I’m The King Chapter 1363: : Prelude to Han Banner World (Fifty-Three)

Yingshui is a prefecture of Yingchuan County, but it is now occupied by the Han army. It is far away from Yingchuan County across the Yinghe River. This is actually the front line of the confrontation between the two countries. Over the years, because of Tan Feng's deliberation, the two places have jointly created the most prosperous trading place between the Qin and Han Dynasties, and Yingshui and Yingchuan have also benefited from this. A large number of merchants gathered here, and countless goods were traded here, which contributed to the prosperity here.

There is a short distance between the two cities across the Ying River. Originally, these places were all wasteland, but now, these places are filled with houses. Of course, these houses are not carefully crafted and built with care Yes, most of them are made of mud for the walls and thatch for the roof, which is not bad for sheltering from the wind and rain, but if you really want to live in it, it may not be so comfortable.

Businessmen who trade here know %pig%pig%island%novel ww. that sooner or later these two countries will have a war, and it is obviously not a good idea to spend money here to build houses. No matter how beautiful and gorgeous your house is, it will become ruins.

But don't underestimate these simple thatched houses, any one of them, or at a certain moment, thousands of big businesses are negotiated. The goods were transported to the two places, and then flew from these two cities to various places in Qin and Han Dynasties.

Because of this kind of transaction, Yingshui became the most prosperous county in the Han Dynasty. Back then, Fang Shu even initiated the charity of distributing special silver to the elderly over 60 years old, and was highly affirmed by Gao Yuan, so that this The policy was subsequently implemented in Jishi County and Tianhe County, but other places in Dahan were unable to catch up. Jishi County is the industrial capital of Dahan, where top businessmen gather, and the annual taxes are astonishing. But Tianhe County is where the capital, Jicheng, is located. The political center of the big man naturally refuses to lag behind the local government. Even if Tianhe County is a bit difficult to do, it can only grit its teeth and save money in other places, and is unwilling to lose face. .

As for Yingchuan County, Tan Feng used this market to earn a large amount of military expenses, and equipped his tens of thousands of troops with excellent equipment, but most of his military equipment came from Chu State. In order to support Tan Feng, Huang Xie and Qu Zhong of Chu State also invested a lot of capital.

However, after the end of June, this once extremely hot trading market suddenly calmed down. First, the top businessmen retreated one after another. They were well-informed and ran faster than rabbits. After one night, these top businessmen The agents and employees left cleanly, and then. Others also got the news that the peace between Yingshui and Yingchuan County that lasted for several years may soon become a thing of the past.

The merchants of the Han Dynasty retreated from Yingchuan County like a tide, and the ferries were full of these merchants and left. Among them, there are naturally those who cry and howl. The big merchants don't care too much about losing some goods. To them, it is just a drop in the bucket. But for those small and medium businessmen, it is a heart-wrenching pain to abandon all the goods and the uncollected payment. Many of them came here to pan for gold because of the prosperous business here, but obviously, their luck was extremely bad.

On the second night after the Han merchants retreated, Yingchuan County announced the closure of the city. Countless heavily armed soldiers suddenly appeared on the city wall, and brand-new bed crossbows that had just been torn off from the felt cloth were installed on the city wall, and stone cannons were placed densely. The machine is also properly installed, and next to them, there are baskets of rounded stone bullets stacked on one side. On the streets of the city, except for the soldiers who were hurrying to and fro, the people either closed their doors or retreated in a panic from the other side of the city gate.

The Qin and Han Dynasties seem to be about to break out of war, think about it, Hangu Pass has already started fighting, and Lu Bin is now fighting in full swing, the two countries have torn their last face, how can there be no movement here Woolen cloth?

The city of Yingchuan County is in chaos because the people in Yingchuan County are afraid. Over the years, Qin and Han have clashed, and the Qin army has never won. If they fight a battle and lose a battle, they have long since lost. With confidence, now that the two countries are going to war again, their first thought is naturally to flee.

Tan Feng doesn't care whether these people escape or not, and he will not announce his actual military goals to these refugees. He doesn't want those guys in Tai'an and Wulong to know his real purpose. However, Tan Feng was very certain in his heart that there was only a division of more than 15,000 soldiers led by Gao Yuan's brother-in-law Ye Feng on the opposite side, and his military operation this time had also made corresponding arrangements for the possible attack on the other side. For these years, he has been running Yingchuan City, and he has already had full confidence in his defensive capabilities. Not to mention anything else, the city wall wrapped in thick cement alone is not easy for opponents to break open, let alone What's more, he still has the dangerous pass of Yingshui River.

