Chapter 623: Songzhou, the Source of the Great River
Chapter 624 Songzhou, the source of the Yangtze River (fifth update)
"Guo Changshi, we can't go any further here. The porters are the other side's business."
Eighty miles away from Songshou, the little leader who was responsible for carrying things with a large group of people found Guo Ziyi.
"Help me greet them." Guo Ziyi said to him.
He was with Li Yi. Although he was only nineteen years old this year, he had learned a lot.
Even if they were working in different places, they still had their own rules.
When a group of porters went to other places, they would either ask the other party to take over or give the other party money.
Including the twenty counties outside Chang'an City in Jingzhao Prefecture, whoever did the work was responsible.
There was only one exception, Lijiazhuangzi. Lijiazhuangzi told whoever did what, and it would be unimpeded in Jingzhao Prefecture.
The rule of Jingzhao Prefecture was that Lijiazhuangzi in Bashui was the first, the imperial decree could be delayed, and what Li Dongzhu said must be executed immediately.
It was too far away now, and Lijiazhuangzi could not radiate, so we had to follow their rules.
The leader ran away and went to find the people working on the other side. Everyone was organized.
After the two sides handed over, the people on the other side owed a favor to the leader on this side.
The things were given to the other side, and the people on this side went back happily, earning a lot of money, all of which were bought by local officials.
Guo Ziyi did not ask officials to give money to the workers, because the workers might be harassed.
Ask for things directly, and then the workers take the things home first.
Guo Ziyi did not understand in the past, and he did not understand in the future. He never really put his mind on the bottom.
Now he understands. Li Yi can be said to be teaching by example. The lower the workers are, the more they need to be taken care of.
"What Li Dongzhu has learned is so complicated that it is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Guo Ziyi watched the two sides hand over and a group of people left happily, and he was full of emotion.
"Let's go, brothers, it's eighty miles, and it will be delivered in one day and one night. Take the money back to find women and drink."
The leader who took over the work shouted vulgar words, took the lead to carry two packages, and strode forward.
Others laughed and joked, and followed.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry were silent. Their realm was different. They just wanted to reach Songzhou, wait for the possible war, and kill more enemies.
On February 17, Guo Ziyi and his party arrived at the east bank of the main source of the Songzhou River, and everyone else left.
A group of people in Jiacheng, where Songzhou Prefecture is located, were confused. They sent people across the river to inquire about the situation.
After learning that the court sent the private army of His Majesty, the Yulin Flying Cavalry, to help defend and bring a lot of food, their morale was greatly boosted.
They knew the Yulin Flying Cavalry. When they fought against the Southwest Barbarians, the Yulin Flying Cavalry was dispatched to help clean up there.
This time, a full 3,000 people, 6,000 horses, and so many supplies were sent.
Songzhou Governor Sun Renxian received the report and ran over in person.
Take a look at the 3,000 Yulin Flying Cavalry who have already set up camp, dug trenches, and erected chevaux de frise, each holding a crossbow in their hands, and hot air balloons were launched for alert.
For a moment, he was so moved that he almost cried. Strong soldiers, the strong soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
No matter when, they are always in a state of war.
"Guo Changshi." Sun Renxian clasped his fists.
"General Sun." Guo Ziyi returned the greeting.
Even though the other party was much higher in rank than him, it was useless. Yu Lin Feiqi ignored other personnel.
What was a general? The emperor still couldn't command.
"Follow me across the river." Sun Renxian didn't say a word.
"Okay!" Guo Ziyi nodded.
The hot air balloon was lowered and put away, and a large group of people began to cross the river. Small boats and large ships helped with transportation.
This is the importance of Songzhou, which faces the Yangtze River in the east.
After Songzhou was captured, the reinforcements from other places were blocked by the river, and the enemy army could go downstream.
Such a strategic location, Tubo in history wanted to attack it, I don't know what they were thinking.
