Chapter 340: Blackmail (Fourth Update!) )


Wealth cannot be exposed, for it will lead to covetousness.

The prosperity and wealth of Jiangxin City in Taozhou have attracted the eyes of countless people.

At the foot of Maiji Mountain, the source of Taoshui, on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The place where the Yeli Ministry lives is also the place where the big tent of the leader of the Zhili Ministry, Yeli Acai, is located.

There are abundant water and grass here, and there are many cattle and sheep.

However, the people of the Yeli tribe have never forgotten their former tribal territory, in three hundred years ago, Zhili was enthroned as Khan, and his land was named General Bolu, and his tribes were stationed in the area of Baishi Mountain for nomadic hunting, and then gradually settled in Tao, Min, Fang Zhuzhou until the Yellow River under Maiji Mountain in the south.

At its peak, the Yeli tribe had three upper governance departments in the gorge and four lower governance departments outside the gorge, collectively referred to as the seven divisions of Zhili.

There are tens of thousands of horsemen, with a population of no less than 100,000.

The jurisdiction extends to the east along the Tao River and the south to the Yellow River under the Maiji Mountain.

Almost the Gannan region of later generations is their territory.

It's just that now they only have only one source of the Tao River left, and even most of the Qiang River is controlled by the Han people.

"How many soldiers and horses are guarding Jiangxin City?"

Zhilia has long hair and a lot of pigtails, although his hair is white, he is very energetic, and his eyes are tax-rich.

The six-foot-tall old patriarch was a little tempted by his grandson's idea of robbing Jiangxin City.

Countless cattle, horses, sheep, tea, porcelain, and a lot of fur and cloth, if you can conquer Jiangxin City, it will be really good.

It's just that there are also people who oppose it, Jiangxin City is the only border city that is still in the Tuyuhun market after the last war, if Jiangxin City is attacked, I am afraid that the Tang people will not open the border market again in the future, which will be more troublesome.

After all, the Zhili tribe is next to Taozhou, and the existence of this border city not only facilitates their trade, but also allows them to set up cards and charge fees to other tribal caravans passing by.

Of course, there is also one of the biggest worries, what to do in case it attracts retaliation from the Tang Army "Jiangxin City usually has 600 soldiers stationed, there are not many soldiers, but the terrain is relatively unique, surrounded by the Tao River on three sides, and the other side is connected to the land There is also a two-zhang high earthen wall, even the door is not opened, and the entry and exit of the island all rely on two pontoon bridges."

Yeli Yilian had personally visited Jiangxin City with the caravan last time, and drew a map after returning.

"To capture Jiangxin City, the only way to cross the pontoon bridge is to cross the river bridge, but there are bridgeheads on both sides of the two pontoon bridges, which are tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Yelia looked at the map and shook his head.

"Although it seems that crossing the bridge to the island is the fastest, it is a dead end, and it is not passable.

Two bridgeheads on both sides of the river bank guard the pontoon bridge, and if you want to cross the bridge, you must first take the fort.

It is difficult for us to have suddenness, and before we take the bridgehead, the Don troops on the island will definitely destroy the pontoon bridge. ” Yi Lian thought for a moment, "Then let's go directly to the land and destroy their wall."

Ah Cai still shook his head.

A rammed earth wall two zhang high and more than three zhang wide at the bottom is so easy to destroy.

There is not even a gate, and the Tang army will be quite advantageous if it stands at the head of the city and is condescending.

"Attack directly from the Tao River" The Yeli Department lives in this area, the Yellow River, Taoshui, Qiangshui, and there are many rivers, so they are no strangers to rivers, and they will use sheepskin rafts to cross the river.

If the sheepskin raft is more prepared, it will cross the river directly and attack Yelia looked at the simple map.

"There are no walls on these three sides of the river" "Originally, there was no wall, but recently the Tang people are building the wall, but the wall is not high, only one person high."

One person is high, but it is not high, and even the horse may jump over.

But there is a problem, outside this wall is the Tao River, and below is the river beach.

The river flats are soft, and in many places there are no shore openings.

They crossed the river on sheepskin rafts, and it was impossible to carry many ladders and the like.

The other added on the side.

"On three sides of the river, there are only a few places where there are relatively flat river beaches, but the Tang people planted many sharp piles on the river beach in front of the wall, and placed a lot of horses to resist horses."

Ah Cai sighed, "It seems that this Governor of Taozhou is indeed a powerful person, although there are few soldiers on the island, he has made full use of the terrain and has a strong defense. ” "What to do then" Yeli Yilian was very interested in the wealth on the island, and he was very unwilling to let him give up.

Ah Cai sneered twice, "If you can't attack by force, then outwit it."

Next time, make the caravan bigger, sneak into the island first, and then after I feint outside to attract the attention of the Tang army, you take the opportunity to attack on the island, as long as you capture a bridgehead, or capture that wall, even if it is a section of the riverbank wall, we can take the opportunity to enter immediately.

As long as we get to the island, six hundred Tang troops, it will only be a meal that can be cut down.

When he said this, Chiria had a grim face.

One of Cai's sons said worriedly, "But if you rob Jiangxin City, what if the Tang Army retaliates?"

"Retaliate, do they dare to retaliate" Ye Lia thought that Tang Jun did not have the courage.

Last time, Murong Fuyun took the initiative to retreat in the face of less than 20,000 Tang troops with 50,000 horses.

This made Ye Li Acai think very unhappy, and Fu Yun was too timid.

Taozhou.

Lintan Academy is under construction, and it is completely in accordance with Zhang Chao's personal planning and drawings, and with those slaves and free labor, the academy is progressing rapidly.

