Chapter 465: Salt
Huang Chao looked at it and knew that the person who came was the eunuch of the original Tang Dynasty, and when the Son of Heaven fled, due to his low position, he was left in the palace city, and the eunuch Gong'e, who was in the same situation as him, was thousands of people.

When Huang Chao entered the Tang Palace, he naturally accepted them, and rewarded the older palace ladies to those who had meritorious service in the army, and as for the eunuchs, they chose the clever ones to serve by his side.
This little eunuch is like this, he is not very old, he is very clever, and he behaves loyally everywhere, and he is very pleasing to Huangchao.
But I didn't expect that today would be so unruly, and I would shrink my head when the Son of Heaven was deliberating.
Huang Chao's face suddenly sank.
"Unreasonable!
Unexpectedly, although the little eunuch was frightened, he did not leave, but walked into the main hall quickly, knelt on the ground, and reported a news.
"Your Majesty the cavalry, the lieutenant commander of the first army came from Miyagi, saying that there was news that 100,000 were in a hurry and needed to report to General Shang immediately, but in the barracks, I learned that General Shang had come up to Miyagi to participate in the court meeting, so he came to Miyagi...... General Liu, who was guarding the palace city, sent someone to ask for instructions outside the main hall...... The villain is bold, so he came to report ......"
"Oh?" Huang Chao was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to Shang Rang.
Shang Rang was also stunned, since he took refuge in Huangchao, he knew that his descendants were different from Huangchao's Huang Jiajun after all, and even he himself was rarely suspicious, so he deliberately acted in a low-key manner, in addition to promoting men and horses to lead the whole army in the war, he rarely interacted with the generals in the army on weekdays, and strictly ordered the soldiers under his command to be careful and not to cause trouble for no reason, in fact, these generals under his command, since they took refuge in Huangchao, they are really regarded as being people with their tails between their legs, and they are cautious everywhere, Be kind to others, even if you are occasionally oppressed, most of them are mainly to swallow your anger.
But I didn't want to report the news at the court meeting today, and I chased him outside the palace, which really made Shang Rang scratch his head.
However, he also knew the cautious personality of his subordinates, and if it weren't for the urgency of the 100,000 things, Page would not have made such an outrageous move.
Thinking of this, Shang Rang first asked Huang Chao for guilt, and then reported it, which must be something important.
When Huang Chao heard this, he called in.
After a short time, Shang Rang's herald was brought into the main hall.
Huang Chao has seen this person, his name is Wang Bo, he was originally a subordinate of Shang Junchang in the Salt Gang Ruijin Hall, since Wang Xianzhi raised the army, he has been following Shang Junchang, and later Shang Junchang died, he became a herald under Shang Rang, and at the same time, he also served as an official of the Chinese army under Shang Rang, which can be regarded as the descendant of the Shang family brothers.
As soon as Wang Bo entered the main hall, after saluting, he raised his eyes to look at Shang Rang, and was about to get close to reply, but was stopped by Shang Rang, and asked him to report directly.
Wang Bo didn't say anything more, and directly told the news he knew.
As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar in the Taiji Palace.
The armies of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty are moving faster than they imagined!
Zheng Zheng is in Fengxiang to rectify the Fengxiang army, and he will be pulled out in a few days, so naturally there is no need to say more.
What's more, Zheng Zheng spread the word to the world in the name of the commandery of all the armies and camps on all sides of the capital, and jointly fought against the thieves.
According to Wang Bo's intelligence, the other generals of the Tang Army, after getting the text, followed one after another and were ready to move.
When he heard that Chang'an was lost, he immediately cried bitterly, and did not wait for the edict, and directly began to rectify the Yiwu army.
Youzhou Assassin Shi Tuoba Sigong, together with Yan Yanjiedu envoy Li Xiaochang, allied to protect the Tang Dynasty and crusade against Huangchao, and is now in Dunzhou, ready to attack at any time.
Fengtian Town's envoy Qi Kejian sent people to Fengxiang and agreed with Zheng Zheng that once the Fengxiang army sent troops, the Fengtian army would also attack at the same time.
......
All of a sudden, the situation in the world was surging, and the loyal ministers and good generals of the Tang Dynasty seemed to have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain overnight.
This made Huang Chao and others very depressed, they raised troops with Wang Xianzhi in the first year of Qianfu, tossing until now, it has been five or six years, and I haven't seen how many generals of the Tang Dynasty are loyal to state affairs, but there is Song Wei in front of them, and there are Gao Biao in the back, so that Huang Chao's understanding of the leading generals of the Tang Dynasty is all on supporting the army and self-respect, and I really haven't seen many people who dare to die, to be honest, from the standpoint of Huang Chao and others, the trouble caused to them by the soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty is not as good as a Yang Fenglou.
As a result, to this day, a Zheng Ji has passed the word, which makes Huang Chao feel like a thousand people are pointing out.
The news of Wang Bo's final report was also the most heart-wrenching for Huang Chao and others.
Wang Chongrong is also the opposite.
Wang Chongrong was originally the queen of the Hezhong Festival of the Tang Dynasty, and when Huangchao conquered Tongguan, he had already surrendered to Huang, which can be regarded as the earliest prince of the Tang Dynasty to surrender to Huangchao in the local feudal towns.
After getting Wang Chongrong's surrender, Huang Chao was overjoyed, compared to the Jinwu general Zhang Zhifang's surrender, it can only bring symbolic meaning, Wang Chongrong not only set an example for later generations, but also gave Huang Chao a big gift -
Salt!
More precisely, salt profits.
When it comes to Yanli, we can't help but talk about the particularity of Hefang Town among all the towns in Datang.
Its special feature lies in the fact that the two most important salt ponds in the Tang Dynasty, Xie County and Anyi, are located in Hezhong Town.
These two salt ponds not only provide salt for Chang'an and Luoyang, but also provide salt profits for the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, two salt ponds in Xie County and Anyi provided 1 million guan of salt water to Datang every year, and it could reach 1.5 million guan at the peak, and the overall financial income of Datang in a year was only 13 million guan!
In other words, these two salt ponds alone have solved nearly one-tenth of Datang's financial revenue!
Wang Chongrong led the town of Hezhong to surrender to Huang, how could he not make Huang Chao ecstatic?
Moreover, whether it is the eight Huangchao brothers or the Jianghu experts from the salt gang, they all have a unified identity, and they are smugglers over there.
To talk about how they run the world, they probably don't know.
But to ask them how the salt is is good, it is simply a thing imprinted in the soul, and they never dare to forget it for a moment!
But success is also salt, and defeat is also salt.
It was precisely because Huang Chao and others knew so much about Yanli that they also accelerated their plundering of Wang Chongrong.
In Wang Bo's report, Wang Chongrong couldn't stand the repeated oppression, so he rebelled, and even took out salt profits to reward the soldiers, preparing to go to Chang'an and Huangchao to fight to the death.
In fact, when Shang Rang analyzed the situation in Chang'an just now, one thing was not right, the reason why Huang Chao was able to raise troops in Chang'an was not to rely on the money and grain of the rich family's family at all, but to rely on the two salt ponds in the river, which was where his greatest confidence lies.
Now, Wang Chongrong's reversal is tantamount to cutting off Huangchao's largest economic source.
Huang Chao sat on top of the main hall, and for a while, he was silent. (To be continued.) )
