The endless plain outside Jincheng seems to be so quiet and harmonious, but in fact, this plain is already filled with very strong murderous intent in the dark.

Zhao Hongyu finally bought 10,000 war horses from the Mongols and handed them over to Governor Kobayashi. After all, if these Japanese soldiers didn't have war horses, it would be difficult to fight against the Eight Banners.

Since he wants to let these Japanese soldiers be cannon fodder and reduce Houjin's military strength by killing and injuring a lot, he really wants to add some equipment to them.

And after having 10,000 war horses, Governor Kobayashi became full of confidence.

He is ambitious to take advantage of this opportunity to perform well, and strive to make some achievements to show Zhao Hongyu.

As the leader, Governor Kobayashi had such an attitude, which in turn affected the other subordinates.

With the spread of this mentality, even those ordinary soldiers are eager to gain some combat exploits from this operation.

According to modern parlance, that is, the military heart is available.

The Japanese soldiers have always been unafraid of battle, especially in the face of death in battle.

This point is almost the same as that of the fierce Eight Banners.

Therefore, for the upcoming confrontation between the Japanese soldiers and the Eight Banners, Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou are very eager to start soon.

On this day, after seeing off President Kobayashi and his soldiers and horses, Zhao Hongyu turned his head sideways and said to Jay Chou: "Do you think they can deal with those Eight Banner Scouts?" I have a hunch that maybe the Houjin army is already on its way to Jincheng. After all, those scouts have been haunting Jincheng for more than a month, and I don't believe that those greedy people in Houjin can still endure it, especially after suffering so much loss under Jingshi City for more than two months. ”

"What Your Highness said is that in fact, I have received reliable information here this morning, and there is indeed an elite army of about 30,000 people in Houjin who has left Shengjing and is on the way to our Jincheng."

Hear the words. Jay responded, and also said a newly obtained piece of information.

Zhao Hongyu raised his eyebrows and said 'oh', and then said: "There is such a thing, I really can't imagine it." However, since Houjin has already sent troops, he must be in a bad situation over there if he wants to come to Daishan, otherwise he should have come to tell us in advance. ”

Zhao Hongyu thought of this guy Dai Shan.

Seeing that His Royal Highness mentioned Dai Shan, and his tone was a little dissatisfied, Jay Chou had to explain: "Your Highness, this information was sent by Dai Shan. Don't wronged him, this guy is now ready to do things for us. That's not daring to be lazy at all. ”

Hearing Jay Chou say this, Zhao Hongyu realized that he had misunderstood Dai Shan.

Turning the horse's head, Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou began to walk towards the city.

The changes in Jincheng now have completely changed compared to more than two months ago.

Straight cement road, neat and clean street. and the scattered pedestrians on the streets, all prove that Jincheng is slowly becoming prosperous.

Where is it like Zhao Hongyu when they first arrived here. But it's only a few families. What a barren land looks like.

Seeing Zhao Hongyu and them slowly straddle the war horses, the pedestrians hid on both sides of the road.

There are also people dressed in gray and wearing strange hats on the streets, constantly directing the pedestrians on the street to give way.

Yes, these people who command pedestrians to give way are dressed as chengguan costumes in modern society in another time and space. I don't know how Lu Dao did it, Zhao Hongyu actually got the city management out here in Jincheng.

And these chengguan are all soldiers of the Ming army under Sun Chuanting.

Because Zhao Hongyu put the imperial army in charge of the military of Jincheng, the security in the city was handed over to Sun Chuanting and they were responsible.

For Zhao Hongyu, such an arrangement. Sun Chuanting could not and would not have any objections.

After all, he followed Zhao Hongyu's side, which was personally ordered by Emperor Zhu Shangwu of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, more than 1,000 Ming soldiers have now become the city managers of Jincheng, which is gradually beginning to become somewhat modern.

And their functions are the same as those of chengguan.

It is forbidden to set up stalls on the streets, defecate in the open, and spit...... These small things need to be handled and managed by the urban management.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhao Hongyu and they have also saved a lot of trouble.

As for the management of these indigenous Ming soldiers, the Ming people of Jincheng were very obedient, and they didn't make any trouble at all.

Compared with the previous empire, when dealing with these things, it will encounter some resistance from the people of the Ming Dynasty, which is completely different.

"Humph! , These people are cheap skins, and they must be managed by a wise person to be convinced, why don't they listen to us when you say that we enforce the law civilly. ”

Jay Chou looked at the pedestrians on the street, and complained with some entanglement and resentment.

