Sorry, there was a temporary announcement.

I haven't updated it in the last two days, but I have something to do, and I can do it within a week.

originally promised to be edited with blood rewards, and "The Great Thief of the Country" was continuously updated to the end, but I am ashamed to lose my trust here.

But everyone has their own own affairs, it is rare to be satisfied, and I ask you to forgive me.

There was silence for a while, and Wang Shirong seemed to be a little hesitant.

Lin Feng showed a look of displeasure, and asked in an aggravated tone, "Where is Baori Longmei now?!"

"Lord Qiqi, Baori Longmei is now in Chahar," Seeing Lin Feng's displeasure, Wang Shirong hurriedly said, "After she escaped from Horqin's pursuit that day, she led people to Chahar and took refuge under Prince Pucha!"

"Oh?! ……”

"Ahem...... cough, Lord Mingjian, the day before yesterday, the little prince of the census sent an envoy to inquire, it is said that this Baori Longmei also intends to follow the story of Chahar, let the remnants of Tuxietu submit to my Han, and ...... for me" Wang Shirong frowned and said, "The minister came today, and it is precisely for this matter, if the lord promises, then Baori Longmei will come to Datong to see him in person, if the lord does not allow it......"

"How many people are there in Baori Longmei?! Are the tribesmen still there?! ”

"The minister has sent someone to keep an eye on it, when that day came, Princess Baori Longmei only had more than 400 horsemen, but after setting up a tent in Chahar, he immediately sent people out to collect the scattered troops, after these days of cultivation, the strength is slightly boosted, and now there are more than 1,300 cavalry and more than 3,000 troops."

Lin Feng smiled dumbly, there was only so little strength left, and he actually wanted to "fan the screen", it was really whimsical, he turned his head to look at Wang Shirong, "What do you think?!" ”

"This matter is quite tricky," Wang Shirong glanced at Lin Feng, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Mingjian, our Han Dynasty has been in close contact with Mongolia since the founding of the dynasty, as far as the territory is concerned, now Chahar, Suiyuan, Rehe, and Chengde are all in my hands, and there are dozens ......of Mongolian tribes in my hands, and the lord has long had the heart to annex the desert.

"Does the gentleman mean acceptance?!"

“…… At present, Zhun Geer is not appeased, Horqin is powerful, if my Han rashly accepts, I am afraid that Horqin will provoke the border," Wang Shirong shook his head and said, "At present, the main force of our army is all transferred to this place, and the defense of Chengde, Ningjin, and Nuergan is empty, if Horqin takes the opportunity to raise troops, the consequences will be dangerous, so it is not acceptable!" ”

"It's not okay to accept, it's not okay not to accept, I said Ji Yun, what kind of reputation are you doing?!" Lin Feng was confused.

"According to the minister's intentions, this matter should be between the two, that is: I, the Great Han, ignored it on the face, and secretly ordered the Chahar Department to shelter, if Horqin sent an envoy to ask, the lord could pretend to be confused, and push the matter to the little prince of Pucha......"

"What if Buryagma sends troops to fight?!"

"At the moment of the great enemy, how could Buryagma rashly start a war with my Han - if he is really so bold, the lord will warn Buryagma: If he dares to act rashly, my Han will make a truce alliance with Geerdan, divide Shanxi equally, and then the two will join forces to kill Korqin!!" Speaking of this, Wang Shirong shook his head and smiled, "The lord is worried a lot, this matter is a matter of hundreds of thousands of troops of my Han Dynasty gathered in Datong, over the Great Wall, and the Hulunbuir grassland can be bulldozed in a few days. ”

Lin Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, just do it, I'll write a note when I go back, send someone to bring some grain and tea bricks to Baori Longmei, and give her some armor and weapons to appease and appease ......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the sound of boots was muttering, Li Ergou gently pushed the door, stood at the door and said, "King Qihan, there is an urgent military situation report from the curtain army!" ”

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, glanced at Wang Shirong, turned his head and said, "Call him in!" ”

