Chapter 603 Dayan Zhongliang
On the grill, skewers of mutton were simmering in oil, making a crisp and attractive sound;
Uncle Zheng grabbed a small handful of cumin, which was very satisfying Decorate the ground.
Besides, Liu Ruqing was wiping the sweat from Uncle Zheng's forehead.
In the courtyard,
Just Uncle Zheng and Liu Ruqing.
The princess is writing a family letter. This family letter will be attached as the first diplomatic communication from the Marquis Palace to Chu after the court conferring the title of Marquis.
This actually contains the attitude of the Marquis Mansion in eastern Shanxi towards Chu, its neighbor, in the next few years.
Let the princess add her family letter here, which is a more descriptive expression than words;
Political marriage is never reliable,
In the face of real interests, the so-called marriage, the so-called love between children of the family, are all a joke;
Since ancient times, not only killing the father to seize the throne, but also kissing nephews, cousins, and in-laws. What's missing from the annexation and backstabbing between the two countries?
In fact, those who overthrow everything and take the initiative are the minority among the minority. Most of the time, power changes when dynasties change. If you look closely, you will find that they are all relatives.
But how to say,
There is such a relationship,
When both parties need to "recuperate", it can be more natural and smoother, and both parties can have a proper explanation internally and externally.
Therefore, this family letter has great political significance;
The princess does not care about the safety of the people of the two countries and whether they will be invaded by war,
>
Oh no,
The princess still cares a little about the soldiers and civilians at Snow Customs;
According to the blind man's report,
During the days when Uncle Zheng was on the expedition,
the princess had several times visited the orphans and widows in Biaohu on behalf of Uncle Zheng and as his wife. , condolences to the veterans who were disabled on the battlefield and returned to their hometown;
The princess will hold their hands and greet them.
As winter approaches, the Chinese New Year is about to begin. I wonder if my family has prepared enough winter food and New Year’s goods.
The effect was excellent, and I was greatly moved.
Many soldiers and civilians in Snow Customs regard the noble princess as a living Bodhisattva,
Then,
Everyone seems to have overlooked one thing,
That is most of the men in Xueguan, Lang Qingzhuang, who are currently attacking the Chu State where this noble princess was born.
The princess cares about the soldiers and civilians of Xueguan because she understands that this is her husband's inheritance, and it is also an inheritance that her son can share in the future.
Although on that day,
my husband watched Prince Jingnan crawling on the map,
said those treasonous words,
Faintly,
It revealed that even if he really conquered the country in the future, he would give it to Tiantian to repay King Jingnan's favor.
But the princess is not worried about this.
One reason is because her husband has no heirs yet.
With no heirs,
only one can be poor and generous ;
Once you have an heir, you naturally want the best for your child;
Secondly,
Now King Jingnan is still King Jingnan. Although the crown prince of Jingnan has an official status It's not clear, but it has a lot of potential.
But what about five years from now?
But what about ten years from now?
But in twenty or thirty years,
has the world really become peaceful again?
The bloodline of King Jingnan,
Is it possible that it can really be compared to the bloodline of Great Yanping Yebo?
People,
Soldiers,
will they allow someone who is not from their own uncle’s bloodline to be emperor?
So,
the princess doesn’t want to think too much about the shadow. She is in seclusion now. She must study this family letter carefully and write it appropriately;
< br>First, doing things for your husband is a political task entrusted to you by your husband personally;
Secondly, this family letter is also related to her face as a princess of the Chu State when she returns to Chu for relatives in the future, and is related to her political influence in the Chu State.
She loved scenery and power. She never hid this fact, but confessed it to her husband, who didn't mind at all.
For this reason,
the princess is busy with official duties,
in the back house of the Earl's Mansion,
Only Uncle Zheng and Liu Ruqing were left to relax.
Uncle Zheng sneaked in with one hand quietly;
Just like he rushed thousands of miles to attack the snow customs,
then,
with one stroke,
One vertical stroke,
one stroke,
one stroke.
“Hiss……”
Suddenly, it was like waves on the Wangjiang River, rolling southward;
Suddenly, it was as powerful as the fire of Jingcheng, endless;
Liu Ruqing bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth,
leaning forward involuntarily,
said shyly;
“Uncle~~~~~~”
Uncle Zheng's whole heart trembled.
This is the sound,
This is the tune,
This is the desire to refuse but the shame;
"Ruqing, turn the meat over."
"Yes, uncle~~"
Liu Ruqing reached out to flip the meat skewers on the grill,
her body was shaking from time to time,
looking back,
Looked at my uncle with great sadness,
Afterwards,
I had no choice but to continue turning over the meat skewers.
