[Lumine] Volume 2 Winter Song Chapter 293 Grain Storage
Where a caravan has trodden, news spreads.
Under Zong Mao's deliberate arrangement, Zhai Zhe married a flat wife outside the Saiwai, and the news of the arrival of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, to congratulate him soon spread throughout Datong. The wedding by the sea of Dai is the work that brought Zhai Zhe's prestige to the peak, whether in Xuanda Town or Mongolia.
Omubu Khan did not dare to show his face that night, but after returning to naturalization, he immediately selected 200 people from the original Ulan and Chefeng's personal soldiers to be sent to the Liangcheng barracks as a dowry. Lu Xiangsheng looked down on Tumut, so he could only tie himself to Zhai Zhe. A woman's status depends half on herself and half on her mother's family, and he also has to help Ulan lift the façade.
Chongzhen ten years, early August.
Under the mediation of Zhai Zhe, Lu Xiangsheng and Ezhe met in Yanghewei Dry Horse Terrace. This was once the place where the Ming Dynasty canonized Tumut Altan as the king of Shunyi, Lu Xiangsheng chose this place with a deep meaning, and Ezhe did not shy away from it, and the intention of the two sides to show goodwill is very obvious.
This move made the Ombu Khan of the Naturalization City even more restless, and if the Ming wanted to choose a Mongol tribe to cooperate, the powerful Chahar would obviously be more suitable than the Tumut, which would be directly related to the future of the Tumuts and their status in the Naturalization City. Since the eight major businesses such as the Shangmeng settled in Guihua City, pedestrians have been on the streets one after another every day, and in a month, a total of eight caravans have gone to Mobei and Moxi, and each caravan has nearly 100 people. What a wealth this is, how can it not make the neighboring Chahar tribe blush.
The morning sun is rising.
In the mountains and forests on the edge of Liangcheng, two hundred and fifty-two Tumuts stood in front of Ulan. Most of them had only only arrived from the Tumut tribe, and some had been following the princess for months.
"Today I will go back to Daming, there is no need for your protection, from now on you will listen to the orders of the commander of the car, and serve under the command of the Lord of a thousand households, so as not to damage the prestige of my Tumut!"
"Yes!" There was a roar from the Tumuts.
Che Feng was dressed in a strong suit and stood in front of everyone and saluted, "Please rest assured, princess!" ”
He waited for half a year just for this moment, Zhai Zhe wants to rebuild the Mongolian camp, not only limited to the Tumuts, as long as the Mongols who are willing to pay for their lives can be collected into the camp, whether it is from the northern tribe of the desert or from the eastern tribe of the desert, and he is the best choice to lead the Mongolian camp. In order to expand the army, Zhai Zhe is really unscrupulous, in order to fight Mo Nan again in the coming year.
"Forget about Tumut, Lord Qianhu is your current leader!" Wulan's expression was stern, this was the only thing she could do for Zhai Zhe.
Three miles away, in the barracks tent in the mountains and forests of Liangcheng.
Zhai Zhemo rubbed the knife on his waist, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was contemplating. The blade is dark and dull, and a white line near the edge of the blade glows coldly, like a white fish belly. This knife was given to him by Lu Xiangsheng at the wedding banquet, and when he tried it, he knew that it was really a treasure knife, and the Qi knives in the army were not as sharp.
"My lord, I want to see you every time!"
"Come in!"
Feng Qin's armor was neatly dressed, and he entered the door and saluted, "See your lord!" ”
"Are the army's grain and grass supplies, gunpowder, and shipbuilders ready?"
"It's all right!"
"I will return to Datong today, and I will not return to the grassland for more than ten days. In the afternoon today, you led your troops and horses to the Tuoketuo grassland, and there were Chahar Khan's tent cavalry along the way to respond! ”
"Yes!" Feng Qin has been waiting for this order.
Lu Xiangsheng met with Ezhe, and the establishment of a naval army at Junzijin Ferry was the content of the discussion. Lu Xiangsheng wanted to keep the Chahar tribe in Monan and the Ming Dynasty as horns, so he had to give Ezhe a safety guarantee. Zhai Zhe's advice on guarding the Hetao on the basis of the natural dangers of the Yellow River is the only feasible method. With only the pitiful water warfare ability of the Jurchens, except for the three months when the ice and snow were frozen in winter, the naval army of 500 to 1,000 people was enough to block the river.
