Chapter 124: I can't fight

“@#¥  ”

Outside, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the neighing of war horses and the sound of soldiers and soldiers were mixed together, stimulating the nerves of countless people, women, children, and the elderly, skillfully put the put away tents into the earthen pit, which was the explanation of the Ming Yongqing Marquis.

Said: Prevent the other party from doing this way, and return this body!

There was a lot of movement, but they didn't have much fear, and they had been like this for half a year, and they had gradually become accustomed to it.

Anyway, they have to come once a month, sometimes they come before the time, sometimes they come more, sometimes they come less, but every time they can carry it.

Merely...... But there was not much food, but the calves and lambs could not eat, and that was the hope for the future, and for this they were worried.

When will the supplies that the Ming Yongqing Marquis said will arrive?

The battle lasted for two days, and the other side returned again without success, the children cheered, the women relaxed, but the old man looked worried.

After each battle, cattle and sheep are slaughtered to celebrate, and the families of the war dead are especially treated...... However, there were not many cattle and sheep, and even if the enemy army did not come again, it would hold out for two more months at most.

They are harassed from time to time, so that they can't graze with peace of mind, the livestock are as thin as firewood, and they can't produce much meat......

The old people thought so.

The warriors came back covered in blood, some needed to be helped, some were carried back, and some were ...... Didn't come back.

The women and the old men began to slaughter the cattle and sheep as usual, and although they were distressed, they also understood that without the warriors, there would be no calves or lambs left.

Soon, the aroma of the food wafts into the air, making it appetizing.

After determining that the enemy had retreated, the old men who had some strength had already consciously cleaned up the battlefield;

The women re-set up their tents, and the older children did what they could......

Under Li Qing's clear division of labor, the manpower of this tribe was fully mobilized.




Shuai Battalion.

He Zhong divided the roast sheep and reported the gains and losses of this battle.

"A total of more than 1,200 enemy troops were killed, and it is impossible to count the wounded, our army suffered nearly 2,000 wounds, killed more than 800 people, obtained nearly 1,000 war horses, more than 300 live horses, and nearly 6......00 dead horses."

Li Qing listened to this, did not make an evaluation, and waited until He Zhong finished speaking, and then said: "There is not much food in the tribe, but our supplies should be coming soon, but it is not a matter to continue this pattern all the time!" ”

He Zhong was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "What does Master Hou mean...... Take the initiative? ”

"How many of us are there now?"

"After recuperation, the fighting force should be seven thousand." He Zhong said.

Li Qing nodded: "After so many battles, the combat strength of our army has made a qualitative leap, and we can try to counterattack." ”

"When?"

"The sooner the better!" Li Qingdao said, "It's best to rush before the next time the other party comes to attack." ”

He Zhong groaned: "This has to be based on our supply delivery, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize." ”

"Hmm." Li Qing picked up the divided lamb chops, took a bite, and said, "I have calculated, it will take about half a month or so, and the supplies will be delivered, so we have to prepare them first." ”

He Zhong said worriedly: "Master Hou, although we caused some trouble to the other party last time, and in the offensive and defensive battles in the past six months, they have suffered a lot, but there is still a qualitative gap between the two sides. ”

"I know," Li Qing bowed, "that's why I waited until supplies were sent before we went to war!" ”

A gleam flashed in He Zhong's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Master Hou is saying that with those people who transport supplies?" ”

"Well, I've made it clear in the letter!" Li Qing said with a smile, "The previous pensions were all paid to the family members of Hetao, so how could no one be tempted by such a rich reward?" ”

"Okay!" He Zhong slapped his thigh, "How many people did Master Hou want?" ”

"I guess it's about 5,000." Li Qing said.

"Uh... It's only 5,000? He Zhong was a little disappointed, and said stupidly, "Master Hou, why don't you transfer more, our three major battalions ......"

"I don't want to use our people."

“

 All right. He Zhong nodded, "Five thousand words are enough, is it still sabotage this time?" ”

"We can't just sabotage anymore." Li Qing shook his head, "This time the elite is exhausted, there must be some results, you can't blindly rely on Daming subsidies, Daming's money is not blown by the wind, and self-sufficiency as soon as possible is the king." ”

It has been almost a year since he set off in Mobei, and he has not yet taken a key step, and the progress is much slower than Li Qing expected.

It's not that Li Qing is anxious, but once it drags on for a long time, that spirit is gone, in fact, the spirit of this war machine has already declined slightly.

"Well, good!" He Zhong stood up and said, "The last general will make arrangements." ”

"Wait a minute."

And Zhong stopped.

Li Qing groaned and said, "Find a way to expand some warriors to come out, this time it's big." ”

"Okay, I'll do my best."




More than ten days later, the team transporting supplies finally came, not because they were slow, but because Li Qing wanted too much.

In addition to the conventional Xuande potatoes and Yongle beans, there are thousands of fat pigs, but fortunately, the water and grass are abundant after spring, and the transportation cost is not high.

