Chapter 122: Ice Cave

Dashun follows the Ming system, and the highest-ranking local chief executive should be the provincial political envoy (Fantai Lord), but the northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few state capitals, let alone any political envoys. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not only did he not have a political envoy, but he also did not have a judicial envoy (judicial authority) and a commander (military power), so the head of the Yijia Army, the old general, became the highest military commander in the northeast region.

And the government affairs of various states, governments, and counties, such as sending in charge of grain reserves, tuntian, taxation, post transmission, water conservancy, and caring for the people, are all summarized in the "governor" of the supervision of the imperial history who comes to the northeast every year to inspect, and even He Yushi, who always does not forget to flaunt his two sleeves, loves to come to the northeast to "take a walk".

The governor comes once a year, and usually the affairs of the state capitals seem to be in their own hands, but in fact, they are secretly linked to an official website: the (grain) export network of the governor of the province.

How did Sven get on the "freewind" car of Yuan Daren's grain sales? It all started two years ago.

It is said that Shi Wen was "pressed" by the prefect Wang to return Jiang Zhennan's three thousand taels of silver tickets, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he asked Fan Dianguan to discuss how to quickly "turn the book".

As the saying goes, if you don't make money as an official, it's better to go farming.

These three thousand taels are like cutting Sven's heart, and he doesn't have a moment of peace in pain.

"Master, there is a great opportunity in front of you."

In the eyes of Fan Dian, Shi Wen's stubble is "into" the eyes of Lord Wang, there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests. He has been camping in the officialdom for so many years, and soon "familiar" with the "familiar" way to catch up with Lord Wang's staff through "special" channels, and then smoothly contacted Lord Yuan, who supervised the grain road.

In the matter of selling grain, Lord Yuan never came forward in person, it was his only son -- the eldest prince of Yuan Rong Yuan was cooking, and in the officialdom of the northeast realm, everyone knew about it - it was actually very easy to catch up with this Yuan prince.

"Deer antler velvet?" At the beginning, the Lu family earned succession, and when the family gave Shi Wen a pair of red deer antlers, Wu Qianqian collected it at the bottom of the box very preciously.

Fan Dian's smile was obscene, "If you want to knock on the door of Yuan Gongzi, you have to have this deer antler of the master." ”

Shi Wen was puzzled, it is said that this Yuan Dagong is only about twenty years old, even if he is a groom every day, he doesn't have to... Eat such a large pair of deer antler velvets.

Fan Dian's explanation and Shi Wen listened.

It turned out that the biological mother of Yuan Gongzi died in childbirth when she gave birth to him, and Yuan Gongzi grew up by his grandmother's side since he was a child. Later, Lord Yuan continued the strings, and the step-room also followed in office, and Lord Yuan was afraid that the eldest son would not be in harmony with his stepmother, so he kept Yuan Gongzi in his hometown in Jiangnan and lived with his grandmother, uncles and aunts.

I don't know when Yuan Gongzi was led by his aunt's girl to leak Yang Yuan, and since then he has been out of control, and the old man also loves his eldest grandson, so he is messing around. By the time Yuan Gongzi was fifteen or sixteen, it was already difficult to raise his head, and the doctors who had seen it could not do anything.

Master Yuan was over forty years old and only had such a lone seedling, so he killed his son's room of girls with a cane in a fit of anger, and took his son to his side, so Yuan Gongzi followed him to the northeast.

"That..."Shi Wen originally wanted to ask, is Yuan Gongzi okay now, but suddenly reacted again, if he is good, what is the matter with his own deer antlers.

Yuan Dagongzi received the antler velvet, and soon introduced a large grain merchant in the Huguang area to Shi Wen, Shi Wen reciprocated the peach, but everything that had aphrodisiac and kidney nourishing things was collected and sent to Yuan Gongzi.

Selling grain naturally requires a granary, but the quantity of these grains is huge and the way to and from is not legitimate, it is impossible to build such a large-scale granary openly, so Yuan Gongzi looked around for a place to store grain. Coincidentally, he really asked him to find it.

The status of the privets in the northeast was low, and most of the privets who entered the city had no land or other sources, so they had to sell themselves into slavery.

One of Yuan Gongzi's small servants was a privet boy, his father was a hunter, and unfortunately encountered an avalanche during a winter hunt, and their orphan and widow could not survive, so they had to sell themselves to survive.

When the privet heard that her master was looking for a place to "store things", she thought of the col where she used to go with her father when she was a child.

Dozens of miles away from Kaiyuan Mansion, there are several primeval forest covered mountain bags, there are many naturally formed karst caves in them, the mountains and mountains can be seen, the caves are connected, as long as a little care, it can become a huge granary, and a large number of grains "collected" by the Yuan family are stored here.

