Changfeng shouted: "Changfeng takes the order!"
"Shen Xing!"
"The official is here!"
"At this time, merchants in the city are not allowed to leave the city for the time being. They will not leave until seven days later."
"yes!"
"Wei Tiezhu!"
"exist!"
"Follow me to the God's Workshop!"
After Liu Zheng finished issuing the order, Liu Dahao came running up and said: "My son, my son, you are late as a father! There are bandits harassing my Yinzhou, how can it be unreasonable! My son, do you have a plan?" "
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, go back and continue drinking. Leave this matter to me."
When Liu Dahao heard this, he smiled happily: "Zheng'er, you must be careful, hiccup... you must be careful!"
Then, with the support of several maids, he went back to drink.
Suddenly, the news of bandits appearing outside Yinzhou spread throughout the city in an instant.
In Fengming Tower.
Many businessmen are in a state of turmoil.
"Bandits?"
"How's the thieves doing?"
“Is Yinzhou safe?”
In these troubled times, these businessmen are accustomed to making money that is life-threatening. However, this is the first time that they have encountered such a thing in Yinzhou, and they can't help but feel a little frightened.
"I see that the county lord's mansion is in good order, so it's nothing to worry about!"
