C550 Doomsday for Gupta (7)

One year ago, Yan City was only a barren stretch of land close to the Ganges, located forty Li northeast of Galgona City. There were only a few villages there. But now, no matter its scale, or its vitality, it far surpassed the ancient city of Galgona that was not far away!

When the Qin State's forces entered the continent of India, Xie Fei did not adopt a cold-blooded strategy. It was the same as when he was facing Guwa and the islands in the Luzon, which was a completely different and gentle strategy. Right now, the Yan City was busy working on the construction. Lin Heng's port, which had been built to accommodate more than twenty large ships, was still working tirelessly at full capacity.

Of course, the vigor of the Yan City also caused the surrounding area to prosper. Following the entry of a large number of Qin State's people, the construction of various buildings, just relying on the Qin State's people was impossible to complete. Over 300,000 strong young Celestial Zhu Man workers, they used their own labour to exchange for beautiful Qin coins, to exchange for the urgently needed materials from the Merchant of the Qin Nation!

At this moment, at the mouth of the Ganges River, the shadows of countless sails could be seen. Looking at the Ganges River, there were countless masts, endless sails, and there was no end to their sight.

It had been a long time since such a scene had occurred since a thousand ships had entered the Ganges. If one were to say that there was such a thing, it would be during the Vikramaditya's personal campaign against the acanthopanax, when they gathered all the resources and power in the entire Empire, they would even be able to use Vikramaditya's yacht.

In this era, the docks in the Yan City were extremely large, and the unfinished docks could hold at least 100 big ships, but these docks could still not fit this huge fleet. Many ships stopped by the river, waiting for the docks to clear.

Tian Zhu, Pi Yu and the rest of the crew who lived on the dock were extremely excited to see such a large fleet of ships. One had to know that every one of them lived on the docks with a group of people waiting for them to eat. According to the past, they could rely on bullying the commoners and forcibly collect the protection fees from the merchants to survive, but since the Yan City had an army from the Qin Army, they could only report it to the Qin Army. If they were to offend the citizens of the Qin State, they would be courting death, but if they were to bully the citizens of the, they would be asking for death.

They were flattering the Qin State people at the pier as they fought for the right to unload the goods. At the same time, they wanted to get a good price for the goods and also called for more people. The entire pier was in chaos.

When this world was never fair, on the entire dock, the Tian Zhu foremen dressed as Qin, who had bought the Han Chinese clothing from the Qin State Shops and dressed as Qin, were busy directing the porters to unload the goods.

At this moment, a group of scholars wearing silk monastic clothing came down from the plank of the ship, which was the first to approach the docks. He looked at the flying Great Qin Dragon Flag at the wharf, and the Guards who were standing like statues and brimming with killing intent, he mumbled to himself, "This place is also the territory of the Great Qin, and it's the best time for us to display our ambitions here!"

The person in the lead was handsome, with long sleeves that fluttered in the wind. His name was Wang Xizhi, and he was the most famous calligrapher in Chinese history. He had a reputation in the East Jin Dynasty. In the history of the East Jin Dynasty, although it was peaceful on one side and weak on the other, it achieved a lot in culture and produced a lot of people worthy of praise. The famous Scholar Wang Xizhi was one of them.

Xie Fei had pacified the Eastern Jin and unified the world. However, the thing that made him most troubled was the many famous people whose names were recorded in the annals of history. There was no doubt about the Scholar's talent, but he was not an official. Furthermore, he was a very pedantic person, obsessed with the decaying Sima's disease. With regards to such internal factors that caused instability, Xie Fei had no choice but to send an edict asking Wang Xizhi and the others, including the Lang Xie Wang, Ying Chuan, Yang Chuan, Yan Liang, and the others, to travel to India.

Behind Wang Xizhi, the one who stood shoulder to shoulder with him was Yu Liang. Whether it was Wang Xizhi or Yu Liang, who was forced to come to India, both of them felt displeased in their hearts. But there was nothing they could do, Xie Fei was strong and had some prejudice towards his family, so they could not do anything about it. He could only endure.

Yu Liang smiled, "Young Brother Yi, since you've come, you should be at ease. It's not like there's no chance to return to your home. In any case, with the strength of my generation, there's a chance!"

Yu Liang turned around and said to the disciples of the famous sects in the various families behind him, "Everyone stay alert, we are far from our homeland. Since we are able to create a world in the Jiangdong, we can also do something here.

The people at the bow of the ship all laughed and agreed. Only Wang Xizhi, after a short period of disappointment, spoke in a more high-spirited manner than Yu Liang, "Your Majesty ordered us to enlighten the ignorant people of this barbarian region. We should not weaken Your Majesty's intentions!"

