Blood from Daming

Chapter 100 Beauty
It's almost the end of the year, and the city of Datong already has the taste of Chinese New Year. The reward for the victory of the Ming army in Datong's Fangshan Yonggu Mausoleum has finally arrived, which can be regarded as double happiness.

Accompanied by Jin Yiwei, the Da Nei eunuch came down to Datong to announce the decree: Xue Yunshi was awarded the rank of Deputy General of Dingguo, and he was appointed as the second-rank military attache to act as the commander-in-chief. The magistrate was promoted to the governor of Shanxi, Yu Dacheng was awarded the title of deputy general, the commander of Weiluo of Datong was promoted to the first rank of knighthood, Zhang Can general was promoted to the first rank of knighthood, and Lizhi County of Datong County acted as the magistrate of Datong Prefecture.The promotion of below [-] bosses shall be reported and approved by Datong Town.

Most of the civil and military officials in Datong City have been promoted to rank, no matter how bad they are, they have won a lot of money. Everyone is happy and beaming. This year is the happiest and happiest year for everyone in Datong in recent years.

Xue Liu recruited more than 2000 people from counties around Datong Prefecture and the Henan border to supplement his troops. Li Xiaoyong and Ji Tianen also returned from Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi, and brought more than 1000 Shaanxi men to join the army in Datong.

I heard from Ji Tianen that the family members of Wang Kui's brothers were very happy after getting the money. The most important thing is that the family members don't have to bear the name of a thief, and they are very grateful to General Xue. They all signed up enthusiastically. Among the more than 1000 Shaanxi men, they are inextricably related to Wang Kui, Ji Tianen, and Yu Tudi.

Xue Yun asked: "How is the harvest in Tianen Shaanxi?"

Ji Tianen replied: "General, Shaanxi has been suffering from disasters in recent years. I don't know much about other places. In my hometown, Yan'an Mansion has almost no harvest. Many people are fleeing famine and begging for food. How many families will not be able to survive this year, so when we talk about recruiting, thousands of people will come in a few days, not because the general’s requirements for recruiting are high, and tens of thousands of him will not be a problem.”

Xue Yun said with a smile: "I want you to recruit soldiers, not to pull the pole."

Li Xiaoyong said: "Master, we recruited troops to attract the attention of the Suide Prefecture government, thinking that we were preparing to rebel. Later, everyone figured out that it was a misunderstanding. The prefect of Suide Prefecture wished that we would recruit more people. Without these young people If you stay in Suide Prefecture, the rest of the old, weak, sick, and disabled government officials will feel more at ease."

Xue Yun asked: "How are the families of Tian En's fallen soldiers and the families of the recruits doing?"

Ji Tianen said: "The families of our group of brothers have received hundreds of taels of silver. As long as they don't spend money randomly, they will be able to live well. I also said that life will be difficult in the future. The general welcomes them to Datong Mansion in Shanxi. The recruits' families each receive 50 taels of silver. The settling allowance of two silver coins should be manageable for a while, and after a while, the recruits will ask someone to take them home, and their life is much better than that of the local people."

Li Xiaoyong: "Young master, Ji Tianen became very angry this time when he went back, hehe, Mr. Qian Zong, a dignified military officer of the Ming Dynasty, the patriarch of their village is obsequious to him, and he has really passed the addiction of returning home with rich clothes. He and the 1000 taels you gave were given to those who helped him before, but when he left, the village forced a juicy little daughter-in-law to her."

Xue Yun: "Zhenlei, take a look at the houses that have been confiscated in Datong City, and if there are any available, give Mr. Ji Qian a home." Ji Tianen looked at Xue Yun and didn't know what to say.

When Xue Yun and Xue Liu were left alone, Xue Yun said: "Sixth brother, you choose one thousand to serve as cavalry, and I keep five hundred in the Chinese army, and the rest go to Li Xiaoyong's firearms camp. There are about 2000 people in the Chinese army. You There are 3000 people in the cavalry battalion and 5000 people in the firearms battalion, no matter how much the court can’t justify, we can’t support ourselves.”

Xue Liu: "Master, I understand that life will be easier when the caravan arrives in spring next year."

Xue Yun: "It's also customary for the court to ask me to go back. The emperor must personally meet once if he is a lieutenant general. It's just that our emperor has the heart to call me. I am too busy with my carpentry work. Most likely the people next to me have something to do." Let’s play tricks, you have to lead the team well and discuss things with the princess more, the eldest lady has some things to say, her family has been military officers of the Ming Dynasty for generations, do you understand?”

Xue Liu: "Young master, don't worry, I understand the way of warriors. At the critical moment, the court will definitely understand that you can't do without the young master. The young master heard that Mei Xiang is going to give birth in a month or two. You have to upgrade, young master." .”

Xue Yun: "Sixth brother, you have to work hard yourself, don't waste the girls in your family." Xue Liu was a little embarrassed by Xue Yun's words.

After Xue Liu left, Xue Yun returned to the inner room. Hari Zhula, Ao Lan, and Lian Zi were all in the room. Xue Yun stroked Hari Zhula's abdomen carefully. It's too early to be pregnant just now."

