(Haha, did everyone guess what Tang Yidao was doing in the Northland?) In addition, thank you to all the brothers who rewarded, voted, and made suggestions and comments in the book review area, thank you. Seeing those comment posts, I can feel the love and seriousness of my brothers for this book, which is really heartwarming.

Thank you, brothers! The only thing that can be rewarded is better chapters! Thank you, brothers! ）

Lian Zining nodded with satisfaction, raised his glass and said: "Come, this glass of wine is to celebrate the fall of the Haixi Jurchens, and you will return to the embrace of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

This sentence set the tone for this meeting.

Lian Zining did it at the moment, and everyone also toasted and drank this glass of wine, and the atmosphere in the banquet was a little more relaxed.

Lian Zining said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this official wants to ask you a question, do you think, is it better to be a Ming or a Jurchen?" ”

"Needless to say? Naturally, Da Ming is good, those mongrels of the Jurchens, they have made us miserable all these years! The crowd gossiped.

What Helian Leopard said was even more true, and the old man laughed and said, "When Da Ming was in charge of us, how many caravans had to come over every year?" We can exchange wine and drink with the caravan, change the cloth and silk in the customs, exchange iron pots, exchange salt, and in the year of famine, we can also exchange food for food! It's good now, I picked some mountain delicacies and wild goods and let those Jurchens loot them, and I can't even leave a fart! Uncle, how many years have we not drunk these fine wines here? How many years have the iron pots used by the people in the tribe! ”

What he said was methodical, and everyone agreed.

Lian Zining smiled slightly and said, "In other words, the reason why Da Ming is good is because Da Ming is willing to exchange materials with you and exchange what you have, isn't it?" ”

This sentence is very profound. What kind of big country is the fig leaf of the Quartet, the friendship of nationalities, the great harmony of the world, etc. It's all ruthlessly torn away, revealing the naked truth - that is, interests! To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty ruled here, and it was not profitable? Isn't it profitable for these tribes to submit to the Ming Dynasty?

Mutual benefit is actually the most stable relationship and the most long-term strategy.

Lian Zining's question was straightforward. These patriarchs were also upright, and their answers were even more straightforward: "Isn't it! Uncle is really right, that's the reason! ”

"Hmmm! Case. Lian Zining nodded: "Since you are here, you are sincere, then, let's set the rules!" ”

Lian Zining raised his voice and said: "First of all, I have to make it clear that in this land where you are located, my Wu Yijun is the master. Everyone, you must surrender to my Wu Yi Army, surrender to it. This officer! This sentence must be remembered! ”

Everyone did not contradict each other, Azig understood it, took the lead in leaving the table, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Villain Azig, from now on, only the uncle is the first to look forward, but there is a sending, dare not do his best!" ”

The crowd was also stunned. The secret hatred made Azig steal the limelight, and they left the table one after another and knelt down to worship, loudly expressing their surrender.

No one dared not kneel, but Lian Zining saw that there were many patriarchs who were reluctant. After all, wouldn't it be too much to take out his own soldiers and horses for Wu Yijun to send? It's just that the power of the Wuyi Army is now greater than that of the Haixi Jurchens in their heyday. At this time, it is under the knife of others, how dare they have half a word?

"Alright, everyone, please get up!" Lian Zining waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, and after they sat down, he smiled and said: "Your intentions, this official understands, but if you let you send troops plainly, wouldn't it be a loss to you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, but they felt that this Uncle Wu Yi was a reasonable and sensible person.

Lian Zining said with a smile: "You send troops, that is certain, but this official will definitely not let you suffer." The official has set up a rule here, from today on, since you are the subordinates of the official, you must serve the official before and after the saddle, as soon as the official's order comes out, you must send troops, and there must be no two words! But "...,

Lian Zining paused, and everyone immediately pricked up their ears to listen carefully, and then listened to Lian Zining say: "However, the soldiers you sent, this officer not only manages all their food and accommodation, but also gives them salaries, you have been here for a long time, and you should know how high the salary of my Wu Yi Army is, in a word, as long as they come, they will be paid for one month if they stay for a month, and they will be given a year for a year, which is no different from the soldiers in my Wu Yi army, and there is no bias." In addition, the number of troops you send is tied to your trade quota. What is Trade Quota? ”

Lian Zining said: "To put it bluntly, the more soldiers you send, the more silk brocade, iron pot salt, wine and grain you can trade from this official." Of course, you have to exchange things for this, and this official will not give it in vain. And if not a single soldier comes out, the officer can ......"

Although Lian Zining didn't say anything, everyone understood the meaning of these words - if you don't send troops, you have money, and I won't sell you anything, and if there are too many times, I'm afraid that I will raise troops to destroy you.

