Not long ago, Shangnan, who had experienced the sack of the war, regained his vitality and entered the festive atmosphere of the New Year in advance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info First there were merchants entering the city, and then the news of the victory at Tongguan came.

The officers and soldiers won a great victory in Tongguan, and the two generals of Guo Jianbu's Quansheng Sixth and Li Gouwa were killed. Tens of thousands of captives were captured, and it is said that some were killed and buried alive.

For the people of Shangnan, who were not lightly affected by the fire, this news was enough for them to celebrate and avenge with joy. Immediately, another news came, which made them even more happy. The materials from Henan were transported to Shangnan through Jingzi Pass.

Although there are not too many materials transported by rubber-tyred carts, this means that the Lu army is indeed as promised, not to harm the local area, and not to forcibly levy it to the local government. The purchase of military supplies as much as possible can also allow the local people to earn a share of the money for the feet of the master. For the people of Shaanxi, such a team is enough to be a heavenly soldier and a general.

In the last blind date, many Lu Army officers became Shang Nan's sons-in-law and married Shang Nan girls with good backgrounds as wives. These mothers are more or less powerful, and when they see the materials, they are more assured that the marriage with the officers of the Lu Army is not a loss-making business. As a result, the strength of these people gradually began to be exerted, coordinating materials and raising military supplies for the Lu army as much as possible. Lu tickets in Shaanxi have also begun to circulate normally.

For paper money, the people had some resistance at first, and Aunt Jin also transported silver in order to run the grain station. However, there are always people who dare to fight. In addition, it is the families of those who are married, in the spirit of gritting their teeth and suffering losses to find a backer, they collect some banknotes, change hands, and let people find a way to spend them.

As a result, the banknotes were spent smoothly, whether it was to exchange money or buy supplies, it was very convenient. This gives the banknotes credibility and makes people's hearts more stable. Later, it is cheaper to buy something with a reckless ticket than with a silver dollar, which is more conducive to the circulation of reckless tickets.

Shaanxi is backward in science and technology, and there are not many decent industries in the province. Shandong has developed light industry, and warm pots, towels, leather products, and daily necessities began to be traded in Shangnan along with merchants from Shandong. These gadgets are not worth much, but they are of great benefit to people's livelihood and do not worry about sales. Another hard currency is Lu Yan.

Originally, Shaanxi was not a salt area in Shandong, but Zhao Guanhou has always had a national consciousness, that is, whether it is a salt area or not, as long as it is Chinese territory, he should allow his own Lu salt to be sold. As long as it was a Chinese merchant, the Lu army had the right to receive the money (this sentence was only limited to the internal circulation of the Lu army).

It was through the Lu army to enter Shaanxi, and these Lu salts were also transported in and sold. The Lianghuai Salt Farm is now also within Zhao Guanhou's sphere of influence. The quality of salt in Huailu is much stronger than that of Sichuan salt and Huamachi salt marketed in Shaanxi, and the price is also cheap, and the market is easy to open. If you buy salt, you can get a greater discount, so the number of people who collect tickets is increasing, and the pressure on the grain station is greatly reduced.

The market situation is mainly affected by the military situation. This time, the Lu army won the battle in Tongguan, and the value of the Lu ticket in the people has increased a lot. The number of ticket collectors is gradually increasing, and the market has become prosperous because of the stable environment.

Merchants brought prosperity to the market, and more opportunities to make a fortune, and the wounds of the past, along with the great victory of the Lu army, began to heal. Dozens of porridge shacks have appeared in Shangnan, and the Shangnan Humanitarian Relief Agency, chaired by Hannah, has cooperated with the church to distribute porridge in the county town to help refugees.

With the white smoke emitted by Rodley's camera, these photos will appear in overseas newspapers, and countries have given a very high evaluation to the Lu army, and at the same time, some secret channels have also begun to report to their own countries: cooperating with the Lu army is more in line with the protection of China's future interests in China. The warlord Zhao is very likely to become the most powerful person in the ********, and he should establish a good relationship with him in advance.

In the capital, several drinking parties were held in Sai Jinhua's small apartment, and several businessmen, under the care of their own ministers, signed several contracts for the sale of foreign rice with representatives of Shandong. Shandong's relationship in Nanyang also played a role, and rice from Nanyang would be transported to Shandong, and then from Shandong to Shaanxi, on a train.

With food and victory after victory, the people of Shangnan finally saw a glimmer of light in the darkness, and there was hope for a good life.

Henan, in the city of Kaifeng.

Shi Jinbao, a big grain merchant in Henan, kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, obviously defeated, but still trying to resist to the end

"Ms. Zou, I ...... I'm a friend of Lei Ye. Think about it, this is the president's mulberry, it doesn't matter, how can I do the grain business here. If the price is too low, Lei Ye is afraid that he will be unhappy. ”

Zou Xiurong's face was indifferent, the name Lei Zhendong obviously had no effect on her. Zhao Guanshuai's second sister-in-law, is it necessary to be afraid of Lei Zhendong, the director of the Military Justice Division? Isn't this a joke?

