Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

In fact, Lin Ning's backup plan was not used.

The Song clan captured Yuzhang faster than planned.

This has nothing to do with Lin Shihong's lack of military spirit. Moreover, the current momentum of the Song Clan has also brought a lot of psychological pressure to the Poyang Army. In addition, after the war, Lin Shihong not only did not come to sit in the town, but instead commanded a few times in Jiujiang County. , making the morale of the army even more slack.

Well, they later found out that Lin Shihong had died before the war started.

It's just that Lin Shihong still has to carry on with this blame. Who made him hang up so fast and be so caught off guard.

After taking Yuzhang again, Jiujiang County and Yuzhang were soon connected. Except for some troops in Xin'an County, the Poyang Army still had some troops, and the remaining remnants were basically not worth mentioning.

In addition, the Poyang Army in Xin'an County is even more isolated and helpless under such circumstances, and even faces Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army far away. It can be said that they have no way to advance, and they have to surrender if they retreat.

This did not require much hesitation, they chose to surrender.

As a result, Lin Shihong and the Poyang Army were "annihilated", as well as Ren Shaoming and the Iron Cavalry Association.Unlike the former, where the army surrendered and belonged to the Song Clan, the latter was strictly annihilated, except for the small gangs that were forced to be included in the Cavalry Club, there were also martial arts people who did not do so many evil things.

Most of the rest were beheaded for public display.

And the members of the iron cavalry club who were spared by the net were not thrown into prison, but they were not recruited, but were sent to labor reform:

Split mountains to clear roads and build passes.

It turns out that there is another Dayuling with a total length of more than 200 miles between Lingnan and Jiangnan. Among them, Meiling is the throat of Dayuling. Because the descendant of Goujian, the descendant of Yue King Goujian, Han general Mei Yu once built a city here and defended it on the mountain. It is named after the widely planted plum tree.

In this dynasty, because Emperor Yang Guang dug the Grand Canal, he went south along the Grand Canal from the Central Plains, passed through Yangzhou, traced the Yangtze River and entered Poyang Lake, then went up the Ganjiang River and Zhangshui, and crossed the Dageng Mountains to enter Lingnan. It is the main passage to the north of Lingnan. At that time, the land route from the Central Plains to Lingnan via Jiangxi was still opened up in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Not to mention that it was in disrepair for a long time, and the mountain road was narrow and deep, which was not conducive to communication.

Therefore, rebuilding the pass in Meiling has become a major event.

Those people in the martial arts forest are much more patient than ordinary civilians, so it is suitable to send them to repair the Meiling mountain pass.

Of course, they alone are not enough, and experienced road craftsmen are still needed to come to sit in the town.

In addition, the workshop has already been researching and developing equipment that is conducive to road construction, and the explosives used for blasting have been deployed several times in an effort to complete the construction of the Meiling pass quickly and smoothly.

It's just that it will take longer than capturing Yuzhang. It is estimated that it will take at least two months.

This is an absolutely unprecedented speed today, and Lin Ning can only be content, knowing that in addition to technical limitations, there is also a shortage of labor.We must know that the population of the whole country is less than 4000 million at full count. What's more, after Emperor Yang Guang's three conquests of Korea, and the devastation of wars in recent years, it is a blessing to have 3000 million left!

It can be said that looking at the past, there is an indescribable sense of desolation everywhere.

Under this premise, in many cases, it is simply impossible for a clever woman to cook without rice.

So can the labor force not be liberated?Women and children, the more the better!Fortunately, women have not been suppressed in many ways at this time. Needless to say, if you are a small family, how can you support your family if you don’t come out to work? In today's Lingnan, there are so many opportunities to work. Even women can have the opportunity to earn more money and food than the men in the family, so that their families and themselves can have a full meal. In this way, who would refuse to go out to work? .

It was not enough, Lin Ning looked at the construction plan of Meiling post road in his hand and was very worried.

When Song Zhi came over, he thought something terrible had happened.

"Yuzhi?"

Lin Ning rubbed his brows: "Second Uncle, why are you here? Don't say you are pleading for those people in the martial arts world?"

Song Zhi: "...you know that there are several first-class masters in this group of martial arts people, right?" Such masters are not always guests everywhere, but in the end they become road builders here.

