Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 553 The Servant Army Is Coming
Qiu Zhitao hurriedly sent someone to deliver letters to Liu Erhu and He Zan, and also sent someone to inform Liu Zongmin.

Yang Yuxiu thought for a while: "The Great Wall of Datong Mansion is not under our control, should we send troops to occupy Datong Mansion first?"

"That's not necessary." Ji Gui shook his head quickly and said:

"Datong Mansion was destroyed by Lin Danhan last year, and the plundered families were also resettled around Taiyuan City to reclaim land. It is useless for us to want the territory of Datong Mansion. Instead, we need to build a lot of troops to defend the Great Wall.

Besides, our grain reserves can’t support so many people. I hope we can have a good harvest this year, and we have to build water conservancy projects. The grasslands are suffering from drought, and we are also affected. This year, the water in the Yellow River has receded a lot. "

Yang Yuxiu nodded, and pondered: "We need to build more waterwheels, so as not to affect grain production due to drought."

Qiu Zhitao watched the official leave with the transfer order, he stood up and stretched his waist:

"I only hope that the lord's action soldier can come back with more practical benefits. Otherwise, with the current grain storage, next year we will have to tighten our stomachs to live."

"My lord, burn Zhangjiakou, maybe some merchants will switch to our place to trade."

Ji Gui paused and said, "Since Shanxi merchants are refusing us, can we contact Zhejiang merchants or Huizhou merchants and let them transport grain from Jiangnan."

When the hammer bandits occupy Shanxi, the first choice is of course the Shanxi merchants, but the Shanxi merchants ignore you.

"Ah."

The other two have nothing to refute. In the future, the lord will attack Jiangnan, and it is best to take Huguang and other places, which are major grain-producing areas.

As for the time when He Jinzhao was away, the common people probably lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Ever since he chopped off the heads of a group of officials who couldn't recognize the situation, the corruption incidents disappeared in a short time.

Yang Yuxiu is very strict about this matter, whoever dares to embezzle is against him!
It was hard for him to get a thick leg. In the future, if he has the opportunity to seal his wife's shade and shine in the family, no one should hold him back.

With him as an old official, those petty officials who want to steal some money are all leftovers from his play, and they are sure to catch one.

He Jinzhao doesn't want anyone to be corrupt, so Yang Yuxiu will become the shape that He Jinzhao needs to get used to, so that he can do great things!
In particular, unlike the Ming court, He Jinzhao did not pay salaries to the officials, so they could only think of ways to withhold food from the people.

Without the urging of the imperial court, the troubles of corrupt officials, the peasant association organizing farmers and soldiers to patrol the villages and towns, and a group of soldiers discharged from the army due to injuries as village chiefs, the people can live well with self-government.

Liu Erhu ran into the hall first, and shouted: "The captain told me to go to war?"

"Ah."

"Hahaha, I'm suffocating to death. He went to Beijing to show off his power and kill the dog emperor, so that I can guard the house." Liu Erhu walked back and forth excitedly: "Tell me who to beat?"

Ji Gui motioned him to sit down for the time being, and when He Zan came, he told them together that he didn't know who the lord's target was for this trip, maybe it was Zhangjiakou.

When He Zan came, Ji Gui told them He Jinzhao's proposition and asked them to walk the Great Wall to Zhangjiakou.

"Hit the Mongols?" He Zan frowned slightly: "Most of my subordinates are miners, and I'm also equipped with firecrackers, but walking on the grassland, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the Mongols."

As far as he knows, a Mongolian herdsman on foot can take care of about [-] sheep, and a herdsman on horseback can take care of [-] sheep.

With the cooperation of two horse-riding herders, they can take care of about [-] sheep.

If these Mongols escaped on horseback, and the rest of them drove the sheep, I am afraid that they would not have that method.

"My lord has dispatched the border guards and the Ordos cavalry to support them in the early stage. I dispatched the miners you trained. Maybe you plan to find wives for them."

"Oh, I see."

He Zan nodded, this is what a captain does.To keep the soldiers in your hands, you have to give them daughters-in-law.

"By the way, with the deployment of so many troops, we still need to guard against the harassment of the exchange point by the Shaanxi government army and other Mongolian right-wing forces." He Zan paused and said, "My father wrote to me, saying that they are very serious about suppressing bandits in Shaanxi." Success, let me do it myself.”

Hearing the news, Ji Gui froze for a moment, pinched his beard and said:
"It seems that after the Shaanxi uprising army arrived in Shanxi, it spread to Beizhili and Henan, and the encirclement and suppression by the government and army became more smooth."

"Well, we still need to take precautions."

Of course, He Zan didn't feel that his father wrote to him for no reason, it was just to remind him.

"The Mongolian right wing can rest assured. My lord, he defeated Lin Danhan. His younger brother is still in our hands. This group of people has no courage to fight against us."

Yang Yuxiu also pinched his beard and said: "The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the army of Hong Chengchou and others in Shaanxi. The more victories this group has achieved in the Vietnam War, the more elite their soldiers will be."

"The area around the Yellow River and important crossings still need to be carefully patrolled."

"I will send someone to contact Yansui Commander Wang Chengyin and the new garrison Tang Tong to ask about the current situation in Shaanxi and whether Hong Chengchou has any plans to come to Shanxi." Yang Yuxiu didn't think these two had the guts to refuse.

"There are so many problems, fuck the fuck first, beat the Mongols, and then bring back all the cattle and sheep. The captain is a big deal this time."

Liu Erhu laughed loudly. He didn't think it was impossible to fight on the grassland without riding a horse.

"All right, all right, last time you led people to transport troops along the Great Wall, the captain obviously asked you to lead the way this time.

Don't make trouble, this time we passed the Great Wall of Datong Prefecture, it doesn't belong to us yet.

The lord doesn't need you to take down the Datong Mansion, understand?
Because Datong Mansion is too dilapidated, taking it down will only affect our future development.

Especially this time, the lord made Zijinliang and King Gao Chuang famous, at least to cover up the limelight that we broke through Taiyuan and captured King Jin. It's okay, don't push yourself. "

Liu Erhu nodded in response to the military adviser's advice, and it was fine to let him go out to fight. He has been training troops every day these days, so he has to test the effect.

After the two of them received the transfer order, they began to organize their troops and prepare supplies.

On the grassland outside Zhangjiakou Pass.

He Jinzhao watched Pan Yu lead the team forward, and couldn't help laughing: "Why aren't you at the exchange point, and came in person?"

"Captain, you don't speak Mongolian, so as not to be tricked by the Mongols, this time I have brought 2000 cavalry, of which 1000 are the servants of Ordos, and [-] are composed of border guards."

Pan Yu has been promoted to captain, and 1000 people have been added under his command. This time, only 300 people will be brought in, and the rest will guard the exchange point. He Jinzhao is very satisfied with this arrangement:
"Okay, I've called you here this time to take advantage of the gap between the Karaqin cavalry supporting Liaodong and the Hou Jin Tatars fighting fiercely with the Ming army. Let's take this opportunity to destroy the Mongols' nest and never allow the Hou Jin Tartars to unify Mongolia. .”

"Don't worry, captain, I'm familiar with this kind of thing."

Thinking that he, Pan Yu, was also from the elite of the Ming army, Yebushu, this kind of trivial matter of scouting for news and leading the way is easy to grasp.

Lin Danhan looked at He Jinzhao calling so many cavalry, and was slightly shocked. How could he command so many Mongolian cavalry?
