Chapter 108: Friends and Foes

The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and there is also a sentence of phoenix nirvana, which probably refers to those who survive after a devastating disaster. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

30,000 Beiting Flying Eagle Ride, riding a Jiaolong warship around Dongping, and resting in Canghai County on the way, Zhao Zheng bought hundreds of catties of vegetables very "friendly" to cheer for the economy of Chu.

Friendly neighbors and allied forces developed together, and Zhao Zheng's move to help Chu develop its economy attracted tens of thousands of Chu troops, who came to Nangang day and night, and the Chu army's warships were destroyed, the diet was very different, and the morale and combat power fell to the bottom.

Zhao Zheng's ship stopped for two days and left, leaving a promise to send the Chu army back to his hometown, and tens of thousands of Chu troops burst into tears and watched the Gushan warship leave.

"Shame"

Mi Xin was furious, and the dignified Chu soldiers were played with by Zhao Zheng, first cleverly deceived them into going to the Northern Expedition, and then brazenly destroyed the Chu army's warships, but now they pretended to say that they were willing to send the Chu army home.

God knows, after the Chu State occupied Canghai County, riots continued to occur, and local people repeatedly seized and killed the Chu army's cities, which made Mi Tao very upset.

"But if there is a repeat offender, crush him."

In order to deter the mob, he proposed torture that had not been used in the Chu State for a long time - crushing, so as to calm the riot a little.

However, the local soldiers came to Nangang to guard against the Gushan army, and the civil unrest that had just been quelled re-emerged, and Mi Xin was already impatient, and he was ready to adopt the eleventh method to completely subdue the rioters.

Without waiting for the soldiers to suppress the mob, Mi Xin transferred them back again, and the warship of Gushan came again, this time without docking, and went directly to the north by detour, and a month later a month later a batch of timber passed by.

The soldiers were angry, and every time they ran over to line up to welcome the Gushan sea ship to pass by, they broke their legs when they broke their legs, and they couldn't do it.

Seeing that a mutiny was caused, the commander Mi Tao moved his mouth to solve it, and Mi Xin was demoted three levels in a row, from a deputy general to a Nangang order, with 3,000 soldiers to guard the only five warships of the Chu army day and night.

What Zhao was doing, Qi Tao was curious.

Gushan, who sent away the main force of the Yin Eighth Division, has become a tiger without minions, it is a pile of fat meat, and Mi Tao is waiting to be enjoyed, and more than 30,000 Beiting flying eagles have appeared.

Yishui's black-armored long knife, an eight-foot-tall burly figure is enough for a half-Chu sergeant.

Zhao Zheng had a relationship with Ashina Yan, which surprised Qi Tao, but he still quickly withdrew the elite of the 10,000 Chu troops who were originally scheduled to attack Cang'er County, and sent grain and grass to "help" Zhao Zheng recruit soldiers.

The gift was accepted, and the smiling face was also given, but the threat of the Chu army Zhao Zheng did not dare to forget, and there would definitely be action, but not now.

20,000 engineers took turns to fight, the largest dock in the world was completed, and eight-masted warships sailing all over the world were about to appear, and those equipped with artillery should be called battleships.

The warship transporting the second division of the mercenaries also returned from Qi State, and it was full when it left, and the same was true when it returned, cloth and silk, vegetables and fruits, and hundreds of craftsmen from all walks of life, Zhao was about to rebuild Gushan in Cang'er County.

Dongping is cold, the summer is short and the winter is long, and only one crop can be harvested every year, so the three counties of Dongping have become the granary of Donghu, raising millions of people.

At this time, it is approaching the end of summer, and it is not possible to survive the cold winter by sowing seeds, but it is still barely possible to plant some vegetables and fruits.

Hundreds of acres of ripe fields grow green vegetable seedlings, and the Gushan soldiers who migrated here and the Zhou soldiers who stayed behind have some taste of home.

Wanghai City was widened by ten miles at one time, and the length from north to south was also widened by more than five miles, and the engineers also had some newly recruited Xia people to build dwellings along the boundary.

