Bastard’s Resurgence

Chapter 843: News from the Northwest!

The situation in Liangzhou did not fall to one side because Song Wenjie had the upper hand. At a critical time, Song Wenhua’s number one adviser, Ouyang Xiashui, made meritorious service and allowed Song Wenhua to reverse the situation. Originally, Song Wenjie took a good hand, which was enough for him to solve it. All questions.

However, it turned out to be counterproductive. Song Wenhua was the first to return to Liangzhou, and through this incident, he also exposed Song Wenjie’s intentions completely, so that Song Wenjie’s fox tail was completely exposed. Such exposure|exposure is not for Song Wenjie. The burden of bearing.

First of all, it is now clear how powerful Song Wenjie is in the northwest. Compared with Song Wenhua, Song Wenjie can mobilize almost all the troops in the northwest. For so many years, he has tolerated secretly. In fact, there are so many civil servants and generals who have been snatched by him in secret. It makes people uneasy, this kind of uneasiness is not only Song Wenhua, even Song Naifeng.

Song Wenhua returned to Liangzhou from Shatian County. This carbine was an escape. He was fully aware that compared to Song Wensong, who was weak and ambitious, his elder brother Song Wenjie turned out to be much more terrifying. Song Wenjie has enough power to take the Northwest as his own. If Song Wenjie can be decisive and has the disposition to kill and decisive, he can even take all the power of the Northwest in his hands this time, and Song Naifeng can also be forced to abdicate. Terrible.

So for Song Wenhua, his ideology is like moving a hamster. He moved to the side of how to deal with his eldest brother Song Wenjie overnight. Song Wenjie did not steal the chicken, but the key is that Song Naifeng pulled a side frame after he left. His situation instantly became delicate.

In Shatian County, he had to order all actions to cease completely, while in Liangzhou, he had to start dealing with all kinds of bright spears and dark arrows from Song Wenhua, and the two brothers had torn their faces overnight and turned on. You fight to the death.

...

After a busy day in Shengjing and Lu Zheng, he almost collapsed on his chair from exhaustion. There have been too many things in Liaodong recently.

In the barren land of Liaodong, Lu Zheng kept more than 100,000 cavalry, and Liaodong, which had just gone through the war, was devastated. According to the way of the military, Lu Zheng could only send troops to the Central Plains quickly and then occupy the two rivers of the Central Plains. Is the way to survive.

But after all, Lu Zheng has gone through the baptism of modern civilization, knowing the truth that water can carry a boat can also overturn it. Under such circumstances, to use Liaodong's resources to launch a war that is not sure of victory. Therefore, stabilizing Liaodong is Lu Zheng's first priority now.

Liaodong’s government affairs must be re-purged, and Liaodong’s official governance must be re-established. More importantly, Lu Zheng needs to attach various interest groups behind him so that their relationship can be reflected and balanced.

Therefore, Lu Zheng wanted to plant the protégé descendants of the Jiangnan family in the entire Liaodong. In feudal society, this is almost a matter that the ruler must be proficient in. Lu Zheng previously ignored this point, so although he could He has repeatedly turned the dangers into a bargain, but he has always encountered pitfalls.

Lu Zheng is a traverser, but he now understands that all attempts to surpass the times and the productivity of the time will definitely cost a huge price, so Lu Zheng chose to gradually integrate into this society and into the culture of the feudal ruler. This is the only way Lu Zheng can win!

For Lu Zheng, apart from stabilizing the situation in Liaodong, the biggest difficulty now is that the economy and output of Liaodong simply cannot feed the cavalry and army under Lu Zheng.

In this chaotic world, it is impossible for Lu Zheng to disarm. In order to make Liaodong’s grain, grass, money and silver run normally, Lu Zheng has tried his best. In this kind of operation, Lu Zheng has continuously strengthened the reconstruction of the Suspension Mirror Division. And expansion, on the other hand, is to give Gu Zhilun greater power, allowing Gu Zhilun to recruit more merchants at the lower level, and use the means of merchants to open up the two trade channels between the north and the south.

Lu Zheng needs food from the south, and Beiyan in the north also contains huge wealth. If he stands on the level of the country or the lords of Lu Zheng, it is difficult for him to communicate with the south of the Yangtze River and get it from the south of the Yangtze River. Something needed.

For Beiyan, it was also very difficult for Lu Zheng to reach a consensus with Beiyan’s court to allow Beiyan’s good things to flow continuously to Liaodong. Therefore, in order to communicate between North and South, the best way is to use the all-pervasive. Group of businessmen.

In the civilized era, there was a saying: "Businessmen have 50% profits, so they take risks; for 100% profits, they dare to trample on all human laws; if they have 300% profits, they dare Committing any crime, even risking the risk of hanging one's head." Among them, the north-south trade is enough to make the businessmen groups risk their heads, because this is a huge profit.

