Chapter 1043: Ambiguity

Ten thousand people, in Qin Feng's opinion, is indeed a joke. This is seeking the country, not a small fight, this time although the Ming Dynasty is not visible, but also in Kaiping, Yongping has gathered a large number of troops.

In the direction of Kaiping, there are three regular field battalions of Jumu Battalion, Huben Battalion, and Yulin Battalion, while in the direction of Yongping, the Baoqing Battalion and the Chasing Wind Battalion are in full array, not to mention the 10,000 horses of Lu Dayuan, who have been attached to the Ming Dynasty.

And these are just things floating on the water, under the surface of the water, Daming has invested countless manpower and material resources, over the years, but the tiger prison, Qingzhou and other places have penetrated like a sieve, and the silver money is naturally spent like flowing water. Even they, the Ming Emperor, quietly slipped to Yongping County to take charge of the overall situation.

And the Qi people only sent 10,000 people over.

Of course, it can also be said that the interests are different. The Ming people regard the Qin land as their own forbidden body, and they will be willing to get it, this is the strategic layout of the Ming Dynasty, laying a solid foundation for the general industry to fight against the Qi State, only after solving the problem of the Qin State, Qin Feng can withdraw himself to calculate the Chu State, and then complete the integration of the three countries, in order to have the spare strength to deal with the Qi State.

And the people of Qi don't take Qin too seriously, the three countries have been united to resist Qi for decades, and they haven't seen what they can do to Qi, Qi is still the largest country in the world, and it still presses the three kingdoms to fight, not to mention that now that Chu has been beaten into a cripple, it is even less worth mentioning. As for the Qin State, that poor place doesn't seem to have anything to miss except for the abundance of people. In the eyes of many Qi people, if Qi really takes the Qin State, I am afraid that it will not be a help, but a burden. They accepted Deng Shu's proposal and sent troops to the Hengduan Mountains, but they just held that if they had dates or not, they would fight a shot first, and even if they didn't succeed, they would be disgusting and disgusting to the Ming people.

Regarding the fact that Ming will become the most powerful opponent of Qi in the future, Qi still reached a consensus. It's not for anything else, it's mainly because of the last battle of Ming Qi, which was a real pain for the Qi people, and had to spit out the three counties of Yiyang, Wuling, and Taoyuan, although these three counties were also robbed, but what they robbed was their own, which is not far from the compensation for land cutting.

This is a shame, the Qi people are very concerned about this, but at that time it was a critical period of the war with Chu, and they could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and now that the Chu people are almost finished, everyone naturally wants to take revenge.

Of course, now is also a good time, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the country was in a mess by An Ruhai and these guys, and many places were seriously damaged, and the emperor took this opportunity to start a large-scale reform in the country, counting the Dingkou, spreading the Ding into the mu, rectifying the rule of officials, and all of them hit the weakness of the domestic wealthy lords, and the pain was so painful that they were pumping, and now everyone is busy competing with the emperor, and they really don't have the heart to mix this trip.

For the Qi people, the Qin State is a little poor, but it is not easy to get along, the Ming people really want to take the Qin State, not to mention that they have to fight fiercely, it is best to fight exhausted on both sides, which is naturally a great good thing for the Qi State.

Such an idea is not only the consensus in China, but even the emperor Cao Tiancheng and the former commander of the army Prince Cao Yun also have this idea, and limited intervention has become the policy of Qi to deal with this Qin incident.

10,000 dragons inlaid with an army, in the eyes of the Qi people, this is already quite a powerful force. If it is really as Deng Shu said, this time they can easily enter the Tiger Prison, then the next thing is too simple.

This is the difference between the concept and strategy of governing the country, in Qin Feng's view, so many Qin people are excellent sources of soldiers and wealth creators, how can it be a burden, don't you see that many counties in the Ming Kingdom have even done human trafficking in order to increase the number of people? The Ming Kingdom is sending people now, like in the larger counties, labor has become a big problem. In many places, people don't want to farm, and it is much easier to work in a workshop, or to work as a boy or hire a worker in the city, than to make money from farming. And the abandonment of land, this is not allowed, what should the magistrate do, he has to cause the population from the outside, there is no need to think about it at home, and each other, just like thieves, prevent neighbors from poaching people, then they can only find a way outside.

Now the largest foreign population in the Ming Kingdom is the Qin people, as long as they come over, give them houses, fields, tools, livestock, and prepare everything for you, they can only plant the fields.

The Qin people who came to the Ming Kingdom were like coming to a paradise, here, the land was much more fertile than the Qin State, and more importantly, the taxes were so low that they couldn't believe it, and the heaviest place was only two or three out of ten, in the Qin State, this ratio should reach more than fifty percent, if the forced labor was also converted, it would be seven or eight years, and if they didn't starve to death for a year, it would be a blessing to pay the heavens. In the Ming Kingdom, there was no such thing as forced labor, and the government had to levy people's husbands, build roads and dig ditches, and have to hire people with money, which was another income for farmers. In fact, this income alone is enough to pay the taxes collected by the government every year.

This also fully illustrates that the same thing is honey in some places, but in another place, it is poison.

Therefore, the Qi people sent troops to the Hengduan Mountains, with more thoughts, just to add a little trouble to the Ming people, if Deng Shu can succeed, it will be better.

With this mentality, it is natural that you don't pay attention to it.

