Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 306 Food War
In the rural shooting ceremony, Nobunaga Murong was the last champion. Zhang Zhao was not surprised by this result.

Although Murong Nobunaga is not good at dismounting and wearing heavy armor, after all, he is still a young man in his teens, and his body development and fat reserves are far from being comparable to people like Man Xiong Dunzhu.

But he also has his advantages. Murong Nobunaga, who came from a family, actually didn't want to develop into foot combat. His development direction was cavalry.

This can be seen from his body. He is tall, has long legs, has long arms, and has a good ability to draw a bow with one hand.

And because he was born in a family, his riding skills are very good. He has also been trained by a master in terms of raising horses and treating diseases for war horses. His riding and shooting skills.Maybe even more general.

As a result, in the rural archery competition, Murong Nobunaga won No.1 in riding and riding, No.2 in horse art, and No.3 in infantry. Lang.

In fact, Zhang Zhao also understood in his heart that apart from the above advantages Murong Nobunaga possessed, he also had another advantage, that is his special relationship with himself.

For example, in the final of riding and archery, Zhang Zhao felt that Ma Shacai was holding back a little.

Back then outside Shouchang Town, Ma Shacai took advantage of his horse and captured Murong Nobunaga.

Although there are elements of trickery, Ma Shacai is still slightly better than Murong Nobunaga in actual combat.

But this time, in the final decisive battle, Ma Shacai performed abnormally in the last shot and handed over No. 1. Zhang Zhao always felt that the writing did not seem like a mistake, but intentional.

The champion is Murong Nobunaga, and the second place is Ma Yaozi. Ma Yaozi is on Zhang Zhao's side, and he belongs to the hexagonal warrior who can fight both on horseback and off.

Having also possessed this ability, but was already the commander-in-chief of a town, and Yan Jin did not choose to go off in person, Ma Yaozi undoubtedly became the second best in Guiyi.

Tanhualang is a barbarian. He took the position of Tanhua completely by relying on his formidable foot combat skills to forcefully offset other disadvantages.

And this local shooting ceremony is not just as simple as deciding the top three and making everyone excited for several days.

But through this event.Let the Han people in Liangzhou, the Sogdians and the people of the six tribes understand.

As long as you have the ability, you can stand out from Zhang Sikong, get benefits, and become a master.

Unlike the original, no matter how powerful he is, he can only serve the tribal leader, and after working hard, he can get three melons and two dates.

At the same time, it also made them understand that the real caller in Liangzhou had changed, and Zhang Sikong was the leader of everyone.

After the shooting ceremony in the hometown, the two brothers Su Lunyan and Su Lun Luxin who came from Lanzhou also set off to return to Lanzhou.

Zhang Zhao sneered secretly. According to the current situation, Lanzhou has at least 140,000 households and [-] people.

If it was in later generations, such a large place, with only a few hundred thousand people, would probably be a remote area that could not be poorer.

But in the current Hexi Longyou, with a population of more than [-], it is basically considered the wealthiest state below Liangzhou.

In such a rich place, the forces must be very complicated and there are many tribes.

But in the end, only Su Lunjia came, and it was under Zhang Zhao's forced order through Weiyan Temple.

This is completely ignoring me, Zhang Sikong!
In particular, the Han and Qiang clans headed by the Wang family who occupied Lanzhou City didn't even send a single person here.

Sure enough, the last thing people can give up is power. In fact, Zhang Zhao really wants the Wang family to return after hearing the news, but these people just want to force him to do it himself.

So the question now is whether to fight Lanzhou first or Ganzhou?

According to the current deployment, attacking Ganzhou should be the top priority, but Yin Yaozi has a different opinion on this, he shook his head, looked at Zhang Zhao and said.

"Since Sikong ruled Liangzhou, we first repaired Liangzhou City and the two county towns of Guzang and Shenniao, and rebuilt the five forts of Liangzhou.

