Chapter 763: Businessmen are braver than imagined
After discussion among the four chiefs of the Kushan tribe, Duan Ran decided to send back all the elites from the south and west, instead of sending the domestic army to King Qin. The ten armies inside and outside Fulousha City were no match for the Han Empire, and he would let the other side bully him without giving him a lesson.
The Kushan Empire will only become more passive.
Let’s talk about the Han Empire. Ma Chao’s battle can be regarded as showing the majesty of the Han Dynasty. The Han army has been discussing the matter of Ma Chao leading the direct cavalry brigade to enter the Kushan Empire Palace. Being able to ride into the Kushan Empire Palace on horseback is enough to show off.
A lifetime, even if you die in battle, it is an honor for everyone.
So when the Han Empire learned that its side had lost more than 700 cavalry in exchange for more than 20,000 casualties from the other side, and that Ma Chao seriously injured the other side's emperor, everyone thought it was a great victory. On the third day of the battle, the Han Empire's 50,000 infantrymen
When Liu Xin followed Liu Xin to the outside of Fulousha City and began to persuade the local people to migrate, it was also seen from the behavior of the military camp outside Fulousha City that the soldiers in Fulousha City were very afraid of them and were very aware of the power of rifles and grenades in their hands.
The other party saw that the Han infantry had established a garrison outside the city as planned, and rarely left the military camp when migrating the people.
Liu Xin was also very satisfied when he learned that Ma Chao seriously injured Kanisega. From the performance of Fulousha City, it can be seen that Kanisega must have been seriously injured, or that Kanisega was already dead. Kanisega
As the greatest emperor of the Kushan Empire, he would never allow the Han to act at will outside Fulousha City without the outcome of a decisive battle with the Han. His original plan to paralyze the Kushan Empire in one battle could no longer be carried out.
.
In any case, everything is still within the plan of the Han Empire, and the situation is much better than expected. Liu Xin is not worried that the war will last too long. The Han Dynasty will have too much food to eat, and the strong national power can support 150,000 people in fighting.
There are no problems, but it will have a great stimulating effect on the domestic transportation industry and the military industry.
What is more important is to give the army an opportunity to practice combat and test the achievements of the Han Empire's new weapons and military reforms in the past five years. This is important for the future development of the Han army and the governance of the country. At the same time, this war can also increase the patriotic education of the domestic people, so that the already stable
After more than ten years, the man also understands that the world is not as harmonious as he can see, so everyone should not lose their sense of crisis and urgency.
If possible, Liu Xin was even willing to let the elite Han elites of these three armies stay at the border of the Kushan Empire, putting constant pressure on the other side while constantly training elite soldiers for the Han Empire. So how did the Han Empire gain benefits from the Kushan Empire? Liu Xin
Now I basically have a rough idea in my mind.
"Your Majesty, Gong Jin and the others have arrived at Gaofu City!" Liu Xin was surrounded by the Han military camp in Fulousha City, and the Jin Yiwei said to him.
"The speed is so fast, it seems that the teaching team is also very anxious!
Tell Gong Jin to let him lead the teaching team to Fulousha City, and let the teaching team also try on the battlefield. Now that the emperor of the Kushan Empire is injured and can't take charge, the Kushan Empire is weak, and it is a good opportunity for everyone to get familiar with the battlefield.
Liu Xin echoed.
The Jin Yiwei had just left, and Liu Xingang left the barracks and planned to take a look outside Fulousha City. If he had the chance to enter Fulousha City, it would be best if he could kill the Emperor of the Kushan Empire. He also wanted to see this person who could
The emperor of the Kushan Empire who allowed the Kushan people to grow from a nation of less than 100,000 people to a huge empire with a population of 20 million.
After leaving the camp, Liu Xin saw engineers building camps everywhere. The Han Empire planned to build a camp outside Fulousha City for more than 100,000 troops. The scale of this camp was larger than that of ordinary cities. It was so expensive.
The Frost Empire used huge pressure to urge the opponent to fight with itself.
The Fulousha City army is now unable to fight a decisive battle with the Han Empire. Seeing that the Han Empire is already building a strong camp wall, they can only keep urging King Qin's army to arrive quickly. The Han Empire cavalry is dividing its troops to monitor Fulousha City, and the 50,000 infantry only have
Five thousand are in the camp, and the others are migrating the people outside Fulousha City according to the plan, while exploring the surrounding environment and terrain, and detecting the movements of the Kushan Empire army outside the Fulousha area.
In just three days, 80,000 elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty arrived outside Fulousha City from Lanshi City. This speed was unimaginable before. All the generals of the Han Dynasty clearly felt the changes in the Han Dynasty after the military reform, and everyone became more confident.
