The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

After arriving at the room, Zu Dashou pointed to his seat and said, "General Cao, please take a seat, today is also considered to be congratulations on your appointment in Jinzhou."

Congratulations on presiding over the defense of Ningyuan and Tuntian, with real power in hand, you will definitely have a great future in the future. ”

Zu Dashou naturally couldn't come because of eating, he was talking about the rules. Today, for the purpose of balance, Cao Bianjiao is recommended as his deputy to guard Jinzhou, and some things must be made clear.

Although Cao Bianjiao is a close confidant of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, when he arrives in Jinzhou, as long as he is in the Jiliao area, Zu Dashou has no scruples.

"At that time, General Lao Zu will help one or two more."

When he arrived in Jinzhou, Zu Dashou was his boss. After taking a seat, Cao Bianjiao hugged his fists to express his gratitude.

"To rebuild Juehua Island, according to the general's news, the imperial court allocated about 140,000 yuan in silver. Even so, there will be a considerable number of people who will write about the ruins of Jinzhou, and there will definitely be additional allocations.

General Cao, since you and I have partnered with Jinzhou, we must cooperate well in the future and serve the imperial court.

General Cao moved to defend Juehua Island, while the general led Neiding and his soldiers to patrol Jinzhou, Xingshan, and Songshan to calm the hearts of the army. ”

Zu Dashou said these words very slowly, but he believed that Cao Bianjiao understood.

From the perspective of grand strategy, Jinzhou is a choke point in the western Liaoning corridor, and it is a place where soldiers must fight.

If the Ming Dynasty only guards the gate, Jinzhou will not matter much, but as long as Ningyuan and Juehua Island are guarded, Jinzhou will be very important.

With Jinzhou, Ningyuan can be guaranteed, and Juehua Island is the key fortress to garrison Jinzhou, as long as Juehua Island is repaired again and defended by troops, it can ensure that Jinzhou, Xingshan, Songshan and other places are worry-free.

Although there is no hope of recovering Liaodong in a short period of time, and Shenyang and Liaoyang are even more distant, from the perspective of the entire strategic situation, it is quite beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is only the idea of the imperial court or other people, and what the generals see is where the opportunity to make money lies.

As Zu Dashou said, if Juehua Island wants to be repaired, it will cost a lot of materials, and the allocation of silver is only the first step, and there are still a lot of expenses that can be reimbursed.

The overall cost of repairing this city is quoted as hundreds of thousands of taels, which is not too outrageous.

Cao Bianjiao was silent for a while, picked up his wine glass and touched a glass with Zu Dashou, he said: "I only want to collect more family members and train to become a strong soldier, so as to repay the Inspector for reusing the grace of trust." ”

Zu Dashou said seriously: "This general is also going to practice more family members to repay the country's kindness." ”

After talking about business, Zu Dashou was much easier, and the ancestral family had many sources of income, but the main sources were land and empty quotas and embezzled military salaries.

These things are considered good for tens of thousands of taels a year, and most of the income is mainly used to raise the family.

After all, the ancestral family once surrendered to Jiannu, and the reason why it has not only been safe and sound so far, but also has been more and more valued by the imperial court, is that the strength retained by the ancestral family is the most important.

Like Li Chengliang in his later years, he was corrupt and hedonistic, and the sons of the Li family only cared about pleasure after Li Rusong's death, and no one cared about military affairs. The Li family has disappeared.

As a result, Li Rubai lost a battle, was attacked by the government and the opposition, and was forced to commit suicide.

If the Li family still has a few thousand families, even if everyone in the court shouts for killing, does the court dare to risk forcing the Li family to really surrender?

After understanding this, Zu Dashou's idea of enhancing his own strength never stopped. In any case, the ancestral family must maintain its current status.

For this reason, whether it is land or silver, as well as the recruitment of those who dare to die, the ancestral family has not stopped for a day.

Just a few years ago, Zu Dashou was worried that Jianyu would attack, and at the same time there was a reason for political speculation, so he violated the rebuilding of Ningyuan Yin and Fengyang, and was later forced to surrender to Sun Chengzong, and Zu Dashou was responsible for most of the construction of Ningyuan City.

At that time, Zu Dashou gradually understood that the imperial court's strategy towards Liaodong had completely changed!

