In his previous life, Zhao Bing once heard a sentence from an elder brother whose name he had forgotten, which meant: 'In the history of world development, whoever can obtain huge wealth can build a huge empire on it.' 'He thought this brother
That's great. Whenever you have money, it's easier to do things. Only with money can you recruit talents and expand your army. Besides, you have to have capital to do business! Now, whether I want to go to Qiongzhou or run away, I have no money.
It's absolutely impossible.
"I just heard what Mr. Wang said, and I know that the situation in Qiongzhou has deteriorated to such an extent. Now that many of us are on the island, it will definitely increase the burden on the local area, which will cause conflicts and is not conducive to our foothold. Therefore, before entering the station, I want to raise some military expenses and food. In a short period of time,
We will not compete with the officials and people on the island for profit during this time, so as to facilitate our administration, military expansion and war preparation." Zhao Bing thought for a while and replied.
When the old man asked Zhao Bing just now, he understood that these literati who are deeply influenced by traditional culture will never change their bad habits. They always like to talk about big principles to show off their righteousness. But they don't want to think about having no money to use it.
Why buy food and military pay? Even if everyone is of a high level and doesn't care about wages, you still have to prepare someone who can take advantage of them. No matter how much you instigate, you can't let people go hungry and fight with your bare hands!
Whenever a guest comes to your house, you know you can’t be empty-handed, so you should at least bring something with you. Now, I brought a large group of people with them and came to the door empty-handed. Not only did I not give them any gifts, but I also asked them to entertain them with delicious food and drinks.
Finally, he asked for something casually. Everyone knew that these people were here to snatch food from their mouths. If you take one bite, I will have to take one less bite. If it takes a short time, it may only make you lose face, but if it takes a long time, it will definitely cause trouble.
I have to drive you away.
This is the truth, and the old man must have a clear mind, but Zhao Bing can't say it directly now, otherwise the old man will think that he is vulgar, vulgar, and obscene, and he will not be able to escape if he is scolded, so he must be more reserved and speak his mind.
Being tall and tall shows that raising money is not to satisfy one's own selfish desires, but to be in a stable place and alleviate the concerns of local people.?
"His Highness's love for the people is admirable, but if His Highness doesn't raise money from the local government, where will it come from?" Ying Jieyan said, his solemn expression softening after hearing this, and he felt very happy in his heart, but he also had doubts about the money.
The court may give a little, but it will certainly not be too much. How to fill the gap cannot be done by two immortal masters passing on the ability to turn stone into gold to the prince!
"Rob!"
"Grab?!" Ying Jieyan was startled, but fortunately the old man had deep concentration and steadied his hand after shaking twice, so he didn't spill the tea. He just praised His Highness for thinking about the people, and he
How come you feel confused when you turn your back?
"Sir, I also think this method is feasible. It seems that heroes have the same idea!" Zhao Bing gave a thumbs up and laughed, but he felt even happier when he saw the old man gaping. Of course, he did not do this with any malice, but he just felt that the old man was speechless.
After becoming a master, he pretended to be serious in front of himself and acted like a teacher, which made him very uncomfortable. On a whim, he wanted to 'liven up' the atmosphere.
"Cough, cough..." Ying Jieyan coughed violently, but this was definitely not a cough to cover up embarrassment, but a breath blocked in his chest. He was also thinking in his heart, he just questioned his approach, why?
Does that mean that I agreed to rob the money? If this spreads out, wouldn’t it mean that I instigated His Highness to commit plunder? At that time, I was so full of words that I couldn’t explain it clearly. But when I peeked at His Highness, he looked so mean.
The look made him have to suspect that His Highness was setting a trap for him again!
"Sir, you also know that the imperial court is in financial difficulty. All the needs are obtained from local areas, and the areas covered by the decree are getting smaller and smaller, and the supply has become unsustainable. If we levy taxes again, it will make things worse for the people, and will definitely cause turmoil between the military and civilians.
The opposition will lead to disaster." Zhao Bing stood up and punched his back in response.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ying Jieyan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then thanked him.
?b?i?q?u?g?e ．
cnThe prince touched his back with his own hands. He was still very moved, but this did not eliminate the doubts in his heart. "Your Highness, if you know this, what do you want to do?"
"Since we can't take it from the people, we can only take it from the enemy!" Zhao Bing sat back and said. He didn't take the old man's politeness seriously. In his previous life, he was a good young man who respected the elderly and loved the young. Doing this is just a matter of course.
Naturally, I didn't have any ideas. Unexpectedly, the old man was moved to tears. Of course, he might have choked.
"Taking it from the enemy?! Your Highness, please make it clear." The old man was stunned again and secretly sighed that he was getting old. He was not stupid. In the past, it only took a few words or even a wink from the leader to fully understand his intentions.
I knew what he was thinking. But today, even though I was concentrating on it, I couldn't keep up with His Highness's thinking. After asking many times, I still couldn't understand the young prince's thoughts.
"I want to play in Guangzhou."
"Capture Guangzhou?!" The old man was completely confused, but this time he was frightened by His Highness's boldness. Guangzhou is an important town on Guangnan East Road, an important place fought between Song and Mongolia. After it fell again, the Yuan army deployed heavy troops. The imperial court
They also tried to regain Guangzhou to relieve the pressure, but gave up. Think about it, although the imperial court has been defeated repeatedly, it still claims to have 300,000 soldiers. Even if they squeeze out the water, there are still 100,000 soldiers available, and they are unable to attack. And Shuai.
