"The autumn wind is up. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A cool wind blew on everyone's body, the heat was swept away by the cool breeze, Zhang Han's clothes were blown and crackled, he sighed to everyone: "Another year of golden autumn is coming, is this this year?" ”

"Always take a break and catch your breath." Li Shenming said in a relaxed tone: "You yourself said that you can't become a fat person by eating one bite, and if you want to eat a bite, you have to choke carefully." In the past two years, we have consolidated the territory we have conquered, done a good job in the trade routes of the Russians, and when we can earn 8 million taels a year, it will be time to expand the army and fight the territory. ”

Sun Jingting didn't have an interface, and he repeated the number Li Shenming said with some intoxication: "Eight million taels ......"

Zhang Han laughed and said, "Brother Zunlu really dares to think and dare to say it, but this sound makes people feel uplifted and excited, and it is very good to say." ”

Sun Jingting also said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty that has more than a dozen provinces and hundreds of millions of people in a year is about to catch up, who dares to believe it?" But this is a fact, iron tools in the northern folk, this benefit is hundreds of thousands, mules and horses and accounts bureau, more than one million, bronze and copper coins, more than one million, trade in the east, more than one million, trade in the north, hundreds of thousands, and Yusheng's branch stores in the north, hundreds of thousands, annual income has been more than five million, to eight million or even ten million, can not be obtained? ”

Everyone laughed dumbly, Sun Jingting is also rare to show his wanton and wild side like this, people were all said to the ups and downs, and they forgot to speak for a while, only the rustle of flowers and trees in the cool breeze of early autumn.

……

The next day, Sun Jingting rushed to Zhang Han's residence with the military orders drafted by the Military Orders Department.

He was very anxious, because Zhang Han had been back for several days, and if the incident leaked, it was likely to cause unpredictable consequences, although the military department was not afraid that the Datong garrison would do anything unfavorable, but he didn't want to make those officials confused because Zhang Han was here, once he really tore his face, it might be a fatal blow to He Yusheng's fragile financial system at this stage.

The military secretary has the same view as Zhang Han, the profits from the opening of Russian trade, the profits from Taiwan's trade, and the profits from the eastern and northern captives, when the parties add up to more than millions, and Yusheng can bear the price of turning against the imperial court.

Otherwise, once the change occurs, at least more than three million will be lost, and this price and Yusheng can't afford it now.

Ma Chaoren brothers, Li Dayong, Jiang Dalin, Li Guobin and others are most worried about this.

"Can you go for a morning run?"

When he arrived at the residence, Sun Jingting saw that Wu Qi, Zhou Rui, Jiang Yi and others were all outside the door, and he didn't feel a little strange.

"In the middle of the night, I arrived at the emergency pond report." Wu Qi said: "My lord summoned Wang Changfu and others to the sand table room overnight to study the military situation, and I have been staying up for half the night. ”

"What is the emergency military situation?" Sun Jingting's heart was tense at first, and then he thought that if it was a major military situation, it would be impossible for Zhang Han not to summon himself, Li Shenming and others to attend the meeting, and he was a little relieved.

"This ......" Wu Qi hesitated for a moment, seeing that Sun Jingting's servants were a little far away, he should not be able to hear the conversation between him and Sun Jingting, and after observation, he replied: "It is the Tang newspaper of the cavalry regiment, they fought a big battle with the Dongyu, with more than 3,000 people against more than 4,000 people, the Donglu rode on foot, and the cavalry charged the battle with cavalry, the enemy formation stood still, and then lost the fighter, although there were firearms in rotation, the effect was not as good as the strong bow and arrow of the Dongyu, it was more than 500 people killed in the battle of our army, and there were many wounded, and the Donglu estimated that more than 200 people died in the battle, Fortunately, there were more white armors killed, close to 100 people, and the adults said that just killing so many white armors was not a loss. ”

When Sun Jingting first heard that the cavalry had failed to charge and the losses were far greater than those of the eastern captives, it was so dark in front of him that he almost fell to the ground.

Everyone in Li Zhuang has a belief that all the troops created by Zhang Han are invincible and strong, and there may be occasional defeats in small-scale battles, but there is absolutely no possibility of defeat if the army gathers to fight with the enemy.

Wu Qi's attendants may also have this feeling, so the atmosphere is solemn, and everyone is very nervous.

"Wen Lan, what's the situation?"

Sun Jingting's identity did not need to be communicated, Wu Qi directly led him into the signing room.

Wang Changfu and the others were smoking and drinking tea to refresh themselves, and their eyes were red.

Zhang Han's expression was very hearty, and he was not depressed because of the unfavorable situation in this war.

