Chapter 91: Conspiracy

The raging fire that ignited in the Sarhu Mountain, driven by the northwest wind, quickly swept forward and spread towards Hetuala.

As for whether it can be burned to ......

That's for sure.

With the level of fire extinguishing in this era, unless there is a sudden heavy rain, such forest fires will never stop until there is nothing to burn. Although Hetuara was protected by a city wall and would not cause much damage, the fire killed the animals in the forest and burned the nuts, which would still make Jiannu want to cry in the end. Even if the animals can't be burned, they will be driven farther away, which will eventually make it more difficult for Jiannu to find food.

In the end, hunger is the most effective weapon.

Finally, after enjoying the beautiful scenery outlined by the scattered snowflakes and the soaring flames, Xiong Tingbi and his party quickly embarked on the return journey back to Shenyang.

Of course, Yang Xin's return journey is farther.

After he returned to Shenyang, he officially made preparations for departure the next day, and then he had to return to the capital, as for Chen Yujie, of course, it was impossible to go back together, Yang Xin was a commoner, he was an official official, and Xiong Tingbi also gave him a performance to ask Wanli to promote him......

Straight up to the fifth grade.

"He wants me to go to Kaiyuan!"

Chen Yujie lamented with a sad face.

Xiong Tingbi's purpose is obvious, that is, to prepare for the rebuilding of Kaiyuan after the beginning of spring, and then throw him over as a soldier, and this position must be at least a five-rank judge. The Ming Dynasty used the civil and imperial forces, and after the reconstruction of the Kaiyuan, the total army was there, so that Zhao led the teaching, and it was normal for him to be promoted to the general army as a general, but it was the civil officials who really had the final say, since this was the case, it was enough to call Chen Yujie to go.

As for the seven-rank Taichang Temple's direct promotion to the fifth grade, it is not a big deal according to the judge.

Guarding Shenyang is his first achievement.

At least for the civilian officials, they would rather say that Chen Yujie, a doctor of Taichang Temple who inspected the defense of Shenyang on the order of Liaodong Jingluo, faced the sudden attack of the wild boar skin, commanded Ruoding to lead the army and people of the city to repel Jiannu in a bloody battle and beheaded more than 2,000 ranks, rather than say that Yang Xin kept Shenyang......

The latter can be piggybacked.

As for Li Ruzhen......

It's good that he doesn't keep making mistakes.

In short, to keep Shenyang's head work, you must be a civil servant, and the only civil servant in Shenyang City is Chen Yujie, this is the Acropolis, and there is no county order or anything like that. Li Ruzhen guarded Shenyang with the aid of Liao's general army, and there should indeed be a civilian such as Bingbei Dao, Jian Jun Dao and the like to watch him, but the problem is that no one has dared to come, and no one has dared to come after Xiong Tingbi has been appointed. As a result, Chen Yujie was stunned to find that since the Ming Dynasty started the war with Jiannu, the most beheaded victories were actually under his own strategy. It's a pity that he was just promoted a few months ago by Dr. Taichang Temple, and he was actually asked to continue to be promoted, and he was promoted to the rank of judge of the fifth grade.

It's a pity that his uncle has been messing around for decades, and he was just promoted to the fourth grade just a month ago.

Xu Guangqi is now Shao Zhan.

He wrote to Wanli before, asking the imperial court to organize and train a new army, which was affirmed by Wanli, and it is said that he was ready to let him be responsible for the formation and training of the new army in Tongzhou with Shaozhan Affairs.

But even so, Chen Yujie's promotion speed is still eye-popping......

"You can't leave me alone!"

He said pitifully.

"You're almost in the fifth grade, aren't you satisfied? Sun Chuanting was born as a Jinshi, and he is still a seven-grade county! ”

Yang Xin was stunned.

"I'd rather go to him to do a nine-grade inspection, Xiong Tingbi made it clear that he was bewitched by you, and wanted to restore Kaiyuan City, and then let me go to the army to prepare for the road, the next time the wild boar skin sent troops, the first thing must be to attack Kaiyuan! Even if Zhao Shujiao, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji can really fight, they can't stop the all-out onslaught of wild boar skins, the armies in Shenyang didn't save Ma Lin last time, do you think they will save me next time? Xiong Tingbi is unreliable, even if he is still in Liaodong, those generals may not be really obedient, not to mention that he may be transferred away one day, but I, the future Kaiyuan Army, will definitely not be transferred, give me a positive five products from a raw background, that is, buy my life and let me die in Kaiyuan. ”

Chen Yujie glared at him and said.

"That's a good thing!"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

"I can guarantee that you will not only be able to hold on to Kaiyuan, but also be able to make money."

He then said with a mysterious expression.

"Let's talk about how to keep it first, I don't lack money!"

Chen Yujie said.

"Don't you know a little bit about the European bastions? Then I'll give you a full set of fortress system, and then you go to Kaiyuan to build a fortress. Don't you know how to forge cannons? Then I'll give you better cannon casting technology, you have a fortress, a cannon, and someone who can fight, are you still afraid that you won't be able to defend Kaiyuan? ”

Yang Xin said.

"But how do you solve the logistics?"

Chen Yujie asked without hesitation.

