I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 220

Although the market reward system in the Ming Dynasty included three parts: mutual market, tribute, and yearly gift, it was actually mainly based on the tribute system, and the proportion of mutual market and yearly gift was relatively small.

Although this approach is fundamentally different from the humiliating old coins of the Song Dynasty, in the final analysis it is still spending money and food to buy peace.

Facts have proved that peace cannot be bought. Instead of spending the money and food to buy temporary peace, why not use it to train a strong army?

China has a large population, so as long as it dares to step forward, it is fully capable of scaring, subduing, and fleeing the grassland peoples to harm Europe!

Don't you think that was the end of the Huns back then?
Some time ago, Huang Yi and Geng Zhanghua literally ate and lived together, and of course they chatted freely.

Huang Yi's thoughts deeply influenced Geng Zhanghua.

Now he is full of ambitions and aspires to become a national hero like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Seeing that Li Weida was a little out of his mind, Geng Zhanghua comforted him:

"Don't worry, Huang Yi's analysis is very clear. Jiannu just launched a big war, and now he has to spend all his time dealing with Sun Dushi, and he has no time to look around for a year or two.

The Karakin Tartars suffered a great loss this time. They were originally a mess. They had no organization to build slaves or supervise the war. How could they dare to retaliate if they only wanted to protect themselves? "

Sun Chengzong is the teacher of Emperor Tianqi, with unparalleled character and official reputation, and high prestige. Li Weida admires this old man very much.

He said hopefully: "Well! The Karaqin Tatars were not very good in the first place, and now that they have lost nearly half of their strength, it is even more worrying.

I just don't know whether the battle in Liaodong can be reversed after Sun Dushi went to Liaodong. "

Geng Zhanghua shook his head and said: "Don't expect to turn defeat into victory, Huang Yi has analyzed it, and with the attitude of civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty to soldiers, the battle situation will only get worse.

Even Sun Dushi has the intention to kill the thief and is unable to recover! "

"That's really the case, so what should I do?"

"So we have to find ways to raise money, food and soldiers. The future court will have to rely on the Xuanda army in our hands."

"I understand, please rest assured, I will try my best to sell these heads for the highest price!"

"Then please do so!"

"It should be like this, general, don't be polite!"

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Geng Zhanghua and his entourage, who were besieged by travel and dust, entered the Xuan Mansion and rushed to Xingyuan, Governor Xuan.

Hundreds of people had just come down from the battlefield, and they were full of murderous looks. Although the officials along the way felt strange, no one stepped forward to question them.

Not to mention that no one dared to stop and check what was on the carriage.

To be honest, the old Geng has been sitting on pins and needles during this period of time!
Because Geng Zhangguang came back, Geng Zhanghua and the five hundred Tiejia servants were gone, and after asking, he found out that the kid had decided to go to war with the Karaqin Tartars together with Huang Yi.

After careful questioning, it turned out that the enemy not only had thousands of Karaqin cavalry, but also hundreds of Jurchens.

Geng Ruqi is not just worried about the safety of his son and son-in-law.

He is also worried that he will be impeached by the inspector censor because of the loss of soldiers due to unauthorized border quarrels.

Winning the king and defeating the enemy, if you win the battle, it is not a big deal to start arrogance, but if you lose, you will die, it will be a big deal.

The censor who has nothing to do but wants to find something to do, and I like to have big things in things.

Lao Geng is really upset these days.

So the guests at the big banquet didn't have the time to celebrate the eldest son Zhongju, and the post about the treat hasn't been sent yet.

However, the surprise came very quickly, Geng Dale happily reported that the third son, General Geng Zhanghua, had returned, the loss of troops was less than one hundred, and dozens of carts were captured.

Even though Geng Ruqi's Qi-nourishing skills had already been perfected, he couldn't help being excited, and quickly asked:

"What what? The third child is back? Where is he?"

"The general invites you to go and see what you have gained, and also ordered you not to make any noise."

Geng Ruqi walked towards the gate of Xingyuan and said, "Shouldn't you boast about your achievements with great fanfare? What's wrong?"

Geng Da chuckled and said, "The contribution this time is truly boundless!"

"What?" Geng Ruqi couldn't help but stop, wondering: "What kind of Dafa? The third child only brought 500 troops, so Huang Yi can gather a thousand cavalry capable of fighting.

Could it be that their gains will be greater than [-] levels? "

"I don't know the exact number, but it's definitely greater than [-]!"

If you ask around and ask what you are doing, it will be clear if you go and have a look.

Geng Ruqi walked like flying, and after a while, he saw the armored servants forming a big circle.

There is armor on the body, there is no need to kneel down, the servants only need to hold their fists together.

Geng Zhanghua stepped forward quickly and said, "Father! Long time no see, I miss you to death."

After he blurted it out, he felt something was wrong, this, this, this is Huang Yi's tone again, I was led badly by him.

Who knew that Geng Ruqi didn't mind at all, and actually smiled very happily, saying: "My son is really temperamental! I also think about it day and night, and I am just worried that you will make a mistake!"

"Thank you dad for caring!"

"How about Huang Yi? Is he not injured?"

"Okay! It's just that there are tens of thousands more people, and the food is unsustainable. I'm so worried."

"The population has increased by tens of thousands? How can there be so many?"

"With successive battles and victories, the sum of capture and capture will be enough."

"It's also very difficult for us to declare Dafa. There are too many hungry people waiting to be fed. How can we spend so much food? Can't he send some of those people away?"

"Most of those Han people were coerced out of the customs last year. It's freezing cold. Regardless of their food and shelter, they are left to fend for themselves. I'm afraid none of them will survive."

"It's so urgent! It seems that some food needs to be transferred urgently. But Xuan Da can only save the emergency for a while, and it can't last for a long time."

"Xuan Da's officials can help as much as they can, and you can figure out the rest in private!"

"Privately? What do you mean!"

"We have gained a lot this time!"

"How rich is it!"

"Look at those cars, they are all equipped with heads. There are 170 and eighth grades of real slaves, and more than [-] young and middle-aged Tartars!"

"So many? This credit is indeed boundless."

Geng Zhanghua also took out a memorial and presented it with both hands, saying:
"There is also a great credit! With a population of over [-] and [-] troops, the Hedan Bateer Department of Ujimqin has repeatedly rejected Houjin's threats and wins over.

Because I am grateful to the Governor Xuan for sending troops to support the Ministry to fight against the Jin Army, I pledge allegiance to my Daming on the above table. "

Geng Ruqi has been an official for decades, so of course he is familiar with deception, fraud and false reporting of credit.

He didn't think it just happened that such a large tribe expressed their allegiance to Daming, and he wondered, "Is this true?"

Geng Zhanghua affirmed: "There is really Hedan Bateer's department, which suffered huge losses in several fierce battles with Jiannu in the past few years, and had to migrate to the southwest.

Now the department's grazing land is about three or four hundred miles away from Xuanda's Zhangjiakou side wall.

Huang Yi and I joined hands to send troops to rescue the Ministry! "
