(More exciting later...... ）

Xu Hongru sighed and said with a wry smile: "Since the junior brother doesn't say it, then the senior brother I'll talk about it." ”

Peng Shanhu's heart moved and nodded, this is also a good opportunity for him to strengthen his understanding of this side.

Xu Hongru paused, and when he saw Peng Shanhu showing a listening look, he continued: "Senior brother, I have been in Zhengde for twenty years to reach the territory of the general of Liaobei, and it has been thirty-two years now. The territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei is much larger than the territory of the general of Songhua River where the big city of Zhubang is located, with the Songhua River as the boundary, the west and north of the Songhua River, and the south of the Heilongjiang River, all of which are the territory of the general of Liaobei, all the way west to Fuyuwei and northwest to the Harawen Mountain. However, compared with the territory under the jurisdiction of the general Songhuajiang, the territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei is far worse, there are dense forests and swamps everywhere, and the plains are extremely vast, but there are too few people to develop them at all. I have a believer who is an official in charge of household registration in the Liaobei General's territory, and I heard him say that the current Liaobei General's jurisdiction is only about 2 million people. This little person, if it is placed in our Jiangnan, is nothing. ”

"There are also prefectures and counties here, but the prefecture is called the ground, and there are eight major lands under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei - the ground of the Delunwei Guard, the ground of the Vultures, the ground of the Vultures, the ground of the Right Guards of the Vultures, the ground of the Left Guards of the Vultures, the ground of the Tashan Guard, the ground of Muli Jiwei, the ground of Namuhewei, I don't know how many subordinate counties there are, and I won't say them one by one, senior brother here. When I first came, a village was moved to Torenwei, and it was over there. ”

Xu Hongru pointed to the opposite side of the Songhua River: "With here, that is, across the river." After coming here. A man has fifty acres of land, and those who are close to the river can still go down to the river to fish. Let me tell you first, here, it's not a problem to fill your stomach. We are all understanding people. Therefore, junior brother, senior brother wants to remind you that when you preach here, you have to put away the set of our ancestors, you can't just say that you have a full stomach, it's useless! You'll have to think of something else! ”

Peng Shanhu said gratefully: "Thank you Senior Brother for reminding me." ”

For Xu Hongru, it's just a sentence, but for him. This may be a problem that has to be touched to break the blood flow before you realize it.

Xu Hongru said with a smile: "I almost forgot, back then, Master Peng was superb in Buddhism, and he often incarnated as a ten-zhang giant Buddha on the battlefield, with golden light and invulnerability, you must have obtained the true inheritance." We have one white lotus, three branches. Your Red Lotus is good at numbers, and Qinglian is the best at training, and twenty years ago, you also raised troops in the Central Plains, and it was very tossed for a while, but it is our White Lotus main vein. It is claimed to be authentic, but it is not good at anything. ”

Peng Shanhu said: "Senior brother is too humble, you are a noble man, you are learning the art of the emperor, an order, the world is from the world, no matter how great our ability is, we are not here to run errands for you." ”

Xu Hongru laughed and waved his hand: "It's so nice to say, but it's just to figure out people's hearts and minds." ”

"Senior brother, I know that junior brother, you are a person with great ambitions." Seeing that Peng Shanhu was about to open his mouth, Xu Hongru stretched out his hand and said; "Don't speak, but listen to me. I have a message for you, do your best to develop believers, preferably within a year! Now is the best time to pass, after this village, there is no such shop. ”

Peng Shanhu's face changed, and he finally lowered his posture, and said, "Please also ask senior brother for advice." ”

Seeing that he finally stopped pretending to be crazy and stupid, Xu Hongru smiled with satisfaction and said, "Senior brother, since you ask, I will naturally not be stingy." The reason why I say this is our best chance is not an lie. First, the Northeast is advantageous. Needless to say, the geographical environment of the Northeast, you have come all the way, you should have seen it, although the Northeast is mostly plains, but everywhere is dense forests and swamps, the difficulty of army passage is not small, once a war occurs, it is difficult to quickly mobilize troops. I heard that you have been leaving since Qingming, and you have just arrived at this time, and if the imperial court transfers troops from the Guannei, you will not be able to come at all in a few months. And a few months, that's enough to do a lot. ”…,

