Chapter five hundred and seventy first reviving swordsmen
Yang Lin chuckled lightly and guarded Miaozhen. How dare he agree to such a thing? Even if he wanted to do it, he had to do it secretly.
And the most important thing is that Little Concubine Liu is Liu Qingshui's biological sister. She is her life and death brother and close friend. She cannot use this method unless it is carefully planned.
Now that he is about to march south, how can he have this time? Yang Lin gently hugged the beauty in his arms, and the important matter of Jiaozhi was still on his mind.
Jiaozhi is a good place and plays a very important role in maintaining the rule of the Han Dynasty in Indochina, controlling the South China Sea and maintaining the overseas tribute system.
In later generations, the Ming Dynasty also established the Shibo Tiju Department in Jiaozhi Yuntun to manage the tribute and trade affairs of the southwest countries. If it could be taken over, it would be of great benefit to the operation of the entire empire.
It has never been difficult to conquer Jiaozhi, but how to manage it is difficult.
Jiaozhi was included in the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Qin Dynasty, and it belonged to the Han Dynasty for most of the next thousand years. Until the Five Dynasties period, Jiaozhi was occupied by the Southern Han Dynasty. In 939, Wu Quan separatized Jiaozhi and established itself, but did not establish a national title.
It was called the Wu Dynasty.
Thirty years later, the leader of the Ding tribe wiped out all the forces in Jiaozhi, proclaimed himself emperor, named the country Daquyue, and was known as the Ding Dynasty in history. This was the beginning of Jiaozhi's separation from China.
Emperor Yongle of later generations once suffered losses here. Forcibly taking back Jiaozhi would inevitably arouse their resistance. Emperor Yongle established the Jiaozhi Provincial Envoy Department, which is Jiaozhi Province. By the time of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, these people killed the Han people
Officials bravely restored the country.
Once these monkey-like people get into the miasma-ridden rainforest and are infested with poisonous insects, I don't know how many lives of soldiers will be spent.
Duan Miaozhen looked up and saw that Yang Lin's eyes were distracted. Her heart tightened and she pressed her chest against his chest and said: "Lang Lang, don't you want to go on an expedition? Otherwise, you can plead with the officials and let him send someone else to go."
Right. There were so many generals in the Song Dynasty who could fight, so wouldn’t the Gao Gang be very powerful? The last time we suppressed the bandits back to Bianliang, they were so majestic and majestic that the people all praised them."
Yang Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth and rubbed the beauty's snowy cheeks, just like stroking a satisfied kitten. Duan Miaozhen enjoyed it extremely, with a faint smile and a faint blush on her quiet face, as if she was drunk.
Early the next morning, Young Master Yang Lin reported that the prince of Jiaozhi Li Dynasty had killed his father and established himself as the sovereign state. As the sovereign state of the Song Dynasty, it was necessary to raise troops to attack him.
The emperor quickly read the report accurately, and sent out to attack Li Xiuwen with his subordinates. Cai Jing, the general secretary, took the pen and generously wrote it, and sent it to the emperor's office, which spread throughout the world.
The message says:
Li Qiande, the king of Jiaozhi County, admired his righteousness and took the lead in paying tribute to him. He commended him for his obedience, granted him a great favor, and made him a king. He would have his land for a long time, and his descendants would be hereditary, and he would be separated from the country.
Prince Li Yanghuan, who had always wanted to be a beast of a tiger and a wolf, actually committed patricide, killed his biological father, exterminated his entire family, and was punished by his companions.
Wolf greedy.
Fortunately, a treacherous plot has been realized, and he has no scruples and does everything he wants. He deceives the saints and heaven, is unethical and unreasonable, arrogates the name of the country and calls it Da Li, and steals the year of Tianshun. It is not just to indulge in folk remedies.
Wanting to compete with China, he coveted Dali and peeked at Guangxi. According to the prefectures of Siming, he invaded seven villages far away from Lingling, captured our Han women to prepare for the tongs, and plundered our Han people to risk their lives.
