Regarding Geng Zhongming's self-assertion, Yang Chengying did not reprimand, but just let him go down.

Geng Zhongming didn't leave: "General, my subordinates have something to say." ”

"You say." Yang Chengying sat back in the main seat.

Looking at this, if you don't let Geng Zhongming finish his words, you have to go crazy.

"General!"

Geng Zhongming took a step forward: "Do you know that the entire Xintun is full of gossip, all at you and the female soldiers, how ugly it is to hear." ”

When it comes to the last sentence, Geng Zhongming was wronged for the main general.

Yang Chengying was not surprised at all, and would feel strange if he didn't.

"You, believe me?" Yang Chengying asked.

"Of course I do!"

Geng Zhongming replied without hesitation.

Yang Chengying smiled: "If you believe me, you should trust my decision-making." Trust me to do what's best for the Golden State, and you'll know when the time comes. ”

"My subordinates understood."

In fact, Geng Zhong didn't figure it out, but he believed that his commander was not a fool and specialized in thankless work.

He didn't know that at this moment, a new plan was born in Yang Chengying's heart.

sent away Xie Simei, sent Geng Zhongming, and Yang Cheng was summoned to Fan Wencheng.

"When will this Xu Shilang leave?"

As soon as Fan Wencheng came in, he asked a rather tricky question.

Yang Chengying coughed lightly, raised his hand and motioned for Fan Wencheng to sit, while taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat.

Putting down the teacup, Yang Chengying asked with a smile, "Are you so looking forward to Xu Lao leaving?" ”

"Since I heard that the general and Xu Shilang had an unpleasant quarrel because of the female soldiers, my subordinates have been hiding in the yamen and have not shown their heads for more than half a month."

Fan Wencheng said with a grin.

It can be seen that he is actually not so afraid of Xu Guangqi, but he just doesn't want to add fuel to the fire.

At the beginning of the surrender, Fan Wencheng wore a pigtail of money on his head and a crown of Ming clothes, and he must have been afraid of seeing Xu Guangqi and other Ming ministers.

Now it is different, his hair has grown, and he has been managing the place with Bao Chengxian for a while, and he thinks that the governance effect is not well-known, but at least good governance.

"Okay, I'll talk about this later."

Yang Chengying said: "How is the autumn harvest? I'm waiting for food emergencies. ”

The emergency is of course a joke, and the autumn harvest is the focus.

Fan Wencheng seemed to be prepared, and immediately took out a booklet from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"General, this is the fruit of this autumn harvest."

"Not bad, indeed."

After a cursory look, Yang Chengying was full of praise.

The booklet records the actual number of people around Xintun and the land reclaimed during this period. The various types of crops harvested have detailed names and quantities.

At the same time, there are detailed instructions on the situation of population movements and replenishment.

"How can so many people go?" Yang Chengying was a little surprised.

Fan Wencheng sighed and reported: "The subordinates were about to talk about this matter, and many people felt that their homeland was difficult to give up. With his family and the harvested grain, he left Golden State and returned to his homeland. ”

"Really?" Yang Chengying stared at Fan Wencheng.

"There is another inappropriate speculation among the subordinates, don't be annoyed when the general hears it."

"Just say, I can stand it."

"My subordinates have also sent people to ask about those who have escaped, and some of them have told the truth. I feel that no one in Fuzhou and other places is in charge, and they can be self-sufficient, not ...... You don't have to hand over food to us. ”

Knowing that it might anger the general, Fan Wencheng was a little hesitant when he said this.

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "This is human nature. It's just that they shouldn't be leaving at this time. You should wait until the spring before leaving. ”

"Huh?" Fan Wencheng's eyes widened, he didn't expect the general to say this.

Yang Chengying continued: "As soon as autumn passes, the weather turns cold. The slaves will come out of their nests and attack us. They really didn't understand how to flee at this time. ”

"Maybe it's a fluke." Fan Wencheng said.

"Hey! They're leaving, and I can't help it. ”

Yang Chengying changed his words: "Don't talk about this, I came to you today because it is a very important thing to tell you." ”

"General, please."

"From now on, all the food we harvest will not be supplied to us. Instead, build several large warehouses, the more the better. ”

"What is this for?"

Fan Wencheng didn't understand.

Yang Chengying sighed and said, "Be prepared." ”

According to historical records, in the third year of the Apocalypse (1623 AD), Nurhachi did two tyrannical acts, the first of which was to let each Han family support a banner.

These bannermen acted as a prestige in the Han family, which directly stimulated contradictions.

As a result, a large number of people could not bear the tyranny and fled to western Liaoning.

Not only did Nurhachi not reflect on his mistakes, but he also stepped up another tyranny that almost collapsed Houjin - the search and killing of "Wugu" people.

The reason for these situations is that in addition to Nurhachi's military expertise and inability to govern the country, there is another very important point.

Grain production in eastern Liaodong during the Xiaoice River was already low, and successive droughts and floods led to a significant reduction in grain production.

Even so, it is necessary to supply the Houjin army to attack everywhere.

Nurhachi racked his brains to come up with a set of strategies and put Houjin in the crater.

has already learned from the past, Yang Chengying naturally has to make all preparations in advance.

When the catastrophe comes, there is food to maintain social stability and supply the army.

These words, he is not good to say to Fan Wenchengming.

After thinking about it, Yang Chengying had no choice but to say: "I watched the sky at night and found that next year is very likely to be a year of catastrophe, and we must prepare in advance." ”

"Watching the sky at night?" Fan Wencheng didn't expect the general to do this.

"yes. I have so many things, only what you can't think of, nothing I can't do. ”

"Haha......"

Fan Wencheng just thought it was a joke and couldn't help laughing.

Yang Chengying didn't talk deeply.

In his previous life, he had learned a lot.

They were chatting here, and Xu Guangqi was taking Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi to see Peng Qigu's artillery unit.

originally wanted to invite Yang Chengying together, but Sun Yuanhua was afraid that the conflict between the two sides would intensify again, so he had to send someone to tell Yang Chengying secretly.

Yang Chengying was discussing a big matter with Fan Wencheng at this time, and the messenger didn't see him, so he could only wait outside.

Therefore, by the time Yang Chengying knew, Xu Guangqi and others had already arrived at the artillery unit.

Yang Chengying didn't go to join in the fun.

Peng Haigu, who was born in Beijing, under Yang Chengying's material encouragement and Sun Yuanhua's teaching, his ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has learned to formulate the most primitive charts that can be used to guide the artillery to calibrate Zhu Yuan.

After Xu Guangqi watched from the sidelines, he asked Sun Yuanhua: "You taught this?" ”

"Some of them are not, they were learned by General Peng himself when he was in Beijing."

Sun Yuanhua replied honestly.

"It's already quite good," Xu Guangqi nodded first, then shook his head: "It's just that it needs to be improved." ”

Sun Yuanhua's eyes lit up, if the teacher was willing to help, it would be great.

"Teacher, students are ignorant. Ask the teacher to teach the students some skills on the spot, and the students will pass them on after they have learned them. ”

Sun Yuanhua was afraid that Xu Guangqi would not agree, so he added: "It can be used to deal with slave soldiers." ”

Xu Guangqi is so smart, how can he not see it.

But he thought about it for a while, but still nodded and said, "No problem, I will teach you on the spot as a teacher." ”

"Thank you!" Sun Yuanhua bowed deeply.
