Northwest Protectorate.

"What to do next......

Huang Feihu fell into deep thought.

The grain and grass from Jiepai Pass have been delivered, and the inhabitants of Beihai are enough to feed and clothe.

He had already sent someone to the Ghost Fang tribe to lie down.

The news I got was that the ghost side was poor and weak, and this autumn and winter, I am afraid that many people will freeze to death and starve to death.

Although the nomads did not farm and kept their cattle and sheep to feed themselves, they did not have a fixed territory.

To feed cattle and horses, it is necessary to live in pastures with abundant water and grass, especially in the barren north, where there are several such pastures.

And in the area where the Ghost Fang tribe is located, there is only one large grassland, which is far from enough for their tribe.

The ghost side wants to expand the territory, but further west, it is earthwork.

The earthwork is very powerful, occupying multiple grasslands, and it is good not to come and rob the ghost side.

That's why the ghost side was ready to act when there was a rebellion in the North Sea.

However, it was only an illusion made by the leader, using the imminent move to alleviate the internal contradictions of the tribe, and the ghost party had already been scared by Wu Ding and did not dare to really move.

Later, when the Northwest Protectorate was set up, they were even more cowardly.

After Huang Feihu heard about it, he went to the ghost side in person.

, there are still such miserable people?

The clothes were tattered, and the better ones were also wrapped in unprocessed fur.

The standard of living seems to be stuck hundreds of years ago, the face is painted with animal blood, the medical level is urgent, and the bow and arrow have not been changed for a long time.

The whole tribe looked disorganized, and the tents were set up in a haphazard manner.

Not to mention the food.

There is no cooking level at all, there are no seasonings, not to mention salt, and plums are all rare things.

Huang Feihu finally understood why the King of Xuan would give the three nos, if they took the initiative to attack, this group of Ghost Fang clansmen, who were not much better than refugees, I am afraid that they would be wiped out directly!

He regretted it a little.

The Northwest Protectorate deters the Northwest, but the ghost side closest to the governance place is so miserable.

What deterrence?

Even if they put a stone statue of Wuding here, they don't dare to cross the line by half a step!

After Huang Feihu knew all the information about the ghost side, he began to have deep doubts and puzzles about the appointment of the king of Xu.

King...... Why do you want to build a Northwest Protectorate specifically for the ghost side?

Sooner or later, this kind of tribe will be annexed by other steppe tribes, and how can they dare to invade the Central Plains.

If the ghost party dares to cross the line, I will lose!

But the king still sent the general of the battlefield himself to guard it, and according to the previous analysis, the king meant to make the ghost tribe happy and convinced.

Is it necessary?

This is the outcast!

And it doesn't know how to farm, it's just a burden!

Huang Feihu wants to go back to the court, and he is willing to watch the door!

Even if there is no opportunity for meritorious service, you can see with your own eyes that the great merchants will continue to grow stronger under the leadership of the king, and when Huang Feihu is a member of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he will also be honored.

And now, he has come to the North Sea.

Let's not say that nothing has been achieved for more than half a year, just if you want to hear the news of the Central Plains and the edict of Chaoge, it will take a while!

When the Beihai victory was won last year, it was enough to kill the heralds!

However, considering the wisdom and martial arts of the king, and the unprecedented innovation of the Northwest Protectorate, there may be another meaning in this.

The king can't deliberately throw a famous battlefield general like himself to the northwest.

After all, when he was transferred to the Northwest Protector, the king had high hopes.

If you complain just like this, you may disappoint the king......

Huang Feihu thought about it for a long time, he had to go to Feilian Mansion again, there were many people and great strength.

Everything is ready, although it is determined that the ghost party will be subdued by the "competition", but it is still a little uneasy.

......

Fei Lian House.

Everyone was a little nervous, mainly because they couldn't figure out what the king thought.

Because when Huang Feihu came, Fei Lian happened to receive an edict from Chaoge.

It took four months to send to Beihai, and the herald got lost halfway, and went around the mountains and forests for a long time before coming out, and when he came to Beihai, he was almost mistaken for a ghost spy and was arrested.

The miserable appearance was exactly the same as the ghost Fang people Huang Feihu saw.

