Chapter 153: Soldiers

Jiang Wang didn't know about other places, but at least in Jiacheng City, Deacon Qian's escape was only spreading in a small area after all, and the "work" of the Four Seas Business Alliance here continued.

It is mainly based on the warehouses that were established in various places when it was first settled.

In places outside Qingyang Town, the so-called "work" is nothing more than the person in charge of the warehouses in various places, how to sell these materials at a high price without starving too many people to death - even if it is weak, the official Yangguo has a bottom line that the people must not starve to death.

All the money and property that could be taken away were taken away by Deacon Qian, leaving only a large amount of materials to hoard in warehouses around the country.

Ironically, the new city lord of Jiacheng was still hesitant to deal with the charter, and did not take over the materials at the first time, after all, the other party was the Four Seas Business Alliance of the Qi State. Like many officials in the Yang Kingdom, he still harbored illusions about the Qi Kingdom.

After all, I have been a dog for so many years, and many times, I seem to have regarded myself as the owner.

The new city lord of Jiacheng, surnamed Shi Mingjing. More than half a hundred years old, many years. The reason why I was able to pick up the position of the city lord of Jiacheng was purely because of another layer of relationship.

He is actually the righteous son of the concubine of the fourth room of Rizhao County!

I don't know how I got it.

In short, homeopathy has become the righteous son of Rizhao County Shou. With such a "relative" relationship, he was able to take office.

Now in the chaotic Yang Kingdom, no one cares about such a thing.

At least in Jiacheng, there is no shortage of supplies. At the beginning of the disaster relief, the Four Seas Business Alliance mobilized a large number of materials and stockpiled them in various places with strong mobilization capabilities.

Jun didn't see him in Qingyang Town, the bald guard Chen Yong and they left, and the warehouse left behind still supported tens of thousands of townspeople.

On July 27, under the operation of Deacon Qian, resources were mobilized to Qingyang Town one after another.

July 28th. The new city lord of Jiacheng has just woken up from a big dream, forbidding the circulation of materials in various parts of the city, taking over all materials in the name of the city lord's mansion and dispatching them.

And the people of the Four Seas Business Alliance, except for the part that ran away, most of the rest were arrested by him, tortured, and questioned about their property.

However, it didn't matter to Jiang Wang, the material warehouse in Qingyang Town was already full. At least enough for the people of Qingyang Town for March.

No matter what the commander-in-chief of the Qi army thought, it was impossible for the war to drag on until November.

By July 29, the news that the Qi army was trapped in the border had spread in an all-round way.

On the official letter of state, the intention expressed by the Qi State is still to help the Yang Kingdom block the mutant plague and maintain the security of the Eastern Regions.

In addition to not allowing people to enter or leave, it was as if they had no plans to fight. Of course, it also gives Yang enough time to organize the army - the confidence embodied in this is especially desperate.

The people of the Yang Kingdom actually knew very well that they didn't have a strong army with real combat effectiveness at all. Not to mention the last strong army buried by the previous monarch.

In the past few years alone, following the Qi army to send troops, in the previous wars continue to reduce the number of troops and lose blood, in the end, what was finally exchanged was not the soldiers after thousands of tempers, but only a large amount of financial rewards from the Qi State.

The Yang Kingdom seems to be getting richer and richer, and the treasury is getting more and more abundant, but its military strength is declining again and again.

It's a warm-boiled frog-style weakening. It's a pity that it wasn't until the army was locked up that many people discovered this.

Yang Jiande knew it very well, but because he saw it through, he couldn't refuse. The only result of refusal is to hasten the process of national annihilation.

So later, he gradually handed over his power and devoted himself to cultivation. On the one hand, it is hopeless in national affairs and relies on the extraordinary strength of individuals, and on the other hand, it is not a kind of evasion.

Also because the Yang State is weak, after Yang Jiande killed the prince, he did not immediately gather the army to fight to the death with the Qi army, but humbly begged to surrender, and did not hesitate to gamble on the face of the lord of the country, wanting to deceive Chongxuan Chuliang to Zhaoheng City, surround and kill him.

