The devil is coming

Chapter 603 Dayan Zhongliang
On the grill, skewers of mutton are simmering in oil, making a crisp and tempting sound;
Uncle Zheng grabbed a handful of cumin and garnished it very freely.
Beside him, Liu Ruqing was wiping the sweat from Uncle Zheng's forehead.
In the courtyard,
Just Uncle Zheng and Liu Ruqing.
The princess is writing a family letter. This family letter will be attached to it as the first diplomatic communication from the Marquis Palace to Chu after the court conferring the title of Marquis.
This actually contains the attitude of the Marquis Mansion in eastern Shanxi towards Chu, its neighbor, in the next few years.
Asking the princess to add her family letter here is a performance that is more descriptive than words;
Political marriage is never reliable;
In the face of real interests, the so-called marriage and the so-called love between children of the family are all a joke;
Since ancient times, not only killing the father to seize the throne, but also the annexation and backstabbing between nephews, cousins, and in-laws, what's missing?
In fact, the kind of weak-legged people who overthrow everything and stand up and take charge are the minority among the minority. Most of the time, power changes when dynasties change. If you look closely, you will find that they are all relatives.
But what to say,
There is this level of relationship,
When both parties need to "recuperate", it can be more natural and smoother, and both parties can have a proper explanation internally and externally.
Therefore, this letter from home has great political significance;
The princess does not care about the safety of the people of the two countries or whether they will be invaded by war.
Oh no,
The princess still cares a little about the soldiers and civilians at Snow Customs;
According to the blind man’s report,
During these days when Uncle Zheng was on the expedition,
The princess has represented Uncle Zheng several times and as his wife, visited the orphans and widows in Biao House and the veterans who were disabled on the battlefield and returned to their hometowns;
The princess would hold their hands and greet them.
It's almost winter and the Chinese New Year is about to begin. I wonder if my family has prepared enough winter food and New Year's goods.
The effect was excellent, and I was greatly moved.
Many soldiers and civilians in Xuehai Customs worshiped the noble princess as a living Bodhisattva.
then,
Everyone seems to have overlooked one thing,
That is most of the men in Xueguan, Lang Qingzhuang, who are currently attacking the Chu State where this noble princess was born.
The princess cares about the soldiers and civilians of Xueguan because she understands that this is her husband's inheritance, and it is also an inheritance that her son can share in the future.
Although on that day,
His husband watched Prince Jingnan crawling on the map,
He said those treasonous words,
vaguely,
It revealed that even if he really conquered the country in the future, he would give it to Tiantian to repay King Jingnan's favor.
But the princess was not worried about this;
One reason is because her husband doesn’t have any children yet.
No heirs,
Talent is poor and generous;
Once you have children, you naturally want the best for your children;
Secondly,
Nowadays, the King of Jingnan is still the King of Jingnan. Although the official identity of the Crown Prince of Jingnan is unclear, in the end he has a great reputation.
But what about five years from now?
But what about ten years from now?
But in 20 or 30 years,
Will the world really be peaceful again?
The bloodline of King Jingnan,
Is it possible that it can really be compared to the bloodline of Dayanping Yebo?
common people,
Soldiers,
Will they allow someone who is not of their own uncle's bloodline to be crowned emperor?
Therefore,
The princess doesn't want to think too much about the absence of a shadow. She is in seclusion now and needs to study this family letter carefully and write it appropriately.
One is to do things for her husband, which is a political task entrusted to her by her husband;
Secondly, this family letter is also related to her face as a princess of the Chu State when she returns to Chu for relatives in the future, and is related to her political influence in the Chu State.
She liked scenery and power. She never hid this fact, but confessed it to her husband, who didn't mind at all.
So,
The princess is busy with official duties,
In the back house of the Earl's Mansion,
Only Uncle Zheng and Liu Ruqing were left to relax.
Uncle Zheng inserted one hand quietly;
Just like running thousands of miles to the snow customs,
then,
One horizontal line,
One vertical line,
With a flick,
Take a swipe.
"hiss………"
The sudden rush is like the waves of the Wangjiang River, surging southward;
Suddenly, it is as powerful as the fire of Jingcheng, and it lasts endlessly;
Liu Ruqing bit her lower lip tightly.
The body can't help but lean forward,
said shyly;
"Uncle~~~~~~"
Uncle Zheng's whole heart trembled.
It's this sound,
That's the tune,
It’s this desire to refuse in return for shame;
"Ruqing, turn the meat over."
"Yes, uncle~~"
Liu Ruqing reached out to flip the meat skewers on the grill.
