Zhang Xuezeng nodded slightly, who would have thought that a trivial matter that was done at random many years ago was also due to Zhang Xuezeng's nature, and there would be such a big change, the entire Zhang clan in Puzhou, Li Zhuang, Xinpingbao, Lingqiu, Tianchengwei, and even most of Datong and grassland, actually because of a young man back then, gave birth to earth-shaking changes?

"Speaking of which." Zhou Fengji saw that Zhang Xuezeng was a little sentimental, and changed the topic and said: "Didn't you say that this place is full of cotton fields?" ”

"The cotton fields should be abandoned." Zhang Xuezeng said: "Some land grows grain, some land is cultivated in rotation to recuperate, and some will continue to grow cotton next year." Wen Lan and I have always corresponded, but I have mentioned these things. ”

"We and Lao Li, the second shopkeeper of Yusheng's old store, don't know how to be happy when we see so much land."

"You mean Li Yuchun?" Zhang Xuezeng said with a smile: "He should come over too, but he won't be very happy, but should think about how to open up more wasteland next year!" ”

"It's good to rotate the plots." Zhou Fengji said: "Our Datong land should also be fallow and rotated, for soil cultivation, but it can't be done, poor and small households, tenant ten acres, their own three or five acres of land, the family eats, the yellow list and the white list must be supported, fallow, do not eat or drink, but also have to accept the imperial grain." ”

Zhang Xuezeng nodded silently, and a large amount of land on Yusheng's side, except for the core cotton field, most of them are fallow, and the newly opened land is planted with beans or alfalfa to nourish the land, and there is also a small amount of land that was opened less last year and planted with wheat.

Most of the pedestrians on the side of the road are wearing fur outturned leather jackets and fur hats, riding on horses and passing leisurely, although it is snowing in the sky, but no one makes a cowering appearance, on the contrary, people's expressions are very leisurely, their faces are ruddy and smooth, and the men's faces are a little fat. 【】

There was a man riding a horse, a man and a woman and two dolls sitting in front, three people were wearing thick robes, a shallow layer of snow fell on their bodies, the father and son laughed and turned into a fork in the road, it was a small village, and Yusheng's general grocery store was at the intersection, there was a high wall on the perimeter, the main gate was open during the day, and a woman stood in front of the gate, smiling at the three people.

Several old men with dung baskets on their backs and iron hoes in their hands were picking up horse manure on the side of the road. The manure they pick up is used to fertilize the vegetable fields outside the village, and the farmland is uniformly accumulated and used, and the people do not need to pick up the manure and fertilizer fields themselves.

A few women with children are buying groceries in the grocery store, the children are playing in front of the door, the women are not in a hurry, it is still early, there is no work in the fields, the men are being trained as peasants and soldiers, and they will not go home for a while, and no one is in a hurry to go home to cook.

There are more than 40 men gathered together outside the entrance of the village, most of the land on the grassland is reclaimed from Ding Zhuang recruited from Datong, first only recruit men, the monthly money is abundant, and later the military department builds houses and builds various auxiliary facilities at various gathering points, every dozens of small gathering points correspond to a military fort, there are a large number of commercial houses and various shops in the military fort, enough to meet the living needs of ordinary people, business gradually reaches, here you get more money, you can also use the method of installment to buy a house, many people live in Datong is a grass house, There are three main rooms, two side rooms, one gatehouse, six rooms and a small courtyard where people can live in a blue-tiled house, which is enough for these people to settle down.

Then the auxiliaries and soldiers began to settle in the grassland, most of them lived in the nearest place to the military fort area, and they did not have to farm in peacetime, but they would open some wasteland to grow vegetables by themselves, and of course their families took over.

At this time, including the military, the number of people living on the grassland has exceeded 250,000 people, which is of course together with the original 50,000 or so Han people in Banshengdi, the original Banshengdi has not given up, there have been some Han people who have been relocated back, but the large vegetable fields are still changed to cotton fields or serious crops, the Han people are not Mongolians, growing vegetables is a natural racial nature, every household has a lot of land to grow vegetables, where do you need special people to plant?

2560,000 people, said to be a lot, in fact, most of the people are settled in the settlement in front of them, each settlement has a tun chief, generally by the retired soldiers or auxiliaries to serve, usually according to the order of the agricultural department to manage the tenants to farm the matter, although the tenant farmers harvest more, their own share more, will not be lazy and treacherous, but the livestock is owned by the public, need a special person to feed, once fed thin, the agricultural department inspection is unqualified, the whole village will be punished, of course, when the brunt of the tun chief.

During the slack time, the tun chief was responsible for supervising the feeding of livestock and keeping public agricultural equipment, and at the same time called a special person to collect horse and sheep manure, accumulate manure and fertilizer fields, and then was responsible for the military training of farmers and soldiers in the village.

