Chapter 419: Harmony

In the middle of winter, the communication between the east and west forts of the Taal River is almost cut off unless there is a very urgent matter.

It was no joke that the heavy snow outside the Guanxi closed the road in winter, but in Dongbao, that is, on the side near the settlement of the reclamation manor, Zhang Liang Tiedan and Liu Shisan began to make busy preparations, and the news of the begging of the Mongol tribes that had fled to the west reached them through rather backward means of transmission.

The final handling will not be decided until Jiang Feng's instructions come back, but Jiang Feng's style of acting for so many years, everyone has also found some ways, and the location of the Rakshasa State and the Lost Bil Khanate mentioned by the Mongols is like a desolate land for Guanwai.

However, there is a vast land there, and our own governor will not let it go, mobilize and store food, draw in the regimental training, and there are also special people to publicize among the guards who stay behind, these guards belong to the military management, but whether to follow the battle or not is voluntary (of course, it means that whether to participate in a certain battle or not, after joining the sequence, it is equivalent to the regular army, and it is not allowed to decide without authorization).

Tie Dan was there to prepare a cart of grain and grass, although it was still frozen for thousands of miles after the Spring Festival outside the Guan, but the messenger still took the plough on the road and went to Beijing as soon as possible.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the various tribes outside the Guan, including the Mongols and Jurchens and other foreign races surrendered to the Ming Dynasty have a variety of ways to deal with it, and the one with the inside is the safest, these people were given fields, gave up grazing and cultivated in the fields, which is equivalent to becoming Han people.

There are also some to show surrender, perhaps to accept the title of the Ming Dynasty, this is the most unsafe thing, as long as it is outside the border wall, the people on horseback come and go freely, when you are willing to surrender, you are considered a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and when you are not willing to surrender, you will enter the fortress and rob.

However, the 20,000 Mongols led by the two Wanhu Nayan did not have such a good thing, and the people who dealt with them were not those Ming officials who paid attention to the dignity of the Celestial Empire, but the Jiang family army who paid attention to strength and practical benefits everywhere, and the 20,000 Mongols who belonged to them came to the edge of the grassland controlled by Jiang Feng in November.

Under the obstruction of the garrison and the guards, they can only be scattered on the periphery, and the commander of Xibao is allowed to sell them necessities, and in the case of paying, everything can only be contained and settled after Jiang Feng's order is returned, at this time the grassland is already snowing heavily, fortunately, the migration of the Mongols has always been with a large number of livestock, and there is no problem in withstanding this winter, but after this, the vitality will definitely be greatly damaged.

Fortunately, after Jiang Feng's previous attacks, there was no longer any formed force in the vast area between the Great Wall and Kulun, and there was still enough space to settle the 20,000 herdsmen.

On the border between the Obir Khanate and Russia, the Cossack colonial contingent armed with arquebuses and light artillery fought only bows and arrows and swords and guns, and the army of the Obir Khan was defeated step by step, although the Obir Khan also wanted to recover the 20,000 men who had returned to the south, but now it had exhausted all his strength to resist the continuous invasion of the Russians, and he could not draw any manpower at all.

A year ago, that is, in the winter of the seventeenth year of Jiajing, the Roganov family, which was adjacent to the Obir Khanate, received an order from the Tsar that the prosperity of the East was not only on the sea, but also on the road, and I needed my courtiers to open this golden road for me.

The gap between firearms and cold weapons has been widening and widening, in the Inca Empire in South America, the scene of hundreds of Spanish soldiers defeating tens of thousands of Inca soldiers will not appear in the steppe, but the essence of the difference is not very much, Cossack and Slavic serfs composed of a team, often three or four hundred people can defeat more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry, fortunately, Count Roganov, who is located in the remote area of Russia, can gather not many Cossack freemen. The Obir Khanate can still be maintained here with great difficulty, but it is only maintained.

Although Russia was still a third-rate country in Europe at this time, it was still defeated by Poland in the West, and even Moscow was captured several times, it seems that he still has a lot of cheap money to make in the East.

Jiang Feng has a store in Tianjin Wei, which is a relay station that collects intelligence documents from outside the customs and Huazhou and passes them to him.

Now Jiang Feng didn't know that there was such a matter outside the gate waiting for his approval and decision, and at this time he was listening to his subordinates in the warm room, and the stalkers of Chase Money Village could be regarded as normal business competition, although it was also life-and-death.

