The Prince of Song Dynasty through the special forces

Because of Zhang Jun's tight seal on the information, even the undercover agents of the Da Song Die Department could not obtain the information there.Therefore, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't get the news from the north about Wang Zhichong's commanding fleet.

However, Mr. Zhang Jun, who came to the front line personally and led the famous song general Liu Guangshi to lead an army of tens of thousands to surround his fleet and preside over the overall situation, has probably gotten the news and started to gather troops to seal off all roads. .

With this guy's loyalty to Emperor Zhao Gou, he would naturally mobilize his army as soon as possible, and put pressure on Zhang Jun to wipe out the Shimen rebels.

However, thinking of the army Zhang Jun had in his hands, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was not worried, but a little pity.Those are some of the most elite soldiers, including the Northwest Army and the most powerful army under Zhao Gou. They are all excellent fighters. It would be great if they can be used by him.

Of course, he also knew that this was just an extravagant wish. Xinwang Zhao Zhen crumpled the note into a ball. He knew that building his own army in Shimen could only be done step by step, just like a meal that could only be eaten in one bite, so there was no need to rush.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 256

But the news of Shi Zhongtai's dispatch of troops did not surprise him. The battle with the bandit army was not without purpose.At this moment, in the forest from the bank of Fengshui River to Shimen City, Ji Yuntian and his troops have already blocked this area.

As for Shi Zhongtai's fate, Xinwang Zhao Zhen didn't need to spend too much effort thinking about it.There are only a few thousand troops, and there may be some other troops, but when facing an army of tens of thousands of bandits, the result can be imagined.

Putting this matter aside, he asked: "What's going on next?" This time Cui Hu shook his head and replied: "I don't know, my lord is thousand years old!"

When he passed the courtyard, he naturally saw a few people who were arguing, but out of a unique politeness and character, he didn't care much about these things that had nothing to do with him.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen nodded and didn't say much.The two passed through the dark corridor and entered the hall.Of course, compared to when Xin Wang Zhao Zhen went crazy here a few days ago, it has been completely renovated, and even the long table has been replaced.At this time, the voices of the dispute in the courtyard outside became clear and smelt.

However, the first thing Xinwang Zhao Zhen saw was Luo Yueer who was sitting alone at the other end of the long table in the hall, with almost her whole body lying on the table.Luo Yueer was wearing a pair of glasses made of glass, which was still very strange in this era, and she was writing and drawing with a pair of small arms on a large pile of white paper, as if she was copying something.

As for the quarrels coming from outside the courtyard, she turned a deaf ear to them.

Of course, after hearing the voice behind her, Luo Yueer suddenly turned her head around, and when she saw Zhao Zhen, the King of Letters, a smile bloomed on her pretty face, and she raised her head and shouted crisply: "The King of Letters, Zhao Zhen !"

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen shook his head, walked over and took off the glasses on the girl's slender nose, and asked angrily, "What are you doing with your appearance?"

"Let's settle the score." Luo Yue'er raised her snow-white and pointed chin, and replied as a matter of course.

Xinwang Zhao Zhen suddenly nodded.Since taking over Shimen City, all the private property of Mo Commander in the city and all the government property of Shimen have been taken as spoils of war, and of course he, the manager, has taken it for granted.In addition to the rewards and rewards distributed to the soldiers after the war, a large amount of money was actually left behind.

However, the management of this wealth left by Commander Mo was once quite chaotic. On the one hand, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen gave Ji Qianqian, who has basically become his deputy, the absolute right to dispose of this wealth, but later promised Luo Yue'er can use this wealth to complete the re-planning of the commercial network and local construction in the Shimen area.

So soon, he found that his finances had become a "mess". In the end, Luo Yue'er found Ji Qianqian in person, and suggested that one person be in charge of management, and the other be in charge of recording and reviewing the mutual cooperation method before disposing of this property. The management system has stabilized.

After a brief glance, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen raised his head and looked outside again. At this moment, the sound of arguments was constantly coming from outside, and it had been going on for quite a long time.

Among them, Miao Yufeng was the loudest, Shan Hongfei was on the sidelines to help out, the master craftsman Wang Ting occasionally interjected, and Ji Qianqian spoke the least.On the contrary, No. [-], who persuaded the fight, said that his voice was almost hoarse, but it seemed that no one could convince anyone.

"What are they arguing about?" he asked.Hearing the letter king Zhao Zhen's question, Luo Yue'er immediately shook her head happily, and imitated Ji Qianqian's tone and said in a drawn-out voice: "You only know that Chai Mi is expensive when you are in charge, and the letter king is thousand years old—!"

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and had vaguely guessed the core of the dispute outside.

The dispute in the courtyard has been going on for a long time. Ji Qianqian frowned and looked at the few people in front of her. Although Ji Qianqian maintained a basic manner on the surface, in fact she was almost bored to death. .

Xin Wang Qiansui wants to build an army of his own, which of course she supports.He also knew that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had given Miao Yufeng, Hua Zhonglong, Cui Hu, and Shan Hongfei a mission to select some people from among the civilians in Shimen City and prepare to set up the future Shimen Army. .Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 256

But the problem is not here.There are close to 5 people in Shimen City, and several 10 people in the surrounding areas outside the city. Now that the autumn harvest has not arrived, in fact, the food stored in the city is tight enough to last until next month.In other words, the rations of these extra fighters cannot even be guaranteed, and they must rely on trade.

