Maybe the veterans will have experience in dealing with this kind of harassment?

Zheng Ping asked the veterans for advice, but the veterans disappointed Zheng Ping.

All the veterans, led by Zhang Yunyi, believed that there was no better way than to increase the number and frequency of patrols.

But the Longmen caravan only had more than 200 veterans in total. After the caravan was set up in camp, the veterans were barely able to use it. Once the march began, the veterans simply could not care about the whole caravan.

In front of this kind of horse thief with fast horses and strong bows, the young team with poor riding skills can not catch the opponent at all.

The experience of veterans in the past is completely inapplicable now.

In the past, when the border army went out, they relied on a large number of night scouts to completely shield them within a radius of several miles.

At that time, around the army, there were hundreds of people shuttling and checking non-stop at night, and no horse thieves dared to touch the tiger whiskers of the army.

But this method is completely a benzene method that relies on the forcible pressure of a large number of people, and the Longmen caravan has no ability to implement it at all.

The current Longmen caravan, not to mention people, has hundreds of war horses just collected.

Just driving and grazing these horses involved a lot of energy on the caravan. That's because the thieves didn't go out of their way to attack the horses.

For some reason, the horse thief's attacks always avoided the direction of the horses, as if they were afraid of hurting the horses.

If the thieves really want to attack the horses, it will be difficult for the veterans to protect the horses.

Seeing that the veterans had no better way, Zheng Ping had no choice but to organize the teenagers to explore ways to fight the horse thieves on their own.

At the discussion meeting of the teenagers, the teenagers were also at a loss in the face of the harassing style of play of horse thieves.

The horse thieves' way of relying on the speed of the horse, not stopping, and coming and going like the wind, made the teenagers as infantry unable to find a way to crack it for a while.

The teenagers seemed to be back to the embarrassment they had when they first faced the archers.

At that time, it was because we couldn't reach each other with short hands, and now our muskets should be able to get each other, huh?

Looking at the silent teenagers in the group, Zheng Ping shouted helplessly: "Why don't you speak?" Can we only rely on the methods that His Highness the King has come up with? ”

"It's okay to talk about it, you can say anything, it doesn't matter how ridiculous the idea is, we just discuss it casually."

Looking at the young man with a blushing face, Zheng Ping further relieved everyone's thoughts.

We all know that it is not realistic to expect His Royal Highness King Xin, who is far away in the capital.

After a moment of silence, a teenager Ai Ai opened her mouth: "Then I'll talk about it first, don't laugh at ......." ”

Someone took the lead, and the teenagers began to open their brains, serious and improper, and dared to talk nonsense about any idea.

All the ideas that the teenagers came up with, no matter how unserious, were recorded by the captains of Zheng Ping's various groups.

After the records were recorded, Zheng Ping organized the teenagers to re-analyze them one by one.

All the teenagers kept exploring various ideas from all angles, and under the collision of countless ideas, a spark finally appeared.

After careful observation and calculation by the teenagers, the teenagers found that although the horse thieves were fast and strong, they still had to have a process of attacking.

In the case of daytime marching, for example, if a horse thief wants to accurately attack a moving caravan, he must rush to the vicinity of the caravan at high speed and fire a bow and arrow, and then return to his horse and escape.

The horse thief's movements are actually still riding and shooting. It's just that they suddenly rushed out from different angles, and before the caravan could react, they completed their cavalry and turned to flee.

The boys thought that if they could detect the horse thief's impact in advance, they could kill the horse thief with a musket.

How to warn?

The teenagers also came up with a local solution.

The horse thieves of the steppe will witness the terrifying growth of the boys.

Capital

Wu Qinghou drank a sip of bitter wine gloomily.

In the past, the jade liquid elixir-like wine is indeed so bitter in the mouth, and the bitter Wu Qinghou doesn't even have the desire to be angry.

Wu Qinghou couldn't have imagined that the imperial court's punishment of Qin Ming, who was guarding Tianjin, would be so fast. It was so fast that he didn't even have time to admit defeat to King Xin.

Everyone didn't expect things to change so quickly and weirdly.

Qin Ming, the garrison of Tianjin, seemed to be guilty of public anger.

Xin Wangfu impeached him, and the eunuchs of Wei Gonggong punished him to death; Wenchen was stepping on him, and Xungui also wanted him to give up the position of Tianjin garrison.

Even people in Tianjin came out to jointly accuse Qin Ming. It is said that Qin Ming killed the good and risked his merits, and in the name of suppressing bandits, he eradicated the entire village.

Within a few days, Qin Ming became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten.

What Qin Ming did in Tianjin, all the irregularities were turned over, and there were conclusive human and material evidence.

Things have developed to this point, Qin Ming's resignation is a sure thing, Wu Qinghou can't do anything to save him, at most he can keep Qin Ming from dying.

The disposition of Qin Ming was also issued very quickly by the imperial court.

Qin Ming was transferred back to the capital and demoted to three levels, and the Tianjin garrison was taken over by Han Feng.

Hearing that there was a result so quickly, Zhu Youzhen felt a little incredible.

Xinwangfu

"What's going on?" Zhu Youzhen frowned and asked Ruan Dacheng.

Zhu Youzhen did not like the rapid development of the situation. He wants to play the role of a vassal king who has been wronged, and he just wants to vent his anger for himself.

But Qin Ming lost too fast, and he lost too badly. This will push Zhu Youzhen directly to the cusp.

A vassal king with great influence on the imperial court will arouse the vigilance of a large number of courtiers, which will make the courtiers turn the spearhead of attack to Zhu Youzhen.

After all, the impeachment of Qin Ming was picked by Zhu Youzhen, and most people would attribute Qin Ming's experience to the head of King Xin's mansion.

This situation is not what Zhu Youzhen wants to see.

Zhu Youzhen also wants to maintain the situation of obscene development and making a lot of money in a muffled voice.

Now Zhu Youzhen's dream may be shattered.

"Your Highness," Ruan Dacheng muttered for a long time before speaking slowly.

"Your Highness, it's clear that someone is deliberately targeting us. But who is this person? Forgive the minister for his incompetence, and he can't find out who it is. ”

"You can't find who it is?" Zhu Youzhen's brows were twisted into a knot.

Seeing King Xin's dissatisfaction, Ruan Dacheng hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, when the junior minister found out that the form of the court was wrong, he had already begun to inquire around for news. ”

Looking at King Xin's face, Ruan Dacheng said cautiously: "Since the junior minister impeached Qin Ming on the orders of His Royal Highness, there have been several waves of people in the court who are following suit.

Wei Gonggong's people followed the impeachment, which is a very normal performance.

According to His Royal Highness, after all, this matter was proposed by Gonggong Wei, and they should be impeached. It's not normal not to follow.

The reaction of the court's court, Kedao Wenchen, to follow the trend is also normal.

These Kedao ministers still want to find something to impeach them, so that they can show their faces more in the court. And Qin Ming is a military minister, and the ministers of Kedao and Wenchen already look down on military ministers, and it is normal to step on Qin Ming more. ”

Ruan Dacheng's analysis, Zhu You listened very carefully.

Zhu Youzhen knew that his sense of smell for the imperial court was far from being able to catch up with a professional bureaucrat like Ruan Dacheng.

Professional things have to listen to professional talent analysis.
