Chapter 53: Dangerous

Shi Zhi mentioned the Red Crane Fleet again. The fleet was filled with spices and could be sold for a lot of money as long as it entered the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, the one who drove into the Mediterranean was a flying clipper that ignored the monsoon, while the Red Crane Fleet was a Taotie-class who relied on the monsoon. The Red Crane had no news for a long time, and Xiong Jing didn't know where the fleet was.

"There is no news on the Red Wall, even if there is no news, there will be no return next year." He said angrily. "The Haizhou has not earned enough this year? I have used debts in the past three years, you..."

"These three years have been used for debt gold, but debt gold is also insufficient." After only three years of war, Shi Zhi felt that ten years had passed, and he fryed and roasted on the fire every day. "When the shortcomings are needed, Wang Ting will supplement it. Now the big merchants and giants have exchanged gold and silver, selling copper coins, and the prices must fall, so there must be enough gold and silver."

"There is no gold and silver, only swords." Xiong Jing suppressed his anger and pulled out his sword and placed it on several tables.

"It's okay to have a sword, a sword." Shi Zhi took the sword on the desk and wanted to take the sword away. Seeing this, Xiong Jing did not stop him and asked, "What do you mean by Bai Yi and others?"

"Bai Yiyan needs to use the King's sword, otherwise, people's hearts will seek profit and will not stop gold." Shi Yan held the sword and handed it to his servants beside him.

"Good." Xiong Jing praised, as long as the big merchants do not run, the price of copper coins will not plummet. In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods should be adopted and some people cannot be allowed to overturn the plate. "Tell Bai Yi that all countries and merchants will prosper and lose both. Although the Qin people had warships, the Qin people's warships were large but not effective, and nearly a thousand warships were defeated by my four hundred warships."

"Bai Yi and others are not afraid of the Qin people's warships, but are afraid..." Since they had mentioned evading the sea before, Shi Zhi opened up. "There are few soldiers who can fight in our army. If there are no soldiers who can fight in the future, how can they fight? The king wants to avoid evading the sea, how can they avoid evading the sea? The Qin people will unify the world, and the copper coins and national debts will be abandoned. Wouldn't the merchants' gold be destroyed?"

"I, please sue me." Finance is the lifeblood of the country and the lifeblood of the royal court. The first minister under the British Prime Minister is the Minister of Finance. Zeng Yin is very tactful and knows that his identity is too low to listen to the matter, so he immediately requests to sue. Xiong Jing did not try to keep him, and he really shouldn't know his conversation with Shi Zhi.

"Avoid the sea, just to return when the world is in chaos in the future." Xiong Jing sat down, took a sip of tea before speaking.

"The king's intention is that our State of Chu will perish?" Shi Qi showed a look of surprise. It was obviously suppressing the Qin people to fight, but the Qin State was about to perish. The military and armor of Jutien Mansion has been cancelled, saying that the war will end next year and the year after, and who would have thought that the State of Chu will perish in a few months.

"It may die or not." Xiong Jing's confidence was not as sufficient as Zhuang Wudi and others said. He did not believe that Qin would really die in short supply of food. "However, the worship of various countries will inevitably continue. Once the world changes, he can return to the world. At that time, the Qin army was vulnerable."

"If our Chu State avoids the migration, we should also avoid the migration of Zhao, Wei and Qi?" Shi Zhi's mind was a little surprised again.

"Countries..." Whether the Chu State avoids evasion alone or with other countries, this is a question. Xiong Jing could only say: "Businessmen holding the national debts of the four countries can avoid evasion."

"This, this government bond has reached 500,000 gold, and more than 100,000 people holding the bonds of the four countries?" Shi Zhi shook his head repeatedly.

"So what about 100,000?" Xiong Jing said. "Since they pay the money, they should help them avoid evasion, but they should order sea boats to prevent insufficient boats. Moreover, this matter must be planned and determined to determine the place to avoid evasion.

The Qin people occupied the world, but there were land and cities outside the world. At this time, our army had fewer soldiers to fight, and the soldiers to fight in the future were enough. At this time, the Qin people worked together, and the world was not in the hands of Zhao Zheng. At that time, the world was in hand, in order to seek the country forever..."

Everything has changed. He was completely unsure of whether things will happen in the future as Xiong Jing knew. The Qin people connected Daxia, Seleucid, and Egypt, which was something that was done only during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.

As many oars and warships spread into the world, the world underwent earth-shaking changes. The Qin Shaofu might have already made gunpowder. If it continues, the Qin army will soon have a tiger-squat artillery to reach the level of equipment before the Ming Dynasty. The Qin army also had iron-armored cavalry, although there were no good horses. However, more than ten years and decades later, the cavalry might not lose to the Chu army. These changes, especially the technological changes, made Xiong Jing unable to judge the future.

Xiong Jing was stunned and didn't know how to judge the future. Shi Zhi understood what he meant and said, "This matter should be said to be moved again. Only by fighting again can the merchants be at ease. The king, the king, also needs to move to the sea with everyone, otherwise it will be difficult for them to feel at ease."

"I want it too?" Xiong Jing never planned to leave himself, and was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Of course." Shi Zhi said: "When the king is here, the merchant knows that the king is a human being, and he is at ease; if the king is not here, will the merchant believe in it, and will the Chu people believe in it?"

"There are millions of people in Chu, how can I abandon it?" Xiong Jing said the reason why he could not leave. "If they don't move, how can the Chu army retreat?"

"Who believes that the Chu people can return to the world if the king is not here?" Shi Zhi asked back. "The Chu soldiers are 200,000, and the whole family is only more than one million. Can more than one million be moved?"

