"It's really out of my power." Zhang Han finally sighed and said: "To recover the Western Regions, not only must there be a large number of cavalry and infantry, but also a large number of qualified officials, and financial and material resources are also needed to build more castles, and more wealth to buy their civil forces. It's still too early. ”

Li Shenming nodded slightly, what he was most worried about was that Zhang Han was diluted, if he really went to run the Western Regions as early as he announced before, it would definitely be a quagmire, and he would accidentally fall into it.

The main reason for Heyusheng's achievements in the steppe is that he has encountered the weakest period of Tumut Mongolia, which is actually the weakest period of the entire steppe Mongolia.

There are many reasons, the most important of which is that the war with the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years has exhausted the wealth of the Mongols, and there has been a long period of peace after the opening of the city, which has made the right-wing Mongolians such as Tumut weaker and weaker than the left. Then there is Lamaism, whether it is Red Religion or Yellow Religion, which has made the blood of the Mongols wear down, and instead of fighting in this life, it is better to hope for the next life, their wealth and flesh are exhausted, and what else to fight?

"The general trend is so ......" Zhang Han muttered: "If we follow the general trend, things will be much easier, and if we go against the trend, things will be much more difficult to do." But there are some things, you still have to persevere, if you can follow the trend of everything, there will be nothing difficult to do in this world! ”

……

Yang Liu's slender palm was stretched out above her head, and she felt that her palm was cold, a smile appeared on her face, and she turned to the people in the carriage: "It's snowing, it's snowflakes." ”

"It's snowing." Yu Niang stretched half of her body out of the carriage like a child, staring out with her eyes.

Outside the carriage is an endless grassland scene, everywhere is wild grass, originally the herdsmen will cut a large amount of grass, grass to prepare the herd for winter, but after two consecutive years of war, many pastures were abandoned, or changed to farming areas, but for a while has not been reclaimed, so all the way over, quite a lot of barren pastures, wild grass withered yellow, grow to more than half a person high, the grass is hidden in the herd, whether it is a yellow sheep or wolves are many, there will be wild donkeys, wild camels, wild horses and other large-scale actions, In the grass, two wild asses can often be seen watching the passing convoy together, and then disappear quickly when they sense threatened.

Two squadrons of cavalry served as escorts, and there were also personnel of the secret service of half a squadron of the Attendant Division, which was ridiculously strong in terms of the strength of the escort...... After all, there were only a dozen wagons guarded, and there were only a few dozen people.

But no guard will relax their vigilance, and even the military department will order to strengthen the vigilance in the forts along the way, in fact, from summer to autumn, and then to early winter, the entire hinterland controlled by Yusheng has not had more than ten rebellions in the past six months, and there have been a few small-scale rebellions of three or five people, most of which are herdsmen who can't bear the boredom of farming or the hard work of copper mines, fleeing on their own, or fleeing because they miss their hometown and family, as long as it does not involve human life, although these people are also called rebellions, But after they are caught, they can be whipped at most a few times and told to continue their work.

Confinement of herders in the land or in the mines was originally a cruel punishment, but the transformation also required such a process.

A considerable number of herders were released, and a large part of them were forcibly left behind, and if there was no compulsory hard labor, even after ten or twenty years, few Mongols would have chosen to live a way other than herding.

At the beginning, there were some Mongols who farmed the land, and their method was to use horses to pull the plow, plough a shallow layer, sprinkle the seeds, and then almost ignored it, but fortunately, the Mongols lacked everything, that is, they did not lack land, and even this method of planting could be rewarded.

There were almost no outsiders in the convoy, all of them were from Zhang Fuzhong.

Chang's, three wives and concubines, two children, this is the core of Zhang's house, and the old shopkeeper Zhou Fengji and Zhang Xuezeng, the two old people, were invited to the grassland to travel together, and by the way, it was here to celebrate the New Year. With Zhang Rui and other servants following, it adds up to only fifty or sixty people.

The Military and Political Department sent more than a dozen large cars, and in addition to passenger cars, there were also several large cars that were specially used to pull furniture and other things...... People up and down understand that this time they went north, and there was no special reason, and the Zhang family would not return to live in Lizhuang for a long time.

"This scenery is interesting at first, and it's normal to see it more." Chang Ning was holding his son in his arms, and his snow-white and beautiful face was full of satisfaction...... Maybe women are like this, even if they have a mother before giving birth to a child, they are limited, only when they suffer and give birth to their own blood and bones, as if a valve has been opened, their hearts are full of children.

"Yes......" Yang Liu said, closing the window.