Songzhou is behind the Yangtze River, and the city is here. Any ordinary person knows that it should be heavily guarded.
And Songzhou was besieged, which was a battle with one's back to the water. How could the enemy be allowed to pass by the siege?
"Your Majesty asked us to bring food to the brothers." Guo Ziyi shouted with the loudspeaker given to him by Li Yi.
Yu Lin Feiqi finally stopped being silent and distributed meat to everyone with a smile.
The meat was donated by officials along the way.
The meat floss, canned meat, and canned fruit that Li Yi gave us now don’t need to be taken out.
The soldiers in Songzhou were really happy. They didn’t care about eating meat, but they knew that His Majesty was thinking about them.
“Your Majesty also sent new telescopes, a lot of them, which can be distributed to the gangs, one for each gang leader. Do you understand the rules?”
Guo Ziyi also threw out a benefit that the gang leader of a gang of 50 people can have a telescope.
“Understood!” The soldiers shouted. The battalion commander didn’t have a telescope before. The rule was that in case of special circumstances, the telescope should be broken first.
Now it has been directly dropped to the gang level, which means that Datang has more telescopes and is willing to equip them.
Not to mention the gang of 50 people, every soldier wants a telescope.
“One telescope for every five scouts.” Guo Ziyi shouted again.
“Wow~~~” The soldiers in Songzhou went crazy. Five scouts set out, equipped with one telescope.
Sun Renxian’s expression was solemn. The things he gave were too many and too good.
Moreover, three thousand Yu Lin flying cavalrymen came here with hot air balloons overnight. What will Songzhou face?
"Guo Changshi, can you please have a word with me?" While others were happily choosing bacon and sausages, Sun Renxian pulled Guo Ziyi aside.
"General Sun, it's okay. Tubo can't send many troops. Keep it a secret and don't spread it out.
We rested in the city. Teach you how to use explosive bags. This explosive bag is very simple.
Our hot air balloon will not fly, and Tibet will not come to fight. We will rest for a month and then go back. "
Guo Ziyi knew what Sun Renxian was worried about and avoided others. He told Sun Renxian about the situation.
Sun Renxian was confused and asked: "Your Majesty spends so much money, why don't we wait for an attack?"
"Your Majesty didn't spend any money. What he got when he came out was given to him by Lijiazhuangzi in Bashui. Do you know that place? Oh, you know?"
I followed His Majesty's instructions for the rest along the way, and the local officials cooperated very well.
This time I came here and gave each of my brothers exchange coupons. Can I spend it locally? If I can't spend it, I will arrange for someone to go to the place below to exchange other money. "
Guo Ziyi took out a few 100 yuan exchange coupons and showed them to Sun Renxian.
Sun Renxian looked at the exchange coupon: "No, you can spend it. Now the exchange coupon can be exchanged for 10 yuan for 12 yuan. You can't exchange it with money. Do you all use exchange coupons in Chang'an?"
"No, we have money and nothing to spend it on. Your Majesty and Li Jia Zhuang will cook for us. If we rotate to Li Jia Zhuang, we will be happy."
Guo Ziyi said and handed the pile of money he took out to Sun Renxian. UU reading www.uukanshu.net
Sun Renxian held the money in his hand and stared: "What does this mean?"
"It was given by Dongzhu Li. Since you know the exchange coupon, you should know where it comes from. Dongzhu Li said that if there is a war in Songzhou, Sun Renxian should break it."
Guo Ziyi said frankly that the money was not his, so he helped Li Yi give it to him.
In history, Sun Renxian, who went out of the city to challenge the Tubo and beat them up, was now embarrassed. He took the money and said, "Is this considered bribery?"
"Dr. Li bribed you? What do you think? Dongzhu Li doesn't want to upset the hearts of the brothers. We will cooperate with you and beat him if the Tibetans attack."
Guo Ziyi curled his lips. He knew the situation. Li Yi needed to please the border generals?