But I am extremely shy,
But I can’t refuse,
After getting closer from time to time,
You have to loosen the gap slightly,
You can’t let him ruin yourself,
You can’t let him not ruin yourself,
You can’t let him feel that he is casual,
Don't let him feel that he is not casual at all;
After all, his heart and future were promised to him,
he had no choice but to go,
gone~~
"Uncle, bake..." ...It’s baked.”
Zheng Fan nodded,
Withdrawing his hand,
Liu Ruqing picked up a towel lying next to him and helped wipe it.
Immediately,
Uncle Zheng took a meat skewer and ate it;
Actually, the smell of barbecue is just the smell of barbecue, not so much Eating meat is better said to be eating seasonings.
When eating barbecue, the key is to look at your mood, the environment, and who you’re with.
Liu Ruqing was also eating. She was not too formal. She held a skewer in one hand and lifted one side of her hair with the other, tilting her face slightly as she ate.
I can only say,
A truly beautiful person,
she does not need too much pretense,
It is beautiful in itself.
Uncle Zheng felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Coming back from fighting outside,
Teasing and teasing his beautiful concubine,
This is called life, this That’s what we call living.
"Uncle, I'm full."
Eating meat makes you full.
Uncle Zheng nodded, picked up the skewers again, put them on again and continued grilling, and at the same time said:
"Send a message and let those people come in."< br>
“Yes, uncle.”
Liu Ruqing went down.
Uncle Zheng reached out and gently rubbed his chin.
It is said to be leisurely, said to be on vacation, said to not let things disturb you, but once you are involved in the situation, how can you completely escape?
It was okay when he was gone,
Since he is now in the Snow Customs,
There are some things
he still has to come forward in person.
Not long after, several savage tribe leaders and some young people wearing the bodyguard armor of the Earl of Snow Customs Mansion came in, and they all knelt down to Uncle Zheng who was grilling skewers.
“See you, uncle.”
“See you, uncle.”
Uncle Zheng took back his hand on the skewers,
pointed to a young guard, and then pointed to the grill.
The guard understood, stood up immediately, and took over the skewers.
Uncle Zheng is wearing a grizzly bear leather coat today, made by Siniang, with gold trim around his neck. He looks powerful and restrained.
Put your hands on your cuffs,
Uncle Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, leaned back slightly,
leaning on the chair,
his gaze,
swept over the people kneeling there,
>
There was no rush to wake them up.
In the yard,
there was only the sound of grilled skewers coming out of oil.
After a while,
Uncle Zheng said;
“Hailan Yang Valley, I haven’t seen you for a long time, you are so rich.”
Hailan Yanggu, the leader of the Hailan tribe who was kneeling on the ground, immediately kowtowed and said:
"Thanks to your blessing, Mr. Tobo, my Hailan tribe has abundant forage, so I can't help but eat more on weekdays." A few mouthfuls of meat and a few more sips of wine made my body feel better."
"Hahahaha, you are so lucky. I just came back from the expedition a few days ago, and my wife said that I have lost weight."
Hailan Yanggu's heart trembled. ,
Immediately said:
"Uncle is still heroic and extraordinary. In slave's eyes, uncle is like a star on this snowy field, high above, shining in all directions!"
"Hailan Yang Valley."
"Slave is here .”
“Raise your head and let me take a closer look.”
Hearing this, Hailan Yanggu raised his head obediently,
On his face, there are two whip marks that have faded a lot but are still clearly visible.
These two whips
were whipped by Zheng Fan himself.
“Do you still want to be whipped on your face?”
“Slave, I know my sin, I know my sin!”
In fact, Hailan Yanggu really didn't know what crime he was guilty of, but he could only plead guilty at this time.
"Oh, how can you, the leader of the Hailan clan, plead guilty? What crime do you have?"
"The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty!"
" Okay, where is the sin?"
"This...this..."
"You are not guilty."
"No, no, no, the slave is guilty, the slave is guilty."
"No, you are not guilty, not only you, but also you, you, you, You leaders are the first to attach themselves to my snow The Customs was the first to submit to Ben Bo. You are the most loyal to Ben Bo in this snowy plain.
Aren’t you?”
Hailan Yanggu and other leaders immediately kowtowed:
"We will loyally follow Uncle Pingye to the death."
When Zheng Fan first arrived at Xuehaiguan, the Hailan tribe was just a small tribe near Xuehaiguan, with a population of just over 2,000.
But as Zheng Fan led the Yan army to clear the snowfield several times, a certain vacuum appeared in the snowfield. Then, these small tribes who were the first to join the Snow Customs ushered in an opportunity for rapid development.
