April 23rd.
The sky is clear and cloudless.
A cavalry squad of more than ten people wore a navy blue flag on their waist.
Speeding all the way past the new girl Qi Cheng, who had already begun to take shape.
He ran towards the Bashang grassland in a mighty manner.
Not long after.
It used to be full of ruins.
Nowadays, Nuqicheng is gradually rejuvenating with vitality.
Completely left behind by everyone.
After several short breaks.
The cavalry team of more than ten people finally appeared at the beginning of the sunset.
Successfully arrived at the Yanjun camp located more than 80 miles away from Xinnuqicheng.
However, there were only a few wounded soldiers left in the Yan Army camp at this time.
The remaining ones were still conducting inhuman training in a valley more than 20 to 30 miles away from the Yan Army camp.
Unknowingly.
The first sunset quietly dyed half of the western sky red.
at the same time.
Suddenly, the sound of rumbling horse hooves came from outside the quiet Yan Army camp.
It seemed vaguely that even the earth was trembling slightly.
Not long after.
A huge flag appeared extremely abruptly on the horizon.
Don't wait for others to see clearly the pattern painted on the huge flag.
Countless black figures suddenly appeared on both sides of the huge flag.
And it was approaching the slightly neutral Yan Army camp at a speed that seemed slow but was actually very fast.
As countless black figures continue to approach.
The ground beneath the Yan Army's camp began to tremble more and more.
The sound of horse hooves that followed had the potential to soar into the sky.
A quarter of an hour or so.
Countless black figures arrived hundreds of steps away from the Yan army camp like black clouds pressing down on the environment.
"slow!"
A big man in black armor who looked like an iron tower at the front of the black cloud suddenly raised his whip high and shouted loudly.
"Captain Xin has an order! Slow down!"
"Captain Xin has an order! Slow down!"
"Captain Xin has an order! Slow down!"
As soon as Xin Sixuan finished speaking, the guards, heralds and others beside him immediately repeated loudly.
at the same time.
The huge flag located a few steps away from Xin Sixuan suddenly swayed from side to side very rhythmically.
After more than ten breaths.
The cavalry team of nearly five thousand people suddenly slowed down like waves of wheat blown by the wind.
When there were only more than a hundred steps away from the Yan army camp.
The cavalry team of nearly 5,000 people completely reined in the dismounted horses.
Stopped neatly in place.
No need to look closely.
You can detect the existence of various military formations from the cavalry team of nearly 5,000 people.
The front of the cavalry team.
Xin Sixuan, who looked like an iron tower, silently looked at the actual distance between this place and the camp.
Then he silently drove his horse forward for a few steps.
After counting the interest.
Xin Sixuan turned his horse's head and looked around the entire cavalry team without saying a word.
A full half-quarter of an hour passed.
Xin Sixuan just nodded slightly.
See this.
All the soldiers of the Yan army in the front breathed a sigh of relief.
Since entering April.
In addition to daily drills, actual combat drills, and field water search, direction identification, hunting and other drills, the five thousand Yan soldiers were trained.
Add a few more exercises.
The most demanding of the new drills is "running long distances without breaking up".
This new drill is also recognized as the most grueling drill for all soldiers.
In the early stages of this drill, nearly 90% of the generals in the Yan army's camp were called to the Chinese army's tent by Xin Sixuan.
From the moment the leading generals walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
The soldiers under his command
The soldier's nightmare has quietly begun.
Practice more! Practice more! Endless training!
If it were not for the constant supply of all kinds of herbs in the camp.
There are also military doctors who monitor the physical condition of the soldiers at all times.
As well as a variety of meats available in unlimited quantities at all times in the camp.
The soldiers may have completely collapsed from such intensive training and training.
Fortunately.
After more than twenty days of endless training.
Due to small differences in the size and speed of the war horses.
Although the five thousand soldiers of the Yan army could not guarantee that they would always keep the same pace as the horses beside them when they were running for a long distance.
But if it is just a requirement to enforce orders and prohibitions and keep the formation intact, etc.
Naturally, there are no problems at all.
"Enter the camp!"
"Everything is in place!"
In front of the main entrance of the Yanjun camp.
Xin Sixuan calmed down for a moment, then waved his hand and ordered in a deep voice.
The words are over.
Xin Sixuan turned the horse's head again and walked towards the camp slowly and slowly.
And behind him.
Nearly five thousand Yan soldiers still maintained a tight formation and slowly entered.
After walking three to four hundred paces into the camp.
They had just separated from the large army in an orderly manner under the command of their respective generals.
Walk straight towards the camp where you are staying.
Until then.
Nearly five thousand Yan soldiers still maintain small military formations one after another.
