Chapter 31

Since the last time he returned to the palace from Shunyi, Wang Chengen spread the money from the East and West factories to various Huangzhuangs, made open and unannounced visits, and each presented the results of their investigations. After mutual verification, they were sent to Zhu Youjian.

After beating Cao Huachun, Zhu Youjian came to Longevity Mountain. Two days ago, he ordered people to reclaim two acres of land here to plant sweet potatoes.Mainly to see how the output.

As for Huangzhuang, Zhu Youjian planned to let them grow corn, and after the corn was harvested, they could plant potatoes again.It is not enough to promote any crops by word of mouth alone, what the common people eat must be spoken by the output.Potatoes are drought-tolerant and are extremely suitable for growing in water-scarce areas. Potatoes are the most suitable for coping with the severe drought in the north for years to come.

It was still a dark and windy night, it was still the inner teaching ground, and the phrase "God is grateful for your majesty's kindness and diligence." There were a bunch of treasures missing in the palace.

People in the palace are no strangers to the "gift" of the gods, and they are also accustomed to throwing treasures in the palace.

It's okay to say that the treasure was stolen when it was missing, but so many things appeared out of thin air.Besides believing that the emperor moved God, what else could it be?
On May [-]th, Zhu Youjian received a report from Wang Xianggan, Governor of Xuanda.

After Wang Xianggan left the capital, he headed north all the way towards Datong.

The capital is not far from Datong, and he is not too young, so he walked very slowly.

After entering the city of Datong, Governor Zhang Yiming and Chief Soldier Qu Jiazhen had already hosted a banquet and waited.

The two welcomed Wang Xianggan to the upper seat. Zhang Yiming poured Wang Xianggan a glass of wine and said with a smile:

"Mr. Jiyu, the journey has been tiring. I will prepare a little wine to welcome you, old man." Although he is the right servant of the Ministry of War, the current situation in the court is not clear, and the new emperor's employment will not leak traces, which makes him a little uneasy.What's more, Wang Xiang is a senior official and is your Majesty's personal governor, so he must be treated with caution.

"Your Majesty Zhang, please be polite. You don't need to be too polite. You and I are officials in the same dynasty, just do your job well." Wang Xiangqian said flatly. "Your Majesty ordered me to come here this time to appease the tribes of Mongolia. To prevent the tribes from falling to Houjin, we can send troops for reinforcements if necessary. Commander Qu, how many troops are available in Datong Town?"

Qu Jiazhen smiled and replied:

"Back to Ji Yugong, right now the eight 64 castles in Datong have a total of 7 people."

Wang Xianggan nodded without saying a word, drank a glass of wine silently, and stopped drinking more.

The reception banquet was neither salty nor light, and Wang Xianggan's seriousness put a lot of pressure on the two of them.

"Master Zhang, what is the purpose of Your Majesty's sudden appointment of Wang Zikuo as the Governor of Xuanda? At present, the Mongolian tribes outside the Guan are at war with each other. What is there to appease? Isn't it? Is it related to that matter?"

"General Qu! Be careful!" Zhang Yiming solemnly interrupted Qu Jiazhen before he finished speaking.After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it irritably, and put it heavily on the table.

"Be careful in the next few days, if something happens, you and I won't want my head!"

Qu Jiazhen nodded and didn't speak, but there was a little haze in his heart, and he always felt a little uneasy.

morning of the second day

Wang Xiangqian ordered someone to notify Qu Jiazhen.

He is going to inspect the various guards and ask him to prepare the yellow book of military registration.

After hearing the news, Qu Jiazhen's expression turned ugly.

yellow book?Can that thing be seen by people?all fake!

But how to deal with it now, he hurried to find Zhang Yiming.

"Master Zhang, Wang Zikuo wants to inspect the guards and asks me to prepare a yellow book, what should I do?"

"What should I do? Didn't the yellow book of military registration accidentally burn when there was a fire last time?"