Zhao Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's not strange at all, for the Ming people, we are all outsiders, even if we are descendants of the Song people." Therefore, let Sun Chuanting, who is also a Ming person, manage them, and there will be no such trouble. For the officials, these Ming people are still very afraid. ”

Alas!

may be because the generation gap of the times is too big, and Jay Chou also knows that Zhao Hongyu is telling the truth, but his heart is not so comfortable.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about these little things, with the existence of these chengguan, we have saved a lot of trouble. They even have to take care of some of the trivial things in the family, so you can focus all your energy on the military. Zhao Hongyu saw Jay Chou with a depressed face, lowered his head and looked a little sullen, smiled and raised his hand to pat him lightly on the shoulder.

"Where did we just go?"

"Speaking of Daishan, this guy." , Jay replied.

Zhao Hongyu noticed that the topic of the two was a little off, so he turned the topic back again.

"Hmmm! Dai Shan, this guy, doesn't seem to have a big say in Houjin. Otherwise, there would not be such an army coming towards Jincheng now, which shows that Huang Taiji has slowly grasped the military and political power, and Dai Shan is obviously inferior. “

Zhao Hongyu pondered for a moment and said some of his judgments on the situation on Shengjing's side.

Jay Chou didn't care about this issue at all, so he said to Zhao Hongyu: "In fact, the chess piece of Daishan is completely dispensable for us." If he can hold back Huang Taiji's retreat, of course it will be good. It doesn't matter if you can't put it off. ”

Jay Chou said, while his eyes flashed with a cold glint.

"Does Huang Taiji think that with this little soldier and horse, he will be able to destroy us and Jincheng? This is simply wishful thinking, we are not muddy. Jay Chou's hand grabbed the reins tightly.

Zhao Hongyu laughed and responded: "Of course we are not afraid, but this will also be a little troublesome, right?" I'm the person who is most afraid of trouble, which makes me hate it. “

"Your Highness, why don't we send troops to fight Houjin. Fight to destroy them? Hearing this, Jay Chou asked with some puzzlement. If Houjin could be destroyed, then such a trouble would not exist. ”

Yes, such a question has actually been holding back in Jay Chou's heart for a long time.

Don't say anything else. The Imperial Army has advanced weapons, and there is no pressure at all on the Golden Eight Banners. In particular, there was also a powerful artillery in the Imperial Army. There is absolutely no need to worry about the post-gold eight flags.

Whether it's a field battle or a siege. Houjin can't be his opponent at all.

In that case, why did His Highness waste time building Jincheng, why didn't he destroy Houjin in one fell swoop?

It is impossible for Jin to withstand the attack of the Imperial Army.

"The population of Houjin is more than 2 million, and there are more than 700,000 soldiers who can fight." , Zhao Hongyu looked at Jay Chou with a puzzled and puzzled face, took a deep breath and then spoke. "There are twenty-five thousand imperial troops here in Jincheng. There were 10,000 soldiers in Kyushu, plus Sun Chuanting's 5,000 Ming troops, only 40,000 soldiers and horses. “

Zhao Hongyu began to analyze the current military comparison and situation for Jay Chou.

"Yes, our Imperial Army has muskets, and powerful artillery. But this does not guarantee that we will win the war. Once the Houjin side breaks through the cauldron and the whole people are soldiers, and they carry out a harassment war against us, how much strength can we exert ourselves? “

Jay Chou listened to Zhao Hongyu's words, and began to ponder in his heart.

"Oh no, it's not certain that we will be defeated by the other side. It's unlikely, but it's not impossible. Zhao Hongyu had a serious expression on his face, extremely serious. Therefore, it is safe to build Jincheng first, so that we have a solid base, and then consider this problem. ”

Jay Chou nodded slowly, and after some pondering, he had to admit that Zhao Hongyu's statement was still quite correct.

There is nothing wrong with the Imperial Army being very strong, but it cannot be said that it is absolutely invincible.

It is important to know that any accident can happen in war.

Once there is such an accident and Zhao Hongyu is damaged, then he Jay Chou will be a great sinner.

"Don't forget, now that Qiu Zhicheng has arrived in Houjin, his business is going smoothly now. As long as we have been on board for a year and a half, so that those old men in Houjin have become big smokers, and at that time we will carry out military strikes, and we will get twice the result with half the effort. When Zhao Hongyu said this, a negative expression appeared on his face.

It's not like that, Jay Chou suddenly remembered this matter.

Fushou paste is now a very popular commodity in Shengjing, but all the Houjin Eight Banners who have used this thing have fallen in love with this thing.

Especially after Qiu Zhicheng also came up with a pyramid scheme model like the rat club, the sales and promotion of Fushou paste showed a blowout trend.

In this regard, throughout the entire Houjin high-level, no one has seen the harm caused by Fushou ointment.

Just like Zhao Hongyu said, it only takes a year and a half, so ...... Hey, hey, hey.

Forty miles away from Jincheng, a reed swing overgrown with dense reeds, dozens of Houjin detectives rode out of the horse, and behind one of the Houjin detectives' war horses, there was a long rope, and the other end of the rope dragged a woman who had been unconscious (to be continued......
