The Red House starts from Liaodong

under the sun.

A new-style four-wheeled carriage from Jinzhou is driving on the newly repaired straight road from Gaizhou to Jinzhou.

Over the years, Jinjiang Town has devoted most of its energy to civil affairs.

The water conservancy project is the most important thing, and it is the one that puts the most effort and uses countless people's power.

Xie Youcheng rushed over from the rear, along with officers from the military division.

Everyone returned from Yingkou.

He and Tang Qing'an shared this four-wheeled carriage. There were only two people in the carriage.

"The general's trip was too reckless."

Everyone opposed his previous behavior from top to bottom, and Tang Qing'an readily accepted it.

Lying lazily in the cushioned compartment chair, through the window of the compartment, one can see the bright yellow fields on both sides of the straight road.

"so good."

Hearing the general's sigh, Xie Youcheng followed the general's line of sight and also saw the fields on both sides of the road.

Can't help showing a smile.

world.

There is nothing more delightful than this, the endless farmland that is about to mature.

Many of the farmers in the farmland were conscripted as civilian husbands. Some of them recognized the flags in the team, and some of them kowtowed to the carriage on the ridge of the field.

The general did not order, and the team did not stop because of it.

The original more than [-] personal guards brought back from Yingkou the young generals sent by the personal guard camp to support Yingkou. The team of nearly a thousand people extended a long line.

The barbarian army has already withdrawn, so they don't have to stay on the front line.

These young-faced disciples are riding on the war horses provided by Jeju Island, and each face is full of confidence.

Different from the domineering and philistine faces of domestic hereditary generals, they are full of vigor.

Tang Qing'an is 25 years old.

For the leader of a faction, he is very young.

But his heart is full of vicissitudes.

When a person lives long enough, he will gradually become interested in most things in the world, because he is already bored.

For example Xiaogan.

Even a dragonfly flying in front of him can make a young child happy for a long time.

Tang Qing'an saw the young generals surrounding the carriage, and felt the youthful vitality from them.

"so good."

Xie Youcheng also saw Li Rujing, and made a face at him outside the carriage.

"Ha ha."

Xie Youcheng laughed angrily at Li Rujing's actions.

"It's been seven years, and the current situation is really amazing."

Xie Youcheng felt the four-wheeled carriage on the straight road so smoothly that no one could feel the shaking, and a few exclamations from the general also aroused emotions.

these years.

Jinjiang Town is indeed not easy.

It is necessary to fight wars and take care of the people's livelihood. It is also necessary to deal with the court and mobilize North Korea, not just generals.

Both civil and military people in Jinjiang Town are full of pride.

The straight road from Zhenjiang to Lushun was built, and the mountain road was built from Fengcheng and Xiuyan. Although it made a big circle, it was not like before.

Then there is the newest road under your feet, from Jinzhou to Yingkou.

One city after another was built.

On Civil Affairs.

Xie Youcheng can boast for the officials of Jinjiang Town that they are second to none in the world.

The merits of the officials of Jinjiang Town are not weaker than those of generals.

"Next year I will fight the barbarians!"

Xie Youcheng turned around in shock.

He knew that the general had always wanted to recover Liaodong, but when he really heard this sentence, he still felt incredible.

Before the general went to sea, even the first few years.

Who dares to take the initiative to say that he wants to fight the barbarians?At that time, people in Liaodong panicked, and they all felt that there was no end.

Does Jinjiang Town have the strength to fight the barbarians decisively?

Xie Youcheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to measure his own strength.

It's the day of the decisive battle.

The barbarians themselves, together with the surrendered Mongolia, could gather an army of 20.

As an attacker, unlike the barbarians who waited for work at ease, Jinjiang Town could draw out [-] elite soldiers, only in terms of the number of the two armies.

Jinjiang Town is completely below.

Of course, Jin Jiangzhen can also choose to smoke, and he can also recruit the North Korean army.

Jinjiang Town's military strength can resist the barbarian bannermen.

The Korean army is weaker than the Mongolian cavalry, and also weaker than the Han army in the barbarian Eight Banners.

The people in Jinjiang Town are all farmers, without long-term training, they can't beat the man who was born in the old forest and is good at shooting.

And based on his understanding of the general, the general would not send the people to the battlefield to fill them with their lives.

"Is it too early?"

Xie Youcheng felt that he could continue to wait for a few more years.

Of course Tang Qing'an also wanted to wait.

But he couldn't wait.

If the situation does not exceed his expectations, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty will become more and more difficult, not for a few years, even if there is still trust between the two sides.

The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty will also be unable to supply Jinjiang Town's military pay and food.

It is a bit difficult to rely on the 300 million people in Jinjiang Town to support [-] field troops.

Even with the addition of the business from Jinling to Lushun every year, and the business from Jeju Island.

One hundred thousand field troops.

The annual military salary is 180 million taels, and the food salary is 60 shi, not including the food during the war and so on.

In addition, there are folk husbands, fodder for war horses, etc.

Dazhou can supply 20 to [-] field troops, but it is difficult for Jinjiang Town to supply.

In the history of the galleon trade, in the peak year, the trade was only 300 million taels of silver a year, not tax money.

So I can only take advantage of these two years, Da Zhou still has his breath.

Relying on the lack of trust between the two sides, the needed supplies can be squeezed out from Dazhou for the reason of attacking the barbarians.

As well as the reinforcements in Dazhou, there are still three thousand nails on the broken ship, and there is always an army that can fight.

