Jinyi Night Walk

The weather in July, even outside the Great Wall, is very hot. But even so, the training on the school field is still in full swing, and the soldiers are sweating profusely. The whip was about to be whipped off.

The Maritime Silk Road in Liaodong has been opened, and the huge profits have made all participants a lot of money, and everyone is happy.

As a result, Xia Xun successively started larger-scale commercial operations in other regions using the Hada city model.Liaodong has its own special products in Liaodong, which may not be a rarity in the local area, but it will be a large fortune when shipped out.

Now, without any urging, the local army has actively built more beacon frogs, and the local people have taken the initiative to build roads and bridges, all of which are important guarantees for economic interests.

However, the ultimate guarantee of all this is force, especially in an environment surrounded by tigers and wolves.In the last battle with the Tatars, although they won the battle, the casualties of the participating troops were not light. On the grasslands, the nomadic Hui people have inherent advantages, so although the Liaodong Ming army has an advantage in weapons and equipment, the hard work The training is still not negligible.

Conscientiously summarizing the tactical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and the enemy in the previous battle will be of great benefit to future battles. Even the army that has not participated in the previous battle can adjust its tactics based on the experience of the participating troops. Avoid more casualties and annihilate more enemies in the battle.

The troops that participated in the war last time were all rewarded generously. Some were promoted, some got rich, and some bachelors got a wife. Of course, some of the generals used their power to turn some beautiful women into their own wives. Concubine, with Xia Xun's wide eyes and ears, it's not that he doesn't know, but he just pretends not to know, let them go, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, even if he is God, he can't stop others from looking back.

And yu looking back, isn't it the biggest motivation for people to go from crawling to standing up, from drinking blood to appreciating beautiful clothes, and never tire of it?What happened in Liaodong greatly inspired the whole army.They are different from others, they want to climb up the ladder, they want high officials and rich salary, beautiful concubines and wives, the only way is to fight.

Now they are like people who have made a fortune in business, suddenly discovering that there are so many opportunities for them to live a better life in this boring place. Once the incentives are placed there...they become a group The militants, who originally only held the idea of ​​​​"It's best not to attack the Tatars...", now they hold their energy all day long, thinking about only one thing: when will they go back to it?

Xia Xun is not worried about the impact of business on traditional industries such as agriculture, because here, traditional industries are backward, not advanced, and business needs to communicate with each other. Halfway to make it.After all, there are only a small number of people who can participate in direct commercial trade, and most people still have to engage in various traditional industries.

Therefore, when there are not enough horses to buy and sell, some people will come up with various incentives to encourage herdsmen to raise horses; When the quantity of all kinds of mountain delicacies is not enough to meet the needs, some people will organize more people to pick them and then breed them.When they find out that furs are shipped out, and the profits are dozens or even hundreds of times that of them, they will think of hiring craftsmen and building their own fur production industry after they have earned capital...

Agriculture, forestry, fishery, and even industry will rise again due to the rise of commerce...

When people began to fall in love with this place and began to discover the vitality here, Xia Xun felt a little homesick.

So in this hot summer, Fu Xun, who didn't want to go out, spread out paper in his study and wrote a letter home.

The windows on both sides were open, and the breeze passed through the windows, bringing some coolness. Xia Xun bit the pen holder, thinking about where to start writing.

In the yard, two women were enjoying the shade of a tree. They talked and laughed crisply from time to time.

This is a gift given to Xia Xun by others. Since the Wugu tribe was brought down in the First World War in Liaodong, the leaders of nearby tribes have expressed their friendship to the Governor. relation.

Immediately afterwards, the vigorous development of various businesses brought huge business opportunities to Liaodong, so aristocratic families and tribal leaders from all over Liaodong also flocked here, and now even many tribal leaders in the Nuergan area have joined in one after another. Into the ranks of gift-giving and fawning.

In this kind of place, there are only three things that the nomadic Hui people give most as gifts: horses and leather goods. Therefore, Xia Xun has received so many horses that he can open a large ranch by himself, and the high-quality leather goods he received are enough to fill a family. Not inferior to Beiping Xie Chuanzhong's large-scale fur shop, not to mention the women he received, he could build a pink army.

Xia Xun's fur goods were all transferred to the pass, where he could get the most benefit. The horses he received were all supplemented by Liaodong's cavalry. As for the women, he also gave them away after changing hands. The two in the yard have not been found yet. suitable receiver.

