When the snow began to fall in the sky, it was completely dark. The camp of the Ming army is located, but it is a brilliant light. Because the flying fox mouth was already in hand, Shi Tianze went to the camp to surrender to Cheng again, so the Ming army went down to the Ming village tonight, and the generals could also use the bonfire to keep warm.

In the tent of King Chen Dexing, several tables have been opened at this time. The generals of the Ming army were all in the big tent, and they accompanied the confidants and generals brought by Shi Tianze to raise a glass and drink. And Chen Dexing and several of the most respected generals of the Ming Army, such as Land Rover, Wang Wei, Zhao Fu, etc., just toasted Shi Tianze at the main table. Guo Kan, who came with Shi Tianze, had already left overnight at this time and returned to his own army. His Silver Armor Division is the vanguard, and he has already entered the Flying Fox Pass at this moment. The Zhenghei Flag Horse Team, which acted with him, even put the sentry on the west side of Taihang Mountain.

Shi Tianze came galloping all the way on horseback and traveled 300 miles, but he was not tired at all at this time, but he kept talking about the war with the Mongolian army, and his mouth was full of the strength of the Tang army. His eloquence turned out to be good, and the situation of the 150,000 troops of the Tang and Mongolian sides fighting in Taiyuan was vividly described by him! However, most of the generals who followed Chen Dexing had a stable complexion, and none of them took the Tang Army's "good war" seriously - the strength of the Tang Army was much worse than that of the Ming Army!

And Chen Dexing didn't move, just looked at the elderly Shi Tianze in front of him over and over again. He knew that many of the Shi family's sons and nephews died in his own hands! The two sides are still enemies. Looking at Shi Tianze's expression now, how can he have a little grudge? This person...... He's a hero, too!

Outside the king's tent, waves of cheers came one after another. It was the soldiers of the Ming army cheering for the capture of the Flying Fox Pass. Chen Dexing had already regarded the occupation of Feihukou as the first victory of the Ming army, and ordered the whole army to have a full meal to celebrate. in order to boost morale.

And the high morale of the Ming army left a deep impression on Shi Tianze - this army reminded him of the Mongol army. Not Kublai Khan's Mongol army, but the Mongol army of Genghis Khan's time that he saw in his youth! The Mongols at that time were so united. Such self-confidence, such fearlessness of hardships and dangers, there is no twilight up and down...... and the Mongols under Kublai Khan, as if they were two species.

This is probably the Rising Army, right? Today's Ming army seems to have the same temperament, the only difference from the former Mongolian army is that their equipment is unbelievably good.

Shi Tianze found that the proportion of soldiers with steel armor in the Ming army was at least seventy percent! If you take into account the fact that crossbowmen and artillerymen did not have to wear heavy armor, almost all hand-to-hand combatants. It's all steel armor.

These tens of thousands of pairs of steel armor alone are worth tens of millions!

Chen Dexing is really rich......

Shi Tianze didn't know that due to the rapid increase in the output of Nanfen steel, the blacksmiths who originally served the Mongolian army in Yanjing City now quickly learned to make steel armor, and also opened a large number of blacksmith shops, resulting in a large increase in the production of steel armor - in fact, the production process and man-hours of steel armor are far less than those of zhajia. The former is hot forging, and if there is a hydraulic hammer, it is not difficult to produce at all. In the latter, thousands of pieces of iron had to be forged. It is also necessary to punch holes and thread ropes on it, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Therefore, now the price of steel armor in the Northern Ming Dynasty has dropped to five or six hundred, which is about the same as the price of the Mongolian cold-forged fish scale armor, so it will be equipped in large quantities.

Cheers outside. Suddenly, it was one level higher, and it was almost like overturning the king's tent! Chen Dexing raised his drunken eyes and said with a smile: "We are warriors of the Ming Dynasty." It's all about fighting day and night, and this time they finally look forward to a big battle! ”

Shi Tianze's thick eyebrows. Twist it slightly. He began to study Confucianism at the age of forty, and now he is half a Confucian student—this army that thinks about war day and night. In the eyes of Confucianism, it seems that it is not a blessing of the country!

"If there is chaos today, it is a good thing for military generals to think about war." Shi Tianze said insincerely.

Chen Dexing laughed and looked at Shi Tianze, who had a gray beard, "In the future, the Central Plains will be pacified, and there will still be a place for such soldiers to think about war!" Because for the Ming Dynasty, the world is no longer limited to the homeland of China, but the whole earth! ”

Shi Tianze knew what the "earth" was, and of course he had heard about the gambling battle in Putuo Mountain...... Although the winner of the gambling battle has not yet been decided, the theory of the circle of the earth has been recognized by astronomers on the Mongolian side - the astronomy of this great Mongolian country is certainly ahead of the Southern Song Dynasty! Because of the ban on folk research on astronomy, astronomy in the Song Dynasty lagged behind as early as the Northern Song Dynasty. What's more, Mongolia has also recruited astronomers from the Tianfang Sect in the world, and is ahead of the world in astronomical observations. Therefore, many scholars have come to the theory of the circle of the earth by calculating and observing the stars.

