Sometimes people focus on a certain thing, and time flies, often inadvertently, hours, days, or even months pass unconsciously.

Yang Cong devoted himself to manufacturing weapons and equipment, and reorganizing the armament for war, and this time passed like flowing water, and the New Year Festival arrived in a blink of an eye.

Although Xuanfu Town is more than 300 miles away from the capital, the weather is cold, and the road is not easy to walk, and the production of weapons and equipment in the Xuanhua Plant is also at a critical stage.

Therefore, he stayed in Xuanfu Town and didn't go anywhere this New Year, and the Wenchen generals under his command saw that the governor didn't leave, so it was naturally not good for them to return to their hometowns for the New Year, but his parents rushed to Xuanhua Mansion City early, and the family could be regarded as having a reunion year.

As soon as the New Year's Festival passed, it was almost February, and the goal set by Yang Cong was to produce ten tiger squat guns per day and fifty new muskets per day after the New Year, and Wang Xuan also reached it early, and after nearly half a year of accumulation, the number of tiger squat guns has reached more than 1,000, and the number of new muskets has also reached six or seven thousand, and the elite of the 10,000 border troops in Xuanfu Town are almost half equipped.

At this time, Xuanfu Town can be described as strong and strong, and he is not worried about the Tatar cavalry coming to invade again, Yang Cong hopes that Ji Nang can come to take revenge, and when the time comes, he can let the Tatar cavalry taste the power of the tiger squat cannon and the new musket.

Will Ji Nang come for revenge?

He wanted to take revenge, but his primary target was not Yang Cong, but Xianning Hou Qiuluan, last year, he was the Xianning Hou Qiuluan, and ran to Xuanfu Town to pick up cheap, but suffered the most painful defeat in his life, losing more than 2,000 fine horses.

Of course, he wanted to avenge this revenge, so just after the New Year, he summoned the Tatar troops to assemble in Hetao, preparing to go straight to Ganzhou Town and clean up the Xianning Marquis Qiuluan.

He also knew that at this time, Xianning Hou Qiuluan had advanced to the trilateral general system and could mobilize the men and horses of the three border towns near Hetao, but he was not too worried, he was quite aware of the combat strength of the Ming border army, especially the border army in Shaanxi, and any disturbance could not escape his eyes at all.

He may not have much to do about these people guarding the city, once they get to the field, it will be the world of their Tatar cavalry, not to mention the elite of the 30,000 border army, even 300,000, he is not afraid!

The reason why Xianning Hou Qiu Luan still stays in the desolate Ganzhou Town is mainly because Ganzhou Town is his hometown, his old nest, and the power of the Qiu family is deeply rooted here, he is the emperor of the soil here, if he goes to the other two border towns, he may not be so comfortable.

However, although others did not go to the other two border towns, their minions had already stretched out, and it was not easy for him to become a trilateral commander, of course he had to take a good hand.

The so-called "three fires for new officials to take office", after he took office, he also promulgated three regulations.

First, all the military supplies provided by the salt merchants on the three sides had to be verified by his cronies before they could be distributed.

This is to tell those salt merchants that it is useless to find other people, and that they must be honored for examples, money, etc.!

Second, the distribution of all salaries in the three sides must also be verified by his cronies, and corruption is strictly prohibited.

Well, he is actually a thief shouting to catch a thief, and his meaning is obvious, that is, all of you must not be corrupt, only me can be corrupt!

Third, all military households on the three sides must hand over 10 percent of the harvest per mu of tuntian fields to be used as military rations in preparation for mobilizing a large army to recover the Hetao.

This regulation is ostensibly to collect grain and grass to prepare for the battle with the Tartars, but in fact it is an excuse, an excuse for him to squeeze his subordinates, hundreds of thousands of guards on three sides, and there are millions of acres of tuntian, and one percent of each mu is nearly one million stone of grain!

Yang Cong is desperately spending money, manufacturing weapons and equipment, and reorganizing the army, but he is desperately corrupt, and the soldiers on the three sides are naturally complaining and demoralized, and many upright generals have begun to impeach him, but they have all been resolved by him and Yan Song.

As a result, he had nothing to do, and the generals who impeached him were cleaned up by him.

Jiang Zheng, the chief soldier who had defeated Ji Nang, Wang Fu, the deputy chief soldier and other veterans of a hundred battles were all framed and dismissed by him, and they were replaced by his wine bags and rice bags.

He has been in charge of the trilateral system for less than a year, and the three sides of Shaanxi have been rectified by him like a plate of scattered sand, with no combat power at all.

It's very simple, continue to send money and food!

The army of Ji Nang had just arrived at the border of Ganzhou Town, and Shi Yi, a close confidant of Xianning Hou Qiuluan, came to ask for a meeting again.

This guy dared to come, Ji Nang was so angry that he ordered someone to hack him to death at the wrong point.

However, he can be regarded as a hero for a while, and the city government still has a little bit, the so-called "two countries are at war and do not cut down", he knows that he will not reap any benefits by cutting Shi Yi, and he may be able to make a lot of money and food by scaring and scaring him.

Therefore, he held back his anger and recruited Shi Yi into the tent.

Shi Yi was still as shameless as ever, and as soon as he entered the handsome tent, he nodded and said, "King, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Good?

What a hammer!

Ji Nang said angrily: "Didn't you ask knowingly? You did a good thing, deceived this king to Xuanfu Town, and caused this king to lose thousands of people in vain, how to calculate this account? ”

When Shi Yi heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The king is angry, the king is angry, we didn't mean to deceive the king, and our Hou Ye didn't know that the new champion was so powerful." ”

Ji Nang snorted coldly: "Is it over if you don't know?" Go back and tell you Lord Hou that you have washed your neck for this king, and this time we will not die! ”

Faint to death, such a big anger!

Shi Yi glanced at Ji Nang carefully, and then said cautiously: "King, we are really unintentional, as for your losses, we can make appropriate compensation." ”

Ji Nang pretended to be disdainful and said, "How much can you lose?" ”

This price is not easy to open, Shi Yi can only ask carefully: "How much does the king think is appropriate?" ”

Ji Nang seized the opportunity and the lion opened his mouth and said: "200,000 taels of silver, this king will take it to compensate the families of the fallen soldiers, and add another million stone of grain, which is the ration for this army." ”

, why don't you rob it, even if you rob it, you won't be able to grab so much money and food!

Shi Yi was puzzled: "King, this price is too high, where did our Hou Ye get so much money and food?" ”

Ji Nang snorted coldly: "Don't think that this king doesn't know, your Hou Ye has become the general system of the three sides, hmph, this king was played by your Hou Ye like a monkey, and your Hou Ye took advantage of this to climb to a high position, this king suffered such a big loss, is this compensation too much?" ”

Shi Yi said helplessly: "Haven't we Hou Ye just become the general system of the three sides for a long time, and we haven't reaped much benefit, the king, do you think this will be done, or 10,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stone of grain, and we will stop the army." ”

As if humiliated, Ji Nang said angrily: "Do you want to play this king again? Listen, if you don't have 100,000 taels of silver and 500,000 stone of grain, this king will immediately wave his army to level your Ganzhou Town! ”
