Chapter 135: The World Is in Turmoil
In their opinion, as long as Liangshan did not capture the state capital and rebelled, the imperial court's top priority was to exterminate Tian Hu, who rebelled in Hedong.
The Liangshan army also became an invincible division in the sea of Qingzhou, and Song Liao did not have a decent naval army.
Shandong's largest naval army is the Dengzhou Naval Army, under the command of the Chenghai Sea Army crossbowmen two commanders and the Ping Hai Army two commands, to prevent the Liao State from attacking from the sea, but after the alliance of Song Liao Tanyuan, Song Liao rarely had wars, these four commanders are also the same as the domestic forbidden army, eat empty salaries, neglect to practice.
Originally, there should have been 2,000 people in the four commands, but in fact there were only more than 1,000 people, and the combat effectiveness was also very poor, so the pirates dared to go to Dengzhou to plunder, giving Sun Li and Luan Tingyu the opportunity to make contributions.
Other state capitals occasionally have a naval army, but only one commander of 500 people, how dare they face the Liangshan water army.
There are hundreds of pirates, dozens of less, and they dare not provoke the Liangshan army.
After the navy became familiar with life at sea, the navy began to sell burning knife wine to the Liao State.
The navy was not familiar with the Liao State, but Zou Yuan and Zou Run knew a lot of smuggling maritime merchants who traveled between the two countries, and Shi Jin's strategy was to make small profits but quick turnover, dumping a large amount of burning knife wine into the Liao State to seize the market, and the smuggling maritime merchants were obviously more suitable for this job than the navy, so the navy only needed to transport the burning knife wine from Liangshan to the coastal waters of the Liao State, and then distribute it to the smuggling maritime merchants.
The soldiers and horses of the Liao State on land naturally have these smuggling maritime merchants, and the two great powers of Song and Liao that shocked East Asia are now generally dark, with only some gold and silver. It will make the officers and soldiers turn a blind eye to the smuggling traders.
You don't need to worry too much about storms when sailing near the sea, just watch out for pirates and Song Liao's navy.
Of course, Song Liao's navy can also be dotted, but many times they will also do pirate deeds. Kill the merchants on the vast seas and divide the ship's goods.
It is more dangerous to encounter the two navies at sea than the pirates, because the pirates will only plunder the goods, and they need the maritime merchants to continue to run the ship so that they can rob the next time, but once the two navies attack, they will kill people and destroy their mouths.
The Liangshan army transported the burning knife wine to the coastal waters of the Liao State. Smuggling maritime merchants do not have the greatest risk.
The small profit of burning knife wine is also relative to maritime trade, and it can be said to be a huge profit on land, and the cost of one pound of burning knife wine is less than 30 yuan. The price of the sailors transported to the coastal waters of Liao is 60 wen per catty, and it is their freedom to smuggle maritime merchants and Liao merchants to sell as much as they want, but Zou Yuan and Zou Run will also transport them to the territory of Liao at a price of 80 wen per catty, so as not to burn knife wine and become a luxury.
The Liangshan Shui military is 2,000 ship. The load is 200,000 catties. A ship can make a profit of 6,000 guan, and it is only a few days from Qingzhou to the coastal waters of Liaoguo.
Of course, at the beginning, Zou Yuan and Zou Run personally led Liangshan Shuijun to do it, and it only took a month to open the Liaoguo market with burning knife wine.
In the mainland of Liao, the wine was even fried to a few hundred wen a catty, while the coastal area of Liao was only one hundred wen a catty. Although Liangshan has tried his best to control the price of wine, whether it is one million pounds or hundreds of pounds, it is not something that ordinary people can drink every day.
on this spirit. The Han people of Liao only eat occasionally, but for the rugged Khitan and Xi people. Burning knife wine is a good thing, a horse can be exchanged for hundreds of catties of wine, so that they can eat some every day.
The farther north they went, the more they liked to burn knife wine, and later, there were even smuggling merchants who sold wine to the Kingdom of Jin.
After the market was opened, things were simple, and the Liangshan Shui army transported the burning knife wine to the coastal waters of Liao, and then smuggled it to maritime merchants for distribution.