"Lord!! Great joy, great joy!! Mu Tianyan looked delighted, just crossed the threshold, he couldn't wait to shout loudly, he waved the military newspaper in his hand, and shouted, "Lord Qiqi, Kou Bei Zhonglang will Zhao Liangdong Pegasus urgently, three days ago, my Fifth Army and the Zhun Geer East Road Army met in Wuniu Mountain Wangjiazhai, General Zhao Liangdong led the whole army to move forward bravely, breaking the enemy army, Kewangjiazhai, beheading more than 4,200 levels, capturing more than 2,200 enemy soldiers, more than 4,600 horses, and beheading 22 enemy generals such as Said and Hudama, And the casualties of our army are only 2,000, and the army is taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and it will be Kedai Prefecture in a few days! He stepped forward, handed over the general's report, and bowed to the ground, "The lord is blessed, the soldiers use their lives, and the head is given to the young, what a thousand joys!" ”

Lin Feng didn't bother to pay attention to him for a while, hurriedly took the military report, read it carefully, and then smiled happily, "Zhao Liangdong is Zhao Liangdong, Lao Tzu knows that it can't be wrong!" The backhand general handed the report to Wang Shirong, and then raised his hand to Mu Tianyan, "Heming, please get up!" ”

Wang Shirong took the military newspaper and browsed it carefully, and said with a smile, "The lord is wise, General Zhao is really talented, there are more than 15,000 people in the Geldan East Route Army, and there are only a few thousand remnants left after this battle. ”

"Yes," Mu Tianyan said, "Since the army started, it has been more than three months now, and the ministers have been ordered by the lord to hoard grain and grass for our army, and I look forward to this long time!" ”

"Is the food and weapons and equipment all in place now?!"

"Back to the lord, after several months of reserves, Datong has hoarded 600,000 catties of dried meat, 3.89 million stones of grain, more than 11.3 million catties of hay, and more than 4.2 million stones of horse material such as bean hatching cake residues.

"Good!!" Lin Feng nodded, "Are the militia and the former militiamen ready?!" ”

"Back to my lord!" Mu Tianyan arched his hand and said respectfully, "In this war, in addition to the militia on duty, my Han court has requisitioned nearly 500,000 people from various state capitals, and transported grain and grass from the local treasury to Datong. ——The minister, that is, all the colleagues of the General Staff Department, have all calculated properly, and the custody is foolproof, please rest assured! ”

"Oh! 70,000 militiamen, 150,000 people, plus 50,000 troops......" Lin Feng looked left and right, and smiled at Wang Shirong and Mu Tianyan, "That's almost 300,000 troops!" Hey hey ......"

"More than that!" Wang Shirong shook his head in denial, raised the military newspaper in his hand and said with a smile, "Don't you forget, General Zhao Liangdong still has 10,000 troops and more than 20,000 militiamen and people, in addition, Zhao Koubei also said that after the victory of Wangjiazhai in the first battle, those traitor soldiers who were originally attached to the Mongolian army sent people to him to surrender today, and only in Daizhou and Baodezhou, there are 40,000 or 50,000 traitor soldiers, if all of them belong to me, Zhao Koubei's Fifth Army will be nearly 100,000 troops!" ......," he stretched out four fingers and smiled at the two of them, "it's an army of 400,000!! ”

The three of them laughed in unison. Hearing the good news, Lin Feng was in a good mood, shook his somewhat stiff wrist, and smiled at the two, "The ancients said 'the work of the case', it's really true, these days really tired Lao Tzu, today is a good day, let's go out to patrol the camp together!" He turned his head to the door and shouted, "Dog, pull out Lao Tzu's 'dark clouds and snow', let's go out for a walk today!" ”

"Dark Cloud Cover Snow" is a black stallion, this war horse originally came from the imperial stable of Kangxi, that year Lin Feng led the army to break through Beijing and then changed the owner, the reason why it is called "Dark Cloud Cover Snow" is because this war horse has a dark coat color, only four hooves and wrists are snow-white, so according to the traditional elegant habits of the Chinese, it was given such a nice name.

This war horse is extremely tall, the head of the horse is long, the coat color is shiny, from the appearance, it does look very majestic, it is said that there were a few experts who have met each other, and it was identified as the descendant of the "sweat and blood horse", the ancestral food, that is to say, it has the blood of Arabian horses, and the quality is very good, but from the perspective of the soldiers, Lin Feng's war horse is not a good war horse, and the main reason here is improper feeding. As the mount of the Qing Emperor, this horse was instigated a little more than a year old, and then placed in the imperial stable to take care of carefully, on weekdays to eat selected grass and soybeans, meals and eggs stirred, never wild feeding, every day except for the morning and evening eunuchs led by eunuchs to walk two or three miles, there is almost no movement, so in the future, this war horse can neither sprint, nor has any long strength, in addition to the good looks, there is almost no other advantages.