He looked at Sun Jingting's anxious look, and said with a smile: "If the Daming Guanning Army killed nearly 100 white-armored elites with 3,000 to 4,000 Dongyu, I'm afraid that the court doesn't know what it looks like to be happy, but in our place, everyone looks unlucky, why is this?" ”

Sun Jingting smiled bitterly: "You can be witty at any time!" ”

Zhang Han said: "I'm not being witty, I'm telling the truth. We fought with Beiyu for less than two years, and there were only two real battles, once we defended Jining Fort, we attacked in the battle of Xiaohekou, and we attacked more in the battle of Yulin. But speaking of which, our army has fought a few major battles, and the rest have been small-scale battles of about 1,000 men. Our opponent is the weakest Beiyu, and everyone is complacent, and the pride is not good, and we are the strongest army in the world? If you want me to say, it's good to remind everyone this time, so that everyone knows that our merchant army is only a new army that has been established for a few years, although it is getting stronger and stronger, but it is still far from the real first-class position. ”

Sun Jingting still looked a little unacceptable, and said: "I thought that the merchant army had spent such a big price, and it should be stronger than the northern and eastern captives. ”

"Hmph." Zhang Han snorted coldly and said, "It's already a good fight!" The cavalry can fight like this with more opponents than themselves, or the leaders of the troops are cautious and unwilling to hedge with cavalry. If it is replaced by the more old and spicy Mang Gurtai, Abatai, or Huang Taiji to lead the army, I am afraid that it will be very good if the cavalry can come back with a thousand people. There may be a maximum of 300 more deaths! ”

At this time, Zhang Han looked at the officers present and said sharply: "No one should look dejected, when Zhou Yao comes, you will know what kind of color Dongyu is." In the battle of Salhu, the more than 100,000 troops mobilized by the Ming Dynasty were all elites of Liaozhen and Xuanda Jizhen, and the Southwest Sichuan soldiers were also the strong troops of the Southern Army. The battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang was also the same, 60,000 Liao soldiers defended Shenyang, 60,000 Liao soldiers defended Liaoyang, 20,000 Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers came to aid along the river, and it was more than 100,000 strong troops, but they were swept by the Eight Banners soldiers within a few days! You say that the merchant army is very strong, but you must also see that the Dongyu has been fighting since the rise of the old slaves, and now there have been several large-scale wars with more than 200,000 people. ”

Wang Changfu said at this time: "The worrying person was originally the reason for the defeat of the cavalry...... The bow and arrows are sharp, and the power of the riding gun is far less. And with the lancers to break the infantry formation or hedge, a large number of soldiers will be lost in one battle, so I am very worried. But the adults pulled out a little, the cavalry was restructured and trained, the direction is there, and everyone is determined in their hearts, after the meeting, we must appease the morale of the army, and the general general direction is what the meeting said and what the adults are saying now. ”

Many officers nodded, and then Zhang Han waved his hand, and all the officers stood up and gave a military salute in the room, and their military boots touched each other, making a neat sound, and then retreated.

At this time, Li Shenming also rushed over and stayed with Wang Changfu to discuss the aftermath.

"The Shangyi Marching Division has ordered them to stand by in Zuotunwei." Zhang Han had the latest news summary at hand, and he said: "The next thing is to change the entire system of cavalry, and it has been proved that the means that are effective against the northern captives are useless against the eastern captives. Going down, having a chaser on the grassland is enough to restrain the northern captives from not daring to move, and the cavalry is still mainly aimed at the eastern captives. ”

"What about military law?" Li Shenming said with some uneasiness: "The soldiers are defeated at the beginning, and people are determined. If you ...... at this point"

"The significance of setting up the Military Justice Department is to tell everyone that military law is always the most important thing in all circumstances." Zhang Han said to Sun Jingting: "The military order will be issued, and all the previous dispositions will remain the same, and those who should be arrested will be exempted, and those who should be arrested will be arrested." ”

Li Shenming said with a gloomy face: "You are not afraid of changes before the army? The soldiers were defeated at the beginning, the casualties were quite serious, and then the Judge Advocate General's Department went to arrest people, and what happened under the anger was not because they were afraid of anything, but because they were afraid of causing bad public opinion. ”

Zhang Han said impatiently: "I don't pay attention to this matter, the principle is to affirm the importance of military discipline and law, and then it is necessary to deal with the morale of the army, what is important and what is light, the people of the Military Judge Advocate Department must figure it out and handle it by themselves, I can't handle everything in my hands, that will exhaust me to death." ”

After the officers left, the faces of Zhang and Li Sun became even more gloomy.

Li Shenming said: "Dongyu seems to feel that the taste is wrong. ”

"That's because they're not stupid after all." Zhang Han said with a smile: "More than one million gold and silver flow out a year, and the silver they worked hard to grab changed hands to us, what do they want?" ”

Sun Jingting said: "They only need food and cloth, as long as they still need cloth, we will be profitable, and the loss is not too big." ”

Li Shenming nodded and said: "That's right, those valuable goods and groceries are our second-in-command, and the profit margin is very limited." The longer the grain and cloth, the higher the proportion of our own production, so that the loss is very limited. ”

"Even so...... Sun Jingting said with a bitter face: "This year, we will lose at least three or four hundred thousand, this is another big pit!" ”

"Brother Xiaozheng rest assured." Zhang Han said: "This pit is very small, we can always move through." ”

Zhang Han showed a cold look on his face, and he said: "Dongyu has pitted us now, it's nothing, in the future, we will dig a pit for them, but we will pit them to death!" ”
