Li Junxian has realized his situation, and at this time, he can only find a way to survive in the future storm by firmly controlling the border army under his command in his own hands.

People are selfish, and no one is an exception.

Even though Li Junxian still has a trace of illusions about the future, how can he not understand his own situation?

Coupled with the fact that Li Er has ignored himself for so long, he has realized something.

At this time, the only one who can save him is himself.

Don't forget, for so long, the military guys haven't sent him a word, and it's clear that he has been abandoned by the military.

Although he doesn't know why this is happening, his years of military career have made his premonition of crisis particularly strong.

"What does the general want to do?" At this moment, a subordinate asked.

They are soldiers of the border army, although they do not want to be the pawns of others, but many times, they have no choice.

This may be the sadness of people like them.

"What can General Ben do? As a soldier, what the military order points to is where the blade goes, and this is our life. Li Junxian smiled, "But if all the brothers can trust me, it will still work to find a way to live." ”

Hearing Li Junxian's words, everyone glanced at each other, and obviously got the answer from each other's eyes, and immediately bowed down and said: "As a soldier, everything naturally listens to what the general says." ”

None of them are fools, if there is a chance to survive, who is willing to die, the key is that this war really has no meaning for them.

Besides, this group of them, even as pawns for people to be used, belong to the kind that cannot be put on the stage.

So what's the point?

……

On the other side, Liu Shuyi had already led his army from Shanzhou to aid Taohe County.

As the assassin of Shanzhou, and with Li Ke's secret support, now he controls all the military and political power in Shanzhou, and after receiving Zhang Liang's military order, this guy went south non-stop.

In fact, he had already assembled a large army and was ready to rush to the aid at any time, but he only lacked a holy decree or order before.

With the death of Liu Wenjing, the Liu family was already withered, but now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to hug Li Ke's thigh.

If they can defeat the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield of the Great Zhao Dynasty, then the myth of the Ming Dynasty's invincibility for so many years will be self-defeating, which will be of great benefit to them in the future.

"Hey, you shouldn't be here right now." Seeing Liu Shuyi, Liu Shuyi, as his elder brother, sighed rarely, and said, "My Liu family is our brother, if we all fold here, the future of the Liu family is worrying." ”

He was actually a little envious of Du Chuke and these people at this time, no matter how heavy their losses were, but after all, there were still Du He people who could support their entire family.

People in this era still have a very serious concept of family.

Compared to later generations, it is simply incomparable.

"There is such a chance left and right, if my brother loses, it will be difficult for my Liu family to turn over." Liu Shuyi said disapprerovingly, "If it happens this time, then everything is easy to say, if you lose, everything will be over." ”

He can see it, just this chance, if he wins, his Liu family is rich and noble, if he really loses, then everything is really over.

"Forget it......" Liu Shuyi sighed when he heard this, and said, "This time, let our brothers fight again for the Liu family!"

When Aya was alive, how brilliant was my Liu family?

But now, hehe......"

He can't say anything more, he still understands his brother, although he has served outside the country over the years, there is no lack of dissatisfaction with His Majesty today, and if it goes on like this, the future is worrying, so it is better to take this opportunity to gamble.

In any case, it is much easier to rely on Li Ke's big ship than for them to fight alone.

Saying that, Liu Shuyi introduced it into the inner hall, and at this time, Du Chuke and Wang Renyou were all there, including Quan Wanji, and he didn't return to Chang'an.

Not long ago, Li Ke had already sent a letter, asking Quan Wanji to stay in Taohe County and cooperate with Du Chuke and others.

In the final analysis, Li Ke actually doesn't fully trust these guys, he has the right to be in charge, he has to be more down-to-earth.

"Liu Tingshi worked tirelessly to come to my Taohe County, and it should be the blessing of my Taohe County." As soon as he saw Liu Shuyi, Du Chuke immediately began to praise it.

Officialdom is like this, the sedan chair carries people.

