Three miles north of the rejecting fort, brick building ditch.

Yang Chengying and the guards squatted to eat watermelon, and everyone turned into pea shooters, spitting out watermelon seeds crazily.

If it weren't for the fact that he was not proficient in agricultural research, Yang Chengying would have been eager to study watermelon varieties by himself and make watermelon seeds fewer.

A mouthful of watermelon, a mouth full of watermelon seeds, and if you don't have time to spit it out, you swallow it in your stomach.

Even so, the guards ate with relish.

Except for those who stand sentry.

Cao Bianjiao ate a large piece of melon in three or two bites, wiped his mouth, and took the finished one to change the guard.

The young melon farmer witnessed all this, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yang Chengying frowned and looked at the melon farmer: "This big brother, I think you should be the owner of this watermelon field, how do you feel as if you haven't eaten melons." ”

The young melon farmer stood on the side, but he was greedy, and he nodded and said, "If you go back to the scriptures, the grass people really haven't eaten it." ”

Dolzidarhan glared: "You haven't eaten melons when you grow melons?" ”

How so!

After listening to the translator relay the words of the Mongolian general, the young melon farmer smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the general, the grass people are the brother-in-law of Zhao Xiaosi, the general manager under the command of the garrison master of the Fortress of the Barrier Fortress." ”

Then he explained why.

It turned out that due to the perennial arrears of wages in Datong Town, the general brother-in-law Zhao Xiaosi relied on Wang Mazi, who was a melon farmer, to help him, and barely mixed up in the border army.

Zhao Xiaosi relied on interpersonal relationships and often sent some dun soldiers out to help watch the melon field.

Yang Chengying curiously asked which ones were Dunjun.

Wang Mazi pointed out.

Hearing this, Li Fuchen was shocked.

He pointed to the melon farmer he had caught and said in surprise, "What? He's a Dunjun! ”

The slowest runner is actually the Dun Army.

Wang Mazi nodded: "Yes." He was a Mongol, he had cast a tartar, and then he escaped and showed me the melon field, a few years. ”

When Dorzidarhan heard this, he hurriedly asked the dun army: "What is your name?" Which tribe of Mongolia is it? ”

Nadun Jun was stunned for a moment, and replied in Mongolian: "The villain's name is Doruda, Naiman Department." ”

"You've been in Tartar?"

"Yes. I did it for a few years and was forced to go to the ground. God is pitiful, the grass people, a man who herds sheep for Master Nuoyan, how can he know how to farm, and he has been beaten a lot. ”

"How did you get here?"

"A few years ago, following Dolgon to Datong to harass him, the grass people took the opportunity to escape and became a dun army."

"Then why don't you go to the Han generals to be Yiding, you can get the silver."

"The grass people have never ridden horses, let alone shoot arrows, they don't take them."

Hearing this, many people couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Chengying asked the guards to give him a silver ingot, got up and said, "I have covered this melon field, you pick all the melons, and we will take them back." ”

"Thank you." The young melon farmer happily patted Doruda on the shoulder.

Just as everyone was harvesting melons, a cloud of dust was raised in the distance in the south.

Probably the Ming army border army.

Yang Cheng said to Li Fuchen: "Go and tell them that this is a misunderstanding." ”

Li Fuchen answered "yes" and rode a horse to meet the dust.

Yang Chengying picked up the binoculars and observed the situation.

Through the camera, I saw Li Fuchen and the other party muttering a few words, and then ran back.

"Warp!"

Li Fuchen turned over and dismounted, "The person who came is the garrison of the Fortress of the Rejection Wall, surnamed Wang, called Wang Jinchao." He is a relative of Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, and wants to visit Jinglu. ”

Isn't this person Li Fuchen's godfather in history?

Yang Chengying rolled his eyes and had an idea: "You can say a few words to him on my behalf, and by the way, ask me how many melon fields there are around here." ”

"What are you going to do?" Li Fuchen asked curiously.

If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely feel that when you are a subordinate, how can you have so many words.

Yang Chengying is different, he likes to ask more about his subordinates.

"Of course, all the melons in the melon field were transported away and distributed to the soldiers and craftsmen."

Yang Chengying said: "The matter is negotiated, come to Jining to report." ”

"Yes." Li Fuchen got on the horse and went to Wang Jinchao again.

At this time, Li Dingguo came over: "Jingluo, Li Fuchen is uncertain, I am afraid that he will do something that damages Jingluo." ”

"If the jade is not cut, this can be regarded as a test for him."

Yang Chengying said: "Dingguo, you also do one thing for me." ”

"Please command."

Li Dingguo stepped forward.

"Take my prayer note and go to Datong Town."

Yang Chengying said: "First, I visited Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, to show respect. The second is to visit the big businessmen in Datong Town and ask them to buy grain. ”

The news that they were buying melons in the Fort of Rejection Walls would soon reach Wang Pu's ears.

It is not appropriate not to send someone to visit.

The second thing is purely an opportunity for Li Dingguo to practice.

With Yang Sichang's matchmaking, some large households are willing to sell grain to the Liaodong Army.

There is a part of the reluctance.

Li Dingguo has to deal with these people.

When they walked away, Dolzidarhan smiled and said, "Jinglu, you really have a heart, thinking of a way to train them." ”

"It's still the same sentence, jade can't be cut without a weapon."

Yang Chengying looked through the telescope and saw Li Fuchen leaving with Wang Jinchao.

He handed the telescope to Dolzidarhan.

At the same time, Li Dingguo got the prayer post, as well as some dry food, and rode away.

Cao Bianjiao came over: "Jingluo, the subordinates are Datong people, and it is more appropriate for you to send your subordinates there." ”

"Oh? Ah! I almost forgot that you're also a Datong. Yang Chengying smiled and patted Cao Bianjiao on the shoulder, "You have been in Liaodong for too long, I have forgotten about this stubble." ”

Cao Bianjiao smiled: "Jingluo, they have only been here for a few days and have a task, you look at me, I have been with you for so long, and there is no task yet." ”

"Don't worry, there are many opportunities, you wait."

Yang Chengying said: "You are not the same as them, how can you send an errand casually." ”

Cao Bianjiao turned his sorrow into joy.

Yang Chengying looked at Wang Mazi: "Do you want to make a lot of money?" ”

"Of course!" Wang Mazi responded.

"That's good. You secretly connected a group of people who can grow melons and came to Jining. ”

Yang Chengying said: "I will allocate you a piece of land, and you will grow melons for the Liaodong Army." In addition to the money from selling melons, I will also allocate some extra money to you to subsidize your family. ”

"Thank you!" Wang Mazi kowtowed excitedly.

Yang Chengying helped him up.

Seeing that the best melons in the watermelon field were all picked up, Yang Chengying went home.

Dolzidarhan was puzzled, rode his horse to Yang Chengying's side, and asked: "Jinglu, is it worth spending so much effort for a piece of melon land?" ”

"Zasak, you only see the melon, but you don't see the person who grows the melon."

Yang Chengying said: "I don't just want a melon field, but the people who eat the watermelon and the people who hear the story." ”

Dolzidarhan realized.

"When the time is ripe, our army will move south from here, and the obstruction will be much smaller."

Yang Chengying said: "This is exactly - the soldier who surrenders without a fight, and the good man is also good." ”

Dolzidarhan nodded: "After a strategy, it is really well thought out. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment ate watermelon and venison.

Li Fuchen stayed in the Fort of Rejection and ate because of Wang Jinchao's hospitality.
