Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 287

On the front line, Li Chaosheng received a message from Lantian. Li Chaosheng could only express his sympathy for what happened to Sun Chuanting, but it was only sympathy. Yu once, should I still support him?
It is right to let him be bullied a little bit. Even if he is a famous official in history, he can't want to destroy the foundation of civilization that he has worked so hard to build. He is digging Li Chaosheng's corner by doing so. Li Chaosheng didn't kill him. , and let him run around in Lantian, which has fully reflected his demeanor.

As for the mention in the telegram of taking Sun Chuanting for their own use, Li Chaosheng's attitude is that the time has not yet come, and this kind of loyal minister of Ming Dynasty is the most stubborn, and they will not give up on themselves until they are completely disappointed in Ming Dynasty Ideally, on the contrary, those corrupt officials are easier to deal with, but Li Chaosheng's attitude towards those corrupt officials is that they don't use them at all, so Li Chaosheng will not use those corrupt officials to disgust himself.

Those corrupt officials are the legendary stinky meat. It is said that a piece of stinky meat ruins a pot of soup. If it is thrown into this fresh soup pot in Lantian, it will bring a pot of stinky soup.

Thinking about it, Li Chaosheng flipped through the mutton skewers in his hand. He had stayed on the grassland for more than half a month, grilled skewers with beer every day, and lived a life like a fairy. Li Chaosheng felt that he had gained several catties.

Moreover, the Mongolian desert of this era is much better than the modern Mongolian desert. Coming here is a kind of camping feeling. Sleeping in a yurt every day means that there are more mosquitoes, but fortunately there are mosquito coils, so I can sleep soundly.

But the days of sleeping in a yurt are coming to an end, because the construction of Guihua City will be completed tomorrow, and the soldiers sent by Li Chaosheng will take down Guihua City tonight, and tomorrow morning I can be at the head of Guihua City Watch the sunrise.

Li Chaosheng flipped through the mutton skewers in his hand again, took a sip of beer, and took a bite of the meat skewers. At this time, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Gu Zi said, "Commander, Commander Li Chaohu, Commander Shi Dalei, and Wang Guixiang They're all here, just outside the tent, see?"

Li Chaosheng said: "Oh, they are all here, let them in."

Soon the three came in, saw Li Chaosheng saluted and said, "Commander."

Li Chaosheng looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Sit."

The three came to sit by the stove, Li Chaosheng gave the grilled meat skewers to the three, and then said, "Two bites, you haven't eaten all the way."

The three of them were not impolite after hearing this, and started to eat, Li Chaosheng asked Guzi to bring beer for the three of them, and the four of them ate skewers and drank beer around the stove.

Xu Xian looked at Li Chaohu and Shi Dalei, who hadn't seen each other for half a month, and said, "You guys have had a good time in the past half month. I heard that the grassland has given you new names, Black Heart Tiger, Devil Wolf?"

After hearing this, Li Chaohu and Shi Dalei's faces turned black. What kind of nickname is this? The two of them don't like such nicknames, but nicknames are usually given to you by your enemies, who will give you special nicknames? A nice name.

And the fact that the two can have this name is entirely due to the great achievements of the two on the grassland, how awesome is it?

Let's put it this way, the Black Hearted Tiger specializes in robbing the caravans that travel to and from Zhangjiakou, and the Black Hearted Tiger's robbery is not selective like Wang Guixiang's, but indiscriminate. In half a month, Li Chaohu had recovered all the military expenses for this march, and there was still a surplus, but the merchants in Zhangjiakou were in great trouble, especially the eight major Shanxi merchants, each of which lost at least 10 taels of silver.

This made the eight families angry, and they also learned from some guards who escaped by chance that the robbers were probably frontier soldiers, because they found that the boots of several robbers were worn by Ming soldiers, and Some of them were wearing the unique armor of the Ming Frontier Army, and these people were neatly formed and had a strong military atmosphere on their bodies. They were definitely not horse thieves who were free and unrestrained on the grassland.

These clues made the eight Jin merchants feel that the frontier army must have been hungry and crazy, and ran to the grassland to rob. The eight Jin merchants were so angry that they yelled, they walked on the grassland, and they were all filial to the frontier army. Come and rob.

This is not trustworthy.

