Chapter 137 Plan and Move

Han Yanzhi is really in trouble.

When the warship just passed Zhuyazhou, it encountered wind and waves. As a result, Han Yanzhi's fleet lost its direction and had to return to Zhuyazhou. It was not until it was sunny that it sailed back to Jiaozhou under the guidance of the guide. But this time, Ruan Ming was given time to prepare.

In fact, it's not only Lu Qiang, but also Han Yanzhi didn't pay attention to the wild state of Jiaozhou at all before he left. In his mind, as long as his heavenly soldiers arrived, Ruan Ming did not take the initiative to plead for surrender?

The fact is that Ruan Ming pretended to send someone to comfort the army, and then boobed Han Yanzhi, who was mistaken for a general, on the beach, and then ambushed hundreds of soldiers who had previously landed.

If Han Yanzhi hadn't seen the opportunity and drove all the warships away from the coast, I'm afraid Ruan Ming's army would have killed the ship. In this way, Han Yanzhi still lost several warships.

Han Yanzhi did not dare to be careless. While docking the warship in Zhuyazhou, he sent people to ask for help. He only had 5,000 navies and lost hundreds. If he went ashore to fight with Ruan Ming, once the back road was blocked, there would be a danger of the destruction of the whole army. He could not take such a risk.

After receiving this news, Lu Qiang knew that he despised the enemy. Only then recalled that in his previous life, when he was in the Celestial Empire, that small broken place often provoked trouble. Later, because he could not defeat the Celestial Empire, all the people were soldiers. Women and children did everything. He only sent 5,000 sailors to pacify that place. He really wanted to Of course.

The current situation is either to increase troops or retreat. Now in Guangzhou, there are no less than 50,000 strong troops on the road, so there is no problem to send more troops, but Jiaozhou is still far from Guangzhou after all, and the road is difficult to travel. Obviously, it is not possible to rely on maritime supplies alone.

And in that case, the war is easy to fall into a stalemate. At that time, it will definitely outweigh the gains and losses for a fledgling force like Jingzhou.

It's even worse. Everyone on earth knows the people in that place, which is famous. If they retreat so depressly, once their army retreats, what will they do? So we must teach them a hard lesson and let them know what fear is.

Just when Lu Qiang hesitated how to send troops, suddenly a bodyguard newspaper came to Jiaozhou.

People from Jiaozhou?

Lu Qiang was stunned at first, and then sneered. He was always the best at fighting and talking. He didn't expect that Ruan Ming would also do it, but he really couldn't underestimate this person.

waved Zhu Zan over and said, "Go to meet someone from Jiaozhou and listen to what he means? Don't fall into the momentum of my dynasty"

There are 100,000 mountains between Jiaozhou and the Central Plains, so he gave Ruan Ming the courage to fight against the imperial court, and since Lu Xun occupied Guangzhou, he has been paying close attention to the movement here. In addition, his detectives have their own channels to get information when they have been operating in Panyu, so Han Yanzhi is still gathering people to prepare to go to sea. At that time, Ruan Ming had already received the news.

As Lu Qiang thought, his idea was to hurt Lu Qiang first, and then talked to Lu Qiang. As long as he was allowed to Yongzhen and Jiaozhou, he would surrender to Lu Qiang.

Ruan Ming is a native of Jiaozhou, but he is also a Central Plains. He knows that those virtuous monarchs in the Central Plains attach great importance to face and reputation. As long as they give them enough face and give gifts to a minister, no one is willing to pay attention to his remote land. Of course, he can continue to be his land. The emperor.

It's a pity that Lu Qiang is not so broad-minded. The land of the Han people will never allow anyone to be involved and divided. No matter how you swallow it, you have to spit it out for me.

The person who killed me, just want to say something nice and give some gifts? I remember that a great power leader in later life once said that it was God's business not to forgive the enemy. My task was to destroy the enemy and let them beg God's forgiveness.

Zhu Zan soon came back and bowed to Lu Qiang and said, "Your excellency, Ruan Ming sent someone to fight with the imperial army is a complete misunderstanding. He has dealt with the perpetrator and begged for forgiveness. At the same time, he asked the adult to be transferred back to the army. He promised to be the best minister of the court and sent a lot of property."

These words were expected by Lu Qiang and nodded, "What did you say to him?"

"My subordinate told him that the majesty of the imperial court is inviolable, and it is not enough for him to deal with a murderer without permission. If you want the adult to calm down the anger of thunder, you must come in person, otherwise no one can protect Ruan's assassins when the army is killed."

Lu Qiang was satisfied with Zhu Zan's words, meditated for a moment and said, "What do you think of this matter?"

Although Zhu Zan only works as a secretary beside Lu Qiang, Lu Qiang knows that this boy is very smart. If he was just a dhower, he would have returned to Yangzhou with his father at the beginning.