Lin Ning didn't take it seriously: "The winner is the loser. Besides, I didn't think about letting them build the road all the time. After the Meiling pass is completed, I will arrange them according to the situation. And second uncle, don't look at them at the beginning. Complaints abound, none of them are complaining right now."

Song Zhi couldn't help asking: "What did you do?"

Lin Ning said with a calm expression: "It's nothing, I just took them to see Zhashan."

Song Zhi: "..."

After this big stick was beaten, they were all wilted, not to mention, and they didn't dare to do it again.

Lin Ning also thought about giving them a sweet date later, and definitely training them to be excellent road builders.

cough.

It is to let them work hard.

Song Zhi saw that she was sensible, so he didn't intervene in this matter, and talked about the news he just got: "Li Yuan has raised troops."

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows: "I said earlier that he was hesitant, but now he seems to have made up his mind, but I don't know if the divine food has increased his confidence."

Song Zhi pondered and said: "It's hard to say, but what we can be sure of is that Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, who were attached to the Turks, raised troops and gave Li Yuan the just and fair excuse he wanted. In fact, he used the excuse to resist Liu Wuzhou As for the food relief and recruiting soldiers, this still aroused Yang Guang's fear. The deputy left behind in Taiyuan wanted to report that the Li Clan had colluded with the Turks, so the Li Clan had to pre-empt the attack and report on him. Just as the Turkic army attacked Jinyang, Li Yuan raised his troops in a legitimate way. .”

Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou both belonged to the Yingyang faction among the ten associations and eight gangs.

The two men had the support of the Turks in their uprising, and the Turks, like Tie Le, who sent Ren Shaoming into the Central Plains to harm the Central Plains and plot the great cause of the Central Plains, had no ambitions to invade the Central Plains.

Lin Ning put down the blueprint in his hand, "The Li Clan raised troops in Taiyuan and wanted to compete in the Central Plains. There are only two ways to go. One is to go west to Guanzhong, and the other is to go south to Henan."

"Now that the Wagang Army is in full swing, the Li family will not choose the route south to Henan, so the only way left is to enter the customs." Song Zhi continued Lin Ning's words, "The Sui army in the pass is weak, and the Wagang Army is being defeated again. Other heroes are besieging, and at the same time the main force of the Sui army is also dealing with the Wagang army, so I am afraid that they will have no time to look around. If this is the case, it will not be too difficult for the Li clan to enter the customs."

But the Song clan would not just watch the Li clan drive straight down and occupy Chang'an in the pass.

Lin Ning agreed, it's just that they are a bit out of reach now, but it is not without countermeasures: "The weapons of the Li Clan are four or five out of ten from the Dongming faction."

"Yuzhi wants to cut off the Dongming faction's supply of weapons?" Song Zhi thought about the feasibility of this strategy, "The Dongming faction is not weak, and it is inextricably linked with the 'Badao' Yueshan and the Yingui faction. There are many connections, and the Dongming faction is best at making high-quality weapons, not only very famous in Jianghu, but also in the eyes of all forces, they are also the objects they want to compete for, which is very similar to the Pegasus Ranch."

Lin Ning knew more, Dongming's wife, Shan Meixian, was born to Zhu Yuyan and the "Bad Sword" Yue Shan, but was raped by the "Magic Shadow" side by that lustful hungry wolf, and left Ryukyu gave birth to her daughter Shan Wanjing.

Song Zhi went on to say: "In fact, we can adopt a soft policy towards Dongming faction."

Lin Ning: "Second Uncle said——"

Song Zhi reflexively said: "I didn't want you to marry the princess of Dongming faction!"

Lin Ning: "—we can use us to destroy the Nanhai faction, which has always been in conflict with the Dongming faction. The Dongming faction's perception of me, the Song clan, will not be any worse?"

Song Zhi: "...um."

Lin Ning did not let the old man go because of this, but looked at Song Zhi with a sad face: "Why do I feel that I have become a hungry ghost in the eyes of my second uncle?"

Song Zhi laughed dryly a few times.

Lin Ning didn't hold on to it anymore, and talked about the business.Even though the Dongming faction is not weak and has a special status because of the supply of weapons, they are not located in the Central Plains like Pegasus Ranch, but in Ryukyu. Even asking for help is not so easy.