After Lian Zining finished speaking, he stopped talking, leaving these people enough time to react.

Many patriarchs were thinking carefully in their hearts, and after a while, the patriarchs who had been dragged out just now also came back, they stripped off their clothes, and threw them naked into the ice and snow, the cold snow can relieve their heat and uncontrol, this time, it can be regarded as a wine awakening. After the group came back shivering with an embarrassed expression, they also moved their minds when they heard what the people next to them said.

In the end, none of the people opposed this rule, on the contrary, they all supported it.

These primitive tribes in the Northeast, their system, is almost similar to the transition period from the primitive society to the slave society on the Central Plains, the tribal chiefs have very great power, life and death, and once they send troops out, those soldiers receive silver, and most of the silver will fall into their pockets - the original silver is not very useful in the Northeast, because you can't spend it with silver, but now, the Northeast has restored the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the tribes can trade with the Wu Yi Army, and these silver money, In an instant, it can be transformed into a large number of silk and satin, exquisite food, luxurious decorations, exquisite porcelain, and even those beautiful Central Plains women.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts are warm.

And Lian Zining's policy is also quite limited to breaking the traditional forces. The larger the tribe has more troops, the greater the amount of trade it obtains, and the greater the strength it can grow, while the opposite is true for the smaller tribes. In this way, the strong are still strong, and the weak are still weak. There is no offense to the power of these chiefs.

In this case, how can there be any reason to disagree?

Led by Azig and Helian Leopard, all the tribal chiefs agreed one after another, which was very good.

Lian Zining nodded. His eyes narrowed slightly, this was the first step for him to incorporate these strong nomads in the Northeast into his ruling system - Lian Zining knew one thing very well, that is, these nomads in the Northeast could never exist, and the world rode out of Liaodong, these nomads on horseback, in this era, compared to the already weakened Mongols. It is much stronger and can form a strong combat force in a short period of time. Lian Zining could even think that if it weren't for the fact that Wu Yi's army was strong now. The forces of all parties have been suppressed to the death, and now the land north of Songjiang has long become a flesh-and-blood contest.

In history, the Jurchens, who originally destroyed the Ming Dynasty and then dominated the world, have been in this time and space for thirty years, and now they are being planned step by step, slowly arranged, and gradually cannibalized them, which can be regarded as gradually eliminating hidden dangers. And when the Jurchens are finished, will there be another strong nomad who suddenly comes out? What about becoming the second Jurchen? You must know that in Lian Zining's time and space, Nurhachi's subordinates were just thirteen deputy soldiers. …,

Since the Liao and Song dynasties, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, once the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty has failed. It must have been the northern iron cavalry that went south, and in its place, the Han people were reduced to humility. Lian Zining will not allow such a thing to happen, and the most direct way to eliminate hidden dangers is to eliminate the household - to turn the nomads into farming people.

So Lian Zining smiled slightly: "Then the first thing is decided like this, the official will issue an order to recruit troops now, and after you go back, you will send strong men with weapons and armor, and if you come more, just wait for trade!" The official has set a month for you, and within a month, it must come, and if you can't get there, you will be punished with rebellion, and then the official's army will kill you, destroy you, and raze your whole clan, don't blame me for being ruthless. After going down later, go to this stone pillar and report the approximate number of people you can come, so that they can be arranged in order and the rank is delineated. ”

The murderous words came out from the smiling face, but the deterrent power was extraordinarily strong, and all the tribal patriarchs agreed with a bang, and none of them dared to disobey it.

Lian Zining said again: "In addition, you may not know that this official has divided the territory north of the Songjiang River and south of the White Eagle Gorge into forty counties, sent a large army to station, establish county governance, and reclaim land. ”

"We know!" A tribal chief smiled and said, "When I came here, I ran into my lord's subordinates, it seems to be the eighteenth guard, the commander is a big fat man, and there are countless untouchables behind me, there are tens of thousands. They just fought a battle with the Jurchen remnants, suffered heavy losses, and rested in our tribe for a day, we hunted a lot of animal meat for them to eat, they were also very friendly, and gave us a lot of things, my lord, why do you still bring strong wine with you in the army? ”

Lian Zining's heart suddenly sighed, the heavy snow in the past few days has made it difficult to transmit the news, and how did those recruits know about Lian Zining's expedition to the north? And the news that he is now stationed in the northern camp of Baiying Gorge is even more unknown. When Lian Zining set off to conquer the north, the messengers sent to the new guards were stationed before they set off, and after Zhangqiuqiu had an accident, he sent someone to Zhenyuan Mansion to report the news, so the two messengers just missed it. Therefore, the news of the attack on the eighteenth guard, even Zining has not received it so far.

