Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 33 Commercial espionage

Xie Changyang never thought that his enemy would play such a beautiful trick under his nose, leaving himself and the tens of thousands of troops he led to stay outside Hanzhong City in a daze, waiting for the surrender of the Taiping Army , It wasn't until the Lin family's flaming Tengzhu flag was flying over the city of Hanzhong that he realized that he had fallen into the tactic of slowing down the troops played by the Lin family and the Taiping Army. However, it was too late for him to react at this time. With the addition of the division, even if the Tiannan Army is stronger than the opponent, it will become a dream in the mirror if it wants to take down Hanzhong Fucheng casually.

Both Xie Changyang and Wen Na, who were teased by this, were unwilling to give up. However, the two divisions of the Lin family in Hanzhong Prefecture had already taken over the defense of the city quickly before their own side could respond, and immediately prepared for battle. It can be clearly seen from the deployment of the army above the head that the Lin family has completely controlled the city of Hanzhong. Not only the original city defense facilities have been strengthened, but also long-range catapults and heavy crossbow arrows have also been placed on the top of the city, which is obviously only available to the Lin family. Equipped with such defensive weapons with such strength, although the Taiping Army was huge for a while, such heavy weapons had to be accumulated over many years.

It can be seen that the situation in Hanzhong Prefecture is over, but such a vast piece of fertile land allows the Lin family to use their schemes and tricks to get there, and their own side has run for thousands of miles but ended up like this. city, but he didn't know how much he would have to pay. With the 70,000 to 80,000 people in his hands, it would be very rare to get a cheap one.

On March 8, 697 in the Gregorian calendar in the mainland, Xie Changyang led his army back a hundred miles. In order to counter the threat of the Lin family in Hanzhong, Xie Changyang built a city in Yongchuan Town, an important town hundreds of miles away from the Hanzhong prefecture, and implemented a city building plan in Yongchuan. He also announced that Yongchuan would build a new mansion no less than that of Hanzhong. Xie Changyang also recruited local gentry who were close to the Lang family, and announced that the large area of ​​southwest land in the actual control area would be brought under the jurisdiction of Yongchuan. Crossing out the six towns in one go belongs to the management of Yongchuan. In fact, a new force has formed to occupy the southwest of the Hanzhong Basin.

On March 18, 697 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the Northwest Army, which had withdrawn its troops to Jianmen Pass and Sishui Ridge, an important northern point, suddenly notified the Lin Lang family in Hanzhong and Yongchuan. In view of the tense situation in the Hanzhong Basin, With the possibility of civil war breaking out, the Northwest Military and Political Governor's Office announced that the three towns of Xinglong, Hechang, and Tumen located in the east of the Hanzhong Basin will be temporarily controlled by the Northwest Army closed at Jianmen, and Shayuan Town in the north of the basin will be garrisoned by Sishui Ridge. The Northwest Army will temporarily take over the defense and management, and everything will be decided after the situation in the Hanzhong Basin returns to stability.

The Northwest Military and Political Governor's Mansion was actually not aware of this decision, but Sheneri who was stationed in Xikang felt that this was an opportunity when he learned that the Lang family was already on the top of Yongchuan Mountain. Controlling a piece of land, the sources of supplies, soldiers and finances and taxes will be much more abundant. You must know which of the eighteen towns in Hanzhong is not a fat and fat place with a population of more than 80,000, which is better than the towns where you are, Xikang, and the Northwest prefectures. Ji is many times stronger, even if it can control a town, it is good.

When receiving the letter from Shenei, Wu Feng was discussing with Xiao Tang and Su Qin in the study about the system reform of Longdong, Lulong and Xikang prefectures. , but at the moment it is actually controlled by the Northwest. If it is not reformed, it seems to be a little out of touch with the management of the Northwest Administrative Bureau. If it is reformed, it seems that it will be difficult to give an explanation to the central government of the empire, including Situ Yutang around him.

"Look, our affairs here are not over yet, this **** in the house is still causing trouble for me." Wufeng smiled and shook the urgent letter in his hand, "This **** is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, The situation in Hanzhong is already tense, and he is still fanning the flames on both sides."

After receiving the secret document, Xiao Tang took a glance at it and handed it to Su Qin who was next to him with a smile. Let them exercise their muscles and bones, and fight a good battle, at least it will prevent them from thinking about it."

