In this case, He Dan can of course choose to believe Xie Shen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, the grass people will go."

With Xie Shen in the background, at least in the Lu'an realm, the He family has nothing to fear.

In the next few days, the entire Lu'an Province was harvesting grain.

Because of the earthquake and the epidemic, it is difficult for He Dan to receive surplus grain from ordinary farmers.

Most of the grain received by He Yuanwai also came from small landlords.

The more disasters and famines, the more abundant the grain reserves in the hands of these small landlords. Since the price given by the prefect Xie Shen was much higher than the market price, these small landlords willingly sold the hoarded grain to He Yuan, and then He Yuan's foreign exchange collection was delivered to the government office.

I have to say that Xie Shen's ability to manipulate people's hearts has been perfected.

He could take one or two local gentry to make a decision, but he couldn't get all the landlords to spit out the money.

Buying grain at a high price is naturally the most suitable way, of course, this money is not from Xie Shen, but from the imperial court.

Although the state treasury does not have much silver, it is not a problem to cope with the grain procurement in Shanxi.

Now is not the time to save money for the imperial court, Xie Shen naturally will not be confused in this regard.

Soon, He Yuanwai bought 20,000 stone of corn, plus 10,000 stone lent by large households, a total of 30,000 stone corn was escorted to Taiyuan Mansion by government officials, and then sent to Datong after planning and allocation.

30,000 stone of corn was enough for 10,000 troops to eat for a month.

The first guard of the Ming Dynasty is 5,600 people, that is to say, the food supervised by Xie Shen is enough for the two guards to eat for a month.

That's already remarkable.

You must know that Lu'an has never been a large grain producer, not to mention that it has caught up with the disaster year, and it is not easy to receive 30,000 stone of grain.

In the Datong Mansion, the gloomy clouds between the eyebrows of Liu Daxia, who inspected the border defense and supervised the military salaries, money and food, finally dissipated a little. Standing beside him were Ma An, the commander of Shanxi, and Xie Shen, the prefect of Lu'an.

In the past few days, grain and grass from all over the country have been transported to Datong one after another, and the problem of grain and grass shortage has been solved.

Datong itself is barren and can hardly feed nearly 100,000 soldiers without relying on the supply support of the rest of the prefectures.

You must know that there are nearly 30,000 people in the front and back of Datong alone. There are also Dongshengwei, Yunchuanwei, Yulinwei, Zhenyuwei, Weiyuanwei, Yanghewei, Gaoshanwei and other rings.

Soldiers have to train on the border, and the consumption is already large, and if there is not enough food and grass, it is likely to cause turmoil in the army.

At first, Liu Daxia was worried that the eunuch Hu Zan would obstruct him, but who knew that this person did not say a word from beginning to end, and even Guo Huai, who was a big gentleman, lost his temper.

To the north of Datong are the Tatars, and it is beyond reproach to guard the heavy troops in Datong as a barrier.

Ma An, the commander of Shanxi, stepped forward and said: "Lord Yushi, please see, the Tatars want to attack Datong, and they are nothing more than squeezing in from these places. ”

After speaking, he dotted on the map, Wengguan Mountain, Chi'er Mountain, and then Sanbu Thorn River.

Wherever they came, the Tatars were faced with the problem of how to cross the Great Wall.

The Great Wall in the Datong section is different from Liaodong in that it is segmented into arch guard styles.

For example, in the section of Datong Right Guard, there is a fan-shaped Great Wall along the Tumaochuan River and Tuanshan. The city walls protected the garrisons of Wei Yuanwei and Datong's right guard, and they were completely unthreatened by the Tatars.

The same is true for the city defense in the north of Datong Prefecture, where the Great Wall is built along Mituo Mountain, Lei Gong Mountain, and Fang Mountain, and is impregnable.

Therefore, no matter which direction the Tatars came from, as soon as they entered the outer side of the Great Wall, they lost their mobility. Unless the Great Wall is crossed, there is basically no threat to Datong Mansion.

Liu Daxia shook his head and nodded in the upper right corner of the map: "What if the Tatars are from here." ”

Ma An's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

"There is indeed such a possibility, but if the Tatars go all the way south along Daqingshan and enter the hinterland of Datong through the Great Wall break at Baiyangkou, our scouts will definitely find ......"

Liu Daxia sighed and said, "It's not a matter of discovering or not discovering. Once the Tatars penetrate through the gap between Baiyangkou and Huyukou, the right rib of Datong Mansion will be completely exposed to the enemy. What's even more terrifying is that if the thief chief decides to go east, bypassing the Xuanfu Sanwei and going straight to the Beijing Division, the Beijing Division will be in danger. ”

Hearing this, Ma Anzhi couldn't believe it.

He originally thought that the imperial master sent by the imperial court was just another straw bag who could only talk on paper, but who knew that he directly pointed out the only weak link in the Xuanfu-Datong defense line.

The collapse of the Great Wall between Baiyangkou and Huyukou is indeed the only opportunity that the Tatars can seize. If they really drive straight in, bypass the defense line and go straight to the Beijing Division, the Beijing Division will have no danger to defend!

This is also a problem that the Ming Dynasty has been facing since moving its capital.

Xie Shen continued: "What the boss said is right, this is the weak link in the deployment of our army. If you can't effectively add more checkpoints, it will be a hidden danger. ”

The Son of Heaven guarding the country can certainly boost morale, but the problem is that once the enemy army bypasses your carefully arranged defensive line, the Jingshi will be exposed to the enemy army.

Ma An glanced at Xie Shen, his eyes full of disdain.

Liu Daxia is okay, it's a good age to be there. But the Xie Shen Xie prefect in front of him is just a milky hairy boy, and he dares to comment on military affairs here, which is really ridiculous!

Xie Shen didn't bother to fight with this horse commander, and continued: "Lord Ma might as well mobilize the guards of Linyang and the guards to garrison, and I am not afraid of ten thousand in this matter. ”

"Careful cultivation, do you think the Tatars will really use all their strength to attack the Jingshi?"

Liu Daxia stroked his beard and asked lightly.

Xie Shen said in his heart that this question is too simple. In the eyes of these natives of the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars were like beasts of prey. But from the perspective of historical omniscience, the middle and late Ming Dynasty, that is, the circle around the Beijing Division, is somewhat threatening.

In the entire Hongzhi Dynasty, although the little prince attacked Datong and Xuanfu frequently, he basically did not break through the defense line and attacked the periphery of the Beijing Division.

"In the opinion of the following officials, the Tatars do not have the strength to devote all their strength to wage war with our Ming Dynasty."

The commander of Shanxi made Ma An unable to bear it now.

"Hmph, Governor Xie just said that the Tatars might attack the Jingshi through Baiyangkou and Huyukou, why do you now say that they won't do their best to attack the Jingshi?"

Xie Shenxin said I ignore you, are you too energetic?

Okay, since you're rushing to be slapped in the face, then fulfill you.

Xie Shen smiled and said with great self-cultivation: "Commander Ma makes this a mistake. The Tatars took advantage of the gap in the Great Wall to attack the capital division and poured all the strength of the country into a battle with the Ming Dynasty are obviously two different things, why is the Ma commander confused. ”

Ma An was stunned when he heard this.

"How can these be two different things?"