The edict was devoted to the construction of the Great Wall and meritocracy, regardless of origin.

So here's the problem.

What is the king's attitude towards the nomadic tribes in the northwest?

If it is said to be a war, why did you establish the principle of not bullying, provoking, or sending troops?

But if it is said to be peace, why should the Great Wall be built?

After the establishment of the Great Wall, although it was convenient for defense and attack, it also completely drew boundaries and formed a barrier.

However, according to the edict of the king of Xu, the Northwest Protectorate is a privileged official position, and everything is according to Huang Feihu's meaning.

"Lao Huang, everyone is an acquaintance, you come to get an idea, Beihai will fully cooperate. ”

Fei Lian has no talent, what he is best at is listening to opinions, the food transferred by Huang Feihu is enough for the Beihai people to support the spring ploughing next year, this kindness must be repaid no matter what.

"Meritocracy... Great Wall.... Meritocracy.... Great Wall ....."

Huang Feihu muttered repeatedly, and suddenly paused: "I understand!"

"Brother Huang?" Fei Lian was frightened by Huang Feihu's startle.

Huang Feihu said: "Meritocracy, no matter where you come from, even if you are a foreigner, as long as you have talent, we can also take it for our own use." ”

"Oh!" Fei Lian suddenly said, "So, are we going to make peace?"

"Definitely. Huang Feihu shook his head: "We also need to fight, without external pressure, it is impossible for the ghost side to completely surrender to my big business." ”

Fei Lian was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Huang Feihu said: "I want to open a market on the border, and allow the ghost party to exchange cattle, sheep, and furs for our rice, salt, and clothing. ”

"Just wait for a period of time, there will be people among the ghost side who envy the rich life of my big merchant people, and then we can start the next step, we will organize a competition on the grounds of friendly exchanges, so that the ghost side can see the combat effectiveness of my big merchant soldiers. ”

"At the same time, lure the earthwork further west to attack the ghost side, the ghost side is not an enemy, and it is very likely that they will ask us for help under pressure, or even take the initiative to surrender, while we can include the ghost side in the Great Wall for protection, and after a comfortable life for a while, it will be difficult to get out again. ”

"Good strategy!" Fei Lian couldn't help but clap his hands: "How should I act in Beihai?"

Huang Feihu said: "I heard that the son of Beihai Bo is good at socializing, and I want to use Ji Sheng as an envoy to go to the ghost side." ”

Fei Lian looked at Ji Sheng and nodded: "It is incumbent." ”

Ji Sheng had heard of the miserable situation of the Ghost Fang tribe, so he didn't dare to go, so he hurriedly interjected: "The child has made friends in Beihai, and he knows a person, named Shen Gongbao, who can speak well, if he is used, he will definitely succeed." ”

Fei Lian saw that Ji Sheng was true, and recommended Kong Xuan before, so he responded.

Huang Feihu looked at Kong Xuan again: "General Kong can tame demon beasts, the demon beasts of the Beihai rebellion have all been subdued, I hope to lend me a favor, the big merchant soldiers are not good at riding and shooting, so they can only start from their mounts." ”

He is also not good at riding and shooting, but he has a colorless sacred cow under his seat, and he is also a horse general.

Kong Xuan nodded.

Beihai is an ancient battlefield, with piles of monsters, and since he took office, he has been subduing monsters, and now the number is quite huge, enough to arm a cavalry.

Talent-only moves are very much in line with his heart, and demon beasts are also within the scope of "lifting".

In addition to subduing the demon beasts, Kong Xuan also worked part-time to brush away the remnant soul and resentful spirits of Chiyou, and the herald got lost in the mountains and forests, in fact, because he was seduced by the resentful spirits and lost his soul.

"Thank you two for your help!" Huang Feihu clenched his fists and sighed: "The king is strategizing thousands of miles away, if it weren't for these two edicts to remind him, I don't know when he will be able to come up with such a subtle plan, the ghost is returning to his heart, I'm afraid it's just the beginning, and there will be nomadic tribes who will continue to submit to the big merchants in the future!"

Fei Lian also agreed: "If it weren't for the herald, the second step has already begun, if there is a messenger relay place, and it will not be delayed if you change to a messenger who is familiar with the terrain halfway." ”
