Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 267 Arrive in Guangzhou
Li Buqi flew out of the Xuande Gate, mounted his horse, and was surrounded by a group of guards, galloping straight out of Bianliang Nanxun Gate. Instead of taking a boat, he galloped directly along the post road, running more than 100 miles a day.

On the same day, Bianliang not only rumored that Li Buqi shaved short hair, but also Fu'an Bank began to sell 60 guan of registered national bonds in Bianliang, as long as copper coins, gold, silver and cloth.There are so many rich people in Bianliang, and the 60 yuan was swallowed up by several nobles, Daxiangguo Temple and Chamber of Commerce in less than one morning.Although the annual interest rate of national bonds is only [-]%, Li Buqi promised that when the land and trophies were sold on Guangnan Road, buyers who subscribed for national bonds would have the right of first refusal and a [-]% discount.

Who doesn't know that Li Buqi was able to bring back tens of thousands of horses and a batch of gold and silver in the battle against the Liao Kingdom.Especially those nobles, who have long heard Li Buqi say that Guangnan will be a cornucopia, and with Li Buqi's temperament, he must find bad luck for cochin, and he may not be able to capture many.Just to occupy a position, these people have to rush to hand in tens of thousands of guan.

In the next few days, Fu'an Bank branches in Jingzhaofu, Xijing, Damingfu, Nanjing, Jinling, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou began to sell treasury bonds.The general principle is that the sale of national bonds in the Yellow River Basin only requires silver coins and silk; in the Yangtze River Basin and south of it, a part of copper coins and a part of grain are required; the further south you go, the higher the proportion of grain.

Li Buqi was on the road, and the post office of the police department passed him the news of Guangnan and other places at any time, letting him know that within ten days, the first installment of the 200 million yuan national debt was all sold out, and People who haven't bought it are asking when it will be released next time.It seems that it should not be a problem to raise 1000 million yuan in this way. This is definitely a huge capital monster!
With this capital operation, Song people will taste the sweetness of capital operation. I wonder if Da Song will soon enter capitalism.

Li Buqi really doesn’t like capitalism at all, but without the operation of capital, this society cannot develop, and Li Buqi’s longing for a life with lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs cannot be realized.Since Comrade Marxism-Leninism determined that the development of human society will go through the stage of capitalism, let it happen.Isn't there such a saying: if you can't turn the tide, you will add fuel to the flames.What Li Buqi has to do now is to add fuel to the flames.

Li Buqi caught up with Di Qing, who had set off on the waterway first, on the bank of the Yangtze River, and unceremoniously checked the health conditions of the entire army during the few days they traveled together.The four thousand Zhenwu Army is the best in implementing the "Military Health Regulations". After all, it is the army brought out by Li Buqi. Under the strict control, it is still better than before, at least I know not to drink unboiled water after being repeatedly frightened.The cavalry from the vassal department are the worst in implementing health regulations, but these people are used to being wild, and there is nothing they can do about it, so take your time.

Li Buqi also urged the entire army to cut their hair, and all the officers and soldiers of the Zhenwu Army immediately followed suit. Since Daguan Li said that cutting hair can save one's life, then cutting hair must be right.The forbidden army in Shaanxi still has little recognition for Li Buqi, but in the hot and humid climate in the south, the hair that has not had time to wash for a long time is sticky and sticky on the top of the head. Looking at the soldiers who have cut their hair, they are refreshing and gradually cut their hair .

So this army with short hair was looked at by everyone wherever it passed.

Di Qing also opened his eyes. He saw that the Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou Cotton Cloth Associations and Maritime Associations had already prepared food fodder and various medicines, bamboo hats, and quilts for the humid southern climate on the ships docked by the river. The march was not delayed at all.This made Di Qing sigh that the management of these merchants was more efficient than the officials in the army.

Li Buqi laughed and said, "I'm not as good at fighting as Vice-President Di, but few people can match the logistical skills. Therefore, all the battles are left to the Vice-President. I just hope that the Vice-President will fight steadily and pay attention to the first task." It is to prevent the troops from being dragged down by the weather in Guangnan, and leave the rest to me."

