Chapter 113 Restless Heart

Yun Zhao is very satisfied with the current state of Lantian County.

The emperor in the distant capital is still working hard to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall for this old and broken country.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty were still working hard to take care of this eldest dynasty while making their own fortunes.

The wealthy salt merchants, landowners, and officials in the southeast are still working hard to carry out their last carnival to the end.

The dilapidated Great Wall in the north is still full of soldiers wearing shabby clothes shivering in the cold wind. Farther away, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng are leading their troops across the thousands of miles of land. Encircle and suppress the Jianzhou people who walked like the wind, east and west.

The dry ancient rivers in the west and the Gobi Desert strewn with rocks are as quiet as if there had been no human habitation since ancient times.

The weirdest news that Yun Zhao knew came from Zhang Bingzhongzhong.

This guy actually started to farm. There were many mules and horses in his army. In order to reduce the burden of feeding, he distributed some of the weak and large animals to the people. Not only that, he also collected farm tools. It was distributed to the people, and even the small amount of grain purchased from Lantian County was distributed to the people, so that the people could survive this disaster year.

According to the reports from the spies, the whole farming project was actually going very smoothly. Canals were dug, wasteland was leveled, and streets were opened in a decent manner.

The person in charge of farming is Zhang Bingzhong’s adopted son-Sun Kewang!

It is a good thing to start leveling the fields in winter. After all, Xiangyang is relatively warm, and the land will not freeze even in winter.

This greatly eased the difficulty of Sun Kewang's farming.

In the past five years, Xiangyang was captured twice. Many people fled without a trace and the land was barren. Fortunately, there were countless farmers in the rebel army. Driven by whips, they put down their knives and began to restart their careers as farmers. .

Li Dingguo is also working hard to reclaim land. A few steps away from him, Zhang Guofeng is even more enthusiastic about it.

Phoenix Mountain is behind Yushan. After the cold current from the south is blocked by Yushan, the climate here appears to be milder than that of Yushan.

From early morning to noon, Li Dingguo’s stomach rumbled with hunger, and he roared at Zhang Guofeng, who was still fighting for the land: “Guofeng, I’m hungry.”

Li Dingguo found a place with lush grass and lay down. Biting the dry biscuit in his hand, he said: "Guofeng, are you really ready to be a farmer?"

Zhang Guofeng said: "I like to be a farmer, you know this."

Li Dingguo stared blankly at the blue sky and said: "Are you willing?"

Zhang Guofeng shook his head and said: "If you don't want to, I will be willing to give me another wife who can give birth to children."

"You used to be under one person in our army.More than ten thousand people! ”

Zhang Guofeng said with a smile: “I just want to be above one person now.” ”

“Is that really what you think?” Thinking about your talent and your martial arts skills, are you willing to live your whole life anonymously? ”

Zhang Guofeng said: “Why are you nameless?” If I become a farmer, shouldn't I be allowed to be called Zhang Guofeng? "

"I mean, shouldn't a man be known as a good man by showing off his parents? "

Zhang Guofeng shook his head and said: "I think having a lot of children is the best way to honor your parents. "

Li Dingguo sat up cross-legged and said seriously: "What do you think of Yun's new army? "

Zhang Guofeng said: "If you and I bring the old army to attack the Yun's new army... we will be dead. "

"Yun Zhao has such an elite team in his hands, but he doesn't even have the intention to leave the seclusion. Do you think this is a secret move? "

Zhang Guofeng shook his head and said: "You may not know that the boundary monument of Lantian County is about to reach Mianchi, Henan. "

"Who did you listen to? "

"Hmph, hey, there are Mianchi people in the new army, haven't you noticed? "

"A lot? "

"Not many, just three or five. There was one in my team. He came from Mianchi at the end of the year. He had read some books and was selected to join the new army.

The military regulations of the New Army of Lantian County clearly state that non-children from Lantian County are not allowed to join the New Army. Therefore, I think the boundary marker of Lantian County will reach Mianchi County, or it may already include Mianchi County. "

Li Dingguo thought about the distance from Tongguan to Mianchi County, sighed and said: "You mean the Yun family has expanded another three hundred miles? "

Zhang Guofeng said: "Lantian County does not use the army to expand land. This is no secret in Lantian County.

