Chapter 2139 Gui Zi Scroll: Two-pronged attack, confident

 Feng Ziying chuckled and tapped her fingers lightly on the desk, "It's very fast. I just casually talked to them when I was in Datong, and they got ready. They came from Henan and were in Huguang.

The grain purchased over there?"

"It should be that the price of grain in Henan is not low, but the japonica rice coming from Huguang may be relatively cheap, mainly wheat and japonica rice, but no matter how it compares to Shaanxi, it is much cheaper." Gu Dengfeng mused: "And they

We have also prepared a second and third batch. Let me ask you how much more you need, and they will give your full support."

Feng Ziying moved slightly and rubbed her chin, "So determined? Do you really think so highly of me?"

This topic was difficult to answer, so Gu Dengfeng did not answer, but just waited quietly.

After a long time, Feng Ziying nodded, "Well, agree first, but to be clear, for now, what I can control is Shaanxi, and I am optimistic about Shaanxi, and I hope they will invest resources in it. The entire Shaanxi alone has

With a population of millions, and the Guanzhong Plain can directly connect to the Central Plains, they should understand what I mean. As for the Shandong side, they can give it a try first, and if there are any problems, we can worry about it later."

Shandong is where my hometown is, and I have some connections, but after all, neither my father nor I have ever been an official in Shandong. Only my father-in-law worked in Dongchang Prefecture, and his foundation is far inferior to that of Shaanxi and Shuntian Prefecture. But if he waits until he is in Shaanxi,

Once we have established a firm foothold, many things cannot be extended through other channels.

"There is definitely no problem with this. Although the Fan and Cao family are not as good as the Wang family, they still have this bit of patience. They understand that they are betting on you, and what they want is for your success in the future to bring them protection and opportunities.

." Gu Dengfeng said it quite straightforwardly. This is originally the mentality and attitude of businessmen.

"Haha, these businessmen all have Lu Buwei's mentality, but they are unwilling to make a living in a down-to-earth manner." Feng Ziying smiled and was noncommittal.

"Sir, you also need to understand them. Nowadays, Dongting, Longyou, Huizhou, and Anfu merchants from the south of the Yangtze River are becoming more and more powerful. They have already suppressed the merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi. In Jiangnan and Huguang, they can't defeat these Jiangnan merchants at all.

In the north, Shandong is also in danger, and the capital does not have the upper hand. That is to say, there are still some opportunities in Shanxi Laochao and remote places in Shaanxi. You have supported them in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion in the past few years, and also

It pointed out a clear path for them, so they are very grateful. If it were someone else who came to Shaanxi, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so active, but you, they are willing to believe in you and think highly of you. This kind of trust is rare."

Gu Dengfeng's words came from the bottom of his heart.

He has been dealing with these Shanxi businessmen for a long time and knows their thoughts very well.

Not just any official can get their unanimous recognition and support. The reason why Feng Ziying is so popular is because of the credibility he has accumulated since the beginning of the sea strategy.

The opening of the sea, the establishment of Haitong Yinzhuang, and later the construction of a coal-iron complex, and even the improvement of iron smelting technology, the sale of military workshops by the imperial court, and the reform of firearms procurement, all of which greatly promoted the entire

The strength of the Shanshan and Shaanxi merchant groups has increased.

It turned out that they were overwhelmed by the Jiangnan businessmen and finally saw the possibility of making a comeback. So how could they not fully support such a young official who was rising like a comet and had a promising future?

"Forget it, if they are really willing to fully support me, I will naturally not let down their expectations. Shaanxi is a little more difficult now, but in the future it will be the throat and springboard to the Western Regions.

Sooner or later, the imperial court will regain control of areas like Si and Tibet, which means that Shaanxi will be very important in the future. Of course, this will be a long-term plan, but shouldn't businessmen have a longer-term perspective? They should also prepare for their nephews in the next life.

Just make a plan." Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, "If the Cao and Fan families are really interested, we might as well give them some opportunities."

With Modlen's "rebel army" heading directly towards Bao'an, after bypassing Bao'an County and sweeping across the entire Bao'an County, the rebel army finally settled in the Huachi River and Pingrong River area, but this place was already

It's within Qingyang Prefecture.

Compared with Yan'an Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture is much smaller in area, less than one-third of Yan'an Prefecture, and has only five counties: Huanxian, Anhua, Heshui, Ningzhou and Zhenning, with a pitifully smaller population.

.

As soon as Modlen's army entered Qingyang, the entire Qingyang Mansion was shaken, and the rebel army that was originally fighting guerrillas in Qingyang Mansion seemed to have found a backbone, and they all came towards Heshui.

, all hope to seek shelter under the banner of Modlen's Boyan Village.

When Modlen stopped in Qingyang Mansion, Qiu Zixiong was not idle either.

Capturing Qingjian County did not leave him much room to breathe. The city-destroying battalion of Jing Zhizhong and Wang Chengwu's mountain-crossing battalion pursued them without stopping.

Qiu Zixiong's army went south to attack Yanshui Pass, which is far opposite Yonghe Pass in the east of Hedong. There is also a ferry here that can communicate with the Qin and Jin Dynasties. However, there are already a small number of officers and soldiers stationed at Yonghe Pass on the other side of the river, which is obviously the Shaanxi Pass in the south.