The reason why Lin Feng chose it as a mount is because he is not good at riding, although the dark cloud cover snow is not a good horse, but the temperament is tame, walking gently, and it is very comfortable to ride on the back, and more importantly, as the supreme commander of the army, he does not need to charge into battle, under normal circumstances, Lin Feng appeared on the battlefield on a war horse, the only purpose was to let the soldiers see him, so as to boost morale like a battle flag, like a beautiful and eye-catching war horse like the dark cloud cover snow, naturally met all the requirements.

Because of the relationship between his own camp, Lin Feng's current guards are not very strict, at this moment he is riding dark clouds and covering snow, behind Wang Shirong and Mu Tianyan are half a horse behind, and follow closely on both sides, Li Ergou led three guards with strong martial arts to hang far behind - this is Lin Feng's own request, the current Datong itself is a big military camp, tens of thousands of elite troops guard the Quartet, and the attendants do not need to stick to their side like usual.

There are a large number of cavalry stationed in Datong City, in addition to a lot of mules and horses used for transportation, so the streets in the city appear very dirty, the streets and alleys can be seen everywhere in the masses of horse manure, the weather in March and April, is already a little hot, small flies buzzing around, and not because Lin Feng is the supreme commander and accommodating him. Walking all the way along the street, the soldiers patrolling on both sides of the road alternately staggered one by one, the soldiers of the Guards wore beautiful red army uniforms, all of them looked serious, their guns were shoulder-length bayonets, and they walked neatly and neatly, but the cavalry seemed a little scattered, Lin Feng saw with his own eyes, many patrolling Guards cavalry belts were loose, sabers were crooked, horse bells were swaggering all the way, and there was a faint smell of wine after the wrong body. However, Lin Feng was not wearing his eye-catching military uniform at the moment, so he did not plan to picket discipline on the street, in fact, he also understood that the current cavalry unit of the Guards Army had not been formed for a long time, and most of the soldiers in it were from ethnic minority tribes in the eastern Liaodong region, and it was probably very difficult to discuss with them about grooming and military appearance and discipline, at least not yet.

Finally got out of the city, the air was new, and there was a faint rumble of guns in the distance, which was the firearms unit conducting shooting training - according to the Han army drill code drawn up by Lin Feng himself, the musket unit and artillery must conduct live firing training at least twice a month, and each musketeer must shoot at least ten shots a month. This mode of training brought great pressure to the logistics work of the Han army, and due to the limitations of the technical conditions of this era, a flintlock pistol could only shoot an average of five or six hundred shots at most, and then most of them were scrapped and repaired, and the more frequent the live-ammunition training, the more military spending was naturally consumed.

The dirt official road outside the city was pressed out of two deep concave marks by the cart, the road was bustling and crowded, Lin Feng was very consciously let outside the road, the horse was slow on the grass, and looked from afar, a long human dragon meandered from the sky, and countless ragged people shouted trumpets, or shouted cattle, to transport military supplies into the city.

"What people!! …… Come out!! A guard behind him suddenly stepped forward, blocking Lin Feng behind him, and at the same time holding a gun in his hand, aiming at a bush in front of him, and shouted, "If you don't come out again, I will kill you with one shot!" ……”

There was a burst of information in the grass, and a figure slowly stood up, and the guards immediately rushed forward, grabbed it, and threw it heavily in front of Lin Feng's horse.

Lin Feng looked at it fixedly, this person was wearing a tattered felt hat often worn by northern peasants, the short shirt was full of holes, and the tattered straw sandals were full of mud, judging from the way he was dressed, he was obviously a man transporting baggage, his exposed skin was dark and split, and his big hands were full of calluses.

"Who are you?" Wang Shirong stepped forward slightly and asked, "Raise your head!" ”

“…… Old...... Lord......"

With a "snap", one of the guards lifted the horsewhip, whipped the skin on his back, and scolded, "Did you hear that? - Lift your head up!! ”

He let out a low howl, his body trembled even more, blood slowly oozing from the wound and flowing down his back, and he hummed vaguely, "...... Blue sky...... Blue sky...... Lord......"

