The Red House starts from Liaodong

Where did Nianhua go?

Many people are concerned.

Some people said that he died and was buried under the grass. After being trampled by horses, the cemetery could not be found.Others said that a sky burial was performed.

Actually disappearing is the best news,

Really caught Nianhua, but made everyone feel embarrassed.

Even Tang Qing'an had the same idea.

The First Army Town successfully defeated Nianhua, but the fly in the ointment was that no trace of this person was found. Regarding Liu Chengmin's good news, Tang Qing'an smiled, but actually did not criticize him.

Now Liaodong has lost another layer of restraint and can develop with all its strength.

Don't underestimate this.

In Liaodong for hundreds of years, because of the endless wars, even though the territory is extremely wide, it has not played the role of a granary.

Grasslands, forests, mountains, rivers, plains, hills, basins...

Today's Jinjiang Town is rich in products and rich in land and resources.

The north controls Mongolia, which is thousands of miles away, the south controls North Korea with a population of tens of millions, the east governs the boundless Nuergansi, and the west relies on the endless resources of Dazhou.

In the original history, didn't Hou Jin rely on the geographical advantages of Liaodong to finally steal the world.

Although there were natural disasters during the Little Ice Age, Liaodong is big and has abundant water resources.

Facing such Jinjiang Town, Nuantu took Zai Sai and waited for Taiji, and broke into the Jinjiang Army's barracks again, but his attitude was very polite.

Liu Chengmin couldn't avoid it, so he had no choice but to come out to greet everyone.

"If General Liu catches Nianhua, please don't treat him harshly. We are willing to redeem Nianhua with ten times the gold."

After listening to Nuantu's request, Liu Chengmin smiled wryly.

"I really didn't catch Nianhua, and I don't know where he fled, and I didn't send anyone to search for him."

Although Liu Chengmin tried his best to explain, people still felt suspicious.

Facing everyone's distrust, Liu Chengmin also felt aggrieved.

It is an anecdote throughout the ages that one has won a battle, but has to worry about the defeated.

Although dissatisfied in his heart, Liu Chengmin still held a banquet politely and entertained everyone.

By night.

On the way everyone left, Zai Sai said with certainty: "General Liu is not lying."

"I've known for a long time that he wasn't lying. In the past few days, I sent people to watch his camp, and indeed I didn't send a large force to search for Nianhua."

"Then why?"

Zaisi asked curiously.

"One is to protect Nianhua, and the other is, you come and see me a lot, and the relationship will become deep without knowing it."

After listening to Nuantu's words, Zai Sai was full of admiration.

Uncle is still uncle.

As the Han people say, ginger is still hot when it is old.

……

After sending Nuantu and the others away, Liu Chengmin didn't go to rest.

This battle came and went quickly, but it was a lot of consumption.

Whether it is the supply of its own [-] soldiers or the supplies for the Khalkha Grassland, Shenyang needs to send it in a steady stream.

Don't mention what Bai Rizai said, what is the ransom ten times the weight of Nianhua's body.

The daily consumption of the first town alone is more than this.

So Yoo Seung Min is very busy.

The aftermath is more cumbersome and meticulous than the work before the war, and it is more exhausting.

As the military commander said.

The more materials that are scattered today, the deeper the foundation of Jinjiang Town on the grassland will be in the future.

After Nianhua's defeat in the Battle of Nianhua, there was no longer any opposition to Jinjiang Town in the Khalkha Grassland.

How to govern the Khalkha Grassland has become the most important matter at the moment. If the immediate matter is not handled well, then this battle will be in vain.

Qianming defeated Annan's local forces and finally regained Annan, but lost Annan not long after.

It is precisely because the aftermath work was not done well.

So obviously they won the battle, but in the end they did useless work and wasted countless materials in vain.

The same goes for the rest.

History has proved that winning battles alone cannot solve problems.

Soldiers are humans not gods.

Failure to keep the victory won by the soldiers is the greatest failure.

Jin Jiangzhen attaches great importance to post-war work.

It is precisely because of this top-to-bottom management system that no matter which direction Jinjiang Town goes, it can quickly save up.

For example, Hamgyong Road, Ping An Road.

Not only did the two roads fail to become a place that continuously supplies blood to Jinzhou, but instead fed back to Jinzhou itself, forming a virtuous circle.

otherwise.

