Chapter 870: All-out Confrontation

Han Yong laid a trap in the Fukang County Prison to lure the escaped Xu Siyu to rescue Lan Yu, and maybe he could also wipe out the lurking personnel in Zhongziqi's wolf's den in Ningzhou, although Han Yong waited patiently for nearly a month, but Xu Siyu, who was obviously still lurking in the Ningzhou territory, had no news, and based on all aspects of the information, Han Yong judged that Xu Siyu would never come to this trap, looking at his tired subordinates, Han Yong sighed, and he underestimated his opponent.

In this case, Lan Yu has no attraction to Han Yong, such a person is obviously useless in Ningzhou, he always stays here, once he relaxes, maybe Xu Siyu who sees the head and the end of the dragon will come out, Xu Siyu's martial arts are extremely high, Han Yong knows it, if his father is here, he is not afraid of him alone, but himself, Han Yong shook his head, compared to Xu Siyu, it is really not enough.

"General Tian, this blue jade is useless in Ningzhou, the lord wants to escort him to Dingzhou, such a big man falls into our hands, and it will naturally be of great benefit to the prestige of Dingzhou."

"What about that Xu Siyu, forget it?" Tian Feng was a little dissatisfied, "General Han, it's extremely dangerous for such a dangerous guy not to dig it out."

"I know that." Han Yong nodded: "Right now, the other party is hiding in the dark, we are in the open, and Ningzhou is this guy's lair, it is indeed difficult to dig him out, but Xu Siyu's biggest threat is to use his superb martial arts to assassinate our generals or senior officials, so we must ask General Tian to inform our officials, we must strengthen our vigilance, and we can't give him a chance to take advantage of it."

Tian Feng laughed, "Most of our senior officials in Ningzhou are military generals, I, Lord Li Sizhi, Guo Quan, Lu Dalin and others, that one is not killed in the sea of blood in the sword mountain, Xu Siyu is indeed superb in martial arts, but if he wants to kill us easily, it is impossible, as long as he can't succeed in one blow, the guards around us are dry food, you say this, I have some expectations for him to come."

Han Yong said with a smile: "General Tian must not be careless, people like Xu Siyu will definitely not make a move if they are not sure of hitting with one blow, so their defense against him must not be relaxed."

Seeing that Han Yong's attitude was very serious, Tian Feng nodded, "In this regard, you are an expert, I will listen to you, and at the same time inform all the senior officials in Dingzhou in Ning, and the guard Tian Yicheng."

"Great, as long as the adults are well guarded, I can dig him out here in an orderly and slow way." Han Yong said with a smile: "Although Ningzhou is big, it also makes him nowhere to hide."

"I have always been convinced of the ability of the Supervision Yuan!" Tian Feng smiled. Since you want to send Lan Yu away, I think it's better to take the waterway, and escort him to Ningzhou City first, and hand him over to Lord Li Sizhi."

"Okay, I just want to go to Ningzhou City to borrow a few people from Master Li, but I can take this blue jade along the way."

Time into August, the weather in Ningzhou is already extremely hot, Li Sizhi's mood is also like a day, Ningzhou has been basically calm, ordinary people have begun to slowly accept the rule from Dingzhou, in Li Sizhi's series of efforts, people's livelihood began to gradually recover, in addition to the support from Liaoshen, from the local people in Dingzhou squeezed out of the teeth of the grain along the waterway also continued to transport to Ningdeng, with food, there is naturally a stable situation. The growth of the seedlings replanted in May is also excellent, in the autumn, although it is not a bumper harvest, but at least a part of it can be harvested to relieve the urgent need, as long as it is at that time, the days will be better, and everything will be fine until next year.

The new policy in Dingzhou has begun to be implemented, Li Sizhi sees it very accurately, now is a good time, how similar it is to Dingzhou back then, all the wealthy families were forcibly moved away by King Ning, and the original officials can also walk and escape, although the officials are seriously insufficient, but the county officials are sent by Dingzhou, and they have a full understanding of the new policy in Dingzhou, which minimizes the resistance to the implementation of the new policy.

Now Li Sizhi is in the first stage, publicity, so that the people fully understand the benefits of the new policy in Dingzhou, the new policy in Dingzhou is to rob the rich and help the poor, so that the landless people can have their own land, let the wealthy who have a lot of land vomit blood, and solve the situation of land annexation to the greatest extent. When the people fully understand that the new policy of Dingzhou has great benefits for them, they will support the rule of Dingzhou from the heart, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

Different from the single robbery of the rich and helping the poor, the new policy of Dingzhou is not a simple and rude implementation of the purge of the wealthy families, but actively looking for other ways for them to make a fortune, and the promotion of Dingzhou's business is based on this. The developed business of Dingzhou made the big landlords under the original jurisdiction of Dingzhou see a simpler way to make money, and commerce can bring them more wealth than collecting land. And now the development of overseas markets, but also for them to open the door to go out, Wei Zhihua brought back several boats of gold and silver treasures, coupled with Li Qing's deliberate publicity, the discovery of the New World everywhere gold and silver pictures are deeply engraved in the minds of these big businessmen whose ideas have changed greatly, this is the feat of Long Sihai, Qi Yu and others responded, and raised a large number of sea ships to the New World in a short period of time.