And Sichuan's food was transferred to the vicinity of Hedong Road and Kaifeng, supporting hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the two fronts.Even if we ask Sichuan for secret support now, we can only wait for the autumn harvest, and the distant water cannot solve the near thirst.It can only be purchased from those grain merchants through money.

On the other hand, Shimen may face a large number of wars in the future. During the war, the soldiers' ration share is different from usual, and it will almost double.Not to mention that there are still a large number of poor people. Working men and women need a lot of food.

Adding these food gaps together, it is quite serious.

Not to mention that the bandit army in the forest also needed food, which was provided by Commander Mo before, but Commander Mo didn't care how many people starved to death in his territory, they couldn't do it.

What's more, if the entire Shimen is to be further controlled, the food shortage will become even more unbelievable.Ji Qianqian now knows that this year, the crops in the whole south have generally failed.

The crop failure was partly due to the climate, and partly due to the invasion of the Jin army.

Therefore, they have to face another problem in order to purchase food. This is because of well-known reasons. The war in the south has just passed, and the war in the north is about to break out. The sky in the Song Dynasty is now cloudy.

The collateral consequences of war "chaos" are that grain becomes more stable than precious metals as an equivalent. In other words, the price of grain will rise, and I am afraid it is not at 01:30.

Especially after the plundering by the Jin soldiers, the people were in dire straits, the government was corrupt, and there were numerous levies and miscellaneous taxes. This year, there were so many rebellions and uprisings, which caused the price of food to skyrocket.The merchants here will not be ignorant of the current situation, and these profiteers will not slow down their hands and feet a little because of pity, they will only take the opportunity to drive up prices.

Therefore, the prospect of purchasing food is not bleak.

For this matter, Ji Qianqian was already having a headache, and she still couldn't think of a good solution for a while.She had considered sending troops to plunder other nearby official rations, but on military issues, as his deputy, he could only suggest.If Xinwang Zhao Zhen vetoes this proposal, then he can only consider the problem from the resources he owns.

Besides, she knew that Zhang Jun's army was about to kill, and the enemy's army was right in front of her eyes, so she might not be able to move her troops away for a while.

For this matter, in fact, even Luo Yue'er, who always went her own way, obediently postponed her plan to try her hand at Shimen.

But at this time, Miao Yufeng came to her and asked her to arrange the recruitment of the private army immediately.But conscription first needs to spend money, especially in this season, it may cost double the money. Secondly, the recruited soldiers also need rations. If they have to train, the ration gap will be even bigger.

Ji Qianqian could hardly imagine the consequences.

She had no choice but to speak out about her predicament and convince the other party.And it was with great difficulty that she persuaded the other party to let the female leader put aside the matter of recruiting private troops, at least wait until the people in the territory settled down and harvested the autumn grain.But at this time, the master craftsman Wang Teng also came, asking for money without mentioning anything else.

It turned out that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen wanted him to build a workshop as soon as possible, but building a workshop requires a lot of manpower and material resources, no matter whether it is to make weapons or armor.Not to mention that this area does not produce iron, even recruiting blacksmiths and apprentices requires a lot of money.

As a general who was born in the heyday of the Song Dynasty, Wang Ting never had to think about these extraneous things, so of course the first thought he had when he lacked these things was—yes!

There was a wave of unrest here, and Shan Hongfei came out of the way again. Of course, he also wanted money.But he didn't come for the conscription, but for the soldiers' war damage funds.

As we all know, there will be losses in war.At this moment, the fighters under the leaders of the various sects in Shimen City can be said to be attached to the big tree of King Xin Zhao Zhen, and they are called soldiers of the army in name, but in fact they can be said to be a different kind of private soldiers. .

Without normal sources of income such as smuggling, escorting, hiring, killing, and revenge for others, the task of depleting and replenishing their equipment and salaries naturally fell to the leader of Xinwang Zhao Zhen.In addition, Xin Wang and Zhao Zhen should pay this money to support them, but everyone is on the same boat now, and Shan Hongfei also understands that their organization is short of money, so he didn't mention any more expenses.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 256

However, the Jianghu swordsman and the gang disciples were about to start a series of battles one after another, replenishing equipment, and distributing desperate money before the battle, but it seemed urgent, and he couldn't help it.But to supplement the wear and tear of armor, arrows and weapons, as well as the pre-war wages of the soldiers, of course, one word must be mentioned first, money.

Ji Qianqian's head was like a bucket all of a sudden, the little money in her hand was not enough.But she hadn't thought of a proper solution here, and a few people over there quarreled because of a few words that didn't agree.

For a while, your business needs to be put aside, and my business is more important. Shouting words like this are flying all over the sky. Ji Qianqian can barely persuade the fight at the beginning, but she can't help joining the battle in a fit of anger later on. group.In the end, it turned out that No. [-] who was passing by ran over in a panic to persuade the fight.

