"Good news!! …… Great victory in Jing County!! ——"A pegasus came, while shouting hoarsely, while flying the horsewhip, driving away the strong men on the official road of Datong Mansion, the horse's hooves trampled up and down, bringing up countless flying mud, splashing the faces of passers-by, people panicked sideways to avoid, before they had time to scold, but the cavalry was like a gallop, long gone.

This year's spring ploughing is resting, the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Han Dynasty will continue to write Tianjin Mansion, Baoding Mansion and Zhengding Mansion, Datong Mansion and subordinate prefectures and counties, has issued nearly 300,000 militiamen, young and strong, along the official road all the way to the east, the grain, forage, gunpowder and other supplies of the government treasury to Datong, to this day, there have been more than three months, at this time it is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, almost half of the farmers under the Han Dynasty have no rice to cook, but under the stick and whip of the Han Dynasty, they also have to bring their own wild vegetable cakes, on top of the old felt hat, Pushing a chicken cart (note: chicken cart, i.e. wheelbarrow. On the road, the spring rain continues, the official road that has been in disrepair for a long time is muddy, and the road is extremely difficult, but the Han court is extremely military, and the military time is also very tight, and the slightest carelessness is a major crime of killing the head, under the bayonet pressure of the guards, Ding Zhuang had to brave the cold wind to run for his life, for several months, only on the official road from Datong to Zhengding, I don't know how many lives have been taken.

The camp of the Han King Lin Feng was located in the Yamen of the Datong Prefect. He arrived in Datong two months ago, and he arrived with the First Guards Infantry Army and the Third Guards Cavalry Army, together with the army militia, with a total strength of nearly 30,000 people. Under the persuasion of a group of generals, the camp of the Han king finally moved to the warm and comfortable prefect's yamen.

At this time, Datong has completely become a large barracks, the Han Dynasty court of all walks of life gathered here, in addition to the three guards corps directly under the jurisdiction of Lin Feng, in addition to the second infantry army left in Beijing, the other two armies all went out with the expedition, plus Zhao Guangyuan and Ma Ying's troops, the Han army stationed in Datong only has more than 50,000 regular troops, including about 12,000 musket troops, more than 8,000 field artillery, more than 32,000 cavalry, in addition to Zhao Liangdong's heavy artillery brigade left in Datong.

Tens of thousands of troops around the small Datongfu city stationed in a plum blossom shape, every day the sky is just bright, countless soldiers will pour out of the barracks to line up for exercises, the iron hooves shook the ground and the cannon roared, shocking the princes of Suiyuan Mongolia, Henan, Shanxi, nearly a hundred years, except for Li Zicheng's oath to attack the Ming once, this area has never been stationed so many troops.

In order to cope with the challenge of the Dzungar Khanate, the empire transferred almost all his elites, and incidentally, the wealth accumulated by the Han government for several years is also being consumed at a very alarming rate, at this time, in addition to tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 60,000 militiamen, there are more than 50,000 war horses and more than 10,000 mules and horses, in order to cope with this huge consumption, hundreds of thousands of young people have been running around day and night, collecting food and materials from all corners of the territory and transporting them to Datong Mansion City to hoard, This kind of high-intensity transportation has been carried out for more than three months now, but it still failed to gather enough war materials, and now Zhao Liangdong's Fifth Army has been fighting for several months, and the follow-up army has been unable to go out for a long time, and the lack of baggage and transportation strength is also an important reason.

The official road from Datong to Jing County detours, rugged and steep and difficult to transport, although Zhao Liangdong began to consolidate the grain road as soon as he entered Shanxi, but until now it is still not completely guaranteed to be absolutely safe, the so-called "the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first", the luck of the Han Empire is all bet here, let Lin Feng be such a bold person, he does not dare to act rashly, not to mention that at this moment his "close allies" suddenly have a strange movement, which may lead to a sudden change in the situation of the war, and the main force will not be able to attack easily.

