Chapter 907: 'Wang Shichong' was attacked by the Tang army. How could 'Dou Jiande' not come to his aid?
Starting from Detective Li Yuanfang, Chapter 907 "Wang Shichong" was attacked by the Tang army. How could "Dou Jiande" not come to his aid?
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky.
The geographical location of the Sichuan Basin is undoubtedly very special. The roads leading to and from Shu are very dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Whenever there is chaos in the Central Plains, it is easy for separatist forces to form in this place.
It is a pity that "the danger of mountains and rivers is not needed to strengthen a country" and "worry and labor can rejuvenate a country, but leisure and hesitation can destroy one's life." Throughout history, there are few princes from Shu competing for the Central Plains. They all stick to a corner of peace. The only famous quarter is
Neither Han nor Prime Minister Zhuge could win.
During the process of the Northern Song Dynasty unifying the south, there was also a battle between the Song Dynasty and Later Shu. After Zhao Kuangyin captured Jinghu, he occupied a strategic location in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, cut off the connection between Hou Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and planned to attack Shu.
The whole war was uneventful. Zhao Kuangyin used 60,000 of the more than 100,000 refined imperial troops to attack Hou Shu in two directions. He also ordered: "Every enemy conquers the city, only their weapons and armor, and their grains, and all are distributed with money and silk."
Warrior, what I want is the land."
In other words, after conquering a city, the imperial court would only count the weapons, armor and rations seized. As for the money, silk and property, the soldiers who went on the expedition could divide them up on the spot.
As a result, it can be imagined that the morale of the Song army was high. On the other hand, Shu divided its troops for defense, and the army had no fighting spirit. The entire war only lasted for sixty-six days. Shu died two months later. It can be said that it achieved an overwhelming victory.
of victory.
However, Zhao Kuangyin's behavior of motivating the soldiers also led to one group of Song troops "looting their children and seizing property", and another group also collecting and looting the local wealth, sowing the seeds of unrest and unrest in Shu, and eventually the official forced them to do so.
Civil rebellion resulted in many peasant uprisings.
After the Song Dynasty destroyed the Shu regime, it only took two months to put down a rebellion in Shu, but it took more than a year.
The "Jiaozi" mentioned earlier was gradually born under this background. The Song army emptied all the copper coins, so that the local people used iron coins to trade, which was miserable, and finally paper money was derived.
Back to the present time, when the world is in chaos and rebels are everywhere, the first group of rebels have almost all walked off the stage of history.
The Chongtong Taoist Zhang Xian was destroyed by "Zuo Ming", Sun Lie of Jinan Prefecture was destroyed by the rural army, Gaotuo Mountain in Hedong was destroyed by the surrendered Western Army, Wuhu in Guanzhong was destroyed by Chao Gai, and Guo Kang in Xiangyang was recruited by the imperial court.
, but now that the disobedience is becoming more and more obvious, I am afraid it will not end well...
Only King Yang of Sichuan and Shu is still active and his power is gradually growing.
This is not unrelated to the Song Dynasty's governance of the Shu region. Although those things happened more than a hundred years ago, the people in Sichuan and Shu did not feel as attached to the Song Dynasty as other places, so that today this Yang
The King of Heaven proclaimed himself the "King of Xing Shu" and gained support, as if he was separatist.
Wang Qing's original focus was all on Jingxiang, and he almost never thought about it. However, once he broke away from the train of thought and looked at the overall situation, he immediately realized that King Yang was indeed worthy of Yan Ting's attention.
He immediately began to search for all the impressions of King Yang in his mind, and quickly organized his words: "I want to inform your highness that Thief Yang has no enterprising spirit. When Fang Gong formed an alliance with him, he only agreed to it and was not eager. Even the gift of the covenant
They all appear to be very stingy, but this person likes wealth, so it’s best to search for it, and you can start here!”
The Secret Department has long collected all the information on the rebels. Since Shu is closed, relatively speaking, King Yang Tianwang has the least information, but there is indeed a characteristic of greed for money. Li Yan asked again: "If you use money and silk to move him, how can this person be moved?"
Will we send troops down the Yangtze River to besiege Xiangyang together?"
Later Zeng Guofan once summed up a strategic idea, "Since ancient times, the strategy of pacifying the south of the Yangtze River must be to move upstream." Historically, this was what Mongolia did when they attacked the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, they spent countless efforts and a lot of effort in attacking Sichuan and Shu.
, in the end, they did not completely win, but they also defeated Sichuan and Shu.
If Sichuan and Shu were not abolished, the Mongolian army would not be able to attack Xiangyang, because the Song army could go down the river from Sichuan and Shu in the upper reaches and attack from both sides.
The same is true now. Fang La devoted all his strength to attack Xiangyang, and King Yang Tian could definitely send troops from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to form an alliance and advance.
Wang Qing had fully understood the strategic goal of this man, and he pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that Thief Yang initially plundered merchants and committed many atrocities against the Chuanxia guild. Later, many of his subordinates were bribed, and he trusted him deeply. If this matter was caused by
If the Sichuan Gorge Guild can pull the strings, we may be able to succeed!"
Li Yan nodded slightly and ordered: "Let the Zhang members enter the palace."
Businessmen are the best at adapting to the changing circumstances. During the more than a year of running Yanyun, he actually had contacts with major guilds. Of course, the one he had the most contact with was the Shangqiu guild, and figures at the guild level came to seek refuge.
, Zhang Yu was also the first.
But now that Zhang Dun has returned to the prime minister, the Shangqiu guild, where all Zhang clan members hold important positions, is in an awkward position. Fortunately, Li Yan doesn't care about this at all. He lets Zhang Yu serve as a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, even if it is just a name, he will immediately make people
Realized that the Shangqiu Guild was not implicated.
