Chapter 45 - Zhang Liangsan's plan for Jiujiang.

After hearing Tian Feng say this, Xiang Yu suddenly came to his senses, Tian Feng was right, since ancient times, there has been no shortage of rich people, or very powerful families!

Take the Eastern Han Dynasty four hundred years later, for example, the reason for the division of the princes was not due to the fact that the Empress Dowager He single-handedly covered the sky in power and raised the He family step by step. And He Jin also rose, and the power swept the entire Han, but in the end, he still played himself to death! The 400-year-old Han Dynasty also perished.

It can be said that the later Dong Zhuo's chaotic government and the chaos in the world were all caused by Queen He! After all, if you don't use good force, you have to play politics with ten eunuchs, I really don't know what the brothers and sisters of the He family think.

That's it! Xiang Yu, who crossed over, clearly knew that there was also a Han dynasty that had died in the country, and it was still inseparable from merchants and nobles. That was the Ming Dynasty, which was later called the last dynasty of the Han people.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a rebellion of the people inside, and there was a disaster of Houjin outside. Although Emperor Chongzhen wanted to turn the tide, he was powerless to return to the sky. The rebellion of the chaotic people is also inseparable from these princes and nobles and some big businessmen.

Among them, the most famous is probably the Eight Jin Merchants! Who are these eight brothers? That is: Qiao, Chang, Cao, Hou, Qu, Kang, Fan, and Kong. Don't say it, these eight brothers are also amazing!

At the beginning, the Jin merchants provided materials to the Ming Dynasty army at the border pass, which was equivalent to the arms company, through this industry, the Jin merchants accumulated a certain amount of funds, but although the Ming Dynasty border army was relatively strong compared with the central army, the equipment replacement was really slow, which made the Jin merchants never be able to make much progress in the profiteering industry of arms.

Subsequently, these eight brothers set their sights on the Mongolian people outside the border, after all, it is smuggling! Money comes naturally quickly. Moreover, the eight brothers have power in the central government, and in the face of this kind of work with little risk and quick money, it would be a fool not to do it!

As a result, the eight brothers carried out blatant smuggling activities against the Mongolian ministries outside the Guan, which was only smuggling. But these eight brothers were soon not satisfied, and at this time, they did a stain that can never be erased in history, that is, communication Houjin.

Later Jin was the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty at that time, their location was more remote than Mongolia, and the materials were more scarce, but the ambition was also greater, and soon the eight brothers got in touch with the Later Jin, and since then the Jin merchants have sold China's iron, munitions, military industry, materials, grain and grass, and intelligence to the Later Jin. in exchange for the gold and silver treasures that the gold plundered.

So much so that later, there was the Jiading Three Massacres, and the 10-day tragedy in Yangzhou. (Jin merchants do not refer to Shanxi merchants, the so-called Jin merchants refer to the merchants who carry goods outside the customs, because they mostly go out of Shanxi Datong, so they are called Jin merchants.) So, please don't say that the author is a regional black! )

After thinking for a long time, Xiang Yu spoke: "What Yuan Hao said is yes! It's that I'm in too much of a hurry. ”

And Qin Ming and the others listened to Tian Feng's explanation, even if they couldn't understand it all, they didn't know much about Fu Jia, and they no longer blindly wanted to kill the Mei family recklessly.

Tian Feng saw that a few people slowly stabilized their emotions, nodded and said, "This family matter, we have to wait for the future to take it slowly!" And to boil the frog in warm water, not too hasty. ”

…………

"Hahaha! It is really Cao's luck to have the talent of the ovary! Therefore, I hope that you will help me in the future."

At this time, the civil and military officials in Jiujiang asked Cao Cao to notify him to come, and the purpose of this trip was to let these people come to know Zhang Liang.

Under Cao Cao's introduction, the civil and military officials finally met this Zhang Liang, who was better than seeing it.

Zhang Liang also stood up and greeted the civil and military officials.

Then Cao Cao looked at it and asked: "Everyone, now we have stabilized Jiujiang, but there are still forces in these Jiujiangs, and they are not subject to me." Part of the reason why I'm here today. ”

"King Jiujiang, the minister thinks that we have just sat in Jiujiang, and we only have eight counties under our command. It's not time to go into a big fight again! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The one who spoke just now was the elder of Jiujiang - Zhou Jin. When this person was under Yingbu, he was a certain Cao. is quite valued by Yingbu, and he is also Cao Cao's most troublesome old minister.

Seeing that Zhou Jincai finished speaking, more than a dozen people came out to second, and Cao Cao also felt a headache. This week, after all, is sixty years old, and he is also one of the most capable cadres under Yingbu. Cao Cao cherished his talents, so he didn't touch him, but he was also one of the ministers with a strong mouth, and he was born with a bull's temper, and even Cao Cao was a little afraid of him before.

"Hey! Lord Zhou's words are wrong! At this time, Zhang Liang looked at it and stood up in time to make his debut.

"Humph! What's the difference between the old man's words? Please tell me more! Zhou Jin saw that this newcomer actually came to the door by himself, so it was no wonder that he sprayed him!

"The king, the minister has three plans, which can determine the rebellion of Jiujiang!" Zhang Liang said directly to Cao Cao.

"Good! What is the plan of the good man, but it does not hurt to say. When Cao Cao saw it, his heart blossomed. This week, I finally met my opponent! Hahaha!

"First: it's now winter and the weather is starting to get cold. The princes of all walks of life have stopped fighting and have begun to use three months to rest their troops in order to fight again next year! ”

"And we can just use these three months to quickly sweep away the traitors, stabilize the situation in the eight counties of Jiujiang, and then quickly expand outward!" Zhang Liang said as he circled around.

"Hmmm! This good man is right. Cao Cao motioned for Zhang Liang to continue.

"Second: Now there are only 60,000 soldiers and horses in Jiujiang, and I hope that the king can quickly issue a recruitment order. Recruit troops and take advantage of the cold winter to train a group of combat-ready soldiers! After all, this time to attack Chu, the Jiujiang Army can be said to have suffered the most losses!"

"Yes! This time, the Jiujiang army went to 100,000 people, but none of them came back, which can be described as a great injury! Cao Cao sighed.

"If these 100,000 people are still there, then I don't have to worry about not having the strength to compete with the final princes!" Cao Cao thought to himself.

"Third: Now Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, both sides can be said to be seriously injured. And that Liu Bang, three days ago, there was no food and grass in the army. I must have returned to my teacher by now! Sending troops to occupy the surrounding small counties now is undoubtedly the best opportunity! Zhang Liang hit the nail on the head and said his three plans.
