Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

From Liyang, Zhangqiu, Xiangzhou, and Huanshui, Chen Ying can also ensure that the rear roads are unimpeded.

Chen Ying called Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and asked him to shoot with Zuo Pu, the Shangshu of Xingtai, Hebei Province, and announced that the Tang Dynasty would recruit civilian husbands to build the Shahewan camp.

Li Shentong looked at the simple statement made by Chen Ying, and said very strangely: "General Chen wants to build a permanent military stronghold in Shahe Bay? Isn't this necessary?"

According to Chen Ying's plan, he needs to recruit 3 people, and it will take three months to build a military camp that can accommodate [-] troops. At the same time, he also needs to build a mooring wharf that is [-] miles long, which can moor thousands of ships of all sizes.Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive construction of this fortification, the key point is that in Li Shentong's view, it is unnecessary at all.

Chen Ying murmured: "Does the King of Huai'an think it's unnecessary at this time?"

Li Shentong nodded.

Even Feng Li and Wei Wenzhong felt that Chen Ying was unnecessary.Because after defeating Mingzhou, the Tang army will not be stationed here, and it is even more impossible for such a large number of ships to berth at Shahewan.

Chen Yingdao: "This place already belongs to Dou Jiande's Mingzhou area, and the people here all have hearts for Dou Jiande, is this undeniable?"

Li Shen said: "That's right, even if this king orders the recruitment as Hebei Xingtai Shangshu Zuo Pushe, I'm afraid the people nearby will not respond, and they will only become the laughing stock of the world in the end!"

"Everything has advantages and disadvantages. We can take this matter into account. From a long-term perspective, this is really necessary!" Chen Ying smiled slightly: "I didn't say to recruit without compensation, but to recruit with compensation. The common people can get a hundred coins a day, or three buckets of grain, or salt or other materials of the same price!"

Li Shentong really wanted to say that Chen Ying was crazy, because Chen Ying had very big hands and feet this time.[-] civilian husbands for three months, if so many civilian husbands came to apply, Chen Ying would have to pay [-] guan every day, and three months would be [-] guan.

In fact, Chen Ying is not crazy.It is not meaningless for him to do this, but to win the hearts of the people.Although the so-called popular sentiment is a very mysterious thing, the short-sightedness and ignorance of ordinary people are well known to all.Just like later generations, because of a certain incident, a movement to boycott Korean products was launched, but it was a pity that it ended up being a big joke.Because of the price cuts and promotions, one day the shopping malls were full of cars and horses, and the turnover increased instead of falling.

It is everyone's nature to be greedy for cheap. It is really difficult to withstand the temptation in the face of tangible interests, regardless of the righteousness of the country and the people's will.When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the officials of the Qing Dynasty sent a banner to the Eight-Power Allied Forces to commend the Allied Forces for their actions in Beijing. On the flag was written "Zhu Xiao Hua Feng" (May his birthday, wish him blessings, and wish him many men).Of course, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces landed from Tianjin, it was all Chinese people who were responsible for transporting supplies, weapons and ammunition, and repairing bridges and paving roads along the way. (This is not fabricated by Lao Cheng, there are historical materials to check.)

In fact, there are two main reasons for this phenomenon. First, the Chinese people were extremely disappointed with the imperial court at that time, and had the psychology of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty.The second reason is that it is ridiculous to say it, because when the Eight-Power Allied Forces hired Chinese people, they paid remuneration, and the remuneration exceeded the market price.

Ordinary Chinese people are great, and of course they are lovely.Except when I was so heartbroken in the Qing Dynasty, it is very rare for other dynasties to be abandoned by their own people like this.

Chen Ying actually wanted to use [-] yuan to buy the hearts of Hebei.

After thinking for a while, Li Shentong suddenly understood Chen Ying's intentions: "The general wants to use work for relief?"

Chen Ying did not answer Li Shentong's words, but asked with a smile: "King of Huai'an, do you think it is expensive to buy Hebei with a hundred thousand crowns?"

It was only at this time that the generals suddenly realized.

"Of course it's not expensive to buy Hebei with 100 guan!" Li Shentong said with a smile: "Don't say [-] guan, even if it's [-] million guan, it's cheap!"

