Civilian participation in the military is not without advantages at all.

Relatively speaking, civilian officials are more prudent in leading troops, and few are particularly aggressive.

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are both good supervisors, but they are forced a little tightly.

After learning lessons and lessons, Zhu Qiyu rarely put pressure on the front-line generals.

General Zhu Qiyu handed it back to Qianxue: "There is no problem, send the military report back to the military department." Anything else? ”

"Yes, He Yi asked the imperial court to transfer another one million stone military rations to Dongsheng. Shen Yi cried poor and asked our family to produce this batch of food. ”

Zhu Qiyu was so angry that he sat up: "Is He Yi crazy, he wants a million stone of grain when he opens his mouth, he doesn't want the war horses to eat grain instead." ”

"Then who knows, he said that Dongsheng is at risk of being besieged by the enemy, so he must stock up on enough grain and grass." ”

"Okay, okay, give it to him. Anyway, I can see through it, and we have to dig out all the food for them.

Even if He Yi is not asked to leave, Wang Yue will come to ask for it, Xu Tong will also come to ask for it, and Zhang Ning will also come to ask for it.

You will send another 300,000 stone of grain to Tianjin, and let the Shandong Navy transfer it to Gaizhou. Let's take the initiative and save them from writing to ask for it. ”

Qianxue asked again: "He Yi also asked you to transfer all the Tiance Guards to Dongsheng. ”

Zhu Qiyu replied helplessly: "I will give him 10,000 Tiance Wei at most, and Duo Yan Wei will transfer 20,000 to him." Let him stop forcing me, and if he transfers troops again, there will be no one in the capital. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu put the quilt on his head and began to sleep.

June 13, Gaizhou City.

Zhang Ning received another batch of firearms from Beijing at the Gaizhou wharf. The main one was crossbow arrows, which were the most practical weapons against the Mongols.

While he was busy, he saw a caravan driving dozens of wagons into the dock.

The person who is the leader, Zhang Ning actually knows. When everyone approached, Zhang Ning took the initiative to bow his hand: "Brother Tian, you are such a big battle." ”

Tian Huiqing returned the salute and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Zhang for making new contributions, I heard that the Mongols have recently suffered another big defeat." ”

Zhang Ning waved his hand: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, when we arrived, the battle was already over." Brother Tian, what did you acquire? ”

Tian Huiqing said with a smile: "Didn't I transport 300,000 stone of military food for the imperial court to build the state, and Governor Cui only gave me 150,000 taels, which can't even cover the cost."

That's why I was allowed to buy strange goods such as mountain ginseng in Liaodong and sell them in the south. ”

"This comes and goes, and the benefits are not small, right?"

Tian Huiqing talked about the income and was even happier: "On this ship, when I came, in addition to food, it was also loaded with tea, porcelain and other things.

After I put on these mountain treasures, I will go around Japan again. ”

Zhang Ning praised when he heard this: "This business only needs one trip, but it can make a lot of money." ”

Tian Huiqing said modestly: "It's just a small profit, and besides, this is a one-shot deal." When the imperial court completely relaxes the control of the Oriental trade routes, everyone will be able to run ships in the East, and I will have no advantage. ”

Zhang Ning laughed and didn't take this seriously. When he first attacked Japan, Zhang Ning had already dealt with Tian Huiqing, and he clearly knew that Tian Huiqing was a veritable imperial businessman.

With the emperor behind him, how could he lose his advantage.

Tian Huiqing smiled again: "I heard that the household department wants to set up an official warehouse in Gaizhou to carry out silver money exchange. Next time I come to Gaizhou, I just need to bring a money order. ”

Zhang Ning came into contact with the official exchange of the household department for the first time, and immediately became interested, and pulled Tian Huiqing to chat for a long time before letting him leave.

When Zhang Ning returned to the city, the governor of North Korea, Han Minghun had already come here to wait.

Originally, it was the official who crushed people to death, but on the contrary, Han Minghun was extremely polite.

Because Han Minghun surrendered from North Korea at the beginning, he always felt inferior when facing the officials sent by the imperial court.

After the politeness, Zhang Ning asked, "Governor Han, how is the combat power of your new army?" ”

The new army, the combat power is definitely not strong, Zhang Ning wants to know the composition of Han Minghun this new army.

Han Minghun is also very knowledgeable: "I selected four thousand original local people, most of them are composed of hunters, and some of them have been in the army before.

In addition, among the people who moved from the imperial court, 2,000 Han people and 4,000 Miao people were selected.

The Miao people used to live deep in the mountains, because they were good at mountain warfare.

Because of the rush of the incident, I trained for more than two months.

The main thing is to train bows and crossbows, and you know, when you go to the deep mountains and old forests, they are all small sneak attacks, and face-to-face slashing is not so important. ”

Zhang Ning nodded: "After Xiaolai was defeated, his subordinates fled eastward into the mountains. This person ran all over the mountains, and it was difficult to gather completely for a while.

Governor Han first sent a new army to the mountains to search for the lone Mongol army.

The will that the Holy One has just sent is to cut off the head of a Tartar and reward him with ten taels. Catch a tartar alive and reward twenty taels.

Capture a war horse and reward five taels. ”

When Han Minghun heard this, his eyes lit up, this is a good deal. I have lived in North Korea for so many years, but it is the first time I have seen such a lucrative deal.

Da Ming has always bullied the weak and feared the hard. In tributary trade, most of the time, the imperial court suffered.

The value of the goods given to the vassal states far exceeded the value of the tribute.

The exception was Korea, where the emperors of the Ming Dynasty constantly asked for all kinds of specialties and women.

It's like playing the autumn wind, it's all for nothing. And you can come when you want to, which is overwhelming.

Han Minghun sighed in his heart: It's better to be today, when I went to North Korea to buy people and go back to call. It's a real buyer, and the price given is extremely generous.

At that time, orphans were the first choice, followed by children from poor families. A few years have passed, and these people should have been assigned positions and started to serve the royal family.

I don't know if there are any Korean women who were favored by the emperor and included in the harem. It would be even better if another prince was born.

Han Minghun didn't know the rigor of the emperor's harem, and there were still unrealistic illusions.

Soon, the 10,000 new troops brought by Han Minghun and the guards of the three county kings were all thrown into the mountains.

It was a big hunt, but it was a Tartar head.

However, there has been a lot of rain recently, and there are lightning and thunder and heavy rain in the deep mountains.

The Ming army was a team of ten people, shuttling quickly in the deep mountains. The lone Mongolian army was not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and after being drenched in heavy rain, it lacked food and clothing, and its combat effectiveness declined rapidly.

Basically, as long as the Ming army finds a trace, then there is no escape, and if you can't escape far, you will be caught up, and you can only be slaughtered.

The morale of the Ming army was great, and they scurried among the mountains like a treasure hunt.

The Chinese army from Hara Ku was stationed fifty miles northwest of Haizhou City. Soon, Hara Kuchu learned the news from the soldiers who escaped by luck and learned that the dignified Mongolian iron cavalry was arrested by the Ming army as a roe deer.