When Liu Shuyi heard this, he also politely bowed his hand and said: "Don't be serious, now that foreign enemies are coming, as my Tang courtier, how can I sit back and watch the thieves deceive my Tang Dynasty!"

This time, this official came to the aid of Taohe County under the military order of General Manager Zhang, and will help Taohe County to annihilate the thieves in one fell swoop. ”

"Alright, let's be practical." Quan Wanji saw that they were endless, so he said, "This time Liu Tingshi came to help, Da Ming decided to receive the news, and he will definitely send additional reinforcements, and the battle in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to fight."

Although the old man is extremely disdainful of Daming's style, he has to admit that many times, Daming's execution is better than my Datang.

That's why kings have aspired to autocracy. ”

The execution of the Ming Dynasty is the most terrifying among the countries they know.

Even Datang is difficult to match.

"Indeed." Liu Shuyi said, "Over the years, the Changming Restaurant in Daming has spread all over the Tang Dynasty and has become their intelligence outpost, but until now, we have no evidence to prove this, otherwise we can attack from this aspect." ”

"Don't fight the idea of Changming Restaurant." Quan Wanji heard the words and said, "There was news from Chang'an before, saying that it was because the people besieged Changming Restaurant, which made Fang Yi love those guys, sent troops to suppress the people, and fought a big battle with Liang Jianfang.

It is reported that there are hundreds of thousands of people who rely on the Ming industry to live, and the king of Shu secretly sent someone to count it, and the real number is afraid that there are millions of people.

If we really force Daming to stop all business activities in Datang, there will be 100,000 people in Datang who will lose the opportunity to support their families, and behind this, there may be 100,000 families.

At that time, if they make trouble, it is easy to form a new civil uprising, and the world is in turmoil, which is definitely not what we and His Royal Highness the King of Shu want to see. ”

He is an old scholar and a good man, and although he disagrees with Li Chengqian's political views, he definitely does not want to affect the livelihood of so many people for his political opinions.

Moreover, if such a thing really happens, they can't solve it, and Li Ke can't solve it.

If something happens, it's really a crime that can't be excused for death.

"If you really want to talk about it, at this time, the only winner is our county guard, and now, he really grabbed the share that originally belonged to Daming, Daming's business, not to mention being devastated, but it was indeed curbed by him." Seeing this, Wang Renyou said, "It's still smart, and if you don't make a sound, your political achievements will come out." ”

"Hmph......" Hearing this, Liu Shuyi immediately said disdainfully, "If it weren't for my brother blocking the border of Tang Ming, he would have this opportunity, in the final analysis, he is just an opportunistic person, and we disdain to be with him!" ”

For Xu Jingzong, they really don't look down on them, mainly because this guy does anything, he feels a little bit of a thief.

It doesn't fit the mind of a big husband like them!

"In any case, people have indeed seized the opportunity, and this is what they are capable of." Wang Renyou shook his head and said.

He is the county man in charge of all this, but when people say that he will be empty, this is worth pondering.

You know, he has the support of the scholar family behind him, but what is the result?

He heard that Cui Hao, the Cui family of Cui, has now repeatedly visited Xu Jingzong.

It's not that he's abandoned, it's clear that in the eyes of those people, profit is everything.

"Don't talk about that." Du Chuke waved his hand and said, "Maybe you still don't know, although the blockade of the Tang and Ming borders has had a certain degree of impact on the commerce of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the impact is really not big.

The old man only received the news yesterday, saying that all the workshops of Daming have now been transformed, most of them have been transformed into military industry, and some are for people's livelihood.

And all the orders come from the Ministry of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty.

It is reported that just a few days ago, the Ministry of Commerce of Daming and a workshop signed an order contract of 400,000 yuan.

And that's just a workshop.

Over the years, Daming has relied on the development of commerce and has really accumulated a lot of wealth.

In addition, now people use Daming treasure banknotes, and there is no need for copper coins or gold and silver settlement, and people are not short of money at all!