Li Shentong temporarily dispatched dozens of secretaries and small officials from Chen Yingjun, quickly drafted more than 100 notices, and distributed them all over the place.Of course, the people near Shahe Bay were the first to get the news.In troubled times, manpower and life are cheap, and working in Mingzhou costs only [-] yuan a month, which is equivalent to two liters of rice a day. With some rice bran and wild vegetables, it can barely keep a family from starving to death.

However, the wages Chen Ying gave were fifteen times the price of labor in Mingzhou City. After working for one day, he could get three buckets of grain, which was about thirty catties.This wage is only a little more expensive than that of Chang'an, but it is already comparable to that of Mingzhou fighting food officials.

Even the small officials who are almost from the ninth rank, the salary they get is still less than three buckets.

Li Shentong was worried that the people in Hebei would not respond to Chen Ying's call at the beginning, but as soon as a dozen booths for recruiting civilian husbands opened, as many as dozens of people came to inquire. Within hours, more than [-] civilian husbands were recruited in Shahewan.

However, when recruiting, Chen Ying played a cautious role. Those who recruited either had brothers or had families.When it was dark, the peasants who had been working for more than an hour received an order to stop work, and each of them went home from work at the standard of [-] yuan or a bucket of grain.

When it was time to hold the lamps, the recruiting sites were already crowded by the people who had heard the news. Chen Ying asked people to notify the recruiting scribes, and even sent more than a thousand soldiers to maintain order.

But these people were not panicked when they saw the soldiers of the Tang army, but lined up very seriously.Chen Ying's method was a success, and Li Shentong wrote an urgent report overnight and sent it to Chang'an.

However, it was precisely because of Chen Ying's careful screening that he recruited civilian husbands, which allowed Su Dingfang and his more than [-] elites to successfully infiltrate the civilian husband camp. Tiwa.

There was no moon in the sky, but the stars were bright. Su Dingfang looked down along the embankment of Shahe Bay. At this time, the people who heard the news, dragged their families and set up straw sheds on the river embankment. The river embankment extends all the way to the water's edge of Jize, and under the starry night, it is densely packed, looking as desolate as thousands of wild graves.

Su Dingfang really couldn't figure it out, why did the people under Dou Jiande serve Datang as if they were reincarnated?

In the middle of the night, it should have been silent, but Su Dingfang encountered several teams of Tang soldiers on patrol. It seemed that Chen Ying stepped up his guard, and it would not be easy to take Chen Ying down.

However, Su Dingfang also knew that he had no choice but to attack.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The continuous bonfires stretched endlessly under the night sky, looking everywhere, like a fire dragon.Chen Ying stood on the deck, looking at the camp in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

Since these days, Chen Ying has been doing wonderful things with Fukada Kanon every night. What makes Fukada Kanon very puzzled is that every time, Chen Ying would grit his teeth and roar: "Glory for the country", which made Fukada Huayin has a misunderstanding, she thinks that Chen Ying can't wait to have a baby with her.

The meaning of winning glory for the country is to give birth to a strong and healthy child who will inherit Chen Ying's mantle in the future and continue to serve Datang.Chen Ying didn't know what Fukada Kanon was thinking, otherwise he would laugh out loud.

Seeing Fukada Kanon standing there bowed, bewildered.Chen Yingchong said to Shentian Huayin: "It's getting late, and you're tired too, go back and rest earlier!"

Fukada Kanon turned and left, and when she was about to reach the door of the cabin, she suddenly turned around and couldn't help asking, "Ah Lang, are you thinking about something?"

A Lang in this era can almost replace the meaning of "Master" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Hou Mo Chen family, the only person who can be called "A Lang" now is Hou Mo Chen Qianhui.Chen Ying can only be called Chen Lang or Wu Lang.However, when Fukada Kanon called her that, Chen Ying didn't bother to explain it.

"Uh," Chen Ying was taken aback, looked up at Fukada Kanon and asked, "Is it so obvious?"

Fukada Hanon nodded approvingly.

"Nothing else, just... a little restless!" Chen Ying said.

There are some things that cannot be explained to outsiders, especially Fukada Kanon. Compared with Chen Ying, Chen Ying has no affection for her, and some of them are purely biological needs. To put it bluntly, Fukada Kanon is very important to Chen Ying. It's just a tool, a tool to solve physiological needs.

Chen Ying felt inexplicably uneasy at this moment, and cold sweat broke out from behind his back from time to time, which was very abnormal.But in this case, he couldn't tell the reason.