There is very little land and Dingkou, and only a few cities are left in the land of Liaoxi, and the silver taels allocated by the imperial court in a year exceed three million taels!

What can I do with all this money?

The old grandson's use of silver is nothing more than to build weapons, train soldiers, reclaim land and build houses, but the biggest money spent is to build cities!

When he figured this out, Zu Dashou couldn't wait to smoke himself to death.

At the beginning, he was so confused and resisted the construction of the city.

It is necessary to know that to build a city is to mobilize tens of thousands of people or even hundreds of thousands of people, just by falsely reporting the loss and expenses, he earned more than 100,000 taels in Ningyuan City.

Directly brought home the whole box of silver, Zu Dashou did more than once, and built a city in Ningyuan, and the ancestral family made at least more than 200,000 taels.

If according to Sun Chengzong's plan, dozens of military forts and several important cities were built, Zu Dashou was sure that he would make at least one million taels or more, or even more.

Zu Dashou and Cao Bianjiao discussed some details again, and the wine was not eaten until the end of the afternoon, and after he returned to the ancestral family's residence in Ningyuan in a sedan chair, the wine in his eyes was gone.

Several family members guarded the gate and bowed when they saw the head of the house returning. Zu Dashou's rock-like face was expressionless, but he just glanced at it and saw that the family's backs were straight, and then he turned his gaze.

The ancestral family has made up its mind to forge ahead with strength, and Zu Dashou is very strict with his brothers and nephews, including his family, and the strength of the ancestral family is also slowly improving.

The courtyard outside is very large, and there are many weapons, and more than 100 family members who have lived with their ancestors are practicing hard, and they are all very strong men.

They are between their twenties and thirties, and some of the old qualified family members are only in their forties, and the oldest ones are those who quit the family team.

or become a junior officer in the army led by Zu Dashou, or go to the ancestral manor to manage the village for retirement.

Once they become family members, most people will choose to change their surnames, and they will become a part of the ancestral family, relying on the ancestral family for glory and disgrace.

And martial arts are the capital of their meals, and no one dares to relax and slack.

Zu Dashou got off the sedan chair, looked at it in the courtyard for a while, and saw that the family members were practicing very hard.

The weather was already hot, and the sun was at its hottest in the afternoon, and people would sweat even if they didn't move, and the family members were sweating profusely, constantly training knives and cards and the skills of immediate assassination.

There are also people practicing physical fitness, each of them is shirtless, the tendons and flesh on their bodies are very strong, and they are sweating, and the physique of the family members is much stronger than that of ordinary men in the Ming Dynasty.

In the corner of the courtyard, Wu Sangui is sorting out weapons and equipment, these are all life-saving things, and it is really not good to fake others, so I don't feel at ease.

Zu Dashou was indifferent when he first saw Jia Ding and his nephew training, but when he saw Wu Sangui, there was an obvious smile on his face.

Wu Sangui has been favored by Zu Dashou since he was a child and deliberately cultivated him.

And he is also very competitive, worthy of being a well-known young general from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, talking about military books and talking eloquently, and the growth of martial arts training is also very fast.

To be fair, the family style of the ancestral family is quite strict, and the strictness of the training of children and nephews is not under the family, compared with the pampering of the children of the generals in Liaoxi, Wu Sangui, who practiced hard in the ancestral family, is really worthy of his reputation.

"I've seen my uncle." Wu Sangui saw Zu Dashou coming, and ran over to greet Zu Dashou with a happy face.

Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, was born in a family of generals in the Middle and Later Institutes, and his ancestors were Yangzhou merchants.

Wu Xiang also worked as a businessman in his youth, and later because of his riding and archery kung fu, he was admitted to the Wujin Warrior, married the ancestral family, and married Zu Dashou's sister.

With the thick thighs of Zu Dashou to hug, Wu Sangui and his son are also dedicated to showing themselves in the army.

Wu Sangui admires Zu Dashou very much, and his uncle has contributed a lot to the smooth development of his life.

"How's the preparation?" Zu Dashou asked with a smile, pointed to the family members who were training on the field, and said, "Take them all away and strive for meritorious service."

Zu Kuan's uncle will tell him that everything is based on you. ”

"Thank you, uncle."

The next day, Zu Dashou, Zu Kuan, and Wu Sangui rushed from Ningyuan to Jinzhou, preparing to follow Lu Xinrong's fleet to the Liaodong Peninsula.