What's more, today's southeast sea area is basically under the control of the Song Clan. Even if they don't show mercy to the Dongming faction, if they use means on the sea lanes, it will be enough to make it difficult for the Dongming faction's weapons to be transported ashore.

It only makes money through harmony, and the Dongming faction has not had much trouble with the Song Clan. Besides, there is also the relationship with "Badao" Yue Shan. Even though Song Que defeated Yue Shan back then, he still respects a master like Yue Shan.

So the Song Clan first went to contact the Dongming faction to have a look, and then talk about other things.

Song Zhi nodded.

After talking about the Dongming faction, I went back to Li Yuan's army, but this time it was not on the Li faction, but on the Turks and Teller who were eyeing the Central Plains.

Song Zhi said proudly between his brows: "'Flying Eagle' Qu Ao and his son and his disciples were caught by Yu Zhiyou, which is undoubtedly a painful blow to Tie Le. Even if they had the intention to invade the Central Plains, they would not You have to worry about yourself first. Neither the Eastern Turkic nor the Western Turkic will tolerate Tie Le growing up behind their backs. The biggest foreign aggression is still the Turkic, and they are not enough to support Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou. They have already sent troops to take advantage of it. You can see it when you enter the void.”

For a long time, the Turks have been the foreign aggression of the dynasty.

Lin Ning explained his thoughts: "The Hailong Gang has landed in Jiujiang County now, and when the Meiguan Post Road is unblocked, then the trade in Lingnan will go northward more smoothly, take Yuzhang to Jiujiang County, and then go to Jiujiang County or take a boat Or take a horse and go north to connect the north and the south. I don't think it will take long. There will be many business networks just south of the Yangtze River, and most of them will be in our hands.

North?The Northern Chamber of Commerce headed by Rong Fengxiang is an obstacle, but we can unite with other commercial firms that have not been won over by Rong Fengxiang, and then go north to establish trade relations with the Turks, and trade our sea salt, tea, silk, etc. with the grasslands in exchange for Their mutton, sheepskin and cashmere, or cattle and horses, don't need to be afraid of being unable to sell in large quantities. No, the larger the quantity of a single commodity, the better.

If things go on like this, the Turkic people will have a mentality of dependence on our Central Plains businessmen. Once our side cuts off the transaction, it will have little impact on us, but for the Turkic people, it will have a big impact. It is impossible for them not to eat Salt, it is impossible not to like a stable and full life. "

Song Zhi was still confused at the beginning, but when Lin Ning said something later, he understood a little bit: "At that time, if we don't need to deal with the enemy, they will be in chaos first."

Lin Ning nodded: "Exactly."

Don't all the people there hope so?

It's just that such economic sanctions are not feasible overnight, especially the Song Clan's foundation in the north is very shallow.But there is a passage like this:

When there is 50% profit, capitalists will take risks;

When there is 100% profit, capitalists will flout the law;

When there is 300% profit, capitalists will trample on everything in the world.

The "capitalists" here can be replaced by the vast majority of people, and there is no shortage of people who dare to fight and struggle in the world. Lin Ning thinks that she can make this big cake attractive. , It can be left in history.

So from now on, you can take pictures slowly, Lin Ning will write this down, and is going to go home and pull Mrs. Song onto her warship. It is best that Mrs. Song can also pull together the famous families in Lingnan Come on, it is beneficial for everyone to plot together.

The same goes for Shuzhong.

Speaking of "profit", Lin Ning couldn't help but think of one thing.

"By the way, Second Uncle, Xiangyushan is dying."

Song Zhi was taken aback: "Huh? What's going on?"

Xiangyushan is the number two figure of the Baling Gang. As mentioned earlier, the Baling Gang has a huge influence. There are more than [-] gambling houses and more than [-] brothels throughout the country. It has rich information, but its reputation is extremely bad. The evil deed of capturing beauties for Emperor Yang Guang, and also abducted and trafficked people.The chief master, Lu Kangshou, had been assassinated and forgotten before that, and the second master, Xiao Xian, is currently in charge.

Xiao Xian also rose up shortly after Lu Kang was assassinated and died, the relationship between them is slightly subtle.