Even if Guo Xiancheng personally went to Hengduan Mountain to sit in the town, it would not change this fact.

"Ten thousand?" Tuoba Yan frowned and looked at Guo Xiancheng at the top: "Dashuai, what's the matter?" As far as I know, the investment of the Ming people is tens of thousands of troops. What can we do if we count the 10,000-strong army, plus the 20,000-strong men and horses here at the end general? ”

In this matter, Tuoba Yan seemed very positive, in fact, as long as it involved fighting with the Ming people, he was very active, when Guo Xiancheng arrived here, on his desk, there was already a lot of information about the Ming people in the Tiger Prison, which was brought back by Murong Hai.

Didn't Tuoba Yan send Murong Hai to the Tiger Prison Pass to inquire about the information before? When this guy came back, he really brought a lot of information, and it was all dry goods, people like Guo Xiancheng are not easy to hide, true and false things, in the eyes of people like him, they can immediately filter out the false goods.

Seeing this information, Guo Xiancheng felt that Tuoba Yan had really put a lot of effort into it.

He understands Tuoba Yan very well. This guy is a barbarian, the barbarians originally had a country, but they were destroyed by the Ming State, the barbarian nobles were almost swept away, the barbarians were dismembered, divided, and sent to the various counties of the Ming Kingdom, thousands of miles apart, not connected to each other, and they couldn't make any waves, as a member of the barbarian nobles, Tuoba Yan hated the Ming people and wanted to take revenge on the Ming people, he took it for granted.

Flipping through this information, Guo Xiancheng nodded secretly, these things, without some effort, really can't do such achievements, this Tuoba Yan, although he is a barbarian, but his military talent is indeed outstanding, it is said that when he was unlucky two years ago, he almost went to the Hengduan Mountains with his bare hands, and at that time, he was able to gain a foothold here, all thanks to Tuoba Yan charging for him.

Such a cadre, of course, has to be disturbed well, and in the future, it will be of great use! Competing with the Ming people for the last hegemony in the world is already a sure thing, when I was at that time, I had such an outstanding general in my hands, and I also had an undying hatred with the Ming people, so it was naturally easy to use.

The handsome man is not comfortable, and he is just a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day, and the meaning of the emperor to collect military power is becoming more and more clear, and now it is the reform of the rule of officials, and when this thing is done, the emperor will definitely abolish the county soldiers in various places and integrate them into a field army, so as to suppress the power of the tyrants in various places to the lowest point, and when this is done, he will be the marshal to do it, and when the time comes, he will take the initiative, hand over the military power, and then go into battle again to compete with the Ming people. It's the true nature of a man.

"You've worked so hard! It's really well done. Guo Xiancheng appreciated the authenticity.

"What's the use?" Tuoba Yan has a calm face, he is now Guo Xiancheng's henchman, so he naturally has the qualifications to show the boss, and this is more in line with his identity: "What a good opportunity, maybe we can press Ming Guo into the mud, but the handsome only brought 10,000 people, how can this be beaten?" How good the Ming people are, it's not that the handsome people don't know! ”

If someone else said this, Guo Xiancheng would turn his face, and the defeat in the hands of the Ming people was a thorn in his heart, but Tuoba Yan was also driven away like a dog by the Ming people, and the two were sympathetic to each other, and now this person is his right-hand man, and he is eager for revenge, and Guo Xian doesn't think it's angry.

"It's because they can fight, that's why we have to be careful!" Guo Xiancheng patiently explained the current situation in China for Tuoba Yan, "Now in China, it's not that I don't want to fight, but I really can't pull away, and besides, if you really fight now, how many chances can we have?" ”

Guo Xiancheng thinks that Tuoba Yan is not the kind of powerful and brainless guy, this guy is just eager for revenge and wants to use the power of Qi people, but he can definitely see the situation in front of him.

"It depends on how far Deng Shu can go." Tuoba Yan said unhappily: "If we can easily get the Tiger Prison Pass, then we will be able to do it." With the Tiger Prison Pass, I am afraid that the Ming people will go to the sky. ”

"Yes, take the Tiger Prison Pass, but what we can think of, the Ming people can also think of, and He Weiping's soldiers and horses didn't move much? This is obviously to prevent us, and it can be seen that this person is not the only one Deng Shu who is the first to look forward. With a heart, too! So what Deng Shu said, He Weiping has completely fallen to them, this is debatable, if it is really like what they said, at this time, will He Weiping not transfer all the people and horses of his department to the Tiger Prison? ”

"Maybe it's not the right time!" Tuoba Yan Road.

"But the information you obtained shows that most of He Weiping's men have entered a state of alert, not a state of opening." You want to hit it hard, but you can't do it. ”

He looked at Tuoba Yan with a smile, and seemed to see the thoughts of this fierce general.

"Such an ambiguous attitude, but it is taboo to use soldiers!" Tuoba Yan sighed and said, "Either do it, or don't mix it, why do you feel a dilemma now, this is really not a thing." ”

Listening to Tuoba Yan's words, Guo Xiancheng was happy, not to mention, this is really the case, and now Qi Guo's attitude is ambiguous.

Even if he suffered a big loss in the hands of the Ming people, Guo Xiancheng did not think that in the final battle for hegemony in the world, the Qi people would be inferior to the Ming State, which was a psychological advantage formed by the high national power of the Qi State for a long time. I'm just carrying a heel in the gutter, and I will definitely be able to get it back in the future.
