Chapter 925

Every county Zhang Yu passed would stop to investigate.

His action in Cao Cao's eyes is to wait for opportunities, wait for their own actions, and then give him big trouble.

In fact, Zhang Yu did not think so, but if it happened, he would do so.

More than ten days later, Zhang Yu arrived at the border of Xuzhou, but the whole city of Xuzhou had almost been defeated.

Zhang Yu did not spend much effort to fight the whole of Xuzhou, because Xuzhou has no support, people are slack.

However, many aristocratic families and officials wanted to take refuge in Cao Cao and let Cao Cao attack Xuzhou, but Cao Cao did not act in the end.

Zhang Yu easily won Xuzhou, and then led the army into Xuzhou.

At last, the war in Xuzhou ended, and Cao Cao did not intervene directly.

It is a great event for Zhang Yu to win Xuzhou, which indicates that Zhang Yu has got through from south to north.

It's a big thing that the sea is open and now the land is open.

Of course, the most exciting thing is Jiangdong financial group.

After Zhang Yu arrived in Xuzhou, many people from Jiangdong financial group have been inspecting Xuzhou and running around Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu asked Xi Zhicai to take over the whole Xuzhou and let him know the situation of the whole Xuzhou as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid the whole strategy is about to be adjusted." Zhang Yu looked at the map and said.

Now the whole situation has changed a lot, and Zhang Yu has to reorganize his troops.

There are millions of troops. Now the defense focus is different. Zhang Yu plans to reorganize.

"More than 200000 troops must be reorganized." Expanding the army and laying a new ground, Zhang Yu thought of expanding the army.

Zhang Yu made a calculation and finally reorganized it into 1.35 million troops.

1.35 million, which is absolutely a frightening army. At the same time, it also needs a lot of money to maintain such a troop every month.

Zhang Yu thinks that the army should be reorganized, but how to make money is more important.

There are more than one million troops. It will cost a lot of money to maintain such an army.

Zhang Yu thinks that at least half of the financial resources need to be invested in the army. With such a huge expenditure, if we don't find more money, the development will be much slower.

"Xuzhou and Qingzhou must be quickly integrated."

In the future, Xuzhou and Qingzhou will be the focus of defense. Zhang Yu plans to garrison 350000 troops in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, 400000 troops in Youzhou, and only 250000 troops in Jiangdong.

Of course, some of the troops can be deployed to attack other places at any time.

Some important nodes need standing army in other places.

For example, after the integration, Youzhou only needs to garrison 50000 troops in Shenyang City, and a large area to the south of Shenyang City does not need garrison, only needs some garrison troops to maintain it.

This time, Zhang Yu will spend a lot of money on the expansion of the army, and it will also cost a lot of money to build Xuzhou. But now Zhang Yu is not afraid. There is a silver mine here, so he can borrow money.

There are several ways to borrow money. One is to let the bank print money directly. This can't be too much. It's OK to get 20 million in a short time. He can fill the deficit as soon as possible.

At present, the most important thing is to develop Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

In Xuzhou, Zhang Yu didn't plan to build a large-scale city. The whole strategic fulcrum of Xuzhou is xiapi city. With Gao Shun in it, there will be no problem in xiapi city.

Zhang Yu will hoard grain and grass in Xuzhou City, and then reinforce the city. The most important thing is that Xuzhou City is too close to Zhang Yu's site. In Jiangdong area, after crossing the Yangtze River, it is almost there.

It can support quickly, so there is no need to build a large city to fix the fulcrum.

For Xuzhou, Zhang Yu also wants to move out part of the people, but the scale is small, with a total of several hundred thousand people.

Of course, hundreds of thousands of people who moved out were sent to Fusang, which required a large number of Chinese.

"A thousand things."

Zhang Yu felt that he had too many things to do.

There are really many things.

It took Zhang Yu a few days to sort out his priorities.

Zhang Yu sends a letter to Zhang Zhao, asking him to take back what he can get from overseas immediately, and at the same time to mobilize more people to dig.

Mining is the fastest way to get money. There are so many places overseas where we can dig. Zhang Yu will not give up.

A few days later, the good news came that it was not the discovery of any mines overseas, but the return of the fleet to the kingdom of India.

I went to hundreds of big ships this time and made more than 40 million when I came back.

"That's a lot of money."

It was mainly Zhang Yu who carried a lot of luxury goods. In the past, the nobles there were quite rich.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt that he should communicate with Europe as soon as possible. If he can sell luxury goods there, he will make a lot of money.

However, Zhang Yu chose to develop slowly.

Zhang Yu immediately allocated 10 million to research and build more advanced ships, while another 30 million Zhang Yu allocated another 10 million to develop related industries, and all the other Zhang Yu took away for military spending.

A few days later, Zhang Zhao wrote again. According to his assessment, there should be more than 50 million yuan in overseas scraps.

In this way, with the support of a large amount of money, many of Zhang Yu's plans can be carried out.

Expand the army, develop, and then build up strength again.

One advantage of controlling Xuzhou is that Zhang Yu completely controls sea salt. Before, some people secretly made salt by the sea, but now there is no way. Zhang Yu can completely control sea salt.

Zhang Yu has a huge market of his own. There used to be a large number of aristocratic families in Qingzhou and Xuzhou operating salt, but now they have been driven away by Zhang Yu. They can only operate salt by themselves.

Zhang Yu can continue to infiltrate into the mainland, dumping cheap sea salt, slowly crowding out other salt and unifying the market.

Now Zhang Yu thinks that if someone stops him, he can start a war, learn from later generations, and start a war to hinder free trade.

In fact, there is no need to find any reason to launch a war, but Zhang Yu needs a reason to aim at the aristocratic family, otherwise it is easy to cause the collective counterattack of the aristocratic family.

Zhang Yu got the money, so he developed slowly.

At the border of Jizhou, Zhang Yu arranged 200000 people to hold Cao Cao there, so that he could not capture Jizhou smoothly.

At this time, the Jizhou war continued, and the yuan family could not resist the Cao army. Cao Cao's strength was too strong for the yuan family to resist.

"Yuan Xi even asked himself for help. Did he think that if I let him go, I would appreciate his talent?"

At the time of the battle between Yuan and Cao, Yuan Xi asked himself for help, but Zhang Yu was also speechless.

Zhang Yu didn't mean much to let Yuan Xi go.

"We should also pay attention to the war in Jizhou."

Zhang Yu has always been concerned about the war in Jizhou, and has also sent 200000 troops to intervene, but he didn't pay much attention to it before, so Zhang Yu decided to take it seriously.