My body trembles from time to time,
look back
He looked at his uncle with great sadness,
Subsequently,
He had no choice but to continue turning the meat skewers.
But I am extremely shy,
But I just couldn't refuse,
After coming together from time to time,
You still have to loosen the gap slightly,
Don't let him ruin yourself,
Can't let him not ruin himself,
We can't let him feel that he is casual,
Don't let him feel that he is not casual at all;
After all, his heart and future were promised to him.
It can only be left to him.
Gone~~
"Uncle, it's baked...it's ready."
Zheng Fan nodded,
take back your hand,
Liu Ruqing picked up a towel lying next to her and helped wipe it.
immediately,
Uncle Zheng took a meat skewer and ate it;
In fact, the smell of barbecue is just the smell of barbecue. Rather than eating meat, it is better to say that you are eating seasonings.
When eating barbecue, the key is to look at your mood, the environment, and who you’re with.
Liu Ruqing was also eating, and she was not too formal. She held a skewer in one hand and lifted one side of her hair with the other, tilting her face slightly as she ate.
can only say,
A truly beautiful person,
She doesn't need too much pretense,
It is beautiful in itself.
Uncle Zheng felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Coming back from fighting outside,
Teasing and teasing my beautiful concubine,
This is called life, this is called living.
"Uncle, I'm full."
Eating meat makes you feel full.
Uncle Zheng nodded, picked up the skewers again, put them on again and continued grilling, while saying:
"Send a message and let those people come in."
"Yes, uncle."
Liu Ruqing went down.
Uncle Zheng reached out and gently rubbed his chin.
It's said to be leisurely, said to be on vacation, said to be not to let things disturb you, but once you are involved in the situation, how can you completely escape?
It's okay when he's not around,
Since he is currently in Snow Customs,
There are some things,
He still had to come forward in person.
Not long after, several savage tribe leaders and some young men wearing the bodyguard armor of the Earl of Xuehaiguan Mansion came in, and they all knelt down to Uncle Zheng who was grilling skewers.
"See uncle."
"See uncle."
Uncle Zheng took back his hand on the skewers.
He pointed at a young guard and then pointed at the grill.
The guard understood and immediately stood up and took over the task of grilling skewers.
Uncle Zheng is wearing a grizzly bear leather jacket today, made by Siniang, with gold trim around his neck. He looks powerful and restrained.
Put your hands on your sleeves,
Uncle Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, leaned back slightly.
Lean on the chair,
look,
Scanning the people kneeling there,
There was no rush to wake them up.
yard,
The only sound left was the spitting of oil from the skewers.
for a while,
Uncle Zheng said;
"Hailanyang Valley, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look so rich."
Hailan Yanggu, the leader of the Hailan tribe who was kneeling on the ground, immediately kowtowed and said:
"Thanks to your blessing, Mr. Tuobo, my Hailan tribe has abundant pasture. On weekdays, I can't help but eat a few more meats and drink a few more sips of wine. Now, my body has become fatter."
"Hahahaha, you are so lucky. I just came back from the expedition a few days ago. My wife said that I have lost weight."
Hailan Yanggu's heart trembled,
Immediately said:
"Uncle is still heroic and extraordinary. In the eyes of slaves, uncle is like a star on this snowy field, high above, shining in all directions!"
"Hailanyang Valley."
"The slave is here."
"Raise your head and let Uncle Ben take a closer look."
Hearing this, Hailan Yanggu raised his head obediently,
On his face, there are two whip marks that have faded a lot but are still clearly visible.
These two whips,
Zheng Fan smoked it himself.
"Do you still want to be whipped on your face?"
"Slave, I know my sin, I know my sin!"
In fact, Hailan Yanggu really didn't know what crime he was guilty of, but he could only plead guilty at this time.
"Oh, how can you, the leader of the Hailan clan, plead guilty? What crime do you have?"
"The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty!"
"Okay, where's the sin?"
"This this………"
"You are not guilty."
"No, no, no, the slave is guilty, the slave is guilty."
"No, you are not guilty. Not only you, but also you, you, you, you leaders, are the first to attach themselves to our Snow Customs and the first to submit to me. You are the most loyal to me in this snowy field. people.
Is not it? "
Hailan Yanggu and other leaders immediately kowtowed:
"We will swear allegiance to Uncle Hirano and follow him to the death."
When Zheng Fan first arrived at Xueguan, the Hailan tribe was just a small tribe near Xueguan, with a population of just over 2000.
However, as Zheng Fan led the Yan army to clear the snowfield several times, a certain vacuum appeared in the snowfield. Then, these small tribes who were the first to submit to Xuehaiguan ushered in an opportunity for rapid development.
