"What the adults have come up with is a miracle, what kind of cement road is this, it is much easier to walk than the rammed earth road." The veteran stroked his beard and said in his heart.

Wu Yibo also set up a developed post station system in Jiangbei, which directly connected to various counties, and his son exchanged letters from time to time, so he naturally knew what happened in this town.

Coming out of the warehouse area, Lian Zining originally thought that King Liang had gotten up early in the morning and was tired, so he wanted to send them back to the post house to rest.

As a result, it didn't work out, but King Liang was enthusiastic and proposed to go to the Ordnance Bureau to take a look.

Yes, Lian Zining can only accompany him.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Ordnance Bureau, a horse galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and came to Lian Zining and whispered: "My lord, General Chen has come over and is waiting in the mansion." ”

Lian Zining nodded, waved his hand and let the knight leave.

Before he could speak, King Liang was very reasonable: "Uncle Wu Yi is entangled in important matters, it doesn't matter, this king can have Shi Zhenfu as a companion here." ”

Lian Zining said apologetically: "There is indeed something to do." ”

King Liang smiled: "You go and get busy." ”

Lian Zining confessed and hurriedly took people home.

Chen Dakang was already waiting there, and when he saw Lian Zining, he hurriedly greeted him, Lian Zining waved his hand and smiled: "Old Chen, this hard work!" ”

Chen Dakang said with a smile: "How dare you say that you are working hard for the adult?" ”

"Here, let's come in and talk." Lian Zining walked into the study first.

beckoned Chen Dakang to sit down, the maid served tea, and Lian Zining said solemnly: "This time I will call you back." It's important. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Qin Cha has already arrived in Zhenyuan Mansion, this time. One is to reward the reward, and the other is to supervise the war. Although our Wu Yijun is not afraid of him or anything. It's just that this White Lotus Sect is also something we must suppress, and this matter must not be discussed. ”

Lian Zining said in a deep voice: "You were ordered to guard the Black Wood Cliff and prevent the Jin Kingdom from going south, and you have a great responsibility, but this time, the White Lotus Sect is powerful, and we must also do our best to deal with it." Among them, it is even more disturbing the forces of Amin Yu and Yang Xuezhong, if we are not careful, we will also suffer heavy losses, and we have to prevent it, so you must also do your part. ”

"You've been appointed as a general of the Second Army, do you know?"

"I already know." Chen Dakang said gratefully: "I haven't thanked you yet. ”

"Excuse me, you deserve it, thank me for what I did. You have been following this officer for several years, and you have experienced all the great wars. If you don't give you a reward, won't it make you feel cold? ”

Lian Zining waved his hand and said: "The Second Army has the Second Guard and the Twenty-seventh Guard, this time when you go back." Bring the twenty-seventh guard, and in addition, I will give you another 10,000 Jurchen slave soldiers. These 10,000 Jurchen slave soldiers plus the twenty-seventh guard, something happened. It is enough to use. After you go back, you arrange the defense, and you have to come out with the elite of the second guard. There are other uses. ”

Chen Dakang listened to the clouds and mountains and mist, but he understood that the meaning of the adult seemed to be to let himself lead people to withdraw from the Black Wood Cliff for other purposes, but he did not show how to act.

He said cautiously: "This, my lord, mark the specific way to act, can you show it?" ”

"Don't worry, you have to wait for someone to come, I'll talk to you both." Lian Zining smiled slightly, and raised his voice: "Nurhachi has arrived?" ”

Outside, Chen Tong's voice sounded: "If you go back to your lordship, you have already arrived and are waiting outside the door." ”

"Call him in."

After a while, outside the door, Nurhachi invited in, Lian Zining agreed, the door was pushed open, Nurhachi walked in, and he was quite surprised when he saw Chen Dakang. There was a sudden rush of excitement in his heart, with his understanding of Lian Zining, calling himself over at this time, something big must have happened.

"I've seen my lord!" Nurhachi saluted Lian Zining, and nodded to Chen Dakang.

Lian Zining said slowly: "Coming to you this time is another big deal. It is inevitable that we will start a war with the White Lotus Sect, and we must take precautions. ”

He walked to the front of the large map hanging on the wall on the side of the study, first pointed his finger on Zhenyuan Mansion, then moved slowly, crossed the Songhua River, went all the way to the northwest, and finally fixed in the northwest of Zhenyuan Mansion, about 600 miles away from Baiying Gorge.

Nurha's red eyes shrank: "Bahulu? ”

He remembers this place vividly.

"That's right, it's Ba Hulu." Lian Zining nodded and said: "Three days later, Chen Dakang led the 27th Guard back to Heimu Cliff, and you led the Second Cavalry Army under your command, carrying baggage and a month's grain and grass, to Bahulu to hide. Remember, you must look for a hidden place, and no one will find out, you know? ”

Nurha said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will be absolutely careful. ”

"Well, there are a lot of mountains and forests over there, and it's convenient to hide them, so you have to guard against the local native tribes, so don't miss your whereabouts." Lian Zining groaned.

