Chapter 160: The Three Dao Coalition Forces Battle Gannan

For Shang Xiaoren, the governor of Qiantang Province, he actually didn't look at the conditions for sending troops issued by Huang Jizong, the governor of Qianhu Province. The military expenditure of millions of Long Yang is nothing to him. With Qiantang Road, a rich land in commerce and taxation, the amount of funds he has on hand is not inferior to that of the warlord governors of other provinces.

In the face of this new neighbor, Xu Bin, the governor of Gannan, the Gannan Chamber of Commerce under his command began to seize the market share that originally belonged to the merchants of Qiantang. Shang Xiaoren, who has always been a businessman, has actually received applications from some of the following big business families. That is to restrict the caravan of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce from entering the Qiantang area to do business.

But in Shang Xiaoren's opinion, once he issued such a ban, he invisibly pushed the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce to the opposite side of all the chambers of commerce in Longhua. This will cause immeasurable losses to the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, which has always been known for its righteous businessmen. In addition, he also has a Qiantang Navy with a large number of ships. Qiantang merchants can also sell goods to places where the Gannan Chamber of Commerce cannot reach to obtain profits. Although the cost is a little higher, it is better than offending businessmen across the country.

Fair trading and free competition are the iron laws of shopping malls, and even if Shang Xiaoren is no longer accustomed to the expansion of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce, he has to grit his teeth and open up the market, so that the caravan of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce can do business freely in Qiantang Road. What's more, most of the things sold by the Gannan Chamber of Commerce to Qiantang compete with foreign businessmen. In fact, the business of the local handicraft merchants in Qiantang has little impact.

It's just that with the shili of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce, it is increasing day by day in Longhua Kingdom, and some of the governors who used to sell him a few thin noodles. Now they seem to be keen to receive the merchants of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce, after all, in terms of paying normal taxes, the merchants of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce are more authentic than the chamber of commerce of the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce.

For the casual reception of the merchant, the governors of the provinces naturally preferred to receive caravans that paid taxes normally. This has also led to the current business of the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce. In the vicinity of Gannan, several provinces descended very quickly. As a result, some originally wealthy businessmen are not living a good life today.

As for those foreign businessmen, they also gritted their teeth at the Chamber of Commerce led by Xu Bin. If it weren't for Xu Bin's international business circle, he would have been able to invest a lot of money every year to buy machinery and equipment from several major countries. I'm afraid that these equally greedy foreigners would have sanctioned Xu Bin's Chamber of Commerce a long time ago, and they would watch the Gannan Chamber of Commerce eat away at their economic interests in Longhua little by little?

Now there is finally an opportunity to give Gannan's Xu Jiajun a fatal blow and let him understand this year. They are not enough to reign supreme. At least the Qiantang Army is the object they need to pay attention to and watch out for. For a long time, the combat power of the Qiantang Army was not strong, which gave Shang Xiaoren a headache.

He also hired a group of well-known military talents at a high price for this purpose. Come to Qiantang to train troops for him. Now there is finally a proof that the strength of the Qiantang Army is enough to deal with the attacks of the surrounding provinces. Does he want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a move? It's really worth thinking about.

Just when Shang Xiaoren was a little powerless to deal with Xu Jiajun of Gannan Province for the two of them, the governor of Pingfei Province suddenly sent a secret telegram. It was decided to invite him to join the Qianhu Army, which was under attack by the Xu Family's army, to jointly attack Gannan with the three paths. In any case, it is necessary to let Gannan's stunned young man understand how serious the end will be if he provokes too many people.

With the addition of Hirahi Road. Shang Xiaoren naturally didn't have to hesitate, and soon the two jointly called Huang Jizong. The amount of military spending offered to be given has been doubled. In the end, Huang Jizong, who was really unwilling to lose his position as the governor of Qianhu Dao, had to reluctantly pay 10 million Long Yang's military expenses to each person. In order to reach this agreement of the three parties to jointly conquer Gannan.

The total strength of the three provinces also reached more than 300,000. Aside from the Qianhu Army, which was under attack by the Xu Army, they had to try their best to delay the offensive of the Xu Family's army, and the troops of the other two provinces took the initiative to launch an offensive against Gannan. In this way, I hope to make Xu Bin of Gannan understand that the fate of the stunned Qing is a bag of collisions.

The agreement reached by the three governors through secret telegrams was soon discovered by the spy personnel arranged by Xu Jiajun to these governors before they could make it public. When Xu Bin, who was watching the progress of the Qianhu War in Hero City, learned that the Qiantang Army had really joined this time, and that he had also added a Pingfei Army, Xu Bin knew that this battle had been fought.

Although the change in the situation was somewhat unexpected by him and the staff group, Xu Jiajun, who had already controlled the situation in Donghu, was completely unafraid of the union of the three armies. Moreover, with Wang Ersa in charge of commanding the campaign to Qianhu, Xu Bin believed that it was only a matter of time before he captured Qianhu Dao.

As for the coalition formed by Pingfei Road and Qiantang Road, according to the data provided by the Ministry of Intelligence, it is very rare for the two provinces to organize an offensive force of 100,000.

