I’m The King

Chapter 1434 : Jiangdong County Town in Embarrassment

Gangdong County City is the largest city in Chu Kingdom except Yingcheng, the founding capital of the country. It is also the largest economic center of Chu Kingdom. It is a large city with a population of more than one million. In normal times, this huge population brings Gangdong County The city is rich in wealth, but during the war, the excessive population will become a heavy burden. ╪╪┡┡┢╪╪.(.

The attack of the Han army came too suddenly. When the Han navy came by the wind from above the river, the whole Jiangdong County was still immersed in the great victory of Chu over Qin. The gap between reality and dreams is always so far away. The rumble of cannons on the dock shattered all Chu people’s illusions. Chu Jun’s navy was vulnerable, and most of them became fragments and floated on the surface of the river. The remnants of the above, the rest, basically became the captives of the Han people.

The Jiangdong county city is naturally strong, and the troops to guard the county city are also sufficient. However, the Han people are obviously not ready to slowly fight over one city and one place. With the help of their inland navy divisions, they are everywhere along the banks of the river. At the place where the Han people boarded the 6th place, the Han people divided into small units after boarding the 6th along the banks of the river, and then quickly advanced inward. The generals commanding these soldiers are obviously good players in this style of play, and their forces are in his hands or concentrated. Or scattered, in a very short period of time, Jiangdong County was beaten to pieces. Except for the city of Jiangdong County, the rest of the place was planted with the Yellow Dragon Banner of Han.

More Han troops swarmed across Jiangdong County and attacked directly in the direction of Yingdu.

The carriage of Shouwenzhuang in Jiangdong County drove slowly across the street, and the carriage curtain was quietly opened. The bustling streets of the past are now hard to find. All the storefronts are closed, but there are many on the street. Groups of refugee beggars came out, crowded into the sun, lazily basking in the sun.

There are more and more such people in the city. Wen Zhuang knew very well that when this dangerous group of people gathered to a certain number, the most change would inevitably change, and they would become the biggest hidden danger in the city.

Jiangdong County Town is big enough and rich enough, so there is naturally a lot of grain in daily life. ═. [. But this time, the war came too suddenly. In a large city with millions of people, the amount of food consumed every day is a terrifying figure. I am afraid that apart from the head of the family, Wen Zhuang and his government, outsiders really don’t know. In the peaceful season, the carriages on the 6th road and the cargo ships on the waterway are constantly transporting bags of grain into this prosperous city every day. To supplement the consumption, but now, there is only going out and not in. Even if the city has started food control since the war, the warehouse has already bottomed out.

Jiangdong County City is still safe and sound, not because Jiangdong County City is really unbreakable. Although Wencheng has tens of thousands of troops and sufficient weapons, he faces the Han people. These are not enough to see, but to Wenzhuang’s surprise, after the Han army easily defeated the navy, they only made a symbolic attack on Jiangdong County. Of course, Jiangdong County’s reaction was also extremely Swiftly, the sound of cannons on the river surface, and when the alarm bell sounded, Jiangdong County City quickly closed its gates, and soldiers went up to the city to prepare for battle. This made the Han army who came from Qingqi after going ashore to return without success.

It seemed that they had been instructed from above, and the Han army’s attack on Jiangdong County was only a taste of it. After a little probing, they did not attack again, but trapped Jiangdong County.

No more grain can flow into Gangdong County. But news came from outside the city in an endless stream. It seemed that the Han people didn’t care that the people in the city knew the news from outside, but the news that came was all that made Wen Zhuang so depressed that it couldn’t be more bad.

The Han army who did not fight the Jiangdong County City did not spare the other prefectures and counties of Jiangdong County, with the help of its navy. The Han army can board 6 everywhere. Today, in Jiangdong County, there is only a lonely county city still attached to it.

Most importantly, there will be no food.

Wenzhuang dare not imagine what kind of situation it will be like once there is no food in a big city with millions of people. Today, he came out to meet some big tycoons in Jiangdong County. These people are rich in the world, and the food in the mansion is enough to keep Jiangdong County for a while. w [ww..

In the past, if these people wanted to see themselves, it had to depend on their own mood, but now, it’s the other way around. Wen Zhuang has mixed flavors in his heart.

The garrison general Tian Shangyuan once suggested that he simply find an excuse to grab these unscrupulous guys and confiscated all the food, which is neat and clean. But Wenzhuang knew very well that if he really did this, he would have to mess up the Jiangdong County Town immediately.

Jiangdong County City is a city with extremely high commercialization. The merchants here are very powerful. Tian Shangyuan, a general who has recently been transferred from Yingcheng, is afraid that he has not even figured out the complicated relationship between his generals. The iron-fighting battalion and running-water soldiers, high-level generals transferred, but those middle and lower-level generals were born and raised in Jiangdong County, Wenzhuang can be sure that if he gives such an order, I’m afraid the next moment, the army in the city It got messy immediately.