"Second, it is the current situation in the Northeast. The erosion of the Northeast Frontier Army, the outside world does not know, but I know it clearly, although the Dog Emperor has been rectified, but thirty years have passed, and everything has returned to the old view. Many officers and soldiers didn't even have waist knives, let alone battle armor, and their salaries and silver were almost deducted, so they couldn't starve to death. Moreover, last year, the Jurchen entered the Kou, and even fought successively, and the army under the command of the general of Liaobei was claimed to be 100,000, but in fact, there were only 50,000 soldiers who could fight, and these 50,000 were lost most of them last year. The rest of them are concentrated on the border with Fuyuwei, and the interior is extremely empty. In addition, you should also know that now the Jurchen and Mongol coalition forces are in a difficult situation, and although the Wu Yi army has always been able to fight, it is difficult to say the end in the face of 150,000 coalition troops. Once Wu Yijun suffers a heavy blow, our chance has come! In this way, the Jurchen Tartars and the Mongolian Tartars have helped us a lot! ”

"Third, it is the current pattern. Do you want to see the imperial court report? ”

Peng Shanhu showed a hint of embarrassment for the first time, and shook his head: "Senior brother has never seen that thing. ”

"You have to pay attention to this in the future, the Imperial Court Newspaper must be read in every issue, don't look at the things on it are not much, but you can see a lot of doorways. Now this pseudo-Ming Dynasty, what is the situation in your Dao? ”

Peng Shanhu thought about it and said: "Along the way, the soldiers are strong and the people are rich, but they are prosperous. ”

"Wrong!" Xu Hongru shook his head and smiled: "This is just the appearance, but in fact, now the pseudo-Ming is already in crisis, with internal and external troubles." ”

"Let's look at the court first, the dog emperor has been in power for fifty-two years, and his days are running out, right? If it was placed in the previous dynasty, it would have been canonized as the prince, but now, you see, there are already twenty or thirty adult princes, but there is no prince yet, and the queen has not given birth, these princes all have the right to ascend the throne. ”

"Look at the Quartet again! Hami, self-established as king, Annan rebelled, recaptured the lost territory, and the imperial court has now sent a large military region to conquer! These armies, not to mention whether they can win or not, even if they can win big, how many can they come back? In these two battles, the Beijing camp must be in decline! Even if it's a mess, what can it do? ”

He raised his voice, his face full of rebelliousness: "Senior brother." You say, isn't this kind of pattern the best season for our good men to make contributions? ”

Peng Shanhu looked at Xu Hongru. A flash of admiration flashed in my heart. He was originally a little hostile and resistant to Xu Hongru, but after this conversation, he really saw it. This cheap big brother is really stronger than himself, and it's not a little bit, it's all-round.

When it comes to everything you know, how thoroughly you see things, and even when it comes to ambition, it's really hard for you to get out of your hands.

He took a deep breath and stood up. Clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Senior brother, senior brother is served!" ”

Xu Hongru also stood up, laughed twice, patted Peng Shanhu on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, can you tell senior brother now, how did you do it?" ”

Peng Shanhu's eyes showed a trace of bitter resentment: "There is only one way, and that is against his mother!" At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian Tartars had no way. The people of the world have no way to live, and the ancestors followed the emperor to raise troops in order to be happy and peaceful for the people of the world. The dog thief Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, but he was ruthless to those of us who were also righteous soldiers, and it was really better to be a pig and a dog. Degraded to untouchables. Men have been slaves for generations, and women have been prostitutes for generations, and we have endured this humiliation for a hundred years! Only by killing all those dog thieves surnamed Zhu and letting them taste this kind of taste can I get rid of the hatred in my heart! ”

"Yes, not only to kill all those dog thieves surnamed Zhu, but also to kill all the noble officials, just like the ancestors said, 'destroy the rich and help the poor' to establish a great harmony in the world! ”

Xu Hongru said impassionedly. …,

Peng Shanhu smiled slightly in his heart, but said solemnly on his face: "I am willing to join the great cause with my senior brother!" ”

