When Shen Yourong learned from Shen Maoxue and Wang Fulin that Wu Weizhong summoned the two of them when he came to Dongjiakou before and asked them to stay, it was because he had expected this battle that he couldn't help but be so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall. He couldn't help but complain, Shen Maoxue and Wang Fulin were really tight-mouthed, if he had known it earlier, he would definitely have softened Wu Weizhong and found a way to find a place among the attacking soldiers and horses, which was better than being able to look out from the side wall, and because the sky was gradually darkening, he couldn't see what was going on over there!

Of course, he was immediately suppressed by Shen Maoxue, and he could only sulk to the side.

Of course, Wang Fulin also has few regrets, except for the arrows left on the side wall and the bloodstains left by the wounded soldiers, the rest can only see the smoke and dust in the distance, the figure of people and horses, and hear the shouting and killing and the sound of the blade fighting. At this time, for the first time, he regretted that he should have learned more from a few technical nerds in the past, and he would not want to make an invention like now, but his eyes were black, and he couldn't even make glass, let alone a telescope.

Feng Jingzhong saw the unusual mood of these Dongjiakou guests, but at this time, what they should see and listen to has already been seen and heard by them, and the most important thing is to clean up the aftermath, comfort the wounded, and see how the losses in the city are. So, after it got dark, he drove the group back very forcefully under the pretext that the border wall was defending. It wasn't until he saw the people leave that the soldiers on the left and right said jokingly: "Since Qi Dashuai took office, Jizhen has never been captured, and this time I hope it can be done once and for all." It is said that after the first few losses, Dong Fox's prestige has been greatly reduced. This time hit hard. Maybe Jizhen will be too peaceful. ”

"The ancients often said that those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, after Qi Dashuai arrived in Jizhen, unlike the previous victory on the left and the victory on the right when he fought against the Japanese in the southeast, but. In the past, the captives who invaded the invaders at every turn are now more and more thunderous and rainy. Speaking of this, Feng Jingzhong thought of the general offensive just now, and there were always some indescribable doubts in his heart. Among them, it is a pity that there is no chance to attack, and it is more that Qi Jiguang's arrangement cannot be guessed.

Although the "hero" is useless, after returning to his residence, Wang Fulin does not have any big regrets. But. After hastily having dinner, he did not feel much tired, but took out a crude charcoal pen, spread out the paper to write and draw, from building the Great Wall, training troops, and repelling the Uliangha people, to this time to lure, pursue, and outflank...... He suddenly turned his head to look at Xiaobei. said thoughtfully: "Do you think that Qi Dashuai buried a nail in the Duoyan Department." Or were they originally divided into several factions, each fighting with each other, so they had already reported to Qi Dashuai? ”

Xiaobei was stunned for a moment and didn't have time to answer, but Bizhu on the side exclaimed: "What does my uncle mean that those captives were also sold?" ”

"You're saying that some people over there are already annoyed, or that they're scared. Since it's no good to fight, it's better to give in and beg for a reopening of the tribute market? ”

"That's it. For Jizhen, if there is no war, there will be no casualties, and there is no need for compensation. The court can save a lot of money, but if you really want to talk about it, these Tartars who pay tribute also need money, so the court hopes that people will be called ministers, and hope that people will not always come to pay tribute. For example, it is stipulated that they pay tribute once every three or five years, so that every year when they come, they have to be rewarded, and a large number of soldiers and horses are required to support them, for fear of hurting the people along the way. Therefore, for the elders of the imperial court, as well as Qi Dashuai of Jizhen, the ideal is to open mutual markets at several major passes such as Xifengkou in Jizhen to ensure peace for a long time. However, spending money to buy peace is still the purpose of the imperial court. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Fulin suddenly lowered his voice, "In fact, in the final analysis, in the past, when there were still Northern Parallel Metropolitan Divisions, Daning, Yingzhou, Dongsheng, Huizhou, Kaiping, Xinghe, this series of defense lines outside the Great Wall are connected, which can not only raise horses, but also deter Mongolia, but unfortunately, as in the Tang Dynasty in the past, when it was the strongest, whether it was the Western Regions, Turkic, Khitan, or Murowei, all of them had a governor's mansion or a protectorate's mansion, but when they shrank later, these became lonely chicken ribs. Swapping horses in the market seems to be cheap, but where can you raise your own horses to worry about the future? It seems convenient to exchange silver for salt, but how can it be as far-sighted as opening the grain for salt? ”

"In the final analysis, the imperial court has a system but no one supervises, no one calculates, and there is a lack of a top-down overall planning system. As for the imperial court, once it encounters a major event such as a war, it will be apportioned downward, and hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels will be apportioned to each political secretary, and the so-called light and meager endowment has become a joke. After the beginning of the country, the horse breeders suffered heavy losses and had to flee. And when there is something at the border, there will be endless salt introduction, which makes people wait for several generations for decades, and there are many malpractices in the salt transportation department. ”

