Zhao Xun also issued a military order, not to plunder the people's property, buy things, and pay at the price. If anyone finds that he does not comply with the military order, he will be cleared out. Zhao Xun, who is at a disadvantage, must gain support from the people if he wants to gain a foothold in Luoyang City.
Zhao Xun seized control of Dongmen and Dongcheng for his own safety, but also for the safety of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce leading to Luoyang. Without security, Zhao Xun was a little worried about his business under his command. Because,
What they brought back was the raw materials that shook the sky and thunder.
You should know that for the people and businessmen, the most feared thing are officials and soldiers with corrupt military discipline. Since Qianniu Guard took over the east of the city, the rogues in the east of the city have suffered disasters, and they are all beaten to pieces and sent to the government.
Some people who behave extremely badly will be executed directly.
At the same time, the soldiers of Qianniu Guard were no longer the same as before, and no longer searched the people and merchants' property, maintained the safety of the people and merchants, and eliminated the rascals. They were loved by the people and merchants at once, making the Dongcheng prosperous suddenly.
Merchants from all over the country went to Dongcheng to buy and sell transactions.
Of course, the merchants were not frightened, so they naturally provided some offerings to Qianniuwei every month, just to buy peace. Zhao Xun asked his subordinates to take over it. It was not that he was greedy for money, but Qianniuwei was really short of money now.
The Ministry of War only issued enough money, but according to Zhao Xun's training methods, the money was far from enough.
High-intensity training naturally requires nutrition to keep up. For this reason, Zhao Xun paid for Qianniuwei to improve food and even paid for the soldiers to solve family difficulties. The benefits are obvious, and these soldiers are more convinced of Zhao Xun.
More loyal.
Businessmen and shop owners are different from being exploited by soldiers. First of all, there is a psychological problem. Who would be willing to be bullied by others? But because others are kind to them and willing to be willing, that is another matter.
.In addition, Qianniuwei did not specify how much they would give, nor did they have to give. In short, if you are willing to give, you will give, and if you are unwilling to give, I will not force you. In this way, what you give is borne by yourself.
Within the scope, or in other words, it doesn’t care about it at all. At the same time, it is protected by Qianniuwei, so why not do it!
In order to deal with the situation in Luoyang, in mid-February, Zhao Xun general Zhang Yuanjing, the military affairs envoy of the Military Affairs Department, came over to assist him in the military affairs and logistics affairs of Qianniuwei.
After hearing the Qianniu Guard's actions, Zhang Yuanjing was also a little surprised, but also expressed thrillingness. Zhang Yuanjing believed that the reason for his success was that King Murong Cheng of Qi sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and did not take action against Zhao Xun, but instead gave in.
It was Emperor Xuanwu's timely intervention, that is, the open and upright imperial edict. This imperial edict gave Zhao Xun the best excuse. Otherwise, Situ Lei might really dare to fight, and even the name of righteousness would be in Situ Lei.
in the hands.
After listening to Zhang Yuanjing's words, Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that he was too risky to act. Although he was fine afterwards, he could not make up for his position in Luoyang, and his subordinates must have suffered heavy losses. He even had a great reputation.
, will no longer exist.
"Lord, our main opponent in the past was Situ Lei, but now, we may have to add King Murong Cheng of Qi." Finally, Zhang Yuanjing said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Why is this? Murong Chengdu and I have never had direct opposition. We shouldn't be against us just because of a small matter at the East Gate?" Zhao Xun was also a little confused.
Zhang Yuanjing said: "At the east gate, it will not touch Murong Cheng's heart to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. But in front of the east gate, the perfect imperial edict made Murong Cheng be careful!"
"Imperial Order?"
Zhang Yuanjing nodded and said, "That's right, it's the imperial edict. This is even just right, pushing us to the title of righteousness at once, making Situ Lei helplessly retreat. This must make Murong Cheng suspect that we have connections with Emperor Xuanwu.
For Emperor Xuanwu, Murong Cheng, as the royal family, was much more threatening than the left prime minister Situ Lei."
"The battle for the throne?" Zhao Xun suddenly woke up and said, "That's right, Situ Lei is at most a powerful minister. Unless there is a huge change, it is impossible for the emperor to be abolished. But the King of Qi is very likely because he is the royal family.
People will not be opposed by the world. It seems that Emperor Xuanwu is not a good bird, so he used me once."
"Yes, I think Emperor Xuanwu has his own information channel and has prepared the imperial edict long ago. After the situation was basically clear, he announced in public that he would give us a title of righteousness, and he also told others, lord,
It was his man. He pushed the lord to the front desk in an instant."
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I am still too arrogant and underestimated Emperor Xuanwu too much."
Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "The benefits are also great. We have an army, a city gate for advancing and retreating, and a source of financial resources. Now, the harvest from Dongcheng can also support Qianniuwei's current consumption.
Speaking of which, we still took a big advantage. But we must be careful of Emperor Xuanwu in the future."
Starting from March, the consequences of Zhao Xun's killing of Tiqisi came. The caravans heading south of Youzhou were often attacked in Yongzhou and southern Jilin, and even the escort guards of the escort agency were invincible. Zhao Xun knew that this was
Situ Lei's people did it, but these places were not their own territory. They were very restricted when they acted. However, Zhao Xun still let the five thousand soldiers lurking outside break into pieces and become teams, all over the place
Looking for the enemy in action, ready to fight back,
Champion General's Mansion.
In the study, Zhao Xun was sitting in the main seat, with military affairs envoy Zhang Yuanjing, the general leader of the Shadow Department Luoyang Branch Qingyu, the general leader of the Eagle Eye Department Zhang Junfeng, and several lieutenants from the guard camp sat on both sides.
"Lord, in the past three days, five more caravans were robbed, and their property was either robbed or burned. Fortunately, the soldiers from the tenth mansion were outside and rescued in time. Otherwise, these merchants and the people from the escort agency would be...
"Wei Chen whispered to report the situation.
Zhao Xun's face was cold. Since the beginning of March, in the past month, the caravans heading south and caravans heading north from the south were repeatedly robbed. At the beginning, they were completely attacked, and their property was robbed, and their personnel were also
They were massacred. Later, the 5,000 soldiers from the tenth palace outside were rescued in time when the wolf smoke was ignited, and the loss of personnel was avoided.
"This will not work. Over time, merchants will not dare to travel north and south. The food we need, raw materials, silk, porcelain, etc., cannot be guaranteed, not only is it extremely unfavorable for Youzhou's trade,
It will also affect our hoarding thunder and food." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yuanjing whispered: "Because the soldiers outside are all infantry, and they are unknown and even wanted by the government, we can't catch up with these intercepted people. However, I think Qingyu and Zhang Junfeng
The two leaders should have gained something.”
Qingyu and Zhang Junfeng looked at each other, and Qingyu said first: "We did get some information. After I cooperated with the people from the Hawkeye Division, the situation I got was that the people who raided the caravan were all
The Shenwu Army and Changwu Army stationed outside Luoyang City trained. Their headquarters have cavalry and government spies, so when the caravans pass, they quickly get news and then attack. Our scattered teams outside were also
They instructed the government to encircle and suppress the wanted ones."
"Where are the two cavalry stations, and how many people are there?" Zhao Xun said in a muffled voice.
"The Shenwu Army and the Changwu Army were both rebuilt after the entire Xuzhou Army was wiped out and the entire army was wiped out. They originally had 3,000 cavalry, but now there are 8,000 cavalry, totaling 16,000."
"The two armies are located in Pingxian, Pingyin, Gucheng and Xincheng counties in the northeast of Luoyang. Pingyin has 30,000 Shenwu army, Changwu army, and Gucheng and Xincheng counties only have 20,000 people.
Among them, the cavalry are in these two counties." Zhang Junfeng added.
Zhao Xun laughed at himself and said, "Okay, very good. Use my war horse to attack me. This is really good! Situ Lei, you are too much, attacking the passing caravan. Zhang Yuanjing, I mean, to clear the troops of these two counties,
What do you think?"
Zhang Yuanjing said in a deep voice: "There are not enough staff! If there are five thousand people each, unexpectedly, and the thunder of the sky, the Shenwu Army and Changwu Army of Gucheng and Xincheng counties can be removed by then, and even in the north of Luoyang.
Establish a lurking force.”
"In the north of Luoyang?" Zhao Xun looked at the map on the table and suddenly said, "Are you talking about the southern end of Taihang Mountain?"
Zhang Yuanjing nodded and said, "That is, the southern end of Taihang Mountain is located in the north of Luoyang, on the side of Hanoi Prefecture. Why not lurk here? Other troops are not good, but our Xiaoguo Army has been trained to survive in the wild. We have set up a large army in Taihang Mountain.
The camp is enough to support tens of thousands of troops. Not to mention, there are countless bandits and thieves in the Taihang Mountains."
Zhao Xun slapped the table and said, "Okay, that's it. Qingyu, Zhang Junfeng, you two immediately investigate the garrisons in Gucheng and Xincheng counties, and also check the situation in the southern part of Taihang Mountain to prepare one for the subsequent army.
Place to settle.”
"Wei Chen, let the merchants in the dark prepare a batch of food and transport it to the selected place in the Taihang Mountains."
