Chapter 457: The Liao Army Moves South
A few days later, Fu Yanqing announced the news that the Fu family would marry the Sun family, and for a while the world was in an uproar, and Zhao Guangyi, who was thousands of miles away in Kaifeng, couldn't help but have a toothache on the fire.
On the contrary, Sun Yue, who was in the center of the storm, seemed to be unaffected at all, and everyone thought that he would have a conflict with Han Chongyun, but the two of them now get along very well all day long, and they don't cross the line at all to do what a transfer envoy should do.
Even after confirming that the Khitans would not invade in a big way in the short term, Sun Yue simply left Xiongzhou and Bazhou, and began to visit many prefectures and counties in He-Beidao one by one, and honestly began to count the amount of money and food in each county, as well as the people's livelihood. Of course, everywhere he went, he had to vigorously promote the business alliance that their Sun family had created, but after half a month's effort, the big business tycoons of the entire He-North Province became his guests.
What is more amazing is that it is obvious that it is just a simple walkaround, Sun Yue was stunned to survey seven or eight large iron ore areas, and then in less than half a month, Han Derang was able to gather the power of the entire Hebei and build six or seven small steel furnaces with the help of the Sun family, and then merged into the military commission system and began to absorb the family members of the Tianxiong army.
Then, Sun Yue, who had not even been to the military camp a few times, had a big increase in prestige in the Tianxiong Army, and he could be warmly welcomed by the soldiers when he walked to the camp and did nothing, so that Fu Zhaoyuan had to sigh that his person was terrible, thanks to this is his own family, otherwise, how could they compete with such a character once Fu Yanqing died.
It may be that the momentum of disliking Sun Yue's side is not big enough, Sun Chunming, who has been wilting for half a year, suddenly made a big move before his own wedding, and formally established a thing called 'Dahe Company' in Luoyang, with the money bank business as the core, uniting almost all the giant businessmen along the Yellow River and several major factories in Luoyang, taking over the deposit and loan business of the world, and making something called a silver ticket, which is used by the internal members of the company, and as a price,' The company will be responsible for all costs incurred by the imperial court for the construction of the canal in the next few years.
Needless to say, this policy must have been fully supported by King Yan, and the court simply split into several factions to discuss it, Zhao Guangyi is undoubtedly opposed, although he did not say it clearly, but this kind of people pay to help you repair the canal, it is really not so easy to find a reason to oppose it, and there is no shortage of true gentlemen for the country and the people among the hundred officials, and the opponent is speechless when he blows his beard and glares at the opposition.
But this is not important, the important thing is that the opposition of the imperial court does not seem to have played much role, the canal is originally based on Luoyang as the origin to radiate to the world, and the matter related to the canal in recent years has also been firmly held in the hands of King Yan.
And the official of He-Nanfu Yin, in principle, everything that happens in Luoyang, whether it is military, financial, civil, or political, has absolute jurisdiction, and the Salt and Iron Division is in the hands of Sun Chunming in Luoyang, whether you agree or not, it seems that you don't delay what people should do, it is nothing more than a question of whether there is a reputation, and now, His Royal Highness King Yan is recruiting river workers all over the world.
In the 'company', all the industries of the Sun family were thrown in, and they were exchanged for two percent of the shares, and two percent were from the Salt and Iron Division, two percent were from the Military Commission, three percent were from the wealthy businessmen on both sides of the Yellow River, and one percent actually invented something called stocks to raise funds from the world, and Sun Chunming clearly pointed out that one percent of the shares were just the beginning, and in the future, all of their equity would be diluted, and private capital should account for at least forty percent of the 'company'.
The flow of these stocks will be strictly controlled, and priority will be given to the purchase of meritorious soldiers and retired generals, but the transfer of shares will be supported.
Except for the father and son of the Sun family, few people in this world should be able to see what this so-called 'company' is, this is completely the prototype of the Dutch East India Company, except that it does not have its own army and diplomatic power, and the others are basically the same.
Oh, and if both meritorious and retired generals own stocks, it seems that there is no need to build their own army.
Stocks, which can't be said to be angels or devils, began to unveil a corner of their faces with affection.
The series of methods of the father and son are almost in one go, as smooth as mercury, so smooth that before others can react, they are finished, and Zhao Guangyi until Han Derang has been successfully elected as the so-called general manager of the company, he has not yet figured out the meaning behind the company, and all he can do is to fight with Zhao Tingmei.
The country's warriors are unique, these four words are really well-deserved.
But soon, Zhao Guangyi didn't have time to deal with their father and son, so he missed the only opportunity to intervene in the development of the 'company'.
Liao Emperor Yeluxian completely tore up the Danzhou Alliance, and began to gather Khitan warriors on a large scale, vowing to be ashamed. An old friend of the Great Song Dynasty, an old acquaintance of Sun Yue, and the god of war of the Great Liao, Yelu Xiuge, began to gather troops and horses three days ago, and personally raised 500,000 troops to the south.
Obviously, this is no longer a matter of Yunzhou or Xiongzhou, and they clearly plan to take advantage of the instability of power within the Great Song Dynasty to destroy this new regime in one go, just as they overthrew the Later Jin Dynasty thirty years ago.
Calculating the time, Zhao Kuangyin has been dead for half a year, which is almost enough for Da Liao to gather warriors, and the weather is cold now, and it is indeed the time for people to occupy the sky.
At this juncture, how can you care about what company is not a company, although there was a precursor before, the Song Dynasty was not completely unprepared, and transferred Pan Mei and Yang Ye to defend Yunzhou in advance, and Confucian generals like Sun Yue went to Xiongzhou, but seeing such a big move in Da Liao this time, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, and in a hurry, he could only order Han Chongyun to deploy the northeast camp, and Pan Mei to deploy it for Yunzhou.
However, as the so-called crisis crisis, danger and opportunity have always coexisted, when the Liao Emperor Yeluxian was newly enthroned, Sun Yue made a plan to flood his king of the north and south at the same time, and wiped out his ace lineage troops, causing the internal danger of the Great Liao, the situation is much more severe than the current Song Dynasty.
However, although the ensuing Zhao Kuangyin personal expedition made the Liao army defeated, it also made the princes of the Liao State can only let go of their ambitions and have to attach themselves to Ye Luxian's side, recognize his leadership, and jointly deal with the Song army, and Ye Luxian's outstanding performance has also convinced many of his brothers, making the Great Liao unstable over the years, but at least there has not been a big basket.
At this time, Zhao Guangyi newly ascended the throne, and he was suspected of killing his brother and usurping the throne, and he had no prestige in the army, wasn't he just like Yeluxian back then?
So Zhao Guangyi decided that he wanted to make every effort to make the world's festival envoys, mention the division of the two capitals of Kaifeng and Luoyang, and pour out of the nest to fight a decisive battle with the Khitan Hu captivity battlefield.
