However, he said that this battle could be described as a complete victory, and Zeng was very happy. So he reported the battle to the capital, and asked for a reward for the effective soldiers.

Of course, Zeng Mian was angry about Qiu Luan's behavior of escaping from the battle, but after all, he later brought artillery, and it played a great role, and Peng Yue begged for two words of affection on the side, so the matter was abandoned.

"Master Peng, I didn't expect that although you are a civilian, you don't show any cowardice on the battlefield, which really makes Zeng admire." , Zeng Mo said with a smile to Peng Yue, of course, half of this sentence was said to Qiu Luan.

But Qiu Luan didn't care at all, as if he was nothing, and praised on the side: "Lord Peng, you have made a great contribution in this battle, without the help of your artillery, I am afraid it will be difficult to win this battle..."

Peng Yue smiled embarrassedly: "Where, where, my artillery cannons won't do much." The victory this time still depends on Lord Zeng's effective command and quick response, coupled with the cooperation of all the soldiers and soldiers, I actually have no credit..."

Qiu Luan wanted to continue the compliment, but was interrupted by Zeng Miao: "Lord Peng is polite..."

Zeng Mo suddenly changed his tone, "Master Peng, with all due respect, how did you make those artillery?" These weapons, both for siege and for defense, are excellent, and I am very interested in them..."

"Some of these guns were imitations of the Westerners' Furlong machines, but they were modified and processed, and many types were developed. The performance is also better. Of course, a large part of it was made by the researchers of the Ordnance Institute themselves, and these cannons are also very powerful..."

Peng Yue said this. It was also a burst of emotion. It turns out that the creativity of the Chinese people is relatively poor, and it is true that it began in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The ideological constraints of Baguwen and the suppression of human nature by the **** system really make people's potential undeveloped.

"It's a pity that such a powerful artillery is due to numbers... Otherwise, this time... How could I let him escape alive...", Zeng Mian sighed on the side, he was still worried about the escape of a group of people and horses led by I.

"Lord Zeng, I am preparing to ask the emperor to set up an ordnance station in each of the nine border towns to carry out firearms development..."

Peng Yue was also worried about this matter. He also wanted to transport most of the weapons he developed to the northwest and Liaodong, but Zhu Houxi was always afraid that the Tumubao Incident would happen again, so he equipped most of the firearms with the Praetorian Guards in the capital.

Peng Yue has always been very confused about their logic, Datong and Xuanfu are the northern gates of Beijing, if they are lost, can the capital be saved? Just like Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the household department could not allocate military funds, but he still held on to the money in his private treasury, and finally Li Zicheng captured Beijing. All that money went to the rebels.

"That's great!" , Zeng Mo said excitedly, but then sighed again, "I don't know if the emperor will agree..."

Peng Yue heard this. He didn't dare to respond, because he didn't have a score in his own heart. Since the Song Dynasty, successive kings have pursued a policy of guarding the inside and outside. Let Zhu Houxi agree to the Nine Border Towns to open an arsenal on their own. developed artillery and other things, and he did not have the confidence to be able to convince him. Persuade the courtiers.

"In fact, weapons are secondary, and the key is to have generals with effective command. Soldiers who fight bravely...", Peng Yue said softly.

However, Peng Yue also thought so in his heart, after all, the cost of artillery is too high, and the requirements are also high, so it is difficult to produce. In this era, firearms cannot be used on a large scale, and the role of people is still very important. In the Tumubao Incident, the equipment of the Ming army was not known to be many times stronger than the first, but because of Wang Zhen's blind command of the dead eunuch, in the end, it was not a complete defeat and the whole army was destroyed?

"In fact, the construction of the entire defense system is a major event...", Zeng Mian said meaningfully, "The continuous retreat of the northwest frontier has caused the important defense towns to be directly exposed to the enemy's iron cavalry. If the river is in hand, how can those Tartars be so presumptuous! ”

Peng Yue couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, the idea of recovering the Hetao was so ingrained in Zeng Miao's mind, remembering that in history, Zeng Miao was killed because of his suggestion to regain the Hetao, and Xia Yan was also implicated... This idea must be stopped, or it will cause great disaster.

