Chapter 640
"Mr. Dongpo will be fine, right?" Ximen Qing's tone was also worried.
It would be strange if there is nothing wrong! Wu Haogu breathed a sigh of relief. In history, Su Dongpo died in the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo. Now it is almost summer in the third year of Jianzhong Jingguo. His birthday has arrived long ago, and living an extra day is a profit...
"Official, if Mr. Dongpo is gone, will Cai Jing..." Ximen Qing knew about the agreement between Wu Haogu and Cai Jing, but she did not believe that Cai Jing would abide by the agreement.
Cai Jing dared not attack Wu Haogu now, because Wu Haogu was popular in front of Zhao Ji, and there was also a big tree Su Dongpo in the court to rely on. If Su Dongpo was gone, the huge civil servant group of the Song Dynasty would probably be controlled by Cai Jing. By then, Wu Haogu's life would not be as good as it is now.
"Cai Jing..." Wu Haogu shook his head, "This guy is not easy to deal with, but I'm not afraid of him!"
While he was speaking, Ximen Qing took out the letter written by Su Dalang from the envelope and handed it to Wu Haogu.
Wu Haogu opened the letter and read it again. Su Dalang first reported on the preparations for Jingdong Commercial City, Penglai, and Banqiao Commercial City to buy and sell the power.
The construction plan of JD.com is divided into two cities, north and south. Beicheng is the current Tianya Town. Nancheng is built on the south side of Qushan County, including a large area of land on both sides of the original Haizhou Quechang and Yunyan River.
Among them, the territory of Jingdong City has long been set up by Wuhaogu, and the entire town was almost built according to the Jiehe Commercial City model. Moreover, the base camp of the Wujia family in Haizhou is also placed in Tianya Town (Beijing City). Yuntai Academy also set up some teachers' houses in Tianya Town, opened a preparatory school, and an affiliated primary school (Liuyi Academy), which can be said to have laid a solid foundation.
In the future, the number of people from Wu Haogu can account for at least 30%.
However, the dominance of JD.com is definitely in the hands of Ji Yi. After all, he has the official city masters sent by JD.com Maritime and Maritime Service... This is indeed a trouble!
As for Penglai Market and Banqiao Market, they will buy and save by singing and selling.
Among them, Christie's was responsible for the singing and selling of Penglai Market. Su Dalang asked Wu Haogu in a letter whether to take down Penglai Market or Banqiao Market.
Due to the wealth effect that Jiehe Maritime Shipping Service has produced in recent years, many wealthy merchants with backgrounds in Kaifeng Prefecture are now ready to show their skills. There are also many wealthy merchants and powerful people who have found the Republican business and want to cooperate to win two open-buy markets.
"Sister," Wu Haogu put Su Dalang's letter on the desk and asked in thought: "Can the big ship sail far away?"
Hua Da’s name is Hua Mancang. He is the boss of Hua Mancang for a generation. He is a bow in his forties. He has been running for half his life. As a result, he lost both the ship and the cargo was lost. He almost died at the sea. He originally wanted to wash his hands, but he never went out to sea for the rest of his life. However, he could not withstand the evil money and Yan Po’er’s kind advice, and agreed to come out a year ago. He was appointed as the bow of the "Jinbao" by Wu Haogu, and he also wrote the navigation textbook of the Naval Academy with Wu Yanzhao of the Wu family's maritime merchant.
A few months ago, the dual-purpose sailboat of the Jinbao was finally completed, and Huamancang brought a group of experienced old sailors and thick-armed paddlers to start the trial sailing.
The trial voyage was quite successful. I walked around the Bohai Bay for several times, and stopped in Chenzhou and Suzhou Port in Liao Kingdom. I transported back a lot of fur and medicinal materials, and also picked up a messenger sent by Brother Zhao Zhong and Ma Zheng.
The messenger brought back the on-site record of the battle to pacify Xiao Haili, which is very valuable for the combat methods of graduate student Wanyan’s Wanyan tribe. Wu Haogu also discovered from the report that Wanyan tribe may have adopted a cavalry tactic similar to the later generations’ "wall-style charge"! With just two waves of charge, the number of "Khitan cavalry" that far exceeded his was destroyed.
In addition, Zhao Zhongge also reported in detail a tactic of "wheel" and "wall-style charge" in the letter. According to Zhao Zhongge's original text, "Don't chase after victory, do not confusion when defeat, do not reorganize the army behind, advance side by side, and advance one after another, and be tenacious and lasting, making the cool down dead. Every battle is not a matter of days, which is not something that the generals and soldiers have never seen before."
Obviously, this is a tactic of taking turns to perform wall-type impact with a team of about 100 cavalry! Moreover, this tactic focuses on durability, and a fight lasts all day. Even if you can't defeat your opponent, you can still make your opponent tired.
After studying the Jurchen cavalry tactics with Murong Wangyou, Murong Mu, Lin Chong and Ximen Anguo, Wu Haogu ordered the training of "wall charge" and "wheel charge" in his "fake legion".
However, Wu Haogu did not think that his "fake legion" would be sent to the battlefield soon, so after setting up a few points, his attention turned to the development of territory.
"It's OK," Ximen Qing said to Wu Hao Guyan with confidence, "Boss Hua can go anywhere now."
Can you go anywhere? Can you go to America?
Thinking of this in my heart, I seemed very satisfied on the surface. "It's not bad!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Sister, let's arrange it and accompany me to Shamen Island in two months!"
