The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 491 The Last Battle

The bigger the territory, the fewer soldiers.

The first town covers the entire grassland, with the wide Liaohe River at its feet, Horqin grassland, and Khalkha grassland.

When I was still in Shenyang, I had more than ten thousand soldiers in my hands.Now that they have moved out, there are thousands of miles of land, but the strength of the army has dropped.

In the entire first town, there are currently only four thousand soldiers.

Among the 1000 soldiers, less than [-] were from the Jinjiang Army, and the rest came from various ethnic groups, good and bad.

According to the people left behind by Beizhen and Jia Jian, and inquiring about the news, all the ministries in Khalkha tended to be stable in general, except for the Nianhua tribe.

Therefore, the first town is in the Horqin Grassland, adopting a joint operation mode, and usually does not maintain too many troops, leaving only the strong.

A saved military salary can support elite soldiers, and Jinzhou does not give too much food and salary.

The second can be regarded as a response to Obama and others.

After all, Jinzhou has too many soldiers in the grassland, and many people can't sleep peacefully at night.

Including Liaoxi and Beizhen.

Next, it is time for the court to worry. What if Jinzhou unites with Horqin and annexes the Khalkha Grassland.

Although there seems to be no sign of Jinzhou, does the court dare to bet?

Even if Jinzhou is still the old rules, continue to show loyalty to the court, ask for food and military pay, etc., and maintain the appearance of an ordinary military town.

In short, Jinzhou has made a lot of moves, and the court also pretended that Jinzhou was still one of the nine major military towns of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The reason for this is very complicated. The heat should not be too high or too low.

Anyway.

Both sides are playing.

But people are also weird.

Does Marquis Ping Liao really have no ambitions?
If anyone has his current strength, it is inevitable that he will have a desire to do something wrong.

But Marquis Ping Liao really doesn't look like a rioter.

He made the appearance of disarmament several times, as if sincerely, to develop the economy in Liaodong and reduce the burden on the people.

What kind of person is Tang Qing'an?

Liu Chengmin turned a deaf ear to the controversy from the outside world, and started his work in an orderly manner.

According to the eldest brother, the next few years will be the most favorable years for Liaodong in general.

It is to take advantage of such an opportunity to intensify the use of people's power to rapidly expand the territory of Jinjiang Town, or to accumulate people's power and recuperate the troops, so that people can take a breather.

The eldest brother chose the latter.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Jinzhou Town's big rest in the next three years is also very important. We can't just see the slowing down of the pace, but not the potential for development.

The entire Far East is being reclaimed.

There are 700 million Han people, nearly a million people of all ethnic groups, and a total of nearly 800 million people, living on a land of thousands of miles.

Cutting down forests, leveling land, digging ditches, building water conservancy, and reclaiming acres of land.

On the land of the Changbai Mountains, hundreds of years of war ended.

There are invincible players around Golden State, no matter which direction it is, it seems that there is not much threat at present.

Liu Chengmin actually wanted to go to Fourth Army Town.

Regardless of the fact that the First Army Town where he is located is famous, it is actually not as good as the Fourth Army Town.

The Fourth Army Town traveled overseas, not to mention that the Ryukyu Kingdom supplied the army with food and grass, and Jeju Island alone was enough to supply the Fourth Army Town.

Food does not need to start from Liaodong, and the main island of Jeju Island can supply the Fourth Army Town.

Not to mention maritime trade.

There are countless ships arriving at Jeju Island to participate in maritime trade, because the government of Jeju Island has been working hard all year round, and they are used to using grain as ballast.

So far, this item can bring hundreds of thousands of shi of grain every year.

In history, North Korea also smuggled grain from Japan every year. Even though the Japanese people could not eat enough and were suffering from famine, this did not prevent the local dignitaries from selling the grain in exchange for luxury goods.

But the number is not many, and the highest total is no more than ten thousand stones.

Therefore, the grain of hundreds of thousands of shi in Jeju Island every year is indeed a great thing.

As long as the sea trade of Jeju Island is not affected, there will be no shortage of food, and the Fourth Army Town can maintain tens of thousands of soldiers without using the financial resources and manpower of Liaodong.

As the largest island in North Korea, Jeju Island is indeed very useful.

Backed by Jeju Island, the fourth military town of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the degree of freedom is very high.

But the First Army Town can't do it.

All supplies are still inseparable from Golden State.

And Liu Chengmin knew the goal of the fourth army town.

Divide Japan.

The biggest goal is Kyushu Island.

It is equivalent to [-] islands as large as Jeju Island.

In a sense, the Fourth Army Town is doing a major event that must be recorded in history.

Liu Chengmin is the second younger brother of Ping Liaohou, the most trusted general in Jinzhou, and the pillar of Jinjiang Town.

