As soon as the letter was written, Fan Yongdou handed it to the housekeeper and said: "Send someone to Liaodong immediately, and hand it over to the family to be forwarded to the Great Khan!" ”

It's not that this has not been done, the butler immediately agreed, took the letter and immediately turned away.

However, before he arrived at the door, he heard Fan Yongdou explain to him: "At present, there is a shortage of food in Gyeonggi, and even the surrounding provinces have been bought out by several of us. These grains must not fall into the hands of the imperial court, and the emperor must remember it for a long time, and immediately notify several other families to come to the discussion! ”

When the butler heard this, he turned around and bowed in response, before going out.

In the lobby, only Fan Yongdou was left. A sneer appeared on his face, looking in the direction of Jingshi, and at the same time thinking in his heart: Only an obedient emperor is a good emperor, if you dare to mess around, I will dare to give you a problem. Just this food matter, it's up to you how you solve it!

Hmph, if there is no food, there will be more places of civil unrest. In this way, the emperor will inevitably be anxious, and he will not dare to deal with the generals with troops casually in the future, otherwise if there is a mutiny, the throne may be unstable.

It's good to have a mess in the northern provinces, so that Daikin can become stronger, can grab more things from Daming, and the business with Daikin can last longer.

At this time, Fan Yongdou had never thought that Jianyu could seize the world. What he cares more about is that Jianyu can't run out of money, only if Jianyu grabs more money, his business with Jianyu can be easier to do, and it will be more profitable.

He thought about it for a long time before he got up and went to the backyard, ready to rest after a hard day's work.

As soon as his wife saw him, she immediately asked with concern, "Master, has the niece and son-in-law of the slave family been found?" ”

Fan Yongdou was stunned when he heard this, and immediately remembered the missing Han Shengcai. Han Yi mentioned it in his letter before, but this time the letter is all military affairs, but it didn't mention whether Han Shengcai came back or not?

"There are a lot of things to do in Jingshi, and I can't take care of them for a while." Fan Yongdou replied a little disapprehantly, "But Madame reminded me to write a letter for my husband to go back to Jingshi to ask." ”

In fact, what he was thinking about was the Yongchang ticket number. I'm afraid this can't be opened, so I have to change the name and find a reliable backer, or find a few more.

Others don't know, but he knows that there is a mountain of gold here, and he can make money by sitting on it. Thinking about it this way, Fan Yongdou began to think about which people were the celebrities in front of the emperor.

The sky gradually got dark, and Sun Chengzong, who rushed back to Shanhaiguan, couldn't take a break, and gave the order to discuss the matter as soon as possible.

It didn't take long for the hall to fill up.

Sun Chengzong sat on the main seat, next to him, it was originally where Mao Yuanyi stood, and now there is a Jinyi guard lieutenant, and if you look closely, you can find that it is a woman, she is Liu Wang.

Today's Liu Wang's eyebrows have a little more heroism, or self-confidence, and he has completely lost the restraint he had when he was in Changli, even in the face of so many generals, it seems natural.

On the lower side of the main seat, there is another chair, where the governor of the Governor's Mansion sits on the great birthday of the Governor of the Governor's Mansion and the Governor of the Governor's Mansion. After settling down with his family affairs, he was going to go to Beijing to take up his post, and now he happened to be here.

Among the generals on the left, standing in the front were Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and their sons, and their subordinates, while the other column stood He Kegang, General Cao Wenzhao and others.

You can see from everyone's face that everyone is in a good mood.

As soon as Sun Chengzong saw that everyone had arrived, he said loudly: "The emperor has a will, and it will be ...... in a few days."

As soon as they heard this, everyone glanced at Liu Wang's family and knew that she had told the elder Ge Lao the content of the holy decree first.

“…… The Spring Festival should not be over, and each department selected and sent cavalry troops, with 100 people as a team, and took turns to inspect the grassland for 100 miles. If there is a caravan, it will be seized! ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the news, and some of them had their eyes rolling and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"In addition, there is an unconfirmed news that the slave chief Emperor Taiji is likely to send his son Haoge to meet the caravan, and the number of soldiers and horses he brings is about 1,000." When Sun Chengzong said this, he hesitated for a while, and finally said, "If you encounter it, withdraw to the customs immediately, don't fight with it!" ”

If you want to defeat this Jianyu cavalry, the Ming Dynasty needs at least about 2,000 elite cavalry troops; If you want to annihilate this cavalry army, you will need twice as many elites.

However, it doesn't make much sense to just defeat this team. Unless the elite of the Guanning army is exhausted, it makes sense to annihilate this cavalry army and capture or kill Haoge. But the news is not accurate, and if the army is used, it will be too cost-effective when the grain and grass are in short supply.

After pausing for a while, Sun Chengzong added: "But all armies are ready, once the news is confirmed, and the location of this Jianyu army is known, then the army will attack with thunder, and it must be annihilated!" ”

Listening to the news, except for Cao Wenzhao, who was a little excited, everyone else was not interested, and it was just customary to respond with fists clenched.

"In addition, there is another decree, the emperor has decided to form a new army......"

Hearing this, Zu Dashou couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. Thinking that the emperor really didn't talk about it casually, he really started to do it. When he heard it, he was even more surprised to say that which of the commanders' subordinates who were selected as the most in the new army would be knighted. Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Wu Sangui.

The others were also obviously more interested in the news, and they whispered about it.

After the meeting and after they returned home, Cao Bianjiao, who had not spoken, suddenly said to Cao Wenzhao: "Uncle, I want to go to the new army!" ”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, his brows furrowed, and he immediately said: "You are now the commander, if you go to the new army, you have to start all over again, do you know?" ”

"My nephew knows, but my nephew still wants to go!" Cao Bianjiao replied almost without hesitation.

"You ......" When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he seemed to hate iron and steel, and after relieving himself, he said to Cao Bianjiao seriously, "Do you really think that by drawing out the most elite soldiers, you can form a strong army?" Besides, no one knows how the new army will do it. According to his uncle's experience, the emperor is likely to have greater hopes and greater disappointments. In case the emperor is unrealistic, ignores the facts, and sends you out as the strongest elite to die, how can my uncle explain to your dead father? ”

Cao Bianjiao listened and was silent for a moment. He has been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knows that his uncle has a point. But he immediately remembered the humiliation of Wu Sangui and his slaves that day, and with the arrogance of his official position, the anger suddenly came out, and he clenched his fists and replied: "My nephew wants to fight him, otherwise even if my nephew is now the general, I don't know if I want to be promoted to the general soldier and I don't know that I want to be in the year of the monkey!" ”

Cao Wenzhao was stunned when he heard this, he himself was just a deputy general at the moment, and he didn't think that his nephew's target was the general soldier. With his understanding of Cao Bianjiao, after thinking about it for a while, he understood that his nephew was not convinced by Wu Sangui.

At the thought of this, he fell silent.
