There were 5,000 horsemen in the court, all dressed in armor made of stainless steel, and their weapons were sharp enough to easily cut off their scimitars, and everyone was a man and two horses.

There are even people with three horses, and one of the three horses is without a saddle, which shows that the horse was snatched from the grassland.

The warriors of the Beidi tribe, who did not escape, swung their knives and slashed at each other, but they were easily blocked with knives.

With a "dang" sound, a gap appeared in the scimitar of the Beidi warrior.

"Damn, what's going on with Dayu's sharp weapon? Is it available to everyone in Dayu? ”

The leader of the Tumut tribe did not give up, and with his strong martial arts, he shook his sword, and the scimitar turned around and slashed at the opponent's back.

With the sound of "dang" again, his knife was not only missing, but also sparked when it slashed at the opponent's back.

When the leader saw this scene, his heart suddenly cooled, because he knew that in the face of the 'invulnerable' Dayu cavalry, their tribe was finished, all over!

Not to mention, they were attacked in a hurry to meet the battle, that is, they were replaced by a fair battle in peacetime, and in the face of Dayu's equipment of soldiers and horses, they lost a lot.

In the face of such an elite cavalry as Dayu, the leader did not hesitate, tightened the reins, turned around and fled to the north.

Seeing this, the other warriors of the Beidi tribe could not care about the enemy, adjusted the direction of the war horse and fled.

"The leader ran away with the elite!"

"Stop fighting, let's surrender!" The Beidi warriors forced the slashed knife back.

As soon as the court cavalry heard that he was going to surrender, they did not attack again, and the Beidi warriors took advantage of this gap to whip their horses, and the horses rushed out in shock, and fled westward with their camels.

As soon as the court cavalry saw that they were deceived, they immediately drove their horses to chase after them.

The Beidi warriors on the battlefield fled in different directions, and the Dayu cavalry also pursued in different directions.

Ning Keng, who had been watching the battle, was anxious when he saw this scene!

"Don't chase! Poor Kou Mo Chase! ”

Feng Zhang was on the battlefield, so he naturally noticed this situation, and after he slashed and killed an enemy, he ran towards where Ning Keng was.

Ning Keng saw that his cavalry was about to chase out, and kicked at his guard, "Hurry up and Mingjin!" ”

On the grassland, it is the world of the Beidi cavalry, they scattered and fled, not if you want to chase them.

If you have to scatter to chase them, they may be the ones who will be defeated in the end.

The court cavalry, who were excitedly pursuing the enemy, stopped the pursuit when they heard the signal of Mingjin to withdraw their troops.

Feng Zhangle stopped the war horse, looked around, and saw that the cyan figures chasing out had stopped, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Burn all the tents, and all the frightened cattle, horses, sheep and captives are gathered in one place, and the killed Tartars cut off their heads and pile them into a Jingguan!" ”

Most of the captives were herdsmen living at the bottom, and the herdsmen at the bottom of the grassland had an equally difficult life in recent years, they basically did not have their own cattle and sheep, and most of them relied on helping the grassland nobles graze to earn living materials.

Now they are taken captive, like frightened cattle and sheep in the corrals, their eyes full of confusion and terror.

These people are going to drive back to Dayu with the herds of cattle, sheep and horses, just like the Gyeonggi region, they also have a large area in Youzhou where these herders can be settled.

The battlefield was quickly cleared, and the court cavalry drove the cattle, sheep, horses, and prisoners back quickly.

The warriors of the Beidi tribe who fled returned to the tribe in the evening of the next day, led by the leader.

As far as the eye can see, all you see are tents burned to ashes, as well as the headless corpses of countless clansmen, and the piled up Jingguan.

This is a proper warning and deterrent!

Dayu's horseback came quickly, like a strong wind, after the blow, the rest of the mess disappeared without a trace.

Then he turned his head to look at the rest of the clansmen who had fled, all like lifeless puppets, who had nothing but embarrassment.

"Chief, we must report this matter to the Khan as soon as possible!"

The Tumut tribe was not a big tribe in the first place, but this time it was hit hard, and I don't know how long it will take to recover?

In addition to the people who went out to graze and those who escaped, the tribe lost about sixty or seventy percent of its personnel and property this time.

Especially the population, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, a tribe grows, population is very important, and it is not something that can be developed if you want to.

This time it was raided by Dayu's cavalry, which was an unbearable pain for the Tumut Department!

In the next hundred years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to grow, and in the days to come, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive under the oppression of other tribes.

The leader wanted to cry without tears, "What can I do if I report it?" Do you expect him to take revenge on our humble little tribe? ”

The livestock that the tribesmen rely on for survival are all gone, how can the tribesmen survive this year's winter?

