Han Lin is not very interested in the imperial examination, and prefers to learn from the world, and does not attach importance to Liu Zhilun's Shujishi background, and after a little thought, he said: "The situation in Fengzhou is complicated, and it is difficult to copy the practice of the Guannai, so you don't have to worry about everything. ”

Liu Zhilun was very disappointed and was about to refute, Han Lin continued: "Our dynasty implements the use of literature to control the military, which is also the custom of the previous dynasties, but since the Jingtai Dynasty's 'change of seizing the door', it has gone crazy, and the civil servants regard the military generals as slaves arbitrarily driven, beating, scolding and insulting are commonplace, and they are self-righteous when they read a few military books, and they command indiscriminately on the battlefield, so that the officers and troops have been defeated repeatedly, so this method of the Ming Dynasty is not advisable. However, there are also drawbacks in the same ranks of Fengzhou's civil and military affairs, and all the military officials in the past dynasties have been involved in government affairs, which is not a harbinger of great disaster, and must be taken as a warning! Du Wenhuan is a different kind of military generals in the Ming Dynasty, resisting Wenchen is commonplace, Li Hanmin is here, you can still suppress him, Li Hanmin has not come back for more than a year, he can't bear it, on the surface it is aimed at the governor, but in fact, he regards the authority of the Great Commander's Mansion, you should think about it! ”

Everyone fell into thought, and after a while, Li Fugui said self-deprecatingly: "Fengzhou implements a policy of checks and balances, but we only pay attention to the outside, but ignore the internal changes, but now it's too late to correct, it seems that I am going to Ordos to accompany the Hanmin for the New Year." ”

"Yushan, you have a deep friendship with Lao Shuai, go talk to him, and clearly tell him that if Fengzhou wants to maintain peace and stability for a long time, the authority of the Great Commander's Mansion must not be shaken." Ortai patted Li Huai's shoulder, and then said solemnly to Liu Zhilun, "Lord Liu, we all want to maintain the stability of Fengzhou, there are some things that don't have to be too careful, take a long-term view, and everything will be solved in ten or twenty years." ”

Liu Zhilun and Li Huai nodded, but their faces were not good-looking.

The meeting was held as usual the next day, and after discussing some arrangements for next year, Li Huai suddenly announced two decisions: The Titang Division will be separated from the Zanhua Military Affairs Office with immediate effect, and will be directly subordinate to the Prime Minister's Administrative Office in the future, and will also approve the formation of a cavalry battalion and an infantry battalion in the east and west of the two platforms.

Mr. Du remained silent at the day's meeting.

The situation in Shenshuitan and Ordos is unexpectedly good, the water conservancy project is progressing smoothly, business is booming, and the most feared famine has not appeared - Li Yu felt that this place might be suitable for growing potatoes, and without much labor, he easily harvested millions of catties of potatoes, coupled with the support of Fengzhou and the delivery of grain from Guannei, the people still have food to eat, at least they will not starve to death.

As long as someone pays money, even if it is illegal sulfur nitrate, illegal salt, weapons, and war horses, it can be sold as is, and it doesn't matter who it goes into. Under the manipulation of the old king, the smuggling activities in Ordos became more and more rampant, there were smugglers everywhere inside and outside the border wall of Yulin, and Zhenbeitai almost became a smuggling den, and the border army, local officials, and gentry of Yulin Town were also involved - after the two towns of Datong and SX, Yulin Town also fell under the attack of silver bullets, and the speed of the fall seemed to be faster.

Looking at the big old king running around the side wall and outside, his body gradually began to lose weight, Li Yu was also distressed, this is the huge greed of the Ming Kingdom, and it is clearly a good official who is diligent in serving the people - this example must not have an accident, in order to avoid the nosy Ming officials from arresting this wanted criminal, Li Yu specially sent Gao Heizi and He Dashui to take a team of flying tigers to be his bodyguards. The eldest king was even more proud, patted his chest and assured Li Yu that as long as he was there, he would definitely ensure that the people of Ordos would have something to eat.

The performance of the Lingzhou Salt Division was also touching, and Director Liu quietly went to Shenshuitan and asked for permission to contribute more to the people of Ordos - Director Liu was addicted to the private salt business, and set his sights on Alxa outside the NX border, where there were more and bigger salt ponds, and the quality was also better, and he felt sorry for himself if he didn't grasp it.

