All the armies are marching very hard, the primeval forest has never been conquered lightly, it is the world of animals and plants, the Khmer people are very short, flexible like monkeys, the masters of the Cochin people who are accustomed to acting in the forest can only be regarded as a very ordinary tribesmen, those well-trained Khmer soldiers can easily discover the whereabouts of the Tang army, calmly arrange traps, Mu Keduo's army is like a thunder rod, in the old forest of the Mori Mountains one by one to lift the traps laid by the Khmer, This thunderous errand caused many casualties to his sergeants.

This situation has long been expected by Yang Lin, but he has no good way to deal with it, even with the level of science and technology during World War II, it is extremely difficult to fight in the jungle, and he can only raise the pensions of those soldiers who died in the jungle again and again to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Cheng Chumo is leading the army to burn the mountain, this is the most feasible way for Li Er, the weather in the south is rare and drier in the first month, a fire can advance dozens of miles in one day, but I don't know how many poisonous snakes and beasts he will harm by this move are ruthlessly devoured by this fire, but this burning really burned a lot of treasures for him, the entire copper mine, and even the gold and silver mines were found by the soldiers who cleaned up and repaired the road, these are the greatest wealth obtained by the Southern Expedition.

"Father, too much, too much, our Tang Dynasty is going to make a fortune, from here, to here, dozens of mountains are all copper veins, as well as the few in the south, gold and silver minerals are very rich, we only need to send some craftsmen here to start smelting, there will be countless real gold and silver made by us."

Li Ke excitedly pointed to a huge sand table in the military tent and explained to Li Er that the discovery of these veins was made by him with gunpowder, and the minerals in Yunnan, even if they were developed at the level of later generations, could not be developed in a few decades, they discovered them. It's only a small part, but it's already enough to create more money than the existing gold, silver and copper coins in the Tang Dynasty.

"Hehe, don't be too happy, you take a look at this first." Li Er brought Wang Erniu from Jiaozhi to Xiachuan Island, and now the letter that was transferred to Li Jiuzhong was given to Li Kedao.

Li Ke is a smart person, but he is far from being smart enough to see through a money word, a large number of minted coins will lead to a decline in the value of a coin, the disorder of prices, and so on, which he never thought of, the more he looked at Yang Lin's letter, the more dignified his face became. It turns out that there is such a great knowledge in minting coins.

"Now I admit that God is the wisest man in the world, he is right, coins cannot be eaten or drunk, but they represent not only the value of goods, but also the value of labor productivity, the amount of coins must be coordinated with the level of labor, productivity, and consumption of the people, if we blindly mint the gold, silver and copper found into coins. Then it will lead to the whole country's coins becoming less and less valuable, and it will cause all kinds of imbalances, so the amount of money in the Tang Dynasty must be formed under the control of the imperial court, and this number is difficult to accurately calculate and control. However, the method he said about setting up a bank to regulate seems to solve this problem, alas, we have found these mountains of gold, silver and copper, but we can only carefully and slowly mine them. It's really embarrassing. ”

With such a huge reserve of gold, silver and copper mines, Li Er was naturally happy, and it was what he had to do at the moment to find out where these veins were located and take close care of them. What he cared more about was what Yang Lin said about the method of issuing new money to unify the price of currency, and what made Li Er most strange was that Yang Lin seemed to know in advance that his army would find a large number of minerals when he arrived in the land of Nanzhao, and cast his avatar on the new money, this idea was too secondary, and Li Er couldn't wait to gather the craftsmen to make a model.

Money has been a big deal since ancient times, and only by clarifying the specific value of money can we formulate a more stable and reasonable market rules, and only when the market is stable can everyone prosper, Yang Lin has been scratching his ears and thinking of a more thoughtful way, without a computer system, it is difficult to do comprehensive statistics, and he can only hope that various management regulations can make the bank operate more normally in the future, and the value of the currency will be more reasonable, as for the war, he has done everything he can do, and death is inevitable, Otherwise it would not be war.

"Ignition."

Mu Keduo waved his command knife, the war broke out at this moment in front of the Khmer village, Shenwei cannons can't be transported to this kind of deep mountains and old forests, there is no huge number of auxiliary troops, and it is impossible to build roads here, so the siege method they can use is the most primitive catapult, but they are not throwing stones, but explosive bags with long leads.