The Eight Great Shanxi Merchants were very angry, and then someone realized that something was wrong. The relationship they have managed over the years may be a bit unreliable, because last year their Shanxi frontier army changed the supreme commander, but this person was a little unreasonable, so he waited for someone to send him off. He didn't accept the gift at all, and now he robbed them instead, isn't it a dog?

Everyone discussed together, but there was no good solution. In the end, the eight major Shanxi merchants collectively paid 2 taels, bought food, wine and meat, and came to the military camp to reward the army. You don’t accept personal gifts. Let’s have a collective reward for the army. Anyway. Have a good relationship.

So the eight major Shanxi merchants brought gifts to the governor's mansion of the frontier army. The governor of the governor's mansion is the left servant of the Ministry of war, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanfu Datong Shanxi military affairs.

Lu Xiangsheng can be regarded as a young talent. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, and he became the left servant of the Ministry of War in the seventh year of Chongzhen.

Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng was upright, courageous, and quite capable in military affairs, and he was a clean official, a special kind of cleanliness, even more clean than Sun Chuanting.

His military talent is exceptionally outstanding, and the Tianxiong Army he formed once became a nightmare for the Tartars and the rebels.

The Eight Great Shanxi Merchants brought things to reward the army. Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to accept it when he saw this, but the Eight Great Jin Merchants also brought meat. The soldiers hadn't known the taste of meat for a long time. business.

Then the eight Shanxi merchants moved the good wine and meat into the camp, and met Lu Xiangsheng as they wished. Lu Xiangsheng chatted with them very politely. During the chat, they told Lu Xiangsheng what happened on the grassland.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, he didn't know what was going on with this matter, but seeing a few people like this, he knew in his heart, could it be that he suspected that I robbed their goods, so Lu Xiangsheng was unhappy, I have never done it, if you suspect me It was too much, followed Lu Xiangsheng to look at several people and said that the soldiers of Xuanfu of Datong did not do it.

They are soldiers of the country, how can they do this kind of thing, what they say is righteousness, but the eight major Shanxi merchants don't believe it, they look at each other, and then they say, yes, we also know that the frontier army is strictly disciplined Will not do this kind of thing.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that they don't believe it.

Lu Xiangsheng was very angry, but the eight major Shanxi merchants said with a smile: "We also know that your subordinates have strict discipline, but the grassland is dangerous. We want to ask you to send some people to escort our caravan. We will give you [-]% of the profit every time."

Lu Xiangsheng was blown up at that time. How can I do such a dirty thing with such a good man? I immediately kicked out several Jin merchants. Even some Jin merchants proposed to pay [-]%, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't hear it. People throw it out.

Don't think that this can't be done, Lu Xiangsheng is not a Confucian scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken. It is recorded in the book that Lu Xiangsheng is fair and thin, but there is a thick bone in his arm, which is very powerful. From the elder brother's words, it is speculated that there is a high probability that Lu Xiangsheng has the double bone structure of a martial arts prodigy.

The eight Shanxi merchants were so angry that they were kicked out of the barracks by Lu Xiangsheng, cursing and swearing. This Lu Xiangsheng is not a man, pretending to be a kid, he dislikes that [-]% is too little, he wants everything!

The Eight Great Shanxi Merchants were worried, but there was nothing they could do for a while, but Lu Xiangsheng was a little vigilant. The Eight Great Jin Merchants took money and came to reward the army again. Let the scouts pay close attention to the situation on the grassland.

For some reason, he always felt that something big was about to happen.

After the eight Shanxi merchants went back, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and the more they thought about it, the more angry they became. In a fit of anger, they called the troops on the grassland who robbed them black-hearted tigers. Black-hearted means that I have paid for it, and you still rob us. You are not sons of men. what.

As for Shi Dalei's devil wolf, it's because Shi Dalei and his people specialize in robbing Mongolian princes who have a lot of cattle and sheep on the grassland, taking away all their cattle and sheep, and liberating their slaves. A group of devils is a group of evil wolves, so they are named devil wolves. In fact, the normal names should be devils and evil wolves.

Li Chaosheng ate skewers with them, and Li Chaohu reported: "These eight Shanxi merchants are so damn rich. We have robbed too many things these days, including food, cloth, iron, and various military supplies. Asked where these things were given to, they said they were given to the Manchu masters, Manchuria, and the masters, what a fucking dog. This group of traitors."

