You can eat the mountains by the mountains, and you can eat the mountains by the mountains.

The fleet of more than 300,000 people consumes a huge amount of food. When Li Jing went out from the mouth of Heishui River, he did not carry much food. For Li Jing, every grain of food transported from the Central Plains to the Bohai Sea is precious because the journey is too long and the transportation consumes a lot. However, this is not difficult for the Qin army. A huge fleet is walking on the sea, and they are not worried about food. There is everything they need in the sea. The Qin army's navy is the most powerful water army in this era and the most powerful fishing team in this era.

The navy warships escorted the transport fleet, used their second-hand skills to fish at sea.

Every day, while sailing for protection, the navy's warships caught a net of fish. The fishing sea catch not only fully meets the sea needs of more than 300,000 people, but also has the remaining ones for making canned fish.

At sea, Li Jing starts with a bowl of seafood porridge made of various seafood every morning. This is also Li Jing's rare leisure time. Although there are occasional wind and waves, the crew of the fleet are extremely experienced and they walk very easily. They do not need to ride on horseback every day, nor do they need to sleep in the wind and eat in the open. During the day, bask in the autumn sun on the deck, chat with a few women in the cabin at night, and occasionally talk with the staff in the attendants to discuss strategies and tactics, or simply participate in fishing with the guards or pull the net.

Such a rare relaxed and leisurely life is like an extremely rare vacation, and even more like a honeymoon trip.

At least, this comfort and leisure lasted until September.

In September, the fleet sailed around the coast and returned to Vladivostok.

The fleet stopped in Vladivostok for supply and maintenance. After eating fish for a month, they urgently needed to supply some other food in Vladivostok, especially fresh vegetables and fruits, and at least had to have some beans. Fortunately, bean sprouts were produced on the ship. If there is no supplementary vegetables and fruits for a long time, they are very likely to suffer from sepsis. Therefore, eating fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins is necessary. Moreover, after floating on the sea for a month, Li Jing was basically isolated from the outside world. He urgently needed to know the latest situation in the Bohai battlefield and the Central Plains today.

As soon as he got off the boat, Li Jing's servant room quickly started to work as quickly as possible.

Countless documents and reports were quickly piled up in front of Li Jing, but Li Jing started reading newspapers first.

However, the servant room helped him filter and filter it. The important information in each newspaper was marked. Li Jing read the newspaper and waited for the servant room to summarize the more important information updated. At the same time, he could also get more and more comprehensive information from the newspaper.

When he browsed, Li Jing looked at it at a glance. With the pioneering Qin Fan's newspaper industry, the newspaper industry is now very prosperous and even somewhat abnormal. Especially in the Qin Fan, with the rapid development of papermaking, printing and station systems, newspapers were prospered. A large number of industrial workers and the rapid popularization of new education have given Qin Fan the highest literacy rate and made newspapers more prosperous. There are countless big newspapers and tabloids. The people also like to read newspapers, whether they are officials, literati, soldiers, or ordinary people. Everyone likes to read newspapers and likes to get big and small things from newspapers.

Even the intelligence department of the Supervision Bureau uses newspaper code words to convey various intelligence.

Li Jing first read ordinary newspapers. Although there were small matters such as people's livelihood. Some big things were true and false, what he wanted to read was things such as people's livelihood. From the newspapers, we can see that this year, the harvests in various places, especially the Huanghuai land in Hebei, Shandong and Huanghuai, within the Qinfan Pass, achieved great harvests, and even two seasons of summer harvests, with a happy rice harvest. Although the main crop outside the pass only had one season, the harvest was also obtained. This news made Li Jing feel very happy and relieved.

When fighting, the logistics supply is still the ones fighting. If the income is not available this year, it will not only affect the war, but also put the people of the Qin vassal who have just recovered. Li Jing is not the other vassal commanders. He only wants to be more powerful and powerful. Li Jing controls a powerful vassal state and must ensure that the wealth and prosperity of the rule is first inside and outside. As long as the internal stability is stable, it can be unfavorable to the outside. With such a powerful vassal state as the Qin vassal state, it is difficult for the outside to destroy them. Only those who can truly destroy such a powerful vassal state are from the inside.

