―――――――― Dividing Line――――――

When the army returned to Zhenyuan Mansion, it was another welcome not to mention.

At this time, it was only noon, and naturally it was not the point for a banquet, so the officers and soldiers dispersed and waited until the evening to hold a banquet.

Only Shi Dazhu led the personal guards to escort Lian Zining back to the General's Mansion.

When I returned to the general's mansion, I saw that the inside and outside of the general's mansion were also full of lights, beaming with joy, and the archway on the door was decorated with red cloth, and even the eyes of the two big stone lions at the door were covered with red cloth, and the trouble was the same as doing a happy event. The servants of the outer house were all wearing new clothes, lined up in a neat queue, and waited outside the mansion gate, and when they saw Lian Zining coming back, they knelt down with a big salute, and said in unison: "The little (slave maid) welcomes the uncle back to the house!" ”

Amber naturally didn't want to show up, so she only waited in the inner house.

Thinking that he would see Amber later, Lian Zining was also in a happy mood, and ordered a person to see the reward, five taels of silver.

The inner house has its own capable guards, and Lian Zining gave Shi Dazhu and a group of soldiers a holiday, and this guy brought the little daughter-in-law he married in Leling County to settle down here, and he didn't see him for a long time, so he was naturally very anxious, and he sued for a crime, and left in a hurry. Lian Zining glanced at it with a smile, then dismounted and entered the mansion surrounded by a group of slaves.

Soon, at the door of the back house, Lian Zining saw Amber.

She is wearing a goose-yellow gown today, with big sleeves, which is very graceful and luxurious, showing the demeanor of a lady.

Beside her, Lian Zining was very surprised to see another woman.

This woman was born of great beauty. He was dressed in a long skirt of lake green, with a biko on the outside, long black hair hanging down to the hips, tied with a gold ring in the shape of a flower branch, with a wipe on his forehead, and a small piece of red agate on the front.

People are like jade, and jade is fragrant. This woman is physical. There is a little shadow of Qinglan, but in terms of appearance alone, it is more than a step stronger than Qinglan.

And it's a lot stronger than amber. Among the dozens of women in the inner house, Lian Zining glanced at it and talked about her appearance alone. Definitely she is number one.

"Who is this?" Lian Zining couldn't help but feel amazed in his heart, but he was in a trance in his heart, and he didn't remember who this woman was for a while.

It took a while to wake up, and remembered that this girl was not Yang Ming'er sent by the Yang family of Xuanchengwei?

After looking at Yang Ming'er, he suddenly had some fever in his lower abdomen.

Yang Ming'er has been paying attention to Lian Zining's gaze, and first saw a confusion flashing in Lian Zining's eyes, and her heart suddenly felt a little sad. It's just that this year is just a flash in my heart, thinking of the things that the family elders told me before I came. Suddenly, his heart was excited, and when he saw Lian Zining's somewhat hot eyes, he was happy again, and he smiled at Lian Zining.

Amber saw Lian Zining's gaze turn on Yang Ming'er, and her heart was a little surprised. However, she is an extremely intelligent woman, of course, she will not show it, and she also understands that no matter who she is, she cannot replace her position in the master's heart, and this is enough.

Amber bowed. With a smile on his face: "The concubine has seen the master!" Congratulations on the triumphant return of the master. ”

Following her, Yang Ming'er and the maidservants in the inner house also saluted: "The slave has seen the master." Congratulations on the triumphant return of the master. ”

Lian Zining had a big heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's get up!" ”

He also realized that it seemed a little inappropriate for him to stare at Yang Ming'er, so he stepped forward, grabbed Amber's hand, and said, "I'm not here these days, and the inner house is thanks to you." ”

With such intimacy in public, Amber was obviously very shy, and her face immediately turned red, but she enjoyed the master's favor very much in her heart, so she didn't struggle, and responded: "This is all the concubine's share." ”…,

Lian Zining smiled, took out an extremely delicate box, opened the box, but inside was an extremely delicate golden step, bent into the shape of a phoenix with gold, with a mansion under it, a flute in front, and nine flowers. The edge of the step is made into the appearance of a lack of flower branches, extremely delicate and elegant, there are nine tassels, and the tassels are also twisted into the shape of a golden flower vine, with flowers and leaves on it, and even if you look carefully, you can also find that there are a few bees and grasshoppers on it, these bees and grasshoppers are carved from topaz and green jade, lifelike, like living creatures.

And at the junction of the step, it is decorated with more than 100 pearls, these pearls are not big, but the quality is excellent, the color is also excellent, obviously not ordinary.

Such a golden step shake, gorgeous and precious to the extreme, can really be called a rare treasure!

All the women present had bright eyes, and as women, seeing shiny things naturally couldn't do without their eyes, not to mention that this object was so delicate and gorgeous, their eyes seemed to be glued to it.

