Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 394

Chapter 397

There is also Wang Cheng, who owns more than [-] textile workshops under his command, and can weave tens of thousands of pieces of cloth every day. It can be said bluntly that if Wang Cheng's family runs at full capacity, they can produce in one year, and everyone in the world can wear clothes. clothes.

As a businessman, Ran Ming hopes to have a technological monopoly, because a technological monopoly will bring him enough benefits.

If Ran Ming considers it from the perspective of a ruler, he dislikes monopoly very much. Not only will monopoly not promote technological development, but it will hinder the growth of the economy.

Ran Ming's purpose is not to make money, but to strengthen Wei's economic construction. The ultimate goal is to use economic and commercial activities to replace the traditional way of wealth accumulation, thereby reducing the speed of land acquisition.

You know, Ran Ming is further reducing the production value of the land. If the annual income of [-] mu of fertile land is not as good as that of an ordinary small shop, will people still go to great lengths to merge the land?
Ran Ming has no means of coercion, because at this time, merchants must be given enough sweetness to make them temporarily satisfied with the status quo.

So Ran Ming warned Zhang Xun and Wang Cheng, hoping that they would restrain themselves.

As for whether they will listen, Ran Ming doesn't care, because in this era, he has enough means to beat Wang Cheng and Zhang Xun back to their original forms.

Faced with Ran Ming's warning, Zhang Xun, Wang Cheng, and even all the merchants in the entire Wei State Commercial League did not dare to be careless.

Because they know that since Ran Ming has the ability to lift them up, he can also lift up others. They have repaid the brilliance of others, so naturally they don't want to go back to the past.

Ran Ming said again: "If you want to get the respect you want, you must have enough diligence, great enthusiasm, kindness to people, wisdom, self-esteem, self-love, magnanimity, peace of mind, and generosity when doing business. Be polite, pay attention to etiquette, love life, and be good at combining actual profits to fully benefit the society, and the most important thing is that your interests should be combined with the country."

Ran Ming combined the Confucian business culture of later generations with the characteristics of this era and summed it up.In the end, the Huaxia Business League collectively worshiped Confucius at Qimeng Academy, and took Zigong, one of the ten philosophers, as the ancestor of Confucian merchants. Like the carpenter's Gongshuban and the grandson of the military strategist, they established their future goals.

Of course, the large-scale worship of Confucius and Zigong by the Huaxia Business Alliance in the Qiming Academy also aroused violent reactions from people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Quite right, Confucius taught people without discrimination, that's how it should be.

After offering sacrifices to Confucius and Zigong, the members of the Wei State Business League with the aura of Confucian merchants began to return to Wei State, and they will start their new lives.

Just when Ran Ming organized merchants to worship Confucius collectively, Wei's military exercise also officially kicked off.The red and blue armies fought fiercely in an area with a radius of thousands of miles.

In Xiangshan City, the prefecture of Peijun, in the large tent of the central army of the blue army, the red army marched side by side, sweeping the city occupied by the blue army with the momentum of Mount Tai, putting great pressure on Zhang Wen.After the paper deduction of the blue team's joining the army, according to the advance speed of the Red Army, they can last for half a month at most before being completely wiped out by the Red Army.

It was getting late, inside the large tent of the Chinese army, there were candles as thick as a child's arm, illuminating the inside of the big tent like daytime.All the generals had gone back to rest, Zhang Wen was frowning, staring at the sand table, hoping to find a chance to turn defeat into victory from the sand table.

Just as Zhang Wen's eyelids were twitching, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew into the big tent.

Zhang Wen looked back and found that the soldiers came in and said, "Jiang Gan, please see me!"

Zhang Wenwen and Jiang Gan belonged to Ran Min's confidant generals.Ran Min led the expedition to Zhongshan, leaving Jiang Gan to preside over the defense of Yecheng, which shows his status in Ran Min's heart. Zhang Wen did not neglect him, and went directly to greet Jiang Gan outside the tent: "Old Jiang, it's so late, don't rest yet. ,Is there a problem?"

Jiang Gandao: "General, after going back, I thought about it carefully and found that our blue army is not without a chance of winning!"

"Oh!" Zhang Wen's heart moved when he heard the words, and he said excitedly, "I hope to hear from Brother Jiang!"

"It's not a high opinion, it's just a discovery of a loophole in the Red Army!"

"The loophole, where is it?"

Zhang Wen pulled Jiang Gan to the front of the sand table and said, "Quickly point it out?"

Jiang Gan didn't look at the sand table, but said with a faint smile: "This loophole is actually the rule of the exercise. We can completely defeat the Red Army within this rule! Now, our army has lost the opportunity, and the Red Army has no panic at the beginning. , Gradually stabilized the position, General Dong took a step-by-step approach, all relying on each other, advancing across the board, adopting an upright conspiracy, no matter whether our army adopts layer-by-layer resistance or key defense, we will have no chance of winning !"

"That's right!" Zhang Wen said, "The difficulty lies in this. Our military strength is only [-]% of that of the Red Army. Moreover, most of the army is composed of county soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the elite troops of the Red Army."