With the Yan people on their backs, they can be said to be powerful in the snowfield, not to mention the entire snowfield, but at least this area near the south. These small tribes in the past can be said to be full of food.
Take the Hailan Tribe, which had only about [-] members back then, as an example. Now, the population of the Hailan Tribe is no less than [-]!
Yes, no less than [-], not counting the affiliated small tribes that submitted to the Hailan tribe.
Calculated based on the ratio of five puffs to one shot, the current number of warriors in the Hailan tribe is over [-]!
The little one in the past has grown into the new Tibetan Mastiff in the snowy plains since becoming the Yan people's dog.
Of course, one must first have doubts about their combat effectiveness. Even if there are ten thousand warriors, three thousand cavalry from Xuehaiguan can probably overwhelm them with their eyes closed.
After all, the ethnic groups were annexed too quickly, and there was no time to implement the sense of belonging and lower-level governance. It was nothing more than another form of mountain king combination.
Zheng Fan smiled,
yard,
He was the only one laughing.
The rest of the people did not dare to ask why the uncle suddenly laughed. The more Zheng Fan behaved like this, the more frightened they became.
Although the Yan army has never penetrated deeply into the snowfield on a large scale, it can be said that it is invincible in several sweeps, and the battle loss ratio is extremely exaggerated. As a result, the savages on the snowfield have already become interested in the Yan people and the black dragon flag. Awe from the bottom of my heart.
"Uncle Ben, I want to reward you well!"
Zheng Fan paused.
Road:
"Hailan Kucha, Hailan Bogu..."
Uncle Zheng read out the names of more than ten of his personal guards present.
These personal guards have been following him since last year.
They are all the sons of these tribal leaders.
"Uncle Ben will make you a general."
In one breath, it was definitely a big deal to seal more than a dozen generals.
But considering that Uncle Zheng will soon be promoted to Lord Zheng, these are nothing.
Personal guards are just like the leader's secretary. It is a custom in the military to send personal guards out to lead troops. It is the same among the four major countries.
of course,
An official title is just an official title;
A general must have at least a battalion of soldiers and horses under his command, right?
Uncle Zheng will not send out a single soldier.
even,
Not a single piece of ordnance will be produced,
They are all the sons of the leader of the Snowfield Tribe.
He sealed their official positions,
They should be grateful,
then,
Spend your own money on your own money,
Provide their sons with warriors, horses, and weapons for their sons.
Warriors and horses are easy to deal with;
What about ordnance?
Xueyuan's smelting technology is not up to par. Furthermore, the Snow Navy is about to undergo a new round of uniform changes. You can't let your son's soldiers and horses be in tatters or miscellaneous, right?
This is not a problem,
Can I buy it?
Place an order with Xue Customs and Foundry Bureau,
Gold and silver can pay,
cattle, sheep and horses,
You can also pay,
People from the tribe can work in many workshops in Xuehaiguan, and they can also get a refund.
even,
You can also get credit first.
Wait until next year when the pasture is plentiful and the cattle and sheep are fat, then pay it back!
The leaders, represented by Hailan Yanggu, were stunned at first, then panicked, then hollow, and finally, forcibly ecstatic.
Kowtow together;
"Thank you uncle for the reward. I am so kind and kind, and I will always shine on the snowfield!"
"Thank you uncle for the reward!"
"Uncle's kindness knows no bounds!"
More than ten rank of generals,
Just sent it out,
to be honest,
It's nothing more than another replica of how Uncle Zheng tricked the eldest prince into taking the carved carrot seal to the snowy plains as an envoy.
These official titles actually cost nothing to Uncle Zheng.
But Uncle Zheng was able to harvest it immediately,
Nearly [-] wild man cavalry!
These wild cavalrymen were all good at equestrian skills and had high-quality horses. They also purchased ordnance from the foundry bureau of the official camp at their own expense.
Not only does he have a new force in his hands,
It also greatly weakened the power of these tribes who relied on their own big trees to enjoy the shade in the snowy fields.
dog,
Yes, I have to feed you.
But don’t feed it too fat.
If you are too fat, your courage will also become fat.
It may come back to bite the owner.
Bloodletting must be done sequentially.
Uncle Zheng’s move,
It can be said that he is well versed in the method of scientific development and continuous cutting of leeks.
As for the issue of combat power?
Don't worry,
The differences between races are actually not that big, at least, not as big as imagined.
You can say that the savages are not good at fighting and are often beaten violently by the Yan army with only a fraction of their strength.
But the Savage King had led the Savages into the Snow Pass and defeated Situ Lei and the First Prince's Eastern Expedition army.