Xu Hongru nodded: "When I came to the Northeast, I was able to get rid of the cage and do whatever I wanted, and I have now developed 500,000 believers in the territory of the general of Liaobei!" Even the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang and even the jurisdiction of General Jianzhou further south also have my followers! What you have to do now is to vigorously develop, especially so many lowly households, who hate the government very much in their hearts, and once they are instigated, they will catch fire. The senior brother has also saved a lot of money over the years, but if it is useful, even if the junior brother opens his mouth, he asks for someone to give it to him, and he wants money to give money, even if he has weapons and armor, there is no shortage of weapons! Wait for me to find a good time, when the time comes, our brothers will ascend to the heights, and the world will correspondingly, and we will also go to the Forbidden City and sit on the dragon chair of the dog emperor! ”

Peng Shanhu nodded heavily, the two of them had their own thoughts, looked at each other and laughed!

The two discussed the details again, and Peng Shanhu saw that it was not too early for more than a dozen people, so he left.

Xu Hongru and Xu Zheng also packed up their things and walked back, Xu Zheng said a little angrily as they walked: "Dad, this Peng Shanhu is just a, what is the use of such a small number of people under his hands?" Even if he is a descendant of Monk Peng, you have to hand it over. But there's no need to favor him like this, what do you want? ”

"You're still tender!" Xu Hongru smiled faintly and said, "What do you believe when he says?" Do you think what he says is true? He said that only these people do you believe? Dad told you that he also had at least 10,000 believers among these untouchables, and that's still too little! And you don't know how high Monk Peng's prestige is? To put it mildly, it's much higher than Emperor Tianwan! With him ascending and shouting, I don't know how many thousands of people will follow! ”

Xu Zheng was unconvinced: "Why is he so powerful?" ”

"Why is it so powerful? Just because he can pull such a big team as a and have such a high prestige, you know how powerful he is! This yellow sick tiger, he was not allowed to let go of his hands and feet before, but now he has come down to the Northeast, you see, within a year, his followers will exceed 200,000! Xu Hongru took a long breath: "Such a good dog, you say, can I use it well?" Their ancestor is our ancestor's subordinate, and he must also be your father and mine's subordinate! ”

The two of them walked and arrived at the river, and a few small boats quietly sailed out of the river channel that had not entered the dense forest, on which there were more than thirty sturdy men, each with a sturdy figure and a sharp blade in their hands, and they all saluted Xu Hongru. Xu Hongru waved his hand, and everyone surrounded them on the boat and went away.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Zhenyuan Mansion under the city.

It was almost dusk, and the warm and warm sunshine of early autumn shone down on this vast land, reflecting a layer of golden yellow to this land.

The wind blows, and the sea of countless corns rises and falls in the wind, waving and dancing. The corn was almost ripe, and the stems were all very green and tender. It seems to drip water. A line of lone geese flew by in the sky, making a sharp cry from south to north.

A squad of Mongol cavalry had just returned from a hunt. On both sides of the saddle hung all sorts of prey, and the horses galloped happily, in front of the tent in the distance. Stoves had been erected and bonfires had been lit, and many Mongol men came out of their tents and cheered to the warriors who had returned from hunting.

It's quiet, peaceful, and fertile, like a paradise, provided of course that it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered above and below the city and the dozens of cavalry that galloped through the city and harassed and insulted the city.

The Jurchen army learned the lesson of the last time. In order to avoid being attacked and broken down again, only one large camp was set up, with Xiaoye'er Village as the center, and countless barracks were built around it. The Jurchen camp occupies the position directly west of Zhenyuan Province, while the camp of the Mongol Fuyuwei is in the northwest of Zhenyuan Province - with the endless grasslands behind it. Unobstructed, it is not easy to be sneak attacked, and once there is any situation, you can escape at any time. …,

It's like two sharp knives, threatening the safety of Zhenyuan Mansion at any time.

There was also a burst of smoke rising from the children's real camp. It was time to eat, and the coalition cavalry who were constantly harassing and insulting under the city and keeping watch on them also beat their horses and returned to the camp. They had to hurry up and eat, and after eating, they had to come out at night -- after the last night attack, the vigilance of the Jurchen Mongol coalition army was greatly improved, and they were divided into two shifts to monitor day and night, and they never gave the Wu Yi army any chance again.

