The female rider gave eleven orders, and immediately many horsemen rode horses to chase after them, and some people jumped off their horses, and brought the cattle, sheep and livestock that were left behind, and gathered together The female knight held the reins of the horse, and circled around Xia Xun and the four of them, a pair of big eyes were full of hostility, looking at her appearance was sixteen or seventeen years old, born very beautiful, the light Han family woman, she looked vigorous and strong, but the lapels and cuffs of her fur hat and clothes had an inch long "wind", this snow-white fur modification, It adds a bit of charm to her sassy face.

Ding Yu, the commander of Dingliao Zhongwei, was looked at by her like a thief, and he couldn't help but be annoyed, and blurted out: "What are you looking at? ”

The female knight snorted, raised her chin slightly, and said disdainfully: "The rules are set by you Han people, but you Han people are greedy for cheapness!" ”

Ding Yu was furious and shouted, "What did you say? Stinky girl, get down, whose land is this, turn to get you to be arrogant? ”

Xia Xun stretched out his hand to stop him, and smiled at the female knight: "Girl, we are not selling livestock, nor are we buying livestock, so let's talk about it casually here......

The knight glared at him and ignored him, apparently taking his words as a pretext, and not believing him at all. Then the knights returned, and one of them took off his fur hat, and his hair hung down in braids, and his ears hung down with silver rings, and his forehead was slightly stained with sweat, and he said to the woman in a loud voice, "Now, these people are very slippery, and they have fled in all directions." ”

The knightess snorted, and said, "Go, bring back the captured livestock!" ”

A group of people drove the cattle and sheep away, Xia Xun looked at their backs, and asked Chu Bingbei suspiciously, "What are these people doing?" ”

Chu Bingbei is an official of this city, and if he wants to say that he knows about this place, he is the only one among the four people who knows.

Chu Bingbei said: "Judging from this coquettish shape, these people who sell livestock have all taken the trail to avoid Hada City and sneaked into the original one, which is not in line with the law, so as soon as they saw the people who had the right to rectify them, they had to flee." ”

Xia Xun said: "These knights seem to be all Hu people, have you hired people in this city to rectify the city?" ”

Chu Bingbei said with a smile: "No, the ministry doesn't know, after the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes were annexed one after another, they often traded with our Han people, and the main knowledge was there, and as a result, these people either evaded taxes, or were deceived by Han merchants, and some had poor language and quarrels, and some had impetuous tempers and conflicts, and some were offended because of incompatible folk customs, which was really unbearable."

Later, the imperial court thought of a style of using Hu to control Hu, and selected a few powerful tribes in the Jurchen tribes as the main mouth of the Yiren people, and the current Hada City is a tribe designated by my Ming Dynasty to control the Yiren people, and they have a prestige among the Fanren, so that they can live in harmony, control the horse market, and inspect and release the brigade, which saves a lot of trouble in the official government.

At the same time, they are more familiar with the inertia of the Fanren tribes in various places than us, and the Hu people of various tribes are friends and enemies with my Ming Dynasty, and they only need to interrogate them to know, so that it is difficult for the spies to have a place to hidec Hada City is outside Guangshun Pass, which is the front line of Guangshun Pass and Jing'an Fort, and with them in the way, they can directly block the invading enemy from the north, and the safety of Guangshun Pass and Jing'an Fort will also be of great help to the side wall of Guangshun Pass and Jing'an Fort.

"But there are always people who want to evade taxes and take advantage of some cheapness, or they come from the common people who are hostile to my Ming Dynasty, and they also need to exchange some necessities for life, but they can't resist seeing Hada City, so they take a small road to bypass Hada City, and go into my Kaiyuan City to trade with the Han people, and their goods are cheaper than those purchased from Hada City, so ......."

Speaking of this, Chu Bingbei laughed and said: "Those who escaped just now were all smugglers who avoided Hada City, and the woman thought that we were Han merchants who came to buy smuggled goods, so she was quite hostile to you and me, but seeing that we are Han, she didn't dare to do anything to us, if you and I were wearing Hu clothes today, then we would suffer, I was afraid that we would be taken back by them and punished." ”

"Oh? I see! ”

Xia Xun didn't expect that there was a place of trade and wealth within easy reach, to say that the mountain treasures outside the customs are very popular with the people in the Guan, Kaiyuan is an important town in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and should not even be left out in the fang market here, it turned out that this place was only used as a military camp, and there was a place dedicated to trading.

Xia Xun was in high spirits and said happily: "Okay, if you have a chance, I have to go to Hada City to see and learn!" ”

Chu Bingbei and Ding Dusi and others looked at each other, this grandfather of the country came to Liaodong by order of the governor of Liaodong military affairs, but when he arrived in Liaodong, he was neither busy with military decoration, nor was he in a hurry to strictly enforce military discipline, let alone preside over military exercises, what are you busy with?

Xia Xun is not indifferent to Liaodong military affairs, he has done a lot of inquiries and visits before he came to Liaodong, from Liaoyang to Kaiyuan via Shenyang, he also listened to a large number of reports along the way, and has a basic understanding of Liaodong military affairs. In his view, the stationing of troops, the allocation of military strength, and the composition of military branches in various parts of Liaodong have all been tested by protracted wars, and even if they were somewhat irrational in the past, they have gradually become rational through the tempering and encouragement of war.

