When I woke up, I found that I possessed Chen Shubao, the son of the emperor of Chen State, and the army of the Northern Dynasty was already approaching the city, and the other party was not the Sui army in yellow uniforms, but the Zhou army like a black tide. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Sui State has perished, but the Zhou State that should have perished has continued, which is a little different from the original history, this is an era that has been changed by the traverser, what should I do?

Looking at Zhang Lihua, who looked like a fairy beside him, and looking at Qin Huai, who was misty and misty, he decided to change his life against the sky.

Within a few days, the Chen army, which had made cross-era weapons and was equipped with breech guns and breech guns, fled from the Zhou army in the future, and he led the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was fully weaponized, marched all the way, and finally arrived outside Xiyang City, Huangzhou, Jiangbei.

Before him appeared a peculiar army, the weapons of which should not have appeared in this era, each soldier wearing a gas mask and armed with a breech-loading rifled gun, equipped with a breech-loading infantry cannon and gas bombs.

The man, standing on top of an over-the-top tracked tank, looked at him condescendingly, his eyes full of pity and mockery: "You, it's too late!" ”

The ambition disappeared in an instant, and at the moment when the chlorine gas poisonous mist was about to envelop him, he looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "This is not scientific! ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Yu Wenwen coughed, he had a strange dream, the content of the dream was absurd, making people cry and laugh, so that he was choked by his own saliva.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a mosquito net, which was stained with blood, and the remains of mosquitoes were imprinted on the white mosquito net along with bloodstains, Yu Wenwen touched his cheeks, which were a little itchy, and there were already several large bags on them.

As he gradually regained his senses, he remembered what had happened last night: because he learned that the Zhou army had suffered consecutive defeats outside Jiankang City, he really couldn't figure it out, so he tossed and turned and slept indecently, and inadvertently kicked open the mosquito net, allowing some mosquitoes to slip in.

As a result, he was bitten all over his body, and Yuwenwen beat the mosquito for an unknown amount of time before falling asleep again.

With a "snap", Yuwenwen killed another mosquito, spread out his palm, and saw a piece of blood red, this mosquito sucked blood and sucked the belly of poop, and almost couldn't fly.

Being bitten by a mosquito like this, Yu Wenwen was worried that he was not infected with a disease that caused his head to dream, so he touched his forehead and found that it was cold and there was no fever, so he was a little relieved.

The hazy sunlight reflected on the inside of the room through the window, it seemed that it was already early morning, Yuwen Wen simply got up, went to the yard and went around to wash his face with cold water, and turned back to the room to look at a summary of the morning light.

This summary was handed over to him by Wang Fei yesterday evening, and the content of the summary is the results of Wang Yong's investigation during this period, and it is all about the analysis of the situation of the Ning family in Anzhou.

Yang Yang wrote a lot of words, in short, Wang Yan defined Anzhou Ning as "ambitious", and suggested that Yu Wenwen support the other party with reservations.

Why did Wang Hao say that the Ning family was ambitious?

Looking at the leopard in the tube, he connected some trivial details into a line, and finally came to a conclusion.

First of all, Anzhou Prefecture is just a small city, and its small scale does not look like a city, but a dock fort of a large clan, and compared to the dock fort of the wealthy clan in the Central Plains, it is just an ordinary scale.

In stark contrast, Ning's dock fort outside the city is much larger, and if no one explains it in advance, it is easy for newcomers to mistakenly think that Ning's dock fort is Song Shoucheng, and Song Shoucheng is Ning's dock fort.

Another point is that the number of registered households in Song Shou is only more than 1,000, and the data on paper is very pitiful, and it is not even comparable to a large village in the Central Plains, but Wang Cheng has observed openly and secretly in the past few days, and the number of households alone in the farmers who cultivate the farmland around Song Shou may far exceed this.

Hidden households are a common thing in this era, and it is normal for the Ning family, as a local wealthy family, to conceal their household registration on a large scale, but the number of concealed households exceeds 20,000, which is abnormal.

How did Wang estimate this number?

Quite simply, salt.

