Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 44 There is thunder in the chest, but the face is like a flat lake

As Wang Qi looked away, the pressure on Hai Lanzhu suddenly lightened. For some reason, Wang Qi just sat there quietly looking at him. He was almost paralyzed on the ground. Now that he had recovered, he just felt Her whole body was soft and her round legs could not help but tremble.

"What does the general mean? Hai Lanzhu doesn't understand," Hai Lanzhu's voice was dry and hoarse, and he subconsciously stretched out his pink tongue and licked his lips.

"I would like to know the approximate time when the Huang Taiji delegation arrives in Horqin."

While the two were talking, several little maids walked in carefully carrying side dishes and refreshments.

Not far from the door, Qin Erbao held his waist knife in one hand and walked with the guards at the door.

Obviously, all strangers who enter Wang Qi's house must be inspected.

"If we go back to the general, based on the distance, we will arrive about three days later than the Jurchens." Hai Lanzhu murmured, and at the same time moved a little uneasily.

She found that in front of Wang Qi, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, unable to have the strength or thought to resist.

This made Hai Lanzhu a little uneasy.

"Don't you know Huang Taiji?" Wang Qi looked away and looked at the geographical map again.

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it," Hai Lanzhu shook his head.

She hated being given to each other as a gift between tribes, becoming a puppet, an object of marriage.

Therefore, it makes no difference to her whether the marriage partner is Huang Taiji or Bai Taiji.

"In an hour, draw me our route to Horqin. It's right here. After we draw it, we can set off." Wang Qi tapped the table with his finger, then got up and went to the hall. On weekdays, Wang Qi is Eat around the table with the guards.

"I'm a guide, not a prisoner!" Hai Lanzhu summoned up the courage and complained softly before Wang Qi stepped out of the hall.

"You can just leave," Wang Qi did not look back, leaving only these light words.

"Big bastard! Wang Qi, I curse you to be cut to pieces by a thousand Jurchens!"

Hai Lanzhu walked to the table while cursing quietly.

There is no other way. If you ask for help from others and get scolded, things still need to be done.

Hailanzhu sat at the table and looked at the geographical map that detailed the regional divisions of the Mongolian grasslands.

After a while, the strange color in Hai Lanzhu's beautiful eyes became more and more serious. She had to admit that the Qing Li Si Si of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty was still somewhat useful.

The Ministry of Military Affairs of the Ming Dynasty was responsible for the Qing Dynasty's official affairs department, which was responsible for the world's maps, city gods, camp operations, and Guanjin affairs. In the 26th year of Hongwu's reign, it began to compile the books. By the Jiajing period, it was updated once every three years instead of once every ten years. In addition, , the Ming Dynasty Hui Dian also recorded in detail the border warning regulations for the key points of border defense. Whenever the Mongols come out, they should set fire to the wind and burn the weeds to exterminate the barbarians.

Hailanzhu checked for a long time and found that except for some errors in the boundaries of uninhabited and inaccessible areas, it could almost be said to include the entire mountainous area where all the Mongolian tribes were located, as long as the parts bordered the Ming Dynasty border or were related to military strategic points Everywhere there are detailed descriptions and notes.

"The Ming Dynasty should not be underestimated." Hai Lanzhu became more and more surprised as he looked at it. Uncle Bater explained that the Ming Dynasty was a camel that was so thin that it was bigger than a horse. As long as he was given decades to recover, he could crush the Horqin grassland tribes as easily as an ant. .
  At this moment, outside the foyer, Wang Qi was eating with Qin Erbao and others.

"Sir, that map?" Qin Erbao handed the small bowl filled with meat porridge to Wang Qi, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of discretion," Wang Qi said nonchalantly, picking up the bowl and snoring in the wind.

In order to enter the grassland in time for this afternoon, Wang Qi was really hungry after galloping all the way for more than a hundred miles. In a few days, it will be the season when cross winds occur frequently on the grassland. If you are not careful, the cattle and sheep can be blown away while walking on the road, so it is better to set off early.