The women that can be given to Xia Xun are of course very beautiful. Jurchens, Koreans, Japanese, Uighurs, Hans, and many mixed-race beauties. Here, all ethnic groups live together and are born of mixed-race marriages. There are many men and women, and most of the mixed-race women are very beautiful. The two girls in the yard are from Russia (Russia).

One of the girls was named Sana Bowa, and Fu Xun couldn't remember the other.They are very beautiful, with wild chestnut hair and big blue eyes as deep as a lake of clear water.Russian men like to call their sweethearts "cute little birches", and obviously, they fit this feature.

Compared with the high-nosed and deep-eyed Western Europeans, Miss Rose's facial curves are softer, but more stylish than the flat-faced Mongolians.

They have sculpted eyebrows that are rare for European women, and their eye sockets are not as sunken as Western Europeans.At the same time, their skin was dazzlingly white, but they lacked the freckles that Caucasians are accustomed to. Their slender pair of eyes made their beauty reveal a kind of aggressive arrogance.

But here, they have no room for arrogance. They don't understand Chinese, but after the initial anxiety, they quickly adapted to life here and were very happy, because this place is much richer than their hometown. It is difficult to see such a rich and human being in such a country.There are so many big cities, people wear such gorgeous clothes, food is so rich, and the climate is much more comfortable.

This was what the two of them were talking about in the yard, but it was a pity that Xia Xun couldn't understand them, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.Numerous big cities?The clothes people wear here are gorgeous, and the food is rich?If they were taken to Jinling, wouldn't they treat them as a paradise?

But Xia Xun didn't intend to take them home, because Xia Xun was a little afraid of his wife now.It's not because of Ming'er's family background and status, Ming'er has never been domineering in this regard, and Xia Xun will never allow his wife to show off her family background, or show respect for it.Maybe it's just because of love, old men always love their little daughter-in-law very much.

Xia Xun realized that he was really old. He had only been away for a few months, and he began to miss his home, his wife, and his children, so much so that here, no matter how rich the food was, he couldn't enjoy it.He was not like this before. When Yan Wang Jing was in trouble, he placed Ziqi and Xie Xie on a relatively safe island, and he didn't have a reunion for such a long time and didn't have much thought.

Of course there were other factors involved, because it was the critical moment for King Yan's success or failure at that time, but it is different now, but it cannot be denied that as he grows older, he is indeed more attached to his family than before.

There was already a memorial next to Xia Xun, which was going to be presented to the emperor.

After Xia Xun arrived in Liaodong, every time he did some major events, every time there were some changes, he would report to the court in time, report to the emperor or ask for votes.He didn't want to give the imperial court the impression that he was the king and hegemony in Liaodong. In this memorial, Xia Xun described in detail his recent actions, as well as the gratifying changes in Liaodong, as well as a large amount of statistical data and analysis materials. , very detailed, but not too many gorgeous words, Zhu Di is a pragmatic emperor, he does not need to pile up a bunch of praise words, he only needs to narrate the facts.

In the end, Xia Xun proposed that he would go back to Jinling after the next battle.Because about the current situation in Liaodong, a memorial is not complete. At the same time, he has many ideas, and he needs the emperor's approval one by one, and based on his understanding of the Tatar military strength and the increasingly tense hostile relationship between Tatar and Oala He is sure that after the next war, the Tatars will not be able to continue to invade Liaodong for a long time.

At the end of the letter, he told Ming'er that he might have a chance to go back to Jinling soon, and told his wife to hurry up and wait for her. His favour.Then he sealed the letter, called his confidant family general, and ordered him to send the memorial and family letter to the capital.

More than an hour after the family left, a large number of people from the capital came to Kaiyuan City.Huang Zhen, the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Xitong, the Secretary of the Honglu Temple, and Baihu Guzhou, the Fuzhou navy division, besides these acquaintances, there is also Yixin, also called Yishiha, this is a Haixi Jurchen An eunuch of his native place, he brought a secret decree from Emperor Yongle to Xia Xun.

The secret decree said: "The imperial court's confidant's troubles must be in the north! You don't need to be anxious, just let go and do things. Doing the right thing is more important than sticking to the rules. The task of managing Liaodong is heavy and the road is long. You must do your best and don't slack off. In a few days, Lian will set off on a northern tour, and you can meet Lian in Beijing to discuss state affairs together!"

After reading the secret decree, Xia Xun looked up to the sky and sighed: "If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night..."

Huang Zhen, Gu Zhou, Zhang Xitong and others looked at each other after hearing this: "What did the emperor say?" @.
