Why should the two of them be relieved of their military powers, because these two are a bit inflated. In the vicinity of Jeju Island, the armed forces in their hands are the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, who is one and the same. After a long time, it will inevitably give people the illusion of loving whom.

In fact, there is no need for muskets and artillery, they are also local tyrants, pulley crossbows, siege crossbows, rockets, thunderbolts, in the eyes of Koreans and Japanese are also invincible existences, anyway, they can't be beaten, what's the difference.

But when you return to the mainland, this idea has to be converged and converged, didn't the ancients say that there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to be the king. Compared with the Western Xia and Liao, the armed forces of Goryeo and Japan were too far behind to be used as a yardstick.

always holds the idea that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and it is easy to suffer a big loss when encountering a strong opponent. Now Hong Tao has no capital to make mistakes, and a small mistake may be fatal, so he can only withdraw these two first, calm down, and follow Wang Da's familiarity with the feeling of being familiar with the battlefield before taking over.

"Do you think we've been fooled again, will the adults have been calculating the little soldiers in our hands?"

The chat was stunned because the military power was gone, and Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna were very depressed. But he didn't dare to say no, so he could only leave the stern with his head bowed. Anyway, he is still a deputy general, and if he stays for a while, he may not even be a deputy general.

"Don't worry, my lord doesn't look down on you and me, and if you calculate, you won't give us the musket and artillery first. This time, the pressure of the adults was very great, and almost all the manpower was mobilized, I was afraid that it was not only necessary to fight with the Tangut people. Have you ever thought about what the court and the emperor would think and do after the Tangut people won the battle? ”

Xiao Wuna's starting point is much higher than Jiang Erlang's, and his vision is naturally more long-term and comprehensive. Ever since he led the troops to Yangtze River College, he felt a deep sense of unease.

The assembly of the army was not carried out by the government, and the logistics of the army was also handled by businessmen, so there was no official shadow in sight. Looking at what the newspaper said, it is not difficult to figure out the truth with his previous job experience, and then he is a little apprehensive.

"The Imperial Court? They love to think about it, I'm not an adult, and I won't hand over a soldier to them! Jiang Erlang hadn't thought about this question at all before, and when he was suddenly asked, he still didn't have much thought, and he answered by instinct.

"It's not a matter of soldiers, if you are the emperor and suddenly find that someone can assemble a strong army within a month, and you have the support of the people, what will you think?"

Xiao Wuna didn't expect Jiang Erlang to think of anything, he just wanted to tell Jiang Erlang about the current situation, don't be confused all day long and know how to fight.

“…… It's hard to wronged the adults again! "It is said that Jiang Erlang was the first batch to follow Hong Tao, but he has never been in charge of anything, it's really not that Hong Tao doesn't believe him, but he doesn't dare to appoint because he knows too much. His thinking pattern is stubborn to the extreme, and he still hasn't changed much after so many years, and he is also a freak.

"What do you think adults have been doing all these years? Sometimes maritime merchants, shops, banks, and cooperatives are more desperate than thousands of troops, and that is digging the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Xiao Wuna also looked helpless, this colleague and boss, who may have to be an official in the same dynasty in the future, is really lacking in political literacy. I've watched it on Jeju Island for so many years, but I haven't seen any content at all.

“…… Just rely on this little soldier in our hands to rebel! Jiang Erlang suddenly woke up, but he was actually still a confused worm.

"Someone just said that it can sweep the Western Xia, since the Great Song Forbidden Army can't defeat the Western Xia people, can it also sweep the Great Song Dynasty?" Understand that people really can't reason with confused people, and the more they talk about it, the more they have a clue, and forget what they just said.

"You're not from Song, of course you don't feel distressed if you're all broken, maybe you'll be secretly glad!" As soon as he saw that he couldn't reason, Jiang Erlang began to attack him personally.

“…… No wonder the adults want to remove you, you are only worthy of commanding 500 men! As a captive, Xiao Wuna had long been accustomed to this kind of accusation, but he was still a little angry. This is a pillar of the country in the future, and if he has such ability, the future will not be good.

"No, I'll have to ask someone...... Come on, put the dinghy! Jiang Erlang knew that there would be no result if he talked to Xiao Wuna except for being squeezed, and it was even more unreliable to ask King Liang, and even the deputy general had to be withdrawn.