Lin Feng pushed aside the guards who were blocking him, eased his tone, and asked softly, "Who are you?!" ”

The man slowly raised his head, glanced at Lin Feng secretly, and as soon as he made eye contact with Lin Feng, he lowered his head as if he was on fire, and said vaguely, "...... Villain...... The villain is a tenant of the old man's family......"

Lin Feng was stunned, glanced at Wang Shirong and Mu Tianyan, and said puzzledly, "Who is Master Niu?!" ”

“…… Mr. Niu...... Master Niu is the landlord of Niujiazhuang......" As if infected by Lin Feng's gentle voice, the man relaxed a lot, and his tone became coherent, "Master Niu is the master of Niujiazhuang!" ……”

Lin Feng didn't know how to talk to him for a while, so he asked patiently, "Where is Niujiazhuang?!" ”

“…… Niujiazhuang is under Xiahe Fort......" He winced and glanced at the guards next to him, and said to him, "Master...... The villain doesn't know that Xiahe Fort is in the hands of that master! ”

"It's Zhengding Mansion!" Without waiting for Lin Feng to ask again, Wang Shirong said softly, "Lord Qiqi, the minister probably remembers that there is a Xiahe Fort in Zhengding Mansion!" ”

"Okay!" Lin Feng waved his hand, "What's your name?!" ”

“…… Villain...... The villain's name is Chen Si. He looked up in horror and looked uneasily at the guard's saber.

"Okay, Chen Si......" The poor man seemed to be not young, his hair was gray outside his felt hat, and Lin Feng felt a little pity in his heart, "You stand up and speak!" ”

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare to ......" Chen Si was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed, "The master asks, and the villain will kneel!" ……”

Lin Feng didn't insist, in fact, he could see that if he was more polite, the more psychological damage might be to him, so it was better to follow the tradition, "How old are you!" ”

"The villain is fifty-six years old! ……”

When my father was more than enough, Lin Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva in embarrassment, what a crime, he smiled bitterly and said, "What were you doing just now?!" ”

"Master......" Suddenly, he trembled again, and said in a trembling voice, "Master spare his life...... The old man spared his life...... The villain just ...... Over there...... over there......"

"It's okay, it's okay, just, I don't blame you!" Lin Feng was helpless, he tried his best to calm his tone, and said softly like coaxing a child, "I said Chen Si, who else is there in your family?!" ”

“…… There is also a grandson...... Six years old......"

"Just a grandson?!" Lin Feng said puzzledly, "What about your wife?" You don't have a son, a daughter?! ”

"Villain...... The villain's family is from Henan, and then they rebelled, the son was killed by thieves, and the daughter-in-law was also taken away. Chen Si's expression was indifferent, his face was numb, as if he was talking about someone else's business, and inadvertently, he raised his hand and wiped it, wiping two turbid tears in his palm.

was so miserable, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh, "How are you doing in your hometown in Henan?!" ”

"It's okay to make do with it, what's so good," Chen Si gradually relaxed, "There are still two acres of land in my hometown, but it's a pity that I rebelled and couldn't plant it!" ”

Lin Feng was silent, stretched out his hand into his arms, groped for a long time, but found that he was penniless, Mu Tianyan watched coldly, saw this and hurriedly took out a little broken silver, weighed it slightly, about a tael, threw it to Chen Si, and turned his head to look at the guard.

"No, this is the master's reward for you, it's none of your business, you can go!" The guard grabbed Chen Si and drove him towards the official road.

Lin Feng rode on the horse and looked at the rickety back of the old man Chen Si fixedly, until he blended into the flow of people on the official road and could no longer see clearly, then he turned around and sighed to Wang Shirong, "It's not easy!" ”

"Yes, yes, people's livelihood is suffering!" Wang Shirong echoed.

"At such an age, it's not easy to be dragged into the people's husband!" Lin Feng smiled bitterly.

"Yes, yes, the local officials are not acting in a bad way, and their humble positions must be thoroughly investigated," Mu Tianyan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "Actually, our Han court has already issued an edict, and all households who smoke Ding Zhuang ......"

"Alright, I got it!" Lin Feng waved his hand, knowing in his heart that the landlord exploited the tenants and passed on the labor tax, this is China's national condition, whoever is a magistrate is the same, and no one is to blame.

He looked at the people on the official road, suddenly turned around, and said to Wang Shirong, "Ji Yun, you said that I killed Kangxi and disturbed the world, is it right or wrong?!" ”