Such as Zhejiang soldiers, such as Sichuan soldiers, such as Shanxi hairy gourd soldiers and so on.

People's livelihood in North Korea is becoming more and more difficult, and its national strength is also declining.

Go ahead and wait.

Jinjiang Town didn't get an advantage.

"Civil unrest."

After hearing the general's worries, Xie Youcheng thought that the civil unrest would drag down Dazhou. He didn't know whether to believe it, but the general thought so.

Then he understood why the general had the idea of ​​fighting the barbarians next year.

"The existence of the barbarians has dragged me down a bit."

Tang Qing'an said something that Xie Youcheng didn't understand, and the general didn't explain it to him in detail.

The existence of the barbarians made Tang Qing'an unable to do anything.

There are [-] troops in the sky, and they can only be spent in Liaodong.

Tang Qing'an didn't dare to send a single soldier overseas unless he dealt with the barbarians beside him.

Xie Youcheng is the mind of the military commander, so he must understand the plan for next year in order to adjust the military commander's plan.

North Korea.

Tao Jie and Liu Xingzuo, the clippers from Jinzhou, stayed on the Han River. They checked the official letter from the visitor, but they were all at a loss.

Two people, one civil and one military, stayed in North Korea. How could they both return to China temporarily?

I asked the person who came, but the person couldn't tell why, saying that it was the request of the military commander, and asked the two to go back to their duties.

This is getting more and more incomprehensible.

The military commander's request for Liu Xingzuo is still reasonable, and he is not under the supervision of the military commander, so how can he let himself go back to his job.

Tao Jie was more cautious, asking the man over and over again, but the man couldn't evade in the end.

"I heard that it seems to be the general's request. I really don't know what the situation is."

Seeing the man in such a difficult situation, Tao Jie thought about it, and agreed to return to the country with Liu Xingzuo.

Not long after the two returned to Jinzhou, they were summoned by someone sent by the general.

Not only them, but even Feng Shengzhi, Gu Yingshi and others who went to inspect various places to prepare for the autumn harvest were recruited back.

Jiedu Mansion of Jinjiang Town.

Civil officials Xie Youcheng, Feng Shengzhi, Gu Yingshi, Li Chengxian, Zhu Wen, Gu Daochu, Jia Jian, Tao Kai, Tao Jie.

Military attache Liu Chengmin, Wu Zhenmeng, Zhu Xiu, Peng Dahai, Li Bosheng, Chen Kaiwu, Liu Xingzuo.

With such a high standard, everyone knew that there must be important matters to be discussed.

"Attack the barbarians next June."

The top-secret meeting, the guards stationed outside the door, all scattered far away.

Although they were prepared, everyone felt the pressure in their hearts when they heard what the general said.

They are not afraid of the barbarians, but they think that it will be a little difficult to attack the barbarians next year.

Xie Youcheng, as the commander of the army, began to explain the possible situation in the next few years to everyone.

Finally tell everyone.

Next year and even the year after will be the most favorable time, otherwise Jin Jiangzhen may be unable to do so in the future.

Everyone was not familiar with the domestic situation, and most of them couldn't believe it when they heard Xie Youcheng's announcement.

How could Da Zhou be so unbearable, being dragged into the sinking abyss by the civil unrest.

"No matter how big the week is, but with our current situation, next year or two is indeed the most suitable time.

Because Dazhou will start to suppress us, it is better to let Dazhou temporarily support us for the sake of peace and barbarism, as the military commander said. "

On the other hand, Gu Yingshi thought of it, and everyone felt that this reason was true.

"The three rebel armies in North Korea and the [-] soldiers stationed in Zhenjiang have some combat effectiveness, and the rest of the guard army is useless.

But next year North Korea will still send [-] troops to join forces with the Kim Jiang Army.

This matter was handed over to Tao Jie and Liu Xingzuo, who went to negotiate with the North Korean king and the two classes of nobles to solve the barbarians.

Whether it is Jinjiang Town or North Korea, they can breathe a sigh of relief and restore people's livelihood. "

Hearing the figure of [-], Tao Jie and Liu Xingzuo looked at each other, but neither dared to agree.

Although North Korea has more than [-] million people, the people's livelihood is difficult. How can they spare [-] soldiers? The general's request is too embarrassing.

"North Korea must send out troops. Jin Jiangzhen must not make sacrifices in this matter."

The general has always been fussy about these things, and he must be very petty.

People who are used to being in the country have also been used to the general over the years.

"I will go to the imperial court to request not only the mobilization of supplies, but also the deployment of elite domestic troops for next year's suppression of the barbarians.

I don't think the imperial court will refuse, but would rather be willing to consume the strength of my Jinjiang town on the barbarians. "

It's really not that difficult.

With the general's domestic relationship and heel, if you beat the side drum, it is very likely to be done.

It's not easy to get things done in North Korea.

"I'm afraid that the imperial court's news will not be kept secret. The general's memorandum has just arrived at the imperial court, and the barbarians soon learned about it."

Someone worried.

"There are so many troops gathered, and there are so many people's food and grass, even if the court can keep it secret, the barbarians will be wary."

"In short, there will still be an impact. If the barbarians know less about it, we will take advantage of it."

Everyone began to discuss the plan to attack the barbarians next year. You said the same thing as me, and even started arguing.

They were obviously weaker than the barbarians in terms of strength, but they didn't see any fear on their faces.

The previous worries can only show that everyone is cautious in doing things.
