Chapter 467: Why Don't You Play Big?

If you want to throw the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty that is idle and has nothing to do now, even if it is thrown out, it will not affect the local defense, and there is only one headache for Emperor Chongzhen.

Armour.

The armor factory was damaged, and the armor that was originally planned to be distributed was burned by Zhu Rong's old man before it was distributed.

Of course, according to the news reported by Jinyiwei and Xia Ezhe, Bai Yi who appeared on the side of Nuergansi was poorer than Jiannu, and armor basically did not exist for them.

It's just that those poor and crazy Bai Yi are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes, but they are poor and don't want to give people a headache, and the rest is basically like that.

Although it is said that even if this million-strong army does not wear armor and form Group A in the past, the probability of winning in the past is very high, but is Emperor Chongzhen a person who is poor in money?

What are the spicy kings of the Ming Dynasty, the kings of the counties, and the gods, what they don't have is silver? And those corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen, in short, it is not difficult to equip this million army with armor.

The problem is that it takes time to build the armor of a million army equipment, and if there is really a million army armor, then it is better to go to the Mughal Empire now, in order to catch the Mao slaves, it is too extravagant to send a million army.

And then the army of a million was split.

Part of it is 200,000 of various minority nationalities plus 400,000 ordinary Ming soldiers, a total of 600,000, after the disbandment, they were transferred to semi-railway soldiers on the spot, working half a day and practicing half a day, anyway, they can't be idle.

The remaining 400,000 were composed of pure Han family members, commanded by Liu Xingzuo, the freshly baked commander of the Beihai Marching Road, who took off the armor of the Beijing camp and the new army and put them on before heading to Shanhaiguan.

As for why it was Beihai and not Nurkandus, because Emperor Chongzhen remembered that Su Wu once herded sheep there on Lake Baikal, which was also called Beihai.

Now that there are Mao slaves eyeing it, Emperor Chongzhen thinks that this is not good, if this place is taken away by Mao Nu, where will the descendants of future generations go to hang Su Wu and his old man?

What's more, even if Su Wu has no opinion, who dares to guarantee that the Dragon King of the North Sea has no opinion?

Ao Yan is not a good-tempered person, if one day he finds that his home is occupied by Mao Nu, and he can't even enjoy a little blood food, then Da Ming can still have a good son?

It is estimated that the current drought and waterlogging problems are because Dongying was occupied by Japanese slaves, and Daliuqiu was occupied by Hongyi, and Ao Yan and his old people were not in a good mood.

So no matter what, these territories must be kept - you don't care if Lao Tzu can't live or not, Lao Tzu has a lot of territory, and I am willing to be idle.

Then, according to the principle of courtesy and exchange, as well as the tradition of the ancestors for thousands of years, not only must the Mao slaves be killed, but also their original territory must be returned.

Otherwise, how did the Yanhuang tribe develop to such a large territory now? Is it all sent by someone else?

Emperor Chongzhen felt that his theory was fine, and Wen Tiren and Zhang Weixian also felt that there was no problem - the bigger the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the more benefits his people would be able to reap, it was obvious that he would be able to reap the benefits.

The 400,000 troops, Emperor Chongzhen's opinion, were all transported by train to Shanhaiguan, and then from Shanhaiguan to Haizhouwei, and then marched north along the armed march of Ah Huang - if there is a kind of you who will provoke you.

Then it was Hong Chengchou's turn to have a headache.

Fourth, these 400,000 troops, all the trains of the Ming Dynasty are now transferred, and it will take dozens of trips to transport these people to Shanhaiguan, not to mention war horses, equipment, ammunition, grain and grass.

The entire Ministry of Railways is crazy up and down to dispatch trains to carry soldiers, and they can only hehe for the silver waved by the merchants - the silver is important or the will of His Majesty the Emperor is important, and it is a very simple multiple-choice question after Huang Liji hangs up at the noon gate.

Of course, in line with the principle that he is uncomfortable and others can't be comfortable, Hong Chengchou quickly handed the post to Xu Guangqi and Mo Hua through Jinyiwei - the front of the broken steam locomotive is too slow, it must be fast, it must be faster, and it will be more.

This post can be handed over to the Royal Academy through Jinyiwei, which can already explain Emperor Chongzhen's attitude.

At this moment, the Royal Academy, which was already busy with business, was even more troublesome.