The people on the grassland were originally men in the prime of life, and in the past two years, a considerable number of people have been selected into the army, which also led to a shortage of labor in the Datong area, and then it was alleviated by recruiting displaced people, and then people settled down and gradually brought their wives and children and parents, so that there were old people, women, and children.

The middle-aged men who have been trained are already very familiar with the movements in their hands, they practice the array of firearms, and the military division has eliminated a large number of old firearms, saying that they are old, but in fact, they are not sold for about three or four years at most, and the current soldiers will certainly not buy the old firecrackers in the past, especially the old-fashioned firecrackers with the arquebus, and no one will take the money to buy them.

These guns are all recycled, slightly improved and trimmed, down to each village, the number is not enough to call a person, training is also used in turns, but fortunately, the fire gun is easy to learn, to insist on training is the degree of playing, and the method of cooperation.

The men of the village did not resist these trainings, even if there were no horse thieves and bandits, the wolves were always visible, and the men in the village had firearms and were skilled in battle, so the safety of the women, children and the elderly was somewhat more guaranteed.

The convoy kept moving forward, leaving behind military platforms and villages, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, quickly covering the original road and the rut marks that had been pressed out.

……

"Ignition!"

At the command of the gunner, the gunners of the twelve six-pounder guns brought their torches to the arquebus, and after a short period of burning, the guns roared.

The sound of a huge cannon tore through the silent snowfield, and it seemed that the whole world was alive.

Outside the Qingcheng City, there is a pure white everywhere, and there is hardly any variegated color, only the cyan city wall is still in people's eyes, and it seems to have become bigger and taller because of the background.

Petrin and the others stood on the right hand side of the artillery corps with complicated expressions, and it was a welcome ceremony held especially for them, all the Russians were present, and even the Cossacks were dressed in formal attire.

But no matter what, dozens of Russians looked so small and fragile in front of the scene in front of them, even the always arrogant Gregory and others closed their mouths tightly, and the wildness in their eyes still existed, but it turned into a deliberately provocative color, Petrin was a little worried, these barbaric contempt for life guys really didn't even take their own lives seriously, in order to maintain the image of the Cossacks warriors, maybe they would deliberately cause trouble here, he could only tell Madov to go and see these Cossacks, not to let them have nothing to do.

He Yusheng attached great importance to the returning mission, not only greeted ten miles, but also put out a military formation of more than 5,000 people, looking at the past, the array of soldiers in gray military robes was very neat, and the Russians could obviously feel the boundless murderous aura, which showed that these people were not only good-looking arrays, but also elite soldiers who had gone through actual combat.

In addition to a large number of infantry, there was a considerable number of cavalry, the number was around two thousand.

All the shiny cuirasses, the long riding spears, the saddle bags on both sides were either short guns or throwing spears and other throwing weapons, and there were narrow sabers at the waist, both in defense and attack, far from the poorly armed Cossacks.

Compared to these cavalrymen, the Cossacks were like a bunch of horse thieves and robbers, which made the Cossacks feel even worse.

The sky was blue, almost like a transparent sapphire, and in front of me were brightly armored cavalry and infantry with bayonets, infantry armed with spears, infantry in heavy iron armor.

All the soldiers stood on the snow, the array was as solid as a rock, not only did the soldiers stand straight, the military formation was as neat as tofu, and they didn't even hear a cough and wheezing.

Petrin and others have been to China many times, have seen the Ming army, most of them are like beggars, lack of training and military bravery, not even like healthy, confident and powerful men, taller than the Mongols, but a lot shorter than the Russians, their weapons are crude, lack of armor, and the training and storage of firearms are very poor.

Although it was a presumptuous, Petrin and others judged that the Ming Dynasty's army was very weak and was no match for the Russians at all.

The only thing worth mentioning about the Ming army is the number, the Ming army is measured in millions, and the Russians only have one or two thousand people in Central Asia, only one or two thousand people arrived at the Tomsk line, and then continue to advance at most one or two hundred people, although the Russians are very confident in the combat effectiveness of their soldiers, but they are not crazy enough to think that they can deal with the Golden Horde and the Siberian Khanate back then, a few thousand people can succeed, and they can only take their time.

The army in front of him was far beyond the Ming army that Petrin and others had seen.

When they were in Li Zhuang, they had also seen the merchant group training at that time, and the merchant group army more than two years ago did not have the current scale, nor did it have a perfect structure and troops, and its weapons were not as good as now.

"How do I feel like everything in front of me is so unreal." Petrin couldn't help but say to Madoff, "It's like a nightmare that you can't wake up from." ”
