Chapter 581: Xiaoice River Period
Thinking about it carefully, Qin Shuang did not dare to give You Tanzhi a heavy responsibility, but arranged him to be an adjutant by his side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The power of the info adjutant is not big or small, it is definitely under Qin Shuang's control, and he is not afraid that You Tanzhi will have an accident.
You Tanzhi didn't plan to pick up the main beam as soon as he came, so he didn't mind this arrangement.
"General Qin, I have a question, why have you been in Hazhou City for so long. With so many men and horses in Tatar and Uliangha, the amount of food consumed every day is not a small amount. You Tanzhi said.
"If it's inconvenient, don't say it." You Tanzhi added.
"You are now the lieutenant general of our army, and you are qualified to know the plan, and I was about to tell you about the next action. Considering the huge gap in strength between the two sides, our army drew up a battle plan called Straight to the Yellow Dragon. This plan was not proposed by me, but was decided by the General Staff after careful consideration. Qin Shuang said.
"Straight to the Yellow Dragon?" You Tan was surprised.
"Yes, I plan to attack head-on, and at the same time send men to go around the Mazhou area from the sea, land from there, and then attack Manjin Kyoto directly. With the strength of our army, it is completely possible to capture Kyoto before the enemy can react. I have been in the city of Hazhou all this time, but by telegram, the order has long been issued to the Admiralty of Jizhou. Presumably, the navy should be on Machau now. Qin Shuang said.
"Fighting together on land and sea, I didn't expect that with your character, when you have the upper hand, you will actually take a strange move." You Tanzhi was surprised.
"The success rate has reached more than 70%, which is not a miracle." Qin Shuang said.
"For you, it's a miracle to not have a success rate of more than 80 percent." You Tanzhi had read Qin Shuang's information, as well as the information on the last defensive battle with Tatar Uliangha, and everything appeared that Qin Shuang was a cautious and steady person.
Even the more daring people usually don't choose to attack when they have the upper hand, Qin Shuang's decision is really unexpected. Although it was thought out by the General Staff, it was ultimately up to Qin Shuang to decide.
"The final decision-maker of this plan is the emperor, and if I am replaced, I will not take risks easily." Qin Shuang said.
"Didn't the emperor say three months at the beginning, why did he suddenly change his hexagram?" You Tanzhi asked.
"It is said that it is news from the Meteorological Research Institute of Xingzhu Academy that this year it will snow in Liaodong about three months in advance, and the temperature in the entire Central Plains will be much lower than in previous years, so we only have one month." Qin Shuang said.
"And this kind of thing, I don't know how they calculated it, it's really mysterious." You Tanzhi said.
"I don't know, but the climate in Liaodong is indeed a little abnormal these days, I practice Tianshuang Fist, and I am very sensitive to cold currents, and the speculation of the Meteorological Research Institute should be correct." Qin Shuang said.
"I'm new here, and I'm not very familiar with the weather in Liaodong, so I don't know the difference." You Tanzhi's cultivation of the Ice Silkworm Poison Palm is also an ice attribute true qi, and he is also sensitive to cold currents. But the first time he came to Liaodong, You Tanzhi thought that the climate here was originally so cool.
As for the reason for the sudden cold current, few people know, and Ji Yang can only guess that it is probably the period of the Xiaoice River. It may be that the natural disasters in the Fengyun world are relatively rapid, and when the Xiaoice River period arrives, it will definitely be colder than the ordinary world.
The Xiaoice period refers to the decades of extremely cold winters in the entire Central Plains at the end of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the average annual temperature was very low, with severe droughts and floods in summer, and extremely cold winters, even in Guangdong and other places.
If it weren't for the early warning from the Meteorological Research Institute, Ji Yang would have almost forgotten about this stubble, so he asked the staff to urgently plan a new attack and adopt a surprise attack to win and a quick battle plan.
At the same time, Jiyang began to mobilize the whole country, storing grain and coal to prepare for the difficult Xiaoice period. Of course, the Xiaoice River will not only patronize the Taihao Dynasty, and all countries in the entire world will suffer frequent invasions of natural disasters.
