The defenders along the Great Wall of Dayu have changed both equipment and discipline, and the Beidi soldiers and horses raided four passes along the Great Wall, without exception, all suffered a heavy defeat.

The only one who was completely wiped out was the team that killed the tiger's mouth, and the rest of the 50,000 horses were captured except for those who died in battle.

The morale of the Beidi army was low, and the heavens seemed to feel their emotions, and the sky was gloomy for a few days, and snow began to fall, and as time passed, the snowflakes drifted bigger and bigger, and after an hour they turned into goose feather snow.

The Beidi generals were particularly unwilling, but the cold winter was coming, and the time was not occupied, the location was not occupied, and the people were not to be mentioned, and the morale was low.

The time, the location, the people, all do not occupy anything, even if you attack again, there is only the possibility of a fiasco.

The other generals of the three passes, after receiving the news that they knew that the Beidi soldiers and horses who killed the Tiger Pass were all wiped out, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed!

Killing the tiger's mouth can completely annihilate the enemy, they can't do it, waiting for the generals of the three levels to prepare to fight with the Beidi soldiers and horses before the ground is not covered with thick snow.

It's just that they planned very well, and when they were preparing for a military meeting at dawn the next day, the defenders on the city wall found that all the Beidi soldiers and horses originally stationed outside the pass were gone, and they all disappeared overnight.

"If we can completely annihilate the enemy, such a great achievement, if we can achieve it, it will not be in vain to be stationed at the border for many years! It's just that the Beidi Tartars don't seem to give us this chance, which is very annoying! ”

"General, don't worry, now that we have returned in terms of equipment and morale, there will always be a day when we will clean up the Beidi Tartars in the future."

"Hmph, the Beidi Tartars negotiated this time, but the result was unsatisfactory, and they chose to avoid the edge very wisely. It's just that Dayu is so easy to provoke, I guess that the snow will melt next year at the latest, and the imperial court will organize a cavalry counterattack! ”

Then it will be a good time for them to make meritorious contributions!

The weather is cold, and it is not feasible to dig fortifications, but the daily training of the soldiers cannot be less, and when they are civilized next year, let the soldiers dig more fortifications, such as trapping horses and the like.

The cold north wind, the strength of the south seems to be stronger day by day, the temperature drops again and again, and the border guards also begin to live as usual on duty and cats in winter.

Winter is also the calmest season at sea.

Xia Jing, who was in the capital, had just recently raised a batch of porcelain and tea, and sent people to pull them to the beach in Qingzhou.

At this point, Xia Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Li Chengmu was very happy, and the border gate was stable before the snow melted.

This is true in Beijing, and even more so in Jiankang.

When the civil and military officials in the court learned of the great victory at the border pass, they happily wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, and even wanted to go back to the banquet for three days and three nights, so as to vent their fears some time ago.

In a hundred years, there has been no successive defeats of Beidi soldiers and horses, this time I learned that the Beidi four soldiers and horses did not take advantage, and also lost the soldiers, and I was very happy!

So much so that on the day the prisoners were escorted to Jiankang, the entire Jiankang from the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and nobles, to the peddlers, pawns, and ordinary people, all poured into the streets.

Looking at the people crowded on both sides of the street, Battle, the king of Beidi Zuoxian, who was the person concerned, was a little proud.

He has no consciousness of being a prisoner, and he feels that he has been valued by Dayu for the people of Dayu who are dispatched in the city, and it also reflects his noble status.

He despised the crowd around him, and said to his subordinate generals who were also sitting in the prisoner car: "Dayu just won us once this time, so he is happy to be like this, he really has never seen the world." ”

The Beidi general echoed: "It's really insidious, if it weren't for this conspiracy, how could we be fooled, if it was really a real battle on the battlefield, they would not be our opponents at all!" ”

Battle agreed, "Don't think that just by virtue of this battle, you think that you are strong, that is really ridiculous, this king tells you, Beidi is the king of the world, one day, we Beidi will step on this river and mountain, let them all prostrate under our Beidi iron to make cattle and horses!" ”

"Lord Wang, they are not qualified to be cows and horses, cows can produce milk, horses can fight the world with us, what can they do in this group of Dayu people, they are all soft bones, it is useless to accept them, it is a waste of food!"

The two of them spoke, and their voices were not deliberately lowered, and the people passing by heard the conversation between the two of them, and they were so angry that they took out rotten vegetable leaves from the baskets they were carrying and threw them at the prisoner cart.

