Chapter 210: Heaven Falls (16)
After confirming the safety of the shore, He Tengxiao ordered all ships to moor close to the shore.
Jinmenwei is a relatively embarrassing place, Jinmenwei is located in the east of Jingshi City, is the throat road to the Bohai Sea in Jingshi City. During the Taizong period, Haicao flourished, and Jinmenwei became an important transit hub for the north and south of Haicao.
All the grain from the Jiangnan region to the Jingshi City had to pass through the Jinmen guard. It was at that time that the scale of the Tsumen guards was formed. At that time, Jinmen was one of the few prosperous places in the north. In the heyday, the guards and merchants of Tianjin Gate gathered, and the merchant ships came and went.
Jinmen guards are also defeated by the sea tide, and the Tianjin guards are prosperous because of the sea Cao, and they are also abandoned because of the sea tide.
With the re-dredging of the Grand Canal by the imperial court, the grain supplied to Jingshi City was transferred to the Grand Canal, and Haicao was banned. The Jinmen guards, who relied on the sea to prosper, soon declined. Seeing that the Jinmen guards were no longer profitable, the merchants left the Jinmen guards one after another.
The Tsumen guards fell into a depression. However, because the Jinmen guards controlled and blocked the exit from Jingshi City to the Bohai Sea, it was of great strategic importance militarily. Later emperors did not intend to reopen the sea, but they built Jinmenwei into a military town to protect the capital city.
The soldiers and civilians of the Jinmen guard were very enthusiastic, and waited early on the coast for this Qinwang army to land, hoping to see the demeanor of this Qinwang army.
The soldiers and civilians of the Xiaocai battalion and the name of the Jinmen Guard have also heard of it, and the soldiers and civilians of the Jinmen Guard still have some understanding of King Qin's army. After receiving the edict of King Qin, the town army in various places must quickly go to King Qin in the capital city, otherwise it will be punished for the crime of rebellion, and King Qin is also one of the major obligations of the town army.
The Xiao cavalry battalion is the private soldiers of the four major families in Liaodong, which does not belong to the establishment of the town army, and has no obligation to be the king of Qin, they can choose to choose the king of Qin or not.
In addition, He Tengxiao's Qinwang army is also a little different from other parts of Qinwang's army. That is, He Tengxiao's troops were the only army that took the sea route to King Qinwang of Jingshi.
After He Tengxiao arrived at Jinmenwei, the combined army of the Liao army and various barbarian tribes had been attacking in the direction of Jingshi City for some time.
Within two days when the Liao army had just broken through, the Liao army had frequent good news, and in just two days, the Liao army conquered Miyun, Chaohesuo, Neimiyun, Zunhua, Shimen, Jizhou and other important military towns.
In the following days, the Liao offensive was not as smooth as before. As the Qin army gradually returned to Guannei to block the barbarian tribal alliance led by the Liao army, the local defenders also reflected stubbornly resisting the attack of the satisfied tribal coalition led by the Liao army.
The offensive of the Liao army slowed down slightly, and by the day He Tengxiao arrived at Jinmenwei, the progress of the Liao army was not very large. The Liao army of Wanyan Shengcong all the way was blocked on the first line of Sanhe, and behind Sanhe was Beitongzhou City, and behind Beitongzhou City was Jingshi City, the capital of the empire.
The situation of the Liao army along the way to Wanyan Haiya was similar to that of Wanyan Shengcong, and the Liao army under Wanyan Haiya blocked Huairou in the north.
"General He." Jinmenwei County made Liu Shu's attitude quite ambiguous, and He Tengxiao also knew that it was just an appearance, and now Liu Shu asked He Tengxiao to call He Tengxiao a general.
Da Zhao values literature over martial arts, and literati have an innate sense of superiority over martial artists, and they look down on martial artists in their hearts. Don't say that it is He Tengxiao, a fourth-grade battalion general, even if he is a third-grade general, a seventh-grade county order may not take the general in his eyes.
Out of Liaodong, He Tengxiao is fighting in a different place, and unlike in Liaodong, He Tengxiao has no foundation in fighting in a different place. The local magistrates must not be offended, and He Tengxiao needs them when he needs them.
"Teng Xiao is guilty, and the county is tired of welcoming the adults from afar, damn it." He Tengxiao said to Liu Shu very politely.
Liu Shu looked He Tengxiao up and down, and heard that He Tengxiao was young and promising very early, but he didn't expect He Tengxiao to be so young, so young.
"This official Jinmen guards the county order Liu Shu." Liu Shu waved his hand at He Tengxiao, and introduced himself, "General He is really young and promising, such a young general, this is the first time I have seen this official." ”
Liu Shu is not young, he looks like he is in his forties, although he is not young, but in such an official, being able to become a county magistrate at the age of forty cannot be said to be prosperous in official fortune, nor can he talk about a bumpy career. It can be regarded as a decent type of official.
"Teng Xiao entered the customs for the first time, and he was not familiar with the place, so he had to bother to disturb Liu County's order in the future." While he was talking, He Tengxiao's trick generally said that a piece of gold was stuffed into Liu Shu's sleeve, Liu Shu was about to postpone it, and He Tengxiao insisted on Liu Shu accepting it.
After Liu Shu shirked reservedly for a while, he reluctantly accepted He Tengxiao's gold.
The heavy gold in the sleeved robe, this gold is only afraid of about thirty taels, and the ratio of gold to silver in this dynasty is almost one tael of gold for ten taels of silver.
Thirty taels of gold is three hundred taels of silver. Three hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. Liu Shu ordered a seven-pin county order that each month's Yulu was converted into 20 taels of silver in Baiyin City, and his Yulu was 240 taels a year, that is to say, this gold was more than Liu Shu's legitimate income in a year.
Liu Shu thought to himself, when did this military general outside the plug also make such a generous move? One loss is his year's money.
"Where, where, the officer's business." Liu Shu said with a smile, Liu Shu accepted He Tengxiao's gold, and his impression of He Tengxiao became better and better, this military general would be a man, "General He worked hard to rush from Liaodong to King Qinwang of Jingshi City, which is really rare." ”
After greetings, He Tengxiao stopped wasting time with Liu Shu, and said directly to Liu Shu: "I'm afraid that the last general will have to bother Liu County Commander now." ”
"General, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Liu Shuzhi said happily, "As long as this official can do it, this official will definitely meet the general's requirements." ”
"First, the last general needs to set up a trading company in Dagu Town, which is nominally a trading company, but in fact it is the logistics and military supply place for the Qin Wang army of the last general." He Tengxiao said his first request.
Setting up a logistics supply base is the top priority, and He Tengxiao does not dare to be sloppy. At this point, the people of the Shi family had already greeted Liu Shu, and Liu Shu did not hesitate and agreed.
He Tengxiao's Qinwang army built a logistics supply base in Dagu Town, and it was necessary to leave some troops to garrison Dagu Town to ensure the safety of the logistics supply base in Dagu Town.
This also indirectly strengthened the defense strength of Dagu Town, and He Tengxiao set up a logistics supply point in Dagu Town. Once something happens in Dagu Town, He Tengxiao will definitely do his best to rescue Dagu Town.
The town of Dagu was part of the Jinmenwei and was also the jurisdiction of his Liu Shu. Why not strengthen the defense of your own jurisdiction? (To be continued.) )