"Lei Ye, do you mean Lei Zhendong? Do you want me to hang up on his phone now and tell him that someone is hoarding and raising prices under his signboard? The president is very concerned about the situation in Shaanxi, and if someone sabotages the military operation in Shaanxi, I think Lei Zhendong himself will not be able to shoulder this responsibility. If we sign today, it will be this price, and if we don't sign, the price will only be lower. If you resist selling, then it is not me who will talk to you, but a foreigner who will talk to you, or let Lei Zhendong talk to you himself! ”

Shi Jinbao couldn't scare her when he saw the name of Lei Butcher, so he had to flatter her again: "Ms. Zou, don't worry, everyone has something to discuss." This is the year of war, and you can't set the price of the peaceful year. What's the matter, you have to let me earn a few good for the New Year. You see if this is okay, the price is this price, you pay with cash, I will reward you with a thousand heads, this guarantee is out of my hand into your hands, no one knows. ”

"As I said, you can only pay reckless bills, not cash. If Boss Shi agrees to sign, I can also give up part of the benefits, but not the price, but the cloth of my Shandong No. 2 Textile Factory, and I will sell you a part of the Lu cloth at the cost price, which can almost make up for the loss of your grain price. ”

Of course, Shi Jinbao knows that the cloth of Shandong No. 2 Textile Factory is now a scarce material in other provinces, and if it is won at cost price, it can indeed make a profit. Not to mention the problem of grain merchants and cloth merchants, among the big businessmen, there is naturally a way to transfer things out, and they will not be pressed in their hands.

Anyway, the other party was a grain officer wearing a yellow coat, and he also got the order of Zhao Fu, the acting overseer of Henan, and the grain was either sold to the Lu army or rotted in the warehouse, so don't even think about selling it. If he sells it privately, he will collude with a white wolf and shoot him on the spot. All that is fought for is to make as much profit as possible. But Zou Xiurong doesn't get oil and salt, and he can't help it, it's always good to get some cloth.

The contract was drawn up a long time ago, and after it was signed, the grain could be loaded into the train. Shi Jinbao asked a little puzzled: "Ms. Zou, you helped Lu Jun run a grain station, and if you say something unpleasant, this is a fat shortage." Not only do you not make money, but you also have to build a batch of cloth yourself, what is this picture? ”

Zou Xiurong smiled slightly, and his eyes fell into the distance, "Because...... Guanhou is my younger brother, my ...... Close relatives. ”

Shi Jinbao is a big businessman, and he has seen many beauties, and Zou Xiurong, who is thirty years old, originally couldn't attract his attention. But at this moment, he only felt that Zou Xiurong's beauty was the only one he had ever seen in his life, and he couldn't help but look at it stupidly. It wasn't until Zou Xiurong said goodbye that he came back to his senses, personally sent someone downstairs, returned his hand, and slapped himself suddenly, "It's really a treasure, how can you just think about money and money, and let go of a beauty!" ”

In the carriage, Zou Xiurong's secretary handed over a letter, "This is a letter from Second Master Meng to you." ”

Zou Xiurong shook his head and said: "Don't read it, the recent letter is not about the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, or about the presidential election." I'm dead to integrity now, and it doesn't make a difference who is the president. Help me find the news about Shaanxi in the newspaper, I want to see the situation over there. ”

In Shangnan County, Zhao Guanhou is not as optimistic as ordinary people, and the biggest problem that plagues him is casualties. Although there were two big victories in a row, the Lu army also paid the price. With penicillin, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers has dropped dramatically, and a large number of wounded can return to the army to continue their service. But in any case, losses are inevitable.

There are many poor people in Shaanxi, and some of the people can't survive, and the soldiers of the swordsmen are not trained in the first place, and they can be recruited with death, which is very convenient. Moreover, although the quality of these hungry people is poor, they can not care about their lives, which also gives him a headache. For example, in this battle of Tongguan, the equipment of Guo Jian's department was extremely inferior, but his fighting spirit was very strong, and he dared to rush towards the gun line with a big sword and spear. If you kill someone and grab a gun, you will leave, and you are not afraid of death at all.

"These are all good men, they all died on the battlefield of the civil war, it's too wrong." He sighed, "However, if it doesn't hurt them, they don't know that they are afraid, and if they want to negotiate, they can't do it." You see, this is their latest plan, to prepare a five-way coalition army and launch a general attack on our army. ”

In the battle of Tongguan, although Guo Jian lost his soldiers and generals, it also shook several other route armies. These commanders all realized that the Lu army was not comparable to Yan Wen, and if they continued to fight separately, the result could only be eliminated one by one. It is the Jingxia Demon that has issued a call for all commanders to attack and encircle and suppress the Lu army.