With the Yan people at their back, they can be said to be very powerful in the snowfield, not to mention the entire snowfield, but at least this area near the south. These small tribes in the past can be said to be full of food. .
Take the Hailan Tribe, which had only about 2,000 members back then, as an example. Now, the population of the Hailan Tribe is no less than 50,000!
Yes, no less than 50,000, not counting the affiliated small tribes that submitted to the Hailan tribe.
Based on the ratio of one shot for five puffs, there are over 10,000 warriors in the Hailan tribe now!
The little one in the past has grown into the new Tibetan Mastiff in the snowy plains since becoming the Yan people’s dog.
Of course, one must first have doubts about their combat effectiveness. Even if there are ten thousand warriors, three thousand cavalry from Xuehaiguan can probably overwhelm them with their eyes closed.
After all, the ethnic groups were annexed too quickly, and there was no time to implement the sense of belonging and lower-level governance. It was nothing more than another form of mountain king combination.
Zheng Fan smiled.
In the yard,
he was the only one smiling.
The rest of the people did not dare to ask why the uncle suddenly laughed. The more Zheng Fan behaved like this, the more frightened they became.
Although the Yan army has never penetrated deeply into the snowfield on a large scale, it can be said that it is invincible in several sweeps, and the battle loss ratio is extremely exaggerated. As a result, the savages on the snowfield are fighting against the Yan people and the black dragon flag. There is already a sense of awe from the bottom of my heart.
"Uncle, I want to reward you well!"
Zheng Fan paused,
said:
"Hailan Kucha, Hailan Bogu... ..."
Uncle Zheng read out the names of more than ten of his personal guards present.
These personal guards have been following him since last year.
They are all the sons of these tribal leaders.
"I want to make you a general."
To make more than ten generals in one go is definitely a big deal.
But considering that Uncle Zheng will soon be promoted to Lord Zheng, these are nothing.
Personal guards are just like the leader's secretary. It is a custom in the military to send personal guards out to lead troops. It is the same among the four major countries.
Of course,
a title is just a title.
A general must have at least a battalion of soldiers and horses under his command, right?
Uncle Zheng will not send out a single soldier,
Even
they won’t produce a single weapon,
they are all the sons of the leader of the Snowfield Tribe,
he has made them official,
They should be grateful
Then,
they spent their own money to buy warriors, horses and ordnance for their sons.
Warriors and war horses are easy to deal with;
What to do with ordnance?
Xueyuan's smelting technology is not up to par. Furthermore, the Snow Navy is about to undergo a new round of uniform changes. You can't let your son's soldiers and horses be in tatters or miscellaneous, right?
This is not a problem,
Can I buy it,
Place an order with Xue Customs and Foundry Bureau,
Payment can be made with gold and silver,
Cattle, sheep, and horses
can also be paid.
People from the clan can work in the many workshops of Xueguan, and they can also be credited.
Even,
you can also get credit first,
Wait until next year when the pasture is plentiful and the cattle and sheep are fat, then pay it back!
The leaders, represented by Hailan Yanggu, were stunned at first, then panicked, then empty, and finally, forcibly ecstatic,
Kowtowed together;
“Thank you, uncle, for the reward. Your kindness and kindness will always shine on the snowy fields!”
“Thank you, uncle, for the reward!”
"My uncle's kindness knows no bounds!"
More than a dozen generals titles,
were given out like this.
To put it bluntly,
it's nothing more than another It is a replica of the time when Uncle Zheng tricked the eldest prince into going on a mission to the snowy plains with a carved carrot seal.
These official titles actually cost nothing to Uncle Zheng.
But Uncle Zheng was able to harvest immediately,
Nearly 20,000 wild man cavalry!
These wild cavalry are all good at equestrian skills and have high-quality horses. They also purchase ordnance from the official foundry bureau at their own expense.
Even if he has a new force in his hands,
It also greatly weakened the power of these tribes who relied on their own big trees to enjoy the shade in the snowy fields.
Dogs,
should be fed,
but not too fat.
If they are too fat, their courage will also become fat.
It may come back to bite the owner.
Bloodletting must be done in a sequenced manner,
Zheng Boye’s trick,
can be said to be well versed in the scientific development of continuous cutting of leeks.
As for the issue of combat power,
Don't worry,
The differences between races are actually not that big, at least, not as big as imagined.
You can say that the savages are not good at fighting and are often beaten violently by the Yan army with only a fraction of their strength.
But the Savage King led the savages into the Snow Pass and defeated Situ Lei and the eldest prince’s Eastern Expedition army.
