Section 33: Commercial Espionage
readx;
Xie Changyang never thought that his enemy would play such a beautiful hand under his nose, leaving himself and the tens of thousands of troops led by him stupidly outside Hanzhong City and waiting for the surrender of the Taiping Army, until the Lin family's flame Tengzhu Banner flew at the head of Hanzhong City, he realized that he had fallen for the Lin family and the Taiping army to play a delaying strategy, but at this time he reacted too late, with the addition of the two divisions of the Sanjiang Lin family, even if the Tiannan Army was stronger than the other party, if it was better than the other party, if it wanted to take the Hanzhong Mansion City casually, it would become a flower in the mirror。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xie Changyang and Wen Na, who were teased by this, were not willing to give up, but the Lin family quickly took over the city defense when the two divisions in the city of Hanzhong Mansion had borrowed their own side and had not yet responded, and immediately prepared for battle, and it can be clearly found from the layout of the army at the head of the city that the Lin family has completely controlled the city of Hanzhong, not only the original city defense facilities have been strengthened, but also long-range catapults and heavy crossbow arrows have also gone to the city, which is obviously only the Lin family has this strength to equip these defensive weapons, although the Taiping army is powerful for a while, but this kind of heavy weapons has not been accumulated for many years。
Seeing that the city of Hanzhong Mansion is already in full swing, but such a vast piece of fertile land allows the Lin family to carry out intrigues and tricks, and his own side has run thousands of miles but ends up like this, whether it is Xie Changyang and Wen Na, they are unwilling, but they want to forcibly attack the city, but they don't know how much it will cost, and they are afraid that the seventy or eighty thousand people in their hands are only ten difficult to bargain for.
On March 8, 697 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Xie Changyang led the army to retreat 100 miles, in order to resist the threat of the Lin family in Hanzhong, Xie Changyang built a city in Yongchuan Town, an important town 100 miles away from the city of Hanzhong, built a city in Yongchuan, implemented the city building plan, and announced that Yongchuan would build a new mansion no less than Hanzhong, Xie Changyang also collected the local gentry who were attached to the Lang family, and announced that a large area of land in the southwest of the actual control area would be included in the jurisdiction of Yongchuan, so that the eighteen towns of Hanzhong were crossed out in one breath and six towns belonged to Yongchuan management, in fact, a new force has been formed to occupy the southwest of the Hanzhong Basin。
On March 18, 697 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the Northwest Army, which had withdrawn its troops to Jianmen Pass and the northern key mouth of Surabaya, suddenly informed the Lin Lang family in Hanzhong and Yongchuan that in view of the tense situation in the Hanzhong Basin and the possibility of a civil war breaking out, the Northwest Military and Political Jiedu Embassy announced that Xinglong, Hechang, and Hechang, which were located in the eastern part of the Hanzhong Basin. The three towns of Tumen were temporarily controlled and managed by the Northwest Army at the Jianmen Pass, and the town of Shayuan, located in the northern part of the basin, was temporarily taken over and managed by the Northwest Army stationed in the Surabaya Ridge, and everything was decided after the situation in the Hanzhong Basin was stabilized.
The Northwest Military and Political Envoy actually didn't know about this decision, but when he learned that the Lang family was already at the top of Yongchuan Mountain, he felt that this was an opportunity, and he couldn't care much at this time, as long as he could control one more piece of territory, the supply of troops and the source of finance and taxation would be much more sufficient, and he must know which of the eighteen towns in Hanzhong Mansion was not a fat and oily land with a population of more than 80,000, which was many times stronger than the towns and markets in Xikang and the Northwest Prefectures, even if he could control one town, it would be good.
When he received the letter from Shenai, Wu Feng was discussing with Xiao Tang and Su Qin in the study about the system reform of the three prefectures of Longdong, Lulong and Xikang.
"Look, we're not done yet, and this rabbit in the house is still causing trouble for me. Wu Feng smiled and shook the urgent secret letter in his hand, "This rabbit cub is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, the situation in Hanzhong is already tense, and he is still fanning the flames on both sides." ”
After receiving the secret letter handed over, Xiao Tang smiled and handed it to Su Qin next to him with a smile, Su Qin also laughed when he saw it, "This is a good thing, aren't the Lin family and the Lang family in a panic, just let them move their muscles and bones and fight a good fight, at least so that they don't think about it." ”
"Yes, this house is really clever enough, seeing the confrontation between the two powerhouses in the basin, there is an opportunity, then good, just come to engage in such a temporary reading power, impartiality, the four towns have become our peripheral bases, you must know that these four towns can not be underestimated, this is the most fertile land in the land of Kansai, the four towns must have a population of about 300,000, can be worth half of the small government, and they are all high-yield areas with developed agriculture, we dare not say that it is of great benefit to our northwest, but at least it is also a little helpful, at least the food of the entire Xikang Mansion does not need us to worry about it。 Xiao Tang immediately picked up the conversation, his analysis of the problem has always been from the economic and financial point of view, Xikang farmland is barren, suitable for pasture growth, animal husbandry potential is great, but the grain is insufficient, must be imported from other places, and the northwest due to the geological soil, after increasing the development of agriculture and water conservancy, grain is only self-sufficient, and even with the growth of population, it is necessary to import a part from the interior of the empire, this has always been the most worrying thing for Xiao Tang, in recent years, grain reserves have always been the top priority of the work of the War Readiness Administration, not only a large backlog of funds, but also bring huge pressure to transportation and warehousing。 In this way, not only did it solve the food problem in Xikang at once, but also gave the Jianmen Pass and Surabaya Ridge garrisoned by the Northwest Army a buffer zone, which was of course a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
"Hehe, do you feel a little difficult to explain to Miss Lin?" Su Qin seemed to have seen through his boss's secret, and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it's nothing, when I asked, I deduced that it was Xiao Tang's own opinion, I went to North Luzon to inspect, and when I knew it, it was already a boat, so I had to laugh and accept it. Wu Feng scratched his scalp, smiled a little awkwardly, and said in a big way.