The combined forces of the five armies can mobilize nearly 100,000 troops, and in addition, they can recruit troops on the spot, and the strength of the troops is even more incalculable. Although the Lu army made great achievements and suffered small losses in these two battles, the death toll was close to 1,500 and the number of wounded was even more, which made Zhao Guanhou feel a little distressed.

"These good soldiers, trained so hard, and the result was so bad, I can't stand it. If I don't send additional troops, I won't be able to fight this battle. ”

Reinstein looked at the intelligence and drew on the map, "Defending to the death is not a way, if they are allowed to form an encirclement and cut off the supply of our army, then our army can only abandon Shangnan, or even withdraw from Shaanxi." Now, the tactic to adopt is to attack. Attack against attack, and destroy their coalition forces with a powerful offensive. Destroy some of them, then turn around and eat the second and third ......"

"This kind of tactic requires mobility, but our livestock is also a problem."

After the victory of Tongguan, a large number of livestock were driven back, the place in Shangnan was limited, the camel team could not enter the city, just outside the city, a snowstorm, the frozen livestock did not know how many.

There is no way to feel distressed, the entire Shangnan is limited, so you can only ensure the safety of the military horses first, and the pack horses can't take care of it, and they eat with death, but it is cheaper for the soldiers below.

Zhao Guanhou looked at the map and frowned, "I have to think of a way to do this, I can't be the only one who suffers." This is a national matter, and other provinces can't look at jokes, whether it's soldiers or salaries, they have to think about it! I've asked Jade to prepare a message for me, and I'll send it out when I get back. ”

Sun Meiyao was quite dissatisfied with Zhao Guanhou's failure to stop the fight and accepted Liu Peixuan, and raised a whip to smash Liu Peixuan's face. It is still Yang Cuiyu who comes out to save people.

"Sister Meiyao, I don't care who to deal with, but my secretary is really short of people. You know the one in our family, the secretary only needs a woman, not a man. Even if I have eight hands alone, I can't handle that many things. If you kill her, don't talk about how she makes trouble at home, just say that the sister-in-law is around, and you still have to use people. Kill one, come again, you do the math. If you're willing for him to get a few from the house, just beat her to death, or keep her to work. ”

Sun Meiyao threw away the whip and snorted angrily: "You have so much work to do? ”

"Look at what you said, as if my secretary were a dry eater. Let me ask, just talking about the victory of this battle, the statistics of the trophies, the statistics of prisoners, and the calculation of the merits of the battle, how much work is this? And our casualties, pensions, ammunition consumption, plus military rations, supplies, and military supplies, you can tell me, how can we leave the hands of people? Otherwise, how many of your female soldiers will you send? But they can't do it, they are clumsy, and they make the family anxious, and I can't help it. ”

Sun Meiyao snorted, "Then she is your person, you tell her, just this time, if you see her climb into the bed of Guanhou again, I will not even spare her to take you." ”

Yang Cuiyu smiled and pushed her out, "Okay, okay, you better hurry up and take care of your foot strength." This year, it is extremely cold in Shaanxi, and if your horse freezes to death, you will feel distressed. ”

"Yes, this leg strength is a problem, a lot of pack horses have frozen to death, although it is not the foot power of the ride, but after all, it is for us to pull supplies. If we don't have those livestock, we're going to have trouble with our supplies, and we'll have to see what happens. By the way, what did the crown marquis ask you to send him a telegram? Retribution? ”

Yang Cuiyu nodded, "Reporting merit is one thing, and it is reported to the War Department." In the battle of Tongguan, 50,000 yuan was reported for beheading, anyway, this is the old rule of Qianjin, and it has always been doubled, and when it comes to it, you have to add water. The other is to be distributed to the whole country, and that is what really matters. ”

"Send it to the whole country, what are you doing?" Sun Meiyao was not scheming, and she almost had a quarrel with Cuiyu, but at this time, like a big child, she curiously pulled her and asked, "Tell me, who is with whom, let me know what he is going to do." ”

"Anyway, it's not a concubine, you don't have to be afraid." Cuiyu smiled first, and then said: "He sent a report to the whole country to cry poor." You see, the crown is in danger, and the crown is suffering. The lonely army is partial, the food is scarce, and the soldiers of the whole army cannot eat and clothes cannot keep out the cold. With more than 10,000 hungry and poor soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves in the enemy's pass, it is overwhelming. The food of the whole army is not enough every day, the salary is less than a month, and the soldiers and generals have the heart to return home. Guanhou couldn't bear hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves in Shaanxi, wandering through his stomach and poisoning the whole country, so he sacrificed himself to guard the peace of the north and south of the river. However, the lone army cannot fight for a long time, and the fear is overwhelming, so I hope that my comrades in all provinces will help the people's livelihood and the people, and help our army to solve the danger of our army, protect the integrity of the country, and the people live in peace and ......"