And Li Qing also took advantage of this to count in one fell swoop, the eliminated warships were snatched by these merchants at a very high price, and the income was even higher than the cost of building a new ship, who told these merchants to want to take the first step? All businessmen understand that no matter what the business is, whoever can do it first will maximize the profits. Digesting the old warships and raising a lot of money, the voyage of a large number of merchant ships will stabilize this sea route, form a steady stream of money, and at the same time, will also stabilize overseas enclaves. Li Qing allowed these merchants to enclose land overseas, and it would also prompt these merchants to do everything possible to emigrate overseas, and the more overseas immigrants came, the more they could consolidate their rule overseas. There are many people in the Central Plains and little land, and Li Qing must strictly guard against land annexation, but overseas, Li Qing does not have so many scruples.

The wealthy families of Ningzhou were almost forcibly moved away by the king of Ning, which made Dingzhou have a lot less obstacles when implementing the new policy, otherwise in order to redeem the land from these people, Dingzhou would have to spend a lot of money, and now it is good, a large number of ownerless fields were collected by Li Sizhi and then distributed to landless farmers.

Now the most troublesome thing for Li Sizhi is the problem of the shortage of young and strong labor, now it is okay, unlike Dingzhou, a large number of water conservancy facilities have to be built, Ningzhou is rich in water resources, but let Li Sizhi save this, but when the autumn harvest or next year's spring ploughing, the severity of the shortage of young and strong labor will be highlighted.

At the moment, I can't take care of this, Dingzhou occupies the almost dilapidated Ningdeng two states, and Bozhou has almost completely fallen into the hands of Luoyang, Qiu Zhi served as the commander of the Luoyang Army in Bozhou, and has been aggressive for a while now, seeing that another big war is about to start, Qiu Zhi veteran, Li Sizhi knows it very well, and then he and Lu Dalin's competition, Lu Dalin will face a great test.

The battle in front is the command art of the general and the brave spirit of the soldiers, but it is the economic foundation of the rear that determines the outcome of the battle, especially the army like Dingzhou, which is more dependent on logistics, and each Dingzhou army has an independent baggage battalion.

Ning Deng was originally rich, but he couldn't count on it for the time being, and the king of Ning in the 100,000 mountains was designated to come out to make trouble, and the next few years would be extremely difficult.

Li Sizhi must take out a part of the already small amount of grain and reserve it, once the war starts, the consumption of grain can be much more than usual, it is always good to be prepared, now there are nearly 200,000 troops gathered in the Ningdeng area, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Dingzhou headquarters, plus He Ping, Liang Yi, Zhou Shuwen and Guo Quan's Feng Li Division of more than 50,000 people, this is not counting the officials, officials and catchers in Ningdeng who open their mouths to eat financial meals.

Li Sizhi does not expect to be able to win quickly, at present, almost half of the Dingzhou ruling area has been completed, but the Central Plains region under the control of Luoyang has a deep heritage, full of talents, with Tianqi at the helm, Shang Haibo Yuan Fang and others to implement the specific implementation, it is conceivable that the next confrontation will be a confrontation, confrontation in all aspects, not only the confrontation between Ningdeng and Bozhou, but also the Qinxingqing region, the Quanmin region, and the Youyan region. It's going to be a battle that involves all aspects, all levels, and who wins and loses, and it will be at least a few years before we can see why.

Qiu Zhi was in charge of Bozhou, which made Ningzhou really uncomfortable, this veteran's rich experience and clear strategy against the enemy made Lu Dalin and Li Sizhi feel great pressure. Bozhou is near the sea, originally the Dingzhou Navy Division can be given what it wants, but Qiu Zhifu came to Bozhou, so he forced all the residents within 50 miles of the coast to retreat, the wall cleared, and then set up fortresses in various important places, echoing each other, so that the Marine Division could not go deep, build a strong fortress at the mouth of the Lai River, block the waterway, and make the Navy Division useless, Zhuang Youbao tried to attack once, and several warships were injured in half a day, and hundreds of sailors were killed and wounded, and they had to withdraw from the battle. It's just a pity that the Kaitai equipped with the Shenwei cannon can't be driven in, otherwise with the power of the Shenwei cannon, it may be able to capture the fortress, if the Shenwei cannon is dismantled and installed on a small ship of 3,000 materials, a small ship can be loaded with two or three, and the river of the Lai River can also be driven into two 3,000 warships at a time, this firepower is useless.

In the face of Qiu Zhi, Lu Dalin did not dare to divide the troops, using the water division to send to the coast of Bozhou, many generals put forward this idea, but Lu Dalin did not believe that Qiu Zhi did not think of this possibility, in the face of such a veteran, once the troops are divided, it is very likely to be broken by the other party, Lu Dalin is unwilling to take this risk, now he is taking a dignified and upright head-on to meet the enemy, and Qiu Zhi is a grand battle, for the combat effectiveness of the Dingzhou soldiers, Lu Dalin has great confidence. When arranging the troops, he put Wei Xin, Tian Xinyu, Lv Dalin, Jin Chao, Chang Liqing, Xiong Jiwang and other troops at the forefront, while the Liaoshen soldiers of He Ping, Liang Yi, Zhou Shuwen and others who surrendered to Cheng were to cover the flank, and Lv Dalin wanted to defeat the opponent on the frontal battlefield.
