Chapter 228: The Wolf Smoke Rises, and the Mountains Shake III

"Cui Butang, confirmed, from Xifengkou, but I don't know if it's a Mongol or a Jiannu..."

Cui Chengxiu frowned and looked at the eyes, and then felt his scalp tingle, no matter who came from Xifengkou this time, he felt that he had done it as a soldier, according to Emperor Chongzhen's urine, he would never be able to run away after the autumn.

The guard of Dongzhimen bowed: "Cui Butang, this matter is very important, the last general thinks that it is better to inform His Majesty as soon as possible, if the enemy is just to loot the border pass, forget it, if it is straight to the capital..."

Cui Chengxiu's brows trembled: "What do you mean?" Tell the official quickly, how long does it take for Xifengkou to get to the capital? ”

"It's less than three days old."

Cui Chengxiu immediately turned around and ran, he felt that he couldn't make the decision in this matter.

In the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the lord officials headed by the British Duke Zhang Weixian are all there, although they don't like Cui Chengxiu, but now he is still the head of the military department.

"There are so many passes on the border of the Great Wall, why do they come from Xifengkou?"

Zhang Weixian frowned: "Benjue learned that the defense of Xifengkou is the weakest..."

"I may have an inner ghost in my Daming." Zhu Yanrong interjected: "It's better to quickly send an order to Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou, and ask him to lead his troops to stop it quickly...

I don't know if it's too late..."

Cui Chengxiu arched his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is very important, and it is not up to the lower officials to decide, the lower officials will immediately return to the military department to listen to the adjustment, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to you, farewell..."

...

Songjiang Prefecture, Shanghai County

The former Qincha Xingyuan has now been changed to the Liangguo Mansion, and it is extremely large, except that the building has not been encroached upon, the scale has exceeded the Prince's Mansion, and it belongs to the side game.

Chen Cao has been living a very comfortable life recently, basically doing business at home, in addition to taking his son and daughter to fish on the Huangpu River, and by the way, watching the training of the Dingwu Army.

"Grandpa,"

Zhao Xin held a large stack of official documents in his hand: "Grandpa, this is the information that integrates the army, please take a look;

According to the will of the grandfather, the new Tianxiong Army was built, with Lu Xiangsheng as the chief soldier of the Tianxiong Army, Sun Chuanting as the deputy commander-in-chief, Xiaolingwei and Nanjing Right Guard were all reorganized, and the first and second divisions of the Tianxiong Army were formed in addition to the recruits, and the official schools at all levels were arranged;

In addition, news from the Ryukyus, Song Cheol is already on his way back. ”

"What about the Wa Kingdom?"

Chen Cao flipped through the official documents, and then closed them: "Ryukyu must not fall into the hands of the Wa Kingdom." ”

"Grandpa, rest assured, a reorganized brigade was left in the Ryukyus, and the third division was already on its way back."

Hong Chengchou walked into the Guogong Mansion in small steps, and saw Chen Cao and Zhao Xin in the front hall: "Grandpa, please see the officials if they have something." ”

"Heng Jiu, what's the matter? Zhao Xin looks at tea..."

"Grandpa is polite," Hong Chengchou sat down: "Grandpa, Wei Guogong mobilized 30,000 troops to gather in Jiading County, Suzhou Prefecture, and the soldiers and horses of the Zhejiang Capital Division also gathered in Jiaxing Mansion, and the troops were led by Taizhou General Qi Changguo..."

"The people of Zhejiang Dusi are confused, right?" Chen Cao frowned: "They don't know that Qi Xianzong and Qi Xianyun are under my command?" ”

Hong Chengchou took a sip of tea: "No, I rule the world with filial piety in the Ming Dynasty, and the lower officials estimate that they probably want to put pressure on Qi through Qi Changguo, and then instigate them anyway." ”

"Wei Guogong still has this leisure?" Chen Cao sneered and shook his head: "I guess they don't know the news of Jingshi or what?" ”

"Grandpa, are we taking the initiative?"

Hong Chengchou arched his hand: "Xia Guan is sure to repel the enemy from Jiaxing." ”

Hong Chengchou does have a set of wars, besides, Chen Cao doesn't expect Qi Xianzong to practice with his father, it is still more reliable to use Hong Chengchou as a traitor, besides, his military strategy in Liaodong in history is completely correct, but it's a pity that he didn't meet the Ming Lord.

"Well, I'll transfer a division of the Tianxiong Army to you, so that Sun Chuanting can go with you to deal with the enemy in Jiaxing, how to command it to you, and Sun Chuanting will assist you."

"The lower officials obey orders..."

.

Chen Cao led people to stroll through the port of Pudong, looking at the merchant ships and Taixi ships coming and going, then turned his head and asked Shen Zhuangling behind him: "How about our trade with the Three Kingdoms?" ”

Shen Zhuangling: "The concubine was properly arranged, and the transaction was also smooth, and we made a net profit of five million taels in the first quarter." ”

"Where's the grain?"

"In terms of the current grain stock and trade, it has caught up with the entire Nanzhili, even the grain of Nanzhili, all of them are taken here by us;

In addition, grain merchants from all over Huguang are now negotiating with us, and their goods can be sold to us, which is much more expensive than directly selling them to Nanzhili and Northwest. ”

Chen Cao is not a good man and a woman: "Have you seen it, the merchants of the dynasty have no bottom line, even the people in Nanzhili do this, do you still want to enforce the intensity in remote places?"

