Hearing this, the county magistrate of Mizhi County couldn't help laughing, and when Li Laiheng on the side saw it, he immediately patted his chest and said: "If the Mongolian Tartars dare to mess around, we will go back and destroy them!" Our Dongjiang Army has even destroyed the captives, and we are still afraid that they will not succeed? ”

He took the opportunity to finally show his presence.

The county commander glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "There is no need for General Li to be destroyed, the Mongolian tribe is already afraid, how dare they offend my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Speaking of this, he saw that Li Guo showed a slight look of doubt, so he explained in detail: "Back then, the emperor destroyed the Tumut tribe in the first war, destroyed more than 10,000 captives in the city of Guihua in the second war, and also destroyed the Urat department and the Chahar department by the way, and wiped out the eastern Mongolian tribes in the third war, or let them completely annex. Such a great martial art, since ancient times, how many people can achieve it? If they provoke the emperor, aren't they afraid that their tribe will also be destroyed? ”

Li Guo nodded when he heard this, and he already understood something in his heart.

However, the county lord did not stop, but said endlessly: "Before, the emperor had already given a decree to the three tribes of Mobei, asking them to return, not just surrender. Not long ago, news came that the three tribes of Mobei had agreed that they would not dare to go against the will of the Heavenly Khan. ”

Speaking of this, he said proudly: "The prestige of the emperor is now thunderous in the grassland, and the three tribes in Mobei are like this, how can Western Mongolia be an exception?" Actually, it's not surprising at all. In the past, the Liaodong Nu chieftains were able to make the three tribes of Mobei surrender, and let the western Oirath Department submit, with the power of the current emperor, let them be attached, and they didn't dare not listen. ”

If it is said that in the past, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the grassland tribes still had a little confidence, and they felt that the army of the Central Plains Dynasty was in this vast grassland, so they could not help it. At least it's not a very large amount of financial, material and human resources, but they can't help it. Whether or not to submit to the Central Plains Dynasty depends only on whether they want to do so or not.

But now, one after another, the grassland tribes have been wiped out, and even more armies have been completely annihilated. These examples are placed there, and it is not a question of whether they want to or not, but depends on the meaning of the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty. If they are to be submitted, they must be submitted; If you want them to submit, it is not something that you can cope with by surrender.

This kind of prestige of the Central Plains Dynasty over the grassland tribe is something that has never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is reasonable that the county commander of Mizhi County feels proud and proud.

"Yes, if they dare not listen to the emperor's will, anyway, now that the Jianyu has been destroyed and the Japanese kingdom has also been defeated, we can all be transferred to the grassland to fight those unsatisfied tribes!" Li Laiheng nodded again and again when he heard this, held his head high, and agreed with high spirits.

Li Guo was also nodding, his face full of admiration.

As a clan from northern Shaanxi, in the past, every autumn, it was the time when the Mongolian tribes entered the customs and fought the autumn valley. For generations, we have to suffer from this kind of military disaster. And now such a comparison makes him feel that the Ming Dynasty is even more powerful, and this is all due to the wisdom and martial arts of the current emperor!

He was just thinking about it, when he heard the county order still have something to say to them: "Actually, there is another important reason why the grassland tribe will be willing to join Daming so quickly!" ”

Upon hearing this, Li Guo and Li Laiheng were a little surprised, and Li Laiheng was the first to ask, "What is the reason?" ”

"The so-called combination of grace and power is the king's way!" The county commander shook his head and replied, "The military is at its peak, and it has already shocked the Mongolian tribes. In addition, once the Mongolian tribes belong to the Ming Dynasty, they will no longer worry about the winter, and if the court helps them survive the winter, their life will be much better than not belonging to the Ming Dynasty, so that if there are Mongolian tribe leaders who do not want to belong to them, their herdsmen will secretly come to join them. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "The three tribes of Mobei are an example. Originally, the emperor refused their submission and asked them to surrender, so he was still hesitating. Fortunately, their herdsmen came to the Hetao in groups. Seeing this, the leaders of the three tribes in Mobei had no choice but to join him. ”

As soon as they heard this, the three of them couldn't help but laugh when they thought about the helplessness of the leaders of the three tribes in Mobei.

Subsequently, the county order of Mizhi County gave a detailed introduction to the situation in the Lower Naturalization City. It is said that many soldiers in Yulin Military Town have moved to Naturalization City, and I heard that it is estimated that in the past two years, the garrison of the governor of Yansui will also be moved to Naturalization City. In addition, a road will be built from Yulin to Guihua City.

Not only in northern Shaanxi, but also in Gansu, Shanxi and other places, many people also ran to the Naturalization City.

Nowadays, the combination of farming and grazing there, the atmosphere in full swing is far more lively than that in Kannai.

