106 Pre-war preparations
In King Jing's mansion, Mu Jingyi's fingers crossed the map.
It is a place surrounded by mountains to the east and north, the sea to the west, and a smooth road to the south.
Here, there is also a name called the Kansai Corridor, which is another name for Northland. King Jing was here and established a Guanningjin defense line.
On the eastern border of the Northland is the Great Xianbei Mountain, and over the past is the grassland where the Tartars gather.
The terrain of Yanshan Mountain in the north is dangerous, which is a natural obstacle.
The eastern transnational coastline is the Goryeo Kingdom and the Bangzi Kingdom.
Further south, there is Lu Pass, which is like a big lock, firmly locking the land passage from the north to the imperial court.
Luguan, this is a city that has been built since a very early period and connected by the Great Wall. It is known as the unparalleled key of the two capitals, and the sea and the green mountains are pillowed.
Luguan, in the era of underdeveloped military and transportation, this is an insurmountable Xiongguan.
So, in fact, the Northland is a place of exile that has been kept out of the Lu Pass.
The emperor's original intention was to spread King Jing far away, so he gave him the northern land.
In the emperor's view, going to the north is a proposition.
As long as the Tartars climb over the Great Xianbei Mountain, that vast land will be in no danger to defend. At that time, King Jing died at the hands of the Tartars, as long as he expressed his grief at the right time, there would naturally be ministers who would come out to ask him to mourn.
The idea is perfect, the reality is skinny.
He didn't expect that in a short period of time, the unruly back army would be subdued by a teenager.
The Tiger Charm has been given and will not be withdrawn easily.
Therefore, now the emperor can only comfort himself and regard the northern land as the first line of defense of the imperial court against foreign races.
In the emperor's mind, the ideal state is that King Jing can't hold it, so the Lu Pass will lock them and the Tartars firmly outside it.
As for the people of the Northland, I'm sorry, but history is always written with blood donations.
However, the characteristics of the Northland, which is surrounded by enemies on three sides, also breeds a lot of business opportunities, because it is relatively close to everywhere and can be used as a place for foreign merchants to exchange goods.
Wealth and danger are sought, which is why there are many wealthy families in the Northland.
Let's talk about the topography of the Northlands. As the saying goes, the terrain is the helper of the soldiers. The terrain of the Northlands, on the other hand, is a drag.
The north is long and narrow, and the battle line is too wide to defend. Even after so many years, King Jing has continued to build artificial defense lines, but he still can't take care of them all.
So every year, there are always Tartars who break through into the hinterland from the camp fighting on the front and plunder the people.
The Guanningjin defense line is actually a large and small city built along the direction of Daxianbei Mountain. Between the cities, the distance between them is one mile, and the distance is not more than two miles, and the city is fortified by the city, and the enemy is divided into pieces, and the cities watch and help each other.
But it was such a seemingly simple line of defense that actually blocked the Tartars' attacks again and again, and I have to say that King Jing is extremely talented in military affairs.
Further to the hinterland, it is also a large and small city built, and the Guanning Jin defense line can be regarded as the difference between the outer and inner periphery.
Between the major cities, there are small villages and all kinds of fields.
Xingcheng is a very inner city, and Luojiazhuang is a small village very close to Xingcheng.
"General Wu, what's going on on the Western Front?" Mu Jingyi asked.
"There are a small number of soldiers on the Tartar side who have crossed the Great Xianbei Mountain, but the number is not particularly large, it seems that most of them are tentative, there is no movement for the time being, and our people are already on standby at Yingenmen."
"How's the northern route?"
"It's already snowing in Yanshan, it's icy and snowy, and the winter over there is basically no way to pass, and Weiyuanmen has always been patrolled, so it's not a big problem," General Han stood up and said.
"What about the Eastern Front?"
"There is no movement in Goryeo, the sea is calm, there are no ships, and there is nothing wrong with the east gate of the town", said General Hana.
"Very good, it seems that there is a high probability that it is a Tartar on the Western Front, and I can't help it."
"Lord Wang, looking at the appearance of this year, they don't seem to plan a large-scale attack, but now the people of Xingcheng are a little uneasy, do you want to suppress it?" Wei Yuanzhi asked.
The corners of Mu Jingyi's mouth twitched: "Don't panic, how can you let those people take the initiative to leave the Northland?" ”
Feng Bosong also touched his beard and said: "That's right, by taking advantage of this small-scale attack of the Tartars to create some panic, we can completely control it." It's a good time to exclude dissidents."
"Lord Wang, the guard of Luguan, this year he was replaced by Liang Zhitian, this person is not very easy to deal with. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. At that time, if the Tartars come in on a large scale, I am afraid that as soon as the city gate is closed, he will abandon my northern land", General Liu was a little worried.
"Well, the mines of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, what's the situation now?"
"Back to the prince, it has already achieved initial results, but it can't be put on yet, some formulas are not very suitable and are being adjusted", the second elder of Tianji Pavilion stood up and replied.
"How much longer?" Mu Jingyi frowned.
The second elder wiped the sweat from his face: "Lord Wang, this, this time is really impossible."
"You mean, this year I have to rely on my countless good men to buy you more time with flesh and blood, right? Well? ”
The back of the second elder was wet: "Lord Wang, I will definitely go all out."
Mu Jingyi's fingers tapped on the table: "Give you another month, I don't care what method you use, you can only succeed, not fail"
"Yes, Lord Wang", the second elder agreed and stepped back.
"Su Kongqing", Mu Jingyi said.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates are here", Su Kongqing stepped forward.
"This year's glass greenhouse is related to our hope for the future, this king hopes that you will stay in Luojia Village, no matter what, keep the greenhouse, understand?" Mu Jingyi glanced at him.
"But Lord Wang, the front line ......", Su Kongqing was a little unhappy.
"No, yes, take the order!"
"Yes!"
……
"Huh? Master Su, why are you back? Luo Xiaoqiao looked at the dejected Su Kongqing and asked.
"You have to take care of it!"
Luo Xiaoqiao: ...... Again, when I love you.
"Didn't you do something wrong and be exiled to me?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked in a low voice.
Su Kongqing turned his back and ignored her.
"If you don't say it, don't say it, sooner or later I'll know", after speaking, Luo Xiaoqiao walked out of the house.
It has been several days since the wolf smoke was ignited, and as time goes by, people have become more and more uneasy, and it is one thing to worry about themselves, and many people are also worried about their loved ones.
Almost every family has relatives who have gone to guard the border, and less than half of those who went out in previous years came back, and half of those who came back were mostly injured in large or small ways.
Luo Xiaoqiao can remember from the memory of the original owner that whenever the war is over, every family hangs white sails, and the village is dead, how many people will not be able to come back this time.
Seeing that the people in Luojia Village were in a panic all day long, Luo Xiaoqiao felt that if this frustration was allowed to continue, there would only be panic left in the hearts of the people.
If the spirit is defeated first, there is no hope.
Since he couldn't leave and decided not to go, Luo Xiaoqiao was naturally willing to believe that King Jing could win this time.
The surrounding environment is done by the big people, and the small village of her Luojia Village, they can also defend it by themselves.