There are really not many things that can tempt him.

The fourth army town is what makes Liu Chengmin tempted.

pity.

The elder brother arranged for him to be in the first army town.

Who let me marry a lady from Jinxiang Hou's family?

Putting myself in the first army town can also win over the Jinxiang Hou Mansion.

Riding on the horse, Liu Chengmin led his bodyguards to patrol the various places.

Some places already have the prototype of a town, and some places are still scattered in the form of a village, because Jinzhou supplies ironware, farm tools, and grain seeds.

Although there is still a shortage of farm cattle, Jinzhou didn't come here like this before.

Compared with Jinzhou and other islands seven or eight years ago, the starting point of Liaohetao has been much better.

Even in the Guan, not all households have farming cattle, and there are still many farmers who regard themselves as farming cattle.

"You manage well here."

Liu Chengmin was in the Zhangwu area, looked at the new city in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

There are many rivers in Liaohetao, scattered into villages, and no big city was built because of the different geography.

"Garn the fields first, gather the population, wait until the food is sufficient, and the needs of the people will increase, and finally build a big city."

When Feng Shengzhi heard Liu Chengmin's words, although he was full of joy, he still spoke calmly and expressed his thoughts.

When selecting officials, the general asked him where he wanted to go.

After much deliberation, Feng Shengzhi decided to go to the First Army Town.

Apart from Liu Chengmin's place, no other place is suitable. His prestige is too high, and only Liu Chengmin can suppress him, so that people can feel at ease.

Although he didn't believe that the general would doubt him, Feng Shengzhi believed that he should be cautious, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Zhangwu area.

"It looks good so far. You can make arrangements according to the situation instead of sticking to the rules. Old Feng, you can just let it go and I will escort you."

Liu Chengmin said with a smile.

Feng Shengzhi didn't take it seriously, and pointed to a lumber yard, where there were piles of tall logs piled up in several places.

"Why did you send people to cut down these trees?"

There were very few big trees in the grassland, and there was rarely a small forest here, but Liu Chengmin sent people to cut it down.

"There are a lot of forests in this area. Even if it is for farmland, there is no need to cut down so many trees, and they don't need to be used as firewood. They are only used for building houses and beams. It is really a waste."

Liaohe Tao is half farming and half grazing.

After the dung of cattle and sheep is dried, it is a natural fuel, so there is no need for wood as firewood.

The big tree in front of him didn't know how many years it had grown. Seeing Liu Chengmin's wasteful behavior, Feng Shengzhi really couldn't help complaining about him.

Liu Chengmin smiled and finally explained to Feng Shengzhi.

"Since we are building a city here, we don't need to keep the woods for firewood, so I cut down all the woods, so as not to fall into the enemy's hands in the future and become the enemy's use for manufacturing engineering tools."

"This……"

Hearing this, Feng Shengzhi smiled wryly.

"Greetings, General Liu."

"Just do your duty."

"Being conscientious is easy to say, but it's hard to do. If the officials in the court are all conscientious, how can I wait in this bitter cold place to live such a hard life."

Feng Shengzhi pointed to the people working in the distance.

"These people will not suffer a lot of harm. They are far away from home, endured grief, and came here to resettle their homes."

Immigrants from Fujian, immigrants from Shandong, even Jinling, which is the wealthiest city in the world, have many refugees.

As the fame of Liaodong spread, many refugees flocked to Liaodong.

The people here who use work as relief are immigrated from Shandong.

The rest of the officials saw that the Temperance Envoy and the Town Envoy were talking about it, and they all raised their mouths, echoing the words of the two civil and military officials.

"Work hard and wait to see your results next year."

Liu Chengmin laughed.

Development needs to rely on officials, he is only responsible for maintaining the military.After bidding farewell to Feng Shengzhi and his group, he continued northward with his personal guards to meet Auba.

No matter how fast or slow, all places in Liaohetao are developing. Encouraging along the way, listening to difficulties, giving advice, stopping and going, it took a month to arrive in Horqin.

Originally, he wanted to enter Khalkha next to Horqin to inquire about Nianhua himself.

As a result, no matter whether it was the personal guards, Oba who came later, or the local grassland leaders, they all disagreed, so Liu Chengmin gave up.

The crowd gathered together, singing and dancing.

"Why hasn't Nianhua moved yet?"

Liu Chengmin stayed on the prairie for several years, and he can speak prairie dialect very fluently, and he doesn't even need to bring a translator when he travels.

Many of the leaders on the grassland can also speak Chinese.

"I heard that Nianhua is still in contact with Lin Danhan."

"It's been a few months and it hasn't been settled yet?"

Yoo Seung Min couldn't believe it.