And the nomads are precisely a race that is particularly weak in their ability to resist natural disasters, and ordinary snowfall will kill them, not to mention long-term snowfall, heavy drought and heavy rain. The nomads on the steppe have nothing to eat, and the only way is to rob them, so they will face a non-stop war next.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and heavy snow will fall on the world, and all the seas and desolations will suffer. The Xingzhu Academy observed the weather, and was able to understand the first, and I decided to fight the disaster of the whole country, store grain and materials, and not slack off. "If Ji Yang wants to mobilize the whole country to fight the disaster, he naturally has to think of a good set of rhetoric.
At the beginning, the officials suggested that he take the credit of Xianming on himself, but Ji Yang did not want to use Tianwei to govern the country, so he did not take their advice, sought truth from facts, and gave the credit for monitoring the weather to Xingzhu Academy, which can be regarded as an advertisement for Xingzhu Academy.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say this, how can Tianwei be defeated by manpower, and the people will not dare to fight against heaven and earth when they hear that it is heaven and earth that are angry." Chen Yang said.
"Well, then add one more sentence, things are man-made, and everyone is better than the sky." Ji Yang said.
"Your Majesty." Chen Yang said.
After Ji Yang gave the order, the holy decree was sent directly to the telegraph office, and the telegraph office sent it to all provinces in the country, so that the governors of the provinces could be mobilized immediately.
In the event of natural disasters in previous dynasties, the emperor would often take the blame on himself, and then issue an edict to calm the anger of the heavens and move the people. This time, Ji Yang did not take the blame, nor did he represent the sky, but explained that all the seas and eight faminees would suffer, but there was no difference, and it had nothing to do with anyone.
As soon as the news of the imperial court spread, it immediately caused a new round of shock in the entire Taihao Dynasty. Fortunately, after defeating Warattar and Uliangha before, Ji Yang established supreme authority, otherwise someone would definitely scold him for being unkind to the government, which caused the anger of heaven and earth.
is authoritative and easy to do, what Ji Yang said, most of the people choose to believe. So every household began to store grain and coal in the cellar, and some profiteers saw this situation and immediately began to stock up and raise prices.
However, before the price was raised, the "parity order" of the imperial court came down.
Rice, corn, potatoes, wheat and other grains, as well as coal mines, charcoal, rape oil, peanut oil, whale oil and other materials are included in the parity catalog.
The evaluation naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many profiteers, and even people from the two major chambers of commerce said in private that Ji Yang was too harsh on businessmen, and he had to take care of it when he finally had the opportunity to make money.
Ji Yang didn't care about what they said, and it was obviously unrealistic to want to use morality to restrain interests. The best way to deal with these profiteers is to order control, and at the same time send a large number of materials in the parity order, so that their purpose of hoarding goods and raising prices will collapse.
If it were an ordinary emperor, he would obviously not be able to do this, but Ji Yang has two major chambers of commerce, two granaries in Shuchuan and Jizhou, which can just cope with such a situation.
Although some people in the two chambers of commerce were unwilling, it was a pity that the materials in the parity order were only a small part of the production content of the chamber of commerce, and they could not oppose the chamber of commerce and the imperial court at all, so they could only sell a large number of these materials to the market according to Ji Yang's instructions to resist other profiteers.
The parity order and the material sell-off went hand in hand, and the profiteers' idea went bankrupt, and in order to resist the parity order, they preferred to rot the goods in the warehouse rather than sell them, and as a result, a large number of materials entered the market, dismantling their rogue strategy, and finally had to sell the goods with it.
Most people don't know the turbulent undercurrent behind it, and a few people think it's strange that in the past, when natural and man-made disasters occurred, profiteers would hoard goods and raise prices, so why did the price of grain not rise at all this time.
I can't figure it out, and in the end, I can only blame the benevolence of today's saints and the influence of those profiteers.