As the horn sounded, the huge fleet finally landed on the shore. Those brash and lazy brats ordered the small workers to quickly unload the goods, causing a huge commotion at the dock. The huge amount of all kinds of goods were to be unloaded, in addition to the cannons, crossbow arrows, various armors, knives, and an even larger amount of food. Rice, wheat, flour, oil, pickles, silk, cotton, pots and pans, porcelain.

As all sorts of supplies entered the Yan City, all the goods that were unloaded from the ship were quickly piled up in Yan City's warehouse at the pier. They had no choice but to use the tents to store the goods. According to conservative estimates, these were enough for half a million people to eat for a month.

Such a large-scale strategic item would definitely require a lot of money. It would be very difficult for any country to gather such a large amount of resources.

Xie Fei stood on the sentry tower of the Yan City's temporary palace. Using his binoculars, he was able to clearly see the scene at the dock.

Yuan Qiao, chief of staff for the Great Qin said respectfully: "Your Majesty, about 80% of this material was contributed by the Jiangnan Merchant Union, the Young's Merchant Union, the Northern Merchant Union, and the Ba Shu Merchant Union. About half of it was donated by the citizens of the various County countries upon hearing that the Gupta Empire had offended His Majesty.

Xie Fei put down the binoculars in his hands, and was extremely excited in his heart: "Since they submitted the peach, then we will report this to Li Jun, and pass on our orders to Jiangnan Merchant Union, Young's Merchant Union, North Merchant Union, and Ba Shu Merchant Union, giving them a" Under the heavens "plaque, and also reduce the overseas taxes of the four families by 20%. In addition, we must return all the materials that the citizens have collected and donated! "

"This official obeys the decree!" Yuan Qiao opened his mouth wanting to speak, but in the end he did not.

"Is it my fault for being so biased?"

"This official, this subject does not dare!"

Xie Fei said as he looked at them deeply, "The people of our Great Qin are the most lovable people. They work hard, and would rather be short of food than clothing, in order to support this country. Even though we did our best, we were unable to allow our citizens under the heavens to live a wealthy life. Take Jiangnan Merchant Union as an example, the previous generation of the Jiangnan Merchant Union is actually one of the great clans of Jiangnan, they held at least ninety percent of the wealth of the Jin State before they were reorganized. Forget about paying a mere three hundred thousand stone worth of food as a whole, just taking any one of the four great clans of Jiangnan as an example is more than enough for them to take on their own. Although the Four Great Merchant Union has paid eighty percent of the transport weight, it is still nothing compared to the wealth of the Four Great Merchant Union as a whole. However, the commoners will probably not have much food in the next year! "

"His Majesty was a Sacred Emperor throughout the ages. He governed the world benevolently. He established a new territory that was comparable to the First Emperor's martial arts. He was nurtured by the people and lived in peace. He was comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!" Yuan Qiao said.

Xie Fei shook his head: "Although I know that you are flattering us, but we will take it!"

"Ha ha!"

Yuan Qiao asked: "Your majesty, what about the people who are enlisted in the armies of the various provinces and counties?"

Xie Fei said: "Right now, the Gupta Empire is like a day in the west mountain, they can't live on in peace. At the moment, we do not need our citizens to come and fight for our lives!"

Yuan Qiao laughed, "Your Majesty is right. If Vikramaditya knew that my Great Qin could gather such a large amount of resources without even paying the State treasury a single time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep!"

Xie Fei's heart was moved, he subconsciously looked at the big ships docked at the port. Hehe, pass on my word, tell those empty ships that have been unloaded to not rush back yet, wait for all the cargo to be unloaded, and then have them form a formation to take a trip around the middle and upper reaches of the Ganges, it would be best if they can get to the vicinity of Huadian City. We will make it difficult for Vikramaditya to sleep! "

Another day passed. Gupta Army, who had her strategy improved, played around like a cat playing with a mouse. Although the casualties were not great, the morale was greatly reduced.

Meng Tianhu and Huan Wen, who were on the frontline of the Rajmer front, could not think of a suitable solution.

The next morning, Huan Wen, who had stayed up all night, looked at Meng Tianhu, whose eyes were also completely red, and laughed: General Meng, the staff officers have thought of a way to deal with this!

After Meng Tianhu heard this, he stepped forward and pulled Huan Wen back: "What method is this, hurry and come out!"

Huan Wen said: "It's actually very simple. The first is to trap the horses within a two hundred meter radius of our formation, with the bamboo spears at the side and the horses blocking our way. As long as the Gupta's cavalry attacks, the horses blocking our path will slow down the speed of the Gupta Army's attacks!"

"Second, form a team of light cavalry, using feint to coordinate their defense, and use it to give chase on a small area when the enemy is feinting and retreating."

"Third, use the Eight-bull Crossbow and the small stone picker to hide in the middle of the team, and at the right time, rush out to disrupt the rhythm of Gupta Army's attack. It would be best to catch the enemy off guard while retreating, but in case something happens, it would be better to prepare the Heaven Bombing grenade s and the incendiary bombs!"