These savage cavalry were divided up and returned to their respective towns. They were scattered, kneaded, and digested.
With coordinated training,
it must be another elite soldier!
A Cheng is here, Gou Moli is here, and now Jinshu is here, and several of their new generals are here. Coupled with the ideological and political education of the blind man's group, Uncle Zheng is very interested in military training. I really don't worry about it at all.
Two great passes and one city,
The land of eastern Shanxi,
The territory suddenly expanded too fast and too big.
Is the military strength sufficient?
Necessarily it is not enough.
So,
the barbarian soldiers must be used now. Fortunately, there is the First Town in front. Gou Moli has already used the blood of the barbarians in the battle against Chu. Having contributed enough sincerity, if the wild soldiers are used next, the resistance of the local soldiers and civilians will be much weaker.
Moreover,
The military town system modeled on the "Eight Banners" itself can greatly weaken the barriers between ethnic groups, integrate war and production, and form a system of marking households, camps, and towns. After that, there is a new sense of belonging system with Uncle Zheng at the top.
The situation Huang Taiji faced at the beginning was actually similar to Uncle Zheng now, so Huang Taiji changed Jurchen to Manchu.
The same goes for Uncle Zheng,
He is nominally from Yan,
However, the number of Yan soldiers and horses under Uncle Zheng's command only accounted for a small part.
There are already successful examples, why not use them?
Of course, this group of savage soldiers and horses will not all belong to the first town of the savage king, but they will all be affected by the rain and dew.
The Savage King can lead troops in the future, but most of the time, he has to stay with Uncle Zheng as a military advisor.
It is impossible for him to dispatch a large number of all-savage troops. Not to mention that Uncle Zheng would feel uncomfortable. Even if he stayed alone, he would probably feel a chill on his neck.
In addition to the barbarian soldiers and horses, the refugees from the Jin area selected young men to join the army, and the auxiliary soldiers from the Yan area joined the army, including the part that had been intercepted with the tacit consent of the King of Jingnan, and they would also be quickly absorbed into the Snow Navy in a short period of time.
Equipment, training, and ideological and political education can only be postponed for now.
In short,
the heads and camp heads must be quickly pulled up first.
Being granted the title of Marquis is a sure thing, we just have to wait for the imperial decree;
However, the entire land of eastern Jin needs to be prepared for threats from the Xueyuan and the Chu Kingdom. At the same time, it is necessary to have a constant force of troops to suppress possible changes in the Jin area. The number of troops required is really not a small number.
Uncle Zheng and the Demon Kings were originally perfectionists. They did not like to rush into the army blindly when their combat effectiveness and quality could not keep up. But now they really have to grasp the main contradiction first.
If your troops are insufficient,
will the imperial court leave you a few general soldiers to help you garrison?
As the name suggests, assisting in defense?
Doesn’t this mean asking someone to install nails in your home?
Right now,
with King Jingnan in front, he can block most of the divisions and early suppression methods from the court;
But the premise is that you yourself You have to be able to hold up.
Anyway, if we don’t go to war recently, we just need to draw up our troops first, and then slowly train to improve our combat effectiveness.
The chiefs and their sons all went down.
When they left,
each of them took two skewers of mutton in his hand and ate them while walking.
I guess, my heart is bleeding while eating, this may be the most expensive and most evil barbecue bar in the world.
Sent away these leaders,
Uncle Zheng originally thought about going to Liu Ruqing to be gentle and gentle,
and hearing "uncle" a few more times,
but at this time,
Ji Laoliu's letter,
Arrived.
When Yingdu was conquered, the messenger set off to Yanjing, and then returned with the letter from Yanjing. The journey was long and time-consuming. When the reply was received, Uncle Zheng himself had already returned to Xue Customs.
Letter paper,
a lot of it,
Uncle Zheng looked at it one by one,
lost it one by one.
"Is this Ji Laoliu doing performance art with me?"
A few more lines, then cross them out;
A few more lines, then cross them out;
What's going on? ,
So far away, you still send me your thoughts when you wrote the letter?
Tsk, that’s a little too numb.
Look at the end,
In fact, this is the real reply content:
Beast, help me.
——Bitch.
"Ha."
Uncle Zheng raised his eyebrows and
smiled.
Being able to write this letter,
proves that Emperor Yan’s body really cannot survive for long, and some things are already imminent.
Uncle Zheng picked up the pen and
wrote a reply,
The letter was very simple,
Uncle Zheng’s reply,
even simpler:
< br>
I am Dayan Zhongliang!
——————The writing is actually in good shape these days, but the plot is a bit stuck, so I will update it today, and I will make up for it tomorrow, so don’t panic!