However, he is also very powerful, and now he is already moody, and after a little thought, he is relieved, since Zhang Qiu can still protect the tens of thousands of untouchables to rest in the tribe, it means that it is not serious, at least it is not hurtful, so there is no need to worry, but the Jurchen remnants, I think it is the ancient department of the Jurchen Tang, this is a factor that has to be paid attention to. If Tang Gu was knowledgeable, it would be enough to rush to the north to join the Jianzhou Jurchens, but if they were active in destroying the grain route between Zhenyuan Mansion and Baiying Gorge, it would be a bit tricky.

He said lightly: "The remnants of the Jurchen are just a few days of stumbling, so there is nothing to worry about, as for those spirits, they are used in the army to treat the wounded." If a person is wounded and cleansed with strong wine, it is much better. ”

These tribal chiefs were dumbfounded, how could they have thought of such a wasteful method?

"Also." Lian Zining paused. He also said, "If you want to farm the land and live a stable life like the Han people, you can also go to live near those counties, and the official will give you the land." Grain, cattle, and farm tools are also distributed, as for you patriarchs, hehe, when the time comes, you will be the court officials of my Ming Dynasty. ”

After saying this, most of the people didn't think so, but they just responded to two sounds.

They are used to running amok, but they don't want to be constrained. And they have no intention of changing their habits. …,

Lian Zining was not in a hurry, and he was not reluctant.

The establishment of county governance and the appointment of liuguan is actually a gradual and gradual strategy for Lian Zining to deal with these immediate ethnic groups, of course, he also wants to immediately reorganize these tribes, take their population as his own, and the soldiers are included in the Wu Yi army, so wouldn't the Wu Yi army grow immediately? It's not possible, though. If this is really done, I am afraid that these hundreds of thousands of brave people outside the border will immediately turn back, and then the wildfire will burn the prairie fire. The Jurchens are dominating the north again, and the great situation that they have painstakingly created is about to collapse.

And like this, it is like boiling frogs in warm water, and slowly attracting these ethnic minorities to the vicinity of those counties, the cities of the Han people, there is a natural attraction, and there will definitely be many of these foreign races going there to do business, farming and living.

And the assimilation ability of the Han people is the first in the world!

The so-called sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. That's just it.

After finishing the business, it was idle talk, Lian Zining had the intention to win them over, but also put down his body and said a few more words, and in the end, it was the guests and the host who were happy. As for Feng De, who was killed on the spot, everyone had already selectively ignored it.

The wine is gone.

In the next few days, these tribal chiefs all said goodbye and went back, and even the most greedy patriarchs also went back after a few days of drunkenness.

The camp of the Wuyi Army also returned to its former calm, the soldiers practiced at sunrise and morning, resting every day, and the Jurchen camp on the opposite side was also very calm, as if they didn't see the actions of the Wuyi Army on the opposite side at all. It seems that the two sides have agreed to face off here for this winter.

As for Lian Zining, he stays at home every day, and he doesn't know what he is busy with, and some miscellaneous affairs are all pushed to other officers.

What Lian Zining said to Yang Husheng that day, all the officers in the army who commanded the first level already knew it, and Lian Zining also wanted to reassure them.

Everyone is secretly speculating, what is this turning point?

The turnaround was not long in coming.

You are the Jurchen camp across the river.

In the handsome account, Nalan Jiancheng, the commander of the Jurchen South Route Army, was standing in the handsome account, pacing back and forth. On the wall of the handsome account, there is a map, which is the map on both sides of the Manhe River and north of the Songjiang River - speaking of which, these maps are also thanks to those Ming merchants who often walk in the three Jurchens, as for how their maps came from, it goes without saying that these merchants who can treat the Ming border army as nothing, how can they not get those maps stored in the Ming Army. These maps, but the Ming Dynasty from the Yongle Dynasty to the Xuande Dynasty, the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, it took decades, tens of thousands of manpower, and all over the mountains and rivers outside the pass to draw, I don't know how much effort was spent, but it was stolen by these stupid insects.

These maps are very large, and at the level of this era, they are already rare and detailed, and the terrain in them, such as rivers, mountains, woods, plains, swamps, etc., is marked in great detail.

Nalan Jiancheng wore a purple robe, with a Baturu shoulder on the outside, which was no longer than the waist, the sleeves only covered the elbows, and the short sleeves were more convenient for riding, he was also a talent, but it was a pity that the bare head and the pigtail-like pigtail on the back of the head ruined this honor, and it looked very awkward.