But the spies sent by Sima Tai, the head of the household, were beyond everyone's expectations, and several guards had already persuaded Jiang Feng not to continue to act in Daming, but the person who was watching was not dead, especially when a few knives were on his neck, all of them said that they were surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Xiaosan, and they were working in the house of the head of the household

A person in a high position like Sima Tai instructed the people below to do things, of course, he would not explain the specific reasons, and he could not ask anything else.

After asking, the guards just said to him:

"Today, we didn't find your stalking, do you understand?"

As soon as the spy heard that there was a possibility of letting him go, he thought that maybe the other party didn't want to settle the matter, so he immediately nodded and agreed again and again, and after the spy went out, Chen Dahu's cronies and Jiang Feng's subordinates were staring at him from a distance.

I was splashed with a few basins of cold water, and in such a cold weather, I naturally didn't dare to stay outside longer, so I found a clothing store and changed into dry clothes, and just turned back. He has some ability to follow others, but he didn't expect to be followed by others, presumably it was the matter of being put back, which made him feel that the other party might be afraid of the household servant, which is not surprising, although the Sanjiang Commercial Bank is also a well-known business in Beijing, and when you meet the household servant who happens to be in charge of them, you have to be careful.

He followed him back to the chamberlain's house, and saw the man come out, and sell some snacks in the street, and went to the front of the house, where a cheerful child came out to greet him, followed by a woman.

Several of Chen Dahu's cronies did not go directly to the alarm, but went to the neighbors to inquire, this spy is not called Zhang Xiaosan, called Li Liang, who used to be an errand in Jinyiwei Town, and lost his errand a year ago, but after idle time, I don't know that I got the money there.

There is an old lady in the family, a wife and children, and he is called a filial child on weekdays, although he has a reputation as a brocade guard, everyone's impression of him is also very good.

Hearing the words of several of Chen Dahu's cronies, Jiang Feng's guards sold a few snacks on the street corner, knocked on the door of Li Liang's house with a smile, and after seeing a few guests, Li Liang's face suddenly turned pale, and their mother came to ask, he could only smile and say, These are all my colleagues, come to sit at home today.

was also complained by his wife and wife, saying that a colleague came to the house to do it, why didn't he say hello early, and the family didn't prepare anything.

Li Liang, whose face recovered, could only complain to a few colleagues with a forced smile, why didn't he say hello, and then sent his family members to the street to buy vegetables to prepare, the old lady and wife went out with the children, and one of the several guards followed out to help with a friendly face.

As soon as the family members went out, Li Liang knelt down for Jiang Feng's guards, kowtowed again and again, and said in a loud voice:

"I can do anything, it's just none of my family's business."

At this time, he naturally knew everything, but he couldn't ask anything new, obviously Li Liang's concealment just wanted not to involve his own family, about the reason why Sima Tai, the head of the household department, sent him to follow, he came to a conclusion based on his professional knowledge in Jinyiwei in the past.

Sima Shilang may covet the industry of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, so now it is necessary to find the small mistakes of the proprietor of Sanjiang Commercial Bank.

Now Wenchen has such rights, and the desire to be greedy for money and profit is also very heavy, but they still have a so-called 'clear name', if someone catches the handle, it is evidence of being attacked by the enemy.

It seems that this is the only thing that can be asked, Jiang Feng's guards do not waste time here, leaving ten taels of silver as compensation for disturbance, and at the same time, leaving one person to rent a house nearby, and live here, followed by two of Chen Dahu's cronies.

Li Liang smiled bitterly in his heart, but his attitude became more and more respectful, the other party's things were done without leakage, looking at this, I was afraid that I couldn't leave if I wanted to go at night, and at the same time I was secretly frightened, the other party's kind of style, there would be the owner of a commercial house, such a shrewd and capable subordinate, and it could also make the forbidden army of the Beijing division be mobilized, even if it was the general of Liaozhen, there were a few cronies around him who could fight the sky.

Who is the owner of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, but Li Liang still has some other ideas in his heart, he will throw ten taels of silver to himself, and give Sima Tai a year, that is, he will get eight taels of silver every month, although these eight taels are already more than he earns as an errand.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Jiang Feng nodded and said:

"This is a filial son!"

The subordinates were stunned for a moment, thinking that the adults actually praised it, and Jiang Feng then said:

"The climate in Huazhou is warm, which is just suitable for the elderly to care for the elderly and children to grow up, you can arrange it and take his wife and family to Huazhou, which can be regarded as a ...... of our hearts."