"Are we just swallowing this breath?" The clansman asked, puzzled.

The leader endured his grief and snorted coldly, "If the other tribes learned about our tribe's current situation, what do you think they would do?" ”

Clansman: "."

The grassland survives, and the weak eat the strong.

At this time, the tribesmen also realized that the current situation of their tribe, the weak tribe would definitely be suppressed by other tribes.

"So what do you want to do?"

The leader gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Hide this matter for the time being, we can still survive in the Hetao Plain, if it spreads, I am afraid that within a month, we will be driven out of this plain!" ”

In fact, the leader still didn't say a little in his heart, the news of the raid on their tribe by the Dayu cavalry did not spread.

At that time, the other tribes were defenseless, and the Dayu cavalry raided other tribes, and he hoped that other tribes would be as unlucky as them, so that everyone was on the same starting line again, and no one wanted to bully anyone! ——

"These Beidi people in the grassland are really rich, like in our Dayu, whoever has one or two sheep is already considered a large property, but the Beidi people are counted in groups, and a group is hundreds or thousands."

If someone has a herd of cattle, sheep and horses, it is thousands of livestock, how rich they are!

Feng Zhang glanced at his little servant Sanwu, "Do you think there are already a lot of livestock here?" ”

Sango nodded and said as a matter of course: "Yes, all the livestock add up to tens of thousands of heads is not too much, so how much is too much?" ”

Feng Zhang looked at Ning Keng, who was walking next to him on horseback, and suggested: "On the way back, we deviate a little from the direction, and we can rush to the next Beidi tribe in two days. ”

Ning Keng glanced at Feng Zhang in surprise, in fact, he was also thinking about this matter in his heart, but he didn't expect to be brought up by this kid first.

Now the opinions of the two are unified.

Then it was logical, Dayu cavalry deviated a little from the direction and ran to another tribe to raid, the same situation, the court cavalry harvested a lot of cattle, sheep and horses and a lot of prisoners.

Looking at the exponentially growing livestock behind him, Feng Zhang smiled toothlessly, "Go back this time, and next time you want to go out of the customs to carry out a raid, it won't be so easy." Beidi has taken precautions, and Lord Feng Yanrong will not let us out of the customs easily. ”

Ning Keng shook his head: "That's your father!" ”

Feng Zhang glanced at him: "I know, I don't need you to remind me!" ”

Five thousand cavalry came out of the customs, and as Xia Jing expected, they came back smoothly.

When he came back, the team behind him was obviously several times larger, which frightened the border guards.

"My good man, Beidi's herd of cattle, sheep and horses is so easy to grab?"

"Hurry up and report to the queen mother and Lord Thorn Shi, just say that the eldest prince and the chief soldier are back!"

When Feng Yanrong heard the report, he was the first to run to the Dajingmen Tower to look.

When Xia Jing came to the big mirror gate, the team had already arrived outside the door.

"Welcome my heroes to return triumphantly, you have worked hard!"

Ning Keng, Feng Zhang, Zhenghe and other generals dismounted one after another and stepped forward to pay respects: "The ministers have seen Niangniang." ”

"Living up to my mother's expectations, this trip to the grassland has been fruitful, and it can temporarily satisfy the meat of our border army for half a year." Ning Keng's excited report.

"Good!" Xia Jing glanced at the team behind her, and felt happy in her heart, she had always been bullied by the Beidi people in the past, but now she finally took revenge on them.

Immediately, her gaze fell on Zhenghe's body, "How do you feel about going out of the customs this time?" ”

Zhenghe took a step forward, with a look of chagrin on his face, "It's a pity that I almost captured the leader of the Tumut tribe, but he was too cunning and escaped by him, and the minister failed his mother!" ”

Xia Jing waved her hand and said indifferently: "You don't have to blame yourself, let him escape, prove that he should not die, and when it is time to die, he will not be able to escape." ”

——

In the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, in mid-July, Ning Keng, the chief soldier of Dajingmen, Feng Zhang, the eldest prince of Youzhou, and Zhenghe, who had defected to Chengcheng, went out of Dajingmen to go deep into the grassland, and successfully attacked the two tribes of Beidi in the grassland.

Nearly 20,000 heads of livestock were seized, countless prisoners were captured, and ordinary herdsmen were resettled in Youzhou, near Jizhou and other areas.

With the autumn harvest just around the corner, Xia Jing crossed Jizhou and along the Great Wall of Bingzhou in early August and arrived in the Gyeonggi area.

After two years of reconstruction, the Gyeonggi area has gradually prospered.

The wheat waves dance in the wind, the fields are golden, and the scenery of a good harvest is everywhere.