Furthermore, as a commercial city in Gangdong County, most of its residents are merchants. If you arrest these big households today, will other people worry that it will be their turn to eat up the big households?

“The county guard!” Outside the lingering garden, a young man with a small cap in Tsing Yi respectfully helped Wen Zhuang on the shaft to get out of the carriage. “Patriarch and gentlemen are waiting for you in Wenxin Pavilion.”

The captain of the personal guard next to Wenzhuang was angry. The county guard personally visited these merchants and gave them a lot of face. Now they only sent a servant to greet the county guard. Did he really think that the county guard would not dare to kill? Are they?

Compared with the anger of the guards, Wen Zhuang is very calm at the moment. He has done it in the first year of the junior high. Is he still afraid of the fifteenth? Merchants are the most realistic. They used to ask for themselves and naturally flattered them, but now they have converted, and they have to beg them.

There was nothing all the way, as this young man with a small cap in Tsing Yi walked outside Wenxin Pavilion, there was a lot of excitement inside, which made Wen Zhuang a little surprised. He just invited the five most influential and richest bosses, how do you listen? Inside, there are actually dozens of people?

Inquiry glanced at the young man beside him, but that young man was also a smart character. When he saw Wen Zhuang’s look, he immediately explained with a smile: “The county guard, this is the case. The family owner is clear about the county guard’s meaning. It’s just that the owner of the family feels that such a big thing is naturally due to the number of people and the more powerful, so the more he took it on his behalf, he invited many more capable bosses over, and everyone discussed it together.”

Wen Zhuang snorted, and said with a chuckle, “Boss Joe is really thinking about this county.”

“It was originally an honor for our Qiao family to work for the county guard.” The young man bowed and said with a flattering smile.

Wen Zhuang walked past the young man in his sleeves and walked straight in. The captain of the guard behind him was unreliable. When he passed the young man, he deliberately slammed one shoulder into the young man’s chest. This guy immediately hissed in a cold breath, and after a few steps back, his face turned pale.

To make you speak bad words, first give you a bit of pain and take a look. The captain of the guard squinted at the opponent, followed Wen Zhuang with a sneer and walked into Wenxin Pavilion.

“I have seen the county guard!” Seeing Wen Zhuang stepping into the pavilion, the noisy pavilion quieted down. As a refined form of a Pentecostal elder, everyone bowed their fists together.

“Big guys don’t need to be polite!” Wen Zhuang waved his hand, looked at the people coldly, and took a glance, I’m afraid that some of the famous people in Jiangdong County are here. This is clearly to be with himself Do you fight the ring? ,

“Boss Joe, it’s rare that you are so concerned about Jiangdong County’s affairs, and you have invited so many talented people on behalf of the county guard. The county guard can really thank you!” Wen Zhuang said coldly.

“Adults, please come to your seat!” Qiaoshan smiled and invited Wenzhuang to sit, “Qiao Mou is a native of Jiangdong County. He does something for Jiangdong County. That is his duty. You shouldn’t be so praised by adults. It is rare for adults to value us businessmen. Today, Qiao also prepares a little wine, to thank Master for his value.”

Wen Zhuang sat in the table and looked at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of him, but he snorted: “Out there, millions of people in Jiangdong County are pretending to be hungry, but I can’t eat this meal.”

Qiaoshan laughed, “The county guard, I know what you mean by inviting us to come. It is nothing more than asking us to take out the food from the family to deal with this crisis. To be honest, the people I invited today are indeed all at home. There is food in stock. The big guy tells the county guard, how much food is in everyone’s home, don’t hide it, there is as much food as there is.”

One after another, the businessmen and wealthy gentry stood up, and Wen Zhuang was surprised and delighted by the numbers that came out of their mouths. He was so happy that he didn’t expect these people to have so many grains, and was surprised. Such people like Qiao Shan will naturally not be such a simple act. I am afraid it is not easy for them to spit out the food.

“My lord has also heard it. All of our families here have truthfully informed the county guard. It is no problem for us to take it out. But everyone here asked me to ask someone to ask the county guard about the food. How many days can Gangdong County Castle last?”

Wen Zhuang groaned: “Save some. Ten days and a half months will always be able to support it.”

“Okay, let’s widen it. Twenty days. I want to ask the county guard, what should I do after 20 days?” Qiao Shan stared at Wen Zhuang and asked coldly, “We at that time can’t take it anymore. A grain of grain has come out.”

“Twenty days, it is enough for the king, assistant, and General Qu to send reinforcements.” Wen Zhuang stared at Qiao Shan and said: “Jiangdong County is the wealth of the Chu Kingdom, and the court will never allow the Han to seize it easily.”

“The county guard, I’m afraid this is a bit wishful thinking!” Qiao Shan shook his head, “Is the county guard not as well-informed as our businessmen?” (To be continued.)
