Chapter 353

Two months passed in a flash. The time has come to April of the 13th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. Thousands of mu of wheat in Nanyang will be harvested in the next month. Looking around, it is a green scene.

Everyone knows that a bumper harvest is bound to be achieved this year. Indeed, the Ministry of agriculture has predicted that it is likely to produce one stone and a half per mu, tens of millions of mu, that is, more than 10 million stone grains.

This made the Chuang Wang in the northwest almost stare out of his eyes.

We can't control what we have to look to Shu or go north to seize the great cause. We are determined to come to Nanyang to grab food regardless of how civil servants persuade us.

However, since Liu Zongmin failed to return from the trail last time, the king decided to personally lead 300000 troops out of Tongguan and go south to Ruzhou to fight with the Chinese army.

At this time, Luo Rucai also happened to attack the city and pull out the stronghold with the disabled and defeated generals in Henan mansion. To attack Luoyang, the two sides almost hit it off, so they decided to alliance again, take Luoyang first and go to Nanyang.

Not only Chuang Wang's eyes are greedy for Nanyang's wheat, businessmen in Jiangnan are also red eyed, just like wolves smelling bloody smell, frantically transporting all kinds of materials to Nanyang.

Last year, they made a lot of money in the autumn harvest in Xiangyang. If they still follow last year's market, the commodities needed by people everywhere in Nanyang will definitely be doubled by then.

Although the Hanjiang River waterway is blocked, runing house has been occupied by the Chinese army, and it will only be closer by land. It is just that the cost is higher, but this is not a problem at all. It is just an excuse to raise the price.

The commercial banks and banks in the state of Daqin are also making preparations. When the people harvest grain, the commercial banks must pay treasure bills to purchase, so they printed a full 20 million liang of treasure bills and shipped them to the branches.

More than 5 million taels of silver seized from runing's house was also cast into a treasure for the first time. While Kaifeng's house attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold, Hong Ying was also continuously transporting gold and silver to Xiangyang.

In the face of the Chinese Army's offensive, Niu Er couldn't stop it at all. Fortunately, after more than a month's siege, he had captured Xuzhou. Therefore, when Hong Ying led the army into the vicinity of Kaifeng mansion, she hurriedly packed up and retreated to Xuzhou.

As Xuzhou was broken, the North-South transportation artery of the Ming Dynasty and the Beijing Hangzhou canal were finally cut off. Chongzhen was in a hurry and immediately ordered Shandong General soldier Liu Zeqing to go south to recover Xuzhou.

But Liu Zeqing pretended to be ill. Helpless, he had to let Hong Chengchou advance eastward, recover Xuzhou first and open the canal. As for Shanxi, he couldn't manage it.

The situation in the North was surging. Qin Huan, who urged shipbuilding in Huguang, could not sit still, and the eight kings in Changsha could not sit still.

At the moment, in the hall of the Changsha palace, the eight kings in Python robes and jade belts sat at the top, and the four adopted sons came from all over the country.

The eighth king claimed to be the queen in Changsha's opening house, and all the affairs of government affairs were handed over to sun hope. Li Dingguo was in Yuezhou, AI nengqi was in Changde, and Liu Wenxiu went south and successively captured Hengyang house and Chenzhou. He was planning to attack Yongzhou house and Baoqing house in the West.

"Adoptive father, I don't just call the child urgently. What's the matter?" Liu Wenxiu couldn't wait to ask. After all, the army can't be handsome all day. If it weren't for his adoptive father's urgency, he really didn't want to come.

"Third, now that boy is building a warship in Hankou and confronting Lu Xiangsheng across the river. Your eldest brother and fourth brother think they should take advantage of this opportunity to cross the river north to attack Jingzhou mansion, and then sneak north to attack Xiangyang to calculate the general ledger with the boy, but your second brother thinks they should go east to find Zuo Liangyu to settle accounts and attack Jiangxi. What do you think?"