"I don't know." Xiong Jing never thought about the migration of millions. In Shi Zhi's question, he found that he seemed to have some mistakes in his consideration. Since he chose to avoid moving to the sea, why can't he move to Jiangdong first, with Pengcheng, Shouying, Xiangyang and Hanzhong as the peak of defense? The Southern Song Dynasty had been fighting against the Mongolians for decades, and he could also go to the avenge for decades.

If you are worried about being away from the Chu people, then move all the Chu people north of this line away. The last time the Zhao people went south to the south, they could transport hundreds of thousands of people at a time. In the past two years, tens of thousands of new boats have been built. Even as Zhang Yi said, one boat carries fifty people and three-month foetus, it can transport 500,000 people at a time. These boats are transported twice a year, more than one.5 million people.

Which one should I choose to avoid moving to the sea and Jiangdong? After Shi Zhi left, Xiong Jing kept thinking about this question.

He originally wanted a small number of Mi Xuan to go to sea, so that Zhao Zheng would not be too afraid, and what would happen in the future would still happen. But everything changed. With Feixun, the Chen Sheng uprising could spread to Guanzhong in a few months? The Qin army with iron-armored cavalry and tiger-squatting artillery was overwhelmingly superior to the Huns. Zhao Zheng also wanted to build a Great Wall?

Since the Zao Mansion is about to move away and the students in the school are also moved away, Zhao Zheng cannot not know. Why care whether he knows or not?! How many people can be moved, how many people can be moved. If Jiangdong can be defended, move to Jiangdong. If Jiangdong cannot be defended, then move overseas.

"King..." Shi Qi retreated, and Li Qi and Wu Zhui hurried in. Seeing Xiong Jing lost his mind, Li Qi shouted.

"No gift." Xiong Jing said a bow before he bowed and asked, "How is the war?"

"War..." In just a few days, Li Qi became much more haggard again. "Nan Zheng is in danger!" he said.

"Why is Nanzheng dangerous?!" It has only been three days since the Battle of Daze, and today is the fourth day.

Xiong Jing knew that the fifth division of Zhushi, stationed in Fanxiang City, was sailing west to Nanzheng on the day of the Battle of Daze. This was Li Qi's decision. His decision was exactly the same as his, and the false king Lu Gao's. He quickly sent troops to stabilize Nanzheng and protect Bashu. However, Li Qi ignored Li Xin's attack on Fangcheng and quickly sent reinforcements. Lu Gao gave up his way of life and nailed it to the left bank of Mianshui to prevent the Qin army from going south again; he burned down the repaired plank road and quickly retreated to Fangcheng without being tempted by Guanzhong.

Xiong Jing was very pleased that three people and three directions made such coordination without being able to contact him. But unexpectedly, the first sentence he said when he saw Li Qi was "Nan Zheng is in danger."

Under Xiong Jing's gaze, Li asked Shentong around him to spread out the Western Front map. The situation of the enemy and our army on the map is the current situation:

The Yue people's boat troops controlled the big zodiac. The news newspaper Li's explanation is: Although the Qin army has more battleships than our own, the battleships are not very flexible. Only by integrating dense formations can we fight against the Yue army. Therefore, the Qin people gave up the broad big zodiac and retreated to the narrow part of the Mian River;

The 1st Brigade of the Fourth Division where Lu Gao was located gave up the fork east of Yuanwu Mountain, and bit the left bank of Mianshui west of Yuanwu Mountain, and used artillery to control this section of Mianshui. Meng Tian had surrounded them, but was blocked by the mountain and could not attack for the time being;

Dou Yuzhi was still in Longxi. After receiving the news from Chengtong War prequel, he did not stop on the spot, but instead launched a larger offensive as much as possible to restrain the Qin army's use of troops in the direction of Chencangdao;

In the past few days, the Bashu defenders rushed to Zhudi. Once they arrived, they would burn down the Jinniu Road and block the Huanshui Waterway that entered Shu. The army's supplies that retreated to Juyi before the battle had retreated to Nanzheng at this time.

"How dangerous?" Everything was seen on the map. Xiong Jing didn't understand why Li said this? "Shi Shi and other troops were defeated?"

"No." Li Qi pointed his finger on the route of Baoxi Road and Yuanwu Mountain north of Nanzheng. This was a new road opened to detour Lingguan Gorge. The logistics supply of Xishi and other divisions depended on this path.

"Ah..." Li Qie hadn't spoken yet, and Xiong Jing, who was watching this route, suddenly screamed, and his heart seemed to fall off the cliff quickly. He grabbed the map and asked anxiously: "If the Qin people follow this path, how can they defend it?"

The Xi army stationed on the left bank of Mianshui River west of Yuanwu Mountain, and the waterway was indeed blocked, but what about this land route east of Yuanwu Mountain? It is impossible to take the water route, the Qin army can take the land route. It takes only more than 200 miles from Yuanwu Mountain to Nanzheng City, and it can reach Nanzheng from Sanchakou in three days.

"Why don't you guard the water route to the end, so why don't you guard the land route to the end?!" Thinking that Yuanwu Mountain was so close to Nanzheng, Xiong Jing asked again.

"I think they have done their best, but there are too few soldiers and too many mountain passes. If the Qin people abandoned all their supplies, they would not be able to stop them." Li Qi had asked Xiong Jing like this. When he calmed down, he found that the fundamental reason was that the lack of troops was insufficient. The Xi Shi and other divisions were not helpless. It was difficult to travel by land than by water. They had at least three to four days for reinforcements.