After a while.
Four "ghosts" followed Xin Sixuan into the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi, who was privately called a ghost by Yan's soldiers, walked slowly and quickly to the chief's seat.
Xin Sixuan, leader Wenxin, Wenxin, and Gengzhi took their seats on the left and right sides of Xia Shou in tacit agreement.
"Captain Xin."
"No practice tonight."
"Tell the soldiers to rest early after dinner."
"Let's light a fire and make rice on time tomorrow at Mao hour."
"We broke camp at Chenshi and set off to return to Juyang City."
Xu Yi sat upright on the main seat, slowly took off his fine steel armor, and then gave instructions.
It was due to Emperor Zhengde's imperial decree urging the dispatch of troops.
Around mid-May, Xu Yi needed to order his troops to go on an expedition.
It's now late April.
There really isn't enough time.
Fortunately, after several months of inhumane training, more than 5,000 Yan soldiers were able to fight.
It has been completely transformed.
"yes!"
Xin Sixuan heard this and stood up, clasping his fists heavily and saluting.
The words are over.
Xu Yi slowly took off his green-faced fang mask.
Then he turned his head slightly and looked at the thick pile of documents on the side of the desk in front of him.
"If you have nothing to do, you can rest first."
"We'll review today in an hour."
Xu Yi silently made an estimate and then spoke.
"yes."
Leader Wenxin and others stood up and resigned after hearing this.
Wait until Leader Wenxin and others completely disappear behind the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi moved his muscles a little, and then picked up a document from the side of the desk.
The signature at the bottom of the document was clearly that of Yang Xian'an.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then opened it and read it carefully.
It is different from the document submitted by Yang Xianan earlier.
This letter describes everything since April.
Various incidents caused by grain prices in Shanggu County.
Yang Xianan had already reported a large part of the incidents to Xu Yi.
However, the previous reports were not as detailed as this document.
Therefore.
This document is not so much a report
Clear document.
Rather, it is a comprehensive review document.
Nearly half an hour later.
Xu Yi put the document in his hand aside with a normal expression.
Then he picked up a document from the side of the desk again, opened it and read it carefully.
The signature of this document is Sun Daohua.
After nearly half an hour.
Xu Yi successively opened and read more than ten documents from Zhu Guangli, Fan Chongxian, Song Yuanfu, Hou Wenyuan, Pang Wenze, Dong Hongzhang and others.
Although these more than ten letters all describe the same thing.
However, due to different personnel, the perspectives of looking at the problem are also different.
Read more than ten documents.
Not only did Xu Yi not feel tired from reading at all.
On the contrary, I gained something from the paperwork.
In Xu Yi's plan for this disaster in Yandi.
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze were officials of the same county.
The beginning of the incident naturally requires the control of Sun and Pang.
That is: raising grain and announcing the sale of grain at a fair price.
This will kick off a comprehensive "counter-offensive".
Among them, the food raised by Sun Daohua was the food previously "donated" by a number of aristocratic families in Juyang City.
Part of the grain raised by Pang Wenze was confiscated grain from the Xie family in Yuyang, and part of it was secretly given by the Dong family in Yuyang.
The core of this plan is to create a "food shortage panic."
After the counterattack curtain is completely raised.
There will inevitably be some small and medium-sized aristocratic families and merchants whose interests are cut off, and there will be panic over food shortages and other factors.
And choose to take risks.
The reason why Xu Yi made such a judgment.
It is simply because there are many aristocratic families and merchants transporting grain to Yan.
To a certain extent, being numerous and mixed means a mess.
before the real fatal crisis arrives.
It is extremely difficult for a group of aristocratic families and business firms with different sizes and intertwined interests to unite into a force.
To deal with a pile of loose sand, food and panic are enough.
It didn't matter even if Panshasha suppressed his inner evil thoughts due to Liangman's panic.
In Xu Yi's plans, there will inevitably be one or two "accidents" that make him no longer able to exercise restraint.
Once someone chooses to take risks.
The plan formulated by Xu Yi can start the second step smoothly.
That is: deploying troops to suppress "bandits" and collecting grain from the bandits to fill official warehouses.
This further artificially creates a food shortage panic.
At this point, someone will inevitably be unable to sit still and take the lead in lowering prices.
Even if everyone can sit still, Xu Yi is not afraid at all.
It is nothing more than exposing the small and medium-sized aristocratic families and merchants controlled by the Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families in advance.
This was the original purpose of controlling these small and medium-sized aristocratic families and merchants.
At that time, it will just be a matter of early exposure and late exposure.
Once someone starts to cut prices, the second step of Xu Yi's plan will be completed successfully.