"My lord, putting the blame on his subordinates is not the proper demeanor of a superior person. Xiao Tang smiled and shook his head, how could there be such a boss who actually put the responsibility on his subordinates and pretended not to know.
"Hehe, in a hurry, then I can't take care of a lot, Xiao Tang, you have accepted it for me once, but if the Lin family really came to ask, it is reasonable, at the moment in the basin, the strength of the Lang family is superior, do their Lin family have the confidence to be able to control these market towns on the edge? I don't think so. Wu Feng shrugged and smiled, "I think the two of them don't have the mind to take care of us at this time, the Lin family is thinking about how to get Xie Changyang out of Hanzhong, the Lang family, naturally they are thinking about how to gain a foothold in Yongchuan, and we have to survive in this crack." ”
As he was talking, Wu Feng casually picked up a secret report again, "Look, it's not that we're hitting other people's attention, people are also trying to take advantage of us." Diao Su's security department and the Qingyang Internal Affairs Bureau teamed up to capture a spy of the Lin family, but this guy didn't come to listen to our military and internal affairs intelligence, but it was the idea of our Economic Development Agency. ”
"Economic Development Agency?" Xiao Tang and Su Qin are a little incomprehensible, this Economic Development Agency is usually responsible for the development of industry, commerce and agriculture in the county, and the introduction of capital merchants, these things are above board, and they seem to have something to do with state secrets, are these guys dizzy and in the wrong place?
"Well, that's right, don't look at me with that kind of surprise, I'm not wrong, they are not wrong, it is the Department of Science and Technology Development under the Economic Development Agency, and their vision is not ordinary evil. Wu Feng stood up and paced Bu Po with some pride: "It seems that the achievements of our Science and Technology Development Department have attracted the attention of people with a heart, but fortunately, I have already taken precautions and specially arranged for Mo Lun and Diao Su to send people to keep an eye on them. ”
Xiao Su and the others both reacted a little, and Xiao Tang was even more nervous, "What is their purpose? Who sent them? How would they know that it is the research result of our Science and Technology Development Division?"
"Hmph, that guy refused to admit it at first, and then Diao Su and they used a big punishment to confess, it should be sent by the Lin family, the purpose, but it is not limited to which one, but we use to improve the latex skin on the carriage or refine the spring steel sheet should be their main goal, I think the success of our improved carriage has caused a sensation, naturally some people will think of this aspect, now the Qingyang Wei family's Pentium car shop has fully adopted the new technology provided by the Science and Technology Development Division, and the business is far more prosperous than before, the passenger shuttle bus can reach as far west as Selmus in the west of Punjab, and as far as Robin City, the capital of Luzon, in the southwestThe empire has direct access to major cities, the north has been connected to the Beiling seashore, and the freight chartered cars are rented out in large quantities, especially the porcelain merchants and kiln owners in Bonan, which are in short supply, and now once the glass factory is put into large-scale production, I think it will stimulate the demand for this kind of improved carriage. Wei Dongchen bet on the right treasure this time, and immediately placed an order for thousands of vehicles, and now the major vehicle manufacturers in Jinzhou are working overtime for his Wei family, and even the War Readiness Administration can't line up for orders, if it weren't for the fact that there is a decree stipulating that the military has priority in ordering, I'm afraid that our War Readiness Administration will not know how to queue up until the Year of the Monkey. "Wu Feng since the Science and Technology Development Department and the War Readiness Administration jointly developed Tongbai poison gas in the Longdong War after the great success, the interest in the Science and Technology Development Department has become more and more great, every time I return to Qingyang, I always have to take time to inspect the Science and Technology Development Department, and put forward some specific requirements and suggestions, and the Science and Technology Development Department of a group of people see that the top boss values them so much, and they are even more proud to do these things that seem to be a little unprofessional in the eyes of outsiders.
