Chapter 250: Shocking Change (3)
As this kind of news gradually gathered, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Ling'er suddenly discovered that Zhao Gu had pounced on the shops of Zhuozhou Commercial Bank so much that it had almost covered the whole country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two couldn't help but regret a little, if they had known that there were so many people in Zhuozhou Commercial Bank, they would not have acted so rashly.
When all the data is completely counted, Rao is Zhao Guangyi has been the emperor for many years, and he can't help sweating on his face.
A trading house, with more than 100,000 people and more than one million relatives and family members, what kind of force is this?
If the operation is good, with these more than 100,000 people alone, it can directly approach Kaifeng City, and it is not impossible to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne.
The most important thing is that before the rebellion of Zhao Gu, these guys were all serious Song Dynasty people, even if they all entered Kaifeng City, who could come out of the gap, if they suddenly attacked the imperial city, I am afraid that before the army reacted, they could make Zhao Guangyi be in a different place, right?
Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but be afraid, and then glared at Zhao Ling'er fiercely: "This is the world you supervise?" ”
Zhao Ling'er couldn't say it because of the bitterness in his heart, after Zhao Pu's death, Zhao Guangyi did hand over the intelligence power to Zhao Ling'er, but after all, he took over for a short time, where could he detect Zhao Gu's such a secret layout?
Didn't even Zhao Pu realize it before? Zhao Guangyi is advancing day by day, but indiscriminately, he blames Zhao Ling'er, and he naturally has some grievances in his heart.
"What's going on over there with Zhao Gu?" Zhao Guangyi asked.
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly put away his thoughts and replied: "According to the scout's report, Zhang Mao, the general of Shuozhou City, took refuge in Zhao Gu, and persuaded the other six generals of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to take refuge in Zhao Gu, and now the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have fallen into the hands of Zhao Gu, and all the soldiers and horses under their command have fallen into the hands of Zhao Gu, and Zhao Gu used these soldiers and horses plus the recruited soldiers and horses to form thirty corps, with a number of up to 70,000 people!" In addition, Zhending Mansion was also occupied by Zhao Gu, and he used the grain borrowed from Zhenla Kingdom to buy the local people, and occupied all the areas from Zhending Mansion to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. ”
"What!" Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but be anxious, slapped Zhao Ling'er in the face, and scolded angrily: "You waste." ”
Zhao Ling'er was thin and weak, where could she withstand Zhao Linger's angry slap, she was almost pumped to the ground, and quickly knelt on the ground: "The emperor is angry, angry!" ”
Zhao Guangyi kicked him again, kicking him to the ground, and then said: "If there is any news, let's talk about it, let me be angry all of a sudden." ”
Zhao Ling'er swallowed his saliva, looking a little frightened, but had to reply: "Zhao Gu actually didn't go to Zhenla to borrow grain, it was one of his retinues named Hao Bai, and he himself went to Liao during that time, put down Han Derang's rebellion, and borrowed 30,000 elite cavalry from Liao, and Liao also supported him with a lot of food from the treasury. The other is the Western Xia Kingdom, since the news of Zhao Gu's rebellion came, Xia Weibing and Li Jiqian's troops have responded, plus the 20,000 cavalry left by Zhao Gu in Western Xia and the 20,000 people gathered subsequently, a total of 160,000 people, have been waiting in the territory of Western Xia, and will send an attack to my Great Song Dynasty at any time. ”
Zhao Guangyi gasped, sat on the dragon chair tremblingly, and muttered, "In this way, Zhao Gu's subordinates now have nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses?" ”
Zhao Ling'er thought for a moment and said: "There are 160,000 in Western Xia, and Zhao Gu has 30,000 Liao soldiers and 70,000 corps in his own hands, which is only 260,000 people, did your emperor miscalculate?" ”
Zhao Guangyi glared at him suddenly: "Those people from the Zhuozhou Commercial Bank are not people?" They were hidden everywhere, numbering as many as hundreds of thousands, which was even more terrifying than Zhao Gu's army of 260,000. ”
Zhao Ling'er thought about it, so she didn't dare to speak, Zhao Guangyi seemed to think of something, and said: "Quickly summon Xiaoyi and their senior brothers to come back and protect me by my side." In addition, he knows all the major armies in the world and is ready to enter the king of Beijing at any time. ”
"Yes." Zhao Ling'er took the order, and after a while, she walked in in in a hurry: "The emperor is not good, there are many merchants all over the country making trouble. ”
"What's going on?" Zhao Guangyi pinched his forehead and asked.
"It is the Xianyun Villa under the name of Zhuozhou Commercial Bank, there was originally an area in the villa, which was for guests to play, but the industry inside was not Zhao Gu's industry, but in some hotels and wineries in the theater, after Zhuozhou Commercial Bank disappeared overnight, the owners behind these industries could not make money, and they made trouble in the major state capitals, and some people said that they and Zhao Gu partnered to do business, and they would also be implicated in the nine clans, and now the major state capitals in the world are already panicked, and some wealthy businessmen have gathered their industries and dare not open their doors to do business. As a result, major states and counties were almost paralyzed. ”
"How so? Just a few wealthy businessmen, how capable can they be? Zhao Guangyi was puzzled.
"But that Zhao Gu, every time Zhuozhou Commercial Bank established Xianyun Villa in a place, he would select some famous industries from the local area to join it, such as restaurants and brothels, etc., and the behind-the-scenes bosses of these big industries are all local figures, black and white, almost monopolizing local commerce and other industries, and now their industries are closed, and the people can't buy things with money. If it continues like this, I am afraid that before Zhao Gu can call, the world will be in chaos. ”
Zhao Gu was shocked, only to feel that his headache was about to burst, as if he was about to explode, Zhao Ling'er hurriedly stepped forward to support him and helped him to the dragon bed.
"Quickly Xuanmu Palace, they enter the palace, I want to listen to their opinions." Zhao Guangyi said weakly.
Zhao Ling'er sighed in her heart, and ordered the eunuch to call a group of ministers, Zhao Guangyi opened his eyes weakly, glanced at the ministers, and then closed his eyes again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think the current situation should be resolved?"
Mu Gong, as the prime minister, had to speak out at this time, only to see him sigh slightly: "Your Majesty, right now Zhao Gu is about to occupy the entire northern territory, and Xia Weibing and others are eyeing each other in the west, and the people of Zhuozhou Commercial Bank are scattered among the people, fanning the flames everywhere, and Wang Chaijun of Yunnan is waiting for the opportunity, and the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be embattled at this time." ”
Zhang Qixian, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, then said: "And my Great Song Dynasty experienced two major battles of the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition, and the soldiers were injured by more than 200,000 soldiers, and there was a shortage of troops, and more than 60,000 people were eaten by Zhao Gu and Xia Weibing and others, and now even if the major van armies are added, the strength can only reach 700,000, and it is almost ...... to guard against Zhao Gu, Xia Weibing, Yunnan Wang, and Dali at the same time." ”
When Zhao Guangyi heard these data, he only felt that his head hurt even more, and asked, "What about the grain and grass?" ”
Lu Mengzheng, as the prime minister, is in charge of these state affairs on weekdays, and replied: "At present, the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, and all parts of the country have not yet recovered from the loss of the Western Expedition, and the grain is basically running out, and the people in many places have begun to dig wild vegetables to make up for it." ”