The carriage in which the women sat was enough to accommodate more than 20 sergeants, but now there were only three women and a few nurses and servants, which was still very crowded, and the reason was very simple, the carriage was full of children's utensils, clothes, food, and a small copper stove for heating. Yu Niang's own child fell asleep, and when she was bored, she came over to chat with Yang Liu.

Everyone has nothing on their minds, and what they say is gossip, although it is in a strange place, a completely unfamiliar world, and the familiar scenery is not seen at all...... After walking hundreds of miles, there are no cities, no villages and towns, no farmland, no ditches, and even trees, but everyone is still very stable...... No one was upset.

"Look, it's another military platform." Yu Niang is still a little girl's character, she pointed out the window, and said proudly: "When I went to Qingcheng with Brother Han, there was nothing here, and I have seen several fire road piers and military platforms along the way." ”

There is indeed a military platform in front of you, the blue bricks are all the way high, like a boxy tube building, open the hope hole and perforation, there is a trench on the highest floor, surrounded by the courtyard wall and the dug ditch, there is only one road to enter, on the trench platform, you can vaguely see that there are soldiers standing guard, you can also see the artillery.

Every time they passed a military platform, everyone felt excited and proud, everything in front of them was created by their husbands, and of course it was worthy of the pride and pride of the women.

Even hundreds of years later, women like their men to be strong, but most of them backfire.

Yu Niang suddenly said again: "Farmland, you can see the farmland." ”

After passing this military platform, there is indeed a large area of farmland in front of it.

The sky was full of fluttering snowflakes, and the white snow kept covering the black earth, and there was already a light white on the ground, but the black ridges were still clearly visible, and you could also see a light layer of green on the ground, which was a wheat seedling that had not grown recently.

Everywhere there are endless fields, and occasionally there are some small villages with dozens of houses, and there are faint people walking outside the villages on horseback, and if it were not for the large meadows behind them, the scenery here would be no different from the scenery of the interior.

"Brother Han is really doing a great job." Yu Niangqiao's face was full of pride, and she said sincerely.

Chang Ning Zhengzheng looked out the window, before that, she was not completely unmindful that Zhang Han had not come back, but when she saw the scenery in front of her, her heart was already full of pride and pride, she looked down at the child, and her heart was full of a strange feeling.

After half a ring, Chang Ning said lightly: "This is a good view." ”

……

"Wen Lan, this is really an unappreciated achievement." Zhang Xuezeng and Zhou Fengji sat opposite each other, the old man was cold, and there was a fire in their car, and they kept adding charcoal, the fire was not small, and the car was as warm as spring.

As if hearing the discussion of a few girls, the two old men also looked at the scenery outside the window and chatted leisurely.

Although it was a casual attitude, Zhang Xuezeng's tone was still agitated that could not be concealed.

This old man attaches great importance to the clan, and Zhang Han is born in the Puzhou Zhang family, which is enough to make up for the pain of losing his grandson for the old man.

"I heard from the people of the Attendant Division," Zhou Fengji said: "The place we passed through was not reclaimed in the past in order to cover up, and next year it is estimated that it will be an important place to open up wasteland." In addition, a military fort will be built on the west side to make the defense more solid. ”

"There's going to be a conscription next year, right?"

"Not necessarily." Zhou Fengji said with some anxiety: "The copper mine is not easy to mine, fortunately, there is a trade subsidy from the Dongyu side, it is not easy to maintain the current situation, and next year we still need to move troops to the set of troops, and it will take a lot of manpower and expenses to reclaim wasteland, and then expand the army, it will be bad if it is difficult to continue." ”

"Of course, these things are handled by Wen Lan." Zhang Xuezeng was very determined, he stroked his beard and smiled: "Old Zhou, we are already a bad old man, don't worry about these idleness." ”

Zhou Fengji was familiar with Zhang Xuezeng, and he spoke more casually, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Third uncle, don't say that, I have more than 1,000 people raising ducks, and the army eats meat, and now at least thirty percent of the ducks I raise are from the duck flock, and the duck eggs have been eggs, becoming the first egg supply in the army." ”

Zhang Xuezeng nodded frequently, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the duck eggs are still delicious after pickling, and they smell fishy when they are cooked raw." ”

"I've already pickled a lot." Zhou Fengji said: "Although it costs a lot more salt, it can be used as a substitute for food, and it is easy to transport and preserve when cooked. ”

"You see," Zhang Xuezeng said with some sadness: "Everyone is useful, but I am already old." ”

"If you keep your body up, it will be of great use to He Yusheng." Zhou Fengji said: "You know Brother Han'er's character, and you always remember your help to him, but he has always remembered it in his heart." ”
