I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 222

Geng Zhanghua, who has been invincible during this period of time, is full of high spirits and high morale, full of confidence in the future, he said:

"As long as the right people are used, with the support of the entire Xuanda area, it may not be impossible to restore Xinghe Mansion!"

"Do you think Huang Yi can do it?"

"It must be him! But you have to be fully responsible for the defense of Zhangjiakou, including the [-]-mile border wall of Xuanfu. I have a team of armored cavalry who can fight hard."

Seeing his son's confidence, Lao Geng's eyes could not help but shine. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's see if Huang Yi can gain a firm foothold in the base area next year!"

"Does it count as standing if you can defend Xinghe City?"

"You can think so! But Xuan Da cannot be allowed to bear all the food and salaries of the soldiers and civilians.

It's not that I don't want to give it, but that the population on Huang Yi's side is already tens of thousands, and people need too much food to eat horses, so I can't give it, and I can't afford it! "

"I can understand, don't worry, Huang Yi said that as long as the soldiers' food and military supplies are fully paid, he can ensure that the base city is as solid as gold!"

Huang Yi's actual teaching is only the governor of Xuanda's pacesetter battalion, plus the defense of Dongshan Fort.

Geng Zhanghua has fought for Huang Yi as much as possible, and the total number of troops is only more than [-].

However, due to the special circumstances of stationing outside the side wall, instead of [-]% of the cavalry and [-]% of the infantry as in the Ming army, it was [-]-[-].

Don't underestimate the 800 men and horses. The military supplies, armor, and food are really paid according to the regulations. The annual consumption needs to be at least 5 taels in silver.

Geng Ruqi made up his mind to focus on supporting Huang Yi, and personally intervened in the distribution of food and salary, which would definitely reduce the drift.

I dare not say that the full amount is guaranteed, but it should be able to achieve the same.

He nodded and said: "Mmm! Mmm! It's good to have confidence!
But empty words are empty!This can only be proved through actual combat!
As long as Huang Yi can defend Xinghe City during the Jiannu attack, the pressure on Zhangjiakou will be relieved.

I dare to play the imperial court to regain my homeland for two hundred miles in a grand manner!

At that time, the emperor will decide whether to restore Xinghe Mansion, or reopen Kaipingwei and then set up Xinghe Palace. "

"If we can build a buffer zone of [-] miles outside the border wall, the defense of the whole Xuanda will be stabilized, the border residents and military households can farm the land with peace of mind, and increasing food production is no problem!

Make every effort to accumulate strength and strive to take the Hetao area! "

"Don't be so ambitious! Don't forget what happened to Zeng Mian, who was in the Jiajing Dynasty in "Please Recover Hetao Shu", and what happened to Xia Yan, the chief minister of the cabinet who supported Zeng Mian!"

This great injustice case was vindicated in the Longqing Dynasty. It can be said that everyone knows it. Of course Geng Zhanghua knew it, and suddenly felt that he had been poured a basin of cold water.

He couldn't help sighing, and said: "The imperial court doesn't think about making progress, and the dignitaries blindly indulge in sensual pleasures. No wonder Huang Yi is unwilling to enter the customs to be an official. It seems that he is ashamed to be with him!"

Seeing the disappointment on his son's face, Geng Ruqi said earnestly: "Remember, being able to guard the Xuan Mansion and the [-]-mile wall of Datong to prevent the Tartars from invading is the backbone of a country! Keeping your feet on the ground is the most important thing!"

The father and son chatted for a long time, but finally gave up because of Geng Zhanghua's stomach growling.

……

On the day Geng Zhanghua came back, Governor Xuan Xingyuan sent several messengers, the farthest ones went to Shanhaiguan and Yansui Town.

That night, the Geng's flower hall was full of joy and laughter, and the whole family was there.

Oh no!Not only the Geng family, but also a few guests who were not considered guests.

After grooming and changing into clean clothes, Geng Zhanghua was pestered by his two younger sisters asking this and that.

The old lady had already untied the knot in her heart, and she also asked questions with a smile.

From time to time, she looked at the three managers of the production team in the base area, and she was amazed.

The crew came to Xuanfu three days ago, and now they have built a stage and a huge yurt that can accommodate more than 500 people to watch the show.

Governor Xuanda attaches great importance to the play "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers", and specially arranged for the crew to set up a stage on the military parade square in front of the governor's walk.

Geng Ruqi, who has experienced ups and downs, is more stable and worried about making political mistakes.

He made a request that he must see the play for himself before the public performance began.

Zuo Fanglian, Ye Huiling, and Jiuer originally planned to rehearse before the performance to adapt to the new stage.

Since Governor Xuan Da brought a group of civil servants and military generals to watch the show, let's play a full set!

Because the theater was right in front of the house, the old lady also went, and even Geng Zhangguang, who was studying hard, happily took his wife and children to the theater!

Haven't seen a good show yet!Xuanda's civilian and military generals and their families began to marvel at the huge yurt that could accommodate more than [-] spectators.

When they entered the yurt, they immediately felt warm inside, and immediately became interested, and they all began to look for heat sources.

Soon every few steps they found briquette stoves surrounded by wooden screens.

Of course, these briquette stoves are ventilated with iron chimneys, which will not cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

The stage effect is very good, and the sound insulation effect of the yurt, which is mainly made of felt, is also very good, and the performance effect is excellent.

Facts have proved that a good play can travel through time and space. Several classic arias from later generations immediately conquered most of the audience, even Geng Ruqi was mesmerized by it!

After the big play ended, Geng Ruqi rewarded the crew, and the old lady invited the three crew members to come to their house for a dinner the next day.

She was willing to invite them to her home to chat about anecdotes about the base area because the three managers were all women, and they all looked educated and courteous.

Unexpectedly, the youngest Geng Zhanghua came back and brought back the good news of a complete victory, but he kept secret about this victory.

Geng Yueru and Geng Yueling were very happy when they learned that Huang Yi had killed Tartars and Jiannu heads again with Lien Zhan Lianjie, and they couldn't stop asking for details.

This time, Geng Zhanghua watched Huang Yi's rampage with his own eyes through the binoculars.

He described the situation at that time in detail, and scolded Huang Yi for not knowing life and death, not knowing the depth, not knowing that his heart was raised in his throat.

Swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield, if Huang Yi dies in battle, how will he face his two little sisters.

Geng Yueling was fine, but felt that Huang Yi was full of heroism, and didn't realize that heroes would die in battle, so he couldn't stop giggling.

Geng Yueru was different, she was so nervous that she couldn't laugh at all.

Zuo Fanglian, Ye Huiling, and Xiao Jiu had already accepted their fate, and felt that since they followed Huang Yi, they had a place of peace of mind.

They like the atmosphere in the base area, they are willing to do things for Huang Yi, and they look forward to doing such shameful things for Huang Yi, but unfortunately they haven't looked forward to it so far!

Arranging plays is their specialty, and it can also be said to be their specialty, so the drama "The Magnificent Mountains and Rivers" has devoted their efforts.

If this play can really be worth tens of thousands of soldiers as Huang Yi said after it is performed in Guannei, they will definitely be encouraged and feel that this life is not in vain!

Oh no!Whether it can be worth tens of thousands of troops is impossible to prove. Huang Yi thinks that the crew can make a lot of money and it can be practiced immediately.
