Chapter 139: When a Yellow Sparrow
The old nobles had a lot of land, a lot of money and labor in their hands, just like a bloodsquire attached to Daqin's body, if they were not cleaned up for a day, then Daqin would remain in a state of anemia until they were finally sucked dry and eaten up by these old nobles.
The new land reform policy, spearheaded by Wang Jian and his son, has already begun to be implemented.
But after all, it is a huge and long project, and if you want to use it to pry the cake in the hands of the old nobles, it will take at least a year and a half to involve the interests of the old nobles.
And in this way, the time is too long, not to mention, it is not conducive to the current Yingzheng and Li Yu's idea of going on an expedition.
Therefore, Li Yu thought of an excellent way to deal with the exploitation of the old aristocracy.
And this method is related to the treasure shop that Li Yu started to prepare next.
Treasure shop, as the name suggests, is a business that specializes in carving and processing jewelry such as jade gemstones, and then selling them at a high price.
In layman's terms, it is to commercialize the things that the nobles of the Great Qin Dynasty enjoy on weekdays, as long as the nobles pay for them, it is equivalent to exchanging the stones in the mountains for a large amount of money in the hands of the old nobles, so as to enrich the treasury.
Of course, all these plans will not be implemented until Li Yu returns to Xianyang.
……
The 7,000 sailors were left 4,000 by Li Yu.
First, it is to consider the construction of a camp on Hainan Island; Second, it is to educate the indigenous people who have been grouped together to cultivate fertile land and grow crops.
Then Li Yu took the remaining 3,000 sailors and set sail back to the shore.
As soon as they entered the interior, everyone was in different moods, but in general, everyone's mood was more excited.
It's just because Li Yu has already mentioned the issue of merit and reward for this counterinsurgency, and "sealing the marquis and paying homage to the prime minister" is something that almost every Great Qin boy dreams of, how can this make Liu Bang and the others not excited?
With this excitement and longing, the fleet sailed all the way to the city of Hainan before stopping at the shore.
Before Li Yu got off the boat, he saw that more than a dozen people had gathered on the shore, all of whom were local officials of Hainan County wearing official uniforms.
Seeing that the person at the head was Xiong Mo, Li Yu immediately smiled and said, "General Xiong, don't come unharmed." ”
Xiong Mo is Yingzheng's person, and Li Yu is a big celebrity in front of Yingzheng, Xiong Mo naturally wants to be close to Li Yu, so after hearing the news, he brought a group of officials in the county to meet Li Yu.
Seeing that Li Yu was not outside, Xiong Mo was in a good mood, so he bowed his hand and said: "Hainan County guards Xiong Mo, and brings thirty-seven officials of all sizes in the county to meet the Immortal Monarch Marquis. ”
Hearing that Xiong Mo was the county guard, Li Yu was somewhat surprised, but then he was relieved when he thought about it.
Xiong Mo went undercover by Zhao Tuo's side for so long, and finally cooperated with Zhang Han's army to take Hainan County in one fell swoop, and his credit goes without saying.
Just based on Xiong Mo's understanding of Hainan County, it was enough for Ying Zheng to place him in Hainan County to continue to work as an errand.
And in the whole Hainan County, the only official position that can correspond to its merits is the county guard.
Xiong Mo became the county guard, and Li Yu naturally wanted to say a few polite words, even if he said: "I want to congratulate General Xiong on his promotion." ”
Xiong Mo grinned when he heard this, and looked at Li Yu with a little more gratitude.
"Thanks to Lord Junhou, Xiong Mo has the opportunity to become the county guard of Hainan County, but Xiong Mo does not dare to be the congratulatory words of the lord."
Xiong Mo was originally a soldier, and his appearance was five big and three thick, but he didn't want to speak, but he was sleek.
Li Yu nodded lightly and said, "Ben Hou parted ways with the general a few days ago, but I don't know what happened to the rebels from the water now?" ”
"The lower officials are waiting here for this purpose."
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that it might be ordered by Zhang Han, and immediately asked, "Hurry up." ”
Seeing this, Xiong Mo didn't care about being in such a noisy place as the shore, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "A day ago, the general tied Zhao Tuo and passed by here, crossed the water without stopping, and then went straight to the west side of the water. ”
Seeing that Li Yu was thoughtful, Xiong Mo immediately added: "According to the previous report of Hong Sheng, the deputy general of the Lishan Army, Zhao Tuo's son happened to be stationed on the west side of Lishui with 100,000 rebels and 100,000 barbarian troops, intending to flank the Lishan Army before and after. ”
"But ......"
"But what Zhao Tuo's son didn't expect was that there was a sudden mutiny in Hainan County, not only failed to form a counteroffensive, but was also pacified by our imperial army, and Zhao Tuo was pursued by Benhou to the point of desperation, and was captured alive."
"Exactly. When the lord calculated Zhao Tuojun, he did not leak the news, so the lower officials dared to guess that the general must have wanted to take advantage of this to kill the opposite side by surprise. ”
When Li Yu heard this, he also admired Zhang Han's decisive actions in his heart.
At present, a wave of changes has made the Lishan army, which had fallen into a disadvantage in two ways, make a big turnaround.
The situation on the battlefield turned from bad to good in an instant, and if Zhang Han still used the previous delaying tactics, then he would not be Zhang Han.
And at the moment, Xiong Mo's analysis and speculation are nine times out of ten Zhang Han's thoughts.
Taking advantage of the original division of troops to form a flanking attack, even if the remaining rebels brought in 100,000 barbarians to help, it is estimated that they are not the opponent of the Lishan army.
You must know that today's Lishan army is integrated into one, supplemented by 60,000 Vietnamese troops, and it is no less than the rebels in terms of strength, and it is a flanking and sneak attack, and the result can be imagined, and the Lishan army must have a greater chance of winning.
And the only thing that has changed is still the remnants of the Xiang family army led by Xiang Yu.
You must know that Zhao Yun killed Xiang Liang at the beginning, but the headquarters of the Xiang family army did not suffer much loss, and there were fierce generals such as Xiang Yu and Long, and the Lishan army was more or less invincible in the hard core.
The general's headquarters may be okay, but Hong Sheng's part is not a fierce general, so it is difficult to say that it will be used as a breakthrough......
Thinking of this, Li Yu's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Cunxiao, you take two thousand people to turn into cavalry and go straight to catch up with the general." ”
When Li Cunxiao heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he replied: "Cunxiao takes the order." ”
Seeing this, Xiong Mo was a little puzzled: "Why did the adult suddenly show urgency? ”
Li Yu's headquarters now has only 3,000 people, and the 2,000 men and horses that Li Cunxiao has just taken away, but the remaining 1,000 people can't even move eight warships.
Hearing Xiong Mo suddenly ask, Li Yu immediately had an idea and said, "Xiong Junshou, how many people are there in your city now?" ”
Xiong Mo nodded and said, "The general didn't take away a single soldier of the Lingnan Army before. ”
Li Yu was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xiong Junshou wants to make another contribution with Benhou?" ”
Li Yu dared to say this, naturally it was a good errand to lie down and win, Xiong Mo didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "What are your plans?" ”
Li Yu couldn't help but smack his lips, and said in his heart: If it is really the road of heaven and earth, no, heaven must kill you Xiang Yu!
Then he opened his mouth and said: "Xiong Junshou doesn't need to ask much, you just need to order enough people and follow Ben Hou to be the yellow finch." ”
Seeing this, Xiong Mo didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly sent someone with a tiger talisman to order the 40,000 newly surrendered Lingnan army.
And the person who led the team happened to be Lin Ling, the general who defended the city.