Later, this action was like pressing the start button, and the onlookers on the roadside did the same, and they also took out the waste in their hands and threw them on the prisoner car.

Like rotten eggs, this one is too suitable for smashing wicked people, it is both disgusting and evil.

What is interesting is that when the officers and men escorting the prisoner car saw a large wave of people smashing them with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, they stopped and retreated a little more so that the people could smash them so that they would not be injured by mistake.

Zuoxian King Battle had rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs on his head, and he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

He glared angrily at the retreating officers and soldiers, and scolded: "You bastards, even rotten eggs are afraid of being like this, don't you hurry up and take us to your prison!" ”

The officers and soldiers escorted directly ignored them and continued to move forward slowly, no matter what the people threw at them, as long as they did not come forward to kill them, the officers and soldiers would not care.

King Zuo Xian thought of his lost soldiers and horses, and he was distressed and dripping blood.

Beidi did not have enough food and grass materials, and most places were barren, so in this case, if you want to train elite soldiers and horses, the effort will increase exponentially.

Therefore, King Zuo Xian feels sorry for his soldiers and horses, without soldiers and horses in hand, he is equivalent to a phoenix that has lost its hair.

How noble the old days were?

In the end, it is not that they have fallen into a worse situation than them.

If Beidi is so prosperous in the Central Plains, does he still need to be captured and bullied by Dayu?

"What are you arrogant? No matter how arrogant you are, you haven't been forced by us to move south, and you haven't returned to the capital yet. ”

"Why are you all looking at this king like this? Oh, I see, you don't all like this king, do you want this king to marry you home? ”

The rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were almost smashed, and the officers and soldiers walked up to him with knives and asked calmly: "Try to repeat what you just said!" ”

Battle immediately changed his face, and shouted inwardly, "What do you want to do!" This king is the king of Zuo Xian under Beidi alone and above ten thousand, you must not be rude."

As soon as the officer's knife was raised, it struck down, and Battle's head was full of bags, and by the way, his mouth was full of blood.

"No matter how noble your former status was, remember who you are now, you are just a captive of us. If you're not honest again, don't blame me for smashing your mouths full of dog's teeth! ”

Battle wiped the blood from his mouth, stared at the officers and soldiers with hatred, and was so angry that he smoked, "You"

"Lao Tzu has wanted to beat you for a long time, you are our Dayu heinous sinner, how many people are poisoned by you every year in our Dayu border people!"

was beaten in vain, and the prisoner was put in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the next thing was to hand it over to the three divisions for interrogation, and the emperor disposed of it, and the final outcome was probably to be chopped alive.

——

The Imperial Palace of the capital, in Xia Jing's study.

Li Chengmu finished handling the matter and asked Xia Jing: "Queen Mother, the uncle has already moved back to the court, the prisoners were escorted to Jiankang, and the soldiers and horses returned to the capital. The son couldn't figure it out, why didn't the captives come to the capital together? ”

Xia Jing raised her head from the book and said with a smile: "This batch of captives, especially the ending of Zuo Xianwang and other generals, I'm afraid it won't be good, either they will be cut alive or their hearts will be dissected, do you really want the queen mother to get involved in such a bloody and violent thing?" ”

Lee Seung-mu: "."

If you hadn't taught me, those in power would not have been soft-hearted, just as it is a truth that the heart is not in charge of the army.

Xia Jing glanced at him, "What's your expression?" Am I vicious in your eyes? ”

Li Chengmu shook his head: "Viciousness is not counted, at most he is a ruthless person!" ”

Be ruthless to yourself, be ruthless to others, and be afraid of the enemy for not being able to live a reincarnation.

Aunt Xia snorted and said something else, "There may be a lot of herdsmen in the grassland next year who will cling to us, so you can ask the officials below to make corresponding arrangements, plan early, and don't get too busy when you can get it." ”

Li Chengmu asked, "What if you refuse to be attached?" Not all herders want to come to Kannai to farm with peace of mind, and they think that grazing is more suitable for them. ”

Based on this situation, Xia Jing smiled faintly: "If you refuse to cling, you will kill the Beidi people and eradicate the root cause." I believe that most ordinary herdsmen still want to live a good life, as long as we have a good life here that they want to live, I don't believe it, they are not impressed! ”

"If Beidi is wiped out by us, the grassland will be left in the north and deserted?" Lee Seung-mu felt that this could not happen.