Xiong Tingbi stood at the head of the West Gate City, watching them leave.

His eyes were deep and thoughtful, and if he looked closely, there was a hint of anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

Xiong Tingbi's gaze swept over the Jurchen and Mongol camps in the distance, thinking about the current situation in his heart.

Since that night attack, the Mongol and Jurchen coalition forces have not launched a single siege battle, and they only use small forces to harass and monitor every day, and they actually put on a posture of long-term siege.

With a fierce eye like Xiong Tingbi, he naturally understood what their intentions were - a long-term siege, a competition of patience, and when the Wu Yi army was impatient, or the food in the city ran out, they forced the Wu Yi army to go out of the city for a decisive battle, so that the opportunity for the Jurchen and Mongol coalition forces to arrive.

Without the support of the city wall, it was indeed difficult for Wu Yi's army to resist the impact of the opponent's superior cavalry cluster.

Xiong Tingbi has to admit that this is indeed an excellent strategy.

The northeast is rich, there are forests and lakes outside the city, and they still rely on the river, no matter what, they can't starve to death, and they use local materials, and the Mongol and Jurchen coalition forces are not in danger of running out of food, and they can hold on for a long time, and now they are far from winter, and they have time to build houses, even if they survive this cold winter.

According to the speculation of Ha Bu and Amin, the food in the city will last for three months at most! Their inference is also very reasonable, last year's several wars, have already destroyed the agriculture in the territory under the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang, and there is no grain in the north at all, and looking at the current situation, so much corn has been planted, even if Wu Yijun transported a lot of grain from the Guannai, I am afraid that it will be distributed, how much stock is there in the city?

And Xiong Tingbi knows, Lian Zining knows, and Amin even knows that even if Wu Yijun has enough food, he has a reason to go out of the city to fight!

That's the big field of corn just outside the city!

These millions of acres of corn are an incomparably huge wealth, and they have a very far-reaching significance for Wu Yijun, once these corn are harvested, not only will the territory under the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang get a bumper harvest, but also Wu Yijun will not be threatened with food shortages within a few years. But once this corn falls into the hands of the enemy, whether it is burned or transported back to the Jurchen and Fuyuwei homeland, it means that the hard work of millions of people in the territories under the jurisdiction of Lian Zining, Wu Yijun, and General Songhuajiang for a year will become nothing! And the consequences are even more serious than the lack of work - millions of refugees!

At that time, there was no need for the Jurchens and the Mongols to do anything, and these huge numbers of refugees alone would be enough to drag down Lian Zining's rule. And once he ignores it, he is afraid that these refugees will immediately cause a huge riot!

Therefore, Wu Yijun is bound to go out of the city to fight!

And that's what Ha Bu and Amin want.

But the wishful thinking that came out of Ha was obviously wrong, because they didn't think of two points!

The first is that Lian Zining's financial resources are so abundant, and the grain is so abundant, the food in the city can support it for several years!

And what is even more fatal is that I didn't expect the second point - Lian Zining highlighted the surprise soldiers and attacked the Jurchen homeland.

Xiong Tingbi's heart rose with admiration, the enemy's plan is upright, but you have nothing to do! If it weren't for the adult's genius, I am afraid that I would really be trapped and die in this town!

The use of soldiers by adults is really amazing!

He withdrew his gaze, his nose suddenly twitched, and when he looked around, he smiled slightly.

There was a burst of aroma from the city, and at this point, it was time to start eating.

Wu Yijun's superiority is reflected in all aspects, one of which is very important to eat. Wu Yijun's soldiers had four meals a day -- in addition to morning, noon and evening, there was also a supper at midnight, that is, at ten o'clock in the evening, and the meals were full of big fish and meat, big white steamed buns were full, rice was served in the pot, and cornmeal cakes were piled up. You can eat as much as you want, no one cares!

At this time, there is no healthy diet, only eat seven points full, eat more vegetables and eat less meat, and even if there is, there will be no market in the army. Wu Yi's soldiers have good food, but the amount of training is also large enough, and a large amount of consumption will inevitably require a large amount of intake, so the soldiers eat more fish and meat, and eat what is fatty.