"The Hannu of the Gezhiletu tribe are at your disposal, but remember not to get involved in disputes between the Tumuts and the Chahars."
"The last general understands!"
Zhai Zhe picked up the waist knife on the desk and weighed it in his hand, and put it on the table again, the knife that Lu Xiangsheng gave him was not only a knife, but also a weight and expectation for him. So where does he go from here?
Feng Qin raised his head, staring at Zhai Zhe with a pair of starry eyes, and couldn't guess what he was struggling with.
"Although you are under the banner of the Tumuts, you must know that the Hannu of Tumut are Tumutes, and the cavalry and navy under your command are the border troops of the Ming Dynasty, so you must not fall into the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhai Zhe pondered for a moment, and then said: "Not every Tumut people care about their Han slaves, you should try your best to turn those people into your help in guarding the Han Village." ”
"The last general will listen to the teachings of your lords!"
"There's one thing you have to be clear!" Zhai Zhe picked up the waist knife on the desk, his wrist was as fast as lightning, and it was put into the sheath, out of sight and out of mind, "I rebuilt Hanzhai not only to deal with the attack of the Qing captives, but also to build it into a supply base for the army outside the fortress. ”
Every time I look up, I don't know why.
"For specific matters, Zong Mao will contact you, in short, I want to store at least enough food for the army for three months in Hanzhai, as well as gunpowder, armor, long arrows and other materials!" Although Zhai Zhe made a decision, he still couldn't get rid of the entanglement in his heart, and he felt that he was ashamed of Lu Gong. He did these measures to guard against the Ming Dynasty, if one day Lu Xiangsheng abandoned him outside the fortress, he could rely on this cottage to get a respite.
"This matter is an absolute secret in the army, and you must not talk about it to anyone, and you must be extremely cautious when materials enter Hanzhai." Zhai Zhe accentuated the tone of exhortation. This matter was handed over to Feng Qin, and he was very relieved. Zong Mao would pass the accounts of the Guò merchant to transfer these goods to the Mongols, thus concealing the Ming Xuanda Town. The attitude of several generals in the army towards Daming made him extremely cautious about this matter, Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo and Lei Yanqian were all from the Ming border army, and the people's hearts were unpredictable. As long as this matter reached Lu Xiangsheng's ears, the suspicion it caused would even ruin all his previous efforts.
"The last general understands what the adults mean!" Feng Qin used a long sentence to express that he really understood Zhai Zhe's words. He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask much, Da Ming couldn't catch up with the Qianhu Lord who brought himself up for a young man like him who grew up outside the Saiwai.
"Hmmm! Go back to the camp and get ready to go, start in the afternoon, no need to ask me again! ”
"Yes!" Retire at every time.
Zhai Zhe pulled out the swarthy waist knife again.
This is a strategy that Liu Suifeng offered him. Since ancient times, rabbits and dead dogs have been cooked, and birds have been hidden with bows, if Lu Xiangsheng Xuanda's new army is trained to be able to guard Xuanda, and after cooperating with Chahar to control Monan, he will no longer need him Zhai Zhe, and he will never be allowed to profit from the business to raise the army. At that time, if he is still a third-grade general, I am afraid that he will never come out again, because no one in the officialdom will believe in him, a military general recruited from outside the Saiwai.
"Will Lu Gong really do this?" The knife doesn't give him an answer.
"Regardless of whether Lu Gong will be like this or not, at least this move will keep me prepared!" Zhai Zhecai now has also become only convinced of his own strength, but why did Liu Suifeng, the son of an official eunuch, give himself such an idea that is obviously opposed to the imperial court, is it because his family property was encroached upon by the official gentry.
In the afternoon of the same day, two columns of soldiers and horses walked out of the Liangcheng barracks, all the way to the west and all the way to the south, Zhai Zhe and the newly married Wulan embarked on the road back to Datong.