Next is the third plan of the chain plan.
That is: Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families choose the actual ending.
Based on the Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families' own strength, influence and their own food reserves.
Once the Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families come to an end, a huge uproar can be caused in Yan Land in an instant.
at the same time.
The Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families cut off the Yandi waterway.
The new officialdom issue that Wang Wenlian is responsible for will also quietly kick off at this time.
At this point.
No matter how strong the concentration of those aristocratic families and businessmen is, it will probably be extremely difficult for them to remain sober.
At that time, there are only two options in front of the group of aristocratic families and businessmen.
1. Be willing to go with the flow and cut prices to regain blood.
2. Return home by land.
There seem to be two options.
But in fact both land and water routes were cut off.
After going round and round, those who were waiting for the group of aristocratic families and merchants had no choice but to just go with the flow.
The reason why the advance and retreat alliance of the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Zhuojun finally succumbed to Zhu Zongting and the others.
The fundamental reason lies in this.
Of course, there is a deal involved.
This deal means that the Zhu, Fan and other families will eat the food in the hands of the three counties' advance and retreat alliance.
It’s just that the price needs to follow the trend.
And here we are.
The third plan in the chain will be considered a successful conclusion.
It's no exaggeration to say so.
Since a group of foreign aristocratic families and merchants made their plans to come to Yan and transported grain to Yan.
A group of foreign aristocratic families and businessmen have unconsciously fallen into Xu Yi's serial conspiracy.
Every step he took thereafter, to a certain extent, had Xu Yi behind him.
It can even be understood that a group of foreign aristocratic families and businessmen were led by Xu Yi from beginning to end.
As for the last plan in the series.
That is: eat the most food at the lowest price possible.
Part of the food eaten is used for food storage.
Part of it was used to support the people of Yan to survive the immediate disaster.
The other part will be transported by water to neighboring food-deficient counties after the matter is resolved.
Such as Daijun, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Guangyang and other counties.
Or sell it at normal market price.
Or make exchanges with neighboring counties.
If it is for sale.
Due to snow disasters in Liao, food shortages in Yan, floods in Dai, and people gathering in crowds to rebel.
Even if you sell it at the normal local selling price, you can still make a lot of money.
Most of the money exchanged will be used for military reserves.
If it is an exchange.
The objects of exchange are naturally not the county and county governments.
The exchange items are naturally the iron ore and Chengping iron blocks that are most scarce in Yandi today.
By then, Yan Di's overall strength will undoubtedly reach several higher levels.
Therefore.
No matter what angle you look at the problem from.
Xu Yidu undoubtedly made a lot of money from this catastrophe, and his mouth was full of oil.
Bashang grassland, inside the main tent of the Yan army camp.
Xu Yi put down the last document in his hand and closed his eyes.
Quickly review the entire plan in your mind.
Nearly half an hour later.
Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of clarity.
For it.
The food shortage in Yan Land has come to an end now.
After counting the interest.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then removed the bookmark from the top of the document on one side of the desk.
With the departure of the instruments used to distinguish types of instruments.
A document that was slightly different from the previous document suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yi's eyes.
The document was clearly signed by Lu Wensu, the chief official.
Xu Yi took out the documents without hesitation, opened them and read them carefully.
Yang Xian'an and others were busy with things such as leveling food prices.
Wang Wenqing and others were busy working on the new official road.
Wang Wenlian and others were busy rebuilding Nuqicheng and other matters.
As the chief officer of Prince Yan's Palace, Lu Wensu was never idle.
The matters he is responsible for are directly related to the reconstruction progress of the former Nvqi.
and the implementation progress of the new official road.
Due to the continuous decline in grain prices in Yandi and other reasons.
The 200,000 people raised previously will inevitably have doubts.
Therefore.
Under Xu Yi's instruction.
During this period, Lu Wensu perfected the layout of the Yandi food stamp exchange office.
To this end, certain detailed rules have been formulated to regulate and supervise food stamp exchange offices.
besides.
Lu Wensu is even more married
The actual situation in Heyan.
A series of plans including salary adjustments for civilian husbands were made.
Soothe the restless hearts of the people at the root.
This will ensure the progress of the construction of the old female Qi and the new official road.
Two quarters of an hour later.
Xu Yi closed his eyes and meditated for nearly half a quarter of an hour.
Then he stood up, poured water and grinded the ink.
Wait until the ink is thick enough.
He sat down again and picked up his pen.
He drew circles in the documents written by Lu Wensu and wrote with his own opinions.
Not long after, one side of the document was covered with dense small characters.
It’s not because Lu Wensu’s plan wasn’t thorough enough.
But many places can actually be more perfect and perfect.