"Yeah, this Shenei is really smart enough. Seeing the confrontation between the two powerhouses in the basin, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Well, let's set up such a temporary independence, impartiality, and the four towns will become For our outlying bases, you must know that these four towns should not be underestimated. These are the most fertile lands on the land of Kansai. The four towns have a population of about 300,000, which is worth less than half of them. It’s a mansion, and it’s a high-yielding grain-producing area with developed agriculture, which is of great benefit to us in the Northwest, but at least it’s helpful, at least we don’t have to worry about the food in the entire Xikang Mansion.” Xiao Tang immediately picked up In other words, his analysis of problems has always been from the economic and financial point of view. The agricultural land in Xikang is barren and suitable for pasture growth. There is great potential for animal husbandry, but food is insufficient and must be imported from other places. After the development of agriculture and water conservancy, food can only be self-sufficient, and even with the growth of the population, a part of it needs to be imported from the hinterland of the empire. This has always been what Xiao Tang is most worried about. In recent years, food reserves have always been the focus of the work of the War Preparedness Department. The most important thing is not only a backlog of a large amount of funds, but also a huge pressure on transportation and storage. This not only solved Xikang's food problem at once, but also provided a buffer zone for Jianmen Pass and Sishui Ridge where the Northwest Army was stationed. Of course, it is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

"Hehe, does your lord feel that it's not easy to explain to Miss Lin?" Su Qin asked with a smile as if he had seen through his boss's secret.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. When I asked about it, I said it was Xiao Tang's own idea. I went to Northern Luzon to inspect it. When I found out, it was already done, so I had to accept it." Wu Feng Scratching his scalp, he smiled embarrassingly, and said proudly.

"My lord, it's not the demeanor of a superior person to shift the responsibility to the subordinates." Xiao Tang smiled and shook his head, how can there be such a boss who actually pushes the responsibility to the subordinates and pretends not to know.

"Hey, if you're in a hurry, you don't have to worry about it. Xiao Tang, you've been through it once for me, but if the Lin family really came to ask, it's reasonable. Right now, the Lang family has the upper hand in the basin. Does the Lin family have the confidence to control these marginal market towns? I don’t think so.” Wufeng shrugged and laughed, “I don’t think the two of them have the intention to manage us at this time. The Lin family is thinking about how to drive Xie Changyang out of Hanzhong, and the Lang family is naturally thinking about how to gain a firm foothold in Yongchuan and wait for the opportunity, so we have no choice but to survive in this crack."

As he was talking, Wufeng casually picked up a secret report, "Look, it's not that we are trying to attract other people's attention, they are also trying to take advantage of us. Diao Su's security department and Qingyang The Ministry of Internal Affairs teamed up to capture a spy of the Lin family, but this guy did not come to spy on our military and internal affairs intelligence, but the idea of ​​our Economic Development Agency."

"Economic Development Department?" Both Xiao Tang and Su Qin were a little confused. The Economic Development Department is usually responsible for the development of industry, commerce and agriculture in the county, and the introduction of capital merchants. State secrets are a bit irrelevant. Could it be that these guys lost their minds and went to the wrong place?

"Well, that's right, don't look at me with that surprised look. I'm not wrong, and they're not wrong. It's the Science and Technology Development Department under the Economic Development Agency. Their eyes are not usually venomous. "Wu Feng stood up, walked around and said with some pride: "It seems that the achievements of our Science and Technology Development Department have attracted the attention of interested people. People stared at him, that guy wandered around outside several times, and finally sneaked in at night, and was caught by our people."

Both Xiao Su and Xiao Su came to their senses, and Xiao Tang was even more nervous~IndoMTL.com~What is their purpose? Who sent it? How did they know that it was the research result of our Technology Development Department? "

"Hmph, that guy refused to admit it at first, but Diao Su and the others used heavy torture to confess. It should be sent by the Lin family. The purpose is not limited to which one, but we use it to improve The latex leather on the carriage or the refined spring steel sheet should be their main goal. I think the success of our improved carriage has caused a sensation. Naturally, some people will think of this aspect. Now Qingyang Wei's Pentium car dealership has fully adopted it. With the new technology provided by the Science and Technology Development Department, the business is far more prosperous than before. The passenger bus can reach Selms in the western border of the Punjab in the west, Robin City, the capital of Luzon in the southwest, and even directly in the empire. The major cities have already reached the Beiling seashore in the north, and a large number of freight chartered cars are rented out, especially those porcelain merchants and kiln owners in Bonan. This demand for improved carriages. Wei Dongchen made the right bet this time, and placed an order for thousands of vehicles at once. Now the major vehicle manufacturers in Jinzhou are working overtime for his Wei family. Orders can't be ranked, if there is no law that stipulates that the military has priority in ordering, I'm afraid our combat readiness department will not know how to queue up until the year of the monkey." Wufeng has been developing the Tongbai poison gas jointly developed by the Science and Technology Development Department and the combat readiness department. After the great success in the First Battle of Longdong, he became more and more interested in the Science and Technology Development Department. Every time he returned to Qingyang, he always took time to inspect the Science and Technology Development Department and put forward some specific requirements and suggestions. People see that the top boss values ​​them so much, and they are even more proud, and they are more confident in doing things that seem to be a bit unprofessional in the eyes of outsiders.
