In ancient times, the conditions for fighting wars were limited and there was no high technology, so they could only play various conspiracies and tricks with thirty-six schemes.

The Dingyuan army of the original Qing Wangfu is claimed to have 300,000.

But Lin Xiaoman estimated that there were not so many, the old emperor regarded the dog man as a thorn in his side, and it was impossible to help him raise soldiers, and a Chuzhou could not support so many soldiers, Beiqing is now four states, according to the proportion of population, a total of 300,000 troops, it is already the sky.

Under the present conditions, who has the most troops is one of the important factors in determining the victory of the war.

The 300,000 troops of Beiqing had to be scattered in the surrounding counties, and the troops could only be dispersed.

Although the defenders of the city have an advantage, the pressure must be very high, and once the city is surrounded and there is no food, it will be completely cool.

The Northern Expeditionary Army has the entire southern part of the Great Cadre as a supply, and food is not a problem, and it is okay to surround it for more than a year.

Lin Xiaoman seriously suspected that the dog man couldn't hold it, so he turned the tiger away from the mountain. Fighting Xinzhou, I'm afraid it's just a false shot.

Without aerial photography, who knows how many troops he sent to fight NSW? Perhaps, it is a few thousand cavalry, lightly armed!

All cavalry, this can explain why in a short period of time, this person went to Xinzhou.

As for the next county seat, if there are thousands of defenders in the county, it will be up to the sky, and a martial arts master can kill a piece, as the son of Tiandao, Su Beici's dog man must be a martial arts master.

Of course, this is just Lin Xiaoman's speculation, and the parties themselves know the specifics, and there is no drone that can fly over to take pictures.

Yang Hanmo's intelligence system is relatively low, and the news is called rough and slow, of course, Lin Xiaoman thinks that it is already very awesome that Brother Cheap can develop such an intelligence system that covers the entire territory of Daqian.

And in addition to the messy north, there is also big news: the old emperor and Da Danyu on the steppe have reached a temporary truce.

In January next year, the two countries will hold friendly talks.

Although Da Dan Yu did not retreat, he did not continue to attack, and retreated to the city that had already been captured, and the war in the west finally stopped temporarily.

In winter, it is not conducive to marching and fighting, and it is said that the Northern Expedition army that originally entered Beiqing also rested on the spot. There was also a ceasefire in the new state, anyway, because winter was coming, and there was a temporary truce.

Of course, this is Yang Hanmo's intelligence, and no one knows whether the truce was stopped or not.

And as for next year?

Lin Xiaoman felt that the key was to see whether Da Qian and the Hu tribe could negotiate, once the two sides made peace, the old emperor would definitely concentrate his troops and horses to fight Beiqing.

However, shouldn't you want to cut the land and lose money to make peace?

Will there be a tax increase if you lose money?

Well, it's useless to think too much, it's none of their business.

In winter, everything is silent, and the earth seems to be in hibernation, and within the boundaries of Tongzhou, in the workshops of each village, it is in full swing.

And Lin Xiaoman is also not idle with a group of craftsmen to fire glass and glass.

As in the TV series, the windows of the buildings in Daqing are pasted with paper, and when the temperature is low in winter, the doors and windows are closed, which is called a dim.

Therefore, as soon as glass was born, it was an epoch-making masterpiece.

While making glass, Lin Xiaoman looked at the sky silently, what kind of danger did the wood have, her intuition did not feel anything abnormal, so making glass was probably within the allowable range of the Heavenly Dao.

As soon as December passed, in January, the snow began to melt, and the official road gradually resumed unblocked, and Lin Xiaoman made a plan.

Improve the intelligence system!

Intelligence is very important.

And to do intelligence, it is nothing more than two choices: one is a teahouse restaurant, and the other is a green building.

Qinglou or something, as a woman, Lin Xiaoman doesn't like it very much.

Therefore, she decided to open a teahouse restaurant, and opened the shop all over the whole Daqian, and although the glass was made, it was an exclusive one after all, and there were no glazed products in Daqian, and the poor and ordinary people used wood, pottery, porcelain, silverware, gold and jade for the rich and powerful.

At present, Tongzhou is basically completely closed with only entry and no exit, and news cannot be transmitted, while Youzhou and Huaizhou are also semi-closed.

Tongzhou is a big reform and development in full swing, Youzhou and Huaizhou are small actions in the dark, three states, but no one noticed. And once they go to other states to sell glass, they will definitely be investigated, so as soon as they trace back to the source and find out Yang Hanmo's head, their obscene development will be declared bankrupt.

Therefore, to meet domestic demand first, glass is supplied to Tongzhou first, then Youzhou Huaizhou, and finally export is considered.

And the teahouse restaurant, the winery, Lin Xiaoman has already built, but the output of various liquors is not so large, and transportation is a problem, it is best to use local materials to buy raw materials locally, as for how to attract business?

What a story!

As long as the story is exciting, an exclusive one, and the wine and food are not so bad, then the guests can only be repeat customers for a story.

And when there are many people, they have a chat after dinner, and that is the news channel!

Thinking of the story, Lin Xiaoman thought of printing books and promoting compulsory education!

Just do it, the paper has already been made by itself, as for printing, come on, movable type printing!

Daqian is still engraving printing, and Lin Xiaoman began to make movable type printing.

After inspecting the national conditions, the tastes of the people of Daqian have not yet developed into martial arts, but are more inclined to the style of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Lin Xiaoman happily memorized "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", she didn't have to copy it herself, she dictated, recorded the small history, and the historian's writing speed was much faster than her.

Once I wrote it, I sent it down and asked people to copy a few copies.

No way, it takes time to make a word model.

As soon as the first 10 times were written, Lin Xiaoman provided a few more special dishes, and Yang Hanmo took action, first of all, he sent someone to Fengzhou to open a tavern, as for why he chose Fengzhou?

Toyosu is rich!

Gather intelligence and make money! Excellent!

Strive to open 5 stores in Toyosu now, and then open them in the capital.

Just when the brothers and sisters were busy improving the intelligence system, they tried to complete the number of at least 50 stores within a year, and inserted eyeliner all over the country, and even entered the interior of Beiqing.

In mid-January, news came from Makishu.

One of the princes of the Hu people, with an envoy group, set off for the capital.

In Yang Hanmo's mouth, the Hu people were originally driven to the westernmost part by their cadres, and then about ten years ago, Meng He Dadan Yu unified the seven tribes of the grassland, and the Hu people became strong and strong, so they were bold and fat, and came to fight them.

If it weren't for the rebellion of Northern Jiangsu, who couldn't spare manpower, the Hu people would have been beaten back by them a long time ago, so there was no need for peace talks.

Of course, it has nothing to do with them about peace talks or anything, and the most important thing is to continue to develop their strength secretly.

In February, spring is coming, and spring ploughing is definitely a big deal.

If nothing else, this year, they will have a bumper harvest in Tongzhou, but this year is still relatively tight, because most of the harvest has to be reserved for seedlings, and the more seeds, the greater the next harvest.

Therefore, the exchange of salt for food must be carried out quietly and secretly.

After the spring ploughing was busy, the time entered April in a flash, and news came from the capital that the peace talks between the Daqian and the Hu tribe were successful, and the two sides reached a friendly armistice agreement.
