Chapter 170: The Situation in Yongzhou
Tong Yuan's thoughts returned to reality, and he asked Zhang Ludao, "Can this Haoqiang go to Hanyang County with us?" ”
Zhang Lu's eyes lit up, it turned out that the lord had this idea, no wonder he dared not bring troops over in the name of the Four Seas Merchant Gang.
He said, "This head of the Ye family has a good relationship with us, and now that our side is gaining power, he also has the intention of being courteous, so as long as he proposes, he will definitely be willing."
"If there is no war now, there is no need to gather the peasants under his command who are not out of production. It is estimated that there are more than 30 well-armed family members who can come with us. ”
Tong Yuan nodded, the Four Seas Merchant Gang already had a certain foundation, and they had the connections of the Hedong Shi clan and Zhang Ji here, so no one would think about murdering their gold master. Tong Yuan's identity was not revealed, so he was not afraid of too strong enemies appearing.
It's a pity that he didn't expect that some people who wanted to kill him would not let go of such a good opportunity.
On the second day, a team of nearly 100 people set out and arrived at the edge of the mountain in one morning.
Xu Jian asked, "Ye Shaojun, did you leave the right Fufeng after entering the mountain, and you are about to enter the realm of heaven and water?" ”
A sturdy young man who was rare in this era replied, "Back to Leader Xu, this mountain is called Wuyue Mountain, and it is still the right wind. Twenty miles past this mountain, it is Tianshui, that is, the boundary of Hanyang County. ”
This Ye Shaojun is the nephew of the head of the Yejiawu Fort, and has been in charge of the trading on this route for a long time, this time in order to hug the thighs of the Xiliang Army, he volunteered to lead the way for Tong Yuan, Zhang Lu, Xu Jian and others.
He talked about his hometown with great pride, "This Wuyue Mountain is a mountain as famous as Mount Tai." In the Zhou and Qin periods, they were all sacrificed here at that time. It is more famous than Mount Tai and is the first mountain in the world.
Zhang Lu looked up at Wu Yueshan and said, "Not only that, Gaozu also left the deeds of "four emperors treat me and have five also" in this place, and since then Gaozu has become a black emperor, and there are still five-color emperors. ”
Tong Yuan, who was temporarily serving as the business gang officer on the side, was surprised to hear this, he didn't expect that there were so many wonders and legends in every inch of China.
Two years ago, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Qiaoshan under the dark night saw the shocking Hukou Waterfall last year, and the first mountain in the world in the three dynasties and the Qin and Han dynasties this year.
In addition, there are many famous places such as the Cangjie Tomb in Yaxian County, the Wudi Peak of Liangshan in Haoyang, and the Renzu Mountain and Zhaoyuze in Taiyuan County. Is it possible that it will be passed on to future generations?
However, the group did not specifically climb the mountain to worship, but hurried towards Tianshui. He is burdened with many people's expectations and future, so it is better to seize the time.
Three days later, he finally entered Tianshui. Some of the officials of the merchant gang and the accompanying Haoqiang were familiar with this side, and they quickly got in touch with the local Haoqiang and merchants.
The officers of the Shang Gang and the guards who followed were all capable people in a hundred, and they protected Tong Yuan very naturally, and after a few days, the Ye family did not realize that this ordinary officer was actually the real leader.
Tong Yuan doesn't have to give orders on the road, he can concentrate on planning and layout. He thought about these northwestern counties, first of all, most of the northern counties were in the hands of the Qiang tribes, so he didn't mention it.
Anding County is actually controlled by Ma Teng, and it is estimated that it is extremely difficult to intervene. Similarly, Wuwei County is also in the hands of Han Sui, nicknamed the "Jiuqu Yellow River", and the distance is the farthest, and it is not used as the main battlefield of the current layout.
In addition, the Korean language about fighting may be second-rate, but grabbing territory and playing scheming are definitely the top of the Three Kingdoms. It's better to let Jia Xu stabilize first, so he won't take the initiative to be abused.
The enemy Emperor Fu Song occupies part of the two counties of Wudu and Longxi.
In the original history, he reached a reconciliation with Li Dao and Guo Yan, who controlled Chang'an, and returned to Chang'an to be promoted to Tai Lieutenant.
Soon after, the Chang'an bureaucracy was afraid of its prestige, and as after the pacification of the Yellow Turban, they once again excluded Huangfu Song, and Li Dao and others were also willing to suppress the strength of dissidents, so Huang Fusong was dismissed as a lieutenant and held other positions.
This time, because of Dong Bai, Huangfu Song was blessed by misfortune, but he had a region of his own.
Although the two counties of Longxi and Wudu are farther away from the central area, because of the prestige of Huangfu Song, there are few warlords and Hu people who attack and disturb them.
Tong Yuan's idea was to take Hanyang County, fight for Longxi County, and drive Huangfu Song's forces to Wuwei County, which was beyond the reach of the whip.
Therefore, Hanyang County, that is, Tianshui, is the key to his trip.
His plan is very clear, that is, similar to Hedong, he will directly give preferential treatment to the scholars and merchants on the side of Hanyang County. Through the Four Seas Merchant Gang, they are encouraged to do business in Guiyi, Xiayang and other places, give preferential treatment, and directly sign large orders.
In particular, the counties such as Qiyi, which were newly included in Tong Yuan's jurisdiction, were completely in ruins, and a large number of seeds, tools, and materials were needed to build tuntian.
For the Dashi clan here, it is really a business that is on the lips. For Tong Yuan, if everything is settled, then he will successfully tie them to his chariot.
In fact, he has an even more tempting plan.
Soon after, he would restore large swaths of his homeland, which had been divided by the Yellow River into Qin and Jin.
The Jin land, which is the Shanxi side of the later generations, must have taken the lead in the Hedong Shi clan. And in the later generations of northern Shaanxi, did anyone from Tianshui take the initiative to attack?
This is the opportunity he gave, in addition to a certain amount of political protection, trade route protection, etc., so that no one will take the initiative to take refuge.
These things are the major things that Dong Bai had to talk about in the past ten days when he concealed his identity before he arrived.
Now they have arrived in Xianqin County, where the royal family is located in Hanyang County. This is where the Four Seas Merchant Gang is located, the corresponding branch place, and the new county mansion called the "Inn".
……
"Master Wang, we have a good discussion this time, and the merchant branch here will be troubled to take care of it in the future."
"Where is it, if it weren't for Weiyang Jun and Haoyang Hou to send a letter to put pressure on Ma Teng and Han Sui this time, we don't know what kind of catastrophe we will suffer! I should be able to do something good for that side. ”
"Hahaha, when the time comes, Zuo Feng Yixin's settled counties and Shangjun counties in Bingzhou will also need the Wang family master to move around more."
"No problem, next month my daughter will marry the local clan Zhao family, their side is more powerful, they can mobilize a lot of local relations, these materials can pass as long as the road is smooth"
No matter how much this father dotes on his daughter and makes her take on a lot of big things, as an ancient person, he will still weigh the benefits of getting married.
Zhang Lu negotiated with the Wang family and everything went well, and Tong Yuan heard everything clearly as a "deputy" on the side.
