And Zhou Yan, he didn’t want to choose these two choices.

Directly addressed all grain merchants.

Either honestly buy and sell, or wait for his sanctions.

There is no other choice.

Sounds domineering and strong.

However, many large grain merchants scoffed.

What’s the use of saying domineering words.

The grain is in our hands, what can you do with us.

You have the ability to cut us!”

It depends on whether those who are in office are willing or not, and it depends on whether the soldiers in the barracks are willing or not.

Basically, no one took Zhou Yan’s words to heart, thinking that the emperor was just scaring and scaring people.

In the end, they will still be begged.

Not only did the price of rice on the market not fall because of the emperor’s words.

Instead, it caused a rebound from rice merchants, and the price rose a little again.

This situation is beginning to make some ordinary people who need to buy rice miserable.

It was already difficult enough, and now the price of rice has risen wildly, making their lives even more difficult.

The common people hated these rice merchants, but they were helpless.

I can only hope in my heart that the emperor’s army can come over and teach these rice merchants a lesson.

Kyoto Greedy Wolf Barracks.

“Soldiers, the time has come for you to make a contribution. His Majesty has a decree and immediately goes south to kill the rebellion. ”

Xu Chaowan said loudly, “Are you ready?” ”

“Ready!”

Sixty thousand soldiers roared with their voices open, and the voice was heard by many people in the entire imperial capital.

Everyone knew that the emperor was not joking and was going to make a move against those rice merchants.

“Go!”

As soon as Xu Chao gave the order, the entire army began to leave the barracks.

The soldiers who remained in the barracks regretted that they could not go with them.

That’s a good opportunity to make meritorious achievements and earn military merit points!

However, I only envy them, and I can only hope that the next time it will be their turn.

The news that the emperor’s army had begun to march soon spread.

No one expected that the emperor would really come with them.

He really wants to do it to them!

But when they heard that only 60,000 troops came out, everyone laughed.

“Poof~”

“What can an army of 60,000 do? Don’t you want to laugh at me! ”

“I thought that Emperor Xiao’er had to prepare at least a hundred thousand army, but I didn’t expect that it was only 60,000, which is not enough to plug his teeth.”

“Even if it’s really only 60,000, you’re so good that you call it an army of 100,000!”

“Haha, soon they will be coming and going from where.”

······

The merchants who learned the news all laughed, thinking that Zhou Yan was a little out of his strength.

The provincial troops in various localities have at least 560,000 and as many as 100,000 or 200,000.

What can you do with an army of 60,000?

It’s enough to hit a house.

This time, the main targets of the Greedy Wolf Army were three provinces, namely Ruyang Province, Shengning Province and Changjiang Province.

These three places are the main grain producing areas of Chaokun.

Basically, 90% of the grain in the entire Chaokun comes from these three provinces.

And the largest grain merchants in Chaokun are also in this place.

This increase in grain prices was also led by these large grain merchants.

The largest grain merchants have taken the lead, and other small and medium-sized grain merchants naturally have to follow suit.

Besides, it’s everyone’s interests, and no one will object.

Whoever dares to oppose will be retaliated by everyone.

As everyone suspected, the government is basically just a showman.

It is impossible to really confiscate all the grain merchants, and that will have a great impact.

However, some places that were still loyal to the imperial court also actively responded to the imperial court’s orders.

The grain merchants who began to raid the local areas were basically just a drop in the bucket.

What they raided were only small grain shops, and those medium and large grain shops were helpless even for the government.

Because the interests involved in this are too much, it affects the whole body.

Therefore, the waves caused by Zhou Yan’s instruction are not large.

At this moment, the Greedy Wolf Army was heading in the direction where the three provinces were located.

The Greedy Wolf Army marched very fast.

Because all of them are strong, they are several times the size of a normal army.

In just two days, the army arrived at the realm of Ruyang Mansion.

Since he wanted to penetrate Ruyang Mansion, he naturally had to attack from the first city.

Fengyuan City, Ruyang Province.

Luo Hanqing, the general guarding the city, walked around with a restless expression.

He had already received news that Tianqi’s greedy wolf army had been killed.

In less than half an hour, you can reach Toyohara Castle.

When he first got the news, he was really shocked.

In just two days, he arrived at the realm of Ruyang Mansion, what kind of speed is this stepping horse.

Did their army come in a carriage?

Luo Hanqing was scared.

This army is probably too terrifying.

“What should I do? Are we going to abandon Toyohara Castle and retreat? ”

Luo Hanqing looked irritable, he really didn’t want to go against the imperial court.

He also wants to live a few more days.

“General Luo, you must hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon.”

Xu Caiying, the city lord of Fengyuan City, said in a deep voice: “Now we can only hope that the army of the imperial court can retreat, otherwise we will all have to die!” ”

If you surrender, the imperial court can spare the soldiers at the bottom, but it will not necessarily let them go.

After all, they went up and down, but they benefited a lot.

If they retreated, even the state capital and the general soldiers would not spare them.

The prefecture capital and military camp of Ruyang Prefecture have long been tied to those merchants, and corruption is very serious.

They are all people in the same warship, and they will certainly not give up resistance and surrender.

In that way, what awaits them is that the whole family will be beheaded.

“We have an army of more than 10,000, how can we defend it?”

Luo Hanqing’s face was ugly, and now he was in a dilemma.

No matter how few the sixty thousand Janissaries were, that was more than them.

And the Janissaries are strong, which is simply not comparable to them.

This Fengyuan City must not be able to stand it, that is, it can be guarded for a few days.

Then they will live a few days.

“If you can’t keep it, you have to keep it, it’s a big deal when the time comes

…”

Xu Caiying’s words were not finished, but Luo Hanqing already understood.

It turned out that this old boy had long thought of escaping.

In this way, it coincides with Luo Hanqing.

Anyway, we kept it, but if we can’t keep it, there is no way, you can’t blame us.

If they flee before they are guarded, it is a defection, and I am afraid that neither of them will have good fruit to eat.

However, after defending and fleeing, it becomes fleeing without the enemy, preserving the strength of the army.
