Chapter 4 The wild geese fly south

"Good morning mother!" Uncle Wen Guang saw that the servant was in a hurry, so he hurried to see his mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Shumin, you will go to school immediately, the county will inquire more about the northland, I really can't rest assured that your second brother is safe, there are still a few letters in previous years, but there is no news this year." Zhu Cai directly said that he was uneasy in his heart. This scholar is the word of the uncle, which was taken by Liu Pingwu, an old talent invited from the ethnology, which means that reading is for the people.

"Mother, I was also anxious for my son, and I went to ask the relatives of the villagers who went with Wen Zhong before, but most of them had no news. Ming'er went to the county to inquire more. Wen Guang replied.

"How's that good?" Zhu Cai was a little panicked when he heard this.

Wen Guang also felt as if he shouldn't say that, so his mother was afraid that she was even more worried and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, I just heard that the north is going to fight, but it is only going to fight, and it is not yet fighting." It is not so easy for the imperial court to start a war with foreign countries, in the past ten years, the northern land has been defended, how can it be said that the war will be started, the expedition is big, and the consumption of grain, straw and silver is very large, I am afraid that it will not be easy to fight. ”

Zhu Cai's family was a little relieved when he heard this, and nodded: "It's good not to fight, it's good not to fight, the people in the north are barbaric, as long as you progress in the Central Plains, it's better not to mess with it." ”

Wen Guang nodded, although he didn't agree with his mother's statement in his heart, the few people were closed every year, and the border people suffered heavy losses, who didn't want to succeed in the first battle, but on the surface, he could only comfort his mother.

The days passed day by day, the uncle Wenguang studied hard in the county, preparing for the autumn three years later, the third master slowly stabilized his mind, worried about the big and small things in the clan, the fourth master Wenyuan also studied hard in the clan, and the old master Liu Pingwu also favored him.

Our protagonist Zhu Zhendong has also grown to more than a year old, and his steps are still a little faltering, and Uncle Wenguang has also officially decided the name of Zhu Zhendong, and he will be called Zhu Zhenguo in the future.

Although Zhu Zhenguo is a little more than a year old, he can say a lot of words, or Zhu Zhenguo himself deliberately said little in order to hide his life experience, for fear of shocking everyone. Even if he doesn't say much, he has shocked many people in other things, and he doesn't cry or make trouble every day, either he sits in a daze, or he flips through books to learn words, and everyone shouts in shock: "Wenqu Star is born!" ”

Only in the face of Zhu Cai and Zhu Xu did they say a few more words, and when others came to ask, Zhu Zhenguo ignored them all, and only said that his mother and grandmother had professors. In fact, Zhu Zhenguo also pretended to ask, and he thought he would know it once he asked one word.

Zhu Zhenguo gradually found that the world he crossed over was not the ancient he thought, and he thought that he had just traveled to a dynasty in history, but now he slowly discovered that although the writing, culture and social structure of this world are roughly similar to the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, they are not different at all in history.

Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, history was basically the same as Chinese history, but after the end of the Han Dynasty, it was completely different. As a result, the historical events and dynastic changes that I originally knew were completely useless.

This dynasty is called "Dahua", it has been 500 years, and now the year name is "Chengping", this year is the thirteenth year of Chengping, the emperor's surname is Xia, called Xia Zhen, thirty years old, upright and prime. Looking at the name of Chengping, you can know that Dahua has been peaceful for a long time, and there are fresh people outside the Great Wall of Beidi, and they are also nomads, and their strength is very strong, but they are a little loose.

Outside the Northwest Pass, there are Turkic people, the population is not large, but all the people are soldiers, and it is also a big trouble. The Northeast is a real person, a famous clan in the deep mountains and dense forests, there are not many people, but it is cold and frozen, except for banditry, but it is the most peaceful. There has always been a Great Wall in the north to resist it, and although there are continuous small wars, it is not a loss of land.

There are also barbarians in the south, also called mountain people, but they generally do not go out of the dense forests and mountains, and they also have a little contact with Dahua, but there is no fighting. There are also overseas Japanese people, only in moss.