"Don't worry, sir!"

The corners of Nurha's mouth twitched slightly: "If you see anything, you will kill them all." ”

"Hmm." Lian Zining nodded, and the fate of those innocent tribes was decided between the two of them talking and laughing.

This is war, iron-blooded, cold and hard, and there is no room for negligence and soft-heartedness.

Lian Zining said to Chen Dakang again: "You go back to Heimu Cliff, and after arranging the defense, you will immediately bring people to Bahulu to meet." ”

Chen Dakang was a little embarrassed: "However, the mark belongs to all the pawns!" ”

"That's right, it's to use your footmen." Lian Zining said in a deep voice: "This official only asks you, is there a problem when you rush to Bahulu within fifteen days?" ”

Chen Dakang calculated in his heart that arriving at Bahulu within fifteen days meant that his infantry would have to march for at least eight hours a day, which was not something that ordinary people could complete, and he just wanted to say that it was too difficult, but suddenly saw Lian Zining's eyes.

Chen Dakang was shocked in his heart.

He suddenly recalled in his mind his performance in the Qileniwei strategy battle, it was because of his conservative and momentary carelessness in that battle that he failed to resist He Yunyan's tiger and leopard cavalry, thus making the army unfinished. It was in that battle. caused himself to fall behind Xiong Tingbi and fall behind to others. One step behind, one step behind. This time, if it weren't for the fact that I was old enough to be qualified, and the adults cared about the old feelings, I was afraid that they would have no business of their own.

Adults have given themselves a chance, do they want to push them away again?

He gritted his teeth and said, "The last general has made a military order to the lord, if you can't arrive within ten days, the lord will ask for the head of the last general!" ”

"This is the Chen Dakang I know! Jiang Gui's sex. Old and strong. Lian Zining laughed and patted Chen Dakang's shoulder heavily.

"Just." Chen Dakang said: "The twenty-seventh guard must leave as soon as possible." ”

"No problem." Lian Zining said: "This official will give you an order, and you can go straight to the barracks to transfer people." ”

"Now, let's talk about the battle plan."

Lian Zining walked to the front of the map: "You are stationed in Bahulu, and when the time comes, the official will give you orders, once you receive the order, you will join forces, with Chen Dakang as the main and Nurhachi as the auxiliary." Go south and take this place! ”

Lian Zining's fingers poked heavily at a point.

When Nurhachi and Chen Dakang looked at the place names marked there, their eyes immediately straightened.

The two of them glanced at each other, and a thought flashed in their hearts: soldiers. Sophistry!

This sentence is really not bad at all, adults use soldiers, it is really like a ghost. It's impossible to guess!

If this move is right, the whole battlefield will really come alive.

———————— Dividing Line————————

Chen Dakang only went home to look at his wife and children, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. After a lunch, I didn't even sleep for a while before I set off again.

There were few people when he came. The line was quite large when I left.

This time, he left with not only the 27th Guard, which belonged to the Second Army, but also an artillery 100 household under the jurisdiction of Nurhachi's Cavalry Second Army and the Artillery Thousand Households of the Pro-Battalion.

It is said that it is a hundred households, but as a 'Praetorian Guard' unit under the pro-military camp, such a hundred households has more than 500 people and more than 100 cannons, and all of them are medium-sized Franc machine guns.

They carried a large amount of strategic materials such as grain and grass, lead bullets, artillery shells, gunpowder, animal tendons, bows and arrows, and horns, which were not only enough for several months of marching, but also able to support several battles of considerable scale.

Tens of thousands of troops left the north gate of the town's Yuanfu and marched westward.

Lian Zining stood in the north gate tower, watching the army form a long dragon, the troops in front had disappeared at the end of sight, and the back was still in the city.

These tens of thousands of troops will go west to Lingyidu, and then cross the river north there, each heading forward.

King Liang stood beside him and sighed softly: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone......"

"Well, don't say it well." Lian Zining interrupted him: "My Wu Yijun is not Jing Ke Qin Wuyang, and the White Lotus Sect is not Qin Wang Yingzheng, these strong men have to come back at least eighty percent of this battle to be considered not in vain, otherwise, it is a big loss." ”

After getting along this morning, the two are also familiar with each other, and they talk a lot more casually.

King Liang also knew that he was speechless, and he was not angry, so he covered it with a smile, and said with a smile: "This king has not urged you to go to the White Lotus Sect, Wu Yibo is so fast." ”

Lian Zining glanced at him: "It's not all for Your Highness, this White Lotus Sect is a big trouble after all, it's always good to calm down early." The lower officials are now sending troops, and His Royal Highness can reply to the imperial court, saying that Wu Yijun has moved and can be like a saint. But ......"

