Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 6 1 bet on the world

The prudence of the Machihan people cannot be said to have made a mistake, but when they later found out that the impact of this matter was so huge and far-reaching, they all felt extremely regretful and regretful for their decision. Whether it was Lei Juetian or Bi Xili, they were heroes of the generation at that time. Although they were very suspicious of Li Wufeng's crazy actions, they dared not follow up. This also had a deep-seated reason. They dare not take the same crazy risk without any reason. But Li Wufeng is different. The huge amount of idle funds plundered by Yin De'an gives him room to operate. As the owner of Canglang Study, Gu Ji is not only Li Wufeng's most trusted friend, but also a generation of scholars who know the past and the present. It's not a family's opinion, but the opinions of several famous folk scholars in the imperial capital, so Li Wufeng dared to take such a risk.

In fact, when Li Wufeng made such a determination, he was also prepared to fail. Once he made a mistake in his judgment, he would lose at least two-thirds of the funds obtained from Indian Dean. Unbearable and unacceptable, but Li Wufeng was able to bear it and dared to accept it, betting on the world, this is Li Wufeng's assertion to himself on this matter many years later.

Lei Juetian was not the only one who was as confused as Lei Juetian. The Prime Minister of the Kamanians, Gomez, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire also noticed Li Wufeng's astonishing move. Such a large-scale grain transaction made the prices in different parts of the empire different. There are signs of a sharp increase in the level of the empire. The new Imperial Minister of the Interior, the Duke of Sidon, even sent a severely worded official letter to the Northwest and Kansai military governors' offices, pointing out that the actions of the Northwest and Kansai have seriously interfered with the internal grain circulation of the empire. , and warned Northwest and Kansai not to speculate in the grain market and disrupt the normal circulation of grain, otherwise they will inevitably suffer the consequences. And the Imperial Combat Materials Storage Bureau under the Imperial Military Affairs Administration even spit out four million tans of grain in one go, which is equivalent to the imperial strategy. Two-thirds of all grain reserves in the Material Reserve Bureau dropped the highest price of grain to four and a half gold coins per load, earning more than 10 million imperial gold coins in one breath, which made His Majesty the Emperor ecstatic. He was directly promoted to the director of the Imperial Combat Materials Storage Bureau and concurrently served as the Deputy Minister of the Imperial Military Affairs Administration.

And when the grain purchase operation in the northwest swept across the Liberian countries, affected by the rise in grain prices, the grain merchants in the Liberian countries sold their grain one after another, and even the strategic grain reserves of the countries also participated During this speculative sale, it did not attract Gomez's attention at the beginning. It was not until a considerable amount of reserve grain was sold that it still failed to stabilize the grain price. Gomez noticed that there seemed to be something weird in it. He immediately ordered to stop the selling, but at this time the grain reserves had been sold to less than 30% of the normal time. Since the price of grain was still running at a high level at this time, after hesitating for a long time, Gomez finally made a decision that he regretted all his life, that is, not to buy for the time being, but to wait and observe for a while It depends on the situation, and with this observation, the price of food has never fallen again, but has been skyrocketing, until it is finally discovered that the situation is not right, and when it is prepared to forcefully enter the market to buy, it is already priceless.

Just when the large-scale grain purchase campaign was in full swing, the war in the Wuhu area resumed. The Sixth Army and several independent divisions in the Southern Military Region, in order to regain control of Wen Ning Mansion, once again fought in the Wen Ning Mansion. There was a fierce confrontation in the territory of Ningfu. The five divisions and two independent divisions of the Sixth Army, as well as a large number of navy troops, all participated in this tragic battle for Wenning. The army of more than three corps was invested, and the main navy that was also deployed on the Five Lakes battlefield was also placed in the Wen Ning Mansion. The war between the two sides became increasingly cruel and fierce, and showed a tendency to stalemate. And this time, the gentry in the Wenning Mansion also stood up uncharacteristically, organized and supported the establishment of a large number of militia rebels and private troops economically and materially, and began a large-scale harassment and attack campaign to contain Ma Qihan The large number of human forces forced the Maqihan people to invest more troops in the territory of Wenning Mansion.

Looking at the stacks of battle reports in front of him, the slightly dark and thin Situ Biao was no longer as unrestrained as he used to be. Apart from running around in various local battlefields all day long, the unshaven Situ Biao had to work tirelessly to meet the entire Wen Ning Mansion. Those gentry who formed a large number of rebels and private armies in the territory, without the support of these people, the Wenning Mansion War may have been unsustainable for a long time. The private army has begun to play an important role, especially in destroying the logistics and transportation channels of the Maqihan people, which has played an unimaginable and huge effect.

