Chapter 210 God of War in the Golden Kingdom
"The dispute in the harem should have nothing to do with me."
Lu Lingqi was following Mulan and others back to Chang'an City, thinking that it should not be related to her, after all, she was just a general.
Along the way, a steady stream of grain trucks can be seen transporting grain and grass to the treasury and granary near Chang'an.
After concentrating on farming, Zhang Hua has not encountered a food crisis so far.
Zhang Hua built dozens of large and medium-sized granaries near Chang'an, which supply more than 300,000 troops.
These soldiers consume a lot of food and grass every day.
In Chang'an City, countless caravans came in and out, merchants from Sichuan, Xiliang, Hedong and Heluo gathered in Chang'an City, and all kinds of goods were everywhere.
A team of merchants who came from Hedong spent a lot of money to buy more than a dozen shops, causing a lot of sensation, and many people were asking about the other party's origin.
"Chang'an City is the center of the 800-mile Qinchuan. It has a large population and a vast market. It can connect Longyou, Hedong, Taiyuan, Hanzhong and other places, especially trade with the nomadic tribes on the grassland, making a lot of profits. The nomadic tribes on the grassland lack any kind of copper and iron, and they can exchange cattle and sheep with tea and iron pots. Unfortunately, the lord here prohibits the sale of land, otherwise I must buy 10,000 acres of fertile land in Guanzhong. Land is the foundation of everything."
The businessman recruited carpenters to decorate the storefront and decided to use Chang'an as an important market.
"This place has strict control over land, and it is officially operated by salt and iron, and even tea has to be subject to heavy taxes. Why don't the owner develop in other places?"
"In other places, the status of merchants is not high, and the war is in chaos. Maybe when the power is destroyed, everything we buy will be confiscated. At least the situation in Guanzhong is stable and you can gain a foothold. Chang'an is one of the starting points of the Silk Road. I, Shen Wansan, want to do business to the Western Regions."
This businessman who claimed to be Shen Wansan was ambitious.
The princes attacked each other and expanded their influence.
At the same time, the great merchants were also conquering cities and occupying cities.
Many merchants also bought a lot of land, hired tenant farmers, and did business while the local owners.
It’s just that Zhang Hua’s forces prohibited land transactions, and these merchants could only buy and sell non-official goods.
Despite this, Chang'an City attracted great merchants from all dynasties to occupy the market and turn over various materials.
A big businessman like Shen Wansan, who had been a fan of the world, had a long-term vision and had already set his sights on the huge profits of the Silk Road and had accumulated capital in Guanzhong in advance.
In Hedong, Qin Hui led a group of civil officials to serve Wanyan Zongwang, Jin Wushu and others of the Great Jin Kingdom. He launched a large-scale farming in Jinzhou and harvested a large amount of food and grass for attacking Guanzhong.
Around Qin Hui, there was a team of Jin soldiers guarding him to prevent Qin Hui from being assassinated.
Many folk righteous men from the Song, Yuan and next year spontaneously assassinated Qin Hui, to eliminate treacherous ministers, and to become famous.
However, the Jin soldiers around Qin Hui played a role and killed more than a dozen assassins one after another, but Qin Hui was still alive.
"The traitor Qin Hui was killed!"
While Qin Hui was patrolling the farmland with civil servants, an assassin lying in the wheat field suddenly stood up, held a dagger, and stabbed Qin Hui!
The dagger shines with a dark purple luster in the sun, obviously covered with poison, and blood is sealed!
Qin Hui and the civil servants around him all looked pale. The assassin was hiding in the wheat field. He had enough patience and was quick to draw his sword. He was not an ordinary assassin!
A stream of light passed by, an arrow sealed the throat, piercing through the assassin's throat!
The artery was torn apart by sharp clusters of arrows, and blood gushed!
The assassin's eyes lost his spirit and fell to the ground, and the poisonous dagger landed on the ground.
Blood splattered on Qin Hui's robe, and Qin Hui's face turned pale.
This is his third assassination this month.
Moreover, these assassins basically spontaneously assassinated Qin Hui, who had a bad reputation, and it was difficult for Qin Hui to find the source.
"Guo Xiama, you are worthy of being the sharpshooter of the Great Jin Kingdom. With your archery skills, you can compete with the famous generals Li Guang and Xue Rengui of the ancients. Thanks to you, this time, I will definitely die."
Qin Hui gave thankful eyes to the great Jin general sent by Wanyan Zongwang to protect him.
This sharpshooter attacked the attacker, and his archery skills were superb and amazing.
The Great Jin Kingdom's sharpshooter, known as Guo Xiama, did not answer, but silently followed Wanyan Zongwang's orders and saved Qin Hui's life.
Guo Xiama has made three consecutive attempts to help Qin Hui, shooting assassins, and shooting every bow and arrow, but no assassin can survive.
In the nearby farmland, a farmer who was cutting wheat glanced at the direction where Qin Hui was and couldn't help but mutter: "These folk knights and martial artists, although they were full of passion and spontaneously assassinated Qin Hui, but things went against their wishes. Not only did they fail to assassinate Qin Hui, but they added a lot of trouble to our Jinyiwei. The more assassinations were against Qin Hui, the more important the Jurchens attached to Qin Hui. Now there are 300 soldiers around Qin Hui, and there is also a general of the archer-level escort level. It can be said that they have strict guards. In this way, it will be even more difficult to assassinate Qin Hui..."
Qin Hui recruited many Han ministers for the Great Jin Kingdom established by Wanyan Zongwang. These ministers were the leader of Qin Hui and formed cliques. They were also a force that should not be underestimated in the Great Jin Kingdom. Moreover, the Jurchens also hoped that they would farm and provide food and grass.