He turned around suddenly, and looked closely at the huge map, which was already full of lines and arrows on both sides of the Youman River, many arrows, all pointing from north to south, and the landing point of the arrow was behind the White Eagle Gorge.

Obviously, it can be seen from the map that this Lord Nalan Jiancheng is definitely not a person who can be captured with his hands tied, and he can also see clearly that the Wuyi Army camp in the White Eagle Gorge opposite is definitely not easy to defeat, and he actually began to plan to find another way. The power of the Wu Yi Army on the opposite side is growing, and he naturally sees it in his eyes, but he does not passively avoid the war because of this. It turned out that he wanted to take the initiative to fight, and it was obviously a big plan. …,

And judging from the map, his plan has roughly taken shape.

Footsteps could be heard outside. Guta Yinde opened the big tent and came in, the burly figure seemed to block the door, and it was dark in the tent for a while, and when he came in, he also brought in a cold air, which made Nalan Jiancheng shiver.

"Coming? How is there no news? Nalan Jiancheng asked back.

"My lord is really clever, and there is really news!" Gutaind sighed. Excited.

"Sit down, sit down and talk slowly." Nalan has been leading the army for a long time, and he has become much calmer when he runs up and down, and there is no fire kang in this big tent, but he has made a protruding two-foot-high earthen platform against the wall, and there is less stove fire below, and the top is warm. There was a small one in the middle, and he sat cross-legged on it.

Guta Yinde also sat down opposite and said with a smile: "Since I got your orders. A lot of light cavalry were selected to patrol around, and they were released for more than 100 miles, and this morning, they found the traces of the Wu Yi army who went north, and they really came back, according to what you said, the mark did not alarm them. How about sending an army to slaughter them? ”

"How can you slaughter it? It's of a great use for me to keep these cavalry! I've been looking forward to them for so long, but I've been looking forward to them. Nalan Jiancheng heard the news. Obviously very happy, he smiled, took the flask from the hot basin on the side, poured himself a glass of spirits, and drank it in one gulp.

Guta Yinde thought about it, but still didn't understand. is to ask: "My lord, the mark is dull, it's just that these cavalry came back, but it increased Lian Zining's strength, why is it still a good thing?" ”

Nalan Jiancheng smiled slightly, he didn't want to say it, but with this henchman under his hand, he can still reveal a thing or two.

He asked, "Let me ask you, who is stronger and who is weaker between us and Wu Yijun now?" ”

"We only have these tens of thousands of soldiers, and the Wu Yi Army is already more than us, and the spies reported that the Wu Yi Army has been reinforced by soldiers and horses these days, and now it is more than double that of us. Naturally, they are strong, and we are weak. Guta Yinde was also quick to speak, and said without hesitation.

"That's right, these Wu Yi soldiers have more soldiers than us, although they are not very forbidden to fight, but in this way, we are not opponents. Moreover, they built fortified cities to hold on, and in this way, we will not be able to defeat ten times more troops, since this is the case, we have to make a surprise move! "Nalan built the road.

"Odd soldiers?"

"That's right!" Nalan Jiancheng said: "This strange soldier fell on these people. Didn't these people go to Russia in the north to ask for help? However, with Princess Yeping here, the Russians must have no time to take care of it. But as soon as they came back, Lian Zining got the letter, there must have been something wrong, what I am afraid of is that they will not move! I have already arranged a big dead end, as long as these Wu Yi troops make a move, they can be put to death. ”

"As for the troops, you don't have to worry." Nalan Jiancheng smiled confidently: "I have asked very clearly from De Ling's mouth, although these Wuyi troops have the advantage of firearms, but most of them are foot soldiers, relying on foot soldiers, it is okay to defend the city, and if it is a field battle, it is definitely not the opponent of our Jurchen iron cavalry." At that time, the Haixi Jurchens were able to annihilate the 200,000 elite Beijing troops of the Ming Kingdom in the north of Songjiang, could it be that these Wuyi troops were stronger than the Beijing army? ”

"I'm afraid he won't move!"

Nalan Jiancheng clenched his fists heavily. In the final analysis, because the Jurchens have always had a military advantage over the Ming Dynasty, they still didn't take Wu Yijun very seriously, especially Nalan Jiancheng listened to De Ling's words, who is De Ling? It's just a slave soldier, can you see the true strength of Wu Yijun?

The 1,000 cavalry sent by Wu Yijun came back, in Lian Zining's view, this was a turning point for Wu Yijun to go north, and in Nalan Jiancheng's view, it was also a turning point for the Jurchens to ask for the current confrontation situation.

Whose turnaround is this?