"Boom"

The feeling of the collapse of the sky permeates the entire Zhaiqian Village, the Khmer people who are extremely unfamiliar with gunpowder are caught off guard and suffer heavy losses, the Zhaiqian Zhai is the strongest walled city of the Khmer Kingdom to the outside world, so the Khmer King put most of his troops into the defense of this village, the mountains are narrow, Mu Keduo hurriedly made zuò out of the catapult is not much, and it can not be lined up if it is too long, but the wall of the Zhai Qianzhai is wide, and it is covered with various city defense facilities, and the power of the gunpowder explosion only affects part of the area, After the initial panic passed, the warlike Khmers began to manipulate the fortifications and began to fight back.

"Crash"

The sound of the crossbow fired from the stranded bed came from the wall, and the big arrows of the trunk thicker than the arm were shot out by the Khmers, such huge arrows were not at all able to resist by shields or manpower, and there were screams of soldiers when they were shot in Mukdo's camp, and the Khmer walls were very high, so the range of catapults and bed crossbows would be farther than that of the Tang army, so that the grinding of meat began in an all-round way to fight each other.

"Report, General Mukeduo's troops attacked the city for one day, with nearly 1,000 casualties, and the Khmer casualties were not small, but they are still constantly repairing the walled wall and preparing to resist.

Chachai held the communication and rode a fast horse to transmit the battle report of the front line to Yanglin's account, in the original battle between the seven kings of Jiaozhi, more than 1,000 casualties on both sides is already a big battle, after all, their total number of soldiers is only 20,000 or 30,000, but now it is different, 1,000 people is nothing to the 100,000 army of the Tang Army, but Yanglin is a person who cherishes his life, he is thinking about a way to reduce the casualties on both sides, and giving the Khmer King more time to ask for help from the Nanzhao tribe behind him is his strategic purpose, so he can only use human life to delay time.

"The war is so cruel, it has made me cruel, I will feel distressed when I have killed a few people, but now I can ignore the death and injury of a thousand people, you go back and tell him to adjust the siege time, and set an attack every three days! Try to line up in defensive formations to avoid too many casualties among our troops. Yang Lin replied helplessly, if he wants to put pressure on the Khmer king, but he doesn't want to be killed or injured, this is impossible, the rocket launches a white phosphorus bomb may be able to directly capture the village in front of the village, but if he can't attract the people and horses of the Nanzhao tribes, he has to use the white phosphorus bomb all the way down, which is even more inhumane.

"Scorpions! Don't fiddle with the sword in your hand anymore, you just make it gorgeous, how can you have the sword made by the latest smelting technology in Chang'an, or hurry up and help me find a way to solve the Nanzhao tribes! I'm worried that if Your Majesty arrives in Nanzhao one step ahead of me, it will be a sea of corpses and blood. ”

Chachai received the latest military order and retreated, and Yang Lin sighed. Turning to the scorpion, who was playing with his sword encrusted with six jewels, he said.

"Do you want me to take a trip to Nanzhao? That's no problem, plus the jewel in the crown of the Khmer king, my seven-star sword is worthy of its name, in fact, you should have sent me to the Khmer a long time ago, only to let the Khmer king feel that his life is worried at any time, is the time when he feels the most oppressed, without further ado, I will go and take his crown. ”

The scorpion said chicly, and walked quickly, Yang Lin looked back and thought about it, it is indeed this truth, war should be done in every possible way, but it is a pity that he, the later generation, does not have the idea of a warmonger, it is a pity to have such a martial arts master by his side, thinking of the usefulness of martial arts, especially in this era, the usefulness is actually very great, so Yang Lin felt that he could not delay the cultivation of martial arts, so he took off the clothes on his body and began to practice cross-legged.

When it comes to naked cultivation, we have to say that Yanglin's martial arts, this is a relatively masculine and domineering qigong, although Yanglin uses a more feminine cultivation method, but it has not removed its nature, he doesn't want to become Li Yuanba's kind of crazy man who is too fierce, so he has been trying to find a way to eliminate the heat on his body, but the place of Jiaozhi is extremely hot, and if you don't pay attention to it, it is easy to burn out the body, so naked cultivation has long been a habit when Yanglin practiced.

White Rose has been very busy recently, there are many wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, many of them are seriously ill, the doctors and art troupe members in the army don't have much rest time now, it is rare to sneak a little bit to show Yang Lin his progress in quyi during this time, it is best to seek one or two new areas, but he didn't want to open the curtain of the camp tent, but he saw that Yang Lin was sitting with his eyes closed.

"Ahh

A sharp dolphin cry pierced Yang Lin's tent, Yang Lin in the practice thought that the military tent had been attacked, jumped up from the mat in pain, and opened his eyes to find that it was White Rose who inadvertently broke into his camp, and a pair of apricot eyes looked at him.

"Oops."

Yang Lin instantly thought of something, pulled over a piece of clothing, and covered his lower body that had just grown a few bird feathers. (To be continued......)
