Hao Ren after the conference, greatly improved his own momentum in Huainan, and left the envoys of the heroes in Luzhou to postpone for three days, Hao Ren met with the envoys from all walks of life, carried out diplomatic offensives, and discussed the possibility of trade and cooperation, and gained a lot, not one by one!

Finely purified salt and glassy copper mirrors have become the two major profiteering commodities of Qingfeng Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In particular, salt has become a sought-after product that all walks of life are vying to buy, Hao Ren sells at a price of 1.5 times the market price, the number of orders, Qingfeng Army will not be able to produce it in the workshop, however, according to the amount of deposit, determine the order of supply, and give priority to ensuring Qingfengjun's own supply!

Tianwan Red Turban Army occupies Huguang grain production area, known as 'Huguang ripe world abundant' reputation, Tianwan regime and Longfeng regime, only know that both rich and poor, do not dare to be interested in business, Tianwan Prime Minister Ni Wenjun does not do salt market, but in Qingfeng Army ordered a large amount of salt, as a special supply for the army, Hao Ren concession, allowed Tianwan regime to exchange grain for salt.

Li Chahan used 3,000 guan to buy a larger glass mirror in Hao Ren, and presented it to Yuan Huizong Wuha Katu Khan, Yuan Huizong Longyan Dayue, directly rewarded Li Chahan with Pingzhang of Shaanxi Province, transferred Li Chahan's army to the north, away from the main battlefield of the Red Turban Army, and surrounded the Western Route Northern Expeditionary Army of Li Wu and Cui De of the Longfeng regime.

Li Chahan was a Jinshi and the first in the Yuan Dynasty, quite economically-minded, and saw that salt could bring him huge profits, in order to raise military salaries, he actually secretly engaged in the underground trade of salt with Hao Ren, and became the first government-run smuggled salt trafficking organization in the late Yuan Dynasty!

Liu Futong discussed with Du Zundao, and sent Sheng Wenyu as a special envoy to buy salt from Hao Ren at a low price, Hao Ren almost asked Sheng Wenyu to 'hurry up and roll the calf for me'! Hao Ren has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to raise, how can Sheng Wenyu's words make the Qingfeng army lose huge profits? And when Liu Futong and Du Zundao carved up the official positions of the Longfeng regime, could they consider discussing with Hao Ren? When Du Zundao wanted to divide Hao Ren's soldiers and horses, and territory, what did he think?

"There is no money, no food, you can exchange it for gold and jade jewelry, such a trivial matter, discuss it with my chief Shi Mu Youcai, this marshal is very busy!"

Sheng Wen went back to his life in disgrace, Du Zundao and Liu Futong no longer dared to underestimate Hao Ren, and sent the second edict of the additional reward to Anqing, adding Hao Ren as Pingzhang of Huainan Province, the generalissimo of the Qingfeng Army, and the virtual string of the 'prince and young master'.

Hao Ren didn't want to have a conflict with the Longfeng regime, so he sold salt to the Longfeng regime at a price 1.4 times the market, which can be regarded as a reward for the Longfeng regime's increase in official ranks!

The rebel armies north of the Yangtze River have direct contact with the Yuan army, and Hao Ren has tried to find out the bottom line of the princes of all walks of life through the means of fox and fake tiger power, and for at least one year, there will be no contradictions with the rebel armies of all walks of life, and the rebel armies of all walks of life want to resist the counterattack of Meng Yuan, and it is impossible to divide the forces to attack the city occupied by Hao Ren.

The territory north of the Qingfeng Army has been blocked by the Gollum Righteous Army, if Hao Ren is developing north at this time, either to fight the Righteous Army from all walks of life, or to help Liu Futong on the Northern Expedition for free, both of which are not in line with the interests of the Qingfeng Army, the Qingfeng Army wants to develop, and now there is only one way - crossing the river!

Before Hao Ren went south, he took the guards and inspected Anqing, and the military and political chiefs at or above the county level in the Chaoxi Theater were held down the river and toured east to Chuzhou.