Win the battle because today's soldiers deserve the peace of mind of all generals.
"Why did the caravan arrive so quickly?" Liu Xin came outside the military camp and saw a caravan of about 300 people in the distance, pushing nearly a hundred carriages and driving towards the military camp. They did not have the flag of the Chamber of Commerce, and all the Chamber of Commerce personnel
Neither of them were wearing military uniforms, so they looked particularly obvious.
"Your Majesty, that is the caravan from Lanshi City. The news that General Ma Chao entered the Kushan Empire Palace the day before yesterday afternoon reached Lanshi City at noon yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, a caravan transported various supplies to Gaofu City. I don't want to
We have arrived outside Fulousha City so soon." Huang Xu next to Liu Xin said to Liu Xin. Huang Xu is mainly responsible for the migration of people outside Fulousha City. Now that the soldiers of the Kushan Empire dare not leave the camp, he is also in the military camp.
On duty, Liu Xin requires that two of the top ten peerless generals must be on duty, and the military camp cannot be damaged in the short term.
"Merchants are very profitable. During the wars of the Han Empire, the price of materials was at a premium based on the distance between the railway terminal and the trading point. A caravan delivering materials here could basically earn 30% of the profit, which is already very good.
If you are lucky and make three trips a month, you can earn more than double the profit. I often hear people say that the bravest of my great Han Dynasty is not the Twelve Divine Generals, but the Great Han Caravan. Without me, the Great Han Caravan would not dare to do so in this world.
Where to go, haha!" Liu Xin said and laughed.
The land of China has emphasized agriculture over commerce since ancient times. In the hands of Liu Xin, commercial development was regarded as the foundation of the national economy. Therefore, commercial development was not something that anyone in the Han Dynasty could imagine. The power of the chamber of commerce became more and more powerful. Many times, the chamber of commerce would choose to cooperate with the imperial court for their own interests.
The confrontation shows how powerful the Dahan Chamber of Commerce has become.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Regarding the development of the chamber of commerce, Liu Xin is not worried at all about the court losing control, because the largest chamber of commerce in the world is his own, and the court controls the economic lifeline of the bank, and the chamber of commerce cannot change the world, so he
He was very indulgent towards the Dahan Chamber of Commerce. Sometimes the cabinet thought Liu Xin was too indulgent towards the Dahan Chamber of Commerce.
"Transporting supplies is not the main purpose of these chambers of commerce. I heard that the Han army was migrating people from Fulousha City. Many chambers of commerce came here like chicken blood. Now my most profitable business is human trafficking. Bring a Kushan
When ordinary people in the empire return home, they will make a profit of at least one hundred yuan, which is more than the profit of thirty carts of grain.
Some chambers of commerce take a village back to Lan's City at once and make a profit of tens of thousands of Han Yuan once it is resold," Huang Xu said.
"These chambers of commerce are so bold for the sake of profit. If they encounter Kushan Empire soldiers, they will all be killed. Go and tell the person in charge of the chamber of commerce here and tell them not to take risks easily. If something happens to that chamber of commerce, the business will
The ministry will punish them severely," Liu Xin said.
If something happens to a caravan, the chamber of commerce will provide compensation to all caravan members. If such losses are heavy, the Ministry of Commerce will continue to punish them. If something happens to a caravan, the entire chamber of commerce may lose its skin.
"The Chamber of Commerce is getting bolder and bolder. It's time for them to restrain themselves a little. After arriving at Gaofu City, many caravans went to the west of the Kushan Empire alone. These caravans were powerful. In addition to not having muskets and grenades, they even had crossbows.
Yes, there are. Ordinary Kushan Empire soldiers do not have more than three times the strength, so it is difficult to defeat them.
These chambers of commerce are more open to entering the western part of the Kushan Empire than they are in the Six Parthian Kingdoms, so we have to be more careful." Huang Xu meant caution, and only Liu Xin knew what it meant.
Liu Xin is not afraid of the threats to the Han Empire from the Kushan Empire, the Parthian Empire, or even the Roman Empire. He believes that he is the only one who can threaten the Han Empire in the future. Nowadays, many chambers of commerce in the Han Dynasty secretly name many private caravans. They are in many places outside the Han Empire.
They all have their own bases, which can be found out from Jinyiwei and Qilin Chamber of Commerce channels.
Liu Xin also knew that two of the ten largest chambers of commerce in the Han Dynasty had secretly established their bases in the Kushan Empire. Here they secretly became local emperors and quietly developed here. Many of the Han Dynasty's advanced equipment were secretly transported here. If Liu Xin
Ignore these things, maybe ten or twenty years later the Han Dynasty will have many more powerful opponents.
