Chapter 131 New trade routes
Chapter 131 New Business Road
A "The Proverb of the Strongest Chinese and Tang Dynasties" read Fang Shihong, who was sweating heavily, frequently picked up tea and drank a sip, moistening his dry throat. He was a serious juren, so he naturally understood the meaning of these current texts, and the revival of the Han and Tang Dynasties Isn’t it just to reshape the style of martial arts? Isn’t it just to be an enemy of scholars all over the world?
Looking at Mr. Fang who was sweating on his forehead, Ma Cheng said dejectedly: "What do Brother Fang think about that day in the melee?"
Fang Shihong shivered out of thin air, recalling that during the melee that day, four or five thousand young and strong men in Chenyang knelt on the ground, rather than being shot by arrows than resisting. Four or five thousand young men held their heads, cried, and opened their eyes Seeing the cowardly scene of Jiannu's archer mingling in the crowd and shooting arrows and unwilling to resist, this is the cowardly people of Huang Ming and the people of the Celestial Empire.
When Fang Shihong remembered that scene, he became a little crazy again, holding the collection of essays in his hand hard.
After all, Mr. Fang was a genuine scholar and pondered: "Although the Tang Dynasty was strong, it was eventually destroyed by the barbarians."
Ma Cheng interrupted him and said coldly: "Then kill him, and if he kills him, he will not die."
Fang Shihong shivered in fear, frightened by Ma Cheng's crazy thoughts, and his hands trembled, and even the teacup in his hand broke.
Ma Cheng had no choice but to spread his hands: "Can you kill less by Taizu? "
Fang Shihong remembered Taizu. Chengzu's iron-blooded methods of treating the northern barbarians were a little nicer. Ma Cheng sighed in his heart when he saw him feeling nervous. After all, scholars of this era have too little vision. What's the point of killing a few barbarians? This brother Fang has never seen the white people in later generations. He killed all the Indians and had civilized American states. He first had countless black slaves to have plantations in the southern United States.
Capital accumulation is a bloody process, which is common sense that elementary school students know in later generations, and in this era it is a rebellious and unpleasant and honest advice. However, Fang Shihong was finally shaken and patient, and finally he would write more than a dozen articles on the revival of the Han and Tang Dynasties. After reading it, I pondered for a long time, and this genuine juren was obviously trapped in complexity and contradiction.
Ma Cheng smiled, is the character of a literati? This thing is just a fool, but after all, it is just a big fist to speak.
Later generations of Qing Dynasty, the most unscrupulous person was scholars. The benevolent and righteous gentlemen in the court were not as loyal as eunuchs and brave as well. Ma Cheng was not worried about the lack of market for the revival of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If one day Ma's fist was big enough, he would be afraid. There are many boneless scholars in the world who shook their heads and praised the revival of the Han and Tang dynasties and restored glory. But now we have to convince Fang Shihong first. Such a genuine scholar and the prime minister are quite difficult.
Fang Shihong, who was still in conflict, reorganized his army and prepared for war, built a Tieling Defense Line, and conquered the powerful people of Tieling. There were too many things to do at hand, and each thing could not be delayed.
Two days later, the commander-in-chief of the Guard.
The Tieling Guard Commander Office has now become the front command center of Macheng. Chen Liang, who was valued, was so busy that he could not raise his head every day that he was in charge of the commander office handling busy official duties. Chen Liang, who was born in the Zhejiang Army, was trembling with fear. , walking on thin ice, Macheng broke out and dismissed several battalion officials who were disobeying discipline. A roaring Shangguan's deputy battalion official chopped his head and purged the military discipline. No one dared to neglect the newly appointed deputy general Shen. Yes, the deputy battalion officer of Shenji Camp is the second young master. He just said a few harsh words to Deputy General Chen, and his head was still hanging outside.
The Zhejiang clan had a place in the Kaiyuan Army, and Ma Yi had some complaints about this. The deputy battalion officer who was killed was a son of the Kaiyuan Ma family. The second son of Ma even sued the Admiral's yamen.
Ma Lin fulfilled his promise, regardless of military affairs, and beat the second young master out with a cold face. Ma Cheng simply asked for alcohol and apologized in the room, and moved out of Ernie. The second wife of Ma's mansion was a generalist and taught her son a lesson.
When the brothers reconciled, Ma Cheng finally understood why great things were accomplished, and all regarded family affection very indifferently.
Fortunately, Ernie was a knowledgeable person and hit him in the face: "This Liao Zuo, the world only knows Kaiyuan Ma Wu, where are you tired and stupid?"
Ma Yi was beaten by the old lady's feather duster and begged for mercy. Ma Cheng couldn't stop him from laughing and crying, and he respected the second lady even more. This second lady knew the general and knew how to advance and retreat. She was better than the shrew who was far away in Shanxi.
On the street, Mr. Ma was scattered by my mother and went to drink wine angrily. He was carried back by his personal soldiers that night, and there was a concubine in the room. I was so angry that I picked up a feather duster again.
Ma Cheng was just laughing and crying. Although this second brother had no courage, he was a person with a temperament. The next day, Ma Cheng put down his airs and invited him to drink again. A little bit of dirty flirting among his brothers disappeared, making Ma Cheng sigh at how reasonable the ancients' instructions were.
, The so-called harmony between the family and everything will prosper, brothers will work together, and their efforts will cut off gold. These are all the most reasonable and clear words.
After appeased the second brother and went to see his father again, Admiral Ma was anxious to start a new business road. The new business road left Kaiyuan and headed northwest. After crossing the twenty-mile mountain road, turn to the southwest. He detoured Mongolia and entered along the Ming Great Wall.
Xifengkou, then transfer from Xifengkou to Jizhen. At present, Mongolia has a severe drought and is empty. This route to pass is still safe, but it only requires heavy troops to escort it. However, Kaiyuan Admiral's Mansion cannot be extracted no matter what.
The guards are not strong enough.
The business route was cut off, and Ma Lin, who was trapped in the lonely city, no longer hesitated and accepted the advice of Wu Zi and armed the business group.
Kaiyuan Armory opened, and the number of strong bows and hard crossbows was insufficient, so he fired a large number of three-eyed guns in stock and armed a business group guard with a number of more than 3,000 people. Ma Cheng was not at ease and sent another one.
The cavalry guarded the camp, and the long caravan set out. The cavalry officer secretly received a secret order. This newly opened secret trade route was related to the survival of Kaiyuan. The Mongolians he encountered on the road were killed, regardless of age,
Only in this way can the secret be kept strictly.
As for how long the secret of this trade route can be kept, Ma Cheng is lazy and can keep it for a while. In addition to opening up the trade route to pass, Admiral Ma is also planning to build cannons, but Kaiyuan is not short of iron and copper materials.
But there are no craftsmen who can make cannons. Craftsmen who can make cannons are far away in Jizhen. Far water cannot quench near thirst. In this matter, there are only a lot of troops in Liaoyang. At present, Liaoyang is gathering, and more than 50,000 guards are gathered inside and outside the city.
, roughly between 50,000 and 70,000.
The messenger arrived in Liaoyang, and Yuan Yingtai was familiar with the situation. He sent a hundred craftsmen to Kaiyuan and sent a secret letter back. Ma Cheng unpacked the secret letter in his father's study, and frowned after reading a few words.
Lord Yuan's words were quite crazy, and the scholars were motivated. He first praised Admiral Ma, and then agreed that Liaoyang and Kaiyuan families would choose a day to launch troops, attack Shenyang and Fushun, and recover lost territory.