There were only two thousand volunteers in Fuman who were still in training, so he dared to take the idea of ​​Guangzhou, which can be said to be extremely audacious.
"Of course!" Zhao Bing nodded and said, "Guangzhou is a thoroughfare to the four seas, with prosperous commerce and a place where wealth gathers. And Guangdong has become increasingly prosperous since Lingnan was opened. The Yuan army came all the way north and plundered along the way.
The huge amount of property has not yet been shipped north, so it must be stored in Guangzhou. As long as we can capture this place, we will definitely gain a lot..."
"Your Highness, please slow down!" Ying Jieyan really couldn't listen anymore and had to interrupt His Highness. He secretly sighed that the prince regarded Guangzhou as his own warehouse and thought that he could get it by stretching out his hand, but he still held back.
He asked angrily, "It is true that it is easier for the wealthy people in Guangzhou to levy military supplies, but there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us. Is there any clever plan your highness can use to defeat the enemy and win?"
"Sir, did you overlook that the Yuan army was returning north to quell the chaos?" Zhao Bing shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Oh, I'm really confused. Your Highness wants to take advantage of the enemy's large-scale northward movement to seize the opportunity to retake Guangzhou." Ying Jie Yanjing reminded His Highness, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten this matter in his desperation.
He patted his forehead and said with a smile, "But Your Highness, you must know that even if the enemy army withdraws in large scale to the north, they will still leave elite troops to defend the city. However, our army has just been formed, and the training time is still short, the combat effectiveness is not strong, and the troops are not enough.
Even if the troops are equal, it is not easy to defeat the enemy!"
"What Mr. Sir said is true, so everything is still under plan. We just sent people to Guangzhou to explore the enemy's strength. We also trial-produced two weapons to defeat the enemy, and mobilized elite troops to step up training. If there is an opportunity, we can fight. If it fails, we can only wait for the time being.
Give up and find another strategy." Zhao Bing nodded.
In fact, Zhao Bing had already planned the 'plunder' of Guangzhou. When he talked about the unexpected fortune he got while avoiding the enemy on the epidemic ship, he started to think about it. Firstly, the money was too easy to come by; secondly, he needed the money.
Come to win people's hearts and prepare to escape with funds. Of course, there was no specific goal at that time, but in the end, I never encountered a weak and bullied 'fat sheep' and gave up, but the seeds were deeply buried in my heart. Later, Zhuang Shilin purchased the
The seed in my heart sprouted after I ventured to Guangzhou with a full load of food and returned with the news that there was a large amount of supplies stored there.
In the following days, Fuzhong's expenses increased and there was almost no income, and Zhao Bing's plan to go to Qiongzhou had already begun to be implemented. In the previous life, Guangzhou was a first-tier city in the country, with its economic strength ranking at the forefront. Although Hainan was open to
After more than thirty years, it was still known as the poorest special zone. So even if he didn't know the reality, he knew that life in Qiongzhou was difficult. He didn't expect that he was still so poor that he still had to eat reimbursed grain!
Forced by the situation, the plan to raise funds for Guangzhou was officially started, and the time was tentatively scheduled before leaving for Qiongzhou. At the same time, preparations were started, including military pay, recruiting elite soldiers and generals, and trial production of rockets and crossbows, all of which were in line with Zhao Bing's desire.
It is not irrelevant to attack Guangzhou. In order to understand the situation in Guangzhou, he ordered Zheng Huchen to send people to Guangzhou to investigate the number and location of the Yuan army garrison, how many ships there were in the port, as well as the people and business conditions in and around the city, and of course the most important thing was the location of the treasury.
.
In order not to cause chaos, all this was done secretly. Even Zheng Huchen, who was on a reconnaissance mission, thought that he wanted to know the enemy's situation in Guangzhou to avoid conflict with the enemy on the way to Qiongzhou. He never thought that the prince was thinking about the city of Guangzhou.
Qian Cai. Ying Jieyan can be said to be the second person who knew that Zhao Bing wanted to capture Guangzhou. However, the court and the generals in the mansion were kept in the dark and were not aware of the prince's plan at all. They were either worried or worried about Zhao Bing.
Bing's pledge to Mongolia.
"Well, it seems that His Highness has already made up his mind about the capture of Guangzhou. Can you tell me in detail? Maybe I can help His Highness to check and fill in the gaps." Ying Jieyan thought about how His Highness was manufacturing new weapons, sending people to spy, and launching targeted campaigns.
For training, there must be a formed combat plan.
"This..." Zhao Bing scratched his scalp and looked at the old man shyly. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he was really embarrassed.
According to what he really thought, after the fleet approached Guangzhou, he used the darkness to sneak up on the coast, and then used the advantage of the longer range of the rockets to shoot out all the rockets in a short time. If it could cause heavy casualties to the enemy
, or frighten them into retreat, then send troops ashore to rush to kill them, and then load all the money and food that can be taken away from the city into ships as quickly as possible, and then run away without waiting for the enemy to organize a counterattack. And once the enemy is found,
If they haven't lost their combat effectiveness or are holding on tenaciously, they can run away without even getting off the boat. Anyway, the Yuan Shui Army is still in the Zhangchao area, and they can't catch up even if they want to.
This plan is full of loopholes, and it is really embarrassing to say it. But Zhao Bing thinks about it, it is all money, no, it is the capital for Qiongzhou to establish itself, and the future of the Song Dynasty. His own face is nothing. Besides, he is himself