At this time, the leader of the meeting entered the palace after being summoned by the chamberlain, and bowed excitedly: "Your Majesty, Zhangyu, pay homage to His Highness!"
Li Yan raised his hand: "Zhang Yuan is exempt from courtesy. This is the connection between the Sichuan and Shu Yang thieves and the Sichuan Gorge Guild. Wang Langjun has lived in the south for a long time and has some opinions on this matter. You can discuss it with each other."
Seeing the key figures waiting outside the palace, Wang Qing didn't know that Yan Ting had already made a series of plans, and there was no need to make any plans by himself. He hurriedly told the story in detail, including what he knew about King Yang Tian's character and his close confidants.
Relationship with Sichuan Gorge Guild.
Each major chamber of commerce has its own focus area, but the basic business also covers the world. Zhang Yu asked for a few details and knew that what this person said was accurate: "I'm telling you, your highness, if you go by what Wang Langjun said, Sichuan Gorge
The leader of the guild, Lu, came forward to bribe the Yang thieves in Sichuan and Sichuan and lobby them, which would have a miraculous effect!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yandao: "Will the Sichuan Gorge Guild be willing to do something?"
Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment and replied: "I believe that Mr. Lu can distinguish right from wrong and take on this important task!"
No subtle expression could hide Li Yan's eyesight, and a hint of coldness suddenly escaped from the corner of his mouth: "Why, they are still trying to 'keep friends'?"
Zhang Yu turned pale with shock and hurriedly bowed: "I am guilty!"
Li Yandao: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that this 'Jiaozi' is of great importance, and the Sichuan Gorge Guild should be aware of it."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Not to mention Zhang Yu's face turning pale and not daring to answer rashly. Fang Yuye and Fang Jie both felt a sense of depression as it had nothing to do with them.
Even for the six major chambers of commerce, this man's joy and anger are enough to change the rise and fall...
In fact, Li Yan really didn't have a good impression of the big chambers of commerce. Not to mention the Houjiang Guild that disappeared, the other five major chambers of commerce, including the Shangqiu Guild, had many evil ways.
Jiaozi is originally a good thing that benefits the people, but the profit-seeking nature of businessmen can often turn good things into bad things. Behind the scenes, the Sichuan Xia Guild continues to promote Jiaozi and expand its influence. The real purpose is obviously to use this
The monopoly of currency controls the lifeblood of part of the economy.
This is undoubtedly an extremely sensitive matter, so the Chuanxia Guild has weaved a network of officialdom collusion, carefully walking on the edge of the Song court's tolerance. Now that it is seeing the change of dynasties, it actually expects to continue to do it and share a share with the court.
soup.
This is a big taboo.
The importance of currency to a political power is self-evident. Li Yan once tried to implement "flying money" in the Tang Dynasty world, but until he ascended to the throne, it was not officially launched because this thing collapsed if it didn't work well.
And caused a series of disasters.
"Feiqian" is like this, and "Jiaozi" is even more like this. How could he allow a private chamber of commerce to get involved?
Zhang Yu secretly complained that he had no friendship with the Sichuan Gorge Guild, and was even a competitor, but he did not want the other party to be completely destroyed, because in this industry, he was not immune, and if anything happened, he would be implicated to some extent.
Li Yan was no longer ready to ask anymore and looked at Wang Qing: "Wang Qing's family is willing to go to Sichuan and work with the Sichuan Gorge Guild to lure out the Yang thieves entrenched here?"
It is undoubtedly a dangerous thing to ask the Chamber of Commerce to work hard for it without meeting its conditions, but Wang Qing answered without hesitation: "I don't dare to ask for your permission!"
Li Yan nodded: "Okay, this time the three Qing families have made great achievements and will be rewarded in the future. I will have many more choices, so I don't have to worry about this matter."
Wang Qing bowed and saluted, Fang Yuye bowed and Fang Jie clasped his fists tightly and said neatly: "I will live up to your highness's trust!"
After a few simple instructions, Li Yan did not arrange specific tactics, but made subtle control and said directly: "Go!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
After exiting the Zichen Palace, Wang Qing and the other three remained silent until they were taken out of the palace by the chamberlain, and then they breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been granted amnesty.
Wang Qing immediately turned to Zhang Yu and said, "I wonder if Mr. Zhang will be free tonight and go to Sui'an Restaurant for a banquet?"
Zhang Yu smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Wang Langjun? When you first arrive here, it is for me to fulfill my friendship as a landlord..."
The two parties declined for a while, and finally Zhang Yu booked a private room in the restaurant. Wang Qing stopped refusing and watched the other party leave in a hurry, murmuring: "This is the Zhang family from Pucheng on Fujian Road. If he can become a southern faction in the future,
, this person is a great helper!”
Imagine
"Husband, let's go back to the inn quickly!"
Wang Qing turned around and saw that Fang Yuye's former arrogance was gone, and he whispered: "My back is soaked..."
"good!"
Wang Qing laughed, then felt his clothes, and found that they were not much better. He sighed: "It turns out that I am the same!"
The three of them got on their horses. Wang Qing suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Mr. Fang admire the heroes of the late Sui Dynasty?"
Fang Yuye thought for a while and said: "Brother, it seems that he is comparing himself to Dou Jiande, or Wang Shichong? I only heard him mention it once, but I can't remember who it is..."
Wang Qing smiled and said: "That is 'Wang Shichong'. It seems that God's will is so. 'Wang Shichong' was attacked by the Tang army. How could 'Dou Jiande' not come to help?"