What to do? He has his own way, and there are Wang Da and Wang Qi on the boat behind, they are all children who have been raised by themselves since childhood, they will not be as mean as King Liang, nor will they be so arrogant as Xiao Wuna, they should be able to gain something.

Will Wang Da and Wang Qi explain to Jiang Erlang that Hong Tao doesn't care, this matter is just like Xiao Wuna was worried about, there won't be much room for maneuver, and the day of the destruction of the Western Xia is the time of a showdown between himself and the imperial court.

Before this, neither side will rush to make a move, just like the Three Kingdoms Killing, any change will involve a chain reaction of at least two sides, so it is too early to consider this issue.

In the noise of ping-pong all the way, it took the fleet 17 days to arrive at Gangneung, mainly because there was not enough wind for most of the time, and it was all dragged by slender men, and it was fast to move forward 50 miles a day. If it hadn't been for the side effects of the typhoon, which had been running for four or five days, it was estimated that it would not have been possible for another half a month.

Jiangling is also a historical city, and many dynasties have used it as their capital, also known as Jingzhou. Boya, Wu Zixu, Qu Yuan, and later Zhang Juzheng are all from here.

Although Liu Bei's allusion to Jingzhou has not happened in history, this area has been a transportation hub for soldiers since ancient times. It borders the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, controls Bashu in the west, and Hunan and Guangdong in the south, and is known as the thoroughfare of seven provinces.

The Yangtze River has made a big bend here, and the water flow has gradually become turbulent, and from Jiangling to the river again, the big ships of more than 3,000 materials can not be dragged by manpower alone, which is also the main reason why Hong Tao asked to build a road passage from the east of Sichuan every Monday. In the absence of powered boats, it is troublesome to enter Sichuan by water alone.

There is no difference between Jiangling City and other Song Dynasty cities, except that the city walls are relatively thin, but they are all built of blue bricks, and the degree of solidity is not bad. It is estimated that there is a lot of rain here, and the rammed earth walls cannot last. The difference is that there is an artificial embankment facing the Yangtze River, which is very long and cannot be seen at a glance.

The person in charge of the promotion club on Jinghu North Road is Wang Jiu, and he has not seen him with a beard on his chin for a few years, and he looks thicker than Hong Tao's. At this time, he was wearing a satin robe and a stiff hat, and he was standing on the embankment with his chest folded and pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.

Six years ago, Wang Jiu came to settle here with a few craftsmen, who were the cousins of a large local landowner, and then used the supply of offshore oil and cotton cloth to develop very quickly.

After Hong Tao distributed the reserve of children's regiments, the big landlord moved his family to Chengdu and sold the family business to his cousin.

It's not that people want to go, but they don't dare not go. There are people from the Shanchuan Supervision Institute, and the local officials dare not say a word, what can he do as a landowner. Anyway, I left a lot of family property, so be content.

With this relationship, Wang Jiu was considered to be half a local, so he immediately began to form trading companies and cooperatives, and he was also very close to the local government.

In a few years, it cannot be said that he has become a local hegemon, but he has people, money, business, and official channels. The landlord's surname is Liu, and when Wang Jiu changed his name, he simply stole a lazy time, called Liu Bei!

Most of the grain needed for Jeju Island was transferred from him, and without it, the north and south roads of Jinghu Lake were rich in rice, and with fertilizer, the output was even greater. The local digestion is not complete, and the amount of allocation from the imperial court is not large, so the price of rice is very low.

Others want to transport it out and sell it and have to hire a ship to transport it, Wang Jiu doesn't need it, the ship transporting whale oil and cotton cloth must not go back empty, just pull all the rice down the river, go to Yaoliu Sandbank and change to a sea boat to Jeju Island, in exchange for whale oil, and then go north to the Shandong Peninsula, and then load cotton cloth and come back, the transportation cost can not be lower.

In less than two years, he became the largest grain merchant on the north and south roads of Jinghu Lake with his huge shipments, not only supplying Jeju Island, but also rice bags printed with Liu Bei's words in the city of Guangzhou.

Every year when the new rice comes down, Uncle Xiaohuang's grain warehouse can be built in the local barracks, which perfectly interprets the meaning that money can make ghosts grind.