"If this is a real war, our army may have no chance of winning, but in the exercise, there is a slight chance of winning!"

"how do I say this?"

"This is the rule of the exercise!" Jiang Gandao: "The red army mainly defends, while our army focuses on attacking. Our army has no defensive area, only Xiangshan City. Even if the entire blue army is concentrated here, we will inevitably fail. But in this exercise, the Red Army has to defend countless cities."

In this era, Zhang Wen has already understood Jiang Gan's intentions: "What Lao Jiang meant was that we don't have to pay attention to General Dong's offensive line at all, and we can fight as we want, while I just throw away all the occupied cities. Only keep Xiangshan, and all the other soldiers and horses will be thrown into the offensive battle, no matter how he fights, we will just beat the Red Army and force them to fight according to our intention?"

"The general Cheqi is wise!" Jiang Gan said, "So Zhang Cheqi also thought of this method?"

If Jiang Gan really knows how to be a man, he obviously came up with this plan, but he is not greedy for achievements, but gives Zhang Wen the achievements he has obtained.Not to mention a Zhang Wen with a big picture in mind, even a narrow-minded general.They also like such subordinates who are not greedy for achievements!
Zhang Wen decisively adopted Jiang Gan's strategy, and ordered at that time that the entire blue army should be killed.Except for the Xiangshan garrison, all of them were broken up into parts, with Tun and Qu as units, scattered attacks, and attacked targets, not only in cities, but also in villages, towns and rural areas.When encountering a city with a weak defense force by the Red Army, they can capture it by themselves. After occupying the city, they plunder the necessary military supplies, take away what can be taken away, and burn what cannot be taken away.

When the enemy's defense force is weak and the city cannot be eaten alone, you can contact the surrounding blue army units and cooperate with each other to complete the task.

It is not necessary to set fire during the exercise, but paint is used to represent the fire attack.

Just when the Red Army was advancing triumphantly and was about to take down the Blue Army's position in one fell swoop, it turned out that the Blue Army on the opposite side actually retreated at some point.

This retreat did not even take place in connection with the enemy battle.When Dong Run encountered this strange situation, he immediately became vigilant,

Dong Run had had enough of having no intelligence, and ordered the Red Army scouts and motorized cavalry units to all advance for reconnaissance.When the scouts advanced to within a hundred miles of the main force, they did not find the blue army. Even when they advanced to Xiao County, which was only more than [-] miles away from Xiangshan Mountain, they found that there was no blue army soldier guarding Xiao County.

After receiving this news, the commander-in-chief of the Red Army began to realize that something was wrong.

Sure enough, when the lights were on that day, Dong Run received the news that Juancheng County was attacked and fell.

Juancheng County is a small town in the south of Qingzhou, Dong Run did not leave many defenders and has no important military value.Dong Run was surprised that Juancheng County was lost, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, when it was midnight, Dong Run actually received a report from the scouts that the Blue Army scouts were found in the area south of Chenliuzha County.The scout battalion attempted to expel them, but lost dozens of men, and failed.

At this time, Dong Run realized something was wrong.

Immediately, the scouts who scouted Xiangshan reported that Xiangshan's blue army only had more than [-] people stationed there.The rest of the army was lost.

Dong Run panicked now, and he muttered in his heart: "Where did the Blue Army go?"

The blue army will not disappear out of thin air like Malaysia Airlines 370.They just show up where they shouldn't be.

Huai County, Hanoi County, is later known as Wuzhi County.Huai County is across the river from Zhengzhou.Just at sunset, just before the city gate was about to close, a caravan with about 400 people and nearly [-] vehicles appeared in front of the city gate.

The surname of Wei in Huai County is Shan Mingyi.The Shan family is a big family in Huai County.The ancestor is the famous Shan Tao.However, Shan Yi is not a direct branch, but a branch, and his grandfather is Shan Shihui, the grandson of Shan Tao.There is a big difference between the noble family and the family, just like Liu Kun, as the direct descendant of the Liu family in Zhongshan, he is one of the 24 friends of Jingu, and the official is Sikong.However, because Liu Principle of the same clan was born as a bastard, not only did he not have the opportunity to be an official, but instead became a lowly merchant.The same is true for Shan Yi, as a concubine son of the Shan family, he can only be born in the military and become a trivial county lieutenant.

Originally, Shanyi planned to inspect the caravan in detail, and then close the city gate to end the day's work.But when he saw the flag of this caravan read Du's Caravan, Shan Yi ordered to let it go directly.

There is no objection to Shanyi's words, after all, everyone in Huai County knows that Shanyi's children and in-laws are Du Mingli, the only one in Huai County that sells immortal drunkenness.

However, when the caravan entered the city gate, Shan Yi was a little surprised. As a family of sons and daughters, Shan Yi and Du Mingli had frequent contacts.But these three 400 people, in Shanyi's head, had no memory at all.

Just when Shan Yi was about to give the order to "stop", he suddenly saw a familiar figure, a man like Maitreya Buddha lying on a carriage full of sacks.This man was none other than Du Wu, one of Du Mingli's shopkeepers.