"What's the most important thing about logistics?"

Yang Xin said.

"Silver!"

Chen Yujie said very simply.

"Yes, the most important thing in logistics is silver, as long as there is silver, the Mongols can send you cattle and sheep, the last time I went to Yehe City, do you know what I found on the road?"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

"You're not going to find Silver, are you?"

Chen Yujie said angrily.

"You guessed right, I found the Silver Mountain, and it is just west of Yehe City, less than twenty miles away from Yehe City, there is silver ore there, it can be determined that the mountain is a real silver mine, but Jintaiji definitely doesn't know how to smelt, but we understand! You go to Kaiyuan first to build the city, the wild boar skin will not be able to go out of the mountain at least next year, you control Kaiyuan, Ye Hebu is responsible for mining, and it will be transported to Kaiyuan for smelting, Jintaiji will do it, and he doesn't know how to smelt. Moreover, the vast majority of silver mines are associated with gold mines, which means that there are not only silver mountains but also gold mines, and the two of you will be responsible for mining and smelting in the future, and I will find a way to obtain the right to transport military supplies, and I will transport what you want from the customs. ”

Yang Xin said.

That's the big business he's planning.

Of course, it was a fool to find silver ore on the road, but it was a silver mine, and one of the most important silver mines in China, the Sipingshanmen Silver Mine, was located next to Yehe City......

Real aside.

It is only ten miles away from Yehe City.

The highest grade is two kilograms per ton, which means that one ton of the best ore can smelt more than fifty taels of silver. And the approximate location he also knew, the rest was only to be searched by the Sakai people, this is an open-pit mine, and it is also an open-pit mine on the mountain, which means that there must be exposed ore, and even the flash torrent of the Yehe River can be washed out. All that remains is to clean up the surface soil and then mine, from the Yehe River to Kaiyuan, you can go on a raft in summer, as long as you pick the best ore and transport it to Kaiyuan, Chen Yujie is in charge of smelting.

A ton of ore is up to fifty taels!

Even if it averages more than forty taels!

Jin Taiji only digs 1,000 tons of ore a year, which is also tens of thousands of taels of silver!

The men of their Yehebe don't have to do anything else!

Then they dug up, Chen Yu stepped up, and finally got the silver from Yang Xin's side to buy and buy, Jin Taiji wanted everything, and the wild boar skin next to him would be red-eyed, and he would keep trying to rob it, and Jin Taiji would wave the silver to buy the wild boar skin's men, and the war between the two sides would be endless. Moreover, Jin Taiji would not betray the Ming Dynasty, because silver was inedible, and when his population became miners, he had to rely on Yang Xin to transport him all the supplies he needed. What can he do if he betrays the Ming Dynasty, and others can't give him these, whether it is a wild boar skin or a Mongol, it is impossible to provide him with food, will he gnaw silver after betraying the Ming Dynasty?

He could only be tied to the chariot of the Great Ming.

He has money.

But if he has money, he has to have a place to spend it.

There is no place to spend money, at most it brings him a little satisfaction, and purchasing all kinds of luxury goods from Daming can make him truly rich.

"But in that case, someone else will rob it."

Chen Yujie said cautiously.

Needless to say, who he was referring to.

At that time, his position will be coveted by everyone, and everyone will no longer regard it as death.

"Then it's up to us!"

Yang Xin said.

Whoever grabs it will fight!

If everything remains unchanged next year, Apocalypse will come to power at the age of 9,000 after he ascends the throne, and he is also a trusted person of Apocalypse now, as long as he can make Apocalypse profit, he will not be stupid enough to give this source of wealth to others. What's more, if others want to covet it, they have to have that ability, as long as Zhao Shujiao and these people are controlled, others will not agree to rob them first. If a civil official wants to send someone to pick peaches, be careful not to go to Kaiyuan, and you will have to encounter Jiannu being shot to death by random arrows on the way.

"It's a lot to think about!"

Chen Yujie said with satisfaction.

"In short, if Xiong Tingbi really wants to rebuild Kaiyuan in the spring of next year, and use you as Kaiyuan's military preparation to garrison there, then you can go, and then build a fortress there, and the bricks of the original Kaiyuan City can be used. At the same time, I will cooperate with Jintaiji and prospect at the approximate location I have given, and I will go back to find a way to get the right to transport munitions, and set up a warehouse in Niuzhuang to recruit shipwrights to purchase ships suitable for sailing on the Liao River. I will lead the first transport ships north, and then negotiate with the Mongols for the future, so that the Oba Daiqing brothers will not dare to rob my ship, so that this transport line can be established.

I guess by next fall, we'll be able to get everything straight. ”

Yang Xin said.

As long as this plan really works, then the focus of the expansion of wild boar skins will be shifted to the Yehebu.

O Silver Mountain!

The wild boar skin would rather not rob Liao Shen first, but also control this first.

Silver is also his favorite.

Then in order to keep his silver mountain, Jin Taiji could only choose to fight him to the end, so the Yehe tribe and the Jianzhou tribe could not die, and this was not a grudge between the two, but completely became a war between the Yehe clan who relied on the silver mountain to have no worries about food and clothing, and the whole clan of Jianzhou who starved to the point of green eyes in the famine.