"Dashuai, we are willing to pay tithes, and we can also divide another 20% of the dividends to Guihua Town, on the condition that you send troops to protect us, whether it is the Han or the Ming official army, who will drive away whom, if the court pursues, you must also allow us to take refuge in the customs and protect our private property." Director Liu was afraid that Li Yu would not agree, so he continued to throw out the bait, "We can also help you buy grain from the south, and the money will be advanced by us first, and then deducted from the dividends, you only need to send someone to protect the grain through Yansui." ”

Li Yu sighed in his heart, the officials and soldiers are still timid to go out of the side wall, but a group of civilian officials dare to go deep into the Alxa sandy land hundreds of miles away to get salt, who said that there are no good men in the Ming Dynasty, isn't it in front of you! Fools don't do this business, deal!

The two sides hit it off, and Zhentu led 500 cavalry as escorts, and Liu's big business was opened. This group of armed salt dealers suddenly broke into the sparsely populated Alxa, and the local herdsmen were powerless to resist, so they were caught and beaten and kicked first, and then they accidentally got food and clothing, and honestly became their laborers, and the boiled salt was smuggled into NX Town nearby, and then the Lingzhou Salt Division attached salt citations and salt tickets, which became official salt to make money easily. The security problem is also easy to solve, the nearby horse thieves can't afford to provoke them, the officers and soldiers of NX Town are trying their best to deal with the Chahar people, and they will not think of going out of the customs to catch the salt dealers, but the Chahar people have some blood - Bangtu ran to his brother and sent a hundred stone of grain and 20,000 catties of potatoes, claiming that he wanted to build a transit base in Alxa, so that he could send him money and grain in the future. Chahar Khan's tears are about to fall, what is the family, the eldest brother-in-law and younger brother have not forgotten him, Chahar Khan was encouraged, turned his face and fucked Ma Shilong again, until he left the NX border, he never touched the salt pans of Alxa.

Li Yu originally thought that it would take some trouble to digest nearly 40,000 Ordos people, but he didn't expect that the common people were very obedient, they would do whatever they were told to do, and they would not complain when they were hungry, and they would kowtow to thank them for food. Li Yu distributed the captured cattle to them and declared them free people, and the common people were frightened and wept, and fell to their knees and begged Li Yu to be their master.

Lama Aung Tung explained that the tribes on the grassland are fighting back and forth, and whoever wins the population will belong to whom, and it is common for the common people to change their masters, they work hard for their masters, and the masters also have to feed them, so it doesn't matter whose slaves they are, the most feared thing is that there is no master to care. Bao Rongge also praised his kindred, the Ordos people are the most honest, as long as you recognize you as the master, you can beat and scold them at will, take away their belongings, sleep with their women, at most give them a smile, what a good common people, since the great commander can drive away their masters, that is the strongest, of course they should be accepted as slaves, otherwise how can they live!

Li Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he kind of understood why Ortai used to be able to control the people by drawing the ground as a prison, but Lama Aungton and Bao Jung couldn't explain it clearly-since the people were obedient and hardworking, why was Ordos so poor and weak? Li Yu was finally forced to agree to be the master, and the common people were willing to stand up and weep bitterly to take away the livestock that had been distributed to them.

Du Hongtai is very happy, every time he sees Li Yu, he praises the Ordos people for their special ability to endure hardships and dedication, and they don't care about remuneration and hard work, so it is difficult to find such docile people with lanterns. But after just over a month, he began to complain that these people are indeed very obedient, but they don't have long brains, someone has to make decisions for them, and they can't do a good job if no one takes care of them.

Li Yu is also having a headache, the Tumut people in Fengzhou have finally accepted a little sinicization, and they can find out some people who have read and are knowledgeable, but the people here are all illiterate, they will only work obediently, and they can't do it if they want to promote a few people to be officials, he regrets a little that he shouldn't have driven all the nobles away, and there may be a few pieces of material in those guys. Li Yu had no choice but to focus on the lama of Ordos, under his repeated persuasion, Lama Ang Dun agreed to temporarily act as the agent of Chahan Nao'er Wei to judge the matter, with this respected lama as an example, and then some lamas served as officials at all levels of the guard, Chahan Nao'er Wei's frame was finally set up, but there were some lamas mixed among the officials, which always made people look awkward.

