Xie Hong's trip was delayed for more than a month, and when he traveled all the way south back to Jinzhou, southern Liaoning and most areas in central Liaoning had already vigorously launched reclamation and spring ploughing operations. 【】

It is not entirely true that arable land depends on animal power, otherwise there would be no such thing as making cattle and horses. The lack of animal power has forced many farmers to play the role of cattle and horses, and the hardship is not inferior to that of cattle and horses, but the efficiency is far from good.

However, the Jianzhou Sweep led by Xie Hong and carried out by Yang Haoran and Crow was carried out with great results. Although Yang Haoran's soldiers and horses had not all been recovered by the time Xie Hong returned, the livestock and materials transported back in the early operation had greatly improved the situation in Liaozhen.

With the cooperation of the heavy generals of Liaozhen, most of the craftsmen in the army have gathered in Jinzhou, and Liaoyang, as well as iron ore near Fushun Pass further north, is also continuously transported to Jinzhou.

The Jinzhou side is also in full swing, except for a few senior craftsmen who are busy with the tasks assigned by Xie Hong, the rest of them are all engaged in the production of new farm tools. With the import of various resources, clusters of newly shiny farm tools have also been transported to all parts of southern Liaoning, showing their skills in the fields.

In March of the second year of Zhengde, the great development of Liaodong has begun to show its grandeur.

In the pioneering action, it was not completely without obstacles, and in southern Liaoning, where local forces were mixed, there was indeed a lot of noise at the beginning. However, under the appearance of Qi Cheng, the commander of Jinzhou Wei, these people quickly saw the prospects and rich rewards.

And in the folk, Xie Hong sent Zhao Yu to southern Liaoning to teach the use of new farm tools, under the appearance of this fanatical follower, the folk soon also boiled, people are shaking up their spirits, working hard in the fields, looking forward to a better tomorrow.

"Well, wait until next year, Liaodong will be completely in our hands." What he saw along the way made Xie Hong very satisfied.

King, why bother? With the bond of interests, the people and the original local forces have been firmly tied to his chariot. And through the demonstration of Qi Cheng, Zhao Yu and other pioneers, support will be further sublimated into fanaticism, and in the back, eighty percent will become blind worship, so that even if Han Fu and others regret it, they will be powerless to return to the sky.

And Xie Hong didn't think that Han Fu would have that kind of thought, in fact, except for Liaoxi, the interests of the generals in Liaodong were also tied to him.

Especially Yang Haoran of Liaoyang, he mobilized all the elites of Liaoyang to cooperate with the crows to attack, in fact, this can be regarded as a vote. After experiencing this, he has completely become Xie Hong's person, just like Jiang Bin and others.

The military is inherently a violent institution, and with the exception of the modern armies of later generations, which can basically strictly observe military discipline, even in the twentieth century, massacres and plundering are common.

For the Liaozhen border army, which has not yet begun to degenerate, going to Jianzhou is simply a free trip, yes, it is the honeymoon that the governor's subordinates said. To say that the governor is a star monarch? Any word you can think of is so appropriate, for the border army, the January tour of Jianzhou is the same as happiness.

The enemy is very weak, there is no restraint from the officials, except for the cattle and sheep grain to be handed over, as a military canton, the rest of the things are arbitrary, can the border soldiers not be happy?

Yang Haoran himself was also enjoying it, and the sergeants under his command were tired of it, and Mao Lun's subordinates, who later switched to Liaoyang to guard it, were very envious, and complained a lot about the sluggishness of his own commander.

Under the guidance of the border army under the command of the crow, the border army in Liaoyang and southern Liaoning soon formed a concept similar to that of the people, that is, following the champion Hou will have meat to eat, and the tighter he follows, the more fragrant and spicy he can eat.

In such a situation, in fact, Xie Hong has basically controlled the situation in Liaodong, Han Fu is an acquaintance, maybe he is reluctant, but it is impossible to have any repetition at this time.

This day has arrived in the suburbs of Jinzhou, but a fast horse suddenly catches up behind the team, and the monkey goes up to inquire about it, and when he returns, he has an extra letter in his hand.

"Master Hou, there is a letter from Liaoyang, it was sent by General Mao Shen."

"Oh?" Xie Hong took the letter, swept it all the way, and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that Xie Hong was smiling a little strangely, the monkey couldn't help but ask, "Master Hou, but what's the change?" ”

"Well, it's about that patrolling Chen Shiliang......

Liaodong's development and Jianzhou sweep are extremely powerful, and it is impossible to keep secrets, except for the beginning of the play, Xie Hong did not take any confidentiality measures.

After the initial surprise, Chen Shiliang soon found out the news, and then he also performed in Liaoyang. Of course, his performances are all clichés, talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality and the like, in exchange for only indifferent eyes.

Cattle and horses fields, this is the real thing, benevolence and righteousness? There are so many Tartars, and they have plagued the Central Plains for so long, how can I see them being reformed?

Even the relatively honest Jianzhou Tartars did not harm people in the mountains and forests of Changbai Mountain, but many of the people near there suffered from it. In the past, no one cared about it, so where would the officials care about the lives and deaths of military households and criminal households? In their eyes, these people are no different from Tartars.

Whether it was in the people or in the officialdom, Chen Shiliang didn't get any response, and when he went to the governor's yamen to scold the street, he was beaten out again, and finally had to go back to the yamen to sobble secretly.

Of course, his duty is also resentful, and a report of the closure of the west has never been broken.