It is undoubtedly whimsical for such a 100,000-strong ragtag army to break through the Haode defensive line carefully built by the Xu Jiajun. And what Xu Bin is thinking about now is not defense at all, but whether to form two more armies, counterattack Qiantang Road and Pingfei Road by the way, and further expand Shili?

After talking with Situ Baili about this idea, the two of them based on the number of troops and numbers that Xu Jiajun had trained at present. On the whole, I feel that in the event of a war, as long as a conscription order is issued, Xu Jiajun can form two offensive troops of 100,000 people at any time, and there is no problem in terms of weaponry.

Winning down these two warlords who dared to take the initiative to come over and be beaten, Situ Baili and Xu Bin both felt that there was no problem. But the crux of the matter is that the civil affairs backbone that Xu Jiajun has trained in two years has little problem in controlling the three roads except Gannan Dao.

If it is a one-time, the territory of the Xu Jiajun will be expanded to more than five roads. It will not only cause a great change in the situation in the south, but also may arouse the vigilance of some outside shili. Therefore, after the two of them summed it up, they decided to take down the Pingfei Road, which foreigners did not pay much attention to, and opened the passage to the Central Plains battlefield by the way.

As for Qiantang Road, where foreign businessmen are more involved, it gave the other party a painful lesson. After the battle is over, blackmail the other party by the way. Anyway, the affluence of this Qiantang Road is not inferior to today's Gannan Road. Of course, this kind of affluence refers to those local tyrants and gentry, not the common people at the bottom.

After determining a specific response policy, Xu Bin immediately issued a conscription order, and immediately transferred deputy personnel from the major main forces. Three main divisions of 15,000 men were reorganized, and after a short period of training, they immediately went to the front line of Shangjingfu, which bordered Pingfei and Qiantang.

Once the troops of these two provinces dare to launch a provocative battle, then the order given to the front-line defense troops in Qiantang is to kill and injure the opponent's living liliang as much as possible. The operational commander can launch a counterattack operation according to the situation, but he must ensure that he cannot enter the Qiantang realm too far, and everything is still mainly to preserve his strength and kill the enemy.

As for the troops stationed on the side of Pingfei Road, the order Xu Bin gave them was very simple, that is, based on the Shangjing Division. Cooperate with the two newly formed infantry divisions to directly cross the border to attack the Pingfei Army. And depending on the situation of the battle, completely cripple and clear the Shili of the Hirahi Army in the local area.

While Xu Jiajun was arranging these tasks, the two guys who were willing to do it when they finally got the money united with Huang Jizong, who urged them to send troops every day, and counted Xu Bin's several major crimes. In the end, with a savior-like face, he made a three-way joint crusade against Gannan and sent troops to power.

In the face of the joint military operations of the three provinces, the Qianhu Army, which is now under the threat of the Xu family's army, does not need to think that it is good to be able to hold its own territory. There was simply no way to send half of the troops to cross the border to attack the Xu family army that controlled Gannan. The only ones who can really confront the Xu Jiajun are the Qiantang Army and the Pingfei Army.

Among these two warlords in the Longhua State, one is famous for poor households and the other is famous for nouveau riche. A commanded unit, the same as the famous looting troops. A leading unit is a notoriously rich army. Can the 100,000-strong coalition army composed of two completely different styles and styles really teach a lesson from the Xu family army that ruled Gannan?

Under the attention of all parties, Xu Bin did not make any reaction to the call for electricity jointly issued by the three provinces. It's just that the revolutionary army in the vicinity of Gannan can clearly find that Xu Jiajun has patrolled the border between the two armies more often. Despite Xu Jiajun and the revolutionary army, the business channels established at present are still operating normally. But the troops on both sides were ordered from above to avoid clashes between the two armies as much as possible.

One does not want to be caught in such a senseless war, and the other does not want to provoke a strong opponent again. Therefore, the situation in Gannan Ganzhou Province, although tense, appears surprisingly calm. As for the people in Gannan, when they learned that the Three Dao Coalition forces had conquered their beloved Governor Xu. The children of Gannan, who finally lived a good life, immediately reported to the security office of the town office where they were located and enthusiastically reported to join the army.

In the face of these angry people, Xu Bin felt that his contribution to Gannan was not in vain, and soon issued a notice. Inform these people who are willing to be angry for him that the most important way for them to repay them at present is not to join the army. Instead, they should actively do a good job in production work, and give the commanders of front-line operations the greatest spiritual encouragement with full and reassuring enthusiasm for work.

At the same time, Xu Bin also suggested that the people of all provinces should not worry about the three alliances, and that the Xu family army had the responsibility and confidence to give these enemies who had destroyed the good situation in Gannan a heavy counterattack. They don't have to have any panic for some gossip that is unfavorable to the Xu family's army.

As for the saboteurs who spread rumors, the people loyal to the Gannan military government should be brought to justice as if they were reporting enemy agents, and these saboteurs who undermine the stability of Gannan should be brought to justice. This also made many people who were interested in sabotaging the situation in Gannan become cautious in their words and deeds in the face of this notice. Because, this notice was personally issued and promulgated by Xu Bin! (To be continued......)
