Chapter Eighty-Nine: I Am a Principled Man

"Who's going to guard?"

Xiong Tingbi said very simply.

This is already the second day of the withdrawal of wild boar skin, and He Shixian arrived yesterday afternoon, after he had been entangled with the five thousand Jiannu cavalry led by Dai Shan in the area of Changyong Fort. This guy is indeed a fierce general, he has more than 1,000 Ding, and Jiannu is not afraid of the field, originally in history he was led out by the wild boar skin and then ambushed and surrounded, and died in the field. He is not a clever commander, but he is very capable of fighting, of course, he eats empty salaries and eats extremely fiercely, otherwise how can he raise more than a thousand elite families!

Daizen was never able to open Fort Changyong to get supplies during his attack.

It was this that ensured that the boar skins could not sustain the attack, otherwise the grain that Changyong Fort would not have had time to withdraw would have become the skin of the wild boar.

Xiong Tingbi arrived this morning.

He had been in the Tiger Skin Station before.

He Shixian crossed the Hunhe River to rescue Changyong Fort, Hu Erhan led 5,000 Jiannu to cross the river upstream to attack Fengji Fort, Zhao led the rescue army to defeat and was captured, because he was worried that Jiannu would break Fengji Fort, Xiong Tingbi had to personally lead the Ming army into Hupiyi, as Fengji Fort and He Shixian's backup on the west bank.

When he learned of the withdrawal of the wild boar skin, he rushed to the scene.

"I've got a choice!"

Yang Xin said.

At this time, the relationship between him and Xiong Tingbi has eased somewhat, after all, he really ended this year's war with victory for Xiong Tingbi, and then the wild boar skin will definitely not attack again, it can be said that Xiong Tingbi finally stabilized the situation in Liaodong after the Battle of Salhu. Of course, the more important point is that Yang Xin, the troublemaker, will soon leave his sight, and he doesn't have to watch this guy get angry anymore. But it was not that he drove Yang Xin away, nor that Yang Xin himself wanted to leave, but that Wanli summoned Yang Xin back with a holy decree, although Wanli actually didn't know about the Battle of Kaitie and the Battle of Shenyang when he issued the holy decree.

He was Yang Xin who was recalled because of the head of Eyidu.

Of course, this is the official statement.

In fact, after Tianqi learned the news, he couldn't wait to find his grandfather, use this as a reason to pardon Yang Xin's crimes, and then quickly recall this guy to prevent this treasure who could bring him a lot of good things from accidentally dying in Liaodong.

For Apocalypse, it doesn't matter whether Liaodong needs Yang Xin or not.

He needs Yang Xin is the most important thing.

The notes that Yang Xin left for him before leaving completely aroused the desire of the emperor's eldest grandson, and he was now like a primary school student who had just learned to play games, and he was extremely eager to see that this guy who had taught him badly would be able to come back and take him to continue to clear the level.

And Wanli, of course, is happy to meet this small request of his grandson.

And after experiencing the two fiascos of Salhu and Kaitie, Yang Xin, a heroic model like Yang Xin, who has sprung up, is also very suitable for hype, for example, when the head of Eyidu was sent to the capital, he appeared in the field of vision of the people of the capital with his helmet and armor and carrying the Qinglong Yanyue knife. Anyway, this is not in vain Wanli in the siege of the official to protect him, saying that Wanli did not expect that he would give himself such a big surprise, this is a loyal and patriotic example, let the world see, this is our Ming Dynasty loyal and righteous people......

Of course, Wanli may not really think about it that much.

He just coaxed his grandson to be happy.

"Who?"

Xiong Tingbi said.

"There's a guy named Mao Wenlong, do you know?"

Yang Xin said.

He really hadn't inquired about Mao Wenlong before.

"Sanyang is guarded, can't move!"

Xiong Tingbi said very simply.

The city of Sanyang is very important, even if we have to rely on it to block the Japanese army in the first afternoon.

"Then Zhao will teach, and then give him two subordinates, Huang Degong is a native of Kaiyuan, familiar with the situation there, Zhou Yuji is good at guarding, and has a good relationship with Ye Hebu, with Zhao Shujiao as the general soldier, Huang Degong and the two as deputies, let them guard Kaiyuan and Ye Hebu rely on each other."

Yang Xin said.

Zhao Shujiao's whole body is full of flesh wounds, and the broken leg is not a fracture, at most the bone is cracked, and it is not a big problem to raise a good month, as long as he does not get infected with this kind of injury, it is cold at this time, and this aspect is light, plus the disinfection is done well, and it has passed the initial dangerous period. Zhou Yuji went south with Delgrad before, and then left to find Xiong Tingbi alone, who had heard Yang Xin say before that he was directly incorporated into his own army, and he was also given a general official position. Zhou Yuji previously helped Jin Taiji defend Yehe City, which can be said to fully demonstrate his military talent, and Yehe's subordinates are very grateful to him, and he can act as a liaison between the two sides.

As for Huang Degong, the beheading has exceeded thirty levels so far, and such a feats can be said to be outstanding in the Ming army.

It is inevitable that he will continue to be promoted.

In fact, Xiong Tingbi was also surprised by the fierce generals that Yang Xin unearthed for him.

Yang Xin is not a fierce general, he is directly a pervert, but Cao Wenzhao, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji really surprised him.

