Chapter 1577: Found a Treasure
Xu Yifan said with a smile: "The emperor can rest assured, this time the reason why the minister arranged for Mu Feng and Jiaxing to go on the expedition is that he has the idea of victory, Mu Feng is the best at using cavalry, coming and going like the wind, unpredictable, Jia Xing is as careful as hair, long sleeves and good at dancing, two people partner, complement each other, as long as they don't go too deep into the Rakshasa country, just take Kazan, there is still no problem, well, all the way to march 6,000 miles, 20,000 fine cavalry, plus the rocket battalion with the army, compared to the east of the Rakshasa country, it will be easy to break through, No one can help them, unless, the Rakshasa Kingdom uses more troops than more than twice the main force of the Tianwei Army, otherwise, we just need to sit back and wait for their good news. ”
Li Yan smiled: "More than twice the strength of the elite cavalry? Where did the Rakshasa Kingdom come from with so many elite main cavalry? You must know that in Mobei, you ate 40,000 of their elite horsemen in one go, do you still think that most of the elite horsemen in the Rakshasa Kingdom are like ants? ”
The three of them burst out laughing.
The three of them don't have any worries about Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing, unless the main force in the Rakshasa country is pouring into the nest, or encountering a large-scale plague, otherwise, no one can help Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing, the two of them can be called the mainstay of the Ming army!
Eight thousand miles away from the capital, Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing are still leading the elite cavalry to continuously advance towards the hinterland of the Rakshasa country, along the way, the local forces of the Rakshasa country are descending, and there is no resistance in front of the Tianwei army's elite cavalry, it is completely a crushing situation, the largest number of troops in each town is only a few hundred people, where can they block the attack of 20,000 elite cavalry?
Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing advanced four thousand miles to the west in one breath, it has been more than two months since the troops were dispatched, and the grain and grass in the rear have completely kept up with the speed of the Tianwei army's elite cavalry.
Pushed west from Kulen for more than 4,000 miles, but it had already entered the territory of Tyumen, which was less than 2,000 miles away from Kazan, and 20,000 horsemen came to Tyumen, which was not so much a city as a huge village and town, with about forty or fifty thousand inhabitants, and was called the city of ten thousand.
As early as four hundred years ago, when Genghis Khan led the Mongols to the west, he had garrisoned 10,000 troops here, and the name of the city of 10,000 people also came from this, three or four hundred years of history have passed since now, most of the inhabitants here are Tatars, and nearly half are Russians, three or four hundred years, here has changed from a military city to a transit point connecting the East and the West.
In addition to the 15,000 or 6,000 elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army, there are also four or five thousand elite cavalry drawn from various Mongolian departments, which are quite familiar with this area, at least not unfamiliar, and even the locals still speak a bad Mongolian language, which facilitates the communication of the Western Expeditionary Army.
"Mu Feng, we rushed here from Kulun City in one go, saying that it is four thousand miles, I think there are five thousand miles, there are no people everywhere, this kind of bird does not, I really don't want to come, what is the use of this land to come? Drought, cold, planting nothing grows, and robbing it is also a burden, how can we defend against it? There are more garrisons, there will be huge problems with the supply of baggage in the rear, there are fewer garrisons, once the Rakshasa country comes back, we can't resist it, the food is tasteless, it's a pity to abandon it......"
Song Jiaxing sighed.
Qin Mufeng pursed his lips and replied: "Whatever, the emperor once said that as long as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a real bird that does not, then no one is allowed to snatch it away from the Ming Dynasty, we just have to occupy it, as for how to defend it, it is a matter between the emperor and the eldest brother, we are just working, hehe, don't bother that brain......"
"Brain, have you grown a brain? You've got cow dung in your head! Cow dung! ”
Song Jiaxing said angrily, "Just you kid, stupid people have stupid blessings, except for fighting and killing, you never decorate anything else, when you marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to a baby, and send it to my house, I will raise it, otherwise, when you grow up like you and become a mallet, Old Man Huang won't cry to death?" ”
Qin Mufeng was furious and roared: "Fart, Song Jiaxing, you shut up Lao Tzu, there is so much nonsense there, Lao Tzu is going to get married anyway, you are special, your daughter-in-law still doesn't know where it is!" Do you still have the face to say about me? ”
"Okay, okay, you two, you've walked all the way, you've quarreled all the way, what's the matter, I can't figure it out even if I'm dead, Xu Butang is the wrong string, and he actually let you two big men be partners, I hope I can return to the yurt alive this time......"
The vultures are going to cry, the two of them quarrel, and every time they pull him over to judge, but the two of them are quite unreasonable, and if they are not careful, they will be beaten, thinking that they are the first warrior in Mongolia, and they are unlucky to be angry with these two people.
"Shut up!"
The two men shouted in unison.
Wu Shosai simply closed his mouth, the two brothers quarreled all the way, but as soon as they made a move, they were two people beating themselves, and they didn't allow others to help, they didn't want to fight, they just couldn't run if they wanted to, or be honest as a follower, aggrieved, aggrieved, next time I see the minister, I must let him compensate himself!
"Vultures, where are you ahead?"
Wu Shosai said in a sullen voice: "Tyumen City, is the largest city in this area within a radius of one or two thousand miles, the population should be fifty or sixty thousand people, although it is not as rich as the Central Plains, but because it is an important town for trade transit, there is a lot of grain and grass on weekdays, but the price is more expensive!" ”
"Expensive?"
Qin Mufeng sneered: "I know, scarcity is expensive, these businessmen sit on the ground and start the price, right?" Think beautifully, honestly sell it to us at a fair price, everything is negotiable, otherwise, grab it all clean, and let them cry and have no place to cry! ”
"Master Overseer, Lord Wutie, I've only said half of it!"
The Mongolian capital on the side, Gessel, replied: "This place is not as rich as the Central Plains, but it is rich in one thing, that is, fire oil, the fire oil that comes out of the ground, is everywhere, these fire oil is not as good as the oil of the Ming Empire, once burned, it is very powerful!" ”
"Kerose?"
Qin Mufeng didn't react, but Song Jiaxing suddenly took the war horse away, stopped, and asked, "You mean that fire oil is produced here, and it is produced in the ground, not the oil squeezed by manpower?" ”
Gessel hurriedly replied: "Yes, Master Overseer, it is from the ground, and sometimes, you need to dig down a foot or two deep, and you can see the oil bubbling up, just like a spring!" ”
"Haha, Mu Feng, we have found a treasure, we have found a treasure!"
Song Jiaxing laughed suddenly!
