Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 122 - Chapter 120

In Liaodong, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yan State began to build a dot-line defensive fortress here, and then in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Goguryeo was moved inland to the Central Plains, and more and more Han people began to appear in the Liaodong area.

After that...

It was Daming's turn.

As this land returned to the rule of the Han people again, Zhu Yuanzhang not only consolidated the border defense, but also allowed more Han people to take root here through a series of methods such as setting up guards, relocating people, and moving troops.

If there are Han people, there will be arable land. They don't care what the land was used for, as long as it is land, they will try to grow a kind of food.

And once the food is grown, this area will have a foundation, and then slowly affect the fishing and hunting people, leading them to eat with their hands, and no longer think about looting.

The greatness of the Han nation is great here. They have a strong development ability, and they will slowly develop the barren land into a prosperous appearance.

After so many years of development, the Liaodong area has now become a treasure land.

Since Zhen Wu and others left the customs.

The sky is high and the land is wide, not to mention galloping horses, more and more arable land began to fall into Zhen Wu's eyes. There are farmlands and military fields, showing hope.

Everyone did not delay much on the road and galloped all the way.

At the beginning, everyone was curious, and they just felt happy when they ran, but after a few days, some people put on a bitter face, and they didn't even want to talk. Every time they got off the horse, they wanted to kiss the ground.

Zhen Wu smiled and said nothing.

When Gu Ming saw it, he was overjoyed and said, "Does this make you feel miserable? I think that when we were years ago, Lao Zhen and I went to Mobei to investigate Naierbuhua, and we stayed on horseback for more than a month. , basically get on the horse every day with eyes open, and sometimes even climb on the horseback to rest at night, but no one complained."

Xue Lu and the others have mostly heard of this matter, and Zhen Wu and the others did not brag about it when drinking in the past.

But before Xue Lu and the others listened to it, they didn't have any specific concept of a month on the horse.

But now that he has experienced such a situation, he immediately admires Zhen Wu and the others.

"Besides, it's just windy now. If it snows, it will be called suffering." Gu Ming said proudly.

Seeing that Xue Lu and the others looked bitter again, Zhen Wu said, "Okay, I don't suffer as much as he said, I won't notice it when I get used to it, and this place is not far from Tieling, when we get there After Tieling, let's rest for a few days."

Habit?

Gu Ming looked at Zhen Wu in a daze, but in the next moment, a smile appeared on his face, looking forward to having fun.

Habit is just a simple word, but it is not easy to get used to it. Gu Ming saw with his own eyes how Zhen Wu and Zhang Wu got used to living immediately.

If you don't progress step by step, you can only suffer a lot.

Afterwards, the crowd rushed all the way again, passed Guangning Wei, Dongning Wei, Shenyang Wei, and then went straight to Tieling Wei. On this road, the further north they went, the colder the weather and the fewer people.

After arriving at the Tieling Guard, there are almost only the Tunjun Zhuangzi and the Border Guard Fort left in the surrounding area. Except for some bold merchants, ordinary people are rarely seen, and the sergeants here are a little more solemn and calm than some guards in the south. A little frivolous.

When everyone stepped into Tieling, Xue Lu and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Zhen Wu didn't take care of anyone along the way and slowed down, so they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

Gu Ming secretly nodded to them.

That's what Ming soldiers have to do, no matter what hardships they have to endure.

Zhen Wu took these people to find an inn, and tidied up briefly. Seeing that it was still early in the day, Zhen Wu left the inn to wander around the city. It became clearer.

This is the real border town.

Zhen Wu has learned about the current border defense layout of Ming Dynasty, from east to west, Tieling Guard, Quanning Guard and Xuan Mansion, this line is the battle line facing the Mongolians in the north.

Quanning Guard is even more important among them. It is located near Chifeng City in later generations. It was a guard post that was just set up last year. The tribe collapsed and was absorbed by Duoyan and other tribes.

The result is that Quan Ningwei has set up a loneliness.

Moreover, Quanningwei is the same as Tielingwei. The north is Tainingwei's Azali territory. Once Azali rebels, he can enter Quanning and occupy Gaozhou. If he goes south, he can attack Beiping, and if he sticks to it, he can be alone in Liaodong .

Therefore, if Azashili wanted to rebel, the court would definitely not turn a blind eye to it, and sending troops was a certainty.

Zhen Wu was thinking about these things while walking.

Quanningwei belongs to the capital of Daning, but now it has been renamed the capital of Beiping and belongs to the fiefdom of King Ning.

It's just that King Ning, who is also considered famous in later generations, and King Liao of Liaodong haven't taken over yet. I don't know if it's because of the mess here.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu was taken aback.

He seemed to feel Zhu Yuanzhang's love for his children, and while he had high hopes for them, he was also doing his best to ensure their safety.

The old man seemed to be planning to completely stabilize the situation here before letting his sons come to guard it.

Ah.

This old man is really interesting, he is worthy of being a patriarchal emperor, and he has some small peasant thoughts in his temper.

However, Zhen Wu quite sympathized.

Speaking of which, Zhen Wu is not the kind of person who is trying his best to make a fortune, isn't it just to leave something that can be passed on to his family or future generations.

……

When Zhen Wu returned to the inn.

Zhen Wu was shocked by the sight in front of him.

Such a long caravan, how much goods does this have? !
Zhen Wu gasped.

If he remembers correctly, it is now forbidden to trade with various Mongolian ministries. Because of the hostile situation with Mongolia, an economic blockade is being imposed on Mongolia, and the Mongolian ministries that have withdrawn from the Central Plains are extremely dependent on the economy and materials of the Ming Dynasty. Even if this economic blockade is weakened Without the power of Mongolia, it can effectively restrain the development of Mongolia.

This is too bold.

In Zhen Wu's mind, some people put their heads on their waistbands and set up a small caravan to smuggle some goods. This situation should never be eliminated, but such a large caravan never occurred to Zhen Wu.

The innkeeper on the side was also watching, and couldn't help sighing enviously at this moment.

Zhen Wu rolled his eyes, walked over, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you have such a big inn, why do you still envy other people's caravans?"

"Hey, how can you not be envious. If someone comes here and will work for me for ten years, no one will be envious."

Zhen Wu said happily: "If you want to say that, then you won't be able to work hard like us for a lifetime?"

"Don't tell me. Guess how much money they can earn in one trip? Earn at both ends. You won't believe it when you tell me."

The shopkeeper is usually a talkative person, so he chatted with Zhen Wu after a few clicks.

Afterwards, the two of you said something to each other and I said something to each other. After a while, the conversation became lively.

While chatting, Zhen Wu changed the subject and asked in a low voice, "Do you know whose family this belongs to? How dare you do that."

The apostle's eyes swept around, and said in the same low voice: "There is someone behind him. I heard that the backstage is Commander Zhang Quan."

"Even the commander can't do this, so no one cares?"

"We ordinary people definitely can't control it." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper paused, looked around again, and then waved to Zhen Wu, asking Zhen Wu to come closer, and waited until Zhen Wu handed over his ear , the shopkeeper whispered again: "I'll tell you another thing, I heard that the steward of this caravan seems to be from Liangguo's mansion."

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper raised his chin at Zhen Wu. Zhen Wu understood what the shopkeeper meant, and asked Zhen Wu how he was, and whether he had enough background.

Zhen Wu nodded his head, said oh, and then turned to look at the caravan.

This background is indeed big enough.

Speaking of which, this Liaodong was brought down by Lan Yu following Feng Sheng
