Chapter 712: What I Saw

"Stop living, we must persuade Zhang Han to go here, and we must focus on the overall situation......" In the past few days, Mao Yuanyi often remembered Sun Chengzong's instructions when he was leaving, the movement on the side of the Thirteen Mountains was unusually large, and finally it was so big that even Ning Yuan found out, after careful testing, the Ming army found that the outer encirclement of the Thirteen Mountains was abnormally loose, and at the beginning, Zu Dashou and others were worried that it was Jianyu's plan to lure the enemy into depth, until the news came from Chahar, Sun Chengzong and others were sure that the siege of the Thirteen Mountains had indeed been half-solved, Although Jianyu is still besieged by soldiers and horses, the outer encirclement has been unusually loosened, the reason is that Dai Shan and others are leading the main force to wage war with the five-part alliance of Inner Khalkha, and Lin Dan Khan, who has already taken a million taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty, did not send troops at all this time, which made the Ming court extremely disappointed.

After getting the exact news from Lin Dan Khan, Ning Yuan immediately took action.

Zu Dashou and other generals in western Liaoning were immediately ordered to prepare, and the Jingshi side was also very cooperative, and the granary of Tongzhou prepared about one million stone of grain, and began to prepare for transportation to Ningyuan, but the imperial court and Sun Chengzong have not yet made up their minds, the main reason is that there are hundreds of miles from Ningyuan to the Thirteen Mountains, and the elite soldiers and horses can do it in a short period of time to break the siege, but if the grain is not transported as soon as possible, Dai Shan, who came back from the grassland, rushed back with elite cavalry, and the fun would be great.

Sun Chengzong's plan is to ask He Yusheng to exert his strength again and bring as many cars as possible, even if it affects the operation of the business.

Thinking of the purpose of his trip, as well as Sun Chengzong's embarrassment and hesitation when he explained the task, and seeing all this in front of him, he felt the majesty and prominence of Zhang Han when he entered the fort, and the bitterness on Mao Yuanyi's face became even more obvious.

"Aha," Zhang Han took the lead in dismounting, greeted a man in his thirties who was wearing a round-necked blue robe and a square scarf, and laughed: "This is Brother Zhisheng, I have always heard of a big name for a long time, but this is the first time we have met." ”

It is true that when Zhang Han was in the capital last time, Mao Yuanyi, Sun Yuanhua and others were following Sun Chengzong outside the gate, and the two sides had been returning letters before, Mao Yuanyi did not go to Lizhuang to see Zhang Han, and Zhang Han would not go to the capital to meet this person without anything, so although they have been friends for a long time, it is really the first time to meet.

"It's Xiaguan." Mao Yuanyi is now a guerrilla in praise of painting, and the imperial court has not yet granted him the position of the guard and the world, and in terms of official position, he is far worse than Zhang Han of the second grade, so although he is in civilian clothes, he still poses as a subordinate.

"We're friends." Zhang Han squeezed his eyes, actually lightly slapped Mao Yuanyi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to put on such a look?" ”

"Friends?" Mao Yuanyi was a little embarrassed and muttered.

"Yes, we're friends." Zhang Han said: "Brother Zhisheng helped us when we were at the end of our life, and the Ministry of Industry also shouted for us in iron matters, and the letters over the years have also been friends for a long time, and we are also close friends with Brother Chuyang, and Brother Zhizhi are also close friends, so they are not friends?" ”

Mao Yuanyi was moved in his heart when he heard this, although he still slandered Zhang Han that the word "friend" was not used correctly, Zhang Han was a child, Mao Yuanyi himself had no fame, and the word friend was a word that only students who had entered the school could do, how could he be a two-grade martial artist, and the other was a well-known military scientist in the country, he was not worthy of using the word friend.

However, seeing that Kong Minxing and the others had no different colors, it was obvious that they had long been accustomed to Zhang Han's wording, so Mao Yuanyi had no choice but to follow the customs of the locals, and said with a smile: "Since my lord said so, the lower officials can be regarded as high climbers." ”

"Just call me Wenlan." Zhang Han grabbed Mao Yuanyi's arm and said with a smile: "Zhisheng is a rare time to come to the grassland, we are tired of eating mutton, but tonight we must put out a whole sheep banquet to catch the wind for Brother Zhisheng." ”

Mao Yuanyi didn't know what he felt in his heart, so he had to keep agreeing, at this time Kong Minxing came up to greet him, a few people walked in front, and the guards were on guard along the way, but Mao Yuanyi could see that the security level of He Yusheng was not high, just to protect Zhang Han's safety, not to clear the streets, Zhang Han himself was striding in the middle of the market, without the prestige of an official, and Zhang Han was wearing the gray robe of an ordinary soldier, which should be Heyusheng's summer military robe, which was much shorter than the winter one, The hem of the military robe is only above Zhang Han's knees, the material is also thinner, the cut is very good, it fits properly, the soldiers walking on the street are wearing this body, adding a lot of majestic atmosphere, and the military temperament is even stronger, and those big girls and little daughters-in-law are all excited.

But no matter what, it's just an ordinary military robe after all......

Zhang Han's informality and lack of arrogance can be seen from this unchanged robe and casual walking on the street.