Anyway, Xiang Yushan and his son were not only the core figures of the Baling gang, but also played a pivotal role in Xiao Xian's Liang army.Like Xiang Yushan, he was in charge of intelligence work, his death would deal a very serious blow to the Baling Gang and Xiao Mian.

Lin Ning said slowly: "Lin Shihong and Ren Shaoming formed an alliance in Jiujiang County, and Xiangyushan came to Jiujiang County quietly with the idea of ​​gaining something to do. After our people occupy Jiujiang County, we will seek to assassinate Lin In the name of an attempted assassin, Shi Hong and Ren Shaoming closed the gates of the city, only allowed in and not out, and went door-to-door to investigate, and finally found him.

Originally, when he came to the door like this, I ordered someone to do it, but he did a lot of evil things. The explosion in the garden behind the building didn't hurt the front garden very much, but he was hit by a stream arrow nearby. Even if I didn't ask someone to do it, he would I can't live long. "

In the end, Lin Ning said: "Oh, this is really self-inflicted."

Song Zhi subconsciously took another look at her, always feeling that this matter was not such a coincidence.

Lin Ning looked back.

Song Zhi paused and said, "That's not true."

This was really sincere, after all, it was a good blow to the strength of the Baling Gang and Xiao Mian.

Lin Ning lowered his eyes and sighed: "Don't talk about Xiangyu Mountain, just say that this time you have completely offended the Yingui faction. It seems that there is no possibility for me and Wanhou."

Song Zhi: "……That's not it."

Leaving aside the part about Houhou, let’s just say that this time they are completely against the Yingui faction. With the style of the Yingui faction, they will never stop there.

Lin Ning should be more careful here.

·

Lin Shihong's Poyang Army and Ren Shaoming's Iron Cavalry Club, the largest forces in the south of the Yangtze River, spread the news that the entire army was wiped out, causing an uproar.

Everyone guessed that the Song Clan would go north, and there would be a scuffle with Lin Shihong, but they didn't expect that this was not a scuffle, it was an overwhelming victory for the Song Clan.

What's more, the death of "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao was also shocking.

Not to mention the gossip saying that they were wiped out by the regiment, even if Ning Daoqi came forward, it would be impossible to kill Qu Ao, Lin Shihong and Ren Shaoming who are equally famous in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that they have many subordinates with strong martial arts skills .In this comparison, Lin Ning, the person in charge, was naturally once again brought to the forefront.

In addition to her deeds such as leading the army to destroy the South China Sea faction and occupying Yuzhang, she was in the limelight for a while.

This time, Wan Wan looked more sideways, but he also understood the Song Clan's terrifying weapons more clearly than before.Even the Dongming faction couldn't make it, presumably it was someone from the Song clan who helped, and looking at such exquisite weapons, anyone in the world could have such ingenuity, Lu Miaozi was the first one that Wanwan thought of.

Lu Miaozi, when he was young, took over the feud with Zhu Yuyan, the "Queen of the Yin", and was hunted down by Zhu Yuyan endlessly for a while. Finally, the intelligence of the Yingui faction showed that he seemed to have fled overseas, so Zhu Yuyan reluctantly Stop chasing him.

Unexpectedly, after many years, he is very likely to show up in the Central Plains again, hiding in the Song Clan.

If this is the case, it also makes sense. After all, there are not many people in this world who are not afraid of the Yingui faction, and the Yingui faction is afraid of it. "Heavenly Sword" Song Que is one of them.

Even if it wasn't Lu Miaozi who made such ingenious weapons for the Song Clan, it was very likely that he was inseparable from him. Even if it didn't matter, if he could be taken away, it would be able to break an arm of the Song Clan.

After all, the Yingui faction is not a vegetarian, and they can't take revenge after being severely injured—"Sword of Heaven" Song Que and Song Yuzhi are not easy to get along with, so just pick the soft persimmons that are useful.

Wan Wan sighed leisurely as he thought about his trip to Lingnan earlier.

Speaking of going back to the famous Lin Ning, she returned to Lingnan from Meiling. Apart from going home to have a look, she also brought a lot of things that Lin Ning would be interested in because of foreign businessmen entering the Central Plains. There are cotton seeds.