There was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "The ones who are setting off now are just strange soldiers, and the real army will have to wait for some days!" ”

"How long will it take?" King Liang frowned slightly.

"It's not for sure, we have to see the news from the spies." Lian Zining shook his head: "I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while." If the enemy does not move, I will not move. ”

"The enemy is not moving? I don't move? ”

King Liang chewed on this sentence thoughtfully.

"Shi Dazhu, pass my orders!" Lian Zining suddenly turned around and shouted.

"Mark it in."

"Immediately send an order, in the name of the commander of Nuer Gandu, order General Jianzhou, General Asujiang, and General Liaobei to set off immediately, go to Zhenyuan Mansion to discuss important matters, and must arrive within fifteen days, if there is a delay, military law will be engaged!" Lian Zining commanded with a calm face.

Shi Dazhu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Obey the order!" ”

After saying that, he strode down the city wall and instructed the people below to draw up orders.

After Lian Zining received the holy decree. Along with it, there was also the seal letter of the commander of the Nuer Gandu, and he only needed to draw up an order to find him to use the seal.

"You let the three of them come?"

King Liang glanced at Lian Zining. He was very puzzled and said: "Wu Yibo, forgive this king for speaking bluntly." Although you are now the commander of Nu'er Gandu and the top boss of the three generals, your qualifications are too shallow after all. General Jianzhou is the general of Jizhen is transferred, according to which the official position has been more than ten years, and he is still leading the title of governor of the Left Army, General Asujiang, these two are veterans of more than 30 years in the army, it would be good if you relaxed your wording. But the wording is so drastic, and military law is often involved......"

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's strange that they can buy your account." ”

And Yang Xuezhong is trapped in a lonely city. There's no way to come, can you? Lian Zining smiled indifferently and picked up King Liang's words.

"Why do you know it?"

"Haha, His Royal Highness King Liang has a heart, but the mountain people have their own clever plans." Lian Zining refused to say anything, he blinked, and suddenly asked, "Your Highness has the heart to go to the countryside for a walk?" ”

"Country?" King Liang was stunned.

Outside the Zhenyuan Mansion, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the fields are fertile for thousands of miles.

Here it was years ago. It was still a wilderness, and after being swept away by the Jurchen army like locusts, the villages were in ruins and the crops were destroyed. The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. It's like a ghost.

The arrival of Wu Yijun completely changed the face of this place.

After the first migration of more than 100,000 people from various places, in the past year or two. 300,000 people moved from here to fill the periphery of Zhenyuanfu.

There is fertile land in the Northeast. And the area around Zhenyuan Mansion is a fertile land that has not been cultivated much, and it is all borderless land. Lian Zining distributed it at will, so the general office yamen was also extraordinarily generous. According to the ancient system of the Wei and Jin dynasties, each male strong man was given 70 acres of land, and each sturdy woman was given 50 acres of land.

Three or five hundred households in a village, according to the area they are divided, they are relocated there, forming a pattern of three or five miles of one village.

Now within a radius of more than 100 miles around Zhenyuanfu, it is already like a prosperous area in Guannai, with forty or fifty small towns and hundreds of villages. These towns are very prosperous, there are many shops on them, merchants come and go, most of them are some mainland merchants who live here, buy all kinds of curiosities along the north of the river, and transport them to the southern boundary, and some of the ones with great energy are taking the line to the Guannai.

Lian Zining did not stop it, but set up a special department of commerce to encourage commercial trade and improve the status of merchants. Of course, there is no mercy in imposing a commercial tax.

The spring ploughing work in the entire Songhua River territory has basically ended, last year's spring sowing seeds still need to be distributed by the general office of the yamen, this year is not gone, every household is left enough to use the grain seeds, now the field has grown less than half a foot long green corn seedlings, the wind blows, lush and green, it is gratifying.

A warm wind blows, the green seedlings rise and fall like waves, and there is a cry of chickens and ducks in the village not far away, mixed with the laughter of children and the laughter of adults.

A place of abundance and happiness, no one could have imagined that at this time two years ago, the Jurchen army was galloping here, and at that time, it was still a desolate and desolate place.

Wu Yijun started almost from scratch and turned this place into a paradise of peace and prosperity.

A group of people and horses slowly walked on the road, about 100 elite knights with armor and horses and armor surrounded more than a dozen men and women riding fine horses and dressed luxuriously. When some of the pedestrians and merchants who were in a hurry saw this team, they quickly avoided the roadside, and some of the timid ones also kowtowed a few times on the roadside to show respect.

This group of people is Lian Zining and his party.

After Nurhachi and Chen Dakang led the army north, he returned to the house and told him, that is, he took King Liang and others out of the mansion and went straight to his own grange, but in the name of a spring outing.