At this time, Situ Biao realized that becoming a master was far from being as simple as he imagined. Although he had already been granted the title of King of Xiang and his fief was the entire Wuhu County, he also knew that this was just the It is an expedient measure for the brothers who have already ascended to the position of great treasure. No one is willing to give up such a big piece of fat in Wuhu. Being able to dump it to him in name is because he sees that he will immediately lose his sincerity, but this is only It's just a matter of title. If he really wants to become the actual owner of this land, Ha has to pay more hardships and costs.

Situ Biao has been so busy for more than a month that it can be said that he has not even slept once. Since he was entrusted with the title, he has integrated all the forces attached to him, appeased the strength of various factions in the territory, and firmly grasped the power of all parties. In order to maintain the power of the military and coordinate neighboring relations, it is also necessary to actively prepare for various wars. Although a lot of deployment and preparations had been made before the war, it was discovered that there were still countless meticulous work to be done, from combat deployment to logistical support, from troop mobilization to specific campaign arrangements, all of which disturbed Situ Biao. His head was dizzy, if it wasn't for the people sent by his uncle to assist him, Situ Biao really didn't know how he would deal with all this alone.

When the curtain was lifted, a vigorous figure flashed in, "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

"Well, I want to know how the war on the Eastern Front is going. I'm going to visit the Eastern Front." Situ Biao cheered up and raised his head.

The capable man who was recruited had a stern look on his face, his well-fitting military uniform was dusty, and his slightly sunken eye sockets were a little yellow. It was obvious that he had just returned from the wilderness outside, "Your Highness, Dong There is still not much progress in the battle on the front line, but the strength of the Machihan people has begun to show signs of fatigue. In the past ten days or so, our continuous attacks have begun to show their effects, especially the militias and rebels in the rear. , the soldiers of the Machihans have to deal with our attack during the day, and they are harassed by the militia and rebels at night and cannot get enough rest. If this continues, they will not be able to survive for a long time, and it will be time for us to counterattack Already."

"Well, isn't the 3rd Independent Division of the Eastern Military Region stationed at the junction of Wenning and Jinhua? I have already greeted Lao Qi and asked him to help me, and he also replied to me and agreed with me. According to the request, the Third Independent Division can join the battle when necessary. If we need it, I will also send someone to contact the Third Independent Division. Once the time is right, we can immediately go into battle." Situ Jun smiled faintly Dao, full of self-confidence, "I want the Third Independent Division to send some people over to familiarize themselves with the terrain, so that they can enter the battlefield as quickly as possible when needed."

The capable man said with a happy face: "That's great, my subordinates are worried about the Eastern Front due to the fierce fighting in the early stage. Although the losses of the Maqihan people are great~IndoMTL.com~, our own losses are not small , Can it take on this important task when it comes to the counterattack? If there is a fresh army from the division to join, then there is absolutely no problem. But how did His Highness persuade His Highness King Chu to agree to let the independent third division send troops?"

"Well, it's not conditional. This king gave me a pair of white jade exquisite horses and a huhu lake pearl in exchange for this promise, and the old seven only agreed to the third independent division just to help finish the battle. In one battle, you won’t even participate in the attack on Wenning Prefecture. All in all, Cheng Yong, you must remember that you should never pin your hopes on others. If you want to achieve great things, you can only rely on yourself in the end.” Situ Biao deeply Sighed emotionally.

"But Your Highness, the strength in our hands has been used to the limit, and there is really no extra troops. The fighting power of the Machihans is indeed too strong. Although we have an absolute advantage in numbers, we still fight very hard. Every day We have to pay a considerable price after the battle, and this is the result of the commander of the army, Kim Jong-yang, who personally went to the battle to supervise the battle, and this time, Mr. Jin fought regardless of the cost." The capable man also deeply felt the lack of troops in his hands.

"Since you have made up your mind to follow this king, you have to reveal it. This king is not a stingy person. As long as you are willing to do things for this king with your heart, this king will naturally not treat him badly. But if you follow this king, you will still be half-hearted and perfunctory Don't blame me for being rude." Situ Biao looked proud, "However, the Sixth Army lost a lot. I have already arranged for people to recruit reserve soldiers from Yueyang and Anqing to take down Wenning Mansion. The king must reward the army well. In addition, this king has already asked His Majesty the emperor to form the eleventh army. The seventh can form the tenth army. Presumably this king can also form the eleventh army. The five lakes have sufficient manpower. It’s just that the funds need to be carefully planned.”