"Ah? That's right! It caught fire, and it's gone. The new one hasn't had time to make a book yet, so I have to go to the Ministry of War for inspection. Haha~"

"General Qu, don't panic when you encounter something!"

"What Master Zhang said is absolutely true!"

So Qu Jiazhen went to see Wang Xiangqian empty-handed.

"Master Wang, I have something to report to the lower officials."

"What's the matter?"

"Some time ago, the warehouse where the yellow book was stored accidentally leaked water, and all the things stored in it were burned, including the yellow books of various guards. The lower officer has already reported to the Ministry of War to re-transcribe, but the journey is far away, and it has not yet been delivered. .”

"Oh? There are other things like this?" Wang Xianggan said in surprise.

"That's right, the lower official has neglected his duty, please punish Mr. Wang."

"No one can avoid natural and man-made disasters. Since the Yellow Book is gone, let's just take a look. Well, let's start with the Pinglu Guards."

"Then the subordinates will arrange it."

In the next few days, Qu Jiazhen took Wang Xiang to inspect the guards one by one, and Wang Xiang was very satisfied.The guards have strict military discipline, the sergeants train hard, and the food is very good.

Finally, after a late-night visit by Zhang Yiming, a smile gradually appeared on Wang Xiangqian's indifferent face.He also began to accept banquets from his subordinates and gentry in the city.It was just an order to each fort, if any Mongols came to the ceremony, they would bring people to see him immediately, and those who disobeyed the order would be dealt with by military law.

On the eighth day of May, a subordinate came to report.It is said that Huduntu's brother-in-law Guiying just brought people to seek peace, and he was in Xinpingbao at this time.

After Wang Xiangqian knew about it, he immediately set off for Xinping Fort, and finally saw the warrior the next day.After a few simple greetings, Wang Xianggan took the lead to enter the topic.

"Is it for a reward this time?"

"My lord Wang has sharp eyes, and this time the Great Khan ordered me to come here for this purpose. The Great Khan said that if the yearly reward is not increased this year, he will lead his troops to move westward and stop guarding the pass for the Ming Dynasty."

"Oh? As far as I know, more than 2 people from the Qi tribe, including Aohan and Naiman, surrendered to Houjin. In less than half a year, there were also Taijibarbatulu and Dabeile Angkundu from the Krakchut tribe. Dorji Yierden of the Leng and Alacchut tribe surrendered to Houjin. In February this year, the Dorot tribe of your tribe intercepted and killed the people sent by Houjin to instigate rebellion against Haraqin. Huang Taiji used this as an excuse. He personally led an army to conquer your tribe. He also sent Dorgon and Duduo as vanguards to attack the Dorote tribe and captured more than [-] people. The Haraqin tribe, which was originally close to your tribe, also sent an envoy to form an alliance with Houjin, saying that I am willing to surrender to Huang Taiji. Is this a problem?"

"Here is."

"After repeated defeats and people betraying relatives, how can you say that you will guard the pass for my Daming? What's more, the Hetao area is not an unoccupied land. You have moved westward and clashed with Tumot, and you have not completely won until now. Even if you win by chance, face How much resistance do you have against Hou Jin who is in full swing?"

"This……"

"Although the Donglu are powerful, they only have 200 million people, and there are no more than 20 people who can fight. But our Ming Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, a vast land, and rich industries. We have millions of standing soldiers and various firearms. You say, without you, my Ming Dynasty can't win the war? And you are interfering with the Han Dynasty, and now you are under attack from both sides. If you don't rely on me, the Ming Dynasty, it will be destroyed within five years!"

Although Gui Yingcha was very brave in battle, but playing with his mind, he couldn't compare with Wang Xianggan, an old fritter that has gone through five dynasties.For a while, he was overwhelmed by Wang Xianggan's awesomeness. Thinking about the current situation of the tribe, and thinking about the living space that has not been compressed by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, he didn't know how to refute Wang Xianggan's words.
