Chapter Five Hundred and Forty Nine (The Servant Army Comes to the Monthly Pass)

Qiu Zhitao quickly sent someone to send a letter to Liu Erhu and He Zan, and sent someone to inform Liu Zongmin.

Yang Yu didn't think about it for a moment: "The Great Wall of Datong Prefecture is not controlled by us. Should we send troops to occupy Datong Prefecture first?"

"No need to do this." Jigui shook his head quickly and said:

"Datong Prefecture was defeated by Lin Danhan last year, and the looted families were also placed in the reclaimed land around Taiyuan City. It is useless to have the territory of Datong Prefecture, but we have to use a lot of people to defend the Great Wall.

Besides, our food storage cannot support so many people. I hope we can have a good harvest this year and we have to build water conservancy. The grasslands have been drought, and we are also affected. The water of the Yellow River has retreated a lot this year."

Yang Yuxiu nodded and pondered: "We also need to build more water trucks to avoid drought from affecting grain production."

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

"I just hope that the lord, this operation soldier, can bring back more practical benefits, otherwise, with the current grain storage, I will have to tighten my stomach next year."

"The lord burns Zhangjiakou, and maybe there will be merchants who come to us to trade with each other."

Jigui paused and said, "Since the Shanxi merchants are shirking their responsibilities to us, can we contact Zhejiang merchants or Hui merchants and let them transport grain from Jiangnan."

The Hammer Bandits occupy Shanxi, and of course the first choice is the Shanxi merchant, but the Shanxi merchants ignore you.

"Um."

The other two had nothing to refute. In the future, the lord designated to attack Jiangnan, and it would be better to take over Huguang and other places, which are grain-producing areas.

As for the period when He Jinchao was away, the people were mostly living and working in peace.

Since he cut off the heads of a group of officials who could not recognize the situation last time, the corruption has disappeared in a short time.

Yang Yuxiu was very strict about this matter. Whoever dared to embezzle was against him!

He finally had a thick leg on the list, and he had the opportunity to win his wife and children in the future and shine his family. No one would want to drag him down.

With him, an old official, those minor officials want to sneak into something money, they are the ones that he plays with, and they will catch them accurately.

He Jinchao does not want anyone to embezzle, so Yang Yuxiu will become a shape that He Jinchao needs to adapt to, so that he can do something big!

Especially, He Jinchao was not like the Ming Dynasty court, who did not pay salaries to officials, which made them unable to find a way to deduct food from the people.

Without the court's urging, corrupt officials and troubled officials, the farmers' association organized peasants to inspect villages and towns, and a group of soldiers who had retired due to injuries became village heads and town heads, the people could live well if they were autonomous.

Liu Erhu ran into the hall first and shouted: "Captain asked me to go to war?"

"Um."

"Hahaha, I'm so suffocating. He went to Beijing City to Yaowu and kill the dog emperor and let me guard the family." Liu Erhu walked around excitedly: "Tell me who to beat?"

Jigui signaled him to sit down for the time being, and when He Zan came, he told him together that he didn't know who the lord was targeting for this trip, maybe it was Zhangjiakou.

When He Zan came, Ji Gui told them He Jinchao’s proposal and asked them to walk to Zhangjiakou on the Great Wall.

"Fight the Mongolians?" He Zan frowned slightly: "Most of my subordinates are miners and equipped with muskets, but when walking on the grassland, I am afraid I can't catch up with the Mongolians."

As far as he knows, a hiking Mongolian herder can take care of about two hundred sheep, and a horse-riding herder can take care of five hundred sheep.

Two horse-riding herdsmen can take care of about two thousand sheep when they work together.

If these Mongolians rode horses and ran away, the remaining people would probably not have the same method.

"The lord has already allocated the frontier guards and cavalrymen from Ordos to support them, and allocated the miners you trained, perhaps they are planning to find a wife for them."

"Oh, so that's it."

He Zan nodded, this is like a team leader. If you keep the soldiers in your hands, you have to give them a wife.

"By the way, to draw so many troops, we need to beware of the government troops in Shaanxi and other Mongolian right-wing forces harassing the mutual market points." He Zan paused and said, "My father wrote me a letter saying that they were very successful in suppressing bandits in Shaanxi, so that I could do it myself."

Upon hearing this news, Ji Gui was stunned for a moment, pinched his beard and said:

"It seems that after the Shaanxi Uprising Army arrived in Shanxi, it spread to Northern Zhili and Henan, and the encirclement and suppression of the government troops went even smoother."

"Well, you need to be on guard against one or two."

Of course, He Zan didn't think his father wrote him a letter for no reason, but was just reminding him.

"The Mongolian right wing can rest assured that the lord defeated Lin Danhan, and his younger brother is still in our hands. This group of people does not have the courage to go against us."

Yang Yuxiu also pinched his beard and said, "The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the official army of Hong Chengchou and others in Shaanxi. The greater the results of this group of people's war in the Vietnam War, the more elite the soldiers under their command."

"We should patrol carefully around the Yellow River and important ferries."

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

"There are no problems. Fuck the fuck first. Fight the Mongolians and bring back all the cattle and sheep. The captain made a big move this time."

Liu Erhu laughed loudly. He didn't think that there would be no war without riding a horse on the grassland.

"Okay, the last time you took people along the Great Wall to transport troops, the captain obviously asked you to lead the way this time.

Don’t cause trouble. This time I passed by the Great Wall of Datong Prefecture, which does not belong to us.

The lord doesn’t need you to conquer Datong Mansion, do you understand?

Because Datong Mansion is too broken, it will only affect our future development.

Especially this time, the lord made Zijinliang and Gao Chuangwang famous, and at least covered us up and we captured the limelight of King Jin. If you have nothing to do, don’t force yourself to show off.”

Regarding the military advisor's advice, Liu Erhu nodded and just let him go out to fight. He has to practice troops every day and always needs to test the results.

After they received the transfer order, they began to rectify their troops and prepare supplies.

On the grassland outside Zhangjiakou Pass.

He Jinchao couldn't help laughing as he watched Pan Yu lead the team, "Why are you not here at the trade site, come in person?"

"Captain, you don't speak Mongolian words, so as not to be deceived by the Mongols. This time I brought 3,300 cavalry, two thousand of whom were the servants of Ordos, and one thousand were the barbarians guarding the border."

Pan Yu has been promoted to captain, with one thousand people under his command, and only three hundred people have been brought this time, and the rest are guarding the market point. He Jinchao is very satisfied with this arrangement:

"Okay, let's call you here this time, taking advantage of the Kalaqin cavalry to support Liaodong, and the Later Jin Tartars fought fiercely with the Ming army. We should take the opportunity to ramble the Mongols' nests, and we must not let the Later Jin Tartars unify Mongolia."

"Captain, don't worry, I'm very familiar with this kind of thing."

I think Pan Yu was also an elite Ming army leader at night. This kind of trivial matter of scrambling to investigate news and leading the way is easy to get.

Lin Danhan, who was standing beside him, was slightly shocked as he saw He Jinchao calling so many cavalry. How could he command so many Mongolian cavalry?