This time, there were not many people, and only King Liang and a few of his attendants were served. Lian Zining was on his own side, and he only went to the Senate to inform Hong Chaojiao. But even Amber and Yang Ming'er didn't bring it.

After leaving the mansion, when he remembered Amber's smiling eyes when he left, Lian Zining felt a little weak - this Nizi is too fine now. Seems to know what he's going to do!

King Liang wore a green satin suit, lined with his sturdy figure, handsome with a heroic spirit. The Wanrong people around him also undressed and changed into women's clothes, all of them looked beautiful, but the knights of the Wuyi Army around him didn't squint, and they didn't even look here.

The spring afternoon sun is soft and sloppy, shining through the shade of the big trees on the roadside, and shining on people's faces. The mottled points of light are reflected, making people a little dizzy and lazy.

King Liang's body swayed with the big green horse under his crotch, and he seemed to be about to fall asleep, very leisurely and lazy.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Wanrong's slender and powerful legs clamped the horse's belly, and he leaned over to King Liang'er and whispered.

"Huh? Oh? What's wrong? King Liang opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at Wanrong: "Oh, Wanrong, what's wrong?" ”

He yawned profusely as he spoke.

"Your Majesty! How can you do this! Cui Wanrong said angrily: "Let's go down to the dangerous place." The road ahead is still unknown, so why aren't you worried at all? And the heart to sleep, you, can you really sleep? ”

"Oh. That's what you say? King Liang yawned again, and said with a nonchalant face: "What is there to worry about?" ”

"You're not worried?" Wanrong's eyes widened: "From the moment we arrived at Zhenyuan Mansion, the outside of the post house was surrounded by soldiers. Except for us, no one will be allowed out, who knows what Wu Yijun has in mind? ”

"It doesn't matter what he had." King Liang smiled faintly. Then the smile on his face was retracted, and he said lightly: "What's the use of thinking about it?" We're on Wu Yijun's territory now. If Wu Yibo wants to be unfavorable to us, it's just a matter of one sentence, he has the courage and the strength, you just think about it more. What's the use? ”

Wanrong couldn't help but be stunned.

King Liang showed a slight flirtatious smile on his face: "Besides, you have to have some confidence in me, right?" If we cooperate with Wu Yibo, we will benefit both sides, and divide them will do two harms, how can he be so short-sighted? ”

As he spoke, he pinched Wanrong's face.

"Your Majesty, you ......" Wanrong Junxiu's face turned red all of a sudden, and she took a low sip.

"Ahem." King Liang pretended to cough, glanced around, and saw that no one was paying attention Fang Zi smiled, and pointed to the ground under his feet: "If you have that idle mind, why don't you take a look more, take a look more, you can see a lot of good things in this northeast." ”

The pavement is cement, four feet wide, very wide and bright, the gray pavement mixed with cement and sand is smooth and straight, and the horseshoe is stepping on it, but it makes a sound of squeezing, and even the white mark can not be left.

This road is twenty-four miles long, leading directly from the west gate to Lian Zining's manor, needless to say, it is naturally built by the officials of the Highway Department to understand the intentions of the above. At present, there are two cement roads in the territory of Wu Yijun, one leads to Lingyidu, and the other is this.

As one of the 'image projects' under Lian Zining's nose, it is naturally built very well, the foundation is dug very deep, and the materials used are sufficient.

King Liang sighed: "When I looked at the cement in the Ordnance Bureau this morning, I didn't think it was a big deal, but now it seems that it is enough to change the world!" Use this thing to build houses, roads, and walls. You see, driving on a horse in these conditions requires at least a forty percent increase in speed. ”

He sighed: "There are a lot of good things under this Wu Yibo's hands, so I have to take a look." ”

On the other side, Lian Zining pointed to the road under his feet and said with a smile: "Shi Kai, you have done a good job. ”

The reason why Shi Kai invested a lot of money in this meaningless road was just to fight for the words of adults? Although he is not good at drilling, he does not know the way to be an official from time to time.

Busy smiled and said humbly: "My lord praised it falsely, my lord has allocated so much money, if you can't make a look like it under the mark, you really should die." ”

"You can't die, you're going to die, who will build the highway for this official?" Lian Zining laughed.

Everyone laughed along.

After a while, Lian Zining asked, "How is the preparation of the official for the thing you are focusing on?" ”

Shi Kaidao: "Seventy percent has been prepared, and now Lord Xiazi Kaixia has already taken 30,000 Jurchen soldiers to Songhua Jiangnan to assemble, a large number of various materials, machinery and equipment, and craftsmen from the Mining Supervision Bureau have also arrived, just wait for the army to give orders, and they can immediately cross the river with it." ”

"Hmm." Lian Zining nodded: "Li Tie also came to say yesterday that the people from MI6 have found a lot of limestone mines over there, and it is very convenient to take materials." (To be continued.) )
