Chapter 917 Denglai

Six or seven thousand people died, perhaps for small countries like Wu Yue and Northern Han, it was a fundamental cause of wavering, but in Li Xin's eyes, it was only 10% of the total force. If it was used to bribe the lesson, it would be better.

When countries work hard, national strength is the struggle.

Neither Li Xin nor Wang Shenqi would think that this fire was a threshold that could not be crossed.

On the contrary, losing the camp outside the city will, to some extent, be even greater.

Five days later, 30,000 elite soldiers from Zhejiang Prefecture arrived on a boat outside Yangzhou City, and along with them were 5,000 people from Jiangxi Prefecture.

At this time, the total number of troops besieging Yangzhou City, including the navy, exceeded 100,000, barely surrounded the city.

When Li Jia learned that six or seven thousand people were killed or injured in Changsha City, like other prime ministers, he thought it was an insignificant loss.

Because after absorbing 100,000 troops from the entire Wuyue Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty, the imperial camps and local troops exceeded 500,000, especially the Wuyue Kingdom. The 100,000 troops eliminated the old and the young, and there were still 60,000 to 70,000 people. Changsha was really worried if he didn't consume it.

The total population of the entire Tang Dynasty has exceeded 15 million, and five or six thousand people are here, which is extremely inconspicuous.

In the three battlefields, some of Guanzhong suddenly advanced and obtained Dasan Pass; in Jingnan Prefecture, 50,000 or 60,000 people were concentrated in Jiangling City, waiting for a good opportunity, and the imperial camp was also waiting for an opportunity.

The Huainan part is besieging Yangzhou and is in a stalemate.

After this time, it was mid-April? The money and food were spilled like water? Almost half a century was used.

Li Jia felt a little distressed when he was in charge of his family for so many years.

However?                                                                                                                              �

The facts are the same as Li Jia expected? Tokyo City is indeed overwhelmed.

"As Huainan grain and grass are transported to Yangzhou and Luzhou? Shouzhou, now when the green and yellow food is out of reach, the grain prices in Tokyo have increased by nearly two hundred yuan. "

As the only prime minister? Even with two deputy ministers, he was still busy. He knew that the emperor's sudden inspection was nothing more than money and food.

"Hundreds of thousands of people in Tokyo? The food that is now entering Beijing is less than half of the same period last year? The price of this grain has risen and people are in panic."

Zhao Kuangyin also sighed, saying, "It's fine if anything else, but the imperial guards' families are all in the city? If their families are hungry? Even starved to death? How can we fight?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu was shocked and his feet were cold. In this chaotic world, the army was in chaos, and the dynasty changed. No wonder the emperor suddenly came to the Political Affairs Hall. It turned out that he had already noticed the crisis.

However, the food in the capital is all military rations and should not be moved by rashly, so we can only go to the place to extract it.

"I am ashamed of me-" Zhao Pu quickly apologized and then gave the answer: "Now the grain in Huainan cannot be moved, and the generals of the East Road of Shannan must be replenished for Xiangzhou, but now only Henan Road can replenish the grain."

At this time, Henan Road, including Henan, northern Anhui, Shandong, and northern Jiangsu, was extremely vast.

"When it comes to speed, because the canal is located, it is in Pinglu (Shandong) and Hebei Road, these two places are considered fast."

"Then go as soon as possible." Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "If you can carry it, you will be brought here."

"But now it's spring plowing..." Zhao Pu hesitated a little.

"I can't care about that much." Zhao Kuangyin said with a blank face: "Tokyo cannot be in chaos. Other places will be compensated in the future!"

"Here!" Zhao Pu sighed in his heart and bowed to answer.

After Zhao Kuangyin left, Zhao Puming issued a decree, and then signed by the emperor, and then he passed the orders of Qingxu and Hebei Road. For a time, huge uproars were caused in the two places.

As we all know, during the spring plowing season, due to the large labor force, the autumn grain has been consumed after a winter of consumption and the summer grain has not been collected, so it is also called "Green and Yellow".

At this time, the price of grain is the highest, the price of land is the cheapest, and human life is the same.

Logically speaking, the Northern Song Dynasty only asked the prefectures and counties to transport the stored grain to Tokyo, which should not be much harm to ordinary people.

But don't take the integrity of officials too well.

Do you think the grain in the official warehouse is still the same? It has been swallowed up by those big rats for a long time.

The court was very urgent to force it, what should I do if I needed food?

Of course, officials would not vomit out the food. In order to complete the task, they could only choose to add extra taxes, collect levies and taxes, and make more money by the way.

Take out the remaining grain from the farmers, force them to sell their children, land and body, and have a carnival with the landlords and powerful people.

That's fine.

The self-cultivated farmers who barely survived their savings were emptied, and their wives and daughters were sold out, and they were lucky enough to escape, but the corvee service had to squeeze them out.

Because grain needs to be transported to Tokyo, even if it is water transportation, it still requires a lot of corvee service. These strong labor laborers have to leave the land they planted in their homes and let the land be deserted and go to corvee service.

A policy, whether good or bad, will become a harsh policy as long as the officials are not upright.

In fact, there were few fools in the court and few real harsh policies, but they often became carnivals between corrupt officials and landlords and powerful people.

Many people know this, so they would rather do nothing and do not make trouble, and the people will suffer less.

Li Wei started preparations in early February and did not reach mid-April until the time was ripe. He rode the ship of the Hailong Army to gather on Jeju Island.

Jeju, Jinshan, Hei Shui Protectorate, a total of 10,000 people, an imperial guards of 10,000, Minnan Prefecture, Chengtian Prefecture, and Lingdong Prefecture, a total of 20,000 people, a contract of 40,000 people, a two or three month gathering.

After receiving the order, he directly led 10,000 people to land in the two states of Denglai, and easily occupied these two port cities.

In other words, after the infiltration of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Arrivals, the two states surrendered directly before they could kill, which caught Li Wei off guard.

"You guys fell before I could use my strength!"

Looking at the officials of the two states and the spy of the Shooting Division who looked arrogant and was the top scholar, Li Wei really didn't know what to say.

If this happens next, then he will be in vain? If it is not difficult, how can I highlight my heroism and merits?

However, he thought to himself that he was happy and actively talked to the officials with bitter faces, and then he learned that the group of people did not take the initiative to surrender, but was forced to surrender by the Shooting Department. All the family members were in his hands, and the soldiers were not there, and they were forced to helpless.

Even so, Li Wei treated each other enthusiastically, and gained this foothold, saving countless efforts.