Many other newspapers were also pretty good. In short, nothing bad happened to Qin Fan, which made Li Jing worried.

This made Li Jing feel relieved, and he began to pick up the cold tea and sip it.

After drinking a book of Mingqian Longjing this year, I ate a few newly made osmanthus cakes made from osmanthus, and Li Jing picked up the inner reference on the other side and other internal newspapers that published more important news. These newspapers lacked a lot of the atmosphere of life, and the excitement of ordinary people became more serious. Li Jing read it very slowly, and looked at the parts that were surrounded by the key points in a row. It took him a long time to read it.

After he finished reading it, the servant room had already brought a stack of documents, but they were all briefings on important matters they had just sorted out in the past few months.

"Read it directly!" Li Jing waved his hand, and after reading the newspaper for most of the day, his eyes were a little tired. He simply leaned his body on the soft chair, changed to a comfortable listening position, and his eyes were half closed.

"yes!"

"The first news, Li Keyong launched an attack on the Shanxi Province in May. In this attack, Li Keyong joined forces with Zhenwu, Tiande, Baoda, Dingnan, Chengde, Wei Bo, Hezhong, and Heyang to launch an attack on Shanxi, Beiping, Hebei, Shandong and other places. Almost at the same time, Zhu Quanzhong from Henan joined forces with Zhou Ji, Lu Yanhong, Zhu Cun, Li Quanzhong, Han Jian and other nine towns to reinforce Chenzhou and attack Caizhou, Huaixi, Yinghao prefectures."

Li Jing had just seen these news in the newspaper, and both ordinary newspapers and internal researchers reported this. The attacks of these two coalition forces, a total of eighteen vassal states, were considered by the people of the world to be the breakdown of the relationship between the new imperial court in Chang'an and Li Jing, and the formal war between the two sides began. Especially some newspapers outside the Qin vassal states, there were even reports of the eleven princes who would attack the Qin vassal state. The biggest reason was that Li Jing refused Chang'an Tian.

The son asked his eldest daughter to be the queen. He also said that the reason why Li Jing refused to be the emperor's father-in-law was because Li Jing was now full of wings and was ready to usurp the throne and make himself emperor. They even provided some evidence, which was that many famous civil and military officials in the former court, and even some famous aristocrats in the world. They all received the invitation from Li Jing and rushed to Yanjing. It is said that they went to Yanjing to participate in Li Jing's ascension ceremony.

However, despite the discussions in the newspapers and the 18 vassal states also launched an offensive against the Qin vassal states, the court in Chang'an did not make any official statement. The Yang brothers have not made any comments on the attack on Li Jing. They seem to be turning a blind eye to the military actions of the 18 vassal states.

Li Jing only thought about it for a moment and knew the reason for this result.

The attitude of the Yang brothers showed that they did not want to fight the Qin vassal so quickly at the beginning. They proposed to make Li Jing's daughter the queen, in order to gain more time to increase control of the vassal states of the new court. But things went against their wishes, Li Jing rejected their proposal without hesitation. He broke their delaying plan, directly incorporated Huang Chao's remaining troops, and quickly instigated the three vassal states in Henan, directed them to attack Chen Xu behind the scenes, penetrated directly behind Luoyang in the new court, and shocked the Central Plains.

However, Li Jing's reaction was tough. In addition, Li Jing did not conceal that he invited famous people from all sides to Yanjing to discuss the establishment of a new emperor, which made the Yang brothers not choose and could only turn against Li Jing in advance. But on the other hand, they did not want to make things go in a way out, so they secretly indulged in, and even planned the attack of the two eighteen towns, but they did not make any public statement at all. Doing so was to gain an advantage in military affairs first, and then force Li Jing to return to the negotiating table.

The Yang brothers were still very afraid of the Qin army's military strength. What they wanted to do now was just to force Li Jing to recognize the new imperial court in Chang'an while Li Jing was outside the pass. In this way, it will be legitimate in the future and at the same time it can win more preparation time.

It is precisely because of this that the war was a little strange from the beginning.

It is said that it is a huge momentum, but it is indeed very big. The eighteen vassal states were divided into two clusters to attack the Qin vassal at the same time, but on the other hand, this war was a bit tepid.