It was originally a confidential and important matter, but it has been unable to decide for a long time. No wonder Nianhua can't achieve much success.

"Do you think Lin Danhan will accept Nianhua's contact?"

"not sure."

With the establishment of Jinjiang Town in Liaodong, it has become an undisputed overlord.

Horqin, his companions, etc., have all surrendered to Jinzhou.

The Khalkha ministries are not blind.

Many tribes had already cooperated with Jinzhou, and even the leader of the five tribes, Zaisai, chose Jinzhou in private.

In fact, the North Town of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jinxiang Hou Mansion also chose Jinzhou.

Therefore, just like in history, Nianhua, who had lost all hope, not only did not choose to submit to Houjin, but was preparing to launch the final attack.

Now changed to Jinzhou, Nianhua made the same choice.

"Actually, I hope that Nianhua can let go of her prejudices."

Liu Chengmin laughed.

Everyone was stunned for a while.

"Many people secretly asked me how they would treat Nianhua. It can be seen that there are still many people who care about Nianhua."

"Nianhua is an old man. Many people here have heard of Nianhua's name when they were young."

Xianha said.

This time, not only people from Horqin, but also people from the Kers tribe, Guima tribe, Baochiku tribe, etc. came.

"Marquis Ping Liao once met with Nianhua, and took the initiative to send someone to contact him, willing to discuss with him in person, but was rejected by Nianhua."

When everyone heard the news for the first time, they showed astonished expressions.

Liu Chengmin said bitterly.

"Everyone in my Jinjiang town was furious about this matter, and they all made a fuss to lead the army and suppress the Nianhua Department, thinking that they would be ashamed of the Marquis of Liao."

"Nianhua is too inappropriate, how can I refuse Ping Liaohou's kindness."

Chiha said dissatisfied.

Wouldn't it be too compelling to even talk about it?

Although there is a reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but since Marquis Ping Liao became the overlord of one party, he has indeed treated everyone equally and acted fairly, which is very popular.

That being the case, they didn't have any hesitation, and they all chose to gather under the banner of Golden State.

Although they didn't want to end up with a bad ending, this person ignored people's hearts and insisted on starting a war, so they couldn't allow them to help Jinzhou.

"Before I came, Marquis Pingliao had already said that he was willing to maintain the status quo of the Khalkha Grassland, unless Nianhua must provoke a war."

After hearing Liu Chengmin's words, Auba disagreed.

This person helps Lin Danhan, that is Horqin's enemy.

He can't care about the reputation of Nianhua. After all, on the day Lin Danhan returns, he will either defeat Lin Danhan or be defeated.

"Sometimes you can't make people feel too easy to bully, otherwise, it will easily cause others to peep."

Yoo Seung Min was noncommittal to Obama's words.

Talk and go.

Golden State is strong right now.

There are [-] elite veterans who are recuperating in the mainland, and there are tens of thousands of newly reorganized troops outside, plus soldiers who can be recruited at any time.

The current Golden State is not afraid of any challenges.

Whoever causes trouble will die.

Even if they want to defeat Nianhua in the end, they have to sit until all the ministries have nothing to say.

This is how to convince the public.

A few days later, at the edge of the Ujijite pasture, several people wearing thick grassland robes and thick felt hats met quietly.

The dark clouds are gloomy, which is the weather for discussing conspiracy.

Several prairie horses were panting heavily, and the white gas was exhaled from the thick nose of the horses, which showed that they had run a long distance. The flag of Chahar was hung on the horses' backs.

"Doesn't Lin Danhan support Nianhua?"

The cold wind blew past, and the grassland was like waves on the sea, emitting green ripples, and people looked worried.

"Since you have contacted us, we will definitely help, but now Dahan is still unable to spare, so Nianhua should wait patiently."

"Ugh."

The warriors on one side sighed, and now it is imminent. Recently, many people from all over the country have been persuading Nianhua. I believe their news, Jinzhou has received it.

Up to now, it can only be desperate.

"Lin Danhan, what a disappointment."

Not getting the desired news, one party returned disappointed.

the third time.

Tang Qing'an wrote a personal letter to Nianhua, expressing his willingness to coexist peacefully and full of sincerity.

Zaisai, Nuantu, Zhong Nen, Sanggarqi, Bo Yaozi, Ebra Deyi.
The leaders of the five Khalkha tribes all came to persuade Nianhua.

The more so, the more Nianhua made up his mind to fight Jinzhou to the death.

Many people don't understand the idea of ​​Nianhua.

Even Hanbo Luoshi, the leader of the Harashen tribe, also came to persuade Nianhua.

With Jinzhou's current power, Nianhua's move is tantamount to asking for death.

But no one could persuade Nianhua.