Although Di Qing had a higher official position than Li Buqi, Li Buqi was a civil official. According to the tradition of the Song Dynasty, although Li Buqi's official position was not as high as Di Qing's, he had to consider Li Buqi's words.So he also said: "I also intend to do the same. The northerners are not familiar with the water, soil and climate in Guangnan. If they chase after the Nong bandits, they will definitely wear them down. The Guangnan Army reported that the Nong army had more than 2 people. It is not easy to raise food in a barren place, and it is not easy to stay in one place for a long time, let alone a long-term battle. I only block the surroundings, but I don’t fight easily. I just prevent them from fleeing into Jingxiang. After a long time, the thief will be in a dilemma. Go back to Yongzhou, but now that Yongzhou is occupied by Jiaozhi, it is hard to say what the Nong thieves will do. It is the worst plan. The Nong thieves surrender to Jiaozhi and refuse to defend Yongzhou. It is not difficult to fight a Yongzhou. It can be considered I just don’t know how many troops Jiaozhi will send.”

After Di Qing's analysis, Li Buqi was relieved.Although it is said that the soldiers under Nong Zhigao are quite capable of fighting, in terms of organization and equipment, they are still inferior to the Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone the experienced Forbidden Army transferred from Shaanxi. As long as Di Qing's troops are not dragged down, What's more, it is only a matter of time before Nong Zhigao's army defeats Nong Zhigao and the Jiaozhi people.

As for the pressure of Jiaozhi, Li Buqi had long planned to help Nong Zhigao share some of it. He gave Di Qing a confession: "Give me a year, and I promise that Jiaozhi can send no more than [-] troops to Yongzhou."

Di Qing knew that Li Buqi was reliable, and having Li Buqi's promise boosted his confidence, so he immediately expressed his gratitude to Li Buqi.But Li Buqi said: "There are two things that I need Di Fushu to help me with."

Di Qing hurriedly said: "The envoy just speak."

Li Buqi said: "The first step is to fight with Jiaozhi. Guangnan will build a navy. Although it is a navy, it must also practice land combat. Now I don't have any officers in hand, so I have to ask the deputy to come Draw some officers and veterans from the army to help with training."

Di Qing said: "That's okay. The Zhenwu Army is supposed to be used for military training, but it's just a matter of recruiting some people from it to assist in the training."

"Secondly, the subordinates should not kill prisoners indiscriminately. Send all the prisoners to me, I will be useful."

This Di Qing naturally readily agreed.

At this time, news came that the government in Liangzhe, Fujian Road, and Shuzhong had received a strict order from the central government, and the work of recruiting militia and people to go to Guangdong and Guangxi to reclaim wasteland had begun.The Fujian Police Station reported that the government posted a bulletin promising that each person would be allocated [-] mu of land after three years of reclamation in Guangnan, and that Guangnan adopted a new tax system without poll tax.These conditions are very attractive, coupled with the news that Fujian Maritime Company promoted Li Buqi as the transshipment appeasement envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi, it made the people feel that this promise is reliable, and many people have already signed up.

After resting by water for three days, Li Buqi changed horses again and went straight to Guangzhou at a faster speed.When he arrived in Guangzhou half a month later, he saw the devastation outside the city, but the Jiaozhi people surrounded Guangzhou city for [-] days, and had already been ransacked by Nong Zhigao. There was nowhere to grab food, so he had to return to Qinzhou more than ten days ago. And Guangxi, but before leaving, it wreaked havoc around the surrounding area.

Quan Guangdong transfer envoy Xiao Gu and Quan Guangxi transfer envoy Wang Han were both waiting for Li Buqi's arrival in Guangzhou. After receiving the report, they quickly led the officials of various yamen out of the city to greet him. The handover work of the bureaucrats.

After Li Buqi entered the city, he didn't care about politeness, so he immediately issued orders and explained five things.The first thing is to order Xiao Gu and Wang Han to send orders to the teams hunting for thieves everywhere, except to prevent Nong Zhigao from rushing into Jingxiang.

The second thing is to order the two of them to lead their officials to receive the money and food from various places, and prepare to transfer them to Di Qing's army.

The third is to order the counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou to count the lost population.In order to organize the villagers to defend against the rebels, the population was concentrated in villages and towns with water conservancy and better field conditions, and the fields vacated by the lost population were replaced with the relocated people.

The fourth is to order Wei Guan of Guangzhou and Xiao Zhu, the county magistrate of Panyu, to prepare to receive the militiamen and immigrants arriving from various places. At the same time, recruit a thousand people with good water skills along the coast to train the navy.

Then Li Buqi reiterated that all officials must be loyal to their duties during this extraordinary period. If he finds out that there are criminals or dead bodies, he will never let them go.Seeing the calm expression on Li Buqi's thin face, the officials suddenly became nervous.