Autumn is a time of beauty for its alluring colors and fruits.

Xia Jing and the generals were all stunned.

It's been a year since I left Beijing, and it's been so fast.

Li Chengmu led everyone to stand on the city tower, and when he saw Xia Jing's team, he led everyone to hurriedly walk down the city tower.

"Queen Mother!" In front of the people, he bowed to Xia Jing.

Xia Jing was outside, in order to establish her son's image, she did not stop him from saluting.

When he finished saluting, he pulled him up, "How long have you been in the capital?" ”

The corners of Li Chengmu's mouth curled up, and he replied: "Within ten days of coming back, just let the palace people clean up your palace, and you will come back." ”

Xia Jing smiled and nodded, before she had time to look at the people behind him.

"Wechen has seen Niangniang, Niangniang has worked hard all the way!"

"The slave has seen the mother!"

Hongmei Baimei didn't go out with Xia Jing this time, and she hadn't seen her master for almost a year, but this time, the two of them were red with excitement.

Xia Jing smiled at Wei Dong, Ding Daqiang and others who went out of the city to greet her: "Let's go back and talk about it, let's go, go back to the palace!" ”

It was really hard to run all the way, Xia Jing returned to the palace, took a hot bath and lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

"Mother, will you eat something and then sleep?" Li Chengmu walked in with a bowl of bird's nest.

Xia Jing turned over and sat up, brushing her long hair, "Why did you come in?" What about Baimei? ”

"I sent them away." Li Chengmu put the bowl in front of her, "You eat some food and then sleep, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well when you are hungry." ”

Xia Jing took a sip, looked at him and asked with a smile, "Do you want to discuss something with me?" ”

Li Chengmu shook his head: "My son is just waiting for his mother to eat, and he didn't come over because of something." ”

Xia Jing let out a faint 'oh', and drank the bird's nest in the bowl in a few sips.

She put down the bowl, wiped her lips, and said, "Now that I've finished eating, you can go back first, I'm going to rest." ”

"Oh, the son will go first, the queen mother, you have a good rest, and the son will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you at night!" Li Chengmu stood up and left without hesitation.

His operation made Xia Jing a little confused.

"Is it really just to bring her food?"

Forget it, don't think about it!

Xia Jing yawned, since Xiao Wu didn't say it, then she didn't see it.

Li Chengmu really doesn't have any major things to report immediately, so there is no need to disturb Xia Jing's rest for some trivial things.

Back in the study, Wei Dong stood up and asked, "Your Highness, what did Niangniang say?" ”

Li Chengmu walked to the desk and sat down, and replied unhurriedly: "I didn't tell the queen mother, even if we decide this matter, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you prepare the materials that should be prepared tomorrow, and don't disturb the queen mother to rest today." ”

Following.

Xia Jing rested for a night, and her energy basically recovered.

In the morning, I was in the study to deal with the accumulated affairs, and the stewards and officials who stayed in the capital came over.

Wei Dong is Jing Zhaoyin of the capital, whether it is a major matter that has been resolved or a major matter that has not been decided, he has to report it to Xia Jing.

"Now the cement road in the Gyeonggi area has been fully repaired, and the captives who built the road at the beginning, in order not to let them be idle, the minister asked them to build the post road to the south of Gyeonggi."

"The post road to the south is now about to be repaired to Yuzhou?" Xia Jing looked down at the project schedule, and she was surprised.

After all, the construction tools and machinery at this time were limited, and it was particularly time-consuming and laborious to build a house and palace.

Wei Dong nodded: "Yes, according to the minister's idea, he wants to go all the way south along the post road, all the way to Lingnan, and open up the post road from Gyeonggi to Lingnan, so as to facilitate the people's travel." ”

Xia Jing did not object, and if she wanted to get rich, she would build a road first.

She looked down again, and the next few were all problems that had already been solved, and he didn't need to sign them.

Further down, there is a piece of news about Lingnan, which is also good news.

Last year, the Lingnan Iron Workshop developed the first version of the steam engine.

So Xia Jing asked them to carefully read the drawings she gave them and made the first generation of steam trains.

Now that more than half a year has passed, even the track construction of the steam train has also been built to the Nanling Mountains.

I just don't know how this so-called steam train, which can only go on a flat road, climbs over the mountains?

"Lingnan sent a letter asking if you want to continue to build a railway in Guiyang County if the train can't cross the Nanling Mountains?"

Xia Jing raised her eyes and looked at him: "The train can't cross the Nanling Mountains, so dig holes in the mountains, build bridges in the rivers, and the north-south artery from Lingnan to the capital must be repaired!" ”