******

Obviously, the Eturings knew about this "granary", which was one of the conditions for them to reach an "alliance" with the privets.

As the saying goes, "thieves don't go empty," the Mongols now need food more than ever -- this time they completely offended Dashun, and I don't know if the mutual market will be opened.

At this point, Eturing's idea was simple: get the food first.

All the way north to take Kaiyuan Mansion, Eturing ordered the army to repair for three days. The Mongols did not fight iron, although Shanhaiguan failed to defeat in the end, but their losses were not small.

Three days later, the Mongol army marched straight to the ice cave to the southeast.

Eturing doesn't plan to stay in the Northeast anymore, his plan is to move the food and immediately flash people, and the province has a lot of long nights and dreams.

On the same day, Zhao Ji, who received Kaiyuanwei's call for help, led 30,000 horses to the north gate outside Kaiyuan Mansion.

The city gate was wide open, and there was no one guarding the city, Zhao Ji was about to enter the city immediately, and his deputy Qi Teng stopped him: "Isn't there a fraud?" ”

Zhao Ji glanced at him, I've read too many novels, and it's still empty!

When I entered the city, not to mention the Mongols, there was not even a single Mongolian horse. When I inquired about the "enthusiastic" masses, it was said that the army was heading to the southeast, and Zhao Ji wondered: Could it be that the Mongols wanted to hide in Changbai Mountain?

"Boss, what's going on?" Qi Teng was a little overwhelmed, this was different from what he imagined on the way he came before.

Zhao Ji couldn't wait to smoke him, gritted his teeth and said, "What's the matter?" Chase! ”

Here, Zhao Ji led his subordinates to catch up, and Pan Zexin and Lin Yinfei over there also led most of them to the north to stop them, it is best to intercept the grain, if it can't be intercepted, it will not be destroyed and the Mongols will not be able to take advantage of this!

With a detailed road map in hand, the Eturing's men and horses quickly emptied the granary, and the Mongols headed west, only to run into the forces of Pan Lin and his men head-on as soon as they crossed the Liao River.

The Yijia army was familiar with the terrain and wanted to take down the Mongols in one fell swoop, but Eturing didn't want to entangle with them too much, so he turned around and ran to the northwest.

Dashun's horses couldn't catch up with the steppe horses, and Pan Lin and the others were soon left behind by Eturing.

Speaking of Zhao Ji, he first pounced in the mountain col, and then returned to Kaiyuan Mansion. Leaving 2,000 people to defend the city, Zhao Ji planned to return to the sentry guards in Daxinganling first, and wait for the "map".

It's just that no one expected that as soon as Zhao Ji turned over the Sanqing Mountains in the northwest of Kaiyuan Mansion, he miraculously "converged" with the people and horses of Eturing.

Eturing didn't dare to fight, although Zhao Ji's little soldiers were not enough for him to see, but the most important thing now was to transport the grain back to the grassland!

Zhao Ji chased after him, and finally made Eturing anxious, beaten, and beat Lao Tzu hard!

This battle was naturally quite tragic, more than 20,000 against 160,000, Dashun's cavalry was really "weak" in the eyes of the Mongols! It's just that even Zhao Ji didn't expect that he would become a prisoner of the Mongols.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, originally he planned to take down the Turing first, and the Mongols lost the leader, and they would definitely mess with themselves. When he has made his military exploits, he will look good when he turns around and marries Pan Siniang, after all, he can't be too "nameless" when he is a niece and son-in-law of the old general.

Who knew that he was captured by Eturing, and he was very depressed now.

General Yi Lao lifted the pen several times, but he still couldn't finish writing the excerpt of the report on the battle situation and the request for merit.

What do you call this, this battle is really a wreck.

The Mongols ran away, most of the food was stolen, and the guard Zhao Ji was captured.

When the news reached the capital, Pan Siniang smashed the iron in her hand on the spot, and the hot carbon block burned the surface of her foot, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

Zhu Qi never thought that in just one year, the war on the entire northern front would end hastily.

Emperor Jingtai's private house was not in vain, whether it was the supply of artillery or instant noodles, anyway, before the Chinese New Year's Eve of this year, the Mongolian Wuer and other troops withdrew one after another.

"Heaven is going to kill me!" Zhu Qi was angry, "The shaft is not enough to conspire with it!" After saying that, he was in tears, thinking that he had endured humiliation and secretly lived all these years, and finally got to today's situation, but failed again.

