Chapter 1200: The Attack on Cod Castle
Tang Zhangwei fled from the Blue Fish Castle, but the merchants of the Rose Castle and the nobles were unlucky.
The wealth accumulated by these people over the years was looted, and the silver duke of the herring castle, Li Stone, watched his subordinates do nonsense with satisfaction, his face turned red, and he said: "Those thieves are so hateful, I have looted the wealth for so many years, and I have been taken away like this." This time, I want to make the people of the Rose Castle, the people of Tang Zhangwei, and the people of Tang Zhaozong pay the price. ”
The Duke of the Blue Fish Castle is not stupid, he put that wealth in the hands of the merchants of the Rose Castle, in the hands of those merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and when he needs it, he can get it back at any time.
Now, the Silver Duke of the Blue Fish Castle, Li Stone, did just that.
The Duke said to his subordinates, "Go and get me the money first, and I'll eat the duck's paws, the carp's beard, and the frog's legs, and the orangutan lips, and the elephant's trunk." ”
These foods are not so delicious, but they are expensive, which is in line with the identity of the Duke of Herringfish, and he wants to use it to overwhelm the other nobles of those herring castles. At the same time, the Duke of Qingyu, Li Stone, also wanted to use his luxurious life to open the eyes of those subordinates.
Li Sitong, the Duke of Qingyu, said: "I want you to see how strong a nobleman like me is.
"The other nine nobles of the Silver Continent, they know that the wealth of that Duke of Blue Fish is comparable to that of the Duke of Rose Castle, and at the same time, his territory is located by the sea, and there are not so many priests of the Boulder Temple and other nobles to harass him. Therefore, the Duke of the Herring Fish Castle has always made a fortune in silence, but this time he can no longer enjoy his wealth behind closed doors.
The nobles of the herring fish castle, they and their subordinates filled the treasury again for the duke of the herring fish castle, and at the same time spared no effort to make some benefits for themselves.
They went into the treasure merchant and the treasury of the gold and silver merchant, and they swept away the gem and the gold and silver treasures under the pretext of identification, and their excuse was to determine whether they were stolen goods or not.
Once these things are in their pockets, they can't come back.
When the original owner approached them for these things, they said that they were conducting a destructive appraisal of the treasures.
In fact, the reason why these people are nitpicking is just to make a big profit.
That Tang Zhangwei knew that this Duke of Qingyu connived at his subordinates' misdeeds, and although he won the loyalty of that subordinate, he offended the Silver Duke of the Rose Castle.
After Tang Zhangwei fled back to the Silver City, he immediately gathered the 7,000 men and horses of his white-robed army, and he decided to crusade against the nobles of the Blue Fish Castle.
As for Tang Zhangwei's other troops, he still had to stay in Silver City and other settlements of the Tang Dynasty immigrants to help defend the territory of the Tang immigrants in the Silver Continent, many places in this vast Silver Continent are still wild areas, but more places have long been occupied by the ten major families of the Silver Continent and the nobles of the Giant Stone Temple.
The first to act was the nobles of the Cod Castle, who wanted to take the Blue Fish Castle by surprise.
After all, if the Silver Duke of the Blue Fish Castle Li Stone and them collapse, the biggest harvest will be the people of the Cod Castle, so the entire Cod Cheng Abel people are the most active, and they will take their subordinates to the people of the Blue Fish Castle.
That Tang Zhangwei led seven thousand white-robed cavalry to surround the herring fish castle, but they did not attack it.
Under the command of Tang Zhangwei, they occupied the gem mine and the gold mine, so that they had a sufficient source of funds.
Tang Zhangwei ignored the army of the Cod Castle and fought fiercely with the army of the Blue Fish Castle, and he was concentrating on preparing for the gem auction.
At the same time, those gold coins were also minted into gold coins, which made people very envious, and at the same time, everyone knew that Tang Zhangwei had sufficient military salary, so no one dared to take the initiative to challenge that Tang Zhangwei.
The merchants in the Silver Continent, and the armies of the nobles of the nearby Silver Continent, they all knew the news that Tang Zhangwei had enough food and grass and strong soldiers, and they didn't want to mess with that Tang Zhangwei, because Tang Zhangwei's strength was too strong.
In order to raise that more military spending, Tang Zhangwei held an auction.
Many wealthy merchants of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the nobles of the Silver Continent, were invited, these people all wanted to make a fortune in this Silver Continent, the gold and silver, as well as gems in the Silver Continent were really rich, so those nobles and wealthy businessmen all knew that this was an opportunity to make a fortune.
The eyes of all the forces in the Silver Continent were attracted to that herring fish castle.
The officers of the Tang Dynasty, they saw the auction of that gem, and these people were very happy, after all, a Tang general like this had not appeared for a long time.
Tang Zhangwei sent invitations to those merchants and nobles to those gems in the Silver Continent.
Bai Wushu didn't understand why that Tang Zhangwei didn't personally attack that herring fish castle, he said, "How did we start a business here?" ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "Isn't it good to do business? Do you like to fight and kill? ”
Bai Wushu said: "I didn't mean that, I just thought it was a little strange for us to do this." ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "Then don't say anything, you use your brains, that herring fish castle is like a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, if we attack rashly, the nobles of this herring fish castle, they will definitely lead troops to resist desperately." And our subordinates will definitely suffer heavy casualties, but if we let the nobles of that herring fish castle and the soldiers kill each other, won't we just take advantage of the fishermen? ”
Bai Wushu said: "I understand, the general is using stratagem, and I finally understand the meaning of going to the army to plot." ”
After that Tang Zhangwei garrisoned this herring fish castle, their food supply was also very large.
That She Bingbing had supplied a huge amount of grain and meat, and that Tang Zhangwei was grateful for that She Bingbing's supply.
However, the nobles of the herring fish castle, they have looted the merchants and people in the castle, and they are unwilling to surrender, because as soon as they surrender, it means saying goodbye to the comfortable life they used to have.
That She Bingbing, in the process of supplying that grain and grass with that Tang Zhangwei, trained a powerful army.