Sure enough, Xia Jing listened to his question, and her face became a little more serious, "How can the fat prairie be deserted, for example, the Hetao Plain I told you last time, there are nine bends and eighteen bends of the Yellow River bypassing that area, and the Hetao Plain is a natural agricultural production base, as long as we make good use of the Yellow River and repair the water conservancy project, it will become a big granary in the north!" ”

Following the Northeast Plain, the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, the Hetao Plain will become the fourth largest grain-producing area in Dayu.

As long as the grassland is unified, the imperial court can build cities in the grassland, build roads or railways, and make transportation more convenient.

Xia Jing didn't believe that the imperial court focused so much on the grassland area, and the herdsmen of the grassland would refuse to return to their hearts.

Of course, Xia Jing also plans to open a school to let the herdsmen in the grassland learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, preach patriotic thoughts to them, and integrate them into the Han culture of Dayu ideologically.

For so many years, it may take the efforts of several generations for Dayu to truly control the grassland.

Li Chengmu was said by Xia Jing, with a yearning face, he didn't know what the Hetao Plain would be like if it became the granary of the north?

Speaking of cultural transportation, Xia Jing thought about the steam train, but asked: "The railway in the Gyeonggi area has been repaired, how long will it take for the first line to Yuzhou to be repaired?" ”

Li Chengmu thought of the news he received some time ago, so he replied: "The road has been repaired, but the final debugging is being done, and I think it should be completed in two days." ”

When Xia Jing heard this, she said excitedly: "When the train opens, let's go to the train together and feel the unique speed of the internal combustion engine train that we have developed for two years." ”

This can be there, Li Chengmu had doubts about whether the train could really carry people, but he didn't dare to show it, he was afraid that Xia Jing would lose face.

"Mother, Your Highness, it's already noon, are you going to eat now, or wait?" At this time, Bai Mei walked in.

Xia Jing glanced at the hourglass and said, "Let's eat now, you can take a break after eating." ”

"Yes, Mother, Your Highness, please wait."

Within a few minutes, a palace maid dragged a tray to deliver the noon meal, and the mother and son smelled the fragrance and their stomachs gurgled, they were so embarrassed to see people.

Waiting for the palace maid to put the dishes on the table, Xia Jing noticed that there were rare green leafy vegetables on the table, "Baimei, what's the matter with these green vegetables?" Can you grow out-of-season vegetables in the Gyeonggi area? Or does anyone have a hot spring resort? ”

Bai Mei helped Xia Jing fill a small bowl of soup, put it in front of her, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, these dishes are difficult to find in the Gyeonggi area, as for why the kitchen makes so many vegetables today, it is entirely because Lingnan sent a batch of vegetables over, and they just arrived today." ”

Xia Jing sandwiched a fried green bean, "Vegetables from Lingnan?" ”

Saying that, she looked at Li Chengmu and said with a smile: "It's been two years since I left Lingnan, but I didn't expect us to eat Lingnan vegetables again, green vegetables are common in Lingnan, but they are rare in the Gyeonggi area." In fact, living in Lingnan is also good about Lingnan. ”

Li Chengmu smiled and nodded: "Actually, living in Lingnan is also good in Lingnan, that's right." Nowadays, the industry in Lingnan has formed a scale, such as out-of-season vegetables, which can be easily planted successfully in Lingnan, and can be sold at a high price if they are transported to the north with a little effort, which can be regarded as increasing the income for the people of Lingnan! ”

Xia Jing agrees very much, Lingnan not only has out-of-season vegetables, but also longan jerky, dried lychee, and jasmine tea, and now they have formed an industrial chain and a scale.

Caravans from all over the country went to Lingnan, and in addition to the things outside, the rest were the specialties that entered Lingnan.

Now in the capital, Xia Jing wants to drink longan tea, which is easy to buy in the capital, and she doesn't need others to bring it to her.

This greatly enriches the food of the people in the capital.

Xia Jing looked at Bai Mei: "How many vegetable varieties have been planted in Lingnan this year?" ”

Bai Mei had already learned from the steward from Lingnan, and the caravan from Lingnan also left her a jar of dried longan.

When she saw Xia Jing asking, she replied: "Eggplant, beans, gourd, pepper. There are a lot of them, and most of them are shelf-stable vegetables, so it is not easy to transport them from Lingnan. ”

Xia Jing: "It's not easy, the farther north you go, the colder it gets, if you don't do a good job of keeping vegetables warm, you may freeze the vegetables halfway, at least half a year is in vain!" ”

"The steward was arranged by the slave to rest first, Niangniang, do you want to meet him?" Bai Mei asked with concern. (End of chapter)