There is a large playground, Zhang Chao even specially built a polo field, a football field, etc., around the playground, is a teaching building, and the classrooms are very spacious and bright.

Teachers' dormitories, student dormitories, cafeterias, bathrooms, toilets, and the college are also fenced off.

It will also be a closed boarding school, with five days of school and two days off.

The teaching method is directly based on the model of Chongwenguan Primary School and Bailu Academy, and the teaching materials are also directly used in the previous set edited by Zhang Chao.

The children of the soldiers can be exempted from tuition, and only need to pay miscellaneous fees, books, and room and board, but the children of the Fan people have to pay in full.

Sending your children to school can be a burden, but sending them to school can give you some tax relief.

If you study well, you can also get a scholarship.

Zhang Chao attaches great importance to this matter, and he thinks that this is an excellent way to assimilate those fans.

Originally, Zhang Chao also planned to let those children of Fanren go to school for free, but then he thought about it, free things are always not cherished, so tuition and miscellaneous fees, book fees, food fees, and accommodation fees are all collected, but he will find some reasons to return the money to these people, such as sending children to study can reduce taxes, such as children who study well, and they can also get scholarships, grants, etc.

Although the result is still the same, the process is different.

Zhang Chao likes to be a little more complicated.

"San Lang, you're really here, looking for you everywhere."

Changshi Ma Zhou hurried over with his robe.

"What's so urgent, can't you make it Tuguhun call," Zhang Chao replied with a smile.

Ma Zhou actually nodded, "Almost." ” It turned out that Zhang Chaobing's soldiers destroyed the Yeli Department, and his reputation soared, and it soon spread to the opposite side.

As a result, a few people came today, claiming to be sent by Ye Ligang, the leader of the Yeli Tribe.

Ye Ligang and Ye Lixiong are both tribal patriarchs, but Ye Lixiong is only the leader of a small tribe of 3,000 people, but Ye Ligang is the leader of the Yeli tribe, one of the eight major tribes of the Dangxiang Qiang.

But there were five thousand knights in the tribe of Yeli.

This small tribe of Yelixiong was actually driven out of the Yeli tribe back then, and it can only be regarded as a small branch of the Yeli tribe, and it has long been unrecognized.

But now, Zhang Chao has destroyed the Yeli Xiongbu who are not subject to control in his own territory, but Yeli Gang has sent someone to negotiate.

"What does this Nori just want?"

"His messenger said that we should give them all the remaining two thousand or so wild people, and bring them back."

Zhang Chao's eyes narrowed and he sneered.

"Otherwise?"

"Otherwise, the five thousand knights of the Yeli Department will set foot in our Taozhou."

"Hahaha" Zhang Chao laughed, "This Ye Ligang, didn't he see that we have been very prosperous recently, so he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the lion opened his mouth."

He really thinks that we are so good at 5,000 cavalry, and I'm really scared.

Tell him, how far and how far to roll, Ye Lixiong's department, a hundred years ago was not part of his Ye Lixiong.

A certain is in the territory of Datang, and they can't control the subordinate department of Datang. ” The territory of the Yeli tribe is opposite Hezhou, and it is not directly bordered by Taozhou, and it has to pass through the territory of the Tugu Hun Yeli Department, and the pronunciation of the two tribes is about the same.

However, the Yeli Department is the Dangxiang Qiang tribe, and the Yeli Department is the Xianbei tribe of Tuyuhun.

Zhang Chaocai didn't believe that the Yeli Ministry wanted to support his own people or anything.

It's been a hundred years since the tribe of Norixiong left the Nori, and I haven't seen any movement from them for so long, so now I'm going to come and intervene.

"San Lang, I think this Yelibu must have seen that Jiangxin City was very popular, so he wanted to blackmail us.

I'm a little worried that these damn Qiang people will come and attack us when the time comes."

Jiangxin City is now very important to Taozhou, and Taozhou's military rations, even the construction of cities and roads, and even the future reclamation of barren tuntian, the capital is counting on this Jiangxin City.

"Send some more soldiers and horses to Jiangxin City to strengthen the defense.

In addition, more scouts were sent to the border, and they were sent directly to the south. ” "That's going deep into the territory of the Ministry of Metallurgy, will there be a problem?"

"Let the scouts be careful, it's sparsely populated anyway, and as long as you don't get surrounded, you'll be fine.

The scouts are more open, and we have more time to warn. ” Zhang Chao thinks that the Yeli Department really dares not to have the courage, at most he just wants to take the opportunity to blackmail.

Just like some people on the side of the highway in later generations, deliberately raised more chickens, deliberately raised them on the side of the road, and even often fed them on the road, and turned on the highway when they got these chickens fine, and the passing drivers were easy to run to death if they were not careful.

Then the owner of the chicken immediately rushed over, surrounded the car, a chicken offered two hundred and five hundred, give or not give, don't want to get out, even if you call the police, it's useless.

If you kill someone else's chicken, shouldn't you lose money?

Now the wild tribe obviously regards the people of the wild Li Xiong as their wild dog who ran away, even if it is a runaway dog, it is also the dog of my wild Li family, you beat the dog, shouldn't you look down on the owner You hit my dog, you shouldn't lose money For this kind of person, Zhang Chao has always been too lazy to pay attention to it, and if he has the ability, he will talk with his fists I've been making mistakes lately.,I just found out.,My 340 chapter is gone.,This chapter was originally 341.,Hey.,Depressed, it's just because of the change of computer.,There's no 340 chapter in the computer.。