Li Guo listened to the introduction, and couldn't help but be very moved, and couldn't help but have a plan in his heart. Why don't you go to Yulin to find Li Dingguo, who has also returned to his hometown, and then go to Naturalization City together?

Thinking so in his heart, while it was still early, the county magistrate took them to where their old house was.

Li Guo's house is naturally not a good house, it is just a thatched mud house in the civilian area, after they fled and rebelled, no one took care of it, and it had already collapsed.

Later, after there were no more bandits in Shaanxi, the local county order rectified the appearance of the county and repaired it a little, so as not to be too dilapidated and ugly. Now, after receiving the order that Li Guo was coming back, he repaired it again.

Today, there are not many families on this street, and it is deserted. But when the county leader led Li Guo and his party over, the person didn't know where to come from, and they stood on both sides of the street to watch.

Seeing that Li Guo and Li Laiheng were accompanied by the county honor, as well as a team of personal guards, these onlookers showed envious eyes. When they knew that it was Li Guo and Li Laiheng who returned to their hometown, they talked about it with envy.

Of course, no one does not open their eyes to mention Li Guo's rebellion back then, but they are all talking about Li Guo's childhood, or simply the rumors that they fought in Liaodong and so on.

Anyway, there is one meaning in and out of the words, Li Guo has been very clever since he was a child, and he looks like he has grown up and is promising. Look at it now, it's really right, they have all become the marshals of the court, how majestic! Glory of the ancestors!

Li Laiheng is an orphan whose parents died when he was a child, and he can't even remember where his home is. Therefore, standing in Li Guo's hometown, he was a little bored, so he couldn't help but listen to the discussions of the surrounding people.

Seriously, hearing their envy, Li Laiheng's heart was still very useful, so he listened more energetically.

“……”

"It seems that being a soldier and eating food is also a good choice! As long as he has made meritorious service, this official position will jump up slowly! It's only been how many years have passed, and they are already handsome. This is handsome, we have a few of them! ”

"Hey, now you know it's good to be a soldier? In the past, all the people in the northwest were soldiers, and they all had to go to serve as soldiers, and I heard that we in northern Shaanxi were also going to implement this thing. If I'm not mistaken, you weren't happy at the time, and you complained to me! ”

"I admit that in the past, I did think that good men were not soldiers and had no potential. But no, isn't it going to change! The government notice said that if you don't become a soldier, you will be a military household for generations, and your children and grandchildren will be soldiers. And look at them, this soldier can still make meritorious contributions, if one is not careful, he can be a general, how majestic, see? ”

“……”

Li Laiheng heard their words, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked the county order: "County honor, what does this all the people mean by soldiers?" ”

The county magistrate was asked so suddenly, he was stunned at first, and then he understood, so he turned his head to look at him and explained with a smile: "Before, the traitor Chai Shihua Yingjian plundered the northwest and plundered many people. The emperor drove the expedition in person, and after solving the Jianjiao, he made a decree to let all the people in the northwest be soldiers, that is, all men of school age, all of them must be soldiers, only in this way, even if the imperial army is not there, no one dares to come to be presumptuous. It won't be so easy to be bullied! ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced out at the onlookers, and probably understood what the situation was, so he continued: "A few months ago, the meaning of the imperial court, this kind of whole people are soldiers, should be pushed out in the whole of Shaanxi, and now it will be pushed out in northern Shaanxi first. In the event of an incident in the Loop, we can immediately assemble sufficient troops. ”

Hearing this, Li Laiheng understood the meaning of those words that those people outside were chatting about.

The county magistrate saw that he was fine, so he turned his head and talked to Li Guo again.

And Li Laiheng was bored, so he continued to listen to the people outside.

“……”

"If it's too peaceful today, I'm just worried, if I go to be a soldier, but there is no enemy, then what kind of soldier is it, only with military merit can we have everything!"

"Yes, I didn't expect to worry about the peace of the world now, if it was changed before, it would be unthinkable. We Qin people are actually suitable for being soldiers, and it doesn't matter if all the people are soldiers, when there is no military merit to stand, what is the meaning? ”

“……”

Li Laiheng listened to the regret in their words, and couldn't help but step out, and followed the voice to see that it was a few young men, so he said to them in the local dialect: "What is there to worry about, it's not easy to make military merits?" Do you know? It's so high, it's really so high, and I still want to covet our Daming, and now I'm afraid that I want to destroy the country, and some of them can be killed, how about it, are you interested? ”

Seeing that he suddenly came out and opened his mouth, these people were startled at first, but when they heard the cordial local dialect and saw that this general had no quarrel at all, these young people became a little more bold and tried to talk to Li Laiheng.

Li Laiheng was worried that he had no chance to show off, so he talked endlessly about the experience of Liaodong, and he was amazed when he heard these young people. It wasn't until Li Guohe and the county order were about to leave that Li Laiheng reluctantly left.

However, after his publicity, the news of the war against the Japanese country also spread.