Aside from the consumption on the road, there were nearly 4,000 heads when they arrived, pigs and sheep are different, its meat ratio is too high, and the arrival of these fat pigs has greatly alleviated the anxiety of the people in the tribe about lack of meat.

Of course, the fat pig is just a color head, and more is Xuande potatoes and Yongle beans.

Although these are coarse grains, they can fill your stomach!

The truckloads of food supplies made people feel more down-to-earth, and they no longer had to worry about food.

They just don't have to do anything, which is enough for them to eat until the New Year.

At this moment, Li Qing's prestige reached its peak!

Because, his former promise has been fulfilled, and it is even much more than what he promised at the beginning.

At this time, Li Qing threw out the pie again.

Grow the tribe and become the head of the grassland!

As long as you dare to fight, there will be countless cattle and sheep, on the contrary, the Ming support will stop.

This multiple-choice question, children will not make mistakes, and the answer is naturally the same as Li Qing expected.

The men and horses transporting supplies were more than Li Qing expected, nearly 6,000 people, plus the original warriors and temporary expansion, the armed force was nearly 15,000!

The armament of fifteen thousand people is already terrifying in the steppe.

The massive supply and the strong reinforcements once again ignited the warriors' desire to fight, especially the elite from the Hetao, who couldn't wait.

Under the persuasion of Li Qing and He Zhong, the generals agreed to the decision to pour out of the nest.

Li Qing is in high spirits, this time he plays well, he will really have the ability to disrupt the situation.

After resting for a few days, the army set out......

Capital

Zhu Jianshen once again achieved the strategic goal. The state expelled more than 300 people from the political envoy level, but it also paid the price. gōΠb.ōγg

Not only was Wan Zhen'er choreographed, but Zhu Jianshen also fell into the notoriety of being the only favored concubine and ignoring the Ming royal family.

At the same time, he was also busy due to the deliberate slackness of officials.

Although the ministers are presumptuous, Zhu Jianshen can't be punished heavily, in this case, something will really happen if he comes hard.

He can only come to the soft, obedient and willing to do practical things, reward!

At any time, there are always 'short-sighted' people, who don't care about the emperor, it will make it more and more difficult for the officials, they only care about the immediate interests.

Through such means, Zhu Jianshen has greatly alleviated the problem of administrative efficiency and will not delay state affairs.

However, he was still very busy, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

It's almost up to the workload of Lao Zhu at the beginning.

Zhu Jianshen, who had suffered a lot, also slowed down the pace of cleaning up redundant personnel after two successive victories, and he understood that the steps were too big and he was pulling his crotch.

As a result, the image of 'Mingjun' was restored again, and it was a banquet and a reward, with a 'stop here' look.

But, this time, no one believed it.

The ministers also learned well, ate and wiped clean, and continued to sing against him.

Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen is not used to it, since you take the benefits and do nothing, then Hugh blames me for being ruthless.

He did not continue to be redundant, but he started to make an article in the maritime business, led by the master of ceremonies, and the factory and health co-organized the business tax clearance action.

As soon as the decree was issued, the officials led by Jiang Nan immediately coaxed, obviously still rigid, but they secretly poked and poked Zhu Jianshen to give in.

Emperor Chenghua is a particular person, and immediately suspended the action of clearing commercial taxes, but he did not withdraw it, so he hung it.

Really...... It's irritating.

Things have developed so far, and the ministers have faintly realized that they can't fight the emperor, even if Li Qing's gang is not there, they can't fight.

This Emperor Chenghua's wrist, I am afraid that only Taizu Taizong is above it, it is really ...... Difficult to deal with.

Faced with this situation, they really have nothing to do, but they are unwilling to compromise, they have been pressed long enough, and they have also been brilliant.

They still want to give it a go, even if the odds are slim.

In a hurry, an operation to win over the harem began, with two goals.

Empress Dowager Zhou, Concubine Wan!

Yes, they are jealous of the woman Wan Zhen'er, and they are also among them.

They sought titles for Wan Zhen'er's father and brother, and proposed that the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou be promoted to duke......

This trick was used by Sanyang when she was the Empress Dowager Zhang, and now it has been put on the political stage again, but they ignored that today's Emperor Chenghua is not the young orthodox emperor.

The two are not the same!

Afterwards, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou was not promoted, and Wan Zhen'er's father and brother were only given an official position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

In this regard, the Empress Dowager Zhou had no objection, and Wan Zhen'er was not dissatisfied.

Once again, their calculations fell short......

At this point, they knew that the general trend was coming, so they simply made a last effort and completely let it go.

- Collective resignation!

Six Ministries, Cabinet, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple...... As many as hundreds of people signed a joint letter of resignation on Zhu Jianshen's imperial case.

Zhu Jianshen also made a difficulty, saying that everyone has something to say, but they can't do it.

The ministers thus offered their own demands and asked the emperor to withdraw his claim against redundancy.

Of course, they also knew that the emperor would not compromise in this way, so they gave another solution.

The imperial examination is once every three years, and it is changed once every six years!
