Chapter 77: Gathering Intelligence

Xinzheng City is the base camp of the rear of the army and one of the important cities where military assets and silver money are stored.

In September, after Li Zicheng irrigated Bianliang, Li Yan was dissatisfied, making Li Yan very disappointed in Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng appeased Li Yan, and finally agreed to some of Li Yan's strategies, agreed to set up officials in the occupied land, and began to establish a complete official system to appease this Henan tycoon.

Originally, Li Zicheng's initial establishment was after Chongzhen defeated Xiangyang in the sixteenth year and called the new Shun king, and the formal establishment was when Chongzhen officially became the emperor in Xi'an in the seventeenth year, but Li Yan saw that Gao Yihuan did a good job in Luyi, and there was a successful pilot.

At the end of September, shortly after the flooding of Bianliang by the Chuang army, Li Zicheng appeased Li Yan and salvaged the relationship between the two sides, proclaimed himself the king of Xinshun in Xinzheng, rewarded his subordinates in a large manner, set up officials all over Henan, appeased the exiled people, gave relief to the poor, gave ploughing cattle and seeds, recruited people to reclaim the land, collected the land and gave the army, and tried to change from exile to political power.

At this time, the second brother of the high school did not have the ability to change anything, but his affairs affected the people who had the ability to change the situation, so the regime of the army was at least half a year earlier than in history.

Li Zicheng appeased Li Yan, and in order to stabilize people's hearts, after Xinzheng officially became the king of Xinshun, he handed over the rear affairs to Li Yan and Niu Jinxing, and he himself led the main force of the army to meet Sun Chuanting, who was out of the customs.

In Xinzheng City, in a shop, Gao Yicheng sat listlessly inside. Li Zicheng became the queen of Xinshun and handed over the rear affairs to Li Yan, who immediately formulated some strategies to pacify the displaced people and control the plague, while also encouraging the resumption of commerce and maintaining the flow of goods.

Gao Yihuan got the news from Gao Zurong, so he asked Gao Yicheng to come to Xinzheng to buy a few shops, so as to facilitate trading with Zhou Ronghua and his group, and at the same time, it was also convenient for him to resell other materials and inquire about the news of the army.

During this time, the plague was rampant in various parts of Zhongzhou, which had a certain impact on the reselling of the second brother, but he couldn't stand the huge profits, and the second brother bought clothes and armor, bought food, and paid for disaster relief, but his assets did not decrease but doubled, from more than 20,000 taels of silver to 100,000 taels.

10,000 taels of silver, you can buy 3,000 stone of grain, 12 taels per stone to Zhou Ronghua, he can earn more than 25,000 taels at a time, but he can't do this infinitely, after all, there is a limit to the food that can be provided outside the south horseman, it is impossible for him to have as much as he wants, and the scale of this matter cannot be too large.

At present, the amount of grain that Ma Yuanwai can get every month is only about 7,000 stones, and any more will have to attract the attention of the government.

The resale of grain was restricted, so the second brother of Gao drew inferences from others and began to resell other items, such as porcelain, tea, cloth, ironware, in short, he sold whatever there was a price difference.

The second brother of Gao had no talent, so he coaxed and deceived Yang Yanchang and others in the city, and insisted on giving them silver money to help them make the scale bigger.

After Gao Yicheng got Gao Yihuan's order, he bought some shops in Xinzheng, Luoyang and other places for material sales and intelligence collection.

In Xinzheng City, although Li Yan had appointed officials and ordered that soldiers were forbidden to loot and harass the people, so that the city gradually stabilized and restored order, but because of the previous destruction of the thieves and the rampant plague, there was still no one on the street.

A cloth shop along the street is an industry purchased by Gao Yicheng, and the two doors only cost more than ten taels of silver in total, and the store has a lot of cloth transported from the south, but there is no one on the street at the moment, and the business is naturally very deserted.

"Boss, what do you think we're doing with so much cloth? No one has come to the door for a few days, and I think we have lost money this time. ”

Gao Yicheng is the youngest of those old brothers, less than twenty, and if he doesn't expand rapidly with the second brother's team, he can now be regarded as a small leader.

"The lieutenant told me that these shops are losing money now, and they must be continued, and he will be useful in the future, you know what." Gao Yicheng sat up from the recliner and glanced at the pawn who was talking next to him, and then continued: "I'm telling you, this time we are mainly waiting for the news of the decisive battle between King Chuang and the official army. ”

The second brother Gao had compensated for influencing Li Yan before, intending to change the trajectory of history, and he also made some moves himself, but in the end it didn't seem to have any effect, and Gao Yiyi, who was sent out, returned no news.

This made him think that the inertia of history was very large, and he could not affect anything in a short period of time, but this time Li Zicheng actually claimed the king in advance in Xinzheng, which made the second brother a little panicked, and it seems that history has indeed begun to change.

This made him not know what the next situation would be and whether it would go off the trajectory, so he suddenly rushed the ducks to the shelves, preparing to establish some intelligence points and collect information so that he could make judgments.

"There are also foreign Tartars, and they may also be in the Kou this year, and I will hand it over to you in a few days, and I have to go to Shandong to find out the news." Gao Yicheng took a breath, in this world, going far away is like playing with his life, he has a lot of pressure.

"The lieutenant even knows that the Tartars are going to enter the Kou?" The soldier had a look of surprise on his face, feeling that his own lieutenant was too godly.

Gao Yicheng was about to take advantage of the situation to brag about his second brother, but suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Zhou Ronghua led a few people to come in in a hurry.

"Captain Zhou!" Gao Yicheng saw that someone was coming, and hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists.

Zhou Ronghua waved his hand and said with some gasp, "Sun Chuanting of the dog day, it's really fucking amazing, Luoyang and Ruzhou were all defeated by the Qin army, and King Chuang's family members in the old camp in Tang County were also killed by the official army." ”

Gao Yicheng was taken aback when he heard it, he had seen the scene of the army camping for hundreds of miles under Kaifeng City, the army in Henan can be said to be in full swing, what Sun Chuanting was so ruthless, even the king was defeated.

"Captain Zhou, you're not joking." Gao Yicheng was a little trembling, they are also part of the Chuang army now, and the king of Chuang has been defeated, so what should they do?

"I just got the news, Li Yangchun betrayed King Chuang and leaked secrets to the official army, Sun Chuanting took advantage of the situation to break Baofeng, killed Chen Kexin, and then waved Tang County to kill the family members of the old camp." Zhou Ronghua said with palpitations: "There is news just now, Sun Chuanting and King Chuang fought in Jiaxian, General Guoyi Xie Junyou was killed, and King Chuang was almost captured. ”

Gao Yicheng gasped when he heard this, gave the soldier next to him a look, and then hurriedly asked, "Captain Zhou, you come over today~"

Zhou Ronghua remembered the matter, sat down directly in the shop, and then said: "I heard that my brother has done a good job in Luyi to treat the epidemic, so I want to ask you to get a batch of medicinal herbs and send me a few more Langzhong." ”