Lin Feng has not had an easy time this time, since he arrived in Datong, the heavy military affairs have been pressed to the waist, at present his empire is fighting on two fronts, in addition to the Zhao Liangdong Department not far away in the battle with Junggar, thousands of miles away in Anhui, Jiangsu battlefield is also disturbed, every day when I open my eyes, all kinds of food tables, salary reports, military newspapers, and all kinds of intelligence from behind enemy lines and the civil affairs folds handed over by Beijing are handed over like a flowing price, each is very important, and everything is not to be neglected, Over the past two months, his weight has continued to drop, his appetite has deteriorated, and even his beard has grown much faster than usual.

Looking at the mountains of twists and turns on the case, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh, originally in normal times, his work was not so busy, most of the government and military affairs were shared by Li Guangdi and Zhou Peigong, he himself was just dealing with the important affairs they sorted out, at this moment these two capable subordinates were left in Beijing, so he had to do many things himself.

The door was gently slammed, and a sound of footsteps came, Lin Feng looked up when he heard the sound, only to see Li Ergou, the colonel of the Guards standing outside the door, bowing slightly, and respectfully saluting Wang Shirong, the privy envoy who had entered the door, without reporting or daring to stop him.

"Oh, it turned out to be Ji Yun!" Lin Feng dropped the brush, stood up, and frowned, "Is there an eyebrow in Horqin?!" ”

Wang Shirong's status in the Han court is very special. He was originally a subordinate of Wu Sangui of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and later served as the envoy of the Han army in an accidental situation, because he was excluded by the prime minister of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Xia Guoxiang, he took this opportunity to take refuge in Lin Feng, and later made many meritorious contributions, won the trust of Lin Feng, and was appointed as the privy envoy of the ordnance statistics yamen after a while, and became the head of the secret police of the Lin Han Empire. Wang Shirong has always been directly responsible for Lin Feng, so although it is only a small colonel rank, he is actually in a high position in the Han court, and everyone looks sideways, and many ministers secretly call him "Wang Commander" (note: that is, a metaphor for the leader of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei).

"Meet the Lord!" At this time, Wang Shirong held a file in his hand, stood up after saluting, and bowed down to hand over the file, "Back to the lord, things are a little eyebrow-raising, this time the internal strife between Horqin and Tushetu is really not ordinary, even King Tushetu Khan and several princes are dead!" ”

Lin Feng took the file, flipped through it casually, and smiled at Wang Shirong, "Have you found out the reason?!" ”

"Lord Qiqi, since the change in Horqin, he immediately sent capable officers straight into the grassland, and went to Suiyuan, Chahar, Yikezhao and Hulunbuir one after another, and only got the Pegasus return this morning!" He paused for a moment and continued, "Tushetu's pasture was originally very large, starting from Ulanqab in the west, including Baotou, Guihuakouzi, Anxi, Suzhou in the east, and the territory was thousands of miles. Ally with Korqin to fight against the ...... of the Zungar tribe"

"Oh, since you lost the battle and fled for your life, how can you drag it and make trouble on the land of Horqin?!" Lin Feng couldn't help but interrupt him, frowned, and said, "Without territory and strength, what else is there to coax?!" ”

"The lord doesn't know, this matter is definitely not what Tu Xie Tu wants," Wang Shirong smiled bitterly and arched his hand, "Lord Mingjian, that Tu Xie Tu and Horqin Ming are allies, but they are actually attached, Tu Xie Tu was originally a heroic man of the Mongolian tribes, and there are a lot of people under his command, and there are more than 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry alone, but since the defeat and fled west, the casualties and casualties were scattered all the way, and when he got Suiyuan, there were only more than 60,000 troops left, and the soldiers were only more than 10,000 people, so he had to take refuge under Horqin, this so-called ' 'Infighting', in fact, Buryagmar's intention to annex!! ”

I see, Lin Feng nodded, and then asked, "Tuxie Tubu has been in the Megatron Grassland for more than 100 years, and he can be regarded as the boss of the party back then, and his reputation is not small, right?!" Although he was in trouble for a while this time, it was not without a chance to make a comeback, this Buryagma is really kind, and he is not afraid of others saying that he does not talk about morality," he smiled, "How did he do it?!" ”

"Back to the lord, after Tu Xie Tu fled east to Horqin, Horqin Khan King Bur Yagma placed it in the area of Sain Sanda, Hongli Temple, and Sizi River, at first, it was still very polite, in addition to setting aside a large area of pasture and pasture, last year when the snow fell more than 300,000 cattle and sheep to help it survive the winter, and then the change, is the beginning of this year! ……”

"Oh, keep talking!!"