The map Qin Erbao mentioned was the latest map of the Ministry of War given to Wang Qi by Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Manager. It was also a task that Sun Chengzong, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, focused on after taking office - updating the national geographical map and focusing on the investigation of the Jurchen and Mongolian kingdoms. The geographical situation of the Ministry of Maps.

Sometimes, showing one's strength to the enemy is also a kind of strategic power.

Wang Qi believed that after Hai Lanzhu read the geographical map, he would have a new understanding of the military situation of the Ming Dynasty. Combined with the results of the Siping Battle, a brand new image of the Ming Dynasty's military strength would appear here. In the mind of the little princess Horqin.

"Captain, Lord Commander!!!"

At this moment, the voice of the guard Zhang Ju suddenly came from outside the door, which was extremely urgent.

"Let him in!" Wang Qi raised his head and saw the guard officer blocked at the door.

"Sir, it's not good, sir!" Zhang Ju ran into the hall with a military intelligence report in his hand: "Hou Jin suddenly launched a large-scale attack on southern Liaoning. Three days ago, Dongjiang Town fell, and Mao Wenlong led his men."

"How is it?" Wang Qi did not put down the rice in his hand, but continued to chew it leisurely.

Zhang Ju handed the newspaper to the pond with both hands, lowered his head, and spoke two words from between his teeth: "It's surrendered."

As soon as these words came out, several personal guards were stunned, and then looked at Wang Qi.

The fall of Liaonan means that Hou Jin will start fighting against the Ming Dynasty again?
  Is Liaoxi still stable?

Will Horqin's attitude change?
  How will the court react?
  Everyone's hearts were tight.

"Ha" Wang Qi put down the small bowl, still unhurriedly: "Liaonan is a land separated by a sea and close to Denglai. My uncle is the new governor of Shandong. He is very busy."

call.
  Zhang Ju, who was sweating profusely, saw that Wang Qi was so indifferent, and his original anxious mood calmed down: Yes, it's just southern Liaoning, our Ming Dynasty covers more than ten thousand miles, Liaodong has the strategic minister Xiong Tingbi, and Shandong has a new chief minister. Wang Huazhen, with two famous ministers in charge, what big trouble could Hou Jin make?
  At this time, Wang Qi stood up and took the newspaper.

Everyone in the hall looked at this young and excessive commander, he was the backbone of everyone.

"It's a Tang newspaper issued by the Jinglue government office," Wang Qi expressed his opinion while reading it: "Xiong Jinglue's meaning is very clear. It is an urgent task for all localities to do their job well, including training troops, patrolling, and farming, and bringing back the people. As long as the land in western Liaoning is still in my hands and backed by my vast territory of Ming Dynasty, the recovery of Liaodong will be just around the corner!"

Wang Qi turned to look at everyone in the hall: "You guys, remember, failure in one place doesn't mean anything. Focusing on the long term is the most important factor that determines the success or failure of things. Before the Battle of Siping, did Hou Jin ever focus on Liaoning?" Half a point to the south? What is there to occupy in this desolate land? Hou Jin occupied the land in southern Liaoning. Fundamentally speaking, the Guizhou donkeys were too incompetent to dare to advance even an inch westward!"

Yes! That’s great!

Zhang Ju clapped his thigh and agreed very much with Wang Qi's words: I have the Ming Dynasty with a vast territory of thousands of miles, and a great victory in Siping. Hou Jin did not dare to look west, so he could only occupy southern Liaoning to pacify the internal eunuchs! It’s just a piece of gold, nothing worth mentioning!
  Not only Zhang Ju, but also everyone in the hall became slightly pale after hearing Wang Qi's analysis.

After a while, after Zhang Ju and everyone in the hall calmed down, Wang Qi turned around and walked towards the hall.

As soon as they turned the corner, they met Hai Lanzhu standing by the wall.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Qi looked at Hai Lanzhu.

There are still pastry crumbs stuck to the corner of Horqin Gege's mouth, and she is licking them gently with the tip of her tongue.

"I've finished drawing the route map, and I'm just about to go find you." Hai Lanzhu wrinkled her white and tender nose to express her dissatisfaction: "I'm hungry."
