A few days later, Lin Yuxiu's pharmaceutical factory quietly began production, and Lin Yuxiu also began to prepare to go to Anping City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Yunhe rebelled, **** rejected the enemy, and the battlefield was in Anping City, which was only seven days away from the capital.

Anping City is the most important city outside the capital, not only prosperous and rich, but also a military strategic location.

Anping City has a natural danger near the river as a barrier, and the city wall itself is also extraordinarily thick, and it is not an exaggeration to describe Anping City with a sentence of solidity.

And it is precisely for this reason that Anping City has become a battlefield of confrontation between the two armies.

Such a city, as long as it is properly armed, is enough to withstand thousands of troops.

Therefore, on the same day, Liu Yunhe suddenly fled from the palace and returned to the fiefdom after raising the banner of the Qing monarch to rebel, and when the ministers of the court and the central government did not react for a while, the empress was critically ill and no one was in charge, so that in just a few days, he went straight to the capital with three cities in a row. But it was Anping City that blocked his footsteps, so he had to toss outside Anping City.

It was also because of Anping City that **** had the opportunity to stop Liu Yunhe from moving forward.

After Liu Yunhe started his troops that day, he took three cities in a short period of time and occupied an absolute advantage. It's just that no one knows that it was not because he used his troops like a god to take these three cities at the least cost and without casualties, but because he rebelled against the officials in the three cities.

Liu Yunhe first lied that the empress had died, and the Yang father and son secretly did not intend to snatch the throne, and Qiao Chengyi, the king of Huanan, had been stabbed to death by the Yang father and son, and he was lucky enough to return to the fief with nine deaths, so that he had the opportunity to expose the true face of the Yang father and son; The second is to promise these people high-ranking officials and promises, and ensure that after they ascend the throne in the future, they will never treat meritorious heroes badly.

It's not that the officials of Daqi don't have discipline, it's just that they rebelled without scruples with Liu Yunhe's mouth. It's because Liu Yunhe's identity is special, so they have to believe it.

Who is Liu Yunhe? It was the King of Hailin who was personally crowned by the Empress of Great Qi, raised by the Empress for many years, and cultivated as an heir, if something didn't happen, why would he take the risk of rebellion? Wouldn't it be better to just wait to be the emperor?

The most important thing is that although these ministers are not in the capital, they have a few relatives and friends in the capital, and they do know that the empress's health is declining day by day, and in the early winter, it is already a serious illness, and according to the imperial doctor, the empress will not live for three or five months. In other words, the empress's body at that time could only live until this spring at most.

When Liu Yunhe rebelled, it was already the first month. If the news of the Empress's serious illness is true, the Empress may have died. And the power of the Yang family in the capital, the ministers in the court also know that Yang Qinglian is deeply valued by the empress, and he can almost give orders on behalf of the empress, and his son **** is very favored by the empress, and he eats more in front of the empress than King Hailin and King Huanan. Therefore, when Liu Yunhe said that the Yang father and son were plotting rebellion, these people selectively believed it.

No matter how great the power is, it is also in the empress or time, people often say that once the son of heaven is a courtier, if the empress is gone, the new emperor ascends the throne, are the Yang father and son still so beautiful? Obviously, it is impossible, so it is not impossible to rebel while the empress is dead.

And what these people think is that if they take refuge in this King Hailin, who should inherit the throne at this time, and wait for the prince to ascend the throne in the future, they can be regarded as having the merit of being a dragon, which will naturally be of great benefit to the future, and it is better than being an official who is only released for the rest of his life, and he is one level lower than the Beijing official, right?

These people, because of these selfish or erroneous news, easily took refuge in this figure who should have been His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, intending to get the greatest benefit.

So Liu Yunhe walked all the way at that time, but no one stopped him, and he arrived at Anping City on the bank of the river smoothly.

His original plan was to take Anping City in one go, but of course, the method used was still the old way.

Such an invincible method made him feel very trouble-free, and even felt that maybe he would soon be able to go to the capital to win the throne, and when the time came, the world would be his own, who could compete with him?