"Master, do you want to talk to the Dutch again?" Yun Qi has seen the Dutch's ships and guns with his own eyes, don't they just want money, and when Dashun is collected by the master, what do they want?

Zhu Qi shook his head, "Alas~! Those foreigners..."It's not profitable, it's very realistic, not to mention this time, I really have nothing to exchange for them."

Previously, Zhu Qi made a deal with the Dutch at the expense of Ryukyu Island: send troops to help him capture Fuzhou.

Now that the Dutch have got what they want, and the foreigners are not stupid, they really want to be enemies of Dashun, and if they destroy you with all their might, they won't even be able to get a single hair on Ryukyu Island.

Although, in their hearts, the Dutch looked down on Dashun's sailors - they looked very stupid when they fought naval battles. A crowd of people gathered around and held wooden poles and made a noise (we are not baboons), and there was no way to speak of it.

At this point, Pei Qingzhi also thinks so.

The men over the age of fourteen of the Shi family were imprisoned by Emperor Jingtai, and now Fuzhou has fallen into the hands of the enemy, Pei Qingzhi led the troops to defend Jianning, Fujian, and chose a day to recover the lost territory.

As soon as he heard that Pei Qingzhi had come on the emperor's orders, officials of all sizes in Fujian quickly became busy.

The first to bear the brunt are generals at all levels, below 1,000 households, what towns, garrisons, deputy thousand households, promotions, 100 households, general flags, small flags... Tell them to recruit all the places under their command, so as not to be in a hurry.

A cadre of people did not dare to slack off when they were instructed, and they recruited all the local green-skinned singles, unemployed vagrants, and even beggars Lai Han.

A group of idlers entered the barracks and became soldiers, and with rations, they had no time to do evil, and the place was much safer.

Let's say that seeing Pei Qingzhi's troops getting closer and closer, the generals and soldiers practiced in the school field every day, and they did not fall. Not to mention the commanders, senators, and other officials, even the commanders and acquaintances have to personally go to see the drills every day.

A small exercise in three days, a big exercise in five days, a flag and a golden drum all day long, so not mighty.

China's armed forces have always had two major capabilities.

The first thing is to be able to run. When the adults come to see the exercises, all the formations are just running one after another, and they will set up in circles in the school field. The row is called a long snake formation; Forming a round lump is called the snail lion array, and the eight divided into eight are the gossip array.

The second is to shout. Seeing the adults riding horses from afar (or sitting in a sedan chair), they knelt on the road together, and the leading general held his notebook in both hands and reported it: "A certain official and someone, knock on the adult!" "Arrange them in this order, like dominoes, shouting with one mouth, and they must not be uneven. After shouting, he ran away, and then rushed to the front to serve.

This one runs, the other shouts, is actually their mental method "cheats", and everyone has to practice. As for those who play with guns and sticks, they get the guns and plasters in the City God Temple every month, and when they get to the school grounds, they beat gongs and drums, which is better than monkey play!

As for those low-ranking generals, seize all the time to practice riding and archery.

Archery has an arrow target, a horse arrow is a triangular ball, and a foreign gun is a gray bag. Fill the ash bag with ash of various colors, and when you shoot it, the ash powder will fly out with the marbles, not to mention how beautiful it is.

In the past few days, the civil officials have been busy with tolerance, and the generals have been busy with drills, and they can't wait for twelve more hours a day!

Before arriving in Jianning, a group of officials from Fujian went to the front station to greet them, Pei Qing looked at them coldly, but the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became.

Not to mention that the place to stay is extremely luxurious along the way, it is said that there is no one meal of three meals a day, and there are no less than 20 dishes for supper, which is exquisite.

The Pei family is also a wealthy family, and Pei Qingzhi also grew up with a golden spoon, Rao is so, and the extravagant trip prepared for him by Fujian officials still "frightened" him.

That's right, it's a large-scale military training on the school field.

The Pei Qingzhi in front of him could still bear it, but when it came to the drill formation, he really couldn't bear it!

A group of soldiers are standing in a row, what is a long snake formation, two yi formations, three talent formations, ambush formations on all sides, and five-way offensive formations... In the middle, it was also replaced by the snail lion formation and gossip array, in short, Pei Qingzhi was very "eye-catching" when he saw it, and he wished he hadn't been here.

"Please take the order!"

Very good, Pei Qingzhi spit out a breath of turbidity, moth! What a bunch of national moths!

The occupation of Fuzhou has nothing to do with these corrupt officials and corrupt officials!

It's just that there is a war right now, and these people are still needed, Pei Qingzhi secretly remembered in his heart, when the general returned to Beijing, it would be the time when you fell off the horse!
