Chapter 480: Patrol the Upper Forest

The unexpected harvest in the craftsman's camp made Li Qing really excited for a few days, but as time passed, this excitement slowly subsided, he knew that gunpowder, from being invented, to his formation of lethality, and finally to the formation of absolute weapons and rulers on the battlefield, has gone through too many years, in this era, even if he has his own horizontal bar, so that it is possible for him to plug in the wings and develop rapidly, but if he really wants to use him to change the form of war, maybe he will not be able to see it in his life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At present and even in the next few decades, cold weapons will still be the absolute protagonists on the battlefield. What determines the final outcome of this war cannot be a certain weapon of mass destruction, but depends on the comprehensive strength of politics, economy, people's livelihood, and financial resources in the region under one's rule. The Apocalypse occupies the land of the Central Plains, and has the orthodox status of ruling the Great Chu for hundreds of years, it can be said that it is the time of the day, and the place is favorable, and after the baptism of this drastic change, he basically has the people. If you want to take it the other way, the difficulty is not ordinarily small.

Leaving Shengong County, Li Qing was not in a hurry to return to Dingzhou, but began to inspect all the way, and the first stop was Shanglinli, where barbarians lived. Shanglinli is based on the original city, a few years, has developed into a larger city, with the experience of Dingzhou to expand the outer city, Luo Daoming is familiar with the road, a wide road will divide the city into a regular square, in the city of Shanglin settled barbarians are more than 100,000 people, and the rest are distributed not far from the forest around, respectively engaged in animal husbandry and farming, when the barbarians first moved in, the population ratio in the forest is an absolute advantage, in order to change this top-heavy pattern, Luo Daoming vigorously attracted displaced people to settle in Shanglin, and even opened excellent conditions to dig up people with certain specialties in various areas under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou to come to Shanglinli, which also caused some contradictions within Dingzhou, and even some officials directly sued Li Qing.

Li Qing is a smile on this matter, for him, the free flow of talents is a good thing, the forest can attract talents, if you can't retain talents, that's a problem you need to reflect, not to mention that what Luo Daoming did is also taking into account the stability of the forest, even if there are some of his little selfishness, Li Qing can also tolerate it.

In the past few years, the barbarian and Han populations in Shanglin have basically formed a one-to-one ratio.

Yang Yidao, the head of the garrison in Shanglin, is Li Qing's absolute henchman, although the Xuanfeng battalion under his jurisdiction is only the establishment of the battalion, but in fact it has more than 10,000 troops, plus the red cavalry commanded by Lu Dabing, the garrison in Shanglin has reached an astonishing 20,000 people, and in Fuyuan, Wei Xin also commands a force of 6,000 people, although the current focus of this army tends to protect Shengong County, but if necessary, it can quickly cut off the main road to Dingzhou in Shanglinli.

Generally speaking, Li Qing is still very wary of the barbarians, not long after the naturalization of the barbarians, Bayar and some of the generals and nobles of the barbarians still have considerable appeal to these people, and the time required for assimilation is long, and during this time, Li Qing does not want to have any accidents.

At present, in the forest, has formed an economic model with leather industry and animal husbandry as the main force, a large number of leather products are sold from here to all parts of Dachu, at the same time, here is also the largest meat export place in Dingzhou, the farming plan has been going on non-stop, on the periphery of the city in the forest, the green seedlings that can not be seen at a glance make Li Qing overjoyed, all the time, the grain in Dingzhou has made Li Qing a little worried, today's Dingzhou, although barely self-sufficient, but every year still keeps buying food from the outside as a strategic reserve, To prevent natural disasters and long-term wars, with the completion of the integration of the Central Plains by the Apocalypse, it is now difficult to purchase food from the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Walking in the green, Li Qing stopped from time to time, squatted to inspect the condition of these corn seedlings, and saw that the growth was good, and his face couldn't help showing joy.

"Dashuai, in May, we have a bumper harvest of wheat here, and the yield per mu has reached an astonishing 400 catties." Luo Daoming on the side introduced Li Qing very proudly.

"Four hundred catties, it's really good, Lord Luo, how many acres of fertile land have we cultivated here?" Li Qing asked.

"My lord, after several years of reclamation, there are now two million acres of fertile land in Shanglin, and this season's wheat alone has filled the major warehouses in Shanglin, and I see that this autumn's corn will be harvested again!" Locke was beaming. "Moreover, we also interplanted edamame between these corns, and when these edamame beans are collected, not only people can eat them, but also war horses!"