Cotton originated in India and Arabia, which are now called Tianzhu and the Western Regions respectively. Before cotton was introduced to China, China only had kapok that could be used to fill pillows and mattresses, but no cotton that could be used for weaving.This is also reflected in the font. Before the Song Dynasty, there was only "cotton" and no "cotton".

Now that there are cotton seeds and the Poyang Lake Plain where cotton is planted, if it goes well, there will be a large area of ​​cotton next year, and a new industrial chain will appear by then.

Lin Ning went to find Mrs. Song full of ambition, and almost limped Mrs. Song, and finally won Mrs. Song's wholehearted support.

A few days later, news leaked out from the Dongming faction, saying that a ledger of the Dongming faction was stolen, and that ledger was a bit unusual, attracting Dongming princess Shan Wanjing to the Central Plains.

Lin Ning: "No."

This ledger is presumably the one that records the purchase of weapons by the big clans. In the original plot, Li Shimin wanted to steal this ledger and present it to Emperor Yang Guang to force his father Li Yuan to rebel.

Now this ledger has indeed been stolen, and it was stolen by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. The two of them stole this ledger mainly to avenge their godmother, Fu Jun, who was killed by Yu Wenhua, because the ledger also has Yuwen faction on the ledger. The purchase record is enough to prove that he has the heart of rebellion. If he wins the imperial court, he can use the hand of Emperor Yang Guang to get revenge.

It's just that the imperial city is not so easy to enter, even if Emperor Yang Guang is now in decline.

The Dongming faction didn't want the ledger to be released to the public, as it would not benefit their own reputation at all, so Shan Wanjing followed up and went ashore.

If we talk about the role of the account book, in the original plot, it was presented to Emperor Yang Guang by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and then became the last straw that crushed Emperor Yang Guang to death——Yu Wenhua and his endless killing of the emperor .

The death of Emperor Yang Guang led to the intensification of the battle. As far as the current situation is concerned, after the death of Emperor Yang Guang, the Yuwen Clan will face Li Mi and the Wagang Army. In addition, the former Sui general Wang Shichong joined the battle and defeated the Wagang Army. As a result, the Wagang Army was defeated.

If you just look at this, it will be beneficial to the Song Clan. Lin Ningluo thought about it and wrote to Song Zhi, asking him to play by ear and add to the flames as soon as he can.

Then something unexpected happened to Lin Ning. Li Mi revealed his intention to form an alliance with the Song Clan, and sent his son Li Tianfan and the handsome military division Shen Luoyan to interview.

Originally, because of Du Fuwei's visit to Liyang, the Song Clan intentionally restrained them, and they intended to form an alliance with Li Mi and marry at the same time. Unfortunately, the change of Lin Ning was born out of nowhere, and the alliance ended.

On the contrary, the Song Clan was somewhat covert, and had contacted Zhai Rang, the leader, to intensify the conflict between him and Li Mi. It was impossible for Li Mi not to know about this, but what made Li Mi want to make friends with the Song Clan?

Soon Li Mi showed his sincerity, and they intercepted the news that the Yingui faction intended to turn to support Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army.If this is the case, then the Jianghuai army will definitely go west in a large scale, and Jiujiang County, which the Song Clan has just occupied, may be in jeopardy.Adhering to the strategy of long-distance friendship and short-term attack, the Nawagang Army and the Song Dynasty might as well continue their original alliance intention and join forces to attack the Jianghuai Army.

As for the little tricks behind the scenes?Who hasn't, right? Now we must focus on the overall situation.

To be honest, Lin Ning is somewhat disapproving.

Lin Ning does not think that Li Mi can endure the Song Clan's instigation of the Wagang Army, and with the Song Clan's current momentum, after the Song Clan and the Wagang Army Alliance deal with the Jianghuai Army, the most profitable is still the Song Clan, Wagang The army is still separated by the Yellow River and the Huai River.The most important thing is that the Wagang Army is now surrounded by the enemy from many sides, and it has no spare power to go south.

It is true that Li Tianfan and "Pretty Military Advisor" Shen Luoyan went south with a team.

But not only their group went south, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling who just stole the ledger and went ashore also went south, accompanied by Ba Fenghan, a master from Turkic.

Lingnan is about to gather talents.