Two hundreds of thousands of North Koreans, the energy expended on them alone can drag down Jinzhou.Not to mention beside him, there is North Korea who secretly misses the two.

~~~~~~
West Liaoning.

King Zhongshun sent someone to contact Beizhen.

The young lady of Jinxiang Hou's family married the general soldier of Jinjiang Town, the sworn brother of Ping Liaohou. Since then, King Zhongshun no longer trusts Jinxiang Hou's mansion.

But the current situation is not in control.

No one would think that the Jinjiang army was defeated, but no one would have thought that the war would end so quickly.

Like a joke.

The Jinjiang army has come, the Jinjiang army has fought, and the Jinjiang army has won.

No matter how much friendship I have with the Khalkha tribes on weekdays, it can't make King Zhongshun feel at ease.In addition, there is also a Beizhen in the head of Western Liaoning that deliberately dials.

No matter how he thought about it, King Zhongshun couldn't sleep well.

Seeing the officials sent by King Zhongshun, Li Changsong's expression remained normal, as if there was nothing unexpected.

After returning to his own mansion, he asked the housekeeper to send cronies to the grassland for several days to inform his brother-in-law who was on the Khalkha grassland.

King Zhongshun is quietly hooking up around, telling his brother-in-law to be careful.

"King Zhongshun doesn't have the guts to provoke Jinjiang Town."

The loyal old butler said exactly.

Li Changsong did not object to the old housekeeper's words.

The domestic situation is changing too fast.

With the resurgence of the rioters, it became more and more violent.In addition, Jinjiang Town has become stronger year after year, and no one with a discerning eye will voluntarily give up the line of Jinjiang Town.

At least in the land of Liaodong, no one would offend Marquis Ping Liao.

Marquis Ping Liao did not rebel.

Holding high the banner of the Great Zhou is deeply in line with the wishes of the nobles in the country.

Only the identity of King Zhongshun, who is the emperor's uncle after all, would put Marquis Ping Liao in the position of an enemy.

last month.

The ministries of the refugee army aggressively attacked Sichuan and captured Chongqing. Since then, the rioters have moved to five provinces.

This is also the reason why the imperial court has been reluctant to respond to Jinzhou so far.

The battle in Jinjiang Town can be said to be big or small, and one who is good at starting a war can't escape, but no one said it.

Instead, the court advised King Zhongshun not to move.

King Zhongshun, who has the worst temper, chose to send someone to appease him. What does that mean?It means he is afraid.

A few years ago, I tried and tested Jinzhou, but now I dare not even ask.

Thinking of the grievance and anger of being bullied by King Zhongshun back then, Li Changsong felt happy.

And speak your mind.

Even if Jinjiang Town really rebelled, Li Changsong couldn't predict what would happen in the country, but the entire Liaodong.

Including Beizhen and Liaoxi, they are definitely in Jinjiang Town's pocket.

As for whether Shanhaiguan can be defeated.

Li Changsong was not too sure.

After all, it is the most powerful pass in the world, beyond human reach.

If there are no factors other than the battlefield, it is indeed not easy to capture Shanhaiguan with pure troops.

Even if the Jinjiang Army's artillery is sharp.

But even if the Jinjiang army can't attack Shanhaiguan, it can still occupy Liaodong, Nuergansi, grassland, and North Korea.

With the strength of the Jinjiang Army, the imperial court will absolutely not be able to shake Marquis Ping Liao's dominance in Liaodong, and will only lose troops and generals.

From all aspects, the imperial court's losses in Liaodong were too great, and the gains outweighed the losses, and they were unable to stabilize Liaodong at the moment.

After all, the chaos in the country is enough for the court to drink a pot.

Unless the imperial court has [-] elite soldiers.

Does the imperial court have [-] elite soldiers?

I'm afraid not.

It's not that the imperial court didn't have so many soldiers, but that it was powerless.

At present, his own strength is only [-] troops, and [-] troops are still in the hands of King Zhongshun. More importantly, the soldiers are not uniform.

Since he got a batch of weapons and armor last time, the second supply has not yet arrived. King Zhongshun told him that he had no choice.

The tens of thousands of soldiers in western Liaoning so far lack horses, armour, and weapons, and are unable to support Beizhen.

After all, the first goal is not to lose in western Liaoning.

Li Changsong scoffed at King Zhongshun's statement.

"We, Bei Zhen, will stand in the front. Of course, he doesn't need to provoke Jin Jiang Zhen."

"There is no such reason in the world that you want the horse to run and not let the horse eat grass. If you don't give Beizhen soldiers, you can't blame Beizhen for befriending the Jinjiang army."

The in-laws of the Jinxiang Hou Mansion and Liu Chengmin, the general of the Jinjiang Army, had a censor who wrote about the impeachment, and of course it came from the mouth of King Zhongshun.

This incident caused a lot of passiveness to the Jinxiang Hou Mansion, and gradually lost the emperor's trust.

Without the trust of the emperor, Beizhen lost its supply.

"Do you want to ask Jinjiang Town to help us with some food?"

The old housekeeper suggested.

When Li Changsong was struggling, two generals came and complained.

"Emissary Li, please send more food."

A military general was haggard with exhaustion on his face.

Li Changsong shook his head.

He knew the purpose of the two of them, they came to ask for food in the army.

The court couldn't get new supplies, so he could only choose to let the soldiers go hungry, and provide a meal of gruel a day to satisfy the people.