Not long after, Queen Lanying rushed to Beijing to tell her story. She sent a special envoy to tell her about the misfortunes and blessings, start a new path for her, open the door to good deeds, and earnestly prayed for her to change her mind. She met the traitor Li Yanghuan.
His stubbornness and cruelty have caused even greater disasters, and now he can no longer bear it.
Let me, the emperor, be filled with rage that reaches the sky. The soldiers will have the heart of destruction. I will ask the guilty masters and use the code of nine attacks to eliminate the cruelty and relieve the hanging.
He then ordered Yang Lin, the chief inspector of the inspection school, and others to lead a partial army with one hundred thousand soldiers to fight against them. All the southeastern provinces would listen to their orders, and any enemy who came before the battle would be killed without mercy.
As soon as the proclamation came out, many people in the local area complained. In the past few years, the Song Dynasty had continued wars and had a tendency to become militaristic.
Although there are good results every time, the local areas are exhausted, especially Jiangnan.
Soon the second report from the imperial court was issued by the General Affairs Department. This time the southern expedition had been depleted and all troops could not be moved. Only the Dali troops and the new troops from the Beijing camp were used.
Moreover, no additional taxes were levied from the south of the Yangtze River, but supplies were provided by the vassal states, and the imperial court filled the gap.
As a result, the wind direction changed drastically, and everyone clapped their hands in anticipation, waiting for the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to report another victory.
On Majian Street in Bianliang, carriages kept coming and going, and pedestrians rubbed shoulders.
In the Xiu Tower, people were coming and going, and it was very busy.
Wang Yun, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, held up an edict as if holding some rare treasure, and said loudly with a rosy face: "In the past, when the imperial court sent troops, it would first order the local government to purchase grain, then load it into trucks and transport it to the south, and then transport it by river and river.
Transportation and sea transportation have to go through multiple yamen and multiple layers of procedures, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely costly. Now all the bidding packages are given to our merchants. We have ready-made business names, shops can be purchased, and there are even trucks and water operations.
In-house docks and warehouses can save at least 15% of the money compared to the imperial court's purchase and transportation, and the speed is more than half a month faster.
We can get each shipment of food half a month earlier than the imperial court. We have made a profit of 15% of the money we saved. How many problems have been solved half a month earlier? How many fewer people have died? Half a month less wasted on the road.
.How much can we save on labor costs? The court will only reward us and will definitely not ask for anything. I believe everyone knows how the court treats us now, so there is no need to worry! If there is any failure to pay, we are willing to contribute money!
"
"This kind of opportunity is unprecedented, which shows how much the imperial court cares for us. This time Yang Shaozai is marching south to Jiaozhi, our Chamber of Commerce must do our part and do our best for Shaozai.
Otherwise, how can we be worthy of this Xiulou Chamber of Commerce?"
"The imperial court will need a large number of horses, tents, clothes and armor, weapons, bows and arrows, and medicinal materials to fight wars. I predict that these supplies will soon go this way. When the time comes, there will be many opportunities and everyone will have a share."
The wealthy businessmen below are actually the biggest beneficiaries of the Jiangnan wealthy families' loss of power. Whoever can fill the huge market gap quickly will prosper. People in the Chamber of Commerce are actively improving their sense of existence. If they want to make a difference, they only need a little time.
With a little profit, someone will take these orders, and they can guarantee that they will be delivered.
The imperial court's policies are changing rapidly, and all merchants are most concerned about the Di Bao. The slightest disturbance will be enough to make them nervous for a long time.
Now that an order was sent directly to the Chamber of Commerce, it was like dripping water into a boiling oil pan, causing the pan to explode immediately.
These wealthy merchants are shouting at the top of their lungs, hoping to get more orders from them.
Wang Yun was filled with excitement. Looking at the huge Xiu Tower, he felt that no matter how much money he made, he would never be so happy and contented.
