The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

"I told the person in charge of the Beixiang and Xifan's forex market that from now on, Yungu will release some of the authority to export weapons. Weapons such as swords, shields, and armor can be sold at the forex market. If you are interested, please hurry up." ! In addition, the share of goods that were previously shipped to Dazheng should be allocated to the market as much as possible. For some goods that are difficult to sell in other markets except Dazheng, factories must be arranged to reduce production or even suspend production.

To deal with sudden changes, the first priority is to protect government property. As long as government property can be stabilized, the overall situation will be stable. On the private and commercial side, after adapting to the changes, they will spontaneously adjust and transform.

Another point is that the interruption of normal trade routes does not mean that all trade routes will be cut off. From Qinzhou to Minzhou, there are many mountain roads. Dazheng does not have the ability to block all trade routes, so he must find some ways in this regard.I heard that there are many places between Qin and Min that are good places to dominate the mountains and create chaos for bandits!For us, not all bandits may be enemies, some can still be united and used for our benefit. "

The most effective way to make up for trade losses is to open up the arms trade. Hot weapons cannot be sold by other forces except the Guining Army.But as for cold weapons, except for bows and crossbows, everything else can be sold freely.The main force in Beixiang still uses cold weapons, and their opponents also mainly use cold weapons. They should be in urgent need of this stuff right now.

For high-end industrial products such as looms, after the trade route is interrupted, other markets cannot fill the gap. Production capacity must be adjusted as soon as possible according to market changes.

Yungu's largest export trade products are iron products and textiles. The solution for the iron products is to switch from civilian use to military industry. The solution for the textiles is to reduce blended products and produce more woolen products.

For imported materials, we have to rely on smuggling. If done properly, smuggling trade should be able to bring in [-]% of the original trade scale.

Of course, this is not a permanent solution. If we really want to solve the problem at its root, we have to rely on military means.

Qinzhou!After sending Guo Kaifeng away, Song Yingkui took a military map and drew a circle on the location of Qinzhou.

Since Da Zheng is not clear about the situation, we will teach them to understand the situation.Qinzhou was the area with the richest products in the original Xisu Province. Driven by the Yungu blending industry, it is now one of the few cotton-producing cities in Dazheng.In Wudu Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou, tea is also produced in some places.

Geographically speaking, this area borders Guanzhong to the east, Sichuan and Shu to the south, and Hanzhong to the southwest. After controlling Qinzhou, if Dazheng wants to block the trade route, it will have to pay a huge price, and it will be very difficult to operate. .

Also, this place is a densely populated area. The current total population should be about 40. After occupying Qinzhou, it will be able to explode at least [-] or [-] soldiers.It can also provide a lot of industrial and agricultural population.

After developing for such a long time, it was time for the Yungu Army to show its sword. It was time for Dazheng's cowards to see the combat effectiveness of the Hot Weapons Army.

But, this matter has to be postponed a little bit, and the time is a bit premature for the time being.

There are two reasons for the immaturity. First, the current strength is too few and we have to wait for the two newly formed main battle groups to complete their training.Another thing is to wait for the overall situation to become clear!
Beixiang and the Mimeng people were going to fight a decisive battle, and Song Yingkui was afraid that Beixiang would be defeated.If Beixiang is defeated, Yungu's army will have to focus its main energy on the north instead of the east.

Once the troops enter Qinzhou, there will be no retreat between Yungu and Dazheng. Dazheng will definitely mobilize all his forces to start a decisive battle with Yungu's army.At this time, if there is a sudden big change in the north, it will fall into an all-out war on two fronts, and Yungu does not have that many troops to deal with it.

After the decisive battle between Xiang Mi comes to an end, the situation will be better.No matter which side wins, it will restrain the energy of the Zheng army and prevent them from fighting against the Yungu army with all their strength.

wait!As long as the boots over there fall to the ground, time will become Yun Gujun's friend.

...Song Yingkui wanted to wait for the victory of Xiang Miao's battle to fall, but Dazheng's side was impatient. Maybe they also realized that once the decisive battle of Xiang Miao came to an end, Zheng's army would lose the opportunity.

In mid-April of the 11th year of Jingli, Yungu received news that Zheng Jun sent troops from Qinzhou Pass and Wuduguan, advanced into Minzhou in two directions, and rushed towards the front line of Huichuan Town.

Minzhou is located between Yungu and Taoyang, where vassal and Han Dynasties live together. It is currently a vacuum zone with no control, and it is also a buffer zone that Song Yingkui intentionally left.

Zheng's army suddenly approached Minzhou, which meant that there was a formal break between Yungu and Dazheng.

"How many Zheng troops entered Min this time? How many forces did they consist of?" When things didn't go as planned, Zheng Jun took action first. Song Yingkui quickly organized a military meeting in Taoyang to discuss countermeasures!

"The commander-in-chief of Zheng's army is Han Gang, the governor of Western Shaanxi. The enemy general coming from the direction of Qinzhou is Yao Dake, and the enemy general coming from the direction of Wudu is Tao Kedao. The two armies have joined forces in Minzhou, and their combat strength is eight Between a thousand and ten thousand." Liu Chenghai, deputy chief of staff of the Yungu Army, took the relevant intelligence and reported the military information he had to Song Yingkui.

The maximum number of main battle troops is [-]?Zheng Jun really thought highly of himself. When Beixiang was fighting Yuyungu Army, he didn't dare to think so highly of him.

"How many cavalry can Zheng's army have?"

"About three or four thousand!"

After grasping the military situation, Song Yingkui straightened himself up and began to issue military orders:
“Now that the wolf is here, we cannot be weak sheep that can be bullied.

There are two objectives in this battle. One is to annihilate more than half of the Zheng army that entered Min and paralyze them in one battle!They have a small number of cavalry and limited mobility. Our army's cavalry regiment plus a bicycle infantry regiment are enough to pursue the enemy.The second is to regain Qinzhou, liberate the people of Qinzhou, and free them from the evil government, so as to unite the hearts of our people in Xisu and realize the ambition of our Yungu military government to subjugate the people and govern the land, widely practice good governance, and protect our people.

In this battle, Song Xueliang is the commander-in-chief, and Song Yingqing and Wei Zhenchuan are the deputy commanders. Three main battle groups are assembled, plus several independent battalions, with a total strength of six to seven thousand troops!Based on this, the Chief of Staff decided on a strategy within two days. The whole army would use all its strength to decide the outcome in one battle! "

After deliberation for a long time, Song Yingkui finally used the word liberation to characterize the military operation to send troops to Qinzhou.Apart from this word, it feels difficult to use other words.

The encounter with Da Zheng was different from any previous war. Previously, the Yungu Army was naturally on the side of justice and did not need to compete for the right to interpret the war.This time, if the justice of the war is not explained, the Yungu army will really become rebellious officials and traitors, standing on the opposite side of the people's hearts.

Dazheng's biggest excuse was that he easily abandoned several prefectures in Xisu, causing the people of Xisu to suffer feudal rebellion, and hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives.Qinzhou originally belonged to Xisu Province, and there are still many abandoned people who fled to Qinzhou for refuge.Arousing the sympathy of the people of Qinzhou for Dazheng's neglect of the people and strengthening the people's sense of identity as Xisu people in Qinzhou will reduce the resistance to many soldiers entering Qinzhou!