In the past few years, he has not allowed that kind of steel and concrete bridge to be built between the two cases, and even the size of the boat has been restricted. He will never allow them to drive on the Yingshui River for large boats with more than a hundred materials. , if the Han army wants to attack, what can those small boats that can only carry dozens of people at a time do? The river bank near him is densely packed with carved buildings. The ballista and stone cannon above can easily overturn these boats when they are still in the middle of the river. If the Han army wanted to land and fight, a beachhead in the middle of the river would be enough for them to pay a heavy price.

With less than 20,000 troops, do you want to conquer Yingchuan County, which is defended by 20,000 people? Really dreaming. Tan Feng estimated that if he were to command by himself, at least 50,000 to 100,000 people would be needed to conquer Yingchuan County, which was guarded by 20,000 people, and it would take more than a month. The death toll will definitely exceed 10,000. The Han army is absolutely unwilling to bear such a high price.

In these years, I have never thought about attacking. I have been planning how to defend and how to make Yingchuan County impenetrable. This is Tan Feng's true thinking.

So, when all this came, he left Gongsun Zheng to guard the city with peace of mind, and he followed Gongsun Yan to Tai'an. For him, the most important thing now is to take Tai'an, Wulong, Tai'an is the next ruling center in his plan, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

Occupying the three counties of Wulong, Tai'an, and Yingchuan, he will have strategic depth and room for maneuver. All have greater capital. What Lu Chao can do today, why can't he do it in the future? What's more, I am much better than Lu Chao in terms of geographical advantages. Although they are bordered by both Han and Chu, they must be very happy to see themselves confronting Lu Chao. Being in the gap between the Three Kingdoms, although living a life like stepping on a tightrope, it may not be really dangerous. Or at a certain time, the three countries will all want to win over themselves!

Tai'an and Wulong have been acquired, and Tan Feng believes that he can manage them to be as prosperous as Yingchuan. He is researching the reasons for Gao Yuan’s success. He doesn’t write an issue of the Dahan Weekly. He often finds businessmen from the Han Kingdom to chat with them. What I want to learn is his way of making the country rich and the people strong. As for Gao Yuan's political suicide, the **** big council, big councilors, grass-roots officials and people's self-selection system, etc., don't even think about it.

Learn from the Han Dynasty in terms of economy, but learn from Lu Chao's authoritarian rule in terms of politics. Combining the two, you will create a stronger force and appear in front of the world. Han and Chu can't do it by themselves, but why can't they nibble away step by step in the future, the two sides that are about to fight in Daqin now? Regardless of whether Lu Chao wins or Ying Ying wins, in the end his goal is to replace people.

Tan Feng left the chaotic city of Yingchuan County full of 3617/'> hope. It doesn't matter if the people are in chaos, as long as the army is not in chaos, that's enough. These escaped people, they will come back one day.

Different from the panic in Yingchuan County, Yingshui City on the opposite side has a different look. Although there are obviously more soldiers on the street, all kinds of carriages transporting weapons and ordnance are also coming one after another. Driving into the city from afar, but there is no martial law in the city, the people are still doing what they want, but the business of each shop is very good because of the Chinese people who have withdrawn from the city of Yingchuan County, and the major inns are full ~IndoMTL.com There will be no vacant seats, and everyone is drinking and drinking meat while discussing this sudden change.

"This time it seems that there is going to be a war. This business will definitely be affected." Someone said, this is a land dealer in Yingshui City. If we really want to fight, I'm afraid that the flow of people will drop sharply. During the war, the business is naturally not much, and those who can do war business are top businessmen. These people are a minority, and they will not choose a small shop like them.

"We must fight, you know? I heard that we suffered a big defeat in Lubin! The king is furious, so we must teach these Qin people a lesson."

"Brother, when did you hear the news? Didn't you read the latest issue of Dahan Weekly? Lu Bin was already taken back by us. I guess we deliberately showed weakness in the previous small defeat, and then Get the enemy hooked, and hit them hard."

"What, Lubin has already taken it back. I have been staying opposite for ten days, and I just came back today. Is this true?"

"Look for yourself, this report is posted on the wall of the store!" Someone laughed: "I don't know what you have been looking at for so long after entering the store, and you didn't even notice this." (Unfinished To be continued.)