Li Chaohu was furious. He used to be a soldier in Shanhaiguan, and he hated the Tartars far more than ordinary people. Seeing this group of Shanxi merchants delivering supplies to the Manchus in such a steady stream, his heart exploded.

You must know that many of these materials are not used by the frontier army, and it is only half a month, and they have seized nearly 80 million taels of goods. Who knows how many goods they have transported over the years.

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaohu and said, "Don't be so angry, they have been transporting supplies so frequently recently, the big reason is that Guihua City is about to be built, and a lot of supplies will be needed here, so they will deliver so ordinary."

Li Chaohu nodded after hearing this, what he said made sense, Li Chaosheng looked at Shi Dalei at this time, Shi Dalei said: "I have nothing to do here, I just wiped out a few Mongolian princes, these princes are really fat, captured five sheep Thousands of cows, five hundred cows, are currently heading towards Guihua City."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "It seems that the people in Guihua City have a lot of skewers."

Li Chaosheng was talking, at this time Shi Dalei said: "But this time I have learned a lot."

Li Chaosheng looked at Shi Dalei, and Shi Dalei said: "I thought that the Han people would bully the Han people, and only the Han landlords would have tenant farmers, but this time at the Mongolian princes, I saw that the Mongolians themselves squeezed each other. We Han people have tenant farmers. They The Mongols have slaves, and the treatment is not as good as that of our tenant farmers."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Oppression can be found everywhere. Why do we Han people always feel that the Mongols or the Tartars are very powerful? In fact, not all of them are very powerful, but their mutual oppression is also very strong. The individuals that caused them to survive are relatively stronger than us Han people."

After hearing this, the three of them agreed deeply, and Wang Guixiang said at this time: "The commander is right. I have been in the grassland for more than three years, and I have a deep understanding of the grassland. They still practice slavery here, and the oppression of slaves is very special. Strictly speaking, over the years, I have also gathered a cavalry by using the method of our Han uprising, and now I have 2000 Han cavalry and 500 Mongolian cavalry under my command, all men who are capable of conscripting and fighting."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng was affirmative of Wang Guixiang's work. It is very worthy of recognition that he can achieve such a great result in a short period of time. The [-] cavalry brigade is enough to fight a battle on the grassland. It's a big fight.

Listening to his subordinate's report, Li Chaosheng said: "It seems that the time is almost up, there should be some movement in Guihua City, right?"

After hearing this, Li Chaohu looked at the Tianwang watch on his wrist and nodded: "We agreed on nine o'clock in the evening, and there are still 10 minutes."

At this time, the military supplies Li Chaosheng provided to all the officers above the company did not have much money. They bought them in large quantities, with an average of 300 yuan a piece. The watches of a few division commanders were better, and the rest were ordinary goods.

The purpose of distributing watches is to have a sense of time. In the past, it was difficult to have a fixed time for large-scale military operations, so there were often mistakes. But after having a watch, there is no such problem at all. Just check your watch and do the same thing at a fixed time.

At this moment, Li Chaosheng rolled a string, got up immediately and said: "Notice, the army will move out, and return to the top of the city to watch the sunrise."

After hearing this, the three of them all stood up and said, "Yes."

After speaking, he turned around and went out to arrange the army. They were forty miles away from Guihua City, and it would take at least two hours to rush there. By then, the battle in the city should be almost over.

At this time, in the main hall of Guihua City, Muerma, the Manchu guard of Guihua City, was sitting at the head, with two people sitting with his hands down. Ma Tengyun.

There are also some major army leaders in Guihua City below, or Niulu of the Manchurians. Everyone is pushing cups and changing glasses. The construction was successful and His Majesty’s order was fulfilled, you deserve the greatest credit, and I would like to offer you a cup, please be sure to drink this cup to the full.”

After hearing this, Muerma laughed and said, "Okay, okay, drink."

Mu Erma drank a cup, looked at Ma Tengyun and said: "In fact, Master Ma has contributed a lot to the successful construction of Guihua City. After the acceptance of Guihua City is completed, I will personally go to Shengjing to report to His Majesty Ma. Please credit."

Ma Tengyun said with a smile on his face at this time: "Thank you, sir, everything is the credit of your excellency."

But his eyes secretly looked at his watch, it was 55:[-].