In history, after Liu Heitai learned that Dou Jiande was killed.In fact, it was not his initiative to rebel, but Li Yuan really made a big mistake. Dou Jiande should not be killed. Before that, he was also very friendly to the Li Tang regime. The key is that Dou Jiande does not love money and is not greedy. , his army is strictly disciplined, and he treats the people and his subordinates very well. Li Yuan's move hurt the hearts of the people in Hebei on the one hand, and bought the seeds of disaster on the other.

Li Yuan's subordinates saw the supreme leader's attitude towards the leader of the rebel army in Hebei, so they became interested in those surrendered generals who came together. Because Hebei is rich, these surrendered generals have some wealth, so these officials of the Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to say They were "violent and troublesome to the people", so they took measures to capture them one by one, torture them to extract confessions, and make them hand over their property.This made Dou's old subordinates feel insecure and frightened.

Dou Jiande's old generals, Gao Yaxian and Wang Xiaohu, lived in Mingzhou (now Guangping County, Hebei Province). When they saw this situation, they immediately took their family and property and fled. Tang officials sent troops to arrest them after they found out. He had no choice but to flee to Beizhou (now Qinghe County, Hebei Province) and hide.Just at this time, they heard the news that Li Yuan recruited Dou Jiande's old generals Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian to Beijing, saying that they would serve as officials for them, but the news came at an inopportune time. The court officials treated them with completely opposite attitudes, and these former generals of King Xia all felt terrified.

So these former Dou Jiande ministries gathered together, and they elected Liu Ya, who had the most military achievements and the highest prestige, as the leader, but Liu Ya resolutely refused. His reason was very simple, the world is already peaceful, and I am willing to be a farmer. Land, don't come to me for things like raising troops, I don't want to be a leader.When everyone heard this, they were very angry, thinking that this guy was disrespectful, and worried that he would reveal the secret, so they ganged up and killed him.

When he finally found Liu Heita, he agreed to be the leader of the crowd. Liu Heita led more than 39 people from Dou Jiande's old army, entered Zhangnan County in disguise, and then launched a sudden attack, defeated the defenders, and captured this A city.Then Liu Heita's army quickly attacked from more than a hundred people, and restored the whole territory of Dou Jiande in three months, 39 prefectures in Hebei. There may be Liu Heita's personal command factor in it. It is undeniable that Li Yuan lost his heart in Hebei. .Otherwise, let Liu Heita fight. In these 200 states and more than 200 counties, Liu Heita will fight two cities, and he will not be able to defeat more than [-] cities in [-] days.

It can be seen how deep Dou Jiande's popular support in Hebei is. Chen Ying's way of using work for relief is actually just using peasant cunning to create an illusion for Dou Jiande that the situation is over. In fact, it is a battle of heart attack, psychological warfare.The key is whether Dou Jiande can resist.

At this moment, Guo Luo said unintentionally to Chen Ying: "My lord, this Yanzhao man is really bold, you haven't seen them, they eat a lot of meat and drink heavily, they are very bold!"

As the saying goes, it is unintentional to say it, but it sounds intentional.Chen Ying instantly understood his uneasy visitor.Since ancient times, there are many generous and tragic people in Yanzhao. Hebei has always had a very loyal folk custom.

"assassin!"

Chen Ying understood that in this war, there was an opportunity to turn the situation around.As long as he is assassinated or dies, the Hebei Tang army will have no leader. Whether it is Feng Li or Wei Wenzhong, including Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui, they will not be able to represent him and become the backbone of the Hebei Tang army.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying looked at Guo Luo and said, "Who is on duty tonight? How is it arranged?"

Guo Luo was very surprised that Chen Ying had never asked them about the arrangement of their personal guards.But when Chen Ying asked this suddenly, Guo Luo even wondered if he didn't do a good job at ordinary times, and Chen Ying was very dissatisfied.The more he thought about this possibility, Guo Luo said very anxiously: "Tonight I will be on duty before Zi Shi, Ashina Simo will be on duty when Zi Shi reaches Chou, and Zhou Qing will be on duty when Chou arrives at Yin time!"

Chen Ying leaned over to Guo Luo's ear and whispered softly.

Guo Luo nodded repeatedly.

Regardless of whether there will be assassins or not, Chen Ying is very concerned about his own life. He decided to wait and see. If there are no assassins, the most important thing is to make the guards work harder. Chen Ying feels that if the guards are paid double salary , they will be happy even if they work hard.