We are now in a corner of the Songjiang River, and if the imperial court blocks us, we will have to rely on our maritime trade business. ”

"We are gradually monopolizing the trade along the coast of Zhejiang, but the industries of those important ministers of the DPRK and China still do not cooperate."

Chen Cao looked at the warships under construction in the military port belonging to the shipyard in the distance: "Not cooperative? When Song Che comes back, all the warships will sail to the coast of Zhejiang, and those who don't do business with us will be robbed, and I will see how much money they have to support the losses;

The current business, no matter what, can be as big as it wants, and sell it to them all the things that the Jiannu want, and the price will be as expensive as it is, but there is one thing you have to know, to find the Japanese people to trade with them. ”

"The concubine knows."

"In addition, a large number of talents from Tessie have been introduced, and in all aspects, even those who make tables, chairs and benches, they have to be found for me, as well as doctors."

Shen Zhuangling raised his head: "We have a lot of doctors in the Ming Dynasty, why do we need to use those wild doctors from Taixi?" ”

"Wild doctor?" Chen Cao frowned: "What do you say?" ”

"The man who ran the boat came back and said that the doctor of Taixi also delivered the baby, their medical skills are not like our Ming Dynasty, there are medical books inherited from the past dynasties, they are all passed down orally, and then learn slowly, and sometimes they also heal the dead..."

"yes..."

Chen Cao suddenly remembered one thing at this moment, even if the oxytetracycline they used is the most primitive antibiotic now, it is not that the Ming Dynasty will not, but under the influence of traditional Chinese medicine, it has lost its influence on advanced Western medicine, and it is also because of this that after the Second World War in the later period, Chinese medicine was completely eliminated, and the war was all Western medicine.

"You reminded me, their doctors too, find me the kind of people who like to do research, all fields, all the conditions, those who like research are lacking in spirit, they don't care about the country, they just bury their heads in what they like."

Chen Cao and Shen Zhuangling walked to an unmanned wharf in Pudong, Chen Cao rose up for a while, and was picking up Shen Zhuangling's long skirt, she covered her skirt and said shyly: "Grandpa, the concubine is about to give birth, and she can't have fun." ”

"Hey..."

Chen Cao sighed, the mood of doing things by the sea was good, but the key was that she couldn't: "Okay, you give birth well, don't be too tired." ”

"Grandpa," Zhao Xin shouted from afar, "There is an urgent document." ”

The Shanghai county government is now very well decorated, at least it is a new yamen, of course, it has not exceeded the rules, and it is in accordance with the rules of the county government.

It's just that the lobby is not like the lobby of an ordinary county office.

In the middle of the hall, Chen Cao looked at the official documents, and then asked people to pass them down one by one.

"This Huang Taiji's guts are okay, and he dares to enter the hinterland of Gyeonggi with 40,000 people."

"This battalion of state guards and Jizhou town soldiers is really useless, if it is full of at least 100,000 people, it can't stop this 40,000 cavalry."

Huang Chunyao shook his fan: "Haha, grandpa, Yuan Chonghuan will definitely die this time." ”

Chen Cao shook his head: "Not necessarily, if Huang Taiji's army has been in a state of flux, according to the current military situation in various parts of Jinggi, it is absolutely impossible to intercept them, and besides, if the Qinwang army wants to reach Jingshi, the nearest is Shanhaiguan, and it has to rely on the army under Yuan Chonghuan, even if someone comes from the direction of Datong, it will take seven days, but Yuan Chonghuan also has the Guanning Iron Cavalry under the command of Zu Dashou, and it will only take four days for them to arrive in Beijing." ”

"Grandpa, we can't determine Zu Dashou's intentions."

Huang Chunyao frowned: "That guy has a bit of a yang and yin appearance. ”

"I gave him a chance, and in the future, it will be up to him to grasp it," Chen Cao said solemnly: "It is rare for the imperial court to give me an official document, asking me to lead the army north to King Qin, everyone, what do you think?" ”

"According to Denglai's news, this time Yuan Chonghuan entered the king of Jingqin, and I heard that he asked the imperial court for three million taels of military salaries." Xia Yunyi spoke.

Huang Chunyao said: "Grandpa can also take advantage of this to make a fortune, just say that we have all the firearms of the Dingwu army, which consumes a lot of money, and requires five million taels of military expenditure before it can be opened." ”

"Hmph..."Chen Cao sneered: "You guy, you are really hateful, you really have a way to think of it, but this excuse is still feasible, enough to disgust the person who came to give the order." ”

"Grandpa, then can we send troops?"

"After Jiaxing's heavy troops are transferred, we still have to go, according to Jiannu's appetite, they will not be so simple to just go around the hinterland of Gyeonggi, and it is very likely that they will go to Shandong."

Chen Cao said and looked at the map: "Let's go to collect money, the location is in Shandong, as for the object... Just follow the Yan Sheng Gong and the vassal kings of various places, in short, they are all fat pigs, and they are not bad for money. ”

"Order, all the members of the Dingwu Army will be dispatched, take a sea boat, and land in Denglai, let's take the official document of the imperial court to go north to King Qin, and abduct and sell some good women to enrich the army by the way."

The brows of the crowd were all black lines.

Lord, all that you do is not a human thing.
