Chapter 537 Daily
In the next few days, the entire Luanfeng City was relatively calm, and returned to a normal state of life from the sad atmosphere, not because everyone was forgetful, but everyone buried this sadness in their hearts, after all, people want to look forward, and the days still need to go forward as usual.
In the past few days, everyone has been busy with their own things, but there is a little warm feeling.
However, more people know that this short life is not easy to come by, and it is very likely that they will face a big war after a while.
As winter approached step by step, the grassland people were also more and more ready to move, whether it was to consume the excess population or to plunder, the days were getting closer and closer, and every day Chen Zheng Shen Kuo could always receive all kinds of news from the north.
The first to change was the various merchants, and in some of the major cities on the north side where the two sides were trading began to drop sharply, and many caravans were evacuated in a hurry.
Some people may ask, isn't the best time to make war money when there is a war, why don't they stay to make money and run away?
First of all, the first point is that war money has to be earned by life, and when life is gone, don't think about any dream of war money.
The two sides are about to go to war, and the atmosphere is getting more and more tense, and although many times it is said that war makes civilians go away, very little can actually be done.
Moreover, once the war starts, it is very likely that the natives who remain in the enemy camp will be targeted for various reasons, or even killed, which is very likely.
There is also the second point that you have to have the strength and the way to make war money, and it is not that you can resell the materials if you want to, this matter seems simple, but in fact there is a hidden crisis.
Don't think about the people in the small business, once the war starts, they can't hold their goods without strength, no one on the Beiyan side will do such a thing, but the grassland people are not less, those who used to be iron, now the grass on the grave has to be a foot high.
And the war money is so easy to earn, if you send some medicine and food and other normal transactions, it's okay, but if you engage in small actions and the like, such as raising prices, contacting enemy countries, etc., sorry, once discovered, the day when your neck head will say goodbye to you is not far off.
Therefore, except for the big merchants with confidence, the rest of the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce began to shrink, and began to move south instead of moving closer to the north, knowing that if the business suffered losses during the war, no one would admire you.
Especially the Green Crow Chamber of Commerce can not have a large number of activities here, their strength is not strong enough, and it is not very peaceful along the way, Hu Chun and the three brothers and sisters of the Zhao family discussed, except for some chamber of commerce activities in the south to continue, the northern ones are all lurking, and they are constantly inquiring for Chen Zheng to find out the news in the north.
Their name in the Chamber of Commerce is true, but their real role is to provide information to Chen Zheng.
They went south to avoid trouble, who will find out the news? Therefore, they had to temporarily close the trade of the Green Crow Chamber of Commerce in the north, and began to hide and concentrate on gathering information.
Moreover, in various cities and villages close to the border gates, they have also begun to be vigilant to guard against the traces of steppe people that may appear at any time.
The large-scale team of the grassland people did not appear, such as the team of 3,000 people that Yan Xuelan exterminated before.
A dozen or dozens of sporadic discoveries were made, and these steppe people were often sent out to reconnoitre, and they entered Beiyan through various paths, over the mountains and mountains, and then observed the situation, and guided the direction of attack and provided intelligence to the grassland troops outside.
Even if these people are eliminated, the next group of people will come, and people are not precious to the two forces that are on the brink of war, but they are not much different from grass mustard.
Many people are accustomed to the existence of these people, and it has no effect on fighting, so let them see, anyway, the arrival of these people means that the large army of the grassland people will come at any time, and then everyone will fight with real knives and guns.
There is no quarrel, there is no escape, there is no unwillingness, everyone can already face it very calmly.
It can be said that such a similar thing happens every year, and the difference is only a matter of scale, and the blood feud between the people of Jianzhou and the people of the grassland for many years has not been resolved.
This is the frontier of the Northern Swallow, the barrier of the Northern Swallow.
Although no one hyped up such a thing, the people of Jianzhou had been actively prepared, and the years of struggle had made them know that it was useless to beg for mercy and run away, and that being a leading party could be abandoned at any time, and that only by rising up to resist and resisting the invasion of the steppe people was the right way.
Although there is no big change in the entire Luanfeng City, it is still tightly arranged, once the war starts, Yan Xuelan will definitely pull the team up to fight a dozen.
For this reason, both Luan Fengwei and Fengchun Camp began to step up training, and even the security team was the same.
Although the security forces do not go out of the city to fight, they must learn to use all kinds of equipment to defend the city, be familiar with the layout of the city defense, how to evacuate the masses, how to close the city gates, how to use the environment in the city to conduct street battles, and so on.
Thanks to Yan Xuelan's choice of the garrison's castle and transformed it into Luanfeng City, its facilities were originally designed for the garrison, so its outer city wall can be well defended, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Especially now that Luanfeng City has more internal personnel, and it is already a little saturated, it can't take in more people in a short period of time, unless they expand.
Now there are about 60,000 residents in the entire Luanfeng City, including men, women and children.
And Luanfeng City now has about 40,000 soldiers. Among them, 30,000 people are Yan Xuelan's Luan Fengwei, who is her main battle soldier, and among the remaining 10,000 people, 1,000 are in the Fengchun camp. The remaining 9,000 or so people are the security team, which is considered to be a half-soldier and half-peasant team, and they also have to conduct corresponding military training during the rest time of their work on weekdays.