Xue Yun: "Let me touch it, um, it seems to have a feeling inside."

Harijula ​​slapped Xue Yun on the back of his hand lightly: "You are necrotic, that's because his heart is beating." Even so, Harijula ​​still showed a sweet smile.

Xue Yun: "You don't have to run back and forth at the side wall of Hari Zhula, just let Jiggler carry it all the time."

Harijula: "There are more and more Mongolian people coming here now. If I'm not around, Uncle Jiergrad's prestige is still a little bit reluctant. It's okay to be pregnant now. I'm most worried that next year the Jurchen will report revenge on our Datong and Horqin Grasslands."

Xue Yun: "Don't worry, your husband has trained [-] Xue's troops, and Datong Prefecture also has tens of thousands of Ming troops. Together with Shangchahar Lindan Khan, the Jianzhou Jurchen may not be able to win us."

Harijula: "I have 8000 people in my hand, and only about 5000 people can ride horses to fight. The strength on the grassland is too weak. A few days ago, my brother sent someone again. This time he didn't ask me to take my sister. Go back to Horqin, but to explain that the Jurchens will send troops next year and we Datong must do our best to help him, otherwise the Horqin tribe may be wiped out by the Jurchens."

Xue Yun said: "Promise him, no matter how bad our natal family is, we can't let it go. Besides, the Jianzhou Jurchens are our sworn enemies. Naturally, everyone must unite to deal with the Jurchens. We must not let him break us down." Hari Zhula was very satisfied and leaned her head on Xue Yun's shoulder with indescribable tenderness.

Xue Yun said: "Next year's war with the Jurchen Nurhaci is inevitable. Whenever there is a situation, your tribe will move closer to Datong. I will visit the capital this time for a routine audience. If the imperial court does not let me go back to Datong, you will pretend to be other Mongolians." The Horde is making a move to the north."

Harijula ​​said: "Master, don't worry, robbing the Ming Dynasty is a good skill for us Mongolians."

Xue Yun repeatedly told Hari Zhula: "At that time, you should try to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty as little as possible. Officials, wealthy businessmen and landlords Ao Lan and Lian Zi who need to do something will notify you of the list. Don't mess around. Datong is our old den. Yo."

Harijula: "Master, what do you think about the future, do you think that the emperor of the Central Plains world, you plan to grant me a seat in the harem."

Xue Yun: "Harijula, I haven't thought about this yet, and my strength is very weak, so now I just hope that the people of the Ming Dynasty will be less hurt by those Tartars. If there are any changes in the future, let's see and talk about it. In the future, you will be counted." If you can’t be a noble concubine, you will definitely become a queen mother in the Mongolian grassland.”

Hari Zhula rubbed his belly: "Then we have made a promise that you will come to the desert if you have a bad life in the Ming Dynasty. I want to be the queen first and then the queen mother."

Xue Yun instructed: "Harizhula, Chahar Lindan Khan Zhishu has no leadership temperament of an overlord. In the future, you must use your status as a princess to handle the internal relations of Mongolia, and cooperate with the leaders of Chahar, Monan and even Mobei Keep good contacts, so that our power in the desert will continue to grow."

Hari Zhula nodded and suddenly said quietly to Xue Yun: "Actually, Princess Namuzhong likes you very much. When I was with me, at least one of the three sentences was about you."

Xue Yun was a little surprised when he heard this, so he said to Harijula: "I am her younger brother now, so it is only natural for her to talk about me."

Harijula: "Seeing you staring at Namuzhong obsessively, don't say you have no idea. The first time I met Namuzhong, I held your hand, and you never took it back. Don’t tell me there’s no such thing.” Xue Yun was so ashamed that he couldn’t bear to speak to Hari Zhula for a long time.

Hari Zhula touched Xue Yun's ear with a mosquito-like voice and said, "Na Muzhong told me that she envied my luck very much, that you are handsome and handsome, and that she would rather exchange the position of concubine than I am willing to spend a good night with you, and I regret not marrying you, a Han family man."

After hearing this, Xue Yun didn't know how to answer Harijula's topic, so he had to pretend to be an ostrich and buried his head in silence. Harijula ​​leaned against Xue Yun's ear with a blushing face, and Xue Yun felt that Harijula's red face was very red. Burning.

Harijula ​​went on to say: "The next time Princess Namuzhong comes, she hopes that you can develop a further relationship with her, and let me connect the two of you."

Xue Yun pretended to be angry and said: "Harizhula, what you said is all nonsense. Now that Lin Danhan is the elder brother, I can't do such a thing."

Harijula's voice was a little trembling: "I also know that you are not such a person, but Princess Namuzhong said that she thinks that you will have a great future in the future, and she is willing to be your concubine. Accept her." Xue Yun remained silent and did not speak.

Harijula: "Namuzhong said that Lin Dan Khan would lose to Jurchen sooner or later, and asked the general if he is interested in Mongolia's ten thousand li territory."