The rebellion's entry into Jin made the entire Pingyang Mansion nervous.

There are many fortresses set up during the Jingyou period of the former Song Dynasty around Yanshui Pass, which were also occupied by the local rebels in Yanchuan. Qiu Zixiong's Baitangzhai army went south and immediately attracted the surrender of these rebels. For a time, the entire northern Yanchuan

There was even more turmoil, making people in Yanchuan County extremely nervous.

"Wang Zuogui and Miao Renmei asked you to come here to tell me this?" The lobby in Yanshui Pass is where the inspection department used to be. Although it is smaller, it still has the momentum, with high eaves, bluestone paving, and a mottled courtyard.

The wall gives the entire lobby an air of vicissitudes of life and desolation.

"Chief Qiu, Leader Wang and Leader Miao are still over there in Yanchang. The city of Yanchuan County is tall and tall, and the people are well-trained and skilled in bows and horses. It is very difficult to fight. Leader Wang and Leader Miao have tried to attack several times.

But they all feel unsure, but it is different in Yanchang County. We have internal support in the city and know the defense of the county very well. However, we just consider that it is too close to Fushi City. Once we cannot attack, it will be easy to be attacked by Fushi.

The city's guards attacked, so they didn't take action..."

The person who came was the lobbyist of Wang Zuogui and Miao Renmei. He had a deer head and mouse eyes, a high nose and thin lips. At first glance, he looked like a character from a strip film, but he was indeed very eloquent.

"What's your name?" Qiu Zixiong became somewhat interested. It could be heard that this guy was very familiar with the situation in the south.

"My surname is Zhao, and I am the fourth eldest child in my family. Leader Qiu may as well call me Zhao Silang." Ming Pian Qingke's eyes lit up. He could attract the other party's attention and this trip would not be in vain.

"Oh, Zhao Silang, I remember Miao Renmei is from Yichuan, right? Why did she get involved with Zuo Guaizi again?" Qiu Zixiong said with a smile: "There are also Monk Wang and King Hun Tian? Why don't you invite them?

You go to get an extension, but you have to abandon the near and seek the far away to find me?"

This Qingqing guest did not expect Qiu Zixiong to be so familiar with the situation in the south, and he was surprised to come back to his senses later.

If such a large army dares to go south, it is naturally well prepared. Qingjian County was captured by others and then they casually gave up and came south. They must have considered the next step. These situations are not a secret.

You can find out if you ask around, not to mention that they have thousands of elite soldiers and generals, so some scouts and outposts are definitely indispensable.

"Going back to Chief Qiu, Leader Miao is indeed in Yichuan, but there are too many people in Yichuan and everyone can't ask for food, so Leader Miao led his troops north to find Chief Wang. There are several large households in Yanchang County.

The grain reserves should be at least tens of thousands of dan. As long as Yanchang County is captured, the big guys will not have to worry about food and clothing."

Zhao Silang hesitated for a while and then said: "As for Monk Wang, he is miserable here in Yanchuan. What use are his few hundred soldiers? King Huntian is like a madman all day long.

, running around, the king leader also invited him, but he thought too highly of himself and refused to agree. Now King Huntian is occupying the main road between Calvary Mountain and Monopoly Mountain. I don’t think he is like this.

He can't hold on for much longer. There are still a few businessmen on the road who can afford the livelihood of his more than a thousand people. If he is sitting on nothing, his original capital will be eaten up sooner or later."

"Haha, there are tens of thousands of shi of grain in Yanchang County. You lied badly. Who doesn't know that Yixiang City is the residence of Yanchang's big family, the Li family. Besides, the Li family's in-laws, the Qian family, also ran there.

Are you done?" Qiu Zixiong said with a smile: "Zuo Guaizi wants to invite me to fight in Yanchang City. What's the point of this?"

Zhao Silang was startled, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly broke out on his back. He was almost exposed. Fortunately, he was careful and prepared beforehand. He immediately responded calmly: "What Chief Qiu said is wrong."

, Yixiang City is indeed the residence of the Li family, but I’m afraid what Chief Qiu doesn’t know is that the Li family transported most of his family’s grain reserves to the county seat as early as last year, and only a small amount remains in Yixiang City. This is our inside line

The news that came out specifically is absolutely accurate, and our leader Wang will personally attack the county town together with leader Qiu. How can I say that I deceived you?"

"Is it true?" Qiu Zixiong nodded with a half-smile, "Do you think this is true? But for me to give up Yanchuan County and go to Yanchang County, there must be a reason, right? I always feel that this bypasses Yanchuan County

It's a bit weird to go straight to Yanchang instead of fighting. Could it be that your leader has other ideas?"

Forced almost into confusion by Qiu Zixiong's words, Zhao Silang secretly murmured in his heart, could it be that this person really got some information? Logically speaking, he shouldn't, but now he doesn't care much anymore and can only bite.

He gritted his teeth and kept saying that it was for the sake of the overall interests of the rebels, so that they could obtain more food earlier, so that everyone could breathe a little longer before looking for the next target.
