Jinzhou, Nancheng Hou Mansion. [Full text reading]

"Brother Hong, what are you worried about? You see your brows are furrowed so tightly...... "Qing'er asked with concern, "Was it last night...... Alas, Yue'er is too, always messing around at night, but she has always been like this, Brother Hong, you should also get used to it? ”

"Hey, Qing'er, you think too much, brother, am I that kind of person? Even if that's what, I won't bother with a little girl, right? Picking up the teacup, Xie Hong smiled at the little girl, but his brows still didn't open.

"Yue'er knows, Yue'er knows!" The little girl didn't know where to get out, and said triumphantly: "Mr. Wang is gone, Brother Hong misses him, grandma said that lovesickness is a disease and must be cur......ed."

"Poof!" Xie Hong sprayed the tea all over the ground, so he couldn't hang it and spit blood out, my brother found out, Yue'er and the second brother are really good, of course, the comparison is unreliable...... "It's a good thing for Brother Bo'an to go to the capital, arrange the right person to the right position, I'm too late to be happy, what is there to think?" Besides, even if men miss each other, that is called heart-to-heart and like-mindedness, and it has nothing to do with lovesickness. ”

There has never been a shortage of bureaucratic talents in Huaxia, and it is more appropriate for Zhengde to personally take care of the errand of the Prancing Horse Thousand Army. Therefore, rather than being a political official or a famous general, doing a good job in education, being a great principal is obviously more suitable for Mr. Yang Ming.

Wang Shouren was originally knowledgeable and open-minded, and after being influenced by himself, he was even more knowledgeable, and being with Tang Bohu was really a match made in heaven, what do you have to think about?

Xie Hong's defense had some effect, the two little girls nodded, then tilted their little heads, and asked again: "Then, Brother Hong, what are you worried about?" ”

"Actually, it has something to do with Brother Bo'an......" Xie Hong sighed, "Before he left, he said that he wanted to give me words, and I agreed as soon as I was happy, but the result was ......."

In these years, if someone gives someone a trade name to others, it means that the friendship between the two is good to a certain extent, and the name often contains the meaning of Yin Yin's expectations, and it can be recognized by Wang Shouren to a certain extent, Xie Hong is of course very happy.

It's just, that word...... Alas, the meaning is not bad, the meaning is not bad, and the call is smooth, but Mao always feels a little weird? Stick to your heart and persevere, so you ...... Conservation?

Xie Hong sighed again, it seems that my brother is really destined to lead the industrial revolution, every word is related to science, conservation of energy, brother is also conserved, okay, anyway, no one is called here in Liaodong, just let him go.

"Brother Heng, it's so tongue-twisting." Yue'er clapped her little hands and smiled.

"Well, it's not as good as Brother Hong's original name." The little girl nodded in agreement.

While laughing, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door curtain was lifted, Jiang Bin strode in, and when he saw the two girls, he did not shy away from it, and after nodding his head, he said urgently: "The urgent report of General Mao of Gaizhou, Brother Xie, the envoy of the Duoyan Department has already passed Gaizhou, looking at the time, it should have almost entered the boundary of Jinzhou." ”

"Oh? It's coming quickly. The corners of Xie Hong's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of a smile.

"I said, Brother Xie, what are you looking for those Tartars for?" Jiang Bin was a little incomprehensible about Xie Hong's summoning of Duoyan Sanwei's people to Jinzhou, he had never found a chance to ask before, but seeing Xie Hong's relaxed and freehand appearance at this time, he thought about it and asked his doubts out of his mouth.

Xie Hong put down the teacup, smiled slightly, and said: "The main purpose is to eliminate their threat, the Duoyan Department has suffered a disaster this year, but Liaozhen has a bumper harvest, it is difficult to ensure that they do not take risks." ”

"It's not the little prince's elite soldier, it's just a Duoyan Sanwei, what's there to be afraid of, just let them come."

Jiang Bin shook his head, very disapproving: "This year, the soldiers and horses in Liao Town are all according to what you said, ignore the farm work, practice every three days, and the food and salary can be managed. ”

"It's different." Xie Hong shook his head, took out a map from under the desk, spread it out, and pointed and said: "The settlement of the Jianzhou Jurchens is relatively concentrated, all in the area of the Yalu River, but the area occupied by the Duoyan Department is much larger, from the southernmost Daning, to the north to the Nenjiang River and the Songhua River, and to the west to the Hulun Lake area, all of which are their nomadic range. ”

Xie Hong frowned slightly and said: "If there is a full-scale war with them, even if reinforcements are transferred from Jizhen, I am afraid that it will not be possible to solve it at one time......

Of course, if it weren't too troublesome to solve, during the Hongwu period, Lan Yu was not a good man and a woman, and he would definitely not deliberately keep a hand. With the consistent style of the Ming Dynasty, he will appease the Tartars, which proves that the price to pay for completely solving them is much greater than appeasement.

Think about it, the nomadic territory of Duoyan Sanwei covered the two provinces of Kyrgyzstan and Hei in later generations, as well as Inner Mongolia and even part of Russia. After winning the frontal battlefield, playing hide and seek with the nomads in such a big place requires time and troops that Xie Hong does not want to bear.

What's more, if you beat the Tartars of Duoyan Sanwei too hard, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not defect to the Tatar Department, and if the main force of the little prince is recruited, it will be a real headache.

"Next year, the scope of Tuntian in Liao Town will be further expanded, and the land over there in Jianzhou is also very fertile, and it is about to be included.

"That's just as well." Jiang Bin nodded.