And what made Mao Yuanyi even more frightened was that the passers-by greeted Zhang Han affectionately, Zhang Han mostly smiled, and occasionally there might be acquaintances to say hello, Zhang Han just nodded, or hugged his fist, and the one-and-a-half-mile-long street was walking so casually, as if he was walking in his own courtyard.

Zhang Han's official residence is in the middle of the tic-tac-toe street in the city, which was originally the place where the military fort was garrisoned, as soon as people poured in, someone immediately went to kill sheep according to Zhang Han's instructions, and the mansion was immediately a little messy, which made Mao Yuanyi, who was accustomed to the orderly order of the yamen, feel weird, and even laughed dumbly.

In Sun Chengzong's place, whether it is a civil official or a staff member like Mao Yuanyi, or a military general, a personal follower, a cangtou, a guard, no one dares to make a loud noise, let alone a noisy and laughing person who kills sheep in the Jingluo Mansion to prepare for a banquet, Sun Chengzong is very easy-going, and there is no shelf, but as long as he is where he is, it must be quiet, and all kinds of things are carried out in an orderly manner.

But when Mao Yuanyi thought about it, he realized that he liked the chaotic feeling of such a vegetable field.

Zhang Han pulled Mao Yuanyi straight into the signing room, only Kong Minxing sat in the room, and when the tea was served, Zhang Han was not polite, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhisheng, what did you hear and go?" ”

Mao Yuanyi didn't expect Zhang Han's beginning to be these two sentences!

This is what Ji Kang asked Zhong Hui at the beginning, of course, Ji Kang is implicit contempt, Zhong Hui's answer is also a hidden murderous intention, and in the end Ji Kang died on this sentence, Mao Yuanyi of course will not suspect that Zhang Han has plans to kill himself, but this is not easy to answer.

"I have heard what I have heard, and what I have seen is equal to what I have heard." Mao Yuanyi knew that the answer to this sentence was inevitable, so he had to answer with sincerity.

"Brother Zhisheng is also a sincere gentleman." Zhang Han smiled and said: "However, except for the army, the matter of changing the grassland into farmland does not need to be publicized, and other things can be mentioned casually." ”

Mao Yuanyi nodded lightly.

The army, of course, cannot say...... Zhang Han nominally only led two guards, according to the current decay of the Ming Guard, the officers who led the two guards could have a hundred Ding, even if they were law-abiding and shrewd and capable generals, and the other was the Acropolis garrison, it would be enough to lead a sentry of three or four hundred people at most, and then it was to lead the merchant group to practice, and the imperial court also knew that it was not easy to say too much about this matter, Mao Yuanyi estimated that even if he wanted to talk, many people would rather plug their ears and not listen.

The matter of reclamation, and Yusheng built so many military fort piers, this thing can not be said, and Yusheng reported to the imperial court only to strengthen the garrison outside the side wall, and built some military defenses along the border, because the old side wall was damaged a lot, in the Wanli period the imperial court presided over the repair of the side wall in the Xuanfu area, and there was no financial resources to repair the Datong side wall for the time being, so Zhang Han's behavior was still quite appreciated by the imperial court.

Of course, Mao Yuanyi thought with malice: If the princes of the DPRK and China knew that the so-called expansion of land for tens of miles to hundreds of miles was actually like this, what kind of expressions would they have on their faces?

Military, Forte Tuntian can't be said, if you say it, it will definitely be bad, Zhang Han's actions are almost self-reliant, at least it is a de facto feudal town, from this point of view, if the officials of Xuanda are investigated, they will lose their heads, if it is in the hands of Taizu and Emperor Taizong, Xuanda must be prepared to die tens of thousands of people at least to settle this matter. Although there is no need to worry so much now, after all, it is better to have more than one thing.

What can be said is naturally the expansion of the scale of business.

The imperial court forbade the opening of the horse market, but its attitude towards the Mongols was not as resolute as that during the Chongzhen period. The Apocalypse Dynasty has the idea of the Apocalypse Dynasty, Chongzhen's overall view has many problems, but it can't be said to be completely wrong in terms of attitude towards the Mongols, after all, if the Ming Dynasty's national strength is insufficient, it can't control the Mongolian ally, and Lin Dan Khan was given a million silver during the Apocalypse, what is the use? In the end, it was useless, but during the Chongzhen period, trade with Mongolia was strictly prohibited, including the transportation of grain, and one of the core crimes of Yuan Chonghuan's killing was the smuggling of military food to the enemy.

Zhang Han was pointed out at this time that it was not a big problem to transport grain to Mongolia, and Yusheng was originally a businessman, after Mao Yuanyi returned to Beijing and Ningyuan, it was not wrong to praise and Yusheng's business scale, after all, both inside and outside the Beijing division knew the strength of He Yusheng, this merchant was rooted in Datong, and his strength was as far as Xuanfu Shanxi and Jingshi and the entire Beizhili territory, and also south to Shandong, Henan and other places, no matter how Mao Yuanyi exaggerated and Yusheng's commercial strength, Jingshi and Ningyuan would not make any waves.

"The reason why Brother Zhisheng said this," Zhang Han continued: "It's because we have to dispatch a large number of carriages and horses to Ningyuan, in order to prevent shocking the world, it's better to ask Brother Zhisheng to do some foreshadowing first, otherwise, I'm afraid that it will make a big fuss all of a sudden, which will lead to a discussion, but it will not be beautiful." ”
