In the nineteenth year of Longzheng, August 23. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Today is the day of the Thousand Autumns of the Heavenly King.

Xingtian Dance is dry, and Mengzhi is always in the ......

In the Wuwei camp, cars and horses circulate.

Countless supplies are flowing in and out.

The conscripts who came from all over Daqin were also in a hurry, and their faces were bitter.

This year, not a good year.

There were disasters in various places, although the imperial court was wise, and many boatloads of grain were brought from Fanbang Yiguo to relieve the famine in the south of the Yangtze River.

But most of the people can barely survive.

The floods are relentless, displacement is a foregone conclusion.

And the Western Regions raised swords again, and the war ignited, adding another layer of burden to the already difficult people.

In the former Ming Dynasty, there was a Liaodong salary, and now there is also a Western Regions salary.

Many cultured lords are secretly saying that the imperial court is now following in the footsteps of the former Ming, and I am afraid that it will not be a few years.

What's more, he also said that when today's son is today, there are eight times out of ten. Nine must follow the path of Grandpa Chongzhen.

There is a coal mountain on the mountain behind the Forbidden City in the east, and it is said that there is also a coal mountain behind the imperial city of Shenjing Daming Palace, which is prepared for today's son......

However, the people felt that it was not quite the same.

The Liaodong salary of the former Ming Dynasty scavenged the foundation of the already poor and difficult people, squeezed their bones dry, and forced them to cannibalize their sons, but they did not dare to touch the purses of the old men who were studying.

But nowadays, the faint tyrant who is cursed in private all day long by the old men who read, although he also collects war money, he collects it according to the number of acres of land, not according to the head of the person.

In this way, the landless tenants or the common people with a small amount of land did not need to pay much silver at all, while the landlords and squires with wide fields and houses had to pay more silver.

Although the conscription is still paid according to the mouth, as long as the people are not forced to pay taxes, the people are forced to sell their last mouthful of life food, but they will also distribute relief food, and the people can live.

There is always a way to live, isn't this different from the previous Ming?

The people are actually quite grateful to the saints today, without the few mouthfuls of life-saving food sent by the imperial court, I don't know how many people will starve to death!

You should collect more money from the squires, they have so much silver, who do they not take?

Looking at the squires who were high up and never worked but were rich and painful, the people were not only more in awe of the court, but also felt much more comfortable in their hearts.

Your Majesty is indeed holy!

At this time, now, the people only hope that the war in the Western Regions will end as soon as possible.

It's not that they feel that the scorching heat in the Western Regions is unbearable and they can't endure hardship.

What is it to survive in such a disaster year and endure a little hardship?

They only heard in the camp that after the end of the war in the Western Regions and the imperial court took back the Western Regions, countless people would be recruited to immigrate here and garrison the border.

According to the population, each person is divided into 20 acres of land, and grain seeds, ploughing cattle, and field tools are also rented.

Help the house, and you can borrow another year's food to survive this year.

Most of these people came from Jiangnan and Qilu, and a monstrous flood flooded their land, and most of them sold their fields to the local squires at the price of chicken feathers in order to survive the food.

Nowadays, they are all proletarians.

Sell instead of displaced. As a slave to the squires, it is better to come to the Western Regions to break through, which is always a way out.

If it had been a year ago, they would not have chosen to do so.

Because they didn't believe that the imperial court would be so kind, they rented grain seeds for free, rented cattle and field tools, and borrowed grain for a year.

But this year is different, it's really different.

When have you ever seen such a benevolent government that treats the people so kindly?

Today, Shengming!

The people want to immigrate to the Western Regions, firstly, because they don't want to be slaves, and secondly, they have seen the Western Regions in person, and they feel that it is not as terrifying and desolate as those old men who read are saying, and there are also people.

Third, they are doing their best to repay the king's kindness!

Now, they only hope to win a big victory as soon as possible, and if they can catch up, they will not return to the customs first, take the land, and plant the winter grain first.

By May or June next year, we will be able to harvest a wave of grain.

After planting grain, start a good house again.

I heard that the winter in the Western Regions can freeze people.

It's not okay to be a tight house.

But all these plans must be a great victory in the Western Regions.

But I don't know how long this battle will last.

The people hope for the early victory of the army, but there is one day that they look forward to even more, that is, the head of the camp, Suo Wenchang.

Suo Wenchang was originally a Sima in the army, a think tank for Qin Liang, and a counselor for military affairs.

But this time, Qin Liang didn't take him with him.

Because during the last war in the Western Regions, Suo Wenchang was seriously injured and fell ill.

Although he was saved by a famous doctor, he still suffered from the pain of life every time the climate changed.

The weather in the Western Regions is changeable, not as dry and rainy as Wuwei, so Qin Liang let him stay in the base camp.

Moreover, Suo Wenchang is the most trusted person in Qin Liang, and leaving him to guard the camp is also a great trust.

Three heroes in the early Han Dynasty, Xiao He is the leader.

What Suo Wenchang is doing now is Xiao He's job.

It's a really hard job!

Otherwise, Xiao He, who did not have significant military achievements in the early Han Dynasty, could not be ranked above Zhang Liang and Han Xin.

He sent three folds to the east almost three times a day, urging grain, ordnance, war horses, and military flags, tents, and grass......

Whatever is needed in the army, he urges everything.

Now, the bigwigs of the Imperial Court's Military Department, the Household Department, and even the Military Aircraft Pavilion and the Cabinet are all bored when they see his excerpts.

As later generations said, when the cannon sounds, there are ten thousand taels of gold.

In this era, the same applies.

War has always been a gold-selling monster, a bottomless pit.

A few years ago, the Western Regions had already experienced a major war, and more than half of the inventory in the arsenal of the military department had been consumed.

Coupled with this year's catastrophe and insufficient supplies, how can there be so many materials for the northwest to be opened?

Therefore, the officials in the court were extremely tired of Suo Wenchang's "insatiable".

That's fine, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, no matter how tired they are, they can't stretch out their hands, and they can't affect Suo Wenchang anything.

But even the local officials in the northwest now see Suo Wenchang as if they were looking at a plague god.

Because when the supply of the imperial court was insufficient or untimely, Suo Wenchang stretched out his hand to the northwest and scraped the ground......

In any case, it is necessary to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the Great War in the Western Regions.

Although I have barely done it now, it has also come to a very nervous time.

The northwest is barren and not rich, and there are not many supplies to be looted.

It's only been less than two months, Suo Wenchang is more than ten years old, his forehead is much deeper, and his temples are white.

Hard, hard, hard!

I only hope that the Western Regions will win as soon as possible, but ......

"Hey, what's that?"

Standing on the high ground in front of the camp, watching the people who kept coming and going to transport supplies, Suo Wenchang, who sighed in his heart, suddenly felt something and turned his head to look west.

But he saw a few black dots in the distance, and he quickly approached.

Closer, closer, Suo Wenchang's eyes suddenly widened!

Several horses galloped madly, and the knights on the horses were disheveled because of the jolting of the horses, and they looked a little embarrassed.

Plus the "horrified" faces......

Suo Wenchang only felt that his eyes were dark, and his thin body shook.

However, he is an extraordinary person in the end, and he has experienced many winds and waves.

Biting the tip of his tongue and forcibly calming down, he staggered a little to meet him.

He wanted to see what shocking news this Red Feather Messenger had brought!

However, before Suo Wenchang could take two steps forward, he heard the roar of the Red Feather Messenger from Qujing Gate in Wuwei West City:

"Great victory in the Western Regions! 100,000! ”

"Thousands of miles to the Western Regions, return to Qin today!!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"