The most terrible thing is that many businessmen in my Datang are now buying in Taohe County, and they are also using Daming treasure banknotes, and no one has refused to accept them, do you know what this means? ”

"Do you want to say that if Da Ming is ruthless, as long as he frantically prints his Da Ming treasure banknotes, he can buy my Da Tang short?" Wang Renyou asked.

Since the merchant Taohe County Cheng, he has really made up for this knowledge.

Nodding, Liu Shuyi said: "That's the reason, now there are only shops in the Ming family that can exchange Daming treasure banknotes, if these shops are closed one day, and there are people holding a large number of Daming treasure banknotes in their hands, what should they do?"

In the early years, when the Ming treasure banknotes were issued, we should have banned them from circulating in the Tang Dynasty......

This is another reason why His Royal Highness the King of Shu did not dare to let Changsun Chong stop all commercial activities of the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"If we do, it's not necessarily bad for us." Liu Shuyi said, "When the time comes, encourage those people with Daming treasure money in their hands to go straight to Daming." ”

"If only it were that simple." Du Chuke shook his head, "Don't forget, the Daming treasure banknote is legal currency in Daming, and people can circulate it, if you really want to go to Daming with a large amount of treasure money, people may sweep the couch to greet you."

When the time comes, those people will see Daming like this, and then compare with Datang, it will be us who will be in trouble? ”

Speaking of this, everyone also sighed.

Playing with business, they are really not smart enough.

In this regard, Daming's advantages are too obvious.

"What do you mean?" At this moment, Liu Shuyi said, "The old man is confused, aren't we discussing sending troops to the Zhao Palace?" How did you get all this?

The top priority now is to take down the Great Zhao Royal Court, and this is what we should discuss, right? ”

Although he is a civil official, in essence, this guy is a rough man.

In fact, he is not very interested in these things, and his current thoughts are just a little bit and make a contribution!

Restoring family glory, that's what he's all about.

"Brother, you fought with the River Pouring Army before, how are they fighting?"

Hearing Liu Shuyi ask, Liu Shuyi recalled for a moment, and then said: "One word, brave!" ”

He is different from Liu Shuyi, he is not a military general, in the early years when Liu Wenjing was brilliant, the cultivation of their brothers was a literature and a martial arts, of course, this is the focus, in fact, there are training in all aspects.

"It's normal." Liu Shuyi said when he heard this, "Since they have served the Ming Dynasty, they have also risen to the top, and the treatment of the Ming soldiers has always been the best.

Therefore, every time there is a big war, no matter what the ability is, the courage has become the patent of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only the river army, but almost the army of the Ming Dynasty. ”

He still knows a lot about the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and since he joined Li Ke, he has paid special attention to these things.

"You may not have calculated it carefully, but the old man has calculated it before." Liu Shuyi said, "The standard configuration of a single soldier in the Ming Dynasty is a crossbow, a hundred arrows, a short thorn, and a horse lance.

That's it, not counting the armor on their bodies, the cost of the ordnance used in actual combat alone is not less than ten times.

There are even many people who are equipped with a stone bow and a pair of bows, and some even have binoculars.

Not to mention the war horses, the most inferior ones are one person and two horses.

Like a lot of elites, even one person and three horses are equipped. ”

It can be seen that Liu Shuyi has indeed worked hard, and God knows how many scouts he has lost in order to understand these things.

However, Wang Renyou and Du Chuke, who heard this information for the first time, were all in a trance when they heard the words.

"So ruthless? If it were all equipped, it would take at least hundreds!

This is just one person, you know, there are hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings in the Ming Dynasty, how much astronomical does it really have to be equipped? ”

Du Chuke was a little frightened, although he was a person who had seen the world, but this number still surprised him.

"That's just our algorithm." Quan Wanji shook his head and said, "But for Da Ming, it's not actually like that, you know, their ordnance is all made by themselves, just like the telescope, although it is hard to find money in the Chang'an market now, but since they have become the standard configuration of scouts, it means that the cost must not be high."

As for other ordnance, they have a sound industrial system and can do everything quickly, which is the core competitiveness of Daming......"

After speaking, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Industrial system?

Core competitiveness?