"However, the military households north of Shenyang are exhausted, and the Kaiyuan garrison is useless if there are less than 10,000 garrisons, and the food and ammunition required by the 10,000 garrisons are transported north by land, how to solve the manpower required? What's more, the Jiannu cavalry is just outside the border wall, ready to enter the pass and plunder at any time, and in order to ensure transportation, I have to re-garrison along the line, where do I still have so many soldiers? ”

Xiong Tingbi said.

The key problem in rebuilding Kaiyuan is that there are no more former military households.

From Shenyang to the north, it is gone.

Even if the military households of Puhe and Yilu are driven back again, there is still no one from Yilu to Kaiyuan, and these military households used to guard the border wall of Liaodong, blocking the entry of the Jiannu cavalry, and at the same time responsible for military transportation to ensure the supply of materials for the Kaiyuan defenders, but now they are all gone.

Dead and running, and a large number of wild boar skins were captured as slaves.

It is not difficult to rebuild the plains.

It is enough to transfer 10,000 troops over, but then the 10,000 troops must have someone to transport materials and someone to protect the transportation line, then this is not just 10,000 troops can solve the problem, 20,000 is not necessarily enough, this is a 200-mile land transportation line. Similarly, if it is not for the military households, these people who protect the transportation line also need someone to transport materials, and the reconstruction of Kaiyuan City is not only to rebuild Kaiyuan City, but to rebuild this defense system with Kaiyuan as the core, a protruding 200 miles.

"Why don't you try water transportation?"

Yang Xin said.

"In the Sancha River to transport materials to the north, you can easily go straight to the north of Tieling, and then turn into the Qinghe River to go directly to Kaiyuan City, even if you go upstream, the stability of the Liao River is also very easy, and even the boat can be held up to Kaiyuan, how much does this transportation line want to transport?"

He went on to say.

"Right? Why not water transport? Back then, Taizu Ping Liaodong, military rations could be transported to Kaiyuan City along the line you said. ”

Xiong Tingbi said angrily.

Yang Xin waited with a pure face.

"You look at the map, is the Liao River in the side wall or outside the side wall? The boat can indeed go directly to Kaiyuan City from the Sancha River, more than two hundred years ago, there is still a wharf in Laomiwan in the west of Kaiyuan, but the Liaodong border wall has repaired the Liaohe River outside, and the six or seven hundred miles from the Sancha River to the north of the river are all passed through the pastoral area of Xiyu, do you think they will honestly let these things pass through without looting? ”

Xiong Tingbi said.

"It's true that the imperial court's transport ships can't, but my transport ships can!"

Yang Xin said.

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment.

"Xiong Jingluo, this problem is very easy to solve, I am responsible for setting up a transport team, and the imperial court will hand over the military transportation of Kaiyuan to me, and how much money will be given to me to transport a shipload of supplies, and if it can't be transported, I will be asked to lose money. If the Mongolians dare to rob me, they will rob me of my money, and I will go to the fried flowers and ask him to give me an explanation, and if he doesn't give me an explanation, then I will give him an explanation. In short, the court pays, and I am responsible for making the original supplies sufficient, if you want to do this, then I will find Oba Daiqing now, and tell him that I will take this business, and they will dare to rob my goods in the future......"

Yang Xin paused.

"He's seen how I killed Abatai, don't think I won't touch his tent in the middle of the night, let him see what it means to sneak into the night with the wind."

He went on to say.

Xiong Tingbi suddenly laughed.

"So you can get rich!"

He said.

"Xiong Jingluo, we are all understanding people, I am desperate to keep Shenyang, I have to collect some compensation, I am a Hejian person, why did I come here to protect Liaodong? Anyway, I can take off more than 50 arrows at most at a time, what am I for? If you want to say that I am trying to get rid of my crimes, one head of Yidu is enough, and the dead corpses of Abatai and Shenyang City are all on board. Your Majesty said that I only need to cut off ten Jiannu heads, but if I cut a few hundred, then this extra will be for you to do for nothing.

I've got to get some good.

How nice is that.

Kaiyuan City has been rebuilt, the horse market has also been reopened, and Ye Hebu must continue to rely on the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the horse market will be cut off, what will they eat? The barrier of Liaoshen is also there, and a large army is stuck there, as long as the wild boar skin dares to enter Fushun Pass, Zhao Shujiao will go out of Guangshun Pass and join forces with Ye Hebu to copy his hometown.

Of course, I also made some hard-earned money by the way.

It's a good thing for both public and private, the best of both worlds! ”

Yang Xin said with a righteous face.

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will not only be transporting the military supplies of Kaiyuan, can't your ship be loaded with other goods? What Yehebe needs, what Xilu needs, can't you load it on this ship? Even some contraband, I'm afraid it will be hidden in the grain transported to Kaiyuan, under the banner of transporting military supplies, just like those boats carrying goods on the canal, to transport all the things that the Western captives and Jurchens need to them, you are very shrewd in your calculations! ”

Xiong Tingbi sneered.

"Xiong Jingluo, I am a principled person, I will never do such a thing!"

Yang Xin patted his chest and said.

He can't look down on this little money!

He also has a big business.

"Xiong doesn't care, Xiong doesn't rely on the mutual market in Liaodong to make a living, but have you ever thought about those powerful families in Liaodong? You're taking food from them. ”

Xiong Tingbi said noncommittally.
