Jiang Wang didn't know about other places, but at least in Jiacheng City, Deacon Qian's escape only spread in a small area after all, and the "work" of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance here was still continuing.
Mainly relying on the warehouses established in various places when we first settled in.
Outside Qingyang Town, the so-called "job" is nothing more than how the warehouse managers in various places can sell these materials at high prices without starving too many people to death - even if the situation is weak, Yang Guo The official bottom line is that citizens must not starve to death.
All the money that could be taken away was taken away by Deacon Qian, leaving only a large amount of materials hoarded in warehouses everywhere.
Ironically, the new city lord of Jiacheng was still hesitant to deal with the charter and did not immediately take over the supplies. After all, the opponent was the Four Seas Merchant Alliance of Qi State. Like many officials in Yang State, he still had illusions about Qi State.
After all, after being a dog for so many years, he often seems to regard himself as his master.
The new city lord of Jiacheng is named Shi Mingjing. Over fifty years old, many years have been wasted. The reason why he was able to pick up the position of Lord of Jiacheng City was purely because of another relationship.
He is actually the adopted son of the fourth concubine of the Rizhao County Sheriff!
I don’t know how I got involved.
In short, he became the adopted son of Rizhao County Sheriff. With such a "relative" relationship, I was able to take office.
In today's chaotic Yang Kingdom senior management, no one cares about such a thing.
At least in Jiacheng, there is actually no shortage of supplies. At the beginning of the disaster relief, the Sihai Business Alliance used its strong mobilization capabilities to mobilize a large amount of materials and store them in various places.
Didn’t you see that in Qingyang Town, the bald guard Chen Yong and the others left, and the warehouse they left behind still supported the expenses of tens of thousands of townspeople.
On July 27, under the operation of Deacon Qian, resources were gradually mobilized to Qingyang Town.
July 28th. The new City Lord of Jiacheng just woke up from a dream and banned the circulation of materials in all parts of the city. He took over all the materials in the name of the City Lord's Mansion and made arrangements.
As for the people of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, except for those who ran away, he captured most of them, tortured them severely, and asked for their property.
But it didn't matter to Jiang Wang anymore, the material warehouse in Qingyang Town was already full. At least enough for the people of Qingyang Town for three months.
No matter what the commander-in-chief of the Qi army thinks, there is no way the war will be postponed until November.
By July 29, the news that Qi's army was trapped in the country had spread.
In the official letter of credence, the intention expressed by Qi State was still to help Yang State block the mutated plague and maintain the security of the Eastern Region.
Apart from not allowing people to come in or out, they seemed to have no battle plan at all. Of course, Yang Guo was also given enough time to organize an army - the confidence reflected in this was particularly disappointing.
The people of Yang State actually knew very well that they no longer had a powerful army with real fighting capacity. Not to mention the last strong army that the previous monarch destroyed.
In just these years, following the Qi army in sending troops, they continued to lose numbers and blood in previous wars. In the end, what they got back was not the hardened soldiers, but only a large amount of financial rewards from the Qi State.
The Yang Kingdom seems to be getting richer and richer, and its treasury is getting fuller and fuller, but its military strength is declining again and again.
This is a boil-the-frog weakening. It is a pity that many people have not discovered this until now when the army has locked up the country.
Yang Jiande knew it very well, but because he could see through it, he couldn't refuse. The only result of refusal is to accelerate the process of national destruction.
So later he gradually handed over his power and devoted himself to practice. On the one hand, there is no hope in the national affairs, and the hope is transferred to the extraordinary strength of the individual. On the other hand, it is not an escape.
Because the Yang Kingdom was so weak, after Yang Jiande killed the prince, he did not immediately summon the army to fight the Qi army. Instead, he begged for surrender and risked the face of the king in an attempt to deceive Chongxuan Chu Liang. Arrive at Zhaoheng City, surround and kill them.
If Xiu Tu can be killed, it will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the entire Yang Kingdom. Yang Jiande himself was able to buy a certain amount of time and move around. Either seek support, win over allies, or create conflicts within the Qi people... In short, it is the only way to break the situation under the current circumstances.
But Chu Liang, Chongxuan, ignored him at all and sat firmly in command, unmoving. It seems that he is no longer brave as before, but it makes people feel more desperate.
Not to mention the big situation. Let’s just talk about Rizhao County.
When people all over the Yang Kingdom were panicking, the aging Song Guang, the governor of Rizhao County, made another "wonderful move".
He actually forcibly requisitioned supplies from all the cities under his control and required that the rations retained by each place should not exceed seven days' needs. All were handed over to the county government for unified deployment, and he strictly controlled the rations to stabilize the people in the county.
They also demanded a huge amount of money in fixed amounts, saying it was to support the army and protect the country. But because it has not been through Yangting, there is no official name. It is only called "national saving tax" in private.
This series of movements is no longer dazzling, it is simply blinding and deafening.
As far as unified dispatching of rations is concerned, dispatching each city in the name of the city lord's palace is no longer at the same level of difficulty as dispatching the entire county in the name of the county government. It's a complete waste of personnel and resources at the expense of easy things.
Song Guang is not stupid.
How could Song Guang be a fool with no strength despite being the governor of a local county?
Although many of the decisions he made seemed silly during the period when the country of Yang was in turmoil.
But this kind of "foolishness" was compared to Yang Guo, but to him, it was a very wise decision.
If the Yang Kingdom could recover, he would be able to stabilize the situation.
If there is no tomorrow in Yangguo, he has seized the resources. To put it bluntly, you can get a good price if you sell it.
However, where Jiang Wang was, he felt less comfortable.
Because the collection document from Jiacheng City Lord's Palace has been sent to Qingyang Town.
Of course Jiang Wang ignored it and tore it into pieces on the spot.
He was not rich himself, so it was difficult for him to satisfy the desires of the old man, the governor of Rizhao County. As for the supplies hoarded in Qingyang Town, they were the lives of more than 30,000 people in the town, and it was impossible for him to let go.
But what he didn't expect even more was...
Just one day later, Shi Jing, the new city lord of Jiacheng, mobilized the city guards and sent troops to Qingyang Town! !
…
Outside Qingyang Town, the army formed a formation.
The general has not yet drawn his sword, but his murderous intent has already filled the sky.
The Jiacheng City Guards totaled 10,000 people, and the Xi family completely evacuated the Yang Kingdom. Some middle- and high-level generals left, but the army could not take them away. Some talents have been lost, but the general structure remains.
No matter how much Shi Jing relied on nepotism to gain his position, he still knew the importance of military power, so the first thing he did when he took office was to take control of the army, and he actually achieved results.
After his adoptive father Song Guang gave the order, he was the most active among the city lords.
However, the entire Jiacheng city area, as the hardest hit area by the plague, has experienced the evacuation of the Xi family and the harvest of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. It is no longer rich, and there is no trace of oil left on the ground.
He led the army to Qingyang Town, firstly to kill the monkeys and scare the chickens, and to establish the authority of the new city lord. Secondly, he got the exact news that Deacon Qian of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance had collected a large amount of money and was hiding in Qingyang Town.
Of course he didn't know about Jiang Wang's murder of Xi Munan.
To be on the safe side, he brought five thousand city guards with him this time. Those recruited are all elites.
Except for the garrisons necessary to maintain order in various parts of the city, almost everyone was mobilized. Not to mention, through personal connections, he also invited two top Tenglong Realm experts from the county government to join the army.
All preparations are made just for one battle, nothing goes wrong!