The Jurchens' accomplishments in farming were far less than those of Qin Hui and his group.
Qin Hui and Guo Xiama did not notice this husband who cut wheat.
There are hundreds of civilians in the farmland, and the Jinyiwei is no different from ordinary people.
Under the order of Zhang Hua, the Jinyiwei came to assassinate Qin Hui, who helped Wanyan Zongwang farm, and destroyed the military farming plan of the Great Jin Kingdom, which made him panic.
Qin Hui was surrounded by strict guards, and undoubtedly the Jinyiwei's plan to assassinate Qin Hui.
Despite this, the Jinyiwei's assassination plan of Qin Hui is still under preparation.
In the last battle of Weishui, the Jinyiwei assassinated Meng Yi, and Meng Tian failed and his prestige was greatly hit. Therefore, the assassination of Qin Hui was an opportunity for the Jinyiwei to re-establish prestige.
If he fails again, Zhang Hua may not consider letting the Jinyiwei assassinate the enemy civil officials and military generals in the future.
After Qin Hui inspected the farmland, he returned to Jinzhou City.
"Wanyan Zongwang, Jin Wushu went to the north to meet a Jin general? Which Jin general was it that they had to go and greet him in person?"
Qin Hui was originally going to discuss matters with Wanyan Zongwang, Jin Wushu and other Jurchen nobles, but at this time he learned that Wanyan Zongwang, Jin Wushu and others led their troops to pick up a general who was heading south from the north, and was shocked and suspicious.
The status of the Jin generals who were personally welcomed by Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu, two Jin Dynasty royal families, must be quite high.
In the north, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu led 10,000 Jurchen soldiers to wait on the border border with Li Keyong, who was in charge of the Crow Army.
Wanyan Zongwang summoned all the Jurchens who were lying in the Central Plains, Hedong, Taiyuan, Guanzhong and other places to strengthen their forces and plot against Guanzhong, and needed a large number of military generals.
This time, Wanyan Zongwang received a letter from a Jin general, so he personally led his troops to support him.
If Li Keyong's Crow Army did not allow this Jin general to cross the border, then Wanyan Zongwang would even put pressure on Li Keyong.
After waiting for a long time, a small team of cavalry appeared on the horizon and drove towards Wanyan Zongwang's Jin army camp.
The headed Jurchen generals were overjoyed when they saw Wanyan Zongwang and others and turned over and dismounted: "Wanyan Loushi, the head of the Seventh Water Department of Jurchen, have seen you all!"
"We heard that you are in the north and are coming to surrender, so we specially bring troops to greet you."
Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan looked at this powerful general.
This person can be said to be the god of war in the Great Jin Kingdom. He captured the Liao Emperor alive and defeated the Song army.
Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and others made a special trip to welcome Wanyan Loushi, giving Wanyan Loushi a lot of face.
The princes compete for hegemony, and there is a huge demand for civil officials and military generals.
Because Wanyan Zongwang was the Jurchen lord, it was difficult to recruit famous Han generals. He was a war god of war of Wanyan Loushi and a Jurchen general, and his status in the Great Jin Kingdom was very important.
Wanyan Yinshuke saw Wanyan Loushi and said cheerfully: "Hahaha, good brother, we meet again! Do you remember to fight with the Liao Dynasty, and we were hundreds of soldiers, and rushed to the strongest battle, and fought nine times, and fought hard?"
Wanyan Loushi was also very excited when he saw Wanyan Yinshu: "Of course I remember! Next time we join forces and get into battle ten times, how about it?"
"good!"
Wanyan Silver Skill, Wanyan Loushi's cavalry has extremely strong ability to trap the formation. They can trap the formation multiple times until the enemy collapses or collapses themselves. Each time they trap the formation, they will be stronger than once.
Wanyan Loushi came to join the room. Wanyan Zongwang withdrew his troops and returned to Jinzhou. Then he held a banquet to welcome Wanyan Loushi. He also specially invited Qin Hui and other Han ministers to attend the meeting as a foil.
Qin Hui was shocked when he learned that Wanyan Zongwang was the war god Wanyan Loushi of the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Loushi defeated the famous Liao general Yelu Dashi, and the famous Song general Wu Jie, and captured the Liao emperor alive. It can be said that he is a veritable God of War in the Great Jin Dynasty. He is invincible and has few defeats. His ability to use troops may be better than Wanyan Zongwang and others.
However, Wanyan Loushi's status is not as good as that of princes such as Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu, and is not as good as the eldest son of Wanyan Zonghan, the country's prime minister.
Qin Hui of the same era naturally knew the horror of Wanyan Loushi.
Yelu Dashi was the emperor who established the Western Liao Dynasty and was powerful in the Western Regions. Wu Jie was one of the seven kings of the Southern Song Dynasty. He guarded Sichuan and Shu, and was all first-class generals. They were all defeated by Wanyan Loushi.
The first generation of Jurchens in Wanyan Aguda period were invincible if they were over ten thousand.
Later, the first generation of famous generals of the Jin Dynasty withered, and the famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and others rose. Jin Wushu, the second generation of famous generals of the Jin Dynasty, had the experience of becoming a military general of the Southern Song Dynasty.
After drinking for three rounds, Jin Wushu said: "Li Shiqi, the lobbyist of Liu Bang, has arrived in Hedong and invited us to attack Guanzhong. Liu Bang came out of Hanzhong and we crossed the Yellow River. We did not have much chance of winning, but if you join, Zhang Hua will definitely look good."
"Zhang Hua..."