The biggest threat to Gushan is not that there are strong enemies but that there is no money, and building the city wall first will only block the merchants and people who come and go.

The shadow of the famous tree, although the solid mountain is gone, the prestige of the solid mountain is still there, and the merchants of the Central Plains heard that Zhao was building a city in Dongping, and they came north to do business here.

If Gushanjun is willing, gold can be dug up in the desert.

In the past, he attached great importance to business, and Zhao Zheng was surprised to attract businessmen by engaging in preferential policies.

The first to come were the merchants of Qin and Jin, who came here thousands of miles away, selling goods was secondary, mainly to see if Zhao Zheng was alive.

Zhao Jichang took the initiative to take on this tiring work and led the caravan to Wanghai City, bringing the gold of the whole vehicle.

"The first half is the dividends of the various branches in Gushan in my Zhao family, and the second half is the income of Yonggongzi and you to open a kiln factory." He never said anything about the merchant.

Zhao Zheng looked at Huang Chengcheng's gold bars, how could this cart of gold repair two big ships, and temporarily pay Ashina Yanmu money.

Zhao Jichang can be said to be a charcoal in the snow this time, and there is no reason to let him run for nothing.

"Buzz"

Zhao Zheng took out a Tang knife and flicked it with his hand, a crisp buzzing sound sounded, and he smiled and handed the knife to Zhao Jichang.

"It's... What do you mean, I didn't come here to buy Tang Dao this time. ”

Gushan Castle was razed, and although the camp was reopened in Wanghai Castle, it would definitely take time for production capacity to recover. Moreover, the forging method of the Tang knife Zhao has already mastered seventy-seven-eighty-eight, so it is necessary to buy it from Dongping for thousands of miles.

"Brother Ji Chang didn't find out, is there anything different about this Tang knife?"

Zhao Jichang lowered his head and looked at it, there was almost no big difference in the size of the grain, if there really was, it was also that the blood groove of this knife was too deep, so that the back of the knife was easy to fold.

"I don't see any difference in this knife."

Zhao Zheng smiled, took the knife and said: "The knife, the king of a hundred soldiers, the murder weapon on the battlefield, how can you see it if you don't fight."

Dare to borrow Brother Ji Chang's saber and fight with this knife to see who wins and who loses. ”

Zhao Jichang took out his saber in disbelief, Zhao Zheng held one in each hand, looked at the two knives and smiled, and slashed at each other.

"Bell"

There was a splash of sparks, and the two Tang knives couldn't help but tremble.

"Hum~~"

"Boom"

Zhao Jichang's saber actually broke off from the middle and fell to the ground.

"This ......"

Zhao Jichang couldn't believe that as the first family to come into contact with Zhao Zheng, his saber was one of the first hundreds made by carpenters. Today, it was cut off by a Tang knife newly forged by an ordinary craftsman.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask if there is a difference in the forging technology of this knife?"

Zhao Zheng shook his head.

"That's it", Zhao Jichang muttered to himself, Zhao Zheng had no reason to lie to him, and the only explanation was that Dongping had better iron mines.

Cang'er County was all controlled by Gushan, and the Beiting Ashina family sent troops to guard it, and when I came, I heard that the Donghu Nu Khan also had an alliance with Gushan.

Zhao Jichang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he had an independent iron mine, an independent territory, and was friendly with the two major forces of Dongping.

In time, Zhao Zheng led the Gushan army south, and at that time, all countries bought imitation Tang swords and broke them on the battlefield, wouldn't that scene be terrifying.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jichang bowed down and said respectfully: "Zhao's firm wants to open a branch in Wanghai City, and I hope that you will help you one or two." ”

The best way to destroy your enemy is to turn him into a friend.

If the Zhao clan wants to continue to strengthen the alliance, they must make some money, and Wanghai City is not a waste to be rebuilt, so take the money to smash the prosperity out.

Zhao Zheng smiled and helped Zhao Jichang up, the goal was achieved, and he finished eating.
