Chapter 1226 Yang Shan's Further Infiltration
Mirror sighed: "Smoke is coming out of Situ's ancestral grave, what good luck! You see, 160 or 70 years ago, the Ying people also borrowed money from Yao country, and ended up being forced into a dead end."
"That's different. Yao country wants to control the surrounding areas and weaken dissidents." Use money, grain, and all means. "Besides, 160 or 70 years ago, we didn't exist here."
The master said this, hey, Mirror asked again: "What about us?"
He Lingchuan smiled and said nothing.
Yangshan Islands had several bumper harvests before and after, and Ding Zuodong kept enough supplies according to He Lingchuan's requirements. The sale of grain must be quota, and over-selling is not allowed; the cargo trade logistics of Yangshan Islands is also on the right track. Mouguo and Beijia are both major customers of the islands. Fleets from these two places promote the development of commerce on the island, and even use Yangshan Islands as the distribution and main transit point for materials.
From this time on, the income from farming is actually a small head. The grain price in this area is not high to begin with, how much money can you make from selling grain?
Blade Port is too small to handle the overwhelming wealth, and the overflow has basically been taken by Yangshan Islands.
The explosive infrastructure development on the island has come to an end, which is indeed a bit extensive, but the subsequent refined improvement is not so urgent, and can be done slowly.
Therefore, the Yangshan Islands behind Helingchuan can now be said to be rich in food and money, and there is no problem in supporting the Situ family to fight a few big battles.
From Yangshan Islands to Julu Port in the Golden Plain, it takes about seven days to sail on the sea, and only five and a half days with a favorable wind. It is more time-saving and labor-saving than land transportation, and there is almost no trouble of eating and chewing for people, and the road consumption is very small.
This is a big advantage.
After the materials arrive at Julu Port, they will be transported by land.
Pengguo was newly established, the public security was not good, and bandits were rampant. If Yangshan's materials are to pass through Pengguo and finally be transported to Situ's territory, a strong escort force is needed to ensure the safety of money and food.
Coincidentally, Yangshan Islands also have an agreement with Pengguo, which can be armed escort. Therefore, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and the escort team came in handy.
After the Pengguo coup, the Yangshan Islands had sent some personnel to land in Julu Port, and began to set up and register the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and Changlong Wuxing, and hung up a big sign to open for business.
This Changlong Wuxing is the armed force stationed by Yangshan in the Shanjin Plain, specializing in various escorts, escorts, and care. As for which areas the business will extend to in the future, it is unknown.
Since the "local connection" has been done, He Lingchuan asked in the letter that Yangshan Islands should send another 2,000 people to the Shanjin Plain in several batches by taking the opportunity of escorting materials.
These 2,000 people certainly include the civilian staff of the Chamber of Commerce, such as managers, assistants, accountants, and law enforcement officers, etc. These are all management teams separated from Ding Zuodong, and they are the backbone when they come.
But the majority are the Yangshan Guards, and they are led by Wanqi Feng himself!
In addition to escorting materials, He Lingchuan is ready to give them more tasks.
This number is not a small matter. People who are familiar with He Lingchuan know that this big boss is going to make trouble again.
"You stayed out of the previous coup in the country of Bian, saying that you were afraid of being involved in the cause and effect." Dong Rui also came to ask him, "This time, why did you take the initiative to help the Situ family?"
Are you not afraid of cause and effect?
"First of all, I only have business dealings with the Situ family. Although the money and grain that Yangshan sent to him are at a preferential price, it is essentially a business. If the Situ family wants to win the next few battles, they still have to rely on their own efforts." He Lingchuan said slowly, "My current identity is a businessman. Merchants only do business and don't go to the battlefield. If other forces have money, they can also buy things from us, so others can't find fault with me."
"Secondly, this is another good opportunity for Yangshan."
A good opportunity to drive a nail into the Shining Gold Plain.
A good opportunity to further explore Yangshan's tentacles into the Shining Gold Plain.
With the opening of the Situ family's territory, Yangshan has pushed forward another pawn into the central part of the Shining Gold Plain.
Although he was also walking in a strange land, he now had a base, money, food, and people, so he had plenty of ways to deal with it. He was no longer alone in a foreign land, isolated and helpless like when he went to Beijia.
He already had his own organization and manpower.
There were many things he could do.
…
Situ Yu recaptured Jucheng and regained control of the mountains.
I don’t know if it was He Lingchuan’s luck or the Situ family was really motivated. They took advantage of the Bixia people’s inability to dispatch and quickly captured Yuanshui.
Once this place was captured, a new situation of recovering the old land of Gaopu State was opened.
A series of key victories made the Situ army advance all the way and their morale was high.
The news of victory came frequently, and the momentum was established.
If you win, you keep winning, and if you lose, you keep losing. War is sometimes so unreasonable.
The Bixia people urgently transported troops, hoping to stop the Situ family from continuing to move eastward. However, the two allies of the Situ family finally arrived, surrounded them from both sides, and broke this blockade.
The three armies met at the Yuanshui River, with well-trained soldiers, sufficient food, and complete military equipment.
After the Situ family received the help and promise from the Yangshan Islands, they gave priority to transporting all the reserves in the territory to the front line to supply the soldiers of the three armies with food, drink, and fighting.
Seven days later, the first batch of food promised by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce arrived in the Situ territory.
This was four days earlier than agreed, because this batch of food was not transported directly from the islands, but was the stock that had landed in Julu Port earlier.
The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce gave priority to transporting the food that was originally scheduled to be delivered to other places to the Situ territory.
Of course, there were some difficulties, but Guan Ke, another general manager of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, also rushed to Julu Port and found a way to solve it.
How do you show your ability and competence? You must be on top at critical moments and be able to share the worries of the leaders.
Guan Dazongguan is no worse than Ding Zuodong in this respect.
After four days and ten days, the follow-up supplies from the Yangshan Islands landed in Julu Port one after another, and then were escorted to Situ's territory by the newly formed Changlong Wuxing.
They encountered robbers several times on the road, and they were all killed and driven away by Changlong Wuxing. Wanqi Feng ordered the bodies of the robbers to be strung on poles, called "human flags", and inserted on both sides of the road along the way to serve as a warning to others.
The densely packed one or two hundred human flags on the roadside are all feast tables for the crows. Whenever someone passes by, the crows flutter and take off, and the sound and visual effects are very prominent, and passers-by are all shocked.
The rear supplies of baggage and weapons are endless, Situ Yu is not panicked, and the command is more calm.
This battle has never been so comfortable! In the past, it was always stretched to the limit and stretched to the limit.
He Lingchuan also proved that he had a good vision - or good luck - in selecting the Situ family, a potential stock that could win the battle.
When the two important cities were captured one after another, the Bixia people's formation was finally disrupted, and the Situ coalition forces became more and more motivated. At this time, several forces that had been watching from the sidelines finally wanted to join the battle.