He Xia Xun is actually not a military background, can he be more clever than those outstanding generals who have served as the guards of Liaodong Town since the founding of the Ming Dynasty? Let him, a person who has never entered a military academy and lead a soldier, come here to point fingers, and he can make a great change in the Liaodong army, is there such a person in the world?

The reason why Xia Xun has been able to do everything he has undertaken until now is not because he is an all-rounder, but because he knows his abilities very well and knows how to develop his strengths and avoid weaknesses. Lazy about what he is really not good at, he only generals, not generals...... Never point fingers, feet, and interfere with the lower level of officials directly after another.

To change the situation in Liaodong, we need a stable environment, stability needs the army to guarantee, the main problem of the army is not actually combat effectiveness now, it is far from the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers stationed in Tun are almost ordinary peasants, and the combat effectiveness has been sharply weakened. Take this Tartar attack and plundering of 30,000 guards as an example, if Shen Yong could send troops in time, they would never dare to attack 30,000 guards for two days and one night, even if Shen Yong did not send troops, they also ran away after plundering, and ran to a place hundreds of miles away in one go, what they are doing now is to rob the house and rob the horse bandits, and there is no need to be an evenly matched opponent.

Zhu Di dared to send him, who was not very familiar with military affairs, especially to the northern nomads and herdsmen, who was far less experienced in fighting than Qiu Fu, to Liaodong, and obviously foresaw this result, so if Xia Xun just wanted to make this imperial mission beautiful, it was very easy, he just rushed to Liaodong, beheaded Shen Yong, told the nine sides, and strictly disciplined the military, and then with the 50,000 elite soldiers he brought, and then sent a few people from near Kaiyuan to kill in the desert, and burned and killed a few Dazi tribes, then he could return to Beijing in triumph.

As soon as this matter is exaggerated and publicized, the emperor will award another concubine, and in the future, it will be Yang Xu, the prince of the auxiliary country, who suppressed the Japanese and beat the dazi, and he was a Ming generation of generals! From this point of view, Zhu Di is quite interesting to this brother-in-law, and this time he is clearly gilded by going out of the village, which is a very simple and glorious task.

Xia Xun took the initiative to increase the difficulty of the task for himself, and now a series of problems shown in Liaodong are not fatal, and it may take one or two hundred years for hidden dangers to gradually appear, and now, the Ming Kingdom is in a strong state, Tatar and Warat have just established the country, and it is also the best time to correct these Liaodong policy deviations

The current matter also needs to be considered, but that is actually not the focus of Xia Xun's heart, he has already placed it for his subordinates to do, one thing is to inquire and visit to collect evidence, Shen Yong will not be rescued when he sees death, and let the Tatars take captivity, this matter has the impeachment of the young imperial envoy, and there are Temur's human and physical evidence, in fact, it is enough Xia Xun deliberately delayed, he wanted to know whether Shen Yong had many cronies in Liaodong to the point where he could hinder himself.

Another thing is to understand the inertia of the Tatar tribes who plundered the 30,000 Wei, find out their accuracy, and attack them with a thunderous force, which is a major event to deter Xiaoxiao and boost the morale of the people, but he doesn't need to talk about these things, the local Han and Mongolian Jurchen tribes are looking at actions, not rhetoric.

After Xia Xun went back, he explained to Qianlong again and knew everything about Hada City.

Qianlong turned out to not have much eyeliner in Liaodong, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, an outsider, even if he has been trained by Mrs. Xizhu and Tan, all afternoons are good at disguise, good at dealing with strangers of the secret agent, to gain a firm foothold here, and spy on enough retribution, it is not an easy task, but the increasingly mature Qianlong spy still handed in a satisfactory answer to Xia Xun, only a few days of hard work, the information he wanted was placed in front of him

They inquired about the location of the Tatar tribe that raided and plundered 30,000 guards, the Tatar tribe is a large tribe of more than 20,000 people, and there are more than 4,000 strong warriors in the clan.

Xia Xun immediately mobilized the crowd and began to set up the details. The generals of the Liaodong guards received an order from the governor: they were ordered to immediately lead the cavalry of their subordinates to report to Kaiyuan City before the deadline, and those who did not arrive after the deadline would be beheaded!

With the 50,000 elite soldiers brought by Xia Xun from the pass, to go to suppress such a Tatar tribe, the military strength is enough, not to mention that there are three guards and one army in Kaiyuan can be mobilized, but Xia Xun has all the cavalry of the guards, because in this battle, his purpose is not to crush, defeat, repel, and chase the enemy, but to completely wipe out this tribe from the outside of the village! . Ask for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket!

In the book review area, I saw a small paragraph of "Yang Xu in Liaodong" posted by a book friend, which was very interesting, and everyone laughed together when it was posted:

It is said that Yang Xu, the prince of Fuguo, stewed pork noodles all day long in Liaodong, or oden, must be called "turtle calves, things, looking for cuts?" ”

Then he was fascinated by the Northeast Duo Zhuan, and after returning to Jinling, he came to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di asked him what he had gained from his trip to Liaodong?

Xia Xun said: "Alas, mom, let me tell you, the emperor, the whole Gada is a wilderness, standing in any corner of the city and shouting a voice Northern Shaanxi Xintianyou, the echo is ...... back" Then he performed the Northeast two-person turn, and Zhu Laosi, who did not know the truth, was cold, and there were several black lines on his forehead......
