Chapter 1578: Build Another Fortress

"What did you find? Jiaxing, are you crazy in your brain? Where does this baby come from? Do you think this is Beijing or Nanjing? Gold and silver treasures everywhere? ”

Qin Mufeng said disdainfully.

"Fart!"

Song Jiaxing shouted: "You bastard who doesn't learn and don't know how to learn, when we just followed the emperor, he used to talk to us about all kinds of strange things, among which he once talked about a kind of oil, which has been forgotten, produced from the ground, ignited when it meets fire, it is a priceless treasure, and it will inevitably prevail in the world in the future, but there is a shortage in the Central Plains, most of which are abundant outside the customs and the West, have you forgotten?" ”

Qin Mufeng blinked his eyes, his expression fell into a daze, obviously trying to remember whether the emperor had said such a thing.

"You pig, you have never taken anything to heart except fighting and drinking!"

Song Jiaxing's teeth itched, and he shouted at the vultures: "Vulture race, give an order, the army will enter Tyumen City, repair here for three days, and then march westward, and send people to find traces of fire oil, once found, report immediately!" ”

"Yes, Overseer!"

The army entered the city of Tyumen, the entire Tyumen was taken over by the Ming army, Qin Mufeng was responsible for collecting grain, in two days, more than half of the grain in Tyumen City was concentrated in the barracks, half robbed and half bought, what Tatar merchants, what Mongolian merchants, what Taixi merchants, who cared about him, all the grain was detained, as for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, it was even simpler, Qin Mufeng had a note, buckled the big seal of the Tianxiong Army Inspector, not only the grain and grass of the Ming merchants, along with the money, were detained, and they were directly asked to return to the Central Plains, holding the note, Go to the household yamen and ask for silver!

The city of Tyuming is full of mourning, those Ming merchants are even more crying and laughing, originally wanted to do business from the land to the Rakshasa country, now it's good, even in Tyuming, forced to sell all the things to the Ming army, fortunately, Qin Inspector is reasonable, gave a fair price, with his big seal, and is not afraid that the household yamen will not admit the account, let's go, let's return......

As for Song Jiaxing, he followed the locals to look for fire oil, near Tyumen, not to mention that there was fire oil everywhere, but there were too many, and even digging a big pit casually, oil could come out, in just three days, Song Jiaxing found five oil wells, just digging down more than a zhang, and the fire oil in it continued to rise.

Baby, baby, this is a priceless treasure......

Song Jiaxing tried to light it, and the fire oil immediately burned, and the flames were vigorous, and it was definitely the fire oil that the emperor said!

Song Jiaxing still remembers that the emperor talked about fire oil, and the solemnity on his face, it is great in the world, it is great in the world, Song Jiaxing's heart is constantly trembling.

"Come on, immediately encapsulate the oil in three iron barrels, and order people to send them back to the Central Plains in the starry night, well, the pen and ink are waiting, and the governor will personally write the chapter and play the emperor!"

Song Jiaxing lay on the bookcase, quickly wrote a letter, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it to the Chinese army.

"Master Overseer, don't you need to use a seal? Inspector Qin......"

The Chinese army hesitated.

"You're worried about!"

Song Jiaxing scolded with a smile, "The letter is naturally written in the name of me and Inspector Qin, what kind of seal is used?" Can the emperor still recognize my handwriting? ”

"Jiaxing, can you have a harvest in the past few days?"

Before Song Jiaxing's words fell, Qin Mufeng had already lifted the curtain and walked in and asked.

"The harvest is naturally great, haha, Mu Feng, let me tell you, this time our Xizheng Province, the biggest credit is not the destruction of Kazan, but this barrel of fire oil, the emperor is of great use, well, it's not good, the emperor will even be directly stationed here, I have already written a letter to send people back to the capital with the oil starry night!"

Qin Mufeng asked, "Brother, is this thing really that important?" Why haven't I remembered when the emperor said such a thing? ”

Song Jiaxing said angrily: "Don't think about it, your pig brain, you have already eaten the emperor's words and wine and beef, I said it very clearly, this place is extremely important, there is absolutely no room for loss, the emperor for the sake of the oil, maybe there are tens of thousands of troops stationed here, it is possible, the value of these words can be compared to gold, you look at those wells, what flows out are barrels of gold......"

Qin Mufeng was so frightened that he didn't dare to talk nonsense, this kind of thing, he has always listened to Xu Yifan and Song Jiaxing, he doesn't have that kind of brain, the best way is not to mix, what the big brother says, then what, just fight and kill the enemy.

"Then what do we do next?"

Qin Mufeng asked.

Song Jiaxing's eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Dong Bichao! ”

Outside, the cavalry guerrilla Dong Bichao walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "Master Inspector!" ”

Song Jiaxing shouted in a deep voice: "I will give you the most difficult task, take the cavalry battalion under your command, stay in Tyumen City, recruit craftsmen, and build fortifications, fortresses, and batteries here according to the highest specifications, all of which are indispensable. Do you understand? ”

Forehead......

Dong Bichao's face turned dark, and in a word, the Master Inspector actually canceled his qualification to participate in the war!

"Master Overseer, this, how can this work, you can't do this, I finally have the opportunity to go on an expedition, where can you not take me......"

Dong Bichao said urgently.

"It's an order, didn't you understand it?"

Song Jiaxing's face sank, and he shouted: "As long as you build Tyuming City into a fortress like Weihuo City, it will be the first merit on this western expedition, even if you cut off the head of the king of the Rakshasa Kingdom, you may not have the credit of this time, do you understand?" If it weren't for the fact that your kid has followed me for many years and is good at military defense, do you think Lao Tzu would hand over this mission to you? It is rich in the fire oil that the emperor attaches great importance to, and its status is more than ten times heavier than that of Weihuo City, and it is a strategic military material, and no one can let others snatch it! ”

Dong Bicheng saw that Song Jiaxing was angry, and his heart was furious, so he had to agree to come down, the first credit? Really......

"Just, my lord, what's the use of building a fort here? We don't have any artillery to use......"

Song Jiaxing said speechlessly: "Useless waste, not now, in the future, the imperial court will definitely mobilize a large army to garrison, how many artillery pieces will be there at that time, in a word, build a military fortress for Lao Tzu according to the highest standards, as for the money and grain, all the money and grain of all the merchants in the city will be requisitioned, and they will be given IOUs for a period of one year, and when the time comes, they will be settled according to fifty percent interest!" The order goes down, and the day after tomorrow, the army will send to Kazan! ”