Later, more than 100,000 people were resettled around Liangzhou, and Minqin County was newly established, and people were expropriated successively, reaching several [-] people.

Although the expenditure was paid by the gold and silver that Sikong took from his personal treasury, the grain bought with these gold and silver was the maximum that could be produced around Liangzhou.

If we immediately launch a large army to attack Ganzhou at the beginning of the year, the food problem will be a very serious problem. "

Zhang Zhao nodded, the problem Yin Yaozi said does exist.

After Zhang Zhao launched so many large-scale expropriation activities, the price of grain in Liangzhou has risen from 28 renminbi for a bucket of corn to [-] renminbi.

Although this also has the factor that the price of grain at the end of the year must be higher than that of the harvest, it does prove that no matter whether it is the Han people or the people of the six tribes, they are running out of grain.

Two months later, it will be the season for planting corn and spring wheat. If a war is launched at this time, it will greatly affect this year's food security.

Yan Jin also interjected: "Although the Ganzhou Uighurs lost thousands of soldiers in the last battle in Suzhou, more than [-]% of their soldiers were lost.

But it has been an enemy of our Guiyi Army for decades, and it will not give in easily.

If Ganzhou is to be destroyed, an army of more than [-] must be mobilized, and tens of thousands of civilians must be conscripted. Using so much people's power, this year's spring wheat will be planted.must be affected.

If only a few thousand soldiers and horses are dispatched, as in Suzhou last time, it may be very difficult to break through Ganzhou City.

But Lanzhou is different. The ministries of Lanzhou and Liangzhou are inextricably linked. Su Lunjia actually migrated to Lanzhou from the six ministries.

In addition, although there are hundreds of thousands of people in Lanzhou.However, they belong to various ministries and belong to different departments.

We don't need to send out a large army, we only need more than a thousand elites, and then we can separate and divide them, and we can defeat them one by one.

Besides, Sikong had already issued an order one month ago, requiring the leaders of various ministries in Lanzhou to send people to Liangzhou to explain the attack on the angel.

But in the end, only the disciples of Su Lun's family came, and the rest of the ministries turned a deaf ear. This was provoking Sikong's majesty.

If Sikong didn't severely punish these families, in Longyou, Hexi, who would listen to us? "

That's right, Zhang Zhao nodded, this was the most important reason why he hesitated between Lanzhou and Ganzhou first.

He, Zhang Zhao, threatened the Lanzhou ministries, but the Lanzhou ministries refused to come, and if he could not punish those who did not come, his prestige would be seriously affected.

"Li Cunhui, take a hundred cavalrymen and head south immediately, recover Su Lunyan and Su Lunluxin brothers, and declare the fact that XX will punish the various ministries in Lanzhou.

If Su Lunjia is willing to act as an internal response, his family will be the governor of Lanzhou in the future. If he refuses, wait for me to flatten Lanzhou and the whole family will be slaves! "

"Here!" Li Cunhui crossed his arms in response, and immediately got up and went out, summoning his cavalry to chase after Brother Su Lun.

They had just left Liangzhou for only half a day, so if they were fast, they would definitely be able to catch up.

"Yan Jin, you are responsible for drawing 1000 people from the brave men of various ministries, and then 500 people from Hanhai Town, so that Ma Shacai and Er Zhujing can prepare to go to Lanzhou."

The so-called three irons in life, one of them has carried a gun together. Zhang Chao, a warrior in Liangzhou, gave them titles, official positions, and gold, silver and rice grains, so they must be used in due course.

After using them, they will have a sense of belonging and treat Zhang Zhao as one of their own.

. . . .

The arrangements for Lanzhou are over. Although Ganzhou will not be attacked for the time being, the strategy of weakening Ganzhou cannot be stopped.

"Cao Wantong, let your Sogdian Chamber of Commerce continue to purchase grain from Ganzhou, no matter how expensive it is."

Cao Wentong nodded, but said with some embarrassment: "Ganzhou passed by Sikong last time. After buying grain and grass, the corn is much higher than that in Liangzhou, and it has already reached more than [-] yuan a bucket.