He is not a reckless person, he also knows that the most powerful thing about the Tartars is that they run fast, and against them, it is useless to win just a few battles, and if they can't beat them, they will run away, and it is troublesome to come back and disturb again.

Although under Xie Hong's order, most of the border troops in Liaozhen have been out of production, even if those in western and northern Liaoxi are added, there are only more than 20,000 people in the full battle. It seems to be a lot, but if it is arranged on the side wall of Liao Town, it is really not enough, even if it is only stationed in the key passes, it is quite insufficient.

With Xie Hong's position, although he can transfer troops from Jizhen, it can only solve the urgent situation for a while, but not for a long time, after all, Jizhen guards the north of Gyeonggi, and it is the main force of the Tatar Department that is guarded against, which is much more important than Liaozhen.

The most important thing is that now the focus of the three towns is on construction and tuntian, rather than military, and once the war continues, major events will be delayed.

"But the Tartars are the most untrustworthy and have always been capricious, even if Brother Xie and you reach an agreement with them, if there is a change in the future, it is difficult to ensure that they will not return to bite people."

"So let's put on a show for them, first they scare them, and then it's easy to talk, and it's the best way to deal with these uncivilized barbarians, hehe." Xie Hong smiled and said mysteriously: "Brother Jiang, you come with your ears, and when they come, you just have to ......."

"Uh, oh, ah?" Jiang Bin nodded while listening, his mouth was still thinking, and in the end, his eyes flashed, and then he patted his thigh, laughed and said, "Good way, that's it." ”

...... "Dad, look, what kind of thing is that horse-pulled, and after running once, it actually finished harvesting the crops!" ”

"Dad, you see, there are more harvests here in Liaonan than in Liaoyang, it's ......"

"Dad, you ......"

Hua Dang was a little dizzy, on the one hand, he was noisy by his daughter, and on the other hand, he was also shocked by what he saw and heard along the way.

I think that at the beginning, the comprehensive harvester that Xie Hong made surprised Wang Shouren, not to mention them barbarians? Duoyan Sanwei also has a farm, and Huadang also knows a little about the work in the field, so he is even more frightened.

"Yu'er, stop arguing, let Dad be quiet for a while." Hassan's face was much worse than when he was in Liaoyang, he stopped his sister, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Dad, the soldiers in Liaozhen are not right, you see, they don't go to the field now, and they practice almost once every two or three days, not only Guangning and Liaoyang, but even Liaonan here, this ......"

"It's wrong, not only do you practice frequently, you don't need to go to the field, Hassan, have you noticed, their equipment is not the same......" Hua Dang's face was very heavy, the impact of equipment on the strength of the army, of course he knew very well, why did Boyan Mengke's elite soldiers crown the grassland? In addition to its own strength, the bigger reason is that it is well-equipped.

Needless to say, the arrows of the king's elite soldiers are all iron arrows, which are much more powerful than the bone arrows popularized by Duoyan Sanwei; Melee weapons are also dominated by knives and axes, even if it is a mace, there are iron nails on it, in comparison, Duoyan Sanwei's side is much worse.

And the weapon is not the most important, what is more terrible is that there are many elite soldiers in the king's tent with armor, and there are tens of thousands of heavy cavalry wearing leather armor and cotton armor, and I heard that there are thousands of iron armors, and I don't know where they got them.

That is to say, the Tatars have never placed the main force in the east, otherwise, against the elite soldiers of the king's tent, the Duoyan side has no chance of winning at all, which is why they have always maintained their deference to the Ming Dynasty, at least on the surface, because there is a great enemy in the west that they cannot resist.

The equipment of the Ming army will be stronger than that of Duoyan Sanwei, but it is also limited, and the training is even less, especially the children of military families, who are just a group of farmers, who will equip a group of farmers with strong armor?

In the past, this was the case, but now, with the arrival of the plague god, Liaozhen is obviously different, Guangning is still worse, after arriving in Liaoyang, the people wearing iron armor are not only generals, but also many small soldiers are wearing armor inlaid with iron sheets!

Moreover, the further south this situation went, the more exaggerated it became, and when they entered the Jinzhou boundary, the sergeants who patrolled the team were all wearing shiny iron scale armor, and those wearing leather armor were embarrassed to go out...... Looking at it all the way, Hua Dang's eyes were about to be shook, he was really dizzy, is this the forbidden army of the Ming Dynasty coming to Liaozhen?

"yes, where did they get so much ironclad from? Dad, otherwise, let's make peace with the Tatars, right? Boyan Meng can be regarded as a hero at worst, if Yu'er is ...... Maybe ......" Hassan said with a grim look at his sister and a reluctant expression.

Seeing the state of the Ming army, he also lost the pride he had when he first came, one hit ten, his self-confidence came from the soldiers he had seen before, but if he was facing what he saw now, I am afraid he would have to adjust one by one.

The iron-armored arrow must not be able to shoot through, and the knife may not be able to cut it, and it is still reliable to smash it with a mace or stab it with a spear, but people are not wooden stakes! Thinking of the swift and powerful movements of the Ming army during the training, Hassan's heart pulled out the cold, what Father Khan said was really right, this is not an enemy that Duoyan Sanwei can deal with.

"I don't want to go to the Tatar department, if a man can't win a war, he has to rely on a woman's body, which is what only weak Han people can do......" Yu'er flicked her whip, threw down a sentence hatefully, and ran away.

"Dad, you ...... you"

"Let's see," Hua Dang waved his hand and said undoubtedly: "Wait until you meet that Hou Ye and see what he has to say, and then decide that it's not too late to act." ”