"It's this guy again," the monkey's eyes lit up fiercely, and there were words in his mouth: "Master Hou, if you want me to say, you should kill him, well, you can send him to Jianzhou to kill, and then say that he was killed by Jianzhou Tartars, so that we have one more name." ”

How did I wipe it, how did I learn to frame these guys? It's not that my brother brought them badly, it's that they originally had this surname. Xie Hong cleared two sentences in his stomach, and then smiled leisurely:

"The Jianzhou Tartars are slippery, they sent a person who understands Chinese to infiltrate Liaoyang, and then took the patrol there, Chen Shiliang's guy is also cautious, and he actually summoned a team of cavalry from Liaoxi to escort the Tartar into Beijing, Brother Hou, don't you say it's funny?"

"So what do we do? Do you want to cut him off? "The monkey was a little nervous. The Ming Dynasty has never compromised with other races, but it is mainly aimed at the active provocation of the Mongols, such as Jianzhou and Duoyan Sanwei, but they are very tolerant, and even take the initiative to restrain the border army from clashing with the other party.

When you are strong, you are not weak, and you are not bullied when you are weak, this concept of inner king and outer saint is very good for personal self-cultivation, and it can be used in diplomacy, it can only be described as an idiot, at least that's what Xie Hong thinks.

Recently, the monkey has been following Xie Hong, and Ma Ang has questioned Xie Hong from time to time those half-understood Confucian concepts, and the result is of course refuted one by one, but the monkey has fully understood Xie Hong's concept and kept it in mind.

The reason is very idiotic, but those scholars and doctors in the court are all regarded as classics, with this witness and his crying, most of the people in the capital are going to set off a wave, recalling the experience in the capital, and the monkey can't help but panic.

Xie Hongyun waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "More things are better than less, killing him can't keep a secret, not to mention that I just want him to report to the capital, the more eager he says, the better, the bigger the matter, the better." ”

"Huh?" The monkey's jaw almost fell, even if he didn't mention the serious surname of the consequences, but just over a month ago, didn't you still say that you wanted to keep it secret? Why has it changed now?

"Master Hou, but there is ...... over there in the capital"

"Actually, this time, we can be regarded as attacking the west, originally I planned to use Tuntian to cover the opening of the port and shipbuilding, but now it seems that it is better to use the Jianzhou file as a cover. The second brother has been lonely for a long time, and this time it is just for him to show his skills, just practicing and playing baseball all day long, how boring is it? I've found something for him to do. ”

Facing the warm spring breeze, Xie Hong opened his arms comfortably and closed his eyes, looking very enjoyable.

"Let them toss in the capital, the longer they toss, the better, in two months, it's a good time to set sail, and then ......"

The monkey was dumbfounded, looking for something to do for the emperor? Let him fight the courtiers? The emperor will definitely not be grateful to you, Hou Ye ......, "Xie Hong!" ”

At the last moment, Xie Hong was still proud of the spring breeze, but the oncoming loud cheer broke this harmony. Since he came out of the customs, Xie Hong has not heard anyone call him by his name for a long time, and Lord Hou and Lord are the names that others call him.

But he is not surprised, he is very familiar with this voice, although Liaodong is big, he dares to confront himself head-on, and his attitude is not very polite, and there is only Wang Shouren.

"Brother Bo'an, don't come here for a long time?" Xie Hong greeted him with a smile, "In the spring, the weather is dry and dry, and the fire is also great, even a character like Brother Bo'an can't be exempted, which really makes people sigh at the work of heaven and earth." ”

"Xie Hong, I only ask you, is the founding of the state true?" Wang Shouren had a cold face, completely ignored Xie Hong's nonsense, and asked bluntly.

"Indeed." Xie Hong was blunt.

"When you say the right answer, is it possible that you have already made up your mind?" Wang Shouwen's tone was even colder.

"Well, it's a little earlier, probably before I left Beijing." Xie Hong's smile widened.

"Then I ask you, how is this difference between you and a Tartar captive in killing them and taking them captive? If it is not a beast that has offended you, you will repay it with the act of a beast? How are you different from beasts? ”

Wang Shouren's words were already very excessive, not only Xie Hong's entourage, but even the people who were farming in the fields raised their heads and glared at Wang Shouren angrily. Although they also admired Wang Shouren, for the scholar who represented the champion Hou, they pinned their fanatical support for Hou Ye.

"Of course not." Xie Hong said: "Brother Bo'an, I also ask you, what happened to the Tartars who plundered the Central Plains?" ”

"......" Wang Shouren hesitated slightly.

Xie Hong didn't wait for him to answer, and said to himself: "It's nothing more than that they are poor, but they are too lazy to cultivate and produce, and they are only willing to follow the example of the beasts, otherwise with my magnanimity in China, why not give them a chance?" Whether it is attached or sporadically entering the side wall, can the people of the Ming Dynasty shout at them and kill them, and not give them a way to live? ”

"And I sent the border army soldiers to captivate Jianzhou, in order to tide over the current difficulties, to open up the fertile land of Liaodong, to seek benefits for the border towns, and for the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can I be confused with the behavior of those beasts? Sincere heart, heaven and earth can be learned, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is burdened with a lifetime of notoriety, why should I Xie Hong be afraid? ”

"Good!"

"Well said!"

Xie Hong's subordinates all shouted loudly.

Xie Hong smiled and said: "Besides, it's not that I haven't left them a way to live, before the great integration of the nation, there must always be a process of labor reform, if you don't get rid of the kind of surname that only wants to be temporary, does not consider the long-term, and likes to work hard, how can they integrate into Chinese civilization?" ”

"Well, since you have made up your mind, then Wang Mou will also say all this, you can do it yourself." Wang Shouren let out a long sigh and walked away, but before leaving, he glanced in the direction of Maang, and his eyes were very meaningful.
