Chapter 66: Indecision

Chapter 66 Hesitation

Since getting the ransom from the Wang and Yue families, because of the lack of grain, grass and money, the political, military and economic growth of Donglai County has experienced an eruption!

After the money and food were sufficient, Su Shang implemented some reforms in the army, dividing the army into two parts: the regular army and the reserve army!

The regular army is the Allied army, they are professional troops, the most elite soldiers, all composed of strong young men, who only need to be responsible for training in peacetime, and are the main force of conquest in wartime!

The reserve army is a second-line army, in addition to the necessary training in peacetime, it needs to be responsible for building water conservancy, planting grain in the fields, etc., and in wartime, it mainly assists the Allied army to defend the city, as well as is responsible for transporting the grain, grass, weapons and other logistics of the wartime army.

Moreover, because the front line was too cruel to be suitable for female soldiers during the battle, the Angel Ambulance Battalion was also divided into two parts, and all the battlefield ambulance soldiers were changed to male escorts! And the female soldiers of the Angel Ambulance Battalion stayed in the rear, specially responsible for receiving and treating the wounded soldiers who had returned from the front line!

Therefore, of the tens of thousands of captives captured during the extermination of Wang Bo's bandit army, Su Shang left all the others in the army except for the disabled part, and he incorporated all the sturdy young men into the allied army, and the rest were organized into the reserve army!

With the development of the Allied Army, the remnants of the bandits in Donglai County were also wiped out by the trial of the Allied Army, and the prestige of the Allied Army gradually affected the counties around Donglai County, and troops were often sent to cross the border to suppress bandits!

Whenever this happens, Su Shang will also take the opportunity to send lobbyists to secretly win over the local wealthy families, and after a few months, he has gained a lot, and there are already more than a dozen local wealthy families secretly swearing allegiance to Su Shang!

Since the Alliance Chamber of Commerce was handed over to Jin Sanbao to be in charge, the Alliance Chamber of Commerce has not only been running well in Donglai County, and its tentacles have spread all over Donglai County's clothing, food, housing and transportation, but also its development outside the county is also expanding rapidly!

However, Jin Sanbao changed the chain model of unified listing and naming when the Alliance Chamber of Commerce developed outside the county in the past, and all of them were changed to secretly acquire and control the original local shops, so that the outreach of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce in other counties changed from bright to dark, which not only reduced the risk from the hostile forces of the Alliance, but also reduced the hostility of the local wealthy families!

After a few months of development, the shops secretly controlled by the Alliance Chamber of Commerce have spread all over the surrounding counties of Donglai County, and in other places in the Great Sui Territory, as long as it is the county that Su Shang specially explained that needs attention, Jin Sanbao will control at least two or more shops there!

Du Ruhui, who came in a hurry, just stepped into the door of the coach's tent, and saw Su Shang alone, a little frowning, standing in front of the sand table map and thinking!

In the past few months, Su Shang has basically been a hands-off shopkeeper in addition to formulating the development strategy and guidelines of the alliance in all aspects of military, political and business, and asking about some major military and political affairs! Therefore, most of the things in the alliance are handled by the president of the alliance, Shi Du Ruhui!

As the long history of the Alliance, although he does not need to be specifically responsible for anything, he has to coordinate the development of the Alliance's military, politics and business.

And these days, the alliance has been developing rapidly in all aspects of military, politics and business, and there are a lot of complicated things, so Du Ruhui is busy from morning to night every day, and he doesn't have much time to stay in the barracks!

The reason why he hurried to the barracks now was also because Su Shang's personal soldiers informed him to come! Before coming here, he was at the Hyacinth Intelligence Headquarters, discussing with Li Yixing and Jin Sanbao about establishing an intelligence organization in the shops of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce!

This is also proposed by Su Shang, because he feels that these shops all over the place are full of people coming and going every day, and it would be a pity not to use them! Therefore, he proposed to establish a business information organization in the alliance chamber of commerce as well!

This business information organization will be in charge of Jin Sanbao, which is mainly responsible for collecting information from customers who come and go, while Hyacinth is a professional intelligence organization, mainly to collect intelligence by bribing officials at all levels, family members, etc., and the two are intersecting and not subordinate to each other.

In this way, even if one party is exposed in a certain place, the other party can still collect local information normally, which can not only improve the readiness of intelligence, but also reduce the risk of intelligence!

When the soldiers arrived, Du Ruhui and the three of them had just discussed the matter of training intelligence personnel for the Hyacinth Intelligence Organization, and after receiving the notice, he followed the soldiers to the garrison camp, because he knew that the marshal must have something important to discuss with him, and he couldn't let the marshal wait for a long time!

"Ruhui has seen the president!"

Du Ruhui stepped forward to salute, and when he saw Su Shang's appearance, he was secretly a little worried, "President, why are you frowning a little bit today, is there something big happening again?" ”

"It's not! It's just that yesterday I received a transcript from General Li Mo of the naval army battalion, and he gave me a proposal, I couldn't make up my mind, and I wanted Brother Ruhui to help me analyze it! ”

Su Shang turned around and took a notebook from the table and handed it to Du Ruhui, "Look at it!" This is General Li Mo's proposal! ”

In addition to the lack of warships, the naval battalion has developed very well recently, could it be that Li Mo proposed that the marshal send the naval army to conquer the surrounding bandits? Du Ruhui took the notebook with some confusion and looked at it carefully!

Du Ruhui guessed half right, Li Mo proposed that Su Shang send a naval army, but not to conquer the surrounding bandits, but to conquer Goguryeo!

It turned out that after Su Shang inspected the naval camp some time ago, he once notified the whole army for the problem of insufficient naval warships and solicited ways to solve the shortage of naval warships!

At that time, Li Mo thought of the original warships of the naval battalion, which originally had more than 150 large warships of more than 1,000 stones, as well as three huge five-tooth warships!

These five-tooth warships are huge, each of them is more than 200 feet long, more than 60 feet wide, and more than 100 feet high, divided into five layers, they are all the main warships built by the imperial court in order to conquer Goguryeo!

Unfortunately, due to the defeat of the entire army during the first eastward expedition to Goguryeo, all these warships remained in Goguryeo!

Therefore, Li Mo wanted to propose to Su Shang at that time to send a naval army to take back these warships! However, in the end, he still did not make this suggestion, because there were too few naval warships at that time, and the Allied naval forces alone were simply not enough to complete this task!

However, after the news of the imperial court's eastward expedition to Goguryeo came out a few days ago, he remembered this matter again, and he felt that the allied naval army could raid the Goguryeo Hunshui camp when Goguryeo was defending against the imperial army, so that there was a great hope of recapturing those warships!

Therefore, he wrote this recital to Su Shang, telling Su Shang in detail about his proposal and analysis, hoping that Su Shang could lead the navy to take the warship back!

Thanks to the warm recommendation and support of book friends such as "Feng", "Shangzu Love", "Caozhou People in Beiping", "Jun Mo", "Pan Intoxicated Heart" and so on!

Bit by bit support, keep in mind, the future will be more exciting with you!!