"Go to Shaman Island?"
Shaman Island is a place where heavy prisoners are exiled!
Wu Haogu nodded with a smile: "The memorial to be in charge of Shaman Island has been handed over, and the official should be able to approve it soon. By then, Shaman Island and the serious prisoners on the island will be ours.
Sister, you might talk to those prisoners?"
"This..." Ximen Qing frowned, that embarrassing, why can he talk to the thieves who are robbing families? Birds of a feather flock together! Could it be that he is a bad person?
"Sister, aren't you a female hero?" Wu Haogu looked at Ximen Qing with a strange expression, "Those thieves should be friends in the world, right?"
"Uh..." Ximen Qing nodded stiffly, "I'm a little embarrassed in the world of Jingdong and Hebei.
However, the thieves on Shaman Island are extremely vicious and afraid they are not easy to fiddle with..."
"Not afraid." Wu Haogu shook his head and said to himself: He is Dashitou's teacher, Aguda's friend (Brother Zhao Zhong said this in the letter), why are you afraid of the extremely vicious evil people?
Wu Haogu smiled: "I have my own way to make them obedient!"
...
After living there, the emperor in Chongzheng Hall and the ministers and officials discussed the matter. After the discussion, Cai Jing and Su Dongpo were both left behind. Several large tables were brought into the small yellow gate of the Imperial Medicine Academy and put them together. Then a huge scroll was carried and unfolded on the large table.
After the scroll is unfolded, there is a huge geographical and situation chart of the six states including Lanzhou, Xizhou, Hezhou, Huangzhou, Shanzhou, Guzhou and other six states. The Guzang Nanshan, Daxue Mountain, Dililing Mountain, Xiaojishi Mountain, and Bayan Mountain are arranged on both sides. The mountains are undulating, the Yellow River, Tao River, and Huang River meander and flow between the mountains, and the tributaries are clearly distinguishable.
Just as the two prime ministers were attracted by the map, they heard a burst of rapid footsteps. They looked sideways and saw that Li Zhong, who was holding the Imperial City Department and a military officer wearing a green robe.
Seeing the military officer, Cai Jing couldn't help frowning. The man turned out to be Zhong Shiji.
Zhong Shiji was originally named Zhong Jianzhong. He was the great-grandson of the great Confucian Zong Fang of Guan Luo, the grandson of the famous general Zong Shiheng, and the head of the Zong family, one of the generals of the Western Army. He was not a pure warrior, but a Confucian general. He once worshipped under the great confucian scholar Zhang Zai. Perhaps influenced by Zhang Zai, Zhong Shiji did not agree with the new party and new policies, and often expressed some different opinions. Therefore, he was not very popular. Not long ago, he could not control his mouth and discussed the "Recruitment Law". As a result, he was impeached by the censor, dismissed the magistrate of Yuanzhou, promoted Qin Feng Changping's dispatch, and changed to the Shunde Army Envoy. This time he came to Kaifeng Prefecture to go to the capital to visit the palace as usual. It was originally a routine matter, but somehow he was taken to Chongzheng Hall by Li Zhong...
Zhong Shiji and Li Zhong both bowed and bowed.
Zhong Shiji is over fifty years old and has a good appearance of kindness. He is gentle and elegant, with a polite and polite temperament, and is as simple as a scholar who has learned from his generation. His temperament is no less than Cai Jing.
Zhao Ji was obviously very satisfied with Zhong Shiji's appearance. He smiled and waved at him and called him to the front of the map stage.
"Cai Jing reported that Qingtang is easy to obtain but difficult to defend. It is recommended that after taking Qingtang City, the land of Qingtang will tempt Renduo's tribe to surrender. Renduo will surrender, and I will cut off the Hexi Corridor. Zhongqing, what do you think of Cai Jing?"
At present, the dividing line between the Song Dynasty and Zongkha and Tubo is in Jingyu Pass in Lanzhou and Anxiang Pass in Hezhou. In addition, Ninghe (Xiangzicheng), where the capital of Hezhou Prefecture is located, is also under the control of the Song army.
The north of Anxiang Pass and west of Jingyu Pass are all areas controlled by Tubo. Anxiang Pass and Jingyu Pass are both on the edge of the Yellow River. The Yellow River has three bays between the two passes, which is very tortuous, and it is actually traveling between the mountains. In addition, the intersection of Taoshui and the Yellow River is also between these two passes.
The Yellow River and Taoshui are the foundation of the Song army's foothold in the Hehuang area. There are many valleys that can be reclaimed along the two rivers, and many Tubo and Western Qiang tribes live in, which can provide certain supplies and war horses. Moreover, the two rivers themselves also have certain navigation capabilities, so that the Song army fortresses along the coast will not fall into the dilemma of logistical interruption.
However, if we want to advance to Huangzhou and Shanzhou (Qingtang), the Song army lost the supply of waterways. Although there was a Huangshui River to rely on, the Huangshui River flowed too fast and the hydrological situation was unclear, so it was difficult to transport materials.
Therefore, once the Song army left Anxiangguan and Jingyuguan westward, they would fall into a situation of logistics supply difficulties.
Shanzhou, Huangzhou, Guzhou and other places have been lost again and again, and this is the reason. This time, Hehuang is opened again, and no one doubts about winning, but no one is sure of defending Shan, Huang, and Guzhou for a long time.