"Yes," Wang Shirong bowed slightly, "Last winter, Mongolia was cold, snowfall, and the ice period was longer than in previous years, in addition to the death of cattle and sheep, there was a wolf plague, and the tribes panicked, Horqin and Junggar took the lead respectively, and taught the tribes to form a coalition to hunt wolves together, so this war stopped, because of the cold last year, all the departments of the grassland were short of food, Geldan took advantage of the situation to go south to the Central Plains, and plundered and replenished in the Central Plains. Naturally, the pressure on the border of Bulyagma is much less! ”

Lin Feng naturally knew these things, and everyone in the world knew what the "covenant" between the Han army and Horqin was. Last year, when Junggar and Horqin fought in the dark on the grassland, Horqin sent dozens of envoys in a row, asking for "allies to send troops to help", but the elders in Beijing were all unfathomable, and the war horse gold was still received, but when it came to sending troops, they hummed and pushed three and four, thinking that Buryagema must have suppressed a belly, and this winter Junggar went south, and the Han army went west to crusade, this diplomatic situation suddenly reversed, and last year's domineering Han army court immediately turned its face, groveling to curry favor with Buryagma, asking the Korqin Department to send troops to echo the military operations of the Han army, of course, the prince of Buryagma suddenly also found that his tribe was facing huge internal pressure, lack of food, lack of grass, lack of artillery, lack of salt, lack of tea, lack of cloth, and even lack of coffee tables, chairs and furniture, in short, before these crises were resolved, it was absolutely impossible to send troops, so the envoys of the Han army took advantage of the excitement every time and returned disappointed.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "No wonder, no wonder, this old guy is really good at finding time, and he is really cunning!" ”

Wang Shirong smiled and agreed, "That's exactly the ......" He suddenly showed an ambiguous expression, "My lord knows that in addition to the war in Horqin last year, a major event happened!" ”

"Oh?!" Lin Feng was taken aback, "Big deal?!" What's the big deal?! ”

"At the beginning of last summer, the princess of King Buryagma Khan fell ill with a cold and died after being cured!"

Lin Feng was stunned, squinted at Wang Shirong, didn't know what he meant, and asked casually, "Is this princess very beautiful?!" Isn't it a Manchurian character? Could it be that it's 'rushing to the crown and being angry for the red face' and other dog skin upside down?! ”

"This princess is an authentic Mongolian, and she has nothing to do with the Manchus, as for her appearance, Weichen doesn't know, but since she is a princess, she should have been a beauty a few decades ago, right?!" Wang Shirong couldn't help but laugh and said, "When this princess returns to heaven, she will be forty-four out of fifty!" ”

Lin Feng was stunned and said with a dumb smile, "I said Ji Yun, what are you kidding?!" Isn't it normal for this old lady to die?! I'm fucking fifty or sixty years old and still not dead, do you still want to live to be hundreds of years old?! ”

"The lord forgives the sins, what Wei Chen said, the meaning is not here," Wang Shirong smiled slightly, and the words changed, "The lord doesn't know, Tuxie Tutai Jitumen Ure has a son and a daughter under his knees, and the son doesn't talk about him, this daughter is not simple...... " He smiled, "Hehe, the princess of Tuxietu is named Baori Longmei, and she is very famous in the prairie, and she is called." Prairie Bailing', can sing and dance, and can ride horses and shoot arrows, heroic posture does not let the eyebrows, is a famous beauty on the grassland, Tumen Ure is very fond of her, regarded as the pearl of the palm......"

Only then did Lin Feng react and said in a lost voice, "What do you mean?!" …… Could it be that this old boy of Bouryagma wants her to continue the strings?! ”

"Lord Shengming!!"

"Yo he, this old guy is really old-hearted, how do you say that, 'a pear tree pressing a begonia', right?! Tsk......" Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Buryagmar is this *** raised!" ”