"Haha! This is actually good, isn't it? The world needs more distinctive societies to appear rich and colorful. The Han Empire absolutely controls the country's elite army and controls the development trend of the entire world. And we have twelve divine generals, so we must be broad-minded.
, must accommodate everything." Liu Xin said.
"Your Majesty holds the whole world in his heart, which I cannot compare to. Maybe a few mistakes can make everything perfect. The key point of my big man now has been firmly controlled by your Majesty a long time ago. As long as I don't make big mistakes, I will be able to make everything perfect."
If the system continues to innovate, the Han Dynasty will always control the entire world." Huang Xu said.
"So, just be yourself. We can only try our best to guide the Chamber of Commerce. This is also the foundation of our country's future governance.
If one day some people's selfish intentions have affected the foundation of the entire Han Dynasty, then let the Jin Yiwei quietly solve it. Try not to have an impact on the Han society and don't let ordinary people see it. If there is something that the Jin Yiwei cannot solve, then let the Jin Yiwei solve it.
The Han army quickly disintegrated the other side." Liu Xin said.
Huang Xu has followed Liu Xin since he was a child. He is like Liu Xin's student and son. Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Xu Shu may not be able to transcend the world in the future, so the big man will most likely focus on Xu Shu. Therefore, Liu Xin tries his best to let Huang
Learn more and use new thinking to consider various problems.
After leaving the military camp, Liu Xin rode on horseback with only a few hundred guards behind him. He saw many people from the Kushan Empire gathering here outside the military camp. Soldiers distributed food to them. When these people gathered in the hundreds, they were taken away by a group of soldiers.
Some people were gathered by caravans from outside. They made many promises to these people and brought them back to Xianzhou and even other states in the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xin and Huang Xu came to the west of Fulousha City. They saw the soldiers in the Kushan Empire military camp here staring at the distance on the camp wall. Three battalions of Han cavalry were divided into the camp and seemed to be wandering aimlessly.
Sometimes even within a hundred steps of the opponent's military camp, some soldiers and a family of people appeared far away and were heading towards the Han military camp. The Kushan Empire soldiers looked at these without any reaction.
When they arrived outside Fulousha City, the soldiers on Fulousha City Wall looked at Liu Xin and the others warily. In the distance, Zhao Yun saw Liu Xin walking towards Liu Xin with a battalion of cavalry.
"See your majesty!" Zhao Yun dismounted and saluted Liu Xin.
"Is there any response to the letter of challenge given to the other party?" Liu Xin asked, staring at the top of Fulousha City wall.
"There is no response. Now the soldiers of the Kushan Empire basically don't even leave the military camp. There are very few letters between them in the city and the military camp. Today I led the troops to conduct a tentative attack on the military camp in the south of the city. The other side defended and resisted.
I think Jianishejia's situation may be very bad now." Zhao Yun said to Liu Xin.
"Send a letter to Fulousha City and see if the person in charge of the Kushan Empire dares to meet me," Liu Xin said.
As long as the other party can pay the price and is willing to live in harmony with each other according to the Han's wishes, the purpose of this expedition can be regarded as accomplished. After all, it is better to use gentle methods to capture the Kushan Empire.
Zhao Yun shot Liu Xin's trust arrow on the Fulousha city tower. Some soldiers saw it and took it, but after a long time no one talked to Zhao Yun. When he saw this, Liu Xin and Huang Xu left outside Fulousha city.
Go to the villages and towns outside the city to check.
The villages and towns outside Fulousha City are now very quiet. Not all the people here have left with the Han army. The villages and towns are staying in the village and looking outside with vigilance. The Han Empire can send away thousands of people every day
All are good, and there are more than 200,000 people outside Fulousha City. After all, it is an advantage to be able to do ideological work in villages and towns, and the soldiers of the Han Empire cannot attack ordinary people, so the two sides have reached a stalemate.
Liu Xin often saw a company or a platoon of Han soldiers passing by near these villages and towns. They showed no signs of harm to these villages, but they appeared from time to time. They were constantly giving the people a message that the power of the Han was unstoppable, and those who followed the Han could survive.
Have a good life.
In this way, the people of the Kushan Empire will have to communicate with the Han caravans sooner or later. The food at home is definitely not unlimited. After seeing the goods of the Han caravans and understanding the current situation of the Han, the people will be tempted. Sooner or later, the people in these villages and towns will follow the Han soldiers.
, the caravan leaves.
When it got dark, Liu Xin and Huang Xu returned to the Han military camp. Liu Xin asked Huang Xu to take his guards back, and he planned to go to Fulousha City. Huang Xu didn't say anything after hearing this. He had seen Liu