Zhang Xianzhong poured a mouthful of wine and said slowly. He was also hesitant. He wanted to break Qin Huan's body to pieces in the north and to break Zuo Liangyu to pieces in the East, but he really had a headache.

Liu Wenxiu frowned, glanced at his second brother, and then looked at his eldest brother. He was silent for a while, hugged his fist and said, "adoptive father, I think the time is not ripe to go north or east at this time. The boy and Lu Xiangsheng are just confrontation in Wuchang and haven't started fighting yet. Once we rush across the river and go north, I'm afraid the boy won't fight, Zuo Liangyu has been making preparations in Jiangxi for two or three months, and his strength has recovered as before. Therefore, he believes that at this time, he should first attack Yongzhou mansion and Baoqing mansion, and then plot for Guangdong and Guangxi. "

"Third, what nonsense are you talking about? What is there to fight in the wild land of Guangdong and Guangxi? At this time, with our strength, it is natural to go north to Huguang and then compete with the Central Plains. "

"Yes, third brother, I think you are confused in the mountains in the south. There are many chieftains in Guangdong and Guangdong. They are not only poor, but also have strong folk customs. How can you compare with Huguang Central Plains? That is, the second brother is better than you said when he hits Jiangxi into the south of the Yangtze River. "

Sun expected to jump out with Alan chiton. Even the eighth King frowned. Obviously, he didn't consider playing in Guangdong and Guangdong in the past.

Li Dingguo was silent. He also did not agree to fight Guangdong and Guangxi. Guangdong and Guangxi have few people, poor land and far from the Central Plains. It is feasible to settle in a corner, but it is not enough to win the world.

"Then attack all the way. I'll go south to fight Guangdong and Guangxi, the eldest brother will go north to fight Huguang, and the second brother will go east to fight Jiangxi." Liu Wenxiu had to say.

"Fart, old three, I see your wings are hard now." Sun expected to be furious immediately. He didn't know that he was reluctant to separate the soldiers and horses.

"Brother, what do you mean? Am I wrong? With our current strength, it's not impossible to attack three ways. "

Liu Wenxiu's face also changed. It was obvious that now he was holding 150000 troops and was full of confidence when he spoke in front of sun hope.

"Well, stop arguing." Seeing that the fourth was ready to jump out, Zhang Xianzhong quickly waved his hand, and then said, "my father decided to go north to play Huguang." When it comes to the end, his face is a little distorted.

Obviously, compared with Zuo Liangyu, he hated Qin Huan more. There was no way. When he thought that one of his little leaders was more famous than him, Zhang Xianzhong's evil fire couldn't stop coming out.

"The adoptive father is wise."

Sun Wang and AI nengqi were overjoyed.

"Yes, adoptive father."

Li Dingguo sighed, while Liu Wenxiu was a little oppressed, but the two had to honestly hug each other and answer.

"Second, how many ships have you collected in Yuezhou in recent months?"

"Hui's adoptive father, there are more than 200 ships, large and small, which can carry 30000 or 40000 people at a time." Li Dingguo said helplessly.

"Well, the adoptive father will go out in person this time. Third, you take out 100000 troops and go north, and then continue to attack Yongzhou house and Baoqing house. Second, the adoptive father also knows that you don't want to fight with that boy, and the adoptive father won't force you. This time you will stay in Changsha, and the boss and fourth will go out with me."

Zhang Xianzhong stood up and made arrangements. His ambition has not been completely eroded by his drunkenness and dreams in recent months.

"Yes, adoptive father."

Li Dingguo was relieved and didn't have any ideas, but Liu Wenxiu was reluctant. After all, two-thirds of the 150000 troops were pulled out at once, and it wouldn't be happy to put them on anyone's head.

Sun expected the same frown. He didn't expect that his adoptive father would come out in person this time, which he never expected.

The reason why he insisted on going north was to take the opportunity to weaken the troops in the hands of the second and third.

Because Zuo Liangyu might not be able to fight against his second son, and Qin Huan's adoptive father would never let his second son be the commander.