As for someone dying of malnutrition and illness, it is beyond his consideration.

There is only so much food, and he can't change it out of thin air. He must distribute food strictly according to the plan.

"Soldiers in the camp have two thin meals a day, and one meal of porridge and one meal of dry rice can be appropriately added, so that the soldiers can breathe."

Another general told his way.

Li Changsong sighed and shook his head.

There is less than [-] shi of grain in the camp treasury. If only [-] soldiers are needed, it will only be enough for a month.

There are also more than [-] military dependents in Beizhen, as well as livestock.

He had already begged King Zhongshun, but after getting no results, he asked for the relationship in the capital, but the distant water could not save the near fire.

There is only so much food, so it can only be arranged in this way.

"In that case, can envoy Li follow me to the porridge shed?"

The two generals wanted Jiedushi to go and see the plight of the soldiers in person.

Words can't move this person, maybe seeing the cruel reality changed Jiedushi's mind.

Li Changsong did not refuse this time.

The two are generals of Beizhen Jiedu Mansion for generations, and they are also his confidantes. No matter what, he will give them affection.

With a group of generals and seven or eight students.

Li Changsong had always respected scholars, and he ordered repeatedly and repeatedly that all soldiers should not treat scholars with disrespect, so the few clerks and staff, although they had no official position, had a high status.

The soldiers held up banners, and among the countless shacks of various colors, the common people gave way one after another.

last year.

Jinjiang Town has 700 million people and [-] elite soldiers.

One household counts only seven people, which is exactly 100 million households, and ten households support one soldier.

The ten families did not just provide soldiers with rations.

There are also armaments, weapons, horses and so on.

In this way, relying on the richness of Jinjiang Town's land, plus the profits of Shanghai Trade, etc., it can be regarded as spreading the stall.

What's in Northtown?
There are less than [-] people, and as many as [-] soldiers have been transferred.

Therefore, the expenditure of the entire Beizhen basically needs to be supplied by the country. If the domestic supply is less than one point of supplies, Beizhen will be short of one point, and it will definitely not be less than one point.

More than ten thousand military dependents can't grow much land, and they have to raise horses and so on.

So when it came to the lean months, Beizhen's help was needed instead.

Such behavior led to people fleeing southward.

The generals whispered from time to time.

A group of people walked to the porridge shed. Li Changsong picked up the spoon himself and scooped it a few times in the pot, which was full of water.

The porridge in the pot is not for outsiders to eat, it is also military family members who help.

This is the situation everywhere, and the porridge sheds for women, children, the elderly and the weak in other places are even worse without looking.

As for the soldiers, they were working together in the camp, and the rice grains in the pot must be better than those outside the barracks.

Li Changsong's face turned dark.

The rest of the generals did not speak.

They just asked the Jiedu envoy to take a look. The soldiers really didn't have enough to eat. If this continues, they will starve to death.

The soldiers have weapons in their hands, but they will not wait to die obediently.

Li Changsong sighed helplessly.

"I wrote to Marquis Ping Liao, hoping that he would support our brothers with life-saving rations for our sake."

It's not that he has a dark heart, so he doesn't care about the lives of his brothers.

He asked Ping Liaohou to borrow food.

Even if he had someone in the court, the court would think that the relationship between him and Jin Jiangzhen was unclear, and the suspicion he had already received would be aggravated.

And he was even more afraid of Marquis Ping Liao.

Of the officers, soldiers and common people in Beizhen, who doesn't talk about Jinjiang Town?Who doesn't secretly envy Jinjiang Town?If it weren't for Beizhen's control, the population of Beizhen would have already entered Jinjiang Town.

Today it is easy to find Marquis Ping Liao to borrow food, but Marquis Ping Liao raises his arms every day, so it is not known what Beizhen's surname is.

The eight thousand soldiers in Beizhen are also soldiers.

After all, I have been training for several years.

Don't look at the lack of combat power now, it's because the stomach is not full, and the weapons and armor are not strong.

When I arrived at Jinjiang Town, I took a look.

In less than half a year, earth-shaking changes will take place.

The generals couldn't control so much, and when they heard Jiedushi let go, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Put a dry meal every two days."

After the inspection, Li Changsong changed his mind.

Based on his understanding of Marquis Pingliao's character, Marquis Pingliao would definitely agree to lend grain to Beizhen.

In order to save some people's hearts, Li Changsong decided to take the initiative to bleed.

Seeing the generosity of the Jiedushi, the generals became more and more happy.

They will not starve to death.

But when soldiers starve to death, they are nothing.

The imperial court didn't care, they could only find Jinzhou.

As for whether Marquis Ping Liao will rebel, Conglong's contribution is not bad.

After all, Jinjiang Town is so powerful, even if it is impossible to enter the customs, it is not a problem to be the king of Liaodong, which is thousands of miles away.