Zhujiazhuang is located in Dajiang County, Xianning Prefecture, Qingshan County, under the rule of Qingshan County, there are more than ten miles away from the county seat, it is a corner of its own, there are more than 1,000 households in Zhuangzhong, the population is five or six thousand, most of them are surnamed Zhu, there is a river name in front of the village, there is a large paddy field on both sides of the river, the back of the village is a mountain, the hills are vertical and horizontal, the dry land is also many, the forest is also dense, and the property can be regarded as quite rich.

Before Zhujiazhuang did not have so many households, to Zhu Zhenguo ancestor on the Jinshi, most of the Zhu family in the nearby states and counties slowly migrated over, slowly opened up the wasteland, to form such a large industry, but also the ancestors of virtue, all the moved Zhu family also have a lot of care, to help the business.

Suddenly there was the sound of someone whipping the horses loudly in the gallop road of Zhuangkou, and the gallop road is a modern highway, which can run horse-drawn carriages all the way, so it should be repaired smoothly and spaciously. The Zhu family has a big business, so the more than ten miles of road to the county seat has been renovated quite well.

After turning the corner, I finally saw the person who came, it was the Zhu family uncle Wen Guang who came galloping in the carriage, and in a moment rushed over the plaque of Zhuangkou Jinshi and the first, rushed straight to the courtyard in front of the house, restrained the horse, and the uncle jumped out of the carriage. The uncle personally drove back in a hurry, which attracted everyone's attention, and they didn't know what was going on.

The uncle jumped out of the carriage, and immediately a janitor led the horse, unloaded the equipment and took it to the side yard to take care of it. The uncle went straight into the inner courtyard, and the third master was walking out, when he saw the eldest brother coming back in a hurry, he hurriedly asked, "Why did the eldest brother come back suddenly?" ”

"The third brother quickly sent someone to the clan to call back the fourth brother, for the elder brother, go to see your mother now, you also come quickly, the matter is important." After speaking, the uncle went straight into the inner courtyard.

Wen Bin did not doubt him, and went down according to what the eldest brother said, and walked to the inner courtyard himself.

It turned out that Wen Guang had just received news in the county that the northern border town had set out on an expedition. Recently, there has been more and more news about the war, and the official mansion newspaper has also said a lot, and the bigwigs of all parties in the court have been arguing for a long time.

When the Emperor Chengping Emperor Chengping was called Chengping, but not a person like Chengping, reigned for thirteen years, the country is also a small savings, thirty and standing, with big ambitions, a few years ago I wanted to follow the example of the ancestors to open up the land, but the country has been peaceful for a long time, and the ministers of the court and the central government are not willing to take risks easily.

The emperor wants to realize his ambitions are also full of resistance, these years Emperor Chengping slowly cleaned up the court, the Zhishi of the Zhishi, the pension of the old, to put it bluntly, is to agree to go to the top of the expedition, do not agree to go home, for a time is also a storm of officialdom. As mentioned earlier, fighting a war is not a trivial matter, and there are too many involved.

Grain, money, and silver are the basics, and it is necessary to budget for how long and how much money to fight, plan the plan for the transfer of troops, reorganize and train the army's combat strength, and test the ability of school generals. Chengping has been in the past for a long time, except for the troops in the northern border towns who have seen blood, most of the troops do not say that they have seen blood, and the queue is not straight.

For hundreds of years, in order to save expenses, the border towns have reduced their troops, and now there are less than 400,000 soldiers on the three sides to guard the Great Wall.

There are 70,000 in the northeastern Kwantung Town, 170,000 in the town of Zhengbei Datong, and 120,000 in the Northwest Metropolitan Protectorate, which is already the most basic configuration for defense, but as for the local army, it is insignificant. Mobilizing big things can't be started lightly. This also led to many smugglers going to high positions, and talented people who could really plan before and after went home.

This also indirectly shows that Emperor Chengping has some great achievements.