These savage cavalry were divided up and returned to their respective towns. They were scattered, kneaded, and digested.
Under coordinated training,
It must be another elite soldier!
With A Cheng here, Gou Moli here, and now Jin Shu but their new generals, coupled with the ideological and political education of the blind man's group, Uncle Zheng is really concerned about military training. Not worried at all.
Two great gates and one city,
The land of Jindong,
The territory suddenly expanded too fast and too big.
Is the military strength sufficient?
It must not be enough.
Therefore,
The savage soldiers must be used now. Fortunately, there is the First Town in front. Gou Moli has already contributed enough sincerity with the blood of the savages in the battle against Chu. Next, he will use the savage soldiers. , the resistance of the local military and civilians will be much weaker.
and,
Modeled on the military town system established by the "Eight Banners", it itself can greatly weaken the barriers between ethnic groups, integrate war and production, and form a system of marking households, camps, and towns, and then, at the top, with Zheng Bo A new sense of belonging system with Ye as the core.
The situation that Huang Taiji faced at the beginning was actually similar to that of Uncle Zheng now, so Huang Taiji changed Jurchen to Manchu.
The same goes for Uncle Zheng,
He is nominally from Yan,
However, the number of Yan soldiers and horses under Uncle Zheng's command only accounted for a small part.
There are ready-made successful examples, why not use them?
Of course, this group of barbarian soldiers and horses will not all fall under the command of the barbarian king's first town, but they will all be affected by the rain and dew.
The Savage King can lead troops in the future, but most of the time, he will have to stay with Uncle Zheng as a military advisor.
It was impossible for him to dispatch a large number of all-savage troops. Not to mention that Uncle Zheng would feel uncomfortable. Even if he stayed alone, he would probably feel a chill on his neck.
In addition to the barbarian soldiers and horses, the refugees from the Jin region selected young men to join the army, and the auxiliary troops from the Yan region enlisted, including the part that had been intercepted with the tacit consent of the King of Jingnan, and they would also be quickly absorbed into the Snow Navy in a short period of time.
Equipment, training, and ideological and political education can only be postponed for now.
Anyway,
The heads and camp heads had to be pulled up quickly first.
Being granted the title of Marquis is a definite matter, and we just have to wait for the imperial decree;
However, the entire land of eastern Jin needs to be prepared for threats from the Xueyuan and the Chu Kingdom. At the same time, it is necessary to have a constant force of troops to suppress possible changes in the Jin area. The number of troops required is really not a small number.
Uncle Zheng and the demon kings were originally perfectionists. They didn't like to riot when their combat effectiveness and quality couldn't keep up. But now they really have to grasp the main contradiction first.
If your troops are insufficient,
Will the imperial court leave a few general soldiers for you to help you garrison?
The good name is, assisting in defense?
Doesn’t this mean asking someone to install nails in your home?
at the moment,
With King Jingnan in front, he can block most of the divisions and early suppression methods from the imperial court;
But the premise is that you must be able to hold on.
Anyway, if we don't go to war recently, we'll just draw up our troops first, and then slowly train to improve our combat effectiveness.
The chiefs and their sons went down,
when leaving,
One person held two skewers of mutton in his hand and ate them while walking.
I guess, while eating it, my heart is bleeding. This may be the most expensive and most evil barbecue in the world.
Send away these leaders,
Uncle Zheng originally thought about going to Liu Ruqing to be gentle and gentle.
Listen to "uncle" a few more times,
But at this time,
Ji Laoliu’s letter,
Arrived.
When Yingdu was conquered, the messenger set off to Yanjing, and then returned with the letter from Yanjing. The journey was long and time-consuming. When the reply was received, Uncle Zheng himself had already returned to Xue Customs.
stationery,
a lot of,
Uncle Zheng looked at each one,
Lost one by one.
"Is this Ji Laoliu doing performance art with me?"
Cross out a few lines;
A few more lines, then crossed out;
what's the matter,
Even though we are so far apart, you still send me your thoughts when you wrote the letter?
Tsk, that’s a little too numb.
see the end,
In fact, this is the actual reply content:
Beast, help me.
——Bitch.
"Ah."
Uncle Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Laughed.
can write this letter,
It proved that Emperor Yan's body really couldn't survive much longer, and some things were already imminent.
Uncle Zheng picked up the pen and
write a reply,
The letter is very simple;
Uncle Zheng’s reply,
simpler:
I am Dayan Zhongliang!
------
In fact, my writing status has been good these days, but the plot is a bit stuck. I will update it today and will update it tomorrow, so don’t panic!