Also disturbing was Xia Ezhe, after putting down the wine glass in his hand, Xia Ezhe grinned and said: "Yidi, beasts too!" ”

nodded in agreement, and then looked at Xia Ezhe, who was grinning his teeth, before Meng Fanxing continued: "What Hou Ye said is extremely true. Those barbarians are not afraid of death, but it is also a headache. ”

Xia Ezhe first sneered, and then persuaded a glass of wine before he smiled and said: "Speaking of being afraid of death, Xia Mou has read some records of barbarians and found a rather interesting thing.

At the time of the Mengyuan Dynasty, those white slaves in the far north were originally canonized by the Mongol Great Khan, and they had to go to the Golden Horde every year to pay tribute.

If they are beaten, most of them will go home happily, and if there is no punishment, most of them will be scared to death. ”

Wang Haojie was quite puzzled: "These white slaves are all cheap ruffians, can't they?" ”

With another sneer, Xia Ezhecai continued: "I can't say it, if he is beaten, then even if he saves his life, as for how to exploit those so-called Grand Dukes and others after they go back, how will Meng Yuan care about him?"

If they don't pay attention to them, most of them will be killed, how can they not be afraid?

Now that my Da Mingde is in the Quartet, these barbarians have come to make up their minds again, no wonder Tian Khan once said that the Biyi Di is a cheap species, all of them are human faces and beast hearts, the strong are invaded, the weak are humble, do not serve kindness and righteousness, and especially use the ears of authority. ”

After glancing at each other, Meng Fanxing and the three of them came to a common conclusion: the thing in front of them is no longer salvageable, even if Bian Que is reborn Hua Tuo will not be able to save him in the next life, he is already terminally ill.

Whether it is for Meng Yuan or for those white slaves, one by one, regardless of the fact that he was originally a Mongolian.

Really should let those garbage in the Donglin Party see what true loyalty and patriotism are.

But just scolding a few barbarian white slaves or something is obviously not enough to show his loyalty, at least that's what Xia Ezhe thinks.

After putting down the wine glass in his hand and burping again, Xia Ezhe spoke: "Don't hide it from the three brothers, Ben Hou invited the three brothers over today, and there is really a matter to discuss." ”

After glancing at each other, Meng Fanxing spoke: "I don't know what Master Hou commands?" If the younger brother and others do it, they should be effective. ”

Nodding, Xia Ezhe said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but Ben Hou has taken a fancy to this fishing sea, and intends to enclose the fishing sea and build a summer palace for His Majesty." ”

It's not a question of whether there is a rescue, but this guy has gone completely crazy, in contrast, this guy is a Ming man, and the three of him have become scum.

The fishing sea is a good place, even if it is the season when the Ming Dynasty can heat up the dogs, you can still feel a trace of coolness in this fishing sea, and it is not like other places that can kill people.

Moreover, the water in the lake is still very clear, and there are a lot of fish in it, and many people who make a living from fishing and hunting always come to catch them.

But I won't use it in the future, this place belongs to the palace of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, where do you fall in love with it, you can fish it out, the royal land, idlers are forbidden to enter.

But it's not just you barbarians who know Your Majesty's kindness, we also miss Your Majesty's kindness - after glancing at each other again, Wang Haojie said, "Should it be." Since His Majesty's Imperial Pole, one has never built a palace manor, and the other has never built a mausoleum, and it is said that the queen's skirt is still exposed.

I didn't say it, Hou Ye's bill of lading agreed on behalf of the old Qin people, no matter whether it is someone to contribute, I will not let the old Qin people do it! ”

Liu Hang glanced at Wang Haojie and said, "Don't let a fart, the question now is what to fix with us." If you want bricks without bricks, if you want cement without cement, you will take wood to build a palace for Your Majesty? My face is Ming, are you going to throw that fishing into the sea? ”

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Haojie and the three of them set their eyes on Xia Ezhe again - Anyway, if you want to draw fishing to the sea to study in His Majesty's palace, we don't have any opinions.

After all, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, this is originally His Majesty's place, if you want to practice the palace for Your Majesty, we are supportive.

But now the question is also clear - who the would have to come to this place if he had the skills of the Ministry of Engineering and the Royal Academy? I've made a fortune just selling cement!

Xia Ezhe said with a smile: "Bricks, take the ground and burn it on the spot, just ask Your Majesty to ask a few craftsmen to come over." As for cement, it's a big deal that we transport it from Daming again and again, and it will always be enough to transport thousands of catties each time. ”

Then Meng Fanxing and the others all said yes, yes, yes, so it was decided, every time I went back to sell slaves, I would get the cement by the way, presumably there would be no problem.