Only Ma Yueying, who came here with the soldier captain of the Xinwang Army Special Forces, felt that he had nothing to do with himself, so he just watched these people fighting with each other from a distance, thinking that these people were really boring.

The dispute between several people is now at its most intense moment.

At this time, Miao Yufeng had just listened to Wang Ting's cynicism.As a faction of the Yunwang Party, Wang Ting has experienced many turmoil in the officialdom, and of course his verbal skills are quite good, and he has won the essence of pungent satire, sweet tongue and sword.Facing this group of people from the rivers and lakes, his eloquence has the upper hand.Therefore, the female leader was so angry that her teeth were itchy and wanted to refute.

But just as she was about to speak, her complexion changed, but she stopped.

"The King of Faith is thousand years old."

The others were taken aback for a moment, and they all turned around and said, "Xin Wang is a thousand years old!"

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen looked at these people with a look of surprise, snorted and said, "It's quite lively?"

Everyone bowed their heads, only Wang Tie, who was not in this small political system, looked indifferent.

However, the old man thought for a while, then lowered his head and said respectfully: "Xin Wang Qiansui, according to what you said, we should have a common goal and enemy at this moment, so the old man is naturally not here to make trouble for you. But everyone knows , war is the consumption of financial resources, and now it seems that your situation is not optimistic——!"

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't say a word after hearing this, of course he understood this.Commander Mo's wealth seems to be huge, but it is only for an ordinary person, and it is actually not so useful when it is actually dispersed in the construction and army of the entire region.

For example, building a city wall costs a thousand dollars a day.

In fact, in order for the craftsmen to have the confidence to work for him, Ji Qianqian had to pay double the price.This sounds unbelievable, because in fact, in this era, a real official can use the labor force of the people for free.Of course, you have to give people a certain amount of food rations.

However, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen is very aware of the potential undercurrents in the territory. Before the battle with the government army, I am afraid that every commoner here will doubt how long the ruler with a dishonorable reputation can stay here.

In order to appease the hearts of the people, he had to adopt this emergency method to get through the difficult initial period.Of course, Shan Hongfei and Hua Zhonglong also suggested that he use forced recruitment to grab labor, but this proposal aroused unanimous opposition from Miao Yufeng and Ji Qianqian.

What's more, Luo Yue'er, who is Shimen's acting 'finance minister', also disagrees with this plan, but he is not out of morality but simple economic considerations. In the long run, self-destruction of reputation is not good for the territory, especially Territorial commercial and agricultural development.

And the most important thing is that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen will never agree to the policy of disturbing the people.But now, the problem can't just be a problem, there must be a solution.

The silver mine in Shimen comes from the tens of millions of years of evolution in the mountains and forests, but in fact there is very little silver, but it is enough to benefit Shimen endlessly.

However, in fact, there is not much silver mine storage here, and soon, the silver mine here will be exhausted.Shimen's backcountry is not in vain.Moreover, even if you have silver, you may not be able to buy much grain. In the hands of those "profiteering" merchants, your silver is not a monopoly product, but grain is more precious than silver.The most important thing is that you are a traitor, and those profiteers will charge you ten times the price in the name of their own risk.

However, in Fengyang, Fengzhou, there is a huge amount of grain reserves, enough for their troops and laborers to eat.

"Ji Qianqian, please introduce the situation in Fengyang, Fengzhou." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said.

Ji Qianqian's dark eyes lightened slightly, believing that Wang Qiansui is going to attack the granary in Fengyang, Fengzhou?She immediately said: "Xin Wang Qiansui, Fengzhou Fengyang has always been one of the most important sources of income in this area. , was not greatly affected by the Yingxuan uprising. Now, it is still an important grain storage base for grain sent to the south of the Yangtze River."

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and said: "So, this is asking me to touch Zhao Gou's food, Ji Qianqian."

The girl also smiled and said, "Isn't it already moved, Xinwang Qiansui."

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen turned his head and saw Miao Yufeng's gaze also looked at this side.He keenly noticed that although the female leader still maintained the necessary reserve on her face, there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Seeing that Hua Zhonglong and Shan Hongfei, who were born together with her, were both appointed, Miao Yufeng didn't want her people to get no last benefit from this group, and even be betrayed in the end.

Although this young King Xin seemed quite friendly, she had dealt with those big and small gentry, wealthy families, officials, and thieves, and she maintained the necessary contempt and suspicion for these guys in her heart.Even if it's a little bit, he knows how despicable these people are when they turn their faces.

Miao Yufeng begged in a slightly hoarse voice: "Xinwang Qiansui, please let me attack the Fengyang granary in Fengzhou. The granary there is not in the city, but in the outskirts of the countryside. I know the situation there. Just over 1000 soldiers are stationed."

She put her hands on her chest and said, "It's more than enough for me and my people to occupy this place."

But Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said: "But the granary outside Fengyang of Fengzhou is too close to Fengyang City of Fengzhou, and the officers and soldiers are probably staring at it. Even if we attack, we won't be able to loot much in a short time."

The female leader was silent. "Can't we think of a way from this aspect? The bandit army can't use it?" Ji Qianqian asked, "I still can't trust them?"