Lian Zining put Bu Shao in Amber's hand and said with a smile: "After sweeping the Haixi Jurchens, I always got a lot of good things, but this Bu Shao is specially reserved for you." ”

Women are all about to be coaxed, and when he gets his heart, Amber is overjoyed, and she accepts it with a smile.

Lian Zining thought about it, and took out a box again, but inside this box was a bracelet, he took the bracelet and walked to Yang Ming'er. Yang Ming'er's heart suddenly tightened, nervous and excited, Lian Zining took her hand, put the jade bracelet in her hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "This is yours." ”

Yang Ming'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked and accepted it, when Lian Zining took her hand back, she gently scratched Lian Zining's palm with her little finger, this gentle touch made Lian Zining's heart flutter, and she felt that this woman was really informed.

This bracelet is carved from extremely high-quality imperial green jadeite, and it is also very rare and precious, but everyone present can see that this grade is more than a step worse than the golden step just now. They immediately understood who was the biggest in this back house.

Lian Zining's intention is exactly like this.

He glanced at the envious eyes of the maids. smiled: "This time the harvest is quite rich, there are a lot of rare jewelry, all of them are included in the inner treasury, and when it comes to the evening, they all come to Mrs. to receive it." ”

The maids were overjoyed and thanked.

Amber knew that this was the old man making a face for himself, and she was also grateful in her heart.

Floating outside for so long. Lian Zining also felt extremely comfortable when he went home, and he was returning from the starry night to Fuyuwei. I haven't taken a shower for several days, and even Zining seems to be able to smell the smell of sweat on my body. Let everyone disperse and go to the bathroom to take a shower. It's lunch. There were only two people at lunch, he and Amber, and even Ye Nai didn't bother him, a lunch, all of which were home-cooked dishes, but the food was extremely warm, just like an ordinary folk couple, and they were happy.

After eating, he didn't even sleep, so Lian Zining was busy again.

He hadn't been back for a long time, and there were so many things he had to deal with.

A series of things made him a little busy.

First things to do. It was to recruit the old and dignified clerk, and then wrote a recital, but this time the content of the recital was a truthful report of the sneak attack on Fu Yuwei and a big victory over Fu Yuwei. Kill and burn a number of intelligence. To put it bluntly, it is the second letter of the recital, according to Lian Zining's calculation, with Emperor Zhengde's hatred for Duoyan Sanwei, this recital will go up, and the emperor will be happy. If you can't say it, you can reap many benefits. And he is a hundred sure that Zhengde must still be suspicious of his collusion with Fu Yuwei in the first place, and he gave Fu Yuwei a hard blow in this way, which can naturally eliminate this suspicion. …,

After the drafting and polishing of the chapter, it was immediately sent out, and as soon as the old clerk left, Xie Deqing, Wang Dachun, Shi Dazhu, Hong Chaojiao and others came.

"Lord Haojiao learned that the 20,000 old soldiers on the ground of the Tiger Forest and the 130,000 recruited recruits have been completely trained. The day before yesterday, the subordinate presided over the comprehensive assessment of them by the Recruits Department, and more than 90 percent of the recruits were fully qualified. In the past few months, our training intensity has been extraordinarily high, but these soldiers are all from crop men, hard-working, have never caused trouble, are very disciplined, and have a good body, and can always survive. The training of these days has been fruitful, and the top is the previous training for half a year. All qualified soldiers, except for the lack of combat experience, are no different from the soldiers of other guards. As for the remaining ones who have not qualified, it is planned that they will be transferred to logistics. I would like to ask my lord, what should be done with these soldiers, should they continue training, or? ”

After Xie Deqing finished reporting, he owed his body, looked at Lian Zining, and waited for his verdict.

This is the study of the General's Mansion, Lian Zining is sitting behind the desk, and everyone else is standing on his left hand. These seven or eight people in the study are the core of the entire Wu Yi Army and the most loyal part of Lian Zining, so Lian Zining did not let them come over one by one to report, but all listened. Having a holistic and direct understanding of the overall situation, rather than just caring about one's own one-third of an acre, can play a considerable role in improving the vision ability of these subordinates.

Lian Zining knocked on the table, muttered for a moment, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart.

He thought about it carefully for a while, and then he felt more and more that this idea was very feasible, in fact, he had already had this idea before, but until this moment, this idea became clear, how to use these recruits whose combat power was not very strong, and who had not seen blood yet, also took shape in his mind.