Many years ago, Beiyan and Dakang actually had a bad relationship, and the trade between the two sides had long been severed. However, since the two sides had large armies stationed at the border, the non-governmental commerce has never really been cut off for so many years. |In the face of confusion, there will always be people who dare to take the risk of killing their heads and do the most dangerous things, and these people cannot kill them. They are like mushrooms after the rain. Absolutely.

And what Lu Zheng is doing now is to use his power to fully integrate this group of profit-seeking businessmen, and support them from behind to take risks, and Lu Zheng tilts all his resources and strength towards them. They even have a strong Secret Mission team on the north-south trade road to serve them.

There are thousands of businessmen in such a caravan. These businessmen are in groups of three or five, broken into pieces, some in Kyoto in Beiyan, and Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River. The Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers. They have long sleeves and good dances in these places. Make friends with the rich and powerful, use all available means to search for special products from these two places, and then secretly transport these things through the huge transportation team supported by the Suspended Mirror Smyth, and transport them to Liaodong or from Liaodong. Liaodong’s output is shipped to these two destinations.

This kind of operation may seem insignificant at first glance, but the accumulation of less and more, the accumulation of soil into mountains, it is precisely because of this kind of trade that supports the slow recovery of Liaodong society, step by step recovery, and also guarantees that Lu Zheng's more than 100,000 horses will continue to be paid. , To give Lu Zheng a chance to regenerate, recuperate and rejuvenate.

In history, the earliest strategy used by Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty to conquer the world was to build walls high, accumulate food, and slowly become king. At that time, these three sentences were worshipped by countless historians in later generations, who believed that these three sentences were the key to Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to stand out among the many separatist forces and finally achieve the emperor's hegemony.

Lu Zheng once thought so too. After knowing that he had experienced all these things personally, he knew that the so-called nine-character mantra was really overestimated.

Just like the situation where Dakang is now torn apart, who is a fool? Who doesn't know how to build walls and accumulate food? But look at these lords and heroes, how many can be satisfied?

Let me talk about Cao Weiming, who is relatively weak at the moment. Cao Weiming has just become king. If Cao Weiming can stand firm in the entire Central Plains and have stable Central Plains strength, will he also be king? The answer may not be.

Cao Weiming became king because he wanted to make a short promise to unite the divided civilians and generals under his hands. If he didn't do this, the two rivers would soon fall apart.

Let's talk about the accumulation of grain. In Lu Zheng's current situation, even with all his strength, he cannot guarantee that he and his hundreds of thousands of horses will be able to eat their stomachs, let alone accumulate grain, and can barely make a living. How can there be surplus food when the incense is high?

There is also the matter of being king. Lu Zheng is now also a prince, although his prince is bestowed by the emperor and is very orthodox. But in fact, it wasn't until now that Lu Zheng understood that the status of the prince had too much effect.

Lu Zheng has the status of a prince, and he can build a palace in Liaodong. Although the palace is small, it can be as complete as a palace. If Lu Zheng wants to clean up Liaodong, he must have six ministries: households, officials, rituals, labor, punishment, and soldiers. You can't miss Dali Temple, Honghu Temple, and other yamen.

There are so many supporters behind Lu Zheng, and so many powerful people, without these positions, he can't even put all of them in place! Therefore, it is easier said than done, but the actual situation is often much more complicated.

As for building a high wall, it is even more impossible. Lu Zheng's Liaodong leaks on all sides. This cannot be changed. He has no way to choose an opponent, because he may face challenges from his opponent at any time.

In the Central Plains, he needs to deal with Tan Lei and Cao Weiming. In the northwest, he needs to guard against the Song family. Shandong is weak and Huaiyang Jiangnan may send troops to the north at any time.

What made Lu Zheng more vigilant about was the north. Beiyan’s regime had recently stabilized. The balance between their emperors and queens has shown a huge tilt, and the empress dowager’s line has taken the initiative in full control.

But now, because of the clarification of internal troubles, their attitude towards Dakang has also undergone a subtle change. Liaodong is the front line facing Beiyan. Once Beiyan wants to do something, Lu Zheng bears the brunt and is inevitable. In this case, how does Lu Zheng build the wall? Does he still have the strength to build a magnificent Great Wall on the border like the Qin Empire back then?

Throughout the ages, all the history books have written in the Spring and Autumn Period. The actual history is much more complicated and more profound than the history recorded in the history books. Lu Zheng is now able to purge Liaodong to this point. He has done his best every day. It was so painful!

"Boy, can't you let me take a break? Look at how tiring my day is and how many things I need to deal with! You are still messing up with me here!" Lu Zheng opened his eyes and saw the boy and couldn't help it. Make complaints.

The boy had a strange expression on his face, and he pondered for a while and said, "Master, it's news from the Northwest! This is what you said, the news from the Northwest is very important. Once you have news, you must report it as soon as possible!"