It is true that the profits of selling liquor are not as large as those of other maritime trades, but the time spent selling liquor from the coastal waters of Liao to the shore is also short, and there is no risk, so there are many smuggling maritime merchants who have changed their careers to become wine merchants in Liangshan.
For Yangshan, there is no pressure to make a lot of wine, and it provides many jobs for the old and young people in Dongshan, and there is no pressure on the grain for winemaking.
The annual liquor tax of the Great Song Dynasty exceeded 10 million yuan, and the liquor sold was calculated in 100 million catties, and the grain consumed by Liangshan liquor was only a small part.
Not to mention the dumping of burning knife wine by Liangshan to Liao.
This year, the already chaotic world has one more person who pulls the flag and rebels.
Huaixi Wang Qing captured Fangzhou, gathered more than 20,000 people in less than two months, and broke the three neighboring cities of Shangjin County, Zhushan County, and Yunxiang County.
This Wang Qing turned out to be a deputy platoon in Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white face and slight beard, more than seven feet tall, very strong, and can be said to be a character. But the sex is good and feminine, and she is bold.
Last year, that is, in the spring of the sixth year of Zhenghe, Wang Qing saw a beautiful girl on the street and followed him all the way.
The girl was also a prodigal woman, and when she saw that Wang Qing was handsome, she asked the maid around her to help her ask Wang Qing.
Both of them had thoughts, and soon they hooked up and became adulterous.
But it's been a long time to hook up, and the news is inevitably gone.
If it is an ordinary family, as long as there is no rape in bed, I am afraid that there is no way to take Wang Qing.
But this girl is the daughter of Tong Guan's brother Tong Zhen, the grandson of Yang Huan, Tong Guan was raised as his own daughter, and he was married to Cai You's son and Cai Jing's granddaughter-in-law, and her nickname is Jiaoxiu.
Tong Guan heard this, and no matter how shameless his daughter was, he first stabbed Wang Qing, a prodigal son, to find trouble.
On the way to stab, he met a person who made a stick, and Wang Qing said that the guy made a flower stick, so there was a conflict, and Wang Qing also learned some boxing sticks, and a stick was broken on the wrist of the person.
Wang Qing didn't take it seriously, but he didn't want this person's sister to be the concubine of the Shaanzhou camp where he was assassinated.
After this person was broken, he went to his sister and found that Wang Qing was under the control of his brother-in-law, so he asked his brother-in-law to vent his anger for him.
Wang Qing was embarrassed by Guan Ying for a while, and ate a few sticks, Wang Qing was also a well-behaved person, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he bribed the people around Guan Ying, and after finding out the reason, he thought that sooner or later he would be killed by Guan Ying, so he simply killed Guan Ying and his brother-in-law, and fled to Fangzhou relatives to hide.
This Wang Qing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he took refuge in Fangzhou, and became close to Duan Sanniang, a wicked woman in the village.
On the night when they didn't want to get married, the officers and soldiers who arrested Wang Qing arrived.
It turned out that someone reported Wang Qing to the Yamen, and the person who reported it was also a person who Wang Qing beat on the way to assassinate him.
Duan Sanniang's family wanted to regret it too late, so they could only accompany Wang Qing to fall into the grass.
Mr. Jin Jian, Mr. Li Zhu, who calculated the eight characters for them, and Liao Li, who fell into the grass in Fangshan, had an old relationship, so he and Wang Qing took Duan Sanniang and other relatives to Fangshan to take refuge.
This Liao Li's fate is the same as Wang Lun in the Water Margin, and he heard Li Zhu say that Wang Qing is very good, and there are Duan brothers to help, so he doesn't want to take them in.
As a result, Wang Qing saw that Liao Li was single, so he and Duan Sanniang joined forces to kill Liao Li and occupy Fangshan.
Fangzhou wanted to send troops to attack Fangshan, and because of the arrears of food and wages, the forbidden army in the city mutinied and killed the capital eunuch.
Wang Qing has always been bold, and when he heard the Fangzhou mutiny, he led his minions to occupy Fangzhou, and Xuetianhu rebelled. (To be continued......)