As for the silver needed to buy cement, there must be a lot of problems, isn't there still Jiannu and white slaves, just catch them and do the work, anyway, if you are tired, you can catch them.

After thinking about it, Meng Fanxing simply said: "Since we want to do it, it is better to do it directly, when the time comes, Xiahou Ye can make a big contribution, and our brothers can also have a good background." ”

Wang Haojie hurriedly said: "There is something to say and nonsense, you have always had a lot of ghost ideas, what to do if you talk about it, you really suffocate a person if you can't go up or down like this." ”

Meng Fanxing didn't sell it, and said directly: "This matter is actually very simple, a few of us took advantage of the fact that the imperial army had not yet come, and first cleaned up a large area from Hara Children's Guard, to the difficult Hewei, the Chinese people, and Harawen Mountain."

And then write to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to send personnel to govern, isn't it also our brother's contribution to expanding the territory or countering the rebellion? ”

Liu Hang said with a smile: "Look, you are worthy of being a descendant of Mencius, this scholar is smart!" I don't think it's a problem to do this, you can do it. ”

Meng Fanxing stared at Liu Hang coldly and said with a smile: "I don't know which second fool was beaten by his wife, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to Liaodong!" ”

Liu Hang was stunned for a moment, his face had turned red, and he shouted, "So what? I have a wife, unlike you, who don't even have a mother-in-law! ”

Meng Fanxing, who was poked in the sore spot, was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "Come on, if we weren't in Nuergandusi now, the matchmaker who proposed the kiss would be able to step on the threshold of our house!" ”

Giving Meng Fanxing a thumbs up, Xia Ezhe said, "Why does the eldest husband have no wife? Brother Meng now has military merits, so he naturally does not worry about getting married. ”

Wang Haojie continued to ask: "Then are we going to divide our troops to fight?" Especially our Ming Dynasty does not have many people in Liaodong, and if we divide our troops, it is very easy to have turmoil. ”

Meng Fanxing said: "There is a way to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, what can you do if you don't divide the troops?" As long as we capture the most ferocious white slaves first, who will have an opinion on the rest? Who would dare to mention it? ”

Nodding, Xia Ezhe said: "Brother Meng is right, the barbarians have dared to coax recently, but they were still led by these beasts.

When our brothers completely clean up the white slaves, the rest are basically lambs to be treated, and it doesn't matter. ”

After pondering for a while, Wang Haojie said: "Then there is nothing to say, first clean up the barbarians in these places, and then stake the land and build a summer palace for Your Majesty!" ”

Xia Ezhe smiled and said: "The cultivation palace for Your Majesty is a cultivation palace, and our brothers can't lose anything, right?" It should be no problem to build a few gardens near His Majesty's palace for future generations, right? ”

Nodding, Meng Fanxing said, "What Master Hou said is true." It's just that a few of us don't have any identity, so we have to ask Hou Ye a lot? ”

Xia Ezhe picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, Brother Wang and Brother Liu, rest assured, this Hou will write to Your Majesty, ask for a favor with the three of you, and make a garden near the left side of the palace, Your Majesty should not refuse?" ”

Meng Fanxing snorted, but continued: "According to Meng's opinion, after cleaning up these barbarians, the Hou Ye can write to ask for the cultivation palace, and at the same time, he can also ask His Majesty to immigrate to Shibian and move some people from the Ming Dynasty to live here."

In such a big place, it is not a problem to get hundreds of thousands of people, and a few important towns can be built at a glance. ”

After giving Meng Fanxing a thumbs up again, Xia Ezhe spoke: "What Brother Meng said is extremely true, if it is an immigrant, then the Ming Dynasty will have to reopen the guard here, and our garden will not be obvious?" ”

Meng Fanxing continued: "Not only us, but also the adults in the court can come here to repair the garden, and such a large place is enough."

And the adults' garden is here, and they can still watch this place without troops guarding it? Aren't they afraid of Jiannu coming? ”

Xia Ezhe rubbed his hands and said: "The merit of opening up the territory, recovering the homeland, when the time comes, it is impossible for the three brothers to say that they will get a grandfather or something, but it is not too simple to get a high-grade general, or a viscount or baron, or something?" ”