"In fact, when I was the governor of Shandong, I had the ambition to recover the Hetao. Whenever I talked about the Tartar captivity, I gritted my teeth with hatred and couldn't sleep at night. If we can recover the Hetao, we will be able to establish a strong strategic border defense, and then it will be even more difficult for the Tartars to invade the south again! Zeng Mian continued to say impassionedly.

"Lord Zeng, the matter of recovering the Hetao must not be rushed, this matter must be discussed slowly...", Peng Yue did not know the important strategic location of the Hetao, and how could he not know the many benefits after the recovery of the Hetao. He knew that he couldn't persuade Zeng Mo at all about this matter, and he didn't want to persuade Zeng Mo at all, because he also wanted to recover the Hetao in his heart.

But he had to stop it, because Peng Yue knew in his heart that Zhu Houxi definitely didn't have the intention of recovering the Hetao. I want to avoid Zeng Milling Xia Yan being slandered, or I will persuade Zhu Houxi, but this is basically impossible, and I have to take my life in it. Otherwise, persuade Xia Yan that as long as Xia Yan does not agree, the matter can be stopped.

"No, it's urgent!" , Zeng Mo said firmly, "Wait a little longer, and you will lose one more life of the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Actually, I think there is still a feasible way to stop the border chaos...", Peng Yue knew that he couldn't convince Zeng Miao, so he could only divert the topic and propose another thing, "If we open the border market and trade with the Tatars, we will naturally avoid the scourge of war." As far as I know, isn't the reason why I keep committing border violations is that I want to live the right to trade in the border market? ”

"This is indeed a solution, but the court has never let go...", Qiu Luan said on the side.

Peng Yue was also surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Qiu Luan to agree with the opening of border trade, so he continued: "That's true, when I proposed this proposal to the emperor, many ministers objected to it. ”

"If you want me to say, they are short-sighted...", Qiu Luan said angrily, "They always talk about the changes in Tumubao, and say that they want to teach them a lesson, but how can such a big thing be rash? If they were allowed to trade in the border markets, how could there be so many wars? Weighing the pros and cons, it's easy to make a choice. ”

Peng Yuegang wanted to agree with this, but Zeng Miao, who was on the side, opened his mouth: "How can this matter be so simple, do you really think that I just want to fight for the right to trade in the border market?" Those Tartars have long cherished the desire to restore the country, but in fact, they are willing to give up when they have won the right to trade. In the end, they still want to strengthen themselves, and once they are strong enough and the time is ripe, they will definitely attack the south! ”

Qiu Luan was told by Zeng Miao, and he didn't dare to say more.

Peng Yue was also surprised, although Zeng Miao's words were also said in the court at that time, but he was in a hurry to open the border market, so he didn't think too carefully. At this moment, after a little bit of milling, I also feel that this is very reasonable. It seems that this is really the case, every seemingly good measure, the opposition is not necessarily the traitorous minister, and the one who agrees with it is not necessarily the loyal minister, just say that this Qiu Luan, I am afraid that he also has the intention of fearing the enemy and avoiding war, so he agrees with the opening of the border city.

"Now the Tatar forces are too strong, and they have to be guarded against..."Zeng Mian Youyou said, "Now Altan has completely controlled the Mongolian right-wing region and forced the Chahar suzerainty Khan to Liaodong. Moreover, he and his brother Melligan defeated Ukhaleans and incorporated them into 50,000 households, which not only pacified the rear, but also greatly increased their strength. The tile spur was also driven to the northwest corner by him, and he had no power to fight back. Now from the north of Datong in the east, to the Hetao in the west, to the Gobi Desert in the north, and to the Great Wall in the south are all controlled by him. It's hard to solve..."

Peng Yue was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that the Tatar tribe would have developed to such a powerful point now.

"The only way to do this is to recover the Loop. If the Hetao is recaptured, when the time comes, it will echo with Datong and Xuanfu, and the east and west will be attacked, and I will be defeated! Zeng Mo said confidently.

When Peng Yue heard Zeng Mo say this, he couldn't refute it, so he could only sigh in his heart.

After a while, Peng Yue saw that Zeng Miao's intention to recover the Hetao was unshakable, and he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would be persuaded by Zeng Miao, and fully support the recovery of the Hetao, so Peng Yue came out of the house under the pretext that something was wrong.

But after Peng Yue came out of it, Qiu Luan hurriedly pulled Peng Yue aside...