"Wei Dong, let the escaped businessmen report to the local government, and at the same time put pressure on the local government to give the outside world a scene that is the same as usual."
"I think I'll just draw 5,000 people from the Ninth Mansion. The Ninth Mansion and the Tenth Mansion will be my brothers. They are more familiar with field battles. After their soldiers came out of the new recruits, they will definitely ask for it.
So it is most suitable. These troops will not return to their original system in the future, so let each unit add new soldiers from the new recruit battalion."
"Can military service envoy be supplemented?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "There is nothing to add. Should the thunder of our operation be taken from here or transported from Youzhou?"
After pondering for a while, Zhao Xun said, "Let's get some from Youzhou. The thunder here are all carefully configured and there are not many."
In the next few days, Zhao Xun's face was not very good and he didn't say much. But the smile on Situ Lei's face was hidden, and Zhao Xun knew that this old bastard must have felt happy because of revenge.
"Old guy, just go happily. In a few days, I will not make you laugh!" Zhao Xun said secretly.
Although the business roads passing through Luoyang were blocked, the business roads in other places were normal. Although there were minor troubles, there was no big problem with the escort of the escort agency and the support of the local government. Situ Lei's official government could not afford to offend him, but Zhao Xun,
They also couldn't afford to offend them. Several officials suppressed the caravans under the banner of Youzhou, and died suddenly at the mansion that night. Others no longer dared to act openly.
Some little robbers dare not, who is the Xiaoguo Army? They dare to do whatever they want? Therefore, businessmen who have been to Youzhou to do business will buy land in Youzhou, apply for credibility levels, and receive the Youzhou banner. This banner is to tell
Everyone, Youzhou has protected this caravan. If you dare to touch them, you will be unable to get along with Youzhou.
The situation in Youzhou is relatively smooth, because Huitong Money House and Youzhou's financial problems have been alleviated. In addition, there is no war, the army has started to station again, so the materials have been guaranteed. Water conservancy projects and water trucks in various places have been greatly obtained.
extension.
Due to the successive wars of the Beihai tribes, many of the Marines moved to the prefectures of Youzhou. Of course, they also obtained the new household registration in Youzhou and became a member of the Han people, and also enjoyed the treatment and obligations of the Han people.
Li Muzhi was defeated in the Beihai tribes and lost more than 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers of the Marine Eight Banners. Zhao Xun sent Liu Wenqi, a military envoy familiar with the Beihai tribes, to assist Li Muzhi. Then the war began to win and lose. In short, the war continued to stop.
The King of Beihai and the Beihai tribes suffered losses. The Eight Banners of the Marine Eight Banners had always been 40,000. If they were lost, the soldiers of the Beihai tribes were replenished. The King of Beihai and the Beihai tribes were unable to stop.
After reading the Youzhou Memorial Report every five days, Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh: "This Liu Wenqi is really bad!"
Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "In this way, the King of Beihai and the tribes of Beihai will die."
Once the soldiers of the Beihai tribes joined the Eight Banners of the Marine tribes, they would be out of the jurisdiction of the various tribes of the Beihai tribes. Because of the battle, they would gain considerable gains, which was many times greater than those of the tribes. Therefore, they were ruthless in the face of the tribes.
The loyalty of the tribe turned into allegiance to the Beihai Protectorate.
His family members were also placed under the jurisdiction of the Beihai Protectorate. After defeating the Beihai King, the territory of the Beihai tribes and the Beihai Protectorate were evenly divided, and although there was also a lot of land, these families could graze here, and
The Beihai Protectorate has very little tax collection. Therefore, many warriors from the Beihai tribes hope to join the Eight Banners of the Marine.
While consuming the male members of the Beihai tribes and the Beihai King, Li Mu was annexing the land of the Beihai tribes and the Beihai King. Although the Beihai tribes knew about this situation, they were powerless. They did not dare to resist and lost the Beihai.
They were finished in the Protectorate's Mansion. They couldn't bear the anger of the Xiaoguo Army. However, these tribe leaders still got a lot of good things.
What's more, some tribe leaders directly defected to the Xiaoguo Army, took a large number of gold coins, lived in Youzhou City, and started business. Zhao Xun naturally took good care of these people.
.The tribes and ethnic groups were also split up by the Xiaoguo Army and placed in various places.
To be honest, these people have a good view. They know that they can't turn over, so they simply get a large amount of rewards and live a life of a wealthy man, which is also very good. They even have a little privilege.
In addition, due to the regaining of the three eastern prefectures and the concessions of the Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Marine tribe, the land in Youzhou has also increased a lot, and Zhao Xun also allowed the Government Affairs Department to relax the land ownership area. This also made some big landlords even more
It was easy to accept the rule of the Xiaoguo Army.