But he never thought that this Li Taiqing, the prefect of Anping City, was a stubborn person, even if Liu Yunhe's people had entered Anping City and found him, and said those words to him and had coaxed several officials, but he insisted on his principles and never believed that the empress had died.

The imperial court has not issued a list, how can it be said that the empress has died? Even in previous dynasties, such things had happened, but he would never believe that such a thing would happen in this dynasty anyway.

According to the system of Daqi, although he is a civilian official, he also has command over the local army, in other words, Li Taiqing, the governor of a prefecture, is in charge of 30,000 local troops.

Since he didn't believe it, he quickly organized the local army of Anping City to resist the enemy outside the city gate, on the other side of the river.

Although the army in Anping City is not much, it can be used as the last barrier in the north of the capital, and it is not a small number, with 30,000 horses, and a riverside and a strong city wall, Li Taiqing has reason to believe that he can wait for the arrival of reinforcements. Even if reinforcements would come back in ten or twenty days, he would be able to do it.

If the strategy fails, Liu Yunhe did not think of forcibly crossing the river to attack the city, he has 80,000 soldiers in his hands, and as far as he knows, Anping City is no more than 30,000 people at most, if it is forcibly attacked, it can also be done.

But even if he knew that 80,000 men would definitely win against 30,000 himself, he could not attack the city. It's not that he doesn't want to, it can only be said that he has missed the best time to attack the city, if it was a month ago, it would be freezing cold, and it would not be difficult for the army to cross the river. However, in the New Year's River, the ice and snow have begun to melt, and if one or two people may still be able to walk on the ice, the army will not be able to pass through the ice that has gradually melted.

For a while, it is impossible to requisition a large number of boats, but if only some people are allowed to cross the river first, they will be directly strangled and killed, and it is useless. Moreover, the current situation is that the river is not melting, and the water is full of huge ice blocks, and ordinary boats will only be hit by ice in the river.

Even if Liu Yunhe was ambitious, he could only look at the river and sigh helplessly.

How could he not know that Anping City is the most important gateway to the north of the capital, as long as Anping City is taken, the capital will be like a bag to fetch things, and it will not take much effort.

However, it was just that the right time, place and people did not occupy the same, so he failed to achieve the expected goal.

It's just that when Liu Yunhe was standing by the river and scolding his mother, he didn't think that this Li Taiqing, who didn't seem to have too much contact with anyone in the court, had a fateful friendship with Yang Qinglian.

Li Taiqing not only has a friendship with him, but also believes that his old friend has a noble character and will not do such an intolerable thing, so how could he suspect his old friend because of Liu Yunhe's few words and take refuge in the new master?

When he led the troops into battle, he had already lost the opportunity. But because of Li Taiqing's insistence, he was not very passive. After arriving in Anping City, after carefully looking at the terrain, **** did not rush in to grab merit, but relied on the innate conditions of Anping City to stop the rebels outside Anping City, and it can be regarded as using Anping City as a shield to protect the Anping of the capital.

Now the two sides have formed a momentum of holding each other, and the comparison has become endurance. When you meet on a narrow road, sometimes it is not necessarily the brave who wins, but both sides can't move!

He looked calm on his face, but no one knew how anxious he was now. This war must end quickly, and the imperial court cannot afford such a protracted war. There are still two countries around that are eyeing Daqi, if they find an opportunity, Daqi will really be troubled internally and externally.

It's just that Liu Yunhe has been in business for many years after all, and he actually recruited a group of capable people under his hands, so that he was at a loss in a short period of time, and he could only choose confrontation instead of fighting.

But if the confrontation continues like this, the result will be fatal for Daqi, but it is not a good thing, and he will have to find a way to break this dead end first.

In fact, **** didn't try to take the initiative, but the natural danger is a natural danger for Liu Yunhe, and it is also a natural danger for him, Liu Yunhe can't come over to attack Anping City without alarming himself, and he can't sneak across the river to kill Liu Yunhe without alarming the opponent's army.