Zhu Zan only thought that Lu Qiang was being tested him and said proudly, "As the saying goes, if you are not of our race, their hearts must be different. Jiaozhou is located in the south. Most of the residents are indigenous mountains and have been unconvinced by Wanghua for a long time. Therefore, their subordinates think that they must be treated with pressure first. Only by thoroughly hurting them can they be afraid of adults, and then assist them. With appropriate decrees, let the people get the favors of the imperial court, so that they can gradually recover the hearts of the people."

Zhu Zan's words, deeply combined with Lu Qiang's heart, nodded and said, "You are going to hold my general's order, mobilization of 10,000 horses, and at the same time recruit sea ships to prepare to go to sea to support General Han."

Zhu Zan's head didn't react and said, "Big... Did you let your subordinates lead the army?"

"Hehe! It's still a little early for you to lead the army, and those soldiers may not be able to follow your command and make a look, but there is no need to worry. There will be a day for you to lead the army."

Zhu Zan understood, scratched his head, nodded shyly, took Lu Qiang's arrow, and turned to pass the order.

Since Zhu Zan stayed with Lu Qiang, the Zhu family has changed their previous state. They not only added 10,000 dan grain and fodder in addition to 10,000 dan grain and fodder, but also rushed to build 30 Qiandan warships to Xunyang.

These actions are enough to show Zhu Chaoshi's friendship. In addition, Zhu Zan is indeed a personal talent. Lu Qiang has decided that when there is a war in the future, he will give Zhu Zan a chance to lead the army.

Through this time, Han Yan was ambushed on the shore, so that Lu Qiang knew that Ruan Ming was spying in Panyu. In this case, he might as well make a plan.

In addition, Lu Qiang is also a little strange. How could Han Yanzhi get lost? Is there no compass on the warship? He has seen that thing in Jingxiu's hand.

Sea navigation is only based on experience and guidance, and it is okay offshore. Once you set foot in the ocean, it is no different from finding death.

When he came to Guangzhou from Jin'an County, the weather had always been very good. At the same time, he had a guide, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter. It seems that he had to find an experienced sailor to study this matter.

After sending Zhu Zan away, Lu Qiang called Wang Kai in, ordered him to choose a thousand good soldiers, and then quietly entered Jiaozhou from the land.

And Wang Kai's task was also very clear. After entering Jiaozhou, he sneaked into Jiaozhi County to capture Ruan Ming. At the same time, try to hide your deeds. If you are found, you don't need to sympathize with them.

Wang Kai didn't have the ability, but he only knew how to strictly implement Lu Qiang's order. After receiving Lu Qiang's order, he immediately turned around and left.

He gathered a large-scale naval army here. Presumably, Ruan Ming will also transfer his army to the coastal area to defend, which gave Wang Kai a chance.

As long as Wang Kai catches Ruan Ming, Han Yanzhi can take the opportunity to enter the army. The traffic between Jiaozhou and the Central Plains is too difficult. After taking over Jiaozhou, Han Yanzhi has to urge him to build roads as soon as possible.

Jiaozhou is still far away from Panyu. Neither Wang Kai nor Han Yanzhi will send back the news soon, so Lu Qiang's mind turned to another matter.

On the other side of Guiyang County, under the auspices of the old road of retreat, the first furnace of silver ingots has come out, and the color is not bad. According to the retreat, this is not the best. Once the mine is fully mined, better silver ingots can be extracted.

According to Lu Qiang's idea, once silver is extracted, it can be used to make silver coins, because the quality of copper money is too poor now. If you put it in your hand, you can break it with gentle force. How can such money circulate?

However, after telling Wang Zhen and others, this idea was unanimously opposed by them. The main reason is that the output of silver is insufficient. In addition, if you use silver to make money, it is easy to cause loss and so on.

Lu Qiang disagrees with these objections. Is it possible to hide silver in the vault to be called rich? Money is used for circulation, and only in this way can we stimulate the economy.

Although Lu Qiang was not engaged in economics in his previous life, he still understood such a shallow truth, but they could not understand these terms of later generations.

At this time, one taels of silver can be exchanged for 800 to 1,67 copper coins. If the quality of the copper coins is good, it shall be based on 1,000 pieces, which is commonly referred to as a hanging of money.

Lu Qiang decided to mint silver coins in one taels and ten taels, with the words Jingzhou-making on them to avoid imitation. At the same time, they should also mint high-quality copper coins, which shall be exchanged for one taels of silver.

This is a great good thing for the country and the people. Lu Qiang believes that it won't take long for Wang Zhen to understand.

As the end of the year was approaching, Sun Yao and others also sent a letter to ask him when he would go back. If it hadn't been for the sudden incident of Ruan Ming, Lu Qiang would have arrived home now. Now he can only wait for Ruan Ming to go back after solving the problem.

Lu Qiang didn't know that Sun Yao had been assassinated twice in Jiangling. If it hadn't been for her cleverness and the tight defense of Lu Qiang's house, she would have been killed by the people sent by Tiansong.

Because Lu Qiang is fighting abroad, this matter has always been hidden from Lu Qiang.

In fact, for now, the intelligence network of major forces is not as sound as Jingzhou, but Lu Qiang doesn't know what happened in his home. I'm afraid this is what people often say under the dark light!
