Chapter 49 King?

Yuan to the 12th year of June.

Haozhou Chief Manager Wang Meng captured Chuzhou and Hezhou.

The four cities of Haozhou, Dingyuan, Chuzhou and Hezhou are connected together, and together with the conquest of soldiers, Wang Meng really has 100,000 armored men.

“Until today, the land of Huaixi is only the lord, who can be called the king…”

In the tent, Hu Weiyong was impassioned, and the rest of the generals heard this, There is also some yearning.

If the patriarch dukes were made kings, wouldn’t they be able to make them princes?

Wang Meng just sighed when he saw the expectations in the eyes of Sun Xiao, Zhou Yong and the others.

Being king is not simply a title, but more importantly, an invisible prestige.

Liu Futong, wearing the hat of a red scarf leader, can roar hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and countless giants come here to serve.

In history, Zhang Shicheng was not very powerful, but he became the king and after the battle of Gaoyou, he accumulated countless prestige and became the top three anti-king in the world.

Rebellion, a name is very important, only when the name is loud can someone follow you.

Aristocratic Family’s way of raising hope is not unreasonable, and today’s people believe in this set.

“Hu Zhizhou!”

Seeing Hu Weiyong’s generous speech, Li Shanchang said.

“Although our army is no longer invincible in Huaixi, but there is no natural protection, and the population under our control is too small, it is not the foundation of the king.”

“The king’s name at this time. For the lord, it’s a calamity, not a blessing.”

In the account at this time, only Li Shanchang had a different opinion.

Hu Weiyong obviously disagreed with Li Shanchang’s remarks.

Wang Meng understands that what he is worried about is that he will not be able to compete with Liu Futong in the north if he does not play the king’s name.

Be aware of a major event that happened not long ago.

Liu Futong led the Red Turban Army to defeat Hes Huchi, the main general of the Yuan army, behead General Gong Buban of the Yuan army, and defeated Timur’s 300,000 elite division.

At this time, Liu Futong is completely a heroic gesture of first under the heavens.

I didn’t claim to be king, it was just to take care of Han Shantong who died.

You can think of it as Xiang Yu who played “The prince and general Xiangning has a seed” first.

That’s right, Liu Futong at this time can be seen as the combination of Xiang Yu and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and his fame and power have reached Peak.

At this moment, Liu Futong’s army is so prosperous that no one can stand it.

Compared with Liu Futong, Wang Meng is difficult to compete with even if he dominates Huaixi.

At least in Hu Weiyong’s view, it is impossible to compete with him without the title of king.

It’s just that this king’s name is still a little early in Wang Meng’s view.

Dayuan is not without spare energy. If Wang Meng remembers correctly, Zhang Shicheng revolted and was given the title of king.

The Yuan Prime Minister Tuotuo will lead a million army (real number) to attack Zhang Shicheng.

In the end, it turned out to be Tutuo’s defeat. Of course, the main reason for the defeat was within the Yuan Court.

Although I know that Tuotuo is a paper tiger, Wang Meng still recognizes the background of the Yuan Dynasty.

Wang Meng does not intend to block Zhang Shicheng’s gun. Although he and Zhang Shicheng are also old acquaintances, they occupy the private salt market in Taizhou and Haozhou respectively.

But colleagues are enemies, and there is no friendship between the two salt dealers.

The million-dollar army sounds pretty scary.

Listening to Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang’s argument, Wang Meng didn’t say anything, just listened silently.

It’s good that people have different opinions.

Wang Meng would not dare to sleep if all his subordinates had the same opinion.

Of course, Wang Meng also understands that the dispute between these two people is not only about the title of king, but also the secret competition for the first position of Civilian Court Official.

Hu Weiyong is older, and he can still hold back Li Shanchang.

But Li Shanchang and Wang Meng are old, and their ability to manage logistics is not inferior to Hu Weiyong.

Wang Meng attractive spectacle for the dispute between the two.

He understands that both are smart people and that it will only be healthy competition for now.

Even if you want vicious competition, it depends on Wang Meng’s answer.

After a long time, two people quoted the scriptures and stated the pros and cons, and the rest of the generals were also very interested to see this scene.

At this time, Wang Meng came off the court and made a round.

“Okay, no need to fight. Last year, we talked about building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowing to be king.”