Several surprise attacks not only failed to destroy Liu Yunhe, but caused a lot of casualties, which made him have to calm down again. However, Daqi is facing another drought, and I don't know how many people will be displaced after the drought, and how many people will rise up to make trouble. In all dynasties, the victims made trouble, although few of them succeeded, but they had a fatal blow to the imperial court, and the current Daqi could not withstand such a toss.

Fortunately, just when he was in a hurry to get on the fire, he heard that someone offered a waterwheel, as long as there was river water, it could alleviate the drought, which made him finally breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the crops are not harvested, as long as the people can still have a bite to eat, there will be no man-made disasters, which is enough to breathe.

And he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but he just waits until the winter freezes and fights to the death. Liu Yunhe can wait, and he can wait.

It's just that it's only summer, and if you wait, it will take half a year.

For ordinary people, half a year is easy, but for a general who is confronting the enemy, half a year is enough to wear down his will. It felt like it was only a few months, and it seemed that his spirit was not much left. However, even so, he could only choose to insist on fighting spirit.

Not only ****, Liu Yunhe's situation is not much better than ****. Even, his situation is worse than ****, **** is backed by a Daqi, and Daqi has been in good weather over the years, and the grain in the warehouse is full, which can supply Anping City for a long time. However, he did not have such a strong strength, even if he had captured three cities, plus his fiefdom, it was not enough to feed so many troops. The two successive grain taxes have already aroused the dissatisfaction of the people, and if they continue, I am afraid that they will not be far from the rebellion of their relatives.

And what made him wonder the most was that the empress, who was already unsaved, would get better day by day, not only did not die, but also got better and better, which made him bear a heavy sin, and many people also complained about him, including the officials of the prefecture who had taken refuge in him at the beginning, and now they are also saying that they were deceived by him.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the time to employ people, he would definitely personally kill these villains who saw the wind and steered the rudder.

Before Mu Qianlan left the capital to go to Anping City, she spent a lot of time and experience collecting a lot of medicinal materials, not only from the various pharmacies in the capital, but also from the surrounding counties, she did not let go, she collected everything she could, and in the end, even the imperial pharmacy looted a lot.

And what she did didn't say anything was wrong, this was not for her own benefit, but to be sent to Anping City.

The people in the capital know that the reason why they have been able to live safely until now is because of the benefits of **** resisting the enemy in Anping City, if there is no Anping City, what the current capital will be like, it is really unimaginable.

I heard that it was going to be sent to the army on the front line, and these people not only did not take the opportunity to raise the price, but gave it to Mu Qianlan at a parity price. Some people even took out the silver and handed it to Mu Qianlan and asked her to buy herbs and grains.

Such unprecedented consciousness made Mu Qianlan feel surprised. They are businessmen who only see profits, and remember that in later generations, Marx said: "Once there is a proper profit, capital will be emboldened." If there is a 10 percent profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With twenty percent profit, it becomes active; With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head. "Why is it that what I see now is not like this at all? Is there an essential difference between the merchants of the feudal dynasty and the capitalists of the capitalist period?

In fact, it was Mu Qianlan who thought about it a lot, not because these businessmen suddenly became noble, but because although they were businessmen, they were the kind of people who were unprofitable and could not afford to be early, but they also understood the truth that if Anping City was broken, the capital would not be as peaceful as it is now, and the wealth they had accumulated over several generations would also come to naught.

Liu Yunhe is a rebellious person, this kind of person doesn't even remember the empress's kindness, and will rebel when the empress is sick, naturally he is not a good person, if he becomes the emperor, he doesn't know how to treat the people? I heard that the area he occupied had been expropriated several times in the past few months, and many families were not able to live happily. I heard that several large families have been confiscated by Liu Yunhe, and even their wives and children have been convicted. In case Liu Yunhe arrives in the capital, will their family property be confiscated by then? What will happen to the wife and daughter? These people dare not imagine.

In order to protect your family property and relatives as much as possible, even if you give some now, what does it matter? Abandon the small ones and leave the big ones, and they will eventually be the ones who will profit. (To be continued.) )