After some moves, Hao Ren felt that the rear was stable and the army and the people were united, so he returned to Luzhou, and prepared to cross the river in a big way.

Coincidentally, Guo Zixing returned to the west at this time, and the Haozhou army was unstable, and Hao Ren took Chang Yuchun's 5,000 newly trained cavalry to Haozhou, using force as oppression to ensure the smooth transfer of the rights of the Haozhou rebels. Let Guo Tianxu stabilize the family property left by Lao Guo, sit on the throne of the generalissimo of Haozhou, and promote Zhang Tianyou and Shao Rong as Guo Tianxu's left and right deputy marshals, so that the Haozhou army can be considered to settle down.

The reason why Guo Tianxu was elected as the marshal was because he was Guo Zixing's eldest son, and he hated Zhu Chongba like Hao Ren!

Although the construction of the general workshop in Luzhou has not been completed, however, the general workshop in Shouzhou is safe for the time being! In the north, there is Liu Futong's Tianwan Red Turban Army to cover it, and there are Yang Zhengtai of Anfeng and Guo Tianxu of Haozhou to take care of each other on the left and right, and Shouzhou can sit back and relax for the time being.

On the first day of the first month of April, the soldiers and horses of all units had completed their training, and Hao Ren set out in Luzhou with a total of 45,000 men and horses.

Hao Ren personally joined the army, the Su guard and the naval army of Wanhu Yu Tonghaibu, Deng Yu Sizhou Army, and Jiao Lu's firearms battalion in the Marshal Mansion, crossed Chaohu Lake, and went south to the Yangtze River through Yuxi River.

Tu Danjun and Li Zongke formed the East Route Army, along the east bank of Chaohu Lake, went to Chaoxian County to assemble at Yuxikou, and Chang Yuchun and Yang notified the cavalry of the two roads to form the West Route Army, along the west bank of Chaohu Lake, to gather at Yuxikou!

After three or four months of training, the Qingfeng Army's combat power was unprecedentedly strong, and for a time, the chariots and chariots, the horses and horses, the flags covered the sky, and the guns and spears were like a forest!

……

Wuhu became the first strategic goal of Hao Ren to cross the river!

Wuhu City at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, is not the second largest city in Anhui Province in later generations, but also for Wuxi, Jiujiang, Changsha and listed as the four major rice cities, Wuhu City at this time, is only a small city at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Qingge River, belongs to Mengyuanjiang, Zhejiang Province, Jiqing Road (ruled in today's Nanjing) Taiping Mansion (Dangtu), but known as "Jiangdong Shouyi" and "Wu Tou Chuwei" said.

Wuhu in its heyday, there is a population of 50,000, after the Tianwan regime and the province of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Wuhu is now under the control of Mengyuan, the population has been greatly reduced, there are not many soldiers and horses defending the city, and the rocks and Zhu along the river have already been cleared by Wu Liuqi, the head of the Qingfeng Army's Jiangfang Army.

Hao Ren chose Wuhu to land, the main consideration is the distance factor, he is just opposite to Yuxikou across the river, Hao Ren's army set off from Luzhou, and Wuhu City in the south of the Yangtze River is the closest in a straight line, Luzhou's backup grain, firearms, can be continuously transported from Luzhou through the waterway, directly to Wuhu.

In Wuhu, Marshal Hu Boyan suddenly received a report from the patrol, saying that there were warships heading towards Wuhu, he didn't care at first, he had been harassed by Wu Liuqi's river defense army since he crossed the river from Wu Wei to the south, every time Wu Liuqi fired a few cannons, harassed it, when Hu Boyan climbed the city to lookout, he couldn't help but be surprised!

Thousands of large and small warships blocked the river, and the twenty building ships that bore the brunt of the building were even more than two feet high, almost as high as the city wall of Wuhu, and aimed the muzzle of the black hole at Wuhu City! (To be continued.) )