In the south cluster, they were more of rescuing Chen and Xuzhou, trying to recapture Cai, Ying, and Haozhou. The Qin army still used the newly recruited four surrendered troops as the main force. Then Yang Xingmi and Xu Si camp sent a team of troops to reinforce. The army on both sides fought in the Chen and Xu area a little tepid. For more than half a year, the war was still stalemate and there was no progress at all, just like a big quagmire. Shangrang, Qin Zongquan, Ge Congzhou and others did not capture Chenzhou, Zhu Quanzhong, Li Quanzhong and others did not repel the Qin army.

In the north, it was not a battle, but more of a multi-way attack. The towns did not fight a strong attack, but a plundering battle. They attacked Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Beiping. Instead of siegeing cities and villages, they were completely plundering, just like the invasion of grassland tribes outside the border. Moreover, they had a strong purpose. This invasion was not an ordinary plunder, but directly rushed to the wheat harvest season in the north, and directly plundering the wheat that had just matured and was about to harvest.

The nine towns in the north gathered a large army and brought a large number of civilians to harvest wheat. Wherever they passed, they were like locusts sweeping over, and there were no particles left, leaving only a short wheat stubble, and even the wheat poles were taken away.

While they were robbing wheat, they were still robbing. They did not attack any larger city, but the villages outside the city protection were robbed.

The Qin army garrisons in all provinces attacked, but they were not willing to fight, and they attacked everywhere and left as soon as they succeeded. The Qin army responded to the battle, but they did not dare to pursue too much in order to prevent them from being ambushed by superior enemy troops in the wild. In this way, the northern Xia Sheng lost at least 30% of the Xia Sheng lost at the borders of Shanxi, Hebei, Beiping and Shandong provinces, and about 20% were damaged. Many villages on the border were destroyed by war, and more than 100,000 people were looted.

Since then, Jiuzhen continued to adopt this tactic of plundering on the border. Because the main force in the north is in the north, the garrisons in various places dare not fight on a large scale in the wild. The result is that although the four northern provinces did not lose an inch of land or a city, they suffered heavy losses on the border.

Especially the autumn harvest just passed. Although the garrisons of various provinces have strengthened their defenses and recruited a lot of reserves, they still suffered huge losses in the face of the troops of the towns that were invading everywhere.

Li Jing directly interrupted the staff and staff officer and continued to read other news. He clenched his fists with a dark face and murmured: "Why don't you fight back?"

The staff officer said carefully: "This is the result of the consultation of the joint meeting of left-behind. The King of Qin and the army were not in the pass. At the same time, facing the attack of the Eighteen Towns, the final choice of the left-behind meeting was the defensive strategy."

"Defend a bird!" Li Jing cursed angrily, "I took hundreds of thousands of troops away, but they would not mobilize the reserves across the country? Well, mobilize the reserves, and even half of them, there will be hundreds of thousands of troops. Besides, the battlefield in Henan is fought on the opponent's territory, and the real counterattack is only in the four northern provinces, and it is only the army of nine vassal states. Damn, these guys are afraid of a bird. Can hundreds of thousands of Qin troops defeat the invasions of several vassal states? You know, this is a battle on our territory, damn, embarrassing."

Li Jing was so angry that he slapped the table. When he left, he took away a lot of troops, but most of them were mobilized from several provinces outside the pass. He was thinking about this at that time, for fear that if other vassal states took advantage of the situation, the Qin army could have the power to counterattack. But now, there are so many troops in the pass, especially he planned to surrender Shang Rang, Qin Zongquan and others from Henan. These surrendered troops attacked Chenzhou, which forced nine vassal states to be nailed to the Henan battlefield.

But even in this case, when Li Keyong and other nine vassal states attacked the north of the Qin vassal state from all directions, the left-behind joint meeting actually chose an extremely conservative retreat defense, which made Li Keyong and others feel like they were in an unmanned state and robbed the border.

This is simply a shame. In Li Jing's opinion, the so-called result of not losing an inch of land and not losing a city is a complete failure.

The loss of 100,000 people, countless villages were destroyed, and a large amount of food was robbed. The result was undoubtedly that the Qin army lost.
Chapter completed!