"Except for the absence of the fourth and tenth guards, there are now eleven guards in the palace, and each guard picks out two thousand old soldiers, scatters them among the recruits, and then replenishes two thousand recruits to each guard." Lian Zining thought for a while, and added: "Well, the sixth guard and the seventh guard are not necessary, only limited to the infantry guard." Then after the veterans arrived at the recruit department, your recruit department began to make a reasonable match for these recruits and veterans, build up the establishment at all levels, appoint temporary officers, and start to get them used to living and training under this system, understand? ”

Xie Deqing hurriedly responded: "Yes, the mark is understood, and it will definitely be done!" ”

Everyone present was awe-inspiring, and knew that if the adults acted like this, they must have to do one thing again - expand the army!

Veterans lead new recruits, set up a shelf system, and the officer system is also formed, as long as the most important officials are appointed, this guard will immediately form a combat effectiveness, and if you pull it out, you can fight!

Xie Deqing retreated, and then Shi Dazhu came up again and said, "My lord." The casualty figures have been tallied. ”

Lian Zining's face became a little heavier, and said, "Speak!" ”

Shi Dazhu's emotionless voice echoed in the study: "In the siege of the Jurchen and Mongols, our Wuyi army killed thirty-one people, seriously injured nineteen people, and slightly injured one hundred and three people. In the night attack on the Jurchen camp, our army killed 257 people and seriously wounded 350 people. 630 people were slightly injured. After the battle of the north, he successively conquered the cities of Salhu, Wensar, and Yehe, and our Wuyi army killed 360 people. 213 were seriously injured and 1,250 were lightly wounded. After that, the Jurchen Mongol army withdrew, and Liang Jialie, the fourth guard of our Wuyi Army, pursued and killed. Fifteen hundred cavalrymen, all killed, none survived. Later, there was a small battle between the Mongol Fuyuwei and our army under the city, and our army lost 170 people, 30 people were seriously wounded, and 179 people were slightly wounded. Later, there was a great victory over the Fuyuwei Guard, in which 139 cavalrymen were killed, 103 were seriously wounded, and 630 were lightly wounded. ”…,

After Shi Dazhu finished speaking, he stepped aside.

This heavy topic is thrown out. Immediately, the atmosphere in the study became very dull, and no one spoke, just looked at Lian Zining. Lian Zining also felt a little blocked in his heart, but Lian Zining is now, after all, it is different from before. Although it can't be seen as a number of soldiers, it has become much colder, so it's just a blockage in my heart.

And in all fairness, after this big battle and a series of battles, the losses of Wu Yi's army were really not much. Compared with the huge results of completely sweeping away the Haixi Jurchens and giving Fu Yuwei a blow to the head. Not to mention thousands of casualties, even if the casualties are ten times larger, it is acceptable!

"All the brothers who died in the war will be compensated according to the standards of our Wu Yi Army, and there can be no shortage of money! Dazhu, you write a letter to Liu Liangchen, and immediately send someone back to Guannei, most of our soldiers are from the three political envoys of Zhili, Henan, and Shandong, and ask him to send people to look for them carefully, if there are widows and parents, the money must be in their hands, and if there are those who are willing to go, they will move to the Invalids Farm! Many of the soldiers who died in the war were wild women's soldiers, and they should be treated equally, without the slightest discrimination, and all the money was distributed in one piece. In addition, if there is a male in the family who dies in battle, this year's tax will be exempted. ”

Lian Zining's gaze swept in front of everyone, and his tone suddenly became stern: "The matter of compassionate care is not the duty of one person, you will all be involved!" For you, I naturally trust you very much, but under your hands, not necessarily! I'll just leave it here, and after I go back, I'll keep an eye on it, if anyone dares to bend the law for personal gain in this matter, I'll peel his skin! ”

Everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, and they all shouted loudly.

"Liang Jialie, knowing that he will die, and not retreating from fighting to the death, is a model that all soldiers of my Wuyi Army should learn from! Greats! Lian Zining took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "If you remember well, Liang Jialie was a thousand households before, and the sixteenth rank was from the fifth grade, and he was a guerrilla general. Chase him as the commander of the guard, chase the title, from the three grades, General Yunlu! ”

Shi Dazhu responded one by one and said, "Mark it and do it." ”

After saying this, the atmosphere was a little heavy, but Wang Dachun stood up with a smile, arched his hand to Lian Zining, and said with a smile: "The dead are gone, we living people still have something happy, my lord, we are here to report good news to you." ”

Lian Zining raised his eyebrows: "But it's already been counted?" ”

"That's right!" Wang Dachun subconsciously rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "We have been counting since we came back, and when we returned to the house, we began to classify them, and we just finished it." It is roughly divided into four categories - the first category is antiques, calligraphy and paintings, the second category is jewelry, the third category is gold and silver, and the fourth category is mountain goods. These things have all been included in the inner treasury, according to the estimation under the mark, if those valuable jewelry, calligraphy and paintings can be sent to the capital for trafficking, the total value, at least this number! ”

He stretched out a finger and gestured: "Ten million taels!" ”

Then he added: "Lay the foundation!" ”

There was a gasp in the room, and the number was too large and too far away for them to know what the money meant.