Anzhou is near the sea, there is Qinshui in the southeastern suburbs of Song Shoucheng, Qinshui flows into the sea in the south, forming a wide bay, Yuwen Wen didn't know what kind of place Anzhou was in the later life, but Qinshui gave him a hint.

Lingbiao Anzhou, probably the later generations of Qinzhou, Guangxi, and the bay at the mouth of the Qinshui estuary should be Qinzhou Bay, the so-called sea to eat the sea, there is an important specialty by the sea, that is, sea salt.

In this era, the production of sea salt relied on "boiling", that is, boiling dry seawater to obtain the remaining salt, Wang Fei observed that there were many stove households in Qinzhou Bay, just a cursory observation can know that there are many stove households, he casually inquired about the situation of the boiling salt industry with Ning, so as to estimate how many stove households.

With the approximate number of stove households, and then based on the amount of salt boiled per household per month, the salt production was roughly estimated, and then according to the tone revealed by Ning, the approximate consumption of sea salt in Anzhou was inferred.

Because salt is a necessity for every household, and the amount of salt consumed by each household each year is very stable, Wang Fei used this to estimate how many households there are in Anzhou.

The estimation result is no less than 20,000 households, but the household registration of the state government is only more than 1,000 households, of course, the number of stove households given by Ning's is definitely not the real number, and the estimation method has a large error, but at least it can estimate an approximate number.

But even so, it can be seen that the number of households concealed by Anzhou is very large, which shows that the strength of the Ning clan in Anzhou is not as pitiful as Ning Mengli said, and will be overwhelmed by the barbarian attack of Xiyuan.

The inland Western Plains, far from the sea, has a great demand for salt, and the Ning clan has enough salt in their hands, which can win over many Western Plains Barbarian tribes, so once necessary, they can pull out a large number of "friendly troops".

Even if it is a rabble, it is also a team that can kill, and it is also a powerful helper for the Ning clan to deal with other Xiyuan barbarians.

And Ning Xuan, the younger brother of Ning Mengli, was able to become the Taishou of Hepu because the Ning clan attacked Hepu County, squeezed out the local hereditary assassin Shi and Taishou, and formed de facto control, and the Yuezhou Assassin Shi then became a puppet.

Because Chen Guogang had just solved Ma Jing, the Guangzhou assassin who was suspected of rebelling, and was unable to react to the changes in Hepu for a while, Ning's risky move was a great success, and the new Guangzhou assassin pinched his nose and recognized this fait accompli.

The reason why Yu Wenwen knew about this matter was that Wang Meng, the former governor of Lingnan in Chen Guo, had handed over in advance.

Ning's control of Hepu means that he controls the salt boiling industry and pearl diving industry along the coasts of Anzhou and Vietnam, and Mrs. Xian has also explained this to Yuwenwen in advance.

Hepu pearls are well-known in the Central Plains, and the Ning family relies on selling salt to the so-called "Xiyuan Man", and the Ning family, like Gaoliang Feng Xian, has a huge sea trade fleet.

The fleets of the two families traveled between the southern coast of Lingbiao and Jiaozhou and even the South China Sea countries, bringing huge profits to the two families, and were the economic pillars supporting Feng Xian's and Ning's Lingbiao's second to none.

Gao Liang Feng Xian's territory is close to Guangzhou, and the government is better to control it, and the Ning clan in Anzhou, the Tiangao Emperor is far and rich, if he hoards grain through large-scale reclamation of terraced fields, and obtains a large number of iron tools, I am afraid...

I'm afraid it's a tiger for trouble.

This is Wang Fei's opinion, and Yuwen Wen deeply agrees, because based on instinct, any central court must be wary of border tycoons, and once it is allowed to become bigger, it will lead to a series of border defense problems.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao of Lingxia, the Jurchens of Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and even the luxury of the southwest were painful lessons.

But he still decided to Huairou Ning, not because of blind confidence, but because after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that as long as the pros outweighed the disadvantages, since the Ning clan had the intention of surrendering, why bother forcing the opponent?

What's more, the more stable and stable it is, the only way to stabilize Jiaozhou, stabilize Jiaozhou, which has been in rebellion for thousands of years, and finally broke away from the territory of the Central Plains!