Seeing Shi Tianze's silence, Chen Dexing said again: "Mr. Shi should know that King Gu Su took the Western Zhou Dynasty as his teacher, and the Zhou Dynasty divided the world in the past, and practiced the law of Xia Jun and the people, so that my Huaxia expanded from a corner of Henan and Shaanxi to today's territory. However, after the unification of Qin, he abandoned the Zhou Dynasty's method of dividing the world, thinking that he already had all the world, and only wanted to seek eternity, completely forgetting the ambition of his ancestors to open up the Quartet. It's really a great misfortune for me in China! If the lone king is the king of China, he will change his ways, and then practice feudalism, and the meritorious princes, as long as they want, can get the fiefdom overseas and become the king of a country! I don't know if Mr. Shi intends to be a king? ”

Although Shi Tianze drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk at all, and his mind was still very psychic!

Chen Dexing's "feudalism" is not to take the basic plate of Huaxia out and divide it into feuds, but to kick "princes" like himself overseas. Of course, because the Mongols had already established a world empire, and Shi Tianze also knew some extraterritorial things, he would not treat everything outside of Middle-earth as a wild land - it may be considered a wilderness compared to Jiangnan, but it is really not bad compared to the north...... If it hadn't been ravaged by the Mongols!

"It's already old here......," Shi Tianze smiled bitterly, touching his gray beard, "This old bone is going overseas, I'm afraid that I will die in a foreign land and never come back." ”

Chinese do not know when they became extremely attached to their hometown, regarded the death of a guest in a foreign land as a very tragic thing, and produced some filial sons who "parents are here, not far away". It is said that it was handed down from ancient times, and I don't know if the princes of the Zhou Dynasty who were divided out will return to their hometowns all the way?

Chen Dexing just laughed, waved his hand and said: "Mr. Shi is old, and there are always young people in the Yongqing family...... There are always people who have ambitions in all directions! The lone king can agree with the governor of Shi here that if the Shi family is willing to go to the territory to build a country, then he can divide it into two, and half of it can go out to seal the country and take away the army and retainers. Half of them can stay in the country and become the noble courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. It can also be for a period of 20 years, and within 20 years, the historian can take the land of Taiyuan as the rear of the sea and seal the country. In the past twenty years, King Lone will give the Shi family three opportunities to extraterritorial feudalism. However, after the expiration of the twenty-year period of the Taiyuan fiefdom, it must be handed over! ”

Later in his words, his tone had already relaxed, and there was a vague threat in his words. The location of the feudal princes can only be outside, not inside...... The land of China is indivisible! On China's territory, there can only be nobles, not princes - the two are completely different concepts, even if the nobles are crowned kings, they only own tens of thousands of acres of granges, and they are not qualified to divide the lower-level nobles.

And the princes and kings, that is the real king of a country, with territory, people, army, can establish a government, can divide their own nobles and even princes!

Now Chen Dexing thinks that he will soon win the world, and it is time to give the princes of the world three ways out - either go abroad to develop their own country, or hand over the army and territory, and become the nobles and courtiers of the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, Chen Dexing also considered that going out to build a country was to bring the army, nobles and countrymen, and also needed a certain amount of financial support. Therefore, all the princes who are willing to go abroad can keep their territory for twenty years. If it is Chen Ming's hero or the Chen royal family to build the country, it will naturally be funded by Chen Ming's court.

As for the third way, that is to prepare for war with Chen Ming!

Shi Tianze didn't know Chen Dexing's intentions, but for the Shi family, it was not bad to have a choice to go to sea and seal the country - even if it was to seal a feudal town now, and the world would be peaceful in the future, it would still be necessary to cut the feudal domain! Isn't it such a tradition in China since Qinhang County? Don't say that it is a king with a different surname, that is, a king with the same surname, and in the end, they have not all been stripped of their fiefs?

Speaking of which, overseas closure is really a solution...... Sealed overseas, it is far away from China itself, and it is not enough to find it on both sides, so there is naturally no need to cut the feudal domain.

Thinking of this, Shi Tianze stood up, bowed to Chen Dexing, and said solemnly: "Minister Shi Tianze for the children and grandchildren of the Shi family, thank the king for the grace of the country!" ”

Praise the minister and thank you, this Shi Tianze is now Chen Dexing's courtier! Chen Deqi helped Shi Tianze and said with a smile: "Shi Qing's family can vote for me in the Ming Dynasty, which is really the luck of the Ming Dynasty and the luck of the world." Now that the lone king has not yet been proclaimed emperor, he can't be crowned a prince, so he will first seal Shi Qing as a prince of Taiyuan. ”

"Thank you to the king." Shi Tianze wanted to bow down again, but was helped by Chen Dexing, and he was exempted from bowing.

Chen Dexing said again: "Shi Qing, after all, King Gu and Li Pu are Weng's sons-in-law, and it is always ominous to meet each other, can Shi Qing do it for him?" ”

Shi Tianze said in his heart: "Ominous, you also led an army of 100,000 to kill it?" However, he only frowned and said: "The minister only has 20,000 soldiers, and I am afraid that I can't beat Li Pu......"

Chen Dexing waved his hand and said, "It's not 20,000, but 50,000." Zhang Rou and Yan Zhongji were both restrained by Shi Qing and recruited Li Pu. There is no need to take Li Pu's life, just trap him in Daizhou. Is there a way for Shi Qing? ”

Shi Tianze breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "This matter is easy to hear, the king can drive the army to the great advance, and suddenly appear near the left side of Daizhou, Li Pu will be terrified, and he will definitely defend Daizhou, and then the minister will order someone to dig a long trench to trap him."