If the murderous slaughter can fall, it will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the entire Yang Kingdom. Yang Jiande himself can also buy a certain amount of time to move around. or seek support, or win over allies, or create contradictions within the Qi people...... In short, it is the only way to think of a breakthrough in the current situation.

But Chongxuan Chu Liang didn't pay attention to it at all, and sat firmly in the handsome tent, and the eight winds did not move. It seems that it is no longer as brave as it used to be, but it makes people feel more desperate.

Let's not talk about the big picture. Let's just talk about Rizhao County.

When people in all parts of Yangguo were panicking, Rizhao County guarded, and Song Guang, who was dying of old age, made another "wonderful move".

He even forcibly requisitioned the materials of the cities under his rule, and demanded that the rations kept by each place should not exceed the needs of seven days, and all of them should be handed over to the county government for unified distribution, so as to stabilize the people of the county by strictly controlling the rations.

He also recovered a huge amount of money in a fixed amount, saying that it was to raise the army and protect the land. But because there is no relationship with the Yang Court, there is no official name. Privately, it is only called the "national salvation tax".

This series of actions is no longer dazzling, it is simply blinding and deaf.

As far as the unified dispatch of rations is concerned, the difficulty of dispatching each city in the name of the city lord's mansion and dispatching the whole county in the name of the county government is no longer at the same level. It is completely easy to seek difficulties and waste personnel.

Song Guang is not stupid.

can be a county guard, how can Song Guang be a fool with empty strength?

Although many of the decisions he made seemed silly at the time of Yangguo's shaky time.

But this kind of "stupidity" is relative to Yang Guo, but for himself, it is a very wise decision.

If Yang Guo can recover, he can also be regarded as stabilizing the situation.

If there is no tomorrow in Yangguo, he has grasped the resources. To put it mildly, you can sell it at a good price.

It's just that in Jiang Wang's position, the feeling is not so comfortable.

Because the official document of the Jiacheng City Lord's Mansion has been issued to Qingyang Town.

Of course, Jiang Wang ignored it and tore it to pieces on the spot.

He is not rich himself, and it is difficult to fill the desire of the old man in Rizhao County. As for the materials hoarded in Qingyang Town, they were the lives of more than 30,000 people in the town, and it was impossible for him to let go.

But what he didn't expect was ......

Just one day later, Shi Jing, the new city lord of Jiacheng, actually mobilized the city guards and sent troops to Qingyang Town!!

......

Outside Qingyang Town, the army lined up.

The general has not yet drawn his sword, and the murderous aura has been chaotic.

The Jiacheng City Guard Army was full of 10,000 people, the Xi family was fully evacuated from Yangguo, and some middle and high-level generals left, but it was impossible for the army to take them away. Some talent has been lost, but the general structure is still there.

No matter how much Shi Jing relied on nepotism, he also knew the importance of military power, so the first thing he did when he took office was to control the army, and he really achieved results.

Under the order of his father-in-law Song Guang, the city lords of each city counted him the most actively.

However, the entire Jiacheng metropolitan area, as the hardest hit area of the plague epidemic, has experienced the evacuation of the Xi family and the harvest of the Four Seas Business Alliance, and it is really not rich, and there is no third of oil in the ground.

He led the army to Qingyang Town, one is to kill monkeys and set an example for chickens and establish the authority of the new city lord. The second is that he got the exact news that the Qian Deacon of the Four Seas Business Alliance swept a lot of money and hid in Qingyang Town.

Of course, he wouldn't know about Jiang Wangqiang's killing of Xi Munan.

To be on the safe side, he brought 5,000 city guards with him this time. It's all elites.

Excluding the garrisons that had to maintain order in all parts of the city, they were almost already in full swing. Not to mention, he also invited two peak powerhouses of the Dragon Realm from the county government to join the army through personal connections.

All kinds of preparations, just for a battle, foolproof!