At this time, the Chahan Naoerwei had already entered the winter training - Du Hongtai was reluctant to let others eat his grain in vain, so he copied the method of Fengzhou to Ordos, regardless of whether men, women, and children wanted to eat, they had to participate in public service or military training. Li Yu also felt that the common people were a bit honest and a bit of a wretch, such people couldn't pull the battlefield, so he told Bao Rongge and Feng Shujie that they couldn't do anything else in winter, so they would train the queue, shoot arrows, and use guns, and they should practice hard, and if they don't have long brains, they will be beaten with sticks, so they have to train their blood.

When the Lama of Erji did not find Li Yu in commanding the envoy, he saw Lama Angton sitting leisurely in the official room drinking tea, and he was immediately dissatisfied, and criticized the Lama of Ordos for running to become an official. Lama Angtun felt very aggrieved and complained that Li Yu had indiscriminately driven away the nobles, so that they could not recite the scriptures and practice the Dharma, but went to meddle with worldly affairs.

Outside the courtyard where Li Yu lived, a group of children were playing, and when Xiao Li Jin saw the old lama, he shouted "Old Ancestor" and threw himself into his arms - Xiao Li Jin is still the great-nephew grandson of the Xuerji Lama, this child is smart and clever, and his mouth is very sweet, he has always been loved by the old lama, and he actually came for Li Jin this time.

Last autumn, the Qierji Lama went to Karaqin and the Xilamulun River, nominally to preach the scriptures and spread the Dharma, but in fact to contact the local Yellow Lama - the evil deeds of the Jin army in burning Kuku and Tun and extorting the Silver Buddha Temple completely angered him, and he could not swallow this breath without severely punishing the robbers. The local lamas also have grievances against the Jin State, when Chahar Khan supported the Red Sect forces to suppress them in every way, they also secretly colluded with the Jin State to fight back, and finally used the power of the Jin army to drive away Chahar Khan, but they did not get much benefit, the Jin State valued and attracted the powerful nobles, the Yellow Sect was superficially respected, in fact, the lamas were strictly restricted from meddling in the world, the power of the Yellow Sect was not restored, but because the Jin State continued to requisition the young and strong of the temple, the livestock and weakened, the lamas had a feeling of being abandoned.

Along the way, the Lama repeatedly convened meetings of the lamas, denounced the sins committed by the Jin army during its invasion of the west, described him as a shamanic thug who should go down to hell and never be reborn, and praised Fengzhou's great victories in Kuku and Tun for bringing hope back to the grasslands. The instigation of the old lama aroused the resentment of the lamas against the Jin State, and they looked down on Zhu Shen who came out of the mountains and forests from the bottom of their bones, and they were forced to submit to the Jin State, and more and more people responded to the old lama. This summer, the old lama held **** on the side of the Xilamulun River, thousands of people rushed to listen to his lectures, the old lama reiterated to everyone that Humbaturu Li Yu of Tumut is indeed the reincarnation of Altan Khan, Dayan Khan's soul possession, and according to his own research, Li Yu's mother is also a Taiji's daughter, so Li Yu is not only the son-in-law of the golden family, but also has the blood of the golden family, and is fully qualified to take on the important task of unifying Mongolia. Everyone couldn't help cheering, the Mongolian tribes of the outer domains were beaten by Li Yu more than once, and they became more and more ruthless each time, but the more they were beaten, the more they believed that Li Yu was by no means a pariah and should have a noble bloodline, and with such a person, Mongolia's future road was bright.

The trip was a great success, and he quietly left the flame of rebellion in the Mongol vassals of the Jin Kingdom, but he also heard the bad news that Maidalinomenhan, who had fled to Khalkha, had been seriously ill and bedridden a few years earlier, and was probably already dead. This news is too shocking, since the untimely death of the fourth ******** Lama, the Tibetan Yellow Lama did not have the consent of the Mongolian Lama, determined the reincarnation of the spirit child, and supported the fifth ******** Lama, the Mongolian Lama did not accept this, did not recognize, and instead regarded Maidali as the leader of the Yellow Sect, if Maidali died, the Mongolian Yellow Sect will be leaderless. The opinion of the lamas was that the honorific title of Nomenhan should be bestowed on the Lama Urji, who was a highly respected man and a close associate of Maidali, and was fully qualified to serve as the leader of the Yellow Sect.