“Being king is a matter of time, but now it is Don’t worry, at least wait until next year.”

Wang Meng’s words immediately set the tone, and the two did not dare to fight again.

Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong both noticed the last sentence and immediately became curious.

“Next year?”

Wang Meng then opened the mouth and said: “We intend to go through the natural danger of the Yangtze River next year and occupy the festival.”

Everyone Hearing this, everyone was shocked!

Where is the festival?

Once also known as Jinling and Jiankang, this is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. If it can really occupy Jiqing, it is really the foundation of the king’s industry!

Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang didn’t care about the debate just now, and hurriedly began to think about the feasibility.

After a while, Hu Weiyong’s eyes shined.

This is equivalent to avoiding the battlefield in the north, and avoiding direct confrontation with Liu Futong and Yuan Ting.

Opening up a new battlefield in the south, a fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, it must be false to say that it is not greedy.

Occupying the south of the Yangtze River, it is rich enough to support millions of troops.

As for the Tianwan regime in the south, none of Wang Meng’s monarchs and ministers took it seriously.

After all, everyone knows the Tianwan regime, and there are huge differences within it.

The Emperor is Xu Shouhui, Totem is Monk Peng, and currently in power is the leading Marshal Ni Wenjun.

By the way, there is also an Imperial Tutor, Zou Pusheng, really all kinds of strange things!

To say that Tian Wan is the strongest, we have to wait until Chen Youliang comes to power.

The formidable person temperament, submit to me and prosper, oppose me and perish.

Until Chen Jiusi used an iron fist and a thunderous method, beheading all disobedient people and twisting the southern red scarf into a rope, could he truly convince Yuan Ting.

Li Shanchang is also contemplating, once occupying Jiqing, it will sweep the entire south with it as the center.

Occupy Jiangnan, a land of fish and rice, with worry-free logistics.

At the same time, there are natural dangers of the Yangtze River, and it is completely possible to rebuild the majestic style of Soochow.

And there is also the land of Huaixi as the fortress of the Northern Expedition. It can be attacked and defended. This is the end of the emperor!

After a long time, Hu Weiyong opened the mouth and said: “My lord, if you want to overcome the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, our army is not enough?”

Wang Meng Wen Yan, but also a little thoughtful.

He has a navy army, part of which is the navy army of Hezhou, and the other part is the peripheral armed forces when the salt was sold.

You sell salt, how can you do without a boat?

But these forces add up to only a few thousand people and hundreds of ships, which is too few.

Wang Meng waved his hand: “If you don’t have a boat, build it!”

Thinking of something again, Wang Meng smiled mysteriously: “We don’t have a boat, don’t we have a Chaohu Water Village? ?”

Hu Weiyong’s eyes lit up when he heard the words: “What the lord said is very true.”

Chaohu Water Village has dealt with Wang Meng a few years ago.

At that time, Wang Meng was selling salt on a boat, and naturally he had to deal with these strongmen who were seeking a living on the water.

There are more than 30,000 water bandits and thousands of big boats in this water village.

Speaking of which, Monk Peng’s discipline is full of talented people, Zou Pusheng, Ding Pulang, Zhao Pusheng…Which one is not owned?

Sun Xiao was also a little excited when he heard the words: “Yes, we sold salt in those years, this water village has swallowed a lot of our things, and now it is time for them to spit it out.”

Wang Meng nodded, looked at the left and right Wenwu, and began to order.

“Hu Weiyong, you go to Chaohu Water Village in person, mainly to win over the two-knife general Zhao Pusheng. We have dealt with him, this is a man with strategic ambitions in his chest, you tell him that as long as he comes over , is our commander of the navy.”

“Li Shanchang, you are looking at the logistics, while collecting iron and wood, building warships, and making preparations.”

” Zhou Yong, as the saying goes, you must first settle down inside. These days, you bring your cavalry to sweep away the rogues and bandits around you, and if you can recruit surrender, you can surrender.”

“Sun Xiao, Chang Yuchun. , you two lead tens of thousands of troops to Hengjian Mountain next to Haozhou, and subdue Miao Daheng and his group who are stationed there, how can you let others sleep on the side of the couch!”

……

Facing the crowd, Wang Meng one after another ordered the arrangement.