Li Dingguo sneered: "Yun Zhao is too self-righteous. The army is like a hammer in his hand, which can break any obstacles."

Zhang Guofeng said with a smile: "The hammer is breaking the ice in Guihua City now. I heard that the day Guihua City was built was when the Yun family's army captured Guihua City."

Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "It's impossible to do what Yun wanted. There are far-sighted people among the Jiannu people. They just lost 1,200 people in Xiaoyaotan, and they are stationed in Guihua City." There were less than 300 Jianzhou people, and it was impossible to rely entirely on the Mongols to send troops to control a city that was extremely important to them.

I predict that the Yun family will have a fierce battle with the Jianzhou people in Guihua City. "

Zhang Guofeng looked at Li Dingguo and said: "How can you see it? "

Li Dingguo laughed and said: "Because Lu Xiangsheng is in the capital at this time! It would have been unwise for Dorgon to go deep south of the capital alone.

However, he did so because he was too far away from the mainland controlled by the Jiannu. Even if he plundered materials and people and wanted to transport them back, he would definitely be chased and ambushed by the Ming army along the way. , but Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou did notOne of them is an ordinary person.

Dorgon wants to go back safely, how can it be possible without paying the price?

You said, the establishment of slavery has abolished so much power, what do you think their purpose is? "

Zhang Guofeng casually drew a geographical map of the Ming Dynasty on the ground with a branch, took a look at it and said: "You mean, Lu Xiangsheng left, they intend to go to Xuanfu, Datong? "

Li Dingguo chuckled and said: "Xuanfu, once Datong is lost, the Ming Dynasty's Great Wall defense line will be completely useless.

In the future, when Jiannu wants to attack the Ming Dynasty, Hebei and Shanxi will be the gateway. At that time, it will be extremely difficult for the Ming Dynasty to block Jiannu.

The most important thing is that the guards of Xuanfu and Datong are not Jianzhou people, but Mongolians. If Xuanfu and Datong are gone, what do you think the Mongols will do?

These foreigners have long been accustomed to robbing the Ming Dynasty.

Hahaha, when the time comes, the Mongols will swarm south and the slaves will knock on the gate again. I think the old emperor sitting in the capital will be so scared that he wets his pants. "

Zhang Guofeng said: "There are still new Lantian troops here. "

Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "Although the new army is elite, its number is too small. Such an all-firearms army relies too much on logistical supplies.

If they establish slaves, the Mongols will not fight them head-on. Instead, they will use the superiority of their cavalry to drag them around and attack wherever they must save them. Within a month or two, they will be able to defeat Gao Jie. It's not a big problem if the army under your command is completely defeated and then slowly eaten back up.

If I were a slave, I would do this! "

Zhang Guofeng picked up the hoe and said to Li Dingguo: "Let's go! "

Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment and said: "Where to go? "

"Go to Yun Zhao and fight with him on the map. "

Li Dingguo turned over and fell on the withered grass, pinched off a piece of weed and put it in his mouth: "I am now a captain of ten, and I have to take care of so many things. Why don't you rest? I will do more tomorrow." He's practicing assassination in the army. "

Zhang Guofeng said impatiently: "If you want to go to the military formation, you must first defeat Yun Zhao's group on the map. "

Li Dingguo snorted and said: "Are you looking for a wife to be your farmer? Why are you interested in the military formation again? "

Zhang Guofeng said: "I am a smart man. If I don't kill all those who don't want me to be a farmer, do you think I have a chance to be a happy farmer?

Come on, you are going crazy thinking about going to the battlefield, but you still want to act so deliberately, you are not tired.

Li Dingguo stood up, took a look at the wasteland in front of him, smacked his mouth and said, "That bitch Xu Wu wants to deceive me. What kind of orchards, mulberry fields, and grain fields are he planning?" , fish pond, and house with five acres of land, it turns out that I need to work on it with my own hands and feet! ”

Zhang Guofeng said with a smile: “I can do it by myself whenever I like, and build my own house by myself.I can take care of my own land, sleep on my own wife, and give birth to my own children... Hahahaha, this is the life I want to live. ”