For the sake of the future of the Yellow Sect, the top priority is to select the heir of Maidali, and the Meidai Zhao and Silver Buddha Monastery in Tumut are the places where Maidali has been sitting and preaching for a long time, and his soul is most likely to return to the Tumut grassland, and the lamas have understood it and entrusted him to find a new Nomenhan. After accepting the commission, the Lama rushed back, thinking about the matter all the way - the noble lamas in the Mongolian steppe have always been served by the children of noble families, but now they can't be counted on, they can make sure that they are enough to give birth to reincarnated spirit children? Qiuerji couldn't help but think of his own family, Zhuoliktu was he watched grow up, smart and cute, and he also had a very strong father, he didn't dare to be Nomenhan, he figured out this, the Qiuerji Lama was busy with teaching affairs in naturalization, and then ran to Ordos, Chahar Khan didn't pay attention to that little thing at all, that person is almost like a dead man.

Li Jin dragged the Qierji Lama into his yard, Wulan was startled, and the old lama appeared in front of him without even saying hello, something must have happened. The old lama smiled and waved his hand and said that it was okay, he just missed the children, and as he spoke, he sat down with Lama Angton, teasing Li Jin and the little lark to play, Wulan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent someone to find Li Yu.

These days, Batu is also in Shenshuitan, with him to deal with government affairs, Li Yu devotes himself to training, the soldiers who came this time are too stupid, and they don't worry if they don't stare at it - the Ordos men who were newly incorporated into the guard station used to belong to their own tribes, and they were good at robbing their masters, and they had never seen formal training, and they were dizzy when there were many people, and they couldn't even distinguish between front and back, left and right, let alone lined up. It was not easy to train this kind of rabble into an army, and the garrison was not manpowered, and some veterans were invited from Yansui Town to help increase the intensity of military training.

"Stupid, I can't tell the difference between left and right, how many times have I taught you, and then I will be wrongly beaten with a military stick!"

"Listen to the rhythm of the whistle, you have to be ruthless and accurate when you go out of the spear, you are stupid, you can't learn it!"

"You're blind, raise your arms flat and raise your fingers to shoot arrows, do you understand, I'll beat you to death!"

……

The sound of veterans beating and scolding continued to be heard on the school military field, Li Yu looked at it and shook his head, beckoning to an officer wearing a Ming army uniform, who was rolling up his sleeves and beating people with sticks, and several unlucky guys were beaten to the ground and cried and howled.

"Brother Yuzi, what are you looking for me? Don't worry, I'm a veteran, I know how to beat people, and I'm a little ruthless, but I can't beat bad people. The officer ran over wiping his sweat.

"Tingjie, you must also pay attention to beating people, you can only hit the left buttocks, you are not allowed to beat in other places, you can remember the left and right after a few more beatings, and each person practices the spear 500 times a day, and if the practice is not finished, he will not be given food." Li Yu said with a straight face.

"Brother Yuzi, you still have a way, just do it." Liu Tingjie, the capital of Yulin Town, agreed with a smile, this guy is a neighbor of Uncle Qin's house in Yulin, and he insisted that when he was a child, he and Li Yu, Qin Hu, Ma Danian and a group of people touched fish in the Yuxi River, and opened his mouth and closed his mouth "Brother Yuzi".

Li Yu waved his hand, strode to the front of the team and shouted to the Ordos people: "You have sweated a lot in the past few days, and you have been beaten a lot, I see that there is still anger in your eyes, this is very good, to be a soldier is to have a little anger, but I tell you, don't resent the officials and veterans, they are for your good, whoever goes to the battlefield with a faster and more ruthless hand can survive, otherwise you will die in vain." Remember, when a soldier goes to the battlefield is to live to get military merits, the Fengzhou Army is not your previous tribe, here is not divided into high and low according to the military merits reward, if you want to earn a family business for yourself, give me hard practice, play hard to practice, if you don't want to practice, you can get out of the house early, the Fengzhou Army does not leave a nest of waste, tell me, do you still want to practice? ”

"I want to practice." There was a feeble response from the crowd.

"Be louder, I don't want to see you guys." Li Yu shouted loudly.

"Willing to play for Toyosu!" The Ordos people mustered up all their strength and shouted in unison.