Lian Zining has long been accustomed to starting with large sums of money and then spending them, so he doesn't feel anything special, on the contrary, this is the savings of the Haixi Jurchens for decades, and it would be strange if it was too little.

"That's just right. Some time ago, someone from the capital sent a letter. I took a caravan and transported a lot of scarce materials from our side, and there were always hundreds of carts, and after settling the accounts for those goods, I let them pull these goods back to the capital to sell. Didn't you say that the last time we pulled over those mountain goods, old ginseng and the like, they were sold very well? There are so many rich people in Daming Pass, this thing is in short supply at all. But there is no need for antiques or anything, there are quite some origins in it, if they flow out. It's also troublesome. The gold and silver were also left behind, and only the jewels and mountain goods were transported. ”…,

Lian Zining commanded.

Wang Dachun responded and retreated.

The next one to come out of the list was Hong Chaojiao. Lian Zining hadn't seen him for a few days, but he saw that Lao Hong had obviously lost a lot, and the majestic body when he was separating one side was now very thin, obviously he was tired a lot during this time, but those eyes were very energetic.

He was also extremely hard, not to mention the previous organization and dispersal of peasants and other matters, and then Lian Zining led the troops to the north, and all political affairs were all pressed on his shoulders. These days, he is the most tired person in the entire Zhenyuan Mansion.

Lian Zining smiled: "Lao Hong, these days are still thanks to you. ”

"What are you talking about, sir?" Hong Chaojiao looked a little grateful and said: "My lord led the troops to conquer the northern country, and what he did was for the great cause of the world, and I will wait behind to take care of government affairs." It's just the job, but I don't dare to say that I'm tired. The lower officials do have some things to say, and these lower officials don't dare to make up their own minds. ”

Lian Zining said: "You speak." ”

Hong Chaojiao cleared his throat and said, "The first thing to be said is a happy event. At present, there are a total of 12 county-level areas under the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang, namely Xishenwei, Mangjita City, Yaoqi Station, Wuzhi Yuyemusuo, Qileniwei, Kaolang Wuwei, Kemuwei, Zhafei Hewei, Xuanchengwei, Futiwei, Tongjiangcheng, and Suli Hewei; Other than that. The great city of Zhubang still retains the establishment of the prefecture level, and there are five counties below, namely Zhubang Station, Anling City, Towin City, Tolunwei, and Fusi Muwei. There are 17 counties, 1,136,150 households, 5,677,654 households, 1,053,400 hectares of cultivated land, and 890,000 head of cattle. Two-and-a-half of these fields are made up of corn, and the rest is wheat. ”

Speaking of this, Hong Chaojiao's expression was very excited: "Now that the autumn grain has matured, many people have begun to harvest, hehe, don't hide it from your lord, you said that the yield of corn per mu of land can reach four stones, and you don't believe it very much, but now you believe it." The mark has already been explored, but where the ground where corn is planted, there are not a few with a yield of about four stones, and it is the least, and it is also more than three stones! ”

He sighed: "This corn is really a divine thing, it is the best watered ground in the pass, and it is already excellent to produce two stones per acre of land, so they can plant two crops a year and not as good as our one season a year." With this grain, farmers are doing better this year. ”

Lian Zining waved his hand: "This is nothing, think that the land of Annan, Hainan, Guangdong, produces three seasons of rice a year, and many can even reach four seasons, one acre of land and one season is six stones of raw grain, and three stones of rice are beaten down, compared with them, we are nothing." ”

"We are in the bitter cold land outside the border, but we don't dare to compare with the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River." Hong Chaojiao smiled: "Also, my lord, what you expected is really not bad, Zhang Xiju and Zhang Meizhong, the big city of Zhubang, respectively sent fast horses to report, saying that after the news that the corn line is about to mature, a large number of caravans in the customs have come, there are hundreds of caravans tens of thousands of people, and the war on our side a while ago was piled up on the side of the big city of Zhubang, and the follow-up caravans are still coming." Hehe, now the trade road on the east bank of the Songhua River can be said to be full of smells and rubbing shoulders! ”

"That's a good thing! According to my calculations, most of these caravans came from the left side of Jizhen in Shanxi, and they came here to transport military rations to fill the border in exchange for salt from the government and the opposition. But since they have come, they must not only buy grain, they will definitely be able to calculate that our peasants will buy other things when they have money on hand after selling grain. There must be other goods in their caravans, so that commerce is developed, which can just supplement the situation that our Northeast commerce is not prosperous. I can't say that the town is prosperous. What, what's the problem? Lian Zining said in surprise. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