"You're doing a great job!" Li Qing looked at Luo Daoming with appreciation, "Not only do you have a hand in making money, but you are also at ease in this agricultural work!" ”

"The handsome man has won the prize!" Luo Daoming said modestly: "This is mainly related to the policy that the marshal has been inclined to us in the forest, and besides, these water conservancy ditches and so on, if it weren't for the marshal's special care, we really wouldn't have invested so much capital to do it, and now it seems that the marshal is really far-sighted, with these facilities, now we finally don't have to look at the sky to eat." ”

Li Qing smiled and said, "Is the barbarian tribe here still stable now?" ”

Luo Daoming said: "The general barbarian people now live a stable life, and their income is stronger than a day, because the forest takes leather products and meat products as the core industry, they are richer than the average Han people, what is not satisfied, and we Han people, as long as they can eat and eat without worry, they will naturally not have different hearts, of course, there will always be a small number of people stirring up the wind and rain, but they have less and less room to move, one we vigorously kill, and the two are willing to follow them There are fewer people." ”

"Even so, don't take it lightly!" Li Qing stood up, "There is this situation in Shanglin, it is not easy to come by, you need to know that the long causeway of thousands of miles is destroyed by an ant, you are in Shanglin, you must pay attention to the peaceful coexistence of the Han and Barbarian races, between the two races, the hatred is very deep, if you want to digest these hatreds, I am afraid it will take one or two generations, but we will start to grasp it now, encourage Han and Barbarian intermarriage, popularize Han education among the barbarians, and change them little by little." ”

Luo Daoming also said: "Dashuai rest assured, for this problem, we are very clear about the whole government, on top of the policy, we pursue equal treatment, regardless of the barbarians, equal treatment, Shanglin has opened countless schools, are free education, all school-age children, are compulsory school, although the barbarians have their own language, but do not have their own writing, this provides us with an excellent opportunity, Dashuai, I believe, in a few decades, their language will disappear in the long river of history." When the time comes, the whole world will be the king's land! ”

Li Qing smiled slightly, "I heard that you often sent people to give gifts to Ji Yue and An Min?" ”

Li Qing suddenly jumped to this question, and it was a very sensitive question, Luo Daoming's body couldn't help but stiffen, he couldn't guess the true intention of Li Qing to ask this question, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he secretly glanced at Li Qing's face, and saw that he looked as usual, so he boldly said: "Mrs. Jiyue had an accident in Shanglin, Xiaguan has always felt guilty, and Shizi Anmin was also born in Shanglin, Xiaguan watched him grow stronger and stronger from his dying life to later, and he has a special affection for Shizi, so, If there are some rare things, they will be collected and given to the prince, and they are not worth much. It's just quite rare! ”

Luo Daoming's words are very natural, but there is a small trap set in the words, Li Qing's two sons, An Min is the elder, and Ji Shi is the heir, all the time, Li Qing has not confirmed that the one is the son of the world, logically speaking, of course, it is the son of the world, and it is the son of the world, and now Luo Daoming's words are outside the words, but An Min is called the son, which has the meaning of testing Li Qing.

Luo Daoming said this, naturally there is a reason for him, such as today Qi is still alive is already a secret of Da Chu is not open, I am afraid that in addition to Shengdou Xiaomin does not know, people with a little status are tacit, and the Li family and the Apocalypse will compete for the world is almost ready to come out, in this case, the status of Allure is a little embarrassing, on the contrary, although An Min is a concubine, but he is the eldest son, which is worth investing in many people.

Li Qing didn't know if he didn't hear the meaning of Luo Daoming's words, or if he really had something in his heart, and he didn't say anything to correct Luo Daoming, so he changed the topic and jumped to another topic, "Since Shanglin is relatively stable, I want to transfer the 10,000 Red Cavalry commanded by Lu Dabing and put them into the Northern Expedition battlefield, what do you suggest?" ”

Luo Daoming was ecstatic in his heart, Li Qing did not deny it, does it mean that it is affirmed, if it is really An Min who is on the throne at that time, then with his status in the mind of Mrs. Jiyue, the tide is rising at that time, naturally it is not a problem, hearing that Li Qing suddenly jumped to another question, he almost didn't react.

forcibly suppressed his excitement and said: "Marshal, there is no problem, General Lu is gone, there are 10,000 Xuanfeng battalions led by General Yang in Shanglin, plus the government in Shanglin is fast, and the reserves in the countryside are enough to make Shanglin stable and stable, besides, there is still General Wei in Fuyuan!" ”

"You are stable here, I am very happy, so that I can draw more troops out, in fact, after the rise of Shanglinli, Fuyuan City has become a chicken threat, leaving Wei Xin where is it, just in case, since you have no problem here, I am ready to leave only a few troops in Shanglin, Wei Xin I am also ready to transfer away."

Luo Daoming pondered for a moment, "In this case, I suggest that General Yang can divide his subordinates and garrison them in Fuyuan, so that nothing goes wrong!" ”

"That's the meaning of the question!" Li Qing nodded.

While the two were strolling in the fields, Li Qing said: "Since the defeat of the barbarians, all along, in my entire strategic concept, the grassland will be an important support point for me to step on the world, he not only has a broad strategic maneuver space, so that I can worry about the future, but also can provide me with the tens of millions of war horses that Dingzhou Iron Cavalry needs, and now, the Eastern Capital Protectorate you run is even more impressive to me, it seems that soon, this will also become the granary of my Dingzhou." ”

"All the handsome Hongfu!" Locke said.

"Don't be humble!" Li Qing waved his hand and said, "You did a good job, I remember it all in my heart!" ”

Luo Daoming was excited in his heart, and his efforts over the years have finally paid off today.

That night, Li Qing, who returned to Shanglinli City, met with Yang Yidao, Lu Dabing, Luo Daoming, and Wei Xin, who was summoned, especially with Luo Daoming, and the two talked all night behind closed doors, but no one knew what they said.