Bizhu is just a girl, although she has read a few books, but where do you understand this, she is just ignorant when she listens to it. Although Xiaobei only understood a small part, Wang Fulin was reprimanding the government and even involving the ancestral system, she still understood, and hurriedly flashed out the door to take a quick look, and saw that no one was watching and eavesdropping, so she was relieved and turned around. She returned to Wang Fulin at the table, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "When you helped Cheng Naixuan's father integrate those salt merchants in Huizhou in Yangzhou, and pushed the principal to the Wang family, I didn't see you so cynical. ”

"Lady, some people, take me as an analogy, no matter how lazy or worldly utilitarian he is, at some point, he will turn into an angry youth." Wang Fulin smiled and explained to Xiaobei the meaning of the angry youth, seeing that he was angry and funny, but he felt fresh, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, I still have self-knowledge in your father-in-law, just talking, pure talk." Okay, it's not early, let's all go to sleep. ”

Despite this, when he went to bed and lay down, Wang Fulin knew that he was a lazy person, and he would only move when he was forced to do so, but from the bottom of his bones, just looking at his previous approach to facing crises, he knew very well that he was a very gambling person. This time, he was ordered by Wang Daokun to take a trip to Jizhen, but he offered to go to Liaodong, but what he had to deal with was not the current crisis, but planned to take advantage of the opportunistic approach to see if he could solve the crisis decades later as soon as possible. He himself may not live that long, but he must always think about the future sons and grandchildren.

After all, even Zhang Juzheng is inevitably killed and liquidated, he doesn't think that he can start from the imperial court, mend the cracks in the sky with one hand, and turn the tide! He can't do it with Shangshu, and he can't do it with Shousuke, unless he can maintain a large top-down well-organized party, or simply usurp the throne! The latter two are basically exhausted about losing their bald hair, and he might as well gamble on his luck first.

Four days later, Wu Weizhong, who led the army in pursuit, sent someone to send back the news to Dongjiakou. Qi Jiguang led the left battalion and the cavalry to attack from Yumuling, capturing Dong Changbald, the commander of the attack on Dongjiakou, and his sixteen men, and the rest scattered and fled, tens of thousands. As soon as the news spread, the entire Dong family was thunderous, and everyone from soldiers to old and young women and children was elated. Although the pursuing team of Dongjiakou here did not use the garrison of Dongjiakou, but the soldiers and horses drawn from Shanhaiguan and Loess Ridge, this did not hinder the festive atmosphere of the people.

Even the children who Wang Fulin once taught, after asking him where he lived, came to the door with eggs and bacon and other things, and invited him to share the joy of this good news. Not only him, but also the uncles and nephews of the Shen family, Xiaobei and Bizhu, all had people to send things, the most of which was self-brewed rice wine, and for a while, they seemed to have become a part of Dongjiakou in Jizhen Town. Because of this, when it was delayed from Dongjiakou in mid-February, the group was a little reluctant, especially when they saw many children who were sending each other, and even the footsteps of the horses under them were a little sluggish and heavy.

When they arrived at Shanhaiguan, everyone learned that Wu Weizhong, the general of Shanhai Road, had not yet returned to the division in triumph, but they heard more details about the previous battle. There were about 10,000 soldiers and horses on the two roads before, but it was the Duoyan Iron Cavalry with a total number of more than 30,000 people who were outflanked. However, after the Duoyan Department attacked and defeated the battle again and again, the morale of the people had already dispersed, and the team was not easy to lead, and the army that had invaded Dongjiakou before had fallen apart on the way to Wu Weizhong's pursuit, and the main force of the Qi family army and the elite soldiers and horses of Jizhen was to rush one hundred and fifty miles from Yumuling and smash Huanglong.

As for how Dong Changbald and the others, who fled there in a hurry, found that the base camp was empty, and they crashed into the encirclement again, and so on, it sounded to Wang Fulin, as if he was talking about the villains in the book, and he was taken down by the protagonist shrouded in the halo of the protagonist.

"After this battle, Duoyan's liver and gallbladder are broken, and Jizhen can have ten years of peace!"

When the group left Shanhaiguan and really set foot on the land of Liaodong, Wang Fulin looked back at the first pass in the world, sighed lightly, and then cheered up.

Out of Shanhaiguan, according to the concept of later generations, this is considered to be out of the customs. But now in this year, the Great Wall to Shanhaiguan is not the end, but another beginning, a whole Liaodong, there are still 2,000 miles of the Great Wall! (To be continued.) )
