Chapter 638: Finance and War

When Yue Yun recruited hardcover among the displaced people to organize an army alone, Hu Quan, who was in charge of Goryeo, checked in various mines, Hu Quan was the most powerful Great Song courtier in Goryeo, acting domineeringly, and transporting a large amount of Goryeo's wealth to the Great Song Dynasty, which made some powerful people in Goryeo dissatisfied, but they all knew that they must rely on the Great Song Dynasty now, and when Hu Quan mined minerals, he also pulled some magnates and the royal family in, and the most important thing is that it is difficult for these magnates to mine minerals, and they must rely on the power of the Great Song Dynasty and craftsmen and machines.

However, Hu Quan was also a little surprised by the large number of minerals in Goryeo, and there were many gold mines south of the Yalu River and north of Pyongyang, and the discovery and mining of these gold mines made the Great Song Dynasty obtain huge benefits, and also gave North Goryeo enough finances to carry out wars against the south and adopt various policies.

In addition to the gold mines, there are many coal mines in the vicinity of Pyongyang, and the previous Goryeo regime did not make efforts in this area, and Hu Quan also increased the mining of coal mines.

When Zhao Shu mined coal in Shou County, and obtained a lot of wealth, it can be said that the mining of coal mines is Zhao Shu's family history, and now the large coal mines of the Great Song Dynasty are mined by the imperial court, and coal has become the main fuel for people.

The coal mines mined by Hu Quan were not used much in Goryeo, and most of them were shipped to Shandong and other places by pan-sea, and then shipped to the south.

In addition to gold mines and coal mines, there are many mountains in Goryeo and there are also many iron mines. Like gold mines, most of the iron ore is concentrated in the northern boundary. Compared with gold mines and coal mines, iron ore is much more important. It is related to the major affairs of the military state, and the people's livelihood is concerned. Zhao Shu once had a strict order to Hu Quan, all the iron ore mined by Goryeo was transported to the concession for refining, and the steel produced was sold to northern Goryeo or to the land of Shandong in the Great Song Dynasty or supplied to the border lands.

With these minerals and a large amount of iron and steel, the northern part of Goryeo gradually outnumbered the south in strength, and the Great Song Dynasty also infiltrated Goryeo in all walks of life, firmly controlling it.

The minerals of Goryeo and the silver of Fusang became a huge wealth of the internal affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, allowing the Great Song to concentrate on the affairs of the Quartet.

Hu Quan looked at the ministers who followed him on a newly developed gold mine and said, "The cabinet has a letter, we must step up the gold mining!" When Hu Quan said, a minister said with some solemnity: "My lord, there is no problem with these gold mining, but the refining of red gold is a little difficult, and the Ministry of Heavenly Industry is urging it tightly, and the requirements are also big, and I don't know if they really make things or are greedy for ink!"

Hearing this minister's complaint, Hu Quan laughed and said: "Don't pay attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Heavenly Work, they naturally act reasonably, as long as there is a warrant from His Majesty, no one can care, now His Majesty seems to be doing something, a large amount of minerals are needed, we have dealt with the matter here, naturally Jane is in the emperor's heart!"

When Hu Quan spoke, he looked at the craftsmen and countless puppets who were coming in and out of the gold mine, and his face was also a little solemn.

In addition to His Majesty's orders, there are also secret orders from the secret guards in the letters from the cabinet these days, and a batch of weapons needs to be secretly transported to the Western Regions by the secret guards, but from Goryeo to the Western Regions, the road is far away, the danger is too great, and the only thing to occupy is secret.

If Hu Quan didn't know that some of these weapons were sold to the envoys of the Western Regions, and some of them were to the Han people in the Western Regions, it seemed that he wanted to help them attack Tianzhu.

Over the past few days, Hu Quan has gradually understood that His Majesty is going to gather the wealth of the world and the Great Song Dynasty, and the small countries around him will either surrender or destroy the country, but Hu Quan did not expect that His Majesty's hand has reached Tianzhuzhong.

When Hu Quan was figuring it out, Zhao Qian of Hezhong City also welcomed Xiao Char, the envoy of Western Liao, who was the general of this attack on Tianzhu, and Guo Yi and other Han generals came with Nahar.

After placing Nahar, Zhao Qian summoned Tian Feng, Wu Zhen and others to discuss the attack on Tianzhu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as soon as this Xiao Char came to the city in the river, he took advantage of military affairs to visit all parts of the city, especially the armory and grain depot, and there were many reproaches in his words, it seems that they are not friendly to us, what do you think?"