If the purchase continues, some people from Liangzhou may regard the rice from Liangzhou as the rice from Ganzhou. "

Zhang Zhao knew what Cao Wentong meant, the Sogdians, if they make money, they probably don't have much bottom line.

Now the price of grain in Ganzhou is double that of Liangzhou. Before Zhang Zhao asked Cao Wantong to continue buying Ganzhou's grain, there was actually a situation where Liangzhou's corn flowed to Ganzhou.

Zhang Zhao's face turned cold, and he looked at Shen Nianban beside him, "Shen Nianban, you immediately mobilize three hundred cavalry from each department, the old village chiefs in each county, and the lieutenant in Zhongjie of the township also listen to your command to form a detective team." group.

From now on, anyone who dares to sell grain from Liangzhou to Ganzhou will be imprisoned if he sells one bucket of grain, will be killed if he sells ten buckets of grain, and will be punished as shepherd slaves if he sells more than fifty buckets of grain.

Anyone who dares to buy grain locally in Liangzhou and sell it as Ganzhou grain will be beheaded! "

"Here!" Shen Nianban also stood up and crossed his hands in response.

Zhang Chao thought for a moment, then continued: "Shen Nianpan commanded the traitor detection team, but they had to fully listen to the opinion of Chief Cao Wantong."

Cao Wantong was overjoyed immediately. He was in charge of buying Ganzhou's grain, and now he has the help of the gangster investigation team, so he has the power in his hands immediately!

From Liangzhou to Ganzhou, there are so many merchants going west. With this authority in their hands, they all have to listen to him, Cao Wantong!

Although the matter is indeed a bit more troublesome, and there are more people offended, but the power is greater.

After the plan was over, Zhang Zhao asked everyone to go down and prepare separately, and waited until the spring plowing was completed and the food and grass were ready before attacking Ganzhou.

But for Zhang Zhao.The strategy of buying Ganzhou's grain at high prices is just a light order.

But it fell on the heads of the Uighurs in Ganzhou.But it's like Mount Tai pressing down on the top.

Cao Wantong was actually conservative, and the situation in Ganzhou was even more terrifying than what he had received.

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, the corn in Ganzhou has soared from almost [-] yuan a bucket to [-] yuan a bucket, and it is still rising.

Because after the autumn harvest last year, Liangzhou frantically harvested grain from Ganzhou at a price that exceeded the market price by 50.00%.

Moreover, it was forcibly ordered that merchants of all ethnic groups who came to Liangzhou from Ganzhou must bring a certain amount of rice to pass the customs in Liangzhou.

This is too vicious!If it is profitable, farmers are naturally willing to sell it, and merchants can only buy it vigorously if they want to pass the customs.

When Ganzhou Renyu Khan reacted, Ganzhou lost more than [-] shi of grain in at least two months.

This is definitely very serious for the Uighurs in Ganzhou, which has only a few hundred thousand people.

Even now, no matter how high the price of grain in Ganzhou is, some people still collect grain, so that grain has become a more valuable existence than gold, silver and cloth.

As a result, thieves and horse thieves flocked everywhere, and what they looted was no longer gold and silver, but food.

The bandits sold the robbed grain to Liangzhou through various channels. At the same time, during the Battle of Suzhou, Geluo Tongli, the medicine who wanted to replace Renyu Khan, also fell to the southwest of Ganzhou.

Desperate, he could only show his allegiance to Zhang Zhao, and kept transporting grain from Ganzhou to Liangzhou through the mountain roads in the southwest of Ganzhou, making the situation in Ganzhou even worse.

Under Zhang Zhao's instigation, a brutal economic war is about to reach its climax.

　I will ask for a day off tomorrow, the children and their wives have fallen out, and I have to accompany them out for a picnic. In fact, I have used my mobile phone for the past two days, and there are too many people in the family.There is no peace of mind at all.