When Zhao Qian asked, Tai student Hong Xu said: "The general pacified the river, with tens of thousands of troops, and it is also the most loyal Han army, which has made many people criticize, this Xiao Char must have come to watch the truth!"

Tian Feng also said lightly: "Yes, this Xiao Char is a descendant of the Western Liao nobles, originally guarding the Western Regions, when Yelu Dashi's soldiers entered the Western Regions, this person still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, which is also the foundation for Yelu Dashi to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, his nature has always been arrogant, and ordinary people can't get into his eyes at all." I heard that as long as he mentioned my Great Song Dynasty in the past, no matter who he said, he would use the word 'Nanban' as a suffix, and now he was sent to lead the attack on Tianzhu, firstly, it is to attach importance to the attack on Tianzhu, and secondly, it should be to weaken us, this time when attacking Tianzhu, we must be careful to deal with it!"

"Well, this Xiao Char has sent Guo Yi and Sudden Aji to attack the Lost City, and His Majesty's current order is to let Guo Yi and us jointly take charge of the Lost City! But the news from the Star Sect, Yelu Dashi is also ready to mix sand into it, and then it will become a tripartite control, but everything will be under His Majesty's control. ”

When Zhao Qian said this, everyone nodded, which could also distract some attention.

"General, who is the main one in this attack on Western Liao, and how many soldiers and horses are there in command?"

"I personally commanded three thousand soldiers and horses to accompany me, here by Tian Feng, Hong Xu commanded, I have reported this matter to the Western Liao, and only if I leave, the Western Liao will rest assured that you will be stationed here, if the Yelu Dashi of the Western Liao is still not at ease, then you will retreat into the dock fort in my fiefdom, hold on, I believe that Yelu Dashi will not dare to blatantly attack the territory of the nobles!"

When Zhao Qian commanded, he also wanted to use the conquest of Tianzhu to prove his strength and prove his ability to His Majesty.

When Xiliao was fully preparing to conquer Tianzhu, Ju Mang led the army of the Fire Luo Kingdom to Tianzhu, this Ju Mang is an ancient wood god, but also known for his wisdom, this time to conquer Tianzhu's Feiluo Solid City.

This big city is also a big city in Tianzhu near the river, and the style of the Western Regions is more than that of Tianzhu.

Outside the city, thousands of ox carts, rolling up the overwhelming yellow dust, war drums and cattle barking, resounding through the world, these ox carts are a kind of chariot unique to the Tianzhu army, at this time these ox carts form a wide fan, galloping into the position of the country of Huoluo.

The degree of these oxen running can not be compared with the war horse, but the short distance sprint is still very fast, thousands of thick ox legs gallop on the ground, the ground trembles, especially the Tianzhu people think that the ox can bring them victory, at this time it is even more to kill these evil cultists.

When many of the troops of the Fire Luo Kingdom saw the scene of a thousand oxen galloping, they couldn't help but turn pale.

The Tianzhu archer in the ox cart stretched out his arms and bows, and shot up to the sky, and a thousand arrows were like electricity. Fortunately, the army of the Fire Luo Kingdom was well-trained, and after being shocked by the ox cart, he saw a large number of bows and arrows, and immediately reacted. It was as if the rain had hit the canopy, and most of the arrows falling from high in the sky fell on it, and a few of them penetrated the gaps between the shields and fell into the group of soldiers.

Some soldiers were stabbed in the thighs, and some unlucky were pierced in the necks.

After the first rain of arrows, the second wave of arrows arrived. Because the distance is closer, the shot is higher, and the arrow penetrates more. Many shields were pierced by them, and several of the soldiers held their shields, and their hands were pinned by arrows, and blood flowed profusely. But not a single person cried out in pain, and not a single person dropped his shield.

In a chariot pulled by ninety-nine white horses behind the army of the Fire Luo Kingdom, Ju Mang said with a bored face: "When will you break through this city?" I heard that Donkey Kong's method was obtained from this Tianzhu, and I am still ready to take a good look at this Tianzhu after conquering it!"

Hearing Jumang's inquiry, a general's face was a little ugly and said: "Qiqi gods, this Tianzhu people are not good at fighting, but half of the people in this city are Tianzhu people, half of them are Turkic descendants, and there are many Hui people, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong, but we already have a way to quickly break through these ox carts!"

"Hurry up!"

The sentence was boring, and he continued to resume his cultivation.
